Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated mechanical assembly, and in particular to a fin feeder. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of industry, the demand for efficient assembly of various components is increasing, especially in industries such as refrigeration equipment and heat exchange equipment, where the assembly of fins and flat tubes has become a key link in the production process.

[0003] In the traditional assembly process of fins and flat tubes, the feeding and conveying of fins were usually done manually. Workers would place the fins one by one into designated positions, and then use simple tooling fixtures for initial positioning. For the assembly of fins and flat tubes, the common practice was to first fix the flat tubes in a specific mold, and then insert the fins into the gaps between the flat tubes manually or using simple mechanical devices. In addition, some companies use semi-automated feeding equipment, using conveyor belts to transport fins, but manual assistance is still required in the feeding and positioning stages.

[0004] However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks. Manual feeding and assembly are extremely inefficient and prone to inaccurate positioning, resulting in inconsistent product quality. While semi-automated equipment improves efficiency to some extent, it still falls short of meeting the requirements for high-quality production in terms of feeding and positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the equipment has poor versatility and is difficult to adapt to the assembly needs of fins and flat tubes of different specifications. Summary of the Invention

As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to include the plural expressions as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0030] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application discloses a fin feeding machine, which includes a feeding mechanism 10, a conveying mechanism 20, a fin unloading mechanism 30, and an assembly mechanism 40.

[0033] The feeding mechanism 10 is used to convey the fin material 70. The conveying mechanism 20 receives the fin material 70 and continues to convey it. The fin unloading mechanism 30 clamps the fin material 70 and presses it down to the assembly mechanism 40. The assembly mechanism 40 assembles the fin material 70 with the flat tube material 80, achieving the effect of efficiently and accurately completing the assembly of fins and flat tubes. This can improve the problems of low efficiency and inaccurate positioning caused by manual operation.

[0034] See also Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 10 includes a feeding platform 11, a feeding moving assembly 12, and a feeding conveyor assembly 13. The feeding moving assembly 12 includes a conveyor frame 121, rotating parts 122, a conveyor belt 123, and a first driving component 124. The conveyor frame 121 is mounted on the feeding platform 11, is made of metal, and has a certain strength and stability. It can be fixed to the feeding platform 11 by welding or bolting. Multiple rotating parts 122 are arranged side by side on the conveyor frame 121. The rotating parts 122 are cylindrical rollers with smooth surfaces to reduce friction with the conveyor belt 123.

[0035] The conveyor belt 123 is mounted on multiple rotating components 122 and is made of rubber or other flexible materials, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and wear resistance. A first drive component 124 is connected to one end of a rotating component 122 to drive the conveyor belt 123 to rotate. The first drive component 124 uses an electric motor or hydraulic motor as its drive source and is connected to the rotating component 122 via the conveyor belt 123. When the first drive component 124 is activated, it drives the rotating component 122 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 123 to rotate, and the finned material 70 placed on the conveyor belt 123 is conveyed accordingly.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The feeding assembly 13 includes a second support frame 131, a second drive component 132, a first slide rail component 133, a first connecting component 134, a third drive component 135, and a feeding component 136. The second support frame 131 is mounted on the feeding machine platform 11, is made of metal, and possesses certain strength and stability. It can be fixed to the feeding machine platform 11 by welding or bolting. The second drive component 132 is located on both sides of the second support frame 131, and uses cylinders, fixed to the support frame by bolts. Alternatively, an electric push rod can be used as the drive component to achieve more precise control.

[0037] The first slide rail 133 and the second drive component 132 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the second support frame 131. The first slide rail 133 is a linear guide rail, characterized by high precision and low friction. The first connecting component 134 connects to the second drive component 132 and is sleeved on the first slide rail 133. The first connecting component 134 is a metal plate, which is connected to the second drive component 132 and the first slide rail 133 by welding or bolting. Alternatively, it can be an injection-molded plastic part to reduce costs. The third drive component 135 is disposed on the first connecting component 134 and uses a small cylinder to drive the extension and retraction of the feeding component 136. Alternatively, an electromagnetic push rod can be used.

[0038] One end of the feeding component 136 is connected to the telescopic end of the third drive component 135, and the other end, driven by the second drive component 132, feeds the finned material 70 into the through groove 221 of the tray component 22. One side of the feeding component 136 has a baffle design to facilitate the feeding of the finned material 70. When the second drive component 132 is activated, it drives the first connecting component 134 to move along the first slide rail component 133, while the third drive component 135 controls the telescopic movement of the feeding component 136 to feed the finned material 70.

[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 The conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveyor platform 21 and a pallet component 22. The conveyor platform 21 is positioned opposite and parallel to the loading platform 11. The pallet component 22 connects to the loading moving assembly 12, and has a through groove 221 for accommodating the finned material 70. The pallet component 22 is made of plastic or metal with a groove structure. The size of the through groove 221 is designed according to the size of the finned material 70. Alternatively, an adjustable through groove 221 structure can be used to accommodate fins of different specifications. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that a linear module is provided on the side of the conveyor platform 21, and the side of the pallet component 22 is connected to the linear module, which reciprocates to convey the finned material 70.

[0040] See Figure 6 and Figure 7The fin feeding mechanism 30 includes a first moving component 31, a first clamping component 32, and a pushing component 33. The first moving component 31 includes a third support frame 311, a fourth driving component 312, and a fifth driving component 313. The third support frame 311 is mounted on the conveyor platform 21 and is constructed using I-beams or channel steel, providing high load-bearing capacity. The fourth driving component 312 is located on both sides of the third support frame 311 and drives horizontally. It uses a linear motor or cylinder and is bolted to the third support frame 311. Alternatively, a screw and nut transmission mechanism can be used for horizontal drive. The fifth driving component 313 is connected to the fourth driving component 312 and drives vertically. It uses a cylinder or electric push rod, with its extension end connected to the first clamping component 32. Alternatively, a servo motor can be used to drive the screw and nut for precise vertical movement. In this embodiment, the method is not limited; any method that achieves the same function is acceptable.

[0041] See also Figure 8 The first clamping assembly 32 includes a second connector 321, a third connector 322, a first clamping member 323, a sixth driving member 324, a second clamping member 325, and a seventh driving member 326. The second connector 321 is connected to the fifth driving member 313 and is made of metal plate, fixed to the fifth driving member 313 by welding or bolting. The third connector 322 connects to the second connector 321 and has a plate-like structure, used to connect the various components. The first clamping member 323 is connected to the end of the third connector 322 away from the second connector 321. The first clamping member 323 and the second clamping member 325 are arranged opposite each other, and together they clamp the fin material 70.

[0042] The sixth driving component 324 is a cylinder connected to the third connecting component 322, used to drive the movement of the second clamping component 325. The second clamping component 325 is connected to the telescopic end of the sixth driving component 324, and under the drive of the sixth driving component 324, the second clamping component 325 can move toward or away from the first clamping component 323 to adjust the distance between them. The structure of the second clamping component 325 is the same as that of the first clamping component 323. The clamping and releasing of the fin material 70 is achieved through the action of the sixth driving component 324. The seventh driving component 326 is connected to the third connecting component 322, and the telescopic end of the seventh driving component 326 is connected to the second clamping component 325 to drive the second clamping component 325 to rise and fall relative to the conveyor platform 21. The seventh driving component 326 adopts a small cylinder, but a miniature electric push rod can also be used.

[0043] The pushing assembly 33 includes an eighth driving member 331 and a pushing member 332. The eighth driving member 331 is connected to the third connecting member 322, uses a cylinder, and is fixed to the third connecting member 322 by bolts. The pushing member 332 is connected to the telescopic end of the eighth driving member 331 and is located between the first clamping member 323 and the second clamping member 325. The structure of the pushing member 332 is shown in the figure, and it is used to press down the clamped fin material 70. When the first moving assembly 31 drives the first clamping assembly 32 to a designated position, the first clamping assembly 32 clamps the fin material 70, and then the pushing assembly 33 presses down the fin material 70 to make it fall.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 9 The assembly mechanism 40 includes a second moving component 41, a first clamping component 42, and a second clamping component 43. The second moving component 41 includes a second slide rail 411, a receiving plate 412, a ninth driving component 413, a tenth driving component 414, and an eleventh driving component 415. Multiple second slide rails 411 are arranged side-by-side on the conveyor platform 21. The second slide rails 411 are linear guides, characterized by high precision and low friction; alternatively, a combination of sliders and guides can be used. The receiving plate 412 is fitted onto the second slide rail 411 to receive the first clamping component 42 and the second clamping component 43. The receiving plate 412 can cooperate with the second slide rail 411 via a slider, or it can be made of plastic to reduce weight.

[0045] The ninth drive component 413 is fixed on the conveyor platform 21, and its telescopic end is connected to the receiving plate 412. It is used to drive the receiving plate 412 to move along the second slide rail 411. The ninth drive component 413 is a cylinder or an electric push rod, or a screw and nut transmission mechanism can also be used. The tenth drive component 414 and the eleventh drive component 415 are fixed to the two ends of the receiving plate 412. Their telescopic ends are respectively connected to the first clamping assembly 42 and the second clamping assembly 43. They are used to adjust the distance between the second clamping assembly 43 and the first clamping assembly 42. The tenth drive component 414 and the eleventh drive component 415 are small cylinders.

[0046] The first clamping assembly 42 and the second clamping assembly 43 are sleeved opposite each other on the second moving assembly 41. The first clamping assembly 42 and the second clamping assembly 43 are provided with variable-pitch clamping grooves 44 for accommodating both ends of the flat tube material 80, and spacer grooves 45 are formed between multiple flat tube materials 80 accommodated in the variable-pitch clamping grooves 44 to accommodate finned material 70 that has been pressed down and dropped by the finned material feeding mechanism 30. The size of the variable-pitch clamping grooves 44 on the first clamping assembly 42 and the second clamping assembly 43 can be adjusted according to the size of the flat tube material 80. Alternatively, a replaceable clamping groove design can be adopted to accommodate flat tubes of different specifications.

[0047] When the flat tube material 80 is placed in the variable pitch slot 44, the variable pitch slot 44 clamps the flat tube material 80 and forms a suitable gap slot 45 between the flat tube materials 80. Then, the fin feeding mechanism 30 presses down the fin material 70 so that it falls into the gap slot 45, realizing the spaced arrangement of the fin material 70 and the flat tube material 80, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the two.

[0048] See Figure 2 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, a conveying mechanism 50 is also provided, which is used to convey the flat tube material 80 to the variable pitch slot 44 of the first clamping component 42 and the second clamping component 43, and to clamp both ends of the assembled material. The material is moved towards each other by the first clamping component 42 and the second clamping component 43 driven by the tenth driving member 414 and the eleventh driving member 415 respectively, so as to move the assembled material to other positions.

[0049] The conveying mechanism 50 includes a first support frame 51, a drive assembly 52, a second clamping assembly 53, and a second sensor 54. The first support frame 51 is mounted on the end of the conveyor platform 21 away from the material feeding assembly 13, and is constructed of channel steel or I-beams, providing a stable structure. The drive assembly 52 is mounted on the first support frame 51 and employs a combination of a motor and a lead screw and nut transmission mechanism. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the nut to move along the lead screw. Alternatively, a chain drive or belt drive mechanism can be used; this is not a limitation. The second clamping assembly 53 is connected to the drive assembly 52 and is used to clamp the flat tube material 80 or assembled materials as the drive assembly 52 moves. The second clamping assembly 53 uses a claw structure and is opened and closed by a linear module. The second sensor 54 is mounted on the second clamping assembly 53 and is used to sense the clamping action of the second clamping assembly 53. The second sensor 54 is a proximity sensor; when the claws clamp the material, the sensor emits a signal.

[0050] See Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In this embodiment, a material blocking mechanism 60 is also included, which includes a fourth connector 61, a twelfth driving member 62, a blocking member 63, and a first sensing member 64.

[0051] The fourth connecting member 61 is fixed to the third support frame 311. It is made of metal plate and is fixed to the third support frame 311 by welding or bolting. The twelfth driving member 62 is fixed to the fourth connecting member 61. It is a cylinder and is fixed to the connecting member by bolts. Alternatively, an electric push rod can be used. The blocking member 63 is connected to the telescopic end of the twelfth driving member 62 and is used to move up and down with the twelfth driving member 62. The blocking member 63 is made of metal plate, but a rubber plate can also be used to avoid damaging the fins. The first sensing member 64 is connected to the blocking member 63 and is used to sense the position or presence of the fin material 70. The first sensing member 64 is a photoelectric sensor or a proximity sensor. Alternatively, a laser sensor can be used for more precise detection. There are no restrictions on this.

[0052] The material blocking mechanism 60 enables precise positioning and control of the finned material 70. When the first sensing element 64 detects that the finned material 70 has reached the designated position, the twelfth driving element 62 drives the blocking element 63 to descend, preventing the finned material 70 from continuing to move. This achieves precise positioning of the finned material 70, preventing it from shifting or piling up during the conveying process. This improves the accuracy of subsequent material feeding and assembly, thereby further enhancing product quality and production efficiency.

[0053] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The fin feeding machine of this embodiment realizes the feeding, conveying, unloading, assembly with flat tube material 80, and handling of assembled materials through the coordinated work of various mechanisms. The feeding mechanism 10 conveys the fin material 70 and pushes it into the tray 22 of the conveying mechanism 20. The conveying mechanism 20 continues to convey the fin material 70. The fin unloading mechanism 30 clamps the fin material 70 and presses it down into the interval slot 45 of the assembly mechanism 40, completing the interval arrangement and assembly with the flat tube material 80. The handling mechanism 50 enables the equipment to automatically handle the flat tube material 80 or the assembled finished product, further improving the automation level of production, improving production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, the modular design of each mechanism makes the equipment have good versatility and maintainability, and can adapt to the assembly needs of fins and flat tubes of different specifications.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
