Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of thin-walled component installation machines, and specifically relates to a novel thin-walled component installation machine. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the industrial manufacturing sector, the application of thin-walled components is becoming increasingly widespread. However, the inherent structural characteristics of these components present numerous challenges during processing and installation. Thin-walled components are thin-walled and lack rigidity. Under traditional installation processes, when using ordinary clamps for fixation, deformation easily occurs due to uneven clamping force. This deformation not only affects the dimensional accuracy of the thin-walled component but also damages its internal structural performance, reducing product quality and lifespan. For large and complex aerospace components with thin walls, existing installation equipment struggles to meet the diverse size requirements. On one hand, clamping stability is poor; on the other hand, frequent changes to tooling fixtures of different sizes are necessary. Furthermore, existing patent publication number CN112775987A discloses a building panel installation robot, which uses suction cups on its robotic arm to grasp and transfer panels. However, for grasping thin-walled components, especially those with extremely fine surface roughness, relying solely on suction cups for fixation results in poor stability and a high risk of slippage and damage during transfer and installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a novel thin-walled component installation machine that solves the problem of stable clamping and installation of thin-walled components of different sizes. Through an adjustable clamping device and a suction cup for double fixation, it ensures the stability and safety of thin-walled components during installation, solves the problem of ease of operation of the installation machine at different heights and angles, and improves installation efficiency and quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] The clamping device includes a main assembly frame, side hydraulic cylinders, side clamping plates, and gripper brackets. One end of the main assembly frame is connected to the lifting device via a V-shaped plate, and the other end of the main assembly frame is fixedly connected to one side of the gripper bracket. The side hydraulic cylinder is horizontally mounted on the gripper bracket, and side clamping plates are mounted at both ends of the gripper bracket. A limit guide rail is provided between the gripper bracket and the side clamping plates. The end of the telescopic rod of the side hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side clamping plate to drive the side clamping plates at both ends of the gripper bracket to extend and retract. The main assembly frame is also equipped with suction cups for adsorbing thin-walled parts.

[0008] Furthermore, a suction cup mounting plate is provided at the end of the assembly frame, and the suction cup mounting plate and the gripper bracket are located at the same end of the assembly frame; a linear bearing and a lifting hydraulic cylinder are provided on the suction cup mounting frame, and a guide shaft is provided in the linear bearing. A suction cup slider is fixedly provided at one end of the guide shaft, and the suction cup is provided on the suction cup slider; the extension rod of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the suction cup slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction cup mounting bracket has two top extension hydraulic cylinders and four linear bearings, which are located on both sides of the top extension hydraulic cylinders to maintain the movement stability of the suction cup slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting guide rail is a linear bearing and guide shaft or a rectangular guide rail pair, used to ensure the movement stability of the side clamping plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the side clamping plate consists of a main beam and multiple claw plates. The side hydraulic cylinder and the limiting guide rail of the claw bracket are both connected to the main beam. The claw plates are fixedly mounted on the main beam. The main beam is used to adjust the distance between the side clamping plates at both ends of the claw bracket under the drive of the side hydraulic cylinder, so as to adapt to the clamping of thin-walled parts of different sizes.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a bracket fixed to the chassis, a short connecting rod, a lifting hydraulic cylinder, a long connecting rod, and a tilting hydraulic cylinder. One end of the short connecting rod is hinged to the rear supporting bracket, and the other end of the short connecting rod is hinged to the long connecting rod. One end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the front supporting bracket above the chassis via a pin, and the other end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the short connecting rod via a pin. The middle part of the short connecting rod is connected to one end of the tilting hydraulic cylinder via a pin, and the other end of the tilting hydraulic cylinder is connected to one end of the long connecting rod via a pin. The other end of the long connecting rod is fixedly connected to a V-shaped plate via bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, the hinge position between the short connecting rod and the long connecting rod is set at a predetermined distance from the end of the long connecting rod; the other end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the short connecting rod at the end of the short connecting rod near the rear end bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, a seat is provided at the rear of the chassis, a steering wheel is provided in front of the seat, and a hydraulic control lever is provided on the left side of the steering wheel.

[0016] Furthermore, the chassis is equipped with two wheels for the movement and steering of the installation machine.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In this invention, the side hydraulic cylinder of the clamping device can precisely drive the side clamping plate to extend and retract, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the side clamping plates at both ends of the gripper bracket. This ensures stable and adaptable clamping for both small and large thin-walled parts, greatly expanding the applicability of the installation machine and avoiding the hassle of replacing equipment due to different thin-walled part sizes, thus reducing operating costs. Simultaneously, the equipped suction cup, controlled by the top extension hydraulic cylinder, further securely adheres to the thin-walled part in addition to the clamping by the side clamping plates. This dual-fixation method effectively prevents the thin-walled part from shaking or slipping during installation.

[0019] The suction cup mounting bracket of this utility model is equipped with two top-extension hydraulic cylinders and four linear bearings, with the linear bearings distributed on both sides of the top-extension hydraulic cylinders. This provides all-round and balanced support force when the suction cup slider moves, effectively eliminating possible deviations and shaking during movement, and ensuring the high stability of the suction cup slider movement. This ensures that the suction cup can accurately and reliably adsorb thin-walled parts. The limiting guide rail uses either linear bearings or rectangular guide rail pairs to ensure the stability of the side clamping plate during telescopic movement, avoiding problems such as jamming or offset of the side clamping plate. The side clamping plate consists of a main beam and multiple claw plates. The side hydraulic cylinders and limiting guide rails of the claw bracket are connected to the main beam, and the claw plates are fixed on the main beam. This allows for convenient and quick adjustment of the distance between the side clamping plates at both ends of the claw bracket. It is not only flexible in operation but also exhibits good versatility and efficiency when clamping thin-walled parts of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This embodiment discloses a novel thin-walled component installation machine, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a chassis 1, a lifting device and a clamping device 14; the lifting device is connected to the rear end bracket 6 above the chassis 1 by a hinge, and the clamping device 14 is installed on the lifting device;

[0028] The clamping device 14 includes a main assembly frame 15, a side hydraulic cylinder 16, side clamping plates 20, and a gripper bracket 24. One end of the main assembly frame 15 is connected to the lifting device via a V-shaped plate 13, and the other end of the main assembly frame 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the gripper bracket 24. The side hydraulic cylinder 16 is horizontally mounted on the gripper bracket 24, and side clamping plates 20 are mounted at both ends of the gripper bracket 24. A limit guide rail is provided between the gripper bracket 24 and the side clamping plates 20. The end of the telescopic rod of the side hydraulic cylinder 16 is hinged to the side clamping plate 20, which is used to drive the side clamping plates 20 at both ends of the gripper bracket 24 to move telescopically.

[0030] The suction cup 19 mounting bracket has two top extension hydraulic cylinders 17 and four linear bearings 22. The linear bearings 22 are located on both sides of the top extension hydraulic cylinders 17, which can provide all-round and balanced support force when the suction cup slider 18 moves, effectively eliminating possible deviations and shaking during the movement, ensuring the high stability of the suction cup slider 18 movement, and thus ensuring that the suction cup 19 adsorbs thin-walled parts accurately and reliably.

[0034] The hinge position of the short connecting rod 9 and the long connecting rod 11 is set at a predetermined distance from the end of the long connecting rod 11; the other end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 10 is connected to the short connecting rod 9 at the end of the short connecting rod 9 near the rear end bracket 6, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder 10 is used to drive the short connecting rod 9 to swing around the rear end bracket 6, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the clamping device 14.

[0035] The chassis 1 is equipped with a seat 3 at the rear, and a steering wheel 4 is located in front of the seat 3. A hydraulic control lever 5 is located on the left side of the steering wheel 4, and the hydraulic system is controlled by the hydraulic control lever 5. The hydraulic control lever 5 is connected to the hydraulic system, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder 10, tilting hydraulic cylinder 12, and extending hydraulic cylinder 17 are all connected to the hydraulic system, and the action of each hydraulic cylinder is controlled by the hydraulic system.

[0036] The chassis 1 is equipped with two wheels 2 for the installation machine to move and turn, allowing the installation machine to move freely and turn flexibly in different work sites, such as workshops and construction sites, and quickly reach the designated position to perform thin-walled component installation operations. This improves the equipment's versatility and working range, enabling it to adapt to various complex working environments.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] S1. Move the installation machine to the location where the thin-walled component is placed or the installation work area.

[0039] S2. Operate the hydraulic control lever 5 to make the telescopic rod of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 10 push the short connecting rod 9 to swing around the rear support 6. The short connecting rod 9 drives the long connecting rod 11 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall height of the long connecting rod 11 and the clamping device 14. Stop the operation after reaching the appropriate height.

[0040] S3. Operate the hydraulic control lever 5 to control the tilting hydraulic cylinder 12 to make the clamping device 14 reach the required angle;

[0041] S4. Operate the hydraulic control lever 5 to activate the side hydraulic cylinder 16 on the gripper bracket 24. Its telescopic rod pushes the side clamping plate 20 to move along the limit guide rail. Adjust the distance between the side clamping plates 20 at both ends of the gripper bracket 24 according to the size of the thin-walled part until the side clamping plates 20 contact and initially clamp the thin-walled part.

[0042] S5. Operate the hydraulic control lever 5 to activate the top extension hydraulic cylinder 17. Through the movement of the guide shaft 21 in the linear bearing 22, the suction cup 19 is brought close to the thin-walled part and firmly adsorbed, thus achieving double fixation of the thin-walled part.
