Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated clamping devices in mechanical manufacturing, and more specifically, to a compressor coil height clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] The clamping of the compressor coil is a crucial step in the compressor assembly process. Traditional methods rely on manual operation, requiring the coil assembly to be manually removed from the storage box, the welding ring fitted onto the coil, and then the straight section of the coil installed into the exhaust pipe inside the lower casing. During this process, operators must manually adjust the coil height and clamp it using tools, resulting in low height positioning accuracy and inconsistent clamping. Manual operation is also susceptible to subjective factors, leading to deviations in coil installation height, causing quality defects in subsequent brazing processes, increasing rework rates, and resulting in high repetitive labor intensity and limited production efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies lack automated solutions, necessitating a device capable of automatically correcting height and precisely clamping the coils. Introducing automated mechanisms to replace manual intervention can eliminate human error and improve installation accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, traditional processes lack real-time monitoring and alarm functions, making it difficult to quickly identify clamping anomalies, further hindering production stability and product yield. Therefore, developing a dedicated device integrating height correction, automatic clamping, and status feedback has become a design direction for optimizing compressor coil assembly processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a compressor coil height clamping device, which can overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A compressor coil height clamping device;

[0007] The compressor coil height clamping device includes a top electrical control box, a lower frame, and a field line and lifting platform mounted on the lower frame. The field line has a first station and a second station, and a moving tooling tray along the line that carries the compressor coil. The lifting platform lifts the tooling tray to a preset height. Above the tooling tray is a height correction mechanism including a forward-pushing cylinder and an upper limit mechanism. The forward-pushing cylinder drives the height correction mechanism to extend and correct the height of the compressor coil, while the upper limit mechanism presses down to fix the corrected height. Below the tooling tray is a clamping mechanism including a lower clamping cylinder, which moves upward and clamps the internal exhaust pipe of the compressor coil. The top electrical control box is connected to a three-color alarm light, a touchscreen control box, and various actuators via an electrical control system, enabling automated control of actions and alarms for abnormal conditions.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the field production line is equipped with a station front barrier, which is used to automatically prevent the tooling pallet from entering the station and to identify the position status of the tooling pallet through a pallet sensor and a material sensor.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper limit mechanism of the height correction mechanism is linked with the lower clamping cylinder of the clamping mechanism. After the height correction is completed, the upper limit mechanism is pressed down to the limit, while the lower clamping cylinder moves up to clamp the inner exhaust pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the touchscreen control box is integrated on the side of the device and is used to set parameters, monitor the operation status of each mechanism, and trigger audible and visual alarm functions.

[0011] Furthermore, the tri-color alarm light is installed on the outside of the top electrical control box and is used to emit audible and visual signals when the equipment malfunctions or clamping fails.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting action of the lifting platform is linked to the timing of the height correction mechanism and the clamping mechanism. After the tooling pallet is lifted, the subsequent correction and clamping process is triggered.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism automatically resets after clamping, and each cylinder resets synchronously and releases the tooling tray to the next process.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning accuracy of the height correction mechanism and the clamping mechanism is controlled by a servo motor or photoelectric sensor to ensure the consistency of the coil installation height.

[0015] Furthermore, an upper cover is provided above the lower frame and outside the first and second workstations; the top electrical control box is located above the upper cover.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By combining the dual-station collaborative operation design with the automated linkage control of the height correction mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the coil height positioning accuracy and the entire clamping operation are fully automated. Combined with the three-color alarm light to monitor the process status in real time, the error of manual operation is effectively eliminated, ensuring the consistency of coil installation height, improving production efficiency, and reducing rework rate and labor intensity of operators.
