Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile thermal management device assembly, in particular to a tooling for assembling an automobile thermal management device. Background Technique
[0002] An automobile thermal management device refers to a system and components used to control and manage the temperature inside an automobile. The main purpose is to ensure that the engine, transmission and other key components operate within the optimal working temperature range, thereby improving the performance, efficiency and safety of the vehicle. The automobile thermal management device adjusts the flow and temperature of the coolant to keep the engine and other components within the ideal working temperature range, preventing overheating or overcooling. The automobile thermal management device includes parts such as a radiator and coolant pipelines, and is responsible for dissipating the heat generated by the engine to the external environment. Parts such as the radiator and coolant pipelines in the automobile thermal management device need to use assembly tooling to assist in the assembly during the assembly process. However, most of the existing tooling for assembling automobile thermal management devices still have problems to be solved during use.
[0003] Most of the existing tooling for assembling automobile thermal management devices in the prior art position and clamp the radiator by making two clamping plates approach each other, and then lower the pressing head to press the coolant pipeline and the radiator to make them closely connected. However, in most of the existing assembly tooling in the prior art, the two steps of clamping and pressing are manually operated and need to be operated separately. It is necessary to manually operate the clamping plate to move to clamp the radiator first, and then manually operate to lower the pressing head to perform the pressing, which is very troublesome and consumes physical strength, affecting the efficiency of the assembly work. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tooling for assembling an automobile thermal management device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

Due to the technical means of making the two clamping plates approach each other while the pressing head descends, during the descent of the pressing head, the slide rail will squeeze the sliding rod to make the two sliding rods approach each other, and the two clamping plates will approach each other to clamp the radiator. After the pressing head descends a certain distance, the clamping plates can clamp the radiator. At this time, the sliding rod is in the straight groove of the slide rail. Continuing to lower the pressing head can press the coolant pipe, effectively solving the problem proposed in the background technology that in most existing assembly tools, the clamping and pressing steps are manually operated and need to be operated separately. It is necessary to manually operate the clamping plate to move to clamp the radiator first, and then manually operate to lower the pressing head to press, which is very troublesome and labor-consuming, affecting the efficiency of the assembly work. Furthermore, it realizes the technical effects of simple operation, time-saving and labor-saving, can reduce the work burden of the staff, and ensure the efficiency of the assembly work.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention, two first guiding rods are inserted through the clamping plate. The first guiding rods are slidably connected to the clamping plate. The two first guiding rods are fixedly connected to the same fixing plate. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the base.

[0012] As a further solution of the present utility model, a first pipe bracket and a second pipe bracket are fixedly connected to the top of the base.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] In the present utility model: due to the technical means of making two clamping plates approach each other while pressing down the pressing head, during the process of the pressing head descending, the slide rail will squeeze the sliding rod to make the two sliding rods approach each other, and the two clamping plates will approach each other to clamp the radiator. After the pressing head descends a certain distance, the clamping plates can clamp the radiator. At this time, the sliding rod is in the straight groove of the slide rail, and continuing to lower the pressing head can press the coolant pipe.

Continuing to lower the pressing head can press the coolant pipe, effectively solving the problem in the background technology that in most existing assembly toolings, the clamping and pressing steps are manually operated and need to be operated separately. It is necessary to manually operate the clamping plate to move to clamp the radiator first, and then manually operate to lower the pressing head to perform the pressing, which is very troublesome and labor-consuming, affecting the efficiency of the assembly work. Furthermore, it realizes the technical effects of simple operation, time-saving and labor-saving, being able to reduce the work burden of the staff and ensuring the efficiency of the assembly work.
[0025] In this embodiment, two first guiding rods 17 are passed through the clamping plate 16. The first guiding rods 17 are slidably connected to the clamping plate 16.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first pipe bracket 21 and a second pipe bracket 22 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1.
[0031] Working principle: When using this device, the automotive radiator can be placed between two clamping plates 16. Connect the coolant pipes to the inlet and outlet ends of the radiator, and place the coolant pipes on the first pipe bracket 21 and the second pipe bracket 22. Then, start the motor 3 through the PLC control device. The output end of the motor 3 will drive the first lead screw 4 to rotate. The first lead screw 4 will drive the first lead screw nut 5 to move. The first lead screw nut 5 will move along the second guide rod 23. The first lead screw nut 5 will not deviate during the movement. The first lead screw nut 5 will also drive the connecting plate 6 to move. The connecting plate 6 will drive the pressing head 7 to descend. The pressing head 7 will gradually approach the connection between the coolant pipe and the radiator until it contacts the coolant pipe. Press the coolant pipe through the pressing head 7 to make the coolant pipe tightly connected to the radiator. During the rotation of the first lead screw 4, it will also drive the connecting rod 8 to rotate. The connecting rod 8 will drive the worm 9 to rotate. The worm 9 will drive the worm wheel 10 to rotate. The worm wheel 10 will drive the second lead screw 11 to rotate. The second lead screw 11 will drive the second lead screw nut 12 to move. The second lead screw nut 12 will drive the sleeve plate 13 to move along the third guide rod 24. The sleeve plate 13 will not deviate during the movement. The movement of the sleeve plate 13 will drive the slide rail 14 to move in the installation groove 20. The movement of the slide rail 14 will squeeze the sliding rod 15, causing the sliding rod 15 to move in the inclined groove of the slide rail 14. The two sliding rods 15 will approach each other. The sliding rod 15 will drive the clamping plate 16 to move. The two clamping plates 16 will approach each other until they contact the radiator, so as to position and clamp the radiator, making the connection between the radiator and the coolant pipe directly below the pressing head 7. After the sliding rod 15 moves into the straight groove of the slide rail 14, the radiator can be clamped. Then, make the pressing head 7 continue to descend and the slide rail 14 continue to move. The sliding rod 15 will move in the straight groove of the slide rail 14, while the clamping plate 16 will move along the first guide rod 17. The clamping plate 16 will not deviate during the movement. The clamping plate 16 will contact the radiator before the pressing head 7 contacts the coolant pipe. After the pressing is completed, reverse the output end of the motor 3, which can make the first lead screw nut 5 rise, and can also reverse the worm 9 to drive the worm wheel 10 to reverse, so as to reverse the second lead screw 11 to make the sleeve plate 13 move back to the initial position, so that the two clamping plates 16 move away from each other and no longer clamp the radiator. Then, the radiator and the coolant pipe combination in the completed automotive thermal management device can be removed, and the assembly work can be continued according to the same steps as above.
