[0040] See also Figures 1 to 13 In the specific embodiment shown, the utility model discloses an automatic assembly device for an air-conditioning motor bracket, comprising: a loading mechanism 10, a material picking and assembly mechanism 20 and a conveying and positioning mechanism 30, wherein the loading mechanism 10 is used to provide a motor bracket 40, the conveying and positioning mechanism 30 is used to convey and position the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and the material picking and assembly mechanism 20 is used to grab the motor bracket 40 and assemble it to the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0041] Specifically, through the integrated loading mechanism 10, the material picking and assembly mechanism 20 and the conveying and positioning mechanism 30, the process of automatically assembling the motor bracket 40 on the air-conditioning outdoor unit is realized, which means that from the loading, grabbing, and transportation of the motor bracket 40 to the final assembly on the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the entire process does not require direct human participation, thereby greatly improving production efficiency; in addition, it can also ensure that each motor bracket 40 is accurately assembled to the specified position of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, avoiding problems such as missing screws and inadequate assembly due to manual operation, which not only improves the quality of the product, but also reduces the rework and maintenance costs caused by assembly errors; at the same time, due to the realization of automated assembly, the tedious and repetitive assembly work that originally needed to be completed by workers is replaced by machines, thereby greatly reducing the demand for manpower, which can reduce the company's labor costs and thus reduce the company's overall production costs.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a feeding frame 11, a conveyor belt 12, a positioning groove 13 and a feeding positioning module 14. The conveyor belt 12 is installed on the feeding frame 11. The positioning groove 13 is provided on the feeding frame 11 and is located at the front end of the conveyor belt 12. The feeding positioning module 14 is installed on the feeding frame 11 and corresponds to the positioning groove 13. The conveyor belt 12 is used to transport the motor bracket 40 to the positioning groove 13. The feeding positioning module 14 is used to position the motor bracket 40.

[0043] Specifically, a number of motor brackets 40 can be evenly placed on the conveyor belt 12, and the conveyor belt 12 works to transport the first motor bracket 40 to the positioning groove 13, and then the loading and positioning module 14 works to position the motor bracket 40. The positioned motor bracket 40 is grabbed by the material picking and assembly mechanism 20, and then the above process is repeated to complete the automatic loading. In other words, through the conveyor belt 12, the mechanism can transport the motor bracket 40 from one position to another (i.e., the positioning groove 13), which realizes the continuous or intermittent movement of the motor bracket 40 on the production line, preparing for subsequent processing or assembly steps. In addition, the positioning groove 13 provides a physical restriction so that the motor bracket 40 can stay stably when it reaches the specified position, and the loading and positioning module 14 further fine-tunes the motor bracket 40 to ensure that its position is accurate, which is crucial for the subsequent processing accuracy. In addition, the design of the entire loading mechanism 10 is intended to reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency. By automatically transporting the motor bracket 40 to the specified position and positioning it, the mechanism can significantly speed up the production pace, reduce labor costs, and improve the consistency of product quality.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the loading and positioning module 14 consists of a loading and positioning cylinder and a loading push plate. The loading and positioning cylinder is fixed to the loading frame 11, and the loading push plate is connected to the loading and positioning cylinder. The positioning groove 13 is designed according to the shape of the motor bracket 40. The loading frame 11 is also equipped with a photoelectric sensor 15 at the position corresponding to the positioning groove 13. When the photoelectric sensor 15 detects the presence of the motor bracket 40 in the positioning groove 13, the conveyor belt 12 stops. The loading and positioning cylinder then activates to drive the loading push plate to move the motor bracket 40, completing the positioning of the motor bracket 40. After positioning is completed, the loading and positioning cylinder retracts and drives the loading push plate to reset.

[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the material picking and assembly mechanism 20 includes a screw feeding module 21, a robot module 22, a material picking module 23, an adjustment module 24 and an assembly module 25, the adjustment module 24 is connected to the robot module 22, the material picking module 23 and the assembly module 25 are connected to the adjustment module 24, the screw feeding module 21 is connected to the assembly module 25, the robot module 22 is used to drive the material picking module 23 to grab the motor bracket 40, the adjustment module 24 is used to adjust the position of the assembly module 25, the screw feeding module 21 is used to provide screws, and the assembly module 25 is used to assemble the screws to the motor bracket 40 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0046] Specifically, the robot module 22 and the screw feeding module 21 adopt existing public technologies, which will not be elaborated on here. Among them, the screw feeding module 21 delivers screws to the assembly module 25 through a delivery tube; the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to accurately grasp the motor bracket 40. The high precision and flexibility of the robot module 22 ensure the accuracy and stability of the grasping action; the material picking module 23 is connected to the adjustment module 24, which is responsible for performing the specific grasping action; the adjustment module 24 is connected between the robot module 22 and the assembly module 25, and acts as a bridge and regulator. It fine-tunes the position of the assembly module 25 according to the assembly requirements to ensure the accuracy and stability of the screw assembly. This adjustment capability is particularly important for motor brackets 40 and air conditioner outdoor units of different sizes and shapes; the assembly module 25 is the final execution part of the material picking and assembly mechanism 20. It receives screws from the screw feeding module 21 and assembles the screws to the motor bracket 40 and the air conditioner outdoor unit, so that the motor bracket 40 is fastened to the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the adjustment module 24 includes a mounting frame 241, an adjustment motor 242, a screw rod 243, an adjustment seat 244 and a camera 245. The mounting frame 241 is connected to the robot module 22, the adjustment motor 242 and the camera 245 are installed on the mounting frame 241, the screw rod 243 is installed on the mounting frame 241 and is transmission-connected to the adjustment motor 242, the adjustment seat 244 is sleeved on the screw rod 243, the material picking module 23 is connected to the mounting frame 241, and the assembly module 25 is connected to the adjustment seat 244.

[0048] Specifically, the adjustment motor 242 is installed on the mounting frame 241 through the motor mounting plate, the two ends of the screw rod 243 are installed on the mounting frame 241 through the bearing seat, and one end of the screw rod 243 passes through the mounting frame 241 and is transmission-connected to the adjustment motor 242. A coupling is also provided between the adjustment motor 242 and the screw rod 243. The adjustment seat 244 is assembled on the screw rod 243. When the adjustment motor 242 works, the screw rod 243 is driven to rotate to drive the adjustment seat 244 to move, so that the assembly module 25 follows the adjustment seat 244 to move to adjust the position of the assembly module 25. That is to say, the mounting frame 241 serves as the supporting structure of the entire adjustment module 24, is connected to the robot module 22, and provides a stable mounting platform for other components; the adjustment motor 242 is installed on the mounting frame 241 through the motor mounting plate, and is the power source for driving the screw rod 243 to rotate, and can accurately control the rotation speed and direction of the screw rod 243; the screw rod 243 is installed on the mounting frame 241 through the bearing seat, and one end passes through the mounting frame 241 and is connected to the adjustment motor 242 through a coupling. The rotational motion of the screw rod 243 can be converted into linear motion, pushing the adjustment seat 244 to move in the direction of the screw rod 243; the adjustment seat 244 is assembled on the screw rod 243, and when the screw rod 243 rotates, the adjustment seat 244 will move linearly in the direction of the screw rod 243, thereby driving the assembly module 25 to move; the camera 245 is used to take pictures and locate the screw holes of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, so that the assembly module 25 can assemble the screws to the motor bracket 40 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit. In addition, the mounting bracket 241 is provided with a light source 246 below the camera 245 . The light source 246 is used to provide light to the camera 245 so that the camera 245 can take clearer pictures.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the material picking module 23 includes a material picking mounting plate 231, a material picking cylinder 232 and a material picking clamp 233. The material picking mounting plate 231 is connected to the mounting frame 241, the material picking cylinder 232 is connected to the material picking mounting plate 231, and the material picking clamp 233 is transmission-connected to the material picking cylinder 232.

[0050] Specifically, the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to move to the motor bracket 40 after positioning. The material picking cylinder 232 drives the material picking claw 233 to pick up the motor bracket 40 after positioning. After the picking is completed, the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to move to the conveying positioning mechanism 30 so that the motor bracket 40 can be placed on the air conditioner outdoor unit. In other words, the material picking mounting plate 231 serves as the support structure of the material picking module 23 and is connected to the mounting frame 241 to provide a stable mounting platform for the material picking cylinder 232 and the material picking claw 233. The material picking cylinder 232 is connected to the material picking mounting plate 231 and is the power source for driving the material picking claw 233 to move, which can accurately control the opening and closing of the material picking claw 233. The material picking claw 233 is connected to the material picking cylinder 232 for gripping and carrying the motor bracket 40. The design of the material picking claw 233 is usually customized according to the shape and size of the motor bracket 40 to ensure the stability and accuracy of gripping.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the assembly module 25 includes an assembly mounting seat 251, an assembly cylinder 252, an assembly motor 253 and an assembly bird's beak 254. The assembly mounting seat 251 is connected to the adjustment seat 244, the assembly cylinder 252 is fixed to the assembly mounting seat 251, the assembly motor 253 is slidably connected to the assembly mounting seat 251 and is transmission-connected to the assembly cylinder 252, the assembly bird's beak 254 is transmission-connected to the assembly motor 253, and the screw feeding module 21 is connected to the assembly bird's beak 254.

[0052] Specifically, there are two assembly modules 25, one of which is connected to the adjustment base 244 and slidably connected to the mounting bracket 241, while the other is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 241. This means that one assembly module 25 is movable while the other is stationary. Because the spacing between the two screw fixing locations of the motor bracket 40 varies depending on the model of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the spacing between the two assembly modules 25 needs to be adjusted to meet assembly requirements. Among them, the assembly motor 253 is slidably connected to the assembly mounting seat 251 through the assembly mounting plate 255, and the assembly cylinder 252 is transmission-connected to the assembly cylinder 252 to drive the assembly motor 253 to move back and forth. The assembly bird beak 254 is slidably connected to the assembly mounting seat 251 through the bird beak mounting plate 256. A buffer spring 257 is also provided between the bird beak mounting plate 256 and the assembly mounting seat 251 to prevent the assembly bird beak 254 from sliding and shifting. The screw feeding module 21 provides screws to the assembly bird beak 254, and the assembly motor 253 drives the assembly bird beak 254 to rotate so that the screws are assembled on the motor bracket 40 and the air conditioner outdoor unit. That is, according to the model of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the distance between the two screw fixing positions of the motor bracket 40, the distance between the two assembly modules 25 is adjusted, one assembly module 25 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 241, and the other assembly module 25 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 241. By adjusting the position of the movable assembly module 25, the distance adjustment is achieved; the screw feeding module 21 provides screws to the assembly bird beak 254 according to the assembly requirements, and the screws are transported to the predetermined position of the assembly bird beak 254 through the delivery pipe; the assembly cylinder 252 receives the instruction and starts The assembly motor 253 moves forward, and the assembly motor 253 drives the assembly bird's beak 254 to rotate to assemble the screw to the predetermined position of the motor bracket 40 and the air conditioner outdoor unit; the assembly bird's beak 254 is slidably connected to the assembly mounting seat 251 through the bird's beak mounting plate 256, and a buffer spring 257 is provided between the bird's beak mounting plate 256 and the assembly mounting seat 251. The function of the buffer spring 257 is to absorb impact force during the assembly process, prevent the assembly bird's beak 254 from sliding or shifting, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the screw assembly.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figures 8 to 13As shown, the conveying and positioning mechanism 30 includes a conveying module 31, a condenser positioning module 32, a front positioning module 33, a left and right positioning module 34, a rear positioning module 35, a blocking module 36 and a bracket positioning module 37. The condenser positioning module 32, the front positioning module 33, the left and right positioning modules 34, the rear positioning module 35, the blocking module 36 and the bracket positioning module 37 are installed on the conveying module 31. The conveying module 31 is used to convey the air-conditioning outdoor unit to the positioning station. The condenser positioning module 32, the front positioning module 33, the left and right positioning modules 34, the rear positioning module 35 and the blocking module 36 cooperate to position the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The bracket positioning module 37 is used to position the motor bracket 40 placed behind the air-conditioning outdoor unit, so that the assembly module 25 assembles the screws on the motor bracket 40 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0054] Specifically, the conveying module 31 includes a conveying frame 311 and several conveying rollers 312 installed on the conveying frame 311. The air-conditioning outdoor unit is conveyed to the positioning station by the conveying rollers 312; the blocking module 36 includes a blocking cylinder 361, a blocking plate 362 and a blocking mounting plate 363. The blocking mounting plate 363 is connected to the conveying frame 311, the blocking cylinder 361 is connected to the blocking mounting plate 363, and the blocking plate 362 is transmission-connected to the blocking cylinder 361. The blocking cylinder 361 is located in front of the positioning station and is used to block the air-conditioning outdoor unit; the conveying frame 311 is also provided with a guide rod 313 and a barcode scanner 314 on the side close to the material picking assembly mechanism 20.

The design of the clamp takes into account factors such as the shape, size and material of the condenser to ensure the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0057] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the front positioning module 33 includes a front positioning cylinder 331 and a front positioning plate 332, the front positioning cylinder 331 is installed on the conveying module 31, and the front positioning plate 332 is transmission-connected to the front positioning cylinder 331; the rear positioning module 35 includes a rear positioning cylinder 351 and a rear positioning plate 352, the rear positioning cylinder 351 is installed on the conveying module 31, and the rear positioning plate 352 is transmission-connected to the rear positioning cylinder 351.

[0058] Specifically, the front positioning cylinder 331 and the rear positioning cylinder 351 are mounted on the conveyor frame 311. The front positioning cylinder 331 and the rear positioning cylinder 351 work to drive the front positioning plate 332 and the rear positioning cylinder 351 to position the front and rear ends of the air conditioner outdoor unit. In other words, the front positioning cylinder 331 is mounted on the conveyor frame 311 and serves as a power source, responsible for driving the movement of the front positioning plate 332; the front positioning plate 332 is transmission-connected to the front positioning cylinder 331 and directly acts on the front of the air conditioner outdoor unit to achieve precise positioning of the front of the air conditioner outdoor unit; the rear positioning cylinder 351 is also mounted on the conveyor frame 311 and, similar to the front positioning cylinder 331, is responsible for driving the movement of the rear positioning plate 352; the rear positioning plate 352 is transmission-connected to the rear positioning cylinder 351 and acts on the rear of the air conditioner outdoor unit to achieve precise positioning of the rear of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0059] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 、 Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the left and right positioning modules 34 include a positioning bracket 341, a pushing cylinder 342, a positioning seat 343, a left positioning portion 344 and a right positioning portion 345. The positioning bracket 341 is installed on the conveying module 31, the pushing cylinder 342 is installed on the positioning bracket 341, the positioning seat 343 is transmission-connected to the pushing cylinder 342, the left positioning portion 344 and the right positioning portion 345 are installed on the positioning seat 343 in a left-right symmetrical manner, the left positioning portion 344 and the right positioning portion 345 have the same structure, and the left positioning portion 344 includes It includes a left positioning cylinder 3441 and a left positioning plate 3442, the left positioning cylinder 3441 is installed on the positioning seat 343, and the left positioning plate 3442 is transmission-connected to the left positioning cylinder 3441; the bracket positioning module 37 includes a bracket telescopic cylinder 371, a bracket clamp cylinder 372 and a bracket positioning clamp 373, the bracket telescopic cylinder 371 is installed on the conveying module 31, the bracket clamp cylinder 372 is transmission-connected to the bracket telescopic cylinder 371, and the bracket positioning clamp 373 is transmission-connected to the bracket clamp cylinder 372.

[0060] Specifically, the positioning seat 343 is slidably connected to the positioning bracket 341, and the push cylinder 342 is activated to drive the positioning seat 343 to move back and forth along the positioning bracket 341. When the air conditioner outdoor unit reaches the positioning position, the push cylinder 342 is activated to drive the positioning seat 343 to push the air conditioner outdoor unit toward the guide rod 313 (here, the entire air conditioner outdoor unit moves toward the guide rod 313 so that the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit is between the guide rod 313 and the positioning seat 343, thereby completing the positioning of the outdoor unit chassis). After being pushed into place, the left positioning cylinder 3441 and the right positioning cylinder are activated to position the air conditioner outdoor unit in the left and right directions. When the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to move to the conveying positioning mechanism 30 and places the motor bracket 40 on the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the bracket telescopic cylinder 371 pushes out the bracket clamping cylinder 372, and the bracket clamping cylinder 372 works to drive the bracket positioning clamping claw 373 to clamp the motor bracket 40 (the purpose of positioning the motor bracket 40 here is that after the motor bracket 40 is placed on the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the screw holes on the motor bracket 40 and the threaded holes on the outdoor unit chassis are not all aligned, so external positioning is required to align the screw holes and the threaded holes for electric screw fixation), so that the assembly bird beak 254 assembles the screws to the motor bracket 40 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0061] The working principle of the automatic assembly equipment for the air-conditioning motor bracket is as follows: before turning on the equipment, select the corresponding model on the human-machine interface according to the current model of production. After the selection is completed, the motor 242 is adjusted to drive the screw 243 to rotate, thereby driving an assembly module 25 to move, so as to adjust the distance between the two assembly modules 25 to meet the assembly of the current model. At the same time, the X-axis electric cylinder 322 also moves to drive the condenser clamping plate 325 to move to the set position. After the adjustment is completed, the equipment is started, and the motor bracket 40 is transported to the positioning groove 13 via the conveyor belt 12. Then the photoelectric sensor 15 detects the motor bracket 40, and the conveyor belt 12 stops running. Then the loading positioning cylinder works to drive the loading push plate to complete the positioning of the motor bracket 40. After the positioning is completed, the loading positioning cylinder The cylinder retracts. After the retraction is completed, the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to move to the motor bracket 40 after positioning is completed. The material picking cylinder 232 works to drive the material picking claw 233 to clamp the motor bracket 40 after positioning is completed. After clamping is completed, the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to move to the conveying positioning mechanism 30. At the same time, the air-conditioning outdoor unit is transported to the blocking plate 362 through the conveying roller 312 and stops. Then the push cylinder 342 works to drive the positioning seat 343 to move, thereby pushing the entire air-conditioning outdoor unit to move toward the guide rod 313. After being pushed into place, the left positioning cylinder 3441 and the right positioning cylinder work, thereby driving the left positioning plate 3442 and the right positioning plate to clamp the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The front positioning cylinder 331 and the rear positioning cylinder 351 simultaneously The action of the front positioning plate 332 and the rear positioning plate 352 drives the front and rear positioning plates 332 and 352 to clamp the front and rear sides of the outdoor unit chassis to complete the positioning of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. After the positioning of the air-conditioning outdoor unit is completed, the barcode scanner 314 scans the QR code on the air-conditioning outdoor unit and records it into the system. At the same time, the Z-axis electric cylinder 323 drives the condenser clamping plate 325 to move downward to the position of the condenser. After moving into position, the Z-axis electric cylinder 323 stops, and the condenser positioning cylinder 324 drives the condenser clamping plate 325 to clamp the condenser, thereby completing the positioning of the condenser. After the positioning is completed, the robot module 22 drives the material picking module 23 to place the grabbed motor bracket 40 on the condenser and the outdoor unit chassis, and then the bracket telescopic cylinder 371 works to push out the bracket clamping cylinder 372. After the pushing is completed, the bracket clamping cylinder 372 moves The action drives the bracket positioning claw 373 to clamp the motor bracket 40 that has been placed. After the motor bracket 40 is positioned, the robot module 22 drives the camera 245 to move to the top of the screw hole and takes a photo of the screw hole for positioning. After the photo positioning is completed, the robot module 22 drives the assembly bird's beak 254 on the assembly module 25 to move to the screw hole. After moving into place, the assembly cylinder 252 works to drive the assembly motor 253 downward. The assembly motor 253 works to fix the screws in the assembly bird's beak 254 to the screw holes of the motor bracket 40 and the external unit chassis, thereby completing the fixation of the motor bracket 40 (each external unit's motor bracket 40 needs to be fixed with two screws. There are two sets of assembly modules 25 in the equipment, which can achieve one-time assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency).After the assembly is completed, the robot module 22 returns to the safe position, and then each positioning module resets. After the reset is completed, the assembled air conditioner outdoor unit is transported to the next station along the conveyor roller 312, and then waits for the assembly of the next air conditioner outdoor unit, and the cycle continues.

Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
