Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radar manufacturing technology, and in particular to an aging device. Background Technology

[0002] Radar production requires high-temperature aging tests. Current technology typically uses aging devices for automatic aging. However, the aging process usually takes at least 3 hours. This means that if the aging device is full, production must be put on standby and manual labor is required to replenish the products after aging is complete, which reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aging device to solve the problem that the aging device is in standby mode when the number of products it is set to meet is full.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The first conveyor belt can convey the radar to the flipping component, and the flipping component can clamp the radar on the first conveyor belt and flip it.

[0008] The transport mechanism is capable of transporting the radar to be aged, which is conveyed upstream, to the first conveyor belt for temporary storage, or transporting the radar to be aged, which is conveyed upstream and on the flipping assembly, to the fixing fixture for fixation.

[0009] In some embodiments, the off-line conveying mechanism further includes a flipping component disposed at one end of the first conveyor belt, the flipping component being capable of clamping the radar on the first conveyor belt and flipping it.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly includes a rotating support plate, two rotating support plates are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the first conveyor belt, a rotating shaft is connected between the rotating support plates, the rotating shaft is connected to the output end of a rotating drive member, a clamping drive member is disposed on the rotating shaft, and a gripper is disposed at the output end of the clamping drive member, the gripper being capable of clamping the radar on the first conveyor belt.

[0011] In some embodiments, a positioning monitoring element is provided on the first conveyor belt, the positioning monitoring element is signal-connected to the flipping assembly, and the positioning monitoring element monitors the radar position of the first conveyor belt.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fixing fixture includes a fixing base, on which a probe plug that mates with the radar is provided, and a fixing component is also provided on the fixing base, which can fix or loosen the radar connected to the probe plug.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly includes a bearing seat spaced apart on one side of the probe plug. The bearing seat is provided with a stop member and a first elastic member. The stop member moves on the bearing seat in a direction toward or away from the probe plug. The first elastic member connects the stop member and the bearing seat, causing the stop member to tend to move toward the probe plug.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly further includes a retaining strip and a rotating pin. The retaining strip and the shaft seat are located on opposite sides of the probe plug. The rotating pin is disposed between a first end and a second end of the retaining strip. The retaining strip is connected to the fixing seat via the rotating pin.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0041] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application provides an aging device for aging radar 10. The aging device includes an aging chamber 1, an off-line conveying mechanism 3, and a transport mechanism 4. The off-line conveying mechanism 3 includes a first conveyor belt 31 and a flipping component 32. The flipping component 32 is disposed at one end of the first conveyor belt 31. The first conveyor belt 31 can convey radar 10 to the flipping component 32. The flipping component 32 can clamp radar 10 on the first conveyor belt 31 and flip it. The transport mechanism 4 can transport radar 10 to be aged from upstream to the first conveyor belt 31 for temporary storage, or transport radar 10 to be aged from upstream and on the flipping component 32 to the fixing fixture 2 for fixing.

[0043] When a radar 10 that needs to be aged is delivered from upstream, it can be transported to the fixed fixture 2 by the transport mechanism 4 and then fixed for aging. If there is no spare fixed fixture 2, the radar 10 to be aged can be placed on the first conveyor belt 31 for temporary storage by the transport mechanism 4, so that the production process can be stopped without interruption and the need to wait due to the lack of spare fixed fixture 2 can be avoided. When a spare fixture is available, the transport mechanism 4 can transport the radar 10 to be aged temporarily stored in the flipping component 32 to the fixed fixture 2 for aging, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0044] When the transport mechanism 4 places excess radars 10 to be aged on the first conveyor belt 31, the radars 10 are generally placed horizontally for stability. However, when the radars 10 need to be aged, they need to be fixed vertically. In order to facilitate reversal and reduce the complexity of the transport mechanism 4, when the radars 10 need to be transferred, the first conveyor belt 31 transports the radars 10 to the flipping assembly 32. The flipping assembly 32 clamps the radars 10 on the first conveyor belt 31 and flips them over. Then, the transport mechanism 4 directly transports them to the fixing fixture 2 for fixation.

[0045] In addition, to avoid the radar 10 overlapping when placed on the first conveyor belt 31, the placement position of the radar 10 can be adjusted by the conveying function of the first conveyor belt 31, thereby reducing the frequent adjustments of the conveying mechanism 4.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the aging device includes a first feeding mechanism 5. The first feeding mechanism 5 receives the radar 10 to be aged from the upstream and acquires the radar 10 information for easy traceability. The first feeding mechanism 5 may include components such as a conveyor belt and a barcode scanner, which are existing technologies and their specific structures will not be described in detail. After the first feeding mechanism 5 completes information collection, the transport mechanism 4 can select to transport the device to the fixed fixture 2 for aging based on the availability of the fixed fixture 2, or transport it to the first conveyor belt 31 for temporary storage.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the aging chamber 1 includes several drawers 11, each drawer 11 containing multiple fixing fixtures 2. Each fixing fixture 2 includes a fixing base 21, on which a probe plug 22 is mounted to cooperate with the radar 10, allowing the radar 10 to be inserted into the probe plug 22 from top to bottom for normal aging operation. The probe plug 22 is prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. The fixing base 21 also includes a fixing component 23, which can fix or loosen the radar 10 connected to the probe plug 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection during aging testing and allowing it to be loosened after aging for easy removal by the handling mechanism 4.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the fixing assembly 23 includes a bearing 231, which is spaced apart from the probe plug 22. A receiving groove 232 is provided on the side of the bearing 231 facing the probe plug 22. The opening of the receiving groove 232 is horizontally facing the probe plug 22. The groove wall of the receiving groove 232 is provided with a sliding groove extending towards or away from the probe plug 22. A stop member 233 is provided within the receiving groove 232, slidingly engaged within the sliding groove. A first elastic member 234 is also provided between the stop member 233 and the bearing 231, which keeps the stop member 233 inclined towards the probe plug 22. Therefore, when the radar 10 is plugged into the probe plug 22, the stop member 233, under the action of the first elastic member 234, abuts against the radar 10, securing it firmly on the probe plug 22. Exemplarily, the abutment member 233 includes an abutment seat 2331, which slides on a groove. A first elastic member 234 connects the abutment seat 2331 and the shaft seat 231. The abutment seat 2331 can move closer to or further away from the probe plug 22. A bearing 2332 is rotatably connected to the abutment seat 2331, so that the movement of the abutment seat 2331 drives the bearing 2332 to move closer to or further away from the probe plug 22. The bearing 2332 facilitates the insertion and removal of the radar 10. Exemplarily, the first elastic member 234 is a spring.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fixing component 23 further includes a retaining strip 235 and a rotating pin 236. The rotating pin 236 is disposed between the first end and the second end of the retaining strip 235. The retaining strip 235 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 21 through the rotating pin 236. The retaining strip 235 and the shaft seat 231 are located on opposite sides of the probe plug 22. A second elastic element 237 is connected between the first end of the retaining strip 235 and the fixing seat 21. Since the side of the radar 10 has a limiting groove (this is the prior art), when the radar 10 contacts the probe plug 22, the radar 10 is pressed down to abut the second end of the retaining strip 235. As the second end of the retaining strip 235 is pressed down, the retaining strip 235 will be embedded in the limiting groove. Thus, the second end of the retaining strip 235 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove through the second elastic element 237, further pressing the radar 10 and making the radar 10 and the probe plug 22 in close contact. Applying force to the first end of the locking strip 235 allows it to approach the fixing seat 21. The first end compresses the second elastic element 237 to accumulate potential energy. At the same time, the second end of the locking strip 235 moves away from the fixing seat 21, allowing the second end of the locking strip 235 to detach from the groove wall of the limiting groove. This allows the radar 10 to be easily pulled out and quickly detached from the probe plug 22. Subsequently, the locking strip 235 can return to its original position through the second elastic element 237.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the corresponding transport mechanism 4 includes a transport drive 41 and a transport manipulator 42 disposed at the output end of the transport drive 41. The transport drive 41 drives the transport manipulator 42 to move between various mechanisms. The transport manipulator 42 can grip and transport the radar 10. The transport drive 41 and the transport manipulator 42 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The transport manipulator 42 is also provided with an opening member 43 that can abut against the first end of the retaining strip 235. When it is necessary to detach the radar 10 from the probe plug 22, the opening member 43 abuts against the first end of the retaining strip 235, and the transport manipulator 42 grasps the radar 10 and moves it away from the probe plug 22. Specifically, the opening member 43 includes a telescopic drive 431 disposed on the transport manipulator 42. The output end of the telescopic drive 431 is connected to an abutment shaft 432, so that the telescopic drive 431 can selectively drive the abutment shaft 432 to abut against the retaining strip 235 only when the radar 10 is detached.

[0051] like Figure 6As shown, the flipping assembly 32 includes a rotating support plate 321. Two rotating support plates 321 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the first conveyor belt 31. The rotating support plate 321 is provided with a rotating shaft 322, which spans across the top of the first conveyor belt 31. The rotating support plate 321 is also provided with a rotation drive 325. The rotating shaft 322 is connected to the output end of the rotation drive 325, so that the rotating shaft 322 is driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 322 is provided with a clamping drive 323. The output end of the clamping drive 323 is connected to a gripper 324 that can clamp the radar 10. So that the radar 10, which is horizontally placed on the first conveyor belt 31, is clamped by the gripper 324, and then the rotation of the gripper 324 is driven to make it vertical, waiting for the transport mechanism 4 to transport it. After transport, it is vertically inserted into the probe plug 22. For example, the rotation drive 325 is a rotary cylinder or a rotary motor, the clamping drive 323 is a clamping cylinder, and the structure of the gripper 324 is not specifically limited and can be selected according to different radars 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flipping component 32 is disposed at one end of the first conveyor belt 31 near the handling mechanism 4, thereby facilitating the handling mechanism 4 to pick up and remove the components.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, a position monitoring element 33 is further provided on the first conveyor belt 31. The position monitoring element 33 is signal-connected to the flipping assembly 32, thereby monitoring the position of the radar 10 on the first conveyor belt 31 and providing a basis for the activation of the flipping assembly 32. Exemplarily, the position monitoring element 33 may be, but is not limited to, an infrared monitoring element.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the aging device also includes an NG conveying mechanism 7 and a unloading mechanism 8. The conveying mechanism 4 can move the unqualified radar 10 after aging from the fixed fixture 2 to the NG conveying mechanism 7; and move the qualified ones to the unloading mechanism 8 for unloading. The NG conveying mechanism 7 and the unloading mechanism 8 are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the aging device further includes a programming mechanism 9. The programming mechanism 9 can provide additional programming functions for the radar 10 that needs to be programmed. In the current embodiment, the radar 10 that has been repaired after NG (outdated) can be placed on the programming mechanism 9 for programming, and then transported to the fixing fixture 2 by the transport mechanism 4. If there is no spare fixing fixture 2, it can be temporarily stored on the first conveyor belt 31 by the transport mechanism 4, waiting for aging test. The programming mechanism 9 is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the aging apparatus further includes a second feeding mechanism 6, which includes a second conveyor belt and a pre-fixing fixture. The pre-fixing fixture is fixed on the second conveyor belt. The transport mechanism 4 can transport the radar 10 fixed in the pre-fixing fixture to the fixing fixture 2 inside the aging chamber 1. The first feeding mechanism 5 corresponds to the upstream automatic feeding. The second feeding mechanism 6 corresponds to manual feeding, whereby the operator inserts the radar 10 into the pre-fixing fixture, which is then transported by the transport mechanism 4, increasing the feeding pathways. In the current embodiment, the pre-fixing fixture and the fixing fixture 2 have the same structure.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
