Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air conditioning technology, and in particular to a tooling mold for positioning a bottle body. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of automotive air conditioning systems, the receiver-drier plays a crucial role as a core functional component ensuring system stability and reliability. It not only stores and dynamically regulates the refrigerant within the system, ensuring a stable refrigerant supply during system load changes (such as vehicle start-up, acceleration, or drastic temperature fluctuations), but also effectively removes moisture from the refrigerant and impurities from the piping through its internal desiccant and filter structure. This prevents problems such as ice blockage and corrosion caused by moisture, while also preventing impurities from clogging the expansion valve or damaging the compressor. Providing a dry and clean operating environment for the air conditioning system directly affects its cooling efficiency and service life.

[0003] In existing technologies, the assembly and fixing methods for liquid receiver desiccant bottles have evolved from simple binding to bracket fixing. Early methods, using straps for direct binding, while achieving initial positioning, had significant drawbacks: the binding force was difficult to control precisely, and long-term use could lead to loosening or even detachment due to vehicle vibration, directly affecting the air conditioning system's sealing performance, potentially causing refrigerant leaks or abnormal system pressure, leading to refrigeration failure or safety hazards. To address this issue, the industry gradually transitioned to bracket fixing solutions, where a bracket forms a rigid connection with the liquid receiver desiccant bottle, and the bracket is then fixed to the vehicle body structure to improve stability.

[0004] However, since liquid storage desiccant bottles are mostly cylindrical with smooth surfaces and lack positioning features, they are prone to circumferential rotation or axial misalignment during assembly with brackets, resulting in insufficient installation accuracy. Furthermore, some existing bracket designs use highly elastic materials to accommodate the bottle's curvature, providing some cushioning. However, the bracket's excessive resilience and toughness make it difficult to stably attach the bracket to the bottle during manual operation alone. In actual production, at least two operators are often required: one continuously applies external force to press the bracket firmly against the bottle, while the other simultaneously tightens the bolts. This not only increases labor costs and reduces production efficiency but also can lead to insufficient fixing accuracy between the bracket and the bottle due to uneven manual tightening force and alignment deviations, resulting in localized stress concentrations or gaps. Over long-term use, this can still cause loosening, abnormal noise, or bottle wear. In addition, the instability of manual operation can lead to poor product consistency, affecting the standardization of subsequent vehicle assembly and increasing the difficulty of quality control. Therefore, optimizing the assembly structure of the liquid storage drying bottle and the support, reducing installation difficulty, improving fixation stability and reducing manual labor dependence have become key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the existing technology.

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the function of this bottle positioning bracket tooling mold is to assist in fitting bracket A onto the desiccant bottle B, and then tightening bolt C at the joint of bracket A to secure bracket A to the desiccant bottle B. Bracket A has only one joint; tightening bolt C at the joint locks it onto the desiccant bottle B. This embodiment discloses a bottle positioning bracket tooling mold for securing bracket A to the desiccant bottle B, comprising a base plate 1 and product brackets 2 mounted on the base plate 1. In this embodiment, there are two product brackets 2 (the number can be increased according to the length of the desiccant bottle B), spaced apart along the length of the desiccant bottle B. Their surfaces are machined with arc surfaces matching the contour of the desiccant bottle B, used to support the desiccant bottle B and limit its radial movement.

[0034] To achieve precise positioning and fixation of the desiccant bottle B and the support A, this invention also includes four sets of quick clamps. Specifically, it includes a first quick clamp 3 (clamping the upper wing A1 of the support) and a second quick clamp 4 (clamping the lower wing A2 of the support) symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the desiccant bottle B, and a third quick clamp 5 (abutting against the tail of the desiccant bottle B) and a fourth quick clamp 6 (pressing against the head of the desiccant bottle B) symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the desiccant bottle B. When the four sets of clamps work together, the support A and the desiccant bottle B can be tightly fixed so that the subsequent covering installation can be completed by fasteners. In this embodiment, the fasteners are bolts C.

[0035] Combination Figure 4See, the curved surface of the product bracket 2 matches the shape of the desiccant bottle B, ensuring a stable fit after placement. The bracket also has a first positioning pin 7, which engages with the hole in the upper wing A1 of the support to pre-position the support A. The first quick clamp 3 is fixed to the base plate 1 via a support column 8. The first quick clamp 3 includes a first support plate 301, a first handle 302, a first swing arm 303, a first pressure rod 304, and a linkage plate 305. The first support plate 301 is fixed to the top of the support column 8, with the first handle 302 and the first swing arm 303 hinged to its upper part. The two ends of the linkage plate 305 are respectively hinged to the first handle 302 and the first swing arm 303, forming a four-bar linkage. The first pressure rod 304 is vertically connected to the end of the first swing arm 303, and its head is fitted with an elastic rubber head 10 to prevent damage to the surface of the upper wing A1 of the support during clamping. In operation, swinging the first handle 302 causes the first swing arm 303 to rotate via the linkage plate 305, so that the first pressure rod 304 presses against the upper wing A1 of the bracket; swinging back causes the first handle 302 to be released, achieving quick clamping.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, the second quick clamp 4 includes a second support plate 401, a sleeve 402, a second pressure rod 403, a rotating plate 404, a second handle 405, and a pull rod 406. The second support plate 401 is fixed to the base plate 1, the sleeve 402 is welded to the second support plate 401, and the second pressure rod 403 is sleeved inside the sleeve 402 and can slide axially. The rotating plate 404 is hinged to the second support plate 401 by a pin, and the rotating plate 404 is connected to the second handle 405. The rotating plate 404 is also hinged to the second pressure rod 403 by the pull rod 406. In operation, rotating the second handle 405 counterclockwise drives the rotating plate 404 to rotate counterclockwise, pushing the second pressure rod 403 to slide along the sleeve 402 through the pull rod 406, thereby pressing the lower wing A2 of the bracket; rotating the handle clockwise causes the pressure rod to reset and release.

[0037] The third quick clamp 5 includes a first support 501, a first push plate 502, positioning posts 503, a first frame 504, a first guide cylinder 505, a first push rod 506, a first handle 507, and a first linkage 508. The first support 501 is fixed to the base plate 1, and the first push plate 502 is slidably connected to the first support 501. The front end of the first push plate 502 is provided with two positioning posts 503 (matching the hole B1 at the tail end of the drying bottle). The first guide cylinder 505 is fixed on the first frame 504, and the first push rod 506 is sleeved in the guide cylinder and connected to the first push plate 502. The first handle 507 is hinged to the first frame 504 and is hinged to the first push rod 506 through the first linkage 508. In operation, rotating the first handle 507 pushes the first push rod 506 forward along the first guide cylinder 505 via the first linkage 508, causing the first push plate 502 to slide, so that the positioning post 503 is inserted into the hole B1 at the tail end of the drying bottle and pressed against it, thereby achieving axial positioning.

[0038] The fourth quick clamp 6 is symmetrical to the third quick clamp 5 and includes a second support 601, a second push plate 602, a second frame 603, a second guide cylinder 604, a second push rod 605, a second handle 606, and a second linkage 607. The second support 601 is fixed on the base plate 1. The second push plate 602 is slidably disposed on the second support 601 and corresponds to the head of the desiccant B. The second support 601 is provided with a second bracket 603, and the second bracket 603 is provided with a second guide cylinder 604. The second push plate 602 is connected to a second push rod 605, which is slidably connected to the second guide cylinder 604. The second bracket 603 is hinged to a second handle 606, which is hinged to two ends of the second linkage 607. The other two ends of the second linkage 607 are hinged to the second push rod 605. The second push plate 602 corresponds to the head of the desiccant B, and its front end is flat, which is used to directly press against the bottle body. The second push rod 605 is coaxially disposed with the first push rod 506 of the third quick clamp 5 to ensure that the desiccant B is subjected to balanced forces. Specifically, by rotating the second handle 606, the second linkage 607 pushes the second push rod 605 and the second push plate 602 forward, pressing against the head of the dryer bottle B, and cooperating with the third clamp to achieve axial fixation of the dryer bottle B.

[0039] The base plate 1 is also equipped with a pressing device 9, including a pressure platform 901, a mounting block 902, and a T-shaped pressing block 903 fixed to the base plate 1. The pressure platform 901 is fixed to the base plate 1, the mounting block 902 is provided with a mounting opening, and the T-shaped pressing block 903 can be laterally slidably connected to the mounting block 902 through the mounting opening; combined with Figure 8 It can be seen that the T-shaped clamping block 903 has a through hole 9031 for the bolt C to pass through. During operation, after the bracket A is installed on the desiccant bottle B, the first quick clamp 3 is used to fix the upper wing A1 of the bracket, and then the second quick clamp 4 is used to fix the lower wing A2 of the bracket; next, the third quick clamp 5 is used to hold the tail of the desiccant bottle B (at this step, the desiccant bottle B can be rotated slightly so that the hole B1 at the tail end of the desiccant bottle can be inserted into the positioning post 503 accordingly), and finally the fourth quick clamp 6 is used to hold the head of the desiccant bottle B. After the bracket A and the desiccant bottle B are pre-fixed as described above, the T-shaped clamping block 903 can be slid to the joint of the bracket A, and the screw is passed through the through hole 9031 and tightened to press the covering surface of the bracket A tightly against the bottle body.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are two positioning posts 503, so that when the positioning post 503 is inserted into the hole B1 at the tail end of the drying bottle, it can be stably positioned and the drying bottle B will not rotate.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, place the desiccant bottle B, after mounting bracket A, horizontally on the arc surface of the product bracket 2, ensuring that the bottle body fits the arc surface; then, align the hole of the upper wing A1 of the bracket with the first positioning pin 7 of the product bracket 2 to initially position bracket A; then, operate the first quick clamp 3 and the second quick clamp 4 to press the upper wing A1 and the lower wing A2 of the bracket respectively, achieving circumferential fixation of bracket A; next, operate the third quick clamp 5 to insert the positioning pin 503 into the hole B1 at the tail end of the desiccant bottle and hold it in place; operate the fourth quick clamp 6 to press against the head of the desiccant bottle B, completing the axial fixation of the desiccant bottle B; finally, slide the T-shaped pressure block 903 of the sliding pressure device 9 to the interface of bracket A, and tighten the bolt C through the through hole 9031 to cover and fix bracket A onto the desiccant bottle B. After the bracket A is locked onto the desiccant bottle B, reverse the above steps to loosen them sequentially, and the assembled product can be removed.

[0042] This utility model has a compact structure and is easy to operate. Through the coordinated action of multiple sets of quick clamps, it achieves precise positioning and rapid clamping of the drying bottle B and the support A. Only one person is needed to operate it, saving labor costs and avoiding deviations caused by manual handling, which is conducive to standardized operation.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
