Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model discloses an aluminum tube fixing and handling device for a tube threading machine, comprising:

[0031] The frame 1 is connected to a pushing component 3 and a fixing component 4. The pushing component 3 is located on one side of the frame 1 and pushes the aluminum tube 2 inside the pushing component 3 into the waiting rack 5 at the rear. The fixing component 4 is located at the rear of the waiting rack 5 and fixes the aluminum tube 2.

[0032] The transport component 6 is mounted above the fixed component 4 via the support frame 11. It transports the aluminum tube 2 on the waiting rack 5 to the fixed component 4. After the tube is threaded, the aluminum tube 2 on the fixed component 4 is transported to the designated position.

[0033] This invention achieves automatic fixing of the aluminum tube 2 through the fixing component 4, which facilitates the entry of the heater core into the aluminum tube. The automatic loading and unloading of the aluminum tube 2 is achieved through the pushing component 3 and the conveying component 6, which reduces the labor intensity of the machine operator and improves the processing efficiency.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pushing assembly 3 includes a material placement rack 31 and a pushing cylinder 32. The material placement rack 31 is located on the upper surface of the frame 1 and has a material groove 33 for accommodating aluminum tubes 2. The pushing cylinder 32 is located on one side of the material placement rack 31. A pushing plate 34 connected to the pushing cylinder 32 pushes the aluminum tubes 2 in the material groove 33 into the waiting rack 5. The pushing cylinder 32 extends, driving the pushing plate 34 to move and push one aluminum tube 2 from the material groove 33 into the waiting rack 5, waiting for the conveying assembly 6 to transport it to a designated location. An adjusting cylinder 35 is connected to one side of the material placement rack 31. The movable end of the adjusting cylinder 35 is connected to the movable end of the material placement rack 31, facilitating the adjustment of the length of the material placement rack 31 to accommodate more types of aluminum tubes 2.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing component 4 includes a fixing base 41, an upper pressure cylinder 42 on one side of the fixing base 41, and a lower abutment cylinder 43 on the other side of the fixing base 41. A U-shaped block 44 for limiting the aluminum tube 2 is connected to the fixing base 41. An upper driving block 45 is connected to the movable end of the upper pressure cylinder 42. The upper driving block 45 is rotatably connected to the fixing base 41. An upper pressure block 46 for fixing the aluminum tube 2 is connected to one end of the upper driving block 45. A guide structure 47 is connected to the movable end of the lower abutment cylinder 43, and a lower abutment pad 48 is connected to the movable end of the guide structure 47. The opening of the U-shaped block 44 matches the width of the aluminum tube 2, improving the positioning accuracy of the aluminum tube 2. In this embodiment, the upper pressure cylinder 42 retracts, causing the upper drive block 45 to rotate around the fixed base 41, and simultaneously driving the upper pressure block 46 to rotate, facilitating the entry of the aluminum tube 2 into the U-shaped block 44; the lower abutment cylinder 43 extends, driving the lower abutment pad 48 to move upward, so that the lower abutment pad 48 abuts against the lower surface of the aluminum tube 2, providing support. To increase the rotation angle of the upper pressure block 46, the upper pressure cylinder 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 41.

[0036] Similarly, the longitudinal section of the upper pressure block 46 is U-shaped, so that the upper pressure block 46 is close to both sides of the aluminum tube 2, avoiding it being close to the center of the aluminum tube 2 and causing the aluminum tube 2 to deform.

[0037] Alternatively, the upper pressure block 46 and the lower abutment pad 48 are placed on the same side of the U-shaped block 44, or the upper pressure block 46 and the lower abutment pad 48 are placed on opposite sides of the U-shaped block 44.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the guide structure 47 includes a guide post 471 and a guide sleeve 472. The guide sleeve 472 is connected to the fixed base 41. The guide post 471 passes through the guide sleeve and is slidably connected to the guide sleeve. One end of the guide post 471 is connected to the movable end of the lower abutment cylinder 43, and the other end is connected to the lower abutment pad 48, which further improves the movement accuracy of the lower abutment pad 48 and prevents the lower abutment pad 48 from shifting under force.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying assembly 6 includes an upper fixed plate 61, a conveying cylinder 64, and a conveying pallet 65. The lower surface of the upper fixed plate 61 is provided with a slide rail 62 and a sliding plate 63 that slides on the slide rail 62. The conveying cylinder 64 is located on the lower surface of the sliding plate 63. The conveying pallet 65 is connected to the movable end of the conveying cylinder 64, and two rows of suction parts 66 for suctioning aluminum tubes 2 are also connected to the conveying pallet 65. The sliding plate 63 is controlled by a transmission assembly, which drives the sliding plate 63 to move. The conveying cylinder 64 drives the conveying pallet 65 and the suction parts 66 to move up and down. When the conveying pallet 65 moves above the fixed assembly 4, it transports the aluminum tubes 2 on the waiting rack 5 into the fixed assembly 4. After the tubes are threaded, the aluminum tubes 2 on the fixed assembly 4 are transported to the designated position. In addition, the suction parts 66 are arranged in two rows, which can transport the aluminum tubes 2 on the waiting rack 5 and the aluminum tubes 2 on the fixed assembly 4 after threading, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0040] In addition, in order to improve the stability of the aluminum tube 2 in the fixing component 4 and prevent the aluminum tube 2 from moving during the insertion, an abutment component 7 is also connected on the frame 1, including an abutment cylinder 71 and an abutment block 72. The abutment cylinder 71 is located at the end of the aluminum tube 2 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The abutment block 72 is located at the movable end of the abutment cylinder 71. The abutment block 72 is made of rubber.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
