Specific implementation manners

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the specification drawings of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a robot for gluing and pressing automotive exterior panels, including a mounting plate 1. On both sides of the lower surface of the two mounting plates 1, support columns 2 are fixedly connected. On the adjacent sides of the two support columns 2 on one side, a mounting column 3 is fixedly connected. A first cylinder 4 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting column 3. The output end of the first cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a push plate 5. Inside both ends of the push plate 5, sliding columns 6 are slidably connected. On the outer walls above the two sliding columns 6, they are slidably connected inside the mounting column 3. At the bottom ends of the two sliding columns 6, a pressing plate 7 is fixedly connected. A protective pad 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing plate 7. A spring 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 6. One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the push plate 5, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate 7. A rotating column 12 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 1. A driving mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the mounting column 3. The driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating column 12 to rotate. A first electric slide rail 10 is installed below the mounting column 3. The driving end of the first electric slide rail 10 is provided with a first slider 11. The upper surface of the first slider 11 is fixedly connected to a positioning column 28.

[0023] Specifically, by starting the first cylinder 4, the push plate 5 can be driven to move. The movement of the push plate 5 can drive the pressing plate 7 to move under the action of the spring 9. The movement of the pressing plate 7 can further drive the sliding column 6 to slide inside the mounting column 3. When the pressing plate 7 is pressed down to contact the interior panel to be pressed, the first cylinder 4 continues to move, thereby pushing the push plate 5 to slide on the outer wall of the sliding column 6. At this time, the spring 9 is compressed. Under the action of the spring 9, an effective buffering effect is achieved, realizing pressure progression, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the interior panel and exterior panel during pressing. Through the setting of the protective pad 8, it effectively avoids the surface of the interior panel from being rubbed and worn during pressing, effectively protecting the surface of the interior panel. Through the first electric slide rail 10, the first slider 11 can be driven to move, and then the exterior panel on the first slider 11 can be driven to move. Through the positioning column 28, it is convenient to limit the position of the exterior panel, effectively avoiding the movement of the exterior panel on the first slider 11 from affecting the processing.

[0024] Refer to Figure 2 , the driving mechanism includes a motor 13. The motor 13 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting column 3. The output end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to a first gear 14. The teeth of the first gear 14 are meshed with a second gear 15. The middle of the second gear 15 is fixedly connected to the middle outer wall of the rotating column 12.

[0025] Specifically, the motor 13 can drive the first gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 14 drives the second gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 15 can further drive the rotating column 12 to rotate inside the mounting plate 1.

[0026] Refer to Figure 3, both ends of the rotating column 12 are connected with synchronous belts 16 through synchronous pulleys. One end of the synchronous belt 16 is connected with a rotating rod 17 through a synchronous pulley. Both ends of the rotating rod 17 are rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 1. An installation groove 18 is formed inside the mounting plate 1, and the synchronous belt 16 is installed inside the installation groove 18.

[0027] Specifically, by rotating the rotating column 12, the synchronous pulleys at both ends of the rotating column 12 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. Since a synchronous pulley is also installed on the rotating rod 17 and the rotating rod 17 can rotate inside the mounting plate 1, the synchronous belts 16 on both sides can be driven to move simultaneously.

[0028] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , sliding frames 19 are slidably connected to the outer walls of both mounting plates 1. Both sides of the inner wall of the sliding frame 19 are fixedly connected with sliding blocks 20. Sliding grooves 21 are formed inside both sides of the mounting plate 1. The outer walls of the sliding blocks 20 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the sliding grooves 21. One ends of the two sliding blocks 20 close to each other are fixedly connected to both sides of the synchronous belt 16.

[0029] Specifically, when the synchronous belts 16 on both sides rotate simultaneously, the sliding blocks 20 can be driven to slide inside the sliding grooves 21, and then the two sliding frames 19 can be driven to slide synchronously on the outer walls of the mounting plates 1.

[0030] A second electric slide rail 22 is installed on one side of the two sliding frames 19 close to each other. A second slider 23 is arranged at the driving end of the second electric slide rail 22. A second air cylinder 24 is installed on the lower surface of the second slider 23. The output end of the second air cylinder 24 is fixedly connected with a pushing frame 25. A fixing block 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second slider 23. A slot corresponding to the fixing block 26 is formed inside the pushing frame 25. A glue application tube 27 is installed on the outer wall of the pushing frame 25.

[0031] Specifically, the sliding of the two sliding frames 19 can drive the second electric slide rail 22 to move. The second electric slide rail 22 can drive the second slider 23 to move. The movement of the second slider 23 can drive the pushing frame 25 to move. By starting the second air cylinder 24, the pushing frame 25 can be driven to move. The pushing frame 25 slides on the outer wall of the fixing block 26. When the pushing frame 25 moves, the glue application tube 27 can be driven to move.

[0032] Working principle: When using this device, place the exterior trim panel on the first slider 11, drive the first slider 11 to move through the first electric slide rail 10, move the exterior trim panel to a suitable position, drive the first gear 14 by controlling the motor 13 and then drive the second gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 15 drives the rotating column 12 to rotate, and the rotating column 12 drives the synchronous wheels at both ends to rotate simultaneously, so that the synchronous belts 16 on both sides can move simultaneously. Since the sliding blocks 20 are fixedly connected to both sides of the synchronous belt 16, the two sliding brackets 19 can be driven to slide synchronously on the outer wall of the mounting plate 1, so that the second electric slide rail 22 can be driven to move back and forth, and the glue applicator tube 27 can be driven to move back and forth. The two sliding brackets 19 slide synchronously, effectively avoiding the situation that the two ends of the second electric slide rail 22 run inconsistently when the sliding bracket 19 drives it to move, and effectively improving the running stability of the second electric slide rail 22. The second electric slide rail 22 can drive the second slider 23 to move left and right, and the movement of the second slider 23 can drive the push frame 25 to move, so that the glue applicator tube 27 can be driven to move left and right. By starting the second cylinder 24, the push frame 25 can be driven to move up and down, so that the glue applicator tube 27 can be driven to move up and down, and the glue can be accurately coated on the specified part of the exterior trim panel, effectively ensuring the accuracy of glue application. After the glue application is completed, press the interior trim panel onto the exterior trim panel, drive the first slider 11 to move through the first electric slide rail 10, and move the interior trim panel and the exterior trim panel to the lower surface of the pressing plate 7. By starting the first cylinder 4 to drive the push plate 5 to move, drive the pressing plate 7 to move under the action of the spring 9, so that the sliding column 6 slides inside the mounting column 3. When the pressing plate 7 presses down to contact the interior trim panel to be pressed, the first cylinder 4 continues to move, thereby pushing the push plate 5 to slide on the outer wall of the sliding column 6. At this time, the spring 9 is squeezed, and under the action of the spring 9, an effective buffering effect is achieved, realizing pressure progression, and pressing the interior trim panel and the exterior trim panel, effectively avoiding damage to them when pressing the interior trim panel and the exterior trim panel. Through the setting of the protective pad 8, it effectively avoids the surface of the interior trim panel from being rubbed and worn during pressing, thereby effectively protecting the surface of the interior trim panel, and effectively playing a protective role when processing the automotive exterior trim panel, effectively preventing damage.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
