Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a box sealing and flipping integrated clamping device and a packaging method for an indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] In the current air-conditioning manufacturing and logistics field, the handling and packaging of air-conditioning indoor units still rely heavily on manpower. This traditional operation method has many shortcomings: first, manual handling of air-conditioning indoor units is inefficient, especially in large-scale production processes, the speed of manual operation cannot meet the rapid turnover requirements of the production line, resulting in limited production; second, due to the cumbersome process, manual operation is prone to errors, which not only increases the uncertainty in the production process, but also may cause damage to the air-conditioning products themselves, thereby increasing production costs; in addition, in the transfer link between the two assembly lines, manual handling and flipping of air-conditioning indoor units are more dangerous. Workers need to frequently carry and flip heavy objects, which not only poses a challenge to the workers' physical strength, but also increases the risk of work-related accidents.

[0003] Furthermore, during the packaging process of the air conditioner indoor unit, the indoor unit is received with the bottom facing upwards; after the indoor unit is placed in the packaging box, the top of the packaging box needs to be sealed, and the entire packaging box and the indoor unit need to be turned over so that the indoor unit becomes front-facing for the next step of operation. Manually turning over the packaging box increases the difficulty of production, reduces production efficiency, and increases production costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing manual handling and packaging operation methods of the air-conditioning indoor unit to overcome the defects of the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide an integrated clamping device for sealing and flipping, which can realize automatic handling, sealing and flipping operations during the packaging of air-conditioning indoor units, greatly improving the degree of automation in indoor unit production, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0006] A box sealing and flipping integrated clamping device, comprising a bracket, on which a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw facing each other are arranged, a clamping position is formed between the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw, and a first driving system for driving the first clamping jaw and / or the second clamping jaw to move is also arranged on the bracket;

[0007] A box sealing mechanism, the box sealing mechanism comprising a first box sealing structure and a second box sealing structure, the first box sealing structure is used to seal the box along the width direction of the clamping position, and the second box sealing structure is used to seal the box along the length direction of the clamping position;

[0008] The flipping mechanism comprises a first turntable pivoted on the first clamping jaw and a second turntable pivoted on the second clamping jaw, wherein the first turntable and the second turntable are arranged opposite to each other; the flipping mechanism also comprises a second driving system for driving the first turntable and / or the second turntable to rotate.

[0009] Specifically, the first driving system may be a cylinder or motor driving system, and through the control of the first driving system, the two clamping jaws can open and close with each other, and stably clamp and move the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0010] The first sealing structure is arranged at one side of the clamping position, and is used to seal the box along the width direction of the clamping position, that is, to close the two sides of the packaging box. The second sealing structure is arranged at the other end of the clamping position, and is used to seal the box along the length direction of the clamping position, that is, to close the front and rear ends of the packaging box. In this way, through the coordinated work of the first sealing structure and the second sealing structure, the air conditioner indoor unit packaging can be fully sealed.

[0011] The second driving system may be a motor or a pneumatic motor. The second driving system can be used to drive the indoor unit of the air conditioner to turn over 180 degrees in the clamping position.

[0012] In the actual working process, the clamping device first drives the clamping claw to move to the position of the air conditioner indoor unit through the first driving system, and then the clamping claw closes to firmly clamp the air conditioner indoor unit. Then, the sealing mechanism starts to work, and the first sealing structure and the second sealing structure seal the packaging box in turn. After the sealing is completed, the flipping mechanism starts to work, and the turntable is driven to rotate through the second driving system, thereby driving the air conditioner indoor unit to flip 180 degrees in the clamping position. Finally, the clamping claw releases and puts down the flipped air conditioner indoor unit, completing the entire handling, sealing and flipping operations.

[0013] The integrated clamping device for sealing and flipping greatly reduces the manual operation links and improves the automation level of the entire production line through automated handling, sealing and flipping operations. This not only speeds up production, but also reduces production delays caused by improper manual operation. Moreover, automated operation reduces labor costs. At the same time, since the device can accurately control the process of handling, sealing and flipping, it reduces material damage and waste caused by improper operation, thereby reducing production costs. Automated operation reduces direct contact between humans and machines and reduces the risk of industrial accidents.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first box sealing structure comprises two first box sealing members arranged opposite to each other, and the two first box sealing members are both arranged in the clamping position;

[0015] Each of the first sealing members comprises a sealing rod and a transmission rod which are parallel to each other, wherein the sealing rod is fixed to one side of the transmission rod through a connecting arm, and the transmission rod is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the bracket, and the sealing rods of the two first sealing members are parallel to each other;

[0016] The bracket is also provided with a box sealing drive system, which drives the transmission rod to rotate, so that the transmission rod drives the two box sealing rods to move closer to or farther away from each other along the width direction of the clamping position.

[0017] The sealing drive system can drive the transmission rod to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as needed, thereby driving the two sealing rods to move closer or farther away from each other along the width direction of the clamping position. This driving method is not only flexible and reliable, but can also automatically adjust according to the size and shape of the packaging box, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the sealing.

[0018] In actual operation, when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is clamped in the clamping position, the sealing drive system starts to work and drives the transmission rod to rotate. As the transmission rod rotates, the two sealing rods gradually approach each other, so that the sealing rods press the two long sides of the packaging box together, thus completing the sealing operation of the long sides. After the long side is sealed, the sealing drive system works again, driving the transmission rod to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the two sealing rods move away from each other, preparing for the next sealing operation.

[0019] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two first mounting frames are provided on the bracket, and the two first mounting frames are arranged along the length direction of the bracket. Each of the first mounting frames is provided with a bearing, and the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame through the bearing.

[0020] The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame via a bearing. Such a design not only enables the transmission rod to rotate flexibly, but also enhances the stability and durability of the entire box sealing structure.

[0021] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the box sealing drive system includes a second mounting frame, a box sealing cylinder, a first gear and a second gear, wherein the first gear and the second gear are respectively fixed on the transmission rods of the two first box sealing members, and the first gear and the second gear are meshed with each other;

[0022] The second mounting frame is fixed on the bracket, and the sealing cylinder is fixed on the second mounting frame; a connecting piece is provided at one end of any one of the transmission rods, and one end of the piston rod of the sealing cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting piece.

[0023] The first gear and the second gear are respectively firmly fixed on the transmission rods of the two first sealing members, and the two gears mesh with each other to form a stable transmission relationship. When one of the gears rotates, the other gear will also rotate, thereby driving the two transmission rods to rotate synchronously.

[0024] When the sealing cylinder starts working, its piston rod pushes the connecting piece to move, thereby driving the transmission rod to rotate. Due to the meshing of the first gear and the second gear, the two transmission rods rotate simultaneously and in the same direction, thereby driving the sealing rods to move closer to or farther from each other along the width direction of the clamping position, completing the sealing operation.

[0025] Through the design of the carton sealing drive system of the present application, the present application can synchronously drive two transmission rods to rotate synchronously through a carton sealing cylinder, thereby achieving stable operation of the first carton sealing component and saving the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0026] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two second box sealing structures are provided, and the two box sealing structures are respectively provided on two first clamping jaws and two second clamping jaws;

[0027] Each of the second box sealing structures includes a push rod driving member and a push cover plate, the push rod driving member is fixed on the first clamping jaw or the second clamping jaw, the push cover plate is arranged in the clamping position, the push cover plate is fixed at the output end of the push rod driving member, and the push rod driving member drives the push cover plate to move along the length direction of the clamping position.

[0028] The push rod driving member is fixed on the first clamping jaw or the second clamping jaw as a power source for pushing the push cover plate to move. The push cover plate corresponds to the part to be sealed (short side) of the packaging box. When the box sealing operation is required, the push rod driving member will receive the command from the control system and start immediately. Driven by the push rod driving member, the push cover plate will move along the length direction of the clamping position, gradually approaching and tightly fitting on the part to be sealed (short side) of the packaging box. Through the pressing action of the push cover plate, the opening of the packaging box is firmly closed, thereby completing the sealing task of the second box sealing structure.

[0029] Since the second sealing structure is arranged on the two clamping claws, when the clamping claws clamp the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the two second sealing structures can simultaneously seal the front and rear ends of the packaging box. This design not only improves the sealing efficiency, but also ensures the consistency and accuracy of the sealing.

[0030] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two push cover plates are provided on each of the second box sealing structures, the two push cover plates are parallel to each other, a connecting plate is provided between the two push cover plates, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the push rod driving member;

[0031] The push cover plate is provided with a push cover edge, and the push cover edge is arranged in an arc shape.

[0032] The two push cover plates are parallel to each other. This design not only improves the structural strength of the push cover plates, but also distributes the pressure more evenly, ensuring that the packaging box will not be damaged during the sealing process.

[0033] The edge of the push cover is designed to be arc-shaped, which not only better fits the contour of the packaging box, but also enables the push cover plate to fit more smoothly on the packaging box when it moves, avoiding damage caused by friction or collision.

[0034] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a shaping structure is further provided on the first clamp and the second clamp, and the shaping structure includes a shaping cylinder and a shaping plate. The shaping cylinder is fixed on the first clamp or the second clamp, and the shaping plate is arranged in the clamping position, and the output end of the shaping cylinder is fixedly connected to the shaping plate.

[0035] The shaping structure is used to shape the packaging box after sealing. Specifically, the shaping cylinder can drive the shaping plate to move. After the second sealing structure seals the indoor unit packaging box, the shaping cylinder drives the shaping plate to move so that the shaping plate is pressed against the short side of the sealed packaging box, thereby achieving the shaping of the packaging box. This allows the packaging box to maintain the sealed state even after the push cover plate of the second sealing structure leaves.

[0036] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first driving system includes a first driving member, a guide rail and a slider; the guide rail is fixed on the bracket, and the slider is fixed on the guide rail;

[0037] The first clamping jaw is fixed to one end of the bracket; the second clamping jaw is fixed to the slider;

[0038] The first driving member is fixed on the bracket, and an output end of the first driving member is fixedly connected to the sliding block.

[0039] When the first driving member is started, power is transmitted to the slider through the output end, driving the slider to move along the guide rail. Since the second clamp is fixed on the slider, the second clamp will move accordingly with the movement of the slider, thereby clamping or releasing the air conditioner indoor unit packaging box.

[0040] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the second driving system includes a rotating cylinder, which is fixed on the first clamp, and the first turntable is fixed on the output end of the rotating cylinder; the second turntable is arranged on the second clamp, and a bearing is arranged between the second turntable and the second clamp.

[0041] The rotary cylinder provides a power source for the rotation of the first rotary disk. With the start and stop of the rotary cylinder, the first rotary disk can perform a precise rotary motion.

[0042] The second rotating disk is arranged on the second clamping jaw, and is flexibly and stably connected to the second clamping jaw through a bearing. This design ensures that the second rotating disk can rotate smoothly and reduces friction and wear during the rotation process.

[0043] In actual use, the first turntable and the second turntable clamp the two sides of the packaging box, and then the rotary cylinder is started to drive the first turntable to rotate. The first turntable drives the packaging box to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the packaging box, so that the packaging box can be flipped from the original bottom-up state to the top-up state.

[0044] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a positioning cylinder is provided on the first clamping jaw, and a avoidance opening is opened on the first clamping jaw, and the avoidance opening is opposite to the output end of the positioning cylinder;

[0045] The first rotating disk is provided with a positioning hole, and the output end of the positioning cylinder is provided with a positioning head.

[0046] When the first turntable rotates to a specific position, the positioning hole will be aligned with the output end of the positioning cylinder. At this time, the positioning cylinder will extend, and the positioning head at its output end will be inserted into the positioning hole, thereby achieving precise positioning and fixation between the first turntable and the first clamping jaw.

[0047] A second object of the present invention is to provide a packaging method for an indoor unit, which method is implemented based on the above-mentioned integrated box sealing and flipping clamping device.

[0048] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0049] The present invention provides a box sealing and flipping integrated clamping device, which comprises a bracket, a box sealing mechanism and a flipping mechanism. The bracket is provided with a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw opposite to each other, a clamping position is formed between the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw, and a first driving system driving the first clamping jaw and / or the second clamping jaw to move is also provided on the bracket. The first driving system drives the clamping jaw to move to change the size of the clamping position so that the clamping jaw can stably clamp and move the air conditioner indoor unit. The box sealing mechanism comprises a first box sealing structure and a second box sealing structure, the first box sealing structure is used to seal the box along the width direction of the clamping position, that is, to close the two sides of the packaging box; the second box sealing structure is used to seal the box along the length direction of the clamping position, that is, to close the front and rear ends of the packaging box; through the coordinated work of the first box sealing structure and the second box sealing structure, the all-round sealing of the packaging box of the air conditioner indoor unit can be achieved. The flipping mechanism comprises a first turntable pivoted on the first clamping jaw and a second turntable pivoted on the second clamping jaw, and the first turntable and the second turntable are arranged oppositely; the flipping mechanism also comprises a second driving system driving the first turntable and / or the second turntable to rotate. The air conditioner indoor unit can be turned to the required angle in the clamping position by the drive of the second drive system. In the actual working process, the clamping device first moves to the position of the air conditioner indoor unit, and then the two clamps are closed to clamp the air conditioner indoor unit firmly. Then, the sealing mechanism starts to work, and the first sealing structure and the second sealing structure seal the packaging box in turn. After the sealing is completed, the flipping mechanism starts to work, and the turntable is driven to rotate by the second drive system, thereby driving the air conditioner indoor unit to flip to a preset angle in the clamping position. Finally, the clamp is released, and the flipped air conditioner indoor unit is put down to complete the entire handling, sealing and flipping operations. The clamping device greatly reduces the manual operation links and improves the automation degree of the entire production line through automated handling, sealing and flipping operations. This not only speeds up the production speed, but also reduces the production delays caused by improper manual operation. Since the device can accurately control the process of handling, sealing and flipping, it reduces the material damage and waste caused by improper operation, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0062] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0063] In the current air-conditioning manufacturing and logistics field, the handling and packaging of air-conditioning indoor units still rely heavily on manpower. This traditional operation method is inefficient, prone to errors and increases the risk of work-related accidents.

[0064] Furthermore, during the packaging process of the air conditioner indoor unit, the indoor unit is received with the bottom facing upwards; after the indoor unit is placed in the packaging box, the top of the packaging box needs to be sealed, and the entire packaging box and the indoor unit need to be turned over so that the indoor unit becomes front-facing for the next step of operation. Manually turning over the packaging box increases the difficulty of production, reduces production efficiency, and increases production costs.

[0065] Based on this, the present application provides an integrated clamping device for sealing and flipping a box.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the present embodiment provides a box sealing and flipping integrated clamping device, comprising a bracket 1, on which a first clamping jaw 100 and a second clamping jaw 200 are arranged opposite to each other, a clamping position 300 is formed between the first clamping jaw 100 and the second clamping jaw 200, and a first driving system for driving the first clamping jaw 100 and / or the second clamping jaw 200 to move is also arranged on the bracket 1;

[0068] A box sealing mechanism, the box sealing mechanism comprising a first box sealing structure 2 and a second box sealing structure 3, the first box sealing structure 2 being used for sealing along the width direction of the clamping position 300, and the second box sealing structure 3 being used for sealing along the length direction of the clamping position 300;

[0069] The flipping mechanism 4 includes a first turntable 41 pivoted on the first clamp 100 and a second turntable 42 pivoted on the second clamp 200, wherein the first turntable 41 and the second turntable 42 are arranged opposite to each other; the flipping mechanism 4 also includes a second driving system for driving the first turntable 41 and / or the second turntable 42 to rotate.

[0070] It should be noted that the first rotating disk 41 and the second rotating disk 42 are pivotally connected so that the first rotating disk 41 can rotate on the first clamping jaw 100 and the second rotating disk 42 can rotate on the second clamping jaw 200 .

[0071] Specifically, the first driving system may be a cylinder or motor driving system, and through the control of the first driving system, the two clamping jaws can open and close with each other, and stably clamp and move the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0072] The first sealing structure 2 is arranged at one side of the clamping position 300, and is used to seal the box along the width direction of the clamping position 300, that is, to close the two sides of the packaging box. The second sealing structure 3 is arranged at the other end of the clamping position 300, and is used to seal the box along the length direction of the clamping position 300, that is, to close the front and rear ends of the packaging box. In this way, through the coordinated work of the first sealing structure 2 and the second sealing structure 3, the air conditioner indoor unit packaging can be fully sealed.

[0073] It should be noted that, in specific use, the length of the clamping position 300 refers to the direction in which the first clamping jaw 100 and the second clamping jaw 200 move toward each other; the length of the clamping position 300 refers to the direction perpendicular to the length of the clamping position 300 in the same horizontal plane.

[0074] The second driving system may be a motor or a pneumatic motor. The second driving system may be used to drive the indoor unit of the air conditioner to flip 180 degrees within the clamping position 300.

[0075] In the actual working process, the clamping device first drives the clamping claw to move to the position of the air conditioner indoor unit through the first driving system, and then the clamping claw closes to firmly clamp the air conditioner indoor unit. Then, the sealing mechanism starts to work, and the first sealing structure 2 and the second sealing structure 3 seal the packaging box in turn. After the sealing is completed, the flipping mechanism 4 starts to work, and drives the turntable to rotate through the second driving system, thereby driving the air conditioner indoor unit to flip 180 degrees in the clamping position 300. Finally, the clamping claw is released, and the flipped air conditioner indoor unit is put down, completing the entire handling, sealing and flipping operations.

[0076] The integrated clamping device for sealing and flipping greatly reduces the manual operation links and improves the automation level of the entire production line through automated handling, sealing and flipping operations. This not only speeds up production, but also reduces production delays caused by improper manual operation. Moreover, automated operation reduces labor costs. At the same time, since the device can accurately control the process of handling, sealing and flipping, it reduces material damage and waste caused by improper operation, thereby reducing production costs. Automated operation reduces direct contact between humans and machines and reduces the risk of industrial accidents.

[0077] More specifically, the first driving system includes a first driving member 11, a guide rail 12 and a slider; the guide rail 12 is fixed on the bracket 1, and the slider is fixed on the guide rail 12;

[0078] The first clamping jaw 100 is fixed to one end of the bracket 1; the second clamping jaw 200 is fixed to the slider;

[0079] The first driving member 11 is fixed on the bracket 1 , and an output end of the first driving member 11 is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0080] When the first driving member 11 is started, power is transmitted to the slider through the output end, driving the slider to move along the guide rail 12. Since the second clamping jaw 200 is fixed on the slider, the second clamping jaw 200 will move accordingly as the slider moves, thereby clamping or releasing the air conditioner indoor unit packaging box.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] This embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1.

[0083] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sealing structure 2 includes two first sealing members arranged opposite to each other, and the two first sealing members are both arranged in the clamping position 300;

[0084] Each of the first sealing parts comprises a sealing rod 21 and a transmission rod 23 which are parallel to each other. The sealing rod 21 is fixed to one side of the transmission rod 23 via a connecting arm 22. The transmission rod 23 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the bracket 1. The sealing rods 21 of the two first sealing parts are parallel to each other.

[0085] The support 1 is also provided with a box sealing driving system, which drives the transmission rod 23 to rotate, so that the transmission rod 23 drives the two box sealing rods 21 to move closer to or away from each other along the width direction of the clamping position 300 .

[0086] The sealing drive system can drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as needed, thereby driving the two sealing rods 21 to move closer to or farther from each other along the width direction of the clamping position 300. This driving method is not only flexible and reliable, but can also be automatically adjusted according to the size and shape of the packaging box, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the sealing.

[0087] In actual operation, when the air conditioner indoor unit is clamped in the clamping position 300, the sealing drive system starts to work and drives the transmission rod 23 to rotate. As the transmission rod 23 rotates, the two sealing rods 21 gradually approach each other, so that the sealing rods 21 press the two long sides of the packaging box, thereby completing the sealing operation of the long sides. After the long side sealing is completed, the sealing drive system works again, driving the transmission rod 23 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the two sealing rods 21 move away from each other, and prepare for the next sealing operation.

[0088] In this embodiment, two first mounting frames 24 are provided on the bracket 1, and the two first mounting frames 24 are arranged along the length direction of the bracket 1. Each of the first mounting frames 24 is provided with a bearing 25, and the transmission rod 23 is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 24 through the bearing 25.

[0089] The transmission rod 23 is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 24 via the bearing 25. Such a design not only enables the transmission rod 23 to rotate flexibly, but also enhances the stability and durability of the entire box sealing structure.

[0090] More specifically, the box sealing drive system includes a second mounting frame 28, a box sealing cylinder 29, a first gear 26 and a second gear 27, wherein the first gear 26 and the second gear 27 are respectively fixed on the transmission rods 23 of the two first box sealing members, and the first gear 26 and the second gear 27 are meshed with each other;

[0091] The second mounting frame 28 is fixed on the bracket 1 , and the sealing cylinder 29 is fixed on the second mounting frame 28 ; a connecting piece 291 is provided at one end of any one of the transmission rods 23 , and one end of the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 29 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 291 .

[0092] The first gear 26 and the second gear 27 are respectively firmly fixed on the transmission rods 23 of the two first sealing parts, and the two gears mesh with each other to form a stable transmission relationship. When one of the gears rotates, the other gear will also rotate, thereby driving the two transmission rods 23 to rotate synchronously.

[0093] When the sealing cylinder 29 starts to work, its piston rod will push the connecting piece 291 to move, thereby driving the transmission rod 23 to rotate. It should be noted that the crank-connecting rod structure formed between the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 29 and the connecting piece 291 can drive the transmission rod 23 to rotate linearly around itself because of the movement of the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 29. The crank-connecting rod structure is a conventional prior art, so its specific shape is not described. Due to the meshing action of the first gear 26 and the second gear 27, the two transmission rods 23 will rotate simultaneously and in the same direction, thereby driving the sealing rods 21 to move closer to or away from each other along the width direction of the clamping position 300 to complete the sealing operation.

[0094] Through the design of the carton sealing drive system of the present application, the present application can synchronously drive the two transmission rods 23 to rotate synchronously through a carton sealing cylinder 29, thereby achieving stable operation of the first carton sealing component and saving the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0095] Example 3

[0096] This embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1.

[0097] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, two second sealing structures 3 are provided, and the two sealing structures are respectively provided on the two first clamping jaws 100 and the second clamping jaws 200;

[0098] Each of the second sealing structures 3 includes a push rod driving member 31 and a push cover plate 32. The push rod driving member 31 is fixed on the first clamp 100 or the second clamp 200. The push cover plate 32 is arranged in the clamping position 300. The push cover plate 32 is fixed at the output end of the push rod driving member 31. The push rod driving member 31 drives the push cover plate 32 to move along the length direction of the clamping position 300.

[0099] The push rod driving member 31 is fixed on the first clamping jaw 100 or the second clamping jaw 200, and serves as a power source for pushing the push cover plate 32 to move. The push cover plate 32 corresponds to the part to be sealed (short side) of the packaging box. When the box sealing operation is required, the push rod driving member 31 will receive an instruction from the control system and start immediately. Driven by the push rod driving member 31, the push cover plate 32 will move along the length direction of the clamping position 300, gradually approaching and tightly fitting on the part to be sealed (short side) of the packaging box. Through the pressing action of the push cover plate 32, the opening of the packaging box is firmly closed, thereby completing the box sealing task of the second box sealing structure 3.

[0100] Since the second sealing structure 3 is arranged on two clamping claws, when the clamping claws clamp the air conditioner indoor unit, the two second sealing structures 3 can simultaneously seal the front and rear ends of the packaging box. This design not only improves the sealing efficiency, but also ensures the consistency and accuracy of the sealing.

[0101] In this embodiment, two push cover plates 32 are provided on each of the second box sealing structures 3. The two push cover plates 32 are parallel to each other. A connecting plate 33 is provided between the two push cover plates 32. The connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the push rod driving member 31.

[0102] The push cover plate 32 is provided with a push cover edge, and the push cover edge is arranged in an arc shape.

[0103] The two push cover plates 32 are parallel to each other. Such a design not only improves the structural strength of the push cover plates 32, but also can distribute the pressure more evenly, ensuring that the packaging box will not be damaged during the box sealing process.

[0104] The push cover edge is designed to be arc-shaped, which not only better conforms to the contour of the packaging box, but also enables the push cover plate 32 to fit more smoothly on the packaging box when it moves, thereby avoiding damage caused by friction or collision.

[0105] Example 4

[0106] This embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1.

[0107] like Figure 1-Figure 9As shown, in the present embodiment, a shaping structure 5 is further provided on the first clamping jaw 100 and the second clamping jaw 200, and the shaping structure 5 includes a shaping cylinder 51 and a shaping plate 52, wherein the shaping cylinder 51 is fixed on the first clamping jaw 100 or the second clamping jaw 200, and the shaping plate 52 is arranged in the clamping position 300, and the output end of the shaping cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the shaping plate 52.

[0108] The shaping structure 5 is used to shape the packaging box after sealing. Specifically, the shaping cylinder 51 can drive the shaping plate to move. After the second sealing structure 3 seals the indoor unit packaging box, the shaping cylinder 51 drives the shaping plate to move, so that the shaping plate is pressed against the short side of the sealed packaging box, thereby achieving the shaping of the packaging box. This allows the packaging box to maintain the sealed state even after the push cover plate 32 of the second sealing structure 3 leaves.

[0109] Example 5

[0110] This embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1.

[0111] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the second driving system includes a rotating cylinder 411, the rotating cylinder 411 is fixed on the first clamp 100, and the first turntable 41 is fixed to the output end of the rotating cylinder 411; the second turntable 42 is arranged on the second clamp 200, and a bearing 25 is arranged between the second turntable 42 and the second clamp 200.

[0112] The rotating cylinder 411 provides a power source for the rotation of the first rotating disk 41 . As the rotating cylinder 411 starts and stops, the first rotating disk 41 can perform precise rotational motion.

[0113] The second rotating disk 42 is arranged on the second clamping jaw 200, and is flexibly and stably connected to the second clamping jaw 200 through the bearing 25. This design ensures that the second rotating disk 42 can rotate smoothly and reduces friction and wear during the rotation process.

[0114] In actual use, the first turntable 41 and the second turntable 42 clamp the two sides of the packaging box, and then the rotary cylinder 411 is started to drive the first turntable 41 to rotate. The first turntable 41 drives the packaging box to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the packaging box, so that the packaging box can be flipped from the original bottom-up state to the top-up state.

[0115] In this embodiment, a positioning cylinder 413 is disposed on the first clamping jaw 100, and a avoidance opening is opened on the first clamping jaw 100, and the avoidance opening is opposite to the output end of the positioning cylinder 413;

[0116] The first rotating disk 41 is provided with a positioning hole 412 , and the output end of the positioning cylinder 413 is provided with a positioning head 414 .

[0117] When the first rotating disk 41 rotates to a specific position, the positioning hole 412 will be aligned with the output end of the positioning cylinder 413. At this time, the positioning cylinder 413 will extend, and the positioning head 414 at its output end will be inserted into the positioning hole 412, thereby achieving accurate positioning and fixation between the first rotating disk 41 and the first clamping jaw 100.

[0118] Example 6

[0119] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a packaging method for an indoor unit, which is implemented based on the above-mentioned integrated clamping device for sealing and flipping.

[0120] The method comprises the following steps:

[0122] The first clamping jaw 100 and the second clamping jaw 200 are used to clamp the packaging box containing the indoor unit;

[0123] After the packaging box is clamped, the first sealing structure 2 is started to seal the long side of the packaging box;

[0124] After the long side is sealed, the second sealing structure 3 is started to seal the short side of the packaging box, so that;

[0125] After the long side box is sealed, the shaping structure is started so that the shaping plate 52 is pressed tightly against the packaging box;

[0126] The flipping mechanism 4 is started so that the flipping mechanism 4 drives the packaging box to flip at a preset angle, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, etc., to meet specific packaging or transportation requirements;

[0127] After the packaging box is turned over, place the packaging box containing the indoor unit at the target location.

[0128] This packaging method has a high degree of automation, reduces manual operations, and greatly improves packaging efficiency. It can also be applied to indoor unit packaging boxes of different sizes and shapes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.
