Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of radiator manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a radiator locking clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the radiator manufacturing and assembly process, the assembly and securing of the radiator frame and fan are crucial steps. Connecting the fan to the connecting rod on the radiator frame requires screws and a screwdriver, which are then passed through the gaps between the fan blades to secure the fan to the connecting rod. However, due to the lack of effective means of securing the radiator fan blades, they are prone to rotation during operation. This not only makes tightening the screws difficult, forcing operators to expend extra effort to control the blades and reducing assembly efficiency, but also, with frequent operation, the rotation of the blades can damage them with the screwdriver, potentially even causing the fan to break.

[0003] Meanwhile, with the upgrading of radiators, existing radiators now contain multiple fans of different types. These fans need to be installed in different locations on the radiator. During installation, operators may accidentally install the fans incorrectly due to negligence or fatigue. Incorrect fan installation significantly reduces the radiator's heat dissipation performance, failing to meet product design requirements, and may even lead to product failure and increased production costs.

[0004] In summary, existing radiator assembly methods suffer from inefficiencies, easy damage to fan blades, and frequent installation errors in the connection between the fan and the radiator frame. There is an urgent need to develop a radiator clamping fixture that can solve these problems, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of radiator production and reducing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a radiator locking clamp, which aims to solve the technical problems in the existing technology of low efficiency, easy damage to fan blades, and easy installation position errors in the connection between the fan and the radiator frame during radiator assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a radiator locking clamp, characterized in that: it includes a frame, on which a plurality of support blocks protruding from the frame are provided; the support blocks are provided with limiting grooves that match the connecting rods on the radiator frame, and the support blocks are also provided with reserved holes and movable holes corresponding to the screw holes on the connecting rods on the radiator frame; a movable groove is provided below the support blocks, the movable groove and the movable hole are interconnected, a movable rod is provided in the movable groove, the movable rod is connected to the frame through a damper, the movable rod can rotate around the axis of the movable groove, and a limiting rod is vertically provided on the movable rod, the limiting rod extending into the movable groove and protruding out of the movable hole.

[0007] Preferably, the shape of the limiting groove matches the shape of the connecting rod on the radiator frame, which is used to limit the position of the connecting rod and assist the radiator frame in positioning when placed on the frame, while also ensuring that the radiator frame always maintains the same orientation when placed on the frame.

[0008] Preferably, there are multiple reserved holes, which correspond to the positions of the screw holes on the connecting rod, to provide space for screw tightening so that the screws are tightened in place.

[0009] Preferably, the movable hole is arc-shaped and extends through the frame and the support block, allowing the movable rod to pass through and move.

[0010] Preferably, the movable groove is located below the support block to provide space for the rotation of the movable rod.

[0011] Preferably, the damper is made of spring or rubber, etc., to increase the friction between the movable rod and the frame, so that the movable rod and the position of the fan blade are fixed after the movable rod stops rotating.

[0012] Preferably, the shape and thickness of the limiting rod match the shape and width of the gap formed between the fan blades, and the shape of the limiting rod in each movable hole varies according to the curvature of the arc gap formed between the fan blades on different fans, so as to prevent the fan from being installed in the wrong position and to help stabilize the fan blades. By adjusting the position of the limiting rod in the movable hole, the fan blades can be rotated to expose the screw holes at different positions on the fan and fix the position of the fan blades.

[0013] The above-mentioned technical solutions of one or more technical solutions in the radiator locking clamp provided by this utility model embodiment have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0014] This utility model discloses a radiator locking clamp with multiple support blocks protruding from the frame. Each support block has a limiting groove and a movable hole. A movable groove is located below the support block, and a movable rod is positioned within the groove. The movable rod can rotate around the axis of the groove. A limiting rod is vertically mounted on the movable rod. A connecting rod on the radiator frame is placed in the limiting groove. The support blocks effectively fix and support the connecting rod on the radiator frame, preventing deformation of the connecting rod and fan due to excessive force when tightening screws. During assembly, the limiting rod extends into the movable hole and protrudes from the gap between the fan blades, providing stable positioning of the fan blades and preventing rotation when screws are tightened. This not only reduces the difficulty for operators in controlling the fan blades but also significantly improves assembly efficiency. It also reduces the risk of damage to the fan blades caused by screw-tightening tools due to blade rotation, thereby improving the product yield.

[0015] This utility model discloses a radiator locking clamp with a limiting groove on the support block and an arc that matches the shape of the limiting rod with the corresponding fan gap. This achieves precise positioning and connection between the fan and the radiator frame, ensuring that each screw is installed in the correct position, making the fan installation more stable and avoiding the impact of improper screw installation on the overall structural stability of the radiator. At the same time, different fans cannot be placed on the support block under the action of the limiting rod, preventing the fans from being installed in the wrong position.

[0016] This utility model discloses a radiator locking clamp. With the cooperation of a damper and a movable groove, the clamp can flexibly adjust the position of the limit rod. When tightening screws at different positions on the fan, the fan blades can be stably limited to prevent them from rotating when the screws are tightened. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-3As shown, a radiator locking clamp is provided, including a frame 10 and a movable rod 20. The frame 10 is provided with a support block 11, a limiting groove 12, a reserved hole 13, a movable hole 14, and a movable groove 15.

[0030] The frame 10 is the main structure of the clamp. Multiple support blocks 11 are provided on the top of the frame 10. The support blocks 11 serve to support the connecting rods 31 on the heat sink frame 30, so as to prevent the connecting rods 31 and the fan 32 from deforming due to excessive force when tightening the screws.

[0031] A limiting groove 12 is formed on the support block 11. The shape of the limiting groove 12 matches the shape of the connecting rod 31. When the fan 32 is connected to the connecting rod 31 by screwing, the connecting rod 31 is placed in the limiting groove 12. The limiting groove 12 serves to limit the position of the connecting rod 31 and to help position the heat sink frame 30 when it is placed on the frame 10.

[0032] The support block 11 is also provided with a plurality of reserved holes 13 corresponding to the screw holes on the connecting rod 31. The reserved holes 13 provide space for the screw tightening work so that the screw can be tightened in place.

[0033] The support block 11 is provided with a movable hole 14. The movable hole 14 is arc-shaped and passes through the frame 10 and the support block 11. The movable hole 14 serves to allow the movable rod 20 to pass through and move. When one screw on the fan 32 is tightened, and other screws need to be tightened, the position of the movable rod 20 in the movable hole 14 is adjusted. After rotating the fan blade, the screw holes in other positions on the fan 32 are exposed, and the movable rod 20 fixes the position of the fan blade.

[0034] The movable groove 15 is located below the support block 11, and the movable groove 15 serves to provide space for the rotation of the movable rod 20.

[0035] The movable rod 20 is disposed in the movable slot 15, and one end of the movable rod 20 is connected to the axis of the movable slot 15, allowing the movable rod 20 to rotate around the axis of the movable slot 15. The movable rod 20 is connected to the frame 10 through a damper 21. The damper 21 can be a spring, rubber, or other type of damper. The damper 21 increases the friction between the movable rod 20 and the frame 10 when the movable rod 20 rotates, so that when the user rotates the movable rod 20, the movable rod 20 can push the fan blade to rotate, thereby exposing the screw holes at other positions on the fan 32. After the screw holes of the screws to be tightened are exposed, the user stops pushing the movable rod 20, and the movable rod 20 is fixed in the movable slot 15, thereby fixing the position of the fan blade. This reduces the difficulty for the operator to control the fan blade, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces the risk of damage to the fan blade caused by the screw-tightening tool due to the rotation of the fan blade, thereby improving the product yield.

[0036] The other end of the movable rod 20 is vertically provided with a limiting rod 22. The limiting rod 22 extends upward through the movable hole 14. The shape and thickness of the limiting rod 22 match the shape and width of the gap formed between the fan blades. The limiting rod 22 passes through the fan 32 through the gap between the fan blades. The limiting rod 22 in each movable hole 14 has a different shape according to the different curvature of the arc-shaped gap formed between the fan blades on different fans, so that the limiting rod 22 can only pass through the corresponding fan 32, preventing incorrect installation of the fan 32.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A radiator locking clamp, in use, a frame 10 is placed on a workbench, a movable rod 20 is connected to the frame 10 through a damper 21, and a limiting rod 22 protrudes from the support block 11 through a movable hole 14. The limiting rods 22 in different movable holes 14 have different shapes. The user places the radiator frame 30 on the frame 10. Under the cooperation of the limiting groove 12 and the connecting rod 31, it is ensured that the orientation of each radiator frame 30 is always consistent when placed on the frame 10. At this time, the connecting rod 31 is located in the limiting groove 12 and is supported by the support block 11. Then, different fans are placed on the corresponding connecting rods 31. Under the action of the limiting rods 22 of different shapes, the position of the fan 32 is prevented from being incorrect. At this time, the limiting rod 22 protrudes from the gap between the fan blades, which can stably limit the fan blades and prevent them from rotating when the screws are tightened. By adjusting the position of the limiting rod 22 in the movable hole 14, the position of the fan blades is adjusted so that the screw holes on the fan 32 protrude through the gap between the fan blades. Then, the user stops rotating the limiting rod 22. Under the resistance of the damper 21, the limiting rod 22 is fixed in the fixed position of the movable hole 14. This not only reduces the difficulty for operators to control the fan blades, but also significantly improves the assembly efficiency. At the same time, it reduces the risk of damage to the fan blades caused by the screw-tightening tool due to the rotation of the fan blades, thereby improving the product yield.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
