Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forming and processing fins in a plate-fin heat exchanger, in particular to a hot stamping and forging fin machine. Background Art
[0002] Plate-fin heat exchanger is a heat exchanger with high heat transfer efficiency, small size and light weight. At present, plate-fin heat exchanger is widely used in various oil, water and gas heating and / or cooling in engineering machinery, general machinery, internal combustion locomotive and other departments. For example: aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger is widely used in heat exchangers of air separation equipment; ethylene unit, synthetic ammonia unit, natural gas liquefaction (LNG) and separation unit in petrochemical industry; used in cryogenic hydrogen, helium, refrigeration and liquefaction equipment; used in refrigeration and air conditioning fields; used in automobile and aviation industries.
[0003] In the aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger structure, the fin is the heat exchange element, and the conventional punched fin shape is as shown in the attached Fig.10 As shown in the figure, in the aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger structure, the fin material is generally made of aluminum-magnesium alloy foil, and currently the fin punching machine is generally used for punching. The traditional punching machine structure and components are shown in the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 Specifically, it includes a frame body 1, an upper casing 2, an upper slide 3, an upper die connecting rod 4, a shaping table 5, a feed rocker 6, a lower slide 7, a rocker arm 8, an electric control box 9, a spindle box 10, a cam device 11, a gearbox 12, a motor 13, an oil pump device 14, a clutch 15, a lubricating oil distributor 16, a horizontal slide 19 and other components. The motor 13 outputs power, which is converted and transmitted to the spindle box 10 through the gearbox 12. The spindle box 10 drives the cam device 11 to rotate. The two sets of eccentric cams on the cam device 11 respectively drive the upper slide 3 and the lower slide 7 to move up and down through the upper die connecting rod 4, and drive the horizontal slide 19 to move horizontally through the feed rocker 6, so that the aluminum foil is stamped and formed by the stamping dies on the upper slide 3 and the lower slide 7.
[0004] Since conventional punched fins are all cold-worked, they are constrained by the cold plasticity of the material, and the bending radius cannot be too small. For aluminum alloy 3003, its bending radius cannot be less than 0.5t (t is the thickness of the aluminum foil). This limits the fin material duty cycle (fin thickness / pitch) to no more than 50%, which also limits the application pressure (pressure) of the fin to no more than 1 / 4 of its strength limit. In addition, due to the increase in the amount of brazing filler metal, the brazing seam is prone to defects such as slag inclusions and pores, which often causes the broken parts to be pulled apart on the brazing seam. Fig.9A , Fig. 9B and Fig. 9C shown.
[0005] In view of this, how to solve the problem of limiting the application pressure strength of the fins in the existing conventional punching fin technology has become a topic to be studied and solved by the present utility model. Utility Model Content

[0070] The working principle of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0071] First, the fin die 17 has a heat preservation and heating function, the preheating guide 18 heats the aluminum foil, and the front punching and forging heads 174 and 175 cooperate to realize the preliminary forming of a tooth. At this time, the tooth top is in an arc shape. The punching and forging is realized by the cooperation between the punching and forging heads, the anvil stripping plate 176, and the baffle 178. The thickness of the top of the tooth is forged thin, and the initially formed arc-shaped tooth top is forged into a flat top. At the same time, the outer edge arc radius is greatly reduced. The punching and forging fins of the hot punching and forging fin machine of the utility model are shown in FIG. Fig.11 shown.
[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, a heat insulating pad 179 is disposed between the mold body 172 and the base 171 , thereby preventing the heat on the mold body 172 from being transferred to the base 171 .
[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, a heat-insulating cover 1721 is provided on the outer side of the mold body 172 to ensure that the heat of the mold body 172 will not be dissipated so easily, thereby saving energy and reducing consumption.
[0074] In the embodiment of the utility model, the punching head, anvil stripper plate 176 and baffle plate 178 are fixed to the die body 172 by a pressure plate, which is convenient for installation, adjustment, maintenance and subsequent replacement of punching heads, anvil stripper plate 176 and baffle plate 178 of different specifications.
[0075] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, four second electric heating tubes 181 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the preheating guide 18, and each second electric heating tube 181 is arranged along the horizontal forward direction of the aluminum foil, so that the aluminum foil can be fully preheated in the preheating guide 18, so that the material plasticity of the aluminum foil is improved, and the aluminum foil sent to the initial forming forging position and the post-forging forming forging position by the preheating guide 18 can be well hot stamped.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Fig. 7A , Figure 7B As shown, a spring assembly 1761 for stripping is connected to the bottom of the anvil stripping plate 176, and the stripping assembly cooperates with the anvil stripping plate 176 to strip the hot-stamped aluminum foil. When the anvil stripping plate 176 is in the front position, the spring pushes the stripping, and when the anvil stripping plate 176 is in the rear position, the spring is compressed and there is no stripping action.
[0077] Through the implementation of the embodiments of the utility model, in order to solve the problem that conventional stamping fins adopt cold working process and are subject to cold plastic constraints of materials, resulting in low application pressure of plate-fin heat exchangers, a hot stamping forging fin machine that can adopt hot forming process to improve material plasticity is designed. The hot stamping forging fin machine is mainly used for high-pressure (material duty cycle ≥ 50%) fin manufacturing, and can forge the top thickness to be thin, and forge the initially formed arc-shaped tooth top into a flat top. At the same time, the outer edge arc radius is greatly reduced, which is convenient for brazing, reduces stress concentration, reduces the amount of brazing material required, reduces / avoids the generation of bubbles in the brazing material, and stabilizes the brazing quality, thereby manufacturing fins with a high duty cycle, thereby being able to provide corresponding technical support for the plate-fin heat exchanger to withstand high pressure.
