[0025] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an automatic evaporator cutting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 100; a transmission assembly 200 disposed on the frame 100, the transmission assembly 200 being used to transmit an evaporator workpiece 900; a lifting assembly 300 disposed on the frame 100, the lifting assembly 300 being used to lift the evaporator workpiece 900 away from the transmission assembly 200; a positioning assembly 400 disposed on the frame 100, the positioning assembly 400 being used to restrict the movement of the evaporator workpiece 900; and a cutting assembly 500 disposed on the frame 100, the cutting assembly 500 being used to cut the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0027] The transfer assembly 200 transfers the evaporator workpiece 900 to the lifting assembly 300. The lifting assembly 300 lifts the evaporator workpiece 900, causing it to leave the transfer assembly 200, thus preventing the transfer assembly 200 from interfering with subsequent cutting of the evaporator workpiece 900. The positioning assembly 400 positions the lifted evaporator workpiece 900, fixing it and restricting its movement. Then, the cutting assembly 500 cuts the evaporator workpiece 900, completing the cutting process. After cutting, the positioning assembly 400 releases the positioning of the evaporator workpiece 900, and the lifting assembly 300 descends, bringing the evaporator workpiece 900 into contact with the transfer assembly 200. The transfer assembly 200 then transfers the evaporator workpiece 900 to the next process. Thus, the transmission component 200, lifting component 300 and positioning component 400 work together to adapt to the production line structure, eliminating the need for manual intervention and achieving fully automatic cutting of the evaporator workpiece 900, which helps improve production efficiency.
[0028] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission assembly 200 includes two support bars and a roller assembly disposed on the support bars. The support bars are connected to the frame 100, and the two support bars are located on both sides of the lifting assembly 300. The evaporator workpiece 900 is placed on the roller assembly and can move along the support bars to achieve the transmission effect.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission component 200 may also be an implementation comprising two conveyor belts located on both sides of the lifting component 300.
[0030] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting assembly 300 includes a base 310, a lifting plate 320, a guide column 330, a first driving member 340, and a support mechanism 350. The base 310 is connected to the frame 100. The guide column 330 and the first driving member 340 are disposed on the base 310. The lifting plate 320 is connected to the guide column 330 and the first driving member 340 respectively. The support mechanism 350 is connected to the base 310 and the lifting plate 320 respectively. The support mechanism 350 is used to support the lifting plate 320 to limit the lifting plate 320 from approaching the base 310.
[0031] The transmission assembly 200 transmits the evaporator workpiece 900 to the lifting assembly 300. The first driving member 340 drives the lifting plate 320 upward. The guide column 330 makes the upward movement of the lifting plate 320 more stable and avoids deviation. After the lifting plate 320 lifts the evaporator workpiece 900 away from the transmission assembly 200, the support mechanism 350 supports the lifting plate 320 and restricts the lifting plate 320 from approaching the base 310. Thus, when the evaporator workpiece 900 is cut, the support mechanism 350 can reduce the pressure on the first driving member 340 and prevent the first driving member 340 from being damaged by pressure, which is beneficial to protecting the first driving member 340. At the same time, the support mechanism 350 can prevent the lifting plate 320 from moving downward during the cutting process, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the structure.
[0032] The first driving component 340 can be implemented as a cylinder, a lead screw motor, or other similar device.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the support mechanism 350 includes at least one second driving member 351 and a first support block 352 and a second support block 353, each corresponding to one of the second driving members 351. The second driving member 351 is connected to the first support block 352, the first support block 352 is slidably connected to the base 310, and the second support block 353 is connected to the lifting plate 320. The first support block 352 is provided with a first inclined surface 354, and the second support block 353 is provided with a second inclined surface 355. The second driving member 351 can drive the first support block 352 to move below the second support block 353 and cause the first inclined surface 354 to abut against the second inclined surface 355.
[0034] The first driving member 340 drives the lifting plate 320 to move the second support block 353 upward. The second driving member 351 drives the first support block 352 to slide relative to the base 310 to below the second support block 353, so that the first inclined surface 354 of the first support block 352 abuts against the second inclined surface 355 of the second support block 353. The first support block 352 and the second support block 353 support the lifting plate 320, thereby limiting the lifting plate 320 from approaching the base 310. This can protect the first driving member 340 and reduce the pressure it receives during cutting. The structure is simple and reliable.
[0035] In the embodiment where the first driving component 340 is a cylinder, since the pressure that the cylinder can withstand is positively correlated with its volume, that is, if the cylinder is to directly withstand the pressure during cutting, it needs to have high pressure-bearing capacity, resulting in a large cylinder volume, which is inconvenient to install and has high cost. The support provided by the first support block 352 and the second support block 353 helps to reduce the pressure-bearing capacity requirements of the cylinder.
[0036] The second driving component 351 can be implemented using devices such as cylinders or lead screw motors. The second driving component 351 drives the first support block 352 to slide relative to the base 310. When the first support block 352 is under pressure, since the direction of the pressure on the first support block 352 is different from the direction of movement of the first support block 352 driven by the second driving component 351, the force on the second driving component 351 is less affected and does not affect the normal operation of the second driving component 351.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting plate 320 is provided with a buffer pad assembly 321 and a positioning pin 322. The buffer pad assembly 321 is used to abut against the evaporator workpiece 900, and the positioning pin 322 is used to be inserted into the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0038] The lifting plate 320 moves upward and the positioning pin 322 is inserted into the positioning hole of the evaporator workpiece 900 to stabilize the relative position of the lifting plate 320 and the evaporator workpiece 900. When the lifting plate 320 drives the evaporator workpiece 900 to rise, the buffer pad assembly 321 abuts against the evaporator workpiece 900, which can buffer the force between the lifting plate 320 and the evaporator workpiece 900. This helps to make the supporting effect of the lifting plate 320 on the evaporator workpiece 900 more stable during lifting, positioning, cutting and other processes, avoids the evaporator workpiece 900 from generating small vibrations, and improves the reliability of processing.
[0039] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning component 400 includes a first clamping component 410 and a second clamping component 420 located on both sides of the lifting component 300. The first clamping component 410 and the second clamping component 420 are capable of clamping the evaporator workpiece 900 to restrict the movement of the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0040] The evaporator workpiece 900 is clamped by the first clamping assembly 410 and the second clamping assembly 420 to achieve the positioning and fixing of the evaporator workpiece 900. There is no need for the evaporator workpiece 900 to have a corresponding fixing structure, which is beneficial to improve versatility and facilitates the processing of different models of evaporator workpiece 900.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first clamping assembly 410 includes a first movable seat 411, a third driving member 412, a first adjusting mechanism 413, and a plurality of first pressing blocks 414. The first movable seat 411 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The third driving member 412 is disposed on the frame 100 and connected to the first movable seat 411. The first pressing blocks 414 are slidably connected to the first movable seat 411. A cutting slit 415 is formed between adjacent first pressing blocks 414. The first adjusting mechanism 413 is disposed on the first movable seat 411 and connected to the first pressing blocks 414. The first adjusting mechanism 413 can drive the first pressing blocks 414 to move to adjust the position of the cutting slit 415. The third driving member 412 can drive the first movable seat 411 to approach the lifting assembly 300 so that the first pressing blocks 414 press against the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0042] The third driving component 412 drives the first moving seat 411 closer to the lifting assembly 300, causing multiple first pressing blocks 414 on the first moving seat 411 to abut against the evaporator workpiece 900, thus cooperating with the second clamping assembly 420 to achieve the effect of clamping the evaporator assembly. Since the cutting assembly 500 needs to contact the evaporator workpiece 900 for cutting, a cutting gap 415 is formed between adjacent first pressing blocks 414, facilitating the cutting assembly 500 to cut the evaporator workpiece 900 directly through the cutting gap 415. At the same time, for different models of evaporator workpieces 900 or processing requirements, the first adjusting mechanism 413 drives the first pressing blocks 414 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the cutting gap 415, and thus adjusting the cutting position of the evaporator workpiece 900, which helps to enhance versatility.
[0043] The first movable seat 411 can be connected to the frame 100 via a slide rail to achieve a sliding connection. The third driving component 412 can be implemented as a cylinder, lead screw motor, or other similar device. The first pressing block 414 can be connected to the first movable seat 411 via a slide rail to achieve a sliding connection. The first adjusting mechanism 413 can be implemented as including an adjusting screw and an adjusting nut corresponding to each of the first pressing blocks 414. The adjusting screw is movably mounted on the first movable seat 411, the adjusting nut is connected to the pressing block, and the adjusting nut is connected to the adjusting screw. By rotating the adjusting screw, the adjusting nut can be driven to move the first pressing block 414 along the slide rail, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the position of the cutting gap 415.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second clamping assembly 420 includes a fourth driving member 421, a second movable seat 422, multiple second pressing blocks 423, a second adjusting mechanism 424, and a side pressing block 425. The second movable seat 422 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The fourth driving member 421 is disposed on the frame 100 and connected to the second movable seat 422. The second pressing block 423 is disposed on the second movable seat 422. The side pressing block 425 is slidably connected to the second movable seat 422. The second adjusting mechanism 424 is disposed on the second movable seat 422 and connected to the side pressing block 425 to adjust the position of the side pressing block 425 relative to the second movable seat 422. The fourth driving member 421 can drive the second movable seat 422 closer to the lifting assembly 300 so that the second pressing block 423 and the side pressing block 425 press against the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0045] The fourth driving component 421 drives the second movable seat 422 closer to the lifting assembly 300, causing multiple second pressing blocks 423 on the second movable seat 422 to abut against the evaporator workpiece 900. The second pressing blocks 423 cooperate with the first pressing block 414 to clamp the evaporator workpiece 900. At the same time, the side pressing block 425 also abuts against the edge of the evaporator workpiece 900 to restrict the movement of the evaporator workpiece 900 and improve stability. Since the width of different models of evaporator workpieces 900 is different, the position of the side pressing block 425 relative to the second movable seat 422 is adjusted by the second adjustment structure, so that the side pressing block 425 can be adapted to evaporator workpieces 900 of different widths, improving versatility.
[0046] The fourth driving component 421 can be implemented as a cylinder, a lead screw motor, or other similar device. The second movable seat 422 can be connected to the frame 100 via a slide rail to achieve a sliding connection. The side pressure block 425 can also be connected to the second movable seat 422 via a slide rail to achieve a sliding connection. The second adjusting mechanism 424 can be implemented by including an adjusting screw and an adjusting nut. The adjusting screw is rotatably mounted on the second movable seat 422, and the adjusting nut is connected to the side pressure block 425. The adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw. Rotating the adjusting screw can drive the adjusting nut to move and unwind along the slide rail to adjust the position of the side pressure block 425 relative to the second movable seat 422.
[0047] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cutting assembly 500 includes a third movable seat 510, a movable frame 520, a first lifting mechanism 530, a fifth driving member 540, a third adjusting mechanism 550, and a plurality of cutting blades 560. The third movable seat 510 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The first lifting mechanism 530 is disposed on the frame 100 and connected to the third movable seat 510. The movable frame 520 and the fifth driving member 540 are disposed on the third movable seat 510. The fifth driving member 540 is connected to the movable frame 520 to drive the movable frame 520 closer to the lifting assembly 300. The cutting blades 560 are movably disposed on the movable frame 520. The third adjusting mechanism 550 is disposed on the movable frame 520 and connected to the cutting blades 560. The third adjusting mechanism 550 can adjust the position of the cutting blades 560 relative to the movable frame 520.
[0048] The fifth driving component 540 drives the movable frame 520 to move relative to the third movable seat 510, bringing the cutting blade 560 on the movable frame 520 closer to the lifting assembly 300. This causes the vertical projection of the cutting blade 560 to partially overlap with the evaporator workpiece 900. The first lifting mechanism 530 drives the third movable seat 510 to move vertically, bringing the cutting blade 560 into contact with the evaporator workpiece 900 for cutting. The fifth driving component 540's movement of the movable frame 520 controls the cutting depth of the cutting blade 560, while the first lifting mechanism 530's movement of the third movable seat 510 controls the cutting length of the cutting blade 560, thus controlling the cutting process on the evaporator workpiece 900. For different models of evaporator workpieces 900 or different cutting requirements, the third adjusting mechanism 550 adjusts the position of the cutting blade 560 relative to the movable frame 520, adjusting the cutting position of the cutting blade 560 on the evaporator workpiece 900 to meet the cutting needs.
[0049] The fifth driving component 540 can be implemented using devices such as cylinders or lead screw motors. The third movable seat 510 can be connected to the frame 100 via a slide rail to achieve a sliding connection. The first lifting mechanism 530 can be implemented using devices such as cylinders or lead screw motors.
[0050] The movable frame 520 can be slidably connected to the third movable seat 510 via a slide rail. The cutting blade 560 can also be slidably connected to the movable frame 520 via a slide rail. The third adjustment mechanism 550 can be implemented by including an adjustment screw and an adjustment nut corresponding to each cutting blade 560. The adjustment screw is rotatably mounted on the movable frame 520, and the adjustment nut is connected to the cutting blade 560. The adjustment nut is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw. Rotating the adjustment screw can drive the adjustment nut to move the cutting blade 560 along the slide rail, thereby adjusting the position of the cutting blade 560 relative to the movable frame 520.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, a flaring assembly 600 disposed on the frame 100 is further included, the flaring assembly 600 being used to flare the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0052] Since the evaporator workpiece 900 needs to be cut and flared during the production process, after the positioning component 400 positions and fixes the evaporator workpiece 900, the flaring component 600 flares the pipe opening on the evaporator workpiece 900, and the cutting component 500 cuts the evaporator workpiece 900. That is, the evaporator workpiece 900 is fixed at one time and flaring and cutting are performed at the same time, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0053] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the flaring assembly 600 includes a fourth movable seat 610, a second lifting mechanism 620, multiple pressing blocks 630, a fourth adjusting mechanism 640, a sixth driving member 650, a mounting plate 660, and multiple punches 670. The fourth movable seat 610 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The second lifting mechanism 620 is disposed on the frame 100 and connected to the fourth movable seat 610. The pressing blocks 630 are disposed on the fourth movable seat 610 and are used to press against the evaporator workpiece 900. The sixth driving member 650 is disposed on the fourth movable seat 610 and is connected to the mounting plate 660. The punches 670 are disposed on the mounting plate 660 and the sixth driving member 650 can drive the mounting plate 660 closer to the lifting assembly 300 so that the punches 670 flare the evaporator workpiece 900.
[0054] The second lifting mechanism 620 drives the fourth movable seat 610 to move, causing multiple clamping blocks 630 on the fourth movable seat 610 to approach the lifting assembly 300. The clamping blocks 630 press against the evaporator workpiece 900, and the clamping blocks 630 and the lifting plate 320 clamp the evaporator workpiece 900, preparing for the subsequent punching and flaring by the punch 670. The fourth driving component 421 drives the mounting plate 660 to move, causing multiple punches 670 on the mounting plate 660 to punch and flare the pipe openings on the evaporator workpiece 900. By clamping the evaporator workpiece 900 with the clamping blocks 630, movement of the evaporator workpiece 900 can be prevented when the subsequent punches 670 punch and flare the evaporator workpiece 900, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the flaring process.
[0055] The second lifting mechanism 620 can be implemented by including components such as a cylinder and a lead screw motor; alternatively, it can be implemented by including a motor, a transmission belt, and at least two lead screws, with the motor driving all the lead screws to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt, thereby achieving the effect of lifting the fourth movable seat 610. The clamping block 630 can be slidably connected to the fourth movable seat 610 via a slide rail. The fourth adjusting mechanism 640 can be implemented by including adjusting screws and adjusting nuts corresponding to the clamping blocks 630. The adjusting screws are rotatably mounted on the fourth movable seat 610, and the adjusting nuts are connected to the clamping blocks 630. The adjusting nuts are threadedly connected to the adjusting screws, and by rotating the adjusting screws, the adjusting nuts can drive the clamping blocks 630 to slide relative to the fourth movable seat 610 along the slide rail.
[0056] The specific process for processing the evaporator workpiece 900 is as follows: the transfer component 200 transfers the evaporator workpiece 900 to the lifting component 300, the lifting component 300 lifts the evaporator workpiece 900 so that the evaporator workpiece 900 leaves the transfer component 200, the positioning component 400 fixes the evaporator workpiece 900, that is, the first clamping component 410 and the second clamping component 420 clamp the evaporator workpiece 900, the clamping block 630 in the flaring component 600 moves down to clamp the evaporator workpiece 900, then the punch component 670 performs flaring processing on the evaporator workpiece 900, and then the cutting component 500 moves down to perform cutting processing on the evaporator workpiece 900. After the flaring and cutting processes are completed, the flaring assembly 600 and the cutting assembly 500 are reset, the first clamping assembly 410 and the second clamping assembly 420 move away from the evaporator workpiece 900, and the lifting assembly 300 moves down so that the evaporator workpiece 900 comes into contact with the transfer assembly 200. The transfer assembly 200 then transfers the evaporator workpiece 900 to the next process.
[0057] Through the above process, the evaporator workpiece 900 can be processed fully automatically, adapted to the production line, and requires no manual assistance, which helps to improve production efficiency.
