Detailed Description
To further illustrate the present invention, the following detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings for a method and a device for controlling the installation and positioning of a vehicle body roof according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, a method for controlling installation and positioning of a vehicle body roof according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
step S11: the vehicle body is moved to a specified position, and the degree of freedom of the vehicle body in the spatial coordinate system is restricted.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the control conveyance device 61, which may be a transport roller machine, conveys the vehicle body 62 to a specified work position (i.e., a specified position). After the vehicle body moves to the designated position, the positioning mechanism is matched with a positioning structure on a chassis of the vehicle body, so that the degree of freedom of the vehicle body in a space coordinate system is limited. The degree of freedom in the space coordinate is the degree of freedom in the direction of the XYZ coordinate axis in the whole vehicle coordinate system.
Step S12: the roof is moved to the theoretical mounting position and the freedom of the roof in the spatial coordinate system is limited.
The top cover is placed on the centering stand through the control robot, and the top cover is moved to the theoretical installation position. Wherein, the centering pallet is a location frock, fixes the position of top cap through this centering pallet. The theoretical installation position refers to the position of a top cover drawing under a finished automobile coordinate system. The degree of freedom of the top cover in a spatial coordinate system is limited by the reference mechanical positioning of the centering stand. The degree of freedom in the space coordinate is the degree of freedom in the direction of the XYZ coordinate axis in the whole vehicle coordinate system.
In one embodiment, after the top cover is placed on the centering stand, the current position coordinate P of the top cover is obtained0The current position coordinates of the top cover can be acquired through a visual sensor, and other modes can also be adopted for acquiring. Obtaining the current position coordinate P of the top cover0Then, the current position coordinate P is judged0Whether the position coordinates of the top cover are consistent with the drawing position coordinates of the top cover under the whole vehicle coordinate system or not. And if the position coordinates of the top cover are not consistent with the position coordinates of the drawing, the position of the top cover is adjusted according to the position coordinates of the drawing, namely the current position coordinates of the top cover are adjusted to be consistent with the position coordinates of the drawing, so that the top cover is located at the theoretical installation position P. If the current position of the top cover is consistent with the theoretical installation position P, the current position of the top cover is the theoretical installation position P.
Through the embodiment, the position of the top cover can be adjusted through the stand reference of the position of the top cover in the whole vehicle manufacturing link, and the position adjustment of the top cover is simplified.
Step S13: a vehicle body deviation amount between the specified position and a target position of the vehicle body is acquired.
It can be known that, after the automobile body passed through the movement equipment and moved to the assigned position, because of equipment process accuracy scheduling problem, the automobile body still has certain deviation with actual target location, in order to guarantee the accuracy that top cap and automobile body combine, improves the accuracy of combination, consequently needs to acquire the deviation volume between the assigned position of automobile body and the target location of automobile body.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, at least one zero calibration device 71 is mounted around the designated location. Preferably on both sides of the designated position, zero-checking devices 71 are mounted. Wherein, the two sides of the designated position refer to the two sides of the length of the vehicle body when the vehicle body is at the designated position.
Shooting is carried out by adopting a vision sensor 72 to carry out shooting on the zero calibration device 71 so as to obtain a three-dimensional coordinate measured value O of a zero point1And further obtaining a three-dimensional coordinate measurement value O of the zero point1Comparing with the pre-stored preset zero coordinate value O to calculate the three-dimensional coordinate deviation value theta of the zero point, namely theta is equal to O1-O。
Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, a set of three-dimensional spatial coordinate measurements of a plurality of vital points on body 62 is acquired using vision sensor 72. Specifically, a plurality of feature points suitable for collection are selected on the vehicle body, and the vehicle body 62 is scanned and shot by the vision sensor 72 to obtain three-dimensional space coordinate measurement values of the plurality of feature points, which are recorded as t1、t2……tnIts three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value set t1,t1…tnThe symbol is marked T.
As shown in fig. 8, the vision sensor 72 of the present embodiment may be mounted on the robot, and as shown in fig. 9, the vision sensor 72 may be fixedly mounted, but the present application is not limited thereto. The present embodiment employs a laser imaging measurement technique by a vision sensor,to obtain three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value set T of a plurality of physical sign points on the vehicle body and three-dimensional coordinate measurement value O of a zero point1
In order to ensure that the selected characteristic points can fully represent the size state of the vehicle body and fully consider the lapping relation between the vehicle body and the top cover, the splicing effect of the vehicle body and the top cover can be better ensured. Here, selection of a plurality of feature points is defined.
In an embodiment, the feature points include a plurality of first feature points and a plurality of second feature points. On the side walls on two sides of the width direction of the vehicle body, a plurality of first characteristic points are selected along two ends of the length direction of the vehicle body, and a plurality of second characteristic points are selected at the top of the vehicle body.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, the positions of the second feature points 100 are selected by collecting at least two second feature points 100 near the top of the vehicle body and the position matched with the roof, respectively, based on the principle that the distance between the second feature points 100 is the maximum. To cope with the potential problem of non-uniformity in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction front and rear ends of the vehicle body. By measuring each second feature point 100 at least twice, the obtained result is used as a basis for calculating the deviation in the vehicle body width direction.
In one embodiment, a plurality of circular holes or circular grooves near the top of the vehicle at the position where the roof is matched are selected as the plurality of second feature points 100. And the included angle between the plane of the vehicle body structure where the plurality of second characteristic points 100 are respectively located and the horizontal plane is within the preset included angle range.
Preferably, the predetermined included angle ranges from-10 to + 10.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 11, the plurality of second feature points 100 are respectively located at a portion of the top of the vehicle body where the dog-ear structure is provided. More specifically, the plurality of second characteristic points 100 are selected on a structure having a distinct style line on the top of the vehicle body. At this time, the angle line of the included angle of the cross section of the structure with the vision sensor facing the modeling line needs to be measured.
Preferably, the included angle between the two sides of the bevel structure is smaller than or equal to a preset angle. Specifically, the preset included angle is 150 °.
The outer diameter of the included angle is not too large, so that two edges of the folded angle structure can be clearly grabbed in the measurement coverage range.
And further, calculating to obtain the current three-dimensional space coordinate value set of the plurality of characteristic points according to the three-dimensional coordinate deviation value and the three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value set.
Specifically, the three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value set T of a plurality of sign points and the obtained three-dimensional coordinate deviation value θ of the zero point are superimposed to obtain current three-dimensional space coordinate values of a plurality of feature points, and the current three-dimensional space coordinate values are recorded as m1、m2……mnIts current set of three-dimensional spatial coordinate values { m }1,m2……mnMark M, i.e.: m ═ T + θ; and determining the current position of the vehicle body according to the current three-dimensional space coordinate value set of the plurality of feature points.
And further, calculating the vehicle body deviation amount according to a preset three-dimensional space coordinate value set of the plurality of characteristic points and the current three-dimensional space coordinate value set.
Specifically, comparing the current three-dimensional space coordinate value set M with a pre-stored preset three-dimensional space coordinate value set M of a plurality of feature points of the vehicle body0I.e. vehicle body deviation δ being M-M0
In step S14, the actual attachment position of the roof is calculated from the theoretical attachment position and the vehicle body deviation amount.
Specifically, the acquired theoretical mounting position P of the roof is superimposed on the vehicle body deviation δ, and the actual mounting position P of the roof is calculated1I.e. P1=P+δ。
In step S15, the roof panel is moved to the actual installation position and placed vertically downward on the vehicle body.
Specifically, the position of the top cover is adjusted to the actual mounting position P by controlling the robot1And vertically moving downwards to place the top cover on the vehicle body, so that the top cover is overlapped with the vehicle body.
Further, under the condition that the clamp of the robot assists in clamping, the relative position of the vehicle body and the roof is kept unchanged. Then, the vehicle body and the vehicle roof are connected into a whole by adopting electric welding, laser welding and other modes.
Before the clamp assists in clamping, the measurement of the relative positional relationship between the vehicle body and the roof can be confirmed again to perform the functions of confirmation and error correction again. If the found deviation still exists between the top cover and the vehicle body, the robot is controlled to correct the deviation, or the robot is controlled to grab the top cover to the initial position, and the process of installing and positioning the ejector rod is restarted.
After the top cover welding is finished, the robot is controlled to detach the top cover clamp on the vehicle body and move the top cover clamp to the initial position so as to prepare for the installation of the next top cover.
And finally, separating the vehicle body from the positioning mechanism, and transporting the vehicle body away from the specified position through the mechanical transportation equipment.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a mounting and positioning device of a car body top cover, which comprises a movement control module 10 and a position determining module 20, as shown in fig. 2.
The movement control module 10 is configured to move the vehicle body to a specified position, limit the degree of freedom of the vehicle body in a space coordinate system, move the roof to a theoretical installation position, and limit the degree of freedom of the roof in the space coordinate system; a position determination module 20 configured to acquire a vehicle body deviation amount between the designated position and a target position of the vehicle body, and calculate an actual mounting position of the roof cover according to the theoretical mounting position and the vehicle body deviation amount; and the movement control module 10 is also configured to move the roof cover to the actual installation position and place the roof cover vertically downward on the vehicle body.
Specifically, the movement control module 10 controls a mechanical transportation device, which may be a transportation rolling machine, to transport the vehicle body to a designated working position (i.e., a designated position). After the vehicle body moves to the designated position, the positioning mechanism is matched with a positioning structure on a chassis of the vehicle body, so that the degree of freedom of the vehicle body in a space coordinate system is limited. The degree of freedom in the space coordinate is the degree of freedom in the direction of the XYZ coordinate axis in the whole vehicle coordinate system.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the movement control module 10 includes a determining unit 101 and an adjusting unit 102. The judging unit 101 is configured to acquire a current position coordinate of the top cover and judge whether the current position coordinate is consistent with a drawing position coordinate of the top cover in a finished automobile coordinate system; the adjusting unit 102 is configured to adjust the position of the top cover according to the drawing position coordinate when the current position coordinate is not consistent with the drawing position coordinate, so as to move the top cover to the theoretical installation position.
Specifically, the top cover is placed on the centering stand by controlling the robot, and the top cover is moved to a theoretical installation position. The theoretical installation position refers to the position of a top cover drawing under a finished automobile coordinate system. The degree of freedom of the top cover in a spatial coordinate system is limited by the reference mechanical positioning of the centering stand. The degree of freedom in the space coordinate is the degree of freedom in the direction of the XYZ coordinate axis in the whole vehicle coordinate system.
In an embodiment, after the top cover is placed on the centering stage, the determining unit 101 obtains the current position coordinate P of the top cover0The current position coordinates of the top cover can be acquired through a visual sensor, and other modes can also be adopted for acquiring. Determining unit 101 acquires current position coordinate P of top cover0Then, the current position coordinate P is judged0Whether the position coordinates of the top cover are consistent with the drawing position coordinates of the top cover under the whole vehicle coordinate system or not. If the position coordinates of the top cover are not consistent with the position coordinates of the drawing, the adjusting unit 102 adjusts the position of the top cover according to the position coordinates of the drawing, that is, the current position coordinates of the top cover are adjusted to be consistent with the position coordinates of the drawing, so that the top cover is located at the theoretical installation position P. If the current position of the top cover is consistent with the theoretical installation position P, the current position of the top cover is the theoretical installation position P.
Through the embodiment, the position of the top cover can be adjusted through the stand reference of the position of the top cover in the whole vehicle manufacturing link, and the position adjustment of the top cover is simplified.
As shown in fig. 4, the position determination module 20 includes a zero calibration unit 201, a calculation unit 202, and an acquisition unit 203.
It can be known that, after the automobile body passed through the movement equipment and moved to the assigned position, because of equipment process accuracy scheduling problem, the automobile body still has certain deviation with actual target location, in order to guarantee the accuracy that top cap and automobile body combine, improves the accuracy of combination, consequently needs to acquire the deviation volume between the assigned position of automobile body and the target location of automobile body.
In one embodiment, at least one zero calibration device is installed around the designated location. Preferably, zero-checking devices are installed on both sides of the designated position. Wherein, the two sides of the designated position refer to the two sides of the length of the vehicle body when the vehicle body is at the designated position.
The zero calibration unit 201 shoots the zero calibration device by using a vision sensor to obtain a three-dimensional coordinate measurement value O of the zero point1And further the calculation unit 202 will obtain the three-dimensional coordinate measurement value O of the zero point1Comparing with the pre-stored preset zero coordinate value O to calculate the three-dimensional coordinate deviation value theta of the zero point, namely theta is equal to O1-O。
Further, the acquisition unit 203 acquires three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value sets of a plurality of sign points on the vehicle body by using a vision sensor. Specifically, a plurality of characteristic points suitable for collection are selected on the vehicle body, and the vehicle body is scanned and shot by adopting a vision sensor to obtain three-dimensional space coordinate measurement values of the characteristic points, wherein the three-dimensional space coordinate measurement values are recorded as t1、t2……tnIts three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value set t1,t1…tnThe symbol is marked T.
The vision sensor of the present embodiment may be mounted on a robot, or may be fixedly mounted, and the present application is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the vision sensor adopts a laser imaging measurement technique to obtain three-dimensional space coordinate measurement value sets T of a plurality of sign points on the vehicle body and three-dimensional coordinate measurement value O of a zero point1
In order to ensure that the selected characteristic points can fully represent the size state of the vehicle body and fully consider the lapping relation between the vehicle body and the top cover, the splicing effect of the vehicle body and the top cover can be better ensured.
