Detailed Implementation
[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides an embodiment of a safe and reliable finned tube dismantling machine, comprising a base plate 1, a tube body 2, and a protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the base plate 1 in a flip-type manner, which can prevent the cut fins from splashing and injuring the workers, thus providing protection. A transparent plastic glass plate is embedded inside the protective cover 3. The transparent plastic glass plate ensures that the machine itself is strong enough to allow workers to easily observe the dismantling process of the finned tubes inside. A drive assembly a is fixedly connected to the left side of the base plate 1. The drive assembly a includes a motor 4. The bottom end of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the base plate 1. Here, the base plate 1 provides support and fixation for the motor 4. A main pulley 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 4. The left side of the main pulley 5 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the base plate 1. When the motor 4 starts and rotates forward, it drives the main pulley 5 to rotate together.
[0038] A driven pulley 6 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the base plate 1. A belt 7 is fitted around the outside of the main pulley 5 and the driven pulley 6. Because the belt 7 connects the main pulley 5 and the driven pulley 6, when the main pulley 5 rotates, it drives the belt 7 to rotate, thereby driving the driven pulley 6 to rotate as well. A threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the main pulley 5. The other end of the threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner right side of the base plate 1. When the main pulley 5 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate as well. A clamping mechanism 9 is provided on the inner right side of the base plate 1. The clamping mechanism 9 is used to clamp one end of the finned tube, serving a fixing function. Multiple rollers 10 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clamping mechanism 9 for clamping one end of the tube 2. These rollers 10 ensure that the finned tube is clamped and fixed while still allowing rotation. A support column 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the base plate 1 to support the other end of the tube 2. This support column 11 can be inserted into the inner wall of the finned tube, working in conjunction with the clamping mechanism 9 to fix the finned tube and prevent shaking or even flying out during disassembly. A friction wheel 12 that contacts the tube 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the drive assembly a. The left side of the friction wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the driven pulley 6. When the driven pulley 6 rotates, it drives the friction wheel 12 to rotate, thereby using friction to rotate the tube 2.
[0039] Reference Figures 4 to 6 A slot 13 is provided on the right side of the friction wheel 12. A plastic plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the base plate 1. The plastic plate 14 is made of plastic and rubber, which is stable and does not have any magnetic field interference capability. A locking block 15 is fixedly connected to the right side of the plastic plate 14. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the plastic plate 14. The outer side of the locking block 15 is slidably connected to the right side of the rotating shaft 17. At this point, half of the end of the rotating shaft 17 near the locking block 15 is cut off, so that under the restriction of the locking block 15, the maximum rotation angle when the rotating shaft 17 rotates is 1. At 80 degrees, a magnetic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating shaft 17. The magnetic rod 16 here is a high-strength type, with an effective magnetic field range of approximately 2 meters, which can completely cover this disassembly device. The right side of the friction wheel 12 is in contact with the left side of the magnetic rod 16. Multiple rubber balls 18 that engage with the slot 13 are fixedly connected to the left side of the magnetic rod 16. When the friction wheel 12 rotates, the engagement of the rubber balls 18 will drive the magnetic rod 16 to rotate. Due to the presence of the rotating shaft 17 and the locking block 15, the maximum rotation angle of the magnetic rod 16 here is only 180 degrees.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7The drive assembly a has an external threaded connection to a slide plate 19. The inner wall of the slide plate 19 is threaded to the outside of a threaded rod 8. When the threaded rod 8 rotates, it can drive the slide plate 19 to move left and right. The bottom end of the slide plate 19 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the base plate 1. There are two limit blocks at the bottom end of the slide plate 19 to ensure the stability of the slide plate 19 during sliding and prevent deviation. The right side of the slide plate 19 is fixedly connected to a quick-release assembly b, which includes a retaining frame 20. The left side of the retaining frame 20 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slide plate 19. The inner wall of the retaining frame 20 is detachably connected to a retaining ring 21. The top end of the retaining frame 20 can... The quick-release assembly b has a rubber post 23 that engages with the retaining ring 21. The top of the rubber post 23 is fixedly connected to a top plate 24. The bottom of the top plate 24 contacts the top of the retaining frame 20. Before removing the finned tube, the retaining ring 21 can be inserted into the retaining frame 20. Then, the rubber post 23 is aligned with the groove at the top of the retaining ring 21 and slid down, so that the rubber post 23 is inserted into the retaining frame 20. At the same time, the top plate 24 acts as a cap. The right side of the quick-release assembly b is fixedly connected to a cutter disc 22. The cutter disc 22 is the main cutting tool for removing the finned tube. The left side of the cutter disc 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the retaining ring 21.
[0041] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The cutter head 22 has two rotating blocks 25 internally connected. A scraper 26 and a grinding blade 27 are fixedly connected to both sides of each rotating block 25. This rotating block 25 is a switching device that can switch between the scraper 26 (for disassembling the finned tube) and the grinding blade 27 (for polishing the disassembled outer tube to remove burrs, etc.). This eliminates the need to move the finned tube to a dedicated polishing device after disassembly, reducing processes, manpower, and material consumption, and lowering costs. A magnet 28 is also fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating block 25. The magnetic rod 16 attracts both magnets 28 simultaneously. The magnets 28 here are strong permanent magnets with fixed poles, meaning they possess fixed and lasting magnetism. Figure 8 The state shown is a repulsive state. After the magnetic rod 16 rotates 180 degrees, the magnetic field can be switched. After the switch, the state of the two can be switched to an attractive state, thereby driving the rotating block 25 to rotate, thus switching the disassembly mode to the grinding mode. Two limiting posts 29 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the rotating block 25. The inner wall of the cutter head 22 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 30 to limit the sliding range of the limiting posts 29. The limiting posts 29 and the limiting grooves 30 cooperate with each other to limit the rotation range of the rotating block 25 and prevent it from leaving the interior of the cutter head 22.
[0042] Working principle: First, motor 4 starts and rotates forward, which drives the main pulley 5 to rotate. The main pulley 5 transmits power to the driven pulley 6 through belt 7. The rotation of the driven pulley 6 in turn drives the friction wheel 12 to rotate. The friction wheel 12 drives the tube body 2 to rotate by friction. At the same time, the rotation of the main pulley 5 also drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 8 causes the slide plate 19 to move to the right. The slide plate 19 drives the quick-release assembly b and the cutter head 22 to move.
[0043] Before use, insert the retaining ring 21 into the retaining frame 20, then slide the rubber post 23 into the groove at the top of the retaining ring 21, and seal the top plate 24 to complete the installation of the quick-release component b. Clamp one end of the finned tube with the clamping mechanism 9 through the roller 10, and support and fix the other end with the support column 11. When the friction wheel 12 rotates, the presence of the rubber ball 18 will cause it to drive the magnetic rod 16 to rotate. However, due to the restriction of the retaining block 15, the magnetic rod 16 will be stuck after driving the rotating shaft 17 to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the driving force transmitted by the motor 4 will cause the friction wheel 12 to continue to rotate. Since the rubber ball 18 is made of rubber, it can deform within a certain range, thereby canceling the engagement with the friction wheel 12. At this time, the friction wheel 12 continues to rotate, but the magnetic rod 16 will stop, while ensuring a vertical state. At this time, the magnetic poles between the magnetic rod 16 and the two magnets 28 are the same, so a repulsive force is generated, causing the rotating block 25 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the scraper 26 will be in close contact with the outer surface of the tube 2. As the slide plate 19 moves to the right and the tube 2 itself rotates, the fins on the surface of the tube 2 are cut off.
[0044] After completing this step, i.e., the skateboard 19 moves to the far right of the bottom plate 1, the reverse motor 4 generates a reverse force, which is then transmitted back to the magnetic rod 16, causing it to reverse 180 degrees and be restricted again by the locking block 15 and the rotating shaft 17. At this time, because the magnetic rod 16 has rotated 180 degrees, the magnetic poles change, and the repulsion between the magnetic rod 16 and the two magnets 28 changes to attraction, which in turn drives the rotating block 25 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the grinding blade 27 is in close contact with the outer surface of the tube 2. At this time, under the reverse force of the motor 4, the skateboard 19 moves to the left, and the grinding blade 27 also grinds the outer surface of the tube 2, cleaning up the waste and burrs. There is no need to worry about the strength of the magnetism. The magnetic rod 16 and the magnets 28 here are strong magnetic types, with an effective magnetic field range of about 2 meters, which can completely cover the entire disassembly device. At the same time, the plastic plate 14 is made of plastic and rubber, which has no effect on the magnetic field of the magnetic rod 16 and the magnets 28 themselves.
[0045] This design saves a step compared to the existing method of replacing the machine after disassembly and then grinding, thus shortening the production cycle and reducing labor and material costs. The detachable cutter head 22 also facilitates easy removal and maintenance by workers, ensuring efficient disassembly. Furthermore, the protective cover 3 effectively prevents fins from flying during disassembly, preventing accidental injury to workers and improving safety.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
