Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of compressor assembly, and in particular to a cover plate assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] After the compressor of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is plugged in, a compressor cover needs to be installed to protect the plug. In traditional production lines, the compressor cover must be installed manually in the designated place and then tightened with nuts. Manual operation involves monotonous movements, high labor intensity, and fatigue from prolonged operation. The fan blades, fins, sheet metal parts on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are relatively sharp, and employees are easily cut during operation. In addition, the manual assembly of the compressor cover has a low degree of automation, and the product stability cannot meet production requirements.

[0003] To improve the automation level of air conditioner assembly, existing technology has added an automatic compressor cover transfer device to the assembly line. However, the outlet of the added transfer device cannot be well integrated with the original production line, resulting in the compressor cover at the outlet of the compressor cover transfer device not being accurately positioned. Consequently, it cannot be directly transferred or moved to the assembly line and still requires manual positioning before transfer, which seriously hinders the automation level of air conditioner assembly.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the cover plate assembly device provided in this application includes a first transmission and positioning component, a second transmission and positioning component 4, and a clamping assembly component; the clamping assembly component is separately disposed from the first transmission and positioning component and the second transmission and positioning component 4.

[0037] The first transmission positioning component includes a first transmission line 2 and a first positioning element 3. The first positioning element 3 includes a first positioning groove 36 and a first driving element 39. The first positioning groove 36 is located at the outlet of the first transmission line 2, and the first driving element 39 is located on the side of the first positioning groove 36, for secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 transmitted to the first positioning groove 36.

[0038] In this application, the cover plate 37 can be a compressor cover or a cover plate 37 of other structures. The cover plate 37 is assembled at the position to be assembled by nuts. When the cover plate 37 is a compressor cover, the specific position to be assembled can be the corresponding position in the compressor or the outdoor unit 8 of the air conditioner.

[0039] The first and second transmission positioning components 4 of this application are provided with assembly transmission lines 5 on their sides. The assembly transmission lines 5 are used to transport compressors or air conditioner outdoor units 8 to be assembled. The assembly transmission lines 5 are also equipped with corresponding detectors, stops, etc., for positioning the products to be assembled.

[0040] The clamping assembly can be one or two. When there is one clamping assembly, it integrates a clamping cover plate 37 and a clamping nut. When there are two clamping assembly, the cover plate 37 and the nut can be gripped separately.

[0041] This application provides a first positioning groove 36 at the output end of the first transmission line 2, and performs secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 in the first positioning groove 36 through the first driving member 39. After secondary positioning, the position of the cover plate 37 is fixed, which facilitates subsequent clamping operations.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate assembly device also includes an assembly transmission line 5, which is equipped with a blocking component and a detection sensor. The assembly transmission line 5 is located on the side of the clamping assembly assembly.

[0043] Specifically, the blocking components include a first blocking plate 13 and a second blocking plate 14 respectively disposed before and after the assembly transmission line 5. A detection sensor is located between the first blocking plate 13 and the second blocking plate 14, forming an assembly position between the first blocking plate 13 and the second blocking plate 14. Taking the compressor cover 37 as an example: the assembly transmission line 5 is used to transport the air conditioner outdoor unit 8. A first positioning side plate 9 and a second positioning side plate 10 are respectively disposed on both sides of the assembly transmission line 5. The first positioning side plate 9 and the second positioning side plate 10 are used to guide the air conditioner outdoor unit 8. An eighth fixing plate 12 is disposed on the side of the assembly position. An eighth driving component 11 is disposed in the eighth fixing plate 12. The output end of the eighth driving component 11 is connected to the second positioning side plate 10. When the outdoor unit 8 moves to the position of the second baffle 14, the detection sensor checks whether there is an outdoor unit 8 at the assembly position. If there is an outdoor unit 8, the second baffle 14 rises, preventing the outdoor unit 8 from moving further. If there is no outdoor unit 8, the second baffle 14 descends, causing the outdoor unit 8 to move between the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 14. At the same time, the first baffle 13 rises. At this time, the eighth drive component 11 extends, forming a three-sided positioning of the outdoor unit 8 with the first baffle 13 and the second baffle. The assembly of the compressor cover and the outdoor unit 8 is achieved under the drive of the assembly component.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first transmission positioning component includes a first transmission line 2 and a first positioning element 3. The first positioning element 3 includes a first positioning groove 36 and a first driving element 39. When the cover plate 37 at the outlet of the first transmission line 2 is transmitted to the first positioning groove 36, the first driving element 39 moves to abut against the cover plate 37 in the first positioning groove 36 for secondary precise positioning. At the same time, the second transmission positioning component 4 outputs a nut. The clamping assembly component located on the side of the first transmission positioning component and the second transmission positioning component 4 clamps the nut and the cover plate 37 to the assembly position for assembly. Since the position of the cover plate 37 has been precisely positioned, the clamping assembly component only needs to move to a fixed position to achieve automatic clamping and transmission, which improves the automation level of assembly, as well as the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the cover plate assembly device provided in this application includes a first transmission positioning component, a second transmission positioning component 4, and a clamping assembly component; the clamping assembly component is separately disposed from the first transmission positioning component and the second transmission positioning component 4; the second transmission positioning component 4 outputs a nut.

[0047] The first transmission positioning component includes a first transmission line 2 and a first positioning element 3. The first positioning element 3 includes a first positioning groove 36 and a first driving element 39. The first positioning groove 36 is located at the outlet of the first transmission line 2, and the first driving element 39 is located on the side of the first positioning groove 36, used for secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 transmitted to the first positioning groove 36. The output end of the first driving element 39 is connected to a first push rod 40, which, driven by the first driving element 39, can abut against the cover plate 37 in the first positioning groove 36.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a first vibrating plate 1 is provided at the entrance of the first transmission line 2. The first vibrating plate 1 contains a cover plate 37. The first vibrating plate 1 transmits the cover plate 37 to the first transmission line 2 in sequence through vibration. The first transmission line 2 is used to drive the cover plate 37 to move.

[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first transmission positioning component further includes a second driving member 33. The second driving member 33 is located on the side of the first positioning groove 36 away from the first transmission line 2. The output end of the second driving member 33 is connected to the first positioning groove 36 and can drive the first positioning groove 36 to move in a direction away from or towards the first transmission line 2. The second driving member 33 can specifically be a second cylinder.

[0050] The first transmission positioning component further includes a third driving member 35. The output end of the third driving member 35 is connected to the first positioning groove 36 and can drive the first positioning groove 36 to rotate, so that the feature surface of the cover plate 37 in the first positioning groove 36 faces the first driving member 39. The feature surface refers to one of the solid surfaces of the cover plate 37. The third driving member 35 can specifically be a third rotary cylinder.

[0051] Specifically, the second mounting plate 32 is fixed in the first transmission line 2, the second driving component 33 and the first mounting plate 38 are fixed in the second mounting plate 32, the output end of the second driving component 33 is connected to the third connecting plate 34, the third connecting plate 34 is provided with a third driving component 35, the third driving component 35 is provided with a first positioning groove 36, and the third driving component 35 is a rotary cylinder capable of driving the first positioning groove 36 to rotate. The first driving component 39 is fixed in the first mounting plate 38, and the output end of the first driving component 39 is connected to the first push rod 40.

[0052] The second driving member 33 extends, causing the first positioning groove 36 to abut against the outlet of the first transmission line 2; the first vibrating plate 1 sorts and conveys the cover plate 37 to the first transmission line 2 for storage and transmission. Under the thrust of the first transmission line 2 and subsequent cover plates 37, the cover plate 37 is conveyed into the first positioning groove 36. The second driving member 33 retracts, and the third driving member 35 drives the first positioning groove 36 to rotate, causing one of the solid surfaces of the cover plate 37 to rotate to a position directly opposite the first push rod 40. The first driving member 39 drives the first push rod 40 to push out, completing the secondary precise positioning of the cover plate 37. After the secondary positioning, the first driving member 39 resets. The primary positioning refers to the process of the cover plate 37 entering the first positioning groove 36 for positioning.

[0053] The specific rotation angle needs to be set according to the structure and orientation of the cover plate 37. It should be noted that the orientation of the cover plate 37 is the same in the first transmission line 2, therefore, the rotation angle of the third drive member 35 is the same. In addition, the cover plate 37 contains a notched surface and a solid surface. One of the solid surfaces needs to be rotated to a position directly opposite the first push rod 40 to ensure that the first push rod 40 can better abut against the cover plate 37 and achieve precise positioning.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] like Figures 1-11As shown, this application provides a cover plate assembly device, including a first transmission positioning component, a second transmission positioning component 4, and a clamping assembly component; the clamping assembly component is separately disposed from the first transmission positioning component and the second transmission positioning component 4; the first transmission positioning component includes a first transmission line 2 and a first positioning element 3, the first positioning element 3 includes a first positioning groove 36 and a first driving element 39, the first positioning groove 36 is located at the outlet of the first transmission line 2, and the first driving element 39 is located on the side of the first positioning groove 36, for secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 transmitted to the first positioning groove 36.

[0056] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the second transmission positioning component 4 outputs a nut. The second transmission positioning component 4 includes a second transmission line 16 and a second positioning element 18. The second positioning element 18 includes a second positioning groove, a fourth driving element 28, and a fifth driving element 29. The second positioning groove is located at the outlet of the second transmission line 16. The fourth driving element 28 and the fifth driving element 29 are both connected to the second positioning groove, and the driving directions of the fourth driving element 28 and the fifth driving element 29 are perpendicular to each other.

[0057] The fourth driving member 28 and the second positioning groove are fixed by the fourth support base 30, which is located in the first slide rail 31. The fifth driving member 29 is used to drive the fourth support base 30 to move along the first slide rail 31.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second vibratory feeder 15 is provided at the entrance of the second transmission line 16, and a second positioning element 18 is provided at the exit of the second transmission line 16. The second transmission line 16 is fixed in the second support frame 17 and is used to transport nuts to the second positioning element 18. The second vibratory feeder 15, the second transmission line 16, the second support frame 17, and the second positioning element 18 are all installed in a sorting and positioning mounting plate 19. The sorting and positioning mounting plate 19 is set in four support columns 20, and the height of the support columns 20 can be adjusted to adapt to different assembly scenarios.

[0059] Nut positioning support plate 21 is fixed in sorting and positioning mounting plate 19. Nut positioning mounting plate 22 is mounted on nut positioning support plate 21. First slide rail 31, nut positioning front baffle 23, and nut positioning side plate 24 are mounted in nut positioning mounting plate 22. Nut positioning upper pressure plate 25 is located above nut positioning side plate 24. Second positioning block 26 is located in first slide rail 31, and second positioning groove is provided in second positioning block 26. Fourth support base 30 is mounted in second positioning block 26, and fourth driving member 28 is provided in fourth support base 30. Secondary positioning U-shaped fork 27 is provided at the output end of fourth driving member 28. Secondary positioning U-shaped fork 27 can abut against nut in second positioning groove under the drive of fourth driving member 28. Secondary positioning U-shaped fork 27 is located below nut positioning upper pressure plate 25. Fifth driving member 29 is mounted in nut positioning side plate 24, and output end of fifth driving member 29 is connected to fourth support base 30. The fourth drive component 28 can be a fourth cylinder, and the fifth drive component 29 can be a fifth cylinder, and the driving directions of the fourth cylinder and the fifth cylinder are perpendicular to each other.

[0060] After the second vibratory plate 15 completes the vibration sorting of the nuts, it transports the nuts to the second transmission for storage and conveying. The nuts are then transported to the second positioning slot in the second positioning block 26 via the second transmission line 16. The fourth drive unit 28 drives the secondary positioning U-shaped fork 27 to perform secondary precise positioning of the nuts. After positioning is completed, the fifth drive unit 29 pushes the second positioning block 26 to the gripping station, and the fourth drive unit 28 drives the regional drive unit to reset.

[0061] In this application, the first positioning of the nut refers to the process of the second transmission line 16 entering the second placement slot, and the driving directions of the fourth driving member 28 and the fifth driving member 29 are perpendicular, which can ensure that the nut is positioned in a mutually perpendicular direction in the horizontal plane, thereby making the nut positioning accurate.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this application provides a cover plate assembly device, including a first transmission positioning component, a second transmission positioning component 4, and a clamping assembly component; the clamping assembly component is separately disposed from the first transmission positioning component and the second transmission positioning component 4; the first transmission positioning component includes a first transmission line 2 and a first positioning element 3, the first positioning element 3 includes a first positioning groove 36 and a first driving element 39, the first positioning groove 36 is located at the outlet of the first transmission line 2, and the first driving element 39 is located on the side of the first positioning groove 36, for secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 transmitted to the first positioning groove 36.

[0064] like Figures 9-11As shown, a first feeding component 63 is provided on the side of the first transmission positioning component. The first feeding component 63 includes a storage box 64, a feeding port 66, a switch plate 69, and a sixth driving component 71. The output end of the sixth driving component 71 is connected to the switch plate 69. The switch plate 69 is located between the storage box 64 and the feeding port 66. The feeding port 66 is directly opposite the entrance of the first transmission positioning component.

[0065] Two switch plates 69 are symmetrically arranged. The first ends of the switch plates 69 are arranged opposite each other. The second end of the switch plate 69 is fixedly connected to the first end of the first connecting rod. The second end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the first end of the second connecting rod. The second end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sixth driving member 71.

[0066] The second link is located in the second slide rail 73, and the extension direction of the second slide rail 73 is parallel to the center line connecting the two switch plates 69.

[0067] Specifically, in the first feeding assembly 63, the storage bin 64, the feeding port 66, and the feeding control structure 67 are installed in the storage bracket 65. The feeding control structure 67 includes a switch plate 69 and a control component for opening and closing the switch plate 69. A control mounting plate 68 is installed in the storage bracket 65, a sixth mounting base 72 and a second slide rail 73 are installed in the control mounting plate 68, and a sixth drive component 71 is installed in the sixth mounting base 72. The sixth drive component 71 can be a sixth cylinder.

The switch plate 69 is installed in a door opening mounting base 70, which is mounted on the control mounting plate 68.

[0068] In this application, the sixth driving component 71 is communicatively connected to the clamping assembly assembly. After the clamping assembly assembly has grasped a fixed number of cover plates 37, such as 50 cover plates 37, the sixth driving component 71 is activated, pushing the door opening connecting block 74 and the second connecting rod 75 to move away from the switch plate 69 along the second slide rail 73. The second connecting rod 75 simultaneously drives the first connecting rod 76 to rotate along the hinge. When the first connecting rod 76 rotates, it causes the switch plate 69 to open downwards, and the cover plates 37 in the storage box 64 enter the first vibratory feeder 1 through the switch plate and the feeding port 66. After the sixth driving component 71 runs for a set time, it resets and drives the switch plate 69 to close, stopping the feeding. The set time is the single feeding time, for example, it can be set to 15 seconds.

[0069] The first feeding component 63 enables automated feeding of the cover plate 37, ensuring fully automated operation of the assembly process.

By positioning the positions of the first clamping component and the cover plate 37 using the vision detector 47, the precise clamping of the first clamping component and the second clamping component can be ensured. With the help of the two precise positioning of the nut and the cover plate 37, only one clamping is needed during the clamping assembly process to simultaneously clamp the nut and the cover plate 37, completing the assembly work. Specifically, the vision detector 47 can be a vision camera.

[0074] like Figure 8As shown, the second clamping component includes a seventh driving member 56, a locking nut electric screwdriver 54, and a locking nut clamp 55. The seventh driving member 56 is connected to the locking nut electric screwdriver 54 via a buffer member, and the output end of the locking nut electric screwdriver 54 is connected to the locking nut clamp 55. The buffer member includes a buffer spring 58 and a spring connecting block 59. The spring connecting block 59 is fixedly connected to the locking nut electric screwdriver 54 and is located in a third slide rail 61. The extension direction of the third slide rail 61 is parallel to the driving direction of the seventh driving member 56.

[0075] The seventh mounting plate 57, the third slide rail 61, and the lock nut clamp mounting base 62 are mounted on the clamp back plate 43. The seventh drive component 56 is mounted in the seventh mounting plate 57. The buffer spring 58 is connected to the seventh drive component 56 and the spring connecting block 59. The spring connecting block 59 is mounted on the first connecting block 60, which is mounted in the third slide rail 61. The lock nut electric screwdriver 54 is mounted on the first connecting block 60, and the lock nut clamp 55 is mounted on the lock nut clamp mounting base 62, with the lock nut clamp 55 connected to the output end of the lock nut electric screwdriver 54. The seventh drive component 56 provides the power for the up-and-down movement of the entire nut-driving part to complete the nut-picking and retraction actions. The spring connecting block 59 connects the power to the screw-driving part. The buffer spring 58 provides a certain degree of flexibility when the seventh drive component 56 drives the lock nut clamp 55 to pick up the nut, ensuring that the hexagon of the nut fits perfectly in the lock nut clamp 55.

[0076] In this application, the installation positions of the first clamp 53 and the locking nut clamp 55 correspond one-to-one with the first positioning groove 36 and the second positioning groove. When the robot 6 drives the clamping structure 7 to the gripping position, the ninth drive member 52 drives the first clamp 53 to complete the gripping of the cover plate 37, and the seventh drive member 56, in conjunction with the buffer spring 58, drives the locking nut clamp 55 to complete the nut picking up.

[0077] Example 6

[0078] This embodiment provides a cover plate assembly device that includes the structures described in Embodiments 1-5. Its working mechanism includes: a cover plate 37 at the outlet of the first transmission line 2 enters the first positioning groove 36; a first driving component 39 operates and abuts against the cover plate 37, performing secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 in the first positioning groove 36; a second transmission positioning component 4 outputs a nut; a clamping assembly component simultaneously grasps the precisely positioned cover plate 37 and the nut, and transmits them to the external assembly unit for assembly. The secondary positioning of the cover plate 37 ensures its precise and fixed position, improving assembly efficiency and accuracy, and achieving automated assembly of the cover plate 37.

[0079] Specifically, the outdoor unit 8 moves along the assembly conveyor line 5. When the outdoor unit 8 moves to the position of the second baffle plate 14, the detection sensor detects whether there is an outdoor unit 8 at the assembly position. If there is an outdoor unit 8, the second baffle plate 14 rises, preventing the outdoor unit 8 from moving forward. If there is no outdoor unit 8, the second baffle plate 14 falls, causing the outdoor unit 8 to move between the first baffle plate 13 and the second baffle plate 14. At the same time, the first baffle plate 13 rises. At this time, the eighth driving component 11 extends, forming a three-sided positioning of the outdoor unit 8 with the first baffle plate 13 and the second baffle plate.

[0080] The second driving member 33 extends, causing the first positioning groove 36 to abut against the outlet of the first transmission line 2; the first vibrating plate 1 sorts and conveys the cover plate 37 to the first transmission line 2 for storage and transmission. Under the thrust of the first transmission line 2 and subsequent cover plates 37, the cover plate 37 is conveyed into the first positioning groove 36. The second driving member 33 retracts, and the third driving member 35 drives the first positioning groove 36 to rotate, causing one of the solid surfaces of the cover plate 37 to rotate to a position directly opposite the first push rod 40. The first driving member 39 drives the first push rod 40 to push out, completing the secondary precise positioning of the cover plate 37. After the secondary positioning, the first driving member 39 resets. The primary positioning refers to the process of the cover plate 37 entering the first positioning groove 36 for positioning.

[0081] After the second vibratory plate 15 completes the vibration sorting of the nuts, it transports the nuts to the second transmission for storage and conveying. The nuts are then transported to the second positioning slot in the second positioning block 26 via the second transmission line 16. The fourth drive unit 28 drives the secondary positioning U-shaped fork 27 to perform secondary precise positioning of the nuts. After positioning is completed, the fifth drive unit 29 pushes the second positioning block 26 to the gripping station, and the fourth drive unit 28 drives the regional drive unit to reset.

[0082] The first clamp 53 and the locking nut clamp 55 are installed in positions corresponding to the first positioning groove 36 and the second positioning groove. When the robot 6 drives the clamping structure 7 to the gripping position, the ninth drive member 52 drives the first clamp 53 to complete the gripping of the cover plate 37, and the seventh drive member 56, in conjunction with the buffer spring 58, drives the locking nut clamp 55 to complete the nut picking up.

[0083] After simultaneously gripping the cover plate 37 and the nut, the assembly component is moved to the assembly position on the assembly conveyor line 5. The compressor cover installation position is accurately positioned by the cooperation of the vision detector 47 and the light source 49. Then, the robot 6 drives the first clamp 53 to grip the compressor cover to complete the assembly action. Then, the locking nut clamp 55 is rotated to the corresponding station to complete the locking. After the locking assembly is completed, the first blocking plate 13 is retracted, the eighth drive component 11 drives the second positioning side plate 10 to retract, and the air conditioner outdoor unit 8 flows into the next process.
