[0033] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below, and the examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as the limitation of the utility model.
[0034] The drawings are referred to below Figures 1 to 8 The automatic assembly station of the embodiments of the utility model is described.
[0035] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the automatic assembly station of the embodiments of the utility model includes: fixed frame 1, translation device 2 and tightening device 3. Translation device 2 includes sliding frame 21 and drive module 22, drive module 22 is arranged on fixed frame 1, and is connected with sliding frame 21, drive module 22 is used for driving sliding frame 21 to move along the first direction, sliding frame 21 is used for carrying workpiece, tightening device 3 includes mounting bracket 31 and tightening gun module 32, mounting bracket 31 is installed on fixed frame 1, tightening gun module 32 is arranged on mounting bracket 31, and tightening gun module 32 is movable along the second direction to assemble fastener to workpiece.
[0036] According to the automatic assembly station provided in the embodiment of the utility model, when the automatic assembly station is in assembly operation, the workpiece can be placed on the sliding frame 21 first, and the position of the workpiece along the first direction can be automatically adjusted under the action of the driving module 22, since the tightening gun module 32 can move along the second direction, the tightening gun module 32 can be used to automatically assemble the fastener on the workpiece, thereby manpower can be saved, and compared with the scheme in the prior art in which multiple robots cooperate to assemble the fastener, the structure design is compact, and the production cost is reduced.
[0037] It should be noted that the fastener can be a self-extruding nut, a self-tapping screw, a bolt or the like, and correspondingly, the type of the tightening gun module 32 is adapted to the self-extruding nut, the self-tapping screw, the bolt or the like, and the utility model is not limited in this regard.
[0038] The number of the tightening gun module 32 can be one or more, and when multiple fasteners on the workpiece need to be assembled, the same number of the tightening gun modules 32 can be correspondingly arranged. Thus, the present scheme can simplify the tooling structure of the automatic assembly station, and adapt to the working condition of simultaneous installation of multiple fasteners, with short time consumption and fast beat.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first direction is the front-rear direction of the fixed frame 1, that is, the sliding frame 21 can be movable along the front-rear direction of the fixed frame 1. The second direction is the up-down direction of the fixed frame 1, that is, the tightening gun module 32 can be movable along the up-down direction of the fixed frame 1.
[0040] Optionally, the translation device 2 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the translation device 2 is arranged adjacent to the tightening device 3, so that the tightening gun module 32 assembles the fastener to the workpiece. In the second position, the translation device 2 is spaced apart from the tightening device 3 along the first direction, so that the mechanical arm takes and places the workpiece on the sliding frame 21.
[0041] It can be understood that the translation device 2 is movable along the first direction between the first position and the second position. When the translation device 2 moves to the first position, the sliding frame 21 and the mounting frame 31 are close to each other, so that the tightening gun module 32 assembles the fastener to the workpiece. When the translation device 2 moves to the second position, the sliding frame 21 is spaced apart from the mounting frame 31 along the first direction, so that when the mechanical arm takes and places the workpiece, the workpiece does not interfere with the tightening device 3, and it is beneficial to optimize the assembly beat of the automatic assembly station and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the translation device 2 includes two support modules 23, and the two support modules 23 are arranged on both sides of the driving module 22 along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are orthogonal to each other, as shown inFigure 1 As shown in
[0043] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support module 23 includes a first sliding block 231 and a first guide rail 232, the first guide rail 232 is arranged on the fixed frame 1, the first sliding block 231 is arranged on the sliding frame 21, and the first sliding block 231 is in sliding fit with the first guide rail 232 along the first direction. For example, the first sliding block 231 can be multiple, the multiple first sliding blocks 231 are arranged on the first guide rail 232 along the first direction, and the multiple first sliding blocks 231 are connected with the sliding frame 21 at the same time. Thus, the structural design of the support module 23 can be simple, and the sliding of the sliding frame 21 is more stable and smooth, and the stability is higher.
[0044] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving module 22 includes a first push cylinder 221, a first gear 222, a first rack 223 and a second rack 224, the cylinder body of the first push cylinder 221 is mounted on the fixed frame 1, the push rod of the first push cylinder 221 is rotationally connected with the first gear 222, the first rack 223 is mounted on the fixed frame 1, the second rack 224 is mounted on the sliding frame 21, and the first rack 223 and the second rack 224 both extend along the first direction, and the radial two sides of the first gear 222 are respectively engaged with the first rack 223 and the second rack 224.
[0045] It can be understood that, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the push rod of the first push cylinder 221 is extended, the first gear 222 can rotate relative to the first rack 223 and the second rack 224, since the second rack 224 is mounted on the sliding frame 21, the second rack 224 can move synchronously along the movement direction of the first gear 222, and the first rack 223 is relatively fixed, thus the first rack 223, the second rack 224 and the gear substantially constitute the transmission structure of the movable pulley, so that the movement stroke of the second rack 224 is twice the movement stroke of the push rod of the first push cylinder 221. Thus, the occupied space of the translation device 2 can be saved, and the movement stroke of the sliding frame 21 can be increased.
[0046] For example, the first push cylinder 221 can be an electric cylinder, a gas cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the utility model is not limited thereto.
[0047] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 The driving module 22 further comprises a second sliding block 225 and a second guide rail 226. The second sliding block 225 is arranged on the first gear 222, and the second guide rail 226 is arranged on the fixed frame 1. The second sliding block 225 is in sliding cooperation with the second guide rail 226 in the first direction. Thus, under the support of the second sliding block 225 and the second guide rail 226, the first gear 222 can slide more stably in the first direction.
[0048] For example, as shown in Figure 5 The second sliding block 225 is installed on the lower side of the first gear 222. Thus, the installation structure of the second sliding block 225 and the second guide rail 226 can avoid interfering with the translation of the sliding frame 21. Meanwhile, the space on the lower side of the first gear 222 can be utilized, so that the structure of the automatic assembly station is more compact.
[0049] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The translation device 2 further comprises a plurality of posts 24 and a first clamping mechanism 25. The plurality of posts 24 are arranged on the sliding frame 21 in a spaced manner. The first clamping mechanism 25 is arranged on the upper end of the post 24 and can clamp and release the workpiece. It can be understood that the post 24 extends in the vertical direction. The plurality of posts 24 are arranged on the sliding frame 21 in a left-right symmetrical manner.
[0050] For example, the sliding frame 21 has six posts. Three posts are arranged on the left side of the sliding frame 21, and the other three posts are arranged on the right side of the sliding frame 21.
[0051] Since the first clamping mechanism 25 is arranged on the post 24, when the workpiece is placed on the post 24, the first clamping mechanism 25 can clamp the workpiece. Thus, the movement of the workpiece relative to the sliding frame 21 can be limited, so as to improve the reliability of the workpiece fixation. The problem of misalignment or shaking of the workpiece when the tightening gun module 32 assembles the fastener can be avoided, which is beneficial to improve the yield of the assembled product.
[0052] For example, the first clamping mechanism 25 can be a combination structure of a pneumatic cylinder and a rotating arm. The pneumatic cylinder can drive the rotating arm to rotate so as to clamp or release the workpiece.
[0053] As shown in Figure 2 In order to improve the positioning accuracy of the workpiece, the translation device 2 further comprises a positioning member 26. The positioning member 26 is installed on the upper end of the post 24 and is used to match the through hole on the workpiece. It can be understood that when the mechanical arm places the workpiece on the post 24, the positioning member 26 can penetrate into the through hole on the workpiece in the vertical direction. Thus, the problem of shaking and misalignment of the workpiece in the horizontal direction can be limited, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the workpiece and the stability of the placement.
[0054] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 andFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the automatic assembly station further comprises a second clamping mechanism 11, which is arranged on the fixed frame 1 and can clamp and release the sliding frame 21. The second clamping mechanism 11 can fix the sliding frame 21 at the first position or the second position, thereby improving the position accuracy of the sliding frame 21 after translation.
[0055] For example, as shown in the figure, the second clamping mechanism 11 is arranged at the front side of the fixed frame 1. When the sliding frame 21 moves backward to the first position, the second clamping mechanism 11 can clamp the sliding frame 21 to limit the sliding frame 21 from continuing to move in the front-back direction, thereby facilitating the tightening gun module 32 to assemble fasteners to the workpiece. Figure 3
[0056] For another example, as shown in the figure, the second clamping mechanism 11 is arranged at the rear side of the fixed frame 1. When the sliding frame 21 moves backward to the second position, the second clamping mechanism 11 can clamp the sliding frame 21 to limit the sliding frame 21 from continuing to move in the front-back direction, thereby facilitating the robot to place the workpiece on the column 24 or take the workpiece off the column 24, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the sliding frame 21. Figure 1
[0057] For example, the second clamping mechanism 11 can be a combination structure of a "cylinder and rotating arm". The cylinder can drive the rotating arm to rotate to clamp or release the sliding frame 21.
[0058] Optionally, as shown in the figure, in order to avoid hard collision between the sliding frame 21 and the fixed frame 1 or the second clamping mechanism 11 during movement, the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 1 are both provided with a buffer 13, which can be a hydraulic oil buffer. Thus, the sliding frame 21 can be buffered and limited, thereby improving the stability of the sliding frame 21 during movement and reducing the noise generated during automatic assembly work. Figure 1
[0059] Optionally, as shown in the figures, the automatic assembly station further comprises a plurality of adjusting feet 12, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed frame 1. The adjusting feet 12 are used to adjust the flatness of the fixed frame 1 to improve the stability of the automatic assembly station as a whole. Figure 1 Figure 3 For example, as shown in the figure, the adjusting feet 12 are arranged at the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 1. Thus, the flatness of the fixed frame 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the adjusting feet 12 at the front and rear sides.
[0060] For example, as shown in the figure, the adjusting feet 12 are arranged at the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 1. Thus, the flatness of the fixed frame 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the adjusting feet 12 at the front and rear sides. Figure 3 As shown, the adjustable foot 12 includes a support 121, an adjusting bolt 122, and a fixing plate 123. The support 121 is connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 1. The fixing plate 123 is used to install on the base or the ground. The adjusting bolt 122 passes through the support 121 in the vertical direction and abuts against the fixing plate 123. The adjusting bolt 122 can be screwed to different positions to adjust the distance between the support 121 and the fixing plate 123, thereby adjusting the levelness of the fixing frame 1.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the tightening gun module 32 includes a lifting mechanism 321 and a tightening gun 322. The lifting mechanism 321 includes a second push cylinder 3211 and a lifting seat 3212. The second push cylinder 3211 is mounted on the mounting bracket 31. The push rod of the second push cylinder 3211 is connected to the lifting seat 3212. The lifting seat 3212 is connected to the tightening gun 322. The second push cylinder 3211 is used to drive the tightening gun 322 to move in a second direction.
[0062] For example, the second push cylinder 3211 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, and this utility model does not limit it in this regard.
[0063] It is understandable that, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second push cylinder 3211 can drive the lifting seat 3212 to move in the vertical direction, thereby the tightening gun 322 can also move up and down synchronously. The automatic assembly station of this utility model sets the tightening gun module 32 to the above structure, which has a simple structural design, reliable operation process, and good stability.
[0064] For example, there can be multiple tightening guns 322, and each tightening gun 322 corresponds to a fastening mounting position on the workpiece, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the automatic assembly station.
[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the tightening device 3 also includes a third clamping mechanism 33, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 31 and can clamp and release the lifting seat 3212. It is understood that when the second push cylinder 3211 drives the tightening gun 322 to the tightening position, the third clamping mechanism 33 can fix the lifting seat 3212, which helps improve the tightening accuracy of the tightening gun 322 and reduces the probability of poor assembly of the tightening gun 322.
[0066] like Figure 7As shown, the tightening gun module 32 further comprises an adjusting plate 3213, the tightening gun 322 is connected with the lifting seat 3212 through the adjusting plate 3213, and the position of the adjusting plate 3213 relative to the lifting seat 3212 is adjustable. It can be understood that the adjusting plate 3213 can be adjusted in the up-down and left-right positions relative to the lifting seat 3212. For example, a fastening bolt passes through the lifting seat 3212 and abuts against the adjusting plate 3213, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the adjusting plate 3213, the fastening bolt can be loosened to change the relative position of the adjusting plate 3213 and the lifting seat 3212, and then the fastening bolt is tightened to fix the position of the adjusting plate 3213, so that the adjustment of the adjusting plate 3213 is more convenient.
[0067] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the tightening gun module 32 is two groups, and the two groups of tightening gun modules 32 are respectively located on the two sides of the mounting frame 31 along the third direction (for example, the left-right direction of Figure 1 , and the tightening heads of the tightening guns 322 extend away from the fixing frame 1. In other words, the tightening ends of the tightening guns 322 are arranged upwardly, so that the tightening guns 322 can approach the workpiece in the direction from bottom to top and assemble fasteners on the workpiece. The automatic assembly station of the embodiment of the utility model can assemble the reverse side of the workpiece (large die-cast vehicle body) through fasteners by setting the tightening device 3 to the above structure.
[0068] For example, each tightening gun module 32 comprises two tightening guns 322, the two tightening guns 322 are arranged in the front-rear direction and are driven by the same second push cylinder 3211, so that the structure of the tightening gun module 32 is compact and the cost is low.
[0069] Among them, the head of the tightening gun 322 adopts an adjustable floating tightening gun head, so that the tightening gun 322 can be self-adaptively tightened.
[0070] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the mounting frame 31 is two, and the two mounting frames 31 are arranged on the two sides of the fixing frame 1 along the third direction (for example, the left-right direction of Figure 6 , and the tightening gun module 32 is two groups, and the two groups of tightening gun modules 32 are respectively arranged on the two mounting frames 31, and the tightening heads of the tightening guns 322 extend towards the fixing frame 1. In other words, the tightening ends of the tightening guns 322 are arranged downwardly, so that the tightening guns 322 can approach the workpiece in the direction from top to bottom and assemble fasteners on the workpiece. The automatic assembly station of the embodiment of the utility model can assemble the front side of the workpiece (large die-cast vehicle body) through fasteners by setting the tightening device 3 to the above structure.
[0071] Need to explain, when need simultaneously to the front and back of workpiece (big pressure casting car body) carry on assembly, different implementation of above-mentioned automatic assembly station can be combined mutually.
[0072] Optionally, the mounting rack 31 is adjustable in position relative to the fixed rack 1 in the first direction, or the tightening gun module 32 is adjustable in position relative to the mounting rack 31 in the first direction. Thus, the tightening gun module 32 can screw fasteners into assembly holes of different workpieces, or the tightening gun module 32 can screw fasteners into different assembly holes of the same workpiece.
[0073] For example, the mounting rack 31 is connected with a driving member (motor, air cylinder or oil cylinder) so that the driving member drives the mounting rack 31 to move relative to the fixed rack 1. For another example, the tightening gun module 32 is connected with a driving member (motor, air cylinder or oil cylinder) so that the driving member drives the tightening gun module 32 to move relative to the fixed rack 1.
