Tray 100, back cover 200. Detailed Implementation
[0020] See Figures 1-4 The present invention relates to an automatic installation device for the rear cover of an automotive air conditioning compressor, comprising a workbench 1, a left turntable 2, a right turntable 3 and a filter feeding mechanism 4 disposed on the workbench 1, an oil distribution pipe feeding mechanism 5 and a first pressing mechanism 6 disposed around the left turntable 2, a filter feeding mechanism 7 disposed between the left turntable 2 and the right turntable 3, a second pressing mechanism 8, a safety valve tightening mechanism 9 and a discharging mechanism 10 disposed around the right turntable 3, and a conveying mechanism disposed on the right side of the right turntable 3; Both the left turntable 2 and the right turntable 3 are driven to rotate by a motor at the bottom. Each turntable has a workstation for placing the rear cover 200. These workstations position the rear cover in the corresponding orientation, ensuring that different mounting positions on the rear cover 200 are at the top, facilitating the placement of the oil separator pipe and filter screen. Specifically, on the workstation of the left turntable 2, placing the rear cover 200 places the oil separator pipe's mounting position at the top, facilitating its installation; similarly, on the workstation of the right turntable 3, placing the rear cover 200 places the filter screen's mounting position at the top, facilitating its installation. The oil pipe feeding mechanism 5 includes an oil pipe conveyor belt 52 driven by a servo conveying module A51 and a gripper A54 driven by a servo module B53; the oil pipe conveyor belt 52 conveys the tray 100 containing the oil pipe to below the gripper A54, and the gripper A54 grabs the oil pipe and sends it to the rear cover 200 of the left turntable 2; The first pressing mechanism 6 is a servo press with a pressure sensor. After the oil pipe feeding mechanism 5 places the oil pipe in place, the left turntable 2 rotates one station so that the rear cover 200 is located at the pressing station of the first pressing mechanism 6. The first pressing mechanism 6 presses the oil pipe into the specified size in the oil pipe mounting hole of the rear cover 200 to complete the installation of the oil pipe. After the oil separator pipe is installed, the left turntable 2 continues to rotate one station. The operator takes out the back cover 200 with the oil separator pipe installed and manually screws in the safety valve. Then, the back cover 200 is placed on the right turntable 3. At this time, the station seat of the right turntable 3 can ensure that the filter screen installation hole of the back cover 200 faces upward. The filter feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibratory feeder 41 and a cutting mechanism 42. The vibratory feeder 41 feeds the filter screens into the guide groove 43 of the cutting mechanism 42, and then the cutting mechanism 42 pushes out the filter screens one by one from the guide groove 43 for the filter screen feeding mechanism 7 to grab and feed. The filter screen feeding mechanism 7 includes a gripper B72 driven by a servo module C71. The gripper B72 grabs the filter screens fed out by the filter feeding mechanism 4 and places them on the rear cover 200 on the right turntable 3. The second pressing mechanism 8 is a pneumatic press driven by a cylinder; the safety valve tightening mechanism 9 includes a safety valve tightening gun driven by a motor, used to tighten the safety valve on the rear cover; after the filter screen is placed on the rear cover 200, the right turntable 3 rotates so that the rear cover 200 is in the pressing position of the second pressing mechanism 8, the second pressure mechanism 8 presses the filter screen into the rear cover 200, and at the same time the tightening gun of the safety valve tightening mechanism 9 tightens the safety valve, completing the installation of the filter screen and the safety valve; The unloading mechanism 10 includes a gripper cylinder 12 driven by a servo module D11. The gripper cylinder 12 picks up the rear cover 200 from the right turntable 3 and places it into the conveying mechanism. After the filter and safety valve are installed, the right turntable 3 rotates one station, and the rear cover 200 rotates to be directly below the gripper cylinder 12. The gripper cylinder 12 then picks up the rear cover 200, with the oil separator pipe, filter, and safety valve installed, and places it into the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes an OK conveyor belt 13 and an NG conveyor belt 14, which transport qualified and unqualified products respectively. The unloading mechanism 10 places qualified products into the OK conveyor belt 13 and unqualified products into the NG conveyor belt 14.
[0021] This utility model relates to an automatic installation device for the rear cover of an automotive air conditioning compressor. It integrates the oil distribution pipe, filter, and safety valve on the rear cover 200 onto the same device for integrated assembly, which improves assembly efficiency. The overall device has a simple structure, low cost, and small footprint.
[0022] Additionally, it should be noted that the above-described specific implementation is merely an optimized solution of this patent, and any modifications or improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept are within the scope of protection of this patent.
