Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an automated adhesive coating device for air conditioner processing. Background Technology

[0002] In air conditioner manufacturing, the bonding between the air conditioner casing and internal components (such as insulation foam and shock-absorbing pads) is a crucial step in ensuring product performance. In traditional air conditioner manufacturing, the gluing process largely relies on manual operation or semi-automated equipment. Manual gluing suffers from low efficiency, poor accuracy in the gluing trajectory, and difficulty in controlling the uniformity of the glue application. Furthermore, it is poorly suited for complex curved surfaces or irregularly shaped workpieces. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes an automated adhesive coating equipment for air conditioner processing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An automated adhesive coating device for air conditioner processing includes a frame and a conveyor belt mounted on the frame. Along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, a first adhesive coating device, a second adhesive coating device, and a pressing device are sequentially mounted on the frame. The first adhesive coating device includes an XY moving platform and a movable seat mounted on the moving end of the XY moving platform. A lifting cylinder is mounted on the movable seat, and a first adhesive coating assembly is mounted on the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder. The second adhesive coating device includes a robotic arm and a second adhesive coating assembly mounted at the end of the robotic arm. The pressing device includes a pressure plate vertically mounted on the frame and a first drive cylinder for moving the pressure plate vertically.

[0006] In one embodiment, a guide shaft and a screw are vertically arranged on the movable seat. The screw is rotatably mounted on the movable seat via a bearing. A lifting seat is movably mounted on the guide shaft via a linear bearing. The lifting seat is threadedly fitted onto the screw. A lifting cylinder is mounted on the lifting seat. One end of the screw is provided with a rotating handle.

[0007] In one embodiment, a first blocking component is provided on the frame between the second adhesive applicator and the pressing device to drive the workpiece to stop on the conveyor belt; the first blocking component includes a baffle that is movably mounted on the frame, and a second driving cylinder for driving the baffle to move up and down.

[0008] In one embodiment, positioning components are provided on the frame, corresponding to the first glue application device, the second glue application device, and the pressing device respectively. The positioning components include a fixed plate and a movable plate. The movable plate is movably disposed on the frame and can move relatively closer to or away from the fixed plate. The frame is provided with a third drive cylinder that can drive the movable plate to move.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of limiting screws that are threadedly inserted at intervals.

[0010] In one embodiment, a second blocking component is provided on the frame on one side of the first adhesive applicator, and the second blocking component has the same structure as the first blocking component.

[0011] In one embodiment, a third blocking component is provided on the frame on one side of the second adhesive applicator, and the third blocking component has the same structure as the first blocking component.

[0012] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt is composed of several conveyor belts spliced ​​together along the same axis.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a combination of an XY moving platform and a lifting cylinder to drive the first adhesive application component in a first adhesive application device. This allows for rapid, large-area adhesive application (such as on the flat seams of an air conditioner casing) through two-dimensional planar movement. The lifting cylinder precisely controls the distance between the first adhesive application component and the workpiece, ensuring uniform adhesive thickness. A second adhesive application device, equipped with a robotic arm (such as a six-axis robotic arm), leverages its multi-degree-of-freedom characteristics to apply adhesive to complex curved surfaces (such as the arc-shaped edges of an air conditioner's air guide plate) using a three-dimensional trajectory. This overcomes the limitations of planar adhesive application, enabling dual adhesive application. The first adhesive application device rapidly covers planar areas, while the second adhesive application device precisely supplements complex areas, balancing efficiency and precision. Furthermore, the second adhesive application device, equipped with a robotic arm (such as a six-axis robotic arm), allows it to apply adhesive to different surfaces on the same side of the air conditioner component.

[0018] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for implementing this utility model. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of this utility model and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 An automated adhesive coating device for air conditioner processing is shown, comprising a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the frame 1. Along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, the frame 1 has a first adhesive coating device 3, a second adhesive coating device 4, and a pressing device 5 arranged sequentially. The first adhesive coating device 3 includes an XY moving platform 31 and a moving seat 32 mounted on the moving end of the XY moving platform 31. A lifting cylinder 33 is mounted on the moving seat 32, and a first adhesive coating assembly 34 is mounted on the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder 33. The second adhesive coating device 4 includes a robotic arm 41 and a second adhesive coating assembly 42 mounted on the end of the robotic arm 41. The pressing device 5 includes a pressure plate 43 movably mounted on the frame 1, and a first drive cylinder 44 for driving the pressure plate 43 to move up and down.

[0020] Specifically, the first and second glue application components have the same structure and are both relatively mature existing technologies. Their structural principles will not be described in detail here. They only need to meet the quantitative glue dispensing requirement, such as the high-precision quantitative glue application device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220879459U.

[0021] Furthermore, robotic arms (such as six-axis robotic arms) are relatively mature existing technologies, and their structural principles will not be elaborated here.

[0022] Air conditioner parts are conveyed sequentially to the first and second gluing devices via a conveyor belt. The first gluing device uses a combination of an XY moving platform and a lifting cylinder to drive the first gluing component, achieving rapid gluing over large areas (such as the flat seams of the air conditioner casing) through two-dimensional planar movement. The lifting cylinder can precisely control the distance between the first gluing component and the workpiece to ensure uniform glue thickness. The second gluing device is equipped with a robotic arm (such as a six-axis robotic arm), which uses its multi-degree-of-freedom characteristics to perform three-dimensional gluing on complex curved surfaces (such as the arc edges of the air conditioner's air guide plate), overcoming the limitations of planar gluing and achieving dual gluing division of labor. The planar area is covered by the high-speed coverage of the first gluing device, while the complex area is precisely supplemented by the second gluing device, balancing efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the second gluing device is equipped with a robotic arm (such as a six-axis robotic arm) so that it can apply glue to different surfaces on the same side of the air conditioner part.

[0023] After the air conditioner parts have been coated with adhesive by the first and second adhesive application devices, the operator manually places the foam to be pasted onto the coated surface of the air conditioner parts. The foam is then conveyed to the pressing device by the conveyor belt. The pressing device uses the downward pressure of the pressure plate (controlled by the first drive cylinder) to press the pasted foam in real time, ensuring that the adhesive layer is tightly adhered to the contact surface and reducing the generation of air bubbles.

[0024] Furthermore, a guide shaft 35 and a screw 36 are vertically arranged on the movable seat 32. The screw 36 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 32 via a bearing. A lifting seat 37 is movably mounted on the guide shaft 35 via a linear bearing. The lifting seat 37 is threadedly fitted onto the screw 36. The lifting cylinder 33 is mounted on the lifting seat 37. A rotating handle 61 is provided at one end of the screw 36. Specifically, the screw and guide shaft work together to allow the operator to rotate the handle to adjust the screw, thereby fine-tuning the height of the adhesive application head and avoiding fluctuations in the adhesive layer thickness caused by mechanical vibration.

[0025] Furthermore, a first blocking assembly is provided on the frame 1 between the second glue application device 4 and the pressing device 5 to cause the workpiece to stop on the conveyor belt 2; the first blocking assembly includes a baffle 6 that is movably mounted on the frame 1, and a second driving cylinder 7 for moving the baffle 6 up and down. Furthermore, positioning assemblies are provided on the frame 1 on one side of each of the first glue application device 3, the second glue application device 4, and the pressing device 5; each positioning assembly includes a fixed plate 8 and a movable plate 9, the movable plate 9 being movably mounted on the frame 1 and capable of moving closer to or further away from the fixed plate 8, and a third driving cylinder 10 is provided on the frame 1 to drive the movable plate 9 to move. Furthermore, a plurality of limit screws 11 are threadedly inserted into the fixed plate 8 at intervals.

[0026] Specifically, the positioning component, through the relative displacement of the fixed plate and the movable plate (driven by the third drive cylinder) combined with the fine adjustment of the limit screw, can adapt to the clamping requirements of workpieces of different sizes, ensuring that the workpiece does not shift during glue application. Furthermore, through the linkage control of the blocking component and the positioning component, it ensures that the workpiece is completely stationary during glue application / pressing, thus improving processing consistency.

[0027] Furthermore, a second blocking assembly is provided on one side of the first adhesive applicator 3 on the frame 1, and the second blocking assembly has the same structure as the first blocking assembly. Furthermore, a third blocking assembly is provided on one side of the second adhesive applicator 4 on the frame 1, and the third blocking assembly has the same structure as the first blocking assembly. Thus, by using the blocking assemblies (first, second, and third) to control the precise stopping of the workpiece on the conveyor belt through baffle lifting, the adhesive applicator and pressing processes are completed statically, avoiding dynamic processing errors.

[0028] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 2 is composed of several conveyor belts spliced ​​together along the same axis. The use of multi-segment spliced ​​conveyor belts allows for flexible adjustment of the conveying area length, adapting to the processing rhythm of different procedures. Each workstation (gluing, pressing) is segmented and controlled via blocking components, forming an assembly line operation.
