Detailed implementation manners

[0051] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the specific implementation manners of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained according to these drawings, and other implementation manners can also be obtained.

[0052] To simplify the drawings, only the parts related to the present application are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, to simplify the drawings for easy understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one of them is labeled. In this article, "one" not only means "only this one", but also can mean "more than one" situation.

[0053] Currently, in product production and assembly workshops, such as those of major photovoltaic support manufacturers for producing and assembling rotary speed reducers, the product production and assembly process mostly adopts an independent and decentralized working mode. The materials between each production process are all transferred manually, the connection between each production process is not compact enough, the assembly efficiency is low, and due to the influence of human subjective initiative, the product quality cannot be guaranteed, and there are areas for improvement.

[0054] In response to this, referring to the Figure 1 of the specification drawings, in one embodiment, an intelligent assembly production line is provided. By automating and intelligentizing the product production and assembly process, the product production efficiency and quality are significantly improved. Specifically, it includes a frame 1, a circular material conveyor 11, and a material transfer platform 2. Among them, the circular material conveyor 11 is arranged on the frame 1 and is sequentially provided with different assembly stations according to the product production process flow. The material transfer platform 2 is slidably arranged on the frame 1 through the circular material conveyor 11. The material transfer platform 2 is used to carry the product to be assembled and move relative to the circular material conveyor 11 under the action of a driving mechanism, for sequentially conveying assembly materials to different assembly stations along the product production process flow and outputting the final product at the unloading station 11222; at the same time, an intelligent assembly production line also includes a limiting mechanism 3. The limiting mechanism 3 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the assembly stations, that is, the limiting mechanism 3 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the assembly stations, for controlling the material transfer platform 2 to pause or flow normally at different assembly stations, so as to ensure the normal progress of the product assembly operation at each assembly station.

[0055] In actual applications, materials between various production processes are placed on the material flow platform 2, and flow along the annular material conveying body 11 through the material flow platform 2; when the materials flow to the corresponding assembly station, the limiting mechanism 3 controls the material flow platform 2 to pause at the corresponding assembly station, and the staff at the corresponding assembly station assembles the corresponding materials; after the assembly operation at the corresponding assembly station is completed, the staff puts the materials assembled at the corresponding assembly station back on the material flow platform 2, and then controls the material flow platform 2 to flow normally again through the limiting mechanism 3, so that the material flow platform 2 and the materials thereon flow to the next assembly station, and carry out the assembly operation of the next process... This cycle is repeated until the finished product is assembled; thereafter, the corresponding finished product is output to the unloading station 11222 through the material flow platform 2, thereby realizing the automated turnover of materials involved in the entire process of product production.

[0056] In this way, the annular material conveying body 11 is used to integrate multiple processes of the entire product production process, and the materials between the production processes are transported through the material flow platform 2. In combination with the limit mechanism 3, the material conveying rhythm is controlled to form an intelligent assembly line operation mode, and the automatic turnover of materials between the various production processes of the product is realized; in this way, the solution of independently and dispersedly setting up each assembly process in the related technology and manually turning over materials between the assembly processes is replaced, thereby reducing the degree of manual intervention in the product assembly process, thereby improving product production efficiency and product quality; at the same time, the labor intensity of the staff is significantly reduced.

[0057] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further describes the limit mechanism, specifically. Figure 2 In this embodiment of the present application, the limiting mechanism 3 is installed on the frame 1. The limiting mechanism 3 includes an abutment joint 32 and a power member 33. The abutment joint 32 is transmission-connected to the driving end of the power member 33. The abutment joint 32 can be telescopically moved relative to the driving end under the driving action of the driving end of the power member 33. During operation, when the abutment joint 32 is in an extended state relative to the driving end under the action of the power member 33, the abutment joint 32 abuts against the material flow platform 2, so that the material flow platform 2 cannot move along the material flow direction due to the limiting action of the limiting mechanism 3. Accordingly, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The direction indicated by the arrow is the material flow direction. When the abutment joint 32 is in a compressed state relative to the driving end under the action of the power member 33, the abutment joint 32 is not in contact with the material flow platform 2, and the material flow platform 2 will not be limited by the limiting mechanism 3, and can thus move along the material flow direction.

[0058] In addition, the power component 33 is set as a power cylinder. The housing of the power cylinder is fixed to the frame 1, the piston rod of the power cylinder is arranged vertically, and the abutting head 32 is installed at one end of the piston rod of the power cylinder away from the housing of the power cylinder. At the same time, referring to Figure 3 , the air compression pipeline 331 and the compressed air pressure regulating valve 332 of the power cylinder are both arranged on the lower side of the frame 1, and the air compression pipeline 331 is connected to all power cylinders, so as to ensure the synchronization of the operation rhythms of different assembly workstations. Of course, the power component 33 can also be set as an electric cylinder, a crank connecting rod, or other structures whose output shafts can perform linear telescopic movements. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the setting manner of the power component 33.

[0059] Furthermore, the material transfer platform 2 includes a bearing plate 21. Concave slots 31 are respectively arranged at both ends of the bearing plate 21 in the material transfer direction. Under the action of the power component 33, the abutting head 32 is in abutting fit with the slots 31 to limit the movement of the material transfer platform 2. Specifically, the slots 31 are opened at the front end position of the bearing plate 21 in the feeding direction of the material transfer platform 2; the abutting head 32 is arranged on the frame 1 and moves telescopically under the action of the driving end, and then is arranged to move up and down along the penetrating direction of the slots 31.

[0060] In this embodiment of the present application, the penetrating direction of the slots 31 is arranged vertically; when working, the limiting mechanism 3 has a first state and a second state. When in the first state, that is, in the initial state, the telescopic rods of all power cylinders are in the extended state, and the abutting head 32 moves upward from bottom to top and extends above the frame 1; when the material transfer platform 2 runs along the annular material conveyor 11, the abutting head 32 is sequentially inserted into the corresponding slots 31 along the feeding direction of the material transfer platform 2 until it abuts against the bottom wall of the corresponding slot 31, thereby restricting the transfer of the material transfer platform 2 and causing the material transfer platform 2 to pause at different assembly workstations; when in the second state, that is, after the assembly operation at the corresponding assembly workstation is completed, the piston rod of the power cylinder contracts, driving the abutting head 32 to descend vertically and move backward from top to bottom below the frame 1, so that the material transfer platform 2 can transfer to the next assembly workstation.

[0061] Furthermore, the material transfer platform 2 further includes a material fixture 22 arranged on the bearing plate 21. Among them, the material fixture 22 is arranged at the middle position above the bearing plate 21, and the material to be assembled is placed on the material fixture 22.

[0062] To improve the adaptability of the material transfer platform 2 and remove the restriction on its installation direction, referring to Figure 2 , in this embodiment of the present application, one slot 31 is provided at each position of the bearing plate 21 corresponding to both ends of the material transfer platform 2 in the feeding direction.

[0063] In addition, the abutment head 32 includes a body and a roller, the roller is arranged on the top of the body, and the body is inclined toward the direction of the card slot 31, so that the abutment head 32 can stably limit the movement of the material flow platform, and can also optimize the force of the abutment head 32, and ensure the quality of the abutment head 32. When working, when the telescopic rod of the power cylinder is in an extended state, it drives the roller to be embedded in the card slot 31 from bottom to top, so as to restrict the material flow platform 2. When the telescopic rod of the power cylinder is in a retracted state, it drives the roller to separate from the card slot 31 from top to bottom, and the contact abutment head 32 restricts the material flow platform 2.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 The annular material conveying body 11 includes a material conveying platform 111 and a material docking platform 112, both of which are arranged as linear platforms. The material conveying platform 111 is arranged horizontally, and different assembly stations are arranged in sequence along the production process flow direction; in this embodiment of the present application, the material conveying platform 111 includes a first conveying platform 1111 and a second conveying platform 1112, both of which are linear platforms and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 The driving mechanism includes two parallel belts arranged on the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, and corresponding pulleys for driving the belts to rotate. The two belts are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the corresponding first conveying platform 1111 or the corresponding second conveying platform 1112. The supporting plate 21 of the material flow platform 2 is mounted on the corresponding two belts and realizes the flow along the direction of the production process through the friction force with the corresponding belts. Of course, in the implementation mode of this application, refer to Figure 3 The first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112 can also be configured as other transmission devices 11111 such as sprockets and linear slides. The present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific configuration of the material conveying platform 111. Of course, the frame 1 is also provided with a driving member for driving the transmission device 11111. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific restriction on the configuration of the driving member. For example, the driving member is configured as a variable frequency motor 11112, and the output shaft of the variable frequency motor 11112 is coaxially connected with the pulley to drive the pulley and the corresponding belt to rotate.

[0066] In one embodiment, the material conveying platform 111 is provided with two parallel slideways, and both side ends of the material flow platform 2 are embedded in the slideways. Correspondingly, the driving mechanism at this time includes a roller chain assembly and a driving assembly drivingly connected to the roller chain assembly. The roller chain assembly is arranged below the slideway, and includes a roller chain and two rotating wheels. The two rotating wheels are arranged along the length direction of the material conveying platform 111 and are located at opposite ends of the material conveying platform 111. The roller chain is sleeved outside the two rotating wheels and abuts against the bottom of the material flow platform 2, and the friction force generated by the rotation of the roller chain drives the material flow platform 2 to move. The driving assembly can be set as a motor, and the driving end of the motor is drivingly connected to one of the rotating wheels after deceleration through a speed reducer to drive the rotating wheel to rotate, and further drive the roller chain to rotate.

[0067] In this embodiment of the present application, operation platforms 12 are arranged along the conveying directions of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112 on the frame 1. The operation platforms 12 are arranged below the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, and different operation stations are formed at intervals along the length directions of the corresponding first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112 on the corresponding operation platforms 12; two belts corresponding to the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112 are respectively arranged on both sides in the width direction of the operation platform 12 to prevent the material conveying platform 111 from interfering with the corresponding operations at each assembly station on the operation platform 12.

[0068] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 4 , a plurality of limiting mechanisms 3 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the length directions of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, and are respectively arranged at positions between adjacent assembly stations. Through holes 121 are respectively formed on the operation platform 12 corresponding to any abutting head 32. When the power cylinder is in the extended state or the contracted state, it drives the abutting head 32 to pass through the through hole 121 from bottom to top or from top to bottom.

[0069] Meanwhile, limit buttons 13 are further arranged on the frame 1. The limit buttons 13 correspond to the power cylinders one by one and are electrically connected, and any limit button 13 is arranged on one side of the operation platform 12 close to the operation area. During use, the staff at the corresponding assembly station can control the opening and closing of the corresponding power cylinder by pressing the limit button 13 to realize the control of the flow state of the material flow platform 2.

[0070] In addition, material trolleys 14 are respectively arranged on the side of the operation platform 12 close to the operation area corresponding to any limiting mechanism 3. Any material trolley 14 is arranged at a position between adjacent assembly stations and is used for placing the materials and assembly tools to be assembled at the corresponding assembly stations. In addition, refer to Figure 5, a storage box 15 is also provided on the side wall of the frame body 1 close to the operation area corresponding to any assembly station to increase the storage stations.

[0071] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the annular material conveying body 11 further includes a material docking platform 112. In this embodiment of the present application, the material docking platform 112 includes a loading and unloading platform 1121 and a material turning platform 1122. Both the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122 are linear platforms and are arranged in parallel at intervals; in this embodiment of the present application, the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122 are respectively connected end to end at the same end of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, so as to form an annular material conveying body 11 with the material conveying platform 111 along the direction of the product production process flow. In this embodiment of the present application, due to the specific structures of the material conveying platform 111 and the material docking platform 112, the annular material conveying body 11 is integrally in the shape of a "return".

[0072] Referring to Figure 5 , both the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122 include a plurality of linear driving mechanisms 11211 arranged in parallel at intervals.

[0073] Moreover, to realize the turning of the material transfer platform 2 at the connection between the material conveying platform 111 and the material docking platform 112, in this embodiment of the present application, driving platforms 4 are provided on both the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122. The driving platforms 4 horizontally reciprocate between the two material conveying platforms 111 along the length direction of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122 through the linear driving mechanisms 11211.

[0074] In addition, a pulley mechanism is provided on the driving platform 4 for transferring the material docking platform 112 to the material conveying platform 111. In addition, the pulley mechanism is also used to assist in transferring the material transfer platform 2 on the material conveying platform 111 to the material docking platform 112. Specifically, after the material transfer platform 2 runs to the end of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, it continues to run until it is loaded onto the corresponding driving platform 4, and the pulley mechanism rotates and drives the material transfer platform 2 to enter the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122.

[0075] In this embodiment of the present application, the driving platform 4 is a rectangular plate-like structure and is horizontally arranged. To facilitate the transfer of the material transfer platform 2 between the material conveying platform 111 and the material docking platform 112, the pulley mechanism of any driving platform 4 includes a belt 41 and two pulleys for driving the rotation of the belt 41; specifically, two belts 41 are provided on any driving platform 4, and the two belts 41 are arranged in parallel at intervals, and the straight-line motion segment of any belt 41 is parallel to the conveying direction of the material conveying platform 111; any belt 41 is wound around two pulleys, and the upper segment of any belt 41 in straight-line motion is at the same height as the material conveying platform 111, so that the material transfer platform 2 can smoothly flow between the first conveying platform 1111 and the loading and unloading platform 1121, and between the second conveying platform 1112 and the material turning platform 1122 along the product production process direction. A driving member for driving the pulley to rotate is also provided on the frame 1. In this embodiment of the present application, the driving member is set as a driving motor. Of course, it can also be set in other forms.

[0076] In this embodiment of the present application, to assist in regulating the position of the driving platform 4 and achieve the smooth transfer of the material transfer platform 2 between the material conveying platform 111 and the material docking platform 112, the intelligent assembly production line further includes a controller. A first sensor 16 is provided at one end of the driving platform 4 opposite to the material conveying platform 111, that is, the driving platforms 4 of the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122 are both provided with a first sensor 16. The first sensor 16 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to detect whether the material transfer platform 2 has moved out of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122.

[0077] At the same time, any first sensor 16 is also electrically connected to the adjacent linear driving mechanism 11211. So that after the material transfer platform 2 runs to the loading end of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122, if the first sensor 16 detects that the material transfer platform 2 has not been transferred out of the material docking platform 112, the controller controls the driving platform 4 to automatically run from the loading end of the corresponding loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122 to the unloading end, so as to transfer the material transfer platform 2 out of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122.

[0078] In one implementation manner, correspondingly, a second sensor is further provided on the material conveying platform 111. The second sensor is provided at one end of the material conveying platform 111 close to the unloading end of the material docking platform 112. The second sensor is also electrically connected to the controller and is used to detect whether the material transfer platform 2 on the material docking platform 112 is completely located on the material conveying platform 111.

[0079] In one embodiment, a first sensor 16 is provided at one end of the driving platform 4 opposite to the material conveying platform 111, and a second sensor is also provided on the material conveying platform 111. The first sensor 16 and the second sensor are combined to detect the running position of the material conveying platform 111, so as to ensure that the material transfer platform 2 completely enters the material conveying platform 111.

[0080] Furthermore, a first limit switch 17 and a second limit switch 18 are provided on the frame 1; specifically, there are also two first limit switches 17, which are respectively arranged on the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the discharge ends of the loading and unloading platform 1121 and the material turning platform 1122; similarly, two second limit switches 18 are respectively arranged on the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the starting ends of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112, and the first limit switch 17 and the second limit switch 18 are respectively used to sense the material transfer platform 2 running to the corresponding positions.

[0081] At the same time, any first limit switch 17 is electrically connected to the adjacent driving member, so that after the material transfer platform 2 runs to the discharge end of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122, the material transfer platform 2 automatically runs from the driving platform 4 to the starting end of the corresponding first conveying platform 1111 or the second conveying platform 1112; the second limit switch 18 is electrically connected to the linear driving mechanism 11211, so that after the material transfer platform 2 runs to the starting end of the corresponding first conveying platform 1111 or the second conveying platform 1112, the driving platform 4 automatically returns from the discharge end of the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122 to the loading end to wait for the material transfer platform 2 to run to the driving platform 4 again along the product production process.

[0082] At the same time, in this embodiment of the present application, the loading station 11221 and the unloading station 11222 are respectively arranged at positions on the loading and unloading platform 1121 or the material turning platform 1122 close to the starting end of the first conveying platform 1111 and the tail end of the second conveying platform 1112, so that after the finished product is output at the unloading station 11222, the idle material transfer platform 2 is automatically conveyed to the loading station 11221 to realize the high-conductivity of the annular material conveying body 11.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 3, in this embodiment of the present application, the loading station 11221 and the unloading station 11222 are respectively arranged at positions of the material turning platform 1122 close to the starting end of the first conveying platform 1111 and close to the tail end of the second conveying platform 1112. At the same time, in order to realize the precise transmission of the material flow platform 2 between the loading station 11221 and the unloading station 11222, in this embodiment of the present application, a loading release sensor 5 and an unloading release sensor 6 are respectively arranged on the frame 1 corresponding to the loading station 11221 and the unloading station 11222. The loading release sensor 5 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to sense whether there is a product when the material flow platform 2 is at the loading station 11221. The unloading release sensor 6 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to sense whether there is a product when the material flow platform 2 is at the unloading station 11222.

[0084] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the frame 1 further includes a support frame 19. The support frame 19 is arranged in the middle of the first conveying platform 1111 and the second conveying platform 1112 and is arranged along the length direction of the material conveying platform 111. A display screen 7 is arranged on the support frame 19 corresponding to any assembly station. The display screen 7 is arranged above the corresponding assembly station and is used to display the assembly operation guide documents and precautions of the corresponding assembly station and play them, so that the staff can clearly understand the operation processes and precautions of each assembly station, thereby improving the production efficiency and quality of the product.

[0085] Moreover, a cooling fan 8 is arranged above and behind the corresponding display screen 7 on the support frame 19 to dissipate heat from the corresponding display screen 7.

[0086] In addition, in order to improve the visual clarity of each assembly station, an LED lamp 9 is also arranged above the corresponding assembly station on the support frame 19.

[0087] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined according to needs. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
