Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locomotive manufacturing and assembly, in particular to a process threaded component placement device and also to a locomotive brake disc assembly device. Background Art

[0002] The locomotive brake disc is a disc-shaped rotating body structure used for electric locomotive braking. It has a circle of mounting holes distributed in a circle for installing locking parts. The assembly of locking parts has relatively precise assembly requirements to ensure the practical effect and safety of the brake disc. At present, locking robots are often used to lock the threaded mounting parts placed in the assembly position on the brake disc. However, this semi-automatic assembly method has some technical problems, which are specifically manifested in: the previous and next processes are difficult to automatically coordinate and continuously perform automatic locking, resulting in limited automation and low overall efficiency; the working process of automatic locking is also prone to single-point assembly one by one. During the multiple assembly processes for the same brake disc, the automated structure is prone to accumulate working displacement errors, resulting in increasingly inaccurate subsequent assembly.

[0003] In addition, due to the special requirements of the brake disc assembly process, it is necessary to pre-install the mounting holes thereon during installation to ensure that the shape of the mounting holes meets the requirements during formal installation to ensure the accuracy of the assembly position and the size of the preload force. However, this pre-installation process cannot be automated at present, which greatly affects the assembly efficiency. This is mainly reflected in the lack of corresponding matching structural design, and the inability to integrate the process pre-installation in an automated manner.

[0004] In summary, the existing assembly process of locomotive brake discs, especially the part involving process pre-assembly, has the technical problem of being difficult to realize automated assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing assembly process of the locomotive brake disc, especially the technical problem that the part involving the pre-assembly process is difficult to realize the automated assembly.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a process threaded part placement device for the automated assembly of locomotive brake discs, comprising a platform portion located at the top and a support portion located below the platform portion, the platform portion being provided with a threaded part station for placing process threaded parts, the threaded part station comprising a bolt station, a nut station and a gasket station, the shapes of which correspond to the outer edge shapes of the end heads of process bolts, process nuts and process gaskets, respectively, and are used to place process bolts, process nuts and process gaskets for process pre-installation, respectively.

[0007] The utility model provides a process threaded component placement device for placing process pre-installed process threaded components. The structure of the utility model has a platform portion at the top, and three placement stations corresponding to the three parts of the process threaded components: bolts, nuts and washers are provided thereon. The shapes of the placement stations are adapted to the various outer edge shapes of the process bolts, process nuts and process washers, respectively, so as to achieve stable placement. The process threaded component placement device can realize the transit placement of the process threaded components in the automated assembly process of the locomotive brake disc, and because the process threaded components are placed in a fixed posture and position, they can adapt to the automatic acquisition and placement of automated assembly mechanisms such as manipulators. For example, when the process threaded components are installed, they can be automatically taken from the process threaded component placement device, and when the process threaded components need to be removed for formal assembly, the removed process threaded components can be re-placed and fixed on the process threaded component placement device in a preset manner. The design can effectively realize the integration of the process pre-installation process into the automated assembly of the locomotive brake disc in an automated manner.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the bolt station is a raised insert table structure, and a plug hole that matches the outer edge shape of the process bolt is provided at the top of the insert table structure, and the bolt head of the process bolt is inserted invertedly through the plug hole.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the platform part is fitted with a station plate structure at the position corresponding to the nut station and the gasket station. The nut station and the gasket station are both insertion grooves set on the station plate structure. The shapes of the insertion grooves correspond to the outer edge shapes of the nut station and the gasket station, respectively, and are used to insert and place process nuts and process gaskets. This design optimizes the structural design of the nut station and the gasket station, and realizes the placement of process nuts and gaskets through the structure of red paper grooves or holes on the plate structure. This structure is easy to process and reduces equipment costs.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the platform is provided with a plurality of bolt stations, nut stations and gasket stations, each of which is arranged in an array, and the arrangement of the arrays of the bolt stations, nut stations and gasket stations is consistent. This design optimizes the quantity design of the three pre-installation stations, and sets a plurality of three pre-installation stations distributed in a preset array, so that multiple process threaded parts can be placed at the same time, reducing the frequency of use of a single process threaded part, extending the service life of the process threaded part, reducing the replacement of the process threaded part, and further improving the continuity of the automated assembly.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the number of bolt stations, nut stations and gasket stations is consistent, and the number is consistent with the number of mounting holes on the brake disc to be assembled. Based on the above design, this design further optimizes the number of bolt stations, nut stations and gasket stations, and the number of the three is consistent with the number of mounting holes on the brake disc to be assembled, thereby achieving the use of a corresponding set of process threaded parts for each mounting hole. In addition to the above effect of improving the continuity of automated assembly, this design further simplifies the control logic of the manipulator-type mechanism for picking up and placing parts through the one-to-one correspondence between mounting holes and process threaded parts.

[0012] As a preferred solution, a lifting ring structure is provided at the edge of the platform part for lifting and transferring the process screw component placement device.

[0014] The automatic locking device comprises two sets of automatic locking components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the brake disc assembly platform, and is used for synchronously assembling two mounting holes on opposite sides of the brake disc to be assembled on the brake disc platform;

[0015] The loading manipulator device includes two groups of loading manipulators, which are respectively located on both sides of the brake disc assembly platform, and are used to clamp the threaded mounting parts to be installed, and place the threaded mounting parts into the mounting holes on the corresponding sides of the brake disc to be assembled, and supply the threaded mounting parts to be assembled to the automatic locking assembly on the corresponding side of the position;

[0016] A threaded mounting piece storage device, used to stack the threaded mounting pieces to be used in a preset array form and direction for the loading robot to pick up;

[0017] It also includes a process threaded component placement device as described in any of the above items, through which the process threaded component placement device is used to place and store the process threaded components for the loading robot device to take, or to place the process threaded components removed from the brake disc by the loading robot device. Since the process threaded component placement device has the above beneficial effects, the locomotive brake disc assembly equipment equipped with the process threaded component placement device should also have corresponding beneficial effects.
