Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of radiator manufacturing equipment, specifically to an adjustable-length fin conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Radiators are commonly used in automotive cooling systems. Radiators are typically square-shaped and consist of several parts, including a water chamber (inlet / outlet chamber), a radiator core (made up of fins and heat pipes arranged alternately), a main board, and side panels. During assembly, the radiator core needs to be arranged first, which involves arranging the fins and heat pipes alternately.

[0003] Existing fin conveying devices for radiator assembly are mostly fixed designs. When it is necessary to adjust the conveying of fins of different lengths, it is often necessary to replace the conveying hardware, which cannot well adapt to the conveying requirements of fins of different sizes. Currently, there are also split conveying devices, which use multiple independent conveying units and can be spliced ​​to adapt to different lengths, but the structure is complex and the maintenance cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adjustable-length fin conveying device, which enables flexible adjustment of the conveying channel length to meet the conveying requirements of radiator fins of different sizes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] An adjustable-length fin conveying device is characterized in that it includes a frame, a movable conveyor frame assembly, a first pulley, a second pulley, a conveyor belt, and a locking mechanism. The movable conveyor frame assembly is disposed on the frame and can slide relative to it. The movable conveyor frame assembly includes a slide rail, a slider, and a conveying channel.

[0007] The first pulley and the second pulley are arranged vertically at intervals, and the conveyor belt wraps around the first pulley and the second pulley in an S-shape.

[0008] The slider is mounted on the frame, and the slide rail is slidably connected to the slider and connected to the second pulley and the conveying channel.

[0009] The locking mechanism is located below the slide rail and is used to lock the slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the first pulley is located above the second pulley, the conveying channel has side guards on both sides and is empty at the bottom, and the bottom of the conveying channel is located on the conveyor belt above the first pulley.

[0011] Furthermore, the slide rail is connected to the second pulley and the conveying channel via a connecting block.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying channel is connected to the first pulley.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a gripper and a gripper drive member, the gripper engaging with the slide rail, and the gripper drive member driving the gripper to move vertically.

[0014] Furthermore, the gripper drive is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the gripper.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two grippers, which are respectively located on both sides of the slide rail.

[0016] Furthermore, there are two sliders, spaced apart on the frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the length of the conveying channel through the sliding adjustment and locking mechanism of the movable conveying frame assembly, so as to adapt to the conveying needs of radiator fins of different sizes.

[0019] 2. This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure, reduces hardware investment, and can replace multiple sets of fixed conveyor belts, saving equipment investment and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Frame 1, first pulley 2, second pulley 3, conveyor belt 4, slide rail 51, slider 52, conveyor channel 53, connecting block 54, gripper 61, dual-axis cylinder 62. Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Example

[0026] refer to Figures 1-3It includes a frame 1, a movable conveyor frame assembly, a first pulley 2, a second pulley 3, a conveyor belt 4, and a locking mechanism. The movable conveyor frame assembly is mounted on the frame 1 and can slide relative to it. The movable conveyor frame assembly includes a slide rail 51, a slider 52, and a conveying channel 53.

[0027] The first pulley 2 (upper) and the second pulley 3 (lower) are arranged at intervals, and the conveyor belt 4 is arranged in an S-shape, passing around the first pulley 2 and the second pulley 3. The first pulley 2 and the second pulley 3 are driven by an external power source (such as a motor) to rotate, so as to realize the continuous movement of the conveyor belt 4.

[0028] There are two sliders 52, spaced apart on the frame 1. The slide rail 51 is slidably connected to the sliders 52 and connected to the second pulley 3 and the conveying channel 53 via the connecting block 54. The conveying channel 53 is connected to the first pulley 2. Specifically, the conveying channel 53 can be connected to the wheel axle bearing of the first pulley 2 by a connecting piece.

[0029] The first pulley 2 is located above the second pulley 3. The conveyor channel 53 has side flanges and an open bottom. The bottom of the conveyor channel 53 is located on the conveyor belt 4 above the first pulley 2. The bottom of the conveyor channel 53 has an open design, with the side flanges restricting the position of the fins. The bottom is directly supported by the conveyor belt 4 above the first pulley 2. When the conveyor belt 4 moves, it drives the fins placed in the conveyor channel 53 forward.

[0030] The slide rail 51 can slide horizontally along the slider 52. When the slide rail 51 moves, it synchronously drives the second pulley 3, the conveyor channel 53, and the first pulley 2 to move as a whole. The S-shaped path of the conveyor belt 4 automatically adapts to the change in the pulley spacing, thereby changing the effective length of the conveyor belt 4 at the bottom of the conveyor channel 53.

[0031] A locking mechanism is located below the slide rail 51 to lock the slide rail 51. The locking mechanism includes a gripper 61 and a gripper 61 drive member. The gripper 61 engages with the slide rail 51, and the gripper 61 drive member drives the gripper 61 to move vertically. In this embodiment, there are two grippers 61, located on both sides of the slide rail 51. The gripper 61 drive member is a dual-axis cylinder 62, and the piston rod of the dual-axis cylinder 62 is connected to the gripper 61. The shape of the gripper 61 is adapted to the shape of the groove in the slide rail 51.

[0032] When the position of slide rail 51 needs to be adjusted, the dual-axis cylinder 62 drives the two grippers 61 to move upward synchronously. The grippers 61 release, and the position of slide rail 51 can be manually adjusted. When slide rail 51 is adjusted to the target position, the dual-axis cylinder 62 drives the two grippers 61 to move downward synchronously. The grippers 61 clamp the two sides of slide rail 51 and fix slide rail 51 through the slot structure to prevent it from shifting during the conveying process.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
