[0026] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0027] Example

[0028] Figure 1 A workpiece 800 is shown, which is generally a U-shaped plate structure. After a previous process (such as a stamping process), the workpiece 800 may undergo torsional deformation, causing the target surface P1 of the workpiece 800 (such as...) to... Figure 1 The front surface (of the surface) cannot maintain the required plane and becomes a distorted curved surface.

[0029] Figure 1 In the process, workpiece 800 includes a middle rod segment 801, a first side rod segment 802, and a second side rod segment 803. The first side rod segment 802 and the second side rod segment 803 are respectively bent and connected to the two ends of the middle rod segment 801, and the middle rod segment 801, the first side rod segment 802, and the second side rod segment 803 are connected to form a U-shape. The target surface P1 includes the front surfaces of the first side rod segment 802 and the second side rod segment 803, as well as the front surface of the middle rod segment 801 near the first side rod segment 802 and the second side rod segment 803, that is, the target surface P1 is also U-shaped. Optionally, the length of the middle rod segment 801 is relatively large, so the middle rod segment 801 is prone to relative torsion, so that the front surfaces of the first side rod segment 802 and the second side rod segment 803 form a certain angle, thereby making the target surface P1 a twisted and deformed curved surface.

[0030] See Figure 2 This embodiment provides a shaping device 1000 for shaping... Figure 1 The workpiece 800 shown is shaped to adjust the target surface P1 of the workpiece 800 to the desired planar state. Of course, Figure 1 The workpiece 800 shown is merely an example; the shaping device 1000 of this embodiment is capable of shaping any workpiece 800 of a similar shape. Optionally, a workpiece 800 of a similar shape may refer to a workpiece with a longer feature portion.

[0031] See you again Figure 2The shaping device 1000 in this embodiment includes a shaping component 100, a machine base 200, a sliding seat 300, a detection component 400, and a robotic arm 500.

[0032] Shaping component 100 is used for Figure 1 The workpiece 800 is subjected to shaping operations (such as torsion shaping) to correct the shape deviation of the workpiece 800.

[0033] The sliding seat 300 is slidably mounted on the machine base 200 and can be moved relative to the machine base 200 under drive. For example, a linear drive slide rail is arranged on the machine base 200, and the sliding seat 300 moves under the drive of the linear drive slide rail. The shaping assembly 100 is fixed to the sliding seat 300 and can move together with the sliding seat 300.

[0034] The detection component 400 is communicatively connected to the drive component 20 of the shaping component 100. The detection component 400 detects the deformation parameters of the workpiece 800, which are used to determine the rotation angle and / or rotation direction of the drive component 20. The deformation parameters characterize the degree of deformation of the workpiece 800; for example, the deformation parameters include the torsional deformation angle of the target surface P1 of the workpiece 800. When the deformation parameters are large, the drive component 20 shapes the workpiece 800 with a larger rotation angle, restoring the workpiece 800 to its designed shape and size.

[0035] The detection component 400 can employ a vision-based inspection scheme. It is connected to the end effector of the robotic arm 500 (such as a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm) and can be moved to a suitable position by the robotic arm 500 to facilitate taking pictures of the workpiece 800 from different angles and distances. By analyzing the captured images, the aforementioned deformation parameters (such as the torsional deformation angle) can be obtained. Then, based on the deformation parameters, the angle (i.e., the rotation angle) at which the shaping component 100 needs to reverse-twist the workpiece 800 is calculated. The shaping component 100 operates at this rotation angle, thereby reversing and shaping the workpiece 800 back to the desired state (such as a flat surface P1).

[0036] The shaping component 100 is movable as a whole, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the workpiece 800, and also makes it easy for the detection component 400 to detect the workpiece 800 at a suitable angle and distance, or to facilitate the loading and unloading of the workpiece 800.

[0037] Optionally, the detection component 400 can also detect the torsional deformation angle of the workpiece 800 again after a shaping operation by the shaping component 100. If the detection is qualified (e.g., the flatness of the target surface P1 meets the set allowable range), the shaping of the workpiece 800 is completed, and the workpiece 800 can be unloaded from the shaping component 100. If the detection is unqualified, the shaping component 100 will perform a shaping operation on the workpiece 800 again until the detection is qualified.

[0038] The shaping component 100 of this embodiment is described below by way of example. In addition to being applied to the shaping device 1000 described above, the shaping component 100 of this embodiment can also be used in other suitable scenarios, which are not limited here.

[0039] See Figures 3-6 The shaping component 100 in this embodiment includes a substrate 10, a driving member 20, a first clamping component 30, and a second clamping component 40.

[0040] The first clamping assembly 30 includes a first plate 31, a first pin 32, and a first clamping structure 33. The first plate 31 is connected to the base plate 10. The first pin 32 is connected to the first plate 31. The first clamping structure 33 is connected to the first plate 31 and is capable of clamping one end of the workpiece 800 (such as one end of the first side rod segment 802) to the first plate 31.

[0041] The second clamping assembly 40 includes a second plate 41, a second pin 42, and a second clamping structure 43. The second plate 41 is movably disposed relative to the base plate 10. The second pin 42 is connected to the second plate 41 and is used to position the workpiece 800 together with the first pin 32. The second clamping structure 43 is connected to the second plate 41 and is capable of clamping the other end of the workpiece 800 (such as one end of the second side rod segment 803) to the second plate 41.

[0042] The driving component 20 is connected to the second plate 41 of the second clamping assembly 40 and is used to drive the second clamping assembly 40 to rotate relative to the first clamping assembly 30 so as to twist the workpiece 800.

[0043] In this embodiment, the shaping component 100 is used to first position the workpiece 800 on the first pin 32 and the second pin 42. Then, the first clamping structure 33 presses one end of the workpiece 800 against the first plate 31, and the second clamping structure 43 presses the other end of the workpiece 800 against the second plate 41. After the workpiece 800 is positioned and clamped, the driving component 20 drives the second clamping component 40 to rotate relative to the first clamping component 30, thereby causing the workpiece 800 to twist and achieve the shaping of the workpiece 800.

[0044] The shaping component 100 of this embodiment cleverly utilizes the fixing of the first plate 31 and the base plate 10, and the movable arrangement of the second plate 41 relative to the base plate 10. In addition, the positioning of the workpiece 800 by the first pin 32 and the second pin 42, and the clamping of the workpiece 800 by the first clamping structure 33 and the second clamping structure 43, can effectively realize the torsional shaping of the workpiece 800.

[0045] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the substrate 10 can be a horizontal plane (parallel to the vertical direction Z1). The first plate 31 and the second plate 41 are respectively vertically connected to the substrate 10 and are arranged at intervals along the spacing direction X1. The first pin 32 and the second pin 42 extend out along the horizontal direction Y1 to jointly support the workpiece 800.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the workpiece 800 is positioned on the shaping component 100, the length direction X of the workpiece 800 is parallel to the aforementioned interval direction X1, the thickness direction Y of the workpiece 800 is parallel to the aforementioned horizontal direction Y1, and the width direction Z of the workpiece 800 is parallel to the aforementioned vertical direction Z1.

[0047] The first pin 32 and the second pin 42 together support the intermediate rod segment 801 on both of them. The first pin 32 is configured to be positioned at the angle between the intermediate rod segment 801 and the first side rod segment 802, and the second pin 42 is configured to be positioned at the angle between the intermediate rod segment 801 and the second side rod segment 803. In this way, the workpiece 800 can be supported downward on the first pin 32 and the second pin 42 by its own weight and is reliably positioned by the first pin 32 and the second pin 42.

[0048] Optionally, the first pin 32 is cylindrical, with the first side segment 802 and the middle segment 801 intersecting perpendicularly, and the intersection angle being rounded. The second pin 42 is cylindrical, with the second side segment 803 and the middle segment 801 intersecting perpendicularly, and the intersection angle being rounded. Through the cooperation of the cylindrical shape and the rounded intersection angle, the first pin 32 and the second pin 42 can reliably and accurately position the workpiece 800.

[0049] Optionally, the first clamping assembly 30 further includes a first pad 34, which is connected to the first plate 31, and the first pad 34 and the first pin 32 are located on the same side of the first plate 31. The first pad 34 and the first clamping structure 33 are used to jointly clamp the first side segment 802 of the workpiece 800. The second clamping assembly 40 further includes a second pad 44, which is connected to the second plate 41, and the second pad 44 and the second pin 42 are located on the same side of the second plate 41. The second pad 44 and the second clamping structure 43 are used to jointly clamp the second side segment 803 of the workpiece 800. In this way, the first side segment 802 of the workpiece 800 is reliably clamped by the first plate 31 and the first clamping structure 33, and the second side segment 803 is reliably clamped by the second plate 41 and the second clamping structure 43, making it less likely for the workpiece 800 to loosen during the torsion adjustment process, thus ensuring the torsion adjustment effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first clamping structure 33 includes a first clamping drive member 33a and a first clamping head 33b. The first clamping drive member 33a is mounted on the first plate 31 and is pulsatorically connected to the first clamping head 33b, for driving the first clamping head 33b to move, thereby clamping or releasing the first side rod segment 802 of the workpiece 800. Similarly, the second clamping structure 43 includes a second clamping drive member 43a and a second clamping head 43b. The second clamping drive member 43a is mounted on the second plate 41 and is pulsatorically connected to the second clamping head 43b, for driving the second clamping head 43b to move, thereby clamping or releasing the second side rod segment 803 of the workpiece 800.

[0051] The first clamping drive 33a and the second clamping drive 43a can both be rotary cylinders, which can drive the first clamping head 33b and the second clamping head 43b to rotate to the position where the workpiece is clamped at 80° (see...). Figure 3 ) or loosen the workpiece at 80° (e.g.) Figure 6 ).exist Figure 6 With the workpiece 800 in the released position, it can be easily placed on the first pin 32 and the second pin 42, realizing the loading and positioning of the workpiece 800. After loading and positioning are completed, the first clamping drive 33a / second clamping drive 43a can drive the first clamping head 33b / second clamping head 43b to rotate, thereby clamping the workpiece 800. Similarly, before unloading, the first clamping head 33b / second clamping head 43b needs to be released first.

[0052] When the workpiece 800 is positioned and clamped in the shaping assembly 100, the target surface P1 of the workpiece 800 is located on the side away from the first pad 34 and the second pad 44 in the thickness direction Y of the workpiece 800. The first pressing head 33b and the second pressing head 43b respectively attach to and press the target surface P1.

[0053] In this embodiment, optionally, the rotation axis of the drive member 20 is parallel to the length direction X of the intermediate rod segment 801. In this way, the workpiece 800 can be easily rotated by rotation to achieve adjustment of the target surface P1.

[0054] In this embodiment, optionally, the shaping assembly 100 further includes a base 50, which is mounted on the base plate 10. A second plate 41 is located between the base 50 and the first plate 31. A drive unit 20 is mounted on the base 50. The drive unit 20 can be a rotary motor, whose output shaft can be connected to the second plate 41, thereby driving the second clamping assembly 40 to rotate relative to the first clamping assembly 30, achieving torsional adjustment of the workpiece 800.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this application should not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
