[0009] Furthermore, the first positioning mechanism includes: a blocking component, which is mounted on an installation reference; the blocking component and the second positioning mechanism are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain, and the blocking component is located downstream of the conveyor chain; the blocking part of the blocking component is disposed towards the conveyor chain, and the blocking part of the blocking component is retractably disposed along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain, so that when the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened moves to the processing station, the blocking part of the blocking component extends towards the conveyor chain to block the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened.

[0010] Furthermore, the blocking assembly includes: a first frame and a blocking rod, the first frame being mounted on an installation reference; the blocking rod being telescopically mounted on the first frame along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain; the blocking rod forming a blocking portion of the blocking assembly; and a telescopic cylinder mounted on the first frame, with the telescopic cylinder arranged parallel to the blocking rod; the free end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder being connected to the blocking rod via a connector, so that the blocking rod can be moved by the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder.

When the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened is placed on the conveyor chain, and the conveyor chain drives the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened to move along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain to the processing station, the first positioning mechanism positions the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened, thereby fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit to be fastened at the processing station. Then, the adjusting component of the second positioning mechanism adjusts the position of the pre-installed motor bracket on the air conditioner outdoor unit relative to the chassis, so that the mounting hole of the motor bracket aligns and connects with the mounting hole of the chassis. When the mounting hole of the motor bracket aligns and connects with the mounting hole of the chassis, the assembly mechanism installs fasteners in the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby fixing the motor bracket relative to the chassis, thus completing the fixing of the motor bracket. Therefore, the coordinated operation of the first positioning mechanism, assembly mechanism, and second positioning mechanism achieves automatic fixing of the air conditioner outdoor unit motor bracket, reducing reliance on manual operation, lowering labor costs and intensity, and shortening assembly time, thereby improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the first positioning mechanism ensures precise positioning of the air conditioner outdoor unit at the processing station, and the adjustment components of the second positioning mechanism precisely adjust the position of the motor bracket relative to the chassis, ensuring alignment and connection between the motor bracket mounting holes and the chassis mounting holes, avoiding errors from manual operation and improving assembly accuracy. Simultaneously, the coordinated operation of the first and second positioning mechanisms ensures alignment between the motor bracket mounting holes and the chassis mounting holes, reducing scrap rates caused by misalignment or improper tightening, saving materials and costs. Moreover, the automatic fixing of the air conditioner outdoor unit bracket by the automatic air conditioner motor bracket device ensures consistent assembly quality for each product, avoiding quality fluctuations caused by human factors, thereby improving overall product quality. This automatic air conditioner motor bracket fixing device effectively solves the technical problem in existing technologies where fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit motor bracket to the chassis still relies on manual operation.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 7According to an embodiment of this utility model, an automatic fixing device for an air conditioner motor bracket is provided, comprising: a first positioning mechanism 1, an assembly mechanism 2, and a second positioning mechanism 3. The first positioning mechanism 1 is used to position the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened at the processing station. The assembly mechanism 2 is disposed on one side of the conveyor chain 300 and is used to install fasteners in the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the mounting holes of the chassis 201 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, so that the motor bracket and the chassis 201 are relatively fixed. The second positioning mechanism 3 is disposed on one side of the conveyor chain 300 and is located on one side of the processing station. The second positioning mechanism 3 has an adjustment component 31, which is movably disposed and is used to adjust the position of the motor bracket relative to the chassis 201 so that the mounting holes of the motor bracket are aligned and connected with the mounting holes of the chassis 201.

[0028] As can be seen, the automatic fixing device for air conditioner motor bracket provided by this utility model includes: a first positioning mechanism 1, an assembly mechanism 2, and a second positioning mechanism 3. The assembly mechanism 2 and the second positioning mechanism 3 are both located on one side of the conveyor chain 300, and are on the same side; the assembly mechanism 2 and the second positioning mechanism 3 are spaced apart. When the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened is placed on the conveyor chain 300, and the conveyor chain 300 drives the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened to move along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300 to the processing station, the first positioning mechanism 1 positions the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened, thereby fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened on the processing station; then, the adjusting component 31 of the second positioning mechanism 3 adjusts the position of the pre-installed motor bracket on the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 relative to the chassis 201, so that the mounting hole of the motor bracket is aligned and connected with the mounting hole of the chassis 201. When the mounting holes of the motor bracket align and connect with the mounting holes of the chassis 201, the assembly mechanism 2 installs fasteners into the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, thereby fixing the motor bracket to the chassis 201 and completing the fixing of the motor bracket. It can be seen that through the coordinated work of the first positioning mechanism 1, the assembly mechanism 2, and the second positioning mechanism 3, the automatic fixing of the air conditioner outdoor unit motor bracket is achieved, reducing reliance on manual operation, lowering labor costs and labor intensity, and shortening assembly time, thus improving production efficiency. Furthermore, by setting the first positioning mechanism 1 to ensure that the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 is accurately positioned on the processing station, and by setting the adjustment component 31 of the second positioning mechanism 3 to accurately adjust the position of the motor bracket relative to the chassis 201, the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 are aligned and connected, avoiding errors in manual operation and improving assembly accuracy. Meanwhile, the coordinated operation of the first positioning mechanism 1 and the second positioning mechanism 3 ensures the alignment of the motor bracket mounting holes with the mounting holes of the chassis 201, thereby reducing the scrap rate caused by misalignment or improper tightening, and saving materials and costs. Furthermore, the automatic fixing device for the air conditioner motor bracket ensures consistent assembly quality for each product, avoiding quality fluctuations caused by human factors, and thus improving the overall product quality. This automatic fixing device for the air conditioner motor bracket effectively solves the technical problem in existing technologies where fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit motor bracket to the chassis still relies on manual operation.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the adjusting component 31 includes a clamping assembly 311, which is movably configured to clamp or allow clearance from the motor bracket. When the outdoor unit 200 to be fastened is located at the processing station, the clamping assembly 311 clamps the motor bracket and adjusts its position relative to the chassis 201. When the motor bracket is fixed to the chassis 201, the clamping assembly 311 allows clearance from the outdoor unit 200. This structural arrangement, through the movability of the clamping assembly 311, allows for precise position adjustment of the motor bracket while clamping it, ensuring accurate alignment between the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the mounting holes of the chassis 201. This avoids errors from manual operation and improves assembly accuracy. Simultaneously, the movable design of the clamping assembly 311 allows for flexible position adjustment according to actual needs, adapting to different models and sizes of motor brackets, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Furthermore, the clamping assembly 311 automatically avoids interference with the outdoor unit 200 after the motor bracket is fixed, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the outdoor unit 200 on the conveyor belt 300. This automatic avoidance design not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by improper manual operation.

[0030] Furthermore, after the clamping assembly 311 completes the position adjustment of the motor bracket, the clamping assembly 311 stops moving, thereby positioning the motor bracket to facilitate the installation of fasteners by the assembly mechanism 2. When the motor bracket is fixed (i.e., when the motor bracket is fixed on the chassis 201), the clamping assembly 311 releases the motor bracket and avoids the motor bracket and the air conditioner outdoor unit 200.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the clamping assembly 311 includes a clamping member 3111 and a driving member 3112. The clamping member 3111 is positioned facing the conveyor chain 300 and is extendable and retractable along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300. A clamping space 3110 for clamping a motor bracket is provided on the side of the clamping member 3111 near the conveyor chain 300, and the size of the clamping space 3110 is adjustable. The driving member 3112 is movably positioned along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300. The driving part of the driving member 3112 is extendable and retractable along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300, and the driving part of the driving member 3112 is driven to connect with the clamping member 3111, so that the clamping member 3111 can be extended or retracted by the driving member 3112. With this structural arrangement, the adjustable size of the clamping space 3110 allows it to flexibly adapt to motor brackets of different models and sizes, significantly enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Meanwhile, the drive component 3112 is movably arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300, and its drive unit is drivenly connected to the clamping component 3111. This design allows the drive component 3112 to precisely adjust the position of the clamping component 3111 along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300 through its own movement. This enables the clamping component 3111 to be precisely aligned according to the specific position of the motor bracket, ensuring that the clamping component 3111 accurately corresponds to and firmly clamps the motor bracket during each operation. In addition, the drive unit of the drive component 3112 drives the clamping component 3111 to extend and retract, allowing the clamping component 3111 to quickly complete clamping and avoidance operations, improving the system's response speed. Furthermore, the rapid switching between clamping and avoidance by the clamping component 3111 reduces auxiliary time and improves the efficiency of the entire assembly process.

[0032] Among them, the transverse direction of the conveyor chain body 300 is as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow D is the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300 as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow C.

[0033] Optionally, the drive unit 3112 is a rodless cylinder.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the adjustment component 31 further includes: a first servo module 312, located on one side of the conveyor chain 300, with its moving part movably arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300; and a clamping assembly 311 mounted above the moving part of the first servo module 312, so that the clamping assembly 311 can be moved by the first servo module 312. With this structural arrangement, the first servo module 312 can precisely control the movement of the clamping assembly 311, ensuring that the clamping component 311 accurately corresponds to and firmly clamps the motor bracket during each operation, avoiding errors in manual operation and improving assembly accuracy. Furthermore, it allows the clamping assembly 311 to be adjusted in real time according to the specific position of the motor bracket, ensuring accurate clamping operations every time. In addition, the high response speed and precise control capability of the first servo module 312 enable the clamping assembly 311 to quickly complete position adjustment and clamping operations, reducing auxiliary time and improving the efficiency of the entire assembly process.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second positioning mechanism 3 further includes a second frame 32, which is mounted on an installation reference and protrudes beyond the installation reference. A first servo module 312 is mounted on the second frame 32 and is located on the side of the second frame 32 closer to the conveyor belt 300.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive unit 3112 is mounted on the moving part of the first servo module 312, and the drive unit 3112 is located above the second frame 32, while the clamping member 3111 is located on the side of the second frame 32 near the conveyor chain body 300.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the first positioning mechanism 1 includes a blocking component 11, which is mounted on an installation reference. The blocking component 11 and the second positioning mechanism 3 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300, with the blocking component 11 located downstream of the conveyor chain 300. The blocking portion of the blocking component 11 faces the conveyor chain 300 and is extendable along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300. When the outdoor unit 200 to be fastened moves to the processing station, the blocking portion of the blocking component 11 extends towards the conveyor chain 300 to block the outdoor unit 200. This structural arrangement allows for precise control of the position of the outdoor unit 200 by using the blocking component 11, ensuring it accurately stops at the processing station, avoiding assembly errors caused by positional deviations, and improving overall assembly accuracy. Furthermore, the quick-release design of the blocking component 11 allows it to complete blocking and release operations in a short time, reducing auxiliary time and improving the efficiency of the entire assembly process. Furthermore, the automated blocking and releasing functions enable continuous operation of the production line, reducing downtime and further improving production efficiency. At the same time, the precise blocking mechanism ensures that each air conditioner outdoor unit 200 accurately stops in its designated position, avoiding positional deviations caused by human factors and improving the consistency of assembly quality.

[0038] Furthermore, when the outdoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to be fastened moves to the processing station, the blocking part of the blocking component 11 extends toward the conveyor chain 300 and extends above the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300, thereby blocking the chassis 201 of the outdoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to be fastened, thus blocking the outdoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to be fastened.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the blocking assembly 11 includes: a first frame 111, a blocking rod 112, and a telescopic cylinder 113. The first frame 111 is mounted on an installation reference. The blocking rod 112 is telescopically mounted on the first frame 111 along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300, forming a blocking part of the blocking assembly 11. The telescopic cylinder 113 is mounted on the first frame 111 and is parallel to the blocking rod 112. The free end of the telescopic rod 1131 of the telescopic cylinder 113 is connected to the blocking rod 112 via a connector 114, so that the telescopic rod 1131 of the telescopic cylinder 113 drives the blocking rod 112 to move. With this structure, the telescopic cylinder 113 can precisely control the telescopic movement of the blocking rod 112, ensuring that the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 is accurately positioned at the processing station, avoiding assembly errors caused by positional deviations, and improving overall assembly accuracy. Meanwhile, the telescopic cylinder 113 is set parallel to the blocking rod 112, and the free end of the telescopic rod 1131 of the telescopic cylinder 113 is connected to the blocking rod 112 through the connector 114. This effectively ensures that the impact generated by the outdoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to be tightened will not directly act on the telescopic cylinder 113, greatly increasing the service life of the telescopic cylinder 113.

[0040] Optionally, the telescopic cylinder 113 is the first cylinder.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the blocking assembly 11 further includes a guide block 115, which is mounted on the first frame 111 and located on one side of the telescopic cylinder 113. The guide block 115 has a guide groove adapted to the blocking rod 112, extending in the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300. The blocking rod 112 is movably disposed within the guide groove along its extension direction. The guide block 115 guides the blocking rod 112.

[0042] Optionally, there are two guide blocks 115, which are spaced apart along the moving direction of the blocking rod 112.

[0043] Optionally, the guide block 115 is a slider, and the stop rod 112 is a slide rail. This structure can effectively eliminate dimensional errors and wear generated during processing, assembly, and long-term use, thereby ensuring that the slide rail remains smooth even when extended repeatedly over a long period of time.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first positioning mechanism 1 further includes: a first positioning component 12 and a second positioning component 13. The first positioning component 12 is located on the side of the conveyor chain 300 close to the second positioning mechanism 3, and the first positioning component 12 and the second positioning mechanism 3 are spaced apart. The first positioning part 121 of the first positioning component 12 is located above the conveyor chain 300. The second positioning component 13 is disposed on the frame of the conveyor chain 300, and the second positioning component 13 is located on the side of the conveyor chain 300 away from the first positioning component 12. The second positioning part 131 of the second positioning component 13 is disposed towards the conveyor chain 300, and the second positioning part 131 is disposed opposite to the first positioning part 121. The second positioning part 131 is retractably disposed along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300. The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened on the processing station is positioned by the blocking part of the blocking component 11, the first positioning part 121 and the second positioning part 131. This structural design, through the coordinated action of the blocking component 11, the first positioning component 12, and the second positioning component 13, enables precise positioning of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 from different directions, ensuring stable and accurate positioning and avoiding positional deviations caused by a single positioning point, thus significantly improving assembly precision. The precise multi-point positioning mechanism ensures that each air conditioner outdoor unit 200 can accurately stop at its designated position, avoiding positional deviations caused by human factors and improving the consistency of assembly quality.

[0045] Optionally, the first positioning part 121 of the first positioning component 12 is located below the clamping component 311 of the second positioning mechanism 3, and the first positioning part 121 of the first positioning component 12 is located on the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300. When positioning the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened, the first positioning part 121 of the first positioning component 12 and the second positioning part 131 of the second positioning component 13 abut against the chassis 201.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning component 12 further includes a support frame 122 and a connecting rod 123. The support frame 122 is mounted on an installation reference and protrudes beyond the installation reference. The connecting rod 123 is mounted on the top of the support frame 122 and extends along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain body 300. One end of the connecting rod 123 near the conveyor chain body 300 is connected to the first positioning part 121.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the second positioning component 13 further includes a telescopic component 132, which is mounted on the frame of the conveyor chain 300 and is located on the side of the conveyor chain 300 away from the first positioning component 12. The free end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic component 132 is disposed towards the conveyor chain 300, and the second positioning part 131 is connected to the free end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic component 132 so that the second positioning part 131 can be driven to extend or retract by the telescopic rod of the telescopic component 132 along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300.

[0048] Optionally, the telescopic assembly 132 is a second cylinder.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the assembly mechanism 2 includes a robot 21 and an assembly component 22. The robot 21 is movably mounted; the assembly component 22 is mounted on the robot 21, allowing the robot 21 to move the assembly component 22 closer to or further away from the processing station. The assembly component 22 is used to install fasteners into the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, thus fixing the motor bracket relative to the chassis 201. With this structural arrangement, the robot 21 possesses a high-precision motion control system, enabling it to accurately reach the designated position according to a preset program, ensuring that the assembly component 22 is accurately aligned with the mounting holes, thereby improving assembly accuracy. Through the collaborative work of the robot 21 and the assembly component 22, the entire assembly process is automated, reducing reliance on manual operation and lowering labor costs and intensity. Furthermore, the high-precision assembly mechanism ensures consistent assembly quality for each product, avoiding quality fluctuations caused by human factors and improving overall product quality.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the assembly mechanism 2 also includes an imaging component 23, which is mounted on the assembly component 22. The imaging component 23 is used to take pictures of the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201, and to determine whether the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 are aligned and connected. The imaging component 23 is connected to the assembly component 22 to control the assembly component 22's movements based on its judgment. This structural arrangement, by using the imaging component 23, ensures precise alignment of the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 through real-time imaging and image processing, thus avoiding errors that may occur from manual visual inspection or mechanical positioning, and significantly improving assembly accuracy. Furthermore, by monitoring and providing feedback on the mounting hole alignment in real time through the imaging component 23, the control system can automatically adjust the position of the robot 21 based on the feedback, ensuring the accuracy of each assembly operation. At the same time, the real-time monitoring and automatic correction function of the imaging component 23 reduces rework time caused by misaligned mounting holes, improving overall production efficiency.

[0051] Optionally, the imaging component 23 is a camera.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, both the motor bracket and the chassis 201 have two mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201 are correspondingly arranged. The two mounting holes of the chassis 201 and the mounting holes of the motor bracket are spaced apart along the width direction of the chassis 201. The assembly component 22 includes a first mount 221 and a second mount 222, which are arranged along the width direction of the chassis 201. Both the first mount 221 and the second mount 222 are used to install fasteners in the corresponding mounting holes of the motor bracket and the chassis 201. The second mount 222 is movably arranged along the width direction of the chassis 201 to adjust the distance between the first mount 221 and the second mount 222 according to the distance between the two mounting holes on the motor bracket. With this structural design, the second mount 222 can be adjusted according to the actual distance between the two mounting holes on the motor bracket, ensuring that the first mount 221 and the second mount 222 are aligned with the corresponding mounting holes on the chassis 201 and the motor bracket, respectively, thus improving assembly accuracy. The movable design of the second mount 222 allows the assembly component 22 to adapt to motor brackets of different models and sizes, enhancing the equipment's versatility and flexibility. Simultaneously, the precise spacing adjustment mechanism ensures consistent assembly quality for each product, avoiding quality fluctuations caused by human factors and improving overall product quality. It also ensures that each fastener is correctly installed in its corresponding mounting hole, reducing scrap rates due to improper installation and saving materials and costs.

[0053] Optionally, there are two imaging components 23, each corresponding to one of the two mounting holes on the motor bracket and the two mounting holes on the chassis 201. One of the imaging components 23 is mounted on the first mount 221 and positioned above it; the other imaging component 23 is mounted on the second mount 222 and positioned above it. Both the first and second mounts correspond to one mounting hole. When it is necessary to determine whether the mounting holes on the motor bracket and the chassis 201 are aligned and connected, at least one of the two imaging components 23 can take a picture for verification.

[0054] Optionally, the fastener is a screw, the first installer 221 is a first screw machine, and the second installer 222 is a second screw machine.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the assembly component 22 further includes: a connecting frame 223 and a second servo module 224. The connecting frame 223 is connected to the connecting end of the robot 21 and is located above the connecting end of the robot 21. A first mount 221 is mounted on the connecting frame 223 and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 223. The connecting end of the first mount 221 is located above the connecting frame 223. A second mount 222 is movably disposed on the connecting frame 223 along the width direction of the chassis 201. A second servo module 224 is mounted on the connecting frame 223 and is located above the connecting frame 223. The moving part of the second servo module 224 is movably disposed along the width direction of the chassis 201. The connecting end of the second mount 222 is fixedly connected to the moving part of the second servo module 224 so that the second mount 222 can be driven to move by the second servo module 224. With this structural configuration, the second servo module 224 can precisely adjust the position of the second mount 222, ensuring that the distance between it and the first mount 221 accurately matches the distance between the two mounting holes on the motor bracket, thus improving assembly accuracy. Furthermore, the high precision and rapid response of the second servo module 224 enable the system to quickly adjust the position of the second mount 222, meeting the requirements of complex assembly tasks and improving the system's response speed.

[0056] Optionally, at least a portion of the first mount 221 is located on the side of the connecting frame 223 near the conveyor chain 300, and at least a portion of the second mount 222 is located on the side of the connecting frame 223 near the conveyor chain 300.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the automatic fixing device for the air conditioner motor bracket also includes a stop mechanism 4. The stop mechanism 4 is mounted on the conveyor chain 300 and is located upstream of the processing station. The stop part of the stop mechanism 4 is vertically adjustable along the height direction of the conveyor chain 300, so that the stop part of the stop mechanism 4 is higher or lower than the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300 by raising or lowering the stop part. With this structure, by setting the stop mechanism 4, when an air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened moves to the processing station, other air conditioner outdoor units 200 located upstream of the processing station are prevented from continuing to move forward, thereby avoiding the accumulation and chaos caused by multiple air conditioner outdoor units 200 arriving at the processing station at the same time. Furthermore, through the blocking effect of the stop mechanism 4, it is ensured that each air conditioner outdoor unit 200 can enter the processing station one by one in sequence, realizing the orderly flow on the production line. Meanwhile, once the outdoor unit 200 of the air conditioner at the processing station is tightened, the stop part of the stop mechanism 4 descends below the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300, allowing the next outdoor unit 200 to be tightened to immediately move to the processing station, reducing unnecessary waiting time and improving overall production efficiency.

[0058] Furthermore, when an air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened moves to the processing station, the stop part of the stop mechanism 4 rises above the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300, thereby stopping other air conditioner outdoor units 200 to be fastened located upstream of the processing station. When the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened at the processing station is fastened and begins to move again, the stop part of the stop mechanism 4 descends below the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300, so that the next air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened can move to the processing station.

[0059] Furthermore, the stop mechanism 4 includes a stop rod 41 and a lifting assembly 42. The lifting assembly 42 is disposed on the conveyor chain 300, and at least a portion of the lifting assembly 42 is located below the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300. The lifting rod of the lifting assembly 42 is vertically movable along the height direction, and the free end of the lifting rod of the lifting assembly 42 is connected to the stop rod 41 so as to drive the stop rod 41 to move through the lifting assembly 42. The stop rod 41 forms the stop portion of the stop mechanism 4, and extends along the transverse direction of the conveyor chain 300.

[0060] Among them, the aforementioned air conditioner outdoor units 200 to be tightened are all air conditioner outdoor units 200 to be tightened that are equipped with motor brackets, and the motor brackets are hung on the support plate 202 of the air conditioner outdoor units 200 to be tightened.

[0061] Optionally, the specific working process of the automatic fixing device for the air conditioner motor bracket is as follows:

[0062] Step 1: Upstream of the processing station, the motor bracket is pre-assembled on the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened. Then, as at least part of the conveyor belt 300 moves, the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to be fastened, with the motor bracket installed, moves toward the processing station.

[0063] Step 2: When an air conditioner outdoor unit 200 with a motor bracket to be fastened moves to the processing station, the stop part of the stop mechanism 4 rises above the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 300, thereby stopping other air conditioner outdoor units 200 to be fastened located upstream of the processing station. Simultaneously, the blocking rod 112 extends towards the conveyor chain 300 to block the chassis 201. At the same time, the second positioning part 131 of the second positioning assembly 13 extends towards the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 to push the chassis towards the first positioning part 121 of the first positioning assembly 12. Thus, the chassis is positioned by the blocking rod 112, the first positioning part 121, and the second positioning part 131, thereby achieving the positioning of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200.

[0064] Step 3: After positioning the chassis 201, the first servo module 312 drives the clamping assembly 311 to move along the width direction of the chassis 201 (i.e., the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300) to align the clamping member 3111 with the motor bracket. Then, the drive unit 3112 drives the clamping member 3111 to extend towards the motor bracket, and then the clamping member 3111 clamps the motor bracket. After clamping, the first servo module 312 drives the clamping assembly 311 to move along the width direction of the chassis 201 (i.e., the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 300) to adjust the position of the motor bracket relative to the chassis 201 so that the two mounting holes of the motor bracket are aligned and connected with the two mounting holes of the chassis 201.

[0065] Step 4: After adjustment, the second positioning mechanism 3 remains stationary, and the motor bracket is positioned by the clamping component 3111. Next, the robot 21 moves the assembly component 22 to the processing station, close to the two mounting holes of the motor bracket. Upon approach, the imaging component 23 takes a picture to determine if the mounting holes of the motor bracket and the mounting holes of the chassis 201 are aligned. If not, the position of the motor bracket relative to the chassis 201 is adjusted, and another picture is taken for verification. Once alignment is confirmed, the distance between the first mounter 221 and the second mounter 222 is adjusted according to the distance between the two mounting holes of the motor bracket. After the distance adjustment is completed, the robot 21 moves the assembly component 22 so that the fastening ends of the first mounter 221 and the second mounter 222 are aligned with the corresponding mounting holes.

[0066] Step 5: After alignment, the blower feeder blows the screw to the beak of the first installer 221 and the beak of the second installer 222. Then, the servo electric screwdriver extends, pushes out the screw, and tightens the motor bracket and chassis 201, realizing automatic tightening of the motor bracket screw.

[0067] Step 6: After the motor bracket is fixed, the robot 21 moves the assembly component 22 away from the processing station, and the clamping component 3111 releases the motor bracket and moves away from the conveyor belt 300 to avoid the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. Simultaneously, the blocking rod 112 and the second positioning part 131 both move away from the conveyor belt 300 to avoid the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. This allows the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, with the motor bracket fixed, to move downstream of the processing station along the conveyor belt 300's conveying direction. Furthermore, the stop rod of the stop mechanism 4 also descends to below the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 300, allowing the next air conditioner outdoor unit 200 with a motor bracket to be secured to move to the processing station. Then, steps 2 to 6 are repeated.
