Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refrigeration equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a device for punching internal protrusions on copper pipes for refrigeration equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The device for creating internal bumps on copper pipes for refrigeration equipment is a specialized device used to form bumps inside copper pipes. This device plays a crucial role in the manufacturing process of refrigeration equipment, ensuring that the structure and performance of the copper pipes meet specific requirements.
[0003] The presence of internal protrusions alters the flow path of the refrigerant within the copper tube, resulting in a more uniform and efficient flow, which helps improve refrigeration efficiency and allows the refrigeration equipment to reach the set temperature in a shorter time. Internal protrusions also increase the surface area of the inner wall of the copper tube, thereby increasing the contact area between the refrigerant and the inner wall, which helps improve the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant, enabling the refrigeration equipment to absorb and release heat more effectively during operation. Furthermore, internal protrusions enhance the structural strength of the copper tube, making it more durable and reliable.
[0004] A search revealed that CN214813973U, published on November 23, 2021, discloses a copper tube double-protrusion forming device, belonging to the field of refrigeration equipment component manufacturing. It includes a frame, a dotting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The dotting mechanism has a spring with protrusions, and the spring has a channel through which a mandrel passes. The dotting mechanism controls the mandrel to extend forward within the channel, pressing the spring to both sides. The clamping mechanism clamps the copper tube fitted onto the spring, so that when the spring protrusions press to both sides, they can press from the inside of the copper tube against the sidewall towards the outside, forming protrusions. This invention can simultaneously create two protrusions on the sidewall of the copper tube, ensuring that the two protrusions are located on the same cross-section of the copper tube, so that when the copper tube is welded, the protrusions can be stably locked at the opening of the main pipe.
[0005] This patent has the following shortcomings:
[0006] 1. This bump forming device can simultaneously make two bumps on a copper tube, improving the bump forming efficiency and is easy to operate. However, it can only make two bumps at the same time. For some copper tubes that are long and require the inner wall of the copper tube to be covered with bumps, this bump forming efficiency is difficult to mass-produce.
[0007] 2. The adjustableness of this embossing device is poor, making it difficult to adapt to the use of copper tubes of different specifications, and the style of the embossing is also relatively simple.
[0008] To address this issue, we provide a device for punching internal protrusions in copper pipes for refrigeration equipment. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , 4 -6. This utility model is a device for adding internal protrusions to copper tubes for refrigeration equipment, including a tube body 1, a sliding sleeve 2, protrusion components 3 and a driving mechanism 4; the end of the tube body 1 is fixed to the top of the support platform 5, and multiple sliding sleeves 2 are sleeved on the tube body 1; multiple protrusion components 3 are fixed on the side of the sliding sleeves 2 and evenly distributed around the circumference; the driving mechanism 4 is located at the center inside the tube body 1 and is used to drive multiple protrusion components 3 to move simultaneously and squeeze the copper tube body 6, so that protrusions are formed on the inner wall of the copper tube body 6.
[0033] Specifically, the surface of the tube body 1 is provided with a plurality of first slots 101 evenly distributed along the circumference.
[0034] Specifically, the protrusion assembly 3 includes an L-shaped plate 301, a second fastener 302, an impact rod 303, a spring 304, a circular plate 305, a ball 306, and a wedge block 307. The impact rod 303 is movably passed through the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate 301. The spring 304 is sleeved on the impact rod 303. The bottom end of the spring 304 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate 301, and the top end of the spring 304 is fixedly connected to the circular plate 305 fixedly sleeved on the impact rod 303. The top end of the impact rod 303 is fixedly fitted with a ball 306, and the bottom end extends through the first slot 101 into the interior of the tube 1, and is fixedly fitted with a wedge block 307.
[0035] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 4 includes a movable rod 401 and a frustum 402; multiple frustums 402 are sleeved on the movable rod 401, and the multiple frustums 402 correspond one-to-one with multiple sliding sleeves 2.
