DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0056] The production process of heat exchange equipment, such as air conditioners, often involves welding copper pipe joints. For example, after positioning the liquid inlet pipe or gas manifold, an operator retrieves the copper pipe joint, places it at a designated workstation, and then welds it to the pipe. To keep pace with the equipment's production cycle, operators must perform this operation continuously. This results in high labor intensity and low welding efficiency.

[0057] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention is proposed. The present invention may include a workbench 1, a telescopic panel assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3, a module moving assembly 4, and a clamping assembly 5. The telescopic panel assembly 2 is mounted on the workbench 1, with a tooling plate assembly 6 stacked with copper pipe joints 7 placed on the telescopic panel assembly 2. The lifting assembly 3 is located below the telescopic panel assembly 2 and is mounted on the workbench 1. When the lifting assembly 3 is in the raised position, it receives the tooling plate assembly 6 that falls from the telescopic panel assembly 2. The module moving assembly 4 is mounted on the workbench 1. When the lifting assembly 3 is in the lowered position, it transfers the tooling plate assembly 6 to the module moving assembly 4, allowing the module moving assembly 4 to drive the tooling plate assembly 6 to move. The clamping assembly 5 clamps the copper pipe joints 7 located on the module moving assembly 4. Thus, the copper pipe joints 7 are loaded through the coordinated actions of the various components. This can reduce the labor intensity of operators and improve product production efficiency.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-9 The embodiment of the present utility model provides a loading device, which includes a workbench 1, a telescopic plate assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3, a module moving assembly 4 and a clamping claw assembly 5, wherein:

[0059] The telescopic panel assembly 2 is mounted on the workbench 1, wherein a tooling plate assembly 6 with copper pipe joints 7 is stacked on the telescopic panel assembly 2. The lifting assembly 3 is located below the telescopic panel assembly 2 and is mounted on the workbench 1. When the lifting assembly 3 is in the jacking state, it receives the tooling plate assembly 6 that falls from the telescopic panel assembly 2. The module moving assembly 4 is mounted on the workbench 1. When the lifting assembly 3 is in the lowering state, it transfers the tooling plate assembly 6 to the module moving assembly 4, so that the module moving assembly 4 drives the tooling plate assembly 6 to move. The clamping claw assembly 5 clamps the copper pipe joint 7 located on the module moving assembly 4.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the workbench 1 is used to provide assembly of a telescopic partition assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3 and a module moving assembly 4. The telescopic partition assembly 2 is used to separate the tooling plate assembly 6 on which the copper pipe joints 7 are stacked. The lifting assembly 3 is used to realize the lifting or lowering of the tooling plate assembly 6, wherein the lifting assembly 3 is located below the telescopic partition assembly 2. During the process of the telescopic partition assembly 2 separating the tooling plate assembly 6, the telescopic partition assembly 2 can be controlled to work and retract, and the lifting assembly 3 can be in a lifted state. Thus, the telescopic partition assembly 2 can carry all the tooling plate assemblies 6, and the lifting assembly 3 can be converted to carry all the tooling plate assemblies 6. Then the telescopic partition assembly 2 is extended. When the telescopic partition assembly 2 is extended, it can be used to separate the tooling plate assembly 6 at the bottom layer and the tooling plate assembly 6 adjacent to the bottom layer. At this time, the lifting assembly 3 descends, thereby driving the bottom tooling plate assembly 6 to descend synchronously, thereby allowing the lifting assembly 3 to transport the copper pipe joints 7 on one layer of tooling plate assembly 6 each time.

[0061] The module moving assembly 4 is installed on the workbench 1. When the lifting assembly 3 is in a descending state, the tooling plate assembly 6 located on the lifting assembly 3 can contact the module moving assembly 4, so that when the lifting assembly 3 descends to the lowest position, the module moving assembly 4 carries the tooling plate assembly 6. Moreover, driven by the module moving assembly 4, the tooling plate assembly 6 makes a linear motion in the horizontal direction along the module moving assembly 4, so as to reach a position where the clamping claw assembly 5 can clamp it. The clamping claw assembly 5 is used to clamp the copper pipe joint 7 located on the module moving assembly 4, so that the loading of the copper pipe joint 7 can be achieved through the coordination of the actions of the telescopic split plate assembly 2, the lifting assembly 3, the module moving assembly 4 and the clamping claw assembly 5. This can reduce the labor intensity of the operator and improve the production efficiency of the product.

[0062] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the lifting assembly 3 may include a rotational motion output 31, a ball screw 32, a slide rail mechanism 33, and a support plate 34. The rotational motion output 31 is fixed to the workbench 1. The ball screw 32 is vertically mounted and rotatably connected to the workbench 1. It is in transmission connection with the rotational motion output 31, so that the rotational motion output 31 drives the ball screw 32 to rotate. The slide rail mechanism 33 is arranged parallel to the ball screw 32. The support plate 34 is fixedly connected to the screw nut of the ball screw 32 and the slider of the slide rail mechanism 33, respectively. The top of the support plate 34 supports the tooling plate assembly 6. When the rotational motion output 31 rotates forward, it drives the ball screw 32 to rotate, driving the support plate 34 to move upward along the slide rail mechanism 33. When the rotational motion output 31 rotates reversely, it drives the ball screw 32 to rotate, driving the support plate 34 to move downward along the slide rail mechanism 33.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotational motion output device 31 may include a motor, or a device that outputs rotational motion such as a worm gear reducer, which is not limited here. The ball screw 32 can be connected to the workbench 1 in rotation through components such as a bearing seat. The ball screw 32 is connected to the rotational motion output device 31 in a transmission manner, which can be understood as the rotational motion output by the rotational motion output device 31 can be transmitted to the ball screw 32. That is, the rotational motion output device 31 drives the ball screw 32 to rotate.

[0064] The ball screw 32 is installed vertically, and the slide rail mechanism 33 is arranged parallel to the ball screw 32. The supporting plate 34 is used to support the tooling plate assembly 6. The supporting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the screw nut of the ball screw 32, and the supporting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the slider of the slide rail mechanism 33. When the ball screw 32 is driven to rotate, due to the limiting effect of the ball screw 32, the screw nut can be driven by the forward rotation of the rotational motion output 31 to perform a lifting motion along the slide rail mechanism 33, or the screw nut can be driven by the reverse rotation of the rotational motion output 31 to perform a descending motion along the slide rail mechanism 33. In addition, since the top of the supporting plate 34 is used to place the tooling plate assembly 6, the tooling plate assembly 6 can be lifted or lowered, thereby transporting the copper pipe joint 7 on the tooling plate assembly 6.

[0065] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 5As shown, the lifting assembly 3 also includes a lifting limit block 35, which is fixed on the supporting plate 34 and cooperates with the lifting limit groove opened at the bottom of the tooling plate assembly 6 to limit the tooling plate assembly 6.

[0066] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lifting assembly 3 may further include a lifting limit block 35, which is fixed to the top of the supporting plate 34. There may be at least one lifting limit block 35. Accordingly, a lifting limit slot is defined at the bottom of the tooling plate assembly 6, corresponding to the position of the lifting limit block 35. This allows the lifting limit block 35 to form a clearance fit with the lifting limit slot, thereby limiting the position of the tooling plate assembly 6 and improving the stability of the tooling plate assembly 6 during transportation.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, there may be two lifting limit blocks 35 , and the lifting limit blocks 35 and the supporting plate 34 may be an integrated structure.

[0068] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a transmission mechanism 36 is provided between the ball screw 32 and the rotational motion output 31. The transmission mechanism 36 may include a first transmission gear 361, a second transmission gear, and a transmission chain 362. The first transmission gear 361 is close to the ball screw 32, the end of the rotational motion output 31 is coaxially fixed, the second transmission gear is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the rotational motion output 31, and the transmission chain 362 is respectively engaged with the first transmission gear 361 and the second transmission gear.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the ball screw 32 and the rotary motion output device 31 may also be provided with a transmission mechanism 36, and the transmission mechanism 36 is used to transmit the rotary motion output of the rotary motion output device 31 to the ball screw 32, thereby driving the ball screw 32 to rotate through the rotary motion output device 31. In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 36 may include a first transmission gear 361, a second transmission gear and a transmission chain 362. The transmission chain 362 is engaged with the first transmission gear 361 and is simultaneously engaged with the second transmission gear. The end of the ball screw 32 close to the rotary motion output device 31 (which can also be understood as the bottom end of the ball screw 32) is coaxially fixed with the first transmission gear 361. Wherein, coaxial fixation can be understood as two components being fixed, and the central axes of the two components coincide. The second transmission gear is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the rotational motion output device 31. Therefore, when the output shaft of the rotational motion output device 31 rotates, it drives the second transmission gear to rotate synchronously. When the second transmission gear rotates, it drives the first transmission gear 361 to rotate through the transmission chain 362, thereby driving the ball screw 32 to rotate.

[0070] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic panel splitter assembly 2 may include a panel splitter cylinder 21 and a panel splitter rod 22, wherein the panel splitter cylinder 21 is horizontally mounted on the workbench 1. The panel splitter rod 22 is slidably connected to the workbench 1 and fixedly connected to the piston rod of the panel splitter cylinder 21, wherein the panel splitter rod 22 is arranged parallel to the piston rod of the panel splitter cylinder 21. Furthermore, when the panel splitter cylinder 21 drives the panel splitter rod 22 to extend, a bearing surface is formed for stacking the tooling panel assembly 6. When the panel splitter cylinder 21 drives the panel splitter rod 22 to retract, the tooling panel assembly 6 descends onto the lifting assembly 3.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic panel splitter assembly 2 may further include a panel splitter cylinder 21 and a panel splitter rod 22. The panel splitter cylinder 21 is fixed to the workbench 1, and the panel splitter rod 22 is slidably connected to the workbench 1. There are at least two panel splitter rods 22, so that the at least two panel splitter rods 22 form a bearing surface for receiving the tooling panel assembly 6. The panel splitter rod 22 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the panel splitter cylinder 21, and the piston cylinder of the panel splitter cylinder 21 is arranged horizontally. Thus, when the panel splitter cylinder 21 extends or retracts, the panel splitter rod 22 is driven to retract from the bottom of the tooling panel assembly 6, allowing the supporting plate 34 of the lifting assembly 3 to receive the tooling panel assembly 6. When the panel splitter cylinder 21 retracts or extends, the panel splitter rod 22 is driven to extend to the bottom of the tooling panel assembly 6 to support the tooling panel assembly 6, thereby realizing the panel splitting function of the tooling panel assembly 6.

[0072] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the workbench 1 further includes a first support plate 11, a second support plate 12, a first mounting plate 13, and a second mounting plate 14. The first support plate 11, the second support plate 12, the first mounting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 14 cooperate to form a stacking cavity 101, so as to limit the position of the tooling plate assembly 6 through the stacking cavity 101. The panel splitting cylinder 21 is mounted on the first mounting plate 13 and / or the second mounting plate 14. The panel splitting rod 22 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 13 and / or the second mounting plate 14.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first support plate 11, the second support plate 12, the first mounting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 14 cooperate to form a stacking cavity 101. For example, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are arranged opposite each other, and the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14 are arranged opposite each other. The first support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14, respectively, and the positions are adjacent. The second support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14, respectively, and the positions are adjacent. For example, the first support plate 11, the second support plate 12, the first mounting plate 13, and the second mounting plate 14 can be placed vertically to form a stacking cavity 101 with a rectangular horizontal cross-section. In the horizontal cross-section, the stacking cavity 101 can match the horizontal cross-section of the tooling plate assembly 6, thereby facilitating the positioning of the tooling plate assembly 6 and preventing the tooling plate assembly 6 from shifting within the stacking cavity 101. And it can ensure that the lifting limit block 35 and the lifting limit groove are matched.

[0074] The first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14 are on opposite sides of each other. Either the first mounting plate 13 or the second mounting plate 14 is used to mount the panel splitting cylinder 21 and the panel splitting rod 22. If two panel splitting cylinders 21 are provided, one panel splitting cylinder 21 and one panel splitting rod 22 are mounted on each of the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14, respectively. This improves the load-bearing capacity of the panel splitting assembly on the tooling plate assembly 6 and enhances its operational stability.

[0075] In some preferred embodiments of the utility model, the number of the splitting rods 22 is two, and the two splitting rods 22 are distributed on both sides of the splitting cylinder 21, wherein the telescopic splitting assembly 2 also includes a connecting plate 23, and the two splitting rods 22 and the piston rod of the splitting cylinder 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, a splitter rod 22 may be provided on either side of a splitter cylinder 21 in the horizontal direction. The two splitter rods 22 and the piston rod of the splitter cylinder 21 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the splitter assembly and reducing the center offset of the piston rod of the splitter cylinder 21 during movement. The fixed connection may be achieved by bolting, welding, flange connection, threaded connection, or other methods, which are not specifically defined herein.

[0077] An optional embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the module moving assembly 4 may include a moving plate 41 and a linear module 42. The moving plate 41 is slidably connected to the workbench 1, wherein a moving through slot is defined in the middle of the moving plate 41 for the carrier plate 34 to pass through. The linear module 42 is mounted on the workbench 1, and a module slider 421 of the linear module 42 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 41. When the linear module 42 is in operation, it drives the tooling plate assembly 6 located on the moving plate 41 to slide.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the movable plate 41 is slidably connected to the workbench 1 and is arranged parallel to the linear module 42 on the workbench 1. A movable through-slot is provided in the middle of the movable plate 41 for the carrier plate 34 to pass through. The cross-sectional area of ​​the movable through-slot in the horizontal direction is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the tooling plate assembly 6 in the horizontal direction. In addition, the cross-sectional area of ​​the carrier plate 34 in the horizontal direction is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the movable through-slot in the horizontal direction. Thus, in the process of the lifting assembly 3 driving the carrier plate 34 to descend, the carrier plate 34 can continue to descend along the movable through-slot. The tooling plate assembly 6 on the carrier plate 34 cannot pass through the movable through-slot. In the case where the carrier plate 34 is lower than the movable plate 41, the tooling plate assembly 6 on the carrier plate 34 is transferred to the movable plate 41.

[0079] The module slider 421 of the linear module 42 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 41, so that when the linear module 42 is working, it can drive the tooling plate assembly 6 located on the movable plate 41 to slide and make linear motion on the horizontal plane, so that the copper pipe joint 7 on the tooling plate assembly 6 can be moved to a position where the clamping claw assembly 5 can clamp it.

[0080] An optional embodiment of the utility model, the module moving assembly 4 also includes a module limiting block, which is fixed on the moving plate 41 and cooperates with the module limiting groove opened at the bottom of the tooling plate assembly 6 to form a limit for the tooling plate assembly 6.

[0081] In this embodiment of the present invention, the module moving assembly 4 may further include a module stopper fixed to the top of the movable plate 41. The number of module stoppers may be at least one. Correspondingly, a module stopper groove is provided at the bottom of the tooling plate assembly 6 at the position corresponding to the module stopper.
