Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for assembling fins and flat tubes for a radiator. Background Technology

[0002] Fins and flat tubes are the core components of a radiator for heat dissipation. Currently, most radiators on the market use fins mounted on the outside of the flat tubes. However, to further improve heat dissipation, some radiators also incorporate fins within the flat tubes. These radiators have numerous flat tubes, each containing long, thin strips of fins. During installation, the fins are inserted manually or using equipment, and then the ends of the tubes are compressed and tightened. Due to the length of the fins, inserting them into the flat tubes is quite challenging, especially with a large number of fins. Traditional manual assembly methods are not only inefficient and costly, but also suffer from inconsistent assembly quality. Existing assembly equipment often has scattered functional modules with poor coordination, requiring manual material transfer during assembly, which also leads to inefficiency and fails to meet assembly requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a fin and flat tube assembly device for a radiator, comprising a fin feeding mechanism, a fin sorting mechanism, a fin feeding mechanism, a flat tube conveying mechanism, an assembly mechanism, and an output mechanism.

[0004] The fin sorting mechanism is located near the output end of the fin feeding mechanism and sorts the fins fed by the fin feeding mechanism into parallel and equally spaced fins before being fed out. This ensures that subsequent assembly can proceed in an orderly manner and avoids overlapping or excessive fins in a single output.

[0005] The fin feeding mechanism is located near the output end of the fin sorting mechanism and pushes the fins fed out by the fin sorting mechanism into the assembly mechanism.

[0006] The assembly mechanism is located close to the output ends of the fin feeding mechanism and the flat tube conveying mechanism, and receives the fins fed out by the fin feeding mechanism and the flat tubes fed out by the flat tube conveying mechanism, and assembles the fins and flat tubes.

[0007] The output mechanism is located near the output end of the assembly mechanism and conveys the assembled product from the assembly mechanism to complete one finned flat tube assembly process.

[0008] The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention has relatively complete functional modules, capable of sequentially outputting and assembling fins and flat tubes one by one. It can be directly applied to the output end of fin and flat tube production equipment, realizing fully automated fin and flat tube assembly. The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention eliminates the need for manual transfer of fins and flat tubes during assembly, significantly improving the assembly efficiency and quality of fins and flat tubes.

[0009] Preferably, the fin feeding mechanism includes a fin moving track, a fin feeding drive, and a fin pusher plate. The fin moving track consists of several parallel, spaced guide rods, with the guide rods perpendicular to the fin feeding direction, allowing the fins to slide on its top. The fin feeding drive is installed at the bottom of the fin moving track and drives the fin pusher plate to pass through the fin moving track and move forward and backward along the guide rods to push out the fins located on the fin moving track one by one. Optionally, the fin feeding drive can be a structure where a motor drives a sprocket and a chain, and the fin pusher plate is mounted on the chain and moves with the chain.

[0010] Preferably, the fin sorting mechanism includes an equidistant conveyor belt and a sorting turntable. The equidistant conveyor belt and the fin feeding mechanism convey the fins in the same direction and are driven by a motor to rotate cyclically. The equidistant conveyor belt has evenly spaced limiting grooves distributed on its surface, and the direction of the limiting grooves is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the equidistant conveyor belt. The sorting turntable is rotatably mounted between the output end of the fin feeding mechanism and the input end of the equidistant conveyor belt. Its rotating shaft is horizontal and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the equidistant conveyor belt, and it is driven to rotate by a motor. The circumference of the sorting turntable has radial transfer grooves. These transfer grooves receive the fins conveyed by the fin feeding mechanism and, through the rotation of the sorting turntable, place them on the limiting grooves. Each limiting groove can hold one fin, thus sorting the fins into the required placement configuration, preparing them for subsequent ejection and insertion of flat tubes.

[0011] Preferably, the sorting turntable includes at least two parallel turntables spaced apart. The feed end and discharge end of the sorting turntable are connected to the fin feeding mechanism and the equidistant conveyor belt in a staggered manner due to the gap, which has good connection and can prevent the fins from falling off during transfer. In addition, it can also better feed the fins into the transfer trough through the feeding mechanism, and the equidistant conveyor belt can also more smoothly carry the fins out of the transfer trough.

[0012] Preferably, the fin feeding mechanism serves as a connecting mechanism between the fin sorting mechanism and the assembly mechanism, and includes a fin feeding track, a fin feeding drive, and a fin pushing member. The fin feeding track is installed at the output end of the fin sorting mechanism, and is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the fin sorting mechanism. The fin feeding drive is installed around the fin feeding track and drives the fin pushing member to reciprocate between the output end of the fin sorting mechanism and the fin feeding track, pushing the fins output by the fin sorting mechanism one by one onto the fin feeding track, preparing for subsequent assembly operations.

[0013] Preferably, baffles are provided on both sides of the fin delivery track to prevent the fins from falling off during assembly. The fin pushing component includes a first lifting cylinder and a first pushing plate. The first lifting cylinder is mounted on top of the fin delivery track via a fin delivery drive component, with its piston rod pointing downwards. The first pushing plate is horizontally positioned, with one end mounted on the bottom of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder via a base plate, and the other end pointing towards the fin delivery track. Driven by the lifting cylinder, it approaches the output end of the sorting mechanism, pushing the fins at the output end of the sorting mechanism from their ends onto the fin delivery track.

[0014] Preferably, the assembly mechanism, serving as the assembly site for fins and flat tubes, includes an assembly platform, a fin insertion drive, and a fin push-in component. One side of the assembly platform is the fin entry end, connected to the output end of the fin delivery mechanism; the other side is the flat tube entry end, connected to the output end of the flat tube conveying mechanism, and receives the flat tubes output by the flat tube conveying mechanism. The flat tubes output by the flat tube conveying mechanism and the fins output by the fin delivery mechanism are collinear, thus enabling the fins to be smoothly inserted into the flat tubes. The fin insertion drive is installed near the fin entry end of the assembly platform and drives the fin push-in component to push the fins from the output end of the fin delivery mechanism into the flat tubes on the assembly platform, completing the assembly operation.

[0015] The fin inserting component includes a second lifting cylinder and a second pushing plate; the second lifting cylinder is installed on the top of the fin delivery track and close to the assembly platform via a fin inserting drive component, the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder faces downward, and the second pushing plate is connected to the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder via a connecting seat.

[0016] Preferably, the assembly mechanism further includes a pressing component, which is installed on the top of the assembly platform and arranged along the length of the flat tube on the assembly platform. The pressing component includes a lifting seat and a pressing seat. The lifting seat drives the pressing seat to move up and down to press or release the flat tube on the assembly platform. By setting the pressing component, the flat tube can be pressed down when the fin is inserted into the flat tube to prevent the flat tube from moving. After the fin is inserted, the flat tube can be further pressed to reduce the diameter of the flat tube and allow the fin to be tightly installed inside the flat tube.

[0017] Preferably, the flat tube conveying mechanism includes a flat tube conveyor belt, a movable storage seat, a discharge drive, and a baffle plate. There are two flat tube conveyor belts, with their output ends respectively located on both sides of the assembly platform, and they are driven to rotate cyclically by a drive. The movable storage seat is movably mounted on top of the feed end of the flat tube conveyor belt and is driven to reciprocate along the direction of the flat tube conveyor belt by the discharge drive. There are two movable storage seats, arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the flat tube conveyor belt, with several vertically penetrating storage troughs on opposite sides. The baffle plate is installed between the flat tube conveyor belt and the movable storage seat, blocking the bottom opening of the storage troughs. The discharge drive drives the movable storage seat to move gradually, and each storage trough gradually shifts away from the baffle plate, thereby gradually placing the flat tubes in each storage trough onto the flat tube conveyor belt, achieving orderly feeding.

[0018] Preferably, the output mechanism includes a straightening component, a receiving hopper, an output drive component, and an output pusher component. The feeding end of the straightening component is connected to the discharge end of the assembly mechanism, while the receiving hopper is connected to the discharge end of the straightening component. The straightening component includes an output track and at least two sets of clamping rollers. The output track receives the flat tube output from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism. The clamping rollers are installed at intervals along the output track, dividing it into several segments. The flat tube output from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism is straightened by the clamping rollers and pushed out of the output track to enter the receiving hopper. The output drive component is installed near the discharge end of the assembly mechanism and connects to drive the output pusher component to push the flat tube from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism into the output track and the clamping rollers.

[0019] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention has relatively complete functional modules, capable of sequentially outputting and assembling fins and flat tubes one by one. It can be directly applied to the output end of fin and flat tube production equipment, realizing full automation of fin and flat tube assembly. The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention eliminates the need for manual transfer of fins and flat tubes during assembly, significantly improving the assembly efficiency and quality of fins and flat tubes.

[0021] 2. The fin sorting mechanism uses a sorting turntable with radial transfer grooves, which can sort and transport out fins one by one, providing a favorable foundation for subsequent continuous and stable assembly;

[0022] 3. The equidistant conveyor belt provided by the fin sorting mechanism can receive the fins after they have been sorted by the sorting turntable and convey them out one by one at equal intervals, thus avoiding the problem of fin overlap during subsequent assembly.

[0023] 4. The feed end and discharge end of the sorting turntable are staggered on both sides, which has good connection and can prevent the fins from falling off during transfer. In addition, it can also better feed the fins into the transfer trough through the feeding mechanism, and the equidistant conveyor belt can also more smoothly carry the fins out of the transfer trough.

[0024] 5. The fin feeding mechanism can adjust the feeding direction of the fins to meet the direction required for subsequent assembly operations;

[0025] 6. The assembly mechanism is connected to the fin feeding mechanism on one side and the flat tube conveying mechanism on the other side, which combines the conveying trajectories of the two parts, so that there is no need to manually move the assembly parts from one device to another, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0026] 7. The output mechanism also includes a straightening component, which can straighten the assembled flat tube to maintain a good straight shape. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the technical problems, solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 9 A fin and flat tube assembly device for a radiator includes a fin feeding mechanism 1, a fin sorting mechanism 2, a fin feeding mechanism 3, a flat tube conveying mechanism 4, an assembly mechanism 5, and an output mechanism 6.

[0041] In one embodiment, the fin feeding mechanism 1 includes a fin moving track 11, a fin feeding drive 12, and a fin pushing plate 13. The fin moving track 11 is composed of several parallel and spaced guide rods, and the direction of the guide rods is perpendicular to the fin feeding direction, allowing the fins to slide on its top. The fin feeding drive 12 is installed at the bottom of the fin moving track 11 and drives the fin pushing plate 13 to pass through the fin moving track 11 and move forward and backward along the guide rods to push out the fins located on the fin moving track 11 one by one. Optionally, the fin feeding drive 12 can adopt a structure in which a motor drives a sprocket and a chain, and the fin pushing plate 13 is installed on the chain and moves together with the chain.

[0042] In another embodiment, the mounting base at the feed end of the guide rod is provided with several rotating shafts 14 parallel to the guide rod, and the rotating shafts 14 are linked by gears and driven to rotate synchronously by a motor. By rotating the rotating shafts 14, the external fins can be brought into the fin feeding mechanism 1, so that the fins enter the top of the guide rod.

[0043] The fin sorting mechanism 2 is located near the output end of the fin feeding mechanism 1, and sorts the fins fed by the fin feeding mechanism 1 into parallel and equally spaced fins before being fed out. This ensures that subsequent assembly can proceed in an orderly manner and avoids overlapping or excessive fins in one output.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fin sorting mechanism 2 includes an equidistant conveyor belt 21 and a sorting turntable 22. The equidistant conveyor belt 21 and the fin feeding mechanism 1 convey the fins in the same direction and are driven by a motor to rotate cyclically. The surface of the equidistant conveyor belt 21 is distributed with equally spaced limiting grooves 211, and the direction of the limiting grooves 211 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the equidistant conveyor belt 21. The sorting turntable 22 is rotatably mounted between the output end of the fin feeding mechanism 1 and the input end of the equidistant conveyor belt 21. The rotating shaft 14 is horizontal and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the equidistant conveyor belt 21 and is driven to rotate by a motor. The circumference of the sorting turntable 22 is provided with radial transfer grooves 221. The transfer grooves 221 receive the fins conveyed by the fin feeding mechanism 1 and place them on the limiting grooves 211 by the rotation of the sorting turntable 22. Each limiting groove 211 can hold one fin, thus sorting the fins into the required placement method in preparation for subsequent ejection and insertion of flat tubes.

[0045] In another embodiment, the sorting turntable 22 includes two parallel turntables spaced apart. The feed end and discharge end of the sorting turntable 22 are connected to the fin feeding mechanism 1 and the equidistant conveyor belt 21 by means of gaps, and the connection is staggered, which has good connection and can prevent the fins from falling off during transfer. In addition, it can also better feed the fins into the transfer groove 221 through the feeding mechanism, and the equidistant conveyor belt 21 can also more smoothly carry the fins out of the transfer groove 221.

[0046] The fin feeding mechanism 3 is located near the output end of the fin sorting mechanism 2, and pushes the fins fed out by the fin sorting mechanism 2 into the assembly mechanism 5.

[0047] In one embodiment, the fin feeding mechanism 3 serves as a connecting mechanism between the fin sorting mechanism 2 and the assembly mechanism 5, and includes a fin feeding track 31, a fin feeding drive 32, and a fin pushing member 33. The fin feeding track 31 is installed at the output end of the fin sorting mechanism 2, and the fin feeding track 31 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the fin sorting mechanism 2. The fin feeding drive 32 is installed around the fin feeding track 31 and drives the fin pushing member 33 to reciprocate between the output end of the fin sorting mechanism 2 and the fin feeding track 31, pushing the fins output by the fin sorting mechanism 2 one by one onto the fin feeding track 31, preparing for subsequent assembly operations.

[0048] Furthermore, baffles are provided on both sides of the fin delivery track 31 to prevent the fins from falling off during assembly. The fin pushing component 33 includes a first lifting cylinder and a first pushing plate. The first lifting cylinder is mounted on top of the fin delivery track 31 via the fin delivery drive component 32, with its piston rod pointing downwards. The first pushing plate is horizontally positioned, with one end mounted on the bottom of the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder via a base plate, and the other end pointing towards the fin delivery track. Driven by the first lifting cylinder, it approaches the output end of the sorting mechanism, pushing the fins at the output end of the sorting mechanism from the end onto the fin delivery track 31. In addition, the fin delivery drive component 32 also uses a motor to drive a pulley and a belt, which in turn drives the first lifting cylinder to move along the fin delivery track 31 via the belt.

[0049] The assembly mechanism 5 is located close to the output ends of the fin feeding mechanism 3 and the flat tube conveying mechanism 4, and receives the fins conveyed by the fin feeding mechanism 3 and the flat tubes conveyed by the flat tube conveying mechanism 4, and performs the assembly of the fins and flat tubes.

[0050] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 5 serves as the assembly site for fins and flat tubes, and includes an assembly platform 51, a fin insertion drive 52, and a fin push-in component 53. One side of the assembly platform 51 is the fin entry end, which connects to the output end of the fin delivery mechanism 3, and the other side is the flat tube entry end, which connects to the output end of the flat tube conveying mechanism 4 and receives the flat tubes output by the flat tube conveying mechanism 4. The flat tubes output by the flat tube conveying mechanism 4 and the fins output by the fin delivery mechanism 3 are collinear, thus enabling the fins to be smoothly inserted into the flat tubes. The fin insertion drive 52 is installed near the fin entry end of the assembly platform 51 and drives the fin push-in component 53 to push the fins from the output end of the fin delivery mechanism 3 into the flat tubes on the assembly platform 51, completing the assembly operation.

[0051] Specifically, the fin inserting component 53 includes a second lifting cylinder 531 and a second pushing plate 532; the second lifting cylinder 531 is installed on the top of the fin delivery track and close to the assembly platform 51 via the fin inserting drive component 52, the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 531 faces downward, and the second pushing plate 532 is connected to the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 531 via a connecting seat 533.

[0052] The assembly mechanism 5 also includes a pressing component 54, which is installed on the top of the assembly platform 51 and arranged along the length of the flat tube on the assembly platform 51. The pressing component 54 includes a lifting seat and a pressing seat. The lifting seat drives the pressing seat to move up and down to press or release the flat tube on the assembly platform 51. By providing the pressing component, the flat tube can be held in place when the fin is inserted, preventing the flat tube from moving. Furthermore, the fin insertion drive 52 also uses a motor-driven pulley and belt, which in turn drives the lifting cylinder of the fin insertion component 53 to move along the fin delivery track 31. To simplify the structure and improve the consistency of action, the fin delivery drive 32 and the fin insertion drive 52 can use the same set of motors, belts, and pulleys.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment, the flat tube conveying mechanism 4 includes a flat tube conveyor belt 41, a movable storage seat 42, a discharge drive 43, and a baffle plate 44. There are two flat tube conveyor belts 41, with their output ends respectively located on both sides of the assembly platform 51, and they are driven to rotate cyclically by a drive component. The movable storage seat 42 is movably disposed at the top of the feed end of the flat tube conveyor belt 41, and is driven to reciprocate along the direction of the flat tube conveyor belt 41 by the discharge drive 43. There are two movable storage seats 42, arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the flat tube conveyor belt 41, with several vertically penetrating storage troughs 421 on opposite sides. The baffle plate 44 is installed between the flat tube conveyor belt 41 and the movable storage seat 42, and blocks the bottom opening of the storage trough 421. The discharge drive component 43 drives the movable storage seat 42 to move gradually, and each storage trough 421 and the baffle plate 44 are gradually staggered, so that the flat tubes in each storage trough 421 can be placed one by one on the flat tube conveyor belt 41 to achieve orderly feeding.

[0054] Preferably, the discharge drive unit 43 adopts a drive structure in which a motor drives a pulley and a belt, and then drives the movable storage seat 42 through the belt.

[0055] The output mechanism 6 is located near the output end of the assembly mechanism 5 and conveys the assembled product from the assembly mechanism 5, thus completing one finned flat tube assembly process.

[0056] The output mechanism 6 includes a straightening assembly 61, a receiving hopper 62, an output drive 63, and an output pusher 64. The feeding end of the straightening assembly 61 is connected to the discharge end of the assembly mechanism 5, while the receiving hopper 62 is connected to the discharge end of the straightening assembly 61. The straightening assembly 61 includes an output track and at least two sets of clamping rollers 611. The output track receives the flat tubes output from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism 5. The clamping rollers 611 are installed at intervals along the output track, dividing it into several segments. The flat tubes output from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism 5 are straightened by the clamping rollers 611 and pushed out of the output track to enter the receiving hopper 62. The output drive 63 is installed near the discharge end of the assembly mechanism 5 and is connected to drive the output pusher 64 to push the flat tubes from the discharge end of the assembly mechanism 5 into the output track and the clamping rollers 611. Preferably, the output drive 63 adopts a motor and gear rack drive structure.

[0057] The output mechanism 6 also includes a flat tube port sealing assembly. The flat tube port sealing assembly can use up-and-down moving rollers 65 to make the flat tube port pass through the gap between the up-and-down moving rollers 65, so as to seal the flat tube port and prevent the fins from falling out.

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, in the reverse direction of fin entry, the fin feeding mechanism 1 can also sequentially connect to the fin drying mechanism, the fin coating spraying mechanism, and the fin degreasing mechanism. The fin degreasing mechanism uses a degreasing hood to cover the conveyor belt, and a hot air gun is inserted at the top of the degreasing hood. The hot air gun heats the temperature inside the degreasing hood and simultaneously blows directly onto the fins, melting and removing the greasy substances adhering to them. The fin coating spraying mechanism uses a coating hood to cover the conveyor belt, and a spray nozzle is inserted at the top of the coating hood to spray the passing fins, applying a coating material to the surface of the degreased fins. The fin drying mechanism uses a drying hood to cover the conveyor belt, and a hot air gun is inserted at the top of the drying hood. The hot air gun heats the air inside the drying hood, drying the coating material on the fin surface, facilitating its output by the subsequent fin feeding mechanism 1 for further assembly.

[0059] The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention has relatively complete functional modules, capable of sequentially outputting and assembling fins and flat tubes one by one. It can be directly applied to the output end of fin and flat tube production equipment, realizing fully automated fin and flat tube assembly. The fin and flat tube assembly equipment provided by this invention eliminates the need for manual transfer of fins and flat tubes during assembly, significantly improving the assembly efficiency and quality of fins and flat tubes.

Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
