Description
SPECIFICATION
Programmable System for the Screwing of
Various Mechanical Parts of Motor Vehicles to the Respective Bodies
The present invention relates to a programmable system for the screwing of various mechanical parts of motor vehicles to the respective bodies.
The main characteristic of the system according to the invention lies in the fact that this system comprises:
an endless conveyor line;
a plurality of palletisable platforms movable
along the endless conveyor line, each of
which receives successively the various
mechanical parts of a motor vehicle in a first
section of the endless conveyor iine;
means for loading a respective motor vehicle
body onto each palletisable platform at a
loading station located at the end of the first
section of the endless conveyor line;;
at least one screwing station located
downstream of the loading station and
comprising programmable screwing means
for screwing the various mechanical parts
disposed on each palletisable platform to the
respective body, and
means for unloading the respective body and
the various mechanical parts screwed
thereto from each palletisable platform at an
unloading station located downstream of the
screwing station and upstream of the first
section of the endless conveyor line.
In the present description and in the claims which follow, the expression "mechanical parts of motor vehicles" means the power unit and all the mechanical parts (transmission, suspension, steering, and the like) of the motor vehicle.
According to a further characteristic of the present invention, each palletisable platform has reference means for the positioning of the various mechanical parts and the body on the palletisable platform, these reference means being able to take up different positions relative to the palletisable platform so as to allow the system to operate with bodies of different types.
A further characteristic lies in the fact that the programmable screwing means comprise at least one screwing robot having a screwing chuck with a vertical axis, and that each palletisable platform has a plurality of vertical-axis screwing bits each having a lower end projecting below the palletisable platform and engageable by the screwing chuck of the screwing robot, and an upper end projecting above the palletisable platform and arranged to engage a corresponding bolt for fixing a mechanical part of the motor vehicle to the body.
The screwing robot comprises a head which carries the screwing chuck and is movable in a horizontal plane beneath the conveying plane of the palletisable platforms. Moreover, the system includes sensor means for detecting the position of the palletisable platform when it is stopped at the screwing station and for signalling the position detected to electronic control means for the screwing robot.
Preferably, the sensor means include two longitudinally spaced-apart feeler devices operating in a transverse direction, and a feeler device operating in a longitudinal direction, the system further including actuator means for bringing the feeler devices into contact with the palletisable platform when it is stopped at the screwing station.
In a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention, the system includes two screwing stations disposed one downstream of the other and each provided with a pair of screwing robots.
According to a further characteristic of the invention, the screwing chuck has feeler means for coming into contact with the lower end of each screwing bit before the screwing chuck engages this lower end, the feeler means being arranged to detect any departure of the screwing bit from its theoretical position and to signal this departure to the electronic control means for the screwing robot.
According to another preferred characteristic, the feeler means include four elongate tile-shaped elements disposed so as to define a tubular body supported by the head of the screwing robot and surrounding the screwing chuck coaxially, each tile-shaped element being articulated about a horizontal tangential axis close to its lower end.
A further characteristic of the invention lies in the fact that the reference means are mounted on an auxiliary platform which is supported on the palletisable platform by hydrostatic sliding blocks arranged to allow the displacement of the auxiliary platform into various operative positions corresponding to the different types of body with which the system is intended to operate.
Furthermore, the reference means are, in their turn, supported on the auxiliary platform by means of hydrostatic sliding blocks, so as to allow the engagement of the body thereon even when - the palletisable platform is at a position displaced from the theoretical position.
Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, provided purely by way of non-limiting example, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a preferred embodiment of the system according to the present invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of a palletisable platform forming part of the system of
Figure 1 with the mechanical parts and the body of a motor vehicle mounted thereon;
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a plan view and a side eievational view of two screwing stations forming part of the system of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is a section taken on the line V-V of
Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a section on an enlarged scale taken
on the line VI--VI of Figure 5;;
Figure 7 illustrates a detail of Figure 6 on an enlarged scale, and
Figure 8 is a schematic view, partially in plan, of one of the two adjoining stations illustrated in
Figures 3 and 4.
Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a programmable system for the screwing of various mechanical parts of motor vehicles to the respective bodies. This system, generally indicated 1, includes an endless conveyor line 2 and a plurality of palletisable platforms 3 movable along this line (in the anticlockwise sense with reference to Figure 1).
Each palletisable platform 3 receives successively the various mechanical parts of the motor vehicle in a first section of the line, generally indicated 4. The pailetisable platforms 3 move slowly and continuously along the section 4 of the conveyor line 2 and the various mechanical members are placed thereon manually.
Downstream of the section 4 of the conveyor line is a loading station 5 where each palletisable platform, with the various mechanical parts (engines, suspensions, transmissions, steering gear, and the like) already positioned thereon, receives the body of the vehicle to which the mechanical parts are to be screwed.
Once the loading of the body has finished, the palletisable platform is moved from the loading station 5, parallel to itself, until it is brought to a station 6 located at the beginning of a second section 5 of the endless conveyor line, which is disposed parallel to the first section 4 of the conveyor line. On the section 5 of the conveyor line, the palletisable platforms 3 move intermittently.
Two screwing stations 7, 8 are provided downstream of one another in correspondence with the second section 5 of the conveyor line, each having, as will be described in more detail below, a pair of programmable screwing robots adapted to screw the various mechanical parts on each palletisable platform to the respective body.
At the end of the second section 5 of the conveyor line 2 is an unloading station 9 where a respective motor vehicle body with the various mechanical parts screwed thereto is unloaded from each palletisable platform.
After the unloading operation, the palletisable platform moves from the unloading station 9, parallel to itself, until it reaches a station 10 located immediately upstream of the first section 4 of the conveyor line. The palletisable platform is thus ready to carry out another passage along the conveyor line 2, in the course of which it receives a new series of mechanical parts and the respective motor vehicle body.
Figure 2 illustrates schematically a side view of a palletisable platform 3 with the various mechanical parts of the motor vehicle (by way of example, the power unit 11 and the rear leafspring suspension 12, which are illustrated schematically) and the body (indicated 13) disposed thereon.
The palletisable platform 3 is provided with reference means 1 4 for the precise positioning thereon of the mechanical parts and the body 13.
These reference means 14 are carried by turrets 1 5 each of which is supported on its respective support surface with the interposition of hydrostatic or pneumatic sliding blocks. Thus, each turret 1 5 is free to move slightly in a horizontal plane to facilitate the fitting of the reference means 1 4 into the corresponding seats of the body 1 3 even when the palletisable platform stops at the loading station 5 in a position slightly displaced from the theoretical position.
Moreover, in the case of the reference means 14 intended to receive the rear part of the body, the turrets 1 5 are supported (with the interposition of the hydrostatic or pneumatic sliding blocks) on an auxiliary platform 16 which is supported, in its turn, by hydrostatic or pneumatic sliding blocks from the palletisable platform 3 so as to be displaceable between the position of Figure 2 and a position further back.
By virtue of this characteristic, the palletisable platform may be arranged to receive bodies of two different types having different lengths. More precisely, the auxiliary platform 1 6 is moved back (that is, moved rearwardly with reference to
Figure 2) when the palletisable platform 3 is intended to receive a body of a longer type (illustrated by broken lines in Figure 2).
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the two screwing stations 7, 8 provided respectively with two pairs of screwing robots 1 7, 18 and 1 9, 20.
Each of these screwing robots includes a head 21 movable in a horizontal plane beneath the conveying plane of the palletisable platforms 3.
More precisely, each robot includes a head 21 slidably mounted on a horizontal cross member 22 arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of advance of the palletisable platform, the ends of the cross member 22 being, in their turn, slidable on two longitudinal guides 23.
Figure 5 is a sectional view of a palletisable platform 3 located at the screwing station 7. The two side edges of the palletisable platform rest on two chains 24 which constitute the conveyor members of the conveyor line and are supported by a fixed structure 25.
With reference to Figures 2, 5 and 6, each turret 15 of the palletisable platform 3 rotatably supports a screwing bit 26 having a lower end 27 (see Figure 6) which projects below the plane of the palletisable platform 3 and is engageable by the upper, active end of a vertical-axis screwing chuck 28 provided on the head 21 of each screwing robot. The upper end of each screwing bit'26 projects above the turrets 1 5 and is intended to engage a corresponding bolt so as to turn it and fix a mechanical part of the motor vehicle to the body.
With reference to Figures 5 and 8, each of the two screwing stations 7, 8 is further provided with sensor means for detecting the position taken up by the palletisable platform 3 when it has stopped at the screwing station. The sensor means include two longitudinally spaced-apart feeler devices 29 operating in a transverse direction, and a feeler device 30 operating in a longitudinal direction.
The system is provided with hydraulicallyoperated actuator means (one of which is indicated 31 in Figure 5) for bringing the feeler devices 29, 30 into contact with a side wall and a front wall respectively of the palletisable platform 3 when it has stopped at the screwing station.
The feeler devices are arranged to detect the position of the palletisable platform and to signal the position detected to electronic control means of the screwing robot such that any displacements of the palletisable platform from the theoretical position can be taken into account when assigning coordinates to the points at which the screwing robot is controlled to operate.
The two screwing robots 1 7, 1 9 of the two stations 7, 8 act exclusively on bolts located in correspondence with the rear part of the body, while the two robots 18, 20 act on bolts on the front part. Moreover, each robot acts on a separate zone of the body. All this is to reduce the tirne necessary for effecting the various screwing operations by minimising the distances which the heads 21 of the screwing robots must travel.
Moreover, each screwing robot first of all effects an initial turning of the various bolts controlled thereby, after which it carries out a new cycle of turning of these bolts to complete the tightening.
Each time the screwing chuck 28 of a screwing robot reaches the coordinate of a bolt, the screwing chuck is moved axially upwardly in a first period of time, so as to engage the lower end of the corresponding screwing bit 26 and to move this bit axially upwardly whereby its upper end engages the bolt. Once this condition has been reached, the screwing chuck rotates the screwing bit 26, consequently turning the bolt. The bolts are, of course, arranged manually in their respective positions during the preliminary assembly phase of the various mechanical parts of the motor vehicle.
With reference to Figures 5 to 7, each screwing chuck 28 is provided with a feeler device 32 adapted to come into contact with the lower end of each screwing bit 26 before the screwing chuck 28 of the screwing robot engages this lower end. The feeler device 32 is arranged to detect any displacement of the screwing bit 28 from its theoretical position and to signal this displacement to the electronic control means for the screwing robot, which consequently correct
position of the screwing robot.
With reference to Figure 7, which illustrates the feeler device 32 on an enlarged scale, this device includes four elongate tile-shaped elements 33 disposed so as to define a tubular body which is supported by a body 34 mounted on the head 21 of the screwing robot and surrounds the screwing chuck 28 coaxially (see
Figure 6). Each tile-shaped element 33 is articulated on the body 34 about a horizontal tangential axis 35.
The upper part of each element 33 is inclined outwardly whereby the tubular body defined by the four elements 33 has an upper end of increasing width, so as to facilitate the fitting of the lower end 27 of the screwing bit 26 into the body. If the head 21 of the screwing robot is located in correspondence with a screwing bit 26 in such manner that the common axis of the screwing chuck 28 and the feedler device 32 are slightly offset with respect to the axis of the screwing bit 26, the subsequent upward movement of the screwing chuck causes a noncoaxial engagement of the lower end 27 of the screwing bit 26 in the upper end of the feeler device 32. Consequently, one or more of the tileshaped elements 33 pivots about its articulation 35, signalling the existence and the degree of the displacement of the screwing chuck relative to the actual position of the screwing bit. The electronic control means of the screwing robot can consequently correct the position.
Naturally, the principle of the invention remaining the same, the constructional details and forms of embodiment may be varied widely with respect to that described and illustrated, purely by way of example, without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention.
