[0002] The production process of serpentine radiators typically involves various processing operations, such as cutting, fin trimming, and grinding. Currently, most processing platforms for producing serpentine radiators face the following technical challenges:

[0003] The existing equipment lacks sufficient processing precision: traditional processing platforms are unable to achieve high-precision processing of serpentine radiators, resulting in unstable quality of the processed radiators, which affects the performance and service life of the radiators.

[0004] Low rotation and lifting accuracy: The rotation and lifting mechanisms of most equipment have limited accuracy, making it impossible to perform high-precision rotation indexing motion and stable lifting control. This makes it difficult to meet the precise positioning requirements for multi-station conversion and processing in the production of serpentine radiators, and easily leads to the accumulation of processing errors.

[0005] Unreasonable equipment structure layout: Traditional processing equipment structure layouts often make it difficult to achieve efficient transmission and stable support within a limited space, resulting in the need to improve the overall performance and reliability of the equipment, and failing to meet the requirements of large-scale, continuous production.

[0006] Low processing efficiency: Traditional processing equipment and its power system are unable to efficiently complete the processing of serpentine radiators. The processing speed is slow and the processing time is long, which makes it difficult to meet the high efficiency requirements of modern production lines. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary lifting processing platform for producing serpentine radiators, which ensures efficient production and higher precision of the flat tubes on both sides of the serpentine radiator.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] First, it should be noted that after the serpentine wing flat tube used to make the serpentine radiator is bent, it needs to be further processed in this device, which mainly includes three steps: cutting, wing cutting, and polishing. Cutting involves removing the excess part of the two free ends of the serpentine wing flat tube that extends outside the serpentine body. Wing cutting involves trimming the left and right sides of each cut of the serpentine wing flat tube to the specified thickness. Finally, the polishing process removes the burrs generated by the flat tube in the aforementioned processes.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See Figure 1 , 2 4. This embodiment discloses a multi-station cutting and shaping device for producing serpentine heat sinks, including a rotary lifting processing platform based on precision rotary control and a modular processing unit.

[0032] The processing platform adopts a layered structural design, consisting of a base assembly 1, a rotary actuator assembly, and a vertical lifting assembly 3, forming an integrated assembly from bottom to top. The base assembly 1 has a built-in servo drive system, which is connected to the rotary actuator assembly via a precision worm gear transmission mechanism, enabling the rotary actuator assembly to perform precise rotational indexing motion around the vertical lifting assembly 3 at a preset angle.

[0033] The vertical lifting component 3 is equipped with a displacement sensor, which can perform precise lifting and positioning, and drive the modular processing unit to process the workpiece accordingly.

[0034] The modular processing unit is equipped with four functional workstations, which, in order of process flow, are: workpiece exchange station, transverse cutting station 8, longitudinal wing cutting station 9, and grinding station 10. Among them:

[0035] 1) The workpiece exchange station has loading and unloading functions. Finished workpieces are unloaded manually at this station and new workpieces to be processed are installed, so that the whole device can carry out cyclic processing.

[0036] 2) The transverse cutting station 8 is equipped with a dual-axis synchronous cutting system, which includes two sets of high-speed cutting spindles driven by high-precision servo motors and is equipped with carbide tools, which can realize synchronous cutting of the ends of flat tubes on both sides.

[0037] 3) The longitudinal wing cutting station 9 is equipped with a precision milling device, which adjusts the feed rate through the controller to realize the longitudinal milling of the left and right end faces of the flat tube cutting cut.

[0038] 4) The grinding station 10 is equipped with a dual-station grinding mechanism, including a grinding wheel set 102 with adaptive pressure adjustment, which can complete the surface finish treatment of the pipe end.

[0039] Each workstation is equipped with a photoelectric positioning sensor. When the clamping and positioning unit 4 carries the flat tube workpiece to the workstation, the photoelectric positioning sensor sends a signal to the controller, causing the rotary actuator to stop rotating. At the same time, the vertical lifting assembly performs a descent action. When the workstation is in position, the corresponding processing action begins.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This embodiment provides a detailed description of the base assembly 1 of the device:

[0042] See Figure 1 , 2 4. The base assembly 1 is located at the bottom of the entire device and constitutes the reference bearing module of the device. It integrates a rotary drive module and a hollow drive shaft 312. The rotary drive module includes a rotary motor 11, the output end of which is connected to the hollow drive shaft 312 by an interference fit to form a torque transmission connection; the hollow drive shaft 312 has an annular positioning boss on its axial end face.

[0043] Example 3

[0045] The rotary actuator includes a rotating bearing disk 2, wherein the center of the rotating bearing disk 2 is provided with a stepped mounting hole that precisely matches the outer wall of the hollow drive shaft 312.

[0046] When the controller sends a start signal to the rotary drive module, the servo motor starts and drives the hollow transmission shaft 312 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating bearing disk 2 of the rotary actuator to rotate. In this application, the bearing disk 2 needs to rotate 90° each time it moves from one station to the next, thereby realizing the precise rotation indexing motion of the rotary actuator at a preset angle.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] See Figure 1 , 2 4. This embodiment provides a detailed description of the rotary actuator of this device:

[0049] The vertical lifting assembly 3 adopts a multi-stage composite guide structure, including a coaxially assembled fixed base unit, a dynamic lifting unit, a top drive unit, and a distributed guide unit.

The hollow drive shaft 312 is annular in shape, and a bearing assembly is disposed in the hollow part inside. The top drive unit consists of a fixed top plate 321 and a high-precision servo drive mechanism 322 supported by it. The output end of the servo drive mechanism 322 is connected to a precision ball screw pair 323. The screw of the ball screw pair 323 passes through the fixed top plate 321, the dynamic lifting unit, and the fixed base unit in sequence, and its end is connected to the bearing assembly inside the hollow drive shaft 312 to form a rotating pair.

[0050] The dynamic lifting unit includes a lifting support plate 33 rigidly connected to the nut seat of the ball screw pair 323. The lifting support plate 33 has guide through holes distributed at equal angles around its periphery. The distributed guide unit includes several sets of guide columns 341 distributed at equal angles along the circumference. The upper and lower ends of each guide column 341 are fixedly connected to the fixed top plate 321 and the fixed bottom plate 311 by high-strength bolts, and form a clearance fit with the guide through holes of the lifting support plate 33. An oil-free bushing linear motion bearing 342 is embedded in the guide through hole, and the inner wall of the bearing maintains a clearance fit with the outer wall of the guide column 341.

The double-sided limiting module 46 clamps the left and right sides of the serpentine wing-shaped flat tube 7, the end positioning module 47 positions the front end of the serpentine wing-shaped flat tube 7, and the top clamping module 48 is detachably connected between the tops of the double-sided limiting modules 46 to clamp the top of the serpentine wing-shaped flat tube 7, preventing displacement during operation. The modules form a three-dimensional adjustable constraint system, particularly suitable for the flexible clamping of irregularly shaped workpieces such as the serpentine wing-shaped flat tube 7.

[0054] The transverse moving plate assembly 43 includes a jig slide rail base plate 431 and a jig base plate 432 above it; the jig slide rail base plate 431 is used to connect the transverse linear guide rail pair 45.

[0055] It should be noted that in the multi-station cutting and shaping device of this utility model, the rotating bearing plate rotates 90° around the ball screw pair 323; in this embodiment, the horizontal direction refers to the tangential direction of the rotating bearing plate at the location of the clamping and positioning unit 4, and the vertical direction refers to the radial direction of the rotating bearing plate at the location of the clamping and positioning unit 4.
