Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the embodiments of this utility model include:

[0026] A car skirt assembly and processing equipment includes a cam divider rotary table 1, skirt fixtures 2, a manual feeding window 3, a six-axis robot 1 4, a six-axis robot 2 5, and a six-axis robot 3 6. Four skirt fixtures 2 are suspended on the edge of the cam divider rotary table 1 to form corresponding workstations. Each workstation is sequentially equipped with a manual feeding window 3, a six-axis robot 1 4 equipped with a glue applicator 7, a six-axis robot 2 5 equipped with a tape applicator 5a, and a six-axis robot 3 6 equipped with several pneumatic grippers. Each skirt fixture 2 is equipped with a contouring base 8, and several pre-pressing blocks 9 are matched on the surface of the contouring base 8.

[0027] The pre-compression block 9 is integrated on a first flipping shaft 11 driven by a rotary cylinder 10. The skirt board fixture 2 is mounted on a second flipping shaft 13 driven by a reduction motor 12. A flip cover 14 is provided on the second flipping shaft 13. A skirt board support contour seat 15 is provided on the flip cover 14. A negative pressure suction cup 16 is embedded in the skirt board support contour seat 15.

[0028] Furthermore, the contour base 8 is provided with several ventilation holes 17, and a hot air interface 18 communicating with the ventilation holes 17 is installed on the side of the contour base 8. A hot air fan is connected to the hot air interface 18, and the ventilation holes 17 are connected to the skirt support contour base 15.

[0029] Furthermore, the flip cover 14 is provided with an upper positioning block 20, and the skirt panel fixture 2 is provided with a lower positioning block 21. The upper positioning block 20 has a slot 22, and the lower positioning block 21 has a fitting part 23 that conforms to the slot 22. The inner wall of the slot 22 is provided with a pair of pulleys, and the fitting part 23 is fitted between the pulleys.

[0030] Furthermore, the skirt panel fixture 2 has a template 24 that supports the contour base 8. The template 24 is supported on a floating frame 25 by a pair of cooperating pins and pin sleeves. Lifting slides 26 are provided on both sides of the floating frame 25. Several supporting cylinders 27 are provided at the bottom of the floating frame 25. The supporting cylinders 27 are mounted on an outer frame 29. Z-axis rails 30 are provided on both sides of the outer frame 29. The lifting slides 26 are fitted on the Z-axis rails 30. The outer frame 29 is fixed on the cam divider rotary table 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the flip cover 14 has protruding pressing lugs 31 on both sides, and the pressing lugs 31 are matched with powerful welding clamping cylinders 32.

[0032] Furthermore, the six-axis robot 36 connects to a snap-on feeding vibratory feeder 34 via pneumatic grippers 33. The pneumatic grippers 33 are integrated at equal intervals on a disc support 35. A detection platform 36 is provided within the stroke range of the six-axis robot 36, and photoelectric sensors 37 corresponding to each pneumatic gripper 33 are provided on the detection platform 36. An outlet stop 37 is provided at the outlet of the snap-on feeding vibratory feeder 34. The outlet stop 37 has two cutting cavities. A cutting cylinder is connected to the outlet stop 37. The cutting cavities are alternately connected to the outlet of the snap-on feeding vibratory feeder through the cutting cylinder.

[0033] Furthermore, the head of the tape applicator 5a is matched with a first slide cylinder 38, and the first slide cylinder 38 is equipped with a tape pressure roller 39. A scissor 40 is also provided between the tape pressure roller 39 and the tape applicator 5a. One half of the scissor 40 is mounted on a bracket 41, and the other half is matched with a cutting action execution block 42. A second slide cylinder 43 is connected to the cutting action execution block 42. The second slide cylinder 43 is mounted on a third slide cylinder 45 through an adapter plate 44. The third slide cylinder 45 is horizontally mounted on the tape applicator 5a, and the stroke of the third slide cylinder 45 matches the cutting edge depth of the scissors 40.

[0034] This equipment is used in the production and processing of automotive side skirts. The processes include assembling the skirt bracket, applying adhesive, attaching tape, pressing, and installing clips. Existing technology uses manual methods to achieve this, while this equipment can replace manual labor and achieve automated production. The processes of applying adhesive, attaching tape, pressing, and installing clips are carried out step by step by three robots.

[0035] This equipment uses a cam divider rotary table 1 to achieve four-station cyclic flow. The four stations are the part placement station, glue application station, tape application station, pressing and buckle mounting station.

[0036] The placement area is enclosed by guardrails, leaving a manual loading window 3. The worker places the skirt board on the contour base 8, and the rotary cylinder 10 drives the first flipping shaft 11 to rotate, causing the pre-compression block 9 to press the skirt board tightly. The worker then places the skirt board bracket on the skirt board bracket contour base 15, and the negative pressure suction cup 16 holds the skirt board bracket in place.

[0037] The cam divider rotary table 1 rotates to the glue application position, and the six-axis robot 4 applies the mixed AB glue to the part of the skirt board corresponding to the skirt board support contour seat 15 through the glue dispensing machine 7.

[0038] The cam divider rotary table 1 rotates to the tape application position. The six-axis robot 25 applies the tape to the skirt plate through the tape applicator 5a. The first slide cylinder 38 applies pressure to the tape. The third slide cylinder 45 drives the scissors 40 to extend towards the tape to prepare to cut it. The second slide cylinder 43 drives the shearing action to execute the pressure block 42 to press down, so that the blade of the scissors 40 cuts the tape.

[0039] The cam divider rotary table 1 rotates to the pressing and mounting position. Under the pre-pressing condition of the pre-pressing block 9, the reduction motor 12 drives the second flipping shaft 13 to flip the cover 14 down, and the skirt board bracket contour seat 15 presses the skirt board bracket onto the skirt board. The high-strength welding clamping cylinder 32 fastens the pressing ear block 31, and the support cylinder 27 lifts the floating frame 25, keeping the skirt board and skirt board bracket under pressure for a specified time. During the pressure holding process, the hot air interface 18 blows high-temperature hot air into the ventilation hole 17 to heat the bonding area and make the bonding firm.

[0040] The vibratory feeder 34 delivers the skirt board clips to the exit stop 37. The six-axis robot 36 sends the pneumatic gripper 33 on the disc bracket 35 to the exit stop 37 to pick up the material. Then, it adjusts the posture of the disc bracket 35 and uses the photoelectric sensor 37 to detect whether the skirt board bracket has been successfully picked up. After verification, the clips are snapped onto the skirt board.

[0041] In summary, this utility model provides an automotive skirt assembly and processing equipment. It achieves pre-installation and positioning of the skirt and its support through skirt tooling, and at the same time utilizes hot air combined with the mold closing pressure of the support cylinder and the high-strength welding clamping cylinder to achieve bonding and assembly operations, thereby replacing manual production lines and greatly improving production efficiency and assembly quality.
