then, the three shafts are positioned right above the bolts 1-3 in a linkage manner, and the bolts are screwed according to the distance control;
then, the three shafts are positioned right above the bolts 1-6 in a linkage manner, and the bolts are screwed according to the distance control;
Then, the three shafts are positioned right above the bolts 1-2 in a linkage manner, and the bolts are screwed according to the distance control;
and finally, positioning the three shafts to be right above the bolts of 1-5 in a linkage manner, and screwing the bolts according to the distance control.
in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 4 and 10, the distance-controlled bolt screwing is adopted, and after a group of 6 bolts are screwed, the bolt screwing is controlled according to the cross-sequence torque, which includes the following steps:
the three shafts are positioned right above the bolt in a linkage manner, the Z shaft 43 passes through the safety height, the C shaft 44 directly rotates to the angle when the distance control is triggered, and then the C shaft descends to the height when the distance control is triggered, so that the sleeve 46 can be accurately sleeved in the bolt head; screwing the bolt by descending the spiral interpolation, wherein the spiral descending interpolation is equal to the spiral line of the bolt; the XY axis 42 is enabled under servo, and the stress of the XY axis 42 caused by inaccurate positioning is effectively avoided in the bolt screwing process; when the set torque is reached, the lower part of the rotating shaft C shaft 44 is enabled, the tightly attached sleeve 46 and the bolt head are loosened, so that the sleeve 46 can smoothly rise, and the Z shaft 43 rises to a safe height;
in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 4 and 10, the bolt-screwing robot is a three-axis or more robot of a SCARA type, a rectangular coordinate robot type, or a six-axis joint robot type; the bolts are socket head, hex head, cross slot or slotted head, each having a mating socket 46 or wrench, which may be mounted at the end of a robot for execution.
In the above four embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the safety height is very important, if the hexagonal head is screwed 1-1 and still in the sleeve, the Z axis does not rise to the safety height, and the collision occurs when the hexagonal head is directly positioned 1-4 in a three-axis linkage manner, and if the hexagonal head is screwed 1-5 in the group 1 and still in the sleeve, the hexagonal head does not rise to the safety height, and the collision occurs when the hexagonal head is directly positioned 2-1 in a three-axis linkage manner, and in order to ensure safety, all the up-and-down actions and the three-axis linkage positioning must pass through the safety height and reach the safety height.
in the above four embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to 10, the robot for screwing the bolt is a robot of three or more axes of a SCARA type, a rectangular coordinate robot type, or a six-axis joint robot type, and the bolt is a hexagon socket head, a hexagon head, a cross slot, or a straight slot head, which are preferable solutions in the above four embodiments, and the robot of three or more axes including a mechanical type of six axes or other types is applicable to the present invention, and other types of bolts, threads, sleeves, and wrenches are also applicable to the present invention.
in summary, in the embodiments, the torque control bolt screwing method provided by the embodiments provides a plurality of methods for finding the positions of the threads and the positions of the bolt heads according to the structural characteristics of the product, so that the threads and the bolt heads can be quickly and accurately positioned, the distance control and the torque control bolt screwing methods can be used, and all the bolts can be screwed up in one operation according to different axial positions and quantities.
the above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any person skilled in the art can substitute or change the technical solution of the present invention and its conception within the scope of the present invention.
