Technical Field

[0002] During vehicle operation, a heat exchange system needs to be set up to exchange heat for the battery in order to improve the efficiency of the battery cell operation. The heat exchange system includes cooling pipes and three-way connectors. Due to pipeline design requirements, a three-way connector is required to assemble and connect the pipes. Since the pipes are relatively complex, errors are prone to occur during the assembly process, resulting in errors in pipe connection, so the accuracy of the assembly process needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a tee assembly mechanism and a vehicle manufacturing device, which can improve the accuracy of the connection between the tee and the pipeline.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application provides a tee assembly mechanism, including a tee positioning seat, a pipe installation component, a first sensing component and a controller.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] In the production process of vehicle cooling pipes, the original assembly method relies on manual identification by the operators of this process. Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of tees of different specifications are connected to the cooling pipeline. The specifications of the tees cannot be quickly distinguished by the naked eye, so different colors can be manufactured according to the different specifications of the tees. Tees of the same color have the same specifications, and tees of different specifications are manufactured using raw materials of different colors, which increases their visual differences and improves the accuracy of human eye recognition. Exemplarily, four tees are sequentially connected to the cooling pipeline, wherein the first tee 101 is red, the second tee 102 is blue, the third tee 103 is green, and the fourth tee 104 is black. However, operators are prone to fatigue from long-term visual recognition, and the assembly error rate gradually increases with the increase of operation time.

[0034] Based on the above situation, an embodiment of the present application provides a three-way assembly mechanism. In the three-way assembly mechanism, a three-way positioning seat is provided to position the three-way piece to be assembled, thereby reducing the risk of the three-way piece moving or falling during the assembly process. The pipe installation component connects the pipe to be assembled to the port of the three-way piece to complete the assembly. The first sensing component can detect the color of the three-way on the three-way positioning seat, and convert the sensed color into a color signal for transmission. The controller can identify the color signal and control the operation of the pipe installation component according to the result of the identification. When it is identified that the current three-way piece is inconsistent with the pipe to be assembled, the pipe installation component can be controlled to stop running, thereby reducing the error rate of the three-way piece assembly. The above structure can effectively reduce the probability of manual assembly errors and improve assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a three-way assembly mechanism provided in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a three-way assembly mechanism provided in some other embodiments of the present application.

[0036] As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-way assembly mechanism 3, including a three-way positioning seat 301, a pipeline installation component 302, a first sensing component 303 and a controller 304. The three-way positioning seat 301 is used to accommodate the three-way component and limit the movement of the three-way component. The pipeline installation component 302 is arranged on one side of the three-way positioning seat 301, and is used to connect the pipeline to the three-way component. The first sensing component 303 is arranged toward the three-way positioning seat 301, and the first sensing component 303 is used to sense the color of the three-way component on the three-way positioning seat 301 and send a color signal. The controller 304 is electrically connected to the first sensing component 303 and the pipeline installation component 302 respectively, and the controller 304 can compare the color signal with the preset signal. When the comparison result is inconsistent, a color abnormality signal can be sent to the pipeline installation component 302 to control the pipeline installation component 302 to stop running.

[0037] The three-way positioning seat 301 is used to accurately accommodate and fix the three-way piece, and to limit the three-way piece from moving or falling during the assembly process. Exemplarily, the three-way positioning seat 301 includes a clamp or a positioning structure to ensure that the three-way piece is stably placed in a predetermined position.

[0038] The pipe installation component 302 connects the pipe to the port of the tee to complete the assembly task. The pipe installation component 302 is arranged on one side of the tee positioning seat 301 to facilitate docking with the port of the tee. Exemplarily, the pipe installation component 302 includes a mechanical arm or a clamp, and can achieve accurate installation of the pipe through other automated devices.

[0039] The first sensing component 303 is used to detect the color of the three-way piece on the three-way positioning seat 301 and convert the color information into a signal for transmission. The sensing end of the first sensing component 303 faces the three-way positioning seat 301 and can accurately capture the color information of the three-way piece.

[0040] The controller 304 receives the color signal sent by the first sensing component 303, compares it with the preset signal, and controls the operation of the pipe installation component 302 according to the comparison result. The controller 304 is electrically connected to the first sensing component 303 and the pipe installation component 302, respectively, to realize the reception of data and the sending of instructions. When the color signal is inconsistent with the preset signal, a color abnormality signal is sent to the pipe installation component 302 to stop its operation to prevent assembly errors.

[0041] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can effectively reduce the probability of manual assembly errors and improve assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 further includes an alarm device 305 , which is electrically connected to the controller 304 and issues an alarm according to the color abnormality signal.

[0043] The warning device 305 can warn according to the color abnormality signal sent by the controller 304, prompting the operator to replace the wrong three-way piece in time. Exemplarily, the warning device 305 includes a warning display screen, a warning light or a warning loudspeaker.

[0044] By adding the warning device 305, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 can more effectively reduce the assembly error rate and improve the assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the first sensing component 303 includes a camera device or a color sensor.

[0046] The camera captures the image of the tee, and the controller 304 processes and analyzes the image using an image recognition algorithm, thereby identifying the color of the tee. Optionally, in addition to color recognition, the camera can also be used to identify other features such as shape and size.

[0047] Color sensors identify the color of a tee by measuring the wavelength and intensity of light reflected from the surface of the tee. Color sensors usually have a fast response speed and can quickly obtain color information. Compared with camera devices, color sensors usually have lower hardware costs. Color sensors usually do not require complex software support and are easy to integrate into existing assembly mechanisms.

[0048] Different devices can be selected as the first sensing component 303 according to actual needs to improve the efficiency and correctness of the tee resolution and improve the accuracy of the tee and pipeline assembly.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pipe installation assembly 302 includes a base 306, a slide rail 307, a clamping device 308 and a drive motor 309. The slide rail 307 is provided on the base 306, and the clamping device 308 is used to clamp the pipeline. The clamping device 308 is provided on the slide rail 307 and can move along the slide rail 307. The drive motor 309 is electrically connected to the clamping device 308, and the drive motor 309 is used to drive the clamping device 308 to move along the slide rail 307 and move to the three-way positioning seat 301 to connect the pipeline with the three-way piece, and the drive motor 309 is electrically connected to the controller 304.

[0050] In the above structure, the base 306 provides a stable support platform for the slide rail 307 and the clamping device 308, etc., to improve the stability during the pipeline assembly process. It is usually made of strong and durable materials, such as steel or aluminum alloy, to withstand the weight of the drive motor 309 and the clamping device 308 and the vibration during operation.

[0051] The slide rail 307 is arranged between the clamping assembly and the tee positioning seat. The slide rail 307 is usually made of high-precision, low-friction materials, such as stainless steel or precision alloy, to reduce resistance and wear during movement. It is designed with precise guide grooves and limit devices to ensure that the clamping device 308 does not deviate from the predetermined path during movement.

[0052] The clamping device 308 can tightly clamp the end of the pipe, so as to facilitate alignment and connection with the port of the tee. Optionally, the clamping device 308 uses a mechanism with adjustable clamping width to adapt to pipes of different diameters and materials. A safety locking device is designed in the clamping device 308 to ensure that the clamping device 308 remains stable during movement and connection. The clamping part is usually made of a soft but durable material to reduce damage to the pipeline. Exemplarily, the surface of the clamping device 308 in contact with the pipeline can be provided with a rubber anti-slip layer to reduce displacement during pipeline assembly, while having a certain elasticity to reduce wear on the pipeline surface.

[0053] The driving motor 309 can drive the clamping assembly to move toward the tee, so as to drive the pipeline to move toward the tee and be installed to the tee, so as to realize the assembly of the tee and the pipeline. The driving motor 309 can adopt a high-performance, low-noise motor to ensure fast and stable movement. Optionally, an accurate control system is designed in the driving motor 309 to realize the accurate control of the moving speed and position of the clamping device 308. The driving motor 309 is electrically connected to the controller 304, receives the instruction of the controller 304 and performs the corresponding action, stops moving the clamping assembly when the color of the tee is wrong, and improves the accuracy of assembly.

[0054] Optionally, the electrical connection between the driving motor 309 and the controller 304 may be a radio signal connection or a cable connection.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 further includes a start button 310 and a stop button 311 , and the start button 310 and the stop button 311 are electrically connected to the drive motor 309 , respectively.

[0056] When the operator presses the start button 310, the drive motor 309 receives the start signal, starts working and drives the clamping device 308 to move along the slide rail 307, moving the pipeline to the three-way positioning seat 301 for connection. When the operator presses the stop button 311, the drive motor 309 receives the stop signal, stops working immediately, and the clamping device 308 stops moving. This allows the operator to interrupt the assembly process at any time when necessary to ensure safety or make necessary adjustments.

[0057] The operator can start or stop the assembly process at any time as needed, without waiting for the completion of the automated program. This improves the flexibility of assembly and enables the operator to better respond to various assembly requirements. In an emergency, the operator can quickly press the stop button 311 to interrupt the assembly process, thereby avoiding potential safety risks. By manually controlling the start and stop of the drive motor 309, the operator can more accurately control the connection process between the pipeline and the tee, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the controller 304 is electrically connected to the start button 310 , and the controller 304 can control the start button 310 to be disconnected from the drive motor 309 .

[0059] In the above technical solution, the control authority of the controller 304 is higher than the control authority of the start button 310. The controller 304 can accurately control the parameters such as the start, stop and moving speed of the drive motor 309 to ensure the accuracy and stability of the assembly process. Through the connection with the first sensing component 303, the controller 304 can receive feedback information such as color abnormality signals in real time and make corrections as needed. In an emergency, the controller 304 can quickly cut off the connection between the start button 310 and the drive motor 309 to ensure the safety of the operator and the equipment. At this time, even if the start button 310 is pressed manually, it is invalid, which improves the monitoring and auxiliary modification of the manual operation process. In addition, the controller 304 can be directly integrated with the existing assembly mechanism without large-scale transformation of the original system.

[0060] In the above structure, the controller 304 can control the signal of the start button 310. In the case of manual operation errors, corrections can be made based on the color abnormality signal to reduce the error rate of installation.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 also includes a material box 312 and a prompt light 313. There are multiple material boxes 312, and each material box 312 is correspondingly provided with a prompt light 313. The prompt light 313 is electrically connected to the controller 304.

[0062] There are multiple material boxes 312, and the same type of tee pieces are placed in each material box 312. The same type of tee pieces means the same color and the same specification. Different tees can be placed in different material boxes 312 in turn.

[0063] Each material box 312 is provided with a corresponding indicator light 313, which is electrically connected to the controller 304. When the controller 304 detects that a specific type of tee piece needs to be assembled, it guides the operator by lighting up the indicator light 313 on the corresponding material box 312. This intuitive visual feedback greatly reduces the possibility of operating errors. The indicator light 313 indicates which tee piece in the material box 312 the operator should select by color (such as red, green, etc.) or flashing mode. This intuitive guidance method allows the operator to quickly make the right choice even in a complex or low-light environment.

[0064] Since the indicator light 313 is directly connected to the controller 304, it can update the indication information in real time according to the assembly requirements. This means that the operator does not need to remember complicated assembly steps or specification requirements, but only needs to operate according to the instructions of the indicator light 313, thereby reducing the risk of assembly errors.

[0065] The presence of the prompt light 313 enables the operator to locate the required tee piece more quickly, reducing the time for searching and confirming, which not only improves the assembly speed, but also makes the entire assembly process smoother and more efficient.

[0066] The above technical solution further improves the accuracy of assembling the pipeline and the tee.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 further includes a second sensing component 314, which is disposed on the side of the material box 312 facing the three-way positioning seat 301, and is electrically connected to the controller 304. The second sensing component 314 is used to sense the movement of the three-way component in the corresponding material box 312. Exemplarily, the second sensing component 314 is a light sensing strip.

[0068] The second sensing component 314 is arranged on the side of the material box 312 facing the three-way positioning seat 301, and can monitor the movement of the three-way parts in the corresponding material box 312 in real time. Whenever the operator takes out the three-way parts from the material box 312, the second sensing component 314 can immediately sense this action and can determine that the corresponding three-way parts in the material box 312 are taken out. Through the electrical connection with the controller 304, the second sensing component 314 can transmit the monitored three-way parts information to the controller 304. The controller 304 accurately compares this information according to the preset assembly requirements to determine whether the three-way parts currently taken out are consistent with the target three-way parts. In the case of inconsistent comparison results, the controller 304 can immediately start the warning device 305 (such as a sound alarm, flashing lights, etc.) to remind the operator. At the same time, the controller 304 can also directly control the drive motor 309 to stop running, thereby preventing the wrong assembly process from continuing.

[0069] Since the second sensing component 314 can monitor and accurately compare the information of the tee in real time, it can avoid the operator's misjudgment and misoperation to a large extent, thereby improving the accuracy of assembly.

[0070] In the above structure, by setting the second sensing component 314, not only the accuracy and efficiency of assembly are improved, but also the intelligence and automation level of the system are enhanced, providing strong support for various assembly tasks with high precision, large batches and high safety requirements.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the three-way positioning seat 301 includes a base and a pressure plate arranged relatively to each other, the surface of the base facing the pressure plate is concave to form a first recess, and the surface of the pressure plate facing the base is concave to form a second recess, the first recess and the second recess are interconnected to form a accommodating cavity for accommodating the three-way piece, and the accommodating cavity matches the shape of the three-way piece.

[0072] The three-way positioning seat 301 is composed of a base and a pressing plate arranged opposite to each other. The base and the pressing plate respectively have concave surfaces facing each other, which form a first recess and a second recess respectively. When the two are combined, they form a complete accommodating cavity for accurately accommodating and positioning the three-way piece. The first recess and the second recess are interconnected, and together constitute an accommodating cavity that accurately matches the shape of the three-way piece. This accommodating cavity not only provides a stable supporting platform for the three-way piece, but also limits the displacement of the three-way piece during the assembly process through its shape and size. As a supporting structure, the base can withstand the weight of the three-way piece and the pressure generated during the assembly process. The pressing plate clamps the three-way piece by applying pressure to ensure that it will not loosen or shift during the assembly process.

[0073] The precise matching of the accommodating cavity and the tee shape ensures the accuracy of assembly. The operator can easily place the tee into the accommodating cavity and be confident that it has been correctly placed. This reduces errors and uncertainties in the assembly process. The design of the tee positioning seat 301 simplifies the assembly process, allowing the operator to complete the assembly task faster. Because the tee is stably positioned and fixed, the operator can connect pipes and other components faster, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0074] By adjusting the shape and size of the base and the first and second recesses in the pressure plate, the three-way positioning seat 301 can adapt to three-way pieces of different types and specifications, which makes the three-way positioning seat 301 have a wide range of applicability and can meet various assembly requirements.

[0075] In the above structure, the design of the three-way positioning seat 301 improves the stability and accuracy of assembly by accurately matching the shape of the three-way piece, providing stable support and clamping, and limiting displacement, etc. This not only simplifies the assembly process, but also improves the overall assembly efficiency and quality.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the three-way positioning seat 301 further includes a downward pressing cylinder 315 , which is connected to the pressing plate to move the pressing plate toward the base, and the downward pressing cylinder 315 is electrically connected to the controller 304 .

[0077] Exemplarily, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 also includes a support frame, which is arranged on the base 306, and a downward pressure cylinder is arranged on the support frame. The downward pressure cylinder 315 is connected to the pressing plate, and through the telescopic movement of its piston rod, the pressing plate can be driven to move toward the base, so as to apply pressure to the three-way piece and clamp it. The automatic downward pressure of the pressing plate does not require manual operation, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0078] The pressing cylinder 315 is electrically connected to the controller 304, and the controller 304 can accurately control the movement speed and force of the pressing cylinder 315. According to the size, material and assembly requirements of the tee, the controller 304 can adjust the parameters of the pressing cylinder 315 to ensure that the pressing plate applies appropriate pressure to the tee, which will not damage the tee and ensure its stable fixation.

[0079] By introducing the pressing cylinder 315 and the controller 304, the assembly process of the three-way positioning seat 301 is highly automated. The operator only needs to put the three-way piece into the accommodating cavity, and the controller 304 can control the pressing cylinder 315 to automatically complete the pressing and clamping action of the pressing plate without manual intervention.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, the three-way assembly mechanism 3 includes a three-way positioning seat 301, a pipeline installation component 302, a first sensing component 303 and a controller 304. The three-way positioning seat 301 is used to accommodate the three-way member and limit the movement of the three-way member, and the pipeline installation component 302 is arranged on one side of the three-way positioning seat 301, and is used to connect the pipeline with the three-way member. The first sensing component 303 is arranged toward the three-way positioning seat 301, and the first sensing component 303 is used to sense the color of the three-way member on the three-way positioning seat 301 and send a color signal. The controller 304 is electrically connected to the first sensing component 303 and the pipeline installation component 302, respectively, and the controller 304 can compare the color signal with the preset signal. When the comparison result is inconsistent, a color abnormality signal can be sent to the pipeline installation component 302 to control the pipeline installation component 302 to stop running. The three-way assembly mechanism 3 also includes an alarm device 305, which is electrically connected to the controller 304 and warns according to the color abnormality signal. The first sensing component 303 includes a color sensor. The tee assembly mechanism 3 also includes a start button 310 and a stop button 311, and the start button 310 and the stop button 311 are electrically connected to the drive motor 309 respectively. The controller 304 is electrically connected to the start button 310, and the controller 304 can control the start button 310 to disconnect from the drive motor 309. The tee assembly mechanism 3 also includes a material box 312 and a prompt light 313. There are multiple material boxes 312, and each material box 312 is correspondingly provided with a prompt light 313, and the prompt light 313 is electrically connected to the controller 304. The tee assembly mechanism 3 also includes a second sensing component 314, which is arranged on the side of the material box 312 facing the tee positioning seat 301, and the second sensing component 314 is electrically connected to the controller 304, and the second sensing component 314 is used to sense the movement of the tee in the corresponding material box 312.

[0081] The embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle manufacturing equipment, which includes the three-way assembly mechanism 3 in the above embodiment. The three-way assembly mechanism 3 is used to install the three-way parts in the vehicle cooling pipeline. By setting the three-way positioning seat 301, the three-way parts to be assembled are positioned to reduce the risk of the three-way parts moving or falling during the assembly process. The pipe installation component 302 connects the pipe to be assembled with the port of the three-way part to complete the assembly. The first sensing component 303 can detect the color of the three-way on the three-way positioning seat 301, and convert the sensed color into a color signal for transmission. The controller 304 can identify the color signal and control the operation of the pipe installation component 302 according to the result of the identification. When it is identified that the current three-way part is inconsistent with the pipe to be assembled, the pipe installation component 302 can be controlled to stop running, thereby reducing the error rate of the three-way assembly. The above structure can effectively reduce the error probability of manually assembling three-way parts and improve assembly efficiency and accuracy.
