Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, specifically to a welding equipment for air conditioning heat exchangers with a weld point grinding function. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern refrigeration and air conditioning industry, air conditioning heat exchangers are key components for heat exchange, and their performance directly determines the energy efficiency, stability, and lifespan of the air conditioner. With increasing demands for indoor comfort and the promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction policies, the air conditioning industry has set higher standards for the production quality and efficiency of heat exchangers. Welding, as a core process in air conditioning heat exchanger manufacturing, directly affects the heat exchanger's sealing performance, strength, and thermal conductivity, and the quality of the weld joints is paramount in the welding process. However, traditional air conditioning heat exchanger welding equipment has many problems and cannot meet the current needs of the industry.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202221260785.2 discloses a reinforcement device for facilitating thin aluminum welding. It includes a placement device that, when in use, can activate a hydraulic telescopic rod. The hydraulic telescopic rod moves a clamping plate towards the front of the thin aluminum plate, which, in conjunction with the placement frame, clamps and fixes the thin aluminum plate to the frame. This allows the device to clamp and fix the thin aluminum plates during welding, preventing misalignment and ensuring processing accuracy. It performs well in use. However, this device still has certain shortcomings.
[0004] After the workpiece is welded, it needs to be disassembled and the weld points need to be ground in the next process. Frequent disassembly not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also easily damages the workpiece during the disassembly process, such as causing heat exchanger fin deformation, pipe joint loosening, etc., which in turn affects the overall performance of the heat exchanger.
[0005] Therefore, we propose an air conditioning heat exchanger welding device with weld point grinding function to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

The first guide rod 7 guides the left and right movement of the first slider 5 and the second slider 6. Limit blocks are provided on both the left and right sides of the first guide rod 7. Both the welding device 8 and the grinding device 9 are equipped with electric telescopic mechanisms.

After welding is completed, without disassembling the workpiece, the first limiting bolt 15 is loosened, and then the workpiece table 10 is slid to abut against the limiting ring 13 on the right side, so that the air conditioning heat exchanger on the workpiece table 10 is located below the grinding device 9. Then the first limiting bolt 15 is rotated so that the first limiting bolt 15 is connected to the threaded groove of the worktable 1, thus completing the limiting of the workpiece table 10.
[0039] From top to bottom, a chip extraction pump 21 and a collection box 22 are installed sequentially on the right side of the support frame 2.

The movable slider 29 is slidably connected to the third guide rod 30. During the grinding process, the chip extraction pump 21 and the second servo motor 27 are started. The second servo motor 27 drives the reciprocating lead screw 28 to rotate, causing the movable slider 29 to move up and down on the reciprocating lead screw 28. Since the chip extraction tube 23 is connected to the movable slider 29 and the chip extraction tube 23 has an elastic and telescopic structure, the chip extraction nozzle 25 will move up and down with the movable slider 29, sucking in the grinding debris through the chip extraction tube 23 and then discharging it into the collection box 22 through the chip discharge tube 24, keeping the working area clean and avoiding secondary damage to the equipment and workpiece caused by the debris.
[0040] It should be noted that the welding device 8 and the grinding device 9 in this application are existing components in the art, and their internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] Please see Figure 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air conditioning heat exchanger welding device with weld point grinding function, including a U-shaped groove 16, a second connecting plate 17, and a second limiting bolt 18. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is:
[0043] The lower surface of the workpiece table 10 is provided with a U-shaped groove 16. Second connecting plates 17 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the workpiece table 10, and second limiting bolts 18 are installed on the second connecting plates 17. The worktable 1 is provided with a threaded groove, and the second limiting bolts 18 are threadedly connected to the threaded groove. After welding is completed, without disassembling the workpiece, the second limiting bolts 18 are loosened, and then the workpiece table 10 is slid to abut against the limiting ring 13 on the right side, so that the air conditioning heat exchanger on the workpiece table 10 is located below the grinding device 9. Then the second limiting bolts 18 are rotated to connect with the threaded groove of the worktable 1, thus completing the limiting of the workpiece table 10. When it is necessary to disassemble the workpiece table 10, the second limiting bolts 18 are loosened, and the workpiece table 10 is pulled upward through the U-shaped groove 16.
[0044] Example 3
[0045] Please see Figure 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air conditioning heat exchanger welding device with weld point grinding function, including adjusting bolt 19 and second guide rod 20. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is:
[0046] An adjusting bolt 19 is installed on the workpiece table 10. The adjusting bolt 19 is threadedly connected to the workpiece table 10. A second guide rod 20 is provided below the adjusting bolt 19. The second guide rod 20 passes through the workpiece table 10 and is slidably connected to the workpiece table 10 and the second guide rod 20. Both the second guide rod 20 and the adjusting bolt 19 are connected to the support frame 2. After welding is completed, there is no need to disassemble the workpiece. Rotating the adjusting bolt 19 will move the workpiece table 10 to the right, so that the air conditioning heat exchanger on the workpiece table 10 is located below the grinding device 9. The operation is more convenient and faster.
[0047] Working principle: When using the air conditioner heat exchanger welding equipment with weld point grinding function, firstly, the air conditioner heat exchanger workpiece is placed on the workpiece table 10 and fixed by the clamping mechanism 11. The clamping bolts on the vertical plate of the clamping mechanism 11 can adjust the position of the circular clamping block to adapt to workpieces of different sizes and ensure that the workpiece remains stable during welding and grinding.
[0048] The first servo motor 3 is started, which drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. The first slider 5 and the second slider 6 will move left and right on the threaded rod 4, thereby driving the welding device 8 and the grinding device 9 installed above them to move to the appropriate welding and grinding positions. The air conditioner heat exchanger is welded by the welding device 8.
[0049] After welding is completed, without disassembling the workpiece, the air conditioning heat exchanger on the workpiece table 10 is moved to below the grinding device 9, and the workpiece table 10 is limited. Then, the position of the grinding device 9 is moved using the above method to grind the air conditioning heat exchanger. During the grinding process, the chip extraction pump 21 and the second servo motor 27 are started. The second servo motor 27 drives the reciprocating screw 28 to rotate, causing the movable slider 29 to move up and down on the reciprocating screw 28. Since the chip extraction pipe 23 is connected to the movable slider 29 and the chip extraction pipe 23 has an elastic and extensible structure, the chip extraction nozzle 25 moves up and down with the movable slider 29, sucking in the grinding debris through the chip extraction pipe 23 and then discharging it into the collection box 22 through the chip discharge pipe 24, keeping the working area clean and preventing secondary damage to the equipment and workpiece caused by the debris, thus completing a series of tasks.
