Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner housing processing technology, specifically an air conditioner housing clamping fixture. Background Technology
[0002] An air conditioner is a household appliance that uses core components such as a compressor, evaporator, and condenser to regulate indoor air temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. It cools the air in hot summers and heats it in cold winters, creating a comfortable indoor environment. The outer casing of the air conditioner's indoor unit, acting as its "outer garment," not only protects the delicate internal components from dust and impact damage but also serves an aesthetic function. It is typically made of engineering plastic injection molding, and its design balances heat dissipation requirements with overall aesthetics, harmonizing with interior décor, making it an indispensable part of the air conditioner.
[0003] After the air conditioner casing is injection molded, excess parts and burrs need to be trimmed. Currently, the air conditioner casing is usually placed on a processing table and manually moved and adjusted by the operator for trimming. This can easily cause wear and tear on the air conditioner casing, and the air conditioner casing is prone to movement during the trimming process, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the trimming. The existing technology has not solved this problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: An air conditioner housing clamping fixture includes a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes two sets of symmetrically arranged fixed clamps 1. A clamping seat 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed clamp 1. A movable clamp 3 is slidably installed on the inner side of the clamping seat 2. One side of the movable clamp 3 is rotatably connected to one end of a threaded rod 4. The threaded rod 4 is threadedly engaged with the clamping seat 2. A clamping handle 12 is provided on the outer side of the clamping seat 2. The clamping handle 12 is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected with the threaded rod 4. A guide block 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable clamp 3. A guide groove 14 is opened inside the clamping seat 2. The guide block 13 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 14. Rubber pads are adhered to the side of the fixed clamp 1 and the movable clamp 3 that contacts the air conditioner housing.
[0016] The clamping assembly is the core structure for achieving stable fixation of the air conditioner casing. It forms a clamping space through the fixed clamp 1 and the movable clamp 3. The operator can rotate the clamping handle 12 to drive the threaded rod 4 to rotate, which can precisely adjust the distance between the movable clamp 3 and the fixed clamp 1, thereby closely fitting the edge of the air conditioner casing with different thicknesses. The guide block 13 at the bottom of the movable clamp 3 slides and engages with the guide groove 14 in the clamping seat 2 to ensure smooth movement without rotation. This not only avoids squeezing damage to the surface of the air conditioner casing during clamping, but also provides sufficient clamping force to effectively prevent the casing from shaking or shifting during trimming operations, providing a reliable guarantee for high-precision trimming.
[0017] It also includes an adjustment component for adjusting the spacing of the clamping components. The adjustment component includes a bidirectional lead screw 5. Two sets of movable seats 6 are symmetrically mounted on the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 5. The movable seats 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed chuck 1. The bidirectional lead screw 5 is located inside the rotating disk 7. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 5 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 7. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 5 passes through the rotating disk 7 and is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 7. An adjustment handle 11 is fixedly installed on one end of the bidirectional lead screw 5 on the outside of the rotating disk 7. The bidirectional lead screw 5 is a trapezoidal lead screw made of 45# steel. It uses a trapezoidal thread structure to achieve mechanical self-locking. When there is no external driving force, the static friction between the movable seat 6 and the bidirectional lead screw 5 can effectively prevent the movable seat 6 from rotating on its own or moving axially, thereby achieving a reliable self-locking effect. It can stably maintain the load position without the need for an additional braking device.
[0018] The adjustment components are mainly used to adapt to air conditioner housings of different sizes. By rotating the adjustment handle 11, the bidirectional lead screw 5 is driven to rotate, causing the two symmetrical sets of moving seats 6 to move synchronously in opposite directions along the bidirectional lead screw 5, thereby driving the overall adjustment of the spacing of the clamping components at the top. This adjustment method is convenient to operate and can quickly match various housing sizes. Moreover, the bidirectional lead screw 5 has high transmission precision, which can ensure that the clamping components on both sides are always in a symmetrical state, ensuring that the air conditioner housing is in the middle of the rotating disk 7, thus facilitating operation and significantly improving the versatility and applicability of this device.
[0019] It also includes a rotating assembly for rotating the clamping assembly and the air conditioner housing. The rotating assembly includes a rotating disk 7, which is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the processing table 8 via a rotating shaft. A moving groove 9 is provided on the top of the rotating disk 7. The fixed chuck 1 and the clamping seat 2 are disposed on the top of the rotating disk 7 and slide in cooperation with the moving groove 9.
[0020] By incorporating a rotating assembly, the air conditioner casing trimming operation is made possible by a flexible angle adjustment function. The rotating disk 7 is rotatably connected to the processing table 8 via a rotating shaft. Once the air conditioner casing is clamped and fixed, the operator can directly rotate the rotating disk 7 to drive the air conditioner casing to rotate smoothly as a whole. The trimming position can be easily adjusted without frequent manual movement of the casing. This design reduces the frictional contact between the air conditioner casing and the workbench surface, avoiding surface scratches or wear. It also allows the operator to complete multi-angle trimming operations in a fixed position, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving trimming efficiency and operational safety. It is especially suitable for the fine processing of complex parts such as the corners of the air conditioner casing.
[0021] In practical use, move the device to the designated position. First, according to the size of the air conditioner casing, rotate the adjusting handle 11 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 5 to rotate, so that the two sets of moving seats 6 drive the clamping components to move towards or away from each other along the moving groove 9 on the rotating disk 7, and adjust to a suitable distance. Then, place the casing between the fixed clamp 1 and the moving clamp 3, rotate the clamping handle 12, and push the moving clamp 3 to move smoothly along the guide groove 14 through the threaded rod 4, and clamp the air conditioner casing in conjunction with the fixed clamp 1. During the trimming process, the rotating disk 7 can be rotated directly to drive the fixed air conditioner casing to rotate as a whole to adjust the angle. After all parts are trimmed, rotate the clamping handle 12 in the opposite direction to release the air conditioner casing and take it out.
[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
