Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-conditioning production equipment, in particular to a tooling structure and a production line comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] Two U-shaped lugs are placed at the front and back of the process board to support the cabinet body. When the process board enters the upper production line, the lugs need to be manually opened. When the process board reaches the end of the upper production line, it needs to be transported to the lower production line via an elevator (returner). There are many interferences during the return journey, so the lugs need to be closed.

[0003] The applicant has found that the existing technology has at least the following technical problems: the process boards delivered from the current production line still require manual opening and closing of the support ears. Manual operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has many uncertainties. It is also difficult for manual labor to meet the working requirements of the equipment being turned on for a long time, and it is difficult to devote "wholeheartedly" for a long time.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a tool for automatically opening and closing the lugs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tooling structure and a production line comprising the same, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art of manually opening and closing the lugs, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0010] The rear ear assembly is arranged on the lower return production line.

[0011] The tooling structure provided by the utility model abandons the original manual operation. By using a specific self-made tooling structure, it is only necessary to automatically open the support ear and fix the cross bar to close the support ear in the later stage, which saves time and labor and improves efficiency by 50% compared with traditional manual operation.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the automatic ear opening assembly includes a fixing frame, a driving mechanism, and a pick; wherein:

[0019] The propulsion cylinder is arranged at both ends of the connecting plate;

[0020] The paddle is mounted on the propulsion cylinder;

[0021] The inductive sensor is fixed on the fixing frame;

[0022] The solenoid valve is mounted on the fixing frame and is connected to the lifting cylinder and the propulsion cylinder.

[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, an adjustment slot is provided on the connecting plate, and the propulsion cylinder is installed in the adjustment slot, and the position of the propulsion cylinder can be adjusted through the adjustment slot.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, the adjustment slot is a waist-shaped hole.

[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, the paddle is an L-shaped structure.

[0027] As a further improvement of the present invention, the front closing ear assembly includes a front supporting ear blocking cross bar erected above the upper production line.

[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rear closing ear assembly includes a rear support ear blocking cross bar erected above the lower return production line.

[0029] The tooling structure of the utility model can be made by a series of additions through scraps, without the need for customization, which can reduce the output cost. The support ear is automatically opened through the second-level propulsion of the cylinder, and the fixed cross bar closes the support ear at a fixed point on the process plate to form an overall switch system with a simple and clear frame.

[0030] The utility model provides a production line, an upper production line, a return machine, a lower return production line and the tooling structure; wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a tooling structure, including an automatic ear opening component, a front ear closing component and a rear ear closing component; wherein:

[0044] The automatic ear opening assembly is installed on the upper production line 100 and is used to automatically open the ear 2 of the incoming process board 1;

[0045] The front closing ear assembly is arranged in the return plate machine 200 and is located at the end of the upper production line 100;

[0046] The rear ear assembly is arranged on the lower return production line 300 .

[0047] The tooling structure provided by the utility model abandons the original manual operation. By using a specific self-made tooling structure, it is only necessary to automatically open the support ear and fix the cross bar to close the support ear in the later stage, which saves time and labor and improves efficiency by 50% compared with traditional manual operation.

[0048] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the automatic ear opening assembly includes a fixing frame, a driving mechanism, and a paddle 3; wherein:

[0049] The fixed frame is installed on the top of the upper production line 100;

[0050] The driving mechanism is mounted on a fixed frame;

[0051] There are two paddles 3, which are connected to both ends of the driving mechanism respectively and can be synchronously extended or retracted under the drive of the driving mechanism.

[0052] During use, when the driving mechanism drives the paddle 3 to extend, the front and rear ears 3 on the process board 1 can be opened, thereby completing the opening process of the ears 3.

[0053] As a further improvement of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 7, a connecting plate 6, a propulsion cylinder, a solenoid valve 8, and an inductive sensor; wherein:

[0054] The lifting cylinder 7 is vertically mounted on the fixed frame;

[0055] The middle part of the connecting plate 6 is connected to the lifting cylinder 7;

[0056] The propulsion cylinders are arranged at both ends of the connecting plate 6;

[0057] The paddle 3 is mounted on the propulsion cylinder;

[0058] The induction sensor is fixed on the fixing frame;

[0059] The solenoid valve 8 is mounted on a fixed frame and is connected to the lifting cylinder 7 and the propulsion cylinder.

[0060] It should be noted that to achieve automation, a control module is also installed within the tooling structure. This module is electrically connected to the inductive sensor, solenoid valve 8, propulsion cylinder, and lift cylinder 7. It controls the start and stop of each component, receives and analyzes signals from the inductive sensor, and then controls the movement based on the analysis results. Since this part is a prior art product implemented through programming, we will not elaborate on it in detail.

[0061] To accommodate different specifications of process panels 1 and meet requirements for opening lugs 3 at different distances, in this embodiment, two propulsion cylinders are used: a primary propulsion cylinder 5 and a secondary propulsion cylinder 4. The primary propulsion cylinder 5 is mounted on a connecting plate 6, while the secondary propulsion cylinder 4 is mounted on the primary propulsion cylinder 5. This structure allows the secondary propulsion cylinder 4 to extend and retract under the drive of the primary propulsion cylinder 5. This two-stage extension and retraction allows for a wide range of adjustment of the extension distance to meet the requirements of different process panels 1.

[0062] In order to further meet the requirements of process plates of different specifications and further expand the scope of application of the tooling structure, in this embodiment, an adjustment slot 11 is provided on the connecting plate 6, and the propulsion cylinder is installed in the adjustment slot 11. The position adjustment of the propulsion cylinder can be achieved through the adjustment slot 11.

[0063] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment slots 11 are waist-shaped holes, and there are four adjustment slots 11.

[0064] In order to facilitate the opening of the support ear 3 and ensure the opening effect, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the paddle 3 is an L-shaped structure, with the vertical side fixed on the secondary propulsion cylinder 4 and the horizontal side parallel to the upper production line 100.

[0065] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, since the lug 3 is a rotatable structure, closing can be completed by simply blocking the lug 3 when the process plate 1 moves. Therefore, in this embodiment, the front lug closing assembly includes a front lug blocking crossbar 9 installed above the upper production line 100. It should be noted that the installation height of the front lug blocking crossbar 9 should be less than the height of the lug 3, but should be greater than half the height of the lug 3 to achieve the lug closing action with minimal effort.

[0066] Furthermore, the rear lug closing assembly includes a rear lug blocking crossbar 10 installed above the lower return line 300. Similarly, the installation height of the rear lug blocking crossbar 10 should be less than the height of the lug 3, but the installation height of the rear lug blocking crossbar 10 should be greater than half the height of the lug 3 to perform the lug closing operation with minimal effort.

[0067] Considering that when the process board 1 moves from the upper production line 100 to the end, it will be directly lowered to the lower return production line 300 under the drive of the return board machine 200, that is, when the front end of the process board 1 moves to the end of the upper production line 100, it will be transferred to the lower return production line 300 under the action of the return board machine 200, and the front end of the process board 1 will be reversed, and the tail end of the process board 1 will be facing the tail end of the lower return production line 300. Therefore, considering the characteristics of this action, in this embodiment, the rear closing ear component and the front closing ear component are separately arranged, and the front closing ear component of the upper production line 100 is first used to close the front support ear 3 on the process board 1, and then when the process board 1 moves to the lower return production line 300, the rear closing ear component is used to close the rear support ear 3 on the process board 1.

[0068] The tooling structure of the utility model can be made by a series of additions through scraps, without customization, and the required materials are simple (ordinary steel and profiles can be used), which can reduce the output cost. The support lug is automatically opened through the second-level propulsion of the cylinder, and the fixed cross bar closes the support lug at a fixed point on the process plate to form an overall switch system with a simple and clear framework.

[0069] The tooling structure of the utility model is only for the process plate with flippable ears. With the help of the self-made barrier, one person can be reduced on each side, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of employees and improves the degree of automation.

[0070] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a production line, an upper production line 100, a return machine 300, a lower return production line 300 and a tooling structure; wherein:

[0071] The board return machine 200 is installed between the upper production line 100 and the lower return production line 300 to transfer the process board 1 from the upper production line 100 to the lower return production line 300;

[0072] The tooling structure is installed in the upper production line 100 , the return machine 200 and the lower return production line 300 .

[0073] Design for use:

[0074] After the fixture is placed on the production line, the assembly line stops when the process board 1 reaches the front photoelectric sensor terminal, the fixture is opened, and it descends to perform a two-stage push, retracting and opening the lugs 3. The entire process runs continuously. During recycling, two recovery rails automatically block the lugs 3 as the process board 1 passes, allowing them to be laid flat, achieving a fast, convenient, and efficient operation.

[0075] The production line of the utility model solves the problems of inconvenience in manually opening the supporting lugs and wasteful action in manually closing the supporting lugs by setting a tooling structure that can automatically open and close the supporting lugs. The tooling can be more mechanized and automated, and can meet production needs for a longer period of time. To a certain extent, the automatic opening and closing tooling of the supporting lugs is more stable and saves manpower.
