Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of radiator production equipment, specifically to the water chamber clamp of a radiator pressing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Radiators are commonly used in automotive cooling systems. Radiators are typically square-shaped and consist of several parts, including a water chamber (inlet / outlet chamber), a radiator core (composed of alternating cooling fins and pipes), a main plate, and side plates. During assembly, the side plates on both sides secure the cooling fins and pipes, while the main plates at both ends secure the cooling fins and pipes with snap-fit connections. The main plates at both ends are then crimped into the inlet and outlet chambers, respectively.
[0003] A radiator crimping machine is a device used to assemble the radiator core, which connects the mainboard and side panels, to the water chamber. Currently, before a radiator crimping machine can operate, the water chamber is manually positioned and crimped for assembly, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a water chamber clamp for a radiator clamping machine, which is used to clamp the water chamber for subsequent placement and positioning, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0006] The water chamber clamp of the radiator crimping machine includes a frame, a clamping cavity and a clamping device. The clamping cavity is arranged laterally on the frame and has openings at the front and rear ends and a side opening.
[0007] The clamping device includes a front and rear clamping mechanism, an upper and lower clamping mechanism and a side-opening clamping mechanism. The front and rear clamping mechanism consists of clamping plates disposed at the front and rear ends of the clamping cavity.

[0009] The side-opening clamping mechanism includes two sets of side-opening clamping assemblies symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the clamping cavity. Each side-opening clamping assembly includes a clamping plate and a clamping plate driving device connected to the clamping plate. Under the drive of the clamping plate driving device, the clamping plate can clamp the side openings at both ends of the clamping cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping block assembly includes a cylinder, a rotating shaft, and a movable block; the cylinder is located below the mounting groove, and the middle part of the movable block is movably mounted in the mounting groove of the clamp cavity via the rotating shaft, the piston rod of the cylinder is directly opposite the inner end of the movable block, and the outer end of the movable block is a pressing head.
[0011] Furthermore, the clamping plate driving device includes a first slide cylinder, a second slide cylinder, and a guide block. The first slide cylinder is mounted on the frame and located outside the clamping plate. The guide block is installed at the first slide end of the first slide cylinder and has a guide hole. The second slide cylinder is installed on the side of the first slide of the first slide cylinder. One section of the clamping plate is connected to the side of the second slide of the second slide cylinder, and the other section of the clamping plate corresponds to the position of the guide hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the second slide cylinder is mounted on the side of the first slide of the first slide cylinder via a connecting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping plate has a bent connecting portion, which is connected to the frame; the frame is provided with mounting holes at intervals, and the bent connecting portion is connected to the frame through the mounting holes using fasteners.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] refer to Figure 1-3 The water chamber clamp of the radiator crimping machine includes a frame 1, a clamping cavity 2 and a clamping device. The clamping cavity 2 is horizontally arranged on the frame 1 and has openings at the front and rear ends and a side opening.
[0025] The clamping device includes a front and rear clamping mechanism, an upper and lower clamping mechanism, and a side-opening clamping mechanism. The front and rear clamping mechanism consists of clamping plates 3 located at the front and rear ends of the clamping cavity 2. The clamping plates 3 have bent connecting parts that are connected to the frame 1. The frame 1 has mounting holes spaced apart, and the bent connecting parts are connected to the frame 1 through the mounting holes using fasteners.
[0026] The clamping cavity 2 is provided with multiple mounting slots at intervals. The upper and lower clamping mechanism includes multiple clamping block assemblies provided on the mounting slots. The clamping block assembly includes a cylinder 41, a rotating shaft 43 and a movable block 42. The cylinder 41 is located below the mounting slot. The middle part of the movable block 42 is movably installed in the mounting slot of the clamping cavity 2 through the rotating shaft 43. The piston rod of the cylinder 41 is directly opposite the inner end of the movable block 42. The outer end of the movable block 42 is a pressing head.
[0027] The side-opening clamping mechanism includes two sets of side-opening clamping assemblies symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the clamping cavity 2. Each side-opening clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 3 and a clamping plate driving device connected to the clamping plate 3. Under the drive of the clamping plate driving device, the clamping plate 3 can clamp the side openings at both ends of the clamping cavity 2. Specifically, the clamping plate driving device includes a first slide cylinder 51, a second slide cylinder 52, and a guide block 53. The first slide cylinder 51 is mounted on the frame 1 and located outside the clamping plate 3. The guide block 53 is installed at the end of the first slide 511 of the first slide cylinder 51 and has a guide hole 531. The second slide cylinder 52 is installed on the side of the first slide 511 of the first slide cylinder 51 through a connecting plate 522. One section of the clamping plate 3 is connected to the side of the second slide 521 of the second slide cylinder 52, and the other section of the clamping plate 3 corresponds to the position of the guide hole 531.
[0028] In use, adjust the position of clamping plate 3 according to the length of the water chamber, then place the water chamber into the clamping cavity 2. The piston rod of cylinder 41 of the upper and lower clamping mechanism pushes upward, the rear end of the movable pressure block 42 tilts up, and the front end presses downward, thereby pressing the water chamber downward. The end of the first slide 511 of the first slide cylinder 51 of the side-opening clamping mechanism extends outward to a suitable position, and then the second slide 521 of the second slide cylinder 52 moves towards the center of the water chamber, thereby driving the clamping plate 3 to pass through the guide hole 531 and limit and fix the left and right ends of the water chamber laterally.
[0029] The clamping cavity of this utility model has a front and rear clamping mechanism, an upper and lower clamping mechanism and a side opening clamping mechanism, which can automatically clamp the water chamber to be assembled in all directions for subsequent placement and positioning, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
