[0002] The car air conditioning filter is a filter designed for car interior air purification. It is made of high-efficiency adsorption materials (such as activated carbon composite filter cloth composed of activated carbon and filament non-woven fabric).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 10As shown, the present invention provides an automatic assembly device for automobile filters, which assembles the filter element of the filter into the housing 100, including a conveying device 1, a filter element removal device 2, a station conversion device 3 and a gasket installation assembly 4. The conveying device 1 is used to convey the filter element of the filter. The conveying device 1 is the starting part of the entire assembly line and is responsible for conveying the filter element to be assembled from the storage or the previous process to the vicinity of the filter element removal device 2. The conveying device 1 can adopt a conveyor belt, a roller or other automatic conveying mechanism, driven by a motor, to convey the filter element to a specified position at a predetermined speed and path. The filter element removal device 2 is arranged between the conveying device 1 and the station conversion device 3. The station conversion device 3 is used to fix the housing 100. The filter element removal device 2 transfers the filter element of the filter on the conveying device 1 to the housing 100 and presses the filter element into the housing 100. The filter element removal device 2 includes a clamping assembly 24 for clamping the filter element. The clamping assembly 24 includes four synchronously moving clamping plates 241. The clamping plates 241 clamp the four sides of the filter element. Each clamping plate 241 is provided with a guide assembly 242 for guiding the filter element into the housing 100. The four clamping plates 241 can clamp the four sides of the filter element at the same time. When the filter element is clamped, the filter element removal device 2 will move to the upper part of the housing 100, and then accurately guide the filter element and press it into the housing 100 through the guide assembly 242. .

[0032] refer to Figure 7-10As shown, the guide assembly 242 includes a guide plate 2421 slidably disposed in the clamping plate 241. The main function of the guide plate 2421 is to ensure that the filter element can accurately enter the interior of the housing 100 to avoid damage to the filter element during the assembly process. The bottom end of the guide plate 2421 can be inserted into the housing 100, and the guide assembly 242 also includes a synchronous drive mechanism that drives the guide plate 2421 to be inserted into the housing 100. The synchronous drive mechanism is responsible for driving the guide plate 2421 to move accurately so that it can be smoothly inserted into the housing 100. The design of the synchronous drive mechanism ensures the stability and accuracy of the guide plate 2421 during movement. The synchronous drive mechanism includes two support blocks 2425 mounted on the clamping plate 241, a slide groove is vertically provided on the clamping plate 241, a first rotating driving member 2422 is fixed on the support block 2425, a first lead screw 2423 is rotatably arranged between the two support blocks 2425, an output end of the first rotating driving member 2422 is fixedly connected to the first lead screw 2423, and the first rotating driving member 2422 is a power source, usually a motor or pneumatic device or other rotatable component, responsible for providing rotational power. The output end of the first rotating driving member 2422 is fixedly connected to the first lead screw 2423, and the first lead screw 2423 is driven by rotation to work. A connecting block 2424 is rotatably arranged on the first lead screw 2423, one end of which passes through the slide groove and is fixed on the guide plate 2421. When the first rotating driving member 2422 is started, the first rotating driving member 2422 drives the first lead screw 2423 to rotate. Since the connecting block 2424 is arranged on the lead screw, and one end of the connecting block 2424 is fixed on the guide plate 2421, the rotation of the first lead screw 2423 drives the connecting block 2424 to move linearly, thereby driving the guide plate 2421 to move precisely. When the bottom end of the guide plate 2421 is inserted into the housing 100, the guide plate 2421 plays a guiding role, ensuring that the filter element can accurately enter the interior of the housing 100. This design not only improves the assembly accuracy and efficiency, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the filter during the assembly process.

[0033] The guide assembly 242 integrates a guide plate 2421 that can move up and down. Before the filter element is press-fitted, the first rotary drive member 2422 drives the first lead screw 2423 to rotate, and the guide plate 2421 is accurately moved down to the inside of the housing 100 through the movement of the connecting block 2424. When the filter element needs to be press-fitted, the guide plate 2421 plays a precise guiding role, ensuring that the filter element smoothly enters the housing 100 and the edge of the filter element can be completely pressed into the housing 100.

[0034] refer to Figure 2-9As shown, the filter element removal device 2 includes a support member 23 that moves up and down, a clamping assembly 24 includes an adjustment assembly 243 for driving a clamping plate 241 to move synchronously, the adjustment assembly 243 includes a connecting sleeve 2434, and the clamping assembly 24 includes a second rotating driving member 2431 fixed in the support member 23, the output end of the second rotating driving member 2431 is connected to a second lead screw 2432, the bottom end of the second lead screw 2432 is movably connected to the connecting sleeve 2434, and the second rotating driving member 2431 is the power source of the adjusting assembly 243, and the second rotating driving member 2431 is usually a motor or a pneumatic device or other rotatable components. When the second rotating driving member 2431 is started, it drives the second lead screw 2432 to rotate. The second lead screw 2432 is connected with a threaded sleeve 2433 through a thread, and a third connecting rod 2437 is movably provided on the threaded sleeve 2433, one end of the third connecting rod 2437 is movably connected to the clamping plate 241, and the adjusting assembly 243 also includes a first connecting rod 2435, one end of the first connecting rod 2435 is movably connected to the connecting sleeve 2434, and the other end of the first connecting rod 2435 is movably connected to the clamping plate 241, and a second connecting rod 2436 is movably provided at the center position of the first connecting rod 2435, and one end of the second connecting rod 2436 is movably connected to the clamping plate 241.

[0035] By starting the second rotary drive member 2431, the second lead screw 2432 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 2433 to move. The clamping plate 241 is then moved, so that the clamping plate 241 uniformly presses the four edges of the filter element toward the center of the filter element. This process effectively reduces the size of the filter element, creates favorable conditions for the filter element to be smoothly pressed into the housing 100, and significantly improves the press-fitting efficiency.

[0036] refer to Fig. 9 As shown, a telescopic driving member 244 is further provided inside the connecting sleeve 2434 , and an output end of the telescopic driving member 244 is connected to a push plate 2441 for pressing the filter element into the housing 100 .

[0037] The telescopic drive member 244 is usually a linear drive, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, and is responsible for providing a driving force for linear motion. When the telescopic drive member 244 is activated, the telescopic drive member 244 pushes the push plate 2441 to move linearly, so as to ensure that pressure can be applied evenly and the filter element can be smoothly pressed into the housing 100.

[0038] The filter element removal device 2 includes a rotating device 21 for driving the clamping assembly 24 to rotate, and a first lifting mechanism 22 for driving the clamping assembly 24 to move up and down is arranged on the rotating device 21. The rotating device 21 is one of the core components in the filter element removal device 2, and the main function of the rotating device 21 is to realize the rotational movement of the clamping assembly 24. This design enables the clamping assembly 24 to rotate freely in the horizontal plane, so that the filter element can be flexibly clamped from the conveying device 1 and rotated to the top of the housing 100 for assembly. The rotating device 21 may use components such as a motor, a reducer, and a transmission mechanism to achieve rotational movement, and an accurate control system is used to ensure the accuracy and stability of the rotation. The first lifting mechanism 22 is arranged on the rotating device 21, and is used to drive the clamping assembly 24 to move up and down. This design enables the clamping assembly 24 to move freely in the vertical direction. The first lifting mechanism 22 may use components such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod or a lead screw to achieve lifting movement, and an accurate control system is used to ensure the accuracy and stability of lifting.

[0039] refer to Figure 5-6 As shown, the station conversion device 3 includes a rotating disk 31, which can be rotated to switch the housing 100 to the next station. The station conversion device 3 also includes a dividing assembly 32 for driving the rotating disk 31 to rotate. The rotating disk 31 is the main part of the station conversion device 3. The rotating disk 31 carries the housing 100 and switches it to different stations through rotation. The design of the rotating disk 31 needs to take into account factors such as bearing capacity, rotation stability and positioning accuracy to ensure the safety and accuracy of the housing 100 during the conversion process. The rotating disk 31 is also provided with several groups of positioning assemblies 33 for fixing the housing 100. The dividing assembly 32 includes a groove wheel 323 coaxially connected to the rotating disk 31, and the dividing assembly 32 also includes a third rotating drive member 321. The output end of the third rotating drive member 321 is fixed with a dial 322, and the dial 322 is connected to the groove wheel 323 in a transmission manner.

[0040] When the third rotary drive member 321 is started, it drives the dial 322 to rotate. The dial 322 drives the groove wheel 323 to rotate intermittently through a transmission connection. Each rotation of the groove wheel 323 causes the rotating disk 31 to rotate a certain angle, thereby switching the housing 100 to the next station. During the rotation process, the positioning assembly 33 maintains the stability and accuracy of the housing 100 to prevent it from deflecting or falling off. When the rotating disk 31 rotates to a predetermined station, the indexing assembly 32 stops working, and subsequent assembly work can be carried out at this time.

[0041] refer to Figure 3As shown, the washer installation assembly 4 includes a support plate 41, and a second lifting mechanism 42 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the support plate 41. A plurality of support rods 44 for guiding the washers are arranged on the support plate 41. A lifting plate 43 that moves up and down is slidably arranged on the support rods 44. The second lifting mechanism 42 is used to drive the lifting plate 43 to move up and down. The washer installation assembly 4 also includes a moving mechanism 45 and a third lifting mechanism 46. The moving mechanism 45 is used to drive the third lifting mechanism 46 to move back and forth. The moving mechanism 45 is arranged on the top of the second lifting mechanism 42, and a washer picking assembly 47 that moves up and down is also arranged on the third lifting mechanism 46. The washer picking assembly 47 includes a support plate 471, which is fixed at the output end of the third lifting mechanism 46, and four grooves are also provided on the support plate 471. A slide 4712 is slidably provided on the support plate 471, and a support ring rod 4711 is fixed to the bottom of the slide 4712. The support ring rod 4711 passes through the groove on the support plate 471 and extends to the bottom of the support plate 471. The washer picking assembly 47 also includes a fourth rotating driving member 4713 fixed on the support plate 471, and the output end of the fourth rotating driving member 4713 is connected to a transmission disk 4714, and a transmission rod 4715 corresponding to the slide 4712 is movably provided on the transmission disk 4714, and the transmission rod 4715 is movably connected to the slide 4712.

[0042] When the gasket needs to be installed, the third lifting mechanism 46 drives the gasket taking assembly 47 to descend to the gasket storage position. Driven by the transmission rod 4715 and the transmission disk 4714, the slide 4712 moves to the top of the gasket. The support rod 4711 descends and spreads the gasket. The third lifting mechanism 46 drives the gasket taking assembly 47 to rise to a certain height, and then the moving mechanism 45 drives the gasket taking assembly 47 to move to the installation position of the filter. The second lifting mechanism 42 drives the lifting disk 43 to rise to, lift the gasket a distance, and prepare for the next gasket removal. Driven by the transmission rod 4715 and the transmission disk 4714, the gasket taking assembly 47 accurately places the gasket at the specified position of the filter.

[0043] Working principle: During use, the filter element is first accurately transported to the loading position through the conveying device 1. Subsequently, the first lifting mechanism 22 is started to drive the support member 23 and the clamping assembly 24 to move downward as a whole. At this time, the second rotating drive member 2431 in the clamping assembly 24 is activated, driving the second lead screw 2432 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 2433 to move. This movement is converted into the movement of the clamping plate 241 through the third connecting rod 2437, so that the clamping plate 241 squeezes the four sides of the filter element evenly toward the center of the filter element, thereby reducing the size of the filter element and facilitating subsequent press-fitting operations. After completing the pre-compression of the filter element, the first lifting mechanism 22 is started again to drive the clamping assembly 24 to move upward. Subsequently, the rotating device 21 is started to drive the first lifting mechanism 22 and the clamped filter element to rotate as a whole until the filter element is transferred to the top of the housing 100 to be pressed. At this time, the first rotary drive member 2422 is activated, driving the first lead screw 2423 to rotate, so that the connecting block 2424 drives the guide plate 2421 to be accurately inserted into the housing 100. Then, the telescopic drive member 244 is started, driving the push plate 2441 to move downward, and the filter element is smoothly pressed into the housing 100. After the press-fitting is completed, the third rotary drive member 321 is started, driving the dial 322 to rotate, and then through the groove wheel 323, the rotating disk 31 is rotated, and the press-fitted filter is transferred to the next process. At the same time, the third lifting mechanism 46 is started, driving the gasket material taking assembly 47 to move downward, so that the support ring rod 4711 is accurately inserted into the gasket. Subsequently, the fourth rotary drive member 4713 is started, driving the transmission disk 4714 to rotate, and driving the slide 4712 to move through the transmission rod 4715, so that the support ring rod 4711 opens the gasket. The expanded gasket is lifted to a proper position by the third lifting mechanism 46, and then driven to move by the moving mechanism 45, so that the gasket is sleeved on the outside of the filter element, and the installation of the gasket is completed. Finally, the rotating disk 31 rotates again, and the filter and the installed gasket are transferred as a whole to the next process, completing the automatic assembly process of the entire filter.

It should be pointed out that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
