[0064] The automatic material collecting device for the air conditioner wall hanging plate can be as shown in the drawings and comprises a material guiding mechanism 10, a material collecting mechanism 20 and a control module. Figure 1 The material guiding mechanism 10 comprises a material guiding channel 11, a shunt plate 12, a channel partition plate 13 and a mechanical transmission element; the shunt plate 12 and the channel partition plate 13 are arranged on the plane of the material guiding channel 11 and cooperatively form two material guiding channels 14; the material collecting mechanism 20 comprises a material collecting box 21; the material collecting box 21 contains five rows of two columns of material compartments, and the two columns of material compartments are respectively aligned with the two material guiding channels. In actual application, two material guiding mechanisms, a material collecting mechanism and a control module can be used to form the automatic material collecting device for the air conditioner wall hanging plate; one of the material guiding mechanisms comprises a material guiding channel, a shunt plate, two channel partition plates and a mechanical transmission element; the shunt plate and the two channel partition plates cooperatively form three material guiding channels. Correspondingly, the material collecting box contains five rows of six columns of material compartments, and the six columns of material compartments are respectively aligned with the six material guiding channels in the automatic material collecting device for the air conditioner wall hanging plate for collecting the wall hanging plates.

[0065] It should be noted that the values of the number K of the material guiding mechanisms, the number N of the channel partition plates and the number M of the rows of material compartments in the material collecting box in the automatic material collecting device for the air conditioner wall hanging plate are all examples given by the embodiments of the present application and can be adjusted according to actual needs and should not be regarded as a limitation on the present application.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the material guiding channel is a groove type channel comprising two side walls and a plane, and the material guiding channel is connected with the discharge port of the punch machine. After the punch machine punches the roll material into the wall hanging plate, the wall hanging plate is pushed out of the discharge port of the punch machine, and the wall hanging plate moves to the material guiding channel due to the inertial effect and moves along the material guiding channel to the shunt plate region under the limitation of the side walls; the material guiding channel can be divided into multiple material guiding channels through the cooperation of the shunt plate and the channel partition plate, and by changing the position of the shunt plate, several material guiding channels can be blocked by the shunt plate, and only one material guiding channel is left for the wall hanging plate to pass through, and the wall hanging plate moves along the material guiding channel to the corresponding material compartment in the material collecting box to complete the automatic material collecting of the wall hanging plate.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, the moving mode of the shunt plate includes lifting or rotating; in actual application, the shunt plate can be arranged in each material guiding channel respectively, and by controlling the lifting of the shunt plate, a specific material guiding channel opening is opened, and the rest of the material guiding channel openings are blocked; or one end of each of the two shunt plates is arranged on the side wall, and by controlling the rotation of the two shunt plates, the two shunt plates are rotated to a specific position to block a plurality of material guiding channels, so that there is only one material guiding channel in the material guiding mechanism that is not blocked.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the mechanical transmission element can include but is not limited to a cylinder, and it can be understood that the mechanical transmission element adopted by the present application is not limited.

[0069] Further, the material guiding mechanism 10 in the embodiments of the present application further comprises a turning mechanism 15.

[0070] The turning mechanism 15 is arranged on the side wall of the material guiding channel 11, and when the wall hanging plate 30 enters the material guiding channel 11, the turning mechanism 15 touches one end of the wall hanging plate 30 to make the wall hanging plate 30 rotate by an angle W with the touching point as the center.

[0071] The difference between the width of the material guiding channel 11 and the width of the turning mechanism is less than the length of the wall hanging plate 30 and greater than the width of the wall hanging plate 30.

[0072] Further, in actual application, the turning mechanism 15 can be a baffle, a block or a pulley arranged on the side wall of the material guiding channel.

[0073] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the implementation form of the turning mechanism is not limited to the above-mentioned baffle, block or pulley, that is, the implementation form of the turning mechanism given above should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, the angle W is in the range of 75° to 105°.

[0075] Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, the angle W is 90°.

[0076] Further, the material guiding mechanism 10 in the embodiments of the present application further comprises a tool support 16.

[0077] The tool support 16 is connected with the material guiding channel 11, and is used to elevate one end of the wall hanging plate 30 received by the material guiding channel 11, so that the wall hanging plate 30 can pass through the material guiding channel 11 under the action of gravity.

[0078] In actual application, the tool support can be a fixed-height support or an adjustable-height support. By setting different support heights, the inclination angle of the material guide channel in the horizontal direction can be changed, so as to change the moving speed of the wall-hanging plate on the material guide channel.

[0079] The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic material collecting device, a shunt plate and a plurality of channel partition plates are arranged on a material guide channel, through cooperation of the shunt plate and the channel partition plates, a plurality of material guide channels can be formed, and through control of the position of the shunt plate by a mechanical transmission element, only one of the plurality of material guide channels is not blocked by the shunt plate, so as to limit the movement of the wall-hanging plate on the specific material guide channel, so that the output wall-hanging plate moves to the material collecting box aligned with the material guide channel, thereby realizing automatic collection of the air conditioner wall-hanging plate; meanwhile, the storage position of the wall-hanging plate is limited by the material grid in the material collecting box, so that the wall-hanging plates are neatly and orderly stacked in the material collecting box, avoiding deformation of the wall-hanging plates caused by mutual extrusion; since the number of the material guide channels is consistent with the number of columns of the material grid in the material collecting box, and the material guide channel port is aligned with the material grid one by one, therefore, after one material grid is full, the material guide channel for the movement of the wall-hanging plate is changed by changing the position of the shunt plate, so that the wall-hanging plate moves to another empty material grid, without moving the material collecting box left and right, the replacement of the material collecting position can be realized.

[0080] Embodiment two

[0081] Corresponding to the device shown in the above embodiment one, the embodiment of the present application will describe an implementation of the shunt plate in the device.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the shunt plate 12 at least includes a first shunt plate 121 and a second shunt plate 122.

[0083] The material guide channel 11 is provided with a shunt plate through hole, the shunt plate 12 can be raised from the plane bottom of the material guide channel 11 through the shunt plate through hole, or the shunt plate 12 can be lowered below the plane of the material guide channel 11 through the shunt plate through hole;

[0084] When the first shunt plate 121 is lowered, the shunt plates other than the first shunt plate are all raised, so that only one material guide channel in the material guide channel is available for the wall-hanging plate.

[0085] The separation end point of the channel partition plate is defined as the end of the channel partition plate away from the material collecting box.

[0086] Taking the case of two shunt plates as an example for description:

[0087] Referring to Figure 1 , the shunt plate 12 includes a first shunt plate and a second shunt plate.

[0088] Correspondingly, the material guiding mechanism 10 has only one channel partition plate 13, which separates the material guiding channel into two material guiding channels 14.

[0089] One end of the first and second shunt plates respectively abuts against two side walls of the material guiding channel 11, and the other end abuts against the separated end point of the channel partition plate 14. The first and second shunt plates can be raised or lowered along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the material guiding channel through the shunt plate through hole on the material guiding channel 11. When the first shunt plate is raised above the plane of the material guiding channel, the second shunt plate is lowered below the plane of the material guiding channel, so that the material guiding channel on the side of the first shunt plate is blocked by the first shunt plate, and the wall hanging plate passes through the material guiding channel on the side of the second shunt plate and falls into the material bin aligned with the material guiding channel. When the material bin is full, the first shunt plate is lowered and the second shunt plate is raised, so that the wall hanging plate passes through the material guiding channel on the side of the first shunt plate and falls into another empty material bin.

[0090] Taking the case of three shunt plates as an example:

[0091] The shunt plates include a first shunt plate, a second shunt plate and a third shunt plate. The material guiding mechanism includes a first channel partition plate and a second channel partition plate. The first channel partition plate, the second channel partition plate and the two side walls of the material guiding channel separate the material guiding channel into three parallel material guiding channels.

[0092] One end of the first shunt plate abuts against one side wall of the material guiding channel and the separated end point of the first channel partition plate, and the other end abuts against the separated end point of the first and second channel partition plates. One end of the third shunt plate abuts against the other side wall of the material guiding channel and the separated end point of the second channel partition plate, and the other end abuts against the separated end point of the second channel partition plate.

[0093] When the second shunt plate is lowered, the first and third shunt plates are raised, so that among the three material guiding channels, only the middle material guiding channel is not blocked by the shunt plate, so that the wall hanging plate falls into the corresponding material bin along the middle material guiding channel. When the material bin is full, the second shunt plate is raised and the first shunt plate is lowered, so that the wall hanging plate can only fall into another empty material bin along the material guiding channel on the side of the first shunt plate.

[0094] The shunt plate structure shown in the embodiment of the present application controls the shunt plate so that at the same time, only one shunt plate among the shunt plates drops below the material guide way plane, and the rest of the shunt plates are all above the material guide way plane, blocking the material guide channel at the corresponding position, so as to realize the effect of limiting the wall hanging plate to pass through a specific material guide channel and fall into a specific material grid, so as to achieve the effect of switching the material grid without moving the material collection box along the material grid row direction. The device does not need to manually adjust the relative position of the material grid and the material guide channel, saves the labor cost in the production process, and improves the work efficiency of the wall hanging plate production and packaging.

[0095] Embodiment three

[0096] Corresponding to the device shown in the above embodiment one, the embodiment of the present application will describe another implementation of the shunt plate in the device.

[0097] Figure 2 Another structure diagram of the automatic material collection device for the air conditioner wall hanging plate shown in the embodiment of the present application.

[0098] Reference Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the shunt plate 12 includes a first shunt plate 121 and a second shunt plate 122.

[0099] The first shunt plate 121 and the second shunt plate 122 are respectively connected to the two side walls of the material guide way 11 through the connection mode of the revolute pair, so that the first shunt plate 121 and the second shunt plate 122 can respectively rotate around the connection point on the plane of the material guide way 11.

[0100] The material guide way 11 is provided with N+2 rotating fixed points; among the N+2 rotating fixed points, two rotating fixed points are respectively located on the two side walls of the material guide way 11, and the remaining N rotating fixed points are respectively located at the separation end points of the N channel partition plates 13; the separation end point is an end of the channel partition plate 13 away from the material collection box 21.

[0101] Taking the rotating fixed points on the side wall where the first shunt plate 121 and the second shunt plate 122 are located as the first rotating fixed point and the N+2 rotating fixed point, when the first shunt plate rotates to the i th rotating fixed point, the second shunt plate rotates to the i+1 th rotating fixed point, so that only one material guide channel 14 in the material guide way 11 can be passed through by the wall hanging plate 30, and the i is a positive integer in the range of 1 to N+1.

[0102] Taking the case that the number of channel partition plates is 3 as an example for description:

[0103] When the material guiding mechanism comprises 3 channel partitions, the material guiding channel is divided into 4 material guiding channels; taking the direction of the first shunt plate pointing to the second shunt plate as the positive direction, then the 4 material guiding channels can be defined as the first material guiding channel, the second material guiding channel, the third material guiding channel and the fourth material guiding channel in turn along the positive direction, and the 3 channel partitions can be defined as the first channel partition, the second channel partition and the third channel partition in turn along the positive direction.

[0104] The process of controlling the hanging plate movement direction by moving the shunt plate is as follows:

[0105] When the first shunt plate is attached to one side wall of the material guiding channel, the second shunt plate rotates around the connecting point along the material guiding channel plane until the second shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the first channel partition, at this time, the second material guiding channel, the third material guiding channel and the fourth material guiding channel are all blocked by the second shunt plate, and the hanging plate can only fall into the corresponding material grid A through the first material guiding channel;

[0106] When the material grid A is full, the first shunt plate and the second shunt plate rotate in the same direction by the same angle, so that the first shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the first channel partition and the second shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the second channel partition, so that the first material guiding channel is blocked by the first shunt plate, and the third material guiding channel and the fourth material guiding channel are all blocked by the second shunt plate, and the hanging plate can only fall into the corresponding material grid B through the second material guiding channel;

[0107] When the material grid B is full, the first shunt plate and the second shunt plate rotate in the same direction by the same angle, so that the first shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the second channel partition and the second shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the third channel partition, so that the first material guiding channel and the second material guiding channel are all blocked by the first shunt plate, and the fourth material guiding channel is all blocked by the second shunt plate, and the hanging plate can only fall into the corresponding material grid C through the second material guiding channel;

[0108] When the material grid C is full, the first shunt plate and the second shunt plate rotate in the same direction by the same angle, so that the first shunt plate active end meets the separation end point of the third channel partition and the second shunt plate active end meets the other side wall of the material guiding channel, so that the first material guiding channel, the second material guiding channel and the third material guiding channel are all blocked by the first shunt plate, and the hanging plate can only fall into the corresponding material grid D through the fourth material guiding channel.

[0109] Since the material grids A to D are located in the same row and different columns of the material collecting box, the rotation of the shunt plate can switch the column where the current material collecting grid is located without moving the material collecting box along the row direction.

[0110] The shunt plate structure shown in the embodiments of the present application controls the rotation of the shunt plate so that the movable ends of the two shunt plates are connected to the two sides of the same material guiding channel at the same time, and the remaining material guiding channels are blocked by the two shunt plates, thereby realizing the limitation of the wall hanging plate through a specific material guiding channel and falling into a specific material grid, so as to achieve the effect of switching the material grid without moving the material collecting box along the row direction of the material grid. The device does not need to manually adjust the relative position of the material grid and the material guiding channel, saves the labor cost in the production process, and improves the work efficiency of the wall hanging plate production and packaging.

[0111] Embodiment Four

[0112] Corresponding to the device shown in the above embodiment one, the embodiments of the present application design the implementation form of the material collecting function of the device.

[0118] In the embodiments of the present application, when a row of material grids in the material collecting box is full, the conveying belt drives the material collecting box to move along the column direction of the material grid by one or more row distances of the material grid, so that the empty material grid in another row is aligned with the material guiding channel at this time.

[0119] It should be noted that the above description of the conveying mechanism is only an example in the embodiments of the present application, and other transmission devices can also be used to move the material collecting box along the column direction of the material grid in actual application, for example, a mechanical gripper or a cylinder pushing device.

[0122] Embodiment five

[0123] Corresponding to the first embodiment, the embodiments of the present application show another implementation form of the material receiving function.

[0124] In the embodiments of the present application, the material receiving mechanism 20 comprises a material receiving box 21; the material guide mechanism 10 further comprises a liftable support.

[0125] The liftable support is arranged at one end of the material guide channel 11 connected with the material receiving box 21, and the horizontal displacement of the wall hanging plate falling can be changed by raising the liftable support, so that the wall hanging plate 30 falls into the material grid in different rows.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present application, after the liftable support is raised to a certain height, the horizontal displacement of the wall hanging plate falling into the material grid along the material guide channel will increase by a certain value, which is equal to the row distance of one row of material grids in the material receiving box, at this time, the material guide channel will be aligned with the empty material grid in another row, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the row of the material grid where the wall hanging plate falls.

[0127] The embodiments of the present application show a liftable support, by controlling the height of the liftable support, the horizontal displacement of the wall hanging plate falling can be changed, so that the row of the material grid where the wall hanging plate finally falls changes, so that after the material grid is full, the full material grid is automatically switched to the empty material grid, the wall hanging plate is collected, manual adjustment of the material receiving box is not required, the automation of the material receiving on the wall hanging plate production line is completed, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0128] Embodiment six

[0129] Corresponding to the foregoing device embodiments, the present application also provides an air conditioner wall hanging plate automatic material receiving device control method and corresponding embodiments.

[0130] Figure 3 is a flowchart of the air conditioner wall hanging plate automatic material receiving device control method shown in the embodiments of the present application.

[0131] Referring to Figure 3 , the air conditioner wall hanging plate automatic material receiving device control method comprises:

[0132] 301, reading the movement count value;

[0133] Specifically, reading the movement count value of the movement counter in the control module.

[0134] 302, determining whether the movement count value is equal to the movement threshold value;

[0135] If yes, step 307 is executed;

[0136] If no, step 303 is executed.

[0137] Specifically, this step can be described as: determining whether the movement count value is equal to the movement threshold value, if yes, pausing the punch press and issuing a full material prompt; if no, reading the outfeed count value of the punch press and determining whether the outfeed count value is equal to the first bin threshold value.

[0138] 303, reading the outfeed count value and determining whether the outfeed count value is equal to the first bin threshold value;

[0139] If yes, step 304 is executed;

[0140] If no, step 303 is re-executed.

[0141] Specifically, this step can be described as: reading the outfeed count value of the punch press and determining whether the outfeed count value is equal to the first bin threshold value, if no, re-reading the outfeed count value until the outfeed count value reaches the first bin threshold value; if yes, switching the passage of the wall hanging plate movement.

[0142] 304, switching the passage of the wall hanging plate movement;

[0143] In the embodiments of the present application, the method for switching the passage of the wall hanging plate movement comprises:

[0144] issuing a switching instruction to instruct the mechanical transmission element to raise the jth lowered sub-flow plate and lower the j+1th sub-flow plate, wherein j is a positive integer.

[0145] It should be noted that the above description of the process of switching the passage of the wall hanging plate movement is only an example, and in actual application, another method can also be used to switch the passage of the wall hanging plate movement.

[0146] Another method for switching the passage of the wall hanging plate movement comprises:

[0147] issuing a rotation instruction to instruct the mechanical transmission element to control the first sub-flow plate and the second sub-flow plate to rotate in the same direction by the same angle, so that the first sub-flow plate rotates from the ith rotation fixed point to the i+1th rotation fixed point.

[0148] 305. Read the discharge count value and determine whether the discharge count value is equal to the second material grid threshold;

[0149] If yes, execute step 306;

[0150] If not, step 305 is executed again.

[0151] Specifically, this step can be expressed as: after switching the channel for the movement of the wall-mounted plate, read the discharge count value of the punching machine to determine whether the discharge count value is equal to the second material grid threshold; if not, re-read the discharge count value until the discharge count value reaches the second material grid threshold; if so, switch the row of the material grid where the wall-mounted plate falls.

[0152] 306. Switch the row of the material grid into which the wall-mounted plate falls;

[0153] Specifically, after the row of the material grid into which the wall-mounted panel falls is switched, the movement count value is incremented by one, the discharge count value is reset to zero and then counted again, and the process returns to step 301 until step 307 is executed. That is, the row of the material grid into which the wall-mounted panel falls is switched, the movement count value is incremented by one, the discharge count value is reset to zero and then counted again, and the movement count value is reread until the movement count value reaches the movement threshold.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, the method for switching the row of the material grid into which the wall-mounted plate falls includes:

[0155] A lifting instruction is issued to drive the liftable bracket to rise to a preset height value, so that when the wall-mounted plate slides out of the material guide channel, the horizontal displacement distance increases by the row spacing of one row of the material grid.

[0156] In an embodiment of the present application, the preset height value is a preset parameter obtained through pre-calculation and stored in the control module. Every time the liftable bracket is raised to the preset height value, the horizontal displacement of the wall-mounted plate when it falls into the material grid along the material guide channel will increase by a specific value, which is equal to the row spacing of a row of material grids in the material receiving box.

[0157] It should be noted that in actual application, the preset height value can be adjusted according to the size of the material grid, or it can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the preset height value can be adjusted so that every time the liftable bracket is raised to the preset height value, the horizontal displacement of the wall-mounted plate falling into the material grid along the material guide channel will increase by a distance equivalent to multiple row spacing of the material grid.

[0158] Furthermore, when using the above-mentioned automatic collecting device for air-conditioning wall-mounted panels to automatically collect wall-mounted panels, the operator can first call or input a preset height value in the system, and then start the automatic collecting device for air-conditioning wall-mounted panels to automatically collect the panels.

[0159] It should be noted that the above description of switching the row where the wall hanging plate falls into the bin is only an example, and in actual application, another method can be used to switch the row where the wall hanging plate falls into the bin.

[0160] Another method for switching the row where the wall hanging plate falls into the bin includes:

[0161] The movement instruction is issued to instruct the conveying mechanism to start, and drive the material receiving box to move a row distance of the bins.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present application, a translation parameter can be set so that the transmission mechanism moves according to the translation parameter. The translation parameter can be set to one or more row distances of the bins to meet different needs in actual production. In the embodiment of the present application, one row distance of the bins is used as the translation parameter, so that when a row of bins in the material receiving box is full, the material receiving box moves a distance of a row of bins, and another row of empty bins is aligned with the material guide channel to receive the wall hanging plate.

[0163] 307, stop and issue a full material prompt.

[0164] In the embodiment of the present application, when the movement count value of the movement counter in the control module reaches the movement threshold value, it indicates that the material receiving box on the material receiving mechanism is full of wall hanging plates, and an empty material receiving box needs to be supplemented for the collection of wall hanging plates.

[0165] The full material prompt includes a prompt for supplementing an empty material receiving box.

[0166] The implementation of the full material prompt in the embodiment of the present application is not strictly limited, and in actual application, an interactive panel can be used to display prompt information or a sound and light alarm device can be used for prompting.

[0167] It can be understood that the above description of the full material prompt should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application.

[0168] It should be noted that the above control method of the air conditioner wall hanging plate automatic material receiving device is based on a two-column bin material receiving box, and in actual application, the control method should be adaptively adjusted for different specifications of the material receiving box. For example, for a material receiving box with three columns of bins, a third bin threshold judgment process is adaptively added based on the above control method, so that after the first and second columns of bins are full, the third column of bins is switched to collect the wall hanging plate.
