[0066] like Figures 1-11 As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner water pan assembly device. This device, through the collaborative operation of multiple modules, aims to solve the problems of high labor intensity, difficulty in assembly, and difficulty in ensuring assembly quality in the traditional water pan assembly process.

[0067] The air conditioner water tray assembly equipment includes a material storage device 100 , a conveyor line 200 , a secondary positioning device 300 and a manipulator device 400 .

[0068] The material storage device 100 is used to store the water receiving tray 600, ensuring that the water receiving tray 600 is placed in order before assembly, thereby improving the efficiency of the production line.

[0069] The conveying line 200 is used to transport the main structure of the indoor unit of the air conditioner (not shown).

[0070] The conveyor line 200 may be provided with a positioning and fixing mechanism 210, such as Figure 6 As shown, the main structure can be stably fixed in the assembly area, making it easier for the robot device 400 to perform subsequent assembly operations.

[0071] The secondary positioning device 300 accurately positions the water tray 600 to ensure that the water tray 600 is accurately positioned before assembly, thereby reducing installation problems caused by position deviation.

[0072] The robot device 400 includes a robot 410 and a clamp 420 provided on the robot 410 .

[0073] The robot 410 can grab the water collecting tray 600 stored in the logistics storage device through the clamp 420, and transfer it to the secondary positioning device 300 for positioning, and then move the positioned water collecting tray 600 to the conveyor line 200, and assemble it to the main structure of the air conditioner indoor unit through the clamp 420.

[0074] The above-mentioned air-conditioning water tray assembly equipment utilizes a manipulator device 400 and a secondary positioning device 300 to realize automation and precise control of the assembly process, thereby significantly reducing the involvement of manual operations and improving assembly accuracy and efficiency; at the same time, the automated assembly process reduces human errors during operation and further improves the stability of product quality.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner water tray assembly equipment further includes a visual inspection device 500, which is used to obtain an image of the installation position of the water tray 600, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and quality inspection of the assembly process.

[0076] Specifically, the visual inspection device 500 takes a photo to obtain an accurate image of the installation position of the water receiving tray 600, thereby determining the exact coordinates where the water receiving tray 600 should be placed. This helps the fixture 420 to accurately move the water receiving tray 600 to the predetermined installation position, avoiding assembly errors caused by position deviation.

[0077] During the photo-taking process, the visual inspection device 500 can also perform quality inspection on the water tray 600 itself. For example, it can detect whether the water tray 600 is deformed, damaged, or has other appearance defects, thereby ensuring that only qualified water trays 600 are assembled on the air conditioner main unit.

[0078] The visual inspection device 500 greatly improves the degree of automation of the assembly process. It can automatically complete tasks such as positioning, quality inspection and assembly guidance of the water tray 600, reducing the need for manual intervention, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0079] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the visual inspection device 500 includes a visual inspection bracket 510 and a camera assembly 520 disposed on the visual inspection bracket 510 .

[0080] The visual inspection bracket 510 is disposed on one side of the conveyor line 200 to provide stable support for the camera assembly 520 .

[0081] The camera assembly 520 is mounted on the visual inspection bracket 510 and can take high-precision photos of the predetermined installation position of the water receiving tray 600 on the main structure.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the visual inspection device 500 further includes a visual inspection driving mechanism 530 .

[0083] The visual inspection drive mechanism 530 is used to drive the camera assembly 520 to move horizontally and / or vertically, so that the camera can flexibly adjust its position and shooting angle to cover the entire assembly area, thereby capturing the required image information.

[0084] During the assembly process, the visual inspection drive mechanism 530 can adjust the camera's viewing angle and position as needed to capture images from different angles, thereby comprehensively inspecting the intended installation location. The images captured by the camera assembly 520 are analyzed using an image processing algorithm to determine the exact coordinates of the intended installation location. The robotic arm device 400 then performs precise assembly based on the provided intended installation location.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the visual inspection device 500 further includes a light source assembly 540 .

[0086] The light source assembly 540 is disposed on the visual inspection bracket 510 and is used to provide lighting when acquiring an image of the installation position of the water receiving tray 600 .

[0087] The purpose of the light source assembly 540 is to ensure uniform lighting in the assembly area, reduce image quality issues caused by poor lighting conditions, and thus improve the accuracy of visual inspection.

[0088] The light source assembly 540 optimizes the light conditions in the assembly area and eliminates adverse factors such as shadows and reflections through adjustable light intensity and direction.

[0089] The light source of the light source assembly 540 can be a ring light, LED light bar, or other suitable lighting device, arranged relative to the installation area to maximize image clarity. With this configuration, the visual inspection device 500 can maintain good inspection results in different lighting environments, avoiding instability in inspection results caused by changes in ambient light.

[0090] See also Figure 2-Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the clamp 420 includes a clamp body 421 and a suction cup structure 422 provided at the bottom of the clamp body 421 .

[0091] The suction cup structure 422 is used to grasp the water receiving tray 600 by vacuum adsorption.

[0092] The suction cup structure 422 may be a sponge suction cup, which can make good contact with the surface of the water receiving tray 600 through its flexible adsorption characteristics, thereby achieving a stable gripping effect.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamp 420 further includes a support structure 423 , which is horizontally disposed on one side of the suction cup structure 422 .

[0094] The support structure 423 not only prevents the water tray 600 from shaking during the grabbing process, but also plays a key role during the installation process.

[0095] Specifically, when the clamp 420 moves the water receiving tray 600 to a predetermined position of the air conditioner indoor unit, the support structure 423 provides the necessary support force for the water receiving tray 600, ensuring that the water receiving tray 600 can be accurately installed on the main structure under the pressing operation of the clamp 420.

[0096] The clamp 420 adopts a single-sided suction cup structure 422 and a single-sided support structure 423 design, which significantly improves the gripping and installation performance of the water tray 600; it is not only suitable for water trays 600 of various shapes and materials, but also can provide reliable support and pressing effects during the assembly process, thereby improving assembly accuracy and stability.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamp 420 further includes a height measuring component 424 , which is disposed on the clamp body 421 and is used to detect a height difference between the water receiving tray 600 and the assembly area.

[0098] The height measuring component 424 can be implemented by a laser distance measuring sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc., so as to monitor the height change of the water receiving tray 600 in real time during the assembly process.

[0099] Height-measuring component 424 enables the device to automatically adjust the height of the water tray 600 during assembly, ensuring that the water tray 600 is accurately installed in the predetermined installation position of the air conditioner indoor unit. This height-measuring and adjustment function allows the present invention to accommodate water trays 600 of varying heights and shapes, improving assembly versatility and flexibility.

[0100] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the secondary positioning device 300 includes a positioning bracket 310 and a positioning platform 320 provided on the positioning bracket 310 . The positioning bracket 310 is used to support the positioning platform 320 .

[0101] Secondary positioning can unify the position and posture of the water tray 600, thereby ensuring the consistency and quality of subsequent assembly to the host. And through secondary positioning, the position of the water tray 600 can be adjusted more accurately to ensure that it meets the accuracy requirements of subsequent assembly.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, a lateral positioning component is provided on the positioning platform 320 .

[0103] The transverse positioning assembly includes a transverse positioning component 321 with an adjustable position, so as to position the docking water tray 600 according to the movement of the docking water tray 600 along the first direction through the transverse positioning component 321 .

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, a longitudinal positioning component is further provided on the positioning platform 320 .

[0105] The longitudinal positioning assembly includes a longitudinal positioning component 322 with an adjustable position, so as to position the docking water tray 600 according to the movement of the longitudinal positioning component 322 along the second direction.

[0106] The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. For example, the first direction is the width direction of the water receiving tray 600 , and the second direction is the length direction of the water receiving tray 600 .

[0107] The transverse positioning component 321 and the longitudinal positioning component 322 can be driven by components such as cylinders and motors.

[0108] By precisely controlling the water receiving tray 600 through the transverse positioning component 321 and the longitudinal positioning component 322 , it is possible to ensure that the water receiving tray 600 is in the optimal position before assembly, thereby improving the final assembly accuracy.

[0109] See also Figure 7-11 In some embodiments of the present application, the material storage device 100 includes a base 110 and a plurality of partitions 120 disposed on the base 110. An accommodating space for the water receiving tray 600 is formed between adjacent partitions 120.

[0110] Each accommodating space can accommodate stacked water receiving trays 600 .

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the material storage device 100 further includes a positioning plate 130 .

[0112] The positioning plate 130 is pivotally disposed at one end of the partition 120 and can rotate between a first position perpendicular to the partition 120 and a second position parallel to the partition 120 .

[0113] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the positioning plate 130 abuts against the end surface of the water receiving tray 600a of the first length dimension when in the first position; Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in the second position, the first length dimension is larger than the second length dimension.

[0114] By providing a rotatable positioning plate 130, the material storage device 100 can store two sizes of water receiving trays 600: long and short. That is, when storing the long water receiving tray 600a, the positioning plate 130 rotates to the first position; when storing the short water receiving tray 600b, the positioning plate 130 rotates to the second position.

[0115] The design of the positioning plate 130 allows the material storage device 100 to be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the water receiving tray 600, thereby improving the versatility and operational flexibility of the device.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, movable wheels 140 are provided at the bottom of the material storage device 100, which enable the material storage device 100 to be flexibly moved between different positions of the production line, facilitating the storage and transportation of the water tray 600 at different stages of the assembly line.

[0117] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 The material storage device 100 is equipped with a support frame 150 for supporting and positioning the base 110 so that the material storage device 100 can be firmly positioned during assembly to avoid changes in assembly position due to movement.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the material storage device 100, the manipulator device 400 and the secondary positioning device 300 of the air-conditioning water tray assembly equipment are all arranged on the same side of the conveyor line 200, while the visual inspection device 500 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor line 200.

[0119] This layout design maximizes assembly efficiency while minimizing interference between devices within the assembly area. The visual inspection device 500 is independently located on the other side of the conveyor line 200, ensuring that the inspection and assembly processes are independent of each other, ensuring accurate inspection and smooth assembly.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, two material storage devices 100 are provided, one on either side of the manipulator device 400. The two material storage devices 100 can be arranged symmetrically, allowing them to fully utilize the space on either side of the manipulator device, thus avoiding wasted space. This layout makes the entire system more compact and helps save floor space.
