Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of air guide plate pressing, and more particularly to an air guide plate pressing device and pressing method. Background Technology

[0002] The air guide plate of an air conditioner split unit consists of two parts: an inner guide plate and an outer guide plate. The inner and outer guide plates are assembled and connected by 19 clips. The clip assembly and connection requires external force to be accurately tightened. Currently, the pressing and tightening process of the inner and outer guide plates is completed manually by employees. After aligning the inner and outer guide plates, employees manually press the air guide plate, which is labor-intensive, causes severe hand pain after long-term work, and results in low production efficiency.

[0003] To reduce labor intensity, existing technology discloses the use of a press to press the air guide plate. The press includes an upper mold and a lower mold. When the upper and lower molds close, pressure is applied to the inner and outer guide plates of the air guide plate to achieve pressing. In this pressing device, the unpressed air guide plate needs to be transported to the press, and then the pressed air guide plate needs to be transported out. This requires frequent powder handling and transfer, which is detrimental to improving pressing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a pressing device for an air guide plate, which automatically presses the air guide plate by rotating a first roller, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving the pressing efficiency of the air guide plate.

[0005] A pressing device for an air guide plate includes a pressing assembly; the pressing assembly includes a first roller and a second roller arranged in parallel, and a pressing channel for the air guide plate to pass through is provided between the first roller and the second roller; the air guide plate includes an inner guide plate and an outer guide plate, and the inner guide plate and the outer guide plate are respectively provided with matching buckles and slots; the distance between the first roller and the second roller in the pressing channel is adapted to the thickness of the air guide plate.

[0006] The first roller is connected to a driving component, which drives the first roller to rotate around its axis.

[0007] This application aligns the clips and slots in the inner and outer guide plates and places them at the starting position of the pressing channel. At this time, the driving component drives the first roller to rotate, and the first roller generates friction on the air guide plate. The friction drives the air guide plate forward along the pressing channel. The height of the pressing channel is adapted to the height of the air guide plate, so that each position of the air guide plate passes through the pressing channel in sequence, realizing the pressing of the air guide plate. This application realizes the transmission and pressing of the air guide plate by means of a rotatable roller, improving the pressing efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0008] Furthermore, the second roller is connected to an adjusting member, which is used to adjust the distance between the first roller and the second roller.

[0009] The adjusting component is used to adjust the distance between the first roller and the second roller, that is, to adjust the height of the pressing channel, so that the pressing device in this application can be used to press air guide plates of different models and sizes.

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the second roller are fixed in the slide rail by bearings with mounting brackets. The bearings with mounting brackets are embedded inside the slide rail, and the bearings with mounting brackets are rotatably connected to the ends of the second roller. The extension direction of the slide rail is parallel to the line connecting the center lines of the first roller and the second roller. The adjusting component is connected to the bearings with mounting brackets, and the adjusting component can drive the bearings with mounting brackets to move along the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a connecting rod and an adjusting drive component, with both ends of the connecting rod being fixedly connected to the adjusting drive component and the bearing seat, respectively; the adjusting drive component drives the bearing seat to move towards or away from the second roller via the connecting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting rod is a spring, the adjusting drive component is provided with a first spring fixing post, the bearing with seat is provided with a second spring fixing post, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the first spring fixing post and the second spring fixing post.

[0013] In this application, the connecting rod is set as a spring, which increases the adjustment flexibility of the adjusting component. When only a slight adjustment is needed to the height of the pressing channel, the adjustment rod does not need to be rotated; the spring can be compressed or stretched by external force to achieve a slight adjustment of the pressing channel height. When a larger adjustment is needed to the height of the pressing channel, the position of the bearing seat can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod to move the connecting plate and the spring.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment drive component includes a fixed plate, a connecting plate, and an adjusting rod. The connecting plate is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod and is located at the end of the connecting rod away from the bearing with seat. The fixed plate is provided at the end of the connecting plate away from the connecting rod.

[0015] The fixing plate is provided with a through hole for the adjusting rod to pass through, and the external thread of the adjusting rod is adapted to the internal thread in the through hole.

[0016] In this application, two first spring fixing posts are provided on the side of the connecting plate near the bearing seat, and correspondingly, two second spring fixing posts are provided in the bearing seat. The bearing seat is a cuboid frame with a bearing inside. The cuboid frame is embedded in the slide rail. A fixing groove is provided on the side of the connecting plate away from the bearing seat, and an adjusting rod passes through a through hole in the fixing plate and abuts against the fixing groove in the connecting plate. Simultaneously, the external thread of the adjusting rod matches the internal thread in the through hole. By rotating the adjusting rod, the adjusting rod can be moved relative to the first roller. When the adjusting rod moves closer to the first roller, the force exerted by the adjusting rod on the connecting plate compresses the spring. After the spring is compressed, it drives the bearing seat to move closer to the first roller, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the second roller is provided with a contoured groove that matches the protrusion in the air guide plate.

[0018] To accommodate the structure of the air conditioner, the air guide plate has an overall arc-shaped structure. This arc shape refers to its curvature from left to right; the air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly from front to back, and its thickness increases and then decreases sequentially from left to right. When this type of air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly, due to the difference in thickness between the left and right sides and the middle, a contoured groove adapted to the arc-shaped air guide plate needs to be set in the contact surface of the second roller. The groove depth increases and then decreases sequentially from left to right. When the arc-shaped air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly, the contoured groove and the air guide plate make uniform contact, ensuring full contact between the second roller contact surface and the air guide plate surface. This increases the surface force on the air guide plate, resulting in uniform force distribution and ensuring smooth engagement of the various slots and clips in the inner and outer guide plates.

[0019] Furthermore, the pressing assembly is provided with a feeding assembly and a discharging assembly at both ends, and the feeding assembly and the discharging assembly include M feeding slots and M discharging slots; M is an integer greater than 0.

[0020] Furthermore, an inclined slide is provided on the side of the discharge trough away from the pressing assembly.

[0021] A second objective of this invention is to provide a pressing method for an air guide plate, which involves pressing based on an air guide plate pressing device as described above, including:

[0022] Align the clips and slots in the inner and outer guide plates;

[0023] Place the aligned inner and outer guide plates into the pressing channel;

[0024] The driving component drives the first roller to rotate, and the friction of the first roller on the air guide plate drives the inner guide plate and the outer guide plate through the pressing channel to achieve the pressing of the inner guide plate and the outer guide plate in the air guide plate.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention provides a pressing device for an air guide plate, comprising a pressing assembly. The pressing assembly includes a first roller and a second roller arranged in parallel, with a pressing channel between the first roller and the second roller for the air guide plate to pass through. The first roller is connected to a driving component, which drives the first roller to rotate around its axis. The air guide plate includes an inner guide plate and an outer guide plate, each with a matching buckle and slot. The distance between the first roller and the second roller in the pressing channel is adapted to the thickness of the air guide plate. In this application, the buckles and slots in the inner and outer guide plates are aligned and placed at the starting position of the pressing channel. At this time, the driving component drives the first roller to rotate, generating friction on the air guide plate. This friction drives the air guide plate forward along the pressing channel. The height of the pressing channel is adapted to the height of the air guide plate, allowing each position of the air guide plate to pass through the pressing channel sequentially, thus achieving the pressing of the air guide plate. This application utilizes a rotatable roller to achieve the transmission and pressing of the air guide plate, improving pressing efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0027] This application provides a method for pressing an air guide plate, comprising: aligning the clips and slots in an inner guide plate and an outer guide plate; placing the aligned inner and outer guide plates in a pressing channel; a driving component driving a first roller to rotate, the friction of the first roller on the air guide plate causing the inner and outer guide plates to pass through the pressing channel, wherein the distance between the first roller and the second roller in the pressing channel is adapted to the thickness of the air guide plate, thereby achieving the pressing of the inner and outer guide plates in the air guide plate. This application utilizes a rotatable roller to achieve the transmission and pressing of the air guide plate, improving pressing efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this application provides a pressing device for an air guide plate, including a pressing assembly; the pressing assembly includes a first roller 4 and a second roller 2 arranged in parallel, and a pressing channel for the air guide plate to pass through is provided between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, the height of the pressing channel being adapted to the height of the air guide plate; the air guide plate includes an inner guide plate 53 and an outer guide plate 51, and the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are respectively provided with matching buckles and slots;

[0040] The first roller 4 is connected to a driving component, which drives the first roller 4 to rotate around its axis.

[0041] During the pressing process, the driving component drives the first roller 4 to rotate. The first roller 4 acts as the driving component for the air guide plate, realizing the transmission of the air guide plate. During the transmission process, both the upper and lower ends of the pressing channel are rollers, which enables the pressing and automatic transmission of the air guide plate.

[0042] Before pressing, the snap-fit ​​slots in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 need to be aligned. Usually, the center snap-fit ​​54 and the center slot 52 located in the center position of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 need to be engaged. The center snap-fit ​​54 and the center slot 52 are located in the middle position of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51, respectively. When the center snap-fit ​​54 and the center slot 52 are engaged, it indicates that the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 have been pre-aligned. During the pressing process, the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are stacked one on top of the other, so that the planes on which the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are located are parallel to the axis of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2. This allows the pre-aligned inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 to pass through the pressing channel in parallel, and the upper and lower surfaces of the air guide plate abut against the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, respectively. During the transmission process, the squeezing force from the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 causes the slots and buckles in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 to be assembled and pressed together.

[0043] In this application, the clips in the air guide plate can be simultaneously located in the inner guide plate 53, and the slots can be simultaneously located in the outer guide plate 51. Alternatively, some clips can be located in the inner guide plate 53, and some slots can be located in the inner guide plate 53; or some clips can be located in the outer guide plate 51, and some slots can be located in the outer guide plate 51. The positions of the clips and slots are not limited, as long as they correspond one-to-one and are located in the inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 to be pressed, respectively. The number of clips and slots provided in the inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 can be set according to the size of the air guide plate.

[0044] The distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 in the pressing channel of this application, i.e., the gap between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, can be understood as the height of the pressing channel. When the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 are arranged vertically, the gap between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 is the height of the pressing channel. Hereinafter, the gap between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 will be referred to as the height of the pressing channel. The height of the pressing channel needs to be equal to the thickness of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 after pressing, i.e., equal to the thickness of the air guide plate after pressing.

[0045] After the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are pre-aligned, their thicknesses are slightly greater than the thickness of the air guide plate after pressing. This is because all the clips and slots are not fully engaged. During pre-alignment, the thicknesses of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are slightly greater than their thicknesses after the clips and slots are fully engaged. In this application, the engagement of the clips and slots refers to the clips penetrating into the slots under external force to achieve the engagement assembly of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51. During pre-alignment, only some or one of the clips and slots may be engaged to achieve the positioning of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51.

[0046] In this application, the first roller 4 is a driving roller, and the second roller 2 is a following roller. The second roller 2 can rotate together with the first roller 4, or it can remain stationary relative to the first roller 4. When the second roller 2 is stationary, only the first roller 4 drives the air guide plate forward. Preferably, the second roller 2 is a rotating component. That is, when the friction force of the first roller 4 on the air guide plate drives the air guide plate forward, the friction force of the air guide plate on the second roller 2 causes the second roller 2 to rotate around its axis. In other words, the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 rotate simultaneously around their respective axes, which allows the air guide plate to output smoothly and stably under the action of the driving roller and achieve the pressing process.

[0047] In this application, the air guide plate includes an inner guide plate 53 and an outer guide plate 51. The inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are respectively provided with matching buckles and slots. The distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 in the pressing channel is adapted to the thickness of the air guide plate. In this application, the buckles and slots in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are aligned and placed at the starting position of the pressing channel. At this time, the driving component drives the first roller 4 to rotate, and the first roller 4 generates friction on the air guide plate. This friction drives the air guide plate forward along the pressing channel. The height of the pressing channel is adapted to the height of the air guide plate, so that each position of the air guide plate passes through the pressing channel sequentially, achieving the pressing of the air guide plate. This application utilizes rotatable rollers to achieve the transmission and pressing of the air guide plate, improving pressing efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this application provides a pressing device for an air guide plate, including a pressing assembly; the pressing assembly includes a first roller 4 and a second roller 2 arranged in parallel, and a pressing channel for the air guide plate to pass through is provided between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, the height of the pressing channel being adapted to the height of the air guide plate; the air guide plate includes an inner guide plate 53 and an outer guide plate 51, and the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are respectively provided with matching buckles and slots;

[0050] The first roller 4 is connected to a driving component, which drives the first roller 4 to rotate around its axis. That is, the first roller 4 is a driving roller, and the specific driving component can be a motor. The first roller 4 includes a first roller contact surface 41 and a first roller shaft 42, wherein the output end of the motor is connected to the first roller shaft 42, and the first roller contact surface 41 is fixed to the outer periphery of the first roller shaft 42. The first roller contact surface 41 refers to the pressing surface that contacts the air guide plate.

[0051] In this application, the second roller 2 is connected to the adjusting component 3, which is used to adjust the distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, that is, to adjust the height of the pressing channel. This allows the pressing device in this application to be suitable for pressing air guide plates of different models and sizes.

[0052] In this application, the two ends of the second roller 2 are fixed in the slide rail 15 by bearings 24. The bearings 24 are embedded inside the slide rail 15 and the bearings 24 and the ends of the second roller 2 are rotatably connected. The extension direction of the slide rail 15 is parallel to the line connecting the axis of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2. The adjusting member 3 is connected to the bearings 24 and can drive the bearings 24 to move along the slide rail 15.

[0053] When the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 are distributed vertically, the pressing channel is vertical, and the air guide plate enters the pressing channel horizontally for pressing. At this time, the slide rail 15 extends vertically. The second roller 2 includes a second roller shaft 21 and a second roller contact surface 22. Both ends of the second roller shaft 21 are fixed in the slide rail 15 by bearings 24. A fixing component is provided at the end of the second roller shaft 21 to fix the second roller shaft 21 and the slide rail 15. The fixing component can be a buckle or other similar component to fix the second roller shaft 21 and the slide rail 15. The bearing 24 is rotatably connected to the second roller shaft 21, that is, the second roller shaft 21 can rotate relative to the bearing 24. The adjusting component 3 is fixedly connected to the bearing 24 to drive the bearing 24 and the second roller 2 to slide along the slide rail 15. When the second roller 2 slides along the slide rail 15, the height of the pressing channel changes, which can be used for pressing air guide plates of different heights.

[0054] In this application, the adjusting element 3 can be set to two, that is, two seated bearings 24 are respectively connected to one adjusting element 3, or only one adjusting element 3 can be set, with the adjusting element 3 connected to one of the seated bearings 24. Since the two seated bearings 24 are respectively located in two slide rails 15 arranged opposite to each other, when the adjusting element 3 drives one of the seated bearings 24 to move, the seated bearing 24 on the other side also moves along the slide rail 15 together.

[0055] Before pressing, the adjusting component 3 drives the second roller 2 to move relative to the first roller 4 through the seated bearing 24. Once the size and model of the air guide plate are determined, the seated bearing 24 will be fixed in the slide rail 15, that is, the height of the pressing channel is also determined. Only when changing the air guide plate of different models and sizes is it necessary to adjust the height of the pressing channel to achieve pressing of different models of air guide plates.

[0056] Furthermore, the adjusting component 3 includes a connecting rod and an adjusting drive component. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the adjusting drive component and the bearing 24 with a seat, respectively. The adjusting drive component drives the bearing 24 with a seat to move towards or away from the second roller 2 through the connecting rod.

[0057] The adjustment drive can be a cylinder or a manually controlled drive. The extension and retraction of the cylinder drives the seated bearing 24 to move along the slide rail 15 via a connecting rod, thereby adjusting the height of the pressing channel. This application uses a connecting rod and an adjustment drive to drive the seated bearing 24 to slide along the slide rail 15, which is simple in structure, quick in adjustment, and improves the adjustment speed of the pressing channel.

[0058] Furthermore, in this application, the connecting rod is a spring 31, the adjusting drive component is provided with a first spring fixing post 323, the bearing 24 with a seat is provided with a second spring fixing post 23, and the two ends of the spring 31 are respectively connected to the first spring fixing post 323 and the second spring fixing post 23.

[0059] Specifically, in this application, the first spring fixing post 323 and the second spring fixing post 23 are used to fix both ends of the spring 31, and their quantities correspond one-to-one. Furthermore, there can be one or more first spring fixing posts 323 and second spring fixing posts 23. When there is only one first spring fixing post 323 and second spring fixing post 23, it is located at the center of the bearing 24 and the adjusting drive component. When there are multiple first spring fixing posts 323 and second spring fixing posts 23, they are evenly distributed in the adjusting drive component and the bearing 24, ensuring uniform force distribution throughout the bearing 24 and improving the stability of the bearing 24's movement.

[0060] Furthermore, the adjustment drive component described in this application includes a fixed plate 332, a connecting plate 321, and an adjusting rod 333. The connecting plate 321 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod and is located at the end of the connecting rod away from the bearing 24. The fixed plate 332 is provided at the end of the connecting plate 321 away from the connecting rod. The fixed plate 332 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting rod 333 to pass through, and the external thread of the adjusting rod 333 is adapted to the internal thread in the through hole.

[0061] In this application, two first spring fixing posts 323 are provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 near the bearing 24, and correspondingly, two second spring fixing posts 23 are provided in the bearing 24. The bearing 24 is a cuboid frame with a bearing inside. The cuboid frame is embedded in the slide rail 15. A fixing groove 322 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 away from the bearing 24. An adjusting rod 333 passes through a through hole in the fixing plate 332 and abuts against the fixing groove 322 in the connecting plate 321. Simultaneously, the external thread of the adjusting rod 333 matches the internal thread in the through hole. By rotating the adjusting rod 333, the adjusting rod 333 can move relative to the first roller 4. When the adjusting rod 333 moves closer to the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 compresses the spring 31. After compression, the spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move closer to the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0062] When the adjusting rod 333 moves away from the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 causes the spring 31 to extend. The spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move away from the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0063] It should be noted that when the adjusting member 3 moves the seated bearing 24, the seated bearing 24 and the slide rail 15 are untied. When the adjusting member 3 moves the seated bearing 24 to the designated position, the seated bearing 24 and the slide rail 15 are tied together, that is, the two are fixed together.

[0064] In this application, the connecting rod is set as a spring 31, which increases the adjustment flexibility of the adjusting component 3. When only a slight adjustment is needed in the height of the pressing channel, the adjustment rod 333 does not need to be rotated; the spring 31 can be compressed or stretched by external force to achieve a slight adjustment in the height of the pressing channel. When a larger adjustment is needed in the height of the pressing channel, the position of the bearing 24 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 333 to move the connecting plate 321 and the spring 31.

[0065] Example 3

[0066] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this application provides a pressing device for an air guide plate, including a pressing assembly; the pressing assembly has a feeding assembly and a discharging assembly at both ends, the feeding assembly and the discharging assembly including M feeding slots and M discharging slots; M is an integer greater than 0. Figure 1 As shown, there are three feed troughs and three discharge troughs, and adjacent feed troughs are separated by a partition plate 13, and adjacent discharge troughs are separated by a partition plate 13.

[0067] The feed troughs and discharge troughs correspond one-to-one, and multiple feed troughs and discharge troughs can simultaneously press multiple air guide plates. It should be noted that in this application, multiple air guide plates are pressed together using the same pressing assembly. This application can set the lengths of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 so that their lengths meet the dimensional requirements of multiple air guide plates. Simultaneous pressing of multiple air guide plates can improve the pressing efficiency of the air guide plates.

[0068] In this application, a feeding conveyor line 12 is provided in the feeding trough, which transports the air guide plate placed at the inlet to the inlet position of the pressing assembly. A discharging conveyor line 16 is provided in the discharging trough, which outputs the pressed air guide plate. An inclined slide 17 is provided on the side of the discharging trough away from the pressing assembly. A packaging box or similar container can be placed at the bottom of the inclined slide 17, allowing the output pressed air guide plate to slide directly into the packaging box for packaging. Both the feeding conveyor line 12 and the discharging conveyor line 16 are driven by motors 18.

[0069] The main structure of the pressing device in this application is a bracket 11. A pressing assembly is arranged in the middle of the bracket 11, and a feed chute and a discharge chute are arranged at both ends of the bracket 11. A first roller mounting hole 14 is arranged in the middle of the bracket 11, and both ends of the first roller shaft 42 are rotatably installed in the first roller mounting hole 14. The first roller shaft 42 is connected to the output shaft of a motor, and the rotation of the motor drives the first roller 4 to rotate around the axis of the first roller 4; that is, the first roller 4 is connected to the motor and serves as the driving roller in the pressing process.

[0070] A second roller 2 is disposed above the first roller 4. A pressing channel for the air guide plate to pass through is provided between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2. The height of the pressing channel is equal to the thickness of the air guide plate after pressing. The air guide plate includes an inner guide plate 53 and an outer guide plate 51. The inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are respectively provided with matching buckles and slots. The thickness of the air guide plate after pressing is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 after the buckles and slots are fully engaged.

[0071] Two parallel slide rails 15 are provided on both sides of the pressing assembly. The extension direction of the slide rails 15 is parallel to the line connecting the centerlines of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2. The second roller 2 includes a second roller shaft 21 and a second roller contact surface 22. Both ends of the second roller shaft 21 are fixed in the slide rails 15 by bearings 24. A fixing member is provided at the end of the second roller shaft 21 to fix the second roller shaft 21 and the slide rails 15.

[0072] The second roller 2 is connected to the adjusting component 3, which is used to adjust the distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, that is, to adjust the height of the pressing channel. This allows the pressing device in this application to be suitable for pressing air guide plates of different models and sizes.

[0073] The adjusting component 3 includes a spring 31 and an adjusting drive component. The adjusting drive component includes a fixed plate 332, a connecting plate 321, and an adjusting rod 333. The connecting plate 321 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod and is located at the end of the connecting rod away from the bearing 24. The fixed plate 332 is provided at the end of the connecting plate 321 away from the connecting rod. The fixed plate 332 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting rod 333 to pass through. The external thread of the adjusting rod 333 is adapted to the internal thread in the through hole.

[0074] In this application, two first spring fixing posts 323 are provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 near the bearing 24, and correspondingly, two second spring fixing posts 23 are provided in the bearing 24. The bearing 24 is a cuboid frame with a bearing inside. The cuboid frame is embedded in the slide rail 15. A fixing groove 322 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 away from the bearing 24. An adjusting rod 333 passes through a through hole in the fixing plate 332 and abuts against the fixing groove 322 in the connecting plate 321. Simultaneously, the external thread of the adjusting rod 333 matches the internal thread in the through hole. By rotating the adjusting rod 333, the adjusting rod 333 can move relative to the first roller 4. When the adjusting rod 333 moves closer to the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 compresses the spring 31. After compression, the spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move closer to the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0075] When the adjusting rod 333 moves away from the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 causes the spring 31 to extend. The spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move away from the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0076] To facilitate the rotation of the adjusting rod 333, an adjusting handle 331 can be installed on the top of the adjusting rod 333, so that the operator can drive the adjusting rod 333 to rotate by adjusting the handle 331.

[0077] The second roller contact surface 22 of this application is provided with a contour groove, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the air guide plate. To adapt to the structure of the air conditioner, the overall structure of the air guide plate is arc-shaped, meaning it is arc-shaped from left to right. This means the air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly from front to back, and the thickness of the air guide plate increases and then decreases from left to right. When this type of air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly, because the thickness on the left and right sides differs from the middle, a contour groove adapted to the arc-shaped air guide plate needs to be provided in the second roller contact surface. The depth of the contour groove increases and then decreases from left to right. When the arc-shaped air guide plate passes through the pressing assembly, the contour groove and the air guide plate abut evenly at all points, ensuring full contact between the second roller contact surface 22 and the surface of the air guide plate. This increases the force on the surface of the air guide plate, making the air guide plate evenly stressed and ensuring smooth engagement of the various slots and clips in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51.

[0078] In this application, the structure of the contour groove can be perfectly matched with the structure of the arc-shaped air guide plate, or the size of the contour groove can be set to be larger than the size of the arc-shaped air guide plate. In this way, when arc-shaped air guide plates of different sizes are pressed together, the second roller contact surface 22 can ensure that the surface of the air guide plate is subjected to uniform force.

[0079] Example 4

[0080] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a method for pressing an air guide plate, based on an air guide plate pressing device as described above, includes:

[0081] Align the buckles and slots in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51; that is, align and engage the center buckle 54 of the inner guide plate 53 with the center slot 52 of the outer guide plate 51. At this time, the air guide plate can be pre-aligned, that is, the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 can be positioned.

[0082] The aligned inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 are placed in the feed trough; the feed line 12 moves the aligned inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 to the entrance of the pressing channel. The minimum distance between the first roller contact surface 41 and the second roller contact surface 22 in the pressing channel should be equal to the thickness of the air guide plate after pressing. This ensures that when the inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 pass through the pressing channel, the buckles and slots are smoothly engaged under the squeezing action of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2.

[0083] The driving component drives the first roller 4 to rotate. The friction of the first roller 4 against the air guide plate causes the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 to pass through the pressing channel, thereby achieving the pressing of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 in the air guide plate. The inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 are stacked one on top of the other, so that the plane containing the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 is parallel to the axis of the first roller 4 and the second roller 2. This allows the pre-aligned inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 to pass through the pressing channel in parallel, and the upper and lower surfaces of the air guide plate abut against the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, respectively. During the transmission process, the squeezing force from the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 causes the slots and buckles in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 to be assembled and pressed together.

[0084] In this application, when the frictional force of the first roller 4 on the guide plate drives the guide plate forward, the frictional force of the guide plate on the second roller 2 causes the second roller 2 to rotate around its axis. That is, the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 rotate simultaneously around their respective axes, which allows the guide plate to output smoothly and stably under the action of the drive roller and realize the pressing process.

[0085] When it is necessary to press different types of air guide plates, the adjusting component 3 is used to adjust the distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2, that is, to adjust the height of the pressing channel. This makes the pressing device in this application suitable for pressing air guide plates of different sizes.

[0086] The adjusting component 3 includes a spring 31 and an adjusting drive component. The adjusting drive component includes a fixed plate 332, a connecting plate 321, and an adjusting rod 333. The connecting plate 321 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod and is located at the end of the connecting rod away from the bearing 24. The fixed plate 332 is provided at the end of the connecting plate 321 away from the connecting rod. The fixed plate 332 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting rod 333 to pass through. The external thread of the adjusting rod 333 is adapted to the internal thread in the through hole.

[0087] In this application, two first spring fixing posts 323 are provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 near the bearing 24, and correspondingly, two second spring fixing posts 23 are provided in the bearing 24. The bearing 24 is a cuboid frame with a bearing inside. The cuboid frame is embedded in the slide rail 15. A fixing groove 322 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 321 away from the bearing 24. An adjusting rod 333 passes through a through hole in the fixing plate 332 and abuts against the fixing groove 322 in the connecting plate 321. Simultaneously, the external thread of the adjusting rod 333 matches the internal thread in the through hole. By rotating the adjusting rod 333, the adjusting rod 333 can move relative to the first roller 4. When the adjusting rod 333 moves closer to the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 compresses the spring 31. After compression, the spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move closer to the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0088] When the adjusting rod 333 moves away from the first roller 4, the force exerted by the adjusting rod 333 on the connecting plate 321 causes the spring 31 to extend. The spring 31 drives the bearing 24 to move away from the first roller 4, thereby reducing the height of the pressing channel.

[0089] This application provides a method for pressing an air guide plate, comprising: aligning the clips and slots in the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51; placing the aligned inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 in a pressing channel; a driving component drives the first roller 4 to rotate, and the friction of the first roller 4 on the air guide plate drives the inner guide plate 53 and outer guide plate 51 through the pressing channel, wherein the distance between the first roller 4 and the second roller 2 in the pressing channel is adapted to the thickness of the air guide plate, thereby achieving the pressing of the inner guide plate 53 and the outer guide plate 51 in the air guide plate. This application utilizes a rotatable roller to achieve the transmission and pressing of the air guide plate, improving pressing efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
