Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioner detection equipment, and particularly to an air conditioner refrigerant pipe sealing detection equipment and a detection line. Background Art

[0002] The refrigeration system includes a heat exchanger and a compressor. The heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of the hot fluid to the cold fluid, also known as a heat exchanger. The compressor is mainly a driven fluid machine that raises low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas. During the working process, it sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas from the suction pipe, compresses it by driving a piston through the operation of the motor, and then discharges high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas to the exhaust pipe, providing power for the refrigeration cycle.

[0003] In the refrigeration system, refrigerant pipes are mainly used as the conveying medium pipes between the heat exchanger and the compressor. Therefore, during the production process of the refrigeration system, it is necessary to ensure the tightness of the refrigerant pipes. During the assembly process of the refrigeration system, the refrigerant pipes need to be subjected to a sealing test to ensure the production quality. In the existing detection process of refrigerant pipes, the main method is vacuum detection. The existing vacuum detection method is to seal either end of the inlet / outlet of the refrigerant pipe, and perform a vacuum pumping operation on the other end of the inlet / outlet, so that the refrigerant pipe is in a negative pressure state, and the refrigerant pipe is placed in a pressure detection box. The pressure value of the refrigerant pipe in the negative pressure state is obtained through the pressure detection box to determine whether the pressure value of the refrigerant pipe meets the standard, and then to determine whether the tightness of the refrigerant pipe meets the standard. After the existing refrigerant pipes are detected, it is necessary to manually remove the connection interface between the refrigerant pipe and the vacuum pump body, and in continuous production, it is necessary to classify the qualified products and unqualified products in sequence. Although using a vacuum detection device to detect the refrigerant pipes can improve work efficiency, most of the existing vacuum detection devices adopt a single-station working mode, that is, a single detection station is used to perform vacuum detection on a single refrigerant pipe, and it is not applicable to continuous production. Therefore, it is also necessary to manually unload the material to make the detection station vacant before placing and detecting the subsequent refrigerant pipes. The overall work efficiency is not high and it is not applicable to continuous production.

[0004] With reference to the Chinese invention patent application with publication number "CN110987300A" and titled "An air-conditioning refrigerant pipe sealing detection device", the technical scheme discloses "An air-conditioning refrigerant pipe sealing detection device, comprising a box body, a base is provided in the box body, used to detect whether the refrigerant pipe is leaking; a positioning component, the positioning component is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the base, used to position the refrigerant pipe; an inflation component, the inflation component is fixedly arranged on the end of the base away from the positioning component, and the inflation component inflates the refrigerant pipe. It solves the problem of first inflating the refrigerant pipe and then putting it into the vacuum box for detection, which wastes time and cannot guarantee that there will be no gas leakage during the inflation process. The problem of waste is caused by the cooperation between the first pulley and the second pulley. Although the technical solution can drive the rotating plate to rotate by the cooperation between the first pulley and the second pulley, while rotating, the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate clamp the inflation pipe mouth and rotate synchronously, and the inflation pipe mouth is screwed on the refrigerant pipe, and then the refrigerant pipe is inflated to complete the pipe mouth docking action, thereby improving the detection efficiency. However, the technical solution still needs to fix the refrigerant pipe on the positioning assembly, and the interface is likely to fall off during the inflation process of the refrigerant pipe, affecting the detection accuracy. In addition, after the sealing detection is completed, the pipe mouth needs to be manually pulled out and the blanks need to be transported, and the automation efficiency is not high.

[0039] Embodiment 1. To achieve the automatic evacuation of the refrigerant pipe, detect the sealing performance through the degree of vacuum during the evacuation process, and achieve the automatic discharging of qualified refrigerant pipes to improve the automation efficiency. In this embodiment: a conveying plane 1, several sliding carrier plates 2, several groups of detection components 3 for detecting the vacuum degree value of the refrigerant pipe, and a pushing device 4; several sliding carrier plates 2 are all located directly above the conveying plane 1, several groups of detection components 3 are respectively arranged on several sliding carrier plates 2, the pushing device 4 is arranged on one side of the conveying plane 1, and the conveying plane 1 can be used to sequentially convey several sliding carrier plates 2 to face the pushing device 4 one by one. The pushing device 4 includes a carrying support plate 41 and a moving plate member 42. A jacking mechanism 421 is arranged on the moving plate member 42, and a pushing flat plate 422 is arranged on the power output end of the jacking mechanism 421. One side of the pushing flat plate 422 faces the conveying plane 1. The moving plate member 42 is slidably arranged on the carrying support plate 41, and a moving mechanism 411 is arranged on the carrying support plate 41. The power output end of the moving mechanism 411 is in transmission connection with the moving plate member 42, so that the moving mechanism 411 can be used to control the sliding distance of the moving plate member 42. A supporting flat plate 21 and a pipe pulling head mechanism 22 are arranged directly above each sliding carrier plate 2. A vacuum pump body 211 and a high-pressure air pump 212 are arranged on the supporting flat plate 21. The air extraction end of the vacuum pump body 211 is connected with a pneumatic joint 213 through a vacuum extraction pipeline, and the pneumatic joint 213 is detachably connected to the end of the refrigerant pipe. The pipe pulling head mechanism 22 is located directly above the supporting flat plate 21. The vacuum pump body 211 can be used to evacuate the refrigerant pipe on the supporting flat plate 21. During this process, the vacuum degree detection can be realized. When the vacuum degree value of the refrigerant pipe reaches the standard, that is, the product sealing performance is qualified, the evacuation action is stopped; When blanking is required, the moving mechanism 411 drives the moving plate member 42 to move, so that the moving plate member 42 can be aligned with the supporting flat plate 21 on the sliding carrier plate 2. The pushing device 4 can effectively push and drop the refrigerant pipe that has passed the detection on the supporting flat plate 21 automatically. The pipe pulling head mechanism 22 separates the pneumatic joint 213 and the end of the refrigerant pipe. The moving mechanism 411 of the pushing device 4 is started, so that the moving plate member 42 is aligned with the supporting flat plate 21, and the jacking mechanism 421 drives the pushing flat plate 422 to move towards the refrigerant pipe on the supporting flat plate 21. The pushing flat plate 422 pushes the refrigerant pipe with qualified sealing detection out of the supporting flat plate 21, making the supporting flat plate 21 in an empty state, so as to facilitate the subsequent placement of the refrigerant pipe to be sealed and detected on the empty supporting flat plate 21. Thus, the automatic blanking action after the vacuum sealing detection of the refrigerant pipe is completed, the working efficiency is improved, and it is applicable to the continuous production and detection process.

[0040] It should be noted that a guiding rack 423 is provided on the side of the moving plate member 42 facing the bearing pallet 41, and the guiding rack 423 is horizontally distributed along one side of the moving plate member 42. A driving gear 412 is provided at the power output end of the moving mechanism 411, and the driving gear 412 is engaged with the guiding rack 423. When the moving mechanism 411 on the bearing pallet 41 is started, the driving gear 412 can drive the guiding rack 423, thereby realizing the movement of the moving plate member 42 on the bearing pallet 41 until the power output end of the ejecting mechanism 421 can be aligned with the refrigerant pipe on the material supporting flat plate 21.

[0041] Regarding the above description, it should be particularly supplemented that in order to realize the reciprocating movement of the moving plate member 42, the moving mechanism 411 can adopt a servo motor. A servo motor is a rotary actuator or a linear actuator that allows precise control of the angular velocity or the linear position, speed, and acceleration. It includes a suitable motor connected to a sensor, thereby improving the position accuracy and ensuring that the power output end of the ejecting mechanism 421 can be aligned with the refrigerant pipe on the material supporting flat plate 21.

[0042] It should be noted that the detection component 3 includes a vacuum gauge and a display screen. The detection end of the vacuum gauge is connected to the vacuum pumping pipeline, and the vacuum gauge is used to obtain the vacuum degree value of the refrigerant pipe. The display screen can also be used to display the vacuum degree value of the refrigerant pipe, thereby facilitating the judgment of whether the vacuum degree value reaches a certain threshold to determine whether the airtightness of the refrigerant pipe is qualified.

[0043] It should also be noted that in order to ensure that the position of the material pushing flat plate 422 does not tilt or shift, so that the force is evenly distributed when the material pushing flat plate 422 pushes the refrigerant pipe, a guiding column body 99 is provided on the material pushing flat plate 422, and a guiding sleeve 100 is provided on one side of the moving plate member 42. The guiding column body 99 is slidably inserted into the inside of the guiding sleeve 100, and the guiding column body 99 and the guiding sleeve 100 can be used to limit the position of the material pushing flat plate 422 to prevent the position of the material pushing flat plate 422 from tilting or shifting.

[0044] In the above description, it should also be supplemented that an elastic member can be sleeved outside the guiding column body 99, and the elastic member can adopt a spring, and the elastic member can achieve a buffering effect.

[0045] Specifically, a conveying guide rail is provided directly below the conveying plane 1, and a plurality of sliding carrier plates 2 are slidably arranged on the conveying guide rail. A guiding roller and a limiting groove wheel are respectively rotatably arranged on one side of the sliding carrier plate 2 facing the conveying plane 1. The outer part of the guiding roller is tangent to the top of the conveying guide rail, and the groove of the limiting groove wheel is abutted against the outer part of the conveying guide rail. Thus, the sliding carrier plate 2 can slide along the top of the conveying guide rail through the guiding roller, and the limiting groove wheel plays a limiting role to prevent the sliding carrier plate 2 from jamming due to the deviation of the guiding roller from the track.

[0046] It should be further noted that one end of the material supporting flat plate 21 away from the material pushing flat plate 422 is arranged to be downwardly inclined and is provided with a rotating roller. When the ejecting mechanism 421 of the material pushing device 4 works, the ejecting mechanism 421 can drive the material pushing flat plate 422 to move towards the material supporting flat plate 21, so that the refrigerant pipe on the material supporting flat plate 21 moves and slides onto the rotating roller outside the material supporting flat plate 21, facilitating the material falling and conveying.

[0047] Embodiment 2. After the tightness detection of the refrigerant pipe is completed, since both ends of the refrigerant pipe are in a connected state with the pneumatic joint 213, before the blanking action is pushed, an automated removal action needs to be performed on the pneumatic joint 213. The pneumatic joint 213 of the existing vacuum detection equipment needs to be manually removed before blanking, which easily causes the removed pneumatic joints 213 to be in a scattered state. Once the pneumatic joint 213 falls, it is likely to cause the conveying components to jam and have a certain impact on the subsequent insertion efficiency. Therefore, to prevent the pneumatic joints 213 from scattering for subsequent insertion, in this embodiment, it should be noted that: a material supporting flat plate 21 and a head removal mechanism 22 are provided directly above each sliding carrier plate 2. A vacuum pump body 211 and a high-pressure air pump 212 are arranged on the material supporting flat plate 21. The air extraction end of the vacuum pump body 211 is connected with the pneumatic joint 213 through a vacuum pipeline. The pneumatic joint 213 is detachably connected to the end of the refrigerant pipe. A disconnection air port 214 is opened on the outside of the pneumatic joint 213. The head removal mechanism 22 is located directly above the material supporting flat plate 21. The head removal mechanism 22 includes a pneumatic balancer 221. The power output end of the pneumatic balancer 221 is connected to the outside of the pneumatic joint 213. The air outlet end of the high-pressure air pump 212 is communicated with the disconnection air port 214. During the vacuum detection process, the vacuum pump body 211 performs a vacuum pumping action on the refrigerant pipe through the pneumatic joint 213. At this time, the vacuum pumping action can make the refrigerant pipe in a negative pressure state, which means that the internal pressure of the refrigerant pipe is lower than the atmospheric pressure. After the detection is completed, the vacuum pump body 211 stops working, and the high-pressure air pump 212 inputs gas into the disconnection air port 214 to make the inside of the refrigerant pipe in a positive pressure state, that is, the inside of the refrigerant pipe is in a state higher than the atmospheric pressure. During this process, the pneumatic joint 213 will fall off and separate from the end of the refrigerant pipe due to the positive pressure, completing the automatic head removal action. The high-pressure air pump 212 can supply high-pressure gas to disconnect the connection between the pneumatic joint 213 and the refrigerant pipe, and cooperate with the pneumatic balancer 221 to pull the pneumatic joint 213 until the pneumatic joint 213 is completely separated from the end of the refrigerant pipe.

[0048] It should be noted that the pneumatic balancer 221 can support the pneumatic joint 213 to prevent the pneumatic joint 213 from falling directly, and can assist in the head removal action when the pneumatic balancer 221 works, improving the head removal work efficiency.

[0049] Combined with the descriptions in the first and second embodiments, it should be particularly supplemented that in order to control the start and stop of each working component after determining whether the refrigerant pipe is sealed qualified according to the vacuum degree value, a control mechanism may be included outside the conveying plane 1. The detection component 3 is connected to the control mechanism, and the control mechanism is respectively connected to the pushing device 4, the vacuum pump body 211, the high-pressure air pump 212, and the unplugging mechanism 22. The vacuum degree value of the refrigerant pipe can be obtained through the detection component 3 to determine whether the product is sealed qualified according to the vacuum degree value. If the product is sealed qualified, the control mechanism stops the operation of the vacuum pump body 211 and starts the operation of the pushing device 4 and the high-pressure air pump 212 to realize the automatic unplugging and blanking actions. When the high-pressure air pump 212 is operating, the high-pressure air pump 212 can supply gas to the disconnection air port 214.

[0050] Embodiment 3: To perform a vacuum pumping operation on the refrigerant pipe and detect the vacuum degree of the refrigerant pipe during the vacuum pumping process to determine whether the refrigerant pipe is sealed qualified according to the vacuum degree. In the existing vacuum sealing detection process of the refrigerant pipe, one end of the refrigerant pipe needs to be sealed with a seal, and a vacuum pumping operation is performed on the other end of the refrigerant pipe. During this process, it is difficult to ensure the firm connection between the seal and the end of the refrigerant pipe, which will affect the detection accuracy due to insufficient sealing, and the work efficiency is low when only performing a vacuum pumping operation on one end of the refrigerant pipe. To improve the vacuum pumping work efficiency and ensure the detection accuracy, in this embodiment: The air extraction end of the vacuum pump body 211 is connected with two air pressure connectors 213 through a vacuum pumping pipeline (not shown in the figure), and both air pressure connectors 213 are detachably connected to the end of the refrigerant pipe. Disconnection air ports 214 are respectively provided outside the two air pressure connectors 213. The unplugging mechanism 22 is located directly above the material supporting flat plate 21. The unplugging mechanism 22 includes two pneumatic balancers 221. The power output ends of the two pneumatic balancers 221 are respectively connected to the outside of the two air pressure connectors 213 one by one. The air outlet end of the high-pressure air pump 212 is communicated with the disconnection air port 214. During the vacuum sealing detection, one air pressure connector 213 is detachably connected to one end of the refrigerant pipe, and the other air pressure connector 213 is also detachably connected to the other end of the refrigerant pipe. Two pneumatic balancers 221 are provided, and the two pneumatic balancers 221 are respectively connected to the two air pressure connectors 213 one by one. Therefore, the two ends of the refrigerant pipe can be respectively connected through the two air pressure connectors 213 to perform a synchronous vacuum pumping operation on the two ends of the refrigerant pipe, thereby improving the work efficiency and further improving the sealing detection accuracy.

[0051] It should be noted that connecting hooks 222 are provided on the power output ends of the two pneumatic balancers 221, and limiting card slots are provided on the outsides of the two pneumatic connectors 213. The connecting hooks 222 are buckled outside the limiting card slots. When separating from the pneumatic connector 213, the pneumatic balancer 221 can play an auxiliary separation role for the pneumatic connector 213, ensuring that the pneumatic connector 213 can be completely separated from the end of the refrigerant pipe, preventing the pneumatic connector 213 from falling directly after separation, preventing damage to components caused by the collision of the pneumatic connector 213, and preventing the pneumatic connector 213 from scattering, facilitating the subsequent insertion of the end of the refrigerant pipe to be hermetically tested again.

[0052] Embodiment 4. Combining the descriptions in the above embodiments, in order to achieve automatic loading and unloading and blanking during continuous production to be applicable to continuous production and convey the products with qualified hermeticity detection to the next assembly station, an air-conditioning refrigerant pipe hermeticity detection line is provided in this embodiment, including the automatic blanking device in any of the above embodiments. The air-conditioning refrigerant pipe hermeticity detection line further includes a clamping and placing device and a blanking and transporting plane. A feeding bin is further provided outside the conveying plane 1. The clamping and placing device includes a clamping mechanism and a displacement mechanism. The clamping and placing device is located between the feeding bin and the conveying plane 1. The clamping mechanism is provided at the power output end of the displacement mechanism. The feeding bin can be used to supply the refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested, and the clamping mechanism can be used to clamp the refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested. The displacement mechanism is used to control the moving range of the clamping mechanism. During the clamping and loading process, the displacement mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to be above the feeding bin, and the clamping mechanism clamps the refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested in the feeding bin. After being firmly clamped, the displacement mechanism drives the clamping mechanism clamping the refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested to move and align with the empty supporting flat plate 21 again, so that the clamping mechanism places the clamped refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested on the empty supporting flat plate 21. Therefore, the action of automatically placing the refrigerant pipes to be hermetically tested on the empty supporting flat plate 21 can be realized, facilitating the subsequent connection of the two ends of the refrigerant pipe to the two pneumatic connectors 213 respectively by the subsequent staff without manual handling and placement, improving work efficiency. The blanking and transporting plane is arranged on the other side of the conveying plane 1, and one end of the blanking and transporting plane corresponds to the pushing device 4. The blanking and transporting plane can be used to transport the refrigerant pipes with qualified hermeticity detection. Then, when the pushing device 4 pushes the refrigerant pipes with qualified hermeticity detection onto the blanking and transporting plane, the refrigerant pipes with qualified vacuum degree values are conveyed to the next process through the blanking and transporting plane. The above-mentioned qualified vacuum degree value means qualified hermeticity detection.

[0053] For the above description, further improvements are made. To be applicable to continuous production, the conveying plane 1 can be set as a ring structure. Therefore, after the refrigerant pipe passes the seal detection, the pusher device 4 can be used to push the material to the blanking transportation plane, so that the supporting flat plate 21 is in an unloaded state, and the unloaded supporting flat plate 21 is conveyed by the conveying plane 1 close to the feeding bin, so as to facilitate placing the refrigerant pipe to be seal-detected on the unloaded supporting flat plate 21 again for seal detection. Since the conveying plane 1 is arranged in a ring structure, the refrigerant pipe that has passed the seal detection can be aligned with the pusher device 4 again, and the above actions are repeated to complete the continuous production action.

[0054] Regarding the above description, it should be further supplemented that a recycling device can be added outside the above-mentioned conveying plane 1, and a recycling bin is provided at the corresponding position of the recycling device. The recycling device is set to have the same structure as the pusher device 4. In actual installation, the recycling device can be adjacent to the pusher device 4. When the pusher device 4 pushes the refrigerant pipe that has passed the seal detection to the blanking transportation plane, the supporting flat plate 21 loaded with the refrigerant pipe that has failed the seal detection is conveyed by the conveying plane 1 to align with the recycling device. After the unplugging mechanism 22 separates the pneumatic joint 213 and the end of the refrigerant pipe that has failed the seal detection, the recycling device pushes the refrigerant pipe that has failed the seal detection into the recycling bin, which is convenient for centralized recycling and processing of unqualified products. After recycling, the supporting flat plate 21 loaded with the refrigerant pipe that has failed the seal detection can be in an unloaded state, so as to facilitate placing the refrigerant pipe to be seal-detected on the unloaded supporting flat plate 21, which is applicable to continuous production.

[0055] Combined with the records in the above embodiments, it is particularly supplemented that the vacuum pump body 211 can adopt a rotary vane pump. Among them, the rotary vane pump is a two-stage structure, which is composed of a high-pressure stage and a low-pressure stage. Its suction port is connected to a vacuum container or vacuum equipment, and a large amount of gas in the container will be inhaled and discharged during operation. When the equipment obtains a vacuum, the exhaust valve plate of the high-pressure stage will be closed, and the gas inhaled by the high-pressure stage will be transferred to the second stage and inhaled and discharged through the second stage, so that the vacuum equipment can obtain a certain vacuum; according to the user's usage, a vacuum booster pump can be equipped and used as a fore pump. Since the pumping power of the booster pump is enhanced and the fore pump continuously pumps, the equipment can obtain a higher vacuum.

[0056] Combined with the records in the above embodiments, it should also be supplemented that during the assembly and production process of the refrigeration system, refrigerant pipes are mainly used as the conveying medium pipes between the air-conditioning heat exchanger and the air-conditioning compressor, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the refrigerant pipes placed on the supporting flat plate 21 are not individual refrigerant pipes, but air-conditioning heat exchangers assembled with refrigerant pipes.

In the above embodiments, the descriptions of the respective embodiments have their own emphases. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
