[0002] In the machining of flight cases, drilling and rivet installation are common processes. Traditionally, these processes are performed manually, which is inefficient, makes it difficult to guarantee machining accuracy, and is prone to human error. Furthermore, manual operation involves high labor intensity and safety risks. With the development of automation technology, robotic arms are increasingly being applied to drilling and rivet installation processes to improve efficiency and accuracy while reducing labor intensity and safety risks. However, existing robotic hand-mounted fixtures are typically single-function, requiring separate installation of drilling and rivet installation equipment, which cannot simultaneously meet the needs of both processes, hindering further improvements in machining accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a robotic hand-mounted fixture capable of simultaneously installing and precisely controlling drilling and rivet installation equipment to improve machining efficiency and accuracy.

Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 3 This is another side view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tooling fixture for drilling and rivet driving of a robotic arm is provided for mounting drilling equipment and rivet driving equipment. It includes a mounting component 1 and a telescopic component 2. The mounting component 1 is used to mount and fix the robotic arm. The drilling equipment and the telescopic component 2 are mounted on the mounting component 1. The rivet driving equipment is connected to the telescopic component 2, and the telescopic component 2 drives the rivet driving equipment to extend and retract.

[0020] In the assembly of the robotic drilling and rivet-driving fixture of this application, the telescopic component 2 is pre-installed on the mounting component 1. Then, the mounting component 1 is fixedly connected to the robotic arm using bolts, nuts, and other parts, ensuring that the fixture can be stably mounted on the robotic arm. Furthermore, by mounting the drilling equipment on the mounting component 1 and the rivet-driving equipment on the telescopic component 2, the rivet-driving equipment and the drilling equipment share the mounting component 1, reducing the robotic arm's movement path. Simultaneously, the telescopic component 2 synchronously drives the rivet-driving equipment to perform telescopic movements, thereby achieving rapid switching and safe coordination between drilling and rivet-driving operations.

[0021] The drilling and rivet installation process is as follows: The robotic arm moves to the workpiece to be processed. When drilling is required, the telescopic component 2 drives the rivet installation device to retract away from the workpiece to avoid interfering with the drilling operation. Then, the drilling device begins drilling the workpiece. After drilling is completed, the telescopic component 2 drives the rivet installation device to extend closer to the workpiece for rivet installation. The extended position of the rivet installation device is closer to the workpiece than the drilling device, which avoids interference from the drilling device. After the rivet installation is completed, the telescopic component 2 drives the rivet installation device to retract, and the robotic arm moves to the next processing position, repeating the above operation.

[0022] The advantages of the robotic arm drilling and rivet-driving fixture of this application are: the fixture has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has good stability; through the installation components, the drilling equipment and the rivet-driving equipment can be easily installed on the robotic arm at the same time, so that the robotic arm integrates drilling and rivet-driving functions, realizes the automation and coordinated operation of drilling and rivet-driving processes, improves processing efficiency and accuracy, and reduces labor intensity and safety risks.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the specific structure of installation component 1 is as follows:

[0024] Mounting component 1 includes a main board 11 and a connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the main board 11 and is used to connect and fix with the robot arm. The drilling equipment and the telescopic component 2 are mounted on opposite sides of the main board 11.

[0025] The mainboard 11 of the mounting component 1 is also equipped with a fastener 3 for fixing the drilling equipment. The fastener 3 is a retaining ring with an opening 31. The two sides of the opening 31 are respectively provided with connecting holes 32. The connecting holes 32 are connected by bolts and nuts to lock the opening 31, thereby firmly fixing the drilling equipment.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the specific structure of the telescopic component 2 is as follows:

[0027] The telescopic assembly 2 includes a cylinder 21 and a connector 22. The cylinder 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting assembly 1, and the connector 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 21. The rivet-driving device is mounted on the connector 22. When the cylinder 21 is working, its output end drives the connector 22 to move, thereby driving the rivet-driving device to perform telescopic movement.

[0028] The telescopic assembly 2 also includes a guide rail 23, which is fixedly installed on the mounting assembly 1, and the connector 22 is slidably connected to the guide rail 23. During movement, the guide rail 23 guides the movement of the connector 22, ensuring the straightness and stability of the rivet-driving equipment.

[0029] The mounting assembly 1 is also equipped with a buffer assembly 4, which is located at one end of the guide rail 23. The buffer assembly 4 includes a bracket 41 and a U-shaped elastic rubber head 42. The bracket 41 is connected and fixed to the mounting assembly 1, and the U-shaped elastic rubber head 42 is mounted on the bracket 41 and faces one end of the guide rail 23. When the connecting piece 22 moves to one end of the guide rail 23, the U-shaped elastic rubber head 42 can act as a buffer, preventing the connecting piece 22 from having a rigid collision with the mounting assembly 1 and extending the service life of the tooling fixture.

[0030] A buffer spring 24 is provided between the connector 22 and the piston rod at the output end of the cylinder 21. The buffer spring 24 can further buffer the impact force generated when the cylinder 21 moves, protecting the nail-driving equipment and the cylinder 21.

[0031] A photoelectric switch is also provided on the end face of the piston rod at the output end of cylinder 21. The photoelectric switch can monitor the position of the rivet-driving equipment in real time. When the rivet-driving equipment is out of position, the photoelectric switch can send a signal in time to control cylinder 21 to stop moving and ensure processing accuracy.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
