[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.
[0035] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.
[0036] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the utility model provides a positioning device, which is used for positioning and assembling a substrate 51 and a decorative panel 52 in a decorative panel assembly 5. An opening 6 is provided in the middle of the substrate 51 and the decorative panel 52. The positioning device includes: a base 1 and a tooling portion 2 arranged on the base 1. The substrate 51 is placed on the top of the tooling portion 2. The tooling portion 2 is provided with at least one movable mechanism 3 corresponding to the opening 6 of the substrate 51. The movable mechanism 3 is used to move toward the opposite sides of the tooling portion 2 to abut against the opposite sides of the opening 6 of the substrate 51; the decorative panel 52 is fitted and arranged on the side of the substrate 51 away from the tooling portion 2.
[0037] In this embodiment, the openings 6 of the substrate 51 and the decorative panel 52 correspond to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The diameter of the opening 6 of the substrate 51 is usually gradually enlarged from the bottom to the top. Therefore, it is not easy for the conventional positioning structure to accurately position the opening 6 with a gradually enlarging diameter, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the substrate 51.
[0038] The top of the tooling part 2 of this embodiment is used to place the substrate 51, so the movable mechanism 3 can be set on the top of the tooling part 2. After the substrate 51 is placed on the top of the tooling part 2, the movable mechanism 3 is located in the opening 6 of the substrate 51, and then the movable mechanism 3 is moved toward the opposite sides of the tooling part 2 at the same time until the movable mechanism 3 is simultaneously against the opposite sides of the opening 6. Here, the abutting surface of the movable mechanism 3 can be adapted and designed according to the shape formed by the change in the diameter of the opening 6, so that the abutting positioning is more fitted and more stable. After the movable mechanism 3 is simultaneously against the opposite sides of the opening 6, the directions of the front and rear sides of the substrate 51 are limited by the movable mechanism 3, and the substrate 51 is stably attached to the tooling part 2.
[0039] In this embodiment, the substrate 51 is first stably positioned, and on this basis, the decorative panel 52 is placed in a similar manner to the substrate 51, so that the decorative panel 52 is aligned and pasted on the top of the substrate 51, and the opposite sides of the opening 6 of the decorative panel 52 are respectively aligned with the movable mechanism 3, so that the substrate 51 and the decorative panel 52 are aligned and assembled; because of the stable positioning foundation of the substrate 51, even the decorative panel 52 without structural positioning can be accurately positioned and pasted on the substrate 51, meeting the high-quality appearance requirements of the decorative panel assembly 5.
[0040] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of first positioning portions are provided on the tooling portion 2 , and the plurality of first positioning portions are used for cooperating with a plurality of second positioning portions provided on the substrate 51 for positioning.
[0041] In this embodiment, when the substrate 51 is placed on the tooling part 2, the first positioning part and the second positioning part cooperate to position the substrate 51 so that the substrate 51 is accurately placed on the top of the tooling part 2, thereby avoiding the occurrence of misalignment between the substrate 51 and the tooling part 2, improving the convenience and accuracy of placing the substrate 51, and helping to improve the efficiency of positioning the tooling part 2 and the substrate 51.
[0042] Specifically, the first positioning part includes a positioning pin 21 and a positioning groove 22, and the second positioning part includes a positioning port 511 and a positioning block 512. Through the positioning port 511 and the positioning pin 21, and the positioning block 512 and the positioning slot 22, the looseness of the substrate 51 in the left and right directions (i.e., the length direction of itself) can be limited, and the stability of the positioning of the substrate 51 and the tooling part 2 can be further improved. Among them, there are multiple positioning grooves 22, and there are also multiple positioning blocks 512. In this embodiment, three are preferably provided, and a larger number of settings can be set according to the area size of the tooling part 2 and the area size of the substrate 51. It should be noted that the settings of the positioning pin 21 and the positioning groove 22, and the settings of the positioning port 511 and the positioning block 512 can be interchanged between the tooling part 2 and the substrate 51, and there is no limitation on this. It can be reasonably set according to the actual situation.
[0043] See also Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the substrate 51 is adapted to the shape of the top of the tooling part 2; a plurality of groups of vacuum adsorption components (not shown in the figure) are provided on the tooling part 2, and adsorption holes 23 connected to the vacuum adsorption components are provided on the top of the tooling part 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the bottom of the substrate 51 is a curved surface, and the top surface of the tooling part 2 is arranged corresponding to the bottom of the substrate 51 to adapt to the placement of the substrate 51 and improve the stability of the substrate 51 placed on the top of the tooling part 2. Among them, multiple groups of vacuum adsorption components are arranged inside the tooling part 2 and the adsorption ports of the multiple groups of vacuum adsorption components are respectively connected to the multiple adsorption holes 23 arranged on the top of the tooling part 2. When the substrate 51 is placed on the tooling part 2, the multiple groups of vacuum adsorption components adsorb the substrate 51 onto the tooling part 2, so that the substrate 51 will not move on the tooling part 2, further improving the stability of the substrate 51 placed on the tooling part 2.
[0045] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, two limiting portions 4 are further provided on the base 1 and located at opposite ends of the tooling portion 2 , and the two limiting portions 4 are respectively matched with the bending portions 513 at the two ends of the base plate 51 for positioning.
[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 4 includes a fixed block and a plurality of columns arranged on the fixed block. Both ends of the substrate 51 are bent downward by 90 degrees to form a bending portion 513. The bending portion 513 has adjacent first side edges 5131 and second side edges 5132. The first side edge 5131 is an arc-shaped edge, and the second side edge 5132 is a straight edge. The arc-shaped bending direction of the first side edge 5131 is toward the second side edge 5132. The first side edge 5131 and the second side edge 5132 of the bending portion 513 are distributed and fit against the plurality of columns, thereby limiting the up and down movement of the bending portion 513.
[0047] More specifically, a limit strip 24 is further provided on one side of the top of the tooling part 2. The limit strip 24 extends along the length direction of the tooling part 2 and abuts against the base plate 51, thereby playing an auxiliary limit role and improving the stability of the base plate 51 positioned on the tooling part 2.
[0048] The working principle of the movable mechanism 3 is described in more detail below.
[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 to Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of movable mechanisms 3 are distributed along the length direction of the tooling portion 2 ; the movable mechanisms 3 are used to move toward opposite sides in the width direction of the tooling portion 2 to abut against both sides in the width direction of the opening 6 of the substrate 51 .
[0050] In this embodiment, a plurality of movable mechanisms 3 are evenly spaced and distributed in the length direction of the fixture part 2. When the substrate 51 is placed on the fixture part 2, the plurality of movable mechanisms 3 are located in the length direction of the opening 6. When positioning, the plurality of movable mechanisms 3 move toward both sides of the width direction of the opening 6, thereby positioning the substrate 51 on the fixture part 2 to improve the stability of the substrate 51 being positioned on the fixture part 2. The number of movable mechanisms 3 can be set according to the length of the fixture part 2 and the length of the substrate 51. In this embodiment, three movable mechanisms 3 are preferably set. The three movable mechanisms 3 are jointly supported against both sides of the width direction of the opening 6 of the substrate 51, thereby stably positioning the substrate 51 on the fixture part 2.
[0051] In one embodiment, each movable mechanism 3 includes two sets of limit components; the two sets of limit components are staggered in the length direction of the tooling part 2 and opposite in the width direction; the two sets of limit components are respectively used to move toward the opposite sides of the width direction of the tooling part 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, the driving direction of one set of limit assemblies is toward one side in the width direction of the tooling part 2, and the driving direction of the other set of limit assemblies is toward the other side in the width direction of the tooling part 2. When the substrate 51 is placed on the tooling part 2, the two sets of limit assemblies are driven to move toward the two sides in the width direction of the tooling part 2, so that the two sets of limit assemblies are respectively against the opposite sides in the width direction of the opening 6 (such as Figure 6 shown).
[0053] See also Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, each limit block includes a limit block 32 and a driving member 31 for driving the limit block 32 to move, the driving member 31 is installed in the tooling part 2, and the limit block 32 is installed at the output end of the driving member 31; the limit block 32 is exposed at the top of the tooling part 2.
[0054] In this embodiment, the top of the limit block 32 is exposed from the tooling part 2 and corresponds to the opening 6 of the substrate 51, and slightly exceeds the opening 6 of the substrate 51. The corresponding limit block 32 is driven by the corresponding driving member 31 to move in the width direction of the opening 6, so that the corresponding limit block 32 is abutted against the corresponding side of the opening 6, thereby positioning the substrate 51 in the tooling part 2; it should be understood that multiple groups of limit components of multiple movable mechanisms 3 work simultaneously, which effectively improves the stability of positioning.
[0055] Furthermore, after the base plate 51 is stably positioned, the decorative plate 52 is aligned with the base plate 51 and the two sides of the opening 6 of the decorative plate 52 in the width direction are aligned with the two sets of stopper components (i.e., the parts of the two stopper blocks 32 that extend beyond the opening 6 of the base plate 51) that move toward the opposite sides in the width direction of the tooling part 2. In this way, the decorative plate 52 can also be accurately positioned and pasted on the base plate 51.
[0056] In this embodiment, the driving member 31 is a driving cylinder or a screw drive motor. In this embodiment, the driving cylinder is preferably used. The driving cylinder has a small size to save installation space of the tooling part 2.
[0057] In one embodiment, a surface of the limiting block 32 that abuts against the substrate 51 is provided with an inclined surface 321 for abutting against the side surface of the opening 6 .
[0058] In this embodiment, since the opening 6 of the substrate 51 is a gradually expanding structure, the side walls around the opening 6 are inclined, and the side of the limit block 32 that abuts against the substrate 51 is set as an inclined surface 321. The inclination direction of the inclined surface 321 is the same as the inclination direction of the side walls around the opening 6, so that the limit block 32 can fit more closely with the substrate 51, thereby improving the stability of the limit block 32 abutting against the substrate 51.
[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 to Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a first switch 11 for controlling the opening and closing of the movable mechanism 3 and a second switch 12 for controlling the opening and closing of the vacuum adsorption component are also provided on the base 1. When a failure of the movable mechanism 3 and a failure of the vacuum adsorption component occur, the first switch 11 and the second switch 12 can be used to open and close accordingly, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation of the positioning device.
[0060] An embodiment of the utility model further provides an air conditioning processing device, which includes the positioning device as described above.
[0061] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model 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 utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
