[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, an automatic translational loading and unloading device includes a translational loading and unloading mechanism 1, which is disposed on a transmission line 2 and slides on the transmission line 2 for loading and unloading air conditioner compressor housing 3; Figure 1 As shown, several drying stations 4 are evenly distributed on both sides of the transmission line 2. The drying stations 4 are used to dry the moisture in the air conditioner compressor housing 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the translational loading and unloading mechanism 1 reciprocates on the transmission line 2, and stops 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission line 2 to limit the translational loading and unloading mechanism 1.

[0031] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the translation loading and unloading mechanism 1 includes a translation base plate 101, a roller mechanism 102 is provided on the translation top plate 101, a tray module 103 is provided on the roller mechanism 102, and two servo motors 104 are also provided on the translation base plate 101. The servo motors 104 are respectively connected to a reducer 105, and a helical gear 106 is provided on the reducer 105. The helical gear 106 meshes with a helical rack 201 provided on the transmission line 2. The two servo motors 104 provide running power to the translation base plate 101.

[0032] like Figure 6As shown, the transmission line 2 includes two helical racks 201, and a slide rail 202 is provided on the outer side of the helical racks 201. Two servo motors 104 on the translation base plate 101 drive the helical gear 106 to move on the two helical racks 201, thereby causing the translation base plate 101 to slide along the slide rail 202.

[0033] The roller mechanism 102 has two stations on both sides, and a blocking cylinder 107 is respectively arranged between the roller mechanisms 102 on both sides. A barcode scanner 108 is also arranged next to each roller mechanism 102.

[0034] The translational loading and unloading mechanism 1 of this patent can simultaneously load and unload materials for the two moisture drying stations 4 on both sides of the transmission line 2. It can load four air conditioner compressor housings 3 at a time, with high working efficiency and a high degree of automation.

[0035] A blocking cylinder 107 is provided between the roller mechanisms 102 on both sides to limit the movement of the air conditioner compressor housing 3 and prevent it from deviating. A barcode scanner 108 is also provided next to each roller mechanism 102 to facilitate the collection of information from the air conditioner compressor housing and transmission to the computer.

[0036] A pair of lifting cylinders 109 are respectively provided in the rear half of each roller mechanism 102, and a position detection switch 110 is also provided at the end of each roller mechanism 102.

[0037] The description of direction in this technical solution is based on the direction of movement from the roller mechanism 102 towards the drying station 4. When the roller mechanism 102 drives the pallet module 103 to 3 / 5 of the roller mechanism position, the lifting cylinder 109 gently lifts the pallet module 103 upwards, adjusting the center of gravity of the pallet module 103 so that the pallet module can flow quickly and steadily towards the drying station 4.

[0038] The position detection switch 110 is used to conveniently detect whether the air conditioner compressor housing 3 is in the correct position for loading or unloading.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, each of the roller mechanisms 102 includes a driving roller 1021 and a plurality of driven rollers 1022, and the driving roller 1021 and the driven rollers 1022 are connected in pairs by gears 1023 and chains 1024.

[0040] To save power, this roller mechanism only requires one driving roller, with the other driven rollers connected by gears and chains, and the driving roller providing the rolling power.

[0041] like Figures 8-11As shown, the pallet module 103 includes a pallet base plate 1031, a middle fixing plate 1032 is embedded and fixed in the middle of the pallet base plate 1031, a rotating plate 1033 is movably arranged on the middle fixing plate 1032, and the rotating plate 1033 is locked on the thrust bearing 1034 in the middle and rotates on the middle fixing plate 1032 with the thrust bearing 1034.

[0042] The rotating plate 1033 is also evenly provided with a number of first positioning posts 1035 and knob plungers 1036.

[0043] In this technical solution, before the material loading station, manual inspection of the air conditioner compressor housing is required. Therefore, the tray module 103 is designed to be rotatable. The rotating plate 1033 is fixed on the thrust bearing 1034, and the rotating plate 1033 is rotated by the thrust bearing 1034. In order to make the rotation process smoother and more stable, several bullseye bearings are provided on the intermediate fixed plate 1032.

[0044] Furthermore, the rotating plate 1033 can be equipped with positioning posts of various specifications to facilitate the installation of compressor housings of different specifications, such as... Figure 7 The first positioning post 1035 is provided to facilitate the placement of the air conditioner compressor housing as shown in the figure. If a smaller air conditioner compressor housing needs to be placed, the second positioning post 1037 can be selected.

[0045] The rotating plate 1033 is also provided with a second positioning post 1037, and a first anti-misalignment pin 1038 and a second anti-misalignment pin 1039 are provided on the tray bottom plate 1031 of the rotating plate 1033. The first anti-misalignment pin 1038 corresponds to the position of the knob plunger 1036.

[0046] To further ensure the air conditioner compressor housing remains error-free during automated production, anti-misalignment pins and knob plungers are installed to prevent basic misalignment and to accommodate products of different sizes and specifications.

[0047] The intermediate fixed plate 1032 is also provided with a plurality of bullseye bearings 1040, and the rotating plate 1033 slides on the bullseye bearings 1040.

[0048] The translation base plate 101 is also provided with a straightening mechanism 111 on both sides, which is located on both sides of the air conditioner compressor housing 3. It is used to prevent the compressor housing from tilting or tipping over during the loading and unloading process.

[0049] The described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
