Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a heat exchanger core. Background Technology

[0002] The core of a flat-tube finned heat exchanger is formed by arranging several equally spaced metal flat tubes, with fins inserted between every two adjacent tubes. For the fins to be inserted into the tubes, the flat tubes need to be positioned first. Common methods for positioning and fixing the flat tubes involve using clamps on both sides, but this method makes it difficult to maintain a consistent spacing between the tubes. Since the fins are bonded to the flat tubes with adhesive, excessive spacing can lead to insecure connections. Alternatively, modules with equally spaced grooves can be used, placing the flat tubes within the grooves. However, these modules lack corresponding fixing devices, and the flat tubes may move along the grooves. Therefore, the idea is to combine the equally spaced module with the clamps on both sides of the flat tubes into a single unit, resulting in a heat exchanger core installation structure that integrates positioning and fixing.

Since the positioning blocks 6 are arranged at equal intervals, it can be ensured that the spacing between the tubes is also the same. Then, the first comb assembly 3 and the second comb assembly 4 are moved so that the two ends of the tubes extend into the positioning cavities 7 of the first comb assembly 3 and the second comb assembly 4 respectively. Each tube is positioned between two adjacent tooth plates 8, and the two ends of the tubes are respectively pressed against the positioning tooth plates 8 on both sides to ensure that the tubes do not move.

Each tube is positioned between two adjacent tooth plates 8, and the two ends of the tubes rest on the positioning tooth plates 8 on both sides to ensure that the tubes do not move. After the tubes are positioned and fixed, fins are installed between each pair of adjacent tubes. After the fins are installed, the first comb assembly 3 and the second comb assembly 4 are moved. At this time, the installed tubes and fins are placed on the working panel 2. The pressing assembly 5 presses the tubes and fins more tightly to ensure the quality of the heat exchanger core.
