Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gluing equipment, and more specifically to a gluing manipulator of an intelligent gluing robot for automobile side air curtains. Background Art

[0002] The production of automobile side air curtains requires an assembly line gluing process. Generally, a gluing robot is installed on the assembly line for automatic gluing. The gluing robot is input with a specific program by the control system, and is controlled by a glue pump, pipeline, and flow detection. It automatically applies glue to the automobile side air curtains according to the set gluing trajectory.

[0003] However, the existing automobile side air curtain gluing robots still have the following technical problems:

[0004] 1) Existing automobile side air curtain nozzles require multiple bolts to be fixed when assembled on the robot, which makes disassembly cumbersome and inconvenient to replace and maintain.

[0005] 2) A single glue head only provides one type of glue, and switching between different glues is cumbersome.

[0006] 3) The movement mode is single and cannot meet the requirements of multi-directional control.

[0007] To address these issues, we've developed a quick-install glue dispensing mechanism and robot. The nozzle can be quickly installed on the robot's head, making replacement and maintenance easier. The dual glue heads provide quick switching between two different glues, saving production line changeover time and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the reinforced structure ensures stable operation, and motion control in three axes (X, Y, and Z) allows for any desired gluing trajectory. Utility Model Content

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a gluing robot for an automobile side air curtain, comprising a gluing quick-install structure with its front facing the assembly line, the gluing quick-install structure comprising a longitudinal support plate 3 and a transverse support plate 4 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the longitudinal support plate 3;

[0042] The nozzle includes a nozzle end 1 and a nozzle tail 2. There is at least one nozzle, and the nozzle is located on one side of the longitudinal support plate 3; the nozzle end 1 has a accommodating cavity inside and an interface outside to connect the oil tank and the oil pump.

[0043] a nozzle end fixing plate 7 fixed to the side of the top of the longitudinal support plate 3 facing the nozzle end 1; and a second fixing bolt 8 for fixing the plug-in nozzle end 1 to the nozzle end fixing plate 7;

[0044] The nozzle tail fixing plate 5 is located on the side of the transverse support plate 4 facing the nozzle tail 2, and the nozzle tail 2 is clamped between the transverse support plate 4 and the nozzle tail fixing plate 5; and a first fixing bolt 6 is used to fix the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 to the side of the transverse support plate 4.

[0045] In the above embodiment, at least one nozzle is provided, and the fixing position of the entire glue-applying quick-install structure is divided into two parts, upper and lower. Compared with the single position of fixing the nozzle, fixing the nozzle up and down can improve the fixing effect and avoid unstable fixation. At the upper part of the nozzle, the nozzle end 1 is fixed to the nozzle end fixing plate 7 by a second fixing bolt 8. The fixing method includes providing a threaded hole facing the nozzle end fixing plate 7 on the nozzle end 1, and the second fixing bolt 8 passes through the nozzle end fixing plate 7 and is connected with the threaded hole to achieve fixation; at the bottom of the nozzle, the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 cooperates with the transverse support plate 4 to clamp the nozzle tail 2 in the middle. The nozzle tail fixing plate 5 can be fixed to the side of the transverse support plate 4 by using the first fixing bolt 6 on both sides of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 to achieve fixation of the nozzle tail 2. The single nozzle quick installation structure can achieve fixation of the upper and lower parts of the nozzle by only three bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and has a good fixing effect.

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal support plate 3 and the transverse support plate 4 form a "T" shape as a whole, and the longitudinal support plate 3 and the transverse support plate 4 constitute a disassembly structure; this structure is convenient for installing a nozzle on both sides of the longitudinal support plate 3, and the quick-install structure of the two nozzles is the same. At the same time, the bottom of the transverse support plate 4 can be fixed to the bottom of the longitudinal support plate 3 by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement. The dual nozzle design makes it convenient to replace different glues at any time without frequent replacement, thereby improving the gluing efficiency.

[0047] For more details, see Figure 1 There are two nozzles symmetrically arranged on both sides of the longitudinal support plate 3, and the nozzle ends 1 of the two nozzles are each separately provided with a fuel tank interface.

[0048] More specifically, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a nozzle end mounting groove 13 for plugging in the nozzle end 1 is provided on the side of the nozzle end fixing plate 7 facing the nozzle end 1; one edge of the nozzle end 1 is flush with an edge of the nozzle end fixing plate 7, and an internal threaded hole 16 is reserved on the edge of the nozzle end 1. The threaded section of the second fixing bolt 8 is connected to the internal threaded hole 16, and the contact surface between the head of the second fixing bolt 8 and the nozzle end 1 covers the edge of the nozzle end fixing plate 7 at the same time.

[0049] In this embodiment, one end of the nozzle end 1 is first installed into the nozzle end mounting groove 13 to achieve the first step of fixing, and then the second fixing bolt 8 is used to match the internal threaded hole 16 to fix the nozzle end 1 and the nozzle end fixing plate 7. Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing bolt 8 has two ends, wherein the threaded section is connected to the internal threaded hole 16. When the head is gradually tightened, the joint position of the nozzle end 1 and the nozzle end fixing plate 7 can be laterally fixed. Since the second fixing bolt 8 faces the front end or the rear end when installed, it makes disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] In Example 1, please refer to Figure 4 At least one slot 14 is provided inside the nozzle end mounting groove 13 , and an insert 15 corresponding to the number, size and position of the slot 14 is provided on the end surface of the nozzle end 1 facing the slot 14 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the nozzle end is first fixed by inserting the plug block 15 into the corresponding slot 14; the nozzle end 1 is installed into the nozzle end mounting groove 13 to achieve the second fixation; finally, the nozzle end 1 and the nozzle end fixing plate 7 are fixed by the second fixing bolt 8 to achieve the third fixation. The above process of fixing the nozzle end 1 can ensure the fixing effect. At the same time, the first and second steps are only insertion processes, which does not affect the installation efficiency and can increase the fixing effect.

[0053] Preferably, for the above embodiment, at least two groups of insert blocks 15 and corresponding slots 14 are provided. When at least two insert blocks 15 are installed in the slots 14, the nozzle end 1 can be fixed in the Z-axis direction after the first operation.

[0054] Example 3:

[0055] Based on Example 1, Figure 2 As shown, arc-shaped openings that fit with the side surfaces of the nozzle tail 2 are reserved on the opposite surfaces of the transverse support plate 4 and the nozzle tail fixing plate 5.

[0056] In this embodiment, the nozzle tail 2 is first inserted into the half of the arc-shaped opening on the side of the horizontal support plate 4, and then the arc-shaped opening of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 is used to stick to the other half of the nozzle tail 2. The arc-shaped opening can increase the contact area between the horizontal support plate 4 and the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 and the nozzle tail 2 to achieve preliminary fixation.

[0057] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the opposite surfaces of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 and the horizontal support plate 4 are respectively provided with a first L-shaped clamping plate 11 and a second L-shaped clamping plate 12 that are relatively clamped together. A positioning block 10 is provided in any groove of the first L-shaped clamping plate 11 and the second L-shaped clamping plate 12, and a connecting hole that fits with the positioning block 10 is provided in the other groove. The positioning block 10 is clamped and matched with the connecting hole to fix one end of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5; the other end of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 is fixed to the horizontal support plate 4 by a first fixing bolt 6.

[0058] In this embodiment, a first L-shaped card plate 11 and a second L-shaped card plate 12 that are relatively connected are provided on one side, and a positioning block 10 is provided in any one of the relative grooves of the two L-shaped card plates, and a connecting hole is provided on the other, which can be a through hole. In this embodiment, the positioning block 10 is provided on the second L-shaped card plate 12. By connecting the positioning block 10 to the connecting hole, one side of the opposite surface of the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 and the horizontal support plate 4 is fixed, and the other side only needs to be fixed by the first fixing bolt 6. The advantage of this embodiment is that only one first fixing bolt 6 is required, which can save installation time.

[0059] More specifically, the positioning block 10 is a cylinder, which allows the nozzle tail fixing plate 5 and one side of the transverse support plate 4 to rotate, and there is no need to remove the entire nozzle tail fixing plate 5 during replacement and maintenance.

[0060] Example 4:

[0061] See also Figure 5 , based on any of the above embodiments, further comprising a frame 17, an XZ axis moving part 18 and a Y axis moving part 19, wherein,

[0062] The XZ axis moving part 18 faces the production line, and the XZ axis moving part 18 is integrally fixedly connected to the glue coating quick-install structure through the mounting back plate 9;

[0063] The Y-axis moving part 19 is located at the bottom of the frame 17, and the frame 17 is slidably mounted on the guide rail;

[0064] The system further includes motors for driving the XZ-axis moving portion 18 and the Y-axis moving portion 19 and a control unit for driving the motors. The control unit may be a PLC.

[0065] The motion control in three directions of XYZ is set by the control unit to meet the gluing process of any gluing trajectory.

[0066] Of course, a visual detection part may also be included, and the visual detection part may be installed on the gluing quick-install structure.

[0067] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art will be able to make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here.
