[0001] This application relates to the field of tooling, and in particular to an electrical control cabinet bracket installation tooling and an electrical control cabinet bracket installation assembly. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of heat exchangers and other equipment, the installation of electrical control cabinet brackets is an indispensable and important step. The quality of its installation directly affects the normal operation and subsequent performance of the equipment. Precise and efficient installation technology is a goal that the industry is constantly pursuing.
[0003] Currently, the installation of electrical control cabinet brackets commonly employs a manual, collaborative installation method. First, the installation position of the bracket is measured and determined using a ruler. Then, one operator holds the bracket while another welds it onto the heat exchanger. This operation requires two operators, resulting in low installation efficiency. Furthermore, the multiple combinations of horizontal distances and installation heights for the brackets significantly increase the complexity of measurement and installation for on-site personnel, making it difficult to guarantee consistency and accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture and electrical control cabinet bracket mounting components to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides an electrical control cabinet bracket installation tool and an electrical control cabinet bracket installation assembly to improve installation efficiency and accuracy.
[0006] This application discloses an electrical control cabinet bracket installation fixture, including a height adjustment part, a horizontal adjustment part, and an electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform. The horizontal adjustment part includes a slide rail connected to the height adjustment part and a slider connected to the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform. The slide rail is horizontally arranged, and the slider slides along the slide rail to drive the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform to move.
[0007] Furthermore, the height adjustment unit includes a support frame and a movable rod, the upper part of the support frame overlaps with the lower part of the movable rod, the movable rod is connected to the slide rail, and the movable rod can move relative to the support frame in the height direction.
[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment unit also includes a fixing ring and a locking device disposed on the fixing ring. The fixing ring is located at the connection between the support frame and the movable rod, and the locking device is used to fix the relative position of the movable rod and the support frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the leveling unit also includes a handwheel and a rotating shaft located on one side of the slide rail. The two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively connected to the handwheel and the slide rail. The handwheel controls the slider to slide along the slide rail through the rotating shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the leveling unit also includes a locking member and a mechanical digital display sleeved on the rotating shaft. The locking member is used to fix the slider, and the mechanical digital display is used to display the movement distance of the slider.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a fixed pressure head, which is fixed to the electrical control cabinet support platform and located on one side of the width direction of the electrical control cabinet support platform.
[0012] Furthermore, the side of the electrical control cabinet support platform away from the fixed pressure head is folded upward to form a flange.
[0013] Furthermore, a positioning pin is provided on the top of the electrical control cabinet support platform; the number of positioning pins is a pair, and the pair of positioning pins are respectively located near the two ends of the electrical control cabinet support platform in the length direction.
[0014] This application also discloses an electrical control cabinet bracket installation assembly for positioning the electrical control cabinet bracket and the heat exchanger. It includes the electrical control cabinet bracket installation fixture and a horizontal distance measuring instrument as described above.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.
[0027] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementation methods can complement or combine with each other.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an electrical control cabinet bracket installation fixture 100, which is used to assist in the positioning and installation of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 and the heat exchanger 300.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100 includes a height adjustment part 10, a horizontal adjustment part 20, and an electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30. The horizontal adjustment part 20 is located above the height adjustment part 10, the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 is located above the horizontal adjustment part 20, and the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 is placed on the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30.
[0031] The height adjustment unit 10 is used to move the horizontal adjustment unit 20 and the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 along the height direction, thereby adjusting the installation height of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200. The height adjustment unit 10 includes a support frame 11, a movable rod 12, a fixing ring 13, and a locking device 14. The movable rod 12 is located at the top of the support frame 11 and is connected to the horizontal adjustment unit 20. The upper part of the support frame 11 overlaps with the lower part of the movable rod 12, and the movable rod 12 can move relative to the support frame 11 along the height direction.
[0032] Specifically, the support frame 11 includes a base 111 and a support rod 112. The base 111 is placed on the ground or a mounting platform, and the support rod 112 extends upward from the base 111 and cooperates with the movable rod 12. In this embodiment, the base 111 and the support rod 112 are welded and fixed. The base 111 is in the shape of a circular plate, and the support rod 112 is in the shape of a hollow tube. In some cases, the base 111 can also be set to other shapes such as rectangles or triangles, or the base 111 can be set to other styles, such as adding fixed pulleys to the bottom of the plate structure to facilitate the overall movement of the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100. This application does not limit this.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the support rod 112 and the movable rod 12 are round rods. The support rod 112 is hollow, and the diameter of the movable rod 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the support rod 112. Thus, the upper part of the support rod 112 is sleeved with the lower part of the movable rod 12, and the movable rod 12 can move along the height direction within the support rod 112. In some cases, the movable rod 12 can also be sleeved outside the support rod 112.
[0034] The retaining ring 13 is located at the connection between the support frame 11 and the movable rod 12. The locking device 14 is mounted on the retaining ring 13 to fix the relative position of the movable rod 12 and the support frame 11. Since the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 has different installation positions in the height direction, the movable rod 12 is marked with scale lines corresponding to these different installation positions. During the installation and positioning process, the movable rod 12 moves relative to the support frame 11 in the height direction. When the corresponding scale line is flush with the upper surface of the retaining ring 13, it indicates that the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 has been positioned in the designated installation position in the height direction. At this point, the locking device 14 is operated to fix the movable rod 12, thus positioning the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 in the height direction.
[0035] In this embodiment, the retaining ring 13 is welded to the top of the support rod 112, and the locking device 14 is fixed to one side of the retaining ring 13. The locking device 14 is a rotary one-button pressing locking device. When the handle of the locking device 14 is rotated downward, the relative position of the movable rod 12 and the support frame 11 can be fixed.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal adjustment unit 20 is used to move the electrical control cabinet support platform 30 horizontally, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the electrical control cabinet support 200. The horizontal adjustment unit 20 includes a slide rail 21, a slider 22, a handwheel 23, a rotating shaft 24, a locking element 25, and a mechanical digital display 26. The slide rail 21 is connected to the height adjustment unit 10, and the slider 22 is located at the top of the slide rail 21 and connected to the electrical control cabinet support platform 30. The slide rail 21 is horizontally positioned, and the slider 22 slides along the slide rail 21 to move the electrical control cabinet support platform 30. It can be understood that the horizontal adjustment unit 20 actually moves the electrical control cabinet support 200 along the length of the slide rail 21.
[0037] Handwheel 23 and rotating shaft 24 are located on one side of slide rail 21, near the end of slide rail 21. The two ends of rotating shaft 24 are connected to handwheel 23 and slide rail 21 respectively. Handwheel 23 controls slider 22 to slide along slide rail 21 via rotating shaft 24. Locking element 25 and mechanical digital display 26 are fitted onto rotating shaft 24. Locking element 25 is used to fix the position of slider 22. Mechanical digital display 26 is used to display the movement distance of slider 22, facilitating precise control of the adjustment by the operator.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the handwheel 23 rotates, it drives the slide rail 21 to slide via the shaft 24. For each revolution of the handwheel 23, the slider 22 moves 3mm along the slide rail 21. The locking element 25 is a shaft-mounted locking device; rotating the switch on the locking element 25 locks the handwheel 23, preventing it from rotating and thus preventing the slider 22 from moving along the slide rail 21. The operator controls the slider 22 to slide along the slide rail 21 by rotating the handwheel 23, making the leveling operation more convenient and effortless, improving the controllability of the leveling adjustment, and thus increasing installation efficiency.
[0039] Furthermore, the leveling unit 20 also includes a slide rail mounting plate 27, which is located at the top of the movable rod 12. The slide rail 21 is connected to the movable rod 12 via the slide rail mounting plate 27. Specifically, the slide rail mounting plate 27 is welded to the movable rod 12, and the slide rail 21 is screwed to the slide rail mounting plate 27. The maximum load capacity of the slide rail 21 is 600N.
[0040] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 5 The electrical control cabinet support platform 30 is used to place the electrical control cabinet support 200. It is fixed above the slider 22 and moves with the slider 22. A positioning pin 32 is provided on the top of the electrical control cabinet support platform 30, and a corresponding positioning hole 210 is provided on the electrical control cabinet support 200. In this embodiment, the number of positioning pins 32 is one pair, with each pair of positioning pins 32 positioned near both ends of the electrical control cabinet support platform 30 along its length (i.e., the extension direction of the slide rail 21) to achieve precise positioning of the electrical control cabinet support 200 and reduce installation deviations. The number of positioning holes 210 is also set to one pair. It can be understood that the number of positioning pins 32 and positioning holes 210 can be flexibly designed according to actual needs.
[0041] Specifically, the positioning hole 210 is an oblong hole, with its long axis extending parallel to the width direction of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30. Thus, when the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 is placed on the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30, the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 can move slightly along the width direction of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30, thereby ensuring that the part of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 connected to the heat exchanger 300 is tightly against the heat exchanger 300, facilitating subsequent welding.
[0042] Furthermore, in order to fix the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 in its relative position on the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30, the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100 of this application also includes a fixing head 40. The fixing head 40 is fixed to the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 and is located on one side of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 in the width direction. The side of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 away from the fixing head 40 is folded upward to form a flange 31.
[0043] In practical applications, the flange 31 is located on the side closer to the heat exchanger 300. Since the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 needs to be close to the heat exchanger 300 after positioning for subsequent welding, its center of gravity will be biased towards the heat exchanger 300. The flange 31 helps to limit the electrical control cabinet bracket 200, preventing it from detaching from the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 and excessively shifting or flipping towards the heat exchanger 300. The fixed pressure head 40 is located on the side away from the heat exchanger 300, facilitating manual operation by the operator.
[0044] In this embodiment, the fixing head 40 is a snap-on type. When the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 is moved to the designated installation position, the handle of the fixing head 40 can be pressed down to fix the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 on the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30, preventing it from moving or shaking on the electrical control cabinet bracket installation fixture 100.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides an electrical control cabinet bracket mounting assembly for positioning the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 and the heat exchanger 300. The electrical control cabinet bracket mounting assembly includes the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100 and the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 as described above.
[0046] A horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 is fixed to the heat exchanger 300 and used to measure the horizontal distance between the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 and the heat exchanger 300. Specifically, the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 is fixed to the end face of the tube sheet of the heat exchanger 300 to measure the horizontal installation position of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200, effectively improving the overall installation accuracy and avoiding the tediousness and errors of repeated manual measurement with a ruler in traditional installation processes. In this embodiment, the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 is a laser distance measuring instrument. When the laser shines on the side of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200, the distance obtained is the horizontal installation position dimension of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200. By comparing it with the specified installation dimensions, it can be determined whether the horizontal installation position of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 meets the standard.
[0047] Furthermore, the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting assembly also includes an adsorption component 60. The adsorption component 60 is adsorbed and fixed to the heat exchanger 300, and the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 is placed on the adsorption component 60. Specifically, the adsorption component 60 is a magnetic block that can be adsorbed onto the end face of the tube sheet of the heat exchanger 300, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. By using the adsorption component 60 to hold the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50, there is no need to set up an additional placement device on the heat exchanger 300, and the adsorption component 60 can be reused, which helps improve operational convenience and reduce costs.
[0048] In some cases, the horizontal rangefinder 50 can also be fixed to the heat exchanger 300 in other ways. For example, a clamping device can be provided on the heat exchanger 300 to clamp and fix the horizontal rangefinder 50; or, the horizontal rangefinder 50 can be suspended from the tube sheet end face of the heat exchanger 300. In some cases, the horizontal rangefinder 50 can also be fixed to the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 or the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100.
[0049] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 5 The complete installation process of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 is explained.
[0050] In this embodiment, the electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100 is placed on the ground. First, adjust the height adjustment unit 10 to move the movable rod 12 to the corresponding position along the height direction, and then operate the locking device 14 to fix the movable rod 12. Then, place the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 on the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30. Fix the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 to the tube sheet end face of the heat exchanger 300, turn on the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50, and move the entire electrical control cabinet bracket mounting fixture 100 so that the horizontal distance between the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 and the tube sheet end face of the heat exchanger 300 is approximately close to the specified installation distance.
[0051] Next, adjust the leveling unit 20. Turn the handwheel 23 to move the slider 22 along the slide rail 21, and drive the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 to move through the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 until the data read by the horizontal distance measuring instrument 50 (i.e., the distance between the tube sheet end face of the heat exchanger 300 and the side of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200) is consistent with the specified horizontal installation distance. Then, operate the locking piece 25 to fix the position of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30.
[0052] Next, position the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 close to the heat exchanger 300, ensuring that the parts to be welded are in close contact with the heat exchanger 300. Then, use the fixing pressure head 40 to secure the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 in place. Finally, weld the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 to the heat exchanger 300 to complete the installation of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200. Throughout the entire process, only one operator is required to position and install the electrical control cabinet bracket 200.
[0053] The electrical control cabinet bracket installation fixture 100 and the height adjustment unit 10 of the electrical control cabinet bracket installation assembly of this application can flexibly adjust the height of the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 according to different installation height requirements. The slide rail 21 and slider 22 of the horizontal adjustment unit 20 can drive the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30 to move horizontally to adapt to different horizontal distance requirements, which can meet the installation requirements of different size levels, and eliminates the need for repeated manual measurement with a ruler, effectively improving installation efficiency and positioning accuracy. At the same time, by setting the electrical control cabinet bracket placement platform 30, the electrical control cabinet bracket 200 can be stably placed without manual support, and a single person can complete the installation operation of the electrical control cabinet bracket 200, further improving installation efficiency.

The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
