Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive tooling technology, specifically to an automatic detection device for bracket installation. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive glass is an essential component of a car body, primarily serving a protective function. There are three main types of automotive glass: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass, all capable of withstanding strong impacts. Automotive glass is also categorized by its location: windshield, side windows, rear windshield, and sunroof.

[0003] In the traditional automotive glass manufacturing process, a bracket needs to be installed on the glass. After the bracket is installed, the installation needs to be inspected. Existing methods rely on fixed cameras or visual inspection, which are not very effective. The fixed camera angles can lead to discrepancies when comparing images with database images, resulting in a lack of flexibility. Therefore, we have proposed a new inspection device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0026] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0027] In related technologies, during the production and processing of traditional automotive glass, a bracket needs to be installed on the glass. After the bracket is installed, the installation of the bracket needs to be inspected. Existing methods of inspection are to use fixed cameras or visual observation, but the inspection effect is not very good. The angle of the photo is fixed, and there will be deviations when comparing it with images in the database, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0028] To address some of the problems in the related technologies, this application provides an automatic detection device for bracket installation. When needed, the clamp 152 for mounting the bracket workpiece and the industrial camera 154 are simply mounted on the same fixed frame 15 and moved together with the fixed frame 15, increasing flexibility.

[0029] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0030] Combination Figures 1-3This application provides an automatic detection device for bracket installation, including an installation component 1; the installation component 1 includes: a workbench 11 with a support frame 12 on its top; a robotic arm 13 disposed on the top of the workbench 11; a fixing frame 15 disposed at the tail end of the robotic arm 13; a gripper 152 disposed on the outer side wall of the fixing frame 15; a cylinder 151 disposed on the top of the gripper 152; and an industrial camera 154 disposed on one side of the fixing frame 15.

[0031] In use, the glass is placed on the support frame 12 of the workbench 11. Then, the robotic arm 13 controls the gripper 152 on the fixed frame 15 through the cylinder 151 to grab the bracket workpiece coated with glue and place it on the glass for fixation. The industrial camera 154, which is fixed to the fixed frame 15 together with the gripper 152, takes pictures of the bracket installation as the robotic arm 13 and the fixed frame 15 move, and then compares them with the database pictures to see if they meet the standards.

[0032] Specifically, robotic arm 13 is a traditional six-joint robotic arm.

[0033] In some embodiments, a material rack 16 is provided on the top of the workbench 11. The material rack 16 is used to place the support workpieces to be installed, facilitating the gripping of the clamps 152.

[0034] In some embodiments, a vibratory feeder is provided on one side of the material rack 16 to cooperate with the material rack 16. The vibratory feeder assists the material rack 16 in feeding materials. The vibratory feeder generates vibration through devices such as frequency converters and motors, causing the workpieces in the hopper to rise on the spiral track until they are conveyed to the discharge port. This is the prior art.

[0035] In some embodiments, a fill light 155 is provided at the bottom of the industrial camera 154 to cooperate with the industrial camera 154. The fill light 155 is to avoid poor lighting when the industrial camera 154 is taking pictures.

[0036] Specifically, the fill light 155 is a ring-shaped LED light.

[0037] In some embodiments, a support rod 17 is provided on the top of the workbench 11, and an adhesive applicator 18 is provided on the top of the support rod 17. The adhesive applicator 18 is used to apply adhesive to the support workpiece and is a common glue spray gun, which is existing technology.

[0038] In some embodiments, the top of the workbench 11 is provided with a clamp 14 that engages with the support rod 17, and the top of the fixing frame 15 is provided with a connector 153 that engages with the clamp 14. The fixing frame 15 is fixed to the clamp 14 by means of the connector 153 in a threaded manner, and is fixed to the support rod 17 and the workbench 11 by the clamp 14.

[0039] Specifically, the shape of the clamp 14 matches the shape of the support rod 17, which is used to fix the fixing frame 15 on the support rod 17 for gluing work, reducing the gluing time of the light strip and improving production efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments, a placement rack 111 is provided on one side of the workbench 11. The placement rack 111 is for convenient placement of the processed glass.

[0041] In some embodiments, a negative pressure suction cup is provided on the top of the placement rack 111 and the support rack 12. The placement rack 111 and the support rack 12 fix the glass by the negative pressure suction cup. The suction cup is typically composed of a disc-shaped structure made of rubber or plastic with a vacuum chamber inside. When the suction cup comes into contact with an object, it communicates with the atmosphere through a small hole on the suction cup, and then air is drawn out from inside the suction cup to form a vacuum negative pressure, thereby tightly adhering the suction cup to the object.

[0042] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," and "some examples" indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0043] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.
