Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a shock-absorbing foot pad mounting clamp and shock-absorbing pad mounting system. Background Technology

[0002] In the air conditioner manufacturing process, a single production line often produces multiple models of outdoor units. One crucial step is accurately placing rubber vibration damping pads onto the three bolts on the outdoor unit's chassis, followed by lubrication. However, existing manufacturing processes present several challenges in this stage. First, because different models of outdoor units use different sizes of vibration damping pads, existing installation equipment often only accommodates pads of specific sizes and cannot flexibly adjust to accommodate multiple sizes. This necessitates frequent replacement or adjustment of installation equipment when switching production lines to produce different models, significantly reducing production efficiency. Second, the distance between the three bases of different compressor models also varies, further complicating the installation of vibration damping pads. Existing equipment typically cannot automatically adjust to these variations, often requiring manual intervention, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces the automation level of the production line.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing air conditioning vibration damping pads to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in the related technology, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a shock-absorbing pad mounting fixture. This fixture can adapt to the clamping of different shock-absorbing pads by adjusting the position of the clamping structure on the flange, thereby adapting to the clamping operation of shock-absorbing pads of compressors of different sizes, and helping to improve the installation efficiency of compressor shock-absorbing pads.

[0005] A shock-absorbing foot pad mounting fixture includes a flange, on which a plurality of sliding grooves are provided, and each sliding groove is provided with a slidable clamping structure.

[0006] The clamping structure includes a mounting component and a gripper. The mounting component is slidably disposed on the slide groove, and the gripper is fixed on the mounting component.

[0007] In practical applications, the slides are designed to be straight or curved to adapt to different layout requirements. The inner wall of the slide is smooth to ensure that the installed parts slide smoothly without obstruction.

[0008] The clamping structure includes a mounting component and grippers. The bottom of the mounting component is equipped with a slide rail that matches the slide groove, allowing it to move along the slide groove. The grippers are fixed to the mounting component by fastening screws and are used to directly clamp the shock-absorbing pads. The fastening screws ensure stability and reliability during the clamping process.

[0009] During use, depending on the compressor model and the size of the shock-absorbing pads, the operator first loosens the fastening screws of the clamping structure, adjusts the position of the mounting parts on the slide rail, and ensures that the distance between each clamping jaw matches the layout of the shock-absorbing pads. After adjustment, tighten the screws to fix the position, place the shock-absorbing pads between the clamping jaws, and tighten again to ensure that the shock-absorbing pads are securely clamped. Then, align the entire clamp with the base of the compressor to complete the installation of all shock-absorbing pads in one go.

[0010] The fixture's adaptive design reduces the time spent on manual measurement and adjustment, enabling quick and accurate installation of vibration-damping pads and significantly improving production efficiency. This fixture is compatible with various sizes and models of compressor vibration-damping pads, eliminating the need for frequent fixture changes and enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the production line. Furthermore, this fixture reduces the additional costs associated with fixture changes, while simultaneously increasing production efficiency and lowering overall production costs.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting component is provided with a locking screw, which passes through the flange and is fixedly connected to the mounting component.

[0012] The flange is also provided with scale lines, which are set along the length of the slide groove.

[0013] Locking screws are installed on the mounting component, passing through the flange and securing it to the component. Once the clamping structure is in place, the locking screws securely lock the mounting component in a specific position on the slide rail, preventing movement during clamping and ensuring installation accuracy. Scale lines are marked on the flange along the length of the slide rail, providing operators with a visual reference for precise adjustment of the clamping structure and accurate alignment of the shock-absorbing feet.

[0014] In practical use, the operator first adjusts the position of the clamping structure on the slide groove according to the size and layout of the compressor's vibration damping pads and the scale lines on the flange. After adjustment, tighten the locking screws to securely lock the mounting parts in the slide groove. Next, place the vibration damping pads between the clamps and tighten the locking screws to ensure the vibration damping pads are firmly clamped. Finally, align the entire clamp with the compressor's base position to complete the installation of all vibration damping pads in one go.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the gripper includes a driving body, on which two opposing connecting arms are provided, and the driving body drives the two connecting arms to move relative to each other.

[0016] Each of the connecting arms is provided with a clamping plate, and a clamping position is formed between two clamping plates.

In this embodiment, the precise clamping of the shock-absorbing pads is achieved by driving the main body to precisely control the movement of the connecting arms, thereby improving installation accuracy.

[0022] A robotic arm is disposed on one side of the mounting position, and a shock-absorbing foot pad mounting fixture is disposed on the robotic arm.

[0023] Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad feeding module is responsible for conveying the shock-absorbing pads from the storage area to the feeding port. The shock-absorbing pad buffer module includes a first conveyor line with a feeding port and a discharging port. The shock-absorbing pad feeding module is located on one side of the feeding port to orderly convey the shock-absorbing pads onto the first conveyor line. The chassis feeding mechanism includes a second conveyor line for conveying the chassis, with mounting positions provided on the second conveyor line. The discharging port of the first conveyor line is located on one side of the mounting positions to ensure that the shock-absorbing pads can be accurately aligned with the mounting positions on the chassis. A robotic arm is located on one side of the mounting positions, and a shock-absorbing pad mounting fixture is mounted on the robotic arm. The robotic arm can move precisely to align the fixture with the mounting positions on the chassis, achieving automated installation of the shock-absorbing pads.

[0024] During operation, the shock-absorbing pad feeding module transports the shock-absorbing pads to the feeding port of the first conveyor line. The first conveyor line transports the shock-absorbing pads to the discharge port, while also acting as a buffer to ensure an orderly and stable supply of shock-absorbing pads. The chassis feeding mechanism transports the chassis to the installation position on the second conveyor line. The robotic arm moves the shock-absorbing pad installation fixture to the installation position, and the fixture precisely grips the shock-absorbing pad. The robotic arm then moves the fixture to the corresponding position on the chassis, completing the installation of the shock-absorbing pad. The system operates in a cycle, achieving continuous and efficient installation of shock-absorbing pads.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a shock-absorbing pad arrangement module is also included, wherein the shock-absorbing pad arrangement module is disposed between the feed port of the first conveyor line and the shock-absorbing pad feeding module;

[0026] The shock-absorbing pad sorting module includes a sorting bracket, a sorting conveyor line is provided on the sorting bracket, the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor line is set along the width direction of the first conveyor line, a sorting mounting block is provided on the sorting conveyor line, and a sorting channel is provided on the sorting mounting block;

[0028] The connecting structure is used to guide the shock-absorbing pads in the split channels into the buffer channels.

[0029] During operation, the shock-absorbing pad feeding module transports the shock-absorbing pads to the sorting conveyor line of the sorting module. The sorting conveyor line, according to a preset program, sorts the shock-absorbing pads through sorting channels to their corresponding buffer channels. A connecting structure ensures a smooth transition of the shock-absorbing pads from the sorting channels to the buffer channels. The chassis feeding mechanism transports the chassis to the installation position. The robotic arm moves the shock-absorbing pad installation fixture to the buffer channel and picks up the shock-absorbing pad. The robotic arm moves the fixture to the corresponding position on the chassis, completing the installation of the shock-absorbing pad. The system operates in a cycle, achieving continuous and efficient installation of shock-absorbing pads.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a blocking module is provided at the connection between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line; the blocking module includes a blocking cylinder and a blocking plate, the blocking cylinder is disposed at one end of the first conveyor line, the blocking plate is fixed on the piston rod of the blocking cylinder, and the blocking cylinder drives the blocking plate to move closer to or away from the buffer channel.

[0031] A blocking module is installed at the connection between the first and second conveyor lines. The blocking module includes a blocking cylinder and a blocking plate. The blocking cylinder is located at one end of the first conveyor line, and the blocking plate is fixed to the piston rod of the blocking cylinder. The blocking cylinder drives the blocking plate closer to or further away from the buffer channel to control the stopping and starting of the shock-absorbing pads on the first conveyor line. When it is necessary to pass the shock-absorbing pads, the blocking cylinder drives the blocking plate away from the buffer channel, allowing the shock-absorbing pads to pass; when it is necessary to stop the passing, the blocking cylinder drives the blocking plate closer to the buffer channel, preventing the shock-absorbing pads from moving forward.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a pressing mechanism is further provided on the first conveyor line. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing bracket, a pressing cylinder, and a pressing plate. The pressing bracket spans across the first conveyor line. The pressing cylinder is fixed to the output end of the pressing bracket. The pressing plate is fixed to the piston rod of the pressing cylinder. The pressing mechanism is located on one side of the blocking module.

[0033] The pressing mechanism, in conjunction with the blocking module, presses down the shock-absorbing pads on the first conveyor line to prevent subsequent shock-absorbing pads from colliding with the preceding pads during conveying, which could cause the shock-absorbing pads to become misaligned and affect the gripping of subsequent shock-absorbing pads.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of positioning structures are further provided on the first conveyor line, and the plurality of positioning structures are arranged along the transmission direction of the first conveyor line.

[0035] The positioning structure includes a positioning bracket and positioning rings. The positioning bracket spans the first conveyor line. Multiple positioning rings are provided on the positioning bracket. Each positioning ring is movably mounted on the positioning bracket, and a positioning channel for positioning the shock-absorbing pad is formed between two adjacent positioning rings.

[0036] The positioning channel is used to define the position of the shock-absorbing pad when it passes through the positioning structure. By adjusting the position of the positioning structure, the position of the shock-absorbing pad in the buffer channel can be changed, thereby adjusting the position of the shock-absorbing pad when it is sent out, so as to facilitate subsequent gripping.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, an oiling module is also included, which is located downstream of the installation position along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line.

[0038] The oiling module includes an oiling bracket, an oiling drive device, and an oiling structure. The oiling bracket spans the second conveyor line, the oiling drive device is fixed on the oiling bracket, and the oiling structure is installed at the output end of the oiling drive device.

[0039] The oiling structure includes an oiling substrate and a plurality of oiling heads. The oiling substrate is fixedly connected to the output end of the oiling drive device. A groove is provided on the oiling substrate, and the oiling heads are movably disposed in the groove. An oil pump is also provided on the second conveyor line, and the output end of the oil pump is connected to the oiling heads.

[0040] The oiling module is positioned downstream of the installation location along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line, ensuring that the shock-absorbing pads are lubricated after installation and positioning. The oiling module mainly consists of an oiling bracket, an oiling drive unit, and an oiling structure. The oiling bracket spans the second conveyor line, providing a stable support platform for the oiling drive unit and the oiling structure. The oiling drive unit, fixed to the oiling bracket, is responsible for precisely controlling the movement of the oiling structure. This device can adjust the speed and position of the oiling head according to production needs, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the oiling effect.

[0041] The oiling base plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the oiling drive device, serving as the mounting base for the oiling heads. The oiling base plate has grooves that guide and support the movement of the oiling heads. Several oiling heads are movably mounted in the grooves of the oiling base plate. These oiling heads are responsible for evenly applying lubricating oil to the surface of the shock-absorbing pads or specific areas. Parameters such as the number of oiling heads, their spacing, and the amount of oil applied can be adjusted according to production needs. An oil pump is located on the second conveyor line, providing a stable supply of lubricating oil to the oiling heads. The output end of the oil pump is connected to the oiling heads, ensuring that the lubricating oil can be smoothly delivered to the oiling heads for application.

[0042] During operation, the position of the lubricating head is first adjusted according to the compressor's model and size, ensuring it aligns with the compressor's base. When the shock-absorbing pad moves along the second conveyor line to below the lubrication module, the lubrication drive device activates, driving the lubrication plate downwards. Simultaneously, the lubrication pump starts working, delivering lubricating oil to the lubricating head. As the lubricating head moves downwards, it evenly applies lubricating oil to the surface or specific areas of the shock-absorbing pad, completing the lubrication process. Subsequently, the shock-absorbing pad continues moving along the second conveyor line to the next process step.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the second conveyor line is further provided with a horizontal positioning structure and a vertical positioning structure; the horizontal positioning structure includes a horizontal driving device and a horizontal positioning plate, the horizontal driving device is fixed to the edge of the first conveyor line, the horizontal positioning plate is disposed at the output end of the horizontal driving device, and the horizontal driving device drives the horizontal positioning plate to move horizontally above the second conveyor line;

The vertical positioning bracket spans the second conveyor line, the vertical driving cylinder is fixed on the vertical positioning bracket, and the vertical baffle is fixed on the output end of the vertical driving cylinder.

[0045] The horizontal positioning structure is used to position the compressor chassis horizontally, and the vertical positioning structure is used to position the compressor chassis horizontally. The cooperation of the two positioning modules can effectively limit the position of the compressor chassis, thereby making the compressor chassis firmly positioned to facilitate the installation of the shock-absorbing pads.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the oiling structure further includes a graduated positioning disk, which is fixed at the output end of the oiling drive device. The oiling substrate is disposed below the graduated positioning disk and connected to the graduated positioning disk via a connecting shaft. The side wall of the graduated positioning disk is provided with graduated lines.

[0047] In actual operation, as the shock-absorbing pads slowly move along the second conveyor line to the area below the oiling module, the oiling drive device moves the oiling structure to the preset oiling position. At this time, the operator can precisely adjust the angle of the oiling substrate according to the scale lines on the positioning plate to ensure that the oiling head can apply lubricant to the shock-absorbing pads at the optimal angle. Subsequently, the oiling head begins to work under the drive of the oiling drive device, evenly applying lubricant to the designated area of ​​the shock-absorbing pads.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two opposing baffles are provided on the second conveyor line, the length direction of the baffles being along the length direction of the second conveyor line, and the chassis is placed between the two baffles;

[0049] The second conveyor line is also provided with a waiting position, which is located upstream of the installation position along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line.

[0050] The waiting position is located upstream of the installation position. When the chassis is transported to the waiting position, it will pause temporarily, awaiting instructions to install the shock-absorbing foot pads. This design not only makes the installation process more orderly but also ensures that each chassis receives accurate installation.

[0051] In actual operation, when the chassis moves to the waiting position along the second conveyor line, the system automatically detects the chassis's positioning. Once the chassis reaches the waiting position and stabilizes, the system issues a command to start the installation process. At this time, the oiling module and the positioning structure work together to perform precise oiling and positioning of the chassis. Subsequently, the shock-absorbing pads are accurately installed in the designated positions on the chassis.

[0052] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0053] This utility model provides a shock-absorbing pad mounting fixture, which includes a flange with several sliding grooves, each groove having a slidable clamping structure. The clamping structure includes a mounting component and grippers. The mounting component is slidably mounted on the sliding groove, and the grippers are fixed to the mounting component. In actual use, the mounting component can slide smoothly along the sliding groove. The grippers can be fixed to the mounting component with fastening screws to ensure stability during clamping. This fixture can adjust the position of the clamping structure on the flange according to different compressor sizes or models, allowing each clamping structure to clamp multiple shock-absorbing pads at different positions simultaneously, and accurately place the shock-absorbing pads on the three base feet of the compressor, meeting the installation requirements of compressor shock-absorbing pads. Because the fixture can automatically adapt to shock-absorbing pads of different sizes, it reduces manual adjustment time, thereby improving the installation efficiency of compressor shock-absorbing pads. It also reduces costs incurred due to frequent fixture changes, while improving production efficiency and further reducing overall production costs.

[0054] This application also provides a shock-absorbing pad installation system including the aforementioned shock-absorbing pad mounting fixture. The system includes a shock-absorbing pad feeding mechanism, a chassis feeding mechanism, and a robotic arm. The robotic arm uses the shock-absorbing pad mounting fixture to place the shock-absorbing pad onto the compressor chassis of the chassis feeding mechanism, thus achieving mutual installation between the shock-absorbing pad and the compressor base. This installation system has a wide range of applications and can meet the installation requirements of shock-absorbing pads for different compressors. Attached Figure Description

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0064] In the air conditioner manufacturing process, a single production line often produces multiple models of outdoor units. One crucial step is accurately placing rubber vibration damping pads onto the three bolts on the outdoor unit's chassis, followed by lubrication. However, existing manufacturing processes present several challenges in this stage. First, because different models of outdoor units use different sizes of vibration damping pads, existing installation equipment often only accommodates pads of specific sizes and cannot flexibly adjust to accommodate multiple sizes. This necessitates frequent replacement or adjustment of installation equipment when switching production lines to produce different models, significantly reducing production efficiency. Second, the distance between the three bases of different compressor models also varies, further complicating the installation of vibration damping pads. Existing equipment typically cannot automatically adjust to these variations, often requiring manual intervention, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces the automation level of the production line.

[0065] Based on this, this application provides a shock-absorbing foot pad mounting clamp.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a shock-absorbing foot pad mounting fixture, including a flange 1, on which a plurality of sliding grooves are provided, and each sliding groove is provided with a slidable clamping structure 2;

[0068] The clamping structure 2 includes a mounting member 21 and a gripper 22. The mounting member 21 is slidably disposed on the slide groove, and the gripper 22 is fixed on the mounting member 21.

After adjustment, the screws are tightened to fix the position, the shock-absorbing pads are placed between the clamps 22 and tightened again to ensure that the shock-absorbing pads are securely clamped. Then, the entire clamp is aligned with the base position of the compressor, and the installation of all shock-absorbing pads is completed in one go.

[0072] The fixture's adaptive design reduces the time spent on manual measurement and adjustment, enabling quick and accurate installation of vibration-damping pads and significantly improving production efficiency. This fixture is compatible with various sizes and models of compressor vibration-damping pads, eliminating the need for frequent fixture changes and enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the production line.

After the clamping structure 2 is adjusted into position, the locking screw securely locks the mounting part 21 in a specific position on the slide groove, preventing movement of the mounting part 21 during clamping and ensuring installation accuracy. Scale lines 340 are set on the flange 1 along the length of the slide groove, providing an intuitive reference for the operator to accurately adjust the position of the clamping structure 2 and achieve precise alignment of the shock-absorbing pads.

[0076] In actual use, the operator first adjusts the position of the clamping structure 2 on the slide groove according to the size and layout of the compressor's vibration damping pads, referring to the scale line 340 on the flange 1. After adjustment, tighten the locking screws to securely lock the mounting piece 21 in the slide groove. Next, place the vibration damping pad between the jaws 22 and tighten the fastening screws to ensure the vibration damping pad is firmly clamped. Finally, align the entire clamp with the compressor's base position to complete the installation of all vibration damping pads in one go.

[0077] In this embodiment, the gripper 22 includes a driving body 221, on which two opposing connecting arms 224 are provided, and the driving body 221 drives the two connecting arms 224 to move relative to each other.

[0078] Each of the connecting arms 224 is provided with a clamping plate 222, and a clamping position 223 is formed between two clamping plates 222.

The blocking cylinder 810 is disposed at one end of the first conveyor line 310, and the blocking plate 820410 is fixed on the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 810. The blocking cylinder 810 drives the blocking plate 820410 to move closer to or away from the buffer channel 320.

[0093] A blocking module 800 is disposed at the connection between the first conveyor line 310 and the second conveyor line 400. The blocking module 800 includes a blocking cylinder 810 and a blocking plate 820410. The blocking cylinder 810 is disposed at one end of the first conveyor line 310, and the blocking plate 820410 is fixed to the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 810. The blocking cylinder 810 drives the blocking plate 820410 to move closer to or further away from the buffer channel 320, controlling the stopping and releasing of the shock-absorbing pads on the first conveyor line 310. When it is necessary to transfer the shock-absorbing pads, the blocking cylinder 810 drives the blocking plate 820410 away from the buffer channel 320, allowing the shock-absorbing pads to pass; when it is necessary to stop the transfer, the blocking cylinder 810 drives the blocking plate 820410 closer to the buffer channel 320, blocking the shock-absorbing pads from moving forward.

[0094] In this embodiment, a pressing mechanism 360 is also provided on the first conveyor line 310. The pressing mechanism 360 includes a pressing bracket, a pressing cylinder 370, and a pressing plate 380. The pressing bracket spans across the first conveyor line 310. The pressing cylinder 370 is fixed to the output end of the pressing bracket. The pressing plate 380 is fixed to the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 370. The pressing mechanism 360 is located on one side of the blocking module 800.

[0095] The pressing mechanism 360 works in conjunction with the blocking module 800 to press down the shock-absorbing pads on the first conveyor line 310, preventing subsequent shock-absorbing pads from colliding with the preceding shock-absorbing pads during conveying, which could cause the shock-absorbing pads to become misaligned and affect the subsequent gripping of the shock-absorbing pads.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 310 is further provided with a plurality of positioning structures, and the plurality of positioning structures are arranged along the transmission direction of the first conveyor line 310.

[0097] The positioning structure includes a positioning bracket 330 and a positioning ring 350. The positioning bracket 330 spans across the first conveyor line 310. Multiple positioning rings 350 are provided on the positioning bracket 330. Each positioning ring 350 is movably mounted on the positioning bracket 330, and a positioning channel for positioning the shock-absorbing pad is formed between two adjacent positioning rings 350.

[0098] The positioning channel is used to limit the position of the shock-absorbing pad when it passes through the positioning structure. By adjusting the position of the positioning structure, the position of the shock-absorbing pad in the buffer channel 320 can be changed, thereby adjusting the position of the shock-absorbing pad when it is sent out, so as to facilitate subsequent gripping.

[0099] In this embodiment, an oiling module 600 is also included, which is disposed downstream of the mounting position along the conveying direction of the second conveying line 400.

[0100] The oiling module 600 includes an oiling bracket 610, an oiling drive device 620, and an oiling structure. The oiling bracket 610 spans across the second conveyor line 400. The oiling drive device 620 is fixed on the oiling bracket 610. The oiling structure is installed at the output end of the oiling drive device 620.

[0101] The oiling structure includes an oiling substrate 650 and a plurality of oiling heads 630. The oiling substrate 650 is fixedly connected to the output end of the oiling drive device 620. A sliding groove is provided on the oiling substrate 650, and the oiling heads 630 are movably disposed in the sliding groove. An oil pump is also provided on the second conveyor line 400, and the output end of the oil pump is connected to the oiling head 630.

[0102] The oiling module 600 is positioned downstream of the installation location along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 400, allowing the shock-absorbing pads to be lubricated after installation and positioning. The oiling module 600 mainly includes an oiling bracket 610, an oiling drive device 620, and an oiling structure. The oiling bracket 610 spans the second conveyor line 400, providing a stable support platform for the oiling drive device 620 and the oiling structure. The oiling drive device 620 is fixed to the oiling bracket 610 and is responsible for driving the oiling structure with precise motion control. This device can adjust the moving speed and position of the oiling head 630 according to production needs to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the oiling effect.

[0103] The oiling base plate 650 is fixedly connected to the output end of the oiling drive device 620, serving as the mounting base for the oiling head 630. A groove is provided on the oiling base plate 650 to guide and support the movement of the oiling head 630. Several oiling heads 630 are movably disposed in the groove of the oiling base plate 650. These oiling heads 630 are responsible for evenly applying lubricating oil to the surface or specific areas of the shock-absorbing pads. Parameters such as the number, spacing, and amount of oil applied by the oiling heads 630 can be adjusted according to production needs. An oil pump is installed on the second conveyor line 400 to provide a stable supply of lubricating oil to the oiling heads 630. The output end of the oil pump is connected to the oiling head 630 to ensure that the lubricating oil can be smoothly delivered to the oiling head 630 for application.

[0104] During operation, the position of the oiling head 630 is first adjusted according to the compressor's model and size, ensuring it aligns with the compressor's base. When the shock-absorbing pad moves along the second conveyor line 400 to below the oiling module 600, the oiling drive device 620 is activated, driving the oiling base plate 650 downwards. Simultaneously, the oil pump starts working, delivering lubricating oil to the oiling head 630. As the oiling head 630 moves downwards, it evenly applies lubricating oil to the surface or specific areas of the shock-absorbing pad, completing the lubrication process. Subsequently, the shock-absorbing pad continues to move along the second conveyor line 400 to the next process step.

[0105] In this embodiment, the second conveyor line 400 is further provided with a horizontal positioning structure 700 and a vertical positioning structure; the horizontal positioning structure 700 includes a horizontal driving device 710 and a horizontal positioning plate 720, the horizontal driving device 710 is fixed to the edge of the first conveyor line 310, and the horizontal positioning plate 720 is disposed at the output end of the horizontal driving device 710, the horizontal driving device 710 drives the horizontal positioning plate 720 to move horizontally above the second conveyor line 400;

[0106] The vertical positioning structure includes a vertical positioning bracket 330, a vertical driving cylinder, and a vertical baffle 410. The vertical positioning bracket 330 spans across the second conveyor line 400, the vertical driving cylinder is fixed on the vertical positioning bracket 330, and the vertical baffle 410 is fixed on the output end of the vertical driving cylinder.

[0107] The horizontal positioning structure 700 is used to position the compressor chassis horizontally, and the vertical positioning structure is used to position the compressor chassis horizontally. The cooperation of the two positioning modules can effectively limit the position of the compressor chassis, thereby making the compressor chassis firmly positioned to facilitate the installation of the shock-absorbing pads.

[0108] In this embodiment, the oiling structure further includes a scale positioning disk 640, which is fixed at the output end of the oiling drive device 620. The oiling substrate 650 is disposed below the scale positioning disk 640 and connected to the scale positioning disk 640 via a connecting shaft. The side wall of the scale positioning disk 640 is provided with scale lines 340.

[0109] In actual operation, when the shock-absorbing pads slowly move along the second conveyor line 400 to below the oiling module 600, the oiling drive device 620 drives the oiling structure to the preset oiling position. At this time, the operator can precisely adjust the angle of the oiling substrate 650 according to the scale line 340 on the scale positioning plate 640 to ensure that the oiling head 630 can apply lubricant to the shock-absorbing pads at the optimal angle. Subsequently, the oiling head 630 starts working under the drive of the oiling drive device 620, evenly applying lubricant to the designated area of ​​the shock-absorbing pads.

[0110] In this embodiment, two opposing baffles are provided on the second conveyor line 400, the length direction of the baffles is along the length direction of the second conveyor line 400, and the chassis is placed between the two baffles;

[0111] The second conveyor line 400 is also provided with a waiting position 420, which is located upstream of the installation position along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 400.

[0112] Waiting position 420 is located upstream of the installation position. When a chassis is transported to waiting position 420, it will pause temporarily, awaiting instructions to install the shock-absorbing foot pads. This design not only makes the installation process more orderly but also ensures that each chassis receives accurate installation.

[0113] In actual operation, when the chassis moves to the waiting position 420 along the second conveyor line 400, the system automatically detects the chassis's positioning. Once the chassis reaches the waiting position 420 and stabilizes, the system issues a command to start the installation process. At this time, the oiling module 600 and the positioning structure work together to perform precise oiling and positioning of the chassis. Subsequently, the shock-absorbing pads are accurately installed in the designated positions on the chassis.

[0114] Example 3

[0115] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for installing a shock-absorbing pad, which is implemented based on the shock-absorbing foot pad installation system described above.

[0116] This method enables efficient, precise, and automated installation of shock-absorbing pads, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and ensuring installation quality.
