Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of evaporator production equipment, and in particular relates to a positioning fixture for welding copper tubes in evaporators. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of society and technology, equipment in various fields has been greatly improved. Evaporator is an important component among the four major components of refrigeration. Low-temperature condensed liquid exchanges heat with the outside air through the evaporator, and the vaporization absorbs heat to achieve the cooling effect. Copper tube is an important material in evaporator. During the installation process, it needs to be clamped and fixed by positioning fixtures before welding, which greatly improves the welding efficiency and quality of copper tube.
[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN211516570U, with an application date of 2019.12.09, discloses a welding positioning device for air conditioning copper pipes. The device includes a housing, with positioning devices on both sides of the outer wall of the housing. Each positioning device includes a fixing ring. Through holes are provided on both sides of the housing, and the two fixing rings are welded inside the through holes. A rotating ring is provided on one side of each of the two fixing rings, and a positioning bolt is threaded to the top of each of the two rotating rings. A welding port is provided on the top of the housing, and a storage device is provided inside the housing.
[0004] However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:

However, this method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive for operators, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0006] 2. The aforementioned welding positioning device for air conditioning copper pipes requires manual rotation of both ends of the copper pipes during use. This method cannot guarantee synchronous movement of the two ends of the copper pipes, resulting in poor stability, which may affect the welding quality and increase the workload of the workers. Therefore, we provide a positioning fixture for welding evaporator copper pipes to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model is a positioning fixture for welding copper tubes of an evaporator, including a welding box 1 and a fixing ring 104 set at the center of the outer walls on both sides. A rotating ring 105 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixing ring 104. A positioning component 2 is set on the outer side of the inner top of the rotating ring 105. The positioning component 2 includes an upper positioning seat 201 and a connecting rod 202 fixedly connected to its upper surface at uniform intervals along the horizontal direction. An anti-slip pad is adhered to the inner side wall of the upper positioning seat 201.
[0034] Specifically, a welding port 101 is provided at the center of the top of the welding box 1, an observation window 102 is provided at the top of the front end face of the welding box 1, a storage mechanism 103 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the welding box 1, an annular groove 1041 is provided at the center of the outer side wall of the fixing ring 104, a limiting ring 1051 is fixedly connected at the center of the inner side wall of the rotating ring 105, the other end of the limiting ring 1051 is located inside the annular groove 1041, a lower positioning seat 1052 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the interior of the rotating ring 105, a driven wheel 106 is sleeved on the inner side of the outer wall of the rotating ring 105, the top end of the connecting rod 202 passes through the through hole at the top of the interior of the rotating ring 105 and is connected to the limiting plate 204, a spring 203 is sleeved on the outer side of the outer wall of the connecting rod 202, the spring 203 is located between the upper positioning seat 201 and the inner wall of the rotating ring 105, and a pull plate 2041 is fixedly connected at the center of the front and rear end faces of the limiting plate 204.
[0035] Furthermore, the anti-slip pad can increase the friction with the outer wall of the copper tube. The welding box 1, welding port 101, observation window 102, and storage mechanism 103 are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here. The limiting ring 1051 and the annular groove 1041 play an auxiliary role in the rotation and limiting of the rotating ring 105. The upper positioning seat 201 and the lower positioning seat 1052 cooperate to clamp and fix the copper tube. The limiting plate 204 and the upper positioning seat 201 are connected by the connecting rod 202, which plays a role in connecting and transmitting. Under the elasticity of the spring 203, the upper positioning seat 201 can be moved.
[0036] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: First, place the two sets of evaporator copper tubes to be welded together on the outside of the rotating ring 105 and the fixed ring 104 on both sides of the welding box 1. Then, pull the pull plate 2041 upward. The pull plate 2041 is forced to move the limiting plate 204 upward. The bottom of the limiting plate 204 is connected to the upper positioning seat 201 through the connecting rod 202. Therefore, when the limiting plate 204 moves upward, it will drive the upper positioning seat 201 to move under the action of the connecting rod 202 and squeeze the spring 203. Then, insert the copper tubes at both ends into the adjacent rotating ring 105 and the fixed ring 104 and place them in the welding box 1. Then stop applying force to the pull plate 2041. At this time, under the action of the elasticity of the spring 203, the upper positioning seat 201 will spring back to the initial position and cooperate with the lower positioning seat 1052 at the bottom of the rotating ring 105 to clamp and position the copper tubes. This makes it easy for workers to quickly disassemble, assemble, position and install the copper tubes, saving time and effort and increasing work efficiency. Specific Implementation Example 2
[0037] Please see Figure 2 , 5 Based on the first specific embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that an adjustment component 3 is provided. The adjustment component 3 includes a motor 301 and an active conical wheel 3011 mounted on its output shaft. A driven conical wheel 3021 is provided on one side above the active conical wheel 3011. This solves the problem that the existing manual operation cannot guarantee the synchronous movement of the copper tubes at both ends, has poor stability, may affect the welding quality, and will also increase the workload of the staff.
[0038] Specifically, a rotating shaft 302 is installed at the center of the inner wall of the driven conical wheel 3021. The inner walls of the rotating shaft 302 are respectively connected to the bearings on the two end faces of the driven conical wheel 3021 and the one end face of the adjacent support plate 303. The top of the support plate 303 is fixed to the two sides of the bottom edge of the welding box 1. The outer wall of the driving wheel 304 is connected to the outer wall of the driven wheel 106 by a belt.
[0039] Furthermore, the operation of motor 301 drives the active conical wheel 3011 to rotate, and the gear on the outer wall of the active conical wheel 3011 meshes with the gear on the outer wall of the driven conical wheel 3021 to play a transmission role. The driven conical wheel 3021 and the active wheel 304 are both located on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, and the three can move synchronously. The outer wall of the active wheel 304 is connected to the outer wall of the driven wheel 106 through a belt.
[0040] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: After the copper tube is positioned, it is welded to the copper tube in the welding box 1 through the welding joint 101. During the welding process, the motor 301 is started. The output shaft of the motor 301 rotates, driving the active conical wheel 3011 to rotate. The gear on the outer wall of the active conical wheel 3011 meshes with the gear on the outer wall of the driven conical wheel 3021. Therefore, when the active conical wheel 3011 rotates, it drives the driven conical wheel 3021 to rotate, causing the shaft 302 on the inner wall of the driven conical wheel 3021 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 302 will drive the drive wheels 304 at both ends to rotate. The outer wall of the drive wheel 304 is connected to the outer wall of the driven wheel 106 via a belt. Therefore, when the drive wheel 304 rotates, it will drive the driven wheel 106 to rotate under the action of the belt. The driven wheel 106 will cause the rotating ring 105 on its inner wall to rotate with the assistance of the limiting ring 1051 and the annular groove 1041. This will allow the copper tube clamped and positioned inside to rotate, thereby increasing the stability of the copper tube welding process and improving the welding quality.
