Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive parts processing, and particularly relates to a brazing device for an automotive intercooler core body. Background Art

[0002] The charge air cooler is a radiator located between the engine and the turbocharger, abbreviated as the intercooler. It is generally equipped in turbocharged vehicles and is responsible for cooling the high-temperature air after supercharging, reducing the intake air temperature, and improving the charging efficiency and power performance of the engine. During the turbocharging process, the air will be highly compressed and generate a large amount of heat, resulting in a decrease in air expansion density. At the same time, the engine will be damaged due to excessive temperature. The common air-cooled intercooler is generally equipped at the front of the vehicle, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure air output by the supercharger is dispersed into many small pipes, and there is a normal-temperature and high-speed air flow generated during the driving of the vehicle outside the pipes, so that the air is cooled before entering the cylinder.

[0003] The existing air-cooled intercooler cores generally include main boards, air ducts, heat dissipation fins, side plates, etc. When brazing the cores, since there are many core components and the dimensions are fine, a brazing device is often used. At present, the brazing equipment for intercooler cores is generally a vacuum brazing furnace. After the solder is assembled on the core and the flux is sprayed, the cores are stacked and sent into the brazing furnace for welding. However, this welding method will cause the solder before welding to be not firmly assembled with the core, and it is necessary to separately bundle and fix the stacked cores before sending them into the brazing furnace, which will prolong the waiting time before core brazing, resulting in excessive loss of flux on the core and affecting the welding effect. For this reason, a brazing device for an automotive intercooler core body is proposed. Summary of the Invention

By providing a feeding structure, during the loading and feeding process, the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform will lift and extend into the interior of the feeding grid, limit the feeding grid, and after the pre-assembled core is placed in the feeding grid, it will be supported by the electric lifting platform. Then the electric lifting platform descends a unit distance to keep the height of each placement of the electric lifting platform consistent, thus facilitating the loading by the staff. When the feeding grid is full, the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform completely withdraws from the feeding grid, enabling the feeding grid to be transported along the long conveying rollers and short conveying rollers.

[0016] Such as Figures 1 to 11As shown, an automotive intercooler core brazing device includes a vacuum brazing furnace 1 and a processing tunnel 2. As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, two traveling tracks 3 are fixedly installed inside the processing tunnel 2, and a transport vehicle 4 is placed on the two traveling tracks 3. As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, a steering motor 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transport vehicle 4. The output shaft of the steering motor 5 extends to the top of the transport vehicle 4 and is fixedly installed with a steering shaft 6. A steering plate 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the steering shaft 6. Two clamping slide rails 8 and two clamping electric push rods 10 are fixedly installed at the top of the steering plate 7. Clamping sliders 9 are slidably installed at the tops of the clamping slide rails 8. The telescopic ends of the two clamping electric push rods 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the two clamping sliders 9. Deflection motors 11 are fixedly installed at the tops of the clamping sliders 9. Clamping plates 12 are fixedly installed on the output shafts of the deflection motors 11. A pre-assembled core 13 is placed between the two clamping plates 12. As Figure 5 shown, the pre-assembled core 13 includes two main boards 1301. A plurality of heat dissipation air ducts 1302 and two side plates 1303 are inserted between the two main boards 1301. The heat dissipation air ducts 1302 are all located between the two side plates 1303. Two solder racks 14 are arranged on one side of each main board 1301. The four solder racks 14 are respectively located at both ends of the plurality of heat dissipation air ducts 1302.

[0017] In this embodiment, the plurality of heat dissipation air ducts 1302 and the two side plates 1303 are tightly inserted into the main boards 1301 on both sides through interference fit. The material of the solder rack 14 is an alloy with a melting point lower than that of the base material of the pre-assembled core 13. After the pre-assembly of the pre-assembled core 13, the four solder racks 14 are also pre-assembled with the pre-assembled core 13 through interference fit insertion. As Figure 4 shown, the transport vehicle 4 is in an "I" shape. As Figure 6 shown, the solder rack 14 is a wavy mechanism, which fits the shape of the numerous heat dissipation air ducts 1302. The lengths of the upper and lower ends of the solder rack 14 are slightly greater than the width of the side plate 1303 to reduce the influence caused by the melting loss during the hot melt fixation of the solder rack 14.

[0018] More specifically, when the pre-assembled core body 13 brazing device of the vehicle is in use, the transport vehicle 4 moves to the entrance of the processing tunnel 2 away from the vacuum brazing furnace 1, the steering motor 5 drives the steering plate 7 to rotate until it is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the transport vehicle 4. The staff inserts the pre-assembled core body 13 with the solder rack 14 pre-inserted and assembled from top to bottom between the two clamping plates 12. The steering motor 5 drives the steering plate 7 to reset, and the transport vehicle 4 drives the pre-assembled core body 13 to move along the traveling track 3 into the processing tunnel 2. When the transport vehicle 4 travels to the spraying mechanism, it stops. The spraying mechanism sprays the flux on the periphery of the pre-assembled core body 13, so that the main board 1301, the side board 1303, and the heat dissipation air duct 1302 are all wetted with the flux. Then, the transport vehicle 4 sends the pre-assembled core body 13 into the disassembly and assembly box 20 and stops. The disassembly and assembly structures on both sides remove the solder rack 14 from the pre-assembled core body 13. The transport vehicle 4 carries the pre-assembled core body 13 back to the spraying mechanism for secondary spraying, so that the joints between the main board 1301 and the heat dissipation air duct 1302 and the side board 1303 originally covered by the solder rack 14 are also sprayed with the flux. Then, the pre-assembled core body 13 is sent into the disassembly and assembly box 20 again to be reassembled with the solder rack 14 to complete the pre-treatment. Finally, it is sent to the feeding mechanism for batch loading and then collectively sent into the vacuum brazing furnace 1 for heating and brazing, so that the two solder racks 14 melt and penetrate into the joints between the main board 1301 and the heat dissipation air duct 1302 and the side board 1303 to complete the brazing.

[0019] Inside the processing tunnel 2, there is a spraying mechanism for spraying flux, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 shown. Specifically, the spraying mechanism includes a U-shaped shunt pipe 16 arranged inside the processing tunnel 2. The U-shaped shunt pipe 16 corresponds to the position of the pre-assembled core body 13. A welding delivery pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the processing tunnel 2. One end of the welding delivery pipe 15 extends into the processing tunnel 2 and is connected to the U-shaped shunt pipe 16. On one side where the two bottom ends of the U-shaped shunt pipe 16 are close to each other, a plurality of uniformly distributed shunt nozzles 17 are fixedly installed.

[0020] In this embodiment, one end of the welding delivery pipe 15 is connected to the flux storage tank, and the flux is transported for welding through an infusion pump.

[0021] More specifically, by setting up the spray mechanism, when the pre-assembled core 13 is transported into the U-shaped shunt pipe 16, the welding delivery pipe 15 transports the flux into the U-shaped shunt pipe 16 and evenly sprays it onto the pre-assembled core 13 through a plurality of shunt nozzles 17 on both sides. As the transport vehicle 4 moves, each heat dissipation air duct 1302, side plate 1303, main board 1301, and the internal fins can come into contact with the flux, thereby improving the wettability after the subsequent solder rack 14 melts, cleaning each component of the pre-assembled core 13, increasing the uniformity of the flux sprayed on the pre-assembled core 13, while accelerating the speed of spraying the flux and reducing the waiting time before brazing.

[0022] As Figure 2 , Figure 7 shown, specifically, a liquid storage pool is provided inside the traveling track 3. The liquid storage pool is located between the two traveling tracks 3 and at the bottom of the U-shaped shunt pipe 16. Two cleaning nozzles 18 are fixedly installed at both bottom ends of the U-shaped shunt pipe 16. As Figure 4 shown, two symmetrically arranged baffle inclined plates 19 are fixedly installed on the top of the transport vehicle 4. Both cleaning nozzles 18 are inclined and respectively face the two baffle inclined plates 19.

[0023] More specifically, by setting up the baffle inclined plates 19, the deflection motor 11 drives the two clamping plates 12 to drive the pre-assembled core 13 to deflect left and right, so that the excess flux and the sputtered flux during spraying will be blocked by the baffle inclined plates 19 on both sides and flow into the liquid storage pool through the gap between the transport vehicle 4 and the baffle inclined plates 19, preventing the flux from being sputtered into the interior of the processing tunnel 2 and the traveling track 3. At the same time, a small amount of flux will be sprayed onto the baffle inclined plates 19 through the cleaning nozzles 18 at the bottom end of the U-shaped shunt pipe 16 to clean the baffle inclined plates 19 and the inner wall of the liquid storage pool.

[0024] An assembly and disassembly mechanism for disassembling and assembling the solder rack 14 is provided inside the processing tunnel 2. As Figure 2 , Figure 8 shown, specifically, the assembly and disassembly mechanism includes a disassembly box 20 fixedly installed inside the processing tunnel 2. A plurality of linear guide rails 21 are fixedly installed inside the disassembly box 20. The plurality of linear guide rails 21 are respectively located on both sides inside the disassembly box 20. Electric sliders 22 are drivingly installed on the tops of the linear guide rails 21. The tops of the plurality of electric sliders 22 on the same side are fixedly installed with the same support plate 23. Two vertical frames 24 are fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 23. Two symmetrically arranged horizontal frames 25 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the vertical frames 24. Electric slide rails 26 are fixedly installed at the mutually approaching ends of the plurality of horizontal frames 25 on both sides. Miniature jaws 27 adapted to the solder rack 14 are drivingly installed on one side of the electric slide rails 26. The two miniature jaws 27 on the same vertical frame 24 are symmetrically arranged.

[0025] More specifically, by setting up the disassembly and assembly mechanism, after the pre-assembled core 13 is sent into the disassembly and packing box 20, the electric sliders 22 on both sides move along the linear guide rails 21, and drive the four groups of micro-jaws 27 to move towards the pre-assembled core 13 through the vertical frame 24 and the horizontal frame 25. Then, each electric slide rail 26 drives the micro-jaws 27 to move towards the solder rack 14 and clamp the four solder racks 14 up and down respectively. After that, the electric slider 22 resets, removes the four solder racks 14 from the pre-assembled core 13. At this time, the transport vehicle 4 drives the pre-assembled core 13 to retreat for secondary flux spraying. After the spraying is completed, the disassembly and assembly structure reassembles the solder rack 14 on the pre-assembled core 13 again, thus realizing the automatic disassembly and assembly of the solder rack 14, facilitating the secondary flux spraying, reducing the spraying dead angle, increasing the residence time of the flux on the pre-assembled core 13. During the disassembly and assembly process of the solder rack 14, the pre-assembled core 13 is always clamped by the clamping plates 12 on both sides, thus avoiding the problem that the pre-assembled core 13 is prone to falling apart during the traditional transportation process.

[0026] A hot melt fixing unit for hot melt fixing the solder rack 14 is arranged at the top of the disassembly and packing box 20, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 9 shown. Specifically, the hot melt fixing unit includes a receiving groove 28 fixedly installed at the top of the disassembly and packing box 20. A receiving electric push rod 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the receiving groove 28. The telescopic end of the receiving electric push rod 29 extends into the inside of the receiving groove 28 and the disassembly and packing box 20 and is fixedly installed with an electric heating clamp 30. An electric heating machine 31 is fixedly installed at the top of the disassembly and packing box 20. The electric heating clamp 30 is electrically connected to the electric heating machine 31. An H-shaped heating rack 32 is clamped on the electric heating clamp 30, and the position of the H-shaped heating rack 32 corresponds to that of the pre-assembled core 13.

[0027] More specifically, by setting up the hot melt fixing unit, during the secondary spraying process of the pre-assembled core 13, the receiving electric push rod 29 drives the electric heating clamp 30 inside the receiving groove 28 to drive the H-shaped heating rack 32 to move down until it is located between the solder racks 14 on both sides. At this time, the H-shaped heating rack 32 remains in a high-temperature state under the heating of the electric heating machine 31 and the electric heating clamp 30. The disassembly and assembly mechanisms on both sides send the solder racks 14 to the H-shaped heating rack 32, so that the upper and lower ends of the four solder racks 14 are in contact with the H-shaped heating rack 32 and are slightly melted by heat. Then, the solder rack 14 and the H-shaped heating rack 32 are reset in sequence, and the solder rack 14 is reassembled on the pre-assembled core 13. At this time, the two ends of the two groups of solder racks 14 are bonded to each other, and the solder racks 14 on both sides are combined into a complete solder frame, greatly improving the assembly tightness of the solder rack 14 on the pre-assembled core 13, thus further preventing the pre-assembled core 13 from falling apart during subsequent loading and feeding. At the same time, the hot melt fixing is carried out by using the gap of the secondary flux spraying, further reducing the waiting time before brazing.

[0028] A loading structure for loading the pre-assembled core 13 is provided between the vacuum brazing furnace 1 and the processing tunnel 2. Figure 2 、 Figure 10 As shown, specifically, the loading structure includes a loading platform 33 arranged between the vacuum brazing furnace 1 and the processing tunnel 2, and a plurality of horizontally arranged long conveying rollers 34 and short conveying rollers 35 are rotatably installed on the top of the loading platform 33, and the same loading grid 36 is placed on the plurality of long conveying rollers 34 and short conveying rollers 35.

[0029] In this embodiment, the long conveying roller 34, the short conveying roller 35 and the loading platform 33 form an unpowered conveyor. The long conveying roller 34 and the short conveying roller 35 support the loading grid 36, so that the loading grid 36 can move toward the vacuum brazing furnace 1 as the long conveying roller 34 and the short conveying roller 35 roll under human push or pull for loading.

[0030] More specifically, by setting up a loading structure, after the pre-processing of the pre-assembled core 13 is completed, the transport vehicle 4 moves to the exit of the processing tunnel 2, and the staff extracts the pre-assembled core 13 from the clamping plate 12 and places it in the loading grid 36. When the loading grid 36 is fully loaded, the insulating door and the airtight door of the vacuum brazing furnace 1 are opened, and the loading grid 36 is pushed into the vacuum brazing furnace 1 along the long conveyor roller 34 and the short conveyor roller 35 for brazing.

[0031] like Figure 10 As shown, specifically, an electric lifting platform 37 is provided inside the loading platform 33 , the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform 37 extends to the inside of the loading grid 36 , and a plurality of short conveying rollers 35 are respectively distributed on both sides of the electric lifting platform 37 .

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 11 As shown, the bottom of the loading grid 36 is a plate-like structure for supporting the preassembled cores 13 stacked inside. A clearance hole is provided at the bottom of the loading grid 36 for the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform 37 to pass through, so that the electric lifting platform 37 can extend into the loading grid 36 to support the stacked preassembled cores 13.

[0033] More specifically, by setting up an electric lifting platform 37, during the loading and feeding process, the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform 37 will be lifted and extended to the inside of the feeding grid 36 to limit the feeding grid 36. After the pre-assembled core 13 is placed in the feeding grid 36, it will be supported by the electric lifting platform 37, and then the electric lifting platform 37 will be lowered a unit distance so that the height of the electric lifting platform 37 is kept consistent each time, thereby facilitating the loading of the staff. When the feeding grid 36 is fully loaded, the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform 37 completely withdraws from the feeding grid 36, so that the feeding grid 36 can be transported along the long conveyor roller 34 and the short conveyor roller 35.

[0034] As shown Figure 2 Specifically, an air-cooling fan 38 is fixedly installed inside the processing tunnel 2. The air-cooling fan 38 is located on the side of the loading table 33 away from the vacuum brazing furnace 1, and the position of the air-cooling fan 38 corresponds to the position of the pre-assembled core 13.

[0035] More specifically, by setting the air-cooling fan 38, the pre-assembled core 13 after the pretreatment will pass through the air-cooling fan 38, so that the heat-melt bonding part of the solder rack 14 is cooled, accelerating the curing of the bonding part of the solder rack 14, and at the same time preventing subsequent workers from being scalded during loading.

[0036] In summary: Flux spraying: The transport vehicle 4 moves to the entrance of the processing tunnel 2 away from the vacuum brazing furnace 1. The steering motor 5 drives the steering plate 7 to rotate perpendicular to the traveling direction of the transport vehicle 4. The worker inserts the pre-assembled core 13 pre-inserted and assembled with the solder rack 14 from top to bottom between the two clamping plates 12. The steering motor 5 drives the steering plate 7 to reset. The transport vehicle 4 drives the pre-assembled core 13 to move inside the processing tunnel 2 along the traveling track 3. When the transport vehicle 4 travels to the spraying mechanism and stops, the welding delivery pipe 15 delivers the flux into the U-shaped shunt pipe 16 and evenly sprays it on the pre-assembled core 13 through a plurality of shunt nozzles 17 on both sides. As the transport vehicle 4 moves, each heat dissipation air duct 1302, side plate 1303, main board 1301, and the internal fins can contact the flux, thereby improving the wettability after the subsequent melting of the solder rack 14 and cleaning each component of the pre-assembled core 13; Secondary spraying: Then the transport vehicle 4 sends the pre-assembled core 13 into the disassembly and packing box 20 and stops. The electric sliders 22 on both sides travel along the linear guide rails 21, driving the four groups of micro grippers 27 to move towards the pre-assembled core 13 through the vertical frame 24 and the horizontal frame 25. Then each electric slide rail 26 drives the micro grippers 27 to move towards the solder rack 14 and respectively clamp the four solder racks 14 up and down. Then the electric slider 22 resets, removes the four solder racks 14 from the pre-assembled core 13. At this time, the transport vehicle 4 drives the pre-assembled core 13 to retreat for secondary flux spraying, so that the joints between the main board 1301 covered by the solder rack 14 and the heat dissipation air duct 1302 and side plate 1303 are also sprayed with flux. After the spraying is completed, the disassembly and assembly structure reassembles the solder rack 14 on the pre-assembled core 13; Hot melt fixation: During the secondary spraying process of the pre-assembled core 13, the receiving electric push rod 29 drives the electric heating clamp 30 inside the receiving groove 28 to drive the H-shaped heating rack 32 to move downward until it is located between the solder racks 14 on both sides. At this time, the H-shaped heating rack 32 maintains a high temperature state under the heating of the electric heating machine 31 and the electric heating clamp 30. The disassembly and assembly mechanisms on both sides send the solder racks 14 to the H-shaped heating rack 32, so that the upper and lower ends of the four solder racks 14 are in contact with the H-shaped heating rack 32 and are slightly melted by heat. Then, the solder racks 14 and the H-shaped heating rack 32 are reset in sequence, and the solder racks 14 are reassembled on the pre-assembled core 13. At this time, the two ends of the two groups of solder racks 14 are bonded to each other, and the solder racks 14 on both sides are combined into a complete solder frame; Loading and brazing: After the pre-assembled core 13 is pretreated, the transport vehicle 4 moves to the exit of the processing tunnel 2. The staff takes out the pre-assembled core 13 from the clamping plate 12 and places it in the loading wire mesh rack 36. When the loading wire mesh rack 36 is full, the heat-insulating door and the airtight door of the vacuum brazing furnace 1 are opened, and the loading wire mesh rack 36 is pushed into the vacuum brazing furnace 1 along the long conveying roller 34 and the short conveying roller 35 for brazing, so that the two groups of solder racks 14 are melted and penetrate into the joints between the main board 1301, the heat dissipation air duct 1302, and the side plate 1303 to complete the brazing.
