Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compressor copper pipe welding, in particular to a refrigeration cabinet compressor copper pipe welding equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the core component of the refrigeration system, the compressor extracts and compresses the refrigerant from the low-pressure area to the high-pressure area through the copper pipe to realize efficient heat transfer from the heat sink to the air. In this process, the refrigeration copper pipe plays a key role in medium conduction. However, when welding the copper pipe, the operator usually holds the welding gun to burn the copper pipe connection on one side, and manually fills the solder for welding. Although this method is simple to operate, it seriously restricts the precision and reliability of the compressor copper pipe welding.
[0003] Chinese patent with publication number CN116871809A discloses a refrigeration cabinet compressor copper pipe welding equipment. When in use, the copper pipe can be quickly moved to the copper pipe welding position. During the movement, the positioning mechanism can move the copper pipe in the clamping piece towards the positioning plate, and finally make one end of the copper pipe contact with the positioning plate, thereby positioning the copper pipe. This can make the copper pipe reach a set position, so as to control the depth of mutual insertion when the copper pipe is welded and butt jointed, and ensure the overall height after the copper pipe is welded, thereby improving the precision when the copper pipe is inserted into the specified position in the compressor shell.
[0004] Although the above structure has certain automation effect, in actual use, feeding, positioning, welding and unloading all need to be operated step by step. Each link needs to be stopped and rotated to wait for manual intervention. The process is fragmented, which leads to low efficiency, and manual intervention increases the risk of quality fluctuation.

[0037] 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.
[0038] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0039] The following is based on Figure 1 - Figure 14 This invention describes the copper tube welding equipment for refrigeration cabinet compressors provided in an embodiment of the invention.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 14 This invention provides a technical solution: a copper tube welding device for a refrigeration cabinet compressor, including a worktable 2, a base 1 at the bottom of the worktable 2, and a feeding area 6, a wire winding area 7, a welding area 8, and a unloading area 9 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the worktable 2. It also includes a fixing sleeve 3, which is fixed to the middle of the worktable 2. The sleeve 3 has a hollow internal structure and a guide rail 15 at its upper end. The side of the guide rail 15 closest to the feeding area 6 is a high-level area, and the side of the guide rail 15 closest to the wire winding area 7, the welding area 8, and the unloading area 9 is a low-level area. The device also includes a rotating sleeve 4 and a central column 5. The rotating sleeve 4 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed sleeve 3. The central column 5 is located in the middle of the fixed sleeve 3 and rotates synchronously with the rotating sleeve 4. A connecting arm 29 is provided on its outer side. The connecting arm 29 can slide along the axial direction of the central column 5. A connecting slider 37 that forms a sliding fit with the guide rail 15 is provided at its lower end. When the connecting arm 29 rotates with the central column 5 and slides along the guide rail 15, its height is controlled by the contour of the guide rail 15. It should be noted that the side wall of the guide rail 15 is provided with a limiting rail that is adapted to it. The limiting rail is slidably connected with the connecting slider 37 to improve the stability of the connecting arm 29 during movement.
[0041] In addition, the refrigeration cabinet compressor copper pipe welding equipment provided by the embodiment further comprises clamping pieces, a wire winding assembly, and a welding assembly. The clamping pieces are fixed to the outer side of the rotating sleeve 4 and the other end of the connecting arm 29, and are respectively used for coaxially fixing the second copper pipe 11 and the first copper pipe 10. When the connecting arm 29 slides from the high position area to the low position area, the first copper pipe 10 and the second copper pipe 11 on the two clamping pieces are close to each other and are inserted. The wire winding assembly is arranged at the wire winding area 7 and is used for winding the brazing material at the connecting position of the second copper pipe 11 and the first copper pipe 10. It should be noted that the brazing material is preferably a welding wire. Preferably, the outer diameter of the first copper pipe 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second copper pipe 11. After the welding wire is wound at the connecting position of the first copper pipe 10 and the second copper pipe 11, due to the difference in the outer diameters, a ring-shaped step is formed at the connecting position, so as to avoid the welding wire from falling along the copper pipe after being wound. In addition, the welding assembly is arranged at the welding area 8 and is used for brazing at the connecting position of the second copper pipe 11 and the first copper pipe 10. During welding, the welding wire is melted and is absorbed into and fills the gap between the second copper pipe 11 and the first copper pipe 10 by capillary action. After condensation, the liquid brazing material and the workpiece metal are mutually diffused and dissolved, and the copper pipe welding is completed.
[0042] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the wire winding assembly comprises a wire outlet gun sleeve 16. The wire outlet gun sleeve 16 is arranged in the wire winding area 7, and the wire outlet end of the wire outlet gun sleeve 16 is close to the connecting position of the second copper pipe 11 and the first copper pipe 10, so as to form a wire outlet fixing point. Preferably, the wire outlet gun sleeve 16 can move along the axial direction of the wire outlet gun sleeve 16, so as to provide space for the subsequent rotation of the clamping jaw 44. In addition, a cutter can be arranged at the wire outlet end of the wire outlet gun sleeve 16, so as to cut the welding wire when the wire outlet gun sleeve 16 provides space.
[0043] The wire winding assembly further comprises a first notch ring 18 and an extension rod 43. The first notch ring 18 is arranged in the wire winding area 7, and the minimum distance corresponding to the notch of the first notch ring 18 is greater than the maximum pipe diameter clamped by the clamping piece. In addition, the first notch ring 18 can slide along the axial direction of the second copper pipe 11. The inner side of the first notch ring 18 is slidably connected with a sliding notch ring 42. The curvature of the sliding notch ring 42 is greater than the curvature corresponding to the notch of the first notch ring 18, so as to ensure the stability of the sliding notch ring 42 when the sliding notch ring 42 slides in the first notch ring 18. In addition, the extension rod 43 is fixed to the sliding notch ring 42, and the extension end of the extension rod 43 is provided with a clamping jaw 44. The clamping jaw 44 is used for clamping the welding wire. A transmission assembly is arranged on the first notch ring 18. The transmission assembly is used for driving the sliding notch ring 42 to rotate, so that the clamping jaw 44 clamps one end of the welding wire and rotates one circle along the connecting position of the first copper pipe 10 and the second copper pipe 11.
[0044] As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown in the drawings, the transmission assembly provided by the embodiment comprises connecting shafts 48, incomplete toothed rings 50, pinions 49 and synchronous transmission members. The connecting shafts 48 are symmetrically installed on the first gap ring 18, and the corresponding arc angle of the two connecting shafts 48 and the center of the first gap ring 18 is greater than the corresponding arc angle of the gap on the sliding gap ring 42. The incomplete toothed ring 50 is fixed to the bottom of the sliding gap ring 42 and has the same arc angle as the sliding gap ring 42. The pinion 49 is fixed to the connecting shaft 48 and meshes with the incomplete toothed ring 50. The synchronous transmission member is arranged on the first gap ring 18 and is used to drive the two pinions 49 to synchronously rotate in the same direction. Preferably, the synchronous transmission member is composed of the second motor 46, synchronous wheels 45 and a synchronous belt 47. The synchronous wheel 45 is composed of two synchronous wheels, which are respectively fixed to the connecting shaft 48 and have synchronous teeth on the surface. The synchronous belt 47 is arranged between the two synchronous wheels 45, and the inner side of the synchronous belt 47 is provided with a synchronous groove. The second motor 46 is used to drive one of the connecting shafts 48 to rotate.
[0045] Specifically in use, the two pinions 49 are driven to synchronously rotate in the same direction by the synchronous transmission member, and then the incomplete toothed ring 50 is driven to rotate. Since the corresponding arc angle of the two connecting shafts 48 and the center of the first gap ring 18 is greater than the corresponding arc angle of the gap on the sliding gap ring 42 (i.e. the central angle of the toothless part on the incomplete toothed ring 50), the incomplete toothed ring 50 can be continuously rotated, and the sliding gap ring 42 can be further driven to rotate one circle.
[0046] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 , the welding assembly provided by the embodiment comprises a second gap ring 19 and a brazing heater 20. The second gap ring 19 is arranged in the welding area 8 and can slide along the second copper pipe 11 in the axial direction. The minimum distance corresponding to the gap of the second gap ring 19 is greater than the maximum pipe diameter clamped by the clamping member. The brazing heater 20 is arranged on the inner side of the second gap ring 19 and is used to heat and melt the brazing material. It should be noted that, in order to avoid the collision between the first copper pipe 10 and the second copper pipe 11 when entering or leaving the inside of the first gap ring 18 or the second gap ring 19, the gap of the first gap ring 18 and the second gap ring 19 is preferably set to be larger to improve the fault tolerance and avoid the collision. In addition, the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 3 is provided with a positioning seat at the position corresponding to the first gap ring 18 and the second gap ring 19. Preferably, the positioning seat is a contact switch. When the first gap ring 18 and the second gap ring 19 contact the contact switch, the contact switch triggers the wire gun sleeve 16 to supply the wire, and when the second gap ring 19 contacts the contact switch, the contact switch triggers the brazing heater 20 to work. It should be noted that, when the first gap ring 18 and the second gap ring 19 contact the positioning seat, the centers of the first gap ring 18 and the second gap ring 19 are on the straight line where the centers of the corresponding copper pipes are located.
[0047] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 , Figure 4 ,Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, to achieve height adjustment of the wire winding assembly and the welding assembly, the copper tube welding equipment for the refrigeration cabinet compressor provided in this embodiment also includes a top plate 17. The top plate 17 is installed at the wire winding area 7 and the welding area 8, and is equipped with a lifting assembly for driving the first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19 to move axially along the second copper tube 11. The lifting assembly includes a lead screw 31 rotatably mounted on the top plate 17 and a guide rod 32 fixed at both ends of the lower surface of the top plate 17. The guide rod 32 is slidably connected to the corresponding first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19, and the lead screw 31 is threadedly connected to the corresponding first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19. The threaded connection allows the first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19 to slide along the guide rod 32, thereby achieving height adjustment of the first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19, so that the wire winding assembly and the welding assembly correspond to the connection point of the first copper tube 10 and the second copper tube 11.
[0048] To facilitate the placement of the wire winding assembly and welding assembly, allowing the copper tube to smoothly enter the next stage, the copper tube welding equipment for the refrigeration cabinet compressor provided in this embodiment also includes a moving block 28, a return spring 21, and a boss 22. The moving block 28 is fixed to the lower end of the top plate 17 and fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rod 32. It can slide on the surface of the worktable 2, and its end away from the top plate 17 is semi-circular. The return spring 21 is installed on the top plate 17 and the moving block 28 to drive the top plate 17 and the moving block 28 to move towards the rotating sleeve 4. There are four bosses 22, which are fixed at equal intervals on the outside of the rotating sleeve 4 and distributed around the circumference of the rotating sleeve 4. A groove 27 is formed between two adjacent rotating sleeves 4. The groove 27 slides with the moving block 28 to allow the moving block 28 to slide. 8. Slide towards or away from the rotating sleeve 4 to allow the first notched ring 18 and the second notched ring 19 to accommodate or disengage from the connection between the first copper tube 10 and the second copper tube 11. It should be noted that the length of one side of the groove 27 facing the rotation direction of the boss 22 is less than the length of its other side, so that the moving block 28 can quickly approach the rotating sleeve 4 during wire winding or welding, accelerating the accommodation of the first notched ring 18 and the second notched ring 19 at the connection between the first copper tube 10 and the second copper tube 11, and slowing down the speed at which the first notched ring 18 and the second notched ring 19 disengage from the connection between the first copper tube 10 and the second copper tube 11. The advantage of this design is that the first copper tube 10 and the second copper tube 11 can enter the interior of the first notched ring 18 or the second notched ring 19 more quickly and accurately.
[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in order to achieve coaxial fixation of the first copper pipe 10 and the second copper pipe 11, the clamping piece provided in the embodiment includes an inner sleeve 13 fixed to the outer side of the rotating sleeve 4 and the other end of the connecting arm 29, the centers of the two inner sleeves 13 are on the same vertical line, the side wall of the inner sleeve 13 is provided with a through slot 40, a crank 39 is rotatably installed in the through slot 40, one end of the crank 39 extends into the inner sleeve 13 and is provided with a clamping column 38, an outer sleeve 12 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the inner sleeve 13, the inner wall of the outer sleeve 12 is hinged to the other end of the crank 39, and the outer side of the outer sleeve 12 is provided with a first rack 14, it should be noted that the outer sleeve 12 is provided with a notch for the connection of the inner sleeve 13 and the rotating sleeve 4 or the connecting arm 29, and the corresponding radian angle of the notch needs to meet the maximum rotation angle of the outer sleeve 12, a clock spring 41 is installed at the gap between the outer sleeve 12 and the inner sleeve 13, the clock spring 41 is used to drive the rotation of the outer sleeve 12, so that the clamping columns 38 are close to each other to clamp the copper pipe.
[0050] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 12 As shown, in order to achieve the release of the clamping of the copper pipe in the clamping piece, the refrigeration cabinet compressor copper pipe welding equipment provided in the embodiment further includes a second rack 23 and a third rack 24, the second rack 23 is arranged in the feeding area 6 and the wire winding area 7, when the clamping piece for fixing the second copper pipe 11 moves to the second rack 23, the second rack 23 is engaged with the first rack 14 to drive the rotation of the outer sleeve 12, so that the clamping columns 38 are away from each other, the third rack 24 is arranged in the feeding area 6 and the wire winding area 7, when the clamping piece for the first copper pipe 10 moves to the third rack 24, the third rack 24 is engaged with the first rack 14 to drive the rotation of the outer sleeve 12, so that the clamping columns 38 are away from each other.
