Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing, and in particular to cylinder head processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The cylinder head is an important component of a car engine. It is mounted on top of the cylinder block, seals the cylinder from above, and forms the combustion chamber. Because the cylinder head is frequently in contact with high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases, it bears a large thermal and mechanical load.

[0003] On existing production lines, QR codes are typically engraved on cylinder heads to facilitate traceability and streamline assembly line operations. Scanning the QR code reveals relevant information about the cylinder head and also serves as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Currently, the engraving process is usually completed on the assembly line. However, existing lines cannot automatically eliminate occasional instances of unclear QR code engravings, requiring manual scanning and screening. This is labor-intensive, and since manual handling is impossible, lifting equipment is still needed to move substandard cylinder heads.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to automatically exclude cylinder heads that fail to have their QR codes engraved. Utility Model Content

The fixed clamping platform is fixedly connected to the movable end of the robotic arm.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cylinder head feeding and marking device, including a robotic arm 1, a marking component 2 and a conveying component 3.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 The robotic arm 1 is capable of three-dimensional motion. The movable end of the robotic arm 1 is equipped with a clamping assembly 4, which includes a fixed clamping platform 41, a lifting clamping platform 42, a clamping drive element 43, a hook 44, a pressure bar 45, and a positioning pin 46. The clamping drive element 43 is a linear motion electric cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. The fixed clamping platform 41 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the robotic arm 1. The fixed end of the clamping drive element 43 is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping platform 41, and its output end is fixedly connected to the lifting clamping platform 42. The fixed clamping platform 41 has a limiting hole, and the two ends of the lifting clamping platform 42 are respectively equipped with connecting posts. The diameter of the connecting posts is smaller than the diameter of the limiting hole. The connecting posts are connected to the hook 44 through the limiting hole. The top end of the hook 44 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting post. Due to gravity, the hook 44 always remains upright. Since the hook 44 may deviate angularly during the process of hooking the cylinder head, the limiting hole can limit the deviating angle of the hook 44. Two pressure strips 45 are respectively disposed on both sides of the gripper and fixedly connected to the fixed clamping platform 41. The positioning pin 46 is connected to the fixed clamping platform 41 via a buffer spring. Due to the buffer spring, the positioning pin 46 will not damage the cylinder head structure. The clamping drive element 43 drives the hook 44 to approach or move away from the cylinder head. The extended hook 44 can hook onto the cylinder head, thereby transferring its position through the movement of the robotic arm 1. Furthermore, since the hook 44 always remains upright, there is no need to adjust its direction via the robotic arm 1, saving costs. The pressure strips 45 reduce the wobbling generated during cylinder head movement, thereby improving the safety of moving the cylinder head. The positioning pin 46 can position the cylinder head, thereby improving the positioning effect.

[0024] Please see Figure 3The stamping component 2 is located on one side of the conveying component 3. The conveying component 3 includes a conveying track 31, a conveying slide 32, and a support platform 33. The conveying slide 32 is driven by a driving element and slides at its upper limit on the conveying track 31. The support platform 33 is fixedly connected to the conveying slide 32. Support blocks 34 and positioning pins 35 are fixedly provided on the upper surface of the support platform 33. The support blocks 34 are evenly distributed on the support platform 33, and at least two positioning pins 35 are provided. The support platform 33 is provided with an airtightness detection device 36. The fixed end of the airtightness detection device 36 is fixedly connected to the support platform 33, and the air blowing end faces upward on the support platform 33. Since the air blowing end of the airtightness detection device 36 sprays air, it can not only perform airtightness detection on the cylinder head, but also blow away the iron filings at the bottom of the cylinder head. The engraving assembly 2 includes an engraving frame 21, a laser device 22, a scanning gun 23, and a scanning lifting element 24. Both the laser device 22 and the scanning lifting element 24 are fixedly mounted on the engraving frame 21. The fixed end of the scanning lifting element 24 is fixedly connected to the engraving frame 21, and its output end is fixedly connected to the scanning gun 23. The scanning gun 23 is positioned between the conveying assembly 3 and the laser device 22, with its receiving end facing the conveying assembly 3 and the emitting end of the laser device 22 also facing the conveying assembly 3. The emitting end of the laser device 22 is higher than the height of the support platform 33. The scanning lifting element 24 drives the receiving end of the scanning gun 23 to be parallel to the emitting end of the laser device 22.

[0025] The robotic arm 1, gripping assembly 4, marking assembly 2, and conveying assembly 3 are all communicatively connected. This embodiment also includes multiple sensors to identify whether the structure is in position.

[0026] Once the robotic arm 1 and clamping assembly 4 move the cylinder head above the support platform 33 and align the cylinder head positioning hole with the support block 34 and positioning pin 35, the air blowing end of the air tightness detection device 36 on the support platform 33 is activated to blow away the iron filings on the bottom surface of the cylinder head. After the cylinder head is placed in place on the support platform 33, the air tightness detection device 36 checks the air tightness of the cylinder head. If it is within the set range, the conveyor slide 32 smoothly transports the cylinder head to the front of the marking assembly 2 via the conveyor track 31. After the cylinder head is in place, the laser device 22 begins to mark the QR code. After marking is completed, the scanning gun 23 rises to a position flush with the laser device 22's emitting end via the scanning lifting element 24. The marking is then scanned by the barcode scanner to confirm whether the marking is correct. If correct, the robotic arm 1 and clamping assembly 4 pick up the cylinder head and place it in the qualified product area; if not, the cylinder head is picked up and placed in the NG area.

[0027] In order to identify the cylinder head type, in this embodiment, preferably, the movable end of the robotic arm 1 is fixedly equipped with a vision inspection device 5, which identifies the cylinder head type and adjusts the engraved QR code accordingly.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
