[0101] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0102] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a welding system of a refrigerator door sealing strip according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a top view of a welding system of a refrigerator door sealing strip according to an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 1 and Figure 2 The welding system can include a conveying module 1, a plurality of positioning modules, a welding module, a plurality of transfer modules, and a blanking module. Specifically, the welding module can include a plurality of welding modules.

[0103] The conveying module 1 is used to convey a plurality of rubber sleeves of the sealing strip, and the conveying module 1 is annular. The plurality of positioning modules are arranged on the inner side of the conveying module 1 and are used to fix the plurality of rubber sleeves on the conveying module 1. The welding module is arranged at the center of the annular, and the plurality of welding modules are distributed in a first polygonal shape, with the plurality of welding modules being respectively located at a plurality of corners of the first polygonal shape. The plurality of welding modules are used to synchronously weld opposite corners of adjacent rubber sleeves. The plurality of transfer modules are respectively arranged above the plurality of positioning modules, one end of the plurality of transfer modules extends above a plurality of sides of the first polygonal shape, and the plurality of transfer modules are used to transfer the plurality of rubber sleeves from the conveying module 1 to between adjacent welding modules and synchronously enter the mold with the adjacent welding modules. The blanking module is arranged directly above the first polygonal shape, one end of the blanking module extends out of the inside of the annular, and the blanking module is used to move the welded sealing strip out of the blanking.

[0104] When multiple rubber sleeves need to be transported and welded, the multiple rubber sleeves are placed in the conveying module 1 in sequence, and the conveying module 1 transports the multiple rubber sleeves to the vicinity of multiple positioning modules respectively, and the multiple positioning modules limit and fix the corresponding rubber sleeves. Since the conveying module 1 is arranged in a ring shape, the conveying module 1 can reverse the multiple rubber sleeves synchronously during transportation, so that the cut angles of the multiple rubber sleeves are all directed to the center of the ring, that is, the cut angles of adjacent two rubber sleeves cooperate with each other. After the positioning module completes the fixation of the rubber sleeve, multiple transfer devices transfer the corresponding rubber sleeves to the vicinity of multiple welding modules respectively. Specifically, the multiple rubber sleeves are moved to the multiple sides of a first polygon formed by the multiple welding modules, then the multiple rubber sleeves are synchronously inserted into the multiple welding modules, and finally the multiple rubber sleeves are synchronously welded. After welding, the sealing strip is driven by the discharging module to move out, so that the welding module waits for the next welding.

[0105] In the conventional sealing strip welding system, the multiple rubber sleeves after cutting are transported to the vicinity of a mechanical arm in a mode of partial reversing and partial non-reversing, and the mechanical arm clamps the rubber sleeves in pairs in sequence to multiple positions of a welding device and inserts them into the welding device. After the mechanical arm transfers the rubber sleeves required by one sealing strip into the welding device, the welding device starts and welds the multiple rubber sleeves, and finally the mechanical arm transfers the sealing strip to a stacking area. However, the line of the welding system is relatively long, and the line occupies a large area. In addition, multiple mechanical arms are required to cooperate to grasp and transport. Moreover, the mechanical arm can only grasp two rubber sleeves at a time, so the insertion of the multiple rubber sleeves of one sealing strip into the welding device needs to be performed in multiple steps, which leads to a long beat of the rubber sleeve welding and affects the welding efficiency. In the embodiment of the present application, the welding module is arranged at the center of the ring-shaped conveying module, which can make the welding system highly integrated, cancel the long line structure, and greatly reduce the floor area occupied by the welding system. Meanwhile, the mechanical arm is replaced by multiple transfer modules, which can realize the synchronous insertion of the multiple rubber sleeves into the welding device, and thus the rubber sleeves can be synchronously welded, the beat of the rubber sleeve insertion and welding is shortened, and the efficiency of the rubber sleeve welding is improved.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 the conveying module 1 can include multiple straight belt conveying lines 9 and multiple arc conveying lines 8.

[0107] The multiple straight belt conveying lines 9 are arranged in a second polygon, and the multiple straight belt conveying lines 9 are respectively located on the multiple sides of the second polygon. The multiple arc conveying lines 8 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the straight belt conveying lines 9 located in the middle, and the number of the arc conveying lines 8 is one less than the number of the straight belt conveying lines 9, that is, the adjacent ends of the first straight belt conveying line 9 and the last straight belt conveying line 9 are arranged in an open mode.

[0108] The plurality of rubber sleeves are placed on the first straight belt conveying line 9 in sequence and conveyed along the plurality of straight belt conveying lines 9 and the plurality of arc conveying lines 8 until the plurality of rubber sleeves are conveyed on the plurality of straight belt conveying lines 9 respectively. The plurality of straight belt conveying lines 9 are independent of each other, which facilitates the plurality of positioning modules to reliably position the corresponding rubber sleeves, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of positioning the plurality of rubber sleeves.

[0109] In this embodiment of the present application, considering that the sealing strip generally consists of four rubber sleeves in practice, the number of straight belt conveying lines 9 is four and the number of arc conveying lines 8 is three.

[0110] In this embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the positioning module can include a positioning plate 11, a positioning table 2, two positioning rods 15, two positioning cylinders 13, a guide cylinder 14, a guide rod 18, two sliding rails 16, two sliding seats and a first driving assembly 17. Specifically, the positioning rod 15 can include an inclined surface 10, and the guide rod 18 can include a guide groove 12.

[0111] The positioning plate 11 is arranged at the outer top end of the straight belt conveying line 9, and the positioning table 2 is arranged at the inner side of the straight belt conveying line 9. The two positioning rods 15 are arranged above the straight belt conveying line 9 and are perpendicular to the positioning plate 11. The opposite side of the end of the two positioning rods 15 close to the positioning plate 11 is provided with an inclined surface 10 matched with the two ends of the rubber sleeve. The two positioning cylinders 13 are arranged on the top of the positioning table 2, and the output ends of the two positioning cylinders 13 are connected with the other ends of the two positioning rods 15. The guide rod 18 is arranged between the two positioning rods 15, and the end of the guide rod 18 close to the positioning plate 11 is provided with a guide groove 12 matched with the outer protrusion of the rubber sleeve. The guide cylinder 14 is arranged on the top of the positioning table 2, and the output end of the guide cylinder 14 is connected with the other end of the guide rod 18. The two sliding rails 16 are arranged on the top of the positioning table 2 and are respectively located on the two sides of the guide cylinder 14. The two sliding seats are respectively connected with the two sliding rails 16, and the two positioning cylinders 13 are respectively arranged on the two sliding seats. The first driving assembly 17 is arranged on the positioning table 2 and is connected with the two sliding seats, and is used to drive the two sliding seats to move close to or away from each other.

[0112] When the rubber sleeve on the straight belt conveying line 9 needs to be positioned and fixed, the positioning cylinder 13 close to the end of the straight belt conveying line 9 is started, and the corresponding positioning rod 15 is extended and attached to the side wall of the positioning plate 11; as the rubber sleeve moves gradually, the guide cylinder 14 drives the guide rod 18 to extend and push the rubber sleeve to attach to the side wall of the positioning plate 11. At the same time, the guide groove 12 of the guide rod 18 can guide the rubber sleeve, cooperate with the straight belt conveying line 9 to drive the rubber sleeve to continue to advance, until one end of the rubber sleeve is attached to the inclined surface 10 of the extended positioning rod 15. The positioning cylinder 13 close to the first end of the straight belt conveying line 9 is started, and the corresponding positioning rod 15 is extended and makes the inclined surface 10 thereof attached to the other end of the rubber sleeve, thereby realizing accurate positioning of the rubber sleeve. By using this step-by-step positioning method, the positioning of the rubber sleeve is more reliable, simple and convenient. When positioning rubber sleeves of different sizes, the first driving assembly 17 can be controlled to start, thereby driving the two sliding seats and the two positioning cylinders 13 to slide on the sliding rail 16, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the two positioning rods 15. This method of adjusting the distance between the two positioning rods 15 makes the positioning module capable of positioning rubber sleeves of different sizes, has higher universality and wider applicability.

[0113] In this embodiment of the present application, the specific structure of the first driving assembly 17 can be various forms as indicated by those skilled in the art, such as a cylinder, a linear motor, etc. However, in a preferred example of the present application, considering the accuracy of adjusting the distance between the two positioning rods 15, the specific structure of the first driving assembly 17 can be as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first driving assembly 17 can include a servo motor and a screw rod in cooperation.

[0114] In this embodiment of the present application, the positioning module can further include a plurality of photoelectric sensors 19 for monitoring the position of the rubber sleeve on the straight belt conveying line 9.

[0115] In this embodiment of the present application, considering that the two ends of the rubber sleeve are prone to bending and deforming, the guide cylinder 14 and the guide rod 18 can be provided with a plurality of guide cylinders 14 and guide rods 18, respectively, close to the two positioning rods 15.

[0116] In this embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the transfer module can include a transfer frame 3, a transfer rail, a transfer cross plate 22, two transfer fixing plates 24, two transfer clamping jaws 25, two limiting clamping jaws 26, two first lifting assemblies 23, a fifth driving assembly and a sixth driving assembly.

[0117] The transfer frame 3 is arranged above the corresponding straight belt conveying line 9, and one end of the transfer frame 3 extends above four sides of the first polygon. The transfer guide rail is arranged at the bottom of the transfer frame 3, the transfer cross plate 22 is slidingly arranged at the bottom end of the transfer guide rail, and is vertically distributed with the transfer guide rail. Two transfer fixed plates 24 are symmetrically arranged below the transfer cross plate 22, and two transfer clamps 25 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two transfer fixed plates 24. Two limiting clamps 26 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two transfer fixed plates 24 and are respectively located on the sides away from each other of the two transfer clamps 25. Two first lifting assemblies 23 are arranged on the two transfer fixed plates 24 and are connected with the two transfer clamps 25 for driving the corresponding transfer clamps 25 to lift. The sixth driving assembly is arranged at the bottom of the transfer cross plate 22 for driving the two transfer fixed plates 24 to move close to or away from each other. The fifth driving assembly is arranged on the transfer frame 3 and is connected with the transfer cross plate 22 for driving the transfer cross plate 22 to move along the transfer guide rail.

[0118] When the rubber sleeve needs to be transferred, the fifth driving assembly is started, and the transfer cross plate 22 is driven to move above the positioning table 2. The two first lifting assemblies 23 are started, and the two transfer clamps 25 are lowered. The two transfer clamps 25 are started and grab and hold the protrusions on the top of the rubber sleeve. The first lifting assembly 23 resets the transfer clamp 25, and at the same time, the two limiting clamps 26 are opened and set around the rubber sleeve. Specifically, the inner wall of the output end of the limiting clamp 26 cooperates with the inner wall of the rubber sleeve. And the two limiting clamps 26 are respectively arranged on the sides away from each other of the two transfer clamps 25, thereby reliably fixing the two ends of the rubber sleeve. Finally, the fifth driving assembly is started to transfer the rubber sleeve between the two adjacent welding modules, and cooperate with the two welding modules to enter the mold. Specifically, the sixth driving assembly is started to make the two transfer fixed plates 24 close to each other, so that the rubber sleeve forms a certain arc, and when the two ends of the rubber sleeve correspond to the two welding modules, the sixth driving assembly is started to make the two transfer fixed plates 23 move away from each other, that is, the arc-shaped rubber sleeve gradually opens, and the two ends of the rubber sleeve enter along the two welding modules to realize the rubber sleeve into the mold. In addition, the sixth driving assembly can adjust the distance between the two transfer clamps 25 according to the size of the rubber sleeve, so as to improve the applicability of the transfer module.

[0140] In this embodiment of the application, the welding system can further include a protective fence 6. Specifically, the protective fence 6 is arranged on the outer side of the conveying module 1.

[0141] On the other hand, the application also provides a control method of the welding system of the refrigerator door sealing strip, and the specific steps can be as shown in Figure 12 Figure 12 The control method can include the following steps:

[0142] In step S10, the position information of the rubber sleeve is obtained. Specifically, a plurality of photoelectric sensors can be arranged on the conveying module 1 to obtain the position information of the rubber sleeve. Specifically, the photoelectric sensors can be arranged near the positioning module, so that the positioning module can timely act and position and fix the rubber sleeve.

[0143] ​In step S11, it is judged whether the rubber sleeve reaches the vicinity of the corresponding positioning module. Wherein, whether the rubber sleeve reaches the vicinity of the corresponding positioning module means whether the corresponding positioning module should act. Specifically, since there are multiple rubber sleeves on one sealing strip, the conveying module 1 will transport the multiple rubber sleeves in turn. When multiple rubber sleeves are conveyed, the positioning module near the input end will not act in advance, and the rubber sleeve positioned in front will be conveyed to the vicinity of the corresponding positioning module along with the conveying module 1. Specifically, taking four rubber sleeves and four positioning modules as an example, the first rubber sleeve passes through the first three positioning modules, and the first three positioning modules do not act until the first rubber sleeve reaches the vicinity of the fourth positioning module, and the fourth positioning module acts and positions it. Specifically, the first positioning module is the positioning module near the input end of the conveying module 1, and the fourth positioning module is the positioning module near the output end of the conveying module 1; the first rubber sleeve is the first rubber sleeve entering the conveying module 1.

[0144] In step S12, when it is judged that the rubber sleeve reaches the vicinity of the corresponding positioning module, the positioning module is driven to start to position the rubber sleeve. Wherein, if the rubber sleeve reaches the vicinity of the corresponding positioning module, it means that the rubber sleeve reaches the designated position to be transferred, and at this time the positioning module can position the rubber sleeve. Specifically, three photoelectric sensors are arranged near one positioning module, and the three photoelectric sensors are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying module 1. When the rubber sleeve reaches the first photoelectric sensor of the corresponding positioning module, the straight-line belt conveying line corresponding to the positioning module slows down, and the positioning rod at the conveying end of the straight-line belt conveying line extends. When the rubber sleeve reaches the second photoelectric sensor of the corresponding positioning module, the straight-line belt conveying line corresponding to the positioning module further slows down, the guide rod extends and pushes the rubber sleeve to adhere to the positioning plate, so as to limit the movement of the rubber sleeve to only along the side wall of the positioning plate. When the rubber sleeve reaches the third photoelectric sensor of the corresponding positioning module, the straight-line belt conveying line corresponding to the positioning module stops, and the positioning rod at the conveying start end of the straight-line belt conveying line extends, so as to realize reliable positioning of the rubber sleeve.

[0145] In step S13, the transfer module starts to transfer the rubber sleeve to the welding module, and cooperates with the welding module to perform mold entry of the rubber sleeve. Wherein, after positioning the rubber sleeve, the transfer module starts to grab the rubber sleeve and moves it to the vicinity of the welding module. Specifically, the transfer module moves the rubber sleeve between two adjacent welding modules, and the two adjacent welding dies on the two welding modules are opened by the die withdrawing assembly to cooperate with the transfer module to extend the two ends of the rubber sleeve along the two welding dies. Specifically, multiple rubber sleeves of one sealing strip can be synchronously molded.

[0146] In step S14, it is judged whether the rubber sleeve is in place. Two photoelectric sensors are arranged on each welding mold, which are used to monitor the extension amount of the rubber sleeve in the two welding molds. When the rubber sleeve is in place, the photoelectric sensor monitors and stops the extension of the rubber sleeve, and then the rubber sleeve is pressed and fixed by the pressing assembly, so that the rubber sleeve is in place.

[0147] In step S15, when the rubber sleeve is in place, the welding module is started and the rubber sleeve is welded. If the rubber sleeve is in place, the heating assembly is driven to start, and the ends of the two rubber sleeves between the two welding molds of each welding mold are hot melted. After a period of hot melting, the heating assembly is withdrawn, the fourth driving assembly is started and the ends of the two rubber sleeves are bonded and welded, so that the welding of the adjacent two rubber sleeves is realized. Specifically, the multiple rubber sleeves of one sealing strip can be synchronously welded.

[0148] In step S16, the blanking module is started to take out the welded sealing strip from the welding module. After the welding of the rubber sleeve is completed, a completed sealing strip is formed, the pressing assembly and the ejection assembly are started and the welding mold is opened, and then the blanking module is used to move the welded sealing strip out of the welding module, so that the welding module can be used for the next welding.

[0149] In step S17, when the rubber sleeve is not in place, the transfer module and the welding module continue to insert the rubber sleeve. If the rubber sleeve is not in place, the transfer module continues to push the rubber sleeve to the welding module or the welding module continues to approach the rubber sleeve, so as to continue to insert the rubber sleeve.

[0150] In step S18, when the rubber sleeve does not reach the corresponding positioning module, the conveying module 1 continues to convey the rubber sleeve. If the rubber sleeve does not reach the corresponding positioning module, it means that the rubber sleeve is still being conveyed. Generally, the multiple rubber sleeves of one sealing strip reach the corresponding straight belt conveying line at about the same time, so the conveying module 1 needs to continue to convey the rubber sleeve.

[0151] In steps S10 to S18, when the multiple rubber sleeves are welded, the positions of the multiple rubber sleeves on the conveying module 1 are determined, and it is judged whether the multiple rubber sleeves are near the corresponding positioning modules. If the multiple rubber sleeves are near the corresponding positioning modules, the corresponding positioning modules position the rubber sleeves, the transfer module moves the defined rubber sleeves to the welding module and synchronously inserts the rubber sleeves, the welding device synchronously welds the multiple rubber sleeves, and finally the blanking module moves the rubber sleeves out of the line, so that the production of the sealing strip is completed. The control method is simple and flexible, which is helpful to realize the accurate welding of the sealing strip.

[0152] Through the technical scheme, the welding system of the refrigerator door sealing strip and the control method thereof can sequentially place multiple rubber sleeves on the conveying module 1, convey the multiple rubber sleeves to corresponding positions respectively, and relatively arrange the cut corner positions of the multiple rubber sleeves due to the ring shape of the conveying module 1; then the positioning module positions the multiple rubber sleeves respectively, the multiple transfer modules transfer the multiple rubber sleeves to the vicinity of the welding module and synchronously enter the mold, the welding module can synchronously weld the multiple rubber sleeves, after the welding is completed, the discharging module can move the sealing strip out of the welding system to wait for the next welding; the welding module is arranged at the center of the ring-shaped conveying module, which can make the welding system highly integrated, greatly reducing the required occupation area of the welding system; meanwhile, the multiple transfer modules and the welding module are matched with the synchronous mold entering and synchronous welding mode, which can effectively reduce the beat of the rubber sleeve welding, that is, improve the efficiency of the rubber sleeve welding.
