Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machining, in particular to a tooling for assisting a manipulator to automatically mark steel numbers. Background Art

[0002] The wheel hub is an important component of the car. During the production and processing of the wheel hub, the steel number needs to be stamped on the surface of the wheel hub to show the parameters of the wheel hub such as diameter, width, aperture, production batch, and load capacity. At present, the steel numbering of the wheel hub is basically done manually by workers, which has a high labor intensity. In addition, due to the large differences in workers' operations, the steel number may not be clear, the position of the steel number varies greatly, and the consistency is poor. If the workers improve the consistency of the position of the steel number and the clarity of the steel number when stamping the steel number, it will seriously affect the workers' work efficiency and make the company's production cost investment higher. Therefore, in order to improve work efficiency and improve the automated production of the factory, many companies use robot processing, and when stamping the steel number, they need to design tooling that cooperates with the robot to realize automatic stamping of the steel number.

[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model document proposes a tool for assisting a manipulator to automatically mark steel numbers. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example:

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a tooling for assisting a manipulator in automatically punching steel numbers comprises a buffer support mechanism, a clamping hole 101 is provided on the buffer support mechanism, a base handle 2 is detachably provided in the clamping hole 101, a steel number insert 3 is detachably provided on the top of the base handle 2, and a steel number lettering 4 is provided on the top surface of the steel number insert 3.

[0025] The steel number insert 3 with the steel number lettering 4 is set on the base handle, and the base handle is set on the buffer support mechanism. The manipulator clamps the wheel hub and moves to the top of the tooling, and then aligns the position of the wheel hub where the steel number is stamped with the steel number lettering 4, and then presses down the tooling through the wheel hub to make the steel number lettering 4 printed on the wheel hub, thereby completing the automatic steel number stamping of the wheel hub. The tooling can cooperate with the manipulator to automatically stamp the steel number on the wheel hub, thereby improving work efficiency, reducing labor costs, and thereby reducing the company's cost investment. At the same time, due to the use of the manipulator to press down, the clarity of the steel number and the consistency of the position are improved.

[0026] The buffer support mechanism is an automatic rebound cylinder 1 , and a clamping hole 101 is provided on the output shaft end surface of the automatic rebound cylinder 1 along its length direction.

[0027] The automatic rebound cylinder 1 can reduce the impact force on the wheel hub when the manipulator presses down, and can also drive the steel number insert 3 to rebound to the initial position after the steel number is set, ensuring the same impact force on the wheel hub and the consistency of the clarity of the steel number.

[0028] A first positioning hole 102 is formed on the side wall of the clamping hole 101 , a limiting groove 205 matching the positioning hole is formed on the bottom end of the base handle 2 , and a first limiting pin 5 is detachably provided in the first positioning hole 102 and the limiting groove 205 .

[0029] Insert the bottom support handle 2 into the clamping hole 101 on the end face of the output shaft of the automatic rebound cylinder 1, and insert the first limiting pin 5 into the first positioning hole 102 and the limiting groove 205, thereby completing the connection between the bottom support handle 2 and the automatic rebound cylinder 1 to prevent the bottom support handle 2 from being separated from the automatic rebound cylinder 1.

[0030] The top of the base handle 2 includes a rectangular connecting rod 201 and a positioning block 202 fixed at one end thereof. A slot 203 is formed on the top surface of the positioning block 202 , and a steel grade insert 3 is detachably provided in the slot 203 ; the clamping hole 101 is a rectangular hole matching the rectangular connecting rod 201 .

[0031] The rectangular connecting rod 201 cooperates with the rectangular hole to prevent the bottom bracket handle 2 from rotating in the clamping hole 101, thereby ensuring the consistency of the steel grade of the wheel hub and facilitating assembly of the tooling.

[0032] Second positioning holes 204 are formed on both side walls of the slot 203 , and limiting holes matching the second positioning holes 204 are formed on the steel grade insert 3 . Second limiting pins 6 are detachably provided in the second positioning holes 204 and the limiting holes.

[0033] The steel number insert 3 is clamped in the clamping groove 203, and the second limiting pin 6 is inserted into the second positioning hole 204 and the limiting hole for fixing, so as to ensure that the position of the steel number insert 3 is fixed, and the steel number lettering 4 on the top surface of the steel number insert 3 can be aligned with the wheel hub, so as to ensure that the steel numbering of the wheel hub works normally.

[0034] The thickness of the steel grade lettering 4 is 0.9 to 1.1 mm.

[0035] Ensure the clarity of the steel grade that can be stamped on the wheel hub, while also preventing the steel grade from being too deep and affecting the structural strength of the wheel hub.

[0036] The limiting groove 205 is formed on the side of the base handle 2 , and the distance between the limiting groove 205 and the bottom end of the base handle 2 is less than the depth of the clamping hole 101 .

[0037] After the bottom end of the base handle 2 is inserted into the locking hole 101 , the first positioning hole 102 and the limiting groove 205 on the side wall of the locking hole 101 can cooperate to fix the base handle 2 .

[0038] During assembly, insert the bottom end of the base handle 2 into the card hole 101, and make the first positioning hole 102 correspond to the position of the limiting groove 205, then insert the first limiting pin 5 into the first positioning hole 102 and the limiting groove 205 to complete the connection between the base handle 2 and the automatic rebound cylinder 1, then place the steel grade insert 3 in the card slot 203, and ensure that the steel grade lettering 4 is facing upwards, and then insert the second limiting pin 6 into the second positioning hole 204 and the limiting hole to complete the connection between the steel grade insert 3 and the base handle 2.

[0039] When in use, the tooling is fixed on the processing platform, and the manipulator clamps the wheel hub and moves to the top of the tooling. The position on the wheel hub where the steel number needs to be stamped corresponds to the steel number engraving 4, and then the manipulator drives the wheel hub to be pressed down, so that the steel number engraving 4 squeezes the wheel hub, and then forms a steel number on the surface of the wheel hub. After completion, the manipulator drives the wheel hub to move upward, and the automatic rebound cylinder 1 rebounds, so that the steel number insert 3 returns to the initial position, completing a steel number stamping process.

[0040] The whole process saves human resources, reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves work efficiency, reduces the cost investment of the enterprise, and ensures the clarity and consistency of steel grades.

[0041] The above are only specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model; in the absence of conflicts, the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
