Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil rail production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an automated oil rail machining production line. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing of fuel rails relies heavily on manual labor, which presents numerous drawbacks. The handling, processing, inspection, deburring, cleaning, and subsequent packaging of fuel rail components are generally done manually or only partially mechanized. Manual handling is prone to errors, affecting processing accuracy and production efficiency. Furthermore, worker fatigue during prolonged operation increases the error rate and product defect rate. Manual inspection is inefficient and prone to subjective judgment, leading to inaccurate quality control and allowing substandard products to enter subsequent processes. Consistency in deburring and cleaning is difficult to guarantee, affecting the surface quality of the fuel rails and negatively impacting subsequent assembly. Slow packaging and labeling processes, along with inconsistent marking, hinder overall production flow and product traceability management. As the automotive industry increasingly demands higher quality and production efficiency for fuel system components, traditional production methods can no longer meet the needs of large-scale, high-precision fuel rail manufacturing.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 As shown.

[0025] The embodiments further illustrate the automated machining production line for oil rails proposed in this utility model.

[0026] An automated machining production line for hydraulic rails includes a machining unit, an inspection unit, and a deburring and cleaning unit;

[0027] The processing unit includes a first articulated robot 1, a first material bin 2, and a processing center equipment 3; the first articulated robot 1 transports the oil rail workpieces stored in the material bin to the processing center equipment 3 for processing;

[0028] The detection unit consists of a second joint robot 4 and a detection and marking station 5. The second joint robot 4 transports the oil rail workpieces processed by the machining center equipment 3 to the detection and marking station 5 for detection. The oil rail workpieces that pass the detection enter the deburring and cleaning unit for further processing.

[0029] The processing unit includes a first articulated robot 1, a first material bin 2, and a machining center 3. The first material bin 2 is used to store oil rail workpieces to be processed. When the production line starts a processing task, the first articulated robot 1 grabs the oil rail workpiece from the first material bin 2 and then transports it to the machining center 3. The machining center 3 performs specific processing on the fed oil rail workpiece to complete the processing task.

[0030] The inspection unit includes a second-joint robot 4 and an inspection and coding station 5. After the oil rail workpiece is processed by the machining center equipment 3, the second-joint robot 4 transports it from the machining center equipment 3 to the inspection and coding station 5. The inspection and coding station 5 performs a comprehensive inspection of the oil rail workpiece to determine whether it meets the quality standards. Oil rail workpieces that pass the inspection are coded; if they fail, they are disposed of accordingly to prevent defective products from entering subsequent processes. This ensures the reliability of the output products of the entire production line and promotes the automation, efficiency, and standardization of the oil rail workpiece processing and manufacturing process.

[0031] The processing unit also includes a robot track 7, and the first joint robot 1 moves relative to the robot track 7.

[0032] The first joint robot 1 works in conjunction with the robot ground rail 7, which provides the first joint robot 1 with a track foundation for linear movement. When the processing unit performs oil rail workpiece processing tasks, the first joint robot 1 can achieve relative movement with the help of the robot ground rail 7.

[0033] The deburring and cleaning unit includes a gantry robot 8, a second hopper 9, and a deburring station 10.

[0034] The second hopper 9 is used to store oil rail workpieces that need to be deburred and cleaned;

[0035] The gantry robot 8 transports the oil rail workpieces to be deburred and cleaned stored in the second hopper 9 to the deburring station 10, where the oil rail workpieces to be deburred and cleaned are deburred.

[0036] The deburring and cleaning unit comprises a gantry robot 8, a second material bin 9, and a deburring station 10, which work together to complete the deburring process. First, the second material bin 9 serves as a storage component, holding the oil rail workpieces to be deburred and cleaned. When the deburring process begins, the gantry robot 8 acts as a transporter, grabbing the oil rail workpieces from the second material bin 9 and precisely transporting them to the deburring station 10. The deburring station 10 has the corresponding deburring function, performing deburring operations on the delivered oil rail workpieces to remove burrs generated during previous processing. This prepares the workpieces for subsequent cleaning and other processes, ensuring the processing quality and precision of the oil rail workpieces, and enabling the entire deburring and cleaning unit to operate smoothly, continuously driving the automated oil rail processing flow.

[0037] The deburring and cleaning unit includes a cleaning machine 11. A gantry robot 8 transports the deburred oil rail workpiece to the cleaning machine 11, and the cleaning machine 11 cleans the deburred oil rail workpiece.

[0038] After the deburring of the oil rail workpiece is completed, the gantry robot 8 performs its transport function, transferring the deburred oil rail workpiece from the deburring station to the cleaning machine 11. Subsequently, the cleaning machine 11 starts the cleaning program, using specific cleaning processes (such as high-pressure spraying, ultrasonic cleaning, etc., depending on the equipment settings) to thoroughly clean the deburred oil rail workpiece, removing residual burr debris, processing oil stains, and other impurities from the workpiece surface, so that the oil rail workpiece meets the cleanliness requirements, preparing it for the next production stage, ensuring the continuity and stability of the oil rail workpiece processing quality, and making the deburring and cleaning unit a complete closed loop process.

[0039] It also includes a packing and coding unit, which includes a third-joint robot 12 and a coding machine 13;

[0040] The third joint robot 12 transports the cleaned oil rail workpiece to the coding machine 13, which then performs coding on the cleaned oil rail workpiece.

[0041] After the oil rail workpieces complete the cleaning process, the third-joint robot 12 begins its handling task, grabbing the cleaned workpieces and smoothly transporting them to the coding machine 13. The coding machine 13 then codes the oil rail workpieces according to a preset program and information, such as the workpiece model, batch number, and production date, giving each workpiece an identifiable mark. This facilitates subsequent traceability, management, and differentiation of products from different batches. The coding unit completes the identification process for the oil rail workpieces throughout the entire production line, ensuring the integrity of product information from processing to finished product shipment.

[0042] The packing and coding unit also includes a packing and stacking machine 14, which places the coded oil rail workpieces into the inside of the packaging box.

[0043] After the oil rail workpieces are coded by the coding machine 13, the packing and stacking crane 14 starts its operation, grabs the coded oil rail workpieces, and places them orderly into the packaging box according to the pre-set packing rules and arrangement. This operation realizes the automated packing of oil rail workpieces, allowing the finished products to be neatly stored before leaving the factory, facilitating subsequent warehousing, transportation, and delivery. It also completes the functional closed loop of the packing and coding unit, providing efficient and orderly support for the finished product sorting stage of the automated oil rail machining production line.

[0044] The detection unit also includes a defective material channel 6, through which unqualified oil rail workpieces are automatically diverted to the scrap area.

[0045] After the second-joint robot 4 transports the processed oil rail workpiece to the inspection and marking station 5 for inspection, if the oil rail workpiece is deemed unqualified, the inspection and marking station 5 will trigger a corresponding transfer mechanism, and the unqualified oil rail workpiece will enter the unqualified material channel 6. The unqualified material channel 6, relying on its own conveying function, automatically transports and diverts these unqualified oil rail workpieces to the scrap area, thereby effectively separating unqualified products and preventing them from mixing into the qualified product process. This ensures that the oil rail workpieces entering subsequent deburring and cleaning units are all qualified, maintaining the product quality order of the entire production line. It allows the inspection unit to not only complete quality inspection but also to properly dispose of defective products through the unqualified material channel 6.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
