Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a transfer device for forming vehicle cover plates. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive parts manufacturing industry, the forming of vehicle cover plates usually requires multiple processes, including stamping, forming, welding, and testing. The transfer device for vehicle cover plate forming is a key piece of equipment in automotive manufacturing that connects the forming process with subsequent processing and warehousing. It needs to take into account functions such as efficient transmission, precise positioning, flexible adaptation, and product protection.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN104309670A, which discloses a transfer device for automotive sunroof products. The device includes a tooling base with two brackets (first type) fixed to the upper end and two brackets (second type) fixed to the lower end. Multiple rubber limiting posts are provided on both brackets (first and second types). These rubber limiting posts are mounted on the brackets via movable bolts, which are used to adjust the spacing between the rubber limiting posts. In this sunroof product transfer device, the sunroof product, after being stamped, can be directly placed on the transfer device. Products can be placed between the two upper brackets and the two lower brackets of the base. The distance between the two brackets is set... The product is 1-2mm longer than the product, and the distance between the limiting posts is 5mm greater than the product thickness. The limiting posts are made of rubber, which can effectively protect the surface of the sunroof product from damage caused by collisions. The base is protected by skin around the perimeter, which can protect the staff from being scratched by the product surface. The product is placed safely and is easy to use, which improves the efficiency of post-processing. However, the industry generally uses manual and simple mechanical devices for product transfer. Due to the error of manual operation and the insufficient positioning accuracy of simple mechanical devices, the product is prone to positional deviation during the transfer process, which will affect the processing accuracy and product quality of subsequent processes, and the efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a transfer device for forming vehicle cover plates, which aims to improve the problems of errors caused by manual operation and insufficient positioning accuracy of simple mechanical devices in the prior art, which easily lead to positional deviations of products during the transfer process, thereby affecting the processing accuracy and product quality of subsequent processes, as well as low efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transfer device for forming vehicle cover plates, comprising a base, a transmission mechanism installed on the top of the base for facilitating the transfer of workpieces, a fixing mechanism installed inside the transmission mechanism for adjusting the workpieces; the transmission mechanism includes a support column, the support column being equidistantly fixedly connected to the rear side of the top wall of the base, a transfer platform installed in the middle of the top wall of the base, an installation plate installed on the inner wall of the transfer platform, a robotic arm installed on the top of the support column, a limit block being fixedly connected to the left end of the robotic arm, a fixing frame being slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit block, a gripping plate being fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the fixing frame, and multiple fixing plates being fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the fixing frame at equal intervals.

[0006] The above technical solution involves two support columns on the base, with a robotic arm mounted on the top of each column, and a gripping plate at the end of each robotic arm.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: A fixing block is fixedly connected to the left side of the top wall of the robotic arm. A limit plate is provided on the left side of the fixing block. The limit plate is connected to the robotic arm. A pull rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block and the limit plate. A long plate is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod. Multiple connecting blocks are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the long plate.

[0008] The above technical solution works as follows: when the gripping plate needs to be replaced, first pull the lever. The lever causes the long plate and its outer wall connecting block to slide outward within the limiting plate and the fixing block. The sliding rod on the right side of the outer wall of the long plate will also slide within the limiting plate. As the sliding rod slides, it will compress the spring. After pulling out the lever, the connecting block will slide out of the inner wall of the fixing plate.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The connecting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate. Multiple sliding rods are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the right side of the outer wall of the long plate. The sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate, and springs are installed on the outer wall of the sliding rods.

[0010] The above technical solution allows the new gripping plate to slide down along the limiting block. When the pull rod is released, the spring will quickly rebound and push the long plate, causing the connecting block on the outer wall of the long plate to insert into the fixed plate, forming a stable connection. This method is convenient to operate, facilitates equipment maintenance, and improves equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The fixing mechanism includes a housing, which is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the left and right sides of the top wall of the transfer platform. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the housing, and a helical gear II is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod.

[0012] Through the above technical solution: after the gripping plate places the product on the transfer platform, the motor is started. The motor drives the rotating shaft and the helical gear 1 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously in the mounting plate. After the helical gear 1 rotates, it drives the helical gear 2 that meshes with it. The helical gear 2 drives the connecting rod to rotate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: The upper part of the outer wall of the connecting rod is threaded with a protrusion, and the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the outer shell are slidably connected with a locking block. The locking block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protrusion, and the top of the locking block is fixedly connected with a clamping plate.

[0014] The above technical solution involves a connecting rod driving a protrusion, which allows the protrusion to move up and down within the housing. When the protrusion moves, it pulls and compresses the locking block, thereby causing the locking block to drive the clamping plate to open and close.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: The inner wall of the mounting plate is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with multiple helical gears at equal intervals. The helical gears mesh with the helical gears. A motor is fixedly connected to the front side of the top wall of the mounting plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0016] The above technical solution secures the product on top of the transfer station, ensuring accurate product positioning, improving positioning precision, reducing manual intervention, minimizing human error, and adapting to the production needs of vehicle cover plates of different specifications.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution: A controller is installed on the top wall of the base, and the controller is installed on the front right end of the top wall of the base.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the controller is connected in real time to the power transmission module, positioning module and clamping mechanism of the transfer device.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution: The controller is equipped with a display screen on its top, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the top wall of the controller.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the main interface of the display screen shows the overall operating status of the transfer device in a graphical way, allowing operators to intuitively grasp the operating status without having to get close to the device, thus reducing the workload of inspection.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the new gripping plate slides down along the limiting block, the pull rod is released, and the spring will quickly rebound to push the long plate, so that the connecting block on the outer wall of the long plate is inserted into the fixed plate to form a stable connection. The operation is convenient, the equipment maintenance is convenient, and the equipment maintenance efficiency is improved. When the equipment is operating, the first gripping plate grabs the product from the previous process and places it on the transfer table. Then the fixed mechanism adjusts the position of the product. The second gripping plate grabs the positioned product from the transfer table and transfers it to the next process. This realizes high-precision transfer of the vehicle cover between the upper and lower processes and improves production efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, after the gripping plate places the product on the transfer platform, the motor is started. The motor drives the rotating shaft and the helical gear 1 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously in the mounting plate. After the helical gear 1 rotates, it drives the helical gear 2 that meshes with it. The helical gear 2 drives the connecting rod to rotate. The connecting rod drives the protrusion, so that the protrusion can move up and down in the outer shell. When the protrusion moves, it pulls and compresses the locking block, thereby causing the locking block to drive the clamping plate to open and close, fixing the product on the top of the transfer platform. This ensures the accuracy of the product position, improves the positioning accuracy, reduces manual intervention, reduces human error, and adapts to the production needs of different specifications of vehicle cover plates.

The transmission mechanism 2 includes a support column 213, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top wall of the base 1 at equal intervals. A transfer platform 214 is installed in the middle of the top wall of the base 1. An installation plate 4 is installed on the inner wall of the transfer platform 214. A robotic arm 209 is installed on the top of the support column 213. A limit block 204 is fixedly connected to the left end of the robotic arm 209.

Multiple sliding rods 211 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the right side of the outer wall of the long plate 205. The sliding rods 211 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit plate 206. A spring 210 is installed on the outer wall of the sliding rods 211. Specifically, the base 1 has two support columns 213, and a robotic arm 209 is installed on the top of each support column 213. A gripping plate 201 is located at the end of each robotic arm 209. When the gripping plate 201 needs to be replaced, first pull the lever 208. The lever 208 causes the long plate 205 and its connecting block 212 on its outer wall to slide outwards within the limiting plate 206 and the fixing block 207. The sliding rod 211 on the right side of the outer wall of the long plate 205 also slides within the limiting plate 206. As the sliding rod 211 slides, it compresses the spring 210. After pulling out the lever 208, the connecting block 212 slides out of the inner wall of the fixing plate 203. Then, the fixing frame 202 slides upwards along the outer wall of the limiting block 204 to retrieve the gripping plate. The lower gripper 201 slides down along the limit block 204. The pull rod 208 is released, and the spring 210 will quickly rebound to push the long plate 205, so that the connecting block 212 on the outer wall of the long plate 205 is inserted into the fixing plate 203 to form a stable connection.

This realizes the high-precision transfer of the vehicle cover between the upper and lower processes and improves the production efficiency.

Specifically, after the gripping plate 201 places the product on the transfer table 214, the motor 306 is started. The motor 306 drives the rotating shaft 309 and the helical gear 307 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 309 to rotate synchronously within the mounting plate 4. After the helical gear 307 rotates, it drives the helical gear 308 that meshes with it. The helical gear 308 drives the connecting rod 305 to rotate. The connecting rod 305 drives the protrusion 303, so that the protrusion 303 can move up and down within the outer shell 304. When the protrusion 303 moves, it pulls and compresses the locking block 302, thereby causing the locking block 302 to drive the clamping plate 301 to open and close, fixing the product on the top of the transfer table 214.

[0029] Working principle: The base 1 has two support columns 213, each topped with a robotic arm 209. The ends of the robotic arms 209 are equipped with gripping plates 201. When the gripping plate 201 needs to be replaced, first pull the lever 208.

The sliding rod 211 on the right side of the outer wall of the long plate 205 also slides within the limiting plate 206. As the sliding rod 211 slides, it compresses the spring 210. After pulling out the lever 208, the connecting block 212 slides out of the inner wall of the fixing plate 203. Then, the fixing frame 202 slides upwards along the outer wall of the limiting block 204. Remove the gripping plate 201, slide the new gripping plate 201 down along the limiting block 204, release the pull rod 208, and the spring 210 will quickly rebound and push the long plate 205, so that the connecting block 212 on the outer wall of the long plate 205 is inserted into the fixing plate 203 to form a stable connection. The operation is convenient, the equipment maintenance is convenient, and the equipment maintenance efficiency is improved. When the equipment is operating, after the first gripping plate 201 grabs the product from the previous process, it is placed on the transfer table 214. Then the fixing mechanism 3 adjusts the position of the product. The second gripping plate 201 grabs the positioned product from the transfer table 214 and transfers it to the next process. This realizes the high-precision transfer of the vehicle cover between the upper and lower processes and improves the production efficiency. After the gripping plate 201 places the product on the transfer table 214, the motor 306 is started. The motor 306 drives the rotating shaft 309 and the helical gear 307 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 309 to rotate synchronously within the mounting plate 4. After the helical gear 307 rotates, it drives the helical gear 308 that meshes with it. The helical gear 308 drives the connecting rod 305 to rotate. The connecting rod 305 drives the protrusion 303, so that the protrusion 303 can move up and down within the outer shell 304. When the protrusion 303 moves, it pulls and compresses the locking block 302, thereby causing the locking block 302 to drive the clamping plate 301 to open and close, fixing the product on the top of the transfer table 214. This ensures the accuracy of the product position, improves the positioning accuracy, reduces manual intervention, reduces human error, and adapts to the production needs of different specifications of vehicle cover plates.
