Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0033] Example: This utility model provides an actuator cylinder assembly device, the main structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this utility model proposes an actuator assembly device, including a safety fence 1, a gantry crane 2, a lift 3, a robotic arm 4, an assembly body 5, an assembly platform 6, and a control console 7. The safety fence 1 is installed on both sides of the assembly platform 6 and the robotic arm 4. The control console 7 is installed on the outside of the safety fence 1. The gantry crane 2 is installed between the assembly platform 6 and the safety fence 1. The robotic arm 4 is installed on one side of the assembly platform 6. The lift 3 is installed on the assembly platform 6, and the assembly body 5 is installed on both sides of the lift 3. During the installation process, the robotic arm 4 can autonomously place the actuator tooling to be installed onto the assembly body 5, and complete the assembly of the actuator tooling through the cantilever on the lift 3. The entire installation process achieves fully automated mechanical operation, reducing the time spent by personnel in close proximity during assembly and greatly improving safety during the assembly process.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, safety fence 1 is set on both sides of gantry crane 2 and robotic arm 4. Mechanical locking device 11 is installed on assembly table 6. Mechanical locking device 11 fixes the safety fence with screws, so that unauthorized personnel cannot enter the assembly work area when assembling the actuator, which greatly improves the safety of the assembly work.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the robotic arm 4 is connected to the robotic arm base 41 via a rotary motor. The robotic upper arm 42 is connected to the robotic arm 4 via a rotary motor, and the robotic lower arm 43 is connected to the robotic upper arm 42 via a rotary motor. The robotic arm base 41 is fixed to the ground with screws, ensuring a stable working environment for the robotic arm 4 during assembly. The robotic arm 4 can rotate 360 ​​degrees on the robotic arm base 41, possessing extremely high flexibility, and both the robotic upper arm 42 and the robotic lower arm 43 can rotate freely. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the lifting platform 3 includes a rotating pressure arm 31 and a servo electric cylinder 32; the rotating pressure arm 31 is installed between the two support columns of the lifting platform 3. The servo electric cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating pressure arm 31. The rotating pressure arm 31 can rotate freely 180 degrees left and right, which can flexibly complete the installation of the actuator cylinder tooling on the two side assemblies 5, improving the installation efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 6 The assembly table 6 shown is equipped with an assembly tooling storage platform 61, which is arranged in two layers. In the actual assembly process, many different actuator tools need to be assembled. At this time, different actuator tools can be placed in the assembly tooling storage platform 61 located below the assembly table 6, which reduces the transportation time of actuator tools and improves efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the gantry crane 2 is equipped with a fixing and locking device 21, which can firmly fix the gantry crane 2 and prevent loosening caused by mechanical vibration during the assembly process. The top of the gantry crane is equipped with two optical positioning modules 22, which can feed back the optical position of the robotic arm 4 and the assembly 5 to the control console 7 in real time, and adjust the robotic arm 4 according to different situations, which greatly increases the assembly accuracy and avoids damage to the actuator tooling caused by improper installation.

[0039] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the assembly 5 includes multiple elastic components 52, which are mounted on the assembly plate 51. The front end of each elastic component 52 is a rounded hemisphere with a spring mechanism inside. During operation, the rounded hemisphere can compress the spring mechanism by 5-10 mm. During assembly, due to a certain deviation in the coaxiality between the piston rod and the outer cylinder, the assembly plate 51 of this invention is equipped with numerous elastic components 52 around it. This allows the assembly to absorb the radial force of the actuator cylinder in the horizontal direction, preventing assembly jamming and product damage, thus improving the assembly success rate.

[0040] like Figure 10 As shown, the control console 7 includes an assembly control console 71 and a robotic arm control console 72. The assembly control console 71 is electrically connected to the assembly 5, the optical positioning module 22, and the elevator 3, while the robotic arm control console 72 is electrically connected to the robotic arm 4. The assembly control console 71 can acquire real-time information from the assembly 5, the optical positioning module 22, and the elevator 3, and adjust these components in real-time according to different situations. The robotic arm control console 72 can acquire real-time information from the robotic arm 4 and make adjustments, greatly increasing the assembly success rate.

[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., 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 according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] 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.
