Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a flexible heat exchanger pasting device. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 5 As shown, the flexible heat exchanger is mainly composed of multiple parallel pipes with an outer diameter of less than 4mm and sealed connections with the headers on both sides. In order to increase the heat exchange area, a metal film can be applied to the parallel pipes. The metal film forms a stable and uniform temperature field between two adjacent pipes, which can change the flexible heat exchanger from line heat exchange to surface heat exchange, thereby increasing the heat exchange area. Since the outer diameter of the pipe used is relatively small and the thickness of the film is relatively small, the heat exchanger is very flexible and can be rolled into a round structure, which is convenient for packaging, storage and transportation of the flexible heat exchanger. Since the pipe diameter of the flexible heat exchanger is relatively small, it is very flexible and easy to bend, so it is difficult to construct it during the bonding process with the metal film.

[0013] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0014] A flexible heat exchanger application device of the present application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a flat plate 1, a first guide 2, a pipe fixing frame 3 and a second guide 4. Correspondingly, it can be set into three stations, namely, a preparation station I, an application station II and a flip station III. The flat plate 1 is arranged above the first guide 2, and the pipe fixing frame 3 is arranged above the flat plate 1 and the two can move relative to each other, and the pipe fixing frame 3 can move along the second guide 4. The moving mode of the present application can be a slide rail, or other moving modes such as chain motion or belt motion.

[0015] The pipe fixing frame 3 includes two combs 31 corresponding to the pipe spacing of the flexible heat exchanger. The flat plate 1 is lower than the pipe fixing frame 3 and its width is slightly smaller than the spacing between the two combs 31 on the pipe fixing frame 3, so that the flat plate 1 can be moved to the bottom of the pipe fixing frame 3 on the first guide 2. The combs 31 are installed on the guide column 32 and the spacing between the two combs 31 can be adjusted. The two ends of the guide column 32 are provided with end plates 33, so that the pipe fixing frame 3 forms a whole. The pulley 34 matched with the second guide 4 can be installed on the end plate 33, so that the pipe fixing frame 3 can be turned over at the turning station. The comb 31 is arranged with a card slot corresponding to the pipe spacing of the flexible heat exchanger, and the card slot has a guide mechanism for pipe arrangement and installation. When the spacing between the combs 31 meets the product requirements of the flexible heat exchanger, the comb 31 and the guide column 32 can be fastened at the matching position to maintain the size between the combs 31.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the clamping and fixing of the pipeline and the slot, as Figure 3As shown, a pier structure 36 can be formed on the pipeline. Considering that the pipeline is relatively flexible, it will form a hanging between the combs 31. Further, a tensioning mechanism 35 can be installed at the end plate 33 and the comb 31 to keep the pipeline in a straight state, which is convenient for the metal film to adhere to it. Figure 4 At the same time, considering that the pipeline will be easily dropped out of the card slot when it is flipped 180 degrees at the flipping station, a limit card can be used to fix the comb 31 to prevent the pipeline from falling out of the pipeline fixing frame when flipping.

[0017] At the preparation station I, a metal film slightly smaller than the flat plate 1 and meeting the size of the flexible heat exchanger can be laid on the flat plate 1. For the purpose of bonding the metal film to the pipeline, the adhesive on the metal film should face upwards, so that when the flat plate 1 slides under the pipeline fixing frame 3, the flat plate 1 can be lifted and bonded to the pipeline by means of the lifting mechanism. The length of the first guide should be able to ensure that the flat plate can move back and forth between the preparation station and the application station, and the overall length should be slightly larger than the width of the flexible heat exchanger, and the length should not affect the flipping of the pipeline fixing frame 3 at the flipping station.

[0018] At the application station, when the flat plate 1 moves to the bottom of the pipeline fixing frame on the first guide 2, the flat plate 1 bonds the metal film adhered to the flat plate 1 to the pipeline through the lifting mechanism. When the lifting mechanism descends, the metal film is separated from the flat plate 1 and adhered to the pipeline. At this time, the flat plate 1 moves to the preparation station on the first guide 2, and prepares the metal film again at the preparation station with the adhesive back of the metal film facing upward. The pipeline fixing frame 3 with the pipeline and the metal film can move on the second guide to the flipping station to achieve flipping. At this time, the metal film changes from being located below the pipeline at the application station to being located above the pipeline. Then the pipeline fixing frame 3 moves back on the second guide to the application station. At this time, the flat plate 1 with the metal film moves at the first guide, moves to the application station, and is located below the pipeline fixing frame 3. The metal film adhered to the flat plate 1 is bonded to the pipeline through the lifting mechanism, and at the same time, it is bonded to the metal film that has been bonded, so that the pipeline is sandwiched between two layers of metal films. At this time, the limit card on the comb can be loosened, and when the lifting mechanism descends, the component formed by the metal film and the pipeline falls on the plate 1. The component slides to the preparation station with the plate 1, and the component can be unloaded as a whole to prepare for the next production.

[0019] More specifically, if Figure 6As shown, a pasting part 11 is installed at both ends of the flat plate 1. When laying the metal film 10, the metal film 10 can be reversely pasted on the pasting part at one end, and the metal film 10 is laid along the flat plate 1 to the pasting part at the other end, and then reversely pasted on the pasting part. In order to improve the laying efficiency of the metal film 10, after the metal film 10 is positioned on the flat plate, the pasting part 11 is horizontally displaced for a short distance through the driving member 13, so that one end of the metal film 10 is spaced from the flat plate 1 for a distance, so that the metal film 10 is pasted to the pipeline and then cut to the required size. A slide knife 12 is arranged on the flat plate 1, and the slide knife 12 can further be extended to meet the cutting of the metal film 10 in different processing steps. That is, when there is a cutting demand, the slide knife 12 extends to achieve cutting; when there is no need to cut, the slide knife retracts. When the flat plate 1 moves from the pasting station to the preparation station, since the metal film 10 is fixed on the pipeline at this time, the slide knife 12 cuts the metal film 10 at the gap between the pasting part 11 and the flat plate 1. Similarly, a slide knife 12 is installed on the pipe fixing frame, and after the heat exchanger component is turned over and the metal film 10 on the other side is pasted, the other layer of the metal film 10 is also cut off as the flat plate 1 moves out of the pasting station.

[0020] In order to facilitate the gluing of the metal film 10, a third guide 14 and a fourth guide 15 may be provided. The third guide 14 is provided on the first guide 2. The plate 1 may move on the third guide 14 and the fourth guide 15. The third guide 14 may move on the first guide 2. Figure 7 As shown. The fourth guide 15 further forms a metal film pasting station IV, and a positioning block 16 can be set on the fourth guide 15 to control the distance that the flat plate 1 moves on the third guide 14. The fourth guide 15 is fixedly connected to the gantry 17, and there is a reel 18 on the gantry 17. The reel 18 can be used to place the cylindrical metal film 10. When one end of the metal film 10 is connected to the pasting part 11, as the flat plate 1 gradually moves from the A end of the third guide to the G end, the metal film also synchronously outputs the length of the flat plate 1 until the flat plate 1 touches the positioning block 16, and the metal film of the required length is laid on the flat plate 1, and the metal film is pasted on the other pasting part, and the metal film can be cut at this time. The flat plate 1 then moves from the G end to the A end until the flat plate 1 is completely moved to the preparation station I.

[0021] On the basis of the above, through mechatronic design, the automation of movement, motion and flipping of each workstation and component can be realized; at the same time, the flipping station can also clamp the entire pipe fixing frame 3 and flip it above the application station instead of flipping it in the horizontal direction of the application station. Such special cases or improvements are regarded as the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Although the implementation methods disclosed in this application are as above, the contents described are only implementation methods adopted for facilitating the understanding of this application, and are not intended to limit this application. Any technician in the technical field to which this application belongs can make any modifications and changes in the form and details of implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in this application, but the scope of patent protection of this application shall still be based on the scope defined in the attached claims.
