[0035] In some embodiments, it further includes: a product fixing tooling: customized according to the non-standard base of the high-pressure casing 19 to ensure that the product will not fall off the rotary table 2 due to rotation during automatic force limitation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the product fixing tooling includes positioning screws 4 and lock washers 5. The positioning screws 4 are arranged in through holes opened at the edge position of the rotary table 2, and the lock washers 5 are sleeved on the upper ends of the positioning screws 4;

[0039] Vertical driving mechanism: The vertical driving mechanism is arranged on the equipment base 1 and is used to drive the horizontal driving mechanism to move in the vertical direction; thereby realizing the precise movement and positioning of the tightening gun 13 along the vertical direction of the casing.

[0040] In some embodiments, the vertical driving mechanism includes a lead screw, a vertical guide rail 6, and a slide plate 7. The lower end of the vertical guide rail 6 is connected to the equipment base 1, and a second servo motor 9 is arranged at the upper end of the vertical guide rail 6. The second servo motor 9 drives the vertically arranged lead screw to rotate through a pulley group. The slide plate 7 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rail 6, and a lead screw nut arranged on the slide plate 7 is sleeved on the lead screw. The rotation of the lead screw drives the slide plate 7 to move in the vertical direction under the limitation of the vertical guide rail 6.

[0041] Specifically, vertical chutes are arranged on both sides of the vertical guide rail 6, and sliders 8 are arranged at both ends of the slide plate 7. The sliders 8 are coupled with the chutes, thereby realizing the limitation of the slide plate 7 by the vertical chutes; the lead screw can be vertically arranged inside the vertical guide rail 6, and the lead screw can pass through the lead screw nut connected to the slider 8 in the chute.

[0044] Specifically, the fixing plate 12 is provided with a groove coupled with the horizontal guide rail 11 and is slidably connected to the horizontal guide rail 11 through the groove.

[0045] Tightening gun 13: The tightening gun 13 is horizontally arranged on the horizontal driving mechanism, and realizes precise control during the tightening process through built-in torque sensors and angle sensors, and records and feeds back important parameters during this process.

[0046] Specifically, the gun head of the tightening gun 13 is equipped with a socket, and the tightening of the screw is realized by rotating the gun head. In addition, the tightening gun 13 is built-in with a torque sensor and an angle sensor to realize precise control and data feedback recording of the assembly torque and assembly position of the screw.

[0047] In some embodiments, the tightening gun 13 is arranged on the fixing plate 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, it further includes: a photoelectric proximity switch 14. The photoelectric proximity switch 14 is arranged on the equipment base 1 and is located below the turntable 2 and is electrically connected to the control system. The photoelectric proximity switch 14 includes a laser sensor;

[0049] The lower end of the turntable 2 is provided with a positioning boss 15. When the lower end surface of the positioning boss 15 faces the laser emitting head of the photoelectric proximity switch 14, the turntable 2 is in the assembly zero position. After each rotation of the turntable 2, when the positioning boss 15 returns directly above the laser emitting head of the photoelectric proximity switch 14 again, it can be judged that the turntable 2 has rotated a complete circle and returned to the assembly zero position, thus ensuring that the screws for a complete circle are tightened.

[0054] PLC counting function: Judge the number of products by recording the number of times the equipment runs through the complete process.

[0055] In some embodiments, in the automatic tightening and torque measurement device for the high-pressure casing 19 screws during the assembly process of the aero-engine, to ensure product safety, a safety system is embedded in its control system for monitoring. The safety system includes:

[0058] Specifically, through the control system and the safety system, the control and data transmission of the tightening gun 13, daily operation control, alarm prompt, accident event query, equipment parameter debugging, and input / output functions of parameter data are realized.

[0059] In some embodiments, the equipment base 1 is arranged on the control cabinet 17, and a plurality of pulleys 18 are provided at the lower end of the control cabinet 17.

[0060] The method for automatically tightening and torque measuring the high-pressure casing 19 screws by using the automatic tightening and torque measuring device for the high-pressure casing 19 screws during the aero-engine assembly process provided by the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0061] Step 1) Fix the high-pressure casing 19 on the turntable 2 and set the assembly zero point;

[0063] In some embodiments, the step 2) includes:

[0064] Pre-assemble the positioning screw 4 and the lock washer 5 on the high-pressure casing 19 and install and position them on the turntable 2. Then, clamp and fix them using the positioning screw 4 and the lock washer 5, close the safety door and start the equipment;

[0065] Rotate the turntable 2 to make the first screw tightening station of the first row of the high-pressure casing 19 stay at the assembly zero position;

[0066] Specifically, when installing and positioning the high-pressure casing 19, make the first screw tightening station of the first row thereof be directly above the positioning boss 15. In this way, the turntable 2 can be rotated to make the positioning boss 15 be directly above the photoelectric proximity switch 14, so that the first screw tightening station of the first row of the high-pressure casing 19 stays at the assembly zero position, completing the setting of the assembly zero point;

[0067] Control the vertical drive mechanism and the horizontal drive mechanism through the control system to move the tightening gun 13 to the first screw tightening station of the first row, and extend and retract the tightening gun 13 to tighten;

[0068] After the first screw is tightened, control the first servo motor 3 to drive the turntable 2 to rotate, driving the high-pressure casing 19 to rotate to the second screw tightening station for preparation of tightening again;

[0069] Tighten the screws in the first row in sequence. After the tightening is completed, drive the high-pressure casing 19 to rotate through the turntable 2 to make the first screw tightening station of the second row stay at the assembly zero position. At the same time, control the vertical drive mechanism and the horizontal drive mechanism through the control system to move the tightening gun 13 to the first screw tightening station of the second row for preparation of tightening again until the tightening of the remaining screws on the high-pressure casing 19 is completed.

It realizes the automatic force limit tightening of all screws on the high-pressure casing 19 in the full-automatic mode and stores the measurement data, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the assembler, ensure the working accuracy, reduce the error rate in the screw assembly process of the high-pressure casing 19, reduce the potential safety hazards of the whole machine, improve the maintenance and assembly quality of the aero-engine, and effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the whole machine. Thus, it can solve the problems of easy omission of assembly, omission of force limit, omission of counting and low efficiency in the manual assembly process.
