Figure 3 As shown. The lower frame 4 of the excavator is placed on the lower frame positioning tool 7. The crawler assembly part includes a truss 9, a truss dual manipulator 10, a truss guide rail 11 and a crawler assembly fixture 12. Specifically, a truss 9 is arranged above the crawler assembly workbench 2, a truss guide rail 11 is arranged on the truss 9, a truss dual manipulator 10 is slidably arranged on the truss guide rail 11, a servo motor 8 is arranged on the truss 9 to drive the truss dual manipulator 10 to slide, and a crawler assembly fixture 12 is connected to the end of the truss dual manipulator 10.
[0020] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the crawler assembly system is started, the lower frame 4 of the excavator runs to the crawler intelligent assembly area through the ground transmission mechanism, and the excavator model is identified when passing through the RFID radio frequency identification area, and the identified excavator model is uploaded to the PLC controller. The RFID radio frequency identification process does not affect the operation of the lower frame 4 of the excavator to the crawler intelligent assembly area. After the PLC controller recognizes that the lower frame 4 of the excavator is in place through the proximity switch sensing device, the crawler conveying mechanism 1 conveys the crawler placed on the crawler positioning tray 6 to the crawler assembly workbench 2 through the roller device. After the proximity switch sensing device on the crawler assembly workbench 2 recognizes that the crawler positioning tray 6 is in place, the tray locking mechanism 5 controls the cylinder action through the solenoid valve to lock the crawler high-precision positioning tray 6 on the crawler assembly workbench 2. After the PLC controller recognizes that the crawler positioning tray 6 is locked in place through the pressure sensor device, the crawler assembly workbench 2 starts to run. According to the excavator model identified by RFID, the excavator crawler is accurately positioned to the assembly position through the ground moving guide rail 3 and the six directions of ±X / ±Y / ±Z. When the PLC controller receives the positioning completion signal from the crawler assembly workbench 2, the truss dual manipulator 10 starts to run, and according to the excavator model identified by RFID, the crawler assembly fixture 12 is accurately positioned to the crawler clamping position through the movement of the six degrees of freedom directions of ±X / ±Y / ±Z. When the PLC controller receives the positioning completion signal from the truss dual manipulator 10, the crawler assembly fixture 12 begins to retract inward to the pneumatic gripper clamping position. After the PLC controller recognizes that the crawler assembly fixture 12 retracts inward into position through the proximity switch sensing device, the pneumatic gripper clamps the crawler. After the PLC controller recognizes that the pneumatic gripper is clamped in place through the magnetic induction switch device, the truss dual manipulator 10 starts to run, and according to the program in the system and the taught points, linear interpolation movement is performed to accurately assemble the crawler on the lower frame 4 of the excavator. When the PLC controller receives the assembly completion signal from the truss dual manipulator 10, the pneumatic gripper releases the crawler, and after the pneumatic gripper is released into place, the crawler assembly fixture 12 begins to open outward. After the PLC controller recognizes through the proximity switch sensing device that the track assembly fixture 12 is opened outward into position, the truss double manipulator 10 and the track assembly workbench 2 start running and return to the origin, the excavator lower frame 4 is released to enter the next assembly process, the pallet locking mechanism 5 is released, and the crawler conveyor mechanism 1 conveys the assembled crawler high-precision positioning pallet 6 on the crawler assembly workbench 2 to the crawler lifting area through the roller device, and the system enters the next crawler assembly cycle.
[0021] The utility model can realize the synchronous assembly of crawler tracks on both sides of the excavator through the double manipulators of the truss and the double workbenches for assembling crawler tracks on both sides during the intelligent assembly process of crawler tracks, thereby replacing manual work for assembling crawler tracks of the excavator, improving the efficiency and accuracy of crawler track assembly of the excavator, reducing the workload of workers on site, realizing efficient and high-precision crawler assembly, and solving the problem of low efficiency and poor accuracy of crawler track assembly of the excavator.

Specifically, it includes two crawler conveying mechanisms 1 arranged in parallel, a roller device is installed on the crawler conveying mechanism 1, and a crawler high-precision positioning tray 6 is transported by a three-phase asynchronous motor with rollers, and the three-phase asynchronous motor is controlled by a frequency converter. Four ground moving guide rails 3 are arranged vertically between the two crawler conveying mechanisms 1, and crawler assembly workbenches 2 parallel to each other are slidably arranged on the ground moving guide rails 3, and the crawler assembly workbench 2 is movably connected to the ground moving guide rails 3 through a slider. The crawler assembly workbench 2 is controlled by a servo motor and can be adjusted to the corresponding crawler assembly position according to the excavator model identified by RFID, and the number of single-side crawler assembly workbenches 2 that can be configured for various different models of excavators is two. The design of single-side double workbench can realize crawler assembly while retaining the original crawler manual assembly function. The crawler positioning trays 6 on the two crawler assembly workbenches 2 can be switched when the intelligent assembly system is running, so that one crawler assembly workbench 2 can be used to assemble the crawler while the other crawler assembly workbench 2 can be used to hoist the crawler at the same time, which greatly improves the crawler assembly efficiency.

Specifically, a truss 9 is arranged above the crawler assembly workbench 2, a truss guide rail 11 is arranged on the truss 9, and a truss dual manipulator 10 is slidingly arranged on the truss guide rail 11. The truss dual manipulator 10 is controlled by a servo motor connected to a lead screw in the six degrees of freedom directions of ±X / ±Y / ±Z, and the movement accuracy can reach within ±0.2mm. According to the different types of excavators identified by RFID, they move to the corresponding crawler assembly positions and can realize linear interpolation movement.
[0026] The truss 9 is provided with a servo motor 8 that drives the truss dual manipulator 10 to slide. The servo motor 8 is connected to the lead screw through a coupling to transmit motion. The end of the truss dual manipulator 10 is connected to a track assembly fixture 12, which is installed at the end of the Z axis of the truss dual manipulator 10. The tool gripper at the end of the track assembly fixture 12 is a pneumatic gripper, which can stably and reliably clamp and assemble the track. The track assembly fixture 12 controls the pneumatic gripper to retract inward and open outward by controlling the stepper motor connected to the lead screw through an electromagnetic valve, and detects whether the pneumatic gripper is retracted and opened in place through a magnetic induction switch.
[0027] The present invention uses the lower frame positioning tool 7 and the track assembly fixture 12 to accurately calibrate the lower frame and the track unfolding position to ensure the assembly accuracy of the track. The PLC is used as the main body, connected to the external input and output, and program is written to realize RFID identification, motion control of each servo axis, input detection of various sensors, and output execution of various pneumatic components.
