Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated processing equipment technology, and specifically to an automatic netting device. Background Technology

[0002] The receiver is an important component of the compressor, playing a series of roles such as storage, gas-liquid separation, filtration, noise reduction, and refrigerant buffering. It is usually composed of parts such as the body, two end caps, a mesh frame, and branch pipes. The mesh frame is located in the middle of the body. In the current technology, the mesh frame is usually pressed directly by a press.

[0003] However, during the long-term processing of the space frame, it was found that the existing technology still has certain drawbacks: First, when the mesh is placed on the space frame, there is a skew. After the press machine finishes pressing and sealing the edges, there will be burrs on the outer edge, which affects the performance of the space frame in the container. Second, the direct pressing method has a low degree of automation and processing efficiency. In addition, quality inspection is usually carried out manually first, and then a second quality inspection is carried out on batch products, which is complicated and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic netting device to solve the above-mentioned defects caused by the prior art.

[0005] An automatic mesh loading device includes a frame, a combined conveying mechanism, a pre-loading and transfer mechanism, and a mesh loading and unloading mechanism. The combined conveying mechanism is installed on one side of the frame and is used for automatically feeding the mesh frame, as well as punching and automatically feeding the pressing mesh rolls. The pre-loading and transfer mechanism is installed inside the frame and is used to complete the pre-loading and fastening between the mesh frame and the punched pressing mesh sheet. The mesh loading and unloading mechanism is installed on the other side of the frame and is used to complete the edge sealing and pressing between the pre-loaded mesh frame and the pressing mesh sheet.

[0006] Preferably, the combined conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt, a winding machine, a first cylinder, and a second cylinder. The first conveyor belt is installed on the side end of the frame and is used to convey the mesh frame. The winding machine is also installed on the same side end of the frame and is used to convey the pressing mesh roll. A tension roller is also installed on the frame along the conveying path of the pressing mesh roll. A beveled guide seat is fixed on the side end of the frame along the feeding path of the pressing mesh roll. The first cylinder is installed on the upper end of the frame via a mounting frame. A ball head punch is installed at the output end of the first cylinder. A mesh retainer is provided on the mounting frame. The second cylinder is installed on the lower end of the frame. A concave cutter is installed at the output end of the second cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the ball-head punch is matched with the concave cutting blade.

[0008] Preferably, the pre-installed transfer mechanism includes an electric drive turntable, a third cylinder, and an electric drive gripper. The electric drive turntable is installed inside the frame, and its upper end is a boss structure. A mesh retainer is arranged around the non-boss of the electric drive turntable. A plate and a probe are installed on the boss of the mesh retainer. The third cylinder is installed on the frame, and a fourth cylinder is installed at the output end of the third cylinder via a T-shaped plate. A pre-installation plate is installed at the output end of the fourth cylinder. The electric drive gripper is a rotating double-head electric drive and is installed on the frame, located to the side of the electric drive turntable. An optical quality inspector is also installed on the frame.

[0009] Preferably, the pre-installed plate is matched with the wire mesh holder.

[0010] Preferably, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a second conveyor belt, a sealing seat, and a pressing seat. The second conveyor belt is installed on the side of the frame, and a pressing platform is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt. The pressing seat is installed on the pressing platform by a press. The sealing seat is located directly below the pressing seat and has a slot for placing materials. A discharge guide groove is obliquely provided on the pressing platform on the other side of the sealing seat.

[0011] The advantages of this invention are:

[0012] By setting a pre-installed transfer mechanism on the frame, the rotation of the electric drive turntable, combined with the limiting movement of the plate, allows the pressing sheet to be placed on the mesh frame. Through the precise detection of the probe, it rotates to be directly under the pre-installed plate, and the output end of cylinder four drives the pre-installed plate to press down. This corrects and pre-positions the mesh holder, mesh frame, and pressing sheet. At the same time, the optical quality inspection instrument detects the positioning accuracy of the semi-finished product in real time, realizing real-time dynamic detection during the processing and avoiding the occurrence of burrs.

[0013] By setting up a combined conveying mechanism, a pre-loading and transfer mechanism, and a mesh loading and unloading mechanism on the frame, the ball-head punch and concave cutter punch the pressing mesh roll on the electric drive turntable. After being clamped and transferred by the electric drive grippers, it is guided by the grooved guide on the edge sealing seat to be directly below the pressing seat, thereby completing the pressing of the mesh frame and the pressing mesh sheet. Finally, the finished product is automatically unloaded by the inclined unloading guide groove, realizing the fully automatic processing of the mesh frame. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic netting equipment includes a frame 1, a combined conveying mechanism 2, a pre-assembly and transfer mechanism 3, and a netting and unloading mechanism 4. The combined conveying mechanism 2 is installed on one side of the frame 1 and is used for automatically feeding the netting frame, as well as punching and automatically feeding the pressing net roll. The pre-assembly and transfer mechanism 3 is installed inside the frame 1 and is used to complete the pre-assembly and fastening of the netting frame and the punched pressing net sheet. The netting and unloading mechanism 4 is installed on the other side of the frame 1 and is used to complete the edge sealing and pressing of the pre-assembled netting frame and the pressing net sheet.

[0022] In this embodiment, the combined conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor belt 201, a winding machine 202, a first cylinder 203, and a second cylinder 204. The first conveyor belt 201 is installed on the side end of the frame 1 and is used to convey the mesh frame. The winding machine 202 is also installed on the same side end of the frame 1 and is used to convey the pressing mesh roll. A tension roller 205 is also installed on the frame 1 on the conveying path of the pressing mesh roll. A beveled guide seat 206 is fixed on the side end of the frame 1 on the feeding path of the pressing mesh roll. The first cylinder 203 is installed on the upper end of the frame 1 through a mounting frame 207. A ball head punch 208 is installed on the output end of the first cylinder 203. A mesh retainer 209 is provided on the mounting frame 207. The second cylinder 204 is installed on the lower end of the frame 1. An inward cutter 210 is installed on the output end of the second cylinder 204.

[0023] In this embodiment, the ball-head punch 208 cooperates with the concave cutter 210.

[0024] It should be noted that the pre-installed transfer mechanism 3 includes an electric drive turntable 301, a cylinder 302, and an electric drive gripper 303. The electric drive turntable 301 is installed inside the frame 1. The upper end of the electric drive turntable 301 is a boss structure. The mesh retainer 209 is arranged around the non-boob of the electric drive turntable 301. The boss of the mesh retainer 209 is equipped with a push plate 304 and a probe head 305. The cylinder 302 is installed on the frame 1. The output end of the cylinder 302 is equipped with a cylinder 4 307 installed through a T-shaped plate 306. The output end of the cylinder 4 307 is equipped with a pre-installation plate 308. The electric drive gripper 303 is a rotating double-head electric drive and is installed on the frame 1, and is located to the side of the electric drive turntable 301. An optical quality inspector 309 is also installed on the frame 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pre-installed plate 308 cooperates with the wire mesh holder 209.

[0026] It is worth noting that the loading and unloading mechanism 4 includes a second conveyor belt 401, a sealing seat 402, and a pressing seat 403. The second conveyor belt 401 is installed on the side of the frame 1, and a pressing platform 404 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 401. The pressing seat 403 is installed on the pressing platform 404 by a press. The sealing seat 402 is located directly below the pressing seat 403. The sealing seat 402 has a placement slot 405. The pressing platform 404 has an unloading guide groove 406 obliquely arranged on the other side of the sealing seat 402.

[0027] Working process and principle: In the process of using this invention, the mesh frame is first placed on the first conveyor belt 201 by an external robotic arm, and at the same time, the winding machine 202 automatically supplies the pressing mesh roll into the equipment. Simultaneously, cylinder 1 203 and cylinder 204 are started, and their respective output ends drive the ball punch 208 and the concave cutter 210 to punch and cut the pressing mesh roll on the electric drive turntable 301. The falling pressing mesh sheet is placed on the mesh retention seat 209.

[0028] As the electric drive turntable 301 rotates, in conjunction with the limiting movement of the push plate 304, the pressing mesh is placed on the mesh frame. Through the precise detection of the probe head 305, it rotates to the underside of the pre-installation plate 308, and the output end of the cylinder 307 drives the pre-installation plate 308 to press down, thereby correcting and pre-positioning the mesh frame and pressing mesh of the mesh holder 209.

[0029] The electric drive turntable 301 continues to rotate, driving the pre-assembled semi-finished product to be placed at the electric drive gripper 303. The positioning accuracy of the semi-finished product is detected in real time by the optical quality inspection instrument 309. Then, the semi-finished product is transferred to the second conveyor belt 401 by the gripping and transfer of the electric drive gripper 303. It is then guided and transported to the pressing seat 403 directly below the sealing seat 402 by the material slot 405, thereby completing the pressing of the mesh frame and the pressing mesh sheet. Finally, the finished product is automatically unloaded by the inclined unloading guide 406.

[0030] Based on the above, the present invention sets a pre-installed transfer mechanism 3 on the frame 1. The rotation of the electric drive turntable 301, combined with the limiting movement of the plate 304, allows the pressing sheet to be placed on the mesh frame. Through the precise detection of the probe head 305, it rotates to be directly below the pre-installed plate 308, and the output end of the cylinder 307 drives the pre-installed plate 308 to press down. In this way, the mesh holder 209 is used to correct and pre-install the mesh frame and the pressing sheet. At the same time, the optical quality inspection instrument 309 is used to detect the positioning accuracy of the semi-finished product in real time, so as to realize real-time dynamic detection during the processing and avoid the occurrence of burrs.

[0031] By setting up a combined conveying mechanism 2, a pre-loading transfer mechanism 3, and a net loading and unloading mechanism 4 on the frame 1, the ball punch 208 and the concave cutter 210 punch the pressing roll on the electric drive turntable 301. After being clamped and transferred by the electric drive gripper 303, it is guided and transported to the pressing seat 403 directly below the sealing seat 402 by the material slot 405, thereby completing the pressing of the net frame and the pressing sheet. Finally, the finished product is automatically unloaded by the inclined unloading guide 406, realizing the fully automatic processing of the net frame.

[0032] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
