During the manufacturing process of heat exchange components, multiple heat exchange fins need to be assembled and fixed onto the heat exchange tubes. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 During the manufacturing process of heat exchange components, multiple heat exchange plates B need to be installed one by one on the heat exchange tube A, so that the multiple heat exchange plates B are neatly arranged on the heat exchange tube A and are firmly connected to the heat exchange tube A, thus forming a heat exchange component product. Because the process is relatively complicated, multiple machines are usually required for installation, or some processes are completed manually, which leads to low production efficiency and inconsistent product quality.

[0031] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0032] The orientations described in the invention specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the invention and are not a limitation on its implementation.
[0033] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the heat exchange component consists of two heat exchange tubes A and multiple heat exchange plates B. Of course, the heat exchange component can also consist of one or more heat exchange tubes A, as long as a corresponding number of mounting sleeves B2 are provided on the heat exchange plates B. A heat exchange component manufacturing equipment includes a base 10. The base 10 is equipped with a first discharge device 1 for outputting heat exchange tubes A, a first clamping device 2 for clamping the rear end of heat exchange tubes A, a second clamping device 3 for clamping the front end of heat exchange tubes A, and a first transport device 4 for conveying heat exchange tubes A to the first clamping device 2 and the second clamping device 3. The base 10 is also equipped with a second discharge device 5 for outputting heat exchange plates B, a feeding device 6 for conveying heat exchange plates B to the front side of heat exchange tubes A and aligning the mounting sleeves B2 with the heat exchange tubes A, and a device for detecting whether the heat exchange plates B have mounting sleeves B2. 2. The machine base 10 is equipped with a detection and shaping device 12 for pressing and shaping the heat exchanger body A1 of the heat exchanger B, a second transport device 7 for transporting the heat exchanger B from the second discharge device 5 to the detection and shaping device 12 and from the detection and shaping device 12 to the feeding device 6, a first pushing device 8 for clamping the mounting sleeve B2 of the heat exchanger B and inserting the heat exchanger B into the front end of the heat exchange tube A one by one, a second clamping device 3 for releasing the heat exchanger B after the first pushing device 8 inserts the heat exchanger B into the front end of the heat exchange tube A, and a first pushing device 8 for pushing the heat exchanger B to the middle of the heat exchange tube A after the second clamping device 3 releases the heat exchanger B to the middle of the heat exchange tube A. The machine base 10 is also equipped with a second pushing device 9 for pushing the heat exchanger B located in the middle of the heat exchange tube A to the rear half of the heat exchange tube A. The machine base 10 is also equipped with a pressing device 11 for pressing the mounting sleeve B2 of each heat exchanger B onto the heat exchange tube A to form the product.When the heat exchanger assembly manufacturing equipment is working, firstly: the first conveying device 4 transports the heat exchanger tube A from the first discharge device 1 to the first clamping device 2 and the second clamping device 3, which clamp both ends of the heat exchanger tube A; then: the second conveying device 7 outputs a heat exchanger plate B from the second discharge device 5 and transports it to the inspection and shaping device 12. The inspection and shaping device 12 checks whether the heat exchanger plate B has an installation sleeve B2, and then shapes the heat exchanger plate body A1 of the heat exchanger plate B with no defects in the installation sleeve B2. Then the second conveying device 7... The heat exchanger plate B, shaped by the inspection and shaping device 12, continues to be conveyed to the feeding device 6. The feeding device 6 adjusts the direction of the heat exchanger plate B so that its mounting sleeve B2 is aligned with the heat exchange tube A. If there are multiple heat exchange tubes A, the mounting sleeve B2 is aligned with each heat exchange tube A. Then, the first pushing device 8 puts the heat exchanger plate B into the front end of the heat exchange tube A. Then, the second clamping device 3 is released. After the second clamping device 3 is released, the first pushing device 8 pushes the heat exchanger plate B to the middle of the heat exchange tube A. Then, the second pushing device 9 pushes the heat exchanger plate B to the middle of the heat exchange tube A. The heat exchange fins B in the middle of tube A are pushed to the rear half of heat exchange tube A, and so on, until all the preset number of heat exchange fins B are installed into heat exchange tube A. The final position of each heat exchange fin B can be determined by setting the stroke of the first pushing device 8 and the second pushing device 9. Finally, the pressing device 7 presses the mounting sleeve B1 of the heat exchange fin B onto the heat exchange tube A, completing the connection and fixation of the heat exchange fins B. When all the heat exchange fins B have been installed in the rear half of heat exchange tube A, the first pushing device 8 stops working. The first pushing device 8 pushes the remaining heat exchanger plates B. Alternatively, the first pushing device 8 and the second pushing device 9 can work together to complete the process. Finally, the pressing device 7 presses the mounting sleeve B1 of the heat exchanger plate B onto the heat exchange tube A, thus completing the connection and fixation of the heat exchanger plate B. Each time the second pushing device 9 delivers a heat exchanger plate B, the pressing device 7 can be used to connect and fix the heat exchanger plate B one by one. Alternatively, the pressing device 7 can be used to connect and fix the heat exchanger plates B one by one after all the heat exchanger plates B are mounted on the heat exchange tube A.
[0034] Of course, as an optional implementation, the base 10 may not need to be equipped with the feeding device 6 and the inspection and shaping device 12. In this implementation, the second transport device 7 adopts a general three-axis robot to transport the heat exchange plate B from the second discharge device 5 to the front of the second clamping device 3, that is, to the front of the heat exchange tube A, and adjust the orientation of the heat exchange plate B so that the mounting sleeve B2 is aligned with the heat exchange tube A by the three-axis robot.
[0035] In this embodiment, as a preferred structure of the second transport device 7, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second transport device 7 includes a suction cup manipulator 71 capable of moving back and forth, and the suction cup manipulator 71 is provided with at least one suction cup 72 for adsorbing the heat exchange plate B.
[0036] To facilitate the removal of the supported heat exchange components, such as Figure 5 As shown, the heat exchange component manufacturing equipment also includes a feeding device 13 for removing the processed product.
[0037] To be more detailed, such as Figure 5 As shown, the unloading device 13 includes a first cantilever 131 located above the first clamping device 2 and the second clamping device 3. The first cantilever 131 is connected to the base 10 by a bracket or other structure. The first cantilever 131 is slidably connected to a first sliding seat 132 and a first driving member 133 for pushing the first sliding seat 132 to slide left and right. The first sliding seat 132 is provided with a second driving member 134. The second driving member 134 has a first output shaft 135 that can move up and down. The first output shaft 135 is connected to a clamping manipulator 136 for clamping the product. The clamping manipulator 136 can be a general cylinder gripper. The clamping manipulator 135 is used to clamp the two side walls of the heat exchange component product. The clamping manipulator 136 is moved by the first driving member 133 and the second driving member 134 to transport the product to the downstream equipment or to be manually removed.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the first discharge device 1, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first discharge device 1 includes several storage box groups 100 arranged vertically. Each storage box group 100 includes two storage box components 101 symmetrically arranged front to back. The storage box components 101 are connected to the base 10 via a support or other structure. Each storage box component has a strip-shaped inclined groove 102 with one end higher than the other, allowing heat exchange tubes A to be placed in rows in the strip-shaped inclined groove 102 of the storage box component 101. That is, the front and rear ends of the heat exchange tubes A are respectively inserted into the strip-shaped inclined groove 102 of the two symmetrical storage box components 101. Each storage box component 101 has a downward-facing discharge port 103 at the lower end of the strip-shaped inclined groove 102. The first discharge device 1 also includes components corresponding to the storage box groups 100. A baffle slider 104 is slidably connected to the base 10 in the left-right direction, and the upper surface of the baffle slider 104 covers the outlet 103. The baffle slider 104 is provided with a feeding groove 105 that matches the shape of the heat exchange tube A. The base 10 is provided with a third driving member 106 for pushing the baffle slider 104 to slide so that the feeding groove 105 is aligned with the outlet 103. During the left-right sliding of the baffle slider 104, when the feeding groove 105 is aligned with the outlet 103, the heat exchange tube A at the bottom rolls into the feeding groove 105. Then, by controlling the baffle slider 104, the heat exchange tube A that has rolled into the feeding groove 105 is sent out in the left-right direction for the first transport device 4 to pick up.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the feeding device 6, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the feeding device 6 includes a rotating seat 61 rotatably connected to the base 10. Several positioning post groups 600 are distributed circumferentially along the rotation axis on the rotating seat 61. Each positioning post group 600 includes at least one positioning post 601 for insertion into the mounting sleeve B2 of the heat exchanger plate B. Preferably, a shoulder can be provided on the positioning post 601 to position the heat exchanger plate B. The heat exchanger plate B can be installed on the positioning post 601 manually or by a robotic arm. In this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly includes two heat exchange tubes A, and each heat exchanger plate B is provided with two corresponding mounting sleeves B1. Therefore, each group has two positioning posts 601 and two... The mounting sleeve B1 should correspond to the heat exchange tube A. If there is only one heat exchange tube A, then there is only one mounting sleeve B1 on the heat exchange plate B. In this case, the position of the heat exchange plate B can be adjusted manually or by a robotic arm. After the rotating seat 61 rotates relative to the base 1 by a preset angle, the positioning post 601 can be axially aligned with the heat exchange tube A. The base 1 is also provided with a fourth driving member 62 for driving the rotating seat 61 to rotate by a preset angle. In this way, the heat exchange plate B can be placed on the positioning post 601, and then the rotating seat 61 can be driven to rotate by the fourth driving member 62. By presetting the stroke of the fourth driving member 62, the rotating seat 61 can be rotated by a certain angle, and the positioning post 601 can be axially aligned with the heat exchange tube A. In this embodiment, the fourth driving member 62 can be a motor or a cylinder. The output shaft of the fourth driving member 62 is directly connected to the rotating seat 61, or the output shaft of the fourth driving member 62 is connected to the rotating seat 61 through a transmission structure such as a gear set or a pulley set.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the detection and shaping device 12, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the detection and shaping device 12 includes a base 121, on which a detection seat 122 for placing a workpiece is rotatably connected. The detection seat 122 has at least one workstation area 120 and an adsorption structure 123 capable of adsorbing and fixing the workpiece. The heat exchange plate B includes a heat exchange plate body B1 and a protruding mounting sleeve B2 disposed on the heat exchange plate body B1. The base 121 or the detection seat 122 is provided with a detection sensor 124 for detecting whether the mounting sleeve B2 is present. In this embodiment, the detection sensor 124 is a fiber optic sensor; however, a traditional infrared sensor can also be used. As a traditional setup, simply align the sensor's sensing head with the position of the mounting sleeve B2. Figure 8As shown, in order to detect the installation sleeve B2 from multiple angles simultaneously, multiple detection sensors 124 can be set at different positions on the base 121. The base 121 is also equipped with a fifth driving member 125 for driving the detection seat 122 to rotate relative to the base 121, thereby causing the work area 120 to face upwards or downwards. A detection sliding seat 126 is slidably connected to the base 121. The detection sliding seat 126 is equipped with a horizontally arranged waste part frame 127 and a shaping mechanism 128. The base 121 is also equipped with a sixth driving member 129 for pushing the detection sliding seat 126 to slide laterally, thereby aligning one of the waste part frame 127 and the shaping mechanism 128 vertically with the detection seat 122. During operation, the heat exchanger B is placed on the detection seat 122, and the heat exchanger B is adsorbed onto the detection seat 122 by the adsorption structure 123. Then, the detection sensor 124 detects whether the mounting sleeve B2 on the workpiece is present or missing. Two situations occur: if the mounting sleeve B2 of the heat exchanger B is not missing, the sixth driving member 129 pushes the detection sliding seat 126 to slide laterally, causing the shaping mechanism 128 to align with the detection seat 122. The heat exchanger plate B is aligned vertically. Then, the fifth driving component 125 drives the detection seat 122 to rotate so that the heat exchanger plate B faces downward, i.e., the heat exchanger plate B faces the shaping mechanism 128. At this time, the shaping mechanism 128 can perform a shaping process on the heat exchanger plate B. After completion, the fifth driving component 125 drives the detection seat 122 to rotate so that the heat exchanger plate B faces upward. Then, the heat exchanger plate B can be sent to the next process manually or by a robotic arm. When it is detected that the entire mounting sleeve B2 of the heat exchanger plate B is missing or the detected part is missing, the sixth driving component 129 pushes the detection sliding seat 126 to slide horizontally and align the waste part frame 127 vertically with the detection seat 122. Then, the fifth driving component 125 drives the detection seat 122 to rotate so that the heat exchanger plate B faces downward, i.e., the heat exchanger plate B faces the waste part frame 127. The adsorption structure 123 stops adsorption, causing the heat exchanger plate B to fall into the waste part frame 127 for recycling. Then, the fifth driving component 125 drives the detection seat 122 to rotate so that the heat exchanger plate B faces upward. The above structure enables automated inspection and screening of heat exchanger fins B. Combined with the shaping process, it greatly simplifies the inspection and screening process of heat exchanger fins, saves manpower and resources, and improves production efficiency.
[0041] Regarding how sensor 124 detects heat exchanger B, such as... Figure 9As shown, the detection seat 122 has two work areas 120 located on the upper and lower sides of the detection seat 122, respectively. When the fifth driving member 125 drives the detection seat 122 to rotate relative to the base 121, the two work areas 120 on the detection seat 122 can face upward or downward. The detection seat 122 has a sleeve hole 1201 in the work area 120 for the installation sleeve B2 of the heat exchanger B to be inserted. The side wall of the detection seat 122 has a detection straight hole 1202 communicating with the sleeve hole 1201. The detection sensor 124 is set on the base 121. When the work area 120 on the detection seat 122 faces upward, the detection sensor 124 is aligned with the detection straight hole 1202, so that the detection light of the detection sensor 124 can pass through the detection straight hole 1202 to reach the sleeve hole 1201, thereby detecting the installation sleeve B2. The solution provided in this embodiment is to set up two workstation areas 120. Of course, the workstation areas 120 and 120 can also be set asymmetrically, as long as the detection seat 122 can be placed in the upward and downward states during the rotation process.
[0042] As one embodiment of the adsorption structure 123, such as Figure 10 As shown, the adsorption structure 123 includes an adsorption hole 1231 disposed on the work station area 120, an adsorption channel 1232 disposed in the detection seat 122 and communicating with the adsorption hole 1231, and an air suction pipe 1233 connected to the detection seat 122 and communicating with the adsorption channel 1232. The air suction pipe 1233 can be connected to an external air pump or air suction pipeline. By controlling the start and stop of the air pump or air suction pipeline, the adsorption structure 123 can control whether the heat exchanger plate B is adsorbed.
[0043] As a preferred option, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shaping mechanism 128 includes a shaping drive device 1281 disposed on the detection sliding seat 126. The shaping drive device 1281 is connected to a shaping plate 1282 and the shaping drive device 1281 can push the shaping plate 1282 closer to or away from the heat exchange plate B. The heat exchange plate B is shaped by pressing the shaping plate 1282 against it.
[0044] In one embodiment of the second pushing device 9, the second pushing device 9 includes a second sliding seat 91 slidably connected to the base 10 in a rear-forward direction, and a seventh driving member 92 disposed on the base 10 for pushing the second sliding seat 91 to slide rear-forward. The second sliding seat 91 is provided with an eighth driving member 93, which is connected to two pushing clamps 94. The eighth driving member 93 can drive the two pushing clamps 94 to move closer together to clamp the heat exchange tube A, and drive the two pushing clamps 94 to move away from each other to move away from the heat exchange tube A. The eighth driving member 93 can be a general cylinder clamp, and the seventh driving member 92 can be a general motor. The output shaft of the seventh driving member 92 is connected to the second sliding seat 91 through a ball screw structure, so that the rotation of the output shaft of the seventh driving member 92 drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby driving the second sliding seat 91 to slide back and forth. Preferably, a slide rail can be provided between the second sliding seat 91 and the base 10. Similarly, the first pushing device 8 can be configured with the same structure as the second pushing device 9.
[0045] As a preferred option, such as Figure 12 As shown, the pushing clamp 94 includes a clamp base 941, on which a roller 942 is rotatably connected. When the two pushing clamps 94 approach each other, the roller 942 abuts against the heat exchange tube A, and the tangential direction of the roller 942 is consistent with the length direction of the heat exchange tube A. This ensures that when the two pushing clamps 94 are against the heat exchange tube A, it does not affect the forward and backward movement of the second pushing device 6. At the same time, when the second clamping device 3 is released, the pushing clamps 94 can clamp the heat exchange tube A, thus supporting the middle part of the heat exchange tube A. Preferably, the cylindrical surface of the roller 942 is provided with an annular groove 943 extending circumferentially.
[0046] In this embodiment, the first transport device 4 adopts a robotic arm structure that is consistent with the principle of the unloading device 13, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first transport device 4 includes a second cantilever 41 located above the first discharge device 1. The second cantilever 41 is connected to the base 10 by a bracket or other structure. The second cantilever 41 is slidably connected to a second sliding seat 42 and a tenth driving member 43 for pushing the second sliding seat 42 to slide left and right. The second sliding seat 42 is provided with an eleventh driving member 44. The eleventh driving member 44 has a second output shaft 45 that can move up and down. The second output shaft 45 is connected to a second clamping manipulator 46 for clamping the product. The second clamping manipulator 46 can be a general cylinder gripper. The clamping manipulator 46 is used to clamp the two side walls of the heat exchange component product. The heat exchange tube A is transported to the first clamping device 2 and the second clamping device 3 by pushing the second clamping manipulator 46 through the tenth driving member 43 and the eleventh driving member 44.
[0047] In this embodiment, as a preferred structure of the pressing device 11, such as Figure 13 As shown, the pressing device 11 includes two pressing components 110 located on both sides of the heat exchange tube A. Each pressing component 110 includes a third sliding seat 111 slidably connected to the base 10 in the front-back direction. The base 10 is also provided with a twelfth driving member 112 for pushing the third sliding seat 111 to slide back and forth. The third sliding seat 111 is slidably connected to a sliding block 113 that can slide toward the heat exchange tube A and a thirteenth driving member 114 for pushing the sliding block 113 to slide. The end of the sliding block 113 is provided with a pressing part 115 for pressing the mounting sleeve B1 onto the heat exchange tube A. In this embodiment, the twelfth driving member 112 and the thirteenth driving member 114 can be motors. An eccentrically set eccentric member 116 is connected to the output shaft of the thirteenth driving member 114. The eccentric member 116 is connected to a push plate 117. One end of the push plate 117 is rotatably connected to the eccentric member 116 and the other end is rotatably connected to the sliding block 113.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first clamping device 2 can be a general cylinder gripper, which can be controlled to clamp or release by the air intake pipe of the cylinder.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second discharge device 5 uses a vibratory feeder. The vibratory feeder is a conventional vibratory feeder.
