Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper and aluminum tube welding technology, and in particular to a copper and aluminum tube welding device for refrigeration equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a manufacturing process and technology that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials such as plastics by heating, high temperature or high pressure.
[0003] When manufacturing, installing, or repairing refrigeration equipment, copper and aluminum pipes need to be welded. The current welding method is to weld manually using a welding torch. Because the melting temperatures of copper and aluminum pipes are quite different, the welding skills of the workers are required.
[0004] Existing copper and aluminum pipe welding devices for refrigeration equipment have limitations. When welding copper and aluminum pipes, the installation of the copper and aluminum pipes is relatively fixed, making it difficult to rotate the weld seam. Furthermore, the copper and aluminum pipes are not stably and accurately aligned before welding, which can easily lead to wobbling and misalignment at the weld.
[0005] Therefore, a copper-aluminum tube welding device for refrigeration equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the relatively fixed installation of copper and aluminum tubes, the inconvenience of circumferential rotation of the weld seam, and the difficulty in rotating the welding position. Therefore, this invention proposes a copper and aluminum tube welding device for refrigeration equipment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] Design a copper and aluminum tube welding device for refrigeration equipment, including a base, with pads fixed at both ends of the top of the base, a support frame fixed at the top of the pads, an installation mechanism rotatably mounted inside the support frame, a clamping mechanism inside the installation mechanism, a mounting frame fixed at the middle of the top of the base, and a welding head mounted at the middle of the bottom of the mounting frame. A copper tube passes through the interior of one installation mechanism, and an aluminum tube passes through the interior of the other installation mechanism. The installation mechanism includes an installation ring with evenly spaced toothed grooves on its outer side. A gear is rotatably mounted on the side of the support frame, located outside the installation ring, and meshes with the toothed grooves for transmission. A motor is mounted on the outer end of the gear. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping plate movably mounted inside the installation ring and securely clamps the copper tube to the outside.
[0009] Furthermore, the pad has a groove in the middle of its top end, the pad is horizontally positioned, the support frame is a U-shaped structure and is vertically positioned, the groove is an arc-shaped groove structure, and the mounting ring is a circular ring structure and is vertically positioned, with its bottom end slidingly inserted into the inside of the groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the support frame has a connecting hole, through which a connecting rod slides. The connecting rod is a threaded rod structure and is vertically positioned above the mounting ring.
[0011] Furthermore, nuts are connected to the surface of the connecting rod at the upper and lower ends of the connecting hole, and a snap-fit plate is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting rod. The snap-fit plate has an L-shaped structure and is slidably snapped into the inner top of the mounting ring.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner ring of the mounting ring is fixed with a plug-in frame, and a plug-in groove is opened inside the plug-in frame at a position located on the inner wall of the mounting ring.
[0013] Furthermore, a push rod is slidably inserted inside the insertion slot, the clamping plate is an arc-shaped plate structure and is fixed to the outside of the push rod, and the push rod is a rectangular rod structure and is distributed in a cross shape inside the mounting ring.
[0014] Furthermore, a spring is connected to the inner end of the push rod, and the spring is compressed and abuts against the inside of the insertion slot. Fastening holes are opened on both sides of the insertion frame, and bolts pass through the internal threads of the fastening holes. The inner end of the bolts abuts against the surface of the push rod, and the fastening holes are threaded holes.
[0015] Furthermore, the base is horizontally positioned, the mounting frame is a U-shaped structure and is vertically positioned between the two support frames, the welded ends of the copper tube and the aluminum tube are aligned and abut against each other, and pass through the two mounting rings respectively.
[0016] The copper and aluminum tube welding device for refrigeration equipment proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This utility model features a rotatable mounting ring between a support frame and a pad, connected by a toothed groove and a gear. The mounting ring is stably vertical and rotatable via a groove and a snap-fit plate. The connection between the aluminum tube and the copper tube is located at the bottom of the welding head. After being clamped and stabilized by a clamping mechanism, the welding head rotates during the welding process. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the meshing connection between the gear and the toothed groove drives the mounting ring and the copper and aluminum tubes to rotate synchronously. This allows for continuous circumferential welding of the weld joint at a fast welding speed.
[0018] 2. This utility model features a clamping mechanism inside the mounting ring. Therefore, the copper and aluminum tubes are clamped below the welding head by two mounting rings. The clamping plate is elastically and telescopically adjustable inside the mounting ring via a push rod and spring, allowing for the clamping of copper and aluminum tubes of different diameters. The push rod is secured to the inside of the insertion frame with bolts, ensuring stable clamping of the copper or aluminum tube. This improves the stability and accuracy of welding between aluminum tubes and enhances the welding quality between copper and aluminum tubes. Attached Figure Description
