Embodiment

[0027] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present utility model provides a radiator clamping and positioning mechanism, including a base 1. The base 1 is provided with a first cylinder seat 3 and a first cylinder 4 for pushing a first sliding plate 5 to move. The base 1 is further provided with a first sliding plate 5. The first sliding plate 5 is slidably connected to the base 1. The first sliding plate 5 is provided with a clamping structure, and the clamping structure is arranged on the first sliding plate 5 and is pushed by the first cylinder 4 to align and clamp the radiator.

[0028] By pushing the first sliding plate 5 and the clamping structure thereon by the first cylinder 4, precise alignment and positioning of the radiator can be achieved, which can ensure the position accuracy of the radiator during installation or processing and reduce quality problems caused by position deviation.

[0029] Under the push of the first cylinder 4, the clamping structure can firmly hold the radiator, preventing its movement or shaking during subsequent operations, providing reliable guarantee for subsequent locking, welding or other processing steps.

[0030] The entire clamping and positioning mechanism adopts a compact design, enabling it to complete complex operations within a limited space, saving space and improving the overall efficiency and flexibility of the production line.

[0031] See Figure 2 , the clamping structure includes a second sliding plate 10, on which a first clamping plate 15 and a second clamping plate 16 are installed. A number of clamping blocks 20 are provided at the front ends of the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16. The first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 move alternately to clamp the radiator through the clamping blocks 20.

[0032] By moving alternately, the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 use a number of clamping blocks 20 provided at the front ends to achieve precise clamping of the radiator, ensuring that the radiator is firmly held at multiple points simultaneously, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of clamping.

[0033] By clamping simultaneously with multiple clamping blocks 20, it can ensure that the radiator is evenly stressed during the clamping process, avoiding the problem of local stress concentration caused by single-point clamping.

[0034] See Figure 2 , the second sliding plate 10 is provided with a gear 14. The first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 are provided with second through holes 18, which are long strip-shaped through holes with a width exactly allowing the gear 14 to pass through. A rack 19 is provided on the inner long side of the second through hole 18. The racks 19 on the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 are arranged on the opposite sides, so that the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 move in opposite directions to clamp the radiator.

[0035] When the first clamping plate 15 or the second clamping plate 16 moves, the gear 14 rotates on the second sliding plate 10, and it will mesh with the racks 19 on the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 simultaneously. Since the racks 19 are arranged on the opposite sides, the rotation of the gear 14 will drive the two clamping plates to move in opposite directions, thus achieving precise clamping of the radiator.

[0036] The meshing transmission between the gear 14 and the rack 19 has high stability and reliability, ensuring that the movement of the clamping plate during the clamping process is smooth and controllable.

[0037] See Figure 2 , the side of the second sliding plate 10 is provided with a second cylinder seat 7, and a second cylinder 8 is installed on the second cylinder seat 7.

[0038] The second cylinder 8 drives the second sliding plate 10 and the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 thereon to move. By controlling the intake and exhaust air volume of the second cylinder 8, the moving speed and distance of the clamping plate can be accurately controlled, realizing the precise clamping of the radiator. The cylinder has the characteristics of fast response and can generate sufficient thrust or pulling force in a short time, enabling the clamping plate to quickly move to the designated position and clamp the radiator.

[0039] Integrating components such as the cylinder, cylinder seat, and sliding plate simplifies the design and manufacturing process of the clamping mechanism. The integrated design not only reduces the manufacturing cost but also improves the reliability and durability of the mechanism.

[0040] See Figure 1 , the first sliding plate 5 is provided with a limiting groove 9, and the second sliding plate 10 is embedded in the limiting groove 9.

[0041] The limiting groove 9 provides an accurate moving path for the second sliding plate 10, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the second sliding plate 10 during movement. By being embedded in the limiting groove 9, the second sliding plate 10 is effectively restricted to a predetermined trajectory, avoiding possible offsets or wobbles during movement. The limiting groove 9 provides additional structural support for the second sliding plate 10, enhancing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire clamping mechanism.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second sliding plate 10 is provided with a limiting post 11, and the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16 are provided with first through holes 17 through which the limiting post 11 can pass.

[0043] The combination of the limiting post 11 and the first through hole 17 provides precise guidance for the movement of the first clamping plate 15 and the second clamping plate 16. When the cylinder drives the second sliding plate 10 to move, the limiting post 11 slides in the through hole, ensuring that the clamping plate moves along a predetermined path, avoiding offsets or wobbles. Through the guidance of the limiting post 11, the movement of the clamping plate is more stable and reliable, improving the accuracy and consistency of the clamping process.

[0044] See Figure 1 , the second sliding plate 10 is provided with a limiting side plate 12.

[0045] The limiting side plate 12 can accurately limit the moving range of the second sliding plate 10 in the horizontal direction. The second sliding plate 10 will not exceed the predetermined stroke during movement, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the clamping process. The presence of the limiting side plate 12 can effectively prevent the second sliding plate 10 from offsetting or wobbling during movement.

[0046] See Figure 1 , the base 1 is provided with a guide rail 2, and the first sliding plate 5 is provided with a groove 13 that cooperates with the guide rail 2.

[0047] The combination of the guide rail 2 and the groove 13 provides precise guidance for the movement of the first sliding plate 5. When it is necessary to move the sliding plate to adjust or clamp the radiator, the sliding plate can slide smoothly along the guide rail 2, avoiding deviation or wobbling, thus ensuring the accuracy of the movement.

[0048] Through the close fit of the guide rail 2 and the groove 13, the first sliding plate 5 can remain stable during movement and will not be easily offset or tilted due to external factors, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the clamping and positioning.

[0049] See Figure 1 , a cover plate 21 is installed above the second clamping plate 16.

[0050] The cover plate 21 can effectively block dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the radiator clamping area, keeping the internal environment clean. The cover plate 21 can also increase the structural strength of the entire clamping mechanism to a certain extent, helping to resist external impacts and vibrations and protecting the internal components from damage.

[0051] See Figure 1 , a clamping portion 6 is provided at the connection between the first sliding plate 5 and the movable end of the first cylinder 4.

[0052] The design of the clamping portion 6 makes the connection between the first sliding plate 5 and the movable end of the first cylinder 4 simple and quick. During installation, just align the clamping portion 6 and snap it into the corresponding position to complete the connection, without complex fixing steps.

[0053] The compact design of the clamping portion 6 helps to optimize the overall spatial layout of the radiator clamping and positioning mechanism, reduce unnecessary occupied space, and make the mechanism more compact and efficient.
