Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aluminum alloy brazing, and more particularly to a scraping brazing device for aluminum alloy pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Brazing is a welding method in which a filler metal with a flux that is below the melting point of the workpiece and the workpiece are heated to the melting temperature of the filler metal, and the liquid filler metal is used to fill the gaps in the solid workpiece to connect the metals.

[0003] Currently, commonly used brazing methods for aluminum alloys include flame brazing, furnace brazing, and scraping brazing.

[0004] Flame brazing is convenient and quick, but the brazing temperature is not easy to control. Furthermore, the melting temperature of the filler metal used in flame brazing, such as Al-Si filler metal, is around 550℃, which is similar to the melting point of aluminum or aluminum alloys. This can cause the base material grains to become coarse, resulting in phenomena such as dissolution defects.

[0005] Furnace brazing requires complex equipment and is costly, but it is suitable for brazing connections of complex parts.

[0006] Scraping brazing can be performed using Sn-based filler metals; currently, scraping brazing is generally done manually, which is not only inefficient but also easily leads to a waste of a large amount of filler metal and flux. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a scraping brazing device for aluminum alloy tubes, comprising: a support mechanism 10, a drive mechanism 20, an inner and outer wall scraping mechanism 30, and a tube fixing mechanism 40; the support mechanism 10 includes: a mounting base 11, a molten pool 12, and a heating ring 13; the molten pool 12 is disposed on the mounting base 11 for placing brazing filler metal; the heating ring 13 is disposed on the molten pool 12 for heating the molten pool 12; the drive mechanism 20 includes: a motor 21, a gear shaft 22, a driven gear 23, and a cylinder 24; the motor 21 is disposed on the mounting base 11, and its output end is connected to the gear shaft 22; the cylinder 24 is rotatably disposed on the gear shaft 22. 2. The outer periphery is parallel to the axial direction of the gear shaft 22; an internal gear 241 is provided inside the cylinder 24; a driving gear 221 is provided on the gear shaft 22; the driven gear 23 is meshed with the driving gear 221 and the internal gear 241 at both ends respectively; the inner and outer wall scraping mechanism 30 includes: an inner scraper 31 and an outer scraper 32; one end of the inner scraper 31 is elastically connected to the gear shaft 22, and the other end extends into the molten pool 12; one end of the outer scraper 32 is elastically connected to the inner periphery of the cylinder 24, and the other end extends into the molten pool 12; a clamping area for clamping the base material is formed between the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32; the pipe fixing mechanism 40 is provided on the mounting base 11 for fixing the base material.

[0058] Specifically, when the motor 21 starts, it can drive the gear shaft 22 and the drive gear 221 to rotate. Then, the drive gear 221 drives the driven gear 23 to rotate, and the driven gear 23 drives the inner gear 241 to rotate. The rotating inner gear 241 drives the cylinder 24 and the outer scraper 32 connected to the cylinder to rotate. The rotating gear shaft 22 drives the inner scraper 31 to rotate, thereby realizing the scraping of the base material 60 by the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32.

[0059] In the application, please refer to Figure 2 The base material 60 can be tubular; the gear shaft 22 and the cylinder 24 are concentrically positioned; correspondingly, during brazing, the tube fixing mechanism 40 fixes the base material 60 at a position concentric with the gear shaft 22, and then clamps the base material 60 by the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32. As the motor 21 starts and drives the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32 to rotate around the axis of the gear shaft 22, the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32 can scrape the clamped base material 60. During brazing, the base material 60 is clamped and fixed in the molten pool 12. Then, the heating ring 13 is activated to heat the brazing filler metal to a suitable temperature and maintain that temperature, ensuring the molten brazing filler metal surface covers the base material 60, the inner scraper 31, and the outer scraper 32. Then, the motor 21 is started to perform scraping brazing.

[0060] It should be noted that the description assumes the gear shaft 22 is vertically positioned; the motor 21 can be positioned below the gear shaft 22; the driving gear 221 can be positioned at the end of the gear shaft 22 near the motor 21. The driven gear 23 is horizontally positioned; the molten pool 12 is positioned above the driven gear 23.

[0061] In a further improved embodiment, both the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32 include: a curved rod 33, a straight rod 34, a spring 35, and a scraper head 36; one end of the straight rod 34 is connected to the inner circumference of the gear shaft 22 or the cylinder 24; the curved rod 33 is L-shaped, and one end is slidably connected to the straight rod 34, while the other end extends into the molten pool 12; the two ends of the spring 35 are respectively connected to the curved rod 33 and the straight rod 34; the scraper head 36 is disposed at the other end of the curved rod 33.

[0062] Specifically, the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32 can be configured to have the same structure and dimensions, and be symmetrically arranged. The spring 35 allows the curved rod 33 to provide clamping force to the mother material 60 when clamping it.

[0063] Furthermore, the inner scraper 31 and the outer scraper 32 also include: a connecting rod 37 and a tightening member 38; one end of the connecting rod 37 is connected to the inner circumference of the gear shaft 22 or the cylinder 24, and the other end is slidably connected to the straight rod 34; the right side of the straight rod 34 is provided with a threaded inclined surface; the tightening member 38 is provided on the threaded inclined surface and is used to adjust the extension length of the straight rod 34 relative to the connecting rod 37.

[0064] In other words, in this embodiment, the extension and retraction lengths of the connecting rod 37 and the straight rod 34 can be adjusted by tightening and loosening the tightening member 38 to adapt to the base material 60 of different thicknesses.

[0065] The connecting rod 37 can be sleeved inside the straight rod 34; the straight rod 34 can be sleeved inside the curved rod 33. The end of the curved rod 33 near the spring 35 may have a protrusion to lock and fix the spring 35.

[0066] In one embodiment, a locking head is provided on one end of the crank rod 33; a locking groove is provided on the straight rod 34 to cooperate with the locking head in order to prevent the crank rod 33 and the straight rod 34 from separating.

[0067] In another embodiment, the scraper head 36 is rotatably adjustable on the crank 33; the radial sides of the scraper head 36 along its own rotation direction are the cutting edge and the horizontal wheel surface, respectively.

[0068] Specifically, the bottom of the crank 33 is provided with a groove; the scraper head 36 is installed in the groove. By rotating the scraper head 36, it can rotate to contact the side of the base material 60 to control whether to scrape the outer wall of the base material 60. When the cutting surface of the scraper head 36 is close to the base material 60, when the motor 21 is started, the inner scraper rod 31 and / or the outer scraper rod 32 will scrape the base material 60; when the horizontal wheel surface of the scraper head 36 is close to the base material 60, when the motor 21 is started, the horizontal wheel on the horizontal wheel surface will slide relative to the base material 60 without scraping the base material 60.

[0069] In a more specific embodiment, the inner scraper 31 is aligned with the ends of the outer scraper 32.

[0070] Specifically, during brazing, the base material 60, the inner scraper 31, and the outer scraper 32 are aligned at their ends to ensure the brazing effect.

[0071] In application, multiple molten pools 12 may be included and evenly distributed around the circumference of the gear shaft 22; correspondingly, multiple inner and outer wall scraping mechanisms 30 may be included to ensure that each molten pool 12 has an inner scraper 31 and an outer scraper 32 extending into it. When the motor 21 is started, multiple inner and outer wall scraping mechanisms 30 can scrape the base material 60 simultaneously, which can further improve the welding efficiency.

[0072] Furthermore, the cylinder 24 is rotatably fitted around the outer periphery of the molten pool 12.

[0073] Specifically, the cylinder 24 can be connected to the molten pool 12 via the bearing 50, which makes the overall structure more compact and stable.

[0074] In one embodiment, the support mechanism 10 further includes: a first support rod 14, a second support rod 15, and a third support rod 16; the first support rod 14, the second support rod 15, and the third support rod 16 are all fixed on the mounting base 11; the driven gear 23 is rotatably disposed on the first support rod 14; the molten pool 12 is disposed on the second support rod 15; and the pipe fixing mechanism 40 is disposed on the third support rod 16.

[0075] The driven gear 23 can be connected to the first support rod 14 via the bearing 50. In an embodiment that includes multiple molten pool grooves 12, one molten pool groove 12 can be directly connected to the first support rod 14, specifically ensuring that each molten pool groove 12 is supported.

[0076] The third strut 16 may include four struts and is disposed on the outer periphery of the mounting base 11.

[0077] A baffle extending horizontally to the gear shaft 22 is provided at the upper end of the wall of the molten pool 12, but it does not contact the gear shaft 22. Two heating rings 13 are installed on the lower end face of the molten pool 12 for heating the molten pool 12. The pipe fixing device 25 is installed on the third support rod 16, and its structure can be similar to a three-jaw chuck, which fixes the base material 26 by adjusting the position of the jaws.

[0078] In applications, the solder can be either SnZn9 solder or SnBiIn3Zn high-entropy alloy solder.

[0079] In one implementation method, during use, the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32 can be reduced by adjusting the tightening member 38, and the end face of the scraper head 36 can be adjusted to determine whether the inner or outer wall of the base material 60 is scraped. Then, a 6061 aluminum alloy tube is passed through the middle of the tube fixing mechanism 40 as the base material 60. The height is adjusted so that the lower end face of the base material 60 is parallel to the bottom surface of the scraper head 36 of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32. The position of the locking teeth of the tube fixing mechanism 25 is adjusted to fix the base material 60. The tightening member 38 is adjusted again to appropriately extend the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32, so that the scraper head 36 is pressed tightly against the tube wall with a certain pressure. SnZn9 brazing filler metal and an appropriate amount of rosin are placed in the molten pool 12. The heating ring 13 is energized and put into operation, heating the brazing filler metal to 220°C and maintaining the temperature, so that the molten brazing filler metal surface covers the scraper head 36. Turn on motor 21 and scrape. After a certain period of time, an aluminum alloy tube with a layer of brazing filler metal welded to its inner or outer wall can be obtained. Remove the tube and heat the brazing filler metal layers of two 6061 aluminum alloy tubes with matching dimensions and brazing filler metal welded to their inner and outer walls respectively to obtain a brazed aluminum alloy tube. Observe the joint morphology using a scanning electron microscope as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the interface between the base material and the brazing filler metal in the brazed joint exhibits a uniform wavy shape with no obvious gaps. The shear strength of the brazed joint was tested using an MFM1200 shear force tester, and the results showed that the shear strength of the brazed joint can reach over 50 MPa.

[0080] In the second implementation method, during use, the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32 can be reduced by adjusting the tightening member 38, and the end face of the scraper head 36 can be adjusted to determine whether to scrape the inner or outer wall of the base material 60. Then, a 6063 aluminum alloy tube is passed through the middle of the tube fixing mechanism 40 as the base material 60. The height is adjusted so that the lower end face of the base material 60 is parallel to the bottom surface of the scraper head 36 of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32. The position of the locking teeth of the tube fixing mechanism 25 is adjusted to fix the base material 60. The tightening member 38 is adjusted again to appropriately extend the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32, so that the scraper head 36 is close to the tube wall and has a certain pressure. SnZn9 brazing filler metal and an appropriate amount of rosin are placed in the molten pool 12. The heating ring 13 is energized and put into operation, heating the brazing filler metal to 220°C and maintaining the temperature, so that the molten brazing filler metal surface covers the scraper head 36. Turn on motor 21 and scrape. After a certain period of time, an aluminum alloy tube with a layer of brazing filler metal welded to its inner or outer wall can be obtained. Remove the tube and heat the brazing filler metal layers of two 6063 aluminum alloy tubes with matching dimensions and brazing filler metal welded to their inner and outer walls respectively, to obtain a brazed aluminum alloy tube. The interface between the base material and the brazing filler metal of the welding joint is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, it has a uniform wavy shape with no obvious gaps, and the shear strength is above 50 MPa.

[0081] In the third implementation, during use, the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32 can be reduced by adjusting the tightening member 38, and the end face of the scraper head 36 can be adjusted to determine whether to scrape the inner or outer wall of the base material 60. Then, a 6061 aluminum alloy tube is passed through the middle of the tube fixing mechanism 40 as the base material 60. The height is adjusted so that the lower end face of the base material 60 is parallel to the bottom surface of the scraper head 36 of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32. The position of the locking teeth of the tube fixing mechanism 25 is adjusted to fix the base material 60. The tightening member 38 is adjusted again to appropriately extend the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32, so that the scraper head 36 is close to the tube wall and has a certain pressure. SnBiIn3Zn brazing filler metal and an appropriate amount of rosin are placed in the molten pool 12. The heating ring 13 is energized and put into operation, heating the brazing filler metal to 100°C and maintaining the temperature, so that the molten brazing filler metal surface covers the scraper head 36. Turn on motor 21 and scrape. After a certain period of time, an aluminum alloy tube with a layer of brazing filler metal welded to its inner or outer wall can be obtained. Remove the tube and heat the brazing filler metal layers of two 6061 aluminum alloy tubes with matching dimensions and brazing filler metal welded to their inner and outer walls respectively to obtain a brazed aluminum alloy tube. Observe the joint morphology using a scanning electron microscope as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the interface between the base material and the brazing filler metal in the brazed joint exhibits a uniform wavy shape with no obvious gaps. The shear strength of the brazed joint was tested using an MFM1200 shear force tester, and the results showed that the shear strength of the brazed joint can reach over 30 MPa.

[0082] In the fourth implementation, during use, the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32 can be reduced by adjusting the tightening member 38, and the end face of the scraper head 36 can be adjusted to determine whether to scrape the inner or outer wall of the base material 60. Then, a 6061 aluminum alloy tube is passed through the middle of the tube fixing mechanism 40 as the base material 60. The height is adjusted so that the lower end face of the base material 60 is parallel to the bottom surface of the scraper head 36 of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32. The position of the locking teeth of the tube fixing mechanism 25 is adjusted to fix the base material 60. The tightening member 38 is adjusted again to appropriately extend the extension lengths of the inner scraper 31 and outer scraper 32, so that the scraper head 36 is close to the tube wall and has a certain pressure. SnZn9 brazing filler metal and an appropriate amount of rosin are placed in the molten pool 12. The heating ring 13 is energized and put into operation, heating the brazing filler metal to 220°C and maintaining the temperature, so that the molten brazing filler metal surface covers the scraper head 36. Turn on motor 21 and scrape. After a certain period of time, an aluminum alloy tube with a layer of brazing filler metal welded to its inner or outer wall can be obtained. Remove the tube, apply a layer of KE-150 flux to the surface of the brazing filler metal layer on the end of the aluminum alloy tube with the brazing filler metal welded to its inner or outer wall, and heat it to bond with a T2 copper alloy tube of matching size. Observe the morphology of the brazed joint using a scanning electron microscope. Figure 6 As shown, the aluminum alloy base material and SnZn9 brazing filler metal bond well, as do the copper alloy base material and SnZn9 brazing filler metal, forming a metallurgical bonding layer at the interface. The shear strength of the copper / aluminum dissimilar metal brazed joint was tested using an MFM1200 shear force tester, and the shear strength of the brazed joint reached 25 MPa.

[0083] Based on the four examples above, it can be seen that this device can achieve high-performance brazed joints by scraping and brazing two different aluminum alloy tubes, 6061 and 6063, using SnZn9 brazing filler metal at a low temperature (220℃); it can also achieve scraping and brazing of aluminum alloy tubes using SnBiIn3Zn high-entropy alloy brazing filler metal at an even lower temperature (100℃); and it can also achieve brazing of copper and aluminum tubes.

[0084] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
