[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "mounting", "connecting", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 5 Figures 1 to 5 , a tube expanding machine for a heat exchanger, comprising: a workbench 100, on which an installation seat 110 for placing a heat exchanger to be tube-expanded is movably arranged; a clamping seat 200, detachably connected to the workbench 100, and the clamping seat 200 is provided with a groove adapted to the shape of the bent pipe end 101 of the heat exchanger; a pushing mechanism 300, arranged on the workbench 100, for pushing the installation seat 110 to move towards one side of the clamping seat 200, so that the bent pipe end 101 of the heat exchanger is fitted into the groove; a tube expanding member 400, detachably connected to the workbench 100, one end of the tube expanding member 400 faces the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger, and the tube expanding member 400 is connected with a first linear driving mechanism for driving it to reciprocate linearly. Driven by the first linear driving mechanism, the tube expanding member 400 can be inserted into the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger for tube expanding treatment.

[0029] For the tube expanding machine of the above structure, during use, first, the heat exchanger is fixedly placed on the installation seat 110, and then the pushing mechanism 300 pushes the installation seat 110 to move towards one side of the clamping seat 200, so that the bent pipe end 101 of the heat exchanger is fitted into the corresponding groove on the clamping seat 200, thereby applying force to the installation seat 110 for locking on both sides. Finally, the first linear driving mechanism drives the tube expanding member 400 to be inserted into the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger, thereby performing tube expanding treatment on the heat exchanger. Among them, the clamping seat 200 and the tube expanding member 400 are detachable relative to the workbench 100, enabling people to quickly replace the clamping seat 200 and the tube expanding member 400, so as to adapt to the tube expanding treatment of different styles of heat exchangers, and further achieving the effect that one device can process multiple styles of heat exchangers, improving the applicability of the device.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the workbench 100 is provided with a first guide rail 410 whose extending direction faces the clamping seat 200. A first moving seat 420 is movably arranged on the first guide rail 410, and the tube expanding member 400 is detachably connected to the first moving seat 420. The first linear driving mechanism drives the first moving seat 420 to move along the length direction of the first guide rail 410. Specifically, the cooperation between the first guide rail 410 and the first moving seat 420 is beneficial to guiding and limiting the movement of the tube expanding member 400, so as to ensure that the tube expanding member 400 can accurately align with the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger, and avoid the movement of the tube expanding member 400 from shifting and affecting the tube expanding treatment of the heat exchanger. It can be understood that, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the first moving seat 420, two first guide rails 410 are provided, and the two first guide rails 410 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first moving seat.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, one of the expansion member 400 and the first moving seat 420 is provided with a first slot 401 with an upward-facing notch, and the other is provided with a first clamping portion 402 that tightly fits with the first slot 401, so that the expansion member 400 can be detachably installed relative to the first moving seat 420. Specifically, the expansion member 400 can be detachably installed relative to the first moving seat 420, such that people only need to pull the first clamping portion 402 upward from the first slot 401 to quickly disassemble and replace the expansion member 400, and the operation is simple. Among them, the first slot 401 is set as a square strip, and the shape of the first clamping portion 402 is adapted to that of the first slot 401, so that the two can form a tight fit with surface-to-surface contact, thereby avoiding the problem of looseness of the expansion member 400 during use. Of course, it can be understood that a magnetic attraction structure can also be provided between the expansion member 400 and the first moving seat 420 for locking, and unlocking can be completed by overcoming the magnetic attraction force between the two, and the disassembly is also relatively fast and convenient.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the first moving seat 420 includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates 421, the first slot 401 is arranged along the vertical direction on the mounting plate 421, the expansion member 400 includes a clamping plate 403 and an expansion rod 404 connected to the clamping plate 403, the expansion rod 404 extends along a direction parallel to the first guide rail 410, the clamping plate 403 is clamped between the two mounting plates 421, and the first clamping portions 402 are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping plate 403 corresponding to the first slot 401. Specifically, the clamping plate 403 is correspondingly inserted into the first slot 401 on the mounting plate 421 through the first clamping portion 402, which is beneficial to clamping the clamping plate 403 on both sides, thereby facilitating the avoidance of the deviation of the expansion rod 404 during the tube expansion process, and further ensuring the accurate alignment of the movement of the expansion rod 404. It can be understood that in order to facilitate people to pull out the expansion member 400, a hook portion 405 for facilitating people to apply force to lift the expansion member 400 can also be provided on the upper part of the clamping plate 403.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first linear drive mechanism includes a lead screw 500 parallel to the first guide rail 410. The first moving seat 420 is movably disposed on the lead screw 500. The lead screw 500 is connected to a rotary motor that drives it to rotate. Under the drive of the rotary motor, the lead screw 500 drives the first moving seat 420 to reciprocate toward the side of the clamping seat 200. Specifically, the first moving seat 420 is slidably connected to the lead screw 500 through a ball nut. The lead screw 500 is connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. Thus, under the drive of the rotary motor, the lead screw 500 rotates to drive the ball nut to move along its length direction, and further drives the first moving seat 420 to move. Among them, the use of the lead screw 500 transmission method can not only regulate the moving speed of the first moving seat 420, but also adjust the displacement of the first moving seat 420, which is beneficial for the expansion tube member 400 to expand the metal tube with a stable feed amount, improving the smoothness and moving accuracy of the tube expansion process. Of course, in some embodiments, the first linear drive mechanism can also be a motor-driven gear-rack method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0034] See Figure 5 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the workbench 100 is provided with a fixed seat 210 opposite to the first moving seat 420. One of the clamping seat 200 and the fixed seat 210 is provided with a second slot 201 extending in the vertical direction, and the other is provided with a second clamping portion that tightly fits with the second slot 201, so that the clamping seat 200 can be detachably installed relative to the fixed seat 210 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the formation of a tightly fitting plug-in installation between the clamping seat 200 and the fixed seat 210 is beneficial for simplifying the installation process of the clamping seat 200 and improving the installation efficiency of the clamping seat 200. Of course, the clamping seat 200 is provided with a lifting portion 202 through which a human hand can pass. The lifting portion 202 can provide a force application position for lifting the clamping seat 200, thus facilitating people's daily use. It can be understood that a magnetic attraction structure can also be provided between the clamping seat 200 and the fixed seat 210 for locking. Unlocking only needs to overcome the magnetic attraction force between the two to complete the separation, and the disassembly is also relatively fast and convenient.

[0035] See Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing mechanism 300 includes a second moving seat 310 movably disposed on the first guide rail 410. The second moving seat 310 is connected to a first linear driver 320 that drives it to reciprocate linearly. The second moving seat 310 is detachably connected to a crimping sleeve 330 that can fit over the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger. The axes of the crimping sleeve 330, the expansion member 400, and the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger are collinear. Specifically, driving the crimping sleeve 330 to fit over the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger by the first linear driver 320 is beneficial to reducing deformation phenomena such as inclination of the straight pipe end 102 of the heat exchanger during the tube expanding process, thereby improving the quality of the tube expanding of the product. Among them, in order to facilitate the replacement of the crimping sleeve 330, the second moving seat 310 is provided with a third slot, and multiple crimping sleeves 330 are connected to the same plug-in board. The plug-in board is provided with a third clamping portion that tightly fits with the third slot. The plug-in board and the second moving seat 310 form a plug-in installation, which can also achieve the effect of quickly replacing the crimping sleeve 330 to facilitate the subsequent cooperation of the crimping sleeve 330 with heat exchangers of different styles. It can be understood that the first linear driver 320 can be selected as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder for driving according to the actual situation.

[0036] See Figure 3 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the workbench 100 movably has a third moving seat 120 located between the clamping seat 200 and the pressing mechanism 300. The third moving seat 120 is connected to a second linear driving mechanism that drives it to move linearly back and forth. The mounting seat 110 is disposed on the third moving seat 120. Driven by the second linear driving mechanism, the mounting seat 110 can move to a position aligned with the clamping seat 200. Specifically, the workbench 100 is provided with a protective cover 103 that encloses a square space for tube expanding processing, and an area where the third moving seat 120 extends out of the square space is reserved. Then people can move the mounting seat 110 out of the protective cover 103 through the second linear driving mechanism, which is beneficial for people to install the heat exchanger at a position where the mounting seat 110 is far from the tube expanding process, improving the safety of the operator. It can be understood that the second linear driving mechanism can be selected as a motor-driven lead screw mechanism or a motor-driven gear and rack mechanism according to actual requirements.

[0037] See Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, the third moving seat 120 is provided with a second guide rail 121 parallel to the first guide rail 410. The mounting seat 110 is movably arranged on the second guide rail 121. Driven by the pressing mechanism 300, the mounting seat 110 moves along the length direction of the second guide rail 121. Specifically, when the mounting seat 110 moves to the position aligned with the clamping seat 200, the pressing mechanism 300 drives the mounting seat 110 to move along the length direction of the second guide rail 121 close to the clamping seat 200, so as to play a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the mounting seat 110, and further avoid the deviation of the movement of the mounting seat 110, which may affect the subsequent processing.

[0038] See Figure 3 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the workbench 100 is provided with a mounting frame 130. The mounting frame 130 is movably provided with a pressing seat 140 located above the mounting seat 110. The pressing seat 140 is connected with a second linear driver 150 that drives it to reciprocate in the vertical direction. Specifically, by moving the pressing seat 140 to abut against the heat exchanger to be processed, a pressing force in the vertical direction is applied to the heat exchanger, so as to prevent the heat exchanger from being misaligned during the tube expanding process. It can be understood that the second linear driver 150 can be selected as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder for driving according to the actual situation.

[0039] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
