Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning parts technology, specifically a novel in-mold synchronous flaring and double-point copper plug forming device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the air conditioner manufacturing process, a stainless steel-to-copper substitution project is underway. The steel-to-copper conversion requires copper plugs as transition interfaces for brazing with other copper-aluminum tubes. These transition copper plugs typically involve flaring and furnace welding to the steel component, followed by double-dimpled positioning and brazing with the external connecting pipe. The method used is a "step-by-step flaring and single-point dimple-making process." This method requires first flaring the copper plug with a reamer, and then dimple-making on both sides. The dimple-making process impacts the outside of the copper plug, causing deformation of the circular copper plug resulting from the flaring. This leads to poor copper plug machining accuracy, out-of-roundness of the product after dimple-making, and difficulties in assembling and welding with stainless steel components.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the slider 31 is slidably connected to the top of the worktable 52, and the pressure block 32 is located directly above its corresponding slider 31. The opposing surfaces of the pressure block 32 and the slider 31 are both inclined. Under the pressure of the pressure block 32, the slider 31 slides towards the mold body 33.
[0035] In one possible implementation, a mold hole 36 is provided at the center of the top of the mold body 33, and the enlarging head of the lower end of the upper mold 2 is located directly above the mold hole 36. A punching rod 34 is provided on the side of the slider 31 near the mold body 33. The punching rod 34 is a punching head on the side near the mold body 33. The punching head passes through the mold body 33 and extends into the mold hole 36. A spring 35 is sleeved on the outside of the punching rod 34. The spring 35 is located between the mold body 33 and the slider 31.
[0036] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the workbench 52 is provided with a ejector plate 53, which is slidably connected to the workbench 52. An ejector rod 54 is provided at the center of the ejector plate 53. The ejector rod 54 passes through the top surface of the workbench 52 and the center of the lower end of the mold body 33, and the upper end of the ejector rod 54 extends into the mold hole 36.
[0037] In one possible implementation, pull rods 4 are provided on both sides of the lower mold 3.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution:
[0040] The molding process employs in-mold one-piece molding, powered by a press. When the press is in the initial position, the tube to be molded is placed in, and the upper die moves downward to press and tighten the copper plug into the molding die. The upper die moves downward through the side-sloping cutting block, converting the linear motion into the oblique motion. The double-pointing tip moves linearly along a fixed trajectory. When the press continues to move downward to the bottom dead center, the flaring punch and the double-pointing tip action are completed simultaneously. When the press returns to the initial position, the pulling mechanism removes the molded tube from the mold cavity.
[0041] Working principle: such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the press 1 provides power. When the press 1 is in the initial position, the tube to be formed is placed in. The upper mold 2 moves downward to press and tighten the copper plug into the mold hole 36. The pressure block 32 moves downward. Under the pressure of the pressure block 32, the slider 31 slides towards the mold body 33, converting the linear motion into the oblique motion. The double dotting head moves in a straight line along a fixed trajectory. When the press 1 continues to move downward to the bottom dead center, the expanding head and the dotting head complete the double dotting action at the same time. When the press 1 returns to the initial position, the pulling mechanism removes the formed tube from the mold cavity.
[0042] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
