Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to radiator manufacturing technical field, concretely relates to a radiator elbow mistake proofing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Air conditioner is indispensable equipment in modern society, and at present most air conditioner radiators use aluminum sheet plus copper pipe, each copper pipe is welded by elbow and welding rod, and the air conditioner copper pipe plays the role of conducting refrigerant in the air conditioner operation process.

[0003] However, since the copper pipe is more, the required elbow is also more, in actual production, the elbow setting position is not matched or the elbow is missed, and the defect seriously influences the air conditioner performance, and the direct scrap cost is higher. At present, the setting mode of the elbow is observed by manual observation, and the problems of low efficiency and inaccurate detection exist. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model discloses a radiator elbow mistake proofing device, which can quickly and accurately determine whether the radiator elbow is set correctly, and has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] A radiator elbow mistake proofing device is provided, the end of the radiator is connected with a plurality of elbows, and a vacancy area is left between the arrangement of the plurality of elbows. The elbows of the radiator are basically arranged on the two ends of the radiator. Due to the heat dissipation requirement, not all of the radiator is arranged with the elbow, and a vacancy area is reserved in a specific area. The elbow cannot be arranged in the vacancy area, otherwise the use effect of the radiator will be affected,

[0007] The detection device comprises:

[0008] The support plate extends a plurality of mistake proofing baffle strips, each mistake proofing baffle strip is clamped into the vacancy area, and the elbow is exposed outside the mistake proofing baffle strip. When the mistake proofing baffle strip is matched with the vacancy area and the distribution position of the elbow outside the mistake proofing baffle strip is correct, it indicates that the radiator elbow is set correctly.

[0009] The support plate provides a mounting position for the mistake proofing baffle strip. When in use, the mistake proofing baffle strip can be clamped into the vacancy area at the end of the radiator by holding the support plate, so that the elbow is exposed outside the mistake proofing baffle strip.

[0010] The anti-error baffle strip is arranged on the support plate, and different positions of the shielding plate body are arranged according to different models of the radiator. The shielding plate body is clamped into the empty area at the end of the radiator. On the one hand, whether the empty area is wrongly placed with the elbow can be judged according to whether the anti-error baffle strip can be clamped into the empty area. When the anti-error baffle strip cannot be clamped into the empty area, it indicates that the empty area is wrongly placed with the elbow. Then, the elbows are exposed outside the anti-error baffle strip under the shielding of the shielding plate body, which is more convenient for clearly observing whether there is an incorrectly placed elbow.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support plate is a straight plate body, and the anti-error baffle strip is arranged on one side of the straight plate body.

[0012] The support plate is arranged as a straight plate body, which can facilitate the arrangement of the anti-error baffle strip on the side of the straight plate body. The straight plate body with the anti-error baffle strip arranged thereon is placed close to the end of the radiator, so that the shielding plate body can be quickly clamped into the empty area.

[0013] In some embodiments, one end of the anti-error baffle strip is connected to the straight plate body, and the other end of the anti-error baffle strip is inclined to one side of the empty area.

[0014] Since the shielding plate body is inclined to one side of the empty area, it is more convenient for manual clamping of the anti-error baffle strip into the empty area, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0015] In some embodiments, the included angle between the anti-error baffle strip and the straight plate body is obtuse.

[0016] The included angle between the baffle strip and the straight plate body is arranged as an obtuse angle, which facilitates the clamping of the anti-error baffle strip into the empty area. If the included angle between the baffle strip and the straight plate body is arranged as an acute angle, it is not convenient to clamp the anti-error baffle strip.

[0017] In some embodiments, the obtuse angle is greater than 120°.

[0018] When the obtuse angle is greater than 120°, it is easier to clamp. Exemplarily, the obtuse angle is 120°.

[0019] In some embodiments, the straight plate body has the anti-error baffle strip arranged on one side thereof, and a handle arranged on the other side thereof.

[0020] The handle is used to hold the anti-error baffle strip. Since the straight plate body has the anti-error baffle strip arranged on one side thereof and the handle arranged on the other side thereof, pushing the anti-error baffle strip forward while holding the handle can conveniently place the anti-error baffle strip into the empty area.

[0021] In some embodiments, the handle is a straight handle.

[0022] In some embodiments, the extension length of the anti-misalignment baffle strip is not less than the length of the short side of the end of the radiator.

[0023] Since the extension length of the anti-mistake baffle strip is not less than the short side length of the end of the radiator, the anti-mistake baffle strip can cover the entire missing area, avoiding the problem of the missing area being exposed and affecting the observation effect or causing missed detection.

[0024] In some embodiments, the plane on which the straight handle is located is the same as the plane on which the straight plate is located.

[0025] Since the plane where the straight handle is located is the same as the plane where the straight plate is located, the anti-misalignment baffle strip can be better controlled to fit into the missing area.

[0026] In some embodiments, both the straight plate and the anti-misalignment baffle strip have white surfaces.

[0027] Since the radiator has a metallic color, the straight plate and the anti-misalignment baffle are both set to white, which helps to easily distinguish the heat dissipation elbow.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model's anti-misalignment device for radiator elbows are as follows:

[0029] This utility model discloses a radiator elbow anti-misalignment device, which has an anti-misalignment baffle strip on the support plate. Different baffles need to be set in different positions for different models of radiators. By inserting the baffle into the empty area at the end of the radiator, it can be determined whether the elbow is misplaced in the empty area based on whether the anti-misalignment baffle strip can be inserted into the empty area. If the anti-misalignment baffle strip cannot be inserted into the empty area, it means that the elbow is misplaced in the empty area. Then, under the cover of the baffle, the elbow is exposed outside the anti-misalignment baffle strip, making it easier to clearly observe whether there is an incorrectly installed elbow.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Air conditioning is an indispensable device in modern life. Currently, most air conditioner radiators are made of aluminum fins and copper pipes. Each copper pipe is welded together with elbows and welding rods. The copper pipes play an indispensable role in the operation of the air conditioner by conducting refrigerant.

[0044] However, due to the large number of copper pipes, a large number of elbows are required. In actual production, mismatched elbow placement or omissions are common. These defects severely affect air conditioning performance and result in high costs for scrapping the units. Currently, the main method is to manually inspect the elbow placement, which is inefficient and inaccurate.

[0045] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment discloses a radiator elbow anti-misalignment device. The radiator has several elbows connected to its ends, with gaps between the elbows. The elbows are primarily located at both ends of the radiator. However, due to heat dissipation requirements, not the entire radiator is equipped with elbows; specific gaps are reserved where elbows cannot be installed, otherwise the radiator's performance will be affected.

[0046] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the detection device includes:

[0047] A support plate 1 extends from which several anti-misalignment baffle strips 2 are inserted into the vacant area. The elbow is exposed outside the anti-misalignment baffle strips 2. When the anti-misalignment baffle strips 2 are compatible with the vacant area and the elbows outside the anti-misalignment baffle strips 2 are correctly distributed, it indicates that the radiator elbow is set correctly.

[0048] The support plate 1 provides an installation position for the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2. When in use, the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 can be inserted into the empty area at the end of the radiator by holding the support plate 1, so that the elbow is exposed outside the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2.

[0049] It has a misalignment prevention strip 2 set on the support plate 1. Different models of radiators require different positions of the shielding plate. By inserting the shielding plate into the empty area at the end of the radiator, it can be determined whether the empty area has an incorrectly placed elbow based on whether the misalignment prevention strip 2 can be inserted into the empty area. If the misalignment prevention strip 2 cannot be inserted into the empty area, it means that the empty area has an incorrectly placed elbow. Then, under the cover of the shielding plate, the elbow is exposed outside the misalignment prevention strip 2, making it easier to clearly observe whether there is an incorrectly placed elbow.

[0050] Right now,

[0051] The radiator has elbows at both ends, but not the entire radiator has elbows.

[0052] There are reserved blank areas on the radiator, and elbows cannot be installed in these areas to avoid affecting the performance of the radiator.

[0053] The support plate 1 serves as the base of the detection device and is used to install the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2.

[0054] The anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 extends from the support plate 1 and is used to snap into the empty area at the end of the radiator.

[0055] After the elbow exposed baffle strip is inserted into the missing area, the elbow will be exposed outside the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2.

[0056] By inserting the anti-misalignment baffle 2 into the empty area, check whether the anti-misalignment baffle 2 fits the empty area. Check whether the elbows outside the anti-misalignment baffle 2 are evenly distributed. If the anti-misalignment baffle 2 fits the empty area and the elbows are evenly distributed, it indicates that the radiator elbows are set correctly. If the anti-misalignment baffle 2 cannot be inserted into the empty area, it indicates that the elbows in that area may be incorrectly placed. By holding the support plate 1, the anti-misalignment baffle 2 can be inserted into the empty area at the end of the radiator, so that the elbows are exposed outside the anti-misalignment baffle 2, making it easy to observe and check whether there are incorrectly placed elbows.

[0057] In this embodiment, the support plate 1 is a straight plate, and the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 is disposed on one side of the straight plate.

[0058] If the support plate 1 is set as a straight plate, it is easy to set the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 on the side of the straight plate. By placing the straight plate with the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 on it against the end of the radiator, the baffle plate can be quickly inserted into the empty area.

[0059] That is, the support plate 1 is designed as a straight plate, which simplifies the structure and facilitates manufacturing and use. The anti-misalignment baffle 2 is set on the side of the straight plate, which allows the anti-misalignment baffle 2 to directly contact the empty area at the end of the heat sink. Since the support plate 1 is a straight plate, the user can easily move the straight plate with the anti-misalignment baffle 2 towards the end of the heat sink.

[0060] This design makes inserting the anti-misalignment baffle 2 into the empty area faster and more direct. Users simply need to bring the plate close to the end of the heatsink, and the anti-misalignment baffle 2 will quickly snap into the empty area, enabling rapid detection. This quick-insertion design helps improve detection efficiency and reduce operation time.

[0061] In this embodiment, one end of the anti-mistake baffle strip 2 is connected to the straight plate body, and the other end of the anti-mistake baffle strip 2 is inclined to the side of the empty area.

[0062] Because the shielding plate is tilted towards the empty area, it is easier for manual insertion of the anti-misoperation shielding strip 2 into the empty area, which helps to improve the efficiency of detection.

[0063] Right now,

[0064] The anti-misalignment baffle 2 is tilted towards the empty area, a design that makes it easier for it to align with the empty area at the end of the radiator. The tilted baffle 2 reduces the difficulty of alignment during manual operation, as the tilt angle naturally guides it into the empty area. Due to the tilted design, the baffle 2 can engage with the empty area more quickly, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual operation.

[0065] This design helps improve the efficiency of the overall inspection process, especially when multiple heat sinks need to be inspected quickly.

[0066] The inclined error-proof baffle 2 reduces installation errors caused by improper alignment, thereby reducing potential errors during the inspection process. The inclined design allows the error-proof baffle 2 to adapt to gaps of different shapes and sizes, increasing the versatility of the inspection device.

[0067] Taking ergonomics into account, the tilted anti-misoperation baffle strip 2 is more in line with the natural hand gestures of human operation, making operation more comfortable and effortless.

[0068] In this embodiment, the angle between the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 and the straight plate is an obtuse angle.

[0069] Setting the angle between the baffle strip and the straight plate to an obtuse angle makes it easier for the anti-mistake baffle strip 2 to be inserted into the empty area. If the angle between the baffle strip and the straight plate is set to an acute angle, it will be difficult to insert the anti-mistake baffle strip 2.

[0070] In other words, the included angle between the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 and the support plate 1 is crucial to the ease with which the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 can be inserted into the empty area at the end of the radiator. Setting the included angle to an obtuse angle (greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees) provides more space and a better angle, making it easier for the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 to be inserted into the empty area. The obtuse angle design gives the operator more operating space when aligning the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 with the empty area, reducing the requirement for precise alignment.

[0071] In this embodiment, the obtuse angle is greater than 120°.

[0072] When the obtuse angle is greater than 120°, it is easier to get it stuck. For example, the obtuse angle is 120°.

[0073] In this embodiment, the anti-misoperation baffle strip 2 is provided on one side of the straight plate, and the handle 3 is provided on the other side of the straight plate.

[0074] The handle 3 is used to pick up the anti-misalignment baffle 2. Since the anti-misalignment baffle 2 is provided on one side of the straight plate and the handle 3 is provided on the other side of the straight plate, the anti-misalignment baffle 2 can be easily placed into the empty area by holding the handle 3 and pushing it forward.

[0075] In this embodiment, the grip 3 is a straight handle.

[0076] In this embodiment, the extension length of the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 is not less than the short side length of the end of the radiator.

[0077] Since the extension length of the anti-mistake baffle strip 2 is not less than the short side length of the end of the radiator, the anti-mistake baffle strip 2 can cover the entire missing area, avoiding the problem of the missing area being exposed and affecting the observation effect or causing missed detection.

[0078] In this embodiment, the plane where the straight handle is located is the same as the plane where the straight plate is located.

[0079] Since the plane where the straight handle is located is the same as the plane where the straight plate is located, the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 can be better controlled to snap into the missing area.

[0080] That is, the handle 3 is located on the other side of the straight plate, opposite to the anti-misalignment baffle 2. This layout allows the operator to easily grip the handle 3 and push the anti-misalignment baffle 2. By gripping the handle 3, the operator can easily push the anti-misalignment baffle 2 forward, causing it to engage with the empty area at the end of the radiator.

[0081] This design reduces the number of times the operator needs to directly contact the error-proof baffle strip 2, thus reducing the difficulty and complexity of operation.

[0082] In this embodiment, both the straight plate and the anti-misalignment baffle strip 2 are white.

[0083] Since the radiator has a metallic color, both the straight plate and the anti-misalignment baffle 2 are made white, which helps to easily distinguish the heat dissipation elbow.

[0084] That is, the metallic radiator contrasts sharply with the white panel, making the elbow easier to identify and locate.

[0085] Reduced visual fatigue: During prolonged inspection work, color contrast can reduce eye strain and improve work efficiency. Any installation errors or improper bend placement can be more easily detected due to color contrast.

[0086] The implementation method of the above-mentioned radiator elbow anti-misalignment device is as follows:

[0087] Step 1: Select the appropriate radiator elbow anti-misalignment device according to the model:

[0088] The first step involves a detailed analysis of the specific air conditioning heat exchanger model and specifications in order to select a radiator elbow error prevention device that is perfectly compatible with it. This ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the tool's use and provides a solid foundation for elbow error prevention.

[0089] Step 2: Determine the location based on the machine model

[0090] At this stage, it is necessary to accurately align the selected radiator elbow anti-misalignment device with the corresponding part of the elbow and confirm that the elbow placement position passes the initial inspection.

[0091] Step 3: Cleverly use the radiator elbow anti-misalignment device

[0092] The radiator elbow anti-misplacement device is compared for each model. During inspection, if an elbow is found to be missing when it should be, the anti-misplacement baffle strip 2 will help identify the blank space where the elbow should be placed, allowing for quick detection of defective products. If an extra elbow is placed in a missing area, it cannot be placed flat on the air conditioner heat exchanger of that model, also immediately revealing the problem.

[0093] When using radiator elbow correction devices, selecting the appropriate correction baffle 2 is crucial. This step involves considering different air conditioning heat exchanger models and specifications, as they have elbow sizes and different placement positions. The appropriate correction baffle 2 selection ensures operational accuracy, because only tools matching the specific model can provide precise comparison, thereby guaranteeing that the heat exchanger's performance and quality meet predetermined standards.

[0094] The other end of the error-proof tool features a protruding handle design, which makes the tool safer and more convenient to use. Because the temperature is very high after the elbow is welded, there is a risk of burns if the distance is too short. Adding a handle makes the operation easier and safer.

[0095] The radiator elbow misplacement prevention device can promptly detect misplaced elbows during the manufacturing process. By selecting the appropriate tool according to the model, the problem can be easily resolved, eliminating missing elbows. Tool comparison immediately identifies where an elbow is missing, preventing the transfer of defective products. This reduces the difficulty of repairing this defect and minimizes the problem of increased scrap costs due to repair errors. Using elbow misplacement prevention devices designed specifically for different models, it is immediately apparent if an elbow is missing from its designated position. Furthermore, if an elbow is misplaced, the tool cannot properly engage with the heat exchanger, immediately identifying the incorrect elbow position and preventing defective products from being passed on to subsequent processes.
