Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning pipe manufacturing technology, and in particular to a force-enhancing pipe clamping mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioning pipes are specially designed for use in air conditioners and refrigeration system heat exchangers, where they offer excellent heat dissipation. To meet the installation requirements of air conditioners, air conditioning pipes need to be bent during production, and they need to be clamped to facilitate the bending operation.
[0003] Existing air conditioning pipe clamping devices require the air conditioning pipe to be placed in the designated position for clamping. However, to meet loading and unloading requirements, existing clamping components need to move both horizontally and vertically while clamping the air conditioning pipe. Consequently, existing clamping components often move at an angle when clamping the air conditioning pipe. This angled movement causes the clamping components to collide with the air conditioning pipe before clamping it, which can damage the air conditioning pipe during clamping. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Purpose of the utility model
[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a force-enhancing pipe clamping mechanism. When this device is needed, the air conditioning pipe is first placed on the placement mechanism, and the clamping mechanism clamps the air conditioning pipe on the placement mechanism. Since the clamping end of the clamping mechanism moves in an arc to the air conditioning pipe when it moves to clamp the air conditioning pipe, the vertical displacement of the clamping end is small when it approaches the air conditioning pipe. This effectively avoids the clamping end from contacting the outer end of the air conditioning pipe during movement, thus preventing damage to the air conditioning pipe caused by collision of the clamping end of the clamping component during the clamping process.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a force-enhancing pipe clamping mechanism, which includes a placement mechanism for placing an air conditioning pipe and a clamping mechanism for clamping the air conditioning pipe in cooperation with the placement mechanism. The clamping end of the clamping mechanism can be moved in an arc to cooperate with the placement mechanism to clamp the air conditioning pipe.
[0025] In this invention, when the device is needed, the air conditioning pipe is first placed on the placement mechanism, and the air conditioning pipe is clamped by the clamping mechanism. Since the clamping end of the clamping mechanism moves in an arc to the air conditioning pipe when it moves to clamp the air conditioning pipe, the vertical displacement of the clamping end is small when it approaches the air conditioning pipe. This effectively avoids the clamping end from contacting the outer end of the air conditioning pipe during movement, thus preventing damage to the air conditioning pipe caused by collision of the clamping end of the clamping component during the clamping process.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, the placement mechanism includes a mounting base 1 and a fixing block 2. The fixing block 2 is connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1. The fixing block 2 is provided with a first notch for placing the air conditioning pipe. The first notch can cooperate with the clamping mechanism to clamp the air conditioning pipe. The first notch on the fixing block 2 can effectively perform preliminary positioning of the air conditioning pipe, so that the inner wall of the air conditioning pipe fits against the inner wall of the first notch to complete the positioning of the air conditioning pipe. This can effectively improve the clamping accuracy of the air conditioning pipe during subsequent clamping.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping block 3 and two mounting plates 4. The two mounting plates 4 are spaced apart and connected to one end of the mounting base 1. The clamping block 3 is located above the mounting plates 4 and is movable to be spaced apart from the fixing block 2. The end of the clamping block 3 facing the fixing block 2 has a second notch for engaging with the first notch. A driving component is provided between the two mounting plates 4 for driving the clamping block 3 to move along an arc. The driving component can effectively drive the clamping block 3 to move along an arc, thereby moving the second notch to engage with the first notch to complete the clamping of the air conditioning pipe. The mounting plates 4 can also effectively complete the installation of the driving component.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly includes a drive plate 8, a transmission plate 9, a mounting block 10, a rotating plate 11, a connecting plate 12, and a connecting block 13. The connecting block 13 is located between the two mounting plates 4. The locking block 3 is located above the connecting block 13 and connected to it via the mounting block 10. One end of the rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 4, and the other end of the rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 13. One end of the transmission plate 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and the other end of the transmission plate 9 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting block 13 away from the rotating plate 11. One end of the drive plate 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 4 and also rotatably connected to one end of the transmission plate 9. One end of the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating plate 11. The other end of the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the driving plate 8. A driving unit for moving the driving plate 8 is provided below the mounting plate 4. The driving unit drives the driving plate 8 to make a circular motion at its connection point with the mounting plate 4. The connecting plate 12 drives the rotating plate 11 to make a circular motion at its connection point with the mounting plate 4. When the rotating plate 11 rotates, it will drive the connecting block 13 to move. Since the connecting block 13 is rotatably set with the transmission plate 9, the transmission plate 9 can effectively limit the movement path of the connecting block 13, so that the connecting block 13 always remains horizontal and the movement trajectory of the connecting block 13 is arc-shaped. The locking block 3 connected to the mounting block 10 and the connecting block 13 moves with the connecting block 13, so that the locking block 3 can make an arc-shaped movement while maintaining a horizontal position.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the other end of the connecting plate 12 is provided with a first through hole, and the other end of the driving plate 8 is provided with a second through hole. The first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially arranged. The rotating shaft passes through the first through hole and the second through hole. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the driving plate 8 and the connecting plate 12 respectively. The rotating shaft is drively connected to the driving unit. By setting the rotating shaft in the first through hole and the second through hole, the rotational connection between the connecting plate 12 and the driving plate 8 can be effectively completed. Furthermore, by driving the rotating shaft to move through the driving unit, the connecting plate 12 and the driving plate 8 can be effectively moved simultaneously.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the drive unit includes a cylinder 5 and a mounting head 7. The cylinder 5 is located below the mounting base 1 and is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 5 is connected to the mounting head 7. The end of the mounting head 7 away from the cylinder 5 is provided with a third through hole. The third through hole is coaxially arranged with the first through hole. The rotating shaft passes through the third through hole and is rotatably connected to the mounting head 7. The mounting head 7 can be effectively moved by the extension and retraction of the cylinder 5. Since the cylinder 5 is rotatably arranged with the mounting plate 4, the mounting head 7 connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 5 will drive the rotating shaft to move during the extension and retraction of the cylinder 5, thereby driving the drive plate 8 to move.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the force-enhancing pipe clamping mechanism further includes a fixing plate 6. The bottom end of the mounting plate 4 is connected to the fixing plate 6. The fixing plate 6 is provided with a fourth through hole. The outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 5 is provided with a first blind hole corresponding to the fourth through hole. An installation shaft is fixedly installed in the first blind hole. One end of the installation shaft extends into the fourth through hole and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 6. The cylinder 5 can be effectively installed on the fixing plate 6 through the installation shaft to complete the rotatable connection with the mounting plate 4.
