Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of condenser tube shaping technology, specifically relating to a condenser tube shaping device for an ice maker. Background Technology
[0002] In ice makers, the condenser tube primarily plays a role in heat dissipation. Utilizing the principle of heat exchange, it exchanges heat with the walls of the condenser through the flow of cold water inside, allowing the heat generated by the ice maker to dissipate. This effectively releases heat, ensuring the normal operation of the ice maker. Ice makers are divided into household and industrial types, and their manufacturing technologies differ. However, the condenser tube shaping for small ice makers is relatively simple. The condenser tube mainly consists of two parts: the end and the spiral section. Generally, the end needs to be bent and shaped manually, while the spiral section is shaped using a bending machine. Then, the remaining pipes are welded together to assemble the condenser tube assembly. To reduce the bending steps, a condenser tube end bending and shaping device is urgently needed.
