Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat sink production equipment, in particular to a fin control device for a buffer zone of a fin machine. Background Art
[0002] Fins are metal components with fan-shaped cross-sections, often used in radiators or coolers to increase surface area and achieve better heat transfer. Fin machines are special mechanical equipment used to manufacture fins for radiators or coolers. Fin machines can be used to efficiently, accurately and mass-produce fins required for radiators or coolers. This type of machine is widely used in the manufacturing industry, especially in areas such as automobiles, air conditioners, electronic equipment and industrial fields that require heat dissipation or cooling.
[0003] In the automotive heat exchange system, fin equipment plays an indispensable role. When the fin machine is running, the stability of the fins in the buffer zone is particularly important. If the length of the fins in the buffer zone is too short, it may cause the fin length to be insufficient, thus affecting the normal operation of the system. On the contrary, if the fin length is too long, it may cause the fins in the buffer zone to accumulate, thus triggering a blockage alarm.
[0004] CN204872779U provides a fin conveying device, comprising a conveying mechanism for conveying fins, a detection mechanism arranged above the conveying mechanism for detecting whether the length of the fins is qualified, and a discharge mechanism arranged on the discharge side of the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism for discharging the delivered fins into a good product area or a defective product area; wherein the discharge mechanism at least comprises a movable discharge part, a driving part for driving the discharge part to move up and down within a preset range, and the driving part is electrically connected to the detection mechanism, and when the detection mechanism detects that the length of the fin is qualified, the detection mechanism sends a signal to the driving part to drive the discharge part to move upward, and when the detection mechanism detects that the length of the fin is unqualified, the detection mechanism sends a signal to the driving part to drive the discharge part to move downward.
[0005] The existing fin buffer generally adopts a lower buffer structure, and detects the fins through two sensors. Among them, one sensor is installed in the upper middle position of the buffer, and the other is installed at the bottom of the buffer. Since the signals of the two sensors need to be detected at the same time, and the signals need to be judged and processed, the calculation amount and complexity of the PLC increase, and the response speed may be slow. In addition, if the lower buffer structure is adopted, if there are too many fins piled up in front of the buffer, it may affect the detection and transportation of the rear fins, and it is necessary to stop the machine for re-debugging, resulting in time cost loss.

[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a fin control device for a fin machine buffer zone includes a base 3, a plurality of parallel fin channel baffles 4 are arranged above the base 3, the base 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the fin machine body, a sensor control module 1 is arranged on the base 3, the sensor control module 1 is connected to an analog sensor, the analog sensor includes a sensor transmitting end 201 and a sensor receiving end 202 respectively installed above the fin channel baffle 4, the sensor control module 1 is connected to a PLC controller, a servo motor 6 is arranged on one side of the base 3, the fin channel baffle 4 is connected to an adjusting device 5, and the adjusting device 5 is connected to the fin channel baffle 4 through a lead screw 7.
[0038] There are four fin channel baffles 4, which are divided into two groups. Two fin channel baffles 4 in each group form a fin channel 8 with the base 3. The base 3 includes two vertical supports and a horizontal platform. The surface of the horizontal platform is provided with a sliding mechanism. The moving mechanism includes two adjustment rails 9 fixed in parallel to the surface of the horizontal platform and eight guide rail sliders 10 slidably connected to the adjustment rails 9. The eight guide rail sliders 10 are symmetrically fixed on the outside of each group of fin channel baffles 4.
[0039] The utility model sets the fin buffer area as the upper buffer. Before processing, the position of the fin channel baffle 4 is adjusted by the adjustment device 5 according to the fin size, so as to adjust the width of the fin channel 8. The power generated by the operation of the fin machine equipment will keep pushing the product forward and send the fin into the fin channel 8. The sensor transmitting end 201 and the sensor receiving end 202 are installed above the fin channel baffle 4. Real-time monitoring can ensure that the fin length inside the fin buffer area remains stable, avoiding problems such as blockage alarm caused by insufficient or excessive fin length. The present embodiment adopts an analog sensor, which can realize high-precision acquisition of the analog signal sent by the sensor, which not only improves the stability of the system, but also reduces production losses caused by blockage problems.

The analog sensor sends the optical signal to sensor control module 1, and sensor control module 1 integrates the analog signal and sends it to the analog input module of PLC. By using analog sensors, high-precision acquisition of analog signals sent by sensors can be achieved. Compared with switch sensors, analog sensors can provide more continuous and accurate signals, thereby improving the detection accuracy and response speed of the system. Calculation programs can be written through the programming port. Through precise calculations, PLC can accurately control the speed of the servo motor behind the buffer. This allows the system to automatically adjust the operating parameters according to the real-time monitored fin length and shape, thereby optimizing the operating efficiency of the system. By automatically adjusting the operating parameters of the system, the technical requirements for operators are reduced. Operators only need to perform simple settings and monitoring to achieve normal operation of the system, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0046] Two fin counting wheels 12 corresponding to the fin channel baffle 4 are provided on the surface of the height adjustment mounting plate 113. The fin counting wheels 12 respectively penetrate the height adjustment mounting plate 113 and the mounting side plate 114, and a synchronous pulley 13 is provided on the side of the mounting side plate 114 close to the fin channel baffle 4.
