[0002] With the continuous advancement of social technology, various industries have launched a wide variety of high-end products to meet market demands and customer requirements. The air conditioning industry, in particular, has introduced high-end cabinet air conditioners with both top and bottom air outlets. As a crucial structural component of air conditioners, the roller assembly is currently primarily assembled manually onto the support frame. This manual method results in low assembly efficiency and high labor intensity. When workers press and assemble for extended periods, they are prone to thumb joint pain, fatigue, and numbness, leading to incomplete or missing installations of the rollers on the support frame. Summary of the Invention

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 11 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the roller 60 assembly mechanism of the present invention. The roller 60 assembly mechanism includes a rotary table 10 and a first robot 20. The rotary table 10 is used to place a support frame 40. The first robot 20 includes a clamping device 200 and a moving device 240 for moving the clamping device 200. The clamping device 200 includes a first clamping assembly 210 and a second clamping assembly 220. The first clamping assembly 210 is fixedly connected to the moving device 240 and is used to clamp the outer ring of the roller 60. The second clamping assembly 220 is movably connected to the moving device 240 and is used to clamp the shaft of the roller 60. When assembling the roller 60 into the slot of the support frame 40, the second clamping assembly 220 moves away from the first clamping assembly 210, and the first clamping assembly 210 presses the roller 60 into the slot.
[0035] Specifically, the roller 60 assembly mechanism is used for automated assembly of the roller 60 and the support frame 40. The support frame 40 is provided with at least one slot for engaging and fixing the roller 60. The support frame 40 is placed on the rotary table 10, and the rotary table 10 has a rotation function, so that the rotary table 10 can drive the support frame 40 to rotate, allowing the support frame 40 to be rotated to a designated area for the next step of work. The first robot 20 is used to assemble the roller 60 onto the support frame 40. The first robot 20 is located outside the rotary table 10 and includes a clamping device 200 and a moving device 240. The clamping device 200 is fixed on the moving device 240. The moving device 240 can rotate up, down, left, and right, thereby driving the clamping device 200 to move. That is, the moving device 240 can make the clamping device 200 move between the loading area of the roller 60 and the rotary table 10, so that the clamping device 200 clamps the roller 60 and moves towards the support frame 40 on the rotary table 10, so that the roller 60 moves above the support frame 40. Then, the moving device 240 is controlled to rotate downward, so that the clamping device 200 moves downward, thereby pressing the roller 60 into the slot of the support frame 40.
[0036] The clamping device 200 is used to clamp the roller 60 onto the support frame 40. The clamping device 200 includes a first clamping assembly 210 and a second clamping assembly 220. The first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 respectively clamp both sides of the roller 60. In this embodiment, one end of the first clamping assembly 210 is fixedly connected to the moving device 240, and the other end clamps the outer ring of the roller 60. One end of the second clamping assembly 220 is movably connected to the moving device 240, and the other end clamps the shaft of the roller 60. The second clamping assembly 220 is arranged adjacent to the first clamping assembly 210, and the second clamping assembly 220 can move towards or away from the first clamping assembly 210. By clamping both sides of the roller 60 with the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 respectively, the stability of the clamping device 200 clamping the roller 60 is improved.
[0037] When the roller 60 needs to be clamped, the second clamping assembly 220 is controlled to move away from the first clamping assembly 210 to make way for the roller 60; then the moving device 240 is moved toward the roller 60 to drive the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 to move toward the roller 60 until the first clamping assembly 210 clamps the outer ring of the roller 60, and the moving device 240 stops moving; finally, the second clamping assembly 220 is controlled to move toward the first clamping assembly 210 so that the second clamping assembly 220 clamps the shaft of the roller 60, ultimately achieving that the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 simultaneously clamp the roller 60.
[0038] When the moving device 240 drives the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 to clamp the roller 60 above the slot of the support frame 40, that is, when the roller 60 is initially placed on the slot of the support frame 40, it is necessary to press the roller 60 into the slot. In order to avoid the roller 60's shaft being fully embedded in the slot, the second clamping assembly 220 is first moved away from the first clamping assembly 210 to make way for the roller 60, so as to avoid the second clamping assembly 220 interfering with the support frame 40 when the moving device 240 presses down; then the moving device 240 is moved towards the support frame 40 to drive the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 to move towards the support frame 40. At this time, the first clamping assembly 210 presses the roller 60 into the slot, and finally the roller 60 is assembled onto the support frame 40.
[0039] This application includes a first robot 20. Through the moving device 240 and the clamping device 200 of the first robot 20, the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 jointly clamp the roller 60 onto the support frame 40. The second clamping assembly 220 is moved away from the first clamping assembly 210 to release the axis of the roller 60 to avoid interference with the support frame 40 when pressing down. Then, the first clamping assembly 210 presses down on the roller 60 to press it into the support frame 40, thus achieving a fixed connection between the roller 60 and the support frame 40. This enables automated assembly of the roller 60 assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency and product quality.
[0040] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 7a , Figure 7bAs shown, the first clamping assembly 210 includes a first clamping member 211, and the first clamping member 211 has a semi-enclosed groove 2111 on the side near the roller 60; when clamping, the outer ring of the roller 60 is embedded in the groove 2111. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 210 includes a first clamping member 211, which is used to clamp the outer ring of the roller 60. Therefore, a groove 2111 is provided on the side of the first clamping member 211 used to clamp the roller 60. The groove 2111 has a semi-enclosed structure, and the groove 2111 is adapted to the outer ring of the roller 60, that is, the groove wall of the groove 2111 can completely fit the outer ring of the roller 60. When the first clamping member 211 clamps the roller 60, the first clamping member 211 moves toward the roller 60 so that the roller 60 is embedded in the groove 2111, thereby realizing that the first clamping member 211 clamps the roller 60.
[0041] In this embodiment, the groove 2111 is set as a semi-enclosed structure, which can clamp the roller 60 over a larger range, thereby improving the clamping stability of the first clamping member 211. Moreover, the first clamping member 211 has a simple structure and low production cost.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 8a , Figure 8b As shown, the second clamping assembly 220 includes a second clamping member 221, which has an inwardly recessed opening 2211 on the side near the roller 60; when clamping, the shaft of the roller 60 is inserted into the opening 2211. Specifically, the second clamping assembly 220 includes a second clamping member 221, which is used to clamp the shaft of the roller 60. Therefore, an opening 2211 is provided on the side of the second clamping member 221 used to clamp the roller 60. The opening 2211 is formed by the inward recess of the side of the second clamping member 221 near the roller 60. The opening 2211 is adapted to the shaft of the roller 60, so that the shaft of the roller 60 can be completely fitted with the groove wall of the opening 2211. When the first clamping member 211 clamps the outer ring of the roller 60, and the second clamping assembly 220 is moved toward the first clamping assembly 210, the shaft of the roller 60 is inserted into the opening 2211, and the shaft of the roller 60 is completely fitted with the opening 2211, thereby realizing that the second clamping member 221 clamps the shaft of the roller 60, and finally clamps the roller 60 together with the first clamping member 211.
[0043] In this embodiment, the second clamping member 221 has an opening 2211 on one side, which can be adapted to clamp the shaft of the roller 60. The structure is simple and the clamping method is simple.
[0044] Specifically, both the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 are equipped with limit switches. The limit switches are used to detect whether the groove 2111 of the first clamping member 211 or the opening 2211 of the second clamping member 221 is completely in contact with the surface of the outer ring of the roller 60 or the shaft of the roller 60. When it is detected that the groove wall of the groove 2111 of the first clamping member 211 is completely in contact with the surface of the outer ring of the roller 60, the detection information is transmitted to the control system to stop the moving device 240 from moving. When it is detected that the groove wall of the opening 2211 of the second clamping member 221 is completely in contact with the surface of the shaft of the roller 60, the detection information is transmitted to the control system to stop the second clamping assembly 220 from moving, thereby ensuring that the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 completely clamp the roller 60 and prevent the roller 60 from falling off.
[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, the depth of the groove 2111 is one-third of the height of the outer ring of the roller 60; and / or, the depth of the opening 2211 is one-third of the height of the shaft of the roller 60. Specifically, the depth of the groove 2111 is set to one-third of the height of the outer ring of the roller 60, that is, the depth of the groove 2111 is one-third of the diameter of the outer ring of the roller 60. This ensures that when the first clamping member 211 clamps the outer ring of the roller 60, one-third of the outer ring of the roller 60 is embedded in the groove 2111, that is, the first clamping member 211 clamps the roller 60 to one-third of its outer ring, thereby improving the stability of the first clamping member 211 clamping the roller 60 and ensuring that the roller 60 will not fall off. Alternatively, the depth of the opening 2211 can be set to one-third of the height of the shaft of the roller 60, i.e., the depth of the opening 2211 is one-third of the diameter of the shaft of the roller 60. This allows the second clamping member 221 to clamp the shaft of the roller 60, with one-third of the shaft of the roller 60 inserted into the opening 2211. In other words, the second clamping member 221 clamps the roller 60 to one-third of the shaft position, thereby improving the stability of the second clamping member 221 in clamping the roller 60 and ensuring that the roller 60 will not fall off.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2As shown in Figure 8, both the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 include a fixing member 230. One end of the fixing member 230 is fixedly connected to the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221, and the other end is connected to the moving device 240. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 210 is fixedly connected to the moving device 240, and the second clamping assembly 220 is movably connected to the moving device 240. The first clamping assembly 210 includes the first clamping member 211, and the second clamping assembly 220 includes the second clamping member 221. Both the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 also include a fixing member 230. One end of the fixing member 230 is fixedly connected to the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221, and the other end is connected to the moving device 240. When one end of the fixing member 230 is fixedly connected to the first clamping member 211, the other end of the fixing member 230 is fixedly connected to the moving device 240. When one end of the fixing member 230 is fixedly connected to the second clamping member 221, the other end of the fixing member 230 is movably connected to the moving device 240, thereby allowing the fixing member 230 to drive the second clamping member 221 to move on the moving device 240 in a direction away from or towards the first clamping member 211. In this embodiment, the moving device 240 and the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221 are connected by the fixing member 230, thereby improving the structural stability of the clamping device 200.
[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2As shown in Figure 8, the fixing member 230 includes a screw 231 and an elastic member 232. The two ends of the screw 231 are respectively connected to the moving device 240 and the first clamping member 211, or respectively connected to the moving device 240 and the second clamping member 221. The elastic member 232 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 231. Specifically, the fixing member 230 is used to connect the first clamping member 211 and the moving device 240, or to connect the second clamping member 221 and the moving device 240. The fixing member 230 includes a screw 231 and an elastic member 232. The screw 231 is used to connect the first clamping member 211 and the moving device 240, or to connect the second clamping member 221 and the moving device 240. That is, both ends of the screw 231 are respectively connected to the moving device 240 and the first clamping member 211, or both ends of the screw 231 are respectively connected to the moving device 240 and the second clamping member 221. The moving device 240 and the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221 are fixedly connected by the screw 231, which allows users to easily disassemble and install the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221 according to the product specifications of different rollers 60. When replacing, simply unscrew the screw 231.
[0048] Meanwhile, an elastic element 232 is also sleeved on the outside of the screw 231. In this embodiment, the elastic element 232 is a spring. The elastic element 232 can protect the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 221 from damage to the roller 60 and the support frame 40 during the process of clamping and pressing the roller 60, so as to achieve flexible docking.
[0049] In one embodiment, both the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 are made of an elastic material (not shown in the figure). Specifically, both the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 are used to clamp the roller 60 and directly contact the roller 60 to press the roller 60 into the slot of the support frame 40. Therefore, both the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 are made of an elastic material. In this embodiment, the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 are made of elastic rubber, so that the contact between the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 and the roller 60 is a flexible joint, so as to ensure that the roller 60 and the support frame 40 are not damaged during the process of the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 221 clamping and pressing the roller 60, thereby improving product quality.
[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 2As shown, the first robot 20 also includes an industrial camera 310, which is fixed on the moving device 240. The industrial camera 310 is spaced apart from the clamping device 200 and is used to take pictures to identify and record the positioning information of the roller 60, such as its width and height. This allows the control system to control the movement of the moving device 240 and the second clamping assembly 220 based on the positioning information recorded by the industrial camera 310, so that the first clamping assembly 210 and the second clamping assembly 220 clamp the roller 60 from the loading area of the roller 60. At the same time, the industrial camera 310 can also detect the slot position of the support frame 40, so that the control system can control the movement of the moving device 240 based on the slot position information, so that the clamping device 200 clamps the roller 60 to a position above the slot, thereby realizing the automation and intelligence of the first robot 20.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, the rotary table 10 includes a mounting part 100, on which a plurality of rotatable fixing bolts 110 are provided. The plurality of fixing bolts 110 are spaced apart circumferentially along the mounting part 100. Rotating the fixing bolts 110 secures or allows space to be moved from the tray 50 used to place the support frame 40. Specifically, the rotary table 10 is used to place and rotate the support frame 40, which is placed on a specific tray 50. The tray 50 has a hollow design to accommodate the structure of the support frame 40, allowing the support frame 40 to be stably placed on the tray 50 without shifting during assembly. Different specifications of the support frame 40 require different tray 50 structures. Therefore, the tray 50 is detachably fixed to the rotary table 10, allowing workers to manually switch between custom-made trays 50 according to different product specifications.
[0052] The rotating platform 10 includes a mounting portion 100 for mounting and fixing the tray 50. In this embodiment, the rotating platform 10 has multiple mounting portions 100, which are spaced apart circumferentially on the rotating platform 10. Multiple fixing bolts 110 are provided on each mounting portion 100. These fixing bolts 110 are rotatable and are spaced apart circumferentially on the mounting portion 100, thus collectively fixing the tray 50 and ensuring even distribution of the tray 50's fixing position, thereby improving the stability of the tray 50. To secure the tray 50, place the tray 50 on the mounting part 100, and then rotate the fixing bolt 110 so that one end of the fixing bolt 110 abuts against the tray 50, thereby securing the tray 50 to the mounting part 100. When replacing the tray 50, rotate the fixing bolt 110 so that the fixing bolt 110 does not contact the tray 50, thereby avoiding the tray 50, remove the tray 50, place a tray 50 of a different size on the mounting part 100, and then rotate the fixing bolt 110 so that the fixing bolt 110 abuts against the tray 50, thereby securing the tray 50.
[0053] In this embodiment, the tray 50 is fixed by a rotatable fixing bolt 110, which facilitates manual replacement of the tray 50 corresponding to different product specifications, improves the applicability of the roller 60 assembly mechanism, and is simple to operate.
[0054] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, the roller 60 assembly mechanism also includes a second robot 30. The second robot 30 and the first robot 20 are respectively arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotary table 10 on the outer side of the rotary table 10. The second robot 30 is used to unload the support frame 40 of the roller 60 to the designated area. Specifically, the roller 60 assembly mechanism further includes a second robot 30, which is used to unload the support frame 40 with the roller 60 assembled onto a designated area. The second robot 30 and the first robot 20 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first robot 20 and the second robot 30 are respectively spaced apart on the outer side of the rotary table 10 along the circumference. This allows the rotary table 10 to rotate after the support frame 40 with the roller 60 assembled onto it is located in the area near the first robot 20. The rotary table 10 then rotates to move the support frame 40 with the roller 60 assembled onto it toward the area where the second robot 30 is located. After moving into position, the second robot 30 picks up the support frame 40 with the roller 60 assembled onto it and places it into the designated area, thereby performing an automated unloading operation. The designated area can be the production line 320 or the defective product collection area 330, and is not limited here.
[0055] In this embodiment, the second robot 30 is used to automate the unloading of the roller 60 assembly, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the roller 60 assembly.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the second robot 30 includes an industrial camera 310, which is positioned facing the rotary table 10 to detect the installation status of the roller 60 and the support frame 40. Specifically, the second robot 30 is further equipped with an industrial camera 310, whose shooting direction is towards the support frame 40 on the rotary table 10, thereby detecting the installation status of the roller 60 and the support frame 40. The control system obtains the installation status of the roller 60 and the support frame 40 through the industrial camera 310, and compares it with the data processed by the system's built-in qualified product image to determine whether the roller 60 of the support frame 40 is missing or not installed properly. If the roller 60 is not installed properly, the control system controls the second robot 30 to remove the support frame 40 with the roller 60 not installed properly to the non-conforming product collection area 330 (i.e., NG area). If the roller 60 is installed properly, the control system controls the second robot 30 to put the support frame 40 on the production line 320 for the next stage of assembly.
[0057] In this embodiment, by setting the industrial camera 310 on the second robot 30, the assembly status of the roller 60 assembly can be accurately detected. Incomplete assembly or missing parts can be accurately identified and defective products can be automatically rejected, thereby improving the product quality of the roller 60 assembly mechanism.
[0058] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the roller 60 assembly mechanism also includes a third robot 70, which is arranged adjacent to the first robot 20 and the second robot 30, and is spaced along the circumference of the rotary table 10 on the outer side of the rotary table 10. The third robot 70 is used to load the support frame 40 onto the tray 50 on the rotary table 10, thereby realizing the automated loading operation of the roller 60 assembly mechanism, improving production efficiency, and achieving precise placement of the support frame 40. Specifically, the third robot 70 automatically captures the target in the material loading area of the support frame 40 using an industrial camera 310, converts the shape information of the captured target into a digital signal, and the internal image processing system matches the result of the collected signal calculation with the contour value of the support frame 40. Based on the determined position information, the third robot 70 adjusts its joint posture, accurately positions the support frame 40, and uses a suction cup to grasp the material. The suction cup can hold and release the material, and ensure that the surface of the material is not pinched. The third robot 70 transfers the support frame 40 to the tray 50 on the rotary table 10 according to the set path.
[0059] This application, by setting up a rotary table 10, a first robot 20, a second robot 30, and a third robot 70, allows the rotary table 10 to rotate and drive the support frame 40 to rotate within a designated area, thereby performing loading, assembly, and unloading operations on the support frame 40. The first robot 20 is used to assemble the rollers 60 onto the support frame 40. The second robot 30 is used to unload qualified support frames 40 equipped with the rollers 60 to the production line 320 and unload unqualified support frames 40 to the NG area. The third robot 70 is used to load the support frames 40 onto the rotary table 10, thereby enabling the roller 60 assembly mechanism to automatically load, assemble, unload, and intelligently detect and automatically reject unqualified products, improving the assembly efficiency and product quality of the roller 60 assembly mechanism.
