[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, a control device for the brazing heating process of copper tubes includes a processing table 1, on which a protective box 2 is fixedly installed. The protective box 2 has an inlet 4, and a copper tube body 5 is placed inside the inlet 4. The copper tube body 5 is placed inside the protective box 2 through the inlet 4, and brazing is performed on the copper tube body 5 within the protective box 2. The protective box 2 has an observation port 3, which is made of a high-temperature resistant transparent material; in this embodiment, it is a transparent ceramic material. The observation port 3 allows workers to easily observe the processing progress within the protective box 2. A heating resistance coil 17 is fixedly installed inside the protective box 2, through which the copper tube body 5 passes. The brazing portion of the copper tube body 5 is located within the heating resistance coil 17. Limiting components are installed inside and outside the protective box 2. These limiting components are adjustable and can accommodate copper tube bodies 5 of various sizes. The clamping limit is set; a temperature sensor 11 is fixedly installed inside the protective box 2. The temperature sensor 11 is used to monitor the temperature of the part of the copper tube body 5 set inside the heating resistance coil 17, that is, the temperature of the area near the brazing; in this embodiment, the temperature sensor 11 is a non-contact infrared sensor. In specific implementation, in order to increase the stability of the temperature sensor 11 monitoring, it can be replaced with a contact sensor. It is necessary to manually or add a driving device to drive the contact sensor contact with the copper tube body 5; an electric annular atomizing nozzle 12 is set above the heating resistance coil 17. The copper tube body 5 passes through the electric annular atomizing nozzle 12. A nitrogen tank 6 is fixedly installed on the processing table 1. A connecting pipe is fixedly installed between the electric annular atomizing nozzle 12 and the nitrogen tank 6; a mounting bracket 15 is fixedly set on the processing table 1. The nitrogen tank 6 is fixedly set on the mounting bracket 15.

[0026] As one embodiment of this invention, the limiting component includes a limiting block 10, an adjusting rod 9, and a connecting rod 13. Two pairs of limiting blocks 10 and adjusting rods 9 are provided. The limiting blocks 10 are located on both sides of the copper tube body 5. The adjusting rod 9 is L-shaped, with one end fixedly connected to the limiting block 10 and the other end extending out of the protective box 2 and fixedly connected to the connecting rod 13. The protective box 2 has two pairs of guide grooves 8, and the adjusting rod 9 is slidably disposed within the guide grooves 8. A pair of connecting rods 13 are provided; the adjusting rod 9 located on the same side of the copper tube body 5 is fixedly connected to one connecting rod 13. The limiting component also includes a motor 7, a bidirectional screw 16, and threaded blocks 14. A pair of threaded blocks 14 are provided for fixing... The bidirectional screw 16 is rotatably mounted on the processing table 1 at the end of the connecting rod 13. A pair of threaded blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged in opposite thread regions of the bidirectional screw 16. The motor 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 16 to drive the rotation of the bidirectional screw 16, thereby causing the pair of threaded blocks 14 to move towards each other. The movement of the pair of threaded blocks 14 causes the pair of connecting rods 13 to move towards each other. The adjusting rod 9 drives the limiting block 10 to move towards each other until the copper tube body 5 is clamped. Two sets of telescopic rods 18 are provided inside the protective box 2. One end of the telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the protective box 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 9, which further restricts the stability of the movement of the limiting block 10.

[0027] In one embodiment of this invention, the motor 7, the electric annular atomizing nozzle 12, and the heating resistance coil 17 are integrated and controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC). After the copper tube body 5 is installed in the protective box 2, the motor 7 is started to move the limit block 10 to limit the copper tube body 5. Then, the heating resistance coil 17 is started to perform brazing on the copper tube body 5. When the temperature sensor 11 detects that the brazing temperature of the copper tube body 5 exceeds the predetermined value, the electric annular atomizing nozzle 12 is started to spray nitrogen gas onto the brazing area of ​​the copper tube body 5 to cool the brazing area and increase the stability of the brazing.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In use, the copper tube body 5 is first placed in the protective box 2 through the feed port 4. The part of the copper tube body 5 to be brazed is placed in the heating resistance coil 17. Then, the limiting component is activated to limit the copper tube body 5. That is, the motor 7 is started to drive the rotation of the bidirectional screw 16, which drives a pair of threaded blocks 14 to move towards each other. The movement of the pair of threaded blocks 14 drives a pair of connecting rods 13 to move towards each other. Through the transmission of the adjusting rod 9, the limiting block 10 moves towards each other until the copper tube body 5 is clamped. Then, the heating resistance coil 17 is activated to perform brazing on the copper tube body 5. When the temperature sensor 11 detects that the brazing temperature of the copper tube body 5 exceeds the predetermined value, the electric annular atomizing nozzle 12 is activated to spray nitrogen gas onto the brazing part of the copper tube body 5 to cool the brazing part.
