Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of positioning devices, and in particular to a condenser positioning device and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the production and processing of condensers, the assembly line usually uses a double-speed chain to transport and process materials. However, in the traditional double-speed chain working mode, condensers generally rely on manual handling and loading and unloading, which is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. In some automated production lines, although attempts have been made to use robotic arms to automatically transport condensers, the realization of automated handling still faces great challenges due to the positioning problem of the condenser on the double-speed chain.

[0003] At present, tooling boards usually have backrest rails to support the condenser in the assembly line. However, when the robot arm clamps the condenser, it often lacks an effective positioning device, which makes the condenser unable to be placed stably or shifted during transportation. In addition, the traditional design easily causes friction between the contact surface of the condenser and the tooling board, causing scratches or damage, affecting the quality and production efficiency of the condenser.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new device that can achieve precise positioning of the condenser on a tooling plate with a backrest railing and avoid scratches on the contact surface to ensure that the condenser can operate stably in an automated production line.

[0034] During the production process of the condenser 50, the assembly line 30 uses a double-speed chain transmission, but the traditional method relies on manual handling, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Some automated production lines use robotic arms to carry the condenser 50, but automated handling faces challenges due to inaccurate positioning. The tooling board 40 usually has a backrest railing 41 to support the condenser 50, but the lack of an effective positioning device causes the condenser 50 to be unstable during transportation. When the robotic arm is clamped, friction is easily generated, which may scratch or damage the condenser 50. The traditional design affects the production efficiency and quality of the condenser 50.

[0035] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a condenser positioning device that can accurately position the condenser 50 on a tooling plate 40 with a backrest rail 41 and avoid scratches on the contact surface, thereby ensuring that the condenser 50 can operate stably in an automated production line.

[0036] Specifically, a bidirectional positioning mechanism is adopted, including a forward positioning mechanism 10 and a backward positioning mechanism 20, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the assembly line 30, and the stable placement of the condenser 50 is ensured by precise positioning; the forward and backward positioning power components, the roller bracket and the roller are coordinated to achieve precise positioning of the condenser 50 on the assembly line 30 to prevent it from sliding or offsetting; the forward and backward positioning linear shafts 26 and bearings are configured to ensure that the condenser 50 can pass smoothly to avoid scratches on the contact surface caused by instability; the blocking mechanism 60 is designed with relatively arranged blockers, and the condenser 50 can be safely parked through the cooperation of the cylinder rod 62 and the roller 64 to prevent it from being affected by external forces; the flexible movement of the blocker is achieved through the assembly of the roller 64 and the connecting block 63, ensuring that the condenser 50 stays accurately at the specified position to avoid excessive friction. Through the above measures, the stable operation of the condenser 50 in the automated production line is ensured, the risk of damage and scratches is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved at the same time.

[0037] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] See also Figure 1 A condenser positioning device includes: a bidirectional positioning mechanism and a blocking mechanism 60; the blocking mechanism 60 is assembled on the assembly line 30, and the bidirectional positioning mechanism is located on the side of the assembly line 30.

[0039] Specifically, when the tooling plate 40 reaches the workstation formed by the blocking mechanism 60, the blocking mechanism 60 blocks the tooling plate 40, and the bidirectional positioning mechanism starts working to position the upper and lower positions of the condenser 50 placed on the tooling plate 40, so that a distance is formed between the condenser 50 and the railing 41 of the tooling plate 40, so that the robot can pick up the condenser 50.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The above-mentioned bidirectional positioning mechanism includes a forward positioning mechanism 10 and a backward positioning mechanism 20 , and the forward positioning mechanism 10 and the backward positioning mechanism 20 are respectively arranged on both sides of the assembly line 30 .

[0041] In this embodiment, when the tooling plate 40 carrying the condenser 50 moves along the assembly line 30 and reaches a predetermined position, the blocking mechanism 60 is first activated to stably fix the tooling plate 40 at the designated position.

[0042] The back-positioning mechanism 20 mounted on one side of the assembly line 30, usually located at the back of the condenser 50, starts to work. At the same time, the forward positioning mechanism 10 located on the other side of the assembly line 30 also starts to operate.

[0043] Through the simultaneous action of the above two positioning mechanisms, the condenser 50 is accurately positioned at its designed position, and a certain distance is left between it and the railing 41 of the tooling plate 40 to facilitate the subsequent operation of the robot.

[0044] Through the design of the bidirectional positioning mechanism, it is possible to ensure that the condenser 50 obtains a very high positioning accuracy on the assembly line 30. This not only improves the quality of the product, but also provides a reliable guarantee for subsequent automated operations. The use of rolling friction instead of traditional sliding friction significantly reduces the risk of damage to the surface of the condenser 50, especially the fin part. This is crucial to maintaining the appearance quality and performance of the product. This device can quickly and accurately complete the positioning process of the condenser 50, greatly improving the work efficiency of the entire production line. Due to the modular design, the positioning parameters can be adjusted according to different models of condensers 50, which has strong adaptability and flexibility. The use of standard parts for assembly reduces the maintenance cost and complexity of the equipment and extends its service life.

[0045] In summary, the bidirectional positioning mechanism effectively solves the positioning problem of the condenser 50 during the automated processing on the assembly line 30 through precise control and reasonable design, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned forward positioning mechanism 10 includes a forward positioning frame 11, a forward positioning power assembly, a forward positioning roller bracket 12 and a forward positioning roller 13. The forward positioning power assembly is assembled on the forward positioning frame 11, the reverse positioning roller bracket 22 is assembled on one side of the forward positioning power assembly, and the forward positioning roller 13 is connected to the forward positioning roller bracket 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, the forward positioning frame 11 serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire forward positioning mechanism 10, and provides space and location for installing other components. The forward positioning power assembly includes a forward positioning power source 14, a forward positioning auxiliary assembly, and a forward positioning floating joint 15. These components work together to provide the necessary movement ability and control for the roller. The forward positioning roller bracket 12 is used to fix and support the forward positioning roller 13, and realizes the movement of the roller by connecting to the forward positioning power assembly. The forward positioning roller 13 directly contacts and positions the key components of the condenser 50, and is usually wrapped with soft protective material to reduce damage to the workpiece surface.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned forward positioning power component includes a forward positioning power source 14, a forward positioning auxiliary component and a forward positioning floating joint 15. The forward positioning floating joint 15 is connected to the forward positioning power source 14; the forward positioning floating joint 15 is connected to the forward positioning roller bracket 12; the forward auxiliary component is connected to the forward positioning roller bracket 12, and the forward positioning power source 14 and the forward positioning auxiliary component are assembled on the forward positioning frame 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the positive positioning power source 14 provides the energy source required to drive the positive positioning roller 13, which can be an electric motor or a pneumatic device. The positive positioning auxiliary component includes a positive positioning linear shaft 16 and a positive positioning linear bearing 17. The linear shaft passes through the linear bearing and is connected to the roller bracket, so that the roller can move smoothly in a straight line, increasing the stability and accuracy of the system. The positive positioning floating joint 15 connects the power source and the roller bracket, allowing a certain flexibility, helping to absorb shock and vibration, and ensuring smooth operation.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned positive positioning auxiliary component includes a positive positioning linear shaft 16 and a positive positioning linear bearing 17. One end of the positive positioning linear shaft 16 passes through the positive positioning linear bearing 17 and is connected to the positive positioning roller bracket 12; the positive positioning linear bearing 17 is assembled on the positive positioning frame 11.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned positive positioning roller 13 is connected to the positive positioning roller bracket 12 through a locking nut 18.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned positive positioning linear bearing 17 is assembled on the positive positioning frame 11 through the positive positioning linear bearing seat 19.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The forward positioning frame 11 is provided with an inclined plate 111, the forward positioning power assembly is assembled on the inclined plate 111, and the inclined plate 111 is inclined in a direction away from the assembly line 30 from top to bottom.

[0054] The locking nut 18 is firmly connected to the roller bracket to ensure that it will not loosen or shift during operation. The positive linear bearing seat 19 is assembled on the positive positioning frame 11 to provide a stable guiding function. An inclined plate 111 with a specific angle is provided on the positive positioning frame 11, and the power assembly is installed on this inclined plate 111. The plate is inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the assembly line 30. This design is conducive to improving the angle and force control when the roller contacts the workpiece, and optimizing the positioning effect.

[0055] When the positive positioning mechanism 10 is started, the positive positioning power source 14 is activated, and the power is transmitted to the roller bracket through the positive positioning floating joint 15. Due to the presence of the linear shaft and the linear bearing, the roller bracket can move smoothly along the preset path. Finally, the positive positioning roller 13 contacts the workpiece and applies appropriate pressure to complete the precise positioning task.

[0056] This design not only improves the accuracy of workpiece positioning, but also reduces the possible damage to the workpiece surface, while improving the overall efficiency of the production line. In addition, the modular design makes maintenance easier and adapts to different production needs.

[0057] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The back positioning mechanism 20 includes a back positioning frame 21, a back positioning power assembly, a back positioning roller bracket 22 and a back positioning roller 23. The back positioning power assembly is assembled on the back positioning frame 21, the back positioning roller bracket 22 is assembled on one side of the back positioning power assembly, and the back positioning roller 23 is connected to the back positioning roller bracket 22.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rearward positioning frame 21 serves as the basic structure of the entire rearward positioning mechanism 20 and provides a position for fixing and supporting other components.

[0059] The back positioning power assembly includes a back positioning power source 24, a back positioning auxiliary assembly and a back positioning floating joint 25. These components work together to provide the necessary movement ability and control for the drum.

[0060] The back-positioning roller bracket 22 is used to support and fix the back-positioning roller 23, and realizes the movement of the roller by connecting with the back-positioning power assembly.

[0061] The back-facing positioning roller 23 directly contacts and positions the key part of the workpiece, and is usually wrapped with a soft protective material to reduce damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0062] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The back positioning power assembly includes a back positioning power source 24, a back positioning auxiliary assembly and a back positioning floating joint 25. The back positioning floating joint 25 is connected to the back positioning power source 24; the back positioning floating joint 25 is connected to the back positioning roller bracket 22; the back auxiliary assembly is connected to the back positioning roller bracket 22, and the back positioning power source 24 and the back positioning auxiliary assembly are assembled on the back positioning frame 21.

[0063] In this embodiment, the back positioning power source 24 provides the energy source required to drive the back positioning roller 23 , and may be an electric motor or a pneumatic device.

[0064] The back positioning auxiliary assembly includes a back positioning linear shaft 26 and a back positioning linear bearing 27. The linear shaft passes through the linear bearing and is connected to the roller bracket, so that the roller can move smoothly in a straight line, increasing the stability and accuracy of the system.

[0065] The rearwardly positioned floating joint 25 connects the power source and the drum support, allowing a certain flexibility, helping to absorb shock and vibration, and ensuring smooth operation.

[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The back positioning auxiliary component includes a back positioning linear shaft 26 and a back positioning linear bearing 27. One end of the back positioning linear shaft 26 passes through the back positioning linear bearing 27 and is connected to the back positioning roller bracket 22; the back positioning linear bearing 27 is assembled on the back positioning frame 21.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The above-mentioned back-positioning roller 23 is connected to the back-positioning roller bracket 22 through a locking nut 18.

[0068] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The above-mentioned back-positioning linear bearing 27 is assembled on the back-positioning frame 21 through the back-positioning linear bearing seat 28.

[0069] In this embodiment, the locking nut 18 is firmly connected to the roller support to ensure that it will not loosen or shift during operation. The back-fixed linear bearing seat 28 is assembled on the back-fixed positioning frame 21 to provide a stable guiding function.

[0070] Specifically, when the back positioning mechanism 20 is started, the back positioning power source 24 is activated, and the power is transmitted to the roller bracket through the back positioning floating joint 25. Due to the presence of the linear shaft and the linear bearing, the roller bracket can move smoothly along the preset path. Finally, the back positioning roller 23 contacts the workpiece and applies appropriate pressure to complete the precise positioning task.

[0071] This design not only improves the accuracy of workpiece positioning, but also reduces the possible damage to the workpiece surface, while improving the overall efficiency of the production line. In addition, the modular design makes maintenance easier and adapts to different production needs.

[0072] It is worth noting that the back positioning mechanism 20 is usually used in conjunction with the forward positioning mechanism 10 to form a complete workpiece positioning solution. The two use their respective power components and rollers to accurately clamp and position the workpiece from opposite directions, thereby ensuring the correct position and posture of the workpiece on the assembly line 30. This two-way positioning mechanism greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of workpiece processing, and is particularly suitable for manufacturing processes that require high-precision positioning. In this embodiment, the workpiece refers to the condenser 50.

[0073] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 8 The above-mentioned blocking mechanism 60 includes two relatively arranged blockers, which include a blocking power source 61, a cylinder rod 62, a connecting block 63 and a roller 64. The blocking power source 61 is connected to the cylinder rod 62; the cylinder rod 62 abuts against one end of the connecting block 63, the connecting block 63 is rotatably connected above the blocking power source 61, and the roller 64 is connected to the connecting block 63.

[0074] In this embodiment, the shape of the connecting block 63 is a triangle, wherein one corner of the connecting block 63 is connected to the top of the blocking power source 61 through a side plate, and the connecting block 63 and the side plate are hinged, another corner of the connecting block 63 is connected to the roller 64, and the third corner of the connecting block 63 abuts the cylinder rod 62.

[0075] Specifically, the blocking power source 61 provides the energy source required to drive the cylinder rod 62, which can be an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic device. The cylinder rod 62 connects the power source and the connecting block 63, and is a key component for transmitting power. The connecting block 63 is triangular in shape and has three key action points, which are respectively connected to the side plate, the roller 64 and the cylinder rod 62. The roller 64 directly contacts and blocks the key part of the workpiece, and is usually wrapped with soft protective material to reduce damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0076] The connecting block 63 is triangular, and one corner is hinged to the top of the blocking power source 61 through a side plate, allowing a certain degree of rotational freedom. This design enables the connecting block 63 to adjust the angle appropriately according to the position of the workpiece when subjected to pressure from the cylinder rod 62, ensuring the best matching of the contact surface.

[0077] The first corner is hinged to the blocking power source 61 through the side plate, providing a rotation axis.

[0078] The second corner is connected to the roller 64. As the part directly in contact with the workpiece, the roller 64 can rotate flexibly to reduce friction and prevent the surface of the workpiece from being damaged.

[0079] The third corner abuts against the cylinder rod 62. When the cylinder rod 62 is extended or retracted, it pushes or pulls the connecting block 63 to swing around its rotation axis, thereby driving the roller 64 to rise or fall, completing the blocking or releasing action.

[0080] When the blocker is started, the blocking power source 61 is activated, causing the cylinder rod 62 to extend and retract. Since one end of the connecting block 63, i.e., the third corner, is in contact with the cylinder rod 62, as the cylinder rod 62 moves, the connecting block 63 rotates around the hinge point between it and the side plate. This process causes the roller 64 connected to the other end of the connecting block 63, i.e., the second corner, to rise or fall. Specifically, when it is necessary to block the workpiece, the cylinder rod 62 extends and pushes the connecting block 63 to raise the roller 64 until the roller 64 contacts and prevents the workpiece from moving forward; when it is necessary to release the workpiece, the cylinder rod 62 retracts, allowing the connecting block 63 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the roller 64 to descend, thereby releasing the blockage to the workpiece and allowing the workpiece to continue to move along the assembly line 30.

[0081] By using the design of the triangular connecting block 63 and setting a hinge point at one of the corners, the roller 64 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to workpieces of different sizes and shapes. The design of the roller 64 reduces the friction when contacting the workpiece, avoiding possible scratches or other forms of damage. By using the precise telescopic control of the cylinder rod 62 and combining it with the mechanical structure of the connecting block 63, high-precision operation of blocking and releasing the workpiece is achieved.

[0082] The blocking mechanism 60 not only improves the automation level on the production line, but also enhances the reliability and flexibility of the system, and is suitable for a variety of industrial application scenarios, especially those requiring high-precision positioning and processing. In addition, the modular design facilitates maintenance and adjustment, and can quickly respond to changes according to production needs.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the tooling plate 40 reaches the specified position, it is first preliminarily blocked by one of the blockers. Subsequently, another blocker rises to further limit the freedom of the tooling plate 40 and prevent it from rebounding. The working principle of these cylinders is: when the cylinder shaft rises, the roller 64 drops to allow the tooling plate 40 to pass; conversely, when the cylinder shaft drops, the roller 64 rises to prevent the tooling plate 40 from moving forward. After the tooling plate 40 is completely fixed, the forward and reverse positioning mechanisms 20 act simultaneously to accurately adjust the upper and lower positions of the condenser 50. After the positioning is completed, a certain distance is left between the condenser 50 and the railing 41 of the tooling plate 40 to facilitate the subsequent robot material picking operation.

[0084] The back positioning mechanism 20 uses a cylinder as a power source to drive the roller bracket and the roller to extend and retract. Since rolling friction is used instead of sliding friction, the friction force on the condenser 50 is greatly reduced, effectively preventing the fins of the condenser 50 from being scratched. The forward positioning mechanism 10 is mainly used to position the lower end of the condenser 50. During operation, the contact surface between the roller and the condenser 50 will shift upward, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the condenser 50 being reversed or bent.

[0085] The workflow of the entire device includes:

[0086] When the tooling plate 40 carrying the condenser 50 moves to the designated workstation along the double-speed chain assembly line 30, the blocking mechanism 60 is activated first. The blocker blocks the tooling plate 40 at the predetermined position by lowering the cylinder shaft and raising the roller 64. At the same time, another blocker is also raised to further limit the freedom of the tooling plate 40 to ensure that it will not rebound or shift due to external interference. At this time, the blocker and the non-return blocker work together to provide stable conditions for subsequent precise positioning.

[0087] Once the tooling plate 40 is firmly blocked, the back positioning mechanism 20 starts to work. The back positioning mechanism 20 is installed on one side of the assembly line 30 and is mainly driven by the back positioning power source 24. The back positioning power source 24 is connected to the back positioning roller bracket 22 through the back positioning floating joint 25, which avoids damage to the cylinder due to uneven force on the roller or installation errors. Back positioning linear bearings 27 are arranged on both sides of the back positioning power source 24 to ensure the linearity and stability of the movement. When the back positioning power source 24 is extended, it drives the back positioning roller bracket 22 and the roller to expand and contract, so that the back positioning roller 23 wrapped with silicone skin or other soft protective materials contacts the upper edge of the condenser 50, and uses rolling friction instead of sliding friction to reduce the friction force on the condenser 50, thereby preventing the fins from being scratched.

[0088] At the same time, the forward positioning mechanism 10 located on the other side of the assembly line 30 also starts to operate. The structure is similar to the back positioning mechanism 20, but the telescopic trajectory of the forward positioning mechanism 10 needs to maintain a certain angle with the horizontal plane. This is to provide an upward deflection force to the condenser 50 during the action process to avoid damage to the fins caused by friction between the bottom of the condenser 50 and the tooling plate 40. The forward positioning mechanism 10 contacts the lower end of the condenser 50 through the forward positioning roller 13. As the forward positioning power source 14 extends, the forward positioning roller 13 will move upward along a preset angle to achieve precise positioning of the condenser 50 in the up and down directions.

[0089] Through the joint action of the above-mentioned two-way positioning mechanism (including the back positioning mechanism 20 and the forward positioning mechanism 10) and the blocking mechanism 60, the condenser 50 is accurately positioned at its designed position, and a certain distance is left between it and the railing 41 of the tooling plate 40 to facilitate subsequent material picking operations by the robot.

[0090] The condenser positioning device effectively solves the positioning problem of the condenser 50 during the automated processing on the assembly line 30 through precise control and reasonable design, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0091] The above-mentioned condenser positioning device is provided with a bidirectional positioning mechanism and a blocking mechanism 60. The bidirectional positioning mechanism is located on the side of the assembly line 30, and ensures the stability of the condenser 50 in the horizontal direction through precise positioning; the blocking mechanism 60 is assembled on the assembly line 30, which can effectively prevent the condenser 50 from moving during transportation; a buffer structure is added to the design of the tooling plate 40 to reduce the friction with the condenser 50 and avoid scratches on the contact surface; the bidirectional positioning mechanism is combined with the roller 64 and the bracket to ensure that the condenser 50 is firmly parked in the designated position; the above measures ensure the smooth operation of the condenser 50 in the automated production line, improve production efficiency and reduce the risk of damage.

[0092] In one embodiment, a working method using the above-mentioned condenser positioning device is also provided, comprising:

[0093] When the tooling plate 40 reaches the workstation formed by the blocking mechanism 60, the blocking mechanism 60 blocks the tooling plate 40, and the bidirectional positioning mechanism starts working to position the upper and lower positions of the condenser 50 placed on the tooling plate 40, so that a distance is formed between the condenser 50 and the railing 41 of the tooling plate 40, so that the robot can easily pick up the condenser 50.

[0094] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the specific implementation process of the working method of the above-mentioned condenser positioning device can refer to the corresponding description in the aforementioned device embodiment, and for the convenience and brevity of description, it will not be repeated here.

[0095] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
