[0002] The core of the fin-and-tube radiator for automobiles is composed of many thin cooling tubes and fins. Most cooling tubes have an oblate cross-section to reduce air resistance and increase heat transfer area. The radiator core has sufficient flow area for the coolant to pass through, and also has sufficient air flow area to allow enough air to pass through to take away the heat transferred to the radiator by the coolant.

Implementation

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 A radiator production and assembly equipment includes a conveying device 1, a stand 2, an arranging device 3, a fixing device 4, an installation device 5 and a limiting device 6. The stand 2 is installed on the left and right sides of the conveying device 1, the arranging device 3 is installed above the front end of the conveying device 1, the fixing device 4 is installed between the arranging device 3 and the stand 2, the installation device 5 is installed between the rear end of the conveying device 1 and the stand 2, and the limiting device 6 is installed at the rear end of the conveying device 1.

[0027] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The arrangement device 3 includes a trapezoidal block 31, a connecting plate 32, a horizontal cylinder 33, a cylinder 1 34, a fixed rod 35, a movable rod 36 and a cylinder 2 37. The cylinder 2 37 is located below the conveying device 1 and the fixed end is installed on the ground. The output end of the cylinder 2 37 is connected to the fixed end of the horizontal cylinder 33. The horizontal cylinder 33 is a bidirectional cylinder. The output ends of the left and right ends of the horizontal cylinder 33 are installed with movable rods 36. The trapezoidal block 31 is equidistantly slidably installed on the movable rod 36 from front to back. The movable rod 36 plays a role of limiting the trapezoidal block 31. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 31 is at the upper end of the trapezoidal block 31 and faces the side where the left and right movable rods 36 are close to each other. Therefore, the cooling pipe can be placed along the inclined surfaces of the left and right trapezoidal blocks 31. After the cooling pipe is placed , and then place the heat sink between the cooling tubes. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 31 can reduce the time for manual alignment and placement. A connecting plate 32 is rotatably installed between the two adjacent trapezoidal blocks 31 in front and behind. The two ends of the connecting plate 32 are respectively hinged to the side walls of the two trapezoidal blocks 31. A fixing rod 35 is fixedly installed on the trapezoidal block 31 at the front, and the remaining trapezoidal blocks 31 are slidably connected with the fixing rod 35. The fixing rod 35 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 1 34. The fixing rod 35 is located above the movable rod 36. The fixed end of the cylinder 1 34 and the movable rod 36 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod. After placing multiple heat sinks and cooling tubes, start the cylinder 1 34. Under the action of the connecting plate 32, the multiple trapezoidal blocks 31 distributed front and back will achieve synchronous and equidistant contraction, thereby clamping the cooling tubes and heat sinks.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The fixing device 4 includes a cylinder three 41, a cylinder four 42, a clamping plate 43, a thrust block 44 and a limit block 45. The cylinder three 41 is fixed on the front end of the stand 2. The output end of the cylinder three 41 is connected to the cylinder four 42. The cylinder four 42 is a bidirectional cylinder. The upper and lower output ends of the cylinder four 42 are connected to the clamping plates 43. The limit blocks 45 are installed at the front and rear ends of the opposite sides of the left and right clamping plates 43. The upper and lower limit blocks 45 are arranged on the side close to each other. The thrust blocks 44 are installed equidistantly on the opposite sides of the upper and lower clamping plates 43. The sealing plate of the radiator is pushed backward along the two limit grooves distributed on the upper and lower sides of the front side until the rear end of the sealing plate is tightly pressed against the baffle 1 22. Then the cylinder three 41 is started. The cylinder three 41 can transmit uniform thrust to the sealing plate through the thrust block 44 to prevent the sealing strip on the sealing plate from being deformed due to uneven force during installation, thereby affecting the installation sealing effect.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 The mounting device 5 includes a cylinder 51, a cylinder 6 52 and an L-shaped plate 53. The cylinder 51 is fixed at the rear end of the stand 2. The output end of the cylinder 51 is connected to the cylinder 6 52. The cylinder 6 52 is a bidirectional cylinder. The upper and lower output ends of the cylinder 6 52 are both connected to the L-shaped plate 53.

[0030] The water inlet plate and the water outlet plate are placed between the left and right groups of L-shaped plates 53 respectively (a water inlet is provided on the water inlet plate, and a water outlet is provided on the water outlet plate), and the front ends of the water inlet plate and the water outlet plate are pressed against the baffle plate 23 to ensure that the water inlet plate and the water outlet plate can be accurately installed. Then, the cylinder 6 52 is started so that the upper and lower L-shaped plates 53 can clamp the middle parts of the water inlet plate and the water outlet plate. Finally, the water inlet plate and the water outlet plate are installed on the assembly by starting the cylinder 5 51.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stand 2 includes a fixing plate 21, a baffle plate 1 22, a baffle plate 23 and a triangular block 24. There are two fixing plates 21. The two fixing plates 21 are located on the left and right sides of the arrangement device 3 and are fixedly installed on the ground. A fixing device 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the fixing plate 21. A baffle plate 1 22 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 21, and the baffle plate 1 22 is located behind the fixing device 4. A mounting device 5 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the fixing plate 21. The baffle plate 1 22 can limit the sealing plate laterally. A baffle plate 23 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 21, and the baffle plate 23 is located in front of the mounting device 5. The baffle plate 23 can limit the water inlet and outlet jackets laterally. The opposite sides of the left and right baffle plates 23 are connected by a spring rod. A triangular block 24 is connected, and the inclined piece of the triangular block 24 faces the front side. When the assembly is conveyed backward by the conveyor belt 11, the rear end of the assembly squeezes the inclined surface of the front side of the triangular block 24, so that the spring rod is compressed and the distance between the left and right triangular blocks 24 increases to avoid hindering the movement of the assembly. When the conveyor belt 11 transports the assembly to the front of the limit plate 61, the assembly no longer contacts and squeezes the triangular block 24, and the triangular block 24 is restored to its original position by the elastic force of the spring rod. The rear plane of the reset triangular block 24 is tightly attached to the front side of the assembly, which can play a role of fixing and limiting the assembly, ensuring the accuracy of the assembly position, and there is no need to repeatedly adjust the assembly parts, effectively improving the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The conveying device 1 includes a conveyor belt 11, a transmission rod 12, a motor 13 and a support frame 14. The support frames 14 are symmetrically arranged in two groups. The support frames 14 are located between the fixing device 4 and the arrangement device 3 and fixed on the ground. The transmission rod 12 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 14 in the same group. A motor 13 is fixedly installed on one of the support frames 14. The output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission rod 12 through a coupling. The front and rear transmission rods 12 are connected through the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 is located between the two fixing devices 4. The transmission rod 12 is driven to rotate by the motor 13, and then the conveyor belt 11 is driven to rotate, so as to transport the radiator components placed thereon from front to back.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The limiting device 6 includes a limiting plate 61 and a bracket 62. The bracket 62 is located directly behind the conveying device 1 and is installed on the ground. The limiting plate 61 is fixedly installed on the bracket 62. The limiting plate 61 is located above the rear end of the conveying device 1 and is a T-shaped structure.

[0034] The assembly is transported backwards by the conveying device 1. When the rear side of the assembly is pressed against the vertical section of the limiting plate 61, it indicates that the assembly has been moved into place and does not need to be moved further. The horizontal section of the limiting plate 61 can limit the assembly in the up and down directions to prevent the assembly from shaking up and down during the assembly process, which would affect the assembly efficiency.

[0035] In addition, the present invention also provides a radiator production and assembly method, including the following steps: S1: arrange neatly, first place the cooling pipe in the gap between the front and rear trapezoidal blocks 31, and then place the heat sink between the left and right trapezoidal blocks 31, start the horizontal cylinder 33 to make the trapezoidal blocks 31 clamp the heat sink on the left and right, start the cylinder 34, and the trapezoidal blocks 31 will shrink equidistantly from front to back to make the cooling pipe and the heat sink close to each other.

[0036] S2: Fixed installation, insert the sealing plate between the clamping plate 43 and the limit block 45, start the cylinder four 42 to make the clamping plate 43 clamp the sealing plate, start the cylinder three 41 to preliminarily install the sealing plate on the cooling pipe, stop the cylinder three 41, start the cylinder two 37 to make the arranging device 3 descend to the bottom of the conveyor belt 11, and start the cylinder three 41 again to completely install the sealing plate on the cooling pipe and the heat dissipation belt.

[0037] S3: Transportation and installation, start cylinder 4 42 to move the clamping plate 43 away from the sealing plate, then start cylinder 3 41 to restore the fixing device 4 to its original position, start the motor 13, transport the assembly to the limit plate 61 through the conveyor belt 11, the triangular block 24 limits the front end of the assembly, place the water inlet and outlet plates between the upper and lower L-shaped plates 53, start cylinder 6 52 to clamp the L-shaped plate 53 to the water inlet cover plate and the water outlet plate, start cylinder 5 51 to install the water inlet and outlet plates on the assembly, start cylinder 6 52 to increase the distance between the two L-shaped plates 53, and then start cylinder 5 51 to restore the installation device 5 to its original position. After the assembly is completed, the radiator can be removed from the conveying device 1.
