[0037] The specific implementation of the utility model application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0038] In the technical solution disclosed in the utility model application, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "upper, lower, left, right", are generally defined based on the drawing direction of the corresponding drawings, and "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same mark in different drawings represents the same element.

[0039] According to the utility model application, a radiator side panel assembly tool is disclosed, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, it includes: a base plate 2, and also includes:

[0040] The core positioning part 6 is installed on the bottom plate 2 and is used to place and position the core 10 of the radiator;

[0041] Two support plates 1 are slidably mounted on the bottom plate 2 on both sides of the core positioning portion 6, and each support plate 1 is provided with a side plate positioning portion 5 for placing and fixing the side plate 9 of the radiator;

[0042] The side plate positioning portion 5 comprises:

[0043] A cushion 501, used for placing the side plate 9;

[0044] The first positioning assembly 502 and the second positioning assembly 503 are both used to fix the side plate 9 .

[0045] In the above technical solution, in order to install the corresponding side panels 9 on both sides of the radiator core 10, the radiator core 10 is first placed on the core positioning portion 6 of the bottom plate 2 of the tooling, and the core positioning portion 6 is used to accurately position the position of the core 10, and then the two side panels 9 are respectively placed on the support plates 1 on both sides of the core 10, and the side panels 9 are fixed by the side panel positioning portions 5. When everything is ready, the operator can push the support plate 1 toward the core 10 to complete the installation of the side panels 9. This process is convenient, fast, and accurate.

[0046] Specifically, the side panel positioning part 5 includes a cushion 501, a first positioning component 502 and a second positioning component 503. The cushion 501 is used to place the side panel 9 so that it is exactly at the same height as the core 10 placed on the core positioning part 6, which is convenient for installation; and the first positioning component 502 and the second positioning component 503 are used to fix the side panel 9 to ensure that the side panel 9 will not deviate from the position during the sliding process and the installation process, and to ensure the accuracy of the threaded fixing position installation of the left and right side panels 9, so as to fully ensure the consistency and stability of the installation of each product.

[0047] While ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the installation of the radiator side panels 9, this tooling also solves the problem that during the assembly process of the radiator side panels 9, due to the heavy side panels 9 of the radiator, the personnel have to spend a lot of energy and physical strength to confirm the threaded fixing positions of the left and right side panels 9 to ensure the accurate installation of the side panels 9. This tooling achieves the technical effects of reducing the labor intensity of the installers, improving product quality, and improving installation efficiency, and ultimately achieves the purpose of improving economic benefits.

[0048] In addition, in the present disclosure, a plurality of through holes for installation are formed on the bottom plate 2 and the support plate 1, and many components involved in various technical solutions of the present disclosure are fixedly connected on the bottom plate 2 or the support plate 1 by installing bolts on the through holes.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the cushion 501 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support plate 1 close to the core positioning portion 6 .

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the first positioning assembly 502 is used to fix the connecting pieces 902 at both ends of the side plate 9, and includes: positioning pieces 502a, the number of which is two, each positioning piece 502a has a circular protrusion on the upper end surface, and the circular protrusion is used to insert into the circular hole of the connecting piece 902. By inserting the circular protrusion into the circular hole of the connecting piece 902 at both ends of the side plate 9, the side plate 9 is fixed. The positioning piece 502a can be selected from ordinary metal blocks, which is not specifically limited here. More preferably, as Figure 3 As shown, the first positioning assembly 502 also includes: an anti-slipping member 502b, which is installed on the support plate 1 and is used to abut against the upper end surface of the circular protrusion. The anti-slipping member 502b is matched at the upper end of the positioning member 502a, abutting against the upper end surface of the circular protrusion, which can prevent the circular protrusion from detaching from the circular hole of the connecting piece 902, further ensuring the stability of the fixed structure. Furthermore, the anti-slipping member 502b is a vertical clamp, and the rubber pressure head of the vertical clamp can be used to press on the upper end surface of the circular protrusion. As a widely used standard part, the vertical clamp has many types to choose from, such as: a vertical quick clamp with model GH-101A, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the second positioning assembly 503 is used to fix the bracket 903 on the side plate 9, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, it includes: a mounting block 503b, mounted on the upper end surface of the support plate 1;

[0052] The horizontal positioning column 503a is provided on the side of the mounting block 503b and is used to be inserted into the circular hole of the bracket 903 on the side plate 9;

[0053] The adjusting knob 503c is disposed on the upper end surface of the mounting block 503b and is used to adjust the horizontal positioning column 503a. The horizontal positioning column 503a is inserted into the circular hole of the bracket 903 (the circular hole is not shown in the drawings of the specification) to achieve the purpose of positioning the side plate 9, and the adjusting knob 503c is used to achieve the extension and retraction of the horizontal positioning column 503a.

[0054] Specifically, the horizontal positioning column 503a, the mounting block 503b, and the adjusting knob 503c can be implemented through the following implementation scheme: the horizontal positioning column 503a is movably inserted into the mounting block 503b, the screw portion of the adjusting knob 503c (not shown in the drawings of the specification) is threadedly connected to the horizontal positioning column 503a, and the knob of the adjusting knob 503c abuts against the outer end surface of the long hole on the mounting block 503b, thereby achieving the tightening of the horizontal positioning column 503a, and the telescopic control of the horizontal positioning column 503a is achieved through the long hole.

[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 As shown, the core positioning portion 6 includes a plurality of supporting blocks 601, and the upper end surface of the supporting block 601 is provided with a blocking portion 601a, and the blocking portion 601a of each supporting block 601 contacts the outer end surface of the upper water chamber 1001 or the lower water chamber 1002 of the radiator.

[0056] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 As shown, a water pipe positioning portion 7 of the radiator is provided on the bottom plate 2, and the water pipe positioning portion 7 is located on both sides of the core positioning portion 6, and the two water pipe positioning portions 7 are respectively used to install the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe of the radiator.

[0057] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the bottom plate 2 is provided with a limiting portion 8 for limiting the sliding of each pallet 1, and each limiting portion 8 is located between the core positioning portion 6 and the pallet 1. Since the pallet 1 is pushed to slide by manpower, people often cannot timely understand the pressure of the side plate 9 on the pallet 1 on the core 10, which makes the inside of the core 10 easily squeezed and damaged by the side plate 9, so the limiting portion 8 is set to limit the pallet 1 and prevent the pallet 1 from sliding further toward the core 10 to crush the core 10. Specifically, the limiting portion 8 can include the following implementation scheme: a connecting block is installed on the bottom plate 2, and a horizontally arranged plug rod is inserted into the connecting block. In addition, a rubber head can be installed at the end of the plug rod, and the direction of the rubber head is set to face the pallet 1 and be at the same height as the pallet 1, so that the sliding of the pallet 1 can be limited and blocked.

[0058] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig. 9 As shown, a rotating base 4 is installed at the lower end of the bottom plate 2. Since the product is large and heavy, two people are required to complete the installation in the prior art. However, by providing the rotating base 4, after completing the installation of the side panel 9 on one side, the rotating base 4 is used to push the bottom plate 2 to rotate horizontally 180 degrees, and the installation of the side panel 9 on the other side can be carried out, which changes the original two-man position into a single man position, saves one manpower, and also improves efficiency. Specifically, the rotating base 4 can be operated by the following implementation scheme: the rotating base 4 includes an upper plate 401 and a lower plate 402, the upper plate 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 2, the lower plate 402 is in contact with the ground, and a fixing member 3 is set to penetrate the upper plate 401 and the bottom plate 2 respectively, and the lower end of the fixing member 3 is inserted into a corresponding slot formed on the upper end surface of the lower plate 402 (the slot is not shown in the drawings of the specification), which is used to fix the upper plate 401 and the bottom plate 2 to prevent them from rotating. After completing the installation of the side plate 9 on one side, the fixing member 3 can be taken out of the slot, the upper plate 401 and the bottom plate 2 are rotated 180 degrees, and then the fixing member 3 is installed back into the slot to install the side plate 9 on the other side. The fixing member 3 can be selected from a plunger, a bolt, etc. When the fixing member 3 is selected from a bolt, a matching nut can also be welded at the notch of the slot to further strengthen the fixed connection strength between the upper plate 401 and the lower plate 402.

[0059] The utility model application exemplarily describes the operation steps of the assembly tool of the radiator side plate, which are as follows:

[0060] S1, placing the core 10 to be installed on the supporting block 601 of the core positioning portion 6;

[0061] S2. Place the side panel body 901 of the side panel 9 on the cushion 501, respectively sleeve the connecting pieces 902 of the side panel 9 on the circular protrusions of the positioning piece 502a, insert the horizontal positioning column 503a into the circular hole of the bracket 903 by using the adjusting knob 503c, and press the rubber pressure head of the vertical clamp model GH-101A on the upper end surface of the circular protrusion to achieve the positioning of the side panel 9;

[0062] S3, pushing the support plate 1 on one side to slide toward the core body 10, when the support plate 1 slides to abut against the limiting portion 8, the core body 10 and the side plate 9 are installed;

[0063] S4. After the installation is completed, adjust the fixing member 3, rotate the upper plate 401 and the bottom plate 2 180 degrees, then adjust the fixing member 3 to fix the bottom plate 2, the upper plate 401 and the lower plate 402, and then install the side plate 9 on the other side.

[0064] S5. After all parts are installed, remove the assembled radiator and proceed to install the next radiator product.

[0065] The preferred implementation modes of the utility model application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present application is not limited to the specific details in the above implementation modes; within the scope of the disclosed technical concept, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the utility model application, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0066] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this application will not further describe various possible combinations.
