[0002] In air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, the evaporator is a key component responsible for absorbing heat and achieving a cooling effect. During the evaporator manufacturing process, the installation of the core is a crucial step, requiring assurance of its stability and sealing within the casing. Traditional evaporator core installation methods can have several problems, such as insecure installation, poor sealing, and susceptibility to vibration. These issues can lead to decreased evaporator performance or even malfunction. Therefore, the introduction of foam installation improves the evaporator core installation process; foam can adapt to cores of different shapes and sizes while providing excellent vibration damping and sealing performance. This device can improve the installation efficiency and reliability of the evaporator, reduce the failure rate, and extend the equipment's lifespan. Existing foam installation methods for evaporator cores are slow and inefficient.

[0018] 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.
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an evaporator core clamping device includes a support base plate 1, a clamping mechanism 2 connected to the support base plate 1, and a locking mechanism 3 connected to the clamping mechanism 2. The support base plate 1 provides the foundation and stable support for the entire device. The clamping mechanism 2 and the locking mechanism 3 work together to fix the evaporator core and then install foam.
[0020] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a first support plate 201 and a second support plate 202. The first support plate 201 is disposed at one end of the support base plate 1, and the second support plate 202 is disposed at the other end of the support base plate 1. A first clamping plate 203 is disposed at one end of the first support plate 201, and a second clamping plate 204 is disposed at one end of the second support plate 202. The first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204 are disposed opposite to each other. The first support plate 201 provides support for the first clamping plate 203, and the second support plate 202 provides support for the second clamping plate 204. The evaporator core is installed between the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, with the evaporator core abutting against the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204. Then, foam can be installed on the evaporator core.
[0021] The locking mechanism 3 includes a first connecting rod 301. One end of the first connecting rod 301 is connected to the first clamping plate 203. The other end of the first connecting rod 301 is connected to the first fixing plate 302 on both sides. The first fixing plate 302 is connected to the pull rod 303. One end of the pull rod 303 is axially connected to the second fixing plate 304. The second fixing plate 304 is connected to the first support plate 201. One end of the second fixing plate 304 is connected to the fixing sleeve 305, which is sleeved on the first connecting rod 301. By pushing the pull rod 303 inward, the pull rod 303 drives the first fixing plate 302 to push the first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 pushes the first clamping plate 203 to fix the evaporator core between the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204. Then, foam can be installed on the evaporator core. After installation, pull the pull rod 303 outward. The pull rod 303 pulls the first fixing plate 302 and the first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 pulls back the first clamping plate 203, so that the evaporator core is unlocked. The evaporator core can be removed and replaced with an evaporator core with foam installed.
[0022] The second clamping plate 204 has first limiting plates 205 connected to both sides, and a second limiting plate 206 connected to the bottom end of the second clamping plate 204. A first limiting groove 207 is formed on the second clamping plate 204, which engages with the evaporator core. By placing the evaporator core on the second limiting plate 206, the evaporator core will not fall off when the first clamping plate 301 is locked and opened. The first limiting plates 205 limit the sides of the evaporator core, preventing it from deviating. The evaporator core engages with the first limiting groove 207, locking it in place and securing it in place.
[0023] A first rotating shaft 4 is provided between the first connecting rod 301 and the first clamping plate 203, and the first connecting rod 301 and the first clamping plate 203 are connected by the first rotating shaft 4. A second rotating shaft 5 is provided between the second support plate 202 and the second clamping plate 204, and the second support plate 202 and the second clamping plate 204 are connected by the second rotating shaft 5. The first rotating shaft 4 allows the first clamping plate 203 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 4, and the second rotating shaft 5 allows the second clamping plate 204 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 5. After the foam at one end of the evaporator core is installed, the evaporator core can be rotated by rotating the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, thereby allowing the foam to be installed at the other end of the evaporator core.
[0024] The first support plate 201 has a first weight-reducing groove 6. The second support plate 202 includes a first flat plate 208, with first connecting plates 209 connected to both ends of the first flat plate 208. The first connecting plates 209 are connected to the support base plate 1. The first weight-reducing groove 6 reduces the weight of the first support plate 201, saving materials and costs. The second support plate 202 is composed of the first flat plate 208 and the first connecting plates 209, thus saving materials and costs.
[0025] A third fixing plate 306 is provided on the first support plate 201, and the third fixing plate 306 has a first through groove 7. The first through groove 7 on the third fixing plate 306 makes it convenient for the user to pick up and move the entire device by gripping the first through groove 7.
[0026] The second limiting plate 206 has an L-shaped structure and is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the second clamping plate 204. A protective sleeve 307 is fitted onto the pull rod 303. The L-shaped structure of the second limiting plate 206 provides better support for the evaporator core, and its symmetrical arrangement with respect to the central axis of the second clamping plate 204 provides more stable support for the evaporator core. The protective sleeve 307 protects the user's hands from injury caused by sharp protrusions on the pull rod 303.
[0027] The role and effect of the embodiments
[0028] The evaporator core is placed on the second limiting plate 206. The evaporator core cooperates with the first limiting groove 207 and can be locked into the first limiting groove 207 to fix the evaporator core. The first limiting plate 205 limits the two sides of the evaporator core to prevent the evaporator core from deviating. By pushing the pull rod 303 inward, the pull rod 303 drives the first fixing plate 302 to push the first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 pushes the first clamping plate 203, fixing the evaporator core between the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204. Then, foam can be installed on the evaporator core. After the foam is installed at one end of the evaporator core, the evaporator core can be rotated by rotating the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, allowing foam to be installed at the other end of the evaporator core. After installation, the pull rod 303 is pulled outward, causing the pull rod 303 to pull the first fixing plate 302 and the first connecting rod 301. The first connecting rod 301 pulls back the first clamping plate 203, opening the evaporator core and allowing it to be removed and replaced with an evaporator core fitted with foam. This evaporator core clamping device is convenient for operators and improves the efficiency of evaporator core installation.

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.
