Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, and more particularly to a fan mounting system. Background Technology
[0002] An air conditioner fan is an important component of an air conditioning system. Its main function is to promote air circulation and help regulate indoor temperature. Air conditioner fans are usually located inside the indoor unit and distribute cool or warm air evenly throughout the room through rotation.
[0003] In the process of air conditioner manufacturing and assembly, air conditioner fans are usually loaded manually. This loading method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also results in poor positioning accuracy of the fan blades.
[0004] In the current air conditioner manufacturing and assembly process, the air conditioner fan loading efficiency is low and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a fan mounting system to solve the problem of low loading efficiency of air conditioner fans during the existing air conditioner manufacturing and assembly process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This application provides a fan mounting system, including a conveying device, a transporting device, and a locking device. The conveying device is used to convey the component to be installed to a first preset position. The transporting device is used to transport the fan to the first preset position so that the fan's connecting shaft is aligned with the connecting portion of the component to be installed. The locking device is disposed on the transporting device and is used to lock the connecting shaft and the connecting portion when the fan is in the first preset position and the fan's connecting shaft is aligned with the connecting portion of the component to be installed.
[0008] The fan mounting system provided in this application embodiment allows the locking device to connect the fan's connecting shaft to the connecting part of the component to be installed immediately after the transport device moves the fan to the first predetermined position. This eliminates the impact of the transport device on the normal operation of the locking device, reducing the time interval between the transport and locking steps during fan installation and improving the efficiency of automated fan assembly. Since the transport device does not interfere with the normal operation of the locking device, it can continuously clamp the fan while connecting the fan's connecting shaft to the connecting part of the component to be installed, preventing the fan from shaking. This prevents the fan from shaking or rotating during assembly and ensures that the connecting shaft remains aligned with the connecting part of the component during assembly, thus improving the fan's assembly accuracy.
[0009] In some embodiments, the conveying device includes a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a support member and a plurality of clamping members. The support member is provided with clearance holes. The plurality of clamping members are connected to the support member, the plurality of clamping members are distributed in a circular array, and a clamping space is formed between the plurality of clamping members for clamping the connecting shaft of the fan. At least a moving part of the locking device is accommodated within the clamping space and the clearance holes.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned technical means, since multiple clamping members are distributed along a circular array, a clamping space is formed between the multiple clamping members. The connecting shaft of the fan can be inserted into the clamping space, and the multiple clamping members can clamp the connecting shaft from different positions, which can ensure the stability of the clamping of the connecting shaft. The clearance hole can provide clearance for the locking device, so that the locking device can connect the connecting shaft to the connecting part of the part to be installed when the fan is gripped by the handling device.
[0011] In some embodiments, the locking device includes a first driving device and a second driving device. The first driving device is used to drive the mover portion to rotate, so that the mover portion locks the connecting shaft of the fan with the connection portion of the component to be installed. The second driving device is used to drive the mover to move along the axis of the clamping space and the clearance hole.
[0012] According to the above technical means, in practical applications, the connecting shaft of the locking fan and the connecting part of the component to be installed can be connected by bolts. The first driving device can drive the moving part of the locking device to rotate, and the rotation of the moving part of the locking device can drive the bolt to rotate, thereby locking the bolt onto the connecting shaft and the connecting part of the component to be installed. During the process of the moving part driving the bolt to rotate, as the depth of the bolt entering the threaded hole increases, the second driving device can drive the moving part to move closer to the component to be locked, so that the moving part can maintain the state of connection with the bolt, thereby ensuring that the moving part can lock the bolt onto the connecting part of the connecting shaft and the component to be installed.
[0013] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly further includes a rotating member and a third driving device. The rotation axis of the rotating member is collinear with the axis of the annular array of multiple clamping members. The rotating member is provided with multiple guide grooves, which are arranged circumferentially along the rotation axis of the rotating member. Each guide groove includes a first end and a second end, with the first end located on the side of the second end closer to the rotation axis of the rotating member, and the central angle between the first end and the second end relative to the rotation axis being greater than a certain value. The multiple clamping members are slidably connected within the multiple guide grooves. The third driving device is used to drive the rotating member to rotate, thereby causing the multiple clamping members to move synchronously towards or away from the rotation axis.
[0014] According to the above-mentioned technical means, from the first end to the second end, the guide groove gradually extends from the center of the rotating component to the edge, and the extension direction of the guide groove does not coincide with the radial direction of the rotating component. When the rotating component rotates, the multiple guide grooves can drive multiple clamping components to move synchronously, so that the multiple clamping components move synchronously towards or away from the center of the annular array of multiple clamping components.
[0015] In some embodiments, a first gear ring is provided around the circumference of the rotating component. The third driving device includes a first driving gear and a first driving motor. The first driving gear meshes with the first gear ring. The first driving motor is connected to the first driving gear and is used to drive the first driving gear to rotate, thereby driving the rotating component to rotate.
[0016] According to the above-mentioned technical means, when the first drive gear rotates, it can drive the first gear ring to rotate, thereby driving the rotating part to rotate. The first drive motor can serve as the power source for the rotating part, providing power for its rotation.
[0017] In some embodiments, the support member is provided with a plurality of radial grooves, which are arranged in an array along the annular array axis of a plurality of clamping members. The plurality of clamping members are slidably connected to the plurality of radial grooves.
[0018] According to the above-mentioned technical means, multiple radial grooves can limit the sliding direction of multiple clamping parts to ensure that multiple clamping parts move in the direction of rotation close to or away from the rotation axis of the rotating part.
[0019] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly further includes a rotary drive. The rotary drive is connected to the support and is used to drive the support and the plurality of clamping members to rotate about an annular array axis of the plurality of clamping members.
[0020] According to the above-mentioned technical means, after multiple clamping components grasp the fan, the drive component can drive the support component and the multiple clamping components to rotate. At this time, the position of the fan held by the multiple clamping components in three-dimensional space will not change; only their setting angle will change. In this way, the setting angle of the fan held by the multiple clamping components can be adjusted so that the fan can be assembled onto the part to be installed at an appropriate angle.
[0021] In some embodiments, a second gear ring is provided on the periphery of the support member. The rotation drive member includes a second drive gear and a second drive motor. The second drive gear meshes with the second gear ring. The second drive motor is connected to the second drive gear and is used to drive the second drive gear to rotate, thereby driving the support member to rotate.
[0022] According to the above-mentioned technical means, when the second drive gear rotates, it can drive the second gear ring to rotate, and the rotation of the second gear ring can drive the support member to rotate together. The second drive motor can serve as a power source to provide power for the rotation of the second drive gear.
[0023] In some embodiments, the fan mounting system further includes a loading station. The loading station is used to fix the fan in a second preset position. A conveying device is used to move the fan located in the second preset position to a first preset position.
[0024] Based on the above technical means, the loading station can provide a precise fixed position for the fan, thereby reducing the error caused by loading during the fan assembly process.
[0025] In some embodiments, the fan mounting system further includes an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device is used to acquire an image of the end of the fan's connecting shaft when the fan is in a second preset position. A rotation drive is used to drive a support member and multiple clamping members to rotate around the center of a ring array of multiple clamping members based on the image acquired by the image acquisition device.
[0026] According to the above technical means, the image acquisition device can detect the position information of each component at the end of the connecting shaft. The rotary drive can be controlled to start according to the information detected by the image acquisition device. The rotary drive drives the support and multiple clamping components to rotate according to the information detected by the image acquisition device, thereby causing the fan clamped by the multiple clamping components to rotate to a certain angle position.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0044] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly, for example, as a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0046] In related technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioner fan 200 in related technologies. The fan 200 typically includes a connecting shaft 210 and blades 220. The interior of the connecting shaft 210 is a hollow rotating shaft, and a connector 230 is usually provided in the hollow part of the connecting shaft 210. The connector 230 is used to connect to the output end of the motor so that the connecting shaft 210 can rotate under the drive of the output end of the motor.
[0047] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connector 230 can be a connecting plate, which is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the connecting shaft 210. The connecting plate has several connecting holes. Workers can pass bolts through the connecting holes on the connecting plate and connect the bolts to the output end of the motor. In this way, the motor can drive the fan 200 to rotate together during its rotation.
[0048] During the process of installing the air conditioner fan 200 into the air conditioner, in order to avoid damage to the blades 220, the staff usually move the air conditioner fan 200 by gripping and holding the connecting shaft 210 to move the fan 200 to the installation position.
[0049] On automated production lines, robotic arms are typically used to handle the fan 200. After the robotic arm grasps the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200, it obstructs the end of the connecting shaft 210. Therefore, the fan 200 needs to be moved to the installation position by the robotic arm first, and then the air conditioner fan is assembled by a robotic arm equipped with a locking device. This makes the assembly process of the fan 200 cumbersome and the assembly efficiency of the fan 200 low.
[0050] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a fan mounting system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is one of the schematic diagrams showing the positional relationship between the fan mounting system 100 and the component 300 to be installed provided in the embodiments of this application. The fan mounting system 100 may include a conveying device 1, which is used to convey the component 300 to be installed to a first preset position.
[0051] In practical applications, the conveying device 1 can transport the workpiece 300 to be installed after processing in the previous stage to the first preset position, thereby connecting the air conditioner fan installation station with the previous stage station to achieve automated production.
[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The fan mounting system 100 may also include a transport device 2, which is used to move the fan 200 ( Figure 1 ) is moved to the first preset position so that the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 ( Figure 1 The fan 200 is positioned opposite the connecting part of the component to be installed 300. In this way, the conveying device 2 can move the fan 200 to the position corresponding to the component to be installed 300, thereby realizing the automated feeding of the fan 200.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is one of the partial structural schematic diagrams of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The fan mounting system 100 may further include a locking device 3, which is disposed on the transport device 2 and is used to secure the fan 200 ( Figure 1 The fan 200 is located in the first preset position, and the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 is in the first preset position. Figure 1 ) and the 300 to be installed Figure 2 When the connecting parts are opposite each other, the connecting shaft 210 and the connecting part are locked together.
[0054] In this way, during actual application, when the conveying device 2 moves the fan 200 to the first predetermined position, the locking device 3 can connect the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 with the connecting part of the component to be installed 300. The conveying device 2 will not affect the normal operation of the locking device 3, thereby reducing the time interval between the conveying step and the locking step during the installation of the fan 200, so as to improve the efficiency of the automated assembly of the fan 200.
[0055] Meanwhile, since the conveying device 2 does not affect the normal operation of the locking device 3, the conveying device 2 can continuously clamp the fan 200 while the locking device 3 connects the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 to the connecting part of the component to be installed 300, thus preventing the fan 200 from shaking. This prevents the fan 200 from shaking or rotating during assembly and ensures that the connecting shaft 210 remains aligned with the connecting part of the component to be installed 300 during assembly, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the fan 200.
[0056] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a second schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the fan mounting system 100 and the component 300 to be installed, as provided in this application embodiment. In actual application, the conveying device 1 may include a conveying component 11 and a third limiting component 12. The conveying component 11 is used to convey the component 300 to be installed to a first preset position. The third limiting component 12 is used to clamp the component 300 to be installed on both sides along the conveying direction of the conveying component 11, so as to restrict the component 300 to be installed to the first preset position.
[0057] This ensures the positional accuracy of the component 300 during the assembly of the fan 200 onto the component 300.
[0058] To ensure the positional accuracy of the component 300 to be installed, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The fan mounting system 100 may further include a first limiting component 7, which abuts against the opposite sides of the component 300 to be mounted along the width direction of the conveyor 11. Thus, when the conveyor 11 reaches the first preset position, the first limiting component 7 can clamp the component 300 along the width direction of the conveyor 11, thereby preventing instability of the component 300 during assembly and ensuring assembly accuracy.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first limiting component 7 may include a first limiting member 71 and a second limiting member 72, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the conveyor 11 along the width direction of the conveyor 11. At least a portion of the first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 is used to move in a direction that moves closer to or further away from each other.
[0060] In practical applications, when at least a portion of the first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 moves toward each other, the part to be installed 300 can be pushed during this movement, thereby adjusting the position of the part to be installed 300 along the width direction of the conveyor 11. This improves the positional accuracy of the part to be installed 300 during the assembly process.
[0061] When at least a portion of the first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 moves away from each other, the first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 no longer restrict the installation member 300, and the installation member 300 can move normally with the conveyor 11.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting member 71 may include a first clamping cylinder 711 and a first clamping block 712. The first clamping block 712 is connected to the output end of the first clamping cylinder 711 and is used to move towards or away from the second limiting member 72 under the drive of the first clamping cylinder 711.
[0063] The second limiting member 72 may include a second clamping cylinder 721 and a second clamping block 722. The second clamping block 722 is connected to the output end of the second clamping cylinder 721 and is used to move towards and away from the first limiting member 71 under the drive of the second clamping cylinder 721.
[0064] In this way, when the first clamping block 712 moves toward the second limiting member 72 under the drive of the first clamping cylinder 711, and the second clamping block 722 moves toward the first limiting member 71 and away from it under the drive of the second clamping cylinder 721, the first clamping block 712 and the second clamping block 722 can be clamped on opposite sides of the component to be installed 300 along the width direction of the conveying member 11, thereby improving the positional accuracy and stability of the component to be installed 300.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a second partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The conveying device 2 may include a clamping assembly 21, which may include a support member 211 and multiple clamping members 212. The multiple clamping members 212 are connected to the support member 211 and are distributed in a circular array. A clamping space is formed between the multiple clamping members 212 for clamping the fan 200. Figure 1 ) connecting shaft 210 ( Figure 1 ).
[0066] Since multiple clamping members 212 are distributed along a ring array, a clamping space is formed between the multiple clamping members 212. The connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 can be inserted into the clamping space. The multiple clamping members 212 can clamp the connecting shaft 210 from different positions, which can ensure the stability of clamping the connecting shaft 210.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the conveying device may further include a conveying drive assembly 22. The conveying drive assembly 22 is connected to the clamping assembly 21 and is used to move in three-dimensional space to drive the clamping assembly 21 to move in three-dimensional space, thereby driving the fan 200 (…). Figure 1 It moves within three-dimensional space.
[0068] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transport drive assembly 22 may include a robot arm 221, and a mounting plate 222 is provided at the movable end of the robot arm 221. The clamping assembly 21 may be mounted on the mounting plate 222.
[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The support member 211 is provided with a clearance hole 2111, and at least the moving part of the locking device 3 is housed within the clamping space and the clearance hole 2111. In this way, when multiple clamping members 212 are clamped on the outside of the connecting shaft 210, the moving part of the locking device 3 can pass through the clearance hole 2111 and enter the hollow structure in the middle of the connecting shaft 210, thereby connecting the connecting shaft 210 with the connecting part of the component to be installed 300.
[0070] In practical applications, the clearance hole 2111 can provide clearance for the locking device 3 so that the locking device 3 can connect the connecting shaft 210 to the connecting part of the component to be installed 300 when the fan 200 is gripped by the handling device.
[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a third partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The locking device 3 may include a first driving device 32, which is used to drive the moving part to rotate so that the moving part locks the fan 200. Figure 1 ) connecting shaft 210 ( Figure 1 ) and the 300 to be installed Figure 2 The connecting part of the locking fan 200. In practical application, the connecting shaft 210 of the locking fan 200 and the connecting part of the component to be installed 300 can be connected by bolts. The first driving device 32 can drive the moving part of the locking device 3 to rotate. The rotation of the moving part of the locking device 3 can drive the bolt to rotate, thereby locking the bolt on the connecting shaft 210 and the connecting part of the component to be installed 300.
[0072] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first driving device 32 can be a drive motor 321, and the moving part of the locking device 3 can be a screwdriver bit 33. The drive motor 321 can drive the screwdriver bit 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the screwdriver bit 33 can drive the bolt to rotate, thereby causing the bolt to lock the connecting shaft 210 ( Figure 1 ) and the 300 to be installed Figure 2 The connecting parts are locked together.
[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, the locking device 3 may further include a second driving device 34, which drives the moving part to move along the axis of the clamping space and the clearance hole 2111. Thus, as the moving part rotates the bolt, and the bolt penetrates deeper into the threaded hole, the second driving device 34 can drive the moving part closer to the part to be locked 300. Figure 2 The movement is directed in the direction of the bolt, so that the mover can remain connected to the bolt, thereby ensuring that the mover can lock the bolt onto the connecting shaft 210. Figure 1 On the connection part between the component to be installed 300 and the component to be installed.
[0074] In some embodiments, the locking device 3 may further include a sliding bracket 35. The sliding bracket 35 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 222 along a direction parallel to the axis of the clearance hole 2111. A second driving device 34 is disposed on the mounting plate 222 and is used to drive the sliding bracket 35 to move along a direction parallel to the axis of the clearance hole 2111. A first driving device 32 is disposed on the sliding bracket 35.
[0075] In this way, the second drive device 34 can drive the sliding bracket 35 to move in a direction parallel to the axis of the clearance hole 2111, thereby driving the second drive device 34 and the mover connected to the second drive device 34 to move in a direction parallel to the axis of the clearance hole 2111.
[0076] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, the second drive device 34 can be a drive cylinder, and the output end of the drive cylinder is connected to the sliding bracket 35. The first drive device 32 can be a drive motor, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to a screwdriver bit 33. During the process of screwdriver bit 33 tightening the bolt, the drive cylinder can push the sliding bracket 35 to move, thereby making the screwdriver bit 33 maintain the bolt connection, so that the screwdriver bit 33 can tighten the bolt on the connecting shaft 210. Figure 1 ) and 300 parts to be installed Figure 2 On the connecting part of ).
[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The fourth partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in this application embodiment shows that the clamping assembly 21 may further include a rotating member 213, the rotation axis of which is collinear with the annular array axis of the plurality of clamping members 212. The rotating member 213 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 2131, which are arranged circumferentially along the rotation axis of the rotating member 213.
[0078] The guide groove 2131 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is located on the side of the second end that is close to the rotation axis of the rotating member 213, and the central angle between the first end and the second end relative to the rotation axis is greater than 0. Thus, from the first end to the second end, the guide groove 2131 gradually extends from the center of the rotating member 213 to the edge, and the extension direction of the guide groove 2131 does not coincide with the radial direction of the rotating member 213.
[0079] Multiple clamping members 212 are slidably connected within multiple guide grooves 2131. In this way, when the rotating member 213 rotates, the multiple guide grooves 2131 can drive the multiple clamping members 212 to move synchronously, so that the multiple clamping members 212 move synchronously towards or away from the center of the annular array of multiple clamping members 212.
[0080] When multiple clamping members 212 move synchronously towards the center of the circular array of multiple clamping members 212, the accommodating space formed between the multiple clamping members 212 decreases, and the multiple clamping members 212 can interact with the fan 200. Figure 1 ) connecting shaft 210 ( Figure 1 The clamping members 212 contact the outer wall of the connecting shaft 210, thereby clamping the fan 200 to the outside. When the multiple clamping members 212 move synchronously away from the center of the array of multiple clamping members 212 in a circular array, the accommodating space formed between the multiple clamping members 212 increases, and the multiple clamping members 212 can release the connecting shaft 210, thereby lowering the fan 200.
[0081] In order to drive the rotating component 213 to rotate, in some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8The fifth partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in this application embodiment shows that the clamping assembly 21 may further include a third driving device 214. The third driving device 214 is used to drive the rotating member 213 to rotate, thereby causing the multiple clamping members 212 to move synchronously towards or away from the rotation axis. In this way, the third driving device 214 can provide power for the rotation of the rotating member 213, thereby driving the rotating member 213 to rotate.
[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the support member 211 is provided with a plurality of radial grooves 2112, which are arranged in an array along the axis of the annular array of the plurality of clamping members 212. The plurality of clamping members 212 are slidably connected to the plurality of radial grooves 2112. In this way, the plurality of radial grooves 2112 can limit the sliding direction of the plurality of clamping members 212, so as to ensure that the plurality of clamping members 212 move in a direction close to or away from the rotation axis of the rotating member 213.
[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, a first gear ring 2132 is provided on the circumference of the rotating component 213. The third driving device 214 may include a first driving gear 2141 and a first driving motor 2142, with the first driving gear 2141 meshing with the first gear ring 2132. Thus, when the first driving gear 2141 rotates, it can drive the first gear ring 2132 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating component 213 to rotate.
[0084] The first drive motor 2142 is connected to the first drive gear 2141 and is used to drive the first drive gear 2141 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating component 213 to rotate. In this way, the first drive motor 2142 can serve as a power source for the rotating component 213, providing power for the rotation of the rotating component 213.
[0085] In practical applications, the number of rotations of the first drive motor 2142 can be precisely controlled by the control system, thereby ensuring that the rotating component 213 rotates at a suitable angle, so as to ensure that the multiple clamping components 212 can hold the fan 200 ( Figure 1 This generates sufficient clamping force, and can also prevent the multiple clamping parts 212 from exerting excessive clamping force on the fan 200, which could damage the fan 200.
[0086] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the clamping member 212 may include a clamping part 2121 and a sliding part 2122 connected to each other. The clamping part 2121 is slidably connected to the side of the support member 211 away from the first drive motor 2142, and the sliding part 2122 passes through the radial groove 2112. Figure 8It is inserted into the guide groove 2131. In this way, the clamping part 2121 and the first drive motor 2142 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support member 211. When the clamping part 2121 clamps the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200, there will be no interference between the fan 200 and the first drive motor 2142.
[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The clamping assembly 21 may further include a rotary drive 215, which is connected to the support 211 and is used to drive the support 211 and multiple clamping members 212. Figure 7 The support 211 rotates around the annular array axis of multiple clamping members 212. In this way, when the support 211 rotates, it can drive the multiple clamping members 212 to rotate together with the support 211.
[0088] In practical applications, after the multiple clamping members 212 grip the fan 200, the drive member 215 can drive the support member 211 and the multiple clamping members 212 to rotate. At this time, the fan 200 held by the multiple clamping members 212 ( Figure 1 The position of the fan 200 in three-dimensional space remains unchanged; only its setting angle changes. This allows adjustment of the setting angle of the fan 200 held by multiple clamps 212, enabling the fan 200 to be assembled at an appropriate angle onto the component 300 to be installed. Figure 2 )superior.
[0089] It is understandable that in practical applications, when the support member 211 and the multiple clamping members 212 rotate under the drive of the rotary drive member 215, the rotating member 213 needs to rotate synchronously to keep the rotating member 213 and the support member 211 relatively stationary, thereby keeping the multiple clamping members 212 clamping the fan 200. It should be noted that how to control the synchronous rotation of the rotating member 213 and the support member 211 is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail in this application.
[0090] In order to enable the rotary drive 215 to drive the support 211 and multiple clamping members 212 to rotate, in some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, a second gear ring 2113 is provided on the periphery of the support member 211, and the rotary drive member 215 may include a second drive gear 2151 and a second drive motor 2152. The second drive gear 2151 meshes with the second gear ring 2113. Thus, when the second drive gear 2151 rotates, it can drive the second gear ring 2113 to rotate, and the rotation of the second gear ring 2113 can drive the support member 211 to rotate together.
[0091] The second drive motor 2152 is connected to the second drive gear 2151 and is used to drive the second drive gear 2151 to rotate, thereby driving the support member 211 to rotate. In this way, the second drive motor 2152 can serve as a power source to provide power for the rotation of the second drive gear 2151.
[0092] In some embodiments, the fan mounting system 100 may further include a loading station for fixing the fan 200 in a second preset position. In practical applications, the loading station can provide a precise fixed position for the fan 200, thereby reducing errors caused by loading during the assembly process of the fan 200.
[0093] The conveying device 2 is used to move the fan located at the second preset position to the first preset position. In actual application, since the position of the second preset position is fixed, the positional accuracy of the fan 200 when it is in the second preset position is high. The conveying device 2 can accurately move the fan 200 from the second preset position to the first preset position, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the fan 200.
[0094] To achieve the goal of confining the fan 200 to a second preset position, in some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is the seventh partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The fan mounting system 100 may further include a fan positioning component 4. The fan positioning component 4 is disposed at the loading station and is used to position the fan 200 ( Figure 1 The fan 200 is fixed in the second preset position. The fan positioning assembly 4 may include a positioning platform 41 and a positioning member 42. The positioning member 42 is connected to the positioning platform 41 and is used to support the fan 200 and restrict the fan 200 to the second preset position.
[0095] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 This is the eighth partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The fan mounting system 100 may further include a storage rack 6 for storing multiple fans 200. Figure 1 The storage rack 6 is provided with multiple limiting parts 61, which can be limiting rods, and the fan 200 can be sleeved on the limiting rods.
[0096] The transport device 2 can transport the fan 200, which is set on the limiting part 61, to the positioning member 42. The positioning member 42 can limit the fan 200 so that the fan 200 is in the second preset position.
[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the positioning member 42 may include a support platform 421 and a plurality of positioning blocks 422. The support platform 421 is used to abut against the end of the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 to support the fan 200. Figure 1 Multiple positioning blocks 422 are distributed along a circular array, used for connecting shaft 210 respectively. Figure 1 The inner wall of the fan 200 is pressed against the fan to confine the fan 200 to the second preset position.
[0098] In this way, the support platform 421 can limit the positional accuracy of the fan 200 in the height direction, and the multiple positioning blocks 422 can limit the positional accuracy of the fan 200 in the horizontal direction, thereby limiting the fan 200 to a relatively precise position in three-dimensional space, which makes it easier for the transport device 2 to accurately transport the fan 200 to the first preset position.
[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, Figure 12 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the fan mounting system 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The fan mounting system 100 may further include an image acquisition device 5, which is used for the fan 200 ( Figure 1 When the fan 200 is in the second preset position, the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 is sampled. Figure 1 Image of the end of ). Rotary drive 213 ( Figure 8 ) for driving support component 211 for images acquired by image acquisition device 5 Figure 8 ) and multiple clamping components 212 ( Figure 7 It rotates around the center of a ring array of multiple clamping elements 212.
[0100] In this way, the image acquisition device 5 can detect the position information of each component at the end of the connecting shaft 210. The rotation drive 215 can be started according to the information detected by the image acquisition device 5. The rotation drive 215 drives the support 211 and multiple clamping members 212 to rotate according to the information detected by the image acquisition device 5, thereby causing the fan 200 clamped by the multiple clamping members 212 to rotate to a certain angle position.
[0101] This ensures that all parts on the connecting shaft 210 of the fan 200 can be mounted on the component 300. Figure 2 The corresponding positions reserved on the fan 200 are compared with each other to ensure the assembly accuracy of the fan 200 onto the component 300 to be installed.
[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the fan positioning assembly 4 may further include a support rod 43, one end of which is connected to the positioning platform 41, and the other end extends away from the positioning platform 41. A support platform 421 is connected to the end of the support rod 43 that is away from the positioning platform 41.
[0103] The support platform 421 is provided with a clearance opening 423, which is used to allow the fan 200 to pass through when the fan 200 is in the second preset position. Figure 1 ) connecting shaft 210 ( Figure 1 The image acquisition device 5 is set relative to the fan 200 so that it can acquire images of the end of the connecting shaft 210.
[0104] In practical applications, the accommodating space can provide a setting space for the image acquisition device 5, and the clearance opening 423 can provide clearance for the image acquisition device 5 so that the imaging component of the image acquisition device 5 can acquire information from the end of the connecting shaft 210.
[0105] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
