Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of radiator calibration technology, and in particular relates to a radiator core calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing and repair of radiators, the heat dissipation fins of the core often bend or collapse due to handling or collisions, severely affecting heat dissipation efficiency and product appearance. Traditional correction methods mostly rely on manual tweezers or pry bars to straighten each fin individually, resulting in extremely low efficiency, high labor intensity, and poor consistency in correction results. Operators need to rely on experience and feel to operate, which can easily lead to secondary damage to the fins or detachment from the base plate due to uneven force. For the densely packed modern radiator cores, hand tools are difficult to insert into narrow gaps and cannot simultaneously shape multiple fins. Current technology lacks a dedicated tool that can quickly, accurately, and non-destructively complete batch correction of radiator core fins, which restricts the improvement of efficiency and quality in production and rework processes.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide a radiator core alignment device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a radiator core alignment device. A set of straightening plates is slidably installed on the outer side of the inner sleeve rod of the inner sleeve slide rod frame, so that each straightening plate is attached to the other two. A side pushing plate is set on both sides of the two straightening plates that are attached to each other. The two straightening plates that are attached to each other are inserted into the gap between adjacent fins of the radiator core, and the side pushing plates on both sides are pushed closer to the straightening plates, so that the two straightening plates that are attached to each other are moved away from each other, thereby quickly straightening and aligning the fins of the radiator core.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to a radiator core alignment device, comprising an inner sleeve slide bar frame, a bottom support slide bar frame, a set of clamping plates, and two sets of side pushing plates. The inner sleeve slide bar frame is a U-shaped structure with its opening facing upwards. Two inner sleeve rods are horizontally arranged and fixed between the two side plates of the inner sleeve slide bar frame. Sliding lugs are fixed on both sides of the upper end face of the clamping plates, and the two sliding lugs are slidably sleeved on the outside of the two inner sleeve rods. Nesting lugs are fixed on both sides of the lower end face of the clamping plates, and the lower end face of the nesting lugs has a rod insertion groove. The bottom support slide bar frame has its opening facing upwards. The U-shaped structure has two nested rods horizontally arranged between the two side plates of the bottom support slide rod frame. The rod grooves at the lower ends of the two nested ears are slidably sleeved on the upper outer walls of the two nested rods. A set of clamping plates are attached to each other in pairs. The side plates of the clamping plates that are attached to each other have inclined surfaces on both sides in the thickness direction. Two sets of side pushing plates are respectively set on both sides of a set of clamping plates. The side of the side pushing plate that is close to the clamping plate is a pointed conical surface. The pointed conical surface of the side pushing plate is embedded in the inclined surface of the side of the two clamping plates that are attached to each other.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that a return spring is provided between the sliding lugs at the upper end of each clamping plate, and the two ends of the return spring are respectively fixedly connected to the sides of the sliding lugs of the two clamping plates, and the return spring is sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve rod.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that side connecting plates are provided on both sides of the straightening plate, and the ends of the two sets of side pushing plates away from the straightening plate are respectively fixedly connected to the side plate surface of the side connecting plate close to the straightening plate.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that an outer frame is provided on the outside of the inner sliding rod frame. The outer frame is a U-shaped frame structure with the opening facing downwards. The upper end face of the inner sliding rod frame is fixed to the inner top surface of the outer frame. Two slide rails are fixedly arranged in an upper and lower array at both ends of the two side plates of the outer frame. Slide rail lugs are fixedly arranged in an upper and lower array at both ends of the side plates. Each slide rail is slidably sleeved in each slide rail lug.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that side-push cylinders are respectively provided on the outer sides of the two vertical plates of the outer frame, and the telescopic ends of the side-push cylinders pass through the side plates of the outer frame and are fixedly connected to the surface of the side connecting plate.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that an inner buckle plate is fixedly provided on the lower end face of the two side plates of the outer frame, and a bottom support plate is slidably provided on the upper end face of the inner buckle plate, with the bottom support plate attached to the lower end face of the bottom support slide rod frame.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention, by setting up a clamping plate that can be separated from each other and a side push plate structure that drives it, utilizes the cooperation between the conical surface of the side push plate and the inclined surface of the clamping plate to efficiently convert a single lateral thrust into a stable bidirectional separation motion of the clamping plate, thereby quickly and synchronously opening and correcting multiple sets of bent heat dissipation fins, significantly improving correction efficiency and consistency.

[0012] This utility model uses a double-layer sliding guide mechanism composed of an inner sliding rod frame and a bottom support sliding rod frame to provide precise guidance and support for the movement of the clamping plate and the side pushing plate, ensuring the stability and controllability of the force during the correction process, and effectively avoiding inaccurate correction or damage to the components caused by mechanism shaking or off-center loading.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model is a radiator core correction device, including an inner sleeve slide rod frame 1, a bottom support slide rod frame 2, a set of clamping straight plates 3, and two sets of side pushing plates 4. The inner sleeve slide rod frame 1 is a U-shaped structure with an upward opening. Two inner sleeve rods 101 are horizontally arranged and fixed between the two side plates of the inner sleeve slide rod frame 1. Sliding lugs 301 are fixed on both sides of the upper end face of the clamping straight plate 3, and the two sliding lugs 301 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the two inner sleeve rods 101. Nested lugs 302 are fixed on both sides of the lower end face of the clamping straight plate 3, and the lower end face of the nested lugs 302 has a rod insertion groove 302a. The bottom support slide rod frame 2 is a U-shaped structure with an upward opening. Two nested rods 201 are horizontally arranged and fixed between the two side plates of the bottom support slide rod frame 2, and the rod insertion grooves 302a at the lower end of the two nested lugs 302 are... A set of straight clamping plates 3 are slidably fitted onto the upper outer walls of the two nested rods 201. Two sets of straight clamping plates 3 are attached together in pairs. The sides of the straight clamping plates 3 that are attached to each other have beveled surfaces on both sides in the thickness direction. Two sets of side-pressing plates 4 are respectively set on both sides of a set of straight clamping plates 3. The side of the side-pressing plate 4 closest to the straight clamping plate 3 has a pointed conical surface. The pointed conical surface of the side-pressing plate 4 is embedded in the beveled surfaces of the two attached straight clamping plates 3. By inserting a set of straight clamping plates 3 into the fin gaps of the radiator core, the two side-pressing plates 4 are pushed towards the straight clamping plates 3. The cooperation between the pointed conical surface of the side-pressing plate 4 and the beveled surface of the straight clamping plate 3 causes the two attached straight clamping plates 3 to move away from each other, thereby opening and correcting the bent fins, achieving rapid, batch correction, and improving efficiency and consistency.

[0022] Specifically, a return spring 301a is provided between the sliding lugs 301 at the upper end of each clamping plate 3. The two ends of the return spring 301a are fixedly connected to the sides of the sliding lugs 301 of the two clamping plates 3 respectively. The return spring 301a is sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve rod 101. The return spring 301a can automatically pull the clamping plate 3 back to the initial fitting position after the correction action is completed, which facilitates the device to quickly reset and perform the next operation. At the same time, it ensures that the clamping plate 3 remains stable in the non-working state, avoids malfunction, and improves the ease of operation and work efficiency of the device.

[0023] Furthermore, side connecting plates 401 are respectively provided on both sides of the straightening plate 3. The ends of the two sets of side pushing plates 4 away from the straightening plate 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the side plate surface of the side connecting plate 401 close to the straightening plate 3. The side connecting plate 401 provides a uniform mounting base for the side pushing plates 4, ensuring that the two side pushing plates 4 move synchronously, avoiding uneven force on one side causing the straightening plate 3 to jam or be inaccurately corrected, thus enhancing the overall integrity and coordination of the mechanism.

[0024] Furthermore, an outer frame 102 is provided on the outer side of the inner sliding rod frame 1. The outer frame 102 is a U-shaped frame structure with the opening facing downwards. The upper end face of the inner sliding rod frame 1 is fixed to the inner top surface of the outer frame 102. Two slide rails 102a are fixedly arranged vertically at both ends of the two side plates of the outer frame 102. Slide rail lugs 401a are fixedly arranged vertically at both ends of the side plate 401. Each slide rail 102a is slidably fitted into each slide rail lug 401a. The outer frame 102 provides rigid support and protection for the entire calibration device. The cooperation between the slide rails 102a and the slide rail lugs 401a ensures that the side plate 401 moves smoothly along a straight line, reducing friction and shaking, making the advancement of the side push plate 4 more precise and controllable, and further improving the calibration accuracy and equipment durability.

[0025] Furthermore, side-push cylinders 102b are respectively provided on the outer sides of the vertical plates on both sides of the outer frame 102. The telescopic ends of the side-push cylinders 102b pass through the side plates of the outer frame 102 and are fixedly connected to the surface of the side plate 401. The side-push cylinders 102b provide stable and reliable automated thrust, driving the side plate 401 and the side-push pressure plate 4 to move precisely, realizing the mechanized operation of the correction process, reducing the intensity of manual labor, and improving work efficiency and consistency.

[0026] Furthermore, inner buckle plates 102c are fixedly provided on the lower end surfaces of the two side plates of the outer frame 102, and bottom support plates 102c-1 are slidably provided on the upper end surface of the inner buckle plates 102c. The bottom support plates 102c-1 are attached to the lower end surface of the bottom support slide frame 2. The inner buckle plates 102c and the bottom support plates 102c-1 form an adjustable support structure, which can adapt to radiator cores of different thicknesses, ensure that the bottom support slide frame 2 remains horizontal and stable during the correction process, prevent the core from being deformed or shifted under force, and improve the correction quality and adaptability.

[0027] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: First, place the device above the radiator core, inserting the thin sheet structure formed by two pairs of clamping plates 3 into the gaps between the curved fins of the core. Then, install the bottom support slide bracket 2 below the set of clamping plates 3, so that the nesting ears 302 at the lower end of the clamping plates 3 fit onto the upper end face of the nesting rod 201 inside the bottom support slide bracket 2. Push the bottom support plate 102c-1 to support the bottom support slide bracket 2. Activate the side push cylinder 102b to push the two side connecting plates 401 along the slide rail 102a. As the device moves towards the straightening plate 3, the pointed conical surface of the side push plate 4 is embedded into the inclined surface of the straightening plate 3, forcing the two straightening plates 3 that are in contact with each other to overcome the tension of the return spring 301a and slide outward along the inner sleeve rod 101 and the nesting rod 201, thereby opening up and correcting the bent fins; after the correction is completed, the side push cylinder 102b retracts, the side push plate 4 exits, and the straightening plates 3 return to their initial contact state under the action of the return spring 301a, and the device can be removed from the core, completing one correction cycle.
