Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of vehicle radiators, and in particular to a radiator cover pressing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Radiators require a cover, which is installed onto the radiator body via a press-fit method. In current technology, cover installation is mostly accomplished using a press-fit machine, which can be automatic or manual. For manual press-fit machines, a quick-release caliper typically moves a lifting plate, with a press-fit head at each end. The quick-release caliper moves the lifting plate up and down, which in turn moves the press-fit heads up and down to achieve the press-fit of the cover.

[0003] Currently, manual caliper press machines generally lack anti-reverse mechanisms. This means that during operation, the block caliper is entirely operated manually to lower the lifting plate, and there is no anti-reverse mechanism during descent. This forces the worker to exert continuous high-intensity force to maintain the caliper's downward pressure, resulting in high labor intensity. Existing anti-reverse mechanisms, particularly ratchet-like ones, require manual locking during caliper reset, which is cumbersome and potentially dangerous. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of current technology, this utility model, based on existing technology and practical application, provides a radiator cover pressing mechanism that offers advantages such as labor-saving operation during cover pressing, automatic anti-retraction, and automatic release.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A radiator cover pressing mechanism includes a mounting bracket, quick-release clamps, and a lifting plate. A pressing head is mounted on the lifting plate. The mounting bracket is also equipped with a travel stop mechanism. The travel stop mechanism includes a horizontal guide rail assembly, a horizontal lateral movement drive structure, a reset component, a stop component, and a positioning component. The stop component includes a movable plate and a stop head. The stop head is mounted on the lifting plate, and the movable plate is mounted on the horizontal guide rail assembly. A rack is provided on the movable plate. The stop head cooperates with the rack to stop the lifting plate from moving backward when it descends. The horizontal lateral movement drive structure is used to push the movable plate to move horizontally along the horizontal guide rail assembly when the lifting plate descends, thereby separating the stop head from the rack. The positioning component is used to lock and position the movable plate, and the reset component is used to reset the movable plate when the positioning component is released.

[0007] Furthermore, the anti-reverse stop includes a mounting base, a plug rod, and an anti-reverse spring. The mounting base is fixed to the lifting plate, the plug rod is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the anti-reverse spring is sleeved on the plug rod to provide a downward force on the plug rod. One side of the bottom of the plug rod is a slope, and the other side is an anti-reverse step.

[0008] Furthermore, the horizontal lateral movement drive structure includes a drive wheel, which is mounted on the lifting plate. One side of the movable plate is a flat surface, and the other side is an inclined surface. The drive wheel is in contact with the side of the movable plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a positioning seat, a positioning rod, a baffle plate, and a positioning spring. A positioning hole is provided on the end face of the movable plate. The positioning seat is fixed on the mounting bracket. The positioning rod is slidably disposed in the positioning seat. The positioning spring is sleeved on the positioning rod to provide a force to the positioning rod in the direction of the movable plate. The positioning rod cooperates with the positioning hole to lock the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a positioning release rod is fixed on the lifting plate, the baffle is connected to the positioning rod, and the positioning contact rod is used to push the baffle to move when the lifting plate moves upward to the limit position, thereby causing the positioning rod to extend out of the positioning hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the reset component includes a reset spring, one end of which is connected to the fixed column of the mounting bracket, and the other end is connected to the movable plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a lower limit rod is provided at the lower part of the mounting bracket, and the lower limit rod is used to limit the lower position of the lifting plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When this utility model is used for pressing and installing the cover of a radiator, the anti-retraction structure can prevent the quick-release calipers from retracting during pressing. In practical applications, it can significantly reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve the pressing efficiency and effect of the cover.

[0015] 2. The anti-reverse structure of this utility model is ingeniously and reasonably designed. During the pressing process, the anti-reverse structure is automatically activated to ensure that it will not retract. When the pressing reaches the limit position, the movable plate is locked, and the anti-reverse stop head is separated from the rack. At this time, the block caliper can automatically reset under the action of the reset component. When it resets to the upper limit position, it automatically releases the movable plate, so that the anti-reverse structure can continue to work during the next pressing. The whole process does not require manual operation of the anti-reverse structure. The anti-reverse structure is automatically controlled by a purely mechanical structure. The structure design is novel and the operation is stable. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0027] This embodiment provides a radiator cover press-fit mechanism, see reference. Figures 1-8 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the press-fitting mechanism.

[0028] The pressing mechanism in this embodiment mainly includes a mounting bracket 9, a quick-release caliper 1, a lifting plate 3, two pressing heads 4, and a stroke stop mechanism. The quick-release caliper 1 is connected to the lifting plate 3. When the quick-release caliper 1 is operated, it can drive the lifting plate 3 to move up and down along the lifting guide rail 2. The two pressing heads 4 are respectively installed at both ends of the lifting plate 3, and press the cover down as the lifting plate 3 descends.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stroke anti-reverse mechanism is mainly used to prevent the pressing head 4 from retracting during the pressing process. It adopts a clever mechanical automatic operation structure, requiring no manual intervention. Referring to the figure, the stroke anti-reverse mechanism mainly includes a horizontal guide rail assembly 10, a horizontal lateral movement drive structure, a reset component, an anti-reverse component, and a positioning component. The anti-reverse component includes a movable plate 11 and an anti-reverse stop 6. The anti-reverse stop 6 is mounted on the lifting plate 3, and the movable plate 11 is mounted on the horizontal guide rail assembly 10. A rack 14 is provided on the movable plate 11.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-reverse stop 6 mainly includes a mounting base 16, a rod 17, and an anti-reverse spring 18. The mounting base 16 is fixed to the lifting plate 3, the rod 17 is slidably disposed within the mounting base 16, and the anti-reverse spring 18 is sleeved on the rod 17 to provide a downward force on the rod 17. One side of the bottom of the rod 17 is a slope, and the other side is an anti-reverse step. In the above structure, when the lifting plate 3 descends during the pressing process, because the rod 17 adopts an elastic telescopic structure design and one side is a slope, the rod 17 can pass through the teeth on the rack 14 through telescopic movement. The other side of the rod 17 is an anti-reverse step, so that the rod 17 can only move downward along the rack 14 and cannot retract, thus realizing the anti-reverse function.

[0031] In the structure provided in this embodiment, although the anti-reverse function can be achieved, the insertion rod 17 is always engaged with the rack 14 in the above-mentioned connected state. Therefore, the insertion rod 17 cannot retract, which will cause the lifting plate 3 to be unable to rise during the pressing process due to the inability to retract. Therefore, it is necessary to release the limit between the insertion rod 17 and the rack 14 to ensure the reset of the pressing mechanism. Therefore, this embodiment provides a horizontal transverse drive mechanism. The horizontal transverse drive structure is mainly used to push the movable plate 11 to move horizontally along the horizontal guide rail assembly 10 when the lifting plate 3 descends, thereby separating the anti-reverse stop head 6 from the rack 14.

[0032] Referring to the figure, the horizontal lateral movement drive structure of this embodiment mainly includes a drive wheel 22, which is mounted on the lifting plate 3. The side of the movable plate 11 is configured as an irregular structure as shown in the figure, with one side being a flat surface 12 and the other side being an inclined surface 13. The drive wheel 22 is in contact with the side of the movable plate 11. In the above structure, as the lifting plate 3 moves downward, the drive wheel 22 runs along the side of the movable plate 11. When the drive wheel 22 passes the inclined surface 13 on the side of the movable plate 11, due to the design of the inclined surface 13, the drive wheel 22 can push the movable plate 11 to move outward along the horizontal guide rail assembly 10. At this time, the rack 14 moves outward with the movable plate 11 until it is pressed to the limit position. At this time, the rack 14 just separates from the insert rod 17 of the anti-reverse stop head 6. At this time, the anti-reverse structure fails, and the lifting plate 3 can retract and reset in this state.

[0033] To ensure that the rack 14 remains separated from the insert rod 17 when the lifting plate 3 retracts, and that the rack 14 returns to its initial engagement position with the insert rod 17 when the lifting plate 3 retracts to its initial position, so that the anti-retraction structure can be used normally in the next operation, this embodiment also designs a positioning component 5 and a reset component.

[0034] The resetting component is mainly a reset spring 8. One end of the reset spring 8 is connected to the fixed column of the mounting bracket 9, and the other end is connected to the movable plate 11. The reset spring 8 applies an inward force to the movable plate. The positioning component 5 includes a positioning seat 19, a positioning rod 21, a baffle 20, and a positioning spring (not shown in the figure, but its structure is similar to the anti-reverse spring 18). A positioning hole 15 is provided on the end face of the movable plate 11. The positioning seat 19 is fixed to the mounting bracket 9. The positioning rod 21 is slidably disposed in the positioning seat 19. The positioning spring is sleeved on the positioning rod 21 to provide a force to the positioning rod 21 in the direction of the movable plate 11. A positioning release rod 23 is fixed on the lifting plate 3.

[0035] In the above structure, when the lifting plate 3 moves downward to its limit position, the movable plate 11 is at its outermost position. At this time, the positioning rod 21 is exactly aligned with the positioning hole 15. The positioning rod 21 is inserted into the positioning hole 15 and locks the movable plate 11 in the horizontal direction, so that the rack 14 and the insertion rod 17 are always separated. In this state, the lifting plate 3 can rise and reset. After the lifting plate 3 rises and resets, the positioning contact rod 23 on the lifting plate 3 pushes the baffle 20 outward, so that the baffle 20 drives the positioning rod 21 to move outward and disengage from the positioning hole 15. At this time, the horizontal limit of the movable plate 11 is released. Under the action of the reset spring 8, the movable plate 11 moves inward in the horizontal direction to reset to the initial state. At the same time, its rack 14 moves to the state of engagement with the insertion rod 17. The entire pressing mechanism reaches the initial state and can be used for the next pressing operation.
