DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0025] The heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger body 1, side plates 11 and nozzles 12. Side plates 11 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the heat exchanger body 1, and nozzles 12 are provided at the four corners of the heat exchanger body 1. Before overall welding, it is necessary to pre-position the side plates 11 by spot welding. In order to ensure the accuracy of the spot welding position, a spot welding auxiliary fixture for the heat exchanger is designed, as Figure 1 shown. The spot welding auxiliary fixture includes a main board 2, a number of correspondingly arranged side plates 3 and spot welding plates 4. The main board 2 is arranged along the length direction of the heat exchanger body 1, the side plates 3 are vertically arranged on the main board 2 on the side of the heat exchanger body 1, and the spot welding plates 4 are vertically against the side plates 3 and abut against the side plates 11. A number of side plates 3 are movably connected to the main board 2 through a first adjustment component, and the spot welding plates 4 are movably connected to the side plates 3 through a second adjustment component.
[0026] The correspondingly arranged side plates 3 and spot welding plates 4 form a set of spot welding units. By adjusting the position of the side plates 3 on the main board 2 through the first adjustment component, that is, adjusting the spacing of the spot welding units, and by adjusting the position of the spot welding plates 4 through the second adjustment component, that is, adjusting the spacing between the upper welding plate group and the lower welding plate group, the fixture is stably clamped outside the heat exchanger body 1. Welding holes 411 are pre-opened on the spot welding plates 4. After the position of the spot welding plates 4 is adjusted, the positions of the solder joints to be spot welded are marked out. Workers can spot weld the side plates 11 according to the positions of the welding holes 411, or use the synchronous auxiliary resistance spot welding device in the publication number CN221019081U for synchronous spot welding. After the fixture is clamped, the electrode heads of the upper side spot welding equipment and the lower side spot welding equipment are respectively placed inside the corresponding welding holes 411 of the upper welding plate group and the lower welding plate group to complete the positioning of the electrode heads of the spot welding equipment. After spot welding, the two electrode heads are respectively placed inside another group of upper and lower opposite welding holes 411. Repeating like this can complete the spot welding pre-positioning of the heat exchanger body 1, and the spot welding plates 4 are arranged according to the specifications of the heat exchanger body 1, that is, the welding holes 411 are evenly distributed, which can ensure the welding stability.
[0027] The first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are respectively a first screw 5 and a second screw 6. Handwheels 51 are fixedly provided at the ends of the first screw 5 and the second screw 6. The side plates 3 and the spot welding plates 4 are respectively connected to the first screw 5 and the second screw 6 through sliders 52. Through the cooperation of the differential screw and the slider 52, the positions of the spot welding plates 4 at both ends of the screw can be adjusted synchronously, and self-locking can be performed. The adjustment is convenient and the stability is good.
[0028] The first screw rod 5 and the second screw rod 6 adopt differential screw rods with symmetric threads at both ends. There are three groups of side plates 3 and spot welding plates 4 correspondingly arranged. The side plate 3 placed in the middle of the heat exchanger main body 1 is fixedly connected to the main board 2. Three groups of spot welding plates 4 are correspondingly arranged on the upper and lower sides of the heat exchanger main body 1. The position of the middle side plate 3 and the main board 2 is fixed and non-adjustable, that is, the position of the middle spot welding plate 4 in the length direction of the heat exchanger main body 1 is fixed, and only the longitudinal adjustment is carried out through the second screw rod 6 on the side plate 3.
[0029] In order to stably clamp the fixture outside the heat exchanger main body 1, the spot welding plate 4 is divided into an upper welding plate group and a lower welding plate group. The upper welding plate group and the lower welding plate group are respectively arranged at both ends of the second screw rod 6 through sliders 52 and abut against the side plates 11 on the upper and lower sides. By rotating the second screw rod 6 through the handwheel 51, the corresponding upper and lower spot welding plates 4 can be synchronously adjusted, and the heat exchanger main body 1 can be clamped synchronously or moved away from the heat exchanger main body 1 synchronously.
[0030] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, welding blocks 41 are arranged on the spot welding plate 4. Welding holes 411 are opened on the welding blocks 41. Three welding blocks 41 are arranged on each spot welding plate 4. A third screw rod 7 for connecting the welding blocks 41 is also arranged on the spot welding plate 4. The welding blocks 41 are connected to the third screw rod 7 through sliders 52. The sliders 52 and the welding blocks 41 are of an integral structure. The welding block 41 placed in the middle of the spot welding plate 4 is fixedly connected to the spot welding plate 4. The welding block 41 in the middle of the spot welding plate 4 is fixed and non-adjustable, while the welding blocks 41 on both sides can adjust their positions through the third screw rod 7 so that the welding holes 411 on each spot welding plate 4 are evenly arranged.
[0031] As Figure 4 shown, in order to adjust and limit the position of the spot welding plate 4 on both sides of the heat exchanger main body 1 from the nozzle 12, a nozzle positioning member 9 is further included. The nozzle positioning member 9 is fixedly connected to the spot welding plate 4 close to the nozzle 12 through a cross bar 8. The cross bar 8 is vertically arranged in the middle of the spot welding plate 4. A scale is arranged on the cross bar 8, and the distance between the spot welding plates 4 on both side edges and the nozzle 12 can be measured and adjusted.
[0032] The nozzle positioning member 9 includes a sliding sleeve 91, a connecting rod and a top plate 92. The sliding sleeve 91 is movably sleeved on the cross bar 8. The top plates 92 are arranged at both ends of the sliding sleeve 91 through the connecting rod. The top plates 92 are clamped on the opposite sides of the nozzle 12. A locking screw 96 is also arranged on the sliding sleeve 91. The locking screw 96 is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve 91 and can abut against the cross bar 8. The position of the nozzle positioning member 9 can be adjusted by sliding the sliding sleeve 91 along the cross bar 8, and after adjustment, the locking screw 96 is used for limiting.
[0033] The top plate 92 is V-shaped. When two opposite top plates 92 are placed between the two nozzles 12, the position of the sliding sleeve 91 can be automatically positioned, so that the sliding sleeve 91 is located between the two nozzles 12. The connecting rod includes a fixed rod 93, a movable rod 94 and a spring 95. The movable rod 94 is slidably arranged in the fixed rod 93 through the spring 95. When the V-shaped top plate 92 abuts against the nozzle 12, the top plate 92 can be positioned by the nozzle 12, and the position of the welding hole 411 on the spot welding plate 4 can be positioned by the top plate 92, so as to simply and accurately mark the welding point position of the welding hole 411 on the heat exchanger plate body 1, and further improve the spot welding accuracy.
[0034] The above description is illustrative rather than restrictive to the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, and all of them will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
