Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile anti-collision beam production, and particularly relates to a device for laying composite materials of an anti-collision beam. Background Art
[0002] The anti-collision beam is a relatively key structural part of an automobile, generally including a beam body and two energy-absorbing boxes arranged at both ends of the back surface of the beam body, and the back surface of the energy-absorbing box is a connecting plate. The anti-collision beam plays an important role in the passive safety performance of the automobile. The traditional automobile anti-collision beam has the defect of large weight, which does not conform to the development direction of vehicle body lightweight. In order to reduce the weight of the anti-collision beam itself, metal parts with lighter mass can be used, but the mechanical strength of the anti-collision beam is reduced, and the collision requirements of the anti-collision beam cannot be met. In order to improve the mechanical strength of the anti-collision beam, a composite material layer is added to the surface of the collision beam in the prior art.
[0003] For example, the prior art CN 112141034 B proposes an anti-collision beam for a vehicle and a method for manufacturing the anti-collision beam. Both the outer tube beam and the inner tube beam of the anti-collision beam are formed by laying multiple carbon fiber plies and infiltrating resin, and the carbon fiber plies are composite material layers; for another example, the prior art CN 110525366 A proposes a carbon fiber composite anti-collision beam and a preparation method. The carbon fiber composite anti-collision beam includes an anti-collision rod, and the anti-collision rod is formed by laminating and adhesively bonding an inner lining of the anti-collision rod and a lower lining of the anti-collision rod. Its cross-sectional shape is a "day"-shaped frame, and the "day"-shaped frame is covered with an anti-collision rod shell, and the anti-collision rod shell is formed by laying or winding fiber cloth on the outside of the "day"-shaped frame formed by laminating the inner lining of the anti-collision rod and the lower lining of the anti-collision rod.
[0004] At present, there are already automatic fiber placement devices for composite materials in the prior art, but they are not applied to the production of anti-collision beams, and the existing automatic fiber placement devices have relatively complex structures and high costs. Therefore, during the production of anti-collision beams, manual laying is often used, which has a large workload and low efficiency.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a composite material laying device for an anti-collision beam includes a workbench 1, a composite material supply device 2, a fiber bundle laying mechanism 3, a fiber bundle cutting mechanism 6 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The composite material supply device 2 is arranged on the top surface of the workbench 1 and has a fiber bundle outlet 21 for exporting the fiber bundle 13. The composite material supply device 2 is electrically connected to the controller. The composite material supply device 2 is used to provide a fiber bundle 13 based on a composite material so that the fiber bundle 13 can be laid on the surface of the anti-collision beam 12 later. The composite material supply device 2 is a prior art, and its specific structure is not described in detail in this specification.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-collision beam 12 generally includes a beam body 121 and two energy absorption boxes 122 arranged at both ends of the back of the beam body 121, and the back of the energy absorption box 122 is a connecting plate 123. When laying the composite material, it is only necessary to lay the beam body 121 horizontally, fix the two energy absorption boxes 122, and then lay the fiber bundle 13 on the front of the beam body 121.
[0043] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the fiber bundle laying mechanism 3 includes an electric rotating table 31 and at least two anti-collision beam fixing components 32. The electric rotating table 31 is arranged on the workbench 1 and is arranged opposite to the fiber bundle outlet 21 of the composite material supply device 2. At least two anti-collision beam fixing components 32 are evenly arranged on the top surface of the electric rotating table 31. A guide cylinder 34 is arranged between two adjacent anti-collision beam fixing components 32 to play a role in smooth transition.
[0044] The anti-collision beam fixing assembly 32 includes two anti-collision beam fixing devices 33 respectively used to clamp the two connecting plates 123 of the anti-collision beam. The electric rotating platform 31 and the anti-collision beam fixing devices 33 are both electrically connected to the controller. In this embodiment, four anti-collision beam fixing assemblies 32 are arranged on the electric rotating platform 31, and there are a total of eight anti-collision beam fixing devices 33, which can fix four anti-collision beams 12 at the same time. There are a total of four guide cylinders 34, which are evenly arranged.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the anti-collision beam fixer 33 includes a slot body 331 and a first electrically-controlled telescopic rod 332. An opening 333 is provided on one side of the slot body 331 for inserting the anti-collision beam energy absorption box 122. The size of the opening 333 is smaller than the size of the anti-collision beam connecting plate 123. The first electrically-controlled telescopic rod 332 is arranged in the slot body 331, with its telescopic end facing the opening 333, and a first clamping plate 334 is provided. The first electrically-controlled telescopic rod 332 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0046] When the anti-collision beam 12 is fixed, the two energy absorption boxes 122 at both ends of the back of the anti-collision beam 12 are first inserted into the two anti-collision beam fixer openings 333 of the same anti-collision beam fixing assembly 32, and then the controller controls the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 332 to extend and tighten the two connecting plates 123, so that the anti-collision beam 12 can be fixed. When the anti-collision beam 12 needs to be taken out, the controller controls the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 332 to contract, so that the anti-collision beam 12 can be released, and the anti-collision beam 12 can be taken out.
[0047] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a fiber bundle holder 4 for clamping the end of the fiber bundle is provided on the electric rotating table 31, and the fiber bundle holder 4 is electrically connected to the controller. Specifically, the fiber bundle holder 4 is provided on one of the guide cylinders 34, and a groove 341 for the fiber bundle 13 to pass through is provided on the top surface of the guide cylinder 34, and the fiber bundle holder 4 includes a second electrically controlled telescopic rod 41 and a second clamping plate 42, and the second clamping plate 42 is located in the groove 341 and connected to the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 41, and the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 41 is installed in the guide cylinder 34 and electrically connected to the controller.
[0048] When the fiber bundle 13 is fixed, the controller controls the electric rotating table 31 to reset to the initial state. At this time, the relative position between the fiber bundle holder 4 and the composite material supply device 2 is fixed, and the end of the fiber bundle is pulled into the fiber bundle holder 4. Then the controller controls the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 41 to extend, and the second clamping plate 42 presses the end of the fiber bundle to fix the fiber bundle 13.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the electric rotating table 31 rotates to drive the fiber bundle 13 to be wound on the anti-collision beam 12 fixed on its top surface. When the fiber bundle 13 is wound, it crosses the circumferential surface of the guide cylinder 34. Through the transition effect of the guide cylinder 34, the edge of the anti-collision beam 12 is prevented from damaging the fiber bundle 13. When the electric rotating table 31 rotates, the controller simultaneously controls the composite material supply device 2 to work and continuously supply the fiber bundle.
[0050] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown, a height adjuster 5 for adjusting the winding height of the fiber bundle 13 is provided on the workbench 1, and the height adjuster 5 is electrically connected to the controller. Specifically, the height adjuster 5 is located between the composite material supply device 2 and the electric rotating table 31, and includes an electric lifting rod 51 and a fixed pulley 52 for the fiber bundle 13 to cross, the bottom end of the electric lifting rod 51 is connected to the workbench 1, the top end is connected to the fixed pulley 52, and the electric lifting rod 51 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0051] When the height adjuster 5 is working, the controller controls the electric lifting rod 51 to rise or fall to a certain height at a fixed time, thereby driving the fixed pulley 52 and the fiber bundle 13 to rise and fall, so that the fiber bundle 13 can be wound at different heights on the front of the anti-collision beam 12, and then cover the entire front area.
[0052] like Figure 1 , 8 As shown in Figure 10, the fiber bundle cutting mechanism 6 includes a fixing frame 61, a tightening assembly for tightening the two ends of the front side of the anti-collision beam, and a cutting assembly for cutting off the excess fiber bundles 13 at both ends of the anti-collision beam. The fixing frame 61 is set on the workbench 1 and is located on one side of the electric rotating table 31. The tightening assembly and the cutting assembly are both installed on the fixing frame 61, and the tightening assembly and the cutting assembly are both electrically connected to the controller.
[0053] Specifically, the cutting assembly includes a knife holder 62, two cutting knives 63 disposed at both ends of the knife holder 62, and a third electrically controlled telescopic rod 64 for driving the knife holder 62 to move back and forth, one end of the third electrically controlled telescopic rod 64 is connected to the knife holder 62, and the other end is connected to the fixed frame 61, and the third electrically controlled telescopic rod 64 is electrically connected to the controller. In addition, the fixed frame 61 is also provided with two guide rails 611, and the two ends of the knife holder 62 are respectively slidably connected to the two guide rails 611, which is conducive to improving the operating stability of the knife holder 62 and the cutting knives 63.
[0054] When the cutting assembly is working, the controller first controls the third electrically controlled telescopic rod 64 to extend, pushing the knife holder 62 and the two cutting knives 63 forward to perform the cutting action, and then controls the third electrically controlled telescopic rod 64 to retract, driving the knife holder 62 and the two cutting knives 63 to reset.
[0055] The tightening assembly includes a tightening block 65 and a fourth electrically-controlled telescopic rod 66. One end of the fourth electrically-controlled telescopic rod is connected to the fixed frame 61, and the other end is movably penetrated by a knife holder 62 and connected to the tightening block 65. Both ends of the tightening block 65 are movably connected to two cutting knives 63 respectively, and the fourth electrically-controlled telescopic rod 66 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0056] When the tightening assembly is working, the controller first controls the fourth electrically-controlled telescopic rod 66 to extend, pushing the tightening block 65 forward to perform the tightening action, and then controls the fourth electrically-controlled telescopic rod 66 to contract, driving the tightening block 65 to reset.
[0057] When the fiber bundle cutting mechanism 6 is working, the controller first controls the tightening component to perform the tightening action to tighten the two ends of the anti-collision beam 12, and then controls the cutting component to perform the cutting action to cut the excess material at both ends of the anti-collision beam 12. In this way, after cutting, there will be no material warping at both ends of the anti-collision beam 12, thereby improving the yield rate.
[0058] The utility model can automatically lay composite materials on the surface of the anti-collision beam 12, avoids manual laying of composite materials, and can effectively reduce the workload of the staff. During operation, first fix the four anti-collision beams 12 in the four anti-collision beam fixing components 32 on the electric rotating table 31, then, the fiber bundle 13 derived from the composite material supply device 2 is passed over the height adjuster 5, and the end of the fiber bundle 13 is fixed on the fiber bundle fixer 4, then, start the electric rotating table 31 and the composite material supply device 2, the electric rotating table 31 drives the fiber bundle 13 to be wound on the front of the anti-collision beam 12 by rotating, and the height adjuster 5 adjusts the winding height during the winding process of the fiber bundle 13, so that the fiber bundle 13 is wound and laid on the front of the anti-collision beam 12 from top to bottom or from bottom to top. When the fiber bundle 13 is wound, the tightening component is started to tighten the anti-collision beam 12, and the excess material at both ends of the anti-collision beam 12 is cut off through the reciprocating movement of the cutting component; then, the electric rotating table 31 is rotated to a set angle, and the next anti-collision beam 12 is aligned with the tightening component and the cutting component, and the operations are performed in sequence to complete the cutting of the excess material of all anti-collision beams 12; finally, the processed anti-collision beam 12 can be taken out.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] like Figure 11-13 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the composite material laying device for anti-collision beams of this embodiment further includes a traction manipulator 7 for automatically traction of the fiber bundle end to the fiber bundle holder 4 and a handling manipulator 8 for transporting the anti-collision beam 12 to be processed from the loading conveyor belt 9 to the anti-collision beam fixing assembly 32 and transporting the processed anti-collision beam 12 from the anti-collision beam fixing assembly 32 to the unloading conveyor belt 10, and the traction manipulator 7 and the handling manipulator 8 are both electrically connected to the controller. The traction manipulator 7 is also used to automatically remove the fiber bundle material remaining on the fiber bundle holder 4 after the anti-collision beam 12 is removed. This arrangement can realize fully automatic production, avoid manual operation, effectively reduce manpower requirements, and have higher production efficiency.
[0061] The pulling manipulator 7 can adopt different structures, as long as it meets the above-mentioned functions of pulling the fiber bundle 13 and removing the residual fiber bundle 13. For example, in this embodiment, the pulling manipulator 7 is located on one side of the height adjuster 5, and includes a first base 71, a first electrically controlled lifting arm 72, a first rotating motor 73, a first electrically controlled telescopic arm 74, a flip arm 75, a flip motor 76, a second rotating motor 78, a first electrically controlled clamp 79 and a camera 710. The first base 71 is installed on the workbench 1, the bottom end of the first electrically controlled lifting arm 72 is connected to the first base 71, and the top end is connected to one end of the first electrically controlled telescopic arm 74 through the first rotating motor 73. The other end of the first electrically controlled telescopic arm 74 is provided with an articulated seat 77, which is hinged to the flip arm 75 through a flip shaft, and the flip motor 76 is fixedly installed on the articulated seat 77 and connected to the flip shaft to drive the flip arm 75 to swing up and down. One end of the flip arm 75 away from the hinge seat 77 is connected to the first electric control clamp 79 through the second rotating motor 78, and the camera 710 is installed on the first electric control clamp 79. The first electric control lifting arm 72, the first rotating motor 73, the first electric control telescopic arm 74, the flip motor 76, the second rotating motor 78, the first electric control clamp 79 and the camera 710 are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0062] During traction operation, the controller obtains the position of the fiber bundle end and the fiber bundle holder 4 through the camera 710, and calculates the moving path of the first electrically-controlled clamp 79. By controlling the first electrically-controlled lifting arm 72, the first rotating motor 73, the first electrically-controlled telescopic arm 74, the flipping motor 76, and the second rotating motor 78, it has multiple degrees of freedom, so that the first electrically-controlled clamp 79 can be moved to any position and adjusted to any angle, thereby realizing the traction operation of the first electrically-controlled clamp 79 on the fiber bundle 13.
[0063] In addition, after the operation is completed, the controller obtains the position information of the residual fiber bundle 13 on the fiber bundle holder 4 through the camera 710, and calculates the moving path of the first electrically-controlled clamp 79, controls the first electrically-controlled clamp 79 to move to the set position, clamps the residual fiber bundle 13 and takes it away, so as to remove the residual fiber bundle 13 on the fiber bundle holder 4.
[0064] Among them, when the electric rotating table 31 is in the initial position, the position of the fiber bundle holder 4 is fixed. After cutting, the end of the fiber bundle is generally relatively close to the fiber bundle cutting mechanism 6. Therefore, in the initial state, the fiber bundle holder 4 should be set on the side close to the fiber bundle cutting mechanism 6 to reduce the traction distance.
[0065] The first electrically-controlled clamp 79 can adopt different structures as long as it can achieve clamping of the fiber bundle 13. For example, in this embodiment, the first electrically-controlled clamp 79 includes a shell, a drive motor and two clamping blocks.

[0066] The loading conveyor belt 9 and the unloading conveyor belt 10 are both located on one side of the workbench 1 and on the same straight line, and the handling robot 8 is located between the loading conveyor belt 9 and the unloading conveyor belt 10. When loading, the handling robot 8 first clamps the anti-collision beam 12 on the loading conveyor belt 9; then, it rotates 90 degrees clockwise to face the electric rotating table 31; then, the anti-collision beam 12 is placed on the anti-collision beam fixing component 32 on the electric rotating table 31; then, the controller controls the electric rotating table 31 to rotate 90 degrees, and the next anti-collision beam fixing component 32 faces the handling robot 8, then, the handling robot 8 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, and continues to clamp the anti-collision beam 12 on the loading conveyor belt 9, and operates in sequence until the four anti-collision beams 12 are fixed on the electric rotating table 31. When unloading, the operation of the handling robot 8 and the electric rotating table 31 is similar.
[0067] Among them, the handling robot 8 can adopt different structures, as long as it meets the above-mentioned handling function. For example, in this embodiment, the handling robot 8 includes a second base 81, a second electrically controlled lifting arm 82, a third rotating motor 83, a second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84 and a second electrically controlled clamp 85. An extension plate 11 is provided on one side of the workbench 1, and the second base 81 is fixedly mounted on the extension plate 11. The bottom end of the second electrically controlled lifting arm 82 is connected to the second base 81, and the top end is connected to one end of the second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84 through the third rotating motor 83, and the other end of the second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84 is connected to the second electrically controlled clamp 85. The second electrically controlled lifting arm 82, the third rotating motor 83, the second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84 and the second electrically controlled clamp 85 are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0068] During the transporting operation, the controller controls the second electrically-controlled lifting arm 82 , the third rotating motor 83 , and the second electrically-controlled telescopic arm 84 , so that the second electrically-controlled clamp 85 can be moved to any position, thereby enabling the second electrically-controlled clamp 85 to transport the anti-collision beam 12 .
[0069] The second electrically controlled clamp 85 can adopt different structures as long as it can achieve the clamping of the anti-collision beam 12. For example, in this embodiment, the second electrically controlled clamp 85 includes a concave groove block, a movable clamp plate and a screw motor. The concave groove block is connected to the second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84, and its notch is set downward. The movable clamp plate is slidably installed in the concave groove block. The screw motor is installed on the concave groove block, and its screw rod penetrates into the concave groove block and is threadedly connected with the movable clamp plate. The screw rod of the screw motor is set parallel to the second electrically controlled telescopic arm 84. When the second electrically controlled clamp 85 is working, the screw motor drives the movable clamp plate to move and cooperate with the side wall of the concave groove block, thereby achieving the clamping and releasing functions of the anti-collision beam 12.
[0070] Compared with the existing automatic wire laying device for composite materials, the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and high efficiency, and is applied to the production of anti-collision beams 12, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of the anti-collision beams 12.
