Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a heating / cooling tunnel structure and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Many parts need to be heated or cooled during the processing. Therefore, it is necessary to cool / heat the parts of a certain cycle to the required temperature within a specified time. Therefore, a tunnel with cooling / heating function is needed to cool or heat the parts. However, how to enter the tunnel conveniently and quickly for maintenance is a problem that has not been completely solved.

[0003] In the prior art: there are two maintenance methods for similar tunnels. One is to enter and maintain from the parts entrances and exits at both ends of the tunnel. However, this method is only suitable for tunnels with a short longitudinal distance. The longer the tunnel, the more difficult it is for maintenance personnel to enter and withdraw. Another method is to build the tunnel in sections. One side of each tunnel section is hinged to the conveying equipment. Maintenance personnel can lift each tunnel section 45 degrees on the other side and enter from the side. However, this method also has certain limitations. First, the tunnel body cannot be too large or too heavy. Second, the tunnel cannot be hard-connected with the cooling and heating equipment installed in other locations, otherwise the tunnel cannot be lifted at 45 degrees. In other words, the tunnel and the cooling / heating equipment must be in one body. Moreover, many cooling / heating equipment are heavy. If they are integrated with the tunnel as a whole, it is not convenient to lift them at 45 degrees. These are not what those skilled in the art expect to see. Summary of the invention

[0006] Each of the inspection door structures comprises a door frame and a movable door panel; the door frame is fixedly connected to the adjacent tunnel body insulation panel, and one side of the movable door panel is rotatably connected to the door frame;

[0007] Among them, a dynamic air supply duct main body is fixedly arranged on the inner side of each of the movable door panels, and a dynamic air supply duct transition section is fixedly arranged on the inner side of each of the tunnel body insulation panels, so that when any of the movable door panels is opened, a dynamic air supply duct main body is brought out, and after the movable door panels are closed, the dynamic air supply duct main body and the dynamic air supply duct transition section are connected to form a complete dynamic air supply duct.

[0020] Generally speaking, a cooling or heating tunnel is inevitably built on the conveying equipment. The tunnel has a certain degree of closure, and the top and left and right sides of the tunnel are generally covered with supply and exhaust air ducts. However, conventional air ducts are bolted in sections, are immovable, and are not easy to disassemble. Even if an inspection door is installed on the side of the tunnel, it is impossible to enter because the side covers the air duct; this will bring great difficulties to the maintenance of the conveying equipment. Therefore, how to solve the maintenance convenience of the conveying equipment inside the tunnel has become a difficult problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently.

[0021] Based on the above problems, the present invention can distribute several maintenance entrances in the tunnel by adjusting the structure of the air duct inside the tunnel, which can completely solve the problem of difficulty in entering the tunnel for maintenance.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present embodiment relates to a heating / cooling tunnel structure, which is applied to a conveying device 9. The heating / cooling tunnel structure is an inverted U-shaped structure including a top surface, a left side surface and a right side surface; the left side surface or the right side surface of the heating / cooling tunnel structure is set as the maintenance side of the heating / cooling tunnel structure, and the other side surface and the top surface are referred to as other parts of the tunnel body 10; specifically, the maintenance side of the heating / cooling tunnel structure includes a plurality of maintenance door structures, a plurality of tunnel body insulation panels 8, a plurality of dynamic air supply pipe main bodies 1 and a plurality of dynamic air supply pipe transition sections 2; a plurality of maintenance door structures and a plurality of tunnel body insulation panels 8 are alternately arranged; each maintenance door structure includes a door frame 5 and a movable door panel 6; the door frame 5 is fixedly connected to the adjacent tunnel body insulation panel 8, and one side of the movable door panel 6 is rotatably connected to the door frame 5 by a hinge 3 (for example, two upper and lower hinges 3); wherein each movable door panel 6 is fixedly provided with a dynamic air supply duct main body 1 on the inner side, and a dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 is fixedly provided on the inner side of each tunnel body insulation board 8, so that when any movable door panel 6 is opened, a dynamic air supply duct main body 1 is brought out (when any movable door panel 6 is in an open state, the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 fixed on the movable door panel 6 is brought out by the movable door panel 6 and separated from the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 adjacent to the dynamic air supply duct main body 1), and after closing the movable door panel 6, the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 are connected to form a complete dynamic air supply duct (that is, when all movable door panels 6 are in a closed state, the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 fixed on all movable door panels 6 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 fixed on all tunnel body insulation boards 8 are connected to form a complete dynamic air supply duct, so that cold air or hot air can be normally transported).

[0024] Here, it is worth mentioning that the movable door panel 6 in this embodiment can only be opened to the outside of the tunnel, and the inner surfaces of the tunnel body insulation board 8, the door frame 5 and the movable door panel 6 are on the same plane.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lock is provided on the other side of the movable door panel 6 (i.e., the side of the movable door panel 6 that is not fixed to the door frame 5 through the hinge 3), and a buckle plate that cooperates with the lock to lock is provided on the door frame 5, and the lock and the buckle plate form a lock structure 4; so that the movable door panel 6 can be locked when the equipment is running to ensure safety.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic air supply duct body 1 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 are both square air duct structures; the end surface of the dynamic air supply duct body 1 adjacent to the lock structure 4 is a first inclined surface, and the end of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 adjacent to the first inclined surface is a second inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface. Further, preferably, the angle between the first inclined surface and the movable door panel 6 is 65°-75° (for example, 65°, 70°, 71° or 75°, etc.), and this angle can ensure that the dynamic air supply duct body 1 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 will not scrape each other when the movable door panel 6 is opened or closed.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the materials of the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 are both sheet metal; the sheet metals at both ends of the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 are not flanged, and sealing strips 7 with self-clamping properties are provided on the sheet metal edges at both ends of the dynamic air supply duct main body 1; the sheet metals at both ends of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 are flanged; in this way, it can be ensured that the sealing strip 7 on the dynamic air supply duct main body 1 is in contact with the flange of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2, the flange is one surface, and the sealing effect will be better.

[0028] Since the manufacturing and installation process of other parts 10 of the tunnel and the conveying equipment 9 is not the focus of the present invention, it will not be described in detail here. The following is a detailed description of the installation method of the maintenance side of the heating / cooling tunnel structure in the embodiment of the present invention:

[0029] Please continue to refer to the attached Figure 1-4 First, a tunnel insulation board 8 is fixed at the leftmost or rightmost end of the inspection side using aluminum profiles and rivets. Each insulation board 8 and door frame 5 have concave-convex grooves, which facilitates docking and installation. After the insulation board 8 is installed, the concave-convex grooves are used to dock a door frame 5, and then dock a tunnel insulation board 8, and thus one insulation board 8 and one door frame 5 are installed repeatedly.

[0030] Secondly, place the movable door panel 6 in the door frame 5, fix the upper and lower hinges 3 to ensure that the movable door panel 6 can be freely rotated and opened; then install a lock structure 4 on the movable door panel 6 and the door frame 5 to lock the door when the equipment is running to ensure safety. Here, it should be noted that the movable door panel 6 can only be opened to the outside of the tunnel, and when making the tunnel body insulation board 8, the door frame 5, and the movable door panel 6, it is necessary to ensure that the inner surfaces of the three are on the same plane.

[0031] Next, install the internal dynamic air supply pipe body 1 and the dynamic air supply pipe transition section 2. Specifically, the dynamic air supply pipe body 1 is a square air duct, and the end face of one end of the dynamic air supply pipe body 1 is a plane perpendicular to the movable door panel 6 (that is, the end face is at a right angle to the side face, or it can be said that the end face is at a right angle to the surface where the movable door panel 6 is located), and the end face of the other end is an inclined surface (that is, the end face is at an inclined angle to the side face, that is, the end face is at an inclined angle to the surface where the movable door panel 6 is located); in this embodiment, the angle of the inclined angle is about 70° (65°-75°), and this angle can ensure that the dynamic air supply pipe body 1 and the dynamic air supply pipe transition section 2 will not scratch each other when the movable door panel 6 is opened and closed. The air duct is made of sheet metal, and the sheet metal at both ends is not turned up. The sealing strip 7 with self-clamping performance is installed on the sheet metal edges at both ends. The sealing strip 7 is to ensure the sealing of the air duct joint. The dynamic air supply pipe body 1 is close to the inner side of the movable door panel 6 and is fixed to the movable door panel 6 by rivets. During installation, it should be noted that one end of the right-angled end face is in the same direction as one end of the hinge 3 of the movable door panel 6 (i.e. one end of the right-angled end face is installed adjacent to the hinge 3 of the movable door panel 6), and one end of the beveled end face is in the same direction as one end of the lock of the movable door panel 6 (i.e. one end of the beveled end face is installed adjacent to the lock of the movable door panel 6). Then, a dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 is correspondingly installed on the tunnel body insulation board 8. Specifically, the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 is fixed to the tunnel body insulation board 8 by rivets. The dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 is also a square air duct. In order to dock with the dynamic air supply duct main body 1, the end face of one end of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 must also be at a right angle to the side surface, and the other end is at an oblique angle to the side surface (and the inclined surface of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 cooperates with the inclined surface of the dynamic air supply duct main body 1). In addition, the sheet metal at both ends of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 needs to be flanged, so that the sealing strip 7 on the dynamic air supply duct can be in contact with the flange of the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2. The flange is a surface, and the sealing effect will be better. That is, in the present invention, each movable door panel 6 corresponds to a dynamic air supply duct body 1, and each tunnel body insulation board 8 corresponds to a dynamic air supply duct transition section 2; thus, opening the movable door panel 6 can bring out a dynamic air supply duct body 1, so that maintenance personnel can easily enter the tunnel body; and after closing the movable door panel 6, the dynamic air supply duct body 1 and the dynamic air supply duct transition section 2 will be connected to form a complete dynamic air supply duct, so that hot air or cold air can be normally transported.
