Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a caching device for the stator and rotor of a retarder, and particularly relates to a caching device for an automatic production line of the stator and rotor of a retarder. Background Art

[0002] The stator and rotor of a retarder are the core parts of a hydraulic retarder. Their quality determines the key performance of the hydraulic retarder, and their output also restricts the output of the retarder assembly. At present, the products of the stator and rotor of a retarder are processed either by a manual production line or by a relatively simple automatic production line. Both processing methods are difficult to achieve a large-batch, highly automated and green production mode. One of the reasons is that most of the necessary caching devices on the machining automatic production line are arranged on the ground, occupying space and having limited flexibility. When encountering situations such as double-station equipment material change, processes that require flipping, or carrying multiple stators and rotors of retarders, it is often necessary to arrange devices such as flipping tables and transfer tables near each piece of equipment. This not only occupies space but also leads to a large increase in protection, squeezing the space of the automatic production line and affecting the operation of workers inside the line.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent CN112917248A discloses a flexible machining production line for a retarder, including a machining line and an automatic line. The machining line is a linearly arranged machining device and auxiliary device that are not continuous with each other. The automatic line is used to transport workpieces between the devices on the machining line. The machining line and the automatic line are parallel and independent of each other; in the flexible machining production line for a retarder in the patent, the machining line and the automatic line are separately arranged. When new processes need to be added or production capacity needs to be expanded in the flexible line, only corresponding machine tools need to be added to the machining line while the machining line remains in its original state, greatly reducing the cost of updating the automated flexible line; although the production capacity can be expanded by adding machine tools in this patent, adding machine tools also requires arranging devices such as flipping tables and transfer tables near each machine tool, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the occupied space on the ground and a large increase in protection.

[0004] To solve the above problems, it is necessary to use a new type of caching device that can move with a robot according to the characteristics of the machining equipment for the stator and rotor of a retarder. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the problem that when using the existing caching device for the stator and rotor of a retarder, when encountering situations such as double-station equipment material change, processes that require flipping, or carrying multiple stators and rotors of retarders, it is often necessary to arrange devices such as flipping tables and transfer tables near each piece of equipment, resulting in an increase in ground space occupation and a large increase in protection, the utility model provides a caching device for an automatic production line of the stator and rotor of a retarder.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A buffering device for the stator-rotor automatic line of a retarder, characterized in that it includes:

[0008] A robot base, a robot body, a support crossbeam, a support base and a positioning tooling;

[0009] There are two of the support crossbeams, and the two support crossbeams are fixedly connected to both sides of the robot base on average;

[0010] A plurality of the support bases are arranged on each support crossbeam, and one positioning tooling is connected to each support base. The shape of the positioning tooling is adapted to the shape of the stator-rotor of the retarder to be placed, and is used to place the stator-rotor of the retarder;

[0011] The robot body is arranged on the robot base and is used to grab, flip the stator-rotor of the retarder, and place it on the corresponding positioning tooling, so as to realize the buffering of the stator-rotor of the retarder. There is no need to arrange a buffering device on the ground, reducing the occupation of the ground space, thereby solving the problem of a large increase in protection while occupying space.

[0012] Furthermore, it further includes: a sensor bracket, a radio frequency sensor arranged on the sensor bracket, a reflector bracket and a reflector arranged on the reflector bracket;

[0013] The number of the sensor brackets is the same as the number of the positioning toolings, and each sensor bracket is connected to the support crossbeam close to a positioning tooling;

[0014] The number of the reflector brackets is the same as the number of the support bases, and each reflector bracket is connected to a support base at a position close to the positioning tooling;

[0015] The radio frequency sensor close to each positioning tooling is arranged opposite to the reflector.

[0016] The radio frequency sensor emits a signal. If there is no stator-rotor of the retarder on the positioning tooling, the signal is reflected by the reflector and then received by the radio frequency sensor. If there is a stator-rotor of the retarder on the positioning tooling, the radio frequency sensor cannot receive the signal, and it is used to detect whether there is a stator-rotor of the retarder on each positioning tooling.

[0017] Furthermore, the midlines of the two support crossbeams are located on the same straight line, which can improve the stability of the buffering device of the present utility model for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder.

[0018] Furthermore, the robot base is a movable robot base. Since components such as the support crossbeam and the robot body are all connected to the robot base, during the movement of the robot base, it can drive components such as the support crossbeam and the robot body, including the stator-rotor of the retarder on the positioning tooling, to move together, and can realize the follow-up of the stator-rotor of the retarder.

[0019] Furthermore, the number of grippers of the robot body is one or more, which is set according to actual requirements; the number of stator-rotors of the retarder grabbed each time is determined according to the number of grippers of the robot body, which can adjust the round-trip picking times of the robot body and greatly improve the production line efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the multiple support bases located on each support beam are arranged on the same side of the support beam, and all the support bases are located on the same side of the straight line, which can further reduce the occupation of the lateral space by a buffer device for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder.

[0021] Furthermore, the number of positioning tools on each support beam is 2 to 3. If it is too small, the problem of space occupation cannot be solved; if it is too large, it will cause inconvenience for the operation of the robot body.

[0022] Furthermore, the support beam and the support base are connected by bolts, which can increase the stability of the overall structure.

[0023] Furthermore, the support base and the positioning tool are connected by bolts, which can further increase the stability of the overall structure.

[0024] Advantages of the utility model:

[0025] 1. The buffer device for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder of the utility model includes multiple support beams, and multiple positioning tools are connected to each support beam. The robot body grabs, transports the stator-rotor of the retarder and places it on the positioning tool, without arranging the buffer device on the ground, reducing the occupation of the ground space, thus solving the problem of large increase in protection caused by occupying space.

[0026] 2. In the buffer device for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder of the utility model, the relatively arranged radio frequency sensor and the reflector are adopted, which can realize the detection of whether there is a stator-rotor of the retarder on the positioning tool, facilitating the safe and accurate storage of the stator-rotor to be buffered on the positioning tool.

[0027] 3. In the buffer device for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder of the utility model, the robot base can move. Since components such as the support beam and the robot body are all connected to the robot base, the support beam, the robot body and other components including the stator-rotor of the retarder on the positioning tool can be driven to move together during the movement of the robot base, realizing the entrainment of the stator-rotor of the retarder.

[0028] 4. In the buffer device for the stator-rotor automatic line of the retarder of the utility model, the number of positioning tools is flexibly set and can be determined according to the actual situation. It can be used to buffer the stator-rotor of the retarder, and can also realize the flipping of the stator-rotor of the retarder through the action of the robot body.

[0029] 5. The cache device of the present utility model is used in the cache device of the retarder stator-rotor automatic line. Multiple support crossbeams are in the same plane, which can reduce the occupation of the lateral space when the whole cache device moves;

[0030] 6. The cache device of the present utility model is used in the cache device of the retarder stator-rotor automatic line. The number of retarder stators and rotors grabbed by the robot body each time can be set according to actual needs, which can adjust the number of round trips of the robot body to pick up parts, and greatly improve the production line efficiency;

[0031] 7. The cache device of the present utility model is particularly suitable for the automated production lines with double-spindle double-station equipment and single-spindle double-station equipment, which can effectively improve the output of the production line. Description of the Drawings

[0035] Next, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] A cache device for a retarder stator-rotor automatic line provided in this embodiment is as Figure 1As shown in the figure, there are two support crossbeams 3, which are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the robot base 1. By arranging the two support crossbeams 3 in the same plane, the lateral occupied space of the buffer device is reduced. The three support bases 6 are on the same side of the support crossbeam 3 through bolts, which can further reduce the lateral occupied space. A positioning tooling 7 is connected to each support base 6 through bolts. The shape of the positioning tooling 7 is adapted to the shape of the retarder stator-rotor 8 to be placed, and is used to place the retarder stator-rotor. The robot body 2 is arranged on the robot base 1 and is used to grasp, flip the retarder stator-rotor 8, and place it on the corresponding positioning tooling 7.

[0038] Among them, the positioning tooling 7 is used to support and limit the retarder stator-rotor 8.

[0039] The usage process of the buffer device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] Placement of the retarder stator-rotor 8: The robot body 2 grasps the retarder stator-rotor 8 and places it on the positioning tooling 7, completing the placement of the retarder stator-rotor 8.

[0041] Flipping of the retarder stator-rotor 8: The robot body 2 first places the retarder stator-rotor 8 on the positioning tooling 7, releases the gripper and then changes its posture, grips the retarder stator-rotor 8 from below and lifts it up and takes it away, completing the flipping of the retarder stator-rotor 8. It can also be completely executed in reverse according to the above steps to complete the material change.

[0042] Following of multiple retarder stator-rotors 8: The robot base 1 is a movable robot base and can move according to actual needs. Since components such as the support crossbeam 3 and the robot body 2 are all connected to the robot base 1, during the movement of the robot base 1, it can drive components such as the support crossbeam 3 and the robot body 2, including the retarder stator-rotor 8 on the positioning tooling, to move together, and can realize the following of the retarder stator-rotor 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support crossbeam 3 and the robot body 2 are both connected to the robot base 1. The robot body 2 grasps, places, flips, and changes the material of the retarder stator-rotor 8, and multiple positioning toolings 7 support and fix multiple retarder stator-rotors 8. There is no need to arrange a buffer device on the ground, thus solving the problem of increased protection while occupying a large amount of ground space; improving the load rate of the automatic line and effectively ensuring the output of the retarder stator-rotor 8.

[0044] In addition, increasing the number of grippers on the robot body 2 can increase the number of retarder stator-rotors 8 that can be carried, reduce the number of times the grippers of the robot body 2 go back and forth to pick up parts, and can greatly improve the production line working efficiency.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, it further includes a sensor bracket 5, a radio frequency sensor 4 disposed on the sensor bracket 5, a reflector bracket 9, and a reflector 10 disposed on the reflector bracket 9.

[0047] The number of sensor brackets 5 is the same as the number of positioning jigs 7. In this embodiment, three are used in both cases, and each sensor bracket 5 is connected to the support cross beam 3 near one positioning jig 7; the purpose of setting the sensor bracket 5 is to facilitate the connection of the radio frequency sensor 4 and can increase the structural stability.

[0048] The number of reflector brackets 9 is the same as the number of support bases 6. In this embodiment, three are used in both cases, and each reflector bracket 9 is connected to one support base 6 near the positioning jig 7; the purpose of setting the reflector bracket 9 is to facilitate the connection of the reflector 10 and can increase the structural stability.

[0049] The radio frequency sensor 4 near each positioning jig 7 is disposed opposite to the reflector 10. The radio frequency sensor 4 can transmit signals and receive signals, and the reflector 10 can reflect the signals transmitted by the radio frequency sensor 4.

[0050] The buffer device of this embodiment, on the basis of realizing the buffering of the retarder stator and rotor 8, can also detect whether there is a retarder stator and rotor 8 on the positioning jig 7, thereby improving the buffering efficiency. The specific detection method is as follows:

[0051] During use, the radio frequency sensor 4 emits radio frequency signals. If the radio frequency signals are received by the radio frequency sensor 4 after being reflected by the reflector 10, it is determined that there is no retarder stator and rotor 8 on the positioning jig 7, and then the robot body 2 can be controlled by the controller to buffer the retarder stator and rotor 8 on this positioning jig 7.

[0052] The radio frequency sensor 4 emits radio frequency signals. If no reflected signals are received by the radio frequency sensor 4, it is determined that there is a retarder stator and rotor 8 on the positioning jig 7, and then the robot body 2 can be controlled by the controller to buffer the retarder stator and rotor 8 on other positioning jigs 7.

[0053] As mentioned above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
