[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0026] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to accurately connect two air conditioners between a spraying device and a drying device, resulting in low production efficiency, the present invention provides a transfer device.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the technical solution of the present invention provides a transfer device, including a frame body 10, a support assembly 20, a clamping structure 30 and a detection system; the frame body 10 is used to be installed between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment; the support assembly 20 is movably arranged on the frame body 10 in the horizontal direction; the clamping structure 30 is movably arranged on the support assembly 20 in the vertical direction, and the clamping structure 30 includes a first clamping assembly 31 and a second clamping assembly 32 arranged opposite to each other, the first clamping assembly 31 includes at least two first clamping parts 310 arranged at intervals, and the second clamping assembly 32 includes at least one second clamping part 320, which are respectively used to contact with the heat exchanger of the air conditioner to clamp it; the detection system is connected to the clamping structure 30, so that after the heat exchanger is sprayed by the spraying equipment, the position of the heat exchanger is sensed by the detection system, so as to control the clamping structure 30 to clamp the heat exchanger and drive it to the drying equipment.

[0028] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, the clamping structure 30 can be precisely adjusted in the vertical direction, and the support assembly 20 can move in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the spraying equipment and the drying equipment can also be precisely docked on different horizontal lines without relying on cranes or large forklifts, avoiding production quality problems caused by inaccurate positions, and thus solving the problem of low production efficiency caused by the difficulty in precisely docking the two air conditioners between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment in the prior art. In addition, the first clamping assembly 31 clamps the heat exchanger from one side through at least two first clamping parts 310, and acts oppositely to at least one second clamping part 320 of the second clamping assembly 32. This symmetrical clamping method can ensure that the heat exchanger is stable and firm during the transfer process, avoiding displacement or damage caused by single-point force. By adjusting the relative positions of the first clamping part 310 and the second clamping part 320, accurate positioning and adaptive clamping of heat exchangers of different sizes can be achieved. At the same time, with the introduction of the detection system, real-time monitoring and control of the two air conditioners are realized, which not only improves the automation degree of the transfer process, but also improves the production efficiency and the intelligent level of equipment management through the data processing module, which is easy to operate and reduces manual intervention. Compared with the traditional plate chain connection method, this device can adapt to spraying equipment and drying equipment of different heights and horizontal spacings through the combination of the active component 40 and the support component 20, without the need to frequently adjust the equipment position, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transfer device further includes a movable component 40, which is arranged on the frame body 10, at least part of which is movably arranged in the horizontal direction, and the support component 20 is connected to at least part of the movable component 40, so that the support component 20 drives the clamping structure 30 to be movably arranged in the horizontal direction. In this way, the support component 20 can drive the clamping structure 30 to move in the horizontal direction between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment, which increases the flexibility of the transfer device, can adapt to the distance and height difference between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment of different layouts, and does not need to rely on large machinery to adjust the equipment position, which greatly improves the adaptability of the production line and the freedom of layout.

[0030] Specifically, the movable assembly 40 includes two guide rail seats 41 and a movable plate 42; the two guide rail seats 41 are relatively arranged on the frame body 10 and extend in the horizontal direction; two sliders 420 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the movable plate 42, and the two sliders 420 are slidably connected to the two guide rail seats 41 respectively, and the support assembly 20 is connected to the movable plate 42, so that the support assembly 20 drives the clamping structure 30 to be movably arranged along the extension direction of the guide rail seats 41. In this way, the two guide rail seats 41 provide a stable movement path for the movable plate 42, ensuring the smooth movement of the clamping structure 30 in the horizontal direction, so that the clamping structure 30 can accurately position and transport the two air conditioners during the transfer process after clamping the two air conditioners, further improving the accuracy of the movement, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of the two air conditioners between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment, improving the production efficiency, and reducing the waiting time of the production line.

[0031] Specifically, the movable assembly 40 also includes a lead screw 43 and a first driving component 44; a matching block 421 is provided at the bottom of the movable plate 42, and the lead screw 43 is inserted into the matching block 421 and threadedly connected; the driving end of the first driving component 44 is connected to one end of the lead screw 43 to drive the lead screw 43 to rotate. The first driving component 44 is a cylinder or the like. In this way, the rotation speed and torque of the lead screw 43 can be adjusted according to different requirements through the first driving component 44, thereby controlling the moving speed of the movable plate 42 and the motion force of the clamping structure 30 to adapt to different production rhythms and equipment requirements, thereby improving the operating accuracy and reliability of the air conditioner two-device transfer device, and also improving the automation level, and reducing maintenance and production costs.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support assembly 20 includes a support column 21 and a mounting plate 22; the support column 21 is connected to at least part of the movable assembly 40 in the vertical direction; the support column 21 is provided with a slide rail 23 along its extension direction, the mounting plate 22 is connected with the slide rail 23 in cooperation, and the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 are respectively connected with the mounting plate 22, so that the mounting plate 22 drives the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 to be movably arranged in the vertical direction. In this way, the vertical degree of freedom is provided by the cooperation between the mounting plate 22 and the slide rail 23 on the support column 21, so that the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 can be accurately adjusted in the vertical direction to adapt to the different height differences between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment, thereby ensuring the stability and accurate alignment of the two air conditioners during the transfer process, and avoiding poor contact or damage caused by inaccurate position. At the same time, combined with the coordinated work with the movable component 40, the two air conditioners on the clamping structure 30 can be quickly driven to the docking position to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to accurately dock the two air conditioners between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, at least two first clamping parts 310 are arranged in the same horizontal plane or are arranged at an angle to each other. In this way, when at least two first clamping parts 310 are arranged in the same horizontal plane, it is possible to ensure uniform clamping of the planar heat exchanger and provide stable and non-tilted support. When at least two first clamping parts 310 are arranged at an angle to each other, it can adapt to the clamping of V-shaped, inclined or other non-planar heat exchangers to ensure full contact with the surface of the heat exchanger, improve the stability and safety of the clamping, and the versatility of the equipment and the adaptability of the production line. In addition, by precisely controlling the horizontal or tilt angle of the first clamping part 310, it is possible to reduce damage to the surface of the heat exchanger during the clamping process, avoid scratches or deformation caused by improper clamping, and thus improve the appearance quality and performance of the product.

[0034] In this embodiment, at least one second clamping portion 320 is arranged in the same horizontal plane. The first clamping assembly 31 is located above the second clamping assembly 32 in the vertical direction. In this way, at least one second clamping portion 320 arranged in the same horizontal plane can ensure that the force applied is uniform and balanced when clamping the two air conditioners, which helps to maintain the stability of the two air conditioners during the transfer process, reduces the risk of product swinging or falling off during the transfer process due to center of gravity shift or mechanical vibration, helps to maintain the integrity and appearance quality of the product, and improves the safety and reliability of the production process.

[0035] Specifically, the first clamping assembly 31 also includes a first connecting plate 311 and at least two second driving components 312; the first connecting plate 311 is connected to the supporting assembly 20; the at least two second driving components 312 are respectively arranged on the first connecting plate 311 in one-to-one correspondence with at least two first clamping parts 310, and each first clamping part 310 is connected to the driving end of the corresponding second driving component 312 to drive the at least two first clamping parts 310 to move to contact the heat exchanger. The second driving component 312 is a cylinder or the like. In this way, each first clamping part 310 can adjust its position independently as needed to achieve multi-point contact and clamping of the surface of the heat exchanger. This independent control mechanism can more accurately adapt to heat exchangers of different shapes and sizes, and enhance the stability and safety of clamping. Furthermore, the second driving component 312 can directly connect to and drive the first clamping portion 310, which can more directly and accurately control the clamping force, helping to avoid damage caused by excessive clamping force or unstable clamping caused by too little clamping force, thereby ensuring that the heat exchanger is intact during the transfer process.

[0036] Specifically, the second clamping assembly 32 also includes a second connecting plate 321 and at least one third driving component 322; the second connecting plate 321 is connected to the supporting assembly 20; at least one third driving component 322 is arranged on the second connecting plate 321, and at least one second clamping portion 320 is correspondingly connected to the driving end of at least one third driving component 322 to drive at least one second clamping portion 320 to move to contact with the heat exchanger; wherein, a bearing column 323 is provided on the second connecting plate 321. The third driving component 322 is a cylinder or the like. In this way, independent and precise control of the clamping force can be achieved, which helps to ensure the stability of the heat exchanger during the clamping process and avoid damage or slipping caused by excessive clamping or insufficient clamping force. Through the independent adjustment of the third driving component 322, the second clamping assembly 32 can adapt to heat exchangers of various shapes and sizes, improve the versatility of the transfer device and the adaptability of the production line, and reduce the need to replace equipment or adjust the layout of the production line. Among them, by setting the bearing column 323 on the second connecting plate 321, the second connecting plate 321 can be kept horizontal, and the spatial layout of the entire device can be optimized, making the design more compact, reducing the occupied space, and improving the layout efficiency of the production site.

[0037] In this embodiment, at least two first clamping parts 310 are provided with a first buffer 314 on one side facing the second clamping assembly 32, for contacting the heat exchanger. The first buffer 314 is made of elastic material. In this way, the impact force generated during the clamping process can be absorbed, and scratches or deformation on the surface of the heat exchanger caused by hard contact can be avoided, thereby ensuring the integrity of the heat exchanger during transportation, improving the appearance quality and performance of the product, and enhancing the reliability of clamping and the stability of the heat exchanger during the transfer process.

[0038] In this embodiment, at least one second clamping part 320 is provided with a second buffer 324 on one side facing the first clamping assembly 31 for contacting the heat exchanger. The second buffer 324 is made of elastic material. In this way, the second buffer 324 plays a buffering role when the second clamping part 320 contacts the heat exchanger, preventing hard contact from causing damage to the surface of the heat exchanger, such as scratches, dents, etc., which helps to keep the appearance quality and performance of the heat exchanger unaffected. At the same time, it can absorb the impact during the clamping process, so that the contact between the second clamping part 320 and the heat exchanger is more stable, improve the stability of the clamping process, avoid loose clamping caused by impact, and ensure the safety of the heat exchanger during the transfer process. At the same time, the second buffer 324 can adapt to the irregular shape of the heat exchanger surface. Even if there is a slight unevenness or foreign matter on the surface of the heat exchanger, the buffer can eliminate the uneven pressure at the contact point through its own deformation to ensure the clamping effect.

[0039] Specifically, the detection system includes a position sensor, a weight sensor and a control unit; the position sensor is arranged on the frame body 10 to monitor the position of the heat exchanger at the outlet of the spraying equipment in real time, so as to control the clamping structure 30 to move to a position close to the outlet of the spraying equipment to clamp the heat exchanger; the weight sensor is arranged on the clamping structure 30 to measure the weight of the heat exchanger in real time, so as to control the clamping force of the clamping structure 30; the control unit is respectively connected to the position sensor and the weight sensor, so as to respectively receive the data obtained by the position sensor and the weight sensor, so as to respectively control the movement and clamping force of the clamping structure 30.

[0040] Through the above settings, the position sensor can monitor the position of the heat exchanger at the outlet of the spraying equipment in real time, ensure that the clamping structure 30 is accurately aligned with the target, improve the clamping efficiency and accuracy, and avoid clamping failure or damage caused by position deviation. The weight sensor can measure the weight of the heat exchanger in real time, so that the clamping structure 30 can adjust its clamping force according to the actual weight of the heat exchanger, avoid the damage to the heat exchanger caused by excessive clamping force, and also ensure sufficient clamping force to move the heat exchanger steadily. The control unit dynamically adjusts the movement and clamping force of the clamping structure 30 according to the data of the position sensor and the weight sensor, realizes intelligent decision-making on the automated production line, improves the automation degree and production efficiency of the production process, reduces the dependence on operators, reduces the risk of human error, and also reduces the workload of operators and optimizes the working environment. Among them, the control unit has a data processing module, which can process and store the collected status information of the two air conditioners in real time for equipment maintenance and production data analysis, further improving the intelligent management level of the transfer device.

[0041] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

In this way, the clamping structure 30 can be precisely adjusted in the vertical direction, and the support assembly 20 can move in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the spraying equipment and the drying equipment can be precisely docked on different horizontal lines without relying on cranes or large forklifts, avoiding production quality problems caused by inaccurate positions, and thus solving the problem of low production efficiency caused by the difficulty in accurately docking the two air conditioners between the spraying equipment and the drying equipment in the prior art. In addition, the first clamping assembly 31 clamps the heat exchanger from one side through at least two first clamping parts 310, and acts oppositely to at least one second clamping part 320 of the second clamping assembly 32. This symmetrical clamping method can ensure that the heat exchanger is stable and firm during the transfer process, avoiding displacement or damage caused by single-point force. By adjusting the relative position of the first clamping part 310 and the second clamping part 320, accurate positioning and adaptive clamping of heat exchangers of different sizes can be achieved. At the same time, with the introduction of the detection system, real-time monitoring and control of the two air conditioners are realized, which not only improves the automation degree of the transfer process, but also improves the production efficiency and the intelligent level of equipment management through the data processing module, which is easy to operate and reduces manual intervention.
