Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical application field of automatic equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic feeding device for an intercooler housing component. Background Art

[0002] The intercooler is assembled by multiple components. After the intercooler is assembled, it also needs to be fixed by nuts, PVC plate sleeves and I-beams to ensure the stability of the product. In traditional assembly lines, manual handling and assembly methods are adopted. However, when the number of assemblies required is large, manual assembly cannot meet the assembly requirements. Similarly, in the prior art, automated assembly methods are adopted in the assembly process, which can improve the assembly efficiency. However, in the feeding process, full-automatic control still cannot be achieved, the degree of automation is low, and complex action processes cannot be realized.

[0003] In summary, there is an urgent need to provide an automatic feeding device to realize the automatic management of the intercooler assembly process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an automatic feeding device for an intercooler housing component. Through the cooperation of a robotic arm, a clamping tooling and a positioning and detecting tooling on a placing table, etc., the transportation and handling of the housing component are completed. Compared with manual handling and the installation of the next process, the working efficiency is greatly improved, and the safety in the handling process is ensured.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: an automatic feeding device for an intercooler housing component, including a sliding table, and a placing table for positioning nuts, PVC plate sleeves, I-beams and intercooler housings is arranged on the sliding table;

[0006] The placing table is provided with a plurality of positioning pins for cooperating with the intercooler housing, and limiting blocks are arranged around the positioning pins to position the intercooler housing;

[0007] Taking the direction of the placing table moving for feeding as the front, a positioning and detecting tooling for placing positioning nuts, PVC plate sleeves and I-beams is arranged in front of the intercooler housing;

[0008] The placing table moves along the length direction of the sliding table, and the positioning nuts, PVC plate sleeves, I-beams and intercooler housings are simultaneously carried by a clamping tooling arranged on a robotic arm.

[0009] Further, a housing detection sensor located on the placing table is arranged on one side of the intercooler housing.

[0010] Further, the positioning and detection tooling includes a storage table disposed on the placement table through a support rod. The storage table is successively provided with a first profiling seat, a second profiling seat, and a third profiling seat for placing nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams, so as to position the nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams.

[0011] Further, in-position detection sensors are provided in the first profiling seat, the second profiling seat, and the third profiling seat.

[0012] Further, the clamping tooling includes a fixing tooling connected to the robotic arm and a clamping cylinder disposed on the fixing tooling. There are multiple groups of the clamping cylinders, including a housing clamping cylinder, a nut clamping cylinder, a PVC clamping cylinder, and an I-beam clamping cylinder. The nut clamping cylinder, the PVC clamping cylinder, and the I-beam clamping cylinder are arranged in parallel.

[0013] Further, the housing clamping cylinder, the nut clamping cylinder, the PVC clamping cylinder, and the I-beam clamping cylinder are all controlled independently.

[0014] Further, the housing clamping cylinder, the nut clamping cylinder, the PVC clamping cylinder, and the I-beam clamping cylinder are all provided with clamping jaws. The orientation of the clamping jaws of the housing clamping cylinder is opposite to that of the nut clamping cylinder, the PVC clamping cylinder, and the I-beam clamping cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The setting of the positioning and detection tooling not only facilitates the positioning and placement of nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams, but also can detect whether the products are placed in place, ensuring that the robotic arm can accurately grasp the products.

[0017] 2. The synchronous clamping and handling of the intercooler housing, nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams improve the working efficiency compared with the handling of each of the above products one by one.

[0018] 3. Multiple cylinders are controlled independently, and the orientation of the clamping jaws of the housing clamping cylinder is opposite to that of other clamping jaws, avoiding interference during clamping, fixing, and handling.

Specific embodiments

[0025] In order to be able to more clearly understand the technical means of the present utility model and to be implemented in accordance with the content of the specification, the following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so as to implement the embodiments of this application described here.

[0027] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship recorded in the embodiments and shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this utility model is usually placed when in use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0028] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the present utility model specifically relates to an automatic feeding device for a charge air cooler housing component, including a sliding table 210, and a placement table 220 for positioning nuts, PVC board sleeves, I-beams, and charge air cooler housings is provided on the sliding table 210;

[0029] The placement table 220 is provided with a plurality of positioning pins for cooperating with the charge air cooler housing, and limit blocks 221 are arranged around the positioning pins to position the charge air cooler housing;

[0030] With the feeding direction of the placement table 220 as the front, a positioning detection tool 230 for placing positioning nuts, PVC plate sleeves and I-beams is provided in front of the intercooler housing;

[0031] The placement platform 220 moves along the length direction of the slide 210, and the positioning nut, the PVC plate sleeve, the I-beam and the intercooler housing are simultaneously transported by the clamping tool 520 provided on the robot arm.

[0032] First, the intercooler housing is moved to the placement table 220. The positioning pins and the limit blocks 221 of the placement table 220 cooperate with each other to position the intercooler housing and limit the position of the intercooler housing to prevent the position of the intercooler housing from shifting during transportation.

[0033] Secondly, place the nuts, PVC sheet sleeves and I-beams on the positioning and detection tooling 230. The positioning and detection tooling 230 not only defines the positions of the nuts, PVC sheet sleeves and I-beams, but also detects whether the nuts, PVC sheet sleeves and I-beams are in place, ensuring that the robotic arm can clamp and fix the above products.

[0034] Again, after the intercooler housing, nuts, PVC sheet sleeves and I-beams are placed in place, the placement table 220 moves linearly along the length direction of the slide 210. After moving to the designated position, the robotic arm drives the clamping tooling 520 to clamp and fix the nuts, PVC sheet sleeves, I-beams and intercooler housing in turn, and move them to the next process to complete the assembly.

[0035] From then on, after the intercooler, nuts, PVC board sleeves and I-beams on the placement table 220 are moved away, the placement table 220 moves to the initial position along the length direction of the slide 210, waiting for personnel to continue to put the above products in, and the cycle is repeated to complete the loading.

[0036] A housing detection sensor 222 located on the placement platform 220 is provided on one side of the intercooler housing. The housing detection sensor 222 is used to confirm whether the intercooler housing is placed in place, thereby ensuring the grasping accuracy of the robotic arm.

[0037] The positioning detection tooling 230 includes a storage platform 232 arranged on the placement platform 220 through a support rod 231. The storage platform 232 is provided with a first contour seat 233, a second contour seat 234 and a third contour seat 235 for placing nuts, PVC plate sleeves and I-beams in sequence to position the nuts, PVC plate sleeves and I-beams.

[0038] It should be noted that among them, the first profiling seat 233 has a shape structure for cooperating with nuts, the second profiling seat 234 has a shape structure for cooperating with PVC board sleeves, and the third profiling seat 235 has a shape structure for cooperating with I-beams. The settings of the first profiling seat 233, the second profiling seat 234, and the third profiling seat 235 ensure the stability of the nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams during the moving process, and facilitate the grasping by the robotic arm.

[0039] After the nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams are placed in place, it is also necessary to detect whether the above products are placed in place. If the above products are not placed in place or are missed, the robotic arm cannot grasp them, and it will affect the assembly of the next process. Therefore, when the product inspections are all placed in place, the placement table 220 will move along the length direction of the sliding table 210 to the designated position and wait to be grasped by the clamping tool 520 of the robotic arm.

[0040] In the first profiling seat 233, the second profiling seat 234, and the third profiling seat 235, there are in-position detection sensors 236.

[0041] The in-position detection sensors 236 are used to detect whether the nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams are placed in place, so as to avoid abnormal placement or missed placement.

[0042] The clamping tool 520 includes a fixed tool 521 connected to the robotic arm and a clamping cylinder provided on the fixed tool 521. There are multiple groups of the clamping cylinders, including a housing clamping cylinder 522, a nut clamping cylinder 523, a PVC clamping cylinder 524, and an I-beam clamping cylinder 525. The nut clamping cylinder 523, the PVC clamping cylinder 524, and the I-beam clamping cylinder 525 are arranged in parallel.

[0043] Among them, the nut clamping cylinder 523, the PVC clamping cylinder 524, and the I-beam clamping cylinder 525 are arranged in parallel, corresponding to the nuts, PVC board sleeves, and I-beams on the positioning and detection tooling 230, which facilitates the simultaneous clamping and fixing of these three products and improves the efficiency.

[0044] The housing clamping cylinder 522, the nut clamping cylinder 523, the PVC clamping cylinder 524, and the I-beam clamping cylinder 525 are all controlled separately, so as to be able to clamp and fix the above products more precisely.

[0045] The housing clamping cylinder 522, the nut clamping cylinder 523, the PVC clamping cylinder 524, and the I-beam clamping cylinder 525 are all provided with clamping jaws 526. The orientation of the clamping jaws 526 of the housing clamping cylinder 522 is opposite to that of the nut clamping cylinder 523, the PVC clamping cylinder 524, and the I-beam clamping cylinder 525, so as to avoid interference with the placement table 220 or the sliding table 210 during the clamping process of the intercooler housing.

[0046] The above embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present utility model, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person skilled in the technical field can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, and should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
