DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

The experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The materials, reagents, etc. used in the following embodiments are all commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the utility model provides a solid tire intelligent automatic assembly machine, comprising a first material storage mechanism 1, a second material storage mechanism 2, a third material storage mechanism 3, a six-axis manipulator 5 and an automatic screw locking mechanism 9;

[0032] The first material storage mechanism 1 is used to store and place the first wheel hub 6, and the first wheel hub 6 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes;

[0033] The second storage mechanism 2 is used for storing and placing tire beads 7;

[0034] The third material storage mechanism 3 is used to store and place the second hub 8, and the second hub 8 is provided with a plurality of threaded through holes;

[0035] The six-axis manipulator 5 sequentially grasps a single first wheel hub 6, a tire bead 7 and a second wheel hub 8 and stacks them to form an assembly;

[0036] The automatic screw locking mechanism 9 grabs and drives the screw through the threaded through hole into the threaded hole to fix the assembly;

[0037] When in use, the six-axis manipulator 5 sequentially grabs a first wheel hub 6 on the first storage mechanism 1, a tire bead 7 on the second storage mechanism 2, and a second wheel hub 8 on the third storage mechanism 3, and stacks the three in sequence, so that the first wheel hub 6 and the second wheel hub 8 are located on both sides of the tire bead 7, and each threaded hole on the first wheel hub 6 corresponds to each threaded through hole on the second wheel hub 8, and then uses the automatic screw locking mechanism 9 to screw the screws into the threaded holes through each threaded through hole to fix the assembly, thereby completing the automatic assembly of the tire, avoiding the trouble of traditional manual assembly of the first wheel hub 6, the second wheel hub 8 and the tire bead 7 and subsequent screwing and locking, saving manpower, reducing the intensity of manual labor, and improving work efficiency;

[0038] The automatic screw locking mechanism 9 is a prior art, and reference may be made to the automatic screw locking machine, and the specific principle will not be described in detail herein.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the automatic assembly machine also includes a second support platform 4, on which a leveling mechanism 13 is provided, the leveling mechanism 13 includes a driving assembly 15 and at least three leveling wheels 131, each leveling wheel 131 includes a supporting plate 1312 and a leveling plate 1311 (preferably both are circular) arranged in parallel, the supporting plate 1312 and the leveling plate 1311 are connected to a connecting rod at the center, the supporting plate 1312 supports the assembly, the outer wall of the leveling plate 1311 abuts against the outer wall of the tire bead 7, and the driving assembly 15 drives at least one leveling wheel 131 to rotate;

[0040] Here, three leveling wheels 131 are used as an example for explanation. The three leveling wheels 131 are in an acute triangle shape. The support plates 1312 of the three leveling wheels 131 support the tire bead 7 (such as Figure 6 As shown), the driving component 15 includes a motor 152, a driving gear, a rotating rod 151 and a driven gear 153. Three rotating rods 151 are rotatably provided on the top surface of the second support platform 4. The top of the three rotating rods 151 is fixedly installed with a smoothing wheel 131, and the bottom ends of two of the rotating rods 151 pass through the top surface of the second support platform 4 and are fixedly installed with a driven gear 153. The output shaft of the motor 152 is fixedly connected to the driving gear, and the driving gear is meshed with the two driven gears 153. When the motor 152 is started, it can drive the two driven gears 153 to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving the two smoothing wheels 131 to rotate in the same direction. Since the assembly (tire) is placed on three support plates 1312, the smoothing plate 1311 is in contact with the outer surface of the tire bead 7, and the smoothing wheel 131 will rotate, thereby completing the flattening of the periphery of the tire to ensure that it is round and convenient for subsequent use.

[0041] On the basis of the above, if Figure 6 As shown, there are three leveling wheels 131, which are acute-angled isosceles triangles. The leveling mechanism 13 includes a second driving member 132. The output shaft of the second driving member 132 is fixedly connected to a slider. The top surface of the slider is rotatably connected to the leveling wheel 131 (the leveling wheel 131 is driven to rotate). The leveling wheel 131 is located on the center line between the other two leveling wheels 131. The second driving member 132 drives the leveling wheel 131 to move closer to or away from the other two leveling wheels 131 to level tire rims 7 of different sizes.

[0042] By setting a second driving member 132 (which can be set as a cylinder) and a slider, a smoothing wheel 131 is rotatably set on the top surface of the slider, and the other two smoothing wheels 131 are rotatably set on the second support platform 4. The second driving member 132 drives the slider to move, thereby driving the smoothing wheel 131 on the slider to move, thereby completing the distance adjustment from the smoothing wheel 131 to the other two smoothing wheels 131, so that the leveling work of tire rims 7 of different sizes can be completed, and the applicability is wider.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Fig. 9As shown, the automatic assembly machine also includes a clamping mechanism 12, which clamps the second hub 8 when the automatic screw locking mechanism 9 is working, so as to ensure the stability of the automatic screw locking mechanism 9 when working;

[0044] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 12 is arranged on the second support platform 4, and the clamping mechanism 12 includes a lifting component 121, a flip component 122 and a pressing plate 123. The output end of the lifting component 121 is connected to the flip component 122, and the output end of the flip component 122 is connected to the pressing plate 123. The flip component 122 adjusts the pressing plate 123 to a horizontal state or a vertical state. When the pressing plate 123 is in a vertical state, it is convenient to stack the first wheel hub 6, the tire bead 7 and the second wheel hub 8. When the pressing plate 123 is in a horizontal state, it is convenient to subsequently adjust the pressing plate 123 to move downward to press the assembly. The lifting component 121 adjusts the height position of the pressing plate 123, thereby completing the compaction of the stacked first wheel hub 6, the tire bead 7 and the second wheel hub 8, and ensuring the stability of the automatic screw locking mechanism 9 when working;

[0045] The pressing plate 123 may also be provided with an avoidance hole or an avoidance groove to prevent the pressing plate 123 from blocking the threaded through hole and affecting the automatic screw-tightening and fixing of the first hub 6 and the second hub 8 by the automatic screw-locking mechanism 9 .

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the first material storage mechanism 1, the second material storage mechanism 2 and the third material storage mechanism 3 all include a first support platform 101, a turntable 102 is rotatably provided on the first support platform 101, a plurality of material discharge areas are circumferentially distributed on the turntable 102, a plurality of first wheel hubs 6 or tire rims 7 or second wheel hubs 8 are stacked from bottom to top in the material discharge area, and the material discharge area is surrounded by a plurality of limit rods 103;

[0047] The first hub 6 or tire bead 7 or second hub 8 can be stacked in the unloading area (such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown), four unloading areas are taken as an example for explanation: each unloading area is formed by four limiting rods 103, and the first hub 6 or the tire bead 7 or the second hub 8 is limited by the limiting rods 103, so as to prevent the first hub 6 or the tire bead 7 or the second hub 8 from leaving the unloading area when the turntable 102 rotates. By setting the turntable 102 and setting a plurality of unloading areas on the turntable 102, synchronous loading and unloading operations can be performed.

[0048] Specifically, a plurality of long slots 104 are provided on the turntable 102, and the long slots 104 are located in the material discharge area. A first driving member 105 is provided on the first support platform 101, and an output shaft of the first driving member 105 is fixedly connected to a plurality of push rods 106. The first driving member 105 drives the push rods 106 to move upward through the long slots 104 to lift the stacked first wheel hub 6 or tire bead 7 or second wheel hub 8. The first driving member 105 can be set as a cylinder.

[0049] When the six-axis manipulator 5 grabs the top one of the stacked first wheel hub 6 or tire bead 7 or second wheel hub 8, in order to ensure that the stroke of the six-axis manipulator 5 for grabbing and placing is consistent each time, the first driving member 105 is adjusted to drive the push rod 106 to move upward, and the push rod 106 passes through the long slot 104 to lift the stacked first wheel hub 6 or tire bead 7 or second wheel hub 8 in the discharge area so that it can reach the height position for grabbing by the six-axis manipulator 5.

[0050] In addition, a visual shooting unit (not shown in the figure) can be added to the six-axis manipulator 5. The visual shooting unit signal is connected to the six-axis manipulator 5. The visual shooting unit identifies the threaded through holes and the threaded hole positions to ensure that when the second hub 8 is placed after the first hub 6, the threaded holes on the first hub 6 correspond to the threaded through holes on the second hub 8. In this way, when people or the robot stack the first hub 6 or the second hub 8 in the discharge area, there is no need to make the threaded holes of the first hubs 6 correspond to each other, nor is there any need to make the threaded through holes on the second hubs 8 correspond to each other.

[0051] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a clamping and transferring assembly 14 (including a clamping member and a three-axis driving member, both of which are relative to the prior art and will not be described in detail here) and a panel 10 for accommodating the assembly are provided on the second support platform 4. The height of the assembly is higher than that of the panel 10, so as to ensure that the pressing plate 123 of the pressing mechanism 12 can press the tire (assembly) without contacting the panel 10. A bottom plate 11 that moves in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the second support platform 4 is provided in the panel 10 (specifically, a third driving member 111 can be provided on the second support platform 4, and the third driving member 111 can be provided as a cylinder, and the bottom plate 11 is driven up and down by the cylinder). The clamping and transferring assembly 14 transfers the assembly with screws in the panel 10 to the leveling mechanism 13.

[0052] After the screws are inserted into the tire (assembly), the third driving member 111 is adjusted to drive the base plate 11 to move upward, and the base plate 11 lifts the assembled tire to separate it from the enclosure plate 10, thereby facilitating the subsequent six-axis manipulator 5 to grab the assembled tire and place it on the leveling mechanism 13 for leveling.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
