Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model application belongs to the technical field of the assembly of the side plates of a warm air radiator, and particularly relates to a clawing tool for the side plates of a radiator. Background Art
[0002] Clawing the side plates is one of the very important links in the production and manufacturing of an automotive warm air radiator, and it affects the welding of the warm air core body. Specifically, for the assembly of an automotive warm air radiator, side plates are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the core body of the radiator, end plates are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends, upper and lower water chambers are respectively covered and installed above the end plates, and the turning claws at both ends of each end plate are exposed outside the radiator. Then, the operator presses all the turning claws (which is habitually called "clawing" by relevant technicians), so that each turning claw closely adheres to the side plate.
[0003] However, in the current assembly process, the following problems exist:
[0004] ①. When assembling the core body, in order to make the turning claws closely adhere to both ends of the side plate, the common method is to strike the turning claws with a hammer. However, the operation relying on manpower lacks stability and consistency. In this way, it is extremely easy for the first heat dissipation pipe adjacent to the turning claw to be deformed or damaged due to multiple artificial strikes, resulting in poor welding afterwards, reducing the product quality, and greatly affecting the use effect.
[0005] ②. The method of using a hammer to strike the turning claws is very time-consuming and laborious. It not only makes it difficult to guarantee the assembly quality of the radiator, but also has low efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgently necessary to design a new device for clawing the side plates of a radiator to replace the clawing method with a hammer, so as to be able to overcome the product defect problems brought about by the above method, achieve technical effects such as improving the product quality, improving the installation efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of the installers, and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving the economic benefits.

Detailed implementation manners
[0039] The following will make a detailed description of the detailed implementation manners of the application of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed implementation manners described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0040] In the technical solution disclosed in the application of the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper, lower, left, right" are usually defined based on the drawing direction of the corresponding drawings, and "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contour of the component or structure itself. In addition, it should be noted that the terms such as "first, second" are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have sequentiality and importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same elements.
[0041] According to the present utility model application, a clawing tool for a radiator side plate is disclosed. As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , it includes a bottom plate 1, and a tray 2 for placing the core body 9 of the radiator is installed on the bottom plate 1. It further includes:
[0042] A core body positioning part 5, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 9 , symmetrically installed on the bottom plate 1 on both sides of the tray 2 for positioning the core body 9;
[0043] A fixed clawing mechanism 4, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 , installed on the bottom plate 1 on one side of the tray 2 for pressing the turning claws 902 on both sides of the core body 9;
[0044] A sliding clawing mechanism 6, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 , slidably arranged on the bottom plate 1 on the other side of the tray 2 for cooperating with the fixed clawing mechanism 4 to press the turning claws 902 on both sides of the core body 9;
[0045] A driving mechanism 7, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 10 , installed on the bottom plate 1 for driving the sliding clawing mechanism 6.
[0046] In the above technical solution, the core body 9 is placed on the tray 2, and the placement position of the core body 9 is calibrated and fixed by using the core body positioning part 5. Then, the driving mechanism 7 is used to drive the sliding clawing mechanism 6 to slide towards the core body 9, so that the turning claws 902 on both sides of the core body 9 are accurately docked and pressed with the fixed clawing mechanism 4 and the sliding clawing mechanism 6 respectively. Finally, under the cooperation of the sliding clawing mechanism 6 and the fixed clawing mechanism 4, each turning claw 902 is tightly attached to the side plate of the core body 9, and the clawing work of the radiator side plate is successfully completed.
[0047] The claw - punching tooling for the side plate of this radiator replaces the previous method of using a hammer to punch claws, thus avoiding the situation that the first heat - dissipation pipe adjacent to the turning claw 902 in the manual hammer - punching method is deformed or damaged due to multiple manual knocks, which may lead to poor welding of the deformed heat - dissipation pipe and finally quality problems of the radiator product. This solution achieves technical effects such as improving product quality, improving installation efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of operators, and ultimately achieves the purpose of improving economic benefits.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 shown, the sliding claw - punching mechanism 6 includes:
[0049] Referring to Figure 4 , a set of guide rails 601 is installed on the bottom plate 1, and a slider 601a is slidably installed on the guide rails 601;
[0050] The connecting block 602 has its lower end surface fixedly connected to the slider 601a;
[0051] The pushing block 603 is installed on the upper end surface of the connecting block 602;
[0052] The connecting plate 604 is fixedly connected to the pushing block 603 and the connecting block 602 on one side. Referring to Figure 5 , at both ends of the other side surface, first claw - pressing blocks 605 are respectively installed. Referring to Figure 9 , the two first claw - pressing blocks 605 are respectively used to press the turning claws 902 of the core body 9. By setting the guide rails 601, the connecting block 602 slides on the guide rails 601, accurately positioning the sliding track of the connecting block 602, ensuring that the first claw - pressing blocks 605 accurately press on the turning claws 902, and the side plate and each turning claw 902 are evenly stressed, ensuring that the assembled radiator products are more standardized and unified.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown, the driving mechanism 7 includes:
[0054] A cylinder 701, on which a telescopic rod 701a is installed;
[0055] A connecting rod 702, one end of the connecting rod 702 is connected to the telescopic rod 701a and the other end is connected to the pushing block 603. By setting the cylinder 701, the telescopic stroke of the cylinder 701 is adjusted within the moving distance required by the sliding claw - punching mechanism 6. After that, all the core bodies 9 to be assembled are claw - punched and assembled within this telescopic stroke. This not only replaces manual labor but also further ensures the standardization and unification of radiator products.
[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the drive mechanism 7 further includes: a cylinder base 703, which is installed on the bottom plate 1 and is used to fix and position the cylinder 701.
[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, a reinforcing plate 8 is further installed on the bottom plate 1. The reinforcing plate 8 is fixedly installed at both ends of the cylinder base 703. Setting the reinforcing plate 8 can further strengthen the connection between the cylinder base 703 and the bottom plate 1, make the installation of the drive mechanism 7 on the bottom plate 1 more firm, and ultimately make the claw hitting operation of this tooling more stable and accurate.
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the fixed claw hitting mechanism 4 includes a pair of second claw pressing blocks 401, which are used to press the turned claws 902 of the core body 9 respectively. Specifically, both the first claw pressing block 605 and the second claw pressing block 401 are made of aluminum alloy of model LY12. The products made of this type of aluminum alloy have high strength and will not warp or deform when stressed, which is a preferred material.
[0059] In some specific embodiments, as Figure 1 , Figure 9 shown, a stop block 3 is further provided between the two second claw pressing blocks 401. The stop block 3 is installed on the bottom plate 1. During the process of claw hitting and pressing, the stop block 3 abuts against the core body 9, making the force on the core body 9 more uniform and ensuring better product assembly effect.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 shown, the core body positioning portion 5 includes a number of support blocks 501. The upper end surface of the support block 501 is provided with a blocking portion 501a. The blocking portion 501a of each support block 501 is in contact with the outer end surface of the upper water chamber 901 or the lower water chamber 903 on both sides of the core body 9.
[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 10 shown, one end of the support plate 2 close to the sliding claw hitting mechanism 6 is a limiting end 201. When manufacturing the support plate 2, a part of the section is reserved as the limiting end 201, that is, the area of the support plate 2 is larger than the area of the placed core body 9. When the first claw pressing block 605 presses against the turned claw 902, the side surface of the limiting end 201 just abuts against the side surface of the connecting plate 604. The purpose is to, in some cases, when the telescopic rod 701a of the cylinder 701 continues to extend after reaching the required telescopic stroke, through the limiting end 201, its side surface abuts against the side surface of the connecting plate 604 to limit the telescopic rod 701a, and prevent the telescopic rod 701a from continuing to extend and continuously applying pressure to the side plate of the radiator, resulting in damage to the heat dissipation pipe, which is an anti-misoperation design.
[0062] The installation steps of the clawing tool for the radiator side plate of the present utility model application are described exemplarily as follows:
[0063] S1. Place the core body 9 of the radiator on the pallet 2, position the core body 9 through the core body positioning part 5, and at the same time make the core body 9 contact with the fixed clawing mechanism 4 and the stopper 3;
[0064] S2. Adjust the required telescopic stroke of the telescopic rod 701a of the air cylinder 701, and then start the air cylinder 701 to drive the push block 603 to slide towards the core body 9 to press the turning claw 902;
[0065] S3. After the pressing process is completed, the fixed clawing mechanism 4 and the driving mechanism 7 return to their original positions to check the clawing effect;
[0066] S4. Take out the assembled radiator and perform relevant operations for the assembly of the next radiator.
[0067] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model application have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the scope of the disclosed technical concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present utility model application, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0068] In addition, it should be noted that, in the case of no contradiction, the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner, and the present application will not explain the various possible combination methods separately.
[0069] Furthermore, any combination can be made between the various different embodiments of the present utility model application as long as it does not violate the idea of the present disclosure, and it should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present utility model application.
