Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of profiling devices, and in particular to an end profiling device for a header. Background Art

[0002] During assembly, the manifold needs to be inserted into the corresponding mounting seat. The mounting seat has a mounting slot for the end of the manifold to be inserted. When the end size of the manifold is too large, the manifold cannot be inserted into the mounting slot. When the end size of the manifold is too small, the connection gap between the manifold and the mounting seat is prone to water leakage. Therefore, during the production process, the size requirements for the end of the manifold are high, and the end of the manifold needs to be reshaped so that it can fit into the mounting slot of the mounting seat. In response to the above problems, the inventor provides an end shaping device for a manifold. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to achieve the shaping of the end of a collecting pipe, the present application provides an end shaping device for a collecting pipe.

[0004] The present application provides a header end shaping device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A trimming device for an end portion of a collecting pipe comprises a frame, a clamping mechanism mounted on the top surface of the frame, and a trimming mechanism mounted on the top surface of the frame and arranged corresponding to the clamping mechanism; the trimming mechanism comprises a trimming mold and a trimming drive member that drives the trimming mold to slide toward the clamping mechanism; the trimming mold comprises a mold base and a trimming member mounted on the mold base; the trimming member comprises a trimming ring and a plurality of trimming portions elastically connected to the trimming ring and used for trimming the end portion of the collecting pipe; the inner side of the trimming portion has a trimming cavity adapted to the outer contour of the collecting pipe, and the outer side of the trimming portion has a guide inclined surface; the mold base has a mold base groove for arranging the trimming member and an elastic member abutting against the trimming ring is provided in the mold base groove; the mold base has a driving surface that cooperates with the guide inclined surface to drive the trimming portion to retract inward.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during the shaping process of the end face of the collecting tube, the collecting tube is first placed in the clamping mechanism, and the shaping drive pushes the shaping mold to slide toward the clamping mechanism, so that the end of the collecting tube is inserted into the shaping cavity inside the shaping part. As the shaping mold continues to slide toward the clamping mechanism and the driving surface of the mold seat cooperates with the guide inclined surface of the shaping part, the shaping part continues to retract inward, thereby achieving the effect of shaping the end face of the collecting tube and helping to improve the accuracy of shaping the end face of the collecting tube.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the upper placement slot and the lower placement slot are arranged, which helps to lock the current collector tube on the clamping mold; when the current collector tube is mounted on the clamping mechanism, the part of the current collector tube extending out of the clamping mold helps the trimming mechanism to trim the end of the current collector tube.

[0011] Optionally, the trimming piece is provided with a deformation gap between adjacent trimming parts and a deformation round hole close to one end of the elastic piece in the deformation gap.

[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the deformation gap arranged on the trimming piece helps the trimming parts to be inwardly folded to trim the current collector tube, and the design of the deformation round hole helps to improve the structural strength of the trimming piece and reduce the probability of the trimming piece being broken in the deformation process.

[0013] Optionally, the mold seat is screw-mounted with a limiting bolt penetrating through the inner and outer cavities, the outer wall of the trimming ring is provided with a limiting slot for the limiting bolt to abut against, and the limiting slot is parallel to the axis of the trimming ring.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the trimming ring is locked in the circumferential direction through the cooperation between the limiting bolt and the limiting slot of the outer wall of the trimming ring, which helps the trimming piece to cooperate with the end face of the current collector tube and improves the accuracy of the end face trimming of the current collector tube.

[0015] Optionally, the mold seat is provided with an insertion protruding column arranged towards the clamping mechanism on the bottom surface of the mold seat groove, and the insertion protruding column is matched with the size of the through slot of the current collector tube.

[0017] Optionally, the elastic member is a rubber elastic member.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, using a rubber elastic member as the elastic member helps to increase the service life of the elastic member, and the elastic effect is ideal.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the adjustment component facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the trimming die. The use of the trimming cylinder as the trimming drive makes the driving process efficient and convenient.

[0021] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment bracket slidably mounted on the frame, a driving screw rotatably mounted on the adjustment bracket, a screw motor driving the driving screw to rotate, a first slide rail mounted on the adjustment bracket and parallel to the driving screw, and a screw nut mounted on the mounting plate and cooperating with the driving screw; the mounting plate has a first slide groove cooperating with the first slide rail; the driving screw is perpendicular to the driving direction of the shaping drive component.

And the cooperation between the driving screw 443, the screw motor 444 and the first slide rail 445 on the adjustment bracket 442 and the first slide groove 447 on the mounting plate 42 is adjusted so that the mounting plate 42 can slide in the driving direction perpendicular to the shaping drive part 43, thereby facilitating the replacement and cleaning of the mold group installed on the mounting plate 42.
