Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of assembly technology at different angles, and in particular to a support device capable of assembling different surfaces of a part. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, some products require processing their surfaces from multiple angles, such as assembling two or more parts.

[0003] When assembling one part to another, in some cases, the two different parts have more than one connection point, and some connection points are not in the same plane, such as an L-shape. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble and connect the surfaces of the parts at different angles.

[0004] Currently, when dealing with multi-faceted assembly requirements, most assembly is carried out using multiple workstations. Each workstation corresponds to an assembly surface at a different angle. In some cases where hard connection assembly is required, in order to prevent parts from shifting during assembly, it is necessary to pre-press the two parts together before fixing them in place. Therefore, a certain amount of support is needed to offset the pre-pressure. However, in the case of multi-workstation assembly, it would be costly to meet the above assembly conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a support device and production line for assembling different surfaces of workpieces, which aims to reduce the production cost of parts assembly by using a single station to assemble surfaces at different angles.

[0006] On one hand, a support device for assembling workpieces on different surfaces is provided, comprising a machine platform, a support assembly, a support body, a power mechanism, and a fixing member. The power mechanism is supported on the machine platform. At least a portion of at least one of the support assembly and the support body can be moved by the power mechanism. The support body can be used to support parts or loads. The support assembly includes a mounting frame and a load. The fixing member is disposed on the load and can be used to fix the parts to the load. The load is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame and can rotate at a certain angle. The load has at least a first position, a second position, and a third position. The support device has at least a first working state, a second working state, and an operating state. In the first working state, the load is located in the first position, and there is a first distance in the height direction between the support body and the load. In the operating state, the load is located in the second position, and there is a second distance in the height direction between the support body and the load. The second distance is greater than the first distance. In the second working state, the load is located in the third position.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during assembly, one of the parts to be assembled is fixed or confined to a carrier. The carrier device has at least a first working state, a second working state, and an operating state. The carrier can rotate a certain angle, and at least a portion of at least one of the carrier component and the support body can be moved by the power mechanism. Thus, in the first working state, the carrier is in a first position, and there is a first distance in the height direction between the support body and the carrier. In the second working state, the carrier is in a third position, and the support body is in the operating state. The carrier is in the second position, and there is a second distance in the height direction between the support body and the carrier. The first distance is smaller than the second distance. In the operating state, the second distance is larger, which facilitates the rotation of the carrier and reduces mutual interference. In the first working state, the first distance is relatively smaller than the second distance, which allows the support body to support the parts to be assembled or the carrier, facilitating subsequent assembly operations. In the second working state, the carrier is in the third position, which facilitates the assembly of the other side of the parts to be assembled on the carrier. This achieves the assembly of different sides at a single workstation, reducing production costs.

[0008] On the other hand, a production line is provided, including a carrying device and a processing device as described in the above technical solution. In the first working state, the processing head of the processing device is located on the side of the load away from the support body, and in the second working state, the processing head of the processing device is located on the side of the load away from the support body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during assembly, one of the parts to be assembled is fixed or confined to the bearing device. The bearing device is used to adjust the angle required for processing, and then the processing device is used to complete the assembly of different surfaces. This achieves the assembly of different surfaces at a single workstation, reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] On one hand, this application discloses a support device for assembling workpieces on different surfaces. This application is applicable to products with multi-faceted processing or products where external forces are involved in the assembly process, such as multi-faceted nailing or multi-faceted tightening. As a specific application example, this application can be applied to nailing and fixing between two parts, or nailing, tightening, or pressing of three parts.

[0025] As one implementation method, refer to Figures 1-5A support device for assembling workpieces on different surfaces includes a machine base 1, a support assembly 2, a support body 3, a power mechanism 4, and a fixing member 9. The power mechanism 4 is supported on the machine base 1. At least a portion of at least one of the support assembly 2 and the support body 3 can be moved by the power mechanism 4. The support body 3 can be used to support parts or loads 202. The support assembly 2 includes a mounting frame 201 and a load 202. The fixing member 9 is disposed on the load 202. The machine base 1 can be used only for setting up the support assembly, support body, and power mechanism, or it can be used for setting up other components for production and processing besides the support assembly, power mechanism, and support body. The fixing member 9 can be used to fix the parts to be assembled to the load 202. The load 202 is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame 201. With the height direction of the load 202 as the Z direction, the load and the support body are in... There is a distance A between the load and the support in the Z direction. Due to the relative movement between the load and the support, the distance A will have different values. The distance A can be a first distance or a second distance. The load 202 can rotate at a certain angle. The load 202 has at least a first position, a second position and a third position. The first position and the third position are set at an angle. The first position and the second position are set at an angle. The bearing device has at least a first working state, a second working state and an operating state. In the first working state, the load 202 is located in the first position. At this time, the distance between the support 3 and the load 202 in the height direction is the first distance. In the operating state, the load 202 is located in the second position. At this time, the distance between the support 3 and the load 202 in the height direction is the second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance. In the second working state, the load 202 is located in the third position.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, during assembly, one of the parts to be assembled is fixed or confined to the load-bearing device. The load-bearing device has at least a first working state, a second working state, and an operational state. The load-bearing device 202 can rotate at a certain angle, and at least a portion of at least one of the load-bearing component 2 and the support body 3 can be moved by the power mechanism 4. Thus, in the first working state, the load-bearing device is in a first position, and there is a first distance in the height direction between the support body 3 and the load-bearing device 202. In the second working state, the load-bearing device is in a third position. In the operational state, the load-bearing device... The object is in the second position, and there is a second distance in the height direction between the support 3 and the object 202. The first distance is smaller than the second distance. In the operating state, the second distance is larger, which facilitates the rotation of the object and reduces mutual interference. In the first working state, the first distance is relatively smaller than the second distance, which enables the support to support the part to be assembled or the object 202, which facilitates subsequent assembly operations. In the second working state, the object is in the third position, which facilitates the assembly of the other side of the part to be assembled on the object. In this way, the assembly of different sides of a single station is realized, reducing production costs.

[0027] It should be understood that the support body for the parts to be assembled or the support body for the load is determined according to the shape of the parts to be assembled. When the parts are different, in actual use, the support body can provide support for the parts to be assembled, so that operations such as pressing and tightening of the parts to be assembled can be performed. The support body can also provide support for the load, so that the parts to be assembled placed on the load have a supporting force during assembly, which facilitates operations such as pressing and tightening of the parts to be assembled.

[0028] In one embodiment, in the second working state, there is a third distance in the height direction between the support and the load, the third distance being not less than the first distance. In this state, the support can provide assembly support for the other side of the part to be assembled, so that the bearing device can be used for support assembly on at least two sides. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, in the second working state, the support may not provide support for the load or the part to be assembled; whether support for multiple mounting surfaces is required depends on actual needs. As one embodiment, refer to... Figures 1-3 The power mechanism 4 includes a first power component 401 and a lifting plate 403. The first power component 401 is disposed on the machine base 1. The first power component 401 can be a cylinder, a motor or other power source. The body part of the first power component 401 is fixed to the machine base 1. The lifting plate 403 is fixed to the driving part of the first power component 401. The mounting bracket 201 is fixed to the lifting plate. One end of the support body 3 is fixed to the machine base 1. The position of the support body 3 in the height direction is fixed. The driving part of the first power component 401 can be used to drive the lifting plate to move along the height direction.

[0029] More specifically, the mounting bracket 201 is connected to the end of the lifting plate 403 that is away from the first power component 401, and the support body can be a straight rod or a U-shaped rod.

[0030] In the first working state, the driving part of the first power component drives the lifting plate to descend, so that the load or the parts limited or fixed on the load abut against the support. At this time, the parts of the load can be assembled on one side.

[0031] In operation, the drive unit of the first power component first drives the lifting plate to rise, and then the load rotates relative to the rotating frame, causing the load to rotate to a certain angle.

[0032] In the second working state, the driving part of the first power component drives the lifting plate to descend, so that the load or the parts that are limited or fixed on the load abut against the support. At this time, the parts of the load can be assembled on the other side.

[0033] During assembly, the lifting plate descends under the action of the first power component, causing the bearing component 2 to descend and bring the parts or loads into contact with the support body 3. Compared to the support body 3 moving to contact the parts, the support body 3 remains stationary, providing rigid support for the workpiece, making the support process more stable.

[0034] In one implementation, the power mechanism also has a moving module, which is fixed to the support body. The horizontal plane of the machine platform is defined as the reference plane. The moving module can drive the support body to move parallel to the reference plane. The direction of movement of the support body is defined as the first direction. The first direction can be the length direction of the object, the width direction, or the oblique direction.

[0035] Along the first direction, there is a distance B between the support and the load or part in the first direction. Since there is relative movement between the load and the support in the first direction, the distance B will have different values. The distance B can be a first distance or a second distance. When the load 202 is in the first position, the distance between the support 3 and the part or load in the first direction is the first distance. When the load 202 is in the second position, the distance between the support 3 and the part or load in the first direction is the second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

[0036] The moving module includes a slide rail 404, a slider 405, and a second power component 402. The slide rail is fixed to the machine base 1 and extends along a first direction. The slider 405 is slidably connected to the slide rail 404 and can move relative to the slide rail. The second power component 402 can be a cylinder, a motor, or other power source. The body of the second power component 402 is fixed to the machine base 1. The slider 405 is fixedly connected to the drive part of the second power component 402. One end of the support body 3 is fixedly connected to the slider 405. The second power component 402 can drive the support body 3 to move, changing the distance between it and the load or part from distance one to distance two. When the load 202 is flipped, the second power component 402 drives the support body 3 to move, which is efficient and convenient. At the same time, the slide rail 404 makes the movement of the support body 3 more stable and reduces the probability of the support body 3 deviating from its movement path.

[0037] Furthermore, refer to Figures 1-6 Using the width direction of the object being carried as the X direction, the mounting bracket 201 is fixed in the X direction. The first direction is the X direction, and the support 3 can move along the X direction. There is a distance B between the support and the object or part in the X direction. Due to the relative movement between the object and the support in the X direction, the distance B will have different values. Distance B can be either a first distance or a second distance. When the object 202 is in the first position, the distance between the support 3 and the part or object in the X direction is the first distance. When the object 202 is in the second position, the distance between the support 3 and the part or object in the X direction is the second distance, which is greater than the first distance. The first position can be the initial position where the part is placed into the object 202, and the second position is during the flipping process of the object 202. During the flipping process of the object 202, the support 3 is separated from the object 202 in the width direction, reducing the probability of interference and collision between the object 202 and the support 3 during rotation. Figure 6 In the diagram, the X direction is the width direction of the object being loaded.

[0038] Furthermore, the power mechanism 4 also includes a slide rail 404, a slider 405, and a second power component 402. The slide rail is fixed to the machine base 1, and a support body is provided along the slide rail 404 in the X direction. The slider 405 is slidably connected to the slide rail 404 and can move relative to the slide rail. The second power component 402 can be a cylinder, a motor, or other power source. The body part of the second power component 402 is fixed to the machine base 1, and the slider 405 is fixedly connected to the drive part of the second power component 402. One end of the support body 3 is fixedly connected to the slider 405, so that the distance between it and the load or part changes from distance one to distance two. When the load 202 is flipped, the support body 3 is driven to move by the second power component 402, which is efficient and convenient. At the same time, the slide rail 404 makes the movement of the support body 3 more stable and reduces the probability of the support body 3 deviating from its movement path.

[0039] Furthermore, refer to Figures 1-7 The lifting plate 403 has a recess 11, which is located on the moving path of the support body. The support body can move to the recess, and there is a distance C between the recess and the support body in the X direction. The recess is recessed in the first direction, and the support body 3 can move to the recess 11. In the first position or the third position, at least a part of the support body is located in the recess.

[0040] When the area of ​​the part is larger than the area of ​​the load, the support body abuts against the surface of the part. When the area of ​​the part is smaller than the area of ​​the load, the support body moves to the recess and abuts against the bottom wall of the load. This reduces the area of ​​the entire lifting plate 403 while providing more space for the horizontal movement of the support body 3. When the part is small, the support body 3 can move to the recess for support, so as to be suitable for the assembly of parts of different sizes.

[0041] The distance C can be either a first dimension or a second dimension. When the area of ​​the part is smaller than the area of ​​the carrier, when the carrier is in the first position, the distance C between the support and the carrier in the X direction is the first dimension. When the carrier is in the second position, the distance C between the support and the carrier in the X direction is the second dimension. The first dimension is smaller than the second dimension to reduce the interference of the support on the carrier when the carrier rotates.

[0042] As one implementation method, refer to Figures 5-8 The mounting frame 201 is equipped with a third power component 5. The body of the third power component 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 201. The mounting frame 201 is equipped with a mounting block 6. The mounting block can be the output shaft of the third power component, or it can be a cuboid or column fixed to the output shaft of the third power component. The mounting block 6 has a first end 7 and a second end 8. The load 202 is fixedly connected to the second end 8. When the load 202 is in the first position, there is a third distance D between the first end 7 and the machine base 1 in the height direction, and a fourth distance E between the second end 8 and the machine base 1 in the height direction. The third distance D is less than the fourth distance E. Before the load is flipped, the third distance D is greater than the fourth distance E. During operation, the load 202 rotates. After rotating to the first position, the distance between the load 202 and the machine base 1 increases, thereby leaving enough space for the movement of the support 3 and reducing the possibility of interference.

[0043] In one embodiment, the fixing member 9 is a rotary clamping cylinder. The cylinder body of the rotary clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the carrier 202. The rotary clamping cylinder can be used to fix the parts to be assembled. When in use, one of the parts is placed on the carrier 202, and then the rotary clamping cylinder is activated to clamp the part, preventing the part from falling off the carrier 202 during rotation.

[0044] Of course, as another embodiment, the fixing member 9 can also be a clamping member disposed on the carrier 202, and the clamping member can be mechanical or electric. The fixing member can be a pressure block located above the carrier or two or more clamping members located on the carrier. The function of the fixing member is to provide positioning for the part to be assembled on the carrier, so that it does not fall off during the flipping process.

[0045] Furthermore, the carrier 202 is provided with a positioning pin 10 for positioning the workpiece, so that the part can be accurately placed in the required position of the carrier 202.

[0046] As one specific implementation method, refer to Figure 4 The power mechanism 4 includes a first power component 401, which can be a cylinder, a motor, or other power source. The body of the first power component 401 is fixedly connected to the machine base 1. One end of the support body 3 is fixedly connected to the drive part of the first power component 401, and the other end of the support body 3 can abut against or detach from the part or the load. The support body 3 can be used to support the part. The first power component 401 can drive the support body 3 to move along the height direction. The mounting frame 201 and the machine base 1 have a fixed installation height in the height direction. During assembly, the support body rises under the action of the first power component, so that the support body abuts against the part or the load. When the load 202 is in the first position, the first power component 401 is activated, so that the support body 3 rises to provide support force for the part, and at the same time, the probability of interference between the load 202 and the support body 3 when rotating is reduced.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket is fixed, and the support body is moved closer to or further away from the load by the first power component. In the first working state, the support body rises under the action of the first power component and abuts against the part or load. In the operating state, the support body descends under the action of the first power component, leaving rotation space for the rotation of the load and reducing interference.

[0048] On the other hand, refer to Figure 9 This application discloses a production line, including a support component as described in any of the above embodiments, and a processing device 12 for performing assembly operations. The processing device 12 can be a tightening gun, a press, a robotic arm, or other device or equipment capable of assembling parts. In the first working state, the processing head of the processing device 12 is located on the side of the load 202 away from the support 3. In the second working state, the processing head of the processing device 12 is located on the side of the load 202 away from the support 3.

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, during assembly, one of the parts to be assembled is fixed or confined to the bearing device. The bearing device is then adjusted to the required angle for processing, and the processing device 12 completes the assembly of different surfaces. This achieves the assembly of different surfaces at a single workstation, reducing production costs.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and controls without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and controls all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
