Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate-type radiator welding, in particular to a welding device for a plate-type radiator. Background Art

[0002] A fin radiator is typically made of stacked metal fins, which are interconnected to form a device with a larger heat dissipation surface area. A transformer radiator utilizes two steel plates to form a fin group, with an internal cavity for the cooling flow of transformer oil. Multiple fin groups are then connected by pipes. The excellent thermal conductivity, large heat capacity, and high heat dissipation efficiency of the steel plate material allow heat to be dissipated quickly and effectively, achieving efficient heat dissipation through evenly distributed heat. During automated production welding, each fin group needs to be welded at both ends to ensure structural strength.

[0003] During the welding process, the welding device is usually installed on a conveyor rack, and the two ends are welded and fixed using the welding head added to the conveyor rack. During the whole process, the welding of one end can be carried out before the welding of the other end. The operation is relatively limited, resulting in low work efficiency. In addition, there is usually only one welding processing position on the conveyor rack without any diversion structure. When the welding length is long, it is very likely that the welding position will be stuck. It takes a long time to wait before the welding process of the next sheet can be carried out, which further reduces the work efficiency. In addition, when the sheets are carefully conveyed, some deviations are inevitable in the conveyor rack. If they are not calibrated and fixed, the weld position cannot be completely aligned with the welding head, which will lead to a decrease in the overall welding quality. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The driving assembly includes a mounting slot 41, which is opened on the side wall of the lifting slot 11 and is aligned with the welding head 4. A telescopic plate 42 is slidably connected in the mounting slot 41, and a mounting plate 43 is slidably connected at the front end of the telescopic plate 42. The welding head 4 is fixed on the mounting plate 43. A push-out telescopic cylinder 44 is fixed on the inner side wall of the mounting slot 41, and the output end of the push-out telescopic cylinder 44 is fixed on the telescopic plate 42. A threaded rod 45 is rotatably connected in the telescopic plate 42, and a servo motor 46 is provided on the outside of the telescopic plate 42 for driving the threaded rod 45 to rotate. The inner side of the mounting plate 43 is located in the telescopic plate 42, and the threaded rod 45 passes through the inner side of the mounting plate 43 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 43. By driving the push-out telescopic cylinder 44, the telescopic plate 42 and the mounting plate 43 can be extended from the mounting slot 41 to align the welding head 4 with the welding position. Finally, during welding, the servo motor 46 is used to drive the threaded rod 45 to rotate, driving the mounting plate 43 and the welding head 4 to slide linearly.

[0025] The lifting assembly includes a lifting and telescopic cylinder 23 and a guide block 22. The lifting and telescopic cylinder 23 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting groove 11, and the output end is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame 2.

The drive of the driving motor 54 can drive the bidirectional screw rod 53 to rotate, and then the calibration plate 51 performs synchronous reverse movement to align the heat sink to the middle position and limit it to ensure that the heat sink is in the middle position.

[0027] Working principle: First, connect the entire device to an external power supply. During the heat sink welding process, the conveyor rack 1 is used to convey the heat sink. At this time, the position of the heat sink on the conveyor rack 1 can be determined by using the sensor 31. When the heat sink reaches the designated conveying wheel 3 position, the conveying wheel 3 at that position is driven to rotate. There is no need to keep all the conveying wheels 3 rotating all the time, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving. Secondly, during welding, the heat sink will enter the bottom cavity of the lifting rack 2. At this time, the end block 27 will be extended from the bottom block 26 by the drive of the cylinder to limit the depth of entry of the heat sink. When the heat sink is fully entered, the lifting rack 2 can be driven by the lifting and telescopic cylinder 23 to fall until the welding position is aligned with the welding head 4, and then the welding operation is performed. At this time, the upper end cavity above the lifting rack 2 is aligned with the conveying position of the conveyor rack 1. While welding, it does not affect the normal conveying of other heat sinks, and enters the next lifting rack 2 position for welding operations. Using one conveyor rack 1, the purpose of multi-station welding operation is achieved, reducing waiting time. The time can greatly improve the working efficiency. Before welding, the driving motor 54 can be used to drive the bidirectional screw rod 53 to rotate, and then the calibration plate 51 can be synchronously reversed to align the heat sink to the middle position to ensure that the heat sink is in the middle position, which is more convenient for the alignment of the welding head 4 and improves the welding quality. After calibration, the hydraulic cylinder can be used to eject the extrusion block 25, squeeze and fix the end of the heat sink, and then extend the welding head 4, and slide the welding head 4 on the outside of the telescopic plate 42 to achieve the purpose of welding at both ends, further improving the working efficiency. After the welding head 4 is retracted to the inside of the mounting groove 41, it does not affect the normal lifting of the lifting frame 2. In this process, the driving of the ejection telescopic cylinder 44 can be used to extend the telescopic plate 42 and the mounting plate 43 from the mounting groove 41 to align the welding head 4 with the welding position. Finally, during welding, the servo motor 46 is used to drive the threaded rod 45 to rotate, driving the mounting plate 43 and the welding head 4 to slide linearly to complete the purpose of complete welding.
