Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of panel shaping technology, and more specifically to an air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Because air conditioner display panels are small in area and curved, issues such as warping at the edges of the panel often occur during the panel manufacturing process.
[0003] To solve this problem, the usual approach is to reprocess the parts. However, this firstly occupies the original production line and disrupts its production rhythm. At the same time, the unique material properties of the panel result in fewer warped areas. The second rework leads to repeated processing of the non-warped areas, which greatly affects the quality of the reworked product.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device to facilitate the shaping of areas where the panels are warped. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device to improve the shaping effect on raised edges.
[0006] This invention provides an air conditioner display panel shaping processing device, comprising: a placement base for placing an air conditioner display panel to be shaped; a shaping mechanism including an upper mold base and a butt-fitting shaping module, the upper mold base being disposed above the placement base and capable of abutting against the placement base; two butt-fitting shaping modules being disposed in the upper mold base and the placement base respectively; the butt-fitting shaping module being used to shape the butt-fitting area of the display panel; and a heating mechanism including two heating mechanisms being disposed in the placement base and the upper mold base respectively; the heating mechanism being used to heat the display panel.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with a placement slot, on which one of the heating mechanisms is mounted; the other heating mechanism is mounted on the upper mold base. In practical operation, the purpose of this design is to achieve uniform heating and avoid stress concentration caused by uneven heating. On the other hand, the heating mechanism also helps to prevent the air conditioner display panel from easily deforming. The placement slot design also facilitates the placement of the air conditioner display panel.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly mounted on the placement base, and the upper mold base is slidably mounted on the fixed frame. In practice, this design effectively references existing designs, reducing design complexity.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper mold base includes a main seat, an abutment seat, and a hydraulic cylinder; the main seat has a mounting groove, one end of the hydraulic cylinder is installed in the mounting groove, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is installed in the abutment seat. In actual design, this design allows the abutment seat to be separated from the main seat, thus facilitating subsequent work when the abutment seat is in contact with the mounting groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the main seat also has a side groove; one of the abutment shaping molds is installed in the side groove. In this way, when the main seat moves down, the abutment shaping mold can ensure contact with the raised foot, thus ensuring the integrity of the contact position at the raised foot.
[0011] Furthermore, the heating mechanism includes a heating matrix composed of multiple heating wires. In the actual design, the heating capacity of the heating wires gradually decreases in the direction away from the warp-end shaping module. This design effectively references the finite element analysis results at the warp end, making it easier to deform the area near stress concentration through heating, thus reducing the stress concentration area.
[0012] Furthermore, the abutment-and-raised-foot shaping module includes a shaping mold, a drive motor, and a rotating shaft; the shaping mold is mounted on the rotating shaft; the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. In actual operation, this drive mechanism adopts a motor design because its torque is large and its rotation angle is easy to control, thus facilitating implementation. This ensures the specific rotation angle of the shaping mold. Additionally, the transmission connection between the motor and the rotating shaft in this design uses a gear set.
[0013] Furthermore, the shaping mold includes at least one rotating disk, and the rotating shaft has a transverse section with a rectangular cross-section; the rotating disk has a transverse groove; the rotating disk is mounted on the transverse section through the transverse groove, and multiple rotating disks are sequentially stacked on the rotating shaft. In actual design, multiple rotating disks are sequentially stacked on the rotating shaft, and the rotating disk can move transversely on the rotating shaft. In this way, the design can achieve the shaping effect for 3D curved surfaces; when no transverse movement is required, the multiple rotating disks in this design constitute a shaping mold shaft similar to a circular shaft; thus, when only planar side bending or folding is needed, the rotation of the rotating shaft causes the circular shaft-like shaping mold shaft to abut against the display panel to be shaped, thus completing the shaping process. The process involves shaping the display panel; on the other hand, when shaping a 3D curved surface, the shaping module is supported by two abutting feet at the top and bottom. When the feet are facing upwards, the upper abutting foot shaping module is gradually adjusted from low to high, with each adjustment not exceeding 2mm. Of course, if the 3D curved surface to be shaped is long, the straight-line height of the abutting foot shaping module at the base needs to be adjusted. However, cases where the 3D curved surface feet are long are rare, and there is no need to adjust the height of the abutting foot shaping module at the base, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is made of electromagnetic material, and it can fix the rotating disk when energized. In practical applications, this design uses a titanium alloy steel pipe with an iron-cobalt alloy inserted between it and the pipe. When energized, the iron-cobalt alloy generates a high-strength magnetic force, thus enabling the rotating disk to be magnetically attracted and fixed by the titanium alloy steel pipe.
[0015] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is less than 15° each time it rotates. In practical applications, this design ensures that the panel will not suddenly break due to excessive rotation angle during each rotation.
[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device provided by the present invention are as follows:
[0017] (1) In actual work, first place the qualified display panel in the placement base, then lower the upper mold base until it abuts against the placement base; abut the edge of the abutting and shaping module against the edge of the air conditioner display panel, and keep the position of the abutting and shaping module; thus, the initial positioning is completed and the data of the qualified display panel is obtained.
[0018] (2) After obtaining initial data by performing preliminary alignment on qualified products, when it is necessary to reshape the unqualified air conditioner display panel, the unqualified air conditioner display panel is placed in the placement base. At this time, the upper mold base is lowered and then the lifting and shaping module abuts against the edge of the unqualified air conditioner display panel. In this way, the amount of work required for this reshaping can be obtained by the difference from the initial data. This reduces the difficulty of the work.
[0019] (3) In the design process of this device, in order to prevent the panel from breaking due to sudden stress concentration, the device adds a heating mechanism, and the heating mechanism is provided in two places, which can respectively abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel; in this way, the heating is uniform, the brittleness of the display panel is reduced, the display panel is easy to deform, and the shaping efficiency is improved.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the air conditioner display panel shaping device provided in this embodiment can improve the shaping effect on the raised foot area.
[0033] This invention provides an air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device, comprising: a placement base 1 for placing an air conditioner display panel 501 to be shaped; a shaping mechanism 2, comprising an upper mold base 21 and abutting and shaping module 22, the upper mold base 21 being disposed above the placement base 1 and abutting against the placement base 1; the abutting and shaping module 22 having two locations, respectively disposed within the upper mold base 21 and the placement base 1; the abutting and shaping module 22 being used to shape the raised edges of the display panel 501; and a heating mechanism 3 having two locations, respectively disposed within the placement base 1 and on the upper mold base 21; the heating mechanism 3 being used to heat the display panel 501. In actual operation, the qualified display panel 501 is first placed in the placement base 1, and then the upper mold base 21 is lowered until it abuts against the placement base 1; then the abutting and shaping module 22 abuts against the edge of the air conditioner display panel 501 and the position of the abutting and shaping module 22 is maintained; thus, the initial positioning is completed and qualified data is obtained.
[0034] After initial alignment of qualified products to obtain initial data, when subsequent reshaping of unqualified air conditioner display panels 501 is required, the unqualified air conditioner display panels 501 are placed in the placement base 1. At this time, the upper mold base 21 descends and then abuts against the edge of the unqualified air conditioner display panel 501 by the lifting and shaping module 22. In this way, the amount of work required for this reshaping can be known by the difference from the initial data, thus reducing the difficulty of the work. At the same time, in the design of this device, in order to prevent panel breakage caused by sudden stress concentration, the device adds a heating mechanism 3, and the heating mechanism 3 has two points that can abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel 501 respectively. In this way, the heating is uniform, the brittleness of the display panel 501 is reduced, the deformation of the display panel 501 is facilitated, and the reshaping efficiency is improved.
[0035] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation and shaping of the display panel 501, the placement base 1 is provided with a placement groove 101, one of which is installed in the placement groove 101; the other is installed on the upper mold base 21. In practical operation, this design aims to achieve uniform heating and avoid stress concentration caused by uneven heating. Simultaneously, the heating mechanism 3 also helps to prevent the air conditioner display panel 501 from easily deforming. Furthermore, the placement groove 101 design facilitates the placement of the air conditioner display panel 501.
[0036] To facilitate mold closing, this embodiment also includes a fixed frame 4, which is fixedly mounted on the placement base 1, and the upper mold base 21 is slidably mounted on the fixed frame 4. In practical operation, this design effectively references existing designs, reducing design complexity. Furthermore, for ease of operation, an electric cylinder 401 is installed between the upper mold base 21 and the fixed frame 4 for lifting, lowering, and opening / closing the mold.
[0037] In this embodiment, to facilitate the shaping of the raised foot, the upper mold base 21 includes a main base 211, an abutment seat 212, and a hydraulic cylinder 213. The main base 211 has a mounting groove 201, one end of the hydraulic cylinder 213 is installed in the mounting groove 201, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder 213 is installed in the abutment seat 212. In actual design, this design allows the abutment seat 212 to be separated from the main base 211, thus facilitating subsequent work when the abutment seat 212 abuts against the mounting groove 201.
[0038] In this embodiment, the main seat 211 also has a side groove 202; one of the abutment-adjusting leg shaping modules 22 is installed in the side groove 202. In this way, when the main seat 211 moves down, the abutment-adjusting leg shaping module 22 can be guaranteed to abut against the raised leg, ensuring the integrity of the contact position at the raised leg.
[0039] To reduce stress concentration, in this embodiment, the heating mechanism 3 includes a heating matrix composed of multiple heating wires 31. In the actual design, the heating capacity of the heating wires 31 gradually decreases in the direction away from the abutting foot shaping module 22. This design effectively references the finite element analysis results at the foot, making it easier for the area near the stress concentration to deform through heating, thus reducing the stress concentration area.
[0040] In this embodiment, the abutting and shaping module 22 includes a shaping mold 221, a drive motor 222, and a rotating shaft 223; the shaping mold 221 is mounted on the rotating shaft 223; the drive motor 222 drives the rotating shaft 223 to rotate. In actual operation, the drive motor 222 adopts a motor-driven design structure because its torque is large and its rotation angle is easy to control, thus facilitating implementation. This ensures the specific rotation angle of the shaping mold 221. Furthermore, the transmission connection between the motor and the rotating shaft 223 in this design uses a gear set.
[0041] To facilitate planar and 3D shaping, in this embodiment, the shaping mold 221 includes at least one rotating disk 2211, and the rotating shaft 223 has a transverse section 2231 with a rectangular cross-section; the rotating disk 2211 has a transverse groove 2212; the rotating disk 2211 is mounted on the transverse section 2231 through the transverse groove 2212, and multiple rotating disks 2211 are sequentially stacked on the rotating shaft 223. In the actual design, multiple rotating disks 2211 are sequentially stacked on the rotating shaft 223, and each rotating disk 2211 can move laterally on the rotating shaft 223. This allows the design to achieve a shaping effect on 3D curved surfaces. When no lateral movement is required, the multiple rotating disks 2211 form a shaping mold shaft resembling a circular shaft. Therefore, when only planar side bending or folding is needed, the rotation of the rotating shaft 223 allows the circular shaping mold shaft to be aligned with the display panel 5 to be shaped. 01. By abutting, the display panel 501 can be shaped. On the other hand, when 3D curved surface shaping is required, the upper and lower abutting and lifting shaping modules 22 abut against each other. When the lifting foot is upward, the upper abutting and lifting shaping module 22 is gradually adjusted from low to high, with each adjustment not exceeding 2mm. Of course, if the 3D curved surface to be shaped is long, the straight height of the abutting and lifting shaping module 22 at the base 1 needs to be adjusted. However, the case of a long 3D curved surface is rare, and there is no need to adjust the height of the abutting and lifting shaping module 22 at the base 1, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0042] To minimize displacement of the rotating disk 2211, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 223 is made of an electromagnetic material, and the rotating shaft 223, when energized, can fix the rotating disk 2211. In practical applications, this design uses a titanium alloy steel pipe 2232 with an iron-cobalt alloy 2233 abutting inside. When energized, the iron-cobalt alloy 2233 generates a high-strength magnetic force, thus enabling the rotating disk 2211 to be magnetically attracted and fixed by the titanium alloy steel pipe 2232.
[0043] Finally, to ensure the safety of the display panel 501, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 223 is less than 15° each time it rotates. In practical applications, this design ensures that the panel will not suddenly break due to excessive rotation angle during each rotation.
[0044] In summary, this air conditioner display panel shaping and processing device is not only reasonably designed but also simple to operate. It can shape both flat and 3D curved display panels, improving the equipment's utilization range and meeting various shaping needs. Therefore, this device is suitable for industry promotion.
