[0002] With the continuous development and advancement of technology, industrial automation is becoming increasingly widespread, using automated machinery to replace manual operation in order to improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. Although the main production processes of air conditioning equipment have largely achieved automation, some processes still rely on manual operation.

[0003] Motor brackets are a component of motor mounting. Currently, after production, motor brackets are typically stacked manually for easy transport to the next processing stage. However, this traditional manual stacking method is inefficient. Handling motor brackets for extended periods leads to fatigue and hand pain, and prolonged operation increases the risk of errors and compromises work quality, failing to meet the demands of ever-increasing production volumes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for automated motor bracket stacking equipment to replace manual stacking. Summary of the Invention

[0074] The first telescopic mechanism 15 and the second telescopic mechanism 16 are equipped with contact sensors, which are respectively mounted on the first telescopic stop bar 153 and the second telescopic stop bar 163.

[0075] The robotic arm 2 includes a base 21, a first robotic arm 22, a second robotic arm 23, and a clamp 24.

The reserved space prevents subsequent motor brackets 3 from affecting the already stacked motor brackets 3.

[0079] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The motor bracket 3 is conveyed on the conveyor line 11. The short side of the motor bracket 3 first contacts the first telescopic stop 153 of the first telescopic mechanism 15. The first telescopic stop 153 blocks the short side of the motor bracket 3 from advancing. The contact sensor on the first telescopic stop 153 sends a signal to the PLC controller. The long side of the motor bracket 3 continues to advance until it contacts the second telescopic stop 163 of the second telescopic mechanism 16. The contact sensor on the second telescopic stop 163 sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the first telescopic cylinder 151 and the second telescopic cylinder 161 to operate. The first telescopic stop 153 and the second telescopic stop 163 retract simultaneously. The conveyor belt 112 drives the motor bracket 3 to continue to be conveyed backward, realizing the directional adjustment of the motor bracket 3. The motor bracket 3 passes through the photoelectric sensor 13, which counts the movement. The arc-shaped baffle 14 plays an auxiliary shaping role for the motor bracket 3, making the motor bracket 3 neatly stacked on the stop 12.

[0080] Once the photoelectric sensor 13 accumulates a set number, it sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then stops the conveyor line 11, and the robotic arm 2 begins to move. The electromagnet is energized and becomes magnetic, gripping several motor brackets 3. After gripping the motor brackets 3, the conveyor line 11 restarts and repeats the above steps to continue conveying and stacking the motor brackets.

[0081] The main function of this invention is to modify the existing conveyor line without changing it, thereby achieving automatic stacking of motor brackets, effectively improving production efficiency, reducing enterprise costs and employee labor intensity, eliminating bottlenecks in the production line, and ensuring the quality of motor bracket stacking.

[0082] In summary, after reading this invention document, those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding modifications to the technical solutions and concepts based on this invention without creative mental effort, and all of these modifications fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
