Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner repair and manufacturing technology, and in particular to an air conditioner panel correction device. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of the air conditioning unit's exterior structure, the air conditioner panel not only protects internal components but also directly impacts the overall aesthetics and installation compatibility. During air conditioner production and subsequent maintenance, external forces during transportation, assembly, or use often cause bending or deformation of the panel. Therefore, straightening devices are needed to reshape and repair it, restoring its original shape and assembly precision. Air conditioner panel straightening is a critical process for ensuring product appearance quality and assembly performance, significantly influencing overall product quality control.

[0003] CN202111311341.7 discloses a device for shaping curved air conditioner panels. This device uses a straightening component, where workers apply downward force to press down on the curved air conditioner panel, thereby straightening the part that needs to be shaped. It also includes a detection component and a triggering component. During the straightening process, as the curved air conditioner panel deforms and the chord height increases, the long arm of the trigger rod drives a roller to roll along the curved surface and compress a spring. When the short arm of the trigger rod touches the detection rod, the worker can stop pressing down, thus achieving a direct judgment of the straightening range. This avoids reliance on experience, improves the standardization of the on-site straightening process, and has a lower manufacturing cost.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent still has significant shortcomings: in actual operation, the device lacks an automatic centering and positioning function, and the air conditioning panel needs to be manually adjusted repeatedly before it can be accurately clamped and corrected, which not only increases the labor intensity but also greatly reduces work efficiency; in addition, manual alignment is prone to errors, resulting in inaccurate correction position, affecting the consistency and stability of the correction effect, and making it difficult to meet the needs of modern mass production, high efficiency and high precision.

[0005] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an air conditioner panel straightening device to solve this problem. This straightening device should, while ensuring straightening accuracy, possess automatic positioning and rapid clamping functions, significantly improving the efficiency and consistency of straightening operations, reducing the degree of manual intervention, and better meeting the requirements of the air conditioning manufacturing and repair industry for efficient and high-quality processing technology. This will provide strong support for improving the quality of air conditioning products and the development of manufacturing automation. Utility Model Content

[0008] The top two sides of the operating table are provided with side centering components, and the other two sides of the top are provided with end centering components.

[0009] The side centering component includes a top plate, and push plates are provided on both sides of the bottom of the top plate. One side of the push plate is connected to the end of the top plate through a horizontal push structure.

[0010] The end centering component includes a clamping frame and a movable plate connected to the bottom of the clamping frame. The bottom of the operating table is provided with a bidirectional synchronous movement structure connected to the two movable plates.

[0011] The top plate has side mounting brackets fixedly connected to both ends, and one side of the side mounting bracket is bolted to the side wall of the operating table.

[0012] The top two sides of the operating table and the corresponding positions at the bottom of the two clamping frames are provided with moving slots that are adapted to the moving plate.

[0013] The pushing structure includes a pushing cylinder installed on one side of the side mounting bracket. The output end of the pushing cylinder is connected to one side of the pushing plate. A sliding groove is provided on the top of the top plate, and a slider adapted to the sliding groove is connected to the top of the pushing plate.

[0014] The clamping frame has a clamping plate inside, and a lifting cylinder is installed on the top of the clamping frame. The output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the top of the clamping plate.

[0015] The bidirectional synchronous moving structure includes two mounting plates connected to the bottom of the operating table and a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected between the mounting plates. A drive motor that cooperates with the bidirectional lead screw is installed on one side of the mounting plate, and one end of each of the two moving plates is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional lead screw.

[0016] This utility model discloses an air conditioner panel straightening device. By setting up side centering components and end centering components, and combining the linkage control of a horizontal pushing structure and a bidirectional synchronous moving structure, it effectively solves the problem of the lack of automatic centering and positioning function in the prior art.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] First, the air conditioner panel to be corrected is placed in the center area of ​​the control panel 1. The correction module 2 is located at the top center of the control panel 1 and is used to perform specific correction actions. Its bottom is connected to the control panel 1 through a horizontal movement module, which can be finely adjusted laterally according to the width of the panel to accommodate panels of different sizes. At the same time, a side centering component and an end centering component are respectively set on the top two sides of the control panel 1. The side centering component includes a top plate 3, and push plates 8 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 3. The push plates 8 are connected to the ends of the top plate 3 through a horizontal pushing structure. After activation, it can... The system moves synchronously towards the center to achieve clamping and centering of the panel in the left and right directions. The end centering component includes a clamping frame 4 and a moving plate 5 connected to its bottom. The two moving plates 5 are driven by a bidirectional synchronous moving structure set at the bottom of the operating table 1, which drives the clamping frame 4 to clamp or release synchronously in the front and back directions, thereby achieving automatic centering and positioning of the air conditioning panel in the front and back directions. After the clamping action in all directions is completed, the panel is stably fixed in the center position of the operating table 1. At this time, the correction module 2 is activated and applies precise pressure correction to the deformed parts according to the preset path to ensure that the correction force is evenly distributed and accurately applied.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, an air conditioner panel straightening device has side mounting brackets 7 fixedly connected to both ends of the top plate 3. One side of the side mounting bracket 7 is bolted to the side wall of the operating table 1. Specifically, by fixing the side mounting brackets 7 to both ends of the top plate 3 and bolting one side of the side mounting bracket 7 to the side wall of the operating table 1, the top plate 3 and its push plate 8 and other components are securely installed on the operating table 1, which enhances the structural stability and reliability of the entire side centering component and achieves the effect of improving the overall rigidity and durability of the equipment.

[0033] The pushing structure includes a pushing cylinder 6 mounted on one side of the side mounting bracket 7. The output end of the pushing cylinder 6 is connected to one side of the pushing plate 8. A sliding groove 9 is provided on the top of the top plate 3, and a slider 10 adapted to the sliding groove 9 is connected to the top of the pushing plate 8. Specifically, by setting up the pushing structure to include a pushing cylinder 6 mounted on one side of the side mounting bracket 7, the output end of the pushing cylinder 6 connected to one side of the pushing plate 8, and a sliding groove 9 provided on the top of the top plate 3, with a slider 10 adapted to the sliding groove 9 connected to the top of the pushing plate 8, when the pushing cylinder 6 is activated, the pushing plate 8 slides smoothly along the sliding groove 9, achieving precise clamping of the panel in the left and right directions. This design simplifies the adjustment process, improves work efficiency, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the clamping action, thus improving the ease of operation and clamping precision.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, an air conditioner panel straightening device has movable grooves 12 adapted to the movable plate 5 on both sides of the top of the operating table 1 and at corresponding positions at the bottom of the two clamping frames 4. Specifically, by providing movable grooves 12 adapted to the movable plate 5 on both sides of the top of the operating table 1 and at corresponding positions at the bottom of the two clamping frames 4, the movable plate 5 slides along the movable grooves 12 when the clamping frames 4 move in the back-and-forth direction, ensuring the linear movement trajectory of the clamping frames 4 and avoiding deviation or jamming. This design not only improves the moving accuracy and stability of the end centering component but also extends the service life of the equipment, achieving the effect of enhancing structural stability and extending equipment life.

[0036] The clamping frame 4 has a clamping plate 14 inside, and a lifting cylinder is installed on the top of the clamping frame 4. The output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the top of the clamping plate 14. Specifically, by setting up the clamping plate 14 inside the clamping frame 4 and the lifting cylinder installed on the top of the clamping frame 4, the lifting cylinder drives the clamping plate 14 to move up and down when more precise clamping of the air conditioning panel is required, adjusting the clamping force and position. This achieves adaptive clamping of panels of different thicknesses, effectively preventing correction deviations caused by loose clamping, and improving clamping stability and correction accuracy.

[0037] The bidirectional synchronous movement structure includes two mounting plates 11 connected to the bottom of the operating platform 1 and a bidirectional lead screw 13 rotatably connected between the mounting plates 11. A drive motor cooperating with the bidirectional lead screw 13 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 11. One end of each of the two moving plates 5 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional lead screw 13. Specifically, by using the bidirectional synchronous movement structure, which includes two mounting plates 11 connected to the bottom of the operating platform 1 and a bidirectional lead screw 13 rotatably connected between the mounting plates 11, a drive motor cooperating with the bidirectional lead screw 13 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 11, and one end of each of the two moving plates 5 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional lead screw 13, the bidirectional lead screw 13 rotates under the drive motor, causing the two moving plates 5 to move synchronously inward or outward, achieving rapid and accurate centering positioning of the air conditioning panel in the front-back direction. This design simplifies manual adjustment steps, improves the degree of automation, significantly improves work efficiency and consistency, and achieves the goal of optimizing equipment automation performance and improving production efficiency.

[0038] In this air conditioner panel straightening device, all structural components work together to achieve automatic centering, stable clamping, and efficient straightening of the air conditioner panel.

The side centering component includes a top plate 3, whose two ends are bolted to the operating platform 1 via side mounting brackets 7 to ensure structural stability. Pushing plates 8 are located on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 3. One side of the pushing plate 8 is driven by a pushing cylinder 6 and slides along a groove 9 on the top plate 3. A slider 10 ensures smooth pushing. The two pushing plates 8 advance synchronously towards the center, achieving automatic clamping and positioning of the panel in the left and right directions. The end centering component includes a clamping frame 4 and... The two movable plates 5 connected to the bottom of the operating table 1 are driven by a bidirectional synchronous moving structure set at the bottom of the operating table 1. This structure consists of a mounting plate 11, a bidirectional lead screw 13, and a drive motor. When the motor starts, it drives the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate, causing the two movable plates 5 to move synchronously inward or outward, thereby driving the clamping frame 4 to achieve synchronous clamping or loosening in the front and back directions. The top of the operating table 1 is provided with a moving groove 12 corresponding to the bottom of the clamping frame 4, which facilitates the sliding of the movable plates 5 along the groove and ensures the linearity and stability of the clamping action. The clamping frame 4 is provided with a clamping plate 14 inside. The top of the clamping plate 14 is controlled to move up and down by a lifting cylinder, which can adapt to panels of different thicknesses and enhance clamping stability. When the panel is clamped synchronously in four directions, the correction module 2 is activated and applies precise pressure correction to the deformed parts according to the preset path to ensure uniform force and accurate action.

[0039] The air conditioner panel straightening device provided by this utility model has significant technological advancements: First, the design of the side centering component and the end centering component solves the problem of the lack of automatic centering and positioning function in the prior art, enabling the air conditioner panel to be quickly and accurately clamped and positioned before straightening, greatly reducing the time and labor intensity of repeated manual adjustments and improving work efficiency; Second, the multi-directional synchronous clamping structure improves the stability of panel fixing, avoids the problem of inaccurate straightening position caused by clamping deviation, significantly enhances the consistency and accuracy of the straightening process, and meets the requirements of high-precision production; Third, the combination structure of the pushing cylinder 6, the slide groove 9 and the slider 10 ensures the smooth operation of the pushing plate 8, improving the accuracy and response speed of the clamping action; The cooperation between the clamping plate 14 and the lifting cylinder further enhances the adaptability to panels of different thicknesses and prevents displacement errors caused by insecure clamping; The bidirectional synchronous movement structure realizes the synchronous movement of the clamping frame 4 through the linkage of the bidirectional lead screw 13 and the drive motor, improving the degree of automation and simplifying the manual operation process.
