Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnector assembly technology, and in particular to a disconnector assembly loop device and a disconnector assembly human-machine interaction system. Background Technology

[0002] GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) is a metal-enclosed switchgear that uses gas, either wholly or partially, instead of air at atmospheric pressure, as the insulating medium. It consists of various high-voltage electrical components, including circuit breakers, busbars, disconnecting switches, voltage transformers, current transformers, surge arresters, and bushings. The disconnecting switch is a crucial component of the GIS, and its assembly quality and efficiency significantly impact the overall performance of the equipment.

[0003] In the traditional manufacturing process of disconnecting switches, logistics and assembly mainly rely on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency. With the rapid development of automation technology, the high-voltage switchgear manufacturing industry is gradually transforming towards automation and intelligence. However, in the assembly process of disconnecting switches, due to the close fit of internal components, robots cannot independently complete the sub-assembly of all disconnecting switch parts and the overall assembly of the disconnecting switch. Therefore, it is necessary to add manual sub-assembly to the robotic assembly process, forming a human-machine interactive intelligent assembly production line. This enables intelligent assembly of disconnecting switches, improves the flexibility and adaptability of the production line, reduces the workload of manual operations, lowers labor costs, significantly improves production efficiency, and shortens the production cycle. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disconnector assembly loop device to reduce the amount of manual operation during the disconnector assembly process and improve production efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the disconnector assembly loop device of this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A disconnector switch assembly loop device includes a loading / unloading line, a parts transfer line, a manual assembly line, a package transfer line, and a material tray. The loading / unloading line, parts transfer line, manual assembly line, and package transfer line are arranged sequentially to form a loop. The loading / unloading line is used for robotic loading and unloading of manually assembled packages. Each loading / unloading line and manual assembly line includes a support base, and the support base is equipped with a lifting and rotating device. Each parts transfer line and package transfer line includes a support base, and the support base is equipped with a transmission device to drive a tray transfer trolley mounted on the support base to reciprocate along the length of the support base. The material tray can slide on the support base via a power component mounted on the support base. The material tray can be transferred across the assembly line via the power component mounted on the tray transfer trolley.

[0007] Furthermore, the power component is a bevel gear friction power device component.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission device provided on the support base is a rodless linear cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the support base is equipped with a limit switch to detect the running position of the material tray in order to control the opening and closing of the corresponding power components.

[0012] Furthermore, the pallet transfer trolley is slidably engaged with the support base via a slider-rail mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the support base is equipped with a position detection device to control the lifting support rotation device to rise according to the position of the material pallet.

[0014] Furthermore, the loading and unloading lines and the manual packaging line are equipped with protective covers on both sides along their length.

[0015] Beneficial Effects: This utility model of a disconnect switch assembly loop device is a pioneering invention. With this design, the loading and unloading lines can be positioned close to the robot for robot-operated loading and unloading of manually assembled components. A parts transfer line transfers materials from the loading and unloading lines to the manual assembly line.

The lifting and supporting rotary device lifts the material tray to achieve tray positioning. The rotation of the lifting and supporting rotary device allows for the assembly of components from different angles. After manual assembly, the components are returned to the loading and unloading lines via the assembly transfer line, where the robot completes the unloading. This utility model of a disconnect switch assembly loop device integrates the loading and unloading lines, parts transfer line, manual assembly line, and assembly transfer line to form a complete production loop. It enables collaborative work between robots and operators, ensuring assembly quality, improving work efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0016] The human-machine interface system for assembling the disconnector switch of this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0017] A human-machine interface system for assembling disconnect switches includes a manual assembly loop and a robotic assembly line. The manual assembly loop is a disconnect switch assembly loop device, which includes a loading / unloading line, a parts transfer line, a manual assembly line, a sub-assembly body transfer line, and a material tray.

[0038] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0039] An embodiment of the disconnector switch assembly loop device of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] The present invention relates to a disconnector switch assembly loop device that utilizes a robot for assembly and setup, and for docking and transferring power components to reduce manual labor and improve work efficiency.

[0041] As a basic solution, the disconnector assembly loop device of this utility model includes a loading and unloading line 101, a parts material transfer line 102, a manual disassembly line 103, a disassembled body transfer line 104, and a material tray 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the loading / unloading line 101, the parts material transfer line 102, the manual assembly line 103, and the assembled body transfer line 104 are arranged in a loop. The loading / unloading line 101 is used for robot-operated loading and manual assembly of assembled bodies unloading. Both the loading / unloading line 101 and the manual assembly line 103 include a support base 1. The support base 1 is equipped with a lifting support rotation device 2, providing a stable support platform to ensure the stable operation of the lifting support rotation device 2. The lifting support rotation device 2 realizes the lifting and rotation functions of the material pallet 3, facilitating manual assembly and robot clamping for loading and unloading, improving material handling efficiency and positioning accuracy, enhancing the automation and intelligence of the production line, and increasing production efficiency. Figure 8As shown, the material pallet 3 includes a base plate 31, a special tooling support 32, and a robot operating handle 33. The base plate 31 of the material pallet 3 is used to carry materials, the special tooling support 32 is used to support special tooling, facilitating the operator's use of special tooling for assembly and the robot's gripping of materials, and the robot operating handle 33 facilitates the handling of materials. The material pallet 3 can be transmitted to the parts material transfer line 102 or the sub-assembly body transfer line 104 via a power component mounted on the support base 1. The power component provides power support for the material pallet 3 to be transmitted on the loading / unloading line 101 and the manual sub-assembly line 103, driving the material pallet 3 to be transmitted stably and efficiently along a set trajectory; as Figure 5 As shown, the parts material transfer line 102 and the sub-packaging transfer line 104 each include a support base 5. The support base 5 provides a stable support foundation for the entire parts material transfer line 102. A pallet transfer trolley 6 is mounted on the support base 5 to facilitate flexible material transfer. The support base 5 is equipped with a transmission device to drive the pallet transfer trolley 6 to reciprocate along the length of the support base 5. The pallet transfer trolley 6 is equipped with a power component to realize the transfer of material pallets 3 between the loading / unloading line 101 and the manual sub-packaging line 103. Figure 7 As shown, the pallet transfer trolley 6 includes a support body 61 for mounting the power unit and placing material pallets. The pallet transfer trolley 6 includes a bevel gear 62 for transmitting power between the bevel gear friction power unit 7 and the pallet transfer trolley 6.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the power component is a bevel gear friction power device assembly 7, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the bevel gear friction power unit assembly 7 includes a servo motor 71 and bevel gears 72. Multiple bevel gears are arranged to form a bevel gear friction line. The servo motor 71 and the bevel gear friction line work together to transmit power. The servo motor 71 acts as a power source, providing rotational motion; the bevel gear friction line acts as a transmission mechanism, converting the rotational motion into linear motion and driving the material tray 3 to move on the loop device. The servo motor 71 provides precise and controllable power output to the bevel gear friction line, enabling it to precisely adjust its speed according to the instructions of the control system, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the material tray 3 during transmission. The servo motor 71 features high efficiency and low energy consumption, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. In other embodiments, other types of motors can also be used as power sources, such as DC motors, stepper motors, or AC motors. The bevel gear friction line is a roller conveyor designed based on the bevel gear transmission principle, consisting of multiple rollers. The bevel gear transmission principle features high torque. The bevel gear friction line, as the output end of the servo motor, converts the rotational motion of the servo motor into the linear motion of the material tray 3, realizing the transmission of materials. The bevel friction line generates less noise during operation, which helps to improve the working environment.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission device on the support base 5 is a rodless linear cylinder 8. The rodless linear cylinder 8 converts the energy of compressed air or other gases into mechanical energy to achieve linear motion. In the disconnector assembly loop device of this invention, the rodless linear cylinder 8 drives the material tray 3 or related components to move stably and efficiently along a linear trajectory on the support base 5. In other embodiments, a ball screw driven by a servo motor, a linear motor, or other similar devices can also be used as the transmission device.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, position sensors 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the support base 5 along its length to control the opening and closing of the transmission device of the pallet transfer trolley 6. The position sensor 9 is a non-contact position detection sensor that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect the position of a metal object. The position sensor 9 on the support base 5 is used to detect whether the material pallet 3 has reached the predetermined position and transmits the position signal to the control system. The system then sends instructions to the transmission device to ensure the accuracy of the assembly process.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the support base 5 has limiting blocks 10 at both ends along its length to limit the maximum movement distance of the pallet transfer trolley 6, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this prevents the device from falling off the support base 5 beyond a predetermined range, ensuring the safe operation of the production line. Setting the position of the limit block 10 improves assembly accuracy and efficiency. In other embodiments, electronic limiters or mechanical stops can also be used; however, the limit block 10 has advantages over electronic limiters and mechanical stops, such as simple structure, low cost, and ease of installation and maintenance.

[0046] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, a limit switch 11 is provided at one end of the support base 1 to detect the running position of the material tray 3, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the corresponding power components. The working principle of the limit switch 11 is generally based on mechanical contact or sensing principles. When the material tray 3 touches the contact of the limit switch 11, the contact will displace or deform, thereby triggering a change in the internal circuit of the switch and generating an electrical signal for transmission. In the disconnector assembly loop device and disconnector assembly human-machine interface system of this utility model, the limit switch 11 is used to detect the running position of the material tray 3 and send a signal when it reaches the predetermined position. This signal is transmitted to the control system to control the lifting support slewing device 2 to rise. The presence of the limit switch 11 provides a safety guarantee for the operation of the loop device.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the pallet transfer trolley 6 is slidably engaged with the support base 5 via a slider-rail mechanism 12. The slider-rail mechanism 12 includes a slider and a guide rail. The slider slides on the support base 5 via a transmission device to move the material pallet 3 on the pallet transfer trolley 6 along the guide rail. The support base 5 provides stable support and guidance for the slider-rail mechanism 12, ensuring smooth and accurate sliding. Through the sliding of the slider-rail mechanism 12 in conjunction with the transmission device, rapid and accurate movement of materials or components on the device between designated positions can be achieved, improving work efficiency. In other embodiments, other sliding components, such as rollers, can also be used. Compared to rollers, the slider-rail mechanism 12 is more stable, reliable, and flexible.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the support base 1 is equipped with a position detection device 4, which controls the lifting support rotation device 2 to rise according to the position of the material pallet 3. After the position detection device 4 detects the material pallet, it transmits a signal to the control system, which controls the lifting support rotation device 2 to raise and lower, making it convenient and reliable for the packaging personnel to operate the lifting support rotation device 2.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the workstation return line assembly is provided with protective covers 13 on both sides along its length. The main function of the protective covers 13 is to protect the assembly from interference and damage from the external environment, while ensuring the safety of the operators. The protective covers 13 can effectively prevent dust, oil, and other impurities from entering the workstation return line assembly, keeping the assembly clean and operating normally.

[0050] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the robot places the material on the material tray 3 of the robot loading position 14 on the loading / unloading line 101, as follows: Figure 3As shown, the material pallet 3 moves on the loading / unloading line 101 using the bevel gear friction power device assembly 7. Under the action of the bevel gear friction power device assembly 7 on the pallet transfer trolley 6, the material pallet 3 is transferred from the loading / unloading line 101 across the line to the pallet transfer trolley 6 on the parts material transfer line 102. After the material pallet 3 arrives at the parts material transfer line 102, the positioning sensor 9 sends a signal to the PLC control panel, activating the rodless linear cylinder 8. The rodless linear cylinder 8 drives the pallet transfer trolley 6 and the material pallet 3 to move closer to one end of the manual dispensing line 103 with the cooperation of the slider-rail mechanism 12. Under the action of the bevel gear friction power device assembly 7 on the pallet transfer trolley 6, the material pallet 3 moves from the parts material transfer line 101 to the end of the manual dispensing line 103. 2. The material pallet is transferred to the manual assembly line 103. After the position detection device 4 detects the material pallet, it transmits a signal to the PLC control panel. The control panel starts the lifting support rotation device 2 to position the material pallet 3 to the manual assembly station 15 set on the manual assembly line 103. The personnel at the assembly station confirm the position and manually assemble the material. If necessary, the personnel at the assembly station take the parts to the operating table 16 for assembly. After the assembly is completed, the parts are sent back. After the manual assembly is completed, the assembled body arrives at the buffer station 17 set on the manual assembly line 103. The material pallet 3 carrying the assembled body then returns to the robot unloading station 18 set on the loading and unloading line 101 via the assembly body transfer line 104. The assembled body is then removed from the line, and the robot completes the assembly of the other parts.

[0051] An embodiment of the human-machine interaction system for assembling the disconnector switch of this utility model is as follows:

[0052] A disconnector switch is equipped with a human-machine interface system, such as Figure 10 As shown, it includes a manual sub-assembly loop 001, a robot 002, and a robot final assembly line 003. The manual sub-assembly loop device is a disconnect switch assembly loop device. An embodiment of the disconnect switch assembly loop device has been described above and will not be repeated here.
