Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a production device and method for a motor bracket. Background Art

[0002] In the production line of air-conditioning outdoor units, the production process of air-conditioning outdoor units requires the motor bracket to be installed and fixed before screwing and locking. However, for different models of air-conditioning outdoor units, there is usually a certain deviation in the fixed position of the motor bracket, which results in the current air-conditioning outdoor unit production line being unable to meet the production of air-conditioning outdoor units of different models, or when producing air-conditioning outdoor units of different models, the fixed position of the motor bracket cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the model, resulting in the final product quality failing to meet the standards and the overall pass rate being low. At the same time, since the current air-conditioning outdoor unit production line lacks rich control logic and can only run simply and directly according to the set program, it will result in the inability to timely discover defective products during the production process, and it is easy for unqualified products to flow directly into the next process for unnecessary production, which will not only lead to corresponding quality risks in the final products, but also cause waste of production resources.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0062] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0063] See below Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides a production device for a motor bracket, which is suitable for producing an air conditioner outdoor unit 1, and the production device includes:

[0064] The transmission part 2 is used to transmit the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 and the motor bracket 11; the transmission part 2 includes an installation area, a detection area and a reflow area;

[0065] The clamping and positioning assembly 3 is provided with a first detection member 31, which is used to perform a first station installation detection on the motor bracket 11 in place, and clamp the motor bracket 11 to the installation area or the reflow area according to the result of the first station installation detection;

[0066] The locking fixture assembly 4 is provided with a second detection member 41, which is used to perform a second-station installation detection on the motor bracket 11 in the installation area, and transfer the motor bracket 11 in the installation area to the reflow area according to the result of the second-station installation detection, or to install and fix the motor bracket 11 in the installation area, and transfer the motor bracket 11 in the installation area to the detection area or the reflow area according to the result of the installation and fixing operation;

[0067] A visual inspection component 5 is disposed in the inspection area and is used to perform product inspection on the motor bracket 11 in the inspection area;

[0068] The control module is connected to the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual detection component 5 respectively, and is used to control the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual detection component 5 to perform corresponding operations.

[0069] In this embodiment, the production device includes a transmission part 2, a clamping and positioning component 3, a locking fixture component 4, a visual inspection component 5 and a control module. When the motor bracket 11 is in place, the first detection member 31 of the clamping and positioning component 3 performs a first station installation detection on the motor bracket 11, and according to the result of the first station installation detection, the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the installation area or the reflow area, that is, when the result of the first station installation detection passes (for example, meets the set detection standard), the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the installation area, and when the result of the first station installation detection fails (for example, does not meet the set detection standard), the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the reflow area. Here, the so-called reflow area refers to an unqualified area for preventing unqualified products, in which unqualified products can be manually processed, and after the processing is completed, the product is placed in the transmission part 2 for re-inspection. When the motor bracket 11 is located in the installation area, the second inspection member 41 of the locking fixture assembly 4 is used to perform a second-station installation inspection on the motor bracket 11. If the inspection here fails, the product is transferred to the reflow area for manual processing. If the inspection here passes, the locking fixture assembly 4 can be used to install and fix it, and production inspection is continued during the installation and fixing operation process to further ensure production quality. Similarly, if the production inspection fails during the installation and fixing operation process, the product is transferred to the reflow area. If the production inspection during the installation and fixing operation is qualified, the product is continued to be transferred to the inspection area for the next step of inspection. When the motor bracket 11 is located in the inspection area, the visual inspection assembly 5 is used to perform product inspection on the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 is qualified for production. Accordingly, if the product inspection here fails, the product is continued to be transferred to the reflow area. If the product inspection here is qualified, the product is transferred to the next process.

[0070] In general, this embodiment controls the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual inspection component 5 through the control module, so that the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual inspection component 5 respectively perform production inspections on the motor bracket 11 in different production processes, so that unqualified products in the production process can be eliminated in time, and unqualified products can be prevented from flowing into the next process, and unqualified products can be prevented from being produced due to equipment unit abnormalities and other reasons, thereby improving the production quality of the motor bracket 11 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 and improving the product qualification rate. Moreover, based on the production inspection of the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual inspection component 5, a completely closed-loop production mode of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 automatically fixing the motor bracket 11 unit can be formed, and it can be compatible with the production of different models.

[0071] In actual application scenarios, the control module can be a host computer, or a corresponding server or service terminal, etc. In some optional embodiments, the host computer is used as the control module, and a mechanical arm 7 is also provided, and the mechanical arm 7 is connected to the clamping positioning component 3 and the locking fixture component 4 respectively, so that the corresponding control instructions can be sent to the mechanical arm 7 by the host computer, and the mechanical arm 7 drives the clamping positioning component 3 or the locking fixture component 4 to the corresponding operating position according to the control instructions, so that the clamping positioning component 3 or the locking fixture component 4 performs the production inspection operation at the operating position. It can also be understood that the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 and the motor bracket 11 described in this embodiment are in place, which means that the motor bracket 11 reaches the specified transmission position, which can be in the installation area, so that after completing the first station installation inspection, the installation and fixing operation can be performed directly in the installation area. Of course, the position in place can also be earlier than the installation area, so that after completing the first station installation inspection, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the installation area for installation and fixing operation. The process of qualified products in this embodiment is: in place → installation area → detection area → next process, and the process of unqualified products is directly transferred from different detection positions to the reflow area.

[0072] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the clamp positioning assembly 3 includes:

[0073] Positioning bracket 32;

[0074] The slide cylinder 33 is arranged above the positioning bracket 32;

[0075] A clamping jaw 34 is provided at the front end of the slide cylinder 33, and the first detection member 31 is mounted on the clamping jaw 34;

[0076] The adjustment module 35 is disposed between the positioning bracket 32 ​​and the slide cylinder 33 , and is used to adjust the positions of the slide cylinder 33 and the clamping jaws 34 .

[0077] In this embodiment, the clamping and positioning assembly 3 specifically includes a clamping device such as a positioning bracket 32, a slide cylinder 33 and a clamping claw 34. At the same time, the clamping and positioning assembly 3 is also provided with an adjustment module 35 for adjusting the extension distance of the slide cylinder 33 and the clamping position of the clamping claw 34. Here, the adjustment module 35 may include a longitudinal adjustment module 351 and a lateral adjustment module 352. In addition, the first detection member 31 is installed on the clamping claw 34, so that the product can be detected more clearly. Specifically, a linear photoelectric detection sensor can be used to perform station installation detection on the product.

[0078] Specifically, the line photoelectric detection sensor can first detect the in-position signal of the motor bracket 11, and then the adjustment module 35 can be used to control the clamping claw 34 to extend to the two ends of the motor bracket 11, and then the slide cylinder 33 can be contracted to make the clamping claw 34 clamp the motor bracket 11 left and right, so as to fix the motor bracket 11. After the motor bracket 11 is fixed, the line photoelectric detection sensor installed on the clamping claw 34 performs the first station installation of the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 has a problem of improper station installation in the previous process. If it is detected that the position of the motor bracket 11 is correct, the clamping positioning component 3 can be driven by the mechanical arm 7 to move the clamped and fixed motor bracket 11 to the installation area and wait for the nut to be installed. If it is detected that the position of the motor bracket 11 is not correct, the clamping positioning fixture releases the fixed motor bracket 11 and retracts, and the motor bracket 11 is directly rejected and flows to the reflow area for placing unqualified products, and waits for manual processing. In actual application scenarios, whether the mounting holes can be aligned can be used as the detection standard here, that is, if the mounting holes are aligned, the position of the motor bracket 11 is determined to be correct, and if the mounting holes cannot be aligned, the position of the motor bracket 11 is determined to be incorrect. Of course, in other scenarios, other detection standards can also be used for judgment.

[0079] In one embodiment, the locking fixture assembly 4 includes:

[0080] A locking fixture 41 is used to install and fix the motor bracket 11; the second detection member 41 is installed on the locking fixture 41;

[0081] A torque detection device, installed on the locking fixture 41, for detecting the degree of installation and fixation of the locking fixture 41;

[0082] The vibration plate is connected to the locking fixture 41 through a pipeline and is used to feed the locking fixture 41 .

[0083] In this embodiment, the locking clamp assembly 4 includes a locking clamp 41, a torque detection device, a vibration plate and other components, wherein the torque detection device and the second detection member 41 for performing a second station installation detection on the product are both installed on the locking clamp 41, and specifically, the second detection member 41 can be a visual component. When the motor bracket 11 arrives at the installation area, the locking clamp assembly 4 takes a photo of the installation hole of the motor bracket 11 through the visual component on the locking clamp 41 to determine the center of the installation hole of the motor bracket 11, so as to facilitate subsequent installation and fixing operations. Here, if the center of the installation hole is detected and the position of the center meets the set standard, then it can be determined that the second station installation test has passed, and if the center of the installation hole is not detected, or the center is detected, but the position of the center deviates from the set standard, then it can be determined that the second station installation test has passed. For the motor bracket 11 that fails the second station installation test, it can be transferred to the reflow area by the robot arm 7 or other means to wait for manual processing, while for the motor bracket 11 that passes the second station installation test, it can be installed and fixed.

[0084] It is understandable that before the installation and fixing operation, the vibration plate will feed the locking fixture 41 through the pipeline (i.e., deliver screws), and during the installation and fixing operation, the locking fixture 41 will perform operations such as blowing nails to screw the motor bracket 11. Here, if the locking fixture 41 still cannot detect the feeding after the vibration plate has been fed for multiple times in a row, or cannot detect the feeding each time, then the locking fixture 41 can report abnormal information to the control module, such as the host computer, to prompt the user to feed screws to the vibration plate or to detect and troubleshoot the vibration plate.

[0085] Thereafter, during the installation and fixing operation, the servo motor on the locking fixture 41 will drive the screw to perform the knob operation to complete the corresponding screw-on action. During this period, the torque detection device will detect and compare the torque value of the locking fixture 41. When the torque value reaches the set completion value, it means that the screw installation is completed. At this time, the locking fixture 41 can stop the knob action for this screw. When the torque value still does not reach the set completion value after being twisted to a certain extent, it is determined that the installation and fixing operation is unqualified, and then the corresponding motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the reflow area to wait for manual detection of abnormalities. In actual application scenarios, during the installation and fixing operation, two screws will be installed on the motor bracket 11. During the installation of these two screws, if the torque value corresponding to the two or any one of the screws does not reach the set completion value, the installation and fixing operation will be determined to be unqualified.

[0086] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the visual inspection component 5 includes an industrial camera for collecting image data and a camera bracket for mounting the industrial camera.

[0087] In this embodiment, after the installation and fixing operation is completed, in order to ensure that the product has a high production qualification rate, the motor bracket 11 transmitted to the inspection area is subjected to installation standard inspection by the visual inspection component 5, for example, to detect whether the screws have defects such as scratches, crooked locks or missing locks. Specifically, the image data of the installation and fixing area of ​​the motor bracket 11 can be collected by the industrial camera of the visual inspection component 5, and image processing can be performed, and then it can be determined whether the installation and fixing area meets the preset installation standards. If the installation and fixing area meets the preset installation standards, it is determined that the motor bracket 11 is qualified for production, and the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the next process; if the installation and fixing area does not meet the preset installation standards, it is determined that the motor bracket 11 is unqualified for production, and the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the reflow area for manual processing.

[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, a blocker 6 is provided between the installation area and the detection area.

[0089] This embodiment further ensures the reliability of the test results by setting a blocker 6 to prevent individual products from flowing directly into the next area or the next process without being tested, thereby affecting the final product qualification rate. In practical applications, the position where the motor bracket 11 is in place can be the installation area, or it can be another area different from the installation area. For example, the position where the motor bracket 11 is in place can be the installation area. Then, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 and the motor bracket 11 are in place on the transmission part 2, the blocker 6 can be controlled to raise the built-in blocking tooling plate to achieve product positioning. For another example, when the product is installed and fixed, the blocker 6 can be controlled to lower the blocking tooling plate to transfer the product to the inspection area.

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for producing a motor bracket, which is applied to the production device of the motor bracket as described in any one of the above items, and the production method includes: steps S101 to S103.

[0091] Step S101: when the motor bracket 11 is in place, the first detection member 31 performs a first station installation detection on the motor bracket 11, and according to the result of the first station installation detection, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the installation area or the reflow area;

[0092] Step S102: when the motor bracket 11 is located in the installation area, the second detection member 41 performs a second-station installation detection on the motor bracket 11, and according to the result of the second-station installation detection, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area, or the locking fixture assembly 4 is controlled to perform an installation and fixing operation on the motor bracket 11, and according to the result of the installation and fixing operation, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the detection area or the reflow area;

[0093] Step S103 : when the motor bracket 11 is located in the detection area, the visual detection component 5 performs product detection on the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 is qualified.

[0094] In this embodiment, when the motor bracket 11 is in place, the first detection member 31 of the clamping positioning assembly 3 performs the first station installation detection on the motor bracket 11. If the result of the first station installation detection passes, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the installation area. If the result of the first station installation detection fails, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area. Here, the so-called reflow area refers to an unqualified area for preventing unqualified products. In this area, unqualified products can be manually processed, and after the processing is completed, the products are placed on the transmission part 2 for re-inspection. When the motor bracket 11 is located in the installation area, the second inspection member 41 of the locking fixture assembly 4 is used to perform a second station installation inspection on the motor bracket 11. If the inspection here fails, the product is transferred to the reflow area for manual processing. If the inspection here passes, the locking fixture assembly 4 can be used to install and fix it, and production inspection is continued during the installation and fixing operation process to further ensure production quality. Similarly, if the production inspection fails during the installation and fixing operation process, the product is transferred to the reflow area. If the production inspection during the installation and fixing operation is qualified, the product is continued to be transferred to the inspection area for the next step of inspection. When the motor bracket 11 is located in the inspection area, the motor bracket 11 is inspected by the visual inspection assembly 5 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 is qualified for production. Accordingly, if the product inspection here fails, the product is continued to be transferred to the reflow area. If the product inspection here is qualified, the product is transferred to the next process.

[0095] In this embodiment, the motor bracket 11 is inspected in different production processes by the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual inspection component 5, so that unqualified products in the production process can be removed in time, and unqualified products can be prevented from flowing into the next process, and unqualified products can be prevented from being produced due to equipment unit abnormalities and other reasons, thereby improving the production quality of the motor bracket 11 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 and improving the product qualification rate. Moreover, based on the production inspection of the clamping and positioning component 3, the locking fixture component 4 and the visual inspection component 5, a completely closed-loop production mode of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 automatically fixing the motor bracket 11 unit can be formed, and it can be compatible with the production of different models.

[0096] In practical applications, the implementation subject of the production method provided in this embodiment may be a control module in a production device, or may be an independently set host computer or other server, service terminal, etc.

[0097] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the step S101 includes: steps S201 to S203.

[0098] According to a preset first detection standard, the first detection member 31 performs a first station installation detection on the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 meets the preset first detection standard;

[0099] If it is determined that the motor bracket 11 meets the preset first detection standard, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the installation area;

[0100] If it is determined that the motor bracket 11 does not meet the preset first detection standard, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the in-position signal of the motor bracket 11 is received, the clamping positioning component 3 will perform the corresponding clamping action, and then the first detector on the clamping positioning component 3 will perform the first station installation of the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 has a problem of improper station installation in the previous process. If it is detected that the position of the motor bracket 11 is correct, the motor bracket 11 can be moved to the installation area and wait for the nut to be installed. If it is detected that the position of the motor bracket 11 is not correct, the clamping positioning fixture loosens the fixed motor bracket 11 and retracts, and the motor bracket 11 is directly removed and flows to the reflow area for placing unqualified products, and waits for manual processing. In actual application scenarios, whether the installation hole position can be aligned can be used as the detection standard here, that is, if the installation hole position is aligned, it is determined that the position of the motor bracket 11 is aligned, and if the installation hole position cannot be aligned, it is determined that the position of the motor bracket 11 is not aligned. Of course, in other scenarios, other detection standards can also be used for judgment.

[0102] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the step S102 includes: steps S301 to S303.

[0103] Step S301: According to a preset second detection standard, the second detection member 41 performs a second station installation detection on the motor bracket 11 to determine whether the motor bracket 11 meets the preset second detection standard;

[0104] Step S302: if it is determined that the motor bracket 11 meets the preset second detection standard, the locking fixture assembly 4 is controlled to perform an installation and fixing operation on the motor bracket 11;

[0105] Step S303: If it is determined that the motor bracket 11 does not meet the preset second detection standard, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area.

[0106] Further, such as Fig.10 As shown, the step S302 includes: steps S401 to S403.

[0107] Step S401, obtaining feeding information through the locking fixture 41, and determining whether there is a feeding failure according to the feeding information;

[0108] Step S402: if the feeding information meets the preset feeding standard, it is determined that there is no feeding failure, and the installation and fixing operation is continued;

[0109] Step S403: If the feeding information does not meet the preset feeding standard, it is determined that there is a feeding failure and a failure alarm is issued.

[0110] In this embodiment, when the motor bracket 11 reaches the installation area, the second detection member 41 on the locking fixture 41, such as a visual component, performs a second-station installation detection on the motor bracket 11, such as taking a photo of the installation hole of the motor bracket 11 to determine the center of the installation hole of the motor bracket 11, so as to facilitate subsequent installation and fixing operations. Here, if the center of the installation hole is detected, and the position of the center meets the set standard, then it can be determined that the second-station installation detection has passed, and if the center of the installation hole is not detected, or the center is detected, but the position of the center deviates from the set standard, then it can be determined that the second-station installation detection has passed. For motor brackets 11 that fail the second-station installation detection, they can be transferred to the reflow area by means of a robot arm 7, etc., for manual processing, and for motor brackets 11 that pass the second-station installation detection, they can be installed and fixed.

[0111] It is understandable that before the installation and fixing operation, the vibration plate will feed the locking fixture 41 through the pipeline (i.e., deliver screws), and during the installation and fixing operation, the locking fixture 41 will perform operations such as blowing nails to screw and fix the motor bracket 11. Here, if the locking fixture 41 still cannot detect the material after the vibration plate is continuously fed for multiple times, or cannot detect it every time it is fed, then the locking fixture 41 can report abnormal information to the control module, such as the host computer, to prompt the user to feed screws to the vibration plate or to detect and troubleshoot the vibration plate.

[0112] Furthermore, in another embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, the step S102 also includes: steps S501 to S503. Including:

[0113] Step S501, when controlling the locking fixture assembly 4 to install and fix the motor bracket 11, detecting the torque value generated in the installation and fixing operation of the locking fixture assembly 4, and comparing the torque value with a preset torque threshold;

[0114] Step S502: if the torque value reaches a preset torque threshold, the locking fixture 41 is controlled to stop the current installation and fixing operation, and the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the detection area after the locking fixture assembly 4 completes all installation and fixing operations;

[0115] Step S503: If the torque value does not reach the preset torque threshold, the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area.

[0116] During the installation and fixing operation, the servo motor on the locking fixture 41 will drive the screw to perform the knob operation to complete the corresponding screw-on action. During this period, the torque detection device will detect and compare the torque value of the locking fixture 41. When the torque value reaches the set completion value (i.e., the torque threshold), it means that the screw installation is completed. At this time, the locking fixture 41 can stop the knob action for this screw. When the torque value still does not reach the set completion value after being twisted to a certain degree, it is determined that the installation and fixing operation is unqualified, and then the corresponding motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the reflow area to wait for manual detection of abnormalities. In actual application scenarios, during the installation and fixing operation, two screws will be installed on the motor bracket 11. Then, during the installation of these two screws, if the torque value corresponding to the two or any one of the screws does not reach the set completion value, the installation and fixing operation will be determined to be unqualified.

[0117] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, the step S103 includes: steps S601 to S604.

[0118] Step S601, collecting image data of the installation and fixing area of ​​the motor bracket 11 through the visual detection component 5;

[0119] Step S602: performing image processing on the image data of the installation fixing area to determine whether the installation fixing area meets a preset installation standard;

[0120] Step S603: If the installation and fixing area meets the preset installation standard, it is determined that the motor bracket 11 is qualified for production, and the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the next process;

[0121] Step S604: If the installation and fixing area does not meet the preset installation standard, it is determined that the motor bracket 11 is unqualified in production, and the motor bracket 11 is transferred to the reflow area.

[0122] In this embodiment, after the installation and fixing operation is completed, in order to ensure that the product has a high production qualification rate, the motor bracket 11 transmitted to the inspection area is subjected to installation standard inspection by the visual inspection component 5, for example, to detect whether the screws have defects such as scratches, crooked locks or missing locks. Specifically, the image data of the installation and fixing area of ​​the motor bracket 11 can be collected by the industrial camera of the visual inspection component 5, and image processing can be performed, and then it is determined whether the installation and fixing area meets the preset installation standards. If the installation and fixing area meets the preset installation standards, for example, the screws do not have defects such as scratches, crooked locks or missing locks, it is determined that the production qualification inspection has passed, and the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the next process; if the installation and fixing area does not meet the preset installation standards, it is determined that the production qualification inspection has not passed, and the motor bracket 11 is transmitted to the reflow area for manual processing.
