Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ice-making equipment manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a production line for ice-making equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Ice-making equipment, a widely used household appliance in modern life, is favored by consumers for its ease of operation, small footprint, and ability to provide fresh ice on demand, resulting in rapid market growth. In the production of ice-making equipment, traditional methods rely heavily on manual labor, requiring workers to assemble, weld, and debug components one by one. This manual production model is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also highly susceptible to variations in worker skill levels and work conditions, making it difficult to guarantee product consistency and meet the demands of large-scale, high-quality production. With technological advancements and increasing market demand, the production model of ice-making equipment has undergone significant changes, gradually shifting towards large-scale, automated, and intelligent production lines. An ice-making equipment production line is a highly efficient production system specifically designed for the streamlined production of ice-making equipment. Through a series of automated and semi-automated equipment and processes, it achieves continuous production from component processing, assembly, performance testing to final packaging. This production line is designed to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure consistent and reliable product quality.

[0003] However, traditional ice-making equipment production lines often use moving tooling plates to transport the ice-making equipment, allowing it to complete each process sequentially. But after completing their transport tasks, the moving tooling plates must be manually moved back to the starting point, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that severely impacts production efficiency and hinders the expansion of ice-making equipment production scale and the reduction of production costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve and optimize traditional ice-making equipment production lines to increase production efficiency, ensure product quality, and meet the growing market demand for ice-making equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a production line for ice-making equipment, which adds a second conveying track for conveying a moving tooling plate. The second conveying track connects the start and end points of the production line, so that after the moving tooling plate completes one conveying task of the ice-making equipment, it can automatically return to the starting point to prepare for the next round of conveying work, thereby realizing the automatic cyclic conveying of the moving tooling plate and improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0005] This application provides a production line for ice-making equipment, including a first conveyor track and a second conveyor track. The production line is arranged sequentially along the first conveyor track, including an assembly unit, a performance testing unit, a drying unit, and an unloading unit. Multiple movable tooling plates are installed on the first conveyor track. The movable tooling plates are used to install ice-making equipment. The movable tooling plates drive the ice-making equipment to pass sequentially through the assembly unit, the performance testing unit, the drying unit, and the unloading unit. The end point of the unloading unit and the start point of the assembly unit are connected by the second conveyor track. The second conveyor track is used to transport the movable tooling plates of the unloading unit to the assembly unit.

[0006] In this technical solution, the production line includes an assembly unit, a performance testing unit, a drying unit, and an unloading unit. It is mainly used for the assembly, performance testing, drying, and packaging of ice-making equipment such as ice makers. The assembly unit assembles various components into a complete ice-making device, achieving high-precision assembly operations. The performance testing unit tests the ice-making performance of the assembled ice-making equipment, screening out qualified equipment to ensure the finished product meets design requirements. After performance testing, residual moisture may remain inside the ice-making equipment. The drying unit dries the equipment, ensuring that moisture is completely removed from both the inside and surface, effectively solving problems such as ice blockage and corrosion caused by residual moisture in traditional production lines. The unloading unit packages and removes the dried ice-making equipment from the production line. Multiple movable tooling plates are installed on the first conveyor track. The moving tooling plates are used to install ice-making equipment and can support the movement of the ice-making equipment between various production units. They are the core components of the entire production line for conveying ice-making equipment, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can complete each key production stage in a fixed sequence. A second conveyor track is added to the production line to transport the moving tooling plates. The second conveyor track connects the start and end points of the production line, forming a closed-loop conveyor system. This allows the moving tooling plates to automatically return to the starting point after completing one conveying task for ice-making equipment, ready for the next round of conveying work. Compared with the traditional manual handling of moving tooling plates, the setting of the second conveyor track enables automatic cyclical conveying of moving tooling plates, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual handling, enabling the ice-making equipment to produce quickly and continuously on the production line, and improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0007] As an improvement, the first and second conveyor tracks are distributed in multiple layers along the vertical direction. In this technical solution, the multi-layered distribution of the first and second conveyor tracks means that the conveyor track system is designed with at least two layers in the vertical direction, making full use of vertical space. The addition of the second conveyor track does not increase the floor space of the entire production line; rather, it cleverly utilizes space through vertical layout. A two-layer conveyor track system can achieve twice the conveyor track length within the same floor area, greatly improving space utilization efficiency and increasing production scale and efficiency without increasing additional land costs. To facilitate the transfer of ice-making equipment between different track layers, connecting devices such as elevators or inclined conveyor belts can be installed to smoothly transfer the ice-making equipment from one track layer to another, ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0008] As an improvement, the end point of the unloading unit is equipped with a first lifting mechanism connecting the first and second conveying tracks, and the starting point of the assembly unit is equipped with a second lifting mechanism connecting the first and second conveying tracks. In this technical solution, the main function of the first lifting mechanism is to lift or lower the mobile tooling plate that has completed the production process from the end point of the unloading unit to the second conveying track, so that the mobile tooling plate can return to the starting point of the assembly unit via the second conveying track. The main function of the second lifting mechanism is to lift or lower the returned mobile tooling plate from the second conveying track to the starting point of the assembly unit, preparing it for the next round of ice-making equipment conveying tasks. The cooperation of the first and second lifting mechanisms realizes the automated connection and conversion between the first and second conveying tracks, ensuring the smooth and efficient transfer of the mobile tooling plate between different levels of tracks, guaranteeing the continuity of the production process. This automated connection method reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency.

[0009] As an improvement, the second conveying track has an L-shaped structure, comprising a first track segment and a second track segment. In this technical solution, the L-shaped structure design creates an angle in the spatial layout of the second conveying track, providing greater layout flexibility. The L-shaped structure can bypass obstacles or utilize space through the angle, enabling the second conveying track to achieve an effective layout within a limited space. Compared to a straight conveying track, the L-shaped structure occupies less floor space and can also shorten the distance between the offline unit and the assembly unit, reducing the transportation distance of the moving tooling plate during its return to the starting point and improving production efficiency.

[0010] As an improvement, the first conveying track includes an assembly track, a testing track, a drying track, and an unloading track connected in sequence. The second track segment is vertically parallel to the unloading track. In this technical solution, the sequentially connected assembly track, testing track, drying track, and unloading track ensure that each track segment has a clear function, facilitating targeted operation and management of the ice-making equipment at different production stages. The second track segment is vertically distributed with the unloading track, allowing the second conveying track to be laid out on the same vertical plane as the unloading track of the first conveying track. This reduces spatial intersections and conflicts, improves space utilization efficiency, and ensures that the moving tooling plate can be smoothly and efficiently transferred from the unloading track to the second track segment, and then returned to the starting point of the assembly track via the second conveying track. This reduces the transportation distance of the moving tooling plate between different track segments. After unloading, the moving tooling plate can be directly transferred to the second track segment via the first lifting mechanism, reducing the need for long-distance transportation within the factory, thereby improving production efficiency and space utilization.

[0011] As an improvement, the assembly track and the testing track are parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, and the drying track and the unloading track are located on the same straight line and are parallel to the testing track in the horizontal direction. In this technical solution, the parallel distribution of the assembly track and the performance testing track allows for efficient flow of the ice-making equipment during the assembly and testing stages, reducing movement distance and time costs. The fact that the drying track and the unloading track are on the same straight line and parallel to the performance testing track further optimizes the production process, ensuring continuous and efficient movement of the ice-making equipment during the drying and unloading stages. This also optimizes the spatial distribution of the entire production line, reducing its footprint, improving production management, and increasing the utilization rate of production space.

[0012] As an improvement, the first conveying track includes a third track segment and a fourth track segment. The end point of the assembly track and the start point of the testing track are connected by the third track segment, and the end point of the testing track and the start point of the drying track are connected by the fourth track segment. In this technical solution, the function of the third track segment is to smoothly transfer the assembled ice-making equipment from the assembly track to the testing track, ensuring that the equipment can smoothly enter the performance testing stage. The function of the fourth track segment is to smoothly transfer the ice-making equipment that has completed performance testing from the testing track to the drying track, ensuring that the equipment can smoothly enter the drying stage. Through these two track segments, the ice-making equipment can sequentially and smoothly transition from one production stage to the next, reducing intermediate waiting time and transfer distance, and improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0013] As an improvement, the first and fourth track segments are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction. In this technical solution, the first and fourth track segments are arranged vertically, allowing the second conveyor track to be laid out on the same vertical plane as the lower track of the first conveyor track. This reduces spatial intersections and conflicts, improves space utilization efficiency, and ensures that the moving tooling plate can be smoothly and efficiently transferred from the first track segment to the assembly track. The parallel distribution design allows the two track segments to better utilize space in the vertical direction, reducing space waste and making the production process more continuous. It also reduces production interruptions caused by poor equipment transfer. After completing one stage, the ice-making equipment can immediately proceed to the next stage, improving production efficiency.

[0014] As an improvement, the first track segment and the second track segment are perpendicularly distributed. In this technical solution, the first track segment is part of the second conveyor track, used to transport the completed mobile tooling plate from the off-line unit to the first lifting mechanism. The second track segment is another part of the second conveyor track, used to transport the mobile tooling plate from the first lifting mechanism to the starting point of the assembly unit. Setting the first track segment and the second track segment perpendicularly distributed makes the second conveyor track form an L-shaped structure, allowing for a more compact layout within a limited space. The perpendicular distribution design reduces the intersection and interference between different track segments. Each track segment has a clear function and is spatially independent, reducing the risk of production delays and equipment damage caused by track intersections.

[0015] As an improvement, the assembly unit includes a preliminary assembly module, a vacuum module, a frosting test module, and a secondary assembly module, and the assembly track is provided with corresponding preliminary assembly track, vacuum track, test track, and secondary assembly track in sequence. In this technical solution, the assembly unit is subdivided into multiple independent modules, each responsible for a specific assembly task. The preliminary assembly module is mainly responsible for the preliminary assembly of core components such as the compressor, evaporator, and condenser. The vacuum module is mainly used to perform vacuuming operations on the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment to ensure that the refrigerant can circulate normally and improve the performance and reliability of the refrigeration system. The frosting test module is used to simulate the frosting situation in actual use of the ice-making equipment to test the refrigeration effect and frosting characteristics of the refrigeration system. The frosting test module is set between the vacuum module and the secondary assembly module to perform frosting tests on the ice-making equipment that has completed the preliminary assembly. At this time, the ice-making equipment has a basic structure and some functions, but has not yet undergone complex secondary assembly. If problems are found during the frosting test, it can avoid more wasteful processes and increased costs caused by discovering problems only after secondary assembly. The secondary assembly module is responsible for further assembling the ice-making equipment. The assembly track is set in segments. The preliminary assembly track is the starting part of the conveyor track, which is specifically used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the assembly. In the preliminary assembly stage, the layout and speed of the preliminary assembly track are optimized according to the specific needs of the preliminary assembly unit to ensure that the ice-making equipment can complete the preliminary assembly and be smoothly transferred to the next process. The vacuum track is connected after the preliminary assembly track to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the vacuuming process and ensure that the ice-making equipment can be smoothly transferred to the next process. The test track is connected after the vacuum track to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the frost test and ensure that the ice-making equipment that passes the test can be smoothly transferred to the next process. The secondary assembly track is connected after the test track to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the secondary assembly process and ensure that the ice-making equipment can be smoothly transferred to the next process. The inspection track, as the last part of the transport track, is used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the inspection process and to screen out unqualified products. The various track sections are connected in sequence to form a complete transport system, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can pass through each production unit in sequence according to the preset process flow, avoiding confusion and cross-interference in the production process and optimizing the production process.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application discloses a production line for ice-making equipment, including a first conveyor track 1 and a second conveyor track 2. The production line is arranged sequentially along the first conveyor track 1 with an assembly unit, a performance testing unit, a drying unit, and an unloading unit. It is mainly used for the assembly, performance testing, drying, and packaging of ice-making equipment such as ice makers. The assembly unit assembles various parts into a complete ice-making equipment, achieving high-precision assembly operations. The performance testing unit tests the ice-making performance of the assembled ice-making equipment to screen out qualified ice-making equipment, ensuring that the finished ice-making equipment meets the design requirements. After the performance testing, there will be residual moisture in the ice-making equipment. The drying unit dries the ice-making equipment to ensure that the moisture inside and on the surface of the equipment is completely removed, which can effectively solve the problems of ice blockage and corrosion caused by residual moisture in traditional production lines. The unloading unit packages and unloads the dried ice-making equipment.

[0028] Multiple movable tooling plates 3 are installed on the first conveyor track 1. These movable tooling plates 3 are used to install ice-making equipment. The movable tooling plates 3 drive the ice-making equipment sequentially through the assembly unit, performance testing unit, drying unit, and off-line unit. The end point of the off-line unit and the beginning point of the assembly unit are connected by a second conveyor track 2. The second conveyor track 2 is used to transport the movable tooling plates 3 from the off-line unit to the assembly unit. Multiple movable tooling plates 3 are installed on the first conveyor track 1. These movable tooling plates 3 are all used to install ice-making equipment and can support the movement of the ice-making equipment between various production units. They are the core components of the entire production line for conveying the ice-making equipment, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can move according to a fixed sequence. The process sequentially completes each key production stage. A second conveyor track 2 is added to the production line to transport the moving tooling plate 3. The second conveyor track 2 connects the start and end points of the production line, forming a closed-loop conveying system. This allows the moving tooling plate 3 to automatically return to the starting point after completing one conveying task for the ice-making equipment, ready for the next round of conveying work. Compared with the traditional manual handling of the moving tooling plate 3, the setting of the second conveyor track 2 realizes the automatic cyclical conveying of the moving tooling plate 3, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual handling, enabling the ice-making equipment to produce quickly and continuously on the production line, and improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0029] More specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the first conveyor track 1 and the second conveyor track 2 are distributed in multiple layers along the vertical direction. This multi-layered distribution of the first conveyor track 1 and the second conveyor track 2 means that the conveyor track system is designed with at least two layers in the vertical direction, making full use of vertical space. The addition of the second conveyor track 2 does not increase the floor space of the entire production line. Instead, it cleverly utilizes space through vertical layout. A two-layer conveyor track system can achieve twice the length of the conveyor track within the same floor space, greatly improving space utilization efficiency and increasing production scale and efficiency without increasing additional land costs. In order to realize the conversion of ice-making equipment between different layers of tracks, connecting devices such as elevators or inclined conveyor belts can be set up to smoothly transfer ice-making equipment from one layer of tracks to another, ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0030] More specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the end point of the unloading unit is equipped with a first lifting mechanism 4 connecting the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2, and the starting point of the assembly unit is equipped with a second lifting mechanism 5 connecting the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2. The main function of the first lifting mechanism 4 is to lift or lower the mobile tooling plate 3 that has completed the production process from the end point of the unloading unit to the second conveying track 2, so that the mobile tooling plate 3 can return to the starting point of the assembly unit via the second conveying track 2. The main function of the second lifting mechanism 5 is to lift or lower the returned mobile tooling plate 3 from the second conveying track 2 to the starting point of the assembly unit, preparing for the next round of ice-making equipment conveying tasks. The first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 5 work together to realize the automated connection and conversion between the first conveying track 1 and the second conveying track 2, which can ensure that the mobile tooling plate 3 is transferred smoothly and efficiently between different levels of tracks, ensuring the continuity of the production process. This automated connection method reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency.

[0031] More specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second conveying track 2 has an L-shaped structure. The second conveying track 2 includes a first track segment 21 and a second track segment 22. The L-shaped structure design makes the second conveying track 2 form an angle in spatial layout, providing greater layout flexibility. The L-shaped structure can bypass obstacles or utilize space through the angle, enabling the second conveying track 2 to achieve an effective layout in a limited space. Compared with a straight conveying track, the L-shaped structure occupies less area and can also shorten the distance between the offline unit and the assembly unit, reduce the transportation distance of the moving tooling plate 3 during the return process to the starting point, and improve production efficiency.

[0032] More specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the first conveying track 1 includes an assembly track 11, a detection track 12, a drying track 13, and an unloading track 14 connected in sequence. The second track segment 22 is parallel to the unloading track 14 in the vertical direction. The sequentially connected assembly track 11, detection track 12, drying track 13, and unloading track 14 ensure that each track segment has a specific function, facilitating targeted operation and management of the ice-making equipment at different production stages. The second track segment 22 is positioned vertically relative to the unloading track 14, allowing the second conveying track 22 to interact with the first conveying track 1. The lowering track 14 is laid out on the same vertical plane, which reduces spatial intersections and conflicts, improves space utilization efficiency, and ensures that the moving tooling plate 3 can be transferred smoothly and efficiently from the lowering track 14 to the second track section 22, and then return to the starting point of the assembly track 11 via the second conveying track 2. This reduces the transportation distance of the moving tooling plate 3 between different track sections. After the moving tooling plate 3 is completed, it can be directly transferred to the second track section 22 via the first lifting mechanism 4, reducing the need for long-distance transportation within the factory, thereby improving production efficiency and space utilization.

[0033] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the assembly track 11 and the testing track 12 are parallel in the horizontal direction, and the drying track 13 and the off-line track 14 are located on the same straight line and are parallel to the testing track 12 in the horizontal direction. The parallel distribution of the assembly track 11 and the performance testing track 12 enables the ice-making equipment to move efficiently during the assembly and testing stages, reducing the movement distance and time costs. The fact that the drying track 13 and the off-line track 14 are on the same straight line and parallel to the performance testing track 12 further optimizes the production process, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can move continuously and efficiently during the drying and off-line stages. It also optimizes the spatial distribution of the entire production line, which helps to reduce the footprint of the production line, further improves the level of production management, reduces the equipment footprint, and improves the utilization rate of production space.

[0034] More specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the first conveying track 1 includes a third track segment 15 and a fourth track segment 16. The end point of the assembly track 11 and the starting point of the testing track 12 are connected by the third track segment 15, and the end point of the testing track 12 and the starting point of the drying track 13 are connected by the fourth track segment 16. The function of the third track segment 15 is to smoothly transfer the assembled ice-making equipment from the assembly track 11 to the testing track 12, ensuring that the equipment can smoothly enter the performance testing stage. The function of the fourth track segment 16 is to smoothly transfer the ice-making equipment that has completed performance testing from the testing track 12 to the drying track 13, ensuring that the equipment can smoothly enter the drying stage. Through these two track segments, the ice-making equipment can smoothly transition from one production stage to the next, reducing the intermediate waiting time and transfer distance, and improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0035] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first track segment 21 and the fourth track segment 16 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction. The first track segment 21 and the fourth track segment 16 are arranged vertically so that the second conveying track 2 can be laid out on the same vertical plane as the lower track 14 of the first conveying track 1. This reduces spatial intersections and conflicts, improves space utilization efficiency, and ensures that the moving tooling plate 3 can be transferred smoothly and efficiently from the first track segment 21 to the assembly track 11. The parallel distribution design allows the two track segments to make better use of space in the vertical direction, reducing space waste, making the production process more continuous, reducing production interruptions caused by poor equipment transfer, and allowing the ice-making equipment to immediately enter the next stage after completing one stage, thus improving production efficiency.

[0036] More specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first track segment 21 and the second track segment 22 are vertically distributed. The first track segment 21 is part of the second conveying track 2 and is used to transport the completed mobile tooling plate 3 from the off-line unit to the first lifting mechanism 4. The second track segment 22 is another part of the second conveying track 2 and is used to transport the mobile tooling plate 3 from the first lifting mechanism 4 to the starting point of the assembly unit. The vertical distribution of the first track segment 21 and the second track segment 22 makes the second conveying track 2 form an L-shaped structure, which allows the second conveying track 2 to achieve a more compact layout in a limited space. The vertical distribution design reduces the intersection and interference between different track segments. Each track segment has a clear function and is spatially independent, reducing the risk of production delays and equipment damage caused by track intersections.

[0037] More specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the assembly unit includes a preliminary assembly module, a vacuum module, a frosting test module, and a secondary assembly module. Assembly track 11 is sequentially equipped with corresponding preliminary assembly track 111, vacuum track 112, test track 113, and secondary assembly track 114, subdividing the assembly unit into multiple independent modules. Each module is responsible for a specific assembly task. The preliminary assembly module is mainly responsible for the preliminary assembly of core components such as the compressor, evaporator, and condenser. The vacuum module is mainly used to perform vacuuming operations on the refrigeration system of the ice-making equipment to ensure normal refrigerant circulation and improve the performance and reliability of the refrigeration system. The frosting test module is used to simulate frosting conditions in actual use of the ice-making equipment to test the refrigeration effect and frosting characteristics of the refrigeration system. The frosting test module is located between the vacuum module and the secondary assembly module to perform frosting tests on the ice-making equipment after preliminary assembly. At this point, the ice-making equipment has a basic structure and some functions, but has not yet undergone complex secondary assembly. If problems are found during the frosting test, it can avoid the waste of more processes and increased costs caused by discovering problems only after secondary assembly. The secondary assembly module is responsible for further assembling the ice-making equipment. The assembly track 11 is segmented, with preliminary assembly... Assembly track 111 is the starting part of the conveyor track, specifically used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the initial assembly stage. The layout and speed of the initial assembly track 111 are optimized according to the specific needs of the initial assembly unit to ensure that the ice-making equipment can complete the initial assembly and be smoothly transferred to the next process. Vacuum track 112 is connected after the initial assembly track 111 and is used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the vacuuming stage, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can complete the vacuuming and be smoothly transferred to the next process. Test track 113 is connected after the vacuum track 112 and is used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the frosting test and ensure that it passes. The tested ice-making equipment can be smoothly transferred to the next process. The secondary assembly track 114 is connected after the test track 113 and is used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the secondary assembly stage, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can be smoothly transferred to the next process. The inspection track 12, as the last part of the conveyor track, is used to transport the ice-making equipment to complete the inspection stage and to screen out unqualified products. The various track sections are connected in sequence to form a complete conveyor system, ensuring that the ice-making equipment can pass through each production unit in sequence according to the preset process flow, avoiding confusion and cross-interference in the production process and optimizing the production process.
