Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning manufacturing technology, and in particular to an anti-tipping device, system and method for an air conditioning cabinet production line. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner cabinet units include round and square units. These units are manufactured and transported via assembly lines. Typically, air conditioner production lines exceed 100 meters in length and are divided into several sections, such as chain conveyor lines and roller conveyor lines. Gaps exist at the junctions of these lines. When a cabinet unit passes through these gaps, its high center of gravity causes it to sway due to the bumps. Excessive swaying can cause the unit to tip over. If it tipps along the assembly line and hits other units, it could create a chain reaction, causing numerous units to fall over in succession. If it tipps to the side of the assembly line, it could injure workers, leading to a safety accident.

[0003] To prevent the cabinet from tipping over, the current common solutions are to control the speed of the production line and assign personnel to guard the connection points. However, this wastes human resources, increases production costs, and restricts production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an anti-tipping device, system, and method for air conditioner cabinet production lines that can improve the stability of cabinet units at the connection points of the production line and reduce the probability of tipping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide an anti-tipping device for air conditioner cabinet production lines, which can improve the stability of the cabinet units at the connection points of the production line and reduce the probability of tipping.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An anti-tipping device for an air conditioner cabinet production line includes a transition mechanism disposed at the junction of a first production line and a second production line; the height difference between the top plane of the second production line and the top plane of the transition mechanism is within a preset range; the transition mechanism includes a guide block or a guide roller.

[0008] The guide block has a width smaller than the joint width, a thickness of 2-3mm, and an inclination angle of 45°-60°.

[0009] The guide rollers are set horizontally, and there are no fewer than two of them.

[0010] The basic principles and beneficial effects of the scheme are as follows:

[0011] As the air conditioner unit moves from the first production line to the second, it passes through a transition mechanism that supports its bottom. At this point, the unit tends to move downwards. The transition mechanism helps to mitigate this downward movement, reducing swaying. Taking the first production line as a chain-plate line as an example, the last 1-2 chain plates near the connection point begin to tilt and rotate downwards, causing the unit to move downwards. If the transition mechanism were level with the chain plate line, the bottom edge of the unit would be lower than the chain plate line, causing it to collide with the edge of the transition mechanism and increase swaying. In this design, the height difference between the top plane of the second production line and the top plane of the transition mechanism is within a preset range, avoiding direct collisions and effectively controlling the height change of the unit as it passes the connection point. This reduces swaying caused by collisions and prevents the unit from tipping over due to a large height difference.

[0012] The guide blocks have a certain tilt angle, which helps to provide more precise guidance when the cabinet passes through the joint. The design of the guide blocks allows the cabinet to pass through the joint more smoothly and reduces swaying. The horizontally arranged guide rollers, with no fewer than two in number, can provide distributed support, making the transition of the cabinet smoother and thus reducing the swaying of the cabinet.

[0013] In summary, this solution can effectively improve the stability of air conditioner cabinet units at the connection points of the production line, reduce the amplitude of shaking, thereby significantly reducing the probability of cabinet units tipping over and improving the safety and production efficiency of the production line.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting mechanism, which includes a base, a mounting base, and a support module located between the base and the mounting base; a transition mechanism is fixed on the mounting base.

[0015] The height of the transition mechanism can be flexibly adjusted using the lifting mechanism.

[0016] The second objective of this invention is to provide an anti-tipping system for an air conditioner cabinet production line. Using the above-mentioned device, the support module adopts an electric lifting column, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the base.

[0017] It also includes: an image acquisition module, a recognition module, and a control module;

[0018] The image acquisition module is used to acquire images from the production line;

[0019] The recognition module is used to identify the cabinet unit from the image, analyze the shaking amplitude of the cabinet unit, and output the shaking amplitude.

[0020] The control module is used to adjust the height difference between the top plane of the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line by controlling the raising and lowering of the electric lifting column according to the amplitude of the sway.

[0021] In the process of the cabinet air conditioner moving from the first production line to the transition mechanism and then to the second production line, the bottom edge of the cabinet first detaches from the first production line, exhibiting a downward movement tendency, which is then supported by the transition mechanism. The bottom edge then detaches from the transition mechanism and is supported by the second production line. Actual testing revealed that if the height difference between the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line is large, the bottom edge of the cabinet is prone to colliding with the edge of the second production line, failing to effectively reduce swaying. If the height difference between the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line is small, because the cabinet's center of gravity is not on the edge, the bottom edge is prone to tilting up, initially failing to contact the second production line. It only contacts the second production line after the cabinet continues to move, causing the cabinet to tilt and reducing support, again failing to reduce swaying. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably set the height difference according to the actual situation.

[0022] This solution utilizes an electric lifting column support module combined with an intelligent system featuring image acquisition, recognition, and control modules to achieve intelligent adjustment of the anti-tipping system on the air conditioner cabinet production line. Based on real-time monitoring of cabinet unit swaying, the height of the transition mechanism can be flexibly adjusted via the electric lifting column, maintaining the connection between the transition mechanism and the second production line in the most stable state. This significantly improves the stability of the cabinet unit at the production line connection point and reduces the probability of tipping.

[0023] Furthermore, the image acquisition module is used to capture images on the production line in real time according to a preset frame rate;

[0024] The recognition module is used to preprocess the acquired images and use a preset object detection algorithm to detect the cabinet in the image; it is also used to activate a preset target tracking algorithm after the cabinet is detected to track the position and movement of the cabinet in consecutive image frames; during the tracking process, the module analyzes the shaking amplitude of the cabinet at the connection point and outputs the calculated shaking amplitude.

[0025] The control module is used to adjust the height difference within a preset range based on the output value of the sway amplitude using a preset feedback control algorithm.

[0026] By employing a preset feedback control algorithm, the height of the electric lifting column is adjusted, and the height of the transition mechanism is continuously optimized. Adjusting the height difference can significantly reduce the shaking of the cabinet unit at the connection point of the assembly line, improve stability, reduce the probability of tipping over, and enhance the system's adaptability.

[0027] Furthermore, the recognition module is also used to identify the type of cabinet in the image, including round cabinets and square cabinets; and to calculate the shaking amplitude corresponding to different types of cabinets respectively;

[0028] The control module is also used to obtain the type of the current cabinet, and based on the type of the current cabinet and the corresponding output value of the shaking amplitude, adopt a preset feedback control algorithm to adjust the height difference within a preset range, and record the corresponding height difference after adjustment;

[0029] The control module is also used to determine whether the current cabinet type is the same as the previous cabinet type. If they are not the same, it switches to the height difference corresponding to the current cabinet.

[0030] Furthermore, it also includes an analysis module, which is used to statistically analyze the frequency of occurrence of different types of cabinets within a preset time period and set different weights.

[0031] It is also used to obtain the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinets; based on the corresponding weights of different types of cabinets, the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinets are used to determine the comprehensive height difference.

[0032] Because production lines typically transport various types of cabinets, including round and square cabinets, these different types have different centers of gravity, different bottom shapes, and different contact surface sizes at their bottom edges. For example, the contact surface at the bottom edge of a round cabinet is a rounded protrusion, while the bottom edge of a square cabinet is a rectangular side, resulting in a larger contact surface area at the bottom edge of the square cabinet. Consequently, at the same height difference, the swaying amplitude of different types of cabinets may vary.

[0033] This preferred approach combines the corresponding weights of different types of cabinet machines with the data on the sway amplitude and height difference of different types of cabinet machines to determine the comprehensive height difference, which can improve compatibility and better adapt to production lines with mixed types of cabinet machines.

[0034] Furthermore, it also includes an early warning module, which is used to determine whether the shaking amplitude is greater than the alarm threshold. If it is greater than the alarm threshold, an alarm message is generated.

[0035] It can monitor the shaking of the cabinet in real time. Once abnormal shaking is detected, the alarm mechanism is triggered, which can promptly notify the operators to take emergency measures to ensure the safe operation of the production line.

[0036] The third objective of this invention is to provide a method for preventing tipping during an air conditioner cabinet production line, comprising the following:

[0037] S1. A transition mechanism and a lifting mechanism are provided at the junction of the first and second production lines; the height difference between the top plane of the second production line and the top plane of the transition mechanism is within a preset range; the transition mechanism includes a guide block or a guide roller; the width of the guide block is less than the width of the junction, the thickness of the guide block is 2-3mm, and the tilt angle of the guide block is 45°-60°; the guide rollers are horizontally arranged, and there are no fewer than two; the lifting mechanism includes a base, a mounting base, and a support module located between the base and the mounting base; the transition mechanism is fixed on the mounting base; the support module of the lifting mechanism adopts an electric lifting column;

[0038] S2. Acquire images from the production line using the image acquisition module;

[0039] S3. Identify the type of cabinet unit from the image using the recognition module. The types include round cabinet units and square cabinet units. Calculate the sway amplitude corresponding to different types of cabinet units. Output the sway amplitude.

[0040] S4. The early warning module determines whether the shaking amplitude is greater than the alarm threshold. If it is greater than the alarm threshold, an alarm message is generated.

[0041] S5. Obtain the type of the current cabinet unit through the control module. Based on the type of the current cabinet unit and the corresponding output value of the swaying amplitude, adopt a preset feedback control algorithm to control the lifting of the electric lifting column and adjust the height difference between the top plane of the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line within a preset range. Record the corresponding height difference after adjustment. The control module also determines whether the type of the current cabinet unit is the same as the type of the previous cabinet unit. If they are not the same, switch to the height difference corresponding to the current cabinet unit.

[0042] S6. The analysis module determines whether the adjusted height difference covers the preset range. If it does, jump to S7; if it does not, jump to S2 and repeat.

[0043] S7. The analysis module counts the frequency of occurrence of different types of cabinets within a preset time period, and sets different weights for different types of cabinets based on the frequency of occurrence.

[0044] S8. The analysis module obtains the shaking amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinet units respectively; based on the corresponding weights of different types of cabinet units, the shaking amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinet units are used to determine the comprehensive height difference.

[0045] This solution can flexibly adjust the height of the transition mechanism through an electric lifting column based on the real-time monitoring of the cabinet's swaying, keeping the connection between the transition mechanism and the second production line in the most stable state. This significantly improves the stability of the cabinet at the connection point of the production line, reduces the probability of tipping over, and also has good compatibility.

[0046] Furthermore, it also includes step S9, setting up another transition mechanism and another lifting mechanism at the connection point of other production lines, wherein the support module of the other lifting mechanism adopts a mechanical lifting column, and adjusting the mechanical lifting column so that the height difference between the top plane of the other transition mechanism and the top plane of the production line is the comprehensive height difference.

[0047] After determining the overall height difference, a mechanical lifting column with manual height adjustment is used. Once adjusted, it no longer needs to be changed frequently, which can effectively reduce costs.

[0048] Furthermore, in step S5, the height difference is adjusted from large to small according to a preset range and the adjustment accuracy of the electric lifting column. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of an anti-tipping method for an air conditioner cabinet production line. Detailed Implementation

[0052] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0053] The markings in the accompanying drawings include: chain plate line 1, roller line 2, guide block 3, and guide roller 4.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] This embodiment of an anti-tipping device for an air conditioner cabinet production line includes a transition mechanism and a lifting mechanism disposed at the junction of a first production line and a second production line; the height difference between the top plane of the second production line and the top plane of the transition mechanism is within a preset range. The production line is either a chain conveyor line 1 or a roller conveyor line 2. The first and second production lines have different conveying sequences and types; that is, the cabinet unit passes through the first production line first and then the second production line. When the first production line is a roller conveyor line 2, the second production line is a chain conveyor line 1. This embodiment is described with the first production line being a chain conveyor line 1 and the second production line being a roller conveyor line 2.

[0056] The lifting mechanism includes a base, a mounting base, and a support module located between the base and the mounting base; a transition mechanism is fixed to the mounting base; the support module is a fixed column or an electric lifting column, and in this embodiment, an electric lifting column, specifically an electric cylinder, is used. The upper end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the base.

[0057] The transition mechanism includes guide block 3 or guide roller 4;

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, when using guide block 3, the width of guide block 3 is smaller than the width of the joint, the thickness of guide block 3 is 2-3mm, and the tilt angle of guide block 3 is 45°-60°; in this embodiment, it is 45°. Figure 2 As shown, when using guide rollers 4, the guide rollers 4 are horizontally arranged, and the number is no less than two; in this embodiment, there are two. The diameter of the guide rollers 4 is smaller than the diameter of the rollers in the roller line 2. This embodiment uses guide rollers 4 as an example for explanation.

[0059] This embodiment provides an anti-tipping system for an air conditioner cabinet production line. Using the above-mentioned device, it also includes: an image acquisition module, a recognition module, a control module, an analysis module, and an early warning module.

[0060] The image acquisition module uses a camera installed at the top of the junction between the first and second production lines of the air conditioner cabinet production line to capture images on the production line in real time according to a preset frame rate. In this embodiment, the frame rate is 60 frames per second.

[0061] The recognition module is used to preprocess the acquired images, including denoising, grayscale conversion, and image enhancement.

[0062] It is also used to perform target detection on cabinet machines in images using preset object detection algorithms; object detection algorithms include YOLO (You Only Look Once) or Faster R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Network);

[0063] It is also used to identify the type of cabinet unit in an image, including round cabinet units and square cabinet units;

[0064] It is also used to enable a preset target tracking algorithm, such as optical flow, after detecting the cabinet, to track the position and movement of the cabinet in consecutive image frames; during the tracking process, it analyzes the shaking amplitude of the cabinet at the connection point and outputs the calculated shaking amplitude corresponding to different types of cabinets.

[0065] The control module is used to obtain the type of the current cabinet and its corresponding sway amplitude. Based on the type of the current cabinet and the corresponding sway amplitude output value, a preset feedback control algorithm is used to control the raising and lowering of the electric lifting column. Within a preset range, the height difference between the top plane of the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line is adjusted, and the adjusted height difference is recorded. The preset range is 1-3mm.

[0066] The control module also determines whether the current cabinet type is the same as the previous cabinet type. If they are different, it switches to the height difference corresponding to the current cabinet. For example, if the previous cabinet was round and the current cabinet is also round, the height difference can be adjusted. However, if the previous cabinet was round and the current cabinet is square, the height difference value for round cabinets does not apply to square cabinets; a new height difference value for square cabinets needs to be used based on the previous adjustment for square cabinets before adjustment. In other words, round and square cabinets are adjusted separately using a feedback control algorithm, and the data is recorded separately.

[0067] The analysis module is used to statistically analyze the frequency of different types of cabinet machines within a preset time period, assigning different weights to each. For example, the frequencies of round cabinet machines and square cabinet machines are 0.7 and 0.3 respectively, and their weights are set to 0.7 and 0.3 respectively. In this embodiment, the preset time period is 30 minutes.

[0068] It is also used to obtain the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinets; based on the corresponding weights of different types of cabinets, the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinets are used to determine the comprehensive height difference.

[0069] Specifically, the analysis module is used to acquire the sway amplitude and height difference data for different types of cabinet units. A coordinate system is established with sway amplitude as the ordinate and height difference as the abscissa. Based on the data showing the sway amplitude of different types of cabinet units changing with height difference, coordinate points are determined in the coordinate system. These coordinate points are fitted to two corresponding curves. Within a preset range, an optimization algorithm (such as gradient descent) is used to select points from the two corresponding curve segments, minimizing the sway amplitude values ​​on the ordinate of both curve segments to determine the comprehensive height difference on the abscissa. Under the comprehensive height difference, the sway amplitude of the cabinet unit with the higher weight is less than or equal to the sway amplitude of the cabinet unit with the higher weight.

[0070] For example, in a plane coordinate system, circular and square cabinet units correspond to curves A1 and A2 respectively. Using the two endpoints A and B within a preset range, curves A1 and A2 are divided into two segments on the x-axis. A point C is selected between points A and B. This point C can be the midpoint between points A and B, i.e.:

[0071]

[0072] Calculate the ordinate values ​​of point C corresponding to the two truncated curve segments on the Y-axis. Compare the ordinate values ​​of the two truncated curve segments on the Y-axis. The goal is to select a point C such that the ordinate values ​​of both curve segments on the Y-axis are minimized. If the currently selected point C does not meet the requirement, continue to select a new point C between points A and B, and then recalculate and compare. Through iterative selection, a point C with the smallest possible ordinate values ​​on the Y-axis is found. This embodiment uses gradient descent to find the optimal solution, continuously adjusting the position of point C to achieve the minimization goal.

[0073] The early warning module is used to determine whether the shaking amplitude is greater than the alarm threshold. If it is greater than the alarm threshold, an alarm message is generated.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, an anti-tipping method for an air conditioner cabinet production line includes the following:

[0075] S1. A transition mechanism and a lifting mechanism are provided at the junction of the first and second production lines; the height difference between the top plane of the second production line and the top plane of the transition mechanism is within a preset range; the transition mechanism includes a guide block or a guide roller; the width of the guide block is less than the width of the junction, the thickness of the guide block is 2-3mm, and the inclination angle of the guide block is 45°-60°; the guide rollers are horizontally arranged, and the number is not less than two; in this embodiment, guide rollers are used. This lifting mechanism includes a base, a mounting base, and a support module located between the base and the mounting base; the transition mechanism is fixed on the mounting base; the support module of this lifting mechanism uses an electric lifting column;

[0076] S2. Acquire images from the production line using the image acquisition module;

[0077] S3. Identify the type of cabinet unit from the image using the recognition module. The types include round cabinet units and square cabinet units. Calculate the sway amplitude corresponding to different types of cabinet units. Output the sway amplitude.

[0078] S4. The early warning module determines whether the shaking amplitude is greater than the alarm threshold. If it is greater than the alarm threshold, an alarm message is generated.

[0079] S5. The control module obtains the type of the current cabinet unit. Based on the type of the current cabinet unit and the corresponding output value of the swaying amplitude, it adopts a preset feedback control algorithm to adjust the height difference between the top plane of the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line within a preset range by controlling the lifting of the electric lifting column, and records the corresponding height difference after adjustment. The control module also determines whether the type of the current cabinet unit is the same as the type of the previous cabinet unit. If they are not the same, it switches to the height difference corresponding to the current cabinet unit. In this embodiment, the height difference is adjusted from large to small according to the preset range and the adjustment accuracy of the electric lifting column.

[0080] S6. The analysis module determines whether the adjusted height difference covers the preset range. If it does, it jumps to S7; if it does not, it jumps to S2 and repeats the process.

[0081] S7. The analysis module counts the frequency of occurrence of different types of cabinets within a preset time period and sets different weights for different types of cabinets based on the frequency of occurrence.

[0082] S8. The analysis module obtains the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinet units respectively; based on the corresponding weights of different types of cabinet units, the comprehensive height difference is determined by the sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinet units.

[0083] S9. Set up another transition mechanism and another lifting mechanism at the junction of other production lines. The support module of the other lifting mechanism adopts a mechanical lifting column. Adjust the mechanical lifting column so that the height difference between the top plane of the other transition mechanism and the top plane of the production line is the comprehensive height difference.

[0084] This solution utilizes an intelligent system combining an electric lifting column support module with image acquisition, recognition, and control modules to achieve intelligent adjustment of the anti-tipping system on the air conditioner cabinet production line. Based on real-time monitoring of cabinet unit swaying, the electric lifting column flexibly adjusts the height of the transition mechanism, maintaining the connection between the transition mechanism and the second production line in the most stable state. This significantly improves the stability of the cabinet units at the production line connection point and reduces the probability of tipping. After determining the overall height difference, a manually adjustable mechanical lifting column is used. Once adjusted, it no longer requires frequent changes, effectively reducing costs. With this solution, due to the high stability of the cabinet units, the original production line width can be expanded from 500-600mm to 800-1000mm, approximately doubling production efficiency.

Based on the type of the current cabinet unit and the corresponding output value of the swaying amplitude, adopt a preset feedback control algorithm to control the lifting of the electric lifting column and adjust the height difference between the top plane of the transition mechanism and the top plane of the second production line within a preset range. Record the corresponding height difference after adjustment. The control module also determines whether the type of the current cabinet unit is the same as the type of the previous cabinet unit. If they are not the same, switch to the height difference corresponding to the current cabinet unit. S6. The analysis module determines whether the adjusted height difference covers the preset range. If it does, jump to S7; if it does not, jump to S2 and repeat. S7. The analysis module counts the frequency of occurrence of different types of cabinets within a preset time period, and sets different weights for different types of cabinets based on the frequency of occurrence. S8. The sway amplitude and height difference data of different types of cabinet units are obtained through the analysis module; Based on the weights corresponding to different types of cabinet units, the overall height difference is determined by the data on the swaying amplitude and height difference of different types of cabinet units.
