Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchanger recovery, in particular to a heat exchanger separation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The condenser and the evaporator in the air conditioning system are key components in the air conditioning system, and their structures are complex and are mainly composed of copper pipes and aluminum foils. With the upgrading of air conditioning products and the increasing amount of scrap air conditioners, the recycling of waste air conditioner components has become increasingly prominent. Waste air conditioner components, especially U-shaped or L-shaped structures, contain valuable copper pipes and aluminum foils, and have significant recycling value.

[0003] At present, there are many technical solutions for separating copper and aluminum in waste air conditioner components on the market. For example, patent No. 200520005021.9 proposes a heat exchanger copper-aluminum separation device, which separates copper and aluminum by extruding the waste air conditioner components. However, this method can easily cause the aluminum foil to tightly wrap the copper pipe during extrusion, and the copper pipe is also cut, which causes loss and reduces the recycling effect. In the heat exchanger copper-aluminum separation device of patent No. 200710195858.8, a blade is used to cut repeatedly to separate copper and aluminum. Although this method improves the separation efficiency to some extent, it has high repeatability and needs complex pretreatment steps before disassembly, such as cutting the waste air conditioner components into multiple parts and removing the clamps to facilitate disassembly, which undoubtedly increases the operation difficulty and cost.

[0004] In summary, the existing copper-aluminum separation technology for waste air conditioner components has low automation, complex pretreatment, high safety hazards, and low recycling efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing air conditioner component recycling method to overcome the defects of the prior art. SUMMARY

[0006] To overcome the problems in the related art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a heat exchanger separation device installed in a pipeline, which can adjust the form of the cutting structure according to the type of the heat exchanger fed back by the image acquisition device to adapt to the separation requirements of different heat exchangers, improve the separation efficiency of the heat exchanger, and reduce the separation cost of the heat exchanger.

[0007] A heat exchanger separation device comprises:

[0008] A rack is provided with a first conveying line and an image acquisition device, and the image acquisition device is arranged on one side of the first conveying line.

[0009] The rack is also provided with a cutting structure, which comprises an adjusting structure and at least two sets of oppositely arranged cutting knives, and a cutting channel is formed between the two sets of cutting knives.

[0010] The adjusting structure is electrically connected with the image acquisition device, and the adjusting structure adjusts the distance between the two sets of cutting knives according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device.

[0011] The image acquisition device is installed on one side of the first conveying line to capture real-time images of the heat exchanger during conveying. The adjusting structure and the image acquisition device realize information interaction through electrical connection, so that the adjusting structure can automatically adjust the distance between the two sets of cutting knives according to the heat exchanger type information fed back by the image acquisition device, to adapt to the separation needs of heat exchangers of different sizes and types.

[0012] In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is conveyed to the image acquisition device through the first conveying line, the image acquisition device quickly captures the image of the heat exchanger and identifies the type of the heat exchanger through an internal algorithm. Subsequently, this type information is transmitted to the adjusting structure in real time. The adjusting structure quickly adjusts the position and distance of the cutting knives according to the received information, to ensure that the cutting channel matches the structure of the heat exchanger. Finally, when the heat exchanger enters the cutting channel, the cutting knives start to work and complete the precise separation of the heat exchanger. The device realizes rapid and accurate separation of the heat exchanger by real-time identification of the type of the heat exchanger through the image acquisition device and automatic adjustment of the cutting structure. This automatic process greatly shortens the separation time and improves the work efficiency. The traditional heat exchanger separation method often requires manual intervention, which is not only inefficient but also costly. The device of the present application realizes the separation process through automation, reduces labor costs, and avoids losses and waste caused by improper manual operation. Moreover, the device can automatically adjust the cutting structure to adapt to heat exchangers of different types, and has a wide range of applications.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the present application, the adjusting structure is provided with two adjusting driving devices, each including an adjusting driving device and a mounting bracket, and the two adjusting driving devices are arranged above and below the first conveying line, respectively. The output end of each driving device is provided with the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is provided with the cutting knife.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the present application, the cutting knife comprises a cutting wheel and a cutting driving motor, the cutting driving motor is fixed on the mounting bracket, the cutting wheel is arranged on the mounting bracket, the cutting driving motor is connected with the cutting wheel, and the cutting driving motor drives the cutting wheel to rotate.

[0015] Each adjusting structure comprises an adjusting driving device and a mounting rack, the adjusting driving device is responsible for providing power, and the output end thereof is connected with the mounting rack, so as to ensure that the mounting rack can be stably and flexibly moved.

[0016] In actual operation, when the adjusting driving devices in the two adjusting structures obtain the information of the heat exchanger, the adjusting driving devices start to operate according to the obtained information to adjust the positions of the mounting racks, and then adjust the distance between the cutting tools, so as to ensure that the cutting channel is perfectly matched with the structure of the heat exchanger.

[0017] In the preferable technical scheme of the present application, a distance measuring sensor is arranged on each mounting rack and faces the first conveying line.

[0018] The distance measuring sensor provides key distance feedback information for the device. When the heat exchanger enters the device through the first conveying line, the image acquisition device first captures the image thereof and identifies the type, and then the information is transmitted to the adjusting structure. At the same time, the distance measuring sensor also starts to work and continuously measures the actual distance between the heat exchanger and the cutting tool. After the information is comprehensively processed, the adjusting structure can more accurately adjust the position of the cutting tool, so as to ensure that the cutting channel is matched with the structure of the heat exchanger, so that the cutting tool can cut the heat exchanger at the most appropriate angle and force, and realize fast and accurate separation.

[0019] In the preferable technical scheme of the present application, a flattening mechanism is further arranged on the rack and is located upstream of the cutting structure along the conveying direction of the first conveying line.

[0020] The flattening mechanism comprises a flattening rod and a flattening driving device, the flattening driving device is arranged above the first conveying line, the flattening rod is transversely arranged on the first conveying line, the flattening driving device is electrically connected with the image acquisition device, and the flattening mechanism adjusts the height of the flattening rod according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device.

[0021] The flattening rod can flatten the curved copper pipe on the heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger can be laid flat on the first conveying line, and ensure that the heat exchanger can be cut and separated by the cutting structure.

[0022] The flattening rod is horizontally arranged on the first conveying line, and its position and height can be flexibly adjusted according to actual requirements. The flattening driving device is electrically connected with the image acquisition device, which enables the flattening mechanism to automatically adjust the height of the flattening rod according to the heat exchanger type information fed back by the image acquisition device, so as to adapt to heat exchangers of different sizes and shapes. In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is slowly conveyed to the lower side of the flattening mechanism through the first conveying line, the image acquisition device quickly captures the image of the heat exchanger and accurately identifies the type of the heat exchanger through an internal algorithm. Subsequently, this key information is transmitted to the flattening driving device in real time. The flattening driving device accurately adjusts the height of the flattening rod according to the received instructions, so that the flattening rod can closely fit above the heat exchanger. With the slow downward pressure of the flattening rod, the curved copper pipe on the heat exchanger is gradually flattened, and the heat exchanger is laid flat on the first conveying line. This step not only provides great convenience for the subsequent cutting process, but also ensures the accuracy of cutting and the overall separation effect.

[0023] In the preferred technical solution of the present application, a flattening mechanism is further arranged on the rack and located upstream of the cutting structure along the conveying direction of the first conveying line.

[0024] The flattening mechanism comprises a flattening rod and a flattening support plate. The flattening support plate is fixed on the first conveying line, and the flattening support plate is provided with a mounting groove. One end of the flattening rod is in sliding fit with the mounting groove, and the mounting groove is further provided with a locking piece for locking the flattening rod.

[0025] In this embodiment, another adjustment mode of the flattening rod is provided. In this adjustment mode, the position of the flattening rod in the mounting groove can be adjusted manually. After the flattening rod is adjusted in place, it is locked by the locking piece, so that the position of the flattening rod is fixed, and the flattening rod can flatten the heat exchanger.

[0026] In the preferred technical solution of the present application, a locking buckle is further arranged on the first conveying line. The guide rail and the buckle body are fixed on the first conveying line. The length direction of the guide rail is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveying line. The guide rail is provided with a sliding block, and the buckle body is fixed on the sliding block. The buckle body and the first conveying line form a locking position therebetween.

[0027] The guide rail is firmly fixed on the first conveying line, and its length direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the first conveying line. The design of the guide rail not only provides a stable sliding track for the sliding block, but also ensures that the buckle body can displace along the conveying direction of the first conveying line. The sliding block is installed on the guide rail and can smoothly slide along the guide rail. The locking position is used to lock the heat exchanger placed on the first conveying line, so that the heat exchanger will not displace during the flattening and cutting separation processes.

[0028] In a preferred technical solution of the present application, a collection bin is further included, which is arranged below the cutting structure.

[0029] The collection bin is arranged below the cutting structure, corresponding to the position of the cutting tool. Such design ensures that the cut materials (such as aluminum foil) can directly fall into the collection bin, avoiding the scattering and loss of materials. The design of the collection bin can consider the classification and collection needs of materials. For example, it can be divided into multiple areas according to actual needs, each area for collecting different types of materials. For example, one area is used to collect copper pipes, another area is used to collect aluminum foil, etc. In this way, the cut materials can be orderly classified and collected, facilitating subsequent recycling and processing.

[0030] In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is transported to the cutting structure through the first conveying line, then the cutting structure accurately adjusts the position and angle of the cutting tool according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device, and cuts and separates the heat exchanger. After cutting, the cut materials naturally fall into the collection bin below under the action of gravity. Since the collection bin has been divided according to the type of materials, different types of materials will be automatically classified into the corresponding areas.

[0031] In a preferred technical solution of the present application, a second conveying line is further included, which is arranged on the rack and connected to the first conveying line on one side. The top of the second conveying line is provided with a copper pipe cutting device, and the cutting disc is arranged on the copper pipe cutting device.

[0032] The second conveying line is connected to the first conveying line, forming a continuous conveying channel. Such design helps to optimize the entire processing flow and ensures smooth transfer of the heat exchanger from the first conveying line to the second conveying line for subsequent copper pipe cutting processing.

[0033] The copper pipe cutting device is composed of a cutting disc and a driving mechanism. The cutting disc is made of high-hardness and wear-resistant material to ensure cutting accuracy and durability. The driving mechanism provides stable power support for the cutting disc, enabling it to rotate at high speed and cut the copper pipe on the heat exchanger.

[0034] In actual operation, the cutting structure cuts and separates other parts (such as aluminum foil) of the heat exchanger according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device. After cutting, the heat exchanger is released and continues to advance along the first conveying line until entering the second conveying line. On the second conveying line, the heat exchanger is stably conveyed to below the copper pipe cutting device. At this time, the cutting disc of the copper pipe cutting device starts to rotate at high speed and cuts the copper pipe and the side plate on the heat exchanger. The introduction of the second conveying line enables the heat exchanger to continuously and efficiently pass through the entire processing system. At the same time, the accurate cutting of the copper pipe cutting device also greatly improves the processing efficiency and shortens the entire processing cycle.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0036] The heat exchanger separating device provided by the present application comprises a rack, a first conveying line and an image acquisition device are arranged on the rack, and the image acquisition device is arranged on one side of the first conveying line. The rack is also provided with a cutting structure, the cutting structure comprises an adjusting structure and at least two groups of oppositely arranged cutting tools, and a cutting channel is formed between the two groups of cutting tools; the adjusting structure is electrically connected with the image acquisition device, and the adjusting structure adjusts the distance between the two groups of cutting tools according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device. In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is conveyed to below the image acquisition device through the first conveying line, the image acquisition device can quickly capture the image of the heat exchanger and identify the type of the heat exchanger through an internal algorithm. Then, the type information is transmitted to the adjusting structure in real time. The adjusting structure adjusts the position and distance of the cutting tools according to the received information, so as to ensure that the cutting channel matches the structure of the heat exchanger. Finally, when the heat exchanger enters the cutting channel, the cutting tools start to work and complete the accurate separation of the heat exchanger. The device can identify the type of the heat exchanger in real time through the image acquisition device, and automatically adjust the cutting structure, so as to realize the rapid and accurate separation of the heat exchanger. This automatic process greatly shortens the separation time and improves the work efficiency. Moreover, the separation process is realized through automation, which reduces the labor cost and avoids the loss and waste caused by improper manual operation. In addition, since the cutting structure can be automatically adjusted to adapt to different types of heat exchangers, the device has strong adaptability and wide application range.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] Preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0047] At present, there are various technical solutions for separating copper and aluminum from waste heat exchangers on the market. For example, patent No. 200520005021.9 proposes a heat exchanger copper-aluminum separation device, which realizes copper-aluminum separation by extruding the waste heat exchanger. However, this method can easily cause the aluminum foil to tightly wrap the copper pipe during extrusion, and the copper pipe is also cut, which causes loss, which reduces the recovery effect. In the heat exchanger copper-aluminum separation device of patent No. 200710195858.8, a blade is used to cut in a back-and-forth reciprocating manner to realize copper-aluminum separation. Although this method improves the separation efficiency to some extent, it has high repeatability and needs complex pretreatment steps before disassembly, such as cutting the waste heat exchanger into multiple parts and removing the clamping plate to facilitate disassembly, which undoubtedly increases the operation difficulty and cost.

[0048] In summary, the existing waste copper-aluminum separation technology has the problems of low automation degree, complex pretreatment, high safety hazard and low recovery efficiency.

[0049] Based on this, the application provides a heat exchanger separation device.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] As Figures 1-6 shown, the heat exchanger separation device provided by the embodiment comprises:

[0052] Rack mark:

[0053] 1, the rack mark:

[0054] 1 is provided with a first conveying line 2 and an image acquisition device 4, and the image acquisition device 4 is arranged on one side of the first conveying line 2;

[0055] The rack mark:

[0056] 1 is also provided with a cutting structure 8, which comprises an adjusting structure and at least two groups of oppositely arranged cutting knives 83, and a cutting channel 11 is formed between the two groups of cutting knives 83.

[0057] The adjusting structure is electrically connected with the image acquisition device 4, and the adjusting structure adjusts the distance between the two groups of cutting knives 83 according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device 4.

[0058] The image acquisition device 4 is installed on one side of the first conveying line 2, so as to capture real-time images of the heat exchanger during conveying. The adjusting structure and the image acquisition device 4 realize information interaction through electrical connection, so that the adjusting structure can automatically adjust the distance between the two groups of cutting knives 83 according to the heat exchanger type information fed back by the image acquisition device 4, so as to adapt to the separation requirements of heat exchangers of different sizes and types.

[0059] In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is transported to below the image acquisition device 4 through the first conveying line 2, the image acquisition device 4 can quickly capture the image of the heat exchanger and identify the type of the heat exchanger through internal algorithms. Subsequently, this type information is transmitted to the adjustment structure in real time. The adjustment structure quickly adjusts the position and distance of the cutting tool 83 according to the received information, ensuring that the cutting channel 11 matches the structure of the heat exchanger. Finally, when the heat exchanger enters the cutting channel 11, the cutting tool 83 starts working to complete the precise separation of the heat exchanger. The device realizes the rapid and precise separation of the heat exchanger by identifying the type of the heat exchanger through the image acquisition device 4 and automatically adjusting the cutting structure 8. This automatic process greatly shortens the separation time and improves work efficiency. Traditional heat exchanger separation methods often require manual intervention, which is not only inefficient but also costly. The device of the present application realizes the separation process through automation, reducing labor costs and avoiding losses and waste caused by improper manual operation. Moreover, the device can automatically adjust the cutting structure 8 to adapt to different types of heat exchangers, with a wide range of applications.

[0060] In the present embodiment, a collection bin 5 is also included, which is arranged below the cutting structure.

[0061] The collection bin is arranged below the cutting structure, corresponding to the position of the cutting tool 83. Such a design ensures that the cut materials (such as aluminum foil) can directly fall into the collection bin 5, avoiding the scattering and loss of materials. The design of the collection bin 5 can consider the classification and collection needs of materials. For example, it can be divided into multiple areas according to actual needs, each area for collecting different types of materials. For example, one area is used to collect copper pipes, and another area is used to collect aluminum foil, etc. In this way, the cut materials can be orderly classified and collected, facilitating subsequent recycling and processing.

[0062] In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is transported to the cutting structure through the first conveying line 2, then the cutting structure accurately adjusts the position and angle of the cutting tool 83 according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device 4 to cut and separate the heat exchanger. After cutting, the cut materials naturally fall into the collection bin 5 below under the action of gravity. Since the collection bin 5 has been divided according to the type of materials, different types of materials will be automatically classified into the corresponding areas.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] This embodiment is an improvement based on embodiment 1.

[0065] As Figures 1-6As shown, in the embodiment, the adjustment structure is provided with two, each including an adjustment driving device 81 and a mounting frame 82, two adjustment driving devices 81 are respectively arranged above and below the first conveying line 2, and the output end of each driving device is provided with the mounting frame 82, and the mounting frame 82 is provided with the cutting tool 83.

[0066] More specifically, in the embodiment, the cutting tool 83 includes a cutting wheel and a cutting driving motor, the cutting driving motor is fixed on the mounting frame 82, the cutting wheel is arranged on the mounting, the cutting driving motor is connected with the cutting wheel, and the cutting driving motor drives the cutting wheel to rotate. The cutting driving motor can be a servo motor.

[0067] Each adjustment structure provided by the embodiment includes an adjustment driving device 81 and a mounting frame 82, the adjustment driving device 81 is responsible for providing power, and the output end thereof is connected with the mounting frame 82, so as to ensure that the mounting frame 82 can be stably and flexibly moved. The cutting tool 83 on the mounting frame 82 can be accurately positioned at the cutting position of the heat exchanger under the driving of the adjustment driving device 81.

[0068] In actual operation, after the adjustment driving devices 81 in the two adjustment structures obtain the information of the heat exchanger, the adjustment driving devices 81 start to operate according to the obtained information to adjust the positions of the mounting frames 82, so as to adjust the distance between the cutting tools 83, and ensure that the cutting channel 11 is perfectly matched with the structure of the heat exchanger. Finally, when the heat exchanger enters the cutting channel 11, the cutting driving motor drives the cutting wheel to rotate at high speed, and the rapid and accurate separation of the heat exchanger is completed.

[0069] Embodiment 3

[0070] The embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 2.

[0071] As Figures 1-6 shown, in the embodiment, each mounting frame 82 is provided with a distance measuring sensor 10, and the distance measuring sensor is arranged towards the first conveying line 2.

[0072] The introduction of the distance measuring sensor 10 provides the device with key distance feedback information. When the heat exchanger enters the device through the first conveying line 2, the image acquisition device 4 first captures the image and identifies the type, and then the information is transmitted to the adjustment structure. At the same time, the distance measuring sensor 10 also starts to work, and continuously measures the actual distance between the heat exchanger and the cutting tool 83. After these information is comprehensively processed, the adjustment structure can more accurately adjust the position of the cutting tool 83, so as to ensure that the cutting channel 11 is matched with the structure of the heat exchanger, so that the cutting tool 83 can cut the heat exchanger at the most appropriate angle and force, and rapid and accurate separation is realized.

[0073] The ranging sensor 10 of this application can be a laser ranging sensor 10 or an infrared ranging sensor 10.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1.

[0076] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, a flattening mechanism 3 is also included, which is disposed on the frame reference numerals:

[0077] 1. On the upper part of the cutting structure, and along the conveying direction of the first conveying line 2, the flattening mechanism 3 is located upstream of the cutting structure;

[0078] The flattening mechanism 3 includes a flattening rod 32 and a flattening drive device. The flattening drive device is disposed above the first conveyor line 2. The flattening rod 32 spans across the first conveyor line 2. The flattening drive device is electrically connected to the image acquisition device 4. The flattening mechanism 3 adjusts the height of the flattening rod 32 according to the feedback information from the image acquisition device 4.

[0079] The flattening rod 32 can flatten the bent copper tubes on the heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger can be laid flat on the first conveyor line 2, ensuring that the heat exchanger can be cut and separated by the cutting structure 8.

[0080] The flattening rod 32 spans across the first conveyor line 2, and its position and height can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. The flattening drive device is electrically connected to the image acquisition device 4, which allows the flattening mechanism 3 to automatically adjust the height of the flattening rod 32 based on the heat exchanger type information fed back by the image acquisition device 4, to adapt to heat exchangers of different sizes and shapes. In actual operation, when the heat exchanger is slowly conveyed to the flattening mechanism 3 via the first conveyor line 2, the image acquisition device 4 quickly captures its image and accurately identifies the type of heat exchanger through its internal algorithm. Subsequently, this crucial information is transmitted to the flattening drive device in real time. According to the received instructions, the flattening drive device precisely adjusts the height of the flattening rod 32 so that it fits tightly against the top of the heat exchanger. As the flattening rod 32 slowly presses down, the bent copper tubes on the heat exchanger are gradually flattened, and the entire heat exchanger is laid flat on the first conveyor line 2. This step not only greatly facilitates the subsequent cutting process but also ensures the accuracy of the cutting and the overall separation effect.

[0081] Example 5

[0082] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1.

[0083] like Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a different implementation of the flattening mechanism 3 is provided, which is different from that in Embodiment 4.

[0084] Specifically, the flattening mechanism 3 is arranged on the rack as shown in the figure:

[0085] 1, and along the conveying direction of the first conveying line 2, the flattening mechanism 3 is located upstream of the cutting structure;

[0086] The flattening mechanism 3 comprises a flattening rod 32 and a flattening support plate 31 fixed on the first conveying line 2, and the flattening support plate 31 is provided with a mounting groove 311, one end of the flattening rod 32 is in sliding fit with the mounting groove 311, and the mounting groove 311 is further provided with a locking member for locking the flattening rod 32.

[0087] In this embodiment, another adjustment mode for manually adjusting the position of the flattening rod 32 is provided, in which the position of the flattening rod 32 in the mounting groove 311 can be adjusted manually, and after the flattening rod 32 is adjusted in place, the locking member is used for locking, so that the position of the flattening rod 32 is fixed, so that the flattening rod 32 can flatten the heat exchanger.

[0088] Embodiment 6

[0089] This embodiment is improved on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0090] As shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the first conveying line 2 is further provided with a lock 9, a guide rail 91 and a buckle body 93, the guide rail 91 is fixed on the first conveying line 2, the length direction of the guide rail 91 is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveying line 2, the guide rail 91 is provided with a sliding block 92, the buckle body 93 is fixed on the sliding block 92, and the locking position 94 is formed between the buckle body 93 and the first conveying line 2.

[0091] The guide rail 91 is firmly fixed on the first conveying line 2, and the length direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying line. The design of the guide rail 91 not only provides a stable sliding track for the sliding block 92, but also ensures that the buckle body 93 can displace along the conveying line direction. The sliding block 92 is installed on the guide rail 91 and can smoothly slide along the guide rail 91. The locking position 94 is used to lock the heat exchanger placed on the first conveying line 2, so that the heat exchanger will not displace during the flattening and cutting separation process.

[0092] The buckle body 93 can be hinged with the sliding block 92 to facilitate opening. The buckle body 93 can be configured with a hydraulic device inside to provide locking force to ensure that the copper pipe does not move during cutting.

[0093] It should be noted that the lock 9 mechanism provides sufficient locking force to ensure that the heat exchanger copper pipe does not move or shake during cutting, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cutting.

[0094] Embodiment 7

[0095] This embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiment 1.

[0096] As Figures 1-6 shown in this embodiment, the separation device further includes a second conveying line 6, which is arranged on the rack marked

[0097] 1, and one side is connected with the first conveying line 2. Above the second conveying line 6, a copper pipe cutting device 7 is arranged, and a cutting disc 71 is arranged on the copper pipe cutting device 7.

[0098] The second conveying line 6 is connected with the first conveying line 2, forming a continuous conveying channel. Such design helps to optimize the entire processing flow and also ensures that the heat exchanger can be smoothly transferred from the first conveying line 2 to the second conveying line 6 for subsequent copper pipe cutting processing.

[0099] The copper pipe cutting device 7 is composed of a cutting disc 71 and a driving mechanism. The cutting disc 71 is made of high-hardness and wear-resistant material to ensure the accuracy and durability of cutting. The driving mechanism provides stable power support for the cutting disc 71, enabling it to rotate at high speed and cut the copper pipe on the heat exchanger.

[0100] In actual operation, the cutting structure cuts and separates other parts of the heat exchanger (such as aluminum foil, etc.) according to the feedback information of the image acquisition device 4. After cutting, the heat exchanger is released and continues to advance along the first conveying line 2 until it enters the second conveying line 6. On the second conveying line 6, the heat exchanger is stably conveyed to the lower side of the copper pipe cutting device 7. At this time, the cutting disc 71 of the copper pipe cutting device 7 starts to rotate at high speed and cuts the copper pipe and the side plate of the heat exchanger. The introduction of the second conveying line 6 enables the heat exchanger to continuously and efficiently pass through the entire processing system. At the same time, the accurate cutting of the copper pipe cutting device 7 also greatly improves the processing efficiency and shortens the entire processing cycle.

[0101] Embodiment 8

[0102] This embodiment provides a separation method of a heat exchanger, which is implemented based on the heat exchanger separation device as described above.

[0103] As Figures 1-7 shown, the separation method of the heat exchanger includes the following steps:

[0104] S100, acquiring the structural features of the heat exchanger to be separated;

[0105] First, the heat exchanger to be separated is placed on the first conveying line 2, the copper pipe is locked with the lock 9, and the image acquisition device 4 in the device is started. The image acquisition device 4 can be a high-resolution camera or other optical sensor, which can capture detailed images of the heat exchanger. Through internal algorithms, the image is processed and analyzed to accurately obtain the structural characteristics of the heat exchanger, including its size, shape, material, and relative position relationship between parts, etc. It should be noted that the internal algorithm described in this application is prior art, which will not be described here.

[0106] S200, according to the structural characteristics of the heat exchanger to be separated, adjust the distance between the two groups of cutting tools 83;

[0107] The structural characteristics of the heat exchanger obtained by the control system will automatically calculate the optimal distance between the two groups of cutting tools 83. This distance is determined according to the specific size of the heat exchanger and the part to be separated, to ensure that the cutting tools 83 can accurately cut to the target position, such as cutting the aluminum sheet of the heat exchanger. Then, the control system will drive the adjustment mechanism of the cutting tools 83, so that the distance between the two groups of cutting tools 83 is adjusted to the calculated optimal value.

[0108] S300, using the adjusted cutting tools 83 to separate the heat exchanger.

[0109] After the cutting tools 83 are adjusted, the first conveying line 2 will convey the heat exchanger to the cutting area. At this time, the cutting tools 83 will start and begin to cut the heat exchanger. Since the distance between the cutting tools 83 has been accurately adjusted according to the structural characteristics of the heat exchanger, the cutting process will be very accurate, which can ensure that the heat exchanger is accurately separated into the required parts.

[0110] Before cutting, the heat exchanger will pass through the flattening mechanism 3, which will flatten the L-shaped or U-shaped heat exchanger copper pipe, so that the entire heat exchanger will be laid flat on the first conveying line 2, to ensure that the cutting tools 83 can separate different parts of the heat exchanger.

[0111] This method obtains the structural characteristics of the heat exchanger through the image acquisition device, and accurately adjusts the distance between the cutting tools according to these characteristics, which realizes the efficient and accurate separation of the heat exchanger. This greatly improves the separation efficiency and separation quality. This method can handle heat exchangers of different sizes, shapes and materials, and only needs to adjust the distance between the cutting tools to adapt to different separation requirements. This makes the method have wide applicability and flexibility. Moreover, the entire separation process is almost completely controlled by an automatic control system, greatly reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. At the same time, it also improves the stability and reliability of the separation process.
