Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotic hole-making technology, and in particular to a hole-making device for a large-span airfoil. Background Technology
[0002] The quality of drilling holes in aircraft wings directly affects the fatigue life and connection reliability of aerospace structures. Modern aerospace manufacturing places stringent requirements on the precision, efficiency, and operational range of wing drilling. Currently, traditional manual drilling processes for aircraft wings rely on hand tools and physical drill jigs. The process quality is significantly affected by the operator's skill level, resulting in low repeatability, high labor intensity, and difficulty in digitally tracing process parameters. These methods can no longer meet the demands of modern aerospace manufacturing.
[0003] To address the drawbacks of manual drilling, various automated drilling solutions have emerged in the industry, but all have significant limitations: large-scale dedicated automatic drilling and riveting systems, while achieving high-precision drilling, suffer from high equipment integration costs and low flexibility, making them unsuitable for the production needs of multiple aircraft wing models; drilling solutions based on fixed base industrial robots or collaborative robots improve flexibility, but are limited by the robot's workspace, making it difficult to cover the wide-ranging drilling needs of large-size, complex curved wings; and automated drilling systems based on flexible tracks offer lightweight assembly solutions, but require customized flexible tracks designed according to the curvature of different wings, resulting in high costs and difficult track installation, leading to decreased production efficiency and making them unsuitable for mass production of multiple wing models.
[0004] In summary, existing aircraft wing drilling technology cannot simultaneously meet the three core requirements of precision, flexibility, and operating range. There is an urgent need for an automated drilling device that can achieve a wide range, high precision, and high flexibility to solve the pain points of existing technologies.

[0038] The cable arrangement 6 consists of multiple cables, including cable 6001, cable 6002, cable 6003, cable 6004, cable 6005, cable 6006, cable 6007, cable 6008, cable 6009, cable 6010, cable 6011, cable 6012, and cable 6013. The arrangement and connection of each cable are adapted to the power transmission and motion traction requirements of each component, and the core is divided into three parts: The connecting cables (6001-6008) between the AGV and the end attitude adjustment device: The first cable 6001 is installed on the drum of the first cable winding mechanism 1009 of the first AGV moving frame 1, and is connected to the hanging ring 2114 of the left cable winding mechanism 2100 after passing through pulleys 1009-12, steering pulley 1010, and pulley structure 1006; the arrangement of the second cable 6002 to the fourth cable 6004 is the same as that of the first cable 6001, and they are respectively connected to the left and right cable windings. The corresponding hanging ring of the cable mechanism; the eighth cable 6008 is installed on the second cable reel of the first AGV moving frame 1, and after passing through the corresponding pulley and the second steering pulley 1012, it is connected to the hanging ring 2103 of the left cable reel 2100; the arrangement of the fifth cable 6005 to the seventh cable 6007 is the same as that of the eighth cable 6008, and they are respectively connected to the corresponding hanging rings of the left and right cable reel mechanisms. The up, down and left and right movement of the end effector is realized by the traction of the eight cables.
[0039] like Figure 14 As shown, the internal cables (6009-6012) of the end-effector attitude adjustment device are as follows: The tenth cable 6010 is installed on the second cable reel 2117 of the left cable winding mechanism 2100, and after passing through the pulley of the left pulley frame of the lower plate, it is connected to the second fixing buckle 2212-18 of the rotating mechanism to realize the rotation of the rotating mechanism; the ninth cable 6009 is arranged in the same way as the tenth cable 6010 to realize the rotation of the upper plate rotating mechanism; the twelfth cable 6012 is installed on the cable reel of the right cable winding mechanism 2500, and after passing through the pulley of the right pulley frame of the lower plate and the pulley of the rotating mechanism, it is connected to the left and right slides of the rotating mechanism to realize the left and right movement of the slides; the eleventh cable 6011 is arranged in the same way as the twelfth cable 6012 to realize the movement of the slide of the upper plate rotating mechanism. Through the traction of the four cables, the precise adjustment of the end-effector attitude is realized.
[0040] Differential feed device internal cable (6013): The arrangement of the thirteenth cable 6013 is as follows Figure 15As shown, the cable is drawn out from the spiral groove of the conical differential feed mechanism cable drum 3113, passes through the pulleys of the moving ring 3104 and the third device base 3103 in sequence, forms three closed loops and winds back to the drum. Through the transmission of the cable, the rotation of the drum is converted into the axial linear motion of the moving ring.
[0041] Working principle: Place the aircraft wing fixing frame 7 in a fixed position within the factory area, clamp and fix the aircraft wing to the frame body to ensure the stability of the wing; control the AGV1001 of the first AGV moving frame 1 and the AGV5001 of the second AGV moving frame 5 to drive the overall hole-making mechanism to a suitable position in front of the aircraft wing fixing frame 7, and then fix the two AGVs to ensure the stability of subsequent operations. The cable winding mechanism on the first and second AGV moving frames is controlled to move in unison, so as to realize the synchronous winding and unwinding of the first cable 6001 to the eighth cable 6008. The end effector composed of the end attitude adjustment device 2, differential feed device 3 and automatic feed drill gun 4 is pulled to move up, down and left and right until the automatic feed drill gun 4 is moved to the outside of the corresponding hole position of the drill template 7001 of the aircraft wing fixed frame 7, and the position positioning is completed. like Figure 16 As shown, the motors (2104, 2119, 2504, 2519) of the left and right cable winding mechanisms of the control end attitude adjustment device 2 rotate, driving the ninth cable 6009 to the twelfth cable 6012 to be wound and unwound; among them, the ninth cable 6009 and the tenth cable 6010 pull the upper and lower plate rotation mechanisms to rotate at multiple angles, and the eleventh cable 6011 and the twelfth cable 6012 pull the left and right slides of the rotation mechanism to move left and right along the slide bar, driving the universal joint to rotate, thereby adjusting the attitude of the differential feed device 3 and the automatic feed drill 4, so that the axis of the automatic feed drill 4 is kept parallel to the normal vector of the hole position of the drill template 7001, and the attitude is accurately matched.
[0042] The motor 3114 of the differential feed device 3 rotates, driving the conical differential feed mechanism cable reel 3113 to rotate. Through the closed-loop transmission of the thirteenth cable 6013, the moving ring 3104 is pulled to move axially linearly along the guide rod. The moving ring drives the feed rod 3107, the clamp mounting plate 3106, and the automatic feed drill 4 to perform differential feed motion towards the hole position of the drill template 7001 until the automatic feed drill 4 extends into the hole position of the drill template 7001. At this time, the diameter-changing locking mechanism 4001 of the automatic feed drill 4 locks the drill 4 and the drill template to prevent drilling vibration. Then the automatic feed drill 4 is turned on, and the drill body automatically completes the feed drilling operation to achieve precise hole making of the aircraft wing.
