[0022] See Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application provides a combined tooling device for a split flange and bolts, comprising: Flange transport line 1, bolt transport line 2, flange lifting mechanism 3, bolt translation mechanism 4, unloading mechanism 5, storage tray 6, and controller; The flange lifting mechanism 3 is located at the end of the flange transport line 1 and is used to carry the split flange 7, including a first state coplanar with the flange transport line 1 and a second state in which the split flange 7 is lifted to a first preset height. The bolt translation mechanism 4 is disposed at the end of the bolt transport line 2 and is used to carry the bolts 8 on the bolt transport line 2. It includes a third state corresponding to the bolt transport line 2 and a fourth state in which it is translated to the top of the flange lifting mechanism 3. In the vertical direction, the bolt translation mechanism 4 and the bolt transport line 2 are separated from the flange transport line 1 by a second preset height. The first preset height is less than or equal to the second preset height. The feeding mechanism 5 is disposed at the first end of the flange lifting mechanism 3 along the first direction, and the storage tray 6 is disposed at the second end of the flange lifting mechanism 3 along the first direction. The first end and the second end are disposed opposite to each other. The feeding mechanism 5 and the storage tray 6 correspond to the flange lifting mechanism 3 in the second state. The feeding mechanism 5 includes a fifth state in which it does not intersect with the flange lifting mechanism 3, and a sixth state in which it extends at least a first distance along the first direction to the second end. The first distance is greater than or equal to the second distance from the storage tray 6 to the feeding mechanism 5 in the fifth state. The controller, connected to the bolt translation mechanism 4, the flange lifting mechanism 3, and the unloading mechanism 5, is used to send control state switching signals to the bolt translation mechanism 4, the flange lifting mechanism 3, and the unloading mechanism 5.

[0023] The assembly tooling equipment for split flanges and bolts provided in this embodiment includes: a flange transport line 1, a bolt transport line 2, a flange lifting mechanism 3, a bolt translating mechanism 4, a feeding mechanism 5, a storage tray 6, and a controller. The flange transport line 1 is used to transport the split flanges 7 to be assembled. The flange lifting mechanism 3 is located at the end of the flange transport line 1. When the equipment is started, the split flanges 7 located on the flange transport line 1 are transported to the flange lifting mechanism 3, awaiting assembly with the bolts 8. Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown; the bolt transport line 2 is used to transport bolts 8 to be assembled. The bolt translation mechanism 4 is located at the end of the bolt transport line 2. When the equipment is started, the bolts 8 located on the bolt transport line 2 are transported to the bolt translation mechanism 4, waiting to be assembled with the split flange 7. During assembly, firstly, with the split flange 7 supported on the flange lifting mechanism 3, the bolt translation mechanism 4 is controlled by the controller to move from the third state corresponding to the bolt transport line 2 to the fourth state above the flange lifting mechanism 3, so that the bolts 8 carried by the bolt translation mechanism 4 are moved above the split flange 7 carried by the flange lifting mechanism 3, as shown. Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, specifically, in the vertical direction, the bolt translation mechanism 4 and the bolt transport line 2 are spaced from the flange transport line 1 by a second preset height greater than the first preset height, so that the bolt translation mechanism 4 can be moved above the flange lifting mechanism 3, thereby facilitating assembly. After the bolt translation mechanism 4 switches to the fourth state, the controller controls the flange lifting mechanism 3 to switch from the first state, which is coplanar with the flange transport line 1, to the second state, which lifts the split flange 7 to the first preset height. At this time, the assembly of the split flange 7 and the bolts 8 is completed by lifting the split flange 7, as shown. Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown.

[0024] After assembly, the controller will control the unloading mechanism 5 located at the first end of the flange lifting mechanism 3 along the first direction to switch from the fifth state, which does not intersect with the flange lifting mechanism 3, to the sixth state, which extends at least a first distance towards the second end along the first direction, thereby pushing the assembled split flange 7 into the stacking tray located at the second end of the flange lifting mechanism 3 along the first direction, thus realizing the storage of the assembled split flange 7.

[0025] In summary, the operation of the above mechanism enables the automatic assembly of the split flange 7 and bolts 8, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0026] It should be noted that after the assembled split flange 7 is stored, the controller will control the flange lifting mechanism 3, bolt translation mechanism 4, and unloading mechanism 5 to return to their initial states to facilitate the next flange assembly. Specifically, the bolt translation mechanism 4 returns to the third state, the flange lifting mechanism 3 returns to the first state, and the unloading mechanism 5 returns to the fifth state.

[0027] See Figure 2 or Figure 3 Specifically, in the combined tooling equipment described above, the flange lifting mechanism 3 further includes: The first telescopic mechanism 301 is connected to the controller and includes a first retracted state that puts the flange lifting mechanism 3 in the first state and a first extended state that puts the bolt translation mechanism 4 in the second state. The support platform 302 is connected to the extended end of the first telescopic mechanism 301. The support platform 302 is provided with mounting holes (such as those on the split flange 7) for connection with the extended end of the first telescopic mechanism 301. Figure 2 or Figure 3 The through-holes are indicated by the red fill in the image. The positioning mechanism 303 is disposed on the side of the bearing platform 302 facing the first telescopic mechanism 301, and is disposed corresponding to the through hole; When the first telescopic mechanism 301 receives a first signal sent by the controller, it switches to the first extended state. The first signal is sent when the bolt translation mechanism 4 switches to the fourth state. When it receives a second signal sent by the controller, it switches to the first retracted state. The second signal is sent when the feeding mechanism 5 switches to the sixth state.

[0028] This embodiment illustrates the specific structure of the flange lifting mechanism 3. The flange lifting mechanism 3 includes a support platform 302 for supporting the split flange 7, and a first telescopic mechanism 301 for driving the support platform 302 to move vertically. The first telescopic mechanism 301 is connected to a controller. When the bolt translation mechanism 4 switches to the fourth state, the controller sends a first signal to the first telescopic mechanism 301. Based on this first signal, the first telescopic mechanism 301 switches from a first retracted state to a first extended state, thus switching the entire flange lifting mechanism 3 from the first state to the second state for assembling the bolts 8 and the split flange 7. When the unloading mechanism 5 switches to the sixth state, the controller sends a second signal to the first telescopic mechanism 301, causing the first telescopic mechanism 301 to switch from the first extended state to the first retracted state, so that the support platform 302 can support the new split flange 7.

[0029] Specifically, the bearing platform 302 is provided with through holes corresponding to the mounting holes on the split flange 7, and the side of the bearing platform 302 facing the first telescopic mechanism 301 is provided with a positioning structure corresponding to the through holes. Through the through holes, the positioning mechanism 303 and the mounting holes on the bolts 8, the accurate assembly of the bolts 8 and the flange is ensured.

[0030] See Figure 2 or Figure 3 Specifically, in the combined tooling equipment described above, the positioning mechanism 303 includes: The positioning cylinder is connected to the controller and includes a seventh state in which the through hole is not penetrated and an eighth state in which the through hole is penetrated and the bearing platform 302 is exposed. The first flange detection sensor is connected to the controller and is used to detect the split flange 7 on the bearing platform 302; When the flange detection sensor detects the presence of a new split flange 7 on the bearing platform 302, the controller sends a positioning signal to the positioning cylinder. The positioning signal is used to cause the positioning cylinder to switch between the seventh state and the eighth state at least twice.

[0031] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the positioning mechanism 303 is illustrated. The positioning mechanism 303 includes a positioning cylinder connected to the controller and a first flange detection sensor. When the first flange detection sensor detects a new split flange 7 on the support platform 302, it will notify the controller via a signal. Based on this, the controller sends a positioning signal to the positioning cylinder. The positioning cylinder switches at least twice between a seventh state where no through hole is provided and an eighth state where a through hole is provided and the support platform 302 is exposed, in order to ensure accurate positioning of the split flange 7.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the positioning cylinder is preferably a pin cylinder.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Specifically, in the combined tooling equipment described above, the bolt translation mechanism 4 includes: The second telescopic mechanism 401 includes a second retracted state that puts the bolt translation mechanism 4 into the third state, and a second extended state that puts the bolt translation mechanism 4 into the fourth state. The bolt connector 402 is connected to the extended end of the second telescopic mechanism 401, and a bolt locking groove 4021 for bearing the bolt 8 is provided on the side facing the bolt transport line 2. A first bolt 8 detection sensor is connected to the controller and is used to detect the bolt 8 on the bolt connector 402; When the second bolt 8 detection sensor detects a new bolt 8 on the bolt connector 402, the controller sends a third signal to the second telescopic mechanism 401, which is used to switch the second telescopic mechanism 401 to the second extended state. Alternatively, when the second bolt 8 detection sensor detects that the bolt 8 has detached from the bolt connector 402, the controller sends a fourth signal to the second telescopic mechanism 401, which is used to switch the second telescopic mechanism 401 to the second retracted state.

[0034] This embodiment illustrates the specific structure of the bolt translation mechanism 4. The bolt translation mechanism 4 includes a second telescopic mechanism 401 connected to the controller, a bolt connector 402, and a first bolt 8 detection sensor. The extended end of the second telescopic mechanism 401 is connected to the bolt connector 402. The bolt connector 402 has a bolt retaining groove 4021 (e.g., for carrying the bolt 8) on the side facing the bolt transport line 2. Figure 4 As shown), the first bolt 8 is used to detect bolts 8 on the bolt connector 402; when a new bolt 8 is detected in the bolt slot 4021 of the bolt connector 402, the controller sends a third signal to the second telescopic mechanism 401. The second telescopic mechanism 401 switches from the second retracted state to the second extended state according to the third signal, thereby causing the bolt translation mechanism 4 to switch from the third state to the fourth state. When the second bolt 8 detection sensor detects that the bolt 8 has detached from the bolt connector 402, it sends a fourth signal to the second telescopic mechanism 401. The fourth signal is used to switch the second telescopic mechanism 401 to the second retracted state so as to carry the new bolt 8.

[0035] Preferably, the combined tooling equipment described above further includes: A displacement mechanism for the storage tray 6 (not shown in the figure) is connected to the storage tray 6 and is used to push the storage tray 6 to move along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The controller is also connected to the displacement mechanism of the storage tray 6. When the number of times the feeding mechanism 5 switches to the sixth state reaches a first preset number, it sends a fifth signal to the displacement mechanism of the storage tray 6. The fifth signal is used to drive the storage tray 6 to move a first preset distance along the second direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the aforementioned combined tooling equipment also includes a storage tray 6 displacement structure connected to the storage tray 6, used to push the storage tray 6 to move along the second direction, so as to provide a new storage position for the assembled split flanges 7. Specifically, when the feeding mechanism 5 switches to the sixth state a first preset number of times, it is determined that the number of assembled split flanges 7 stored in the first direction has reached the upper limit of the storage tray 6 in the first direction. At this time, a fifth signal is sent to the storage tray 6 displacement mechanism, so that the storage tray 6 displacement mechanism drives the storage tray 6 to move a first preset distance along the second direction, thereby providing a new row of assembled split flanges 7 for storage by translating the storage tray 6. This achieves automatic arrangement of the assembled split flanges 7.

[0037] Preferably, the combined tooling equipment described above further includes: An alarm mechanism (not shown in the figure) is connected to the controller; When the number of times the storage pan 6 is moved by the displacement mechanism reaches a second preset number or the distance of displacement reaches a second preset distance, the controller sends an alarm signal to the alarm mechanism.

[0038] In this embodiment, the combined tooling equipment also includes an alarm mechanism connected to the controller. When the number of times the storage tray 6 is driven to move by the displacement mechanism reaches a second preset number or the distance of the displacement reaches a second preset distance, it is determined that the storage limit of the storage tray 6 in the second direction has been reached. At this time, the controller sends an alarm signal to the alarm mechanism so that the alarm mechanism can sound an alarm, so that nearby workers can replace the storage tray 6.

[0039] Preferably, in the combined tooling equipment described above, both the flange transport line 1 and the bolt transport line 2 are linear vibration mechanisms.

[0040] In this example, both the flange transport line 1 and the bolt transport line 2 are linear vibration mechanisms. Through the vibration of the vibrating guide rails, the split flange 7 or bolts 8 are guided to the designated mating area according to a predetermined posture. This achieves rapid and efficient motion transmission between the split flange 7 and bolts 8 through a simple structure, reducing energy loss and improving the overall system efficiency, while also facilitating manufacturing and maintenance. Furthermore, the linear vibration mechanism has a certain length, allowing for multiple split flanges 7 and bolts 8 on the linear vibration mechanism, which helps improve assembly efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, in the combined tooling equipment described above, the bolt transport line 2 includes two linear vibration mechanisms.

[0042] In this embodiment, since the split flange 7 is generally provided with two mounting holes, the bolt transport line 2 in this application includes two linear vibration mechanisms, and the distance between the ends of the two linear vibration mechanisms corresponds to the diameter of the two mounting holes, so that the bolts 8 are set to correspond with the mounting holes on the split flange 7.

[0043] See Figure 1 Preferably, the combined tooling equipment described above further includes: Flange vibratory feeder 9, the output end of which is connected to the output end of flange transport line 1; A bolt vibratory feeder 10 is provided, the output end of which is connected to the output end of the bolt transport line 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the combined tooling equipment also includes: a flange vibratory feeder 9 connected to the output end of the flange transport line 1, and a bolt vibratory feeder 10 connected to the output end of the bolt transport line 2. The vibratory feeder enables the automatic output of the split flange 7 and bolts 8, while also facilitating the neat arrangement of the flanges and bolts 8, reducing production space and production costs.

[0045] It should be noted that the flange vibratory feeder 9 and the bolt vibratory feeder 10 are separated from the areas used for assembling the bolts 8 and the split flange 7, in order to avoid affecting the assembly accuracy and thus the assembly efficiency.

[0046] Preferably, the combined tooling equipment described above further includes: The second flange detection sensor is connected to the controller and is used to detect the number of flanges on the flange transport line 1; The second bolt 8 detection sensor is connected to the controller and is used to detect the number of bolts 8 on the bolt transport line 2; When the second flange detection sensor detects that the number of flanges on the flange transport line 1 has reached a preset number of flanges, the controller sends a stop signal to the flange transport line 1 and / or the flange vibratory feeder 9; when the second bolt 8 detection sensor detects that the number of bolts 8 on the bolt transport line 2 has reached a preset number of bolts 8, the controller sends a stop signal to the bolt transport line 2 and / or the bolt vibratory feeder 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, the system further includes a second flange detection sensor for detecting the number of flanges on the flange transport line 1 and a second bolt 8 detection sensor for detecting the number of bolts 8 on the bolt transport line 2. By detecting the number of flanges on the flange transport line 1, the controller can send a stop signal to the flange transport line 1 and the flange vibratory feeder 9 when the specified number of flanges is reached, thereby stopping the flange transport line 1 and / or the flange vibratory feeder 9. Similarly, by detecting the number of bolts 8 on the bolt transport line 2, the controller can send a stop signal to the bolt transport line 2 and the bolt vibratory feeder 10 when the preset number of bolts 8 is reached, thereby stopping the bolt transport line 2 and / or the bolt vibratory feeder 10. This helps to save costs.

[0048] It should be noted that the first flange detection sensor, the first bolt 8 detection sensor, the second flange detection sensor, and the second bolt 8 detection sensor in this application include, but are not limited to, diffuse reflection switches, electromagnetic proximity switches, etc. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0049] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0050] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
