Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] This application provides a copper pipe cutting mechanism for air conditioner compressor accessories, which solves the problem that in the prior art, during the cutting process, simple clamping and positioning are usually used. Due to the large number of copper pipe models, the clamping contact end is usually set with a V-shape to adapt. However, during the clamping process, the contact area between the copper pipe and the clamping end is small, and it is easy to loosen or shake during the cutting process.

[0038] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] This utility model discloses a copper pipe cutting mechanism for air conditioner compressor accessories, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a main support 1, a cutting unit 2, a clamp 3, an adjusting seat 4, a gripper 5, an adjusting unit 6, and a locking unit 7;

[0041] The main support bracket 1 serves as the foundation support structure for the entire air conditioner compressor component copper pipe cutting mechanism.

[0042] Cutting unit 2 includes an electric push rod 21, a cutter 22, and a power supply 23;

[0043] The electric push rod 21 is mounted on the main support 1 and is the power actuator of the cutting unit 2. It drives the cutting machine 22 to move up and down, thereby cutting the copper tube.

[0044] The cutting machine 22 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 21 and cuts the copper tube under the drive of the electric push rod 21. The cutting machine 22 is usually equipped with a high-speed rotating blade, which cuts the copper tube through the contact friction between the blade and the copper tube.

[0045] Power supply 23 is mounted on electric actuator 21 to provide the necessary electrical energy to both actuator 21 and cutting machine 22, ensuring their normal operation. Power supply 23 is equipped with control panel 231, allowing users to easily control the extension and retraction of electric actuator 21 and the start and stop of cutting machine 22; the operation is simple and intuitive.

[0046] The clamp 3 is mounted on the main support 1, providing a mounting base for the adjustment seat 4. In conjunction with the adjustment unit 6, the position of the adjustment seat 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the clamp 5 to accommodate copper tubes of different lengths and positions.

[0047] The adjusting seat 4 is slidably connected inside the clamping seat 3, and the clamping jaw 5 is movably engaged inside it. Under the action of the adjusting unit 6, the adjusting seat 4 can slide within the clamping seat 3, thereby changing the position of the clamping jaw 5 to better clamp the copper tube and meet different cutting requirements.

[0048] The jaw 5 is used to directly clamp the copper tube. Its shape and material match the shape of the copper tube to ensure that the copper tube can be firmly clamped and prevent the copper tube from moving or shaking during the cutting process, which would affect the cutting accuracy.

[0049] The gripper 5 is provided with a locking block 51, which is movably engaged inside the adjusting seat 4. The locking block 51 is provided with a locking hole 52, and the locking unit 7 includes a sleeve 71, a pin 72, a slider 73, and a spring 74;

[0050] The sleeve 71 is mounted on the adjusting seat 4, providing installation space for the pin 72 and the slider 73, and also serving as a guide to ensure that the pin 72 can be accurately inserted into the lock hole 52.

[0051] The pin 72 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 71 and can be movably inserted into the locking hole 52 on the locking block 51. When the pin 72 is inserted into the locking hole 52, it can lock the gripper 5 onto the adjusting seat 4 to prevent the gripper 5 from loosening or shifting during use.

[0052] The slider 73 is mounted on the pin 72 and slidably connected inside the sleeve 71. It guides and stabilizes the sliding of the pin 72, ensuring that the pin 72 remains stable during the sliding process.

[0053] A spring 74 is positioned between the slider 73 and the sleeve 71, consistently applying an outward elastic force to the slider 73, thereby keeping the pin 72 inserted into the locking hole 52 and ensuring reliable locking of the gripper 5. When the gripper 5 needs to be replaced or adjusted, simply overcome the elastic force of the spring 74 and pull the pin 72 out of the locking hole 52. Therefore, this device facilitates the replacement of appropriate gripper 5 models according to different copper tube cutting processes, ensuring stable clamping of the copper tube by the gripper 5.

[0054] Example 2:

[0055] This utility model discloses a copper pipe cutting mechanism for air conditioner compressor accessories, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a main support 1, a cutting unit 2, a clamp 3, an adjusting seat 4, a gripper 5, an adjusting unit 6, and a locking unit 7;

[0056] Cutting unit 2 is mounted on main support 1 and is used to cut copper pipes;

[0057] The clamp 3 is mounted on the main support 1;

[0058] The adjusting seat 4 is slidably connected within the clamp 3;

[0059] The gripper 5 is movable and engaged inside the adjusting seat 4;

[0060] The adjustment unit 6 is mounted on the clamp 3 and is used to adjust the position of the adjustment seat 4;

[0061] The locking unit 7 is mounted on the adjusting seat 4 and is used to lock and limit the gripper 5.

[0062] The adjustment unit 6 includes a guide rod 61, a guide frame 62, a double-threaded lead screw 63, and a slide rod 64;

[0063] The guide rod 61 is mounted on the clamp 3 to provide guidance for the sliding of the guide frame 62, ensuring that the guide frame 62 maintains linear motion during movement and improving the accuracy and stability of adjustment.

[0064] The guide bracket 62 is slidably connected to the guide rod 61 and threadedly connected to the double-threaded screw 63. When the double-threaded screw 63 rotates, the guide bracket 62 will slide along the guide rod 61 under the action of the threads.

[0065] The double-threaded screw 63 is rotatably connected to the clamp 3. By rotating the double-threaded screw 63, the guide bracket 62 can be moved on the guide rod 61. The design of the double-threaded screw 63 makes the adjustment process more stable and precise, and enables fine-tuning of the position of the adjusting seat 4.

[0066] The slide bar 64 is positioned between the guide frame 62 and the adjusting seat 4, transmitting the movement of the guide frame 62 to the adjusting seat 4, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting seat 4 and consequently adjusting the position of the clamp 5, making it convenient to clamp and fix the copper tube.
