[0058] Air conditioning parts can be transported between production lines by line transfer equipment, but the shapes of air conditioning parts on the production line are not consistent. When air conditioning parts need to be transported, the line transfer equipment may fail to transport or damage the air conditioning parts due to improper operation or mismatch with the shape of the air conditioning parts. During the assembly process of each air conditioning part, the air conditioner needs to ensure the integrity of each air conditioning part. Therefore, the present application provides a method for transferring air conditioning parts, which can ensure the safety of the transfer process of air conditioning parts between different production lines and improve assembly efficiency.
[0059] The air conditioner component transfer method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The air conditioning component transfer system shown. The air conditioning component transfer system includes a discharging production line, a target production line and a transfer device, and the discharging production line is used to place the air conditioning components. Among them, the discharging production line can produce the air conditioning components, and move the air conditioning components on the discharging production line with the transmission belt; the discharging production line can also obtain the air conditioning components from other production lines or other equipment, and move the air conditioning components on the discharging production line with the transmission belt. The target production line is the next process production line of the air conditioning components, which can be used to process the air conditioning components or to assemble the air conditioning components. The production line uses a rolling transmission belt to carry the air conditioning components on the conveyor belt to follow the movement, such as a pulley.
[0060] Furthermore, the discharging production line includes a discharging point, and when the air conditioning component moves along the conveyor belt on the discharging production line, it stops moving when it reaches the discharging point. That is, the location of the discharging point is the end area of the conveyor belt of the discharging production line.
[0061] The line transfer device is arranged between the discharge production line and the target production line, wherein the line transfer device can grab, clamp or absorb the air conditioning components located on the discharge production line, and transfer the air conditioning components to the target production line according to the air conditioning component line transfer method provided in this application. Furthermore, the line transfer device can be one or more, all of which are arranged between the discharge production line and the target production line, can obtain and transfer the air conditioning components, and are used to implement the air conditioning component line transfer method recorded in each embodiment.
[0062] In one embodiment, the line transfer device includes a robot or a manipulator. When the line transfer device includes a robot, the robot can grab, clamp or suck the air conditioning component according to its own hardware structure. For example, when the robot is equipped with a negative pressure pickup device, it can suck the air conditioning component by generating negative pressure. The robot can be a six-axis robot. When the line transfer device includes a manipulator, the manipulator can be a multi-axis manipulator with a high degree of freedom and can grab the air conditioning component.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2As shown, a method for transferring an air conditioner component is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1 The line transfer device in is used as an example to illustrate, including the following steps 202 to 206.
[0064] Step 202, obtaining position parameters of air-conditioning components on the discharging production line.
[0065] The discharge production line may produce the air-conditioning component and move the air-conditioning component on the discharge production line with the conveyor belt; the discharge production line may also obtain the air-conditioning component from other production lines or other equipment and move the air-conditioning component on the discharge production line with the conveyor belt. The discharge production line includes a discharge point, and when the air-conditioning component moves along the conveyor belt on the discharge production line, it stops moving when it reaches the discharge point. That is, the location of the discharge point is the end area of the conveyor belt of the discharge production line.
[0066] Specifically, the line transfer device has a sensor element or a visual perception element, which can sense the air-conditioning components on the discharge production line, and can use the sensor element to scan the air-conditioning components located at the discharge port of the discharge production line to obtain the position parameters of the air-conditioning components. Alternatively, the visual perception element can be used to take a photo of the air-conditioning components located at the discharge port of the discharge production line to obtain the position parameters of the air-conditioning components.
[0067] Step 204: classify the position parameters of the air-conditioning components based on a preset position parameter template to determine the type of the air-conditioning components.
[0068] The line transfer device stores a preset position parameter template, which may be input into the line transfer device by a staff member, or may be obtained by fitting the historical data of the position parameters of the air-conditioning components on the discharge production line, or may be established through big data or AI. Specifically, the line transfer device classifies the position parameters of the air-conditioning component according to the preset position parameter template to determine the type of the air-conditioning component. In one case, the preset position parameter template may include multiple templates, and the line transfer device compares the position parameters of the air-conditioning component with different preset position parameter templates and obtains the similarity, and uses the type of the air-conditioning component corresponding to the template with the highest similarity as the type of the air-conditioning component.
[0069] In one case, the preset position parameter template may be a data template, and the corresponding position parameter of the air-conditioning component is the same type of data. In this case, the line switching device can compare the data value of the position parameter of the air-conditioning component with the data template of the preset position parameter template, and determine the type of the air-conditioning component according to the comparison result. Furthermore, the preset position parameter template may also be multiple data templates, and the type of the corresponding air-conditioning component is determined according to the different data intervals divided by each data template.
[0070] In one case, the preset position parameter template may be a picture template, and correspondingly, the position parameter of the air-conditioning component is the picture of the shooting angle. In this case, the line transfer device can set up one or more feature points in the preset position parameter template, and then compare the position corresponding to the feature point in the position parameter of the air-conditioning component with the feature point to determine whether the image picture in the position parameter matches the preset position parameter template, and obtain the type of the air-conditioning component based on the matching result. Furthermore, the preset position parameter template can also be multiple picture templates, and the type corresponding to the picture template with the highest similarity to the position parameter of the air-conditioning component is used as the type of the air-conditioning component.
[0071] For example, the types of air conditioner components can be divided from different angles, such as the types of air conditioners such as housing, base, and support can be obtained by dividing the types of air conditioners according to the components of the air conditioner components. In addition, the air conditioner components can be divided from the model perspective according to the components of the air conditioner components, such as identifying bases of different models. For example, the types of air conditioner components can be divided according to the placement of the air conditioner components, and the front air conditioner components, the back air conditioner components, and the abnormal air conditioner components can be obtained.
[0072] Step 206 , based on the type of the air conditioning component, control the air conditioning component to be transferred to the target production line.
[0073] The line switching device stores the corresponding control logic for different types of air conditioning components, which can be used to control the air conditioning components to be placed on different production lines or to control the air conditioning components to be discarded. Specifically, after obtaining the type of air conditioner, the line switching device calls the corresponding line switching control logic according to the type of the air conditioning component to control the air conditioning component to be transferred to the target production line.
[0074] The above-mentioned air-conditioning component transfer method includes obtaining the position parameters of the air-conditioning components on the discharge production line, classifying the position parameters of the air-conditioning components based on a preset position parameter template, determining the type of the air-conditioning components, and controlling the transfer of the air-conditioning components to the target production line based on the type of the air-conditioning components. By classifying the position parameters of the air-conditioning components on the discharge production line and correspondingly transferring the air-conditioning components to the corresponding target production line, the accurate transfer of the air-conditioning components is achieved, which lays a positioning foundation for the subsequent assembly of the air-conditioning components and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.
[0075] Taking the preset position parameter template as a picture template as an example, in an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the process of establishing the preset position parameter template includes steps 302 to 304.
[0076] Step 302, establishing a visual framework based on the preset position of the discharge production line.
[0077] Among them, the preset position of the discharge production line is the designated position for placing the air conditioning components, that is, the discharge port of the discharge production line. The visual frame includes the template air conditioning components, which are the normally transmitted air conditioning components placed on the discharge production line. The template air conditioning components are complete, corresponding to the air conditioning components in an ideal production environment where there is no loss during production, transmission and reaching the discharge port of the discharge production line.
[0078] Specifically, the visual frame can be regarded as a specified shooting angle, which includes the template air conditioning component, and the template air conditioning component is placed at a preset position of the discharge production line, that is, the discharge port. When the specified shooting angle is fixed and the shooting angle can shoot the discharge port of the discharge production line, the template air conditioning component at the discharge port can be shot.
[0079] Step 304, record different viewing angles of the template air conditioning component within the visual frame to obtain a preset position parameter template.
[0080] Specifically, the template air conditioning component is photographed at the shooting angle of the visual frame, and the images of the template air conditioning component at different angles within the visual frame are recorded, and the images at different angles are used as preset position parameter templates. Images at different angles can be achieved by moving the template air conditioning component. In this embodiment, the shooting angle of the visual frame remains unchanged, and the template air conditioning component can be placed in different ways at the position of the discharge port. The template air conditioning component is moved by rotating, flipping, etc. At this time, the line transfer device shoots and records different visual images of the template air conditioning component within the visual frame.
[0081] The line transfer device can record different surfaces of the template space component. Exemplarily, the template air conditioning component has a front side and a back side, wherein the front side and the back side are opposite sides, and optionally, the front side can refer to the front side, in which case the back side is the back side; the front side can refer to the top side, in which case the back side is the bottom side. The line transfer device can record the image of the template air conditioning component from the front perspective within the visual frame, can also record the image of the template air conditioning component from the back perspective within the visual frame, and can also record images from other angles.
[0082] Taking the front view and the back view of the air conditioner component of the transfer equipment recording template as an example, in one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the preset position parameter template includes a front template and a back template, and step 304 includes steps 402 to 404.
[0083] Step 402, record the first-perspective image of the template air-conditioning component within the visual frame to obtain a front template.
[0084] Specifically, the line transfer device records the first perspective image of the template air-conditioning component in the visual frame. In the first perspective image, the shooting perspective of the visual frame is facing the front of the template air-conditioning component, and the front of the template air-conditioning component is recorded to obtain the front template.
[0085] Step 404, record the image of the template air conditioning component at a second viewing angle within the visual frame to obtain a negative template.
[0086] The first perspective and the second perspective are two relative perspectives, that is, if the first perspective is the front side of the template air conditioning component, the second perspective is the back side of the template air conditioning component. Specifically, the line transfer device records the second perspective picture of the template air conditioning component in the visual frame, in which the shooting perspective of the visual frame is facing the back side of the template air conditioning component, and the back side of the template air conditioning component is recorded to obtain a back side template.
[0087] Further, when the template air conditioning component is placed in the front in the visual frame and the viewing angle is recorded to obtain the front template, the reverse template is the viewing angle recorded when the template air conditioning component is placed in the reverse in the visual frame. When the template air conditioning component is placed with the upper surface facing upward in the visual frame and the viewing angle is recorded to obtain the front template, the reverse template is the viewing angle recorded when the template air conditioning component is placed with the lower surface facing upward in the visual frame.
[0088] In this embodiment, by using template air-conditioning components to establish a preset position parameter template, the template establishment can be achieved more accurately and comprehensively, which is conducive to the type identification of air-conditioning components when the line transfer equipment transfers the air-conditioning components, realizes accurate and efficient line transfer operations, and improves the assembly efficiency of air-conditioning components.
[0089] In one embodiment, the preset position parameter template is established before step 202. Figure 5 As shown, step 204 includes step 502: screening the position parameters of the air-conditioning component based on the front template and the back template to determine the type of the air-conditioning component as a front air-conditioning component, a back air-conditioning component or an abnormal air-conditioning component.
[0090] Based on the above-mentioned positive template and negative template, the switch device screens and matches the position parameters of the air-conditioning component, calculates and analyzes the matching degree between the position parameters of the air-conditioning component and different templates, and determines the type of the air-conditioning component according to different matching degrees. Specifically, the switch device calls the positive template and the negative template, and compares and analyzes the positive template and the negative template with the position parameters of the air-conditioning component respectively to determine the type of the air-conditioning component.
[0091] The types of air-conditioning components include front air-conditioning components, back air-conditioning components and abnormal air-conditioning components. When the similarity between the position parameter of the air-conditioning component and the front template is higher than or equal to the set similarity, the line switching device determines the type of the air-conditioning component as a front air-conditioning component. When the similarity between the position parameter of the air-conditioning component and the back template is higher than or equal to the set similarity, the line switching device determines the type of the air-conditioning component as a back air-conditioning component. When the similarity between the position parameter of the air-conditioning component and the front template or the back template is lower than the set similarity, the line switching device determines the type of the air-conditioning component as an abnormal air-conditioning component.
[0092] Optionally, in order to further unify the position parameters of the air-conditioning components, so that the position parameters of the air-conditioning components can match the type of the front air-conditioning components or the back air-conditioning components as much as possible. In one embodiment, a side push mechanism is also provided on the discharge production line, and the side push mechanism is provided between the conveyor belt and the discharge port, and is used to guide the air-conditioning components to adjust their positions and perform rough positioning of the air-conditioning components.
[0093] In one embodiment, the target production line includes a second production line and a third production line, and the second production line and the third production line are used to perform different functions on the air-conditioning components. For example, the second production line is used to process the air-conditioning components, and the third production line is used to assemble the air-conditioning components; or the second production line is used to assemble the air-conditioning components, and the third production line is used to discard the air-conditioning components. Figure 6 As shown, step 206 includes steps 602 to 604 .
[0094] Step 602: If the type of the air-conditioning component is a front air-conditioning component or a back air-conditioning component, control the air-conditioning component to be transferred to the second production line.
[0095] After obtaining the type of the air conditioning component, the line transfer device needs to move the air conditioning component and transfer it to other production lines. Specifically, if the type of the air conditioning component is a front air conditioning component or a back air conditioning component, it indicates that the position of the air conditioning component is accurate and the structure of the air conditioning component is perfect.
[0096] At this time, the line transfer device can control the air conditioning components to be transferred to the second production line. The second production line can be an assembly line, and the air conditioning components are directly placed on the second production line for air conditioning assembly. The second production line can also be a processing line, and the line transfer device transfers the air conditioning components to the second production line, and the second production line reprocesses the air conditioning components.
[0097] Step 604: If the type of the air-conditioning component is an abnormal air-conditioning component, control the air-conditioning component to be transferred to the third production line.
[0098] Specifically, if the type of the air-conditioning component is an abnormal air-conditioning component, it indicates that the position of the air-conditioning component is inaccurate or there are defects in the structure of the air-conditioning component. It is also possible that an air-conditioning component with a process error enters the discharge production line, such as an incorrect specification parameter of the air-conditioning component.
[0099] At this time, the line transfer device can control the air conditioning components to be transferred to the third production line. When the second production line is an assembly line, the third production line can be a processing line, and the air conditioning components are directly placed on the third production line for reprocessing of the air conditioner. The third production line can also be a discarded line or a discarded area, and the line transfer device transfers the abnormal air conditioning components to the discarded line or discarded area and discards the abnormal air conditioning components.
[0100] Furthermore, when the second production line is an assembly line, the position of the air-conditioning components is required to be more accurate. In order to more efficiently complete the installation of the air-conditioning components, when the type of the air-conditioning components is a front air-conditioning component or a back air-conditioning component, the transfer steps of the air-conditioning components by the transfer equipment may be different. In one embodiment, if the type of the air-conditioning component is a front air-conditioning component or a back air-conditioning component. Figure 7 As shown, step 602 includes steps 702 to 704.
[0101] Step 702: If the type of the air conditioning component is a front air conditioning component, control the air conditioning component to be transferred to the second production line.
[0102] Specifically, if the type of the air conditioning component is a front air conditioning component, the position of the air conditioning component is characterized as front placement. At this time, the line transfer device can directly control the air conditioning component to be transferred to the second production line without performing other operations.
[0103] Step 704, if the type of the air-conditioning component is a reverse-side air-conditioning component, control the air-conditioning component to rotate to the opposite side and then transfer it to the second production line.
[0104] Specifically, if the type of the air-conditioning component is a reverse-side air-conditioning component, the position placement of the air-conditioning component is characterized as reverse-side placement. At this time, the line transfer equipment needs to first control the rotation of the air-conditioning component until it rotates to the opposite side, and then control the air-conditioning component to be transferred to the second production line for assembly. Since the opposite side of the reverse side is the front side, after the reverse-side air-conditioning component rotates to the opposite side, the type of the air-conditioning component will change to a front-side air-conditioning component. Then the status of the air-conditioning components on the second production line are all front-side air-conditioning components, and the position parameters are the same. The position accuracy requirements of the assembly process of the air-conditioning components are met, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
[0105] In this embodiment, by adjusting the positions of the air-conditioning components according to their types and transporting them to the corresponding production lines, the air-conditioning components can be accurately classified, and the position parameters of the air-conditioning components can be unified, so that the air-conditioning components on the production line can be neatly placed for easy assembly.
[0106] Based on the same technical concept, the present application also provides an air-conditioning component transfer system, which includes a discharging production line, a target production line and a transfer device, and the discharging production line is used to place the air-conditioning components. Among them, the discharging production line can produce the air-conditioning components, and move the air-conditioning components on the discharging production line with the transmission belt; the discharging production line can also obtain air-conditioning components from other production lines or other equipment, and move the air-conditioning components on the discharging production line with the transmission belt. The target production line is the next process production line of the air-conditioning components, which can be used to process the air-conditioning components or to assemble the air-conditioning components. The production line uses a rolling transmission belt to carry the air-conditioning components on the conveyor belt to follow the movement, such as a pulley.
[0107] Furthermore, the discharging production line includes a discharging point, and when the air conditioning component moves along the conveyor belt on the discharging production line, it stops moving when it reaches the discharging point. That is, the location of the discharging point is the end area of the conveyor belt of the discharging production line.
[0108] The line transfer device is arranged between the discharge production line and the target production line, wherein the line transfer device can grab, clamp or absorb the air conditioning components located on the discharge production line, and transfer the air conditioning components to the target production line according to the air conditioning component line transfer method provided in this application. Furthermore, the line transfer device can be one or more, all of which are arranged between the discharge production line and the target production line, can obtain and transfer the air conditioning components, and are used to implement the air conditioning component line transfer method recorded in each embodiment.
[0109] In one embodiment, the line transfer device includes a robot or a manipulator. When the line transfer device includes a robot, the robot can grab, clamp or suck the air conditioning component according to its own hardware structure. For example, when the robot is equipped with a negative pressure pickup device, it can suck the air conditioning component by generating negative pressure. The robot can be a six-axis robot. When the line transfer device includes a manipulator, the manipulator can be a multi-axis manipulator with a high degree of freedom and can grab the air conditioning component.
[0110] Optionally, in order to further unify the position parameters of the air-conditioning components, so that the position parameters of the air-conditioning components can match the type of the front air-conditioning components or the back air-conditioning components as much as possible. In one embodiment, a side push mechanism is also provided on the discharge production line, and the side push mechanism is provided between the conveyor belt and the discharge port, and is used to guide the air-conditioning components to adjust their positions and perform rough positioning of the air-conditioning components.
[0111] In order to better understand the above solution, a detailed explanation is given below in conjunction with a specific embodiment.
[0112] In one embodiment, an air conditioning component transfer system such as Figure 8As shown in the figure, the air conditioner component is the base, the discharging production line is the base outlet straight belt line, the discharging outlet of the discharging production line is the packaging base on-line point, the line transfer equipment is a handling robot, the second production line is the air conditioner outdoor unit assembly line, and the handling robot can carry the base from the packaging base on-line point to the packaging base placement point of the air conditioner outdoor unit assembly line. The third production line is a mixing box (not shown in the figure), and the handling robot can carry the base from the packaging base on-line point to the mixing box.
[0113] The incoming materials of the bottom trays in the air conditioner packaging are conveyed by belt conveyors, and are transported from the bottom tray outlet straight belt conveyor to the packaging bottom tray loading point. However, when the bottom trays are loaded on the belt conveyor or during the conveying process, there may be material mixing or the material placement direction is wrong. In this case, if a handling robot is used to directly clamp the bottom tray and automatically transport it to the air conditioner outdoor unit assembly line, it will affect the subsequent air conditioner outdoor unit assembly, which may affect production efficiency at the least and cause quality accidents at the worst.
[0114] Therefore, in this embodiment, the machine vision of the handling robot is first used to establish a standard template (preset position parameter template): the base is placed on the upper line point of the packaging base, and after the staff manually roughly positions it, they take pictures of the two ends of the base to establish standard templates, namely Template 1 (front) and Template 2 (back).
[0115] The default template in the standard template is selected according to the machine vision shooting range of the handling robot and the incoming direction of the base tray. In this embodiment, the visual shooting position of the handling robot is the front of the base tray, that is, the front end, and the corresponding default template is Template 1 (front).
[0116] During the operation of the production line, a straight belt line is used at the bottom tray outlet to transport the bottom tray to the loading point of the packaging bottom tray. After the side push mechanism is set to roughly position the bottom tray, the visual system of the handling robot is used to take photos of the front end direction of the bottom tray, and the photo results are compared with the pre-saved template 1 (front) and template 2 (back): when the photo result is consistent with template 1 (front), the output is 01; when the photo result is consistent with template 2 (back), the output is 02; if the photo result does not match the pictures at both ends, the output is 03.
[0117] If the visual system output of the handling robot is 01, the model and direction of the base tray are correct, and the handling robot directly grabs the base tray and places it on the air-conditioning outdoor unit assembly line; if the visual system output of the handling robot is 02, the direction of the base tray is wrong, and the handling robot grabs the base tray to the middle transition point, rotates 180 degrees, and then runs to the air-conditioning outdoor unit assembly line for placement; if the visual system output of the handling robot is 03, it means that the model of the base tray is wrong or the direction of the base tray is wrong, and the handling robot grabs the base tray and discards it in the mixing box outside the line.
[0118] In this embodiment, it is possible to detect and identify base brackets of different models and directions, control the positions and models of base brackets placed on the air-conditioning outdoor unit assembly line to be unified, make the air-conditioning production process visible and controllable, ensure the accuracy of the model and direction status of the base bracket on the air-conditioning assembly line, and improve assembly efficiency.
