Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of component assembly, pressing and positioning, and in particular to a pressing and positioning device for assembling aerospace components. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly of aerospace components, clamping and positioning play a crucial role, ensuring assembly precision and position accuracy. Clamping securely holds components in their designed positions, preventing them from shifting during assembly due to external forces or gravity. This is particularly important for aerospace components, as even the slightest positional deviation can impact the performance and safety of the entire spacecraft. Dimensional accuracy control, through clamping and positioning, effectively controls assembly clearances and dimensional accuracy between components. Aerospace components typically require extremely high dimensional accuracy to ensure overall spacecraft performance and reliability and enhance the reliability of mechanical connections. For aerospace components using mechanical fastening methods such as bolts and rivets, clamping and positioning increases contact pressure at the joint, improving friction and shear resistance, thereby enhancing joint reliability and ensuring weld quality. During the welded assembly of aerospace components, clamping and positioning ensures a tight fit, ensuring uniform heat transfer during welding and reducing weld defects.

[0003] During the assembly process of some aerospace parts, positioning and pressing are required to assist in installation. However, the existing positioning assembly mechanism cannot press parts of different diameters. In addition, during the pressing process of some positioning and pressing mechanisms, if the parts are not preliminarily fixed, the parts may be subjected to the misaligned extrusion force during operation, resulting in positioning misalignment, thereby reducing the accuracy. Based on this, a pressing and positioning device for the assembly of aerospace parts is proposed. Utility Model Content

The other ends are connected to high-precision solenoid valves 21, and annular tubes 8 are fixedly installed inside the two sliding seats 9. One side of the annular tube 8 is connected to the nozzle 10. The bottom of the movable seat 17 is fixedly installed with an electrically controlled clamping mechanism 20. The top of the shell 1 is fixedly installed with a top plate 4. The inner side of the top plate 4 is movably penetrated and sleeved with a number of annular hollow frames 5. The bottom of the annular hollow frame 5 is fixedly installed with a number of electrically controlled hydraulic telescopic columns 24. The bottom end of the electrically controlled hydraulic telescopic column 24 is fixedly installed inside the shell 1, and a hollow bracket 25 is fixedly installed inside the annular hollow frame 5. The bottom of the annular hollow frame 5 is connected with an air suction hose 22, and the interior of the air suction hose 22 is connected with an electromagnetic valve 1 23. The end of the air suction hose 22 away from the annular hollow frame 5 is connected with an air suction pump 21, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 1. The top of the annular hollow frame 5 is connected with a number of silicone soft suction heads 6, and the outside of the shell 1 is fixedly installed with a control panel 2.

[0020] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: when in use, the user places the mechanism that needs to be compressed on the top of the annular hollow frame 5, and then starts the air suction pump 21 to extract the air flow inside the annular hollow frame 5 through the air suction hose 22, thereby applying an adsorption force to the positioning mechanism through the silicone soft suction head 6, thereby preliminarily fixing the compression mechanism, and then clamping and compressing other installation mechanisms through the electric-controlled compression clamping mechanism 20. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the electric-controlled compression clamping mechanism 20, such as starting the air delivery pump 18, the air flow is introduced into the high-precision solenoid valve 2 11 through the air delivery hose 12, and the high-precision solenoid valve 2 11 is opened and closed. The air flow is introduced into the interior of the annular tube 8, and the air flow is ejected through the annular tube 8 and the nozzle 10 to apply a force to the sliding seat 9. The sliding seat 9 moves under the rolling support of the ball 26 and the annular slide rail 7, and then the high-precision screw 14 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 19. The high-precision screw 14 applies a threaded transmission force to the moving seat 17.

The annular hollow frame 5 presents a structural form of a large ring nested in a small ring, and the combination of multiple annular hollow frames 5 is distributed. The electric-controlled hydraulic telescopic columns 24 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the annular hollow frame 5 in a circular manner, and the silicone soft suction heads 6 are evenly distributed on the top of the annular hollow frame 5 in a circular manner.

[0028] The utility model adopts the ring-type design of multiple annular hollow frames 5. When parts of different sizes are placed on the top of the annular hollow frame 5, the multiple annular hollow frames 5 and the silicone soft suction head 6 exert adsorption force on the bottom of the parts, which is convenient for fixing parts of different sizes. The height of different annular hollow frames 5 can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the electric-controlled hydraulic telescopic column 24, which is convenient for changing the height of the annular hollow frame 5 at the annular parts and positions where adsorption is not required. In addition, the suction hose 22 and the solenoid valve 23 are added to control the suction flow, which is convenient for coordinating and controlling different annular hollow frames 5 and the silicone soft suction head 6 to generate suction, facilitates the pressing and fixing operations of assembly clamping, and increases the overall convenience.

[0029] In another embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an image acquisition camera and an infrared sensor are fixedly installed on the bottom of the movable base 17.
