DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 A bending glue-free fin, which comprises two adjacent connected bridge pieces, and the connection of the two bridge pieces is a bending area.

[0048] As Figure 1The fin proposed in this embodiment includes three bridge plates, namely the first bridge plate 1, the second bridge plate 2, and the third bridge plate 3.

[0049] The bending area is located on the outside of the bending direction and has an irregular cut 4 and a bending partition cut 5.

[0050] The bridge plate surface has heat insulation slits and through holes. The heat insulation slits are horizontally spaced, and the through holes have two different diameter specifications, each located on a different bridge plate. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The through hole a has a diameter of 5.2 mm and is distributed on the first bridge plate 1 and the second bridge plate 2. The through hole b has a diameter of 7.3 mm and is distributed on the third bridge plate. Different through holes correspond to the installation of different heat pipes.

[0051] There are also heat insulation cuts 6 distributed along the length of the bridge plate.

[0052] The bending area is provided with a self-locking structure on the inner side of the bending direction. The self-locking structure includes a connecting piece provided on at least one bridge piece. The connecting piece is engaged with the adjacent bridge piece to achieve self-locking fixation of the two bridge pieces.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the bending area is located on the inside of the bending direction. The outlines of the two bridge pieces are both arc-shaped structures. When the two bridge pieces are fully bent, the adjacent positions of the two bridge pieces fit together through the arc-shaped structure.

[0054] The connecting piece includes an inner card 21 and an outer card 22 disposed on the arc-shaped structure of one of the bridge pieces. When the two bridge pieces are fully bent, the inner card 21 is pressed against the front edge of the other bridge piece, and the outer card 22 is pressed against the back edge of the other bridge piece.

[0055] The inner card 21 and outer card 22 are positioned on the contour edge of the arc-shaped structure, ensuring that the contact area with the bridge plate is increased while minimizing the width. This minimizes the overlapping area in the width direction, preventing localized widening from causing greater heat transfer issues. Additionally, it ensures connection stability to a certain extent, preventing detachment during use and potential noise generation.

[0056] from Figure 2 As can be seen above, the inner card 21 and the outer card 22 are not integral; that is, they are disconnected in the middle. This improves the stability of the connection between the two structures. If they were made as a single unit, gaps would appear during use due to springback force, resulting in frictional noise. In the production process, the inner card 21 can be bent slightly towards the front side, and the outer card 22 can be bent slightly towards the back side to facilitate proper clamping. After bending, the inner card 21, the outer card 22, and the bridge plate form a mutually supporting structure on both sides, relying on the elasticity of the metal itself to achieve a stable connection.

[0057] The structure of the present embodiment is adopted Figure 4 The connection stability is higher, but there is still an overlapping area. The width of the overlapping area can be avoided as much as possible through the design of the arc-shaped profile of the inner and outer cards. If the width of the overlapping area is too wide, a local small spacing area will be formed between the adjacent fins, and the "thermal short circuit" problem will occur. Especially when the bending area is located at the root of the fin, the heat dissipation effect will be obviously reduced. Therefore, the present embodiment further provides a louver 7 around the bending area, and the louver 7 is arranged along the profile of the arc-shaped structure. The purpose of the louver 7 is to further weaken the structure of the bending area, improve the heat dissipation effect, and optimize the heat flow path.

[0058] Alternatively, the connecting piece is arranged on each of the two adjacent bridge pieces, and the connecting pieces of the adjacent bridge pieces are buckled to each other to realize self-locking fixation of the two bridge pieces.

[0059] As shown in Figure 5 The connecting piece includes a first support piece 23 arranged on one of the bridge pieces and a second support piece 24 arranged on the other bridge piece. When the two bridge pieces are fully bent, the first support piece 23 and the second support piece 24 cross each other to form a grid structure, and the end of the first support piece 23 is buckled on the reverse side of the adjacent bridge piece, and the end of the second support piece 24 is buckled on the front side of the other bridge piece. The design at this position is to stabilize the connection through the cross mutual support of the support pieces, and a grid structure is formed between the support pieces and the bridge pieces, that is, a structure similar to a window, to weaken the thickened structure caused by the overlapping of the support pieces and the bridge pieces.

[0060] As shown in Figure 4 The bending area is provided with a transition plate 51, and the transition plate 51 is located between the two adjacent bridge pieces, and the two bridge pieces can be bent around the transition plate 51.

[0061] The connecting piece includes a first support piece 23 arranged on one of the bridge pieces, a second support piece 24 arranged on the other bridge piece, and a third support piece 25 arranged on the transition plate 51. When the two bridge pieces are fully bent, the first support piece 23, the second support piece 24, and the third support piece 25 are buckled to each other to form a grid structure. Specifically, the first support piece 23 is buckled above the second support piece 24, the second support piece 24 is buckled on the third support piece 25, and the third support piece 25 is buckled on the first support piece 23.

[0062] The difference between this design and the structure of Figure 4 The overlapping of the support piece and the bridge piece body is cancelled, the mutual support structure is formed by the three support pieces to complete the connection, and the grid structure is formed to weaken the overlapping between the support pieces.

[0063] Figure 5 and Figure 4The structure of this type of structure differs significantly from planar structures in terms of heat transfer because the overlapping areas form a weakened mesh structure, and these overlapping areas are differentiated, with each part having a relatively small area. However, due to the sheet-like support structure, vibrations may occur under high wind speeds, resulting in noise. Therefore, in... Figure 5 and Figure 4 In terms of design, this embodiment has rotor protrusions 71 raised towards the front of the bridge piece around it. The rotor protrusions 71 are arranged in two sets that are interlaced with each other, and each set of rotor protrusions 71 is distributed in a ring array along the bending area.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 18 As shown, the rotor protrusion 71 is similar to a swirl-cutting structure. When the wind flow passes through this area, it will be guided into an external swirling flow, which will not directly impact the support plate. In addition, it can accelerate the flow field here to improve heat dissipation in the overlapping area.

[0065] The rotor protrusion 71 can be manufactured by stamping.

[0066] This embodiment also makes the following improvements to the fin manufacturing process:

[0067] Reference Figure 19 as well as Figures 6-9 As shown, this embodiment uses a progressive die to produce the fin. The overall process includes a multi-step drawing station, a punching and one-time flanging station, a thinning station, a bridge plate + louver / rotor protrusion station, a heat insulation cutting station, an irregular shape cutting station, a guiding station, a feeding station, and a bending partition + cross-cutting station.

[0068] Compared to traditional production processes, this embodiment has made improvements in the following three areas.

[0069] Because the fins in this embodiment have two aperture sizes, φ7.3mm and φ5.2mm, and the spacing between the apertures differs for each size—smaller for φ5.2mm and larger for φ7.3mm—the φ7.3mm apertures are more prone to entanglement wrinkles. A normal solution would be to use pre-packing bosses, but since this fin is a flat sheet forming a bridge-like structure, adding pre-packing bosses before forming the bridge would affect the fin's aesthetics. Therefore, this embodiment employs a 0.3mm deep anti-entanglement wrinkle recess in the upper die to reduce the effective area of ​​the drawing and packing pressure ring. Simultaneously, a pre-compression spring force is added to the lower die. These measures effectively solve the entanglement wrinkle problem. Furthermore, the difference in aperture size leads to a difference in the starting height. Therefore, the height of the φ7.3mm drawing punch is designed to be adjustable to adapt to the drawing height of both aperture sizes.

[0070] For specific mold structure referenceFigure 8 As shown in the figure. Including the extension of the upper die plate 100, the bottom of the extension of the upper die plate 100 is installed with the upper pad plate 101, the bottom of the upper pad plate 101 is installed with the concave die plate 102, the stripper plate 103 and the pressing plate 104, the extension of the upper die plate 100 is also installed with the upper pressing spring 107 and the upper pressing rod 108.

[0071] Also includes the extension of the lower die plate 106, the extension of the lower die plate 106 is installed with the convex die fixed plate 105 and the extension of the convex die 109. The extension of the lower die plate 106 is also installed with two pre-pressing springs 111, and the top of the pre-pressing spring 111 is connected with the spring pressing block 110.

[0072] Referring to Figure 9 And Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the traditional structure of the blank holder 114 is as shown in the figure Figure 9 The size is too large, the longitudinal and transverse size is about 14mm, and the oblique size is about 4.4. Referring to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a pit 115 is added at the position of the original blank holder 114, which can be regarded as partially hollowing out the blank holder 114 upward to reduce the area of the blank holder to improve the problem of pulling wrinkles. In addition, the pre-pressing spring 111 is used to provide pre-tightening force to avoid displacement of the plate.

[0073] In addition, referring to Figure 10 As shown in the figure, it includes an adjusting screw 116 arranged on the extension of the lower die plate 106, the adjusting screw 116 is arranged transversely, one end of the adjusting screw 116 is connected with the lower wedge block 113, the upper part of the lower wedge block 113 is connected with the upper wedge block 112 through the inclined surface sliding connection, and the upper part of the upper wedge block 112 is connected with the convex die fixed plate 105. The lower wedge block 113 is pushed to slide by the feeding of the adjusting screw 116, so as to drive the upper wedge block 112 to rise and fall by the inclined surface, so as to realize the height adjustment.

[0074] The second improvement: because the fin heat insulation cut distribution is dense and the spacing is narrow, if designed according to the original longitudinal cutting structure, it needs to be designed with multiple positions to realize it, so that the total length of the mold will be lengthened, which affects the stability of the overall operation of the mold, and also increases the equipment cost; use the innovative heat insulation cutting structure to realize all the heat insulation cutting in one station, the total length of the mold is shortened, and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0075] Referring to Figure 10 As shown in the figure, Figures 11-13 It is a traditional longitudinal cutting mechanism, which is one of the longitudinal cutting units, staggered with multiple stations, and multiple longitudinal cutting is completed to complete all the longitudinal cutting processes.

[0076] The structure of this embodiment is shown in the figure Figure 13 As shown in the figure, first look at Figure 13 , Figure 10As can be seen, the longitudinal cutting station of the present application integrates all the heat insulation cutting in one station, which can be cut out at one time.

[0077] The specific structure includes a longitudinal cutting upper die plate 200, a longitudinal cutting upper gasket 201, an upper sub-die plate 202, and a longitudinal cutting upper gasket 203, and the upper knife fixing plate 204 is installed on the longitudinal cutting upper gasket 203. It also includes a heat insulation cutting upper knife 208, which is directly embedded and installed in the upper sub-die plate 202 through vertical bolts, and the position of the knife head is fixed by the upper knife fixing plate 204.

[0078] The lower die includes a longitudinal cutting lower die plate 207, a lower sub-die plate 206, a longitudinal cutting unloading plate 205, a lower gasket 213, and a lower knife fixing plate 212. It also includes a heat insulation cutting lower knife 211, which is also directly embedded and installed in the lower sub-die plate 206 through vertical bolts, and the position is fixed by the lower knife fixing plate 212.

[0079] In addition, the lower die also includes a pressing strip 209 and a side pressing plate 210.

[0080] The upper and lower knife mounting structure of the present embodiment is also different from the traditional structure. Referring to Figures 14 to 17 As shown in the figure, the upper knife 21 and the lower knife 22 in the traditional structure are installed in the form of upper and lower knife seats. As can be seen from the figure, the upper and lower knife seats are fixed on the upper and lower dies through lateral bolts. This structure will cause the lateral space to be too large. It is impossible to realize all the heat insulation cutting in one station as proposed in the present embodiment. The present application uses vertical bolts to directly embed the knife in the upper and lower dies, and the side basically does not occupy space, so all the longitudinal cutting knives can be integrated in one station.

[0081] Finally, the fin distribution of the present embodiment has two bending partitions. If the bending partition is formed before the feeding station, it will reduce the strength of the fin and cause unstable feeding. At the same time, increasing the forming station will cause the total length of the mold to be lengthened, increasing the equipment cost. Therefore, the bending partition and the cross-cutting are integrally formed in the present embodiment, the cross-cutting station is after the feeding station, and the bending partition is formed after the feeding station, which avoids the problem of unstable feeding. At the same time, the forming station is reduced, the total length of the mold is effectively controlled, the stability of the mold operation is improved, and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0082] The specific mold structure is shown in Figure 14 The upper die includes a punch 300, a sliding block 311, a striking block 301, and a cylinder 302. The punch 300, the striking block 301, the sliding block 311, and the cylinder 302 in the traditional structure are designed for empty steps. In the continuous processing of the present embodiment, two steps are arranged in one station, so there is no need for empty steps, but empty steps are needed in the first processing, so the structure is retained. Its function and principle are the same as the traditional structure, so it will not be described again.

[0083] It also includes a cross-cutting upper template 303, a cross-cutting upper blade 304, and a bending partition upper blade 309. The cross-cutting upper blade 304 is installed via a cross-cutting upper blade positioning block 308. The bending partition upper blade 309 is installed via a fixing block.

[0084] The lower mold includes a cross-cutting lower template 307, a cross-cutting lower sub-template 306, a cross-cutting lower blade 305, and a bending and partitioning lower blade 310.

[0085] Combination Figure 17 as well as ​ As shown, two sets of cutting tools are arranged in the same upper and lower molds to achieve one-step forming of two cuts.

[0086] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
