Figure 1 An air conditioner shell assembly system includes a material cart 1 installed on the ground, a mechanical arm 2, a shell closing device, a damper assembly mechanism 6 and an oiling mechanism 7. The shell closing device includes a stand 3, a shell closing mechanism 4 and a shaping mechanism 5. During assembly, the material cart 1 can transport the left shell, the right shell and the damper, and then place the left shell on the damper assembly mechanism 6, and then pick up the damper from the material cart 1 through the mechanical arm 2, and insert the damper into the shaft hole on the left shell. Subsequently, the damper assembly mechanism 6 can transfer the left shell with the damper to the stand 3 for subsequent assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, after the left shell is transported to the stand 3, the shaping mechanism 5 is operated so that the shaping mechanism 5 can abut against the outer side wall of the left shell, thereby achieving the purpose of shaping and correcting the left shell.

[0050] At the same time, the right shell on the trolley 1 is picked up by the robot arm 2 and transferred to the oiling mechanism 7, so that the oiling mechanism 7 can oil the multiple shaft holes on the right shell to ensure the rotation effect at the damper shaft head after the subsequent damper is installed.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 The shell closing mechanism 4 is simultaneously mounted on the stand 3 and the oiling mechanism 7 , so that the shell closing mechanism 4 can pick up the right shell from the oiling mechanism 7 and transport the right shell to the stand 3 .

[0052] When the right housing is located above the left housing and the two are corresponding, the right housing is continuously pressed down by the housing closing mechanism 4. In the process of the right housing approaching the left housing, the outer wall of the right housing is abutted by the shaping mechanism 5 to achieve the purpose of shaping and correcting the right housing. Finally, the right housing can be pressed more neatly on the left housing, and the shaft heads at both ends of the damper are respectively plugged into the left housing and the right housing to achieve the overall assembly of the air conditioner housing. Therefore, during the assembly process, the possibility of deformation of the left housing or the right housing can be reduced, the assembly quality can be improved, and the assembly effect of the air conditioner housing can be improved.

[0053] Specifically, a plurality of cylinders and a plurality of picking claws are disposed at the movable end of the robot arm 2, so that the cylinders can control the picking claws to open or close, thereby achieving the purpose of picking up the workpiece.

[0054] During actual installation, a guardrail 9 may be provided in the assembly area of ​​the air conditioner housing, and the guardrail 9 is fixed to the ground, so that the material cart 1, the mechanical arm 2, the shell closing device, the damper assembly mechanism 6 and the oiling mechanism 7 are all located inside the guardrail 9, thereby improving the safety during the assembly process and reducing the possibility of injury to personnel due to mistaken entry.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 The damper assembly mechanism 6 includes an assembly platform 61, a first shell plate 62, a conveying track 63 and a damper direction selection component 64.

[0057] During operation, the first shell carrier plate 62 is first moved to the assembly platform 61, and then the left shell is loaded onto the first shell carrier plate 62 by the mechanical arm 2 or other conveying equipment. Then, multiple dampers are inserted into the shaft holes on the left shell by the mechanical arm 2 to achieve the installation of the dampers in the left shell. Moreover, for some irregularly shaped shaft holes, the dampers can be adjusted by the damper direction selection component 64, and then the dampers are inserted into the irregularly shaped shaft holes.

[0058] After the damper is installed on the left housing, the first driving member is operated to slide the first shell carrier plate 62 toward the stand 3, and then the left housing with the damper is transported to the stand 3 for subsequent assembly with the right housing.

[0059] It should be noted that, according to the shape of the left shell, multiple support blocks or multiple clamps can be set on the first shell plate 62, so as to support and restrict the left shell placed on the first shell plate 62, improve the stability of the left shell when placed on the first shell plate 62, and ensure the stability of the damper installation.

Then the damper after adjustment is inserted into the special-shaped shaft hole on the left housing to achieve the installation of the damper.

[0064] During operation, a pre-positioning seat can be provided on one side of the mechanical arm 2, so that after the mechanical arm 2 picks up the damper, the damper can be placed on the pre-positioning seat first to pre-position the damper, and then the damper on the pre-positioning seat is picked up by the mechanical arm 2 again to the assembly table 61 to install the damper on the left housing. This can further improve the accuracy of the damper insertion process on the left housing, so that the damper installation effect is better.

[0075] Reference Fig. 9 At the same time, the pick-up plate 43 is equipped with a positioning cylinder 433, and the movable end of the positioning cylinder 433 is set downward. The pick-up plate 43 is vertically slidably connected with a plurality of second damper guide rods 432, and the plurality of second damper guide rods 432 correspond to the plurality of shaft holes on the right housing. The second damper guide rods 432 are connected to the movable end of the positioning cylinder 433, so that the positioning cylinder 433 can simultaneously control the lifting and lowering of the plurality of second damper guide rods 432.

[0076] Before the right shell needs to be covered with the left shell, the damper straightening mechanism 8 is operated first, so that the multiple clamping claws 82 can clamp the multiple dampers on the left shell to straighten the dampers. Secondly, the positioning cylinder 433 is operated to slide the multiple second damper guide rods 432 downward, pass through the shaft hole in the right shell, and dock with the upper shaft head of the damper. Then the damper straightening mechanism 8 is withdrawn, so that the pickup plate 43 presses the right shell downward onto the left shell to realize the assembly of the air conditioning shell. Thereby, the second damper guide rod 432 can guide the damper and the right shell, ensuring that the damper can be inserted into the shaft hole on the right shell more accurately, further improving the assembly quality of the air conditioning shell.

[0077] The implementation principle of an air-conditioning shell assembly system in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the shaping mechanism 5 can shape and correct the left shell sent onto the stand 3. Subsequently, when the shell closing mechanism 4 presses the right shell onto the left shell, the shaping mechanism 5 can also shape and correct the outer wall of the right shell. Finally, the right shell can be pressed onto the left shell more neatly, and the shaft heads at both ends of the damper are respectively plugged into the left shell and the right shell to realize the overall assembly of the air-conditioning shell. Therefore, during the assembly process, the possibility of deformation of the left shell or the right shell can be reduced, the assembly quality can be improved, and the assembly effect of the air-conditioning shell can be improved.

[0078] The present application also discloses an air conditioner housing assembly process. Figure 1 , an air conditioner housing assembly process comprises the following steps:

[0079] Workpiece loading: The left shell is placed on the damper assembly mechanism 6, and then a plurality of dampers are clamped by the robot arm 2 and plugged and fixed into the left shell. At the same time, the right shell is transferred to the oiling mechanism 7 by the robot arm 2.

[0080] Oiling the right housing: operate the oiling lifting assembly 73 in the oiling mechanism 7 to oil the shaft hole on the right housing.

[0081] The shell is in place: the left shell equipped with the damper is transported to the stand 3 through the damper assembly mechanism 6, and the shell closing mechanism 4 transfers the right shell that has been oiled to the stand 3.

[0082] Shell shaping: The shaping mechanism 5 is operated to abut against the outer side wall of the left shell conveyed to the stand 3 to shape the left shell.

[0083] Air door positioning: The air door on the left housing is clamped and aligned by the air door straightening mechanism 8, and then the second air door guide rod 432 is connected to the air door, and then the air door straightening mechanism 8 is withdrawn from the left housing.

[0084] Shell assembly: operate the shell closing mechanism 4 to push the right shell toward the left shell, and at the same time use the shaping mechanism 5 to abut the outer wall of the right shell to shape the right shell, and finally align and cover the right shell with the left shell, and then output the assembled air-conditioning shell as a whole.

[0085] The implementation principle of an air-conditioning shell assembly process in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the right shell can be pressed more neatly onto the left shell, which can reduce the possibility of deformation of the left shell or the right shell during the assembly process, improve the assembly quality, and enhance the assembly effect of the air-conditioning shell.

[0086] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
