[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist:
[0005] Common air conditioner internal fan bearings are still produced using traditional manual methods, which generally include the following core production steps: internal hole inspection before assembly, stamping and installing cover plates, and internal hole inspection after assembly. These steps mostly rely on manual operation by multiple workers and material turnover, which not only results in low production efficiency but also suffers from insufficient assembly and inspection accuracy due to human factors, leading to a low finished product qualification rate for air conditioner internal fan bearings. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides an air conditioner bearing assembly and testing line to improve the following technical problems:
[0007] The production of common air conditioner internal fan bearings still relies on traditional manual methods. The core steps mostly depend on the manual operation of multiple workers and the turnover of materials. This not only results in low production efficiency, but also suffers from insufficient assembly and testing accuracy due to human factors, leading to a low finished product qualification rate for air conditioner internal fan bearings.
[0008] This application provides an air conditioner bearing assembly and testing line, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] An air conditioner bearing assembly and inspection line includes two sets of inspection and rejection mechanisms and a cover plate assembly mechanism arranged in a straight line along the X-axis. The cover plate assembly mechanism is located between the two sets of inspection and rejection mechanisms. The upper and lower end faces of the bearing body have annular grooves and the central shaft has an inner hole. The cover plate assembly mechanism is used to install annular cover plates into the annular grooves on the upper surface of the bearing body.

[0015] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the bearing body transportation device includes a transportation trough, a trough cover plate, an X-axis linear sliding module, a Y-axis drive cylinder, a sliding table, and several fixed molds. The transportation trough, trough cover plate, and X-axis linear sliding module are all installed on the top of the assembly box and are all arranged along the X-axis direction. The bottom of the transportation trough has a servo motor-driven conveyor belt. Multiple bearing bodies are arranged in a straight line in the transportation trough and are pushed back and forth one by one for transportation. The trough cover plate covers the transportation trough to prevent the bearing bodies from slipping off. The trough cover plate has several stamped holes to allow some bearing bodies to be exposed on their upper surfaces. The sliding table is fixed on the moving block of the X-axis linear sliding module. The fixed molds are slidably assembled on the sliding table along the Y-axis direction, and the Y-axis drive cylinder is installed on the sliding table to drive the end of the fixed mold to insert into or slide out of the transportation trough. The end of the fixed mold away from the Y-axis drive cylinder has several fixed U-grooves that adapt to the outer contour of the bearing body.
[0016] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the cover plate positioning detection device includes a vertical beam, a first CCD camera and a first ring light. The bottom of the vertical beam is fixed to the assembly chassis. The first CCD camera and the first ring light are both mounted on the vertical beam. The first ring light is located directly below the first CCD camera, and the first CCD camera is located directly above the transport trough.
[0017] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the material turntable includes a low-speed servo motor, a chassis, multiple L-shaped brackets, and an annular tray. The low-speed servo motor is vertically installed inside the inspection chassis. The chassis is vertically connected to the top of the output shaft of the low-speed servo motor. The annular tray is located directly above the chassis, and both are arranged horizontally. The two ends of the L-shaped brackets are respectively connected to the inner periphery of the annular tray and the outer periphery of the chassis. The multiple L-shaped brackets are evenly spaced along the periphery of the chassis. The products to be inspected are arranged sequentially along the periphery of the upper surface of the annular tray.
[0018] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the shooting device includes a column and a second CCD camera. The second CCD camera is fixed to the column by screws. The height of the second CCD camera is adjustable. The column is vertically installed on the top of the detection housing.
[0019] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the shooting device has three sets of three second CCD cameras, which are respectively used to detect whether the inner diameter of the inner hole is qualified, to detect whether there are defects in the inner hole peripheral wall, and to detect whether there are burrs in the inner hole peripheral wall. A second ring light is provided below the second CCD camera used to detect burrs, and the second ring light is installed on the corresponding column.
[0020] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the air-blowing rejection device includes a waste bin, an L-shaped plate, an air-blowing gun, and an electrically controlled air valve. The waste bin is located on the top surface of the inspection box. The outer end of the L-shaped plate is fixed to the waste bin.

The electrically controlled air valve is installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate and connected to the air supply pipe of the air-blowing gun. The air-blowing gun is used to blow unqualified products from the periphery of the material turntable into the waste bin.
[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] First, the inner hole of the bearing body is photographed by the front-end inspection and rejection mechanism. Then, the inner hole diameter is compared and calculated to determine whether it is qualified, whether the inner circumferential wall has defects, and whether the inner circumferential wall has burrs. After rejecting unqualified products, qualified bearing bodies enter the cover plate assembly mechanism and are automatically stamped and assembled with the annular cover plate.
[0023] The cover plate vibratory feeder transports the annular cover plates one by one to the cover plate conveying track. After the annular cover plates are transported to the outlet in sequence, the pull-out type plate-pulling device pulls out the annular cover plates one by one so that the suction-type plate-removing head can take them away after being lowered and aligned. The three-axis displacement platform then transports the annular cover plates to the corresponding bearing bodies on the bearing body conveying device through preset program steps, and completes the downward punching installation process. Then, the cover plate positioning detection device takes a picture of the product directly below to detect whether the annular cover plate is assembled in the annular groove on the upper surface of the corresponding bearing body.
[0024] Then, the back-end inspection and rejection mechanism performs a second photo inspection to ensure that the inner bore of the bearing with the annular cover plate meets the inspection requirements and rejects unqualified products again.
[0025] All core steps in the process of inner hole inspection and stamping and installing cover plates are handled automatically by the equipment, and materials are automatically turned over, resulting in higher production efficiency, significantly reduced human interference, and higher assembly and inspection accuracy, which helps to improve the final qualified rate of air conditioning bearings.

[0049] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 This application will be described in further detail.
[0050] This application discloses an air conditioner bearing assembly and testing line. (Refer to...) Figure 1-10 The air conditioning bearing assembly and inspection line includes two sets of inspection and rejection mechanisms 4 arranged in a straight line along the X-axis and a cover plate assembly mechanism 5. The cover plate assembly mechanism 5 is located between the two sets of inspection and rejection mechanisms 4. The upper and lower end faces of the bearing body have annular grooves, and the central shaft has an inner hole. The cover plate assembly mechanism 5 is used to install the annular cover plate into the annular groove on the upper surface of the bearing body (see...). Figure 10 );
[0051] The cover plate assembly mechanism 5 includes an assembly housing 51 and a cover plate vibratory feeder 52. The top of the assembly housing 51 is equipped with a cover plate conveying track 53 arranged along the Y-axis, a pull-out type cover plate device 54 arranged along the X-axis, a three-axis displacement platform 55, a bearing housing transport device 56, and a cover plate positioning detection device 57. The bottom of the cover plate conveying track 53 has a servo motor-driven conveyor belt. The inlet of the cover plate conveying track 53 is connected to the output end of the cover plate vibratory feeder 52. The pull-out type cover plate device 54 is located at the outlet of the cover plate conveying track 53 and is used to pull out the annular cover plates one by one. The transfer platform 55 is equipped with an adsorption-type plate-removing head 58, which is used to remove the annular cover plate from the pull-out type plate-removing device 54. The three-axis displacement platform 55 is used to accurately transport the annular cover plate on the adsorption-type plate-removing head 58 to the bearing body in the bearing body transport device 56 and press it to fix it. The bearing body transport device 56 is used to drive the bearing body to move intermittently along the X-axis and stabilize the bearing body during the annular cover plate pressing process. The cover plate arrival detection device 57 is used to take a picture of the product directly below to detect whether the annular cover plate is assembled in the annular groove on the upper surface of the corresponding bearing body.
[0052] The inspection and rejection mechanism 4 includes an inspection housing 41, a material turntable 42, multiple sets of shooting devices 43, and an air-blowing rejection device 44. The material turntable 42 is installed on the top of the inspection housing 41 and is used to intermittently drive the product to be inspected to rotate. The multiple sets of shooting devices 43 and the air-blowing rejection device 44 are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the periphery of the material turntable 42.
[0053] In this embodiment, in order to improve the assembly efficiency of the annular cover plate, there are two cover plate vibratory disks 52, and each cover plate vibratory disk 52 is provided with two parallel cover plate conveying tracks 53. Each cover plate vibratory disk 52 is provided with a set of pull-out plate-picking device 54, a three-axis displacement platform 55, and an adsorption-type plate-picking head 58, so that multiple annular cover plates and multiple bearing bodies can be stamped and assembled simultaneously through a single program operation.
[0054] In this embodiment, the adsorption-type tablet-retrieving head 58 includes a vertically arranged hollow tube 581. The bottom of the hollow tube 581 is connected to a truncated cone 582 for stamping an annular cover. The outer diameter of the truncated cone 582 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The top of the hollow tube 581 is used to connect to an external vacuum negative pressure system. The lower end face of the hollow tube 581 has multiple adsorption holes 5811. The multiple adsorption holes 5811 are evenly spaced around the periphery of the truncated cone 582. The truncated cone 582 is used to insert into the central hole of the annular cover. The adsorption-type tablet-retrieving head 58 designed above can not only adapt to the shape of the annular cover and quickly complete the adsorption and tablet-retrieving work through the multiple adsorption holes 5811, but also accurately complete the stamping operation of the annular cover through the bottom surface of the hollow tube 581 and the truncated cone 582, which is conducive to ensuring accurate and firm assembly between the annular cover and the bearing body.
[0055] In this embodiment, the pull-out paddle device 54 includes a pull-out cylinder 541, a fixed base 542, and a sliding base 543. Both the pull-out cylinder 541 and the fixed base 542 are mounted on the top of the assembly housing 51. The sliding base 543 is slidably connected to the fixed base 542 and is connected to the telescopic shaft of the pull-out cylinder 541. The sliding base 543 is provided with several U-shaped grooves for the annular cover to be inserted. The openings of the U-shaped grooves correspond to the outlet of the cover conveying track 53. The pull-out cylinder 541 is arranged along the X-axis and is used to drive the sliding base 543 to slide back and forth. The pull-out paddle device 54 designed above has a simple structure and stable operation. Through a simple pull-out operation, the annular cover at the outlet of the cover conveying track 53 can be accurately removed, facilitating the subsequent quick alignment and removal of the suction-type paddle-removing head 58.
[0056] In this embodiment, the bearing body transport device 56 includes a transport trough 561, a trough cover plate 562, an X-axis linear sliding module 563, a Y-axis drive cylinder 564, a sliding table 565, and several fixed molds 566. The transport trough 561, the trough cover plate 562, and the X-axis linear sliding module 563 are all installed on the top of the assembly housing 51 and are all arranged along the X-axis direction. The bottom of the transport trough 561 has a servo motor-driven conveyor belt. Multiple bearing bodies are arranged in a straight line in the transport trough 561 and are pushed back and forth one by one for transport. The trough cover plate 562 covers the transport trough 561. To prevent the bearing body from slipping, the groove cover plate 562 has several stamped holes to allow part of the bearing body to be exposed on the upper surface. The sliding table 565 is fixed on the moving block of the X-axis linear sliding module 563. The fixed mold 566 is slidably assembled on the sliding table 565 along the Y-axis direction, and the Y-axis drive cylinder 564 is installed on the sliding table 565 to drive the end of the fixed mold 566 to insert or slide out of the transport groove 561. The end of the fixed mold 566 away from the Y-axis drive cylinder 564 has several fixed U-grooves 5661 that are adapted to the outer contour of the bearing body.
[0057] The bearing body transport device 56 designed above can not only efficiently and stably transport the bearing body quickly along the X-axis, but also, when the bearing body needs to be relatively fixed, the fixed U-groove 5661 on the fixed mold 566 can block and limit the bearing body, effectively preventing the bearing body from shaking and falling. When the Y-axis drive cylinder 564 drives the fixed mold 566 to retract, the fixed U-groove 5661 no longer blocks the bearing body, and the corresponding bearing body can continue to be transported linearly in the transport groove 561.
[0058] In this embodiment, the cover plate placement detection device 57 includes a vertical beam 571, a first CCD camera 572, and a first ring light 573. The bottom of the vertical beam 571 is fixed to the assembly housing 51. The first CCD camera 572 and the first ring light 573 are both mounted on the vertical beam 571. The first ring light is located directly below the first CCD camera 572, and the first CCD camera 572 is located directly above the transport groove 561. The cover plate placement detection device 57 designed above has a simple and stable structure and can accurately take pictures of the product directly below from above, so as to smoothly detect whether the annular cover plate is installed in the annular groove on the upper surface of the corresponding bearing body.
[0059] In this embodiment, the material turntable 42 includes a low-speed servo motor, a chassis 421, multiple L-shaped supports 422, and an annular tray 423. The low-speed servo motor is vertically mounted inside the inspection housing 41. The chassis 421 is vertically connected to the top of the output shaft of the low-speed servo motor. The annular tray 423 is located directly above the chassis 421, and both are arranged horizontally. The two ends of the L-shaped supports 422 are respectively connected to the inner periphery of the annular tray 423 and the outer periphery of the chassis 421. The multiple L-shaped supports 422 are evenly spaced along the periphery of the chassis 421. The products to be inspected are arranged sequentially on the upper surface periphery of the annular tray 423. The material turntable 42 designed above can rotate at a low speed, preventing the bearings on the upper surface periphery of the annular tray 423 from being flung off due to inertial centrifugal force. It also facilitates the quick sliding of the bearings into or out of the bearing surface of the annular tray 423 and is beneficial for quickly completing the rejection operation of unqualified products in conjunction with the air-blowing rejection device 44.
[0060] In this embodiment, to improve the clarity and accuracy of product imaging, the imaging device 43 includes a column 431 and a second CCD camera 432. The second CCD camera 432 is fixed to the column 431 by screws. The height of the second CCD camera 432 is adjustable. The column 431 is vertically installed on the top of the inspection housing 41. The imaging device 43 has three sets of three second CCD cameras 432, which are used to detect whether the inner diameter of the inner hole is qualified, to detect whether there are defects on the inner hole peripheral wall, and to detect whether there are burrs on the inner hole peripheral wall. A second ring light 433 is provided below the second CCD camera 432 used for burr detection. The second ring light 433 is installed on the corresponding column 431.
[0061] In this embodiment, the air-blowing rejection device 44 includes a waste bin 441, an L-shaped plate 442, an air-blowing gun 443, and an electrically controlled air valve 444. The waste bin 441 is located on the top surface of the inspection housing 41. The outer end of the L-shaped plate 442 is fixed to the waste bin 441. The air-blowing gun 443 is fixed in the inner circular hole of the L-shaped plate 442. The electrically controlled air valve 444 is installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 442 and connected to the air supply pipe of the air-blowing gun 443. The air-blowing gun 443 is used to blow unqualified products from the periphery of the material turntable 42 into the waste bin 441. The air-blowing rejection device 44 designed above has a simple structure. After the air-blowing gun 443 is started by controlling the air-blowing operation through the electrically controlled air valve 444, the high-pressure airflow blown out by the air-blowing gun 443 can quickly blow the corresponding unqualified products into the waste bin 441, which is highly efficient and precise in operation.
[0062] A go / no-go gauge inspection mechanism 6 is also provided between the output end of the cover plate assembly mechanism 5 and the rear inspection and rejection mechanism 4. An oil injection mechanism 7 is also provided at the output end of the rear inspection and rejection mechanism 4. The oil injection mechanism 7 has two output lines: an oil injection station and a non-oil injection station. The input end of the front inspection and rejection mechanism 4 is also provided with a hole extrusion and polishing mechanism 3, a feeding vibratory plate 2, and a ramp lifting feeder 1 arranged in sequence. The ramp lifting feeder 1 is used to transport multiple bearing bodies in batches to the feeding vibratory plate 2. The feeding vibratory plate 2 is used to transport the bearing bodies one by one to the hole extrusion and polishing mechanism 3.
[0063] The extrusion and polishing mechanism 3 is used to extrude the inner hole from the inside out and to polish the peripheral sidewall of the extruded inner hole. The extrusion and polishing mechanism 3 includes a first housing 31, a first transport module 32, multiple extrusion modules 33, and multiple polishing modules 34. The structure and working principle of the first transport module 32 are the same as those of the bearing body transport device 56. The extrusion module 33 specifically includes an extrusion cylinder and an extrusion drill bit driven by the extrusion cylinder to press down. The polishing module 34 specifically includes a polishing motor and a polishing brush driven by the polishing motor to rotate. The multiple extrusion modules 33 and the multiple polishing modules 34 are all raised and lowered by vertically arranged lifting cylinders to ensure that the extrusion drill bit and the polishing brush are close to the bearing body directly below. The extrusion module 33 and the polishing module 34 are common functional structures in the bearing production field.
[0064] The go / no-go gauge inspection mechanism 6 includes a second housing 61, a second transport module 62, and multiple sets of verification modules 63. The structure and working principle of the second transport module 62 are the same as those of the bearing housing transport device 56. The verification module 63 specifically includes a servo displacement platform and a go / no-go gauge measuring device that is driven by the servo displacement platform to move precisely along the XYZ three axes, ensuring that the go / no-go gauge measuring device is close to the bearing housing directly below, thereby quickly completing the batch inner diameter inspection of the products to be inspected. The verification module 63 is a common functional structure in the bearing manufacturing field and belongs to the existing technology common in this field, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the servo displacement platform and the three-axis displacement platform 55 are both common motion modules in mechanical equipment.
[0065] The oiling mechanism 7 includes a third housing 71, a third transport module 72, a fourth transport module 73, and a CNC oiling module 74. The structure and working principle of the third transport module 72 and the fourth transport module 73 are the same as those of the bearing body transport device 56. The bearings on the third transport module 72 do not need to be oiled, while the bearings on the fourth transport module 73 do. The CNC oiling module 74 is located directly above the fourth transport module 73 and is used to add lubricating oil to the bearings through the oiling gun head. The CNC oiling module 74 is a common functional structure in the bearing manufacturing industry.
[0066] The beneficial technical effects of the air conditioner bearing assembly and testing line in this application embodiment are roughly as follows:
[0067] First, the front-end detection and rejection mechanism 4 takes pictures of the inner hole of the bearing body. Then, the system compares the obtained pictures to calculate whether the inner hole diameter is qualified, whether the inner circumferential wall has defects, and whether the inner circumferential wall has burrs. After rejecting unqualified products, qualified bearing bodies enter the cover plate assembly mechanism 5 and are automatically stamped and assembled with the annular cover plate.
[0068] The cover plate vibratory plate 52 transports the annular cover plates one by one to the cover plate conveying track 53. After the annular cover plates are transported to the outlet in sequence, the pull-out type plate-pulling device 54 pulls out the annular cover plates one by one so that the suction type plate-removing head 58 after the alignment is lowered can take them away. The three-axis displacement platform 55 then transports the annular cover plates to the corresponding bearing body on the bearing body conveying device 56 through the preset program steps, and completes the downward punching installation process. Then, the cover plate positioning detection device 57 takes a picture of the product directly below to detect whether the annular cover plate is installed in the annular groove on the upper surface of the corresponding bearing body.
[0069] Then, the back-end inspection and rejection mechanism 4 performs a second photo inspection to ensure that the inner bore of the bearing with the annular cover plate meets the inspection requirements and rejects unqualified products again.
[0070] All core steps in the process of inner hole inspection and stamping and installing cover plates are handled automatically by the equipment, and materials are automatically turned over, resulting in higher production efficiency, significantly reduced human interference, and higher assembly and inspection accuracy, which helps to improve the final qualified rate of air conditioning bearings.
[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
