Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiator assembly technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable-length fin support device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of a car's cooling system, the assembly precision of the radiator directly affects its heat dissipation efficiency. Traditional radiator assembly machines use a fixed support structure, which has the following drawbacks:

[0003] Poor model compatibility: The length of the heat pipes and fins needs to be customized due to differences in vehicle models (common range 350-1300mm). Existing support devices cannot adjust the length, and a complete set of tooling needs to be replaced every time the model is changed. Existing equipment relies on mechanical limit blocks to adjust the spacing of the support plates, and cannot achieve dynamic continuous adjustment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an adaptive support device that can quickly and accurately adjust the length. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem this invention solves is: how to quickly and accurately adjust the length of an adaptive support device according to different radiator models.

[0005] To solve the above problems, in a first aspect, this utility model provides an adjustable-length fin support device, comprising:

[0006] Fixed support platform;

[0007] Two symmetrically arranged device supports;

[0008] A drive mechanism is used to drive the two device supports to move in opposite directions or towards each other;

[0009] At least two sets of guide rods are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the fixed support platform;

[0010] Multiple support plates, with a set of support plates slidably connected on every two guide rods;

[0011] The traction belt has one end fixed to the device bracket and the other end fixed to the fixed support platform, and each support piece is fixedly connected to the traction belt.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the drive mechanism includes:

[0013] Drive motor;

[0014] The bidirectional lead screw is driven to rotate by the drive motor.

[0015] The sliding guide rail is set parallel to the bidirectional lead screw;

[0016] The device bracket is connected to a bidirectional lead screw via a slide block and is slidably mounted on a sliding guide rail.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the device support is L-shaped, with its horizontal section connected to the drive mechanism and its vertical section fixed to the traction belt.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the device support is provided with a linear bearing, which slides with the guide rod to achieve stable movement.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the device support is provided with an arrangement mechanism, including:

[0020] Two gears;

[0021] A timing belt connects two gears and has external teeth;

[0022] The outer teeth of the synchronous belt are used to engage with both ends of the heat sink to achieve equidistant distribution of the heat sink.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable-length fin support device of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] A drive mechanism pushes two support brackets to move towards each other. During this movement, the support brackets push the nearest support piece inward along the guide rod. As the support brackets continue to move, they then drive the next support piece to slide inward along the guide rod. This process allows for adjusting the total support length formed by all the support pieces as needed. When the two support brackets move in opposite directions, a traction belt extends, causing the nearest support piece to move outward. As the two support brackets continue to move in opposite directions, the next support piece is pulled outward. When the traction belt is fully extended, the total support length formed by all the support pieces reaches its maximum. Therefore, this invention can achieve different support lengths, thus flexibly adapting to heat dissipation fins of different lengths.

[0025] Secondly, this utility model embodiment provides a radiator assembly machine, including the adjustable-length fin support device described in the first aspect.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the fixed support platform is fixed to the base of the radiator assembly machine by a support column.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the radiator assembly machine of this utility model is the same as the adjustable length fin support device described in the first aspect, so it will not be described again here. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this utility model described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or implementation. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or implementations.

[0041] The problem this application aims to solve is that existing radiators have different models and different lengths of heat pipes and fins, and current radiator assembly machines cannot assemble heat pipes or radiators of different models (lengths), which greatly limits their use.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an adjustable-length fin support device, comprising:

[0043] Fixed support platform 700;

[0044] Two symmetrically arranged device supports 300;

[0045] The drive mechanism 100 is used to drive the two device supports 300 to move in opposite directions or towards each other.

[0046] At least two sets of guide rods 400 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the fixed support platform 700;

[0047] Multiple support plates 200, with a set of support plates 200 slidably connected on every two guide rods 400;

[0048] The traction belt 500 has one end fixed to the device bracket 300 and the other end fixed to the fixed support platform 700, and each support piece 200 is fixedly connected to the traction belt 500.

[0049] When the device support 300 is driven to move closer to the fixed support platform 700, the traction belt 500 bends to reduce the spacing between the support plates 200, thereby adjusting the support length.

[0050] Specifically, the drive mechanism 100 pushes two device supports 300 to move towards each other. During this movement, the support 200 closest to the device support 300 slides inward along the guide rod 400. As the device support 300 continues to move, it then drives the next support 200 to slide inward along the guide rod 400. This process allows for adjusting the support length formed by all the support fins 200 as needed. When the two device supports 300 move in opposite directions, the traction belt 500 extends, causing the support fin 200 closest to the device support 300 to move outward. As the two device supports 300 continue to move in opposite directions, the next support fin 200 is pulled outward. When the traction belt 500 is fully extended, the support length formed by all the support fins 200 reaches its maximum. Therefore, this invention can achieve different support lengths, thus flexibly adapting to heat dissipation fins of different lengths.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 100 includes:

[0052] Drive motor 110;

[0053] The bidirectional lead screw 120 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 110;

[0054] The sliding guide rail 130 is set parallel to the bidirectional lead screw 120;

[0055] The device bracket 300 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 120 via a slide block and is slidably mounted on the sliding guide rail 130.

[0056] The drive motor 110 drives the bidirectional lead screw 120 to rotate; the bidirectional lead screw 120 pushes the slide block to slide along the sliding guide rail 130, causing the device bracket 300 to move synchronously in the opposite direction. This ensures that the displacement of the device brackets 300 on both sides is symmetrical, the sliding guide rail 130 reduces vibration, and improves the positioning accuracy of the support plate 200.

[0057] The device bracket 300 is L-shaped, with its horizontal section connected to the drive mechanism 100 and its vertical section fixed to the traction belt 500. The L-shaped arrangement of the device bracket 300 allows the horizontal section to receive driving force, while the vertical section transmits tension to the traction belt 500. This also facilitates the installation of linear bearings and adapts to the compact layout of the assembly machine.

[0058] In this embodiment, a linear bearing is provided on the device support 300, and the linear bearing slides with the guide rod 400 to achieve stable movement. The device support 300 is equipped with a linear bearing that slides with the guide rod 400. The linear bearing is sleeved on the guide rod 400. When the device support 300 moves, the bearing slides along the guide rod 400, reducing the coefficient of friction and ensuring smooth movement of the device support 300.

[0059] The device support 300 is provided with an arrangement mechanism, including:

[0060] Two gears;

[0061] A timing belt connects two gears and has external teeth;

[0062] The outer teeth of the synchronous belt are used to engage with both ends of the heat sink 610 to achieve equidistant distribution of the heat sinks.

[0063] When adjusting the bracket spacing, the timing belt moves accordingly; the outer teeth of the timing belt engage with both ends of the heat sink 610, constraining the tube spacing. It should be noted that a motor is also included, which can drive one of the gears to rotate, causing the timing belt to rotate, thereby dynamically aligning the heat sink 610 and the heat sink fins 600. A heat sink positioning assembly is also included, mounted on the device bracket 300, used to fix the axial position of the heat sink 610 during the adjustment of the support plate 200 spacing. Through the heat sink positioning assembly, the mechanical clamp locks the heat sink during dynamic adjustment, allowing only radial displacement, ensuring that the heat sink and fin holes are aligned.

[0064] This utility model embodiment also provides a radiator assembly machine, including the above-mentioned adjustable-length fin support device.

[0065] The fixed support platform 700 is fixed to the base of the radiator assembly machine by a support column.

[0066] The aforementioned support device is integrated into the assembly line. The fixed platform 700 is rigidly connected to the base, the base support column provides stable support, and the support device performs the fin positioning task.

[0067] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
