[0044] For example, see Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a serpentine flat tube integrated assembly processing method comprises the following steps:

[0045] (1) Place the serpentine-bent flat tube body 100 on the rotating plate 20 and position it. At this time, the flat tube body 100 is in an S-shaped serpentine coiled shape, and a slot is formed between each two adjacent vertical parts extending forward and backward. The slot that opens forward is the even-numbered slot 101, and the slot that opens backward is the odd-numbered slot 102. All the even-numbered slots 101 and the odd-numbered slots 102 are arranged at intervals; place the flat tube body 100 on the middle top surface of the rotating plate 20, and at the same time, the corresponding vertical guide column 24 is inserted into the corresponding even-numbered slot 101 or the odd-numbered slot 102 and close to the inner side wall of the corresponding flat tube arc portion of the flat tube body 100, that is, the vertical guide column 24 is used to limit the position;

[0046] The front through slot 231 of the guide block 23 at the front of the rotating plate 20 corresponds to the even-numbered slots 101 of the front opening of the flat tube body 100, and the rear through slot 232 of the guide block 23 at the rear of the rotating plate 20 corresponds to the odd-numbered slots 102 of the rear opening of the flat tube body 100;

[0047] (2) A feed rack 31 is fixed on the top plate of the frame 10, and a feed channel 30 is formed on the feed rack 31. The feed port of the feed channel 30 is connected to the discharge port of the processing equipment of the preceding strip heat exchange fin 200 (this processing equipment is the molding equipment of the strip heat exchange fin 200, which is a known equipment and will not be described in detail here), and the processed strip heat exchange fin 200 is transported to the feed port of the feed channel 30;

[0048] The right part of the feed channel 30 is a straight channel part extending left and right, the middle part of the feed channel 30 is an arc-shaped guide channel part, and the rear end of the left part of the feed channel 30 is formed with a discharge channel part extending front and back, and the front end of the discharge channel part is a discharge port, which is close to and communicates with the front end of one of the auxiliary guide slots 43 at the front; the auxiliary guide slot 43 corresponds to and communicates with the front end of the corresponding middle slot 41;

[0049] A plurality of air intake connection shells 80 are fixed on the top surface of the feed rack 31 at the top surface of the feed channel 30, and a plurality of air intake connection shells 80 are located above the middle of the straight channel portion, the front of the arc-shaped guide channel portion, and the front of the discharge channel portion. The air outlet pipe opening 81 on the air intake connection shell 80 is obliquely arranged, and its oblique direction faces the conveying direction required by the strip heat exchange fins 200 in the feed channel 30. An air intake connector is formed on one side wall of the air intake connection shell 80, and is connected to the air outlet end of the solenoid valve connected to the air pump through a connecting pipe. The electromagnetic valve is frequently opened and closed to realize timed intermittent blowing, and the opening time of the electromagnetic valve corresponds to the subsequent feeding into the middle slot 41 of the middle receiving tray 40. When the middle receiving tray 40 is not entered, the electromagnetic valve stops running, and the feeding channel 30 stops feeding. The operating frequency of the electromagnetic valve after opening is also based on when the strip heat exchange fins 200 enter the corresponding middle slots 41 one by one, that is, when the strip heat exchange fins 200 enter a middle slot 41, it is operated through the linear module 12. In order to carry out the operation, the middle receiving tray 40 needs to be moved to the right so that the front slot 231 facing the other middle slot 41 faces the discharge port of the feed channel 30. During the movement, the solenoid valve is closed to stop the conveying of the strip heat exchange fins 200. After the conveying is in place, the conveying is carried out again. The strip heat exchange fins 200 are blown through the air outlet 81 on the air inlet connecting shell 80 on the feed channel 30 to pass through the corresponding auxiliary guide slot 43 and enter the corresponding middle slot 41 (wherein, by adjusting the front slot 231 of the discharge channel part The air volume of the air outlet port 81 on the air inlet connection shell 80 at the upper part can control the strip heat exchange fin 200 coming out of the air outlet of the feed channel 30 to be exactly in the middle of the middle slot 41, or to the front or rear, but will not extend out of the middle slot 41). Then, the middle receiving tray 40 moves to the right by a distance, so that the outlet of the feed channel 30 faces another adjacent auxiliary guide slot 43, and the subsequent strip heat exchange fin 200 passes through the auxiliary guide slot 43 and enters the corresponding middle slot 41 at this time.

[0050] (3) When the middle receiving tray 40 continuously moves to the right to receive the material, the corresponding middle slot 41 thereof corresponds to the corresponding guide slot 51 on the fixed guide block 50 at the rear of the middle receiving tray 40;

[0051] (4) The strip heat exchange fins 200 are inserted into the corresponding middle slots 41 of the middle receiving plate 40 (the installation is completed when the strip heat exchange fins 200 are inserted into the corresponding middle slots 41 through the program control of the control host). At this time, the middle slots 41 correspond to the corresponding guide slots 51 at the rear, and the push rod of the front telescopic cylinder 69 pushes the vertical lifting plate 691 to descend along the guide slot formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the corresponding vertical pressing plate 68, so that the front push plate 61 descends, and all the push plates thereon are pushed down. The moving rod extends into the front through slot 231 corresponding to the front of the middle slot 41 of the middle receiving plate 40, and then the driving gear 95 rotates along the rack 92 by moving the servo motor 94 to move the moving frame 60 backward. At this time, the front pushing plate 61 moves backward, and the pushing rod pushes the strip heat exchange fin 200 therein to be pushed out from the middle slot 41 to the guide through slot 51, and then pushed out from the corresponding guide through slot 51 to the front through slot 231, and then pushed to the corresponding even-numbered slot 101 of the flat tube body 100;

[0052] (5) The push rod of the front telescopic cylinder 69 is retracted, the front push plate 61 is returned to its position, the movable frame 60 is returned to its position, and then the middle receiving tray 40 is returned to its position, and steps (2) and (3) are repeated, so that the strip heat exchange fins 200 are inserted into the corresponding middle slots 41 of the middle receiving tray 40;

[0053] (6) The middle feed tray 40 rotates 180°, and at the same time, the rotating plate 20 rotates 180°. At this time, the rear through slot 232 is at the front, and step (4) is repeated to insert the strip heat exchange fin 200 from the rear through slot 232 into the odd-numbered slot 102; wherein, the middle feed tray 40 rotates 180° because the strip heat exchange fin 200 also has a front-to-back direction, and the rotating plate 20 needs to rotate 180°, so the middle feed tray 40 also needs to rotate 180° to ensure that the installation direction of the strip heat exchange fin 200 is aligned;

[0054] (7) The push rod of the telescopic oil cylinder 191 is retracted, so that the upper ends of the two pull rods 171 are brought close to each other, so that the side limit blocks 70 on the left and right sides of the rotating plate 20 move relatively, and the left and right sides of the flat tube body 100 are pressed tightly for correction;

[0055] (8) Then, the movable frame 60 moves to the top of the rotating plate 20, and the front push plate 61 and the rear push plate 62 under the movable frame 60 descend, so that the push rod of the front push plate 61 and the push rod on the bottom of the rear push plate 62 are inserted into the corresponding rear through groove 232 and front through groove 231, and the push rods of the two double push rod cylinders 67 are retracted, so that the front push plate 61 and the rear push plate 62 move relative to each other, and the corresponding strip heat exchange fins 200 are pressed together and corrected by the front and rear push rods;

[0056] (9) The push rod of the lifting cylinder 63 on the movable frame 60 pushes the upper pressing block 66 downward to press all the strip heat exchange fins 200 downward, and the top surfaces of all the strip heat exchange fins 200 are flush. Then, the push rod of the lifting cylinder 63 retracts and presses downward again, generally three times.

[0057] (10) After all parts are returned to their original positions, the assembled flat tube body 100 and the strip heat exchange fin 200 are clamped between the inner side walls of the vertical parts 301 on the left and right sides of the fixture 300 to achieve clamping and fixing. The assembly can then be disassembled and completed (the distance between the inner side walls of the vertical parts 301 on the left and right sides of the fixture 300 is equal to or slightly smaller than the distance between the left and right sides of the assembled flat tube body 100 and the strip heat exchange fin 200. Since the flat tube body 100 and the strip heat exchange fin 200 have a certain amount of elastic deformation, when clamping, it is only necessary to squeeze and deform the left and right sides of the assembled flat tube body 100 and the strip heat exchange fin 200 toward the middle so that they can be clamped between the inner side walls of the vertical parts 301 on the left and right sides of the fixture 300 to complete the clamping. The loading and unloading is convenient and efficient).

[0058] All operations in this embodiment are controlled accordingly by the program in the control host, which will not be described in detail here.
