Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for connecting at least two components according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a method for connecting at least two components and a device for performing such a method are, for example DE 10 2007 033 126 B4 as known.
  • the at least two components are connected to one another by means of at least one joining element in the form of a nail, the joining element being introduced into the components at a joint.
  • the nail is driven into the components at a high speed, the speed being between five and three hundred meters per second.
  • the DE 10 2006 002 237 A1 discloses a method for connecting a first component to at least one second component by means of at least one nail, which is introduced into the components at a joint.
  • the nail is driven into the components at a speed, the speed being between ten meters per second and one hundred meters per second.
  • a method for producing a nail connection between at least two non-pre-punched components in a joining area by means of a nail inserted into the components essentially without rotation by a setting tool is known. It is provided that in a first method step the nail is first only partially driven into the components into an intermediate position by means of a sudden movement at high speed in the joining area. The nail is then pressed fully into a final position in the components in a second process step. In the second process step, the nail is pressed into the end position at a speed, the Speed in the second process step is lower than the speed in the first process step.
  • the nail can be designed as a bolt or setting bolt, the known methods also being referred to as bolt setting or as a bolt setting method. These methods are also known as Rivtac or Impact. The conventional methods are very expensive and noise-intensive.
  • the WO 2014/013232 A1 discloses a method of making a connection in a stack of at least two sheets of material.
  • the CN 101 934 337 A1 discloses a riveting system.
  • DE 10 2010 006 404 A1 a method for producing a nail connection as known.
  • the DE 10 2009 009 112 A1 which forms the basis for the preamble of claim 1, describes a structural component for a motor vehicle, for example a B-pillar, a sill or a bumper cross member, which has a base body made of sheet metal.
  • the base body is partially provided with at least one reinforcing element which is glued to the base body.
  • the base body and the reinforcement element are fixed by means of setting bolts without pre-punching.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset by means of which the components can be connected to one another in a particularly cost-effective and low-noise manner.
  • the joining element by means of an industrial robot at a speed of less than five meters per second is pressed into the components.
  • the industrial robot has a plurality of robot arms and a robot head which are connected to one another in an articulated manner and are therefore movable relative to one another. Furthermore, a device is held on the robot head, which is moved around in space by means of the industrial robot, in order to thereby connect the components to one another.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that, in the conventional methods designed as high-speed joining methods, the joining element is driven into the components at a very high speed, which is also referred to as setting speed, with complex and thus particularly cost-intensive systems, for example in the form of this of bolt setting systems are required.
  • a very high speed which is also referred to as setting speed
  • cost-intensive nail guns and / or cartridges operated by powder power are usually required.
  • the high speed usually results in volumes of over 130 decibels. This high volume is generated by vibrations that result from high setting speeds with which the joining element usually strikes the components. Because of this high volume, cost-intensive and inflexible soundproof booths are usually used. Since the speed, that is, the setting speed of the joining element is particularly low in the method according to the invention, the use of cost-intensive systems and soundproofing cabins is not necessary.
  • the rigidity requirements for the components are particularly low.
  • the components can thus be connected to one another particularly firmly by means of the method according to the invention.
  • the complexity of a sensor system for monitoring the method can be kept low in comparison to conventional methods.
  • the joining element is, for example, a nail or a screw or a rivet which is pressed into the components so that the nail or the screw or the rivet penetrates the components.
  • the nail can be a bolt, which is also referred to as a set bolt. So is the method is designed, for example, as a bolt-setting method in which the nail (bolt) is pressed into the components at a very low speed of less than five meters per second. As a result, excessive vibrations and noises resulting from the vibrations can be avoided.
  • a system by means of which the nail is pressed into the components can be designed in a particularly simple and thus inexpensive manner.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective side view of a device in the form of an industrial robot 10 for performing a method, in the frame of which a first component is connected to at least one second component, in particular a motor vehicle.
  • the components are, for example Body components.
  • the industrial robot 10 has a base 12, via which the industrial robot 10 is fastened to a floor.
  • the industrial robot 10 has a plurality of robot arms 14, 16, 18 and 20, which are also referred to as axes or robot axes.
  • the industrial robot 10 comprises a robot head 22 which is movably held on the robot arm 20.
  • the robot arms 14, 16, 18, 20 and the robot head 22 are connected to one another in an articulated manner, so that they can be moved relative to one another.
  • Fig. 1 On the robot head 22 one in Fig. 1 Not shown device arranged so that this device can be moved around in space by means of the industrial robot 10.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to connect the components to one another by means of the industrial robot 10 by means of at least one joining element in the form of a nail, the nail being introduced, that is to say pressed in, by means of the industrial robot 10 at a joint at a joint.
  • the components are arranged, for example, relative to one another such that the components overlap one another at least in a respective overlap region.
  • the joint is arranged in the overlap areas so that the nail penetrates the overlap areas.
  • the nail is pressed into the components by means of the industrial robot 10 at a speed of less than five meters per second.
  • this low speed which is also referred to as the setting speed, prevents excessive vibrations of the components and the resulting excessive noise.
  • the nail is, for example, a bolt, which is also referred to as a set bolt.
  • the method is thus designed as a bolt setting or bolt setting method in which the bolt is driven into the components at a very low speed, that is to say particularly slowly.
  • the industrial robot 10 represents an electric drive by means of which the nail, which is also called tack, is pressed directly and slowly into the components.
  • a holder can be used in a further method not belonging to the invention for pressing the nail into the components.
  • a holder is a device for holding and separating the nail.
  • the holder has a predeterminable mass, the holder and with it the nail being accelerated to a predeterminable speed of less than five meters per second. This makes it possible to drive the nail into the components that form a composite component. This allows the nail to be pressed into the components with a particularly high level of energy.
  • Such a holder which is used in the further method not belonging to the invention, can for example be arranged on the industrial robot 10, in particular on the robot head 22, so that the holder and the nail can be moved around in space by means of the industrial robot 10.
  • a movement of the nail which is decoupled from the industrial robot 10 and can be effected by the holding device can be realized.
  • the holder has a guide carriage, by means of which the nail can be moved relative to the industrial robot 10 and thus at least substantially independently of it. In this way it can be realized, for example, that a force acting on the nail when it is driven in is not transmitted to the industrial robot 10.
  • a pneumatic or hydraulic press not belonging to the invention can be used to drive the nail.
  • a pneumatic or hydraulic press not belonging to the invention can be used to drive the nail.
  • the use of an automated hammer, a pulse drive or a servo drive for pushing in the nail is conceivable.
  • the joining element can be driven into the components, for example, in a multi-stage joining process.
  • driving the joining element in the components are made by means of at least two different joining devices.
  • the joining element in a first process step, can first be pressed only partially into the components into an intermediate position by means of an automated hammer and then in a second process step can be fully pressed into an end position by means of an industrial robot.
  • Fig. 2 shows a device according to a variant not belonging to the invention, by means of which the nail can be driven into the components.
  • Fig. 2 is shown to illustrate the driving in of the nail one of the components, which in Fig. 2 is designated with 24.
  • the device shown is designed as a drop tower 26.
  • the drop tower 26 comprises two guide elements, which in the present case are designed as guide rods 28.
  • the drop tower 26 further comprises a guide carriage in the form of a guide plate 30 which has through openings 32.
  • the guide rods 28 penetrate the corresponding through openings 32 so that the guide plate 30 can be moved translationally along the guide rods 28 relative to the guide rods 28.
  • the joint at which the nail is pressed into the component 24 is shown in Fig. 2 designated with 34.
  • the nail is in Fig. 2 shown particularly schematically and designated 36.
  • the guide plate 30 is moved away from the component 24 along the guide rods 28.
  • the guide plate 30 has a predeterminable mass.
  • the nail 36 also has a predeterminable mass.
  • the predeterminable mass of the nail 36 and the predeterminable mass of the guide plate 30 form a total mass.
  • the guide plate 30 and with it the nail 36 held on the guide plate 30 are moved away from the component 24 in such a way that a predeterminable distance between the nail 36 and the component 24 is set. This distance is set such that the nail 36 has a speed of less than five meters per second when it hits the component 24 and penetrates it.
  • the guide plate 30 is released in the variant not belonging to the invention, so that the guide plate 30 and the nail 36 are accelerated to the adjustable speed of less than five meters per second only due to gravity.
  • the guide plate 30 with the nail 36 is dropped by gravity, thereby providing the energy for the joining process.
  • the Guide plate 30 has a mass of three kilograms, the particular height or the distance between the component 24 and the nail 36 being set to one meter, for example.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further device 38 for pushing in the nail 36 at a speed of less than five meters per second.
  • a counter-holder 40 can also be seen, on which the component 24 rests.
  • the counter-holder 40 is used so that the component 24 or the components cannot avoid the nail 36 in its driving direction, but rather the nail 36 can penetrate the components.
  • the nail 36 is pressed into the components in the driving direction at a speed of less than five meters per second, the driving direction in Fig. 3 is illustrated by a direction arrow 42.
  • the device 38 can be designed as a pneumatic device, hydraulic device or electromechanical device.
  • the nail 36 is first arranged and held on the device 38. Subsequently, the nail 36 is pressed into the components in the driving direction by means of the device 38, whereby the components in FIG Fig. 3 the component identified by 24 is recognizable. Since excessive vibrations and noises are avoided due to the low setting speed, the use of cost-intensive and inflexible soundproof walls and soundproof booths can also be dispensed with. As a result, a particularly short cycle time can also be achieved, which is usually extended by opening the doors of the soundproof booths and / or rotating turntables or moving component feeders. This can now be avoided so that, for example, a particularly large number of components can be connected to one another in a particularly short time as part of mass production.
  • the joining element 36 using an industrial robot 10 to a Is pressed into the components 24 at a speed of less than five meters per second
  • the method and the device 10, 26, 38 can also be used only for reworking a head protrusion or a joining element 36 which is not fully pressed into the components 24.
