[0023] Beneficial effect: When the actual value of the assembly torque current is less than the preset value of the assembly torque current, it means that the crossflow fan blades are not assembled in place. At this time, the robot will continue to assemble the crossflow fan blades until the crossflow fan blades are assembled in place. When the actual value of the assembly torque current is greater than the preset value of the assembly torque current, it means that the crossflow fan blades are misassembled. At this time, the robot stops assembling the crossflow fan blades, reducing the crossflow fan blade assembly misalignment and damaging the bearings or inserting the bearings.
[0024] In an optional implementation, after determining that the crossflow fan blades are not assembled in place, the method further includes: triggering an alarm message indicating that the crossflow fan blades are not assembled in place or are assembled in a wrong position, and controlling the robot to standby.
[0025] Beneficial effect: Prompts alarm information of incomplete assembly instead of direct shutdown, reduces the frequency of robot reset and start operation, and increases the production efficiency of the robot. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The cooperation of the guide servo shaft 12 and the clamp servo shaft 13 can improve the working efficiency of the fan blade conveyor line 10.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a rubber plug pulling telescopic cylinder 14 and a rubber plug pulling clamping cylinder 15 are provided at the end point of the fan blade conveying line 10. The rubber plug pulling telescopic cylinder 14 is used to extend and retract to the position of the rubber plug of the crossflow fan blade 40, and the rubber plug pulling clamping cylinder 15 is used to pull the rubber plug out of the crossflow fan blade 40.
[0049] In this embodiment, a rubber plug pulling telescopic cylinder 14 and a rubber plug pulling clamping cylinder 15 are also provided at the end point of the fan blade conveying line 10. The rubber plug pulling telescopic cylinder 14 is used to extend and retract to the position of pulling out the rubber plug of the crossflow fan blade 40; the rubber plug pulling clamping cylinder 15 is used to pull the rubber plug out of the crossflow fan blade 40.
[0050] Through the cooperation of the rubber plug pulling telescopic cylinder 14 and the rubber plug pulling clamping cylinder 15 , preparations can be made in advance for the automatic assembly of the crossflow fan blades 40 , and the robot 30 can assemble the crossflow fan blades 40 with the rubber plugs pulled out to the air conditioning housing 50 .
[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the air-conditioning housing 50 includes a front bottom shell and a rear bottom shell, and the air-conditioning housing conveyor line 20 is provided with a second photoelectric detection sensor for detecting whether the front bottom shell and the rear bottom shell are in place, and the second photoelectric detection sensor is used to detect a second detection signal whether the front bottom shell and the rear bottom shell are in place.
[0052] In the above embodiment, the second photoelectric detection sensor includes a front photoelectric detection sensor 21 and a rear photoelectric detection sensor 22. The air-conditioning housing conveyor line 20 is used to convey the air-conditioning housing 50. The air-conditioning housing 50 includes a front bottom shell and a rear bottom shell. The air-conditioning housing conveyor line 20 is provided with a front photoelectric detection sensor 21 and a rear photoelectric detection sensor 22 for detecting whether the front bottom shell and the rear bottom shell of the air-conditioning housing 50 are conveyed to the designated position of the air-conditioning housing conveyor line 20.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the air conditioning shell conveyor line 20 is provided with a front pressing cylinder 23 and a rear pressing cylinder 24, the front pressing cylinder 23 is used to separate the front bottom shell from the rear bottom shell, and the rear pressing cylinder 24 is used to fix the rear bottom shell.
[0054] In this embodiment, the air-conditioning shell conveyor line 20 is provided with a front pressing cylinder 23 and a rear pressing cylinder 24: the front pressing cylinder 23 is used to separate the front bottom shell from the rear bottom shell of the air-conditioning shell 50. When the current photoelectric detection sensor 21 and the rear photoelectric detection sensor 22 detect the signal of the front bottom shell and the signal of the rear bottom shell respectively, the front pressing cylinder 23 will extend to press the front bottom shell, and the rear pressing cylinder 24 will extend to fix the rear bottom shell, thereby ensuring the consistency of the assembly position of the robot 30.
[0055] The cooperation between the front pressing cylinder 23 and the rear pressing cylinder 24 can improve the assembly accuracy of the crossflow fan blades 40 and reduce the phenomenon of the crossflow fan blades 40 not being properly assembled or damaging the materials due to misaligned assembly.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the robot 30 is provided with a clamp and a clamp sensing cylinder, the clamp is used to grasp the crossflow fan blade 40, and the clamp sensing cylinder is used to detect whether the robot 30 drops material during the assembly and material picking process.
[0057] In this embodiment, the robot 30 is used to grasp and assemble the crossflow fan blades 40; the robot 30 is provided with a clamp sensing cylinder for detecting whether the robot 30 has any abnormal phenomenon such as material dropping during the assembly and material taking process.
[0058] Through the cooperation of the clamp and the clamp sensing cylinder, the purpose of automatically grabbing and assembling the crossflow blades 40 can be achieved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the crossflow blades 40 and reducing the phenomenon of the crossflow blades 40 falling during the assembly process.
[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the second aspect, a control method for an air-conditioning assembly line 100 is implemented by the assembly line 100 for air-conditioning of the first aspect of the present application, and the control method includes: obtaining a first detection signal at the fan blade conveyor line 10 and a second detection signal at the air-conditioning shell conveyor line 20; according to the first detection signal and the second detection signal being normal, controlling the robot 30 to grab the crossflow fan blade 40 and assemble the crossflow fan blade 40 to the air-conditioning shell 50; obtaining the assembly torque current of the robot 30, and confirming whether the crossflow fan blade 40 is assembled in place according to the assembly torque current.
[0060] In the above embodiment, the assembly line 100 and assembly method for air conditioners proposed in the present application use a PLC and a robot 30, and through the cooperation of the two, the automatic material input, automatic material removal, automatic assembly and torque translation of the crossflow fan blades 40 are completed.
[0061] Specifically, the assembly line 100 for air conditioners proposed in this application uses a network cable to connect the PLC and the robot 30, and uses a new socket communication protocol to transmit data between the two at high speed. The PLC is used as the master station, the robot 30 is used as the slave station, and the IP addresses of the two are changed to the same frequency band. Among them, the transmission data between the robot 30 and the PLC needs to be converted into digital data for easy data processing.
[0062] Specifically, when the crossflow fan blade 40 reaches the material-picking position, the PLC sends data 1 to the robot 30 as a signal that the robot 30 is not allowed to pick up the material; after receiving data 1, the robot 30 starts to move to the material-picking position to pick up the material, and after the robot 30 finishes picking up the material and returns to the safe position; the robot 30 sends data 2 to the PLC as a signal that the material-picking is completed; when the air-conditioning housing 50 is in place, the robot 30 sends data 3 to the PLC as a signal that the material is allowed to be discharged. After the robot 30 assembles the crossflow fan blade 40, it sends data 4 to the PLC as a signal that the material discharge is completed.
[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, obtaining the assembly torque current of the robot 30 and confirming whether the crossflow fan blade 40 is assembled in place based on the assembly torque current specifically includes: analyzing the waveform change of the assembly torque current, and determining that the crossflow fan blade 40 is assembled in place based on the consistency of the waveform change with the preset change value.
[0064] In this embodiment, the servo system of the robot 30 is a three-loop control system, which is a current loop, a speed loop, and a position loop from the inside to the outside. Among them, the current loop controls the motor torque, so when the robot 30 assembles the crossflow fan blade 40, in order not to damage the beads in the bearing, it is necessary to detect the torque of the servo motor of the robot 30 at this moment, and the final detection value is still the parameter change of the current loop.
[0065] According to the current loop feedback during assembly, the waveform changes of the current loop feedback are analyzed. As long as the waveform is different from the preset value, it is determined that the assembly is in place. The robot 30 directly discharges the material and feeds back a discharge completion signal. However, it will prompt an alarm message that the assembly is not in place instead of shutting down directly. This reduces the frequency of resetting and starting the robot 30 and increases the production efficiency of the robot 30.
[0066] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the assembly torque current of the robot 30 is obtained, and whether the crossflow fan blade 40 is assembled in place is confirmed based on the assembly torque current, specifically including: analyzing the waveform change of the assembly torque current, and determining that the crossflow fan blade 40 is not assembled in place or is misassembled based on the inconsistency between the waveform change and the preset change value.
[0067] In the present embodiment, when the actual value of the assembly torque current is less than the preset value of the assembly torque current, it means that the crossflow fan blades 40 are not assembled in place. At this time, the robot 30 will continue to assemble the crossflow fan blades 40 until the crossflow fan blades 40 are assembled in place. When the actual value of the assembly torque current is greater than the preset value of the assembly torque current, it means that the crossflow fan blades 40 are misassembled. At this time, the robot 30 stops assembling the crossflow fan blades 40 to reduce the crossflow fan blades 40 from being misassembled and damaging the bearings or inserting the bearings.
[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, after determining that the crossflow fan blades 40 are not assembled in place, the method further includes: triggering an alarm message indicating that the crossflow fan blades 40 are not assembled in place, and controlling the robot 30 to standby.
[0069] In this embodiment, an alarm message indicating that the robot 30 is not assembled in place is displayed instead of shutting down the robot 30 directly, thereby reducing the frequency of resetting and starting the robot 30 and increasing the production efficiency of the robot 30.
[0070] Although the embodiments of the present application are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the present application.
