[0035] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly 3 also includes a second push cylinder 33, a first guide rod 34, a first mounting plate 35, and a first slider 36. The power hydraulic cylinder 31 and the tensioning cutter head 32 are mounted on the first mounting plate 35. The first mounting plate 35 is connected to the first slider 36 and the second push cylinder 33. The first slider 36 is connected to the first guide rod 34. The second push cylinder 33 drives the first mounting plate 35 to move axially along the first guide rod 34 until the tensioning cutter head 32 is below the through groove 212. Through the structure of the second push cylinder 33 and the first guide rod 34, the movement of the tensioning cutter head 32 is more precise and stable.

[0036] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly 3 also includes a locking cylinder 37 and a locking block 38. A slot 351 is formed on the first mounting plate 35, and the locking cylinder 37 drives the locking block 38 to engage with the slot 351.

The pressure head assembly 42 and the pressing cylinder 41 are mounted on the second mounting plate. The second mounting plate is connected to the second slider and the third push cylinder 43. The second slider is connected to the second guide rod 44. The third push cylinder 43 drives the second mounting plate to move axially along the second guide rod 44 until the pressure head assembly 42 is positioned above the housing and the bend. This makes the movement of the pressure head assembly 42 more precise and stable, improving the reliability and efficiency of the clamping operation.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom of the base plate is provided with support blocks on both sides for installation on mechanical equipment. The support blocks enable the transverse pressing fixture to be quickly installed on the required mechanical equipment.

[0040] Furthermore, the transverse pressing fixture also includes a detection component, which is set above the fixed platform assembly and is used to detect the positional deviation after the shell and the bent pipe are connected. The detection component includes a laser range sensor and a data processing unit. The laser range sensor collects the distance data of the connection point and transmits it to the data processing unit. The data processing unit determines whether there is a positional deviation according to a preset standard. If there is a deviation, an alarm signal is issued.

[0041] Furthermore, the base plate is also provided with a buffer pad, which is located at the contact position between the product fixing platform and the bend fixing platform and the base plate. The buffer pad is made of rubber material, which can effectively reduce the wear between the fixing platform assembly and the base plate and extend the service life of the tooling.

[0042] Furthermore, the pressure head assembly includes a replaceable pressure head module, which is connected to the output end of the pressure cylinder via magnetic attraction or snap-fit. When different specifications of automotive radiator housings and bends need to be assembled, the pressure head module can be replaced conveniently and quickly, improving the versatility of the transverse pressing tool.
