The receiving groove 6 and the inlet groove 5 are both waist-shaped grooves, and the receiving groove 6 connects the inlet groove 5 and the receiving chamber 2.
[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7A welding mechanism 4 is installed in the mounting block 32, and the welding mechanism 4 includes a ring gear 41, a tungsten needle 42, a limiting ring 43, a driving member 44, a transmission gear assembly 45, two first gears 46, a transmission rod 47 and a second gear 48. The limiting ring 43 and the ring gear 41 are both C-shaped. The limiting ring 43 is fixedly installed in the mounting block 32, and the ring gear 41 is coaxially rotatably installed in the limiting ring 43. A plurality of through holes 27 are opened in the ring gear 41 at equal intervals along its own axial direction, and the tungsten needle 42 is fixedly installed in a through hole 27 of the ring gear 41.
[0047] The driving member 44 is fixedly mounted in the fuselage 1, the transmission gear assembly 45 is mounted on the side wall of the outer cover 31 close to the fuselage 1, the two first gears 46 are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the outer cover 31 close to the fuselage 1, the two second gears 48 are rotatably mounted in the mounting block 32 and mesh with the gear ring 41, and the two transmission rods 47 connect the two first gears 46 and the second gears 48. In the present application, the driving member 44 can be selected as a servo motor.
[0048] The transmission gear assembly 45 is composed of a driving gear, a driven gear and two synchronous gears. The driving gear is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving member 44, the driven gear is meshed with the driving gear, the two synchronous gears are meshed with the driven gear, and the two synchronous gears are respectively meshed with the two first gears 46. The driving member 44 drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, the driven gear drives the two synchronous gears to rotate synchronously, and the two synchronous gears drive the two first gears 46 to rotate synchronously.
[0049] The end of the mounting block 32 away from the end ring 33 is fixedly mounted with a mounting ring 39 by bolts. The transmission rod 47 is composed of two rods and a coupling. One rod is rotatably mounted in the outer cover 31, and the first gear 46 is fixedly mounted at the end of the rod. The other rod is rotatably mounted in the mounting block 32 and the mounting ring 39. The first gear 46 is fixedly mounted at the end of the rod. The coupling is rotatably mounted in the outer cover 31 and connects the two rods. The first gear 46 drives the second gear 48 to rotate through the two rods and the coupling, and the second gear 48 can drive the gear ring 41 to rotate, thereby driving the tungsten needle 42 to rotate.
[0050] When welding the dense tube bundle of the heat exchanger, first insert the two ends of the U-shaped tube 38 into the two straight tubes 37, and then spot weld the joints between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 to achieve the initial fixation of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. The machine head 3 is driven to move by the machine body 1, and the U-shaped tube 38 first enters the machine head 3 from the inlet groove 5 of the end ring 33, and then enters the accommodating cavity 2 of the outer cover 31 through the accommodating groove 6 of the mounting block 32. When the end ring 33 abuts against the heat exchanger chassis 36, the machine head 3 stops moving, and at this time, the joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 is located at the tungsten needle 42. The driving member 44 drives the two first gears 46 to rotate synchronously through the transmission gear assembly 45. The first gear 46 drives the second gear 48 to rotate through the transmission rod 47. The second gear 48 drives the ring gear 41 to rotate on the limiting ring 43. The ring gear 41 drives the tungsten needle 42 to rotate around the joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. During the rotation of the tungsten needle 42, the joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 is welded.
[0051] After the U-shaped tube 38 is welded to a straight tube 37, the machine head 3 is moved away from the heat exchanger chassis 36 and pulled out, and the machine head 3 is rotated 180°, and the machine head 3 is again covered on the U-shaped tube 38, and the welding mechanism 4 is used to weld the plug-in joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and another straight tube 37, so that the welding of the two ends of a U-shaped tube 38 can be completed, and the above steps are repeated to weld the next U-shaped tube 38. In this way, when welding the heat exchanger tube bundle, the machine head 3 is moved along the length direction of the straight tube 37, and the machine head 3 is covered on the U-shaped tube 38, so that the plug-in joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 can be welded, thereby facilitating the welding of the dense tube bundle of the heat exchanger.
[0052] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A C-shaped cooling ring 7 is installed in the mounting block 32, and a cooling flow channel is formed in the cooling ring 7. The end surface of the mounting ring 39 away from the fuselage 1 abuts against the cooling ring 7, thereby positioning the cooling ring 7. The cooling ring 7 and the limiting ring 43 clamp and limit the gear ring 41, so that the rotation of the gear ring 41 is more stable. An inlet pipe 8 and an outlet pipe 9 are installed in the fuselage 1. The end of the inlet pipe 8 passes through the outer cover 31 and the mounting ring 39 and is connected to one end of the cooling ring 7. The end of the outlet pipe 9 passes through the outer cover 31 and the mounting ring 39 and is connected to the other end of the cooling ring 7.
[0053] When the welding mechanism 4 is welding, cooling water enters the cooling ring 7 from the water inlet pipe 8, flows in the cooling channel and cools the welding mechanism 4, thereby cooling the machine head 3, and the cooling water after absorbing heat flows out from the water outlet pipe 9.
[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8The end ring 33 is located on one side of the inlet groove 5 in the length direction and has an integrally formed limiting arc 13. The end ring 33 is located on the other side of the inlet groove 5 in the length direction and has a spring pin 14 embedded therein. The end of the spring pin 14 extends into the inlet groove 5. When the machine head 3 is covered on the U-shaped tube 38, the limiting arc fits on the outer wall of one straight tube 37, and the end of the spring pin 14 abuts on the outer wall of another straight tube 37, which can quickly position the machine head 3, so that the straight tube 37 to be welded is coaxial with the gear ring 41, thereby making the welding more accurate.
[0055] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 An air intake pipe 10 is installed in the fuselage 1, and the end of the air intake pipe 10 is connected to the air supply device. A plurality of air intake holes 11 are provided at the end of the outer cover 31 close to the fuselage 1, and a plurality of exhaust grooves 12 are provided on the end wall of the end ring 33 away from the mounting block 32. When welding the tube bundle, the air supply device supplies argon gas into the fuselage 1 through the air intake pipe 10, and the argon gas enters the accommodating cavity 2 of the outer cover 31 from the air intake hole 11. Since the short tube abuts against the chassis 36, the argon gas can fill the accommodating cavity 2. Argon gas, as a protective gas, plays a role in isolating air and preventing metal oxidation in the welding area, thereby improving the overall quality of the welded joint. At the same time, part of the argon gas in the accommodating cavity 2 will be discharged from the exhaust groove 12, so that the argon gas can flow in the accommodating cavity 2, further improving the protective effect of the argon gas.

The machine head 3 is driven to move by the machine body 1, and the U-shaped tube 38 first enters the machine head 3 from the inlet groove 5 of the end ring 33, and then enters the accommodating cavity 2 of the outer cover 31 through the accommodating groove 6 of the mounting block 32. When the end ring 33 abuts against the heat exchanger chassis 36, the machine head 3 stops moving, and at this time, the plug-in joint of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 is located at the tungsten needle 42. The driving member 44 drives the two first gears 46 to rotate synchronously through the transmission gear assembly 45, the first gear 46 drives the second gear 48 to rotate through the transmission rod 47, the second gear 48 drives the gear ring 41 to rotate on the limit ring 43, the gear ring 41 drives the tungsten needle 42 to rotate around the plug-in joint of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37, and the tungsten needle 42 welds the plug-in joint of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 during the rotation process. After the U-shaped tube 38 and a straight tube 37 are welded, the machine head 3 is moved away from the heat exchanger chassis 36 and pulled out, and the machine head 3 is rotated 180°, and the machine head 3 is covered on the U-shaped tube 38 again, and the welding mechanism 4 is used to weld the plug-in joint of the U-shaped tube 38 and another straight tube 37, so that the welding of the two ends of a U-shaped tube 38 can be completed, and the above steps are repeated to weld the next U-shaped tube 38. In this way, when welding the heat exchanger tube bundle, the machine head 3 is moved along the length direction of the straight tube 37, and the machine head 3 is covered on the U-shaped tube 38, so that the joint between the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37 can be welded, thereby facilitating the welding of the dense tube bundle of the heat exchanger.

When welding the straight tube 37 and the U-shaped tube 38, it is necessary to first locate the position of the tungsten needle 42 so that when the end ring 33 abuts the side wall of the chassis 36, the tungsten needle 42 can correspond to the joint between the straight tube 37 and the U-shaped tube 38.
[0063] First, the machine head 3 is sleeved on the U-shaped tube 38, and the second elastic member 24 pushes the end ring 33 to move away from the mounting block 32 through the slide rod 22, and the end ring 33 moves to abut the side wall of the chassis 36. Then, the insertion rod 19 is inserted into the insertion hole 17, and the rotating end head 18 is fixed in the insertion hole 17. At this time, the bottom end of the limit rod 20 abuts against the outer wall of the U-shaped tube 38, and the abutment point is point D, and the first elastic member 21 is in an elastically compressed state.
[0064] An annular groove 29 is formed at the joint of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. The head 3 is moved toward the side wall of the heat exchanger case 36, and the head 3 drives the limit rod 20 to move through the insertion rod 19. The limit rod 20 moves from the abutment point D toward the annular groove 29. When the abutment point of the limit rod 20 moves into the annular groove 29, the first elastic member 21 pushes the limit rod 20 to move, so that the end of the limit rod 20 is inserted into the annular groove 29.
[0065] At this time, the limit rod 20 limits the movement of the machine head 3, and the tungsten needle 42 is located at the insertion point of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. The locking member 25 is rotated to lock the slide bar 22, and the position of the end ring 33 can be locked, so that the machine head 3 is sleeved on the U-shaped tube 38, and when the end head 18 abuts against the side wall of the chassis 36, the tungsten needle 42 can correspond to the insertion point of the straight tube 37 and the U-shaped tube 38, so as to facilitate the welding of different types of heat exchanger tube bundles.
[0066] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.12 A receiving block 40 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the outer cover 31, and a receiving hole 34 is formed at the top of the receiving block 40. The top of the receiving hole 34 is a threaded hole. After the locking member 25 is rotated to lock the slide bar 22, the end head 18 is rotated to remove the insertion rod 19 from the insertion hole 17, and then the end head 18 is rotated to insert the insertion rod 19 into the receiving hole 34, so that the insertion rod 19 can be stored.
[0067] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: first, the machine head 3 is sleeved on the U-shaped tube 38, and the second elastic member 24 pushes the end ring 33 to move away from the mounting block 32 through the slide rod 22, and the end ring 33 moves to abut the side wall of the chassis 36. Then, the insertion rod 19 is inserted into the insertion hole 17, and the rotating end head 18 is fixed in the insertion hole 17. At this time, the bottom end of the limit rod 20 abuts against the outer wall of the U-shaped tube 38, and the abutment point is point D, and the first elastic member 21 is in an elastic compression state. An annular groove 29 is formed at the insertion point of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. When the machine head 3 is moved toward the side wall of the heat exchanger chassis 36, the machine head 3 drives the limit rod 20 to move through the insertion rod 19. The limiting rod 20 moves from the contact point D toward the annular groove 29. When the contact point of the limiting rod 20 moves into the annular groove 29, the first elastic member 21 pushes the limiting rod 20 to move, so that the end of the limiting rod 20 is inserted into the annular groove 29. At this time, the limiting rod 20 limits the movement of the machine head 3, and the tungsten needle 42 is located at the insertion point of the U-shaped tube 38 and the straight tube 37. The locking member 25 is rotated to lock the slide bar 22, and the position of the end ring 33 can be locked, so that the machine head 3 is sleeved on the U-shaped tube 38, and when the end head 18 abuts against the side wall of the chassis 36, the tungsten needle 42 can correspond to the insertion point of the straight tube 37 and the U-shaped tube 38, so as to facilitate the welding of different types of heat exchanger tube bundles.
[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
