Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical technology, and in particular to a shaft assembly fixture device. Background Technology

[0002] During the assembly of the shaft, a robotic arm replaces manual labor to pick up the shaft and move it to the designated position for assembly. The existing robotic arm gripping parts are all electric grippers. Due to the large weight of the shaft, a high-power electric gripper is required. This increases the weight of the robotic arm end and increases the energy consumption of the robotic arm. In addition, the hard-on gripping of the shaft by the electric gripper can easily cause scratches on the outer surface of the shaft. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a shaft assembly fixture device to overcome the problems mentioned above.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A shaft assembly fixture device, comprising: The flange mounting plate is fixedly connected to the robotic arm flange head at the end of the robotic arm by bolts; The base frame is fixedly connected to the flange mounting plate. The base frame has several reference mounting holes spaced apart, and two reference mounting holes at the top and bottom form a mounting hole group. Two main arms are symmetrically mounted on the base frame and fixed to one of the mounting hole groups by bolts. The end of the main arm away from the base frame is provided with a sliding groove. An auxiliary arm is located in the middle of the base frame, and the auxiliary arm is provided with a sliding groove; An inflatable chuck includes a slider slidably disposed within the groove and three pneumatic chuck wheels rotatably mounted at both ends of the slider. The three pneumatic chuck wheels have a clamping state and a non-clamping state and satisfy the following conditions: Clamping state: The center distance between the two pneumatic clamping wheels on the main arm minus the diameter of the pneumatic clamping wheel is smaller than the diameter of the clamped shaft, and the distance from the center of the pneumatic clamping wheel on the auxiliary arm to the line connecting the centers of the other two pneumatic clamping wheels minus the radius of the pneumatic clamping wheel is greater than the radius of the clamped shaft. Non-clamping state: The center distance between the two pneumatic clamping wheels on the main arm minus the diameter of the pneumatic clamping wheels is greater than the diameter of the clamped shaft; The air supply route is used to inflate the air clamp wheel.

[0005] In one embodiment, the main boom includes a boom head with two through holes and a boom rod integrally formed with the boom head, the slide groove being disposed at the end of the boom rod, and the boom head being fixed to the reference mounting hole by bolts.

[0006] In one embodiment, the air clamp wheel includes a rubber airbag base wheel rotatably mounted on the slider and a disc-shaped rubber airbag fitted in the annular recess of the rubber airbag base wheel. The disc-shaped rubber airbag increases in size after being inflated through the air supply route, and the axial elastic modulus of the disc-shaped rubber airbag is greater than its axial elastic modulus.

[0007] In one embodiment, a push plate extending beyond the axial length of the pneumatic clamping wheel is fixed at the end of the arm. After the disc-shaped rubber airbag is inflated, it contacts the push plate on one side. Under the action of the reaction force, the disc-shaped rubber airbag on the arm will move closer to the disc-shaped rubber airbag on the auxiliary arm to achieve a tightening clamping effect. At the same time, the radius of the disc-shaped rubber airbag increases after it is inflated, which clamps the shaft being clamped.

[0008] In one embodiment, a spring is further included, which is assembled in the groove of the inflatable chuck and the auxiliary arm. The two ends of the spring mounted on the arm are respectively fixed on the arm and the slider and push the slider toward the push plate. The two ends of the spring mounted on the auxiliary arm are respectively fixed on the auxiliary arm and the corresponding slider and push the slider to the initial position.

[0009] In one embodiment, the slider is hollow and symmetrically equipped with dynamic sealing bearings inside. The rubber airbag base wheel shaft is assembled with the dynamic sealing bearings. An air pipe is provided inside the rubber airbag base wheel shaft, which communicates with the inner cavity of the slider and has an air nozzle at the other end. The inflation port of the disc-type rubber airbag is fixedly connected to the air nozzle.

[0010] In one embodiment, a miniature solenoid valve communicating with its inner cavity is also fixed on the slider. When the clamp is released, the miniature solenoid valve opens, and air is quickly discharged under the indirect pressure of the spring and the elastic recovery of the disc-shaped rubber airbag, and the inflatable clamp is reset.

[0011] In one embodiment, the air supply route includes a rubber air tube communicating with the inner cavity of the slider, a main air tube connector fixed on the base frame, and a three-part pipe connector connected to the main air tube connector. The three-part pipe connector communicates with three of the rubber air tubes respectively to form an air supply route to the slider. Specifically, the auxiliary arm and the arm rod are provided with cavities for assembling the rubber air tubes. The rubber air tubes are flexible and have sufficient length allowance for the normal movement of the inflatable clamp. The main air tube connector is connected to an external air pump through a pipeline. The air pump inflates the disc-shaped rubber airbag and deflates it through the micro solenoid valve.

[0012] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are as follows: the main air pipe connector is connected to an external air pump through the pipeline, the air pump inflates the disc-shaped rubber airbag, and the air is released through the micro solenoid valve. The clamping and releasing of the shaft is achieved by utilizing the contraction and expansion of the disc-shaped rubber airbag and the spacing adjustment of the inflatable clamp. Compared with existing electromechanical clamps, it is lighter, reduces the risk of scratching the outer surface of the shaft, and has higher anti-slip properties after clamping.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention. The embodiments of the invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1-6 As shown, the shaft assembly fixture device of the present invention includes: Transport line 10 is used to transport the shafts to be assembled; Robotic arm 11 is used to pick up the shaft from the transport line 10 and move it to a designated position for subsequent assembly; Shaft assembler 12 performs press fitting on the shaft; the above is existing technology and will not be described in detail. It also includes a flange mounting plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the robotic arm flange head 13 at the end of the robotic arm 11 by bolts; The base frame 16 is fixedly connected to the flange mounting plate 14. The base frame 16 has several reference mounting holes 17 spaced apart. The upper and lower reference mounting holes 17 form a mounting hole group, which can be connected by bolts or welding. Two main arms 23 are symmetrically mounted on the base frame 16 and fixed to one of the mounting hole groups by bolts. The end of the main arm 23 away from the base frame 16 is provided with a sliding groove. An auxiliary arm 24 is disposed in the middle of the base frame 16, and the auxiliary arm 24 is provided with a sliding groove; The inflatable chuck 22 includes a slider 26 slidably disposed in the groove and air clamping wheels 15 rotatably mounted at both ends of the slider 26. The three air clamping wheels 15 have a clamping state and a non-clamping state and satisfy the following conditions: Clamping state: The center distance between the two pneumatic clamping wheels 15 on the main arm 23 minus the diameter of the pneumatic clamping wheel 15 is less than the diameter of the clamped shaft, and the distance from the center of the pneumatic clamping wheel 15 on the auxiliary arm 24 to the line connecting the centers of the other two pneumatic clamping wheels 15 minus the radius of the pneumatic clamping wheel 15 is greater than the radius of the clamped shaft. Non-clamping state: The center distance between the two pneumatic clamping wheels 15 located on the main arm 23 minus the diameter of the pneumatic clamping wheel 15 is greater than the diameter of the clamped shaft; The air supply route is used to inflate the air clamp wheel 15.

[0017] In one embodiment, the main arm 23 includes an arm head 19 with two through holes and an arm rod 20 integrally formed with the arm head 19. The sliding groove is provided at the end of the arm rod 20. The arm head 19 is fixed to the reference mounting hole 17 by bolts. The distance between the two main arms 23 can be adjusted as needed to achieve appropriate adjustment of the clamping range.

[0018] In one embodiment, the air clamp wheel 15 includes a rubber airbag base wheel 28 rotatably mounted on the slider 26 and a disc rubber airbag 32 fitted in the annular recess of the rubber airbag base wheel 28. The disc rubber airbag 32 increases in size after being inflated through the air supply route. The axial elastic modulus of the disc rubber airbag 32 is greater than its axial elastic modulus, and the diameter of the disc rubber airbag 32 increases after inflation.

[0019] In one embodiment, a push plate 21 extending beyond the axial length of the pneumatic clamping wheel 15 is fixedly provided at the end of the arm 20. After the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 inflates, it contacts the push plate 21 on one side. Under the action of the reaction force, the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 on the arm 20 moves closer to the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 on the auxiliary arm 24 to achieve a tightening clamping effect. Simultaneously, the increased radius of the inflated disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 further clamps the shaft being clamped (e.g., ...). Figure 6 It should be noted that although the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 is a flexible component, the internal air pressure after inflation causes its external dimensions to tend to solidify. It still has high clamping stability under high pressure, and the rubber itself has good anti-slip properties and will not scratch the shaft surface. Compared with the prior art, it has many improvements.

[0020] In one embodiment, to facilitate reset and allow the shaft to disengage from the clamp, a spring 25 is included. The spring 25 is fitted within a groove in the pneumatic chuck 22 and the auxiliary arm 24, wherein... Figure 2 The spring 25 mounted on the arm 20 has its two ends fixed to the arm 20 and the slider 26 respectively, and pushes the slider 26 toward the push plate 21. The spring 25 mounted on the auxiliary arm 24 has its two ends fixed to the auxiliary arm 24 and the corresponding slider 26 respectively, and pushes the slider 26 to the initial position.

[0021] In one embodiment, the slider 26 is hollow and symmetrically equipped with dynamic sealing bearings 30 inside. The rotating shaft of the rubber airbag base wheel 28 is assembled with the dynamic sealing bearings 30. An air tube is provided inside the rotating shaft of the rubber airbag base wheel 28, which communicates with the inner cavity of the slider 26 and has an air nozzle 29 at the other end. The inflation port of the disc rubber airbag 32 is fixedly connected to the air nozzle 29.

[0022] In one embodiment, a miniature solenoid valve 31 communicating with its inner cavity is also fixed on the slider 26. When it is necessary to release the clamp, the miniature solenoid valve 31 opens, and under the indirect pressure of the spring 25 and the elastic recovery of the disc rubber airbag 32, the air is quickly discharged, and the inflatable chuck 22 resets, thereby separating and releasing the shaft from the clamp.

[0023] In one embodiment, the air supply route includes a rubber air tube 27 communicating with the inner cavity of the slider 26, a main air tube connector 18 fixed on the base frame 16, and a three-part pipe connector connected to the main air tube connector 18. The three-part pipe connector communicates with three of the rubber air tubes 27 respectively to form an air supply route to the slider 26. Specifically, the auxiliary arm 24 and the arm 20 are provided with cavities for assembling the rubber air tubes 27. The rubber air tubes 27 are flexible and have sufficient length margin for the inflatable chuck 22 to move normally. The main air tube connector 18 is connected to an external air pump through a pipeline. The air pump inflates the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 and deflates it through the micro solenoid valve 31. The clamping and releasing of the shaft is achieved by utilizing the contraction and expansion of the disc-shaped rubber airbag 32 and the spacing adjustment of the inflatable chuck 22. Compared with existing electromechanical clamps, it is lighter, reduces the risk of scratching the outer surface of the shaft, and has higher anti-slip performance after clamping.

[0024] It should be emphasized that the embodiments described in this invention are illustrative rather than limiting. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the embodiments described in the specific implementation. Any other implementation methods derived by those skilled in the art based on the technical solutions of this invention also fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
