Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a forming device for the side condenser tube of a refrigerator. Background Technology
[0002] The condenser is a key component of refrigerator refrigeration. The condenser tubes, as the main part of the condenser, are typically made of metal materials with high thermal conductivity and good ductility. Depending on the product requirements, the metal tubes are bent into different shapes, with specific requirements for angles and dimensions. Traditional refrigerator condenser tubes, due to their large overall size and complex structure, are usually bent manually, which requires a high level of experience and physical strength from workers and is a tedious process. Therefore, an automated forming device is needed to replace manual bending. For example, CN116833323A discloses an automatic condenser tube clamping and feeding device that achieves automatic clamping and feeding of condenser tubes through a feeding module and a bending module, reducing operating costs, improving condenser tube feeding efficiency, and overcoming the problem of condenser tubes piling up and not being able to be fed one by one. However, it can only feed condenser tube material that has already been cut and cannot adjust the feeding speed. Utility Model Content
