Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of evaporator core foam bonding technology, specifically, it relates to an evaporator core foam bonding clamp. Background Technology
[0002] In automotive air conditioning systems, the installation of foam around the evaporator core plays a crucial role. The evaporator is a key component in the refrigeration cycle; it absorbs heat from the surrounding air through the evaporation of refrigerant, thus achieving a cooling effect. Installing foam around the evaporator core primarily serves to isolate and cushion it from surrounding components. During vehicle operation, various vibrations and impacts occur. Without the cushioning of foam, the evaporator core may collide with surrounding metal parts, causing damage and affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning system.
[0003] Foam also serves a sealing function. It prevents air from bypassing the evaporator core, ensuring that air can fully contact the evaporator core surface and improve heat exchange efficiency. In automotive air conditioning systems, to achieve good cooling performance, all air entering the vehicle needs to be cooled by passing through the evaporator core. Installing foam can fill the gaps between the evaporator core and the mounting bracket or outer casing, preventing partial air leakage and thus ensuring the stability of the cooling effect. However, manually installing foam on the evaporator core is inefficient.
[0004] Chinese patent (publication number: 104070479A) discloses a radiator core clamp. By adjusting the positioning hole and the spring inside the sleeve, the clamping force is kept consistent. Assembly and disassembly can be achieved simply by pulling the buckle. The operation is simple and quick, and the clamping width of the clamp can be adjusted as needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model is designed to solve the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide an evaporator core foam pasting fixture, which can save time in installing foam on the evaporator core and improve production efficiency. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an evaporator core foam pasting fixture, including a base plate, wherein the base plate is connected to a fixing structure, and a pasting structure is provided on the fixing structure.
[0006] The fixing structure includes a first connecting plate, which is connected to the base plate. The first connecting plate has a first fixing plate at both ends, and the first fixing plate has a first groove that matches the evaporator core.
[0007] The adhesive structure includes a second groove, which is disposed on the first connecting plate and matches the side plate of the evaporator core.
[0008] The first fixing plate has a first limiting groove that matches the evaporator core, and the first limiting groove is located in the first groove.
[0009] The first fixing plate is provided with weight reduction holes, which are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the first fixing plate.
[0010] The first connecting plate and the first fixing plate are integrally formed.
[0011] The second groove is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the first connecting plate.
[0012] The first connecting plate is provided with shock-absorbing pads, which are evenly spaced.
[0013] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: By placing foam in the second groove, and then placing the evaporator core, the evaporator core moves along the first groove. When the evaporator core abuts against the first connecting plate, the side plate of the evaporator core engages with the second groove. By pressing the evaporator core, the foam can be adhered to the side plate of the evaporator core, thus completing the installation of the evaporator core foam. This foam installation fixture has a simple structure, saves time in installing foam on the evaporator core, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator core foam bonding fixture includes a base plate 1, a fixing structure 2 connected to the base plate 1, and a bonding structure 3 installed on the fixing structure 2. The base plate 1 is a square structure and serves as the support plate for the entire structure. The fixing structure 2 holds the evaporator core, and then the bonding structure 3 is used to install the foam onto the evaporator core.
[0019] The fixing structure 2 includes a first connecting plate 201, which is connected to the base plate 1. First fixing plates 202 are connected to both ends of the first connecting plate 201. The first fixing plates 202 have first grooves 203 that match the evaporator core. When the evaporator core is placed in the first groove 203, the first connecting plate 201 provides support, and the first fixing plates 202 limit its position, preventing it from shifting and ensuring stable fixation within the first groove 203.
[0020] The adhesive structure 3 includes a second groove 301, which is located on the first connecting plate 201 and matches the side plate of the evaporator core. The second groove 301 extends from one end of the first connecting plate 201 to the other end. Foam is placed on the second groove 301, and then the evaporator core is placed. The evaporator core moves along the first groove 203. When the evaporator core abuts against the first connecting plate 201, the side plate of the evaporator core engages with the second groove 301. By pressing the evaporator core, the foam can be adhered to the side plate of the evaporator core, thus completing the installation of the evaporator core foam. Then, the evaporator core is removed.
[0021] The first fixed plate 202 has a first limiting groove 204 that matches the evaporator core. The first limiting groove 204 is located within the first groove 203. The first limiting groove 204 can cooperate with the evaporator side plate for auxiliary positioning. The evaporator core can move up and down along the first groove 203 and the first limiting groove 204, which facilitates the installation of foam in the evaporator core.
[0022] The first fixing plate 202 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 4, which is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the first fixing plate 202. The weight-reducing hole 4 is designed as a circular structure. On the one hand, bolts can be installed in the weight-reducing hole 4 to connect the base plate 1 to the first fixing plate 202, making the connection between the base plate 1 and the first fixing plate 202 more stable and preventing them from falling off due to external force or collision. On the other hand, the weight-reducing hole 4 can also reduce the weight of the first fixing plate 202 itself, thereby saving materials and reducing a lot of costs.
[0023] The first connecting plate 201 and the first fixing plate 202 are integrally formed. This integral forming makes the connection between the first connecting plate 201 and the first fixing plate 202 more stable and stronger, while reducing the production cost of the first connecting plate 201 and the first fixing plate 202 and enabling faster production speed.
[0024] The second slot 301 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the first connecting plate 201. The symmetrical arrangement of the second slot 301 allows it to perfectly match the side plates on both sides of the evaporator core. By placing foam in the second slot 301, the time for installing the foam can be saved, thus improving production efficiency.
[0025] The first connecting plate 201 is provided with shock-absorbing pads 5, which are evenly spaced. The shock-absorbing pads 5 can reduce the collision between the evaporator core and the first connecting plate 201, and can reduce the wear between the evaporator core and the first connecting plate 201 when pressing and installing foam on the evaporator core.
[0026] The role and effect of the embodiments
[0027] First, place the foam in the second groove 301, then place the evaporator core. The evaporator core moves along the first groove 203. The first fixing plate 202 can limit the evaporator core, preventing it from shifting and allowing it to move stably within the first groove 203. Move the evaporator core downwards. When the evaporator core abuts against the first connecting plate 201, the side plate of the evaporator core engages with the second groove 301. By pressing the evaporator core, the foam can be adhered to the side plate, thus completing the installation of the evaporator core foam. Then, remove the evaporator core. This foam installation fixture has a simple structure, saves time in installing foam on the evaporator core, and improves production efficiency.
[0028] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
