7. The implementation method of the multi-assembly-station operation safety system based on force perception is characterized by comprising the following steps of:
1) the workpiece is loaded on the rotary table in a manual carrying mode or a carrying robot carrying mode, the rotary table clamp clamps the workpiece, the main controller controls the rotary table motor to drive the rotary table to rotate through the servo driver, so that the workpiece is stopped at one side of the functional robot, and the robot carries out workpiece assembling work;
2) the servo driver transmits real-time angular velocity, position and alarm information of the rotary table to the main controller in real time to monitor and receive a control command, when the rotary table stops and an error exists or a rotary table limit proximity switch is triggered, the main controller gives an alarm and interrupts a program flow, and meanwhile, the rotary table is braked so that the robot does not continuously cooperate with the rotary table to perform subsequent assembly work;
3) in the working process, when a robot or a servo driver suddenly stops and brakes, a safety door is opened, a grating passes through the safety grating without manual request, and any condition of a shielding signal is detected to occur, the main controller controls the input of the safety IO module to disappear, a safety logic program block in the main controller takes effect, and closes a safety output to brake equipment connected with the main controller through a hard-wire safety link;
4) after the functional robot finishes working, the rotary table is rotated to one side of the upper part, the carrying robot grabs an integrated workpiece to leave a rotary area of the rotary table at a speed lower than a set speed and then moves to the next rotary table at an operation speed, in the process, when an analog signal acquired by a one-dimensional force sensor on a carrying robot clamp exceeds a set threshold value, the workpiece is indicated to be interfered with the rotary table clamp, the carrying robot and the functional robot are controlled by the robot controller to enter a pause state, the analog signal acquired by the one-dimensional force sensor is uploaded to the main controller through the robot controller to be recorded, and equipment connected with the main controller through a hard-wire safety link is recovered after manual inspection.
8. The force-aware-based multi-assembly-station operational safety system according to claim 7, wherein the step 3) is embodied as:
when the safety grating at the workpiece loading position of the station is shielded, the safety grating feeds back to an IO input module of the main controller to enable a normally closed signal of a double-circuit to disappear, a safety logic program block in the main controller stops high level output of a safety output port, and further enables coils of a relay K1 and a relay K2 to lose power, contacts corresponding to the relay K1 and the relay K2 are disconnected, and accordingly, the handling and functional robot is triggered to emergently stop through a handling and functional robot emergency stop interface, and the handling robot and the functional robot enter an emergency stop state; before the assembly station operation safety system enters the operation state again, a grating double-hand reset button used for restarting in the peripheral area of the fence needs to be pressed manually, so that the main controller recovers the high-level output of the safety output port.
9. The force-aware based multi-assembly-station operational safety system according to claim 7 or 8, wherein the devices connected to the main controller via a hard-wired safety link include a turntable motor, a turntable, a safety gate, a handling robot and a functional robot.
