[0050] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, and it should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0051] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the application belongs.

[0052] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in the specification, there is a presence of a feature, step, operation, device, component and / or combination thereof.

[0053] In order to solve the problems of low production efficiency and high labor intensity in manual assembly of the pipe pressing plate of the split indoor unit in the prior art, the application provides an air conditioner pipe pressing plate automatic assembly equipment.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 8 which shows the assembly relationship of the air conditioner 1, the pipe pressing plate 2 and the connecting pipe 3, wherein the first clamping groove 201 and the second clamping groove 202 are oppositely arranged on the plate body of the pipe pressing plate 2, the clamping buckle 203 is arranged on the second clamping groove 202, and the first clamping groove 201, the second clamping groove 202 and the clamping buckle 203 are clamped with the corresponding structures on the air conditioner 1, so as to tightly press the pipe pressing plate 2 on the connecting pipe 3 of the air conditioner 1.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1The automatic assembly equipment for air conditioner pipe plates in this embodiment mainly includes a conveying mechanism 10, a positioning mechanism 20, a material picking mechanism 30, and an assembly mechanism 40. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey the air conditioner 1 to the assembly process position. The positioning mechanism 20 is located at the assembly process position and is used to position the air conditioner 1 on the conveying mechanism 10. The material picking mechanism 30 is used to clamp the pipe plate 2 and convey it. The assembly mechanism 40 is located at the assembly process position and can dock with the material picking mechanism 30. The assembly mechanism 40 is used to clamp the pipe plate 2 conveyed by the material picking mechanism 30 and assemble it onto the air conditioner 1 positioned on the conveying mechanism 10.

[0056] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, in the process of assembling the pipe pressure plate 2 onto the air conditioner 1, firstly, the conveying mechanism 10 conveys the air conditioner 1 from the previous process position to the assembly process position where the positioning mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 40 are located. Then, the positioning mechanism 20 is activated to position the air conditioner 1 on the conveying mechanism 10 to determine the assembly position and prevent the air conditioner 1 from being displaced due to force during the assembly process. Subsequently, the material picking mechanism 30 picks up the pipe pressure plate 2 from its placement position and sends it to the assembly mechanism 4. Finally, the assembly mechanism 4 picks up the conveyed pipe pressure plate 2 and assembles it onto the air conditioner 1 positioned on the conveying mechanism 10, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the pipe pressure plate 2.

[0057] The automatic assembly equipment for air conditioner pipe pressure plates of this application includes a conveying mechanism 10 for automatic conveying of air conditioner 1, and a material picking mechanism 30 that can simultaneously pick up materials when the assembly mechanism 4 is assembling the pipe pressure plate 2, thereby shortening the time of the entire assembly process and realizing assembly line assembly. As a result, the assembly equipment provided by this application has the characteristics of high automation, low manual labor intensity and high production efficiency.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveyor line 11, a process plate 12 mounted on the conveyor line 11, and a stop member. The conveyor line 11 can be a double-speed chain conveyor. The process plate 12, mounted on the conveyor line 11, carries the air conditioner 1. The air conditioner 1 is placed on the process plate 12 with its back (assembly surface) facing backward. Driven by the conveyor line 11, the process plate 12 conveys the air conditioner 1 from the previous process position to the assembly process position. Subsequently, the assembled air conditioner 1 is conveyed from the assembly process position to the next process position. The stop member (not shown) is mounted on the movement path of the process plate 12. The stop member has a stopping position that cooperates with the process plate 12 and a clearance position that allows the process plate 12 to pass. The stop member cooperates with the process plate 12 to stop the process plate 12 at the assembly process position. After the assembly mechanism 4 completes the assembly, the stop member can move from the stopping position to the clearance position, thereby allowing the process plate 12 to move the assembled air conditioner 1 to the next process position.

[0059] Optionally, the stopper is the output shaft of the stop cylinder, a detector can be arranged at the assembly process position to detect whether the process plate 12 moves to the assembly process position, when it is detected that the process plate 12 moves to the assembly process position, the controller controls the stopper to move from the avoiding position to the stopping position, and when the assembly mechanism 4 completes the assembly, the controller controls the stopper to move from the stopping position to the avoiding position.

[0060] As shown in Figure 6 The positioning mechanism 20 mainly comprises a clamping mechanism 21 and a clamping mechanism driving part 22, the clamping mechanism driving part 22 is arranged at one side of the conveying mechanism 10 through a mounting plate 25, and the output end is drivingly connected with the clamping mechanism 21 for driving the clamping mechanism 21 to move back and forth perpendicularly to the conveying path of the air conditioner 1, the clamping mechanism 21 comprises a clamping plate driving part 23 and two clamping plates 24, the two clamping plates 24 are arranged at intervals along the conveying path of the air conditioner 1, and the output end of the clamping plate driving part 23 is drivingly connected with the two clamping plates 24 for driving the two clamping plates 24 to approach or move away from each other. In this way, the clamping mechanism 21 is usually located at one side of the conveying mechanism 10, when the air conditioner 1 moves to the assembly process position, the clamping mechanism driving part 22 acts to push the clamping mechanism 21 to the air conditioner 1, so that the two clamping plates 24 of the clamping mechanism 21 respectively extend to both sides of the air conditioner 1, then the clamping plate driving part 23 acts to drive the two clamping plates 24 to approach each other, clamping the air conditioner 1 and positioning the air conditioner 1 on the process plate 12, when the assembly mechanism 4 completes the assembly, the clamping plate driving part 23 drives the two clamping plates 24 to move away from each other to release the air conditioner 1, and then the clamping mechanism driving part 22 drives the clamping mechanism 21 to retreat to one side of the conveying mechanism 10.

[0061] Optionally, the clamping mechanism driving part 22 and the clamping plate driving part 23 are linear electric cylinders. In addition, a positioning plate can also be arranged between the two clamping plates 24, so that the air conditioner 1 can be surrounded from both sides and the front, improving the positioning accuracy. At the same time, since the clamping mechanism 21 has a certain width, a first guide assembly 26 is arranged at both sides of the clamping mechanism driving part 22 to prevent the clamping mechanism 21 from deflecting.

[0062] As shown in Figure 7As shown, in order to further improve the positioning accuracy of the air conditioner 1 on the process plate 12, ensure the smooth assembly, the side pushing mechanism 60 is arranged on the other side of the conveying mechanism 10 relative to the positioning mechanism 20, the side pushing mechanism 60 includes a pushing plate 61 and a pushing plate driving part 62, the pushing plate 61 is vertically arranged and extends along the conveying path of the air conditioner 1, the pushing plate driving part 62 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 through a fixing plate 63, and the output end is drivingly connected with the pushing plate 62, for driving the pushing plate 61 to move back and forth perpendicular to the conveying path of the air conditioner 1. In this way, when the air conditioner 1 moves to the assembly process position, the pushing plate driving part 62 acts to push the pushing plate 61 to the air conditioner 1, and the air conditioner 1 is preliminarily positioned, and then the opposite positioning mechanism 20 acts to realize the accurate positioning of the air conditioner 1.

[0063] Optionally, the pushing plate driving part 62 is a double-acting type air cylinder, and because the pushing plate 61 has a certain width, a second guide assembly 64 is arranged on both sides of the pushing plate driving part 62 to prevent the pushing plate 61 from deflecting. Because the pushing plate 61 pushes the air conditioner 1 to move, the front surface of the pushing plate 61 in contact with the air conditioner 1 needs to be provided with a protection structure 65, which is optionally a rubber pad, so as to avoid scratching the air conditioner 1.

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the assembly mechanism 40 includes a first clamping jaw mechanism 41, a first Z-axis movement module 42, a first Y-axis movement module 43 and an X-axis movement module 44. Among them, the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 is arranged on the first Z-axis movement module 42, the first Z-axis movement module 42 is arranged on the first Y-axis movement module 43, and the first Y-axis movement module 43 is arranged on the X-axis movement module 44. The first clamping jaw mechanism 41 can adopt a conventional parallel pneumatic clamping jaw, two clamping jaws are arranged in an upper and lower spaced manner and are perpendicular to the back surface of the air conditioner 1, and are driven by a connected air cylinder. The two clamping jaws can translate up and down to clamp the middle part of the pipe pressing plate 2, position the pipe pressing plate 2 horizontally thereon, and make the pipe pressing plate 2 face the back surface of the air conditioner 1. The first Z-axis movement module 42 can adopt a double-acting type lifting air cylinder, the first Y-axis movement module 43 can adopt a double-acting type air cylinder or an electric cylinder, and the X-axis movement module 44 can select a lead screw sliding table or other linear driver with a certain stroke.

[0065] When the taking mechanism 30 sends the pipe pressing plate 2, the first Z-axis movement module 42 and the first Y-axis movement module 43 act to adjust the position of the first clamping jaw mechanism 41, so that the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 is aligned with the middle part of the pipe pressing plate 2, the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 acts to clamp the pipe pressing plate 2, the taking mechanism 30 returns, the first Z-axis movement module 42 and the first Y-axis movement module 43 act again to adjust the position of the first clamping jaw mechanism 41, so that the pipe pressing plate 2 thereon is aligned with the assembly position on the air conditioner 1, then the X-axis movement module 44 acts to drive the first Z-axis movement module 42, the first Y-axis movement module 43 and the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 to move towards the air conditioner 1, and the pipe pressing plate 2 is assembled to the air conditioner 1.

[0066] In combination Figure 8 The above assembly mechanism 40 needs a large extrusion force when assembling the pipe pressing plate 2, which is simultaneously clamped with the corresponding structures on the air conditioner 1 through the first clamping groove 201 and the second clamping groove 202 at both ends of the pipe pressing plate 2, and is easy to cause the corresponding clamping structures on the air conditioner 1 to be damaged, therefore, the assembly mechanism 40 of the application is additionally provided with a first rotating mechanism 45 and a pressing mechanism 46. The first clamping jaw mechanism 41 and the pressing mechanism 46 are both arranged on the first rotating mechanism 45, the pressing mechanism 46 is located at the right side of the first clamping jaw mechanism 41, the pressing mechanism 46 comprises a cylinder and a mounting claw, the cylinder is used to drive the mounting claw to stretch out and retract, and the first rotating mechanism 45 is arranged on the first Z-axis movement module 42 and can be a rotating motor, the rotating shaft of which is parallel to the Z-axis and is used to drive the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 and the pressing mechanism 46 to swing back and forth.

[0067] In this way, when the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 approaches the air conditioner 1 under the driving of the X-axis movement module 44, so that the pipe pressing plate 2 thereon is close to the air conditioner 1, the first rotating mechanism 45 acts, so that the first clamping groove 201 at the left end of the pipe pressing plate 2 on the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 is clamped on the clamping table at the left side of the air conditioner 1, then the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 is slightly loosened, the pressing mechanism 46 acts, the cylinder of the pressing mechanism 46 drives the mounting claw to stretch out forward, extrudes the right side of the pipe pressing plate 2, and presses the second clamping groove 202 into the clamping table at the right side of the air conditioner 1, and makes the buckle 203 buckle with the clamping table, thereby completing the assembly of the pipe pressing plate 2. The assembly mechanism 40 of the application realizes two-stage clamping of the pipe pressing plate 2 through the first rotating mechanism 45 and the pressing mechanism 46, and improves the assembly yield.

[0068] As preferred, in order to prevent the connecting pipe 3 on the air conditioner 1 from interfering with the pipe pressing plate 2 during the assembly process, the assembly mechanism 40 further comprises a pipe pressing mechanism 47, which can be arranged on the first rotating mechanism 45 or the first Z-axis movement module 42, and is preferably arranged on the first rotating mechanism 45 and above the first clamping jaw mechanism 41. The pipe pressing mechanism 47 comprises a pneumatic cylinder and a pressing jaw, and the pneumatic cylinder is used to drive the pressing jaw to extend and retract forward and backward. Thus, the pipe pressing mechanism 47 is actuated first before the pressing mechanism 46 is actuated, and the pneumatic cylinder drives the pressing jaw to extend forward to collect the connecting pipe 3 in the pipe of the air conditioner 1, so as to avoid the interference of the connecting pipe 3 with the clamping of the pipe pressing plate 2.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 in order to improve the material taking efficiency of the material taking mechanism 30, a feeding mechanism 50 is arranged on the side of the material taking mechanism 30 opposite to the assembly mechanism 40. The feeding mechanism 50 can be a conventional vibrating feeder, which arranges the pipe pressing plates 2 in a vertical manner on a matched pipe pressing plate conveying line 51 through vibration, and the plate body of the pipe pressing plate 2 faces the back of the air conditioner 1, so as to facilitate the clamping of the material taking mechanism 30. The conveying path of the pipe pressing plate conveying line 51 passes through the material taking mechanism 30. Thus, the pipe pressing plate conveying line 51 continuously drives multiple pipe pressing plates 2 to the material taking mechanism 30, thereby improving the material taking efficiency of the material taking mechanism 30.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 the material taking mechanism 30 comprises a second clamping jaw mechanism 31, a second rotating mechanism 32, a second Z-axis movement module 33 and a second Y-axis movement module 34. The second clamping jaw mechanism 31 is arranged on the second rotating mechanism 32, the second rotating mechanism 32 is arranged on the second Z-axis movement module 33, and the second Z-axis movement module 33 is arranged on the second Y-axis movement module 34. The second clamping jaw mechanism 31 can be a conventional parallel pneumatic clamping jaw, two clamping jaws are arranged vertically and are driven by a connected pneumatic cylinder, which is used to clamp the end of the pipe pressing plate 2. The second rotating mechanism 32 can be a gear type rotating pneumatic cylinder, the second Z-axis movement module 33 can be a double-acting lifting pneumatic cylinder, and the second Y-axis movement module 34 can be a lead screw sliding table or other linear actuators with a certain stroke.

[0071] After the tube pressing plate 2 on the tube pressing plate conveying line 51 is in place, the second Z-axis movement module 33 drives the second rotating mechanism 32 and the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to move downward together, the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 acts to clamp the upper end of the tube pressing plate 2, then the second Z-axis movement module 33 drives the second rotating mechanism 32 and the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to return to the initial position, then the second Y-axis movement module 34 acts to drive the second Z-axis movement module 33, the second rotating mechanism 32 and the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to move leftward together to the assembling mechanism 40, since the tube pressing plate 2 needs to enter the assembling mechanism 40 in a horizontal manner, facilitating the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 of the assembling mechanism 40 to clamp, during or before the movement along the second Y-axis movement module 34, the second rotating mechanism 32 acts to rotate the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 counterclockwise by 90°, placing the tube pressing plate 2 in a horizontal position, when the second Y-axis movement module 34 moves to the position, the movement module of the assembling mechanism 40 adjusts the position of the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 to clamp the tube pressing plate 2.

[0072] Since the tube pressing plate 2 is arranged on the tube pressing plate conveying line 51 with the top end being the end where the second clamping groove 202 is located, during assembly, the end where the second clamping groove 202 is located needs to be clamped into the air conditioner 1 under the pushing of the pressing mechanism 46, therefore, if the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 directly clamps the tube pressing plate 2 from the tube pressing plate conveying line 51, after counterclockwise rotation by 90°, the end where the first clamping groove 201 is located will be at the position of the pressing mechanism 46, resulting in that the position of the tube pressing plate 2 is just opposite. Therefore, the taking mechanism 30 is further provided with a third clamping jaw mechanism 35, a third rotating mechanism 36 and a third Z-axis movement module 37, the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 is arranged on the third rotating mechanism 36, the third rotating mechanism 36 is arranged on the third Z-axis movement module 37, the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 is the same in structure as the second clamping jaw mechanism 31, and a conventional parallel pneumatic clamping jaw can be adopted, the third rotating mechanism 36 is the same in structure as the second rotating mechanism 32, and a gear type rotating cylinder can be adopted, and the third Z-axis movement module 37 is the same in structure as the second Z-axis movement module 33, and a double-acting lifting cylinder can be adopted.

[0073] After the tube pressing plate 2 on the tube pressing plate conveying line 51 is in place, the third Z-axis movement module 37 drives the third rotating mechanism 36 and the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 to move downward together, the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 operates to clamp the upper end of the tube pressing plate 2, then the third Z-axis movement module 37 drives the third rotating mechanism 36 and the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 to return to the initial position, then the third rotating mechanism 36 operates to rotate the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 by 180°, so that the end where the first clamping slot 201 of the tube pressing plate 2 is located faces upward, the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 clamps the end where the first clamping slot 201 of the tube pressing plate 2 is located under the drive of the second Z-axis movement module 33, and then the second rotating mechanism 32 rotates counterclockwise by 90°, so that the end where the second clamping slot 202 of the tube pressing plate 2 is located faces the assembling mechanism 40. In this way, when the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 clamps the tube pressing plate 2, the end where the second clamping slot 202 is located is at the position of the pressing mechanism 46.

[0074] It should be noted that the arrangement of the tube pressing plate 2 is not limited to the mode shown in the figure, and when other arrangement modes are adopted, the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 can be designed accordingly.

[0075] In addition, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 can be driven by a six-axis robot, so that the six-axis robot can directly drive the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 to clamp the tube pressing plate 2 and assemble it on the air conditioner 1.

[0076] By using Figures 1 to 7 When the air conditioner tube pressing plate automatic assembling equipment in the specific embodiment shown is used to assemble the tube pressing plate, the specific process includes the following steps:

[0077] The air conditioner 1 is placed on the process plate 12, the line body 11 drives the process plate 12 to move, and when it is detected that the air conditioner 1 reaches the assembling position, the stop cylinder extends, and the process plate 12 is in place.

[0078] The push plate driving part 62 of the side pushing mechanism 60 operates, the push plate 61 extends, and the air conditioner 1 is initially positioned on the process plate 12, then the clamping mechanism driving part 22 of the positioning mechanism 20 operates, the clamping mechanism 21 extends, and the two clamping plates 24 extend to the left and right sides of the air conditioner 1 respectively, then the clamping plate driving part 23 operates to accurately position the air conditioner 1 on the process plate 12.

[0079] The feeding mechanism 50 arranges the pipe pressing plate 2 on the pipe pressing plate conveying line 51. The taking mechanism 30 receives the material in place signal. The third Z-axis movement module 37 drives the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 to descend to the set position. The third clamping jaw mechanism 35 clamps the pipe pressing plate 2. After the third Z-axis movement module 37 drives the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 to ascend to the set height, the third rotating mechanism 36 operates to rotate the third clamping jaw mechanism 35 by 180°. Then, the second Z-axis movement module 33 drives the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to descend to the set position. The second clamping jaw mechanism 31 clamps the pipe pressing plate 2. The second Z-axis movement module 33 drives the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to ascend to the set position. The second rotating mechanism 32 operates to rotate the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 counterclockwise by 90°, so as to adjust the pipe pressing plate 2 to the horizontal position. Then, the second Y-axis movement module 34 drives the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 to move to the set position in the direction of the assembling mechanism 40. The assembling mechanism 40 takes the material. After the assembling mechanism 40 takes the material, the taking mechanism 30 returns to repeat the operation.

[0080] The first clamping jaw mechanism 41 of the assembling mechanism 40 interfaces with the second clamping jaw mechanism 31 of the taking mechanism 30. When both of them move to the position, the first clamping jaw mechanism 41 clamps the pipe pressing plate 2. The second clamping jaw mechanism 31 releases the pipe pressing plate 2 and then returns. Then, the first Z-axis movement module 42 and the first Y-axis movement module 43 operate again to adjust the position of the pipe pressing plate 2, so as to ensure that the clamping grooves at both ends of the pipe pressing plate 2 and the corresponding clamping structures of the air conditioner 1 are accurately positioned, so as to be compatible with different shells and different sizes of models. Then, the X-axis movement module 44 operates to send the pipe pressing plate 2 to the predetermined position near the air conditioner 1 for installation. First, the first rotating mechanism 45 operates to rotate the first clamping jaw mechanism 41, the pressing mechanism 46 and the pipe pressing mechanism 47 by a predetermined angle, so as to clamp the first clamping groove 201 of the pipe pressing plate 2 into the clamping table on the left side of the air conditioner 1. Then, the pipe pressing mechanism 47 operates to bundle the connecting pipe 3 in the pipe line of the air conditioner 1. Then, the pressing mechanism 46 operates to press the second clamping groove 202 of the pipe pressing plate 2 into the clamping table on the right side of the air conditioner 1, so that the clamping buckle 203 is buckled with the clamping table. The pipe pressing plate 2 is installed in place. Then, the pressing mechanism 46 and the pipe pressing mechanism 47 are withdrawn in sequence. The first rotating mechanism 45 returns to normal. The X-axis movement module 44 operates again to return the assembling mechanism 40 to the original position.

[0081] The side pushing mechanism 60 and the positioning mechanism 20 return to the original position. The stopper cylinder retracts. The process plate 12 flows out of the assembling process position under the driving of the online body 11. In this way, the pipeline type assembly of the pipe pressing plate can be realized.
