Description
A rail transit vehicle door maintenance system and method Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle door maintenance technology, specifically to a rail transit vehicle door maintenance system and method. Background Technology
[0002] The door system is an important component of rail transit vehicles. During vehicle maintenance and overhaul, the entire door mechanism needs to be disassembled, and the door panel mechanism needs to be transferred to other sites for maintenance.
[0003] Utility model patent CN215941120U discloses a railway freight car door maintenance line. Its control system uses a hydraulic system to control the main cylinder, thus automating the door shaping process. However, it only covers the door leaf maintenance, lacking maintenance of smaller components and drive structure parts. In actual use, the probability of failure in these components is not low. Due to the lack of corresponding maintenance functions, these component failures cannot be detected and addressed in a timely manner, leading to a decline in the overall performance of the door and potentially causing safety accidents. Furthermore, it does not cover the post-assembly testing stage. Even if the door leaf maintenance is successful, the performance and quality of the entire door after assembly cannot be guaranteed. If the precision of the fit between components and the stability of the overall structure are not effectively verified, various problems may occur in actual use, such as difficulty opening and closing, abnormal noises, and air leaks, reducing the reliability and safety of vehicle operation. If manual inspection of small parts or drive structure components of the door is required, or if the door needs to be removed from the inspection line and transferred to other specialized inspection equipment or sites for testing, this not only increases the workload and time costs of the transfer process and reduces inspection efficiency, but may also lead to secondary damage to the door during transport. Furthermore, both the door loading and unloading assistive balancers require manual operation, resulting in insufficient automation. In addition, data collection during the inspection process is incomplete, making quality traceability impossible, and safety protection measures in the work area are inadequate, posing safety risks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rail transit vehicle door maintenance system and method.

Detailed Implementation
[0058] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0059] The present invention provides a rail transit vehicle door maintenance system, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, which includes a door maintenance area 100, a small parts disassembly and assembly area 200, a drive mechanism parts disassembly and assembly area 300, and a door assembly and testing area 400. These four areas have clear division of labor and work together in an orderly manner to form an organic whole. Specifically, the door panel inspection area 100 is equipped with a first robotic arm 101 and an inspection and straightening table 102. The first robotic arm 101 can pick up the door panel 103 to be inspected and place it on the inspection and straightening table 102 for inspection and straightening to form a door panel 106 to be assembled. The small parts disassembly and assembly area 200 includes a second robotic arm 201 and a small parts disassembly and assembly table 202. The second robotic arm 201 can pick up small parts and place them on the small parts disassembly and assembly table 202 for disassembly and assembly. The drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly area 300 includes a third robotic arm 301, a fourth robotic arm 302, and a drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly table 303. The third robotic arm 301 picks up drive mechanism components and cooperates with the fourth robotic arm 302 to disassemble and assemble the drive mechanism components to be inspected on the drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly table 303. The door assembly and testing area 400 includes a fifth robotic arm 4. 01. The sixth robotic arm 402, the seventh robotic arm 403, and the door assembly test frame 404 are used. The seventh robotic arm 403 is used to pick up the door leaf 106 to be assembled and fix the door leaf 106 to be assembled onto the door assembly test frame 404. The fifth robotic arm 401 is used to pick up the disassembled and assembled small parts and install the disassembled and assembled small parts onto the door leaf 106 to be assembled. The sixth robotic arm 402 is used to pick up the disassembled and assembled drive mechanism parts and install the disassembled and assembled drive mechanism parts onto the door leaf 106 to be assembled. The door assembly test frame 404 is equipped with an opening and closing test device to perform opening and closing tests on the assembled door leaf. The first robotic arm 101, the second robotic arm 201, the third robotic arm 301, the fourth robotic arm 302, the fifth robotic arm 401, the sixth robotic arm 402, and the seventh robotic arm 403 are controlled by a controller in the control cabinet 411. The controller uses an existing algorithm. By cooperating with multiple robotic arms, the process of door panel inspection, assembly and testing has been automated, enabling parallel operation in multiple areas, improving inspection efficiency and quality, and ensuring operational safety.
[0060] The door inspection area 100 is equipped with a first storage rack 104 and a second storage rack 105. The first storage rack 104 is used to store door panels 103 to be inspected, and the second storage rack 105 is used to store door panels 106 to be assembled. This provides dedicated categorized storage space for door panels 103 to be inspected and door panels 106 to be assembled. This categorized storage method facilitates managers to quickly find the required door panels, improving the efficiency and accuracy of door panel management. Two inspection and straightening tables 102 are provided, with a first robotic arm 101 positioned between the two tables. Depending on the allocation of inspection tasks, the first robotic arm 101 can simultaneously provide services to both inspection and straightening tables 102, effectively improving inspection efficiency. The first robotic arm 101 travels on the first travel track 107, improving its working range and flexibility. The first robotic arm 101 is equipped with a first quick-change interface, and a first quick-change tooling bracket 108 is located on one side of the inspection and correction table 102. The first quick-change tooling bracket 108 has various quick-change tools, which can be connected to the first robotic arm 101 through the first quick-change interface. The first quick-change interface and the various quick-change tools allow the first robotic arm 101 to quickly change tools according to different operational needs, improving its versatility and reducing downtime caused by tooling changes, further improving maintenance efficiency.
[0061] The first quick-change fixture includes a suction cup fixture 109 for adsorbing and transporting the door leaf 103 to be inspected. The suction cup fixture 109 is simple and convenient to operate; the first robotic arm 101 can quickly and accurately adsorb the suction cup onto the door leaf and move it to the inspection and straightening table 102 or other designated locations, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of door leaf transport. The first robotic arm 101 is equipped with a three-dimensional scanning sensor (not shown), which is electrically connected to the controller. The inspection and straightening table 102 is equipped with a straightening fixture 110, and the three-dimensional scanning sensor is electrically connected to the inspection and straightening table 102. This allows the three-dimensional scanning sensor to scan and detect the external dimensions of the door leaf 103 to be inspected and then feed the signal back to the inspection and straightening table 102, so that the straightening fixture 110 can straighten the door leaf. The three-dimensional scanning sensor, controller, and inspection and straightening table 102 are electrically connected, forming a highly efficient detection and feedback system. When inspecting the dimensions of the door leaf 103 under inspection, the 3D scanning sensor can quickly and accurately scan various parts of the door leaf to obtain its 3D dimensional data. This data is transmitted to the controller in real time via electrical signals. After analyzing and processing the data, the controller feeds back the specific deformation to the inspection and straightening table 102. The straightening fixture 110 on the inspection and straightening table 102 straightens the door leaf according to the actual deformation, ensuring that the door leaf can be restored to its normal dimensions. This precise inspection and straightening method greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of the straightening compared to traditional manual inspection and experience-based straightening, ensuring the quality of the door leaf. The door leaf inspection area 100 is also equipped with a paint touch-up booth 111, which contains a paint touch-up device for touching up the paint on the door leaf 103 under inspection. Through paint touch-up treatment, not only is the appearance quality of the door leaf guaranteed, but the corrosion resistance and service life of the door leaf are also improved.
[0062] The small parts disassembly and assembly area 200 includes a small parts tray 203, a second quick-change tooling bracket 204, and a small parts rotary storage unit 205. The small parts tray 203 stably holds and stores various small parts. The second robotic arm 201 has a second quick-change interface, and the second quick-change tooling bracket 204 has various second quick-change toolings that can be connected to the second robotic arm 201 via the second quick-change interface. The second robotic arm 201 is equipped with a second vision sensor, which is connected to a controller. The second vision sensor performs visual inspection on the disassembled and assembled small parts. The second robotic arm 201 places qualified small parts into the small parts rotary storage unit 205, and unqualified small parts into the scrap area of the small parts tray 203. The second vision sensor performs visual inspection on the disassembled and assembled small parts, automating quality inspection. The second vision sensor can quickly and accurately detect the appearance quality, dimensional accuracy, and other indicators of the small parts. During the inspection process, the second vision sensor compares and analyzes the acquired image data with preset standard images to determine whether the small parts are qualified. For qualified small parts, the second robotic arm 201 places them into the small parts rotary storage unit 205; for unqualified small parts, the second robotic arm 201 places them into the scrap area of the small parts tray 203 for subsequent rework or scrapping. This automated quality inspection method not only improves inspection efficiency and accuracy but also reduces subjective errors from manual inspection, ensuring the quality stability of the small parts.
[0063] A cleaning and oiling station 206 is provided between the small parts disassembly and assembly area 200 and the drive mechanism parts disassembly and assembly area 300. During the use of rail transit doors, small parts accumulate dust, oil, and other impurities, which affect their performance and quality. Cleaning and oiling can effectively extend the service life of small parts and improve their performance and quality. The second quick-change tooling includes a disassembly lever manual tooling, a second pick-up tooling, and a small parts cleaning tooling. The second pick-up tooling is used by the second robotic arm 201 to pick up the small parts to be inspected from the small parts tray 203 and place them on the small parts disassembly and assembly station 202. The disassembly lever manual tooling is used by the second robotic arm 201 to disassemble and assemble the small parts on the small parts disassembly and assembly station 202. The small parts cleaning tooling is used by the second robotic arm 201 to place the disassembled small parts on the cleaning and oiling station 206 for cleaning and oiling. By quickly changing these toolings, the second robotic arm 201 can continuously complete multiple tasks at one workstation, improving work efficiency.
[0064] The drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly area 300 is equipped with a drive mechanism component tray 304, a third quick-change tooling bracket 305, a fourth quick-change tooling bracket 306, and a drive mechanism component rotary storage unit 307. The third robotic arm 301 is equipped with a third quick-change interface, and the third quick-change tooling bracket 305 is equipped with various third quick-change toolings, which can be connected to the third robotic arm 301 through the third quick-change interface. The fourth robotic arm 302 is equipped with a fourth quick-change interface, and the fourth quick-change tooling bracket 306 is equipped with various fourth quick-change toolings, which can be connected to the fourth robotic arm 302 through the fourth quick-change interface. By quickly changing tooling, such as different sizes of sockets, screwdrivers, and clamps, the third robotic arm 301 and the fourth robotic arm 302 can adapt to various complex work scenarios and complete tasks such as picking up, disassembling, and assembling drive mechanism components. This flexibility enables the robotic arms to efficiently complete the disassembly and assembly of drive mechanism components, improving work efficiency and quality. The fourth robotic arm 302 is equipped with a fourth vision sensor, which is used for visual inspection of the disassembled drive mechanism components. The fourth vision sensor is connected to the controller. This automated quality inspection process allows the fourth vision sensor to visually inspect the disassembled drive mechanism components. During inspection, the fourth vision sensor compares and analyzes the acquired image data with a preset standard model to determine whether the drive mechanism components are qualified. Simultaneously, the fourth vision sensor can also feed the inspection results back to the controller in real time. The controller adjusts and optimizes subsequent assembly processes based on the inspection results, ensuring the assembly quality of the drive mechanism components.
[0065] The third quick-change fixture includes a third pick-up fixture and a fixing fixture. The third robotic arm 301 uses the third pick-up fixture to pick up the drive mechanism component to be repaired from the drive mechanism component tray 304 and place it on the drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly table 303. The fourth quick-change fixture includes a fourth pick-up fixture, a disassembly fixture, a drive mechanism component cleaning fixture, and a pressing fixture. When the drive mechanism component to be repaired is disassembled or assembled, the third robotic arm 301 uses the fixing fixture to fix the drive mechanism component to be repaired on the drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly table 303. The fourth robotic arm 302 uses the disassembly fixture to disassemble or assemble the drive mechanism component to be repaired. The fourth robotic arm 302 uses the drive mechanism component cleaning fixture to place the disassembled drive mechanism component into the cleaning and oiling table 206 for cleaning and oiling. The drive mechanism component cleaning fixture can cooperate with the cleaning equipment to perform deep cleaning on the disassembled components, removing surface oil and impurities. The pressing fixture is used to press and lock the assembled drive mechanism components to ensure that the connection between the components is firm and reliable. When the drive mechanism component to be inspected is assembled, the fourth robotic arm 302 uses a pressing fixture to lock and fix the assembled drive mechanism component, and then uses a fourth picking fixture to place the assembled drive mechanism component into the drive mechanism component rotary storage unit 307. The third robotic arm 301 and the fourth robotic arm 302 work together to efficiently complete the disassembly and assembly of the drive mechanism component. During disassembly, the third robotic arm 301 is responsible for picking up and fixing the drive mechanism component, while the fourth robotic arm 302 is responsible for disassembly operations using the disassembly fixture. During assembly, the third robotic arm 301 and the fourth robotic arm 302 use the picking fixture and assembly fixture respectively to collaboratively complete operations such as picking up, docking, and locking the component. This cooperative working mode fully utilizes the advantages of the two robotic arms, improves the parallelism and coordination of the operation, reduces the operation time and labor intensity, and ensures the efficient and accurate completion of the disassembly and assembly of the drive mechanism component.

The door assembly test frame 404 is located between the second travel track 405 and the third travel track 406. The fifth robotic arm 401 and the sixth robotic arm 402 travel on the second travel track 405, and the fourth robotic arm 302 travels on the third travel track 406. This layout design fully considers the working range and ease of operation of the robotic arms, allowing the three robotic arms to move freely on their respective tracks without interfering with each other. At the same time, the door assembly test frame 404 is located in the middle position, which facilitates the three robotic arms to accurately install small parts and drive mechanism components onto the door, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly operation. The fifth robotic arm 401 is equipped with a fifth quick-change interface, and a fifth quick-change tooling bracket 407 is equipped with various fifth quick-change toolings. These toolings can be connected to the fifth robotic arm 401 through the fifth quick-change interface. The sixth robotic arm 402 is equipped with a sixth quick-change interface, and a sixth quick-change tooling bracket 408 is equipped with various sixth quick-change toolings. These toolings can be connected to the sixth robotic arm 402 through the sixth quick-change interface. The seventh robotic arm 403 is equipped with a seventh quick-change interface, and a seventh quick-change tooling bracket 409 is equipped with various seventh quick-change toolings. These toolings can be connected to the seventh robotic arm 403 through the seventh quick-change interface. Equipped with various quick-change toolings, the robotic arms can quickly change tooling according to operational needs.
[0067] The seventh quick-change tooling includes a suction cup handling tooling 410. The seventh robotic arm 403 uses the suction cup handling tooling 410 to fix the door panel 106 to be assembled onto the door assembly test rack 404. The fifth quick-change tooling includes a fifth picking tooling and a locking tooling. The fifth robotic arm 401 uses the fifth picking tooling to place small parts from the small parts rotary storage 205 onto the door assembly test rack 404. When assembling the door panel, the fifth robotic arm 401 uses the locking tooling to secure the door panel. The sixth quick-change tooling includes a sixth picking tooling and an assembly tooling. The sixth robotic arm 402 uses the sixth picking tooling to place the drive mechanism components from the drive mechanism component rotary storage 307 onto the door assembly test rack 404. When assembling the door panel, the sixth robotic arm 402 uses the assembly tooling to dock and install the door panel and drive mechanism components, thus realizing the assembly of the door and improving the quality and efficiency of door assembly. The car door assembly test rack 404 is equipped with a car door opening and closing test device, which can perform opening and closing tests on the assembled car doors. The seventh robotic arm 403 is equipped with a seventh vision sensor to collect the opening and closing data of the car doors. The seventh vision sensor is connected to the controller. The setup of the car door opening and closing test device and the seventh vision sensor allows for the automation of testing and ensures the quality of the car doors by automating the opening and closing process and collecting data. The car door opening and closing test can simulate the opening and closing actions of the car door in actual operation, accurately testing parameters such as opening and closing force, opening and closing speed, opening and closing angle, and sealing performance. The seventh vision sensor can monitor the opening and closing process of the car door in real time, collect data, and transmit the collected data to the controller. The controller analyzes and processes the data to determine whether the opening and closing performance of the car door meets the design requirements. If problems such as uneven opening and closing or jamming are detected, the controller can issue an alarm in a timely manner and record relevant data for subsequent maintenance and adjustment. This automated testing method not only improves testing efficiency and accuracy, but also enables the timely detection of potential problems in the car doors, ensuring their quality and safety.
[0068] This system is equipped with multiple robotic arms, each with a clearly defined role and working collaboratively. From picking up the door panel to disassembling and assembling small parts and drive mechanism components, and finally to the door assembly and testing, the entire process is automated, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing manual operation time and labor intensity. Four areas can simultaneously perform door panel maintenance, small part disassembly and assembly, and drive mechanism component disassembly and assembly, significantly shortening the overall maintenance cycle and increasing door maintenance capacity. Using 3D scanning sensors and multiple vision sensors, the system accurately detects the door panel's dimensions, small parts, and drive mechanism components, promptly identifying deformation, damage, and other issues. This provides a basis for precise correction and repair, effectively ensuring maintenance quality.
