Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of radiator production, and in particular to a laser welding structure of a heat dissipation mainboard and a flat tube. Background Art

[0002] Radiators are essential components of hot water heating systems. Hot water cools within them and then supplies heat to the interior, achieving the desired heating effect. Radiators account for a significant portion of a heating system's metal consumption and cost. Therefore, the correct selection of a radiator is crucial to both the system's economic performance and operational performance.

[0003] Currently, a common radiator structure consists of a mainboard for connection to external structures and a heat pipe connected to the mainboard. The heat pipe is filled with a heat transfer medium for heat exchange. During radiator production, the heat pipe needs to be welded to the mainboard, usually using brazing.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that during the soldering process, the heat sinks may crack due to the difficulty in controlling the thermal stress during the brazing process. Furthermore, the heat sinks may shrink and deform in various locations due to the thermal stress during soldering, thus affecting the production quality of the heat sink. Utility Model Content

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The supporting member 4 is arranged on the supporting base plate 2, and the supporting member 4 includes a second vertical plate 41, a first supporting plate 42 and a second supporting plate 43. Two second vertical plates 41 are arranged vertically and parallel on the bottom surface of the supporting base plate 2. A connecting ear plate is connected to the bottom edge of the second vertical plate 41, and the connecting ear plate is connected to the supporting base plate 2 by bolts. The first supporting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the supporting base plate 2 and is arranged between the two second vertical plates 41. The second supporting plate 43 is arranged between the two second vertical plates 41, and a plug-in plate 44 is connected to both ends of the second supporting plate 43 in the longitudinal direction. A plug-in slot 45 corresponding to the plug-in plate 44 is opened on the second vertical plate 41, and the plug-in plate 44 is inserted into the plug-in slot 45. The first supporting plate 42 is disposed directly below the second supporting plate 43. A plurality of supporting grooves 46 are disposed on the top surfaces of the first supporting plate 42 and the second supporting plate 43. The plurality of supporting grooves 46 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of heat dissipation flat tubes 102. The first supporting plate 42 and the second supporting plate 43 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the height of the bottom ends of the two rows of heat dissipation flat tubes 102, respectively.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When processing and welding the radiator, laser welding is used. Compared to the commonly used brazing method, the laser beam diameter can be adjusted according to actual conditions, reducing the possibility of cracks and helping to improve product quality. The mainboard 101 is placed vertically between the fixed clamping bar 6 and the sliding clamping bar 7. The clamping cylinder 9 is activated. The sliding clamping bar 7 moves toward the fixed clamping bar 6 under the driving force of the clamping cylinder 9 and the limiting and guiding action of the sliding column 8 and the sliding blind groove 21 until the mainboard 101 is clamped, thus securing the mainboard 101.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-3The plurality of heat dissipating flat tubes 102 are inserted one by one into the plurality of soldering openings 103 on the mainboard 101. The abutment ring 104 abuts against one side of the mainboard 101, limiting the position of the mainboard 101 and ensuring that each heat dissipating flat tube 102 maintains a consistent insertion length. The first support plate 42 supports the lower row of heat dissipating flat tubes 102. The second riser 41 is connected to the support base 2 via connecting lugs and bolts, and the second support plate 43 is connected between the two second risers 41. The second support plate 43 supports the upper row of heat dissipating flat tubes 102. The arrangement of the first and second support plates 42, 43 supports the heat dissipating flat tubes 102, ensuring that the heat dissipating flat tubes 102 and the mainboard 101 remain perpendicular during the soldering process, thereby improving the soldering quality of the radiator. The provision of the support grooves 46 limits the position of the plurality of heat dissipating flat tubes 102, ensuring that the plurality of heat dissipating flat tubes 102 remain parallel to each other.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 After the motherboard 101 and the heat dissipation flat tubes 102 are connected, the drive motor 36 is started, driving the drive screw 34 to rotate. Under the drive of the drive screw 34 and the guiding and limiting action of the guide rod 35, the movable block 32 moves along the length direction of the guide rod 35 until the end of the support block 31 corresponds to the end position of one of the heat dissipation flat tubes 102.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support cylinder 33 is activated, driving the support block 31 toward the heat dissipating tubes 102 until the support block 31 is inserted into the corresponding end of the heat dissipating tube 102. This provides support for the end of the heat dissipating tube 102 and prevents the end of the heat dissipating tube 102 from shrinking due to thermal stress during the welding process. The end of the support block 31 is provided with a plug chamfer 37, which facilitates the insertion of the support block 31 into the heat dissipating tube 102 and reduces the possibility of deformation of the end of the heat dissipating tube 102 due to the impact of the support block 31 during the support process.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3After the support insert 31 is inserted into the heat dissipating flat tubes 102, a laser welding device is used to weld the heat dissipating flat tubes 102 to the mainboard 101. Under the action of the support cylinder 33, the support insert 31 is withdrawn from the interior of one heat dissipating flat tube 102 and moved to the position of the next heat dissipating flat tube 102 to support the next heat dissipating flat tube 102. The provision of two sets of support assemblies 3 simultaneously supports two rows of heat dissipating flat tubes 102, which helps improve the processing efficiency of the radiator body 1. After completing the welding of the mainboard 101 on one end, the second riser 41 and second support plate 43 are removed, and the heat dissipating flat tubes 102 are rotated, and welding is performed on the mainboard 101 on the other end.

[0041] The principle of the laser welding structure for the heat dissipation mainboard and flat tubes in the present embodiment is as follows: the mainboard 101 is vertically clamped between the fixed clamping bar 6 and the sliding clamping bar 7. The heat dissipation flat tubes 102 are inserted one by one into the welding openings 103 on the mainboard 101. The first support plate 42 and the second support plate 43 support the heat dissipation flat tubes 102, ensuring that the heat dissipation flat tubes 102 and the mainboard 101 remain perpendicular during the welding process.

[0042] After the motherboard 101 and the heat dissipating flat tubes 102 are connected, the movable block 32 is driven to move until the end of the support plug 31 aligns with the end of one of the heat dissipating flat tubes 102. The support plug 31 is driven to insert into the end of the corresponding heat dissipating flat tube 102, providing support for the end of the heat dissipating flat tube 102 and preventing the end of the heat dissipating flat tube 102 from shrinking due to thermal stress during the welding process.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
