DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 2-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0027] The present application discloses a device for shrinking the end of an evaporating coil, referring to Figure 2-7 , including a box body, a clamping mechanism and a shrinking mechanism arranged in the box body, a feed hole 121 is opened on the side wall of the box body, the box body includes a bottom plate 11 and a top cover 12 fixed on the bottom plate 11, the feed hole 121 is opened on the top cover 12, the clamping mechanism is arranged beside the feed hole 121 and is used to clamp the evaporating coil, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder 2 and a clamping block 3, the clamping block 3 is fixed on the box body and arranged beside the feed hole 121, the clamping cylinder 2 is also fixed on the box body, and a pressing block 21 corresponding to the clamping block 3 is fixed on the end of the output rod of the clamping cylinder 2, and the surfaces of the clamping block 3 and the pressing block 21 are both provided with notches, which are adapted to the coil;

[0028] The necking mechanism includes a necking component 4, a motor 5 and a pneumatic rotary joint 6. The necking component 4 is rotatably mounted in the box, one end of the pneumatic rotary joint 6 is fixed in the box, and the necking component 4, the pneumatic rotary joint 6 and the feed hole 121 are coaxially arranged. The motor 5 is fixed in the box and is used to drive the necking component 4 to rotate.

[0029] The shrinking assembly 4 includes a cylinder 41 rotatably connected in the housing, one end of the cylinder 41 is fixed to the pneumatic rotary joint 6, a piston chamber 411 and a transmission chamber 412 are arranged in the cylinder 41, a plurality of guide grooves 42 are evenly arranged in an annular shape at the end of the transmission chamber 412, a slider 43 is slidably connected in the guide groove 42, a side of the slider 43 away from the transmission chamber 412 is detachably and rotatably connected to an extrusion roller 44, the extrusion roller 44 includes a horizontal section 441 and a frustum section 442, one end of the large circle of the frustum section 442 is fixed to the horizontal section 441, and the diameter of the large circle of the frustum section 442 is the same as the diameter of the horizontal section 441, and the connection between the frustum section 442 and the horizontal section 441 is a smooth transition, a piston 45 is movably connected in the piston chamber 411, a transmission rod 46 connected to the transmission chamber 412 is fixed on one side of the piston 45, a plurality of connecting rods 47 are hinged on the transmission rod 46, and one end of the connecting rod 47 is hinged to the slider 43;

[0030] When the gas pushes the piston 45 to move toward the side away from the transmission chamber 412, the piston 45 pulls the transmission rod 46. The end of the transmission rod 46 controls the axial movement of the connecting rod 47. The other end of the connecting rod 47 is converted into radial movement of the slider 43, which can make the slider 43 move toward the middle. Conversely, when the gas pushes the piston 45 to move toward one side of the transmission chamber 412, the slider 43 can spread outward.

[0034] The implementation principle of the evaporator coil end necking device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0035] The staff inserts one end of the coil along the feed hole 121, and the single-chip controller controls the clamping cylinder to work. The clamping cylinder drives the pressure block 21 to clamp the coil on the clamping block 3. After that, the cylinder control valve controls the gas to enter the piston chamber 411 and pushes the piston 45 to move to the side away from the transmission chamber 412. The piston 45 pulls the transmission rod 46, and the end of the transmission rod 46 controls the axial movement of the connecting rod 47. The other end of the connecting rod 47 is converted into radial movement of the slider 43 (the principle is similar to that of a chuck). During this process, the squeezing roller 44 on the slider 43 gradually approaches the coil and rotates around the coil. The horizontal section 441 and the conical section 442 of the squeezing roller 44 are pressed on the coil to complete the shrinking action.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle and application direction of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
