Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger production equipment, in particular to a device for continuously arranging pipes according to demand directions. Background Art
[0002] The assembly of the heat exchanger is completed by the assembly machine. The flat tube is one of the components of the heat exchanger, which contains a certain number of flat tubes. The tube arrangement mechanism is an indispensable mechanism of the assembly machine.
[0003] Some existing heat exchangers have certain directional requirements for flat tubes to ensure product performance. This requirement adds a mechanism for detecting and changing the direction of the flat tubes. However, the previous mechanism will reduce the efficiency of the tube arrangement to a certain extent, or increase the number of tube arrangement mechanisms to achieve the beat but increase the cost in the opposite direction. It is necessary to meet the existing efficiency requirements at a low cost.
[0004] To address the above issues, we have developed a device that continuously arranges pipes according to demand. Utility Model Content

One of the flat tube silos is a sliding design, which increases flexibility and the ability to adapt to different process requirements. The cylinder is connected to the feed port through a fixed plate to control the feed amount and direction, thereby realizing a continuous and controllable tube discharge process. The motor and the limit turntable work together to provide more precise control of the flat tube feeding process, ensuring the processing accuracy and stability of the system.
[0009] In a preferred solution, a transverse movement module is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and an output end of the transverse movement module is fixedly connected to one side of one of the flat tube silos.
[0010] By setting up a transverse movement module to move the sliding flat tube silo, the material can be accurately positioned and transferred between different positions, which enhances the flexibility of the device during the processing and can quickly adapt to the different requirements of the production line.
[0011] In a preferred solution, two limit bars are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and the bottom of one of the flat tube silos is slidably connected to the two limit bars.
[0012] By setting limit bars to guide the movement range of the flat tube silo, the possibility of accidental deviation is reduced and the integrity of the equipment and products is protected.
[0013] In a preferred solution, an alignment plate is slidably connected between the outer portions of the two limit bars, and the alignment plate is arranged between the two flat tube silos.
[0014] By setting the alignment plate between the two flat tube silos, the materials are accurately aligned, ensuring that the pipes discharged from the device are accurately aligned, thereby increasing the accuracy and consistency of production.

[0016] By installing the detector on the side close to the two silos, it is used to detect the material status in the silos in real time, provide information feedback during operation, prevent material loss or blockage, and greatly improve the working automation level and fault detection capability of the device.
[0017] In a preferred solution, four support legs with adjustable height structures are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame.
[0018] The height-adjustable design of the support legs allows the device to be used in workplaces of different heights and terrains, increasing the adaptability and flexibility of the device and ensuring that the device remains stable and level in any environment.
[0019] In a preferred solution, the cylinder, motor and transverse movement module are all electrically connected to an external control device.
[0020] By setting up an electrical connection with external control equipment, the automatic control of the entire system can be achieved. The operator can remotely control the equipment operating device to improve the convenience and efficiency of operation.

After this improvement, there is no requirement for the operator to adjust the pipe direction, and it can be detected through subsequent more reliable methods. The flat pipe direction can be arranged according to product requirements without affecting the pipe arrangement efficiency. At the same time, when some tooling parts are replaced, different products can be switched, and there is a certain compatibility with the products. Compared with traditional devices, the operation quality and use efficiency are greatly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The cylinder 5 is connected to the feed port 6 through the fixed plate 4 to control the feed amount and direction, thereby realizing a continuously controllable tube discharge process. The motor 7 and the limit turntable 8 work together to provide more precise control over the feeding process of the flat tubes, ensuring the processing accuracy and stability of the system.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transverse movement module 9 is responsible for moving the slidable flat tube silo 3, allowing accurate positioning and transfer of materials between different positions, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the device during processing and being able to quickly adapt to different requirements of the production line.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 10 guides the movement range of the flat tube silo 3, reduces the possibility of accidental deviation, and protects the integrity of the equipment and products.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, a positioning plate 11 is slidably connected between the outsides of the two limit bars 10 , and the positioning plate 11 is arranged between the two flat tube silos 3 .
[0037] In this embodiment, the alignment plate 11 is located between the two flat tube silos 3 to precisely align the materials, ensuring that the pipes discharged from the device are precisely aligned, thereby increasing the accuracy and consistency of production.

[0044] Working principle: In the above device, the operator places the flat tube in the flat tube silo 3, with no fixed direction requirement. When the flat tube reaches the position of the detector 12, the direction of the flat tube is detected by the combination of camera and light source, and then the motor 7 drives the limit turntable 8 to discharge the flat tube from the silo and enter the subsequent process. The subsequent process is divided into two channels, one of which is for discharging in the original direction, and the other channel is for flipping the flat tube to change the direction of the flat tube. The judgment of which channel the flat tube enters depends on the detection result of the camera and the direction required by the final product. The two channels can receive and discharge the flat tube at the same time without affecting each other, thus The influence of the flipping of the flat tubes on the tube arrangement efficiency is eliminated, and the cylinder 5 rotates the feed port 6 to realize the channel for the flat tubes to enter. In order to arrange the flat tubes directly in the original direction, the motor 7 drives the limit turntable 8 to rotate to realize the flipping of the flat tube direction. After this improvement, there is no requirement for the operator to put on the tube direction, and it can be detected in a more reliable way later. The direction of the flat tubes can be arranged according to the product requirements without affecting the tube arrangement efficiency. At the same time, when some tooling parts are replaced, different products can be switched, and there is a certain compatibility with the products. Compared with traditional devices, the operation quality and use efficiency are greatly improved.

The replacements described may be partial structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Any equivalent replacements or modifications based on the technical solution and the concept of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
