Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive light programming technology, specifically to an automotive light programming workbench. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology and the increasing demands of people, vehicle lights are also constantly evolving. Modern vehicle lights are no longer just about illumination; they also aim for aesthetic appeal to enhance the overall look of the vehicle. To control the lighting time of each LED chip within the vehicle light, a program needs to be programmed. This program is programmed into the driver module of the vehicle light using a programming device. Since the surface of the driver module easily attracts dust, it needs to be cleaned after programming. Additionally, the program needs to be tested to ensure it executes smoothly, guaranteeing that the vehicle light can complete various lighting modes and achieve multiple lighting functions according to the programmed settings.

[0003] Currently, the programming, dust removal, and testing of automotive headlight driver modules are typically performed at a single workstation. First, the headlight program is programmed, then the programmed driver module is dusted, and finally, it is tested. This prevents the programming, dust removal, and testing of the headlight driver modules from being carried out simultaneously. The programming of the second headlight driver module can only begin after the first one has been tested, resulting in low overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automotive headlight programming workbench, which facilitates the simultaneous execution of programming, dust removal, and testing of the headlight drive module, thereby improving overall work efficiency.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An automotive headlight burning workbench includes a workbench body and an ion gun. The workbench body has a burning station and a testing station. A turntable is rotatably mounted on the workbench body, and two mounting brackets are provided on the turntable. The mounting brackets are connected to clamps. When the turntable moves one of the clamps to the burning station, the other clamp moves to the testing station. The ion gun is used to blow away dust from the parts to be cleaned at the burning station.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, the first headlight driver module to be tested is first fixed in the fixture at the testing station. The turntable is then rotated, moving the first headlight driver module from the fixture to the programming station. At this point, the fixture originally located at the programming station moves to the testing station. Then, the second headlight module is fixed in the fixture at the testing station. After the first headlight driver module completes programming at the programming station, it is cleaned with an ion air gun. The turntable then moves the cleaned headlight driver module to the testing station, and the second headlight driver module moves to the programming station. While the first headlight module is being tested at the testing station, the second headlight module is undergoing programming and dust removal at the programming station. The programming and dust removal processes can be performed simultaneously with the testing, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting frame includes a fixed frame and a movable frame. The fixed frame is mounted on a turntable, and the movable frame is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame. The clamp is fixedly connected to the movable frame, and the movable frame can drive the clamp to rotate up and down. During dust removal, the movable frame flips the clamp and the headlight drive module to the lower side, which facilitates the removal of dust from the headlight drive module.

[0009] Preferably, a first drive motor is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the output end of the first drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the movable bracket, thereby driving the movable bracket to rotate. The first drive motor facilitates the rotation of the movable bracket, thus facilitating the rotation of the vehicle light drive module.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed frame includes a fixed plate and two supports. The fixed plate is mounted on the turntable, and the supports are fixedly connected to the fixed plate. Both ends of the movable frame are rotatably connected to the two supports respectively. The two supports provide stable support for the movable frame.

[0011] Preferably, both the fixing plate and the turntable have through holes corresponding to the clamps. These through holes allow dust blown off by the ion gun to fall below the turntable, preventing dust accumulation on the turntable surface.

[0012] Preferably, the workbench body includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and several side plates, with the side plates disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the top plate, bottom plate, and side plates together forming an installation cavity.

[0013] Preferably, the top plate has a discharge port located at the programming station, and a collection hopper is fixedly connected to the lower side of the top plate. The inlet at the top of the collection hopper is connected to the discharge port. When the ion air gun blows the headlight drive module, the dust blown off falls into the collection hopper through the corresponding through holes, thus facilitating dust collection and cleaning.

[0014] Preferably, the turntable is provided with a limiting component corresponding to the fixed plate, and the fixed plate is detachably connected to the turntable through the limiting component.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a drive cylinder and two opposing sliding grooves. The sliding grooves are fixedly connected to the turntable, and each of the two sliding grooves corresponds to one end of a fixed plate. Both ends of the fixed plate are slidably mounted within their respective sliding grooves. The drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the turntable, and a limiting pin is fixedly connected to its output end. The fixed plate has a limiting hole for the limiting pin to be inserted into. The drive cylinder can drive the limiting pin to be inserted into the limiting hole. In use, the limiting pin is inserted into the limiting hole, thereby locking the fixed plate and preventing it from sliding horizontally. The two sliding grooves restrict the vertical movement of the fixed plate, thus fixing it to the turntable.

[0016] Preferably, the worktable body is provided with a second drive motor and a transmission assembly. The output end of the second drive motor is connected to the turntable through the transmission assembly, and the second drive motor can drive the turntable to rotate through the transmission assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-7 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides an automotive headlight burning workbench, including a workbench body 1 and an ion gun. The workbench body 1 has a burning station and a testing station. The testing station is located near the front of the workbench body 1, and the burning station is located near the rear of the workbench body 1. A turntable 2 is rotatably mounted on the workbench body 1, and two mounting brackets 3 are provided on the turntable 2. The mounting brackets 3 are connected to clamps 4. The clamps 4 are commonly used clamps in the prior art. The number and position of the clamps 4 are set according to the workpieces to be clamped, ensuring that the clamped items remain stable. When the turntable 2 moves one of the clamps 4 to the burning station, the other clamp 4 moves to the testing station. The ion gun is used to blow away the dust from the workpiece located at the burning station. The ion gun can be fixed by a first robotic arm 12, which is fixedly installed on the rear of the workbench body 1. The first robotic arm 12 can drive the ion gun to perform dust removal operations on the workpiece located at the burning station. The workbench body 1 includes a top plate 101, a bottom plate, and four side plates 102. The side plates 102 are positioned between the top plate 101 and the bottom plate, and the top plate 101, the bottom plate, and the four side plates 102 together form a mounting cavity. The workbench body 1 also includes a portal frame 103, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the top plate 101. A second robotic arm 13 is mounted on the portal frame 103, and a camera for capturing inspection images is fixed on the second robotic arm 13. The second robotic arm 13 can drive the camera to capture images of the workpiece to be inspected at the inspection station from multiple perspectives.

[0028] By adopting the above scheme, in use, the first headlight driver module to be tested is first fixed by the fixture 4 at the testing station. The turntable 2 is rotated, causing the first headlight driver module, fixed by the fixture 4, to move to the programming station. At this time, the fixture 4, originally located at the programming station, moves to the testing station. Then, the second headlight module is fixed by the fixture 4 at the testing station. After the first headlight driver module completes the programming process at the programming station, the first robotic arm 12 drives an ion air gun to blow away dust from the driver module. Then, the turntable 2 moves the dust-removed first headlight driver module to the testing station. At this time, the second headlight driver module moves to the programming station, and the second robotic arm 13 drives a camera to capture multi-angle images of the driver module, thus facilitating the testing of the headlight driver module. While the first headlight module is being tested at the testing station, the second headlight module is undergoing programming and dust removal at the programming station. The programming and dust removal processes can be performed simultaneously with the testing process, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0029] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the mounting frame 3 includes a fixed frame 301 and a movable frame 302. The fixed frame 301 is mounted on the turntable 2, and the movable frame 302 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 301. The clamp 4 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 302, and the movable frame 302 can drive the clamp 4 to rotate up and down. During dust removal, the movable frame 302 flips the clamp 4 and the headlight drive module to the lower side, and the ion air gun blows the headlight drive module from below to remove dust, which facilitates the removal of dust from the headlight drive module.

[0030] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, a first drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3. The output end of the first drive motor 9 is connected to the rotating shaft of the movable bracket 302, and the movable bracket 302 can be rotated by the first drive motor 9.

A discharge port is provided on the top plate 101, located at the burning station. A collection hopper 6 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the top plate 101, and the inlet at the top of the collection hopper 6 communicates with the discharge port. When the turntable 2 brings the vehicle light drive module to the burning station, the through holes 5 on the fixed plate 3011 and the turntable 2 at the burning station correspond to the discharge port. When the ion air gun blows the vehicle light drive module, the dust blown down falls into the collection hopper 6 through the corresponding through holes 5, facilitating dust collection and cleaning. To facilitate cleaning the blown-down dust, a slag discharge pipe can be connected to the bottom of the collection hopper 6, with the outlet end of the slag discharge pipe extending to the outside of the mounting cavity. A collection box is correspondingly provided at the outlet end of the slag discharge pipe. This facilitates the discharge of dust from the collection hopper 6 to the external collection box for easy dust collection.
