Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology of new energy battery pack coolers, and in particular to a clamping device for the manifold partition of a new energy battery pack cooler. Background Technology

[0002] The battery pack cooler is a core component of the electric vehicle thermal management system. Its performance directly affects the battery's operating temperature and lifespan. As a key component in the cooler, the assembly quality of the internal separators in the manifold is crucial. It is essential to ensure that the separators and flow holes are precisely aligned and reliably pressed together. Any slight deviation may lead to internal leakage of coolant or uneven flow distribution, which will seriously affect cooling efficiency and battery safety.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses manual methods for clamping manifold diaphragms, such as using rubber hammers and bakelite for positioning, or semi-automatic clamping fixtures consisting of cylinders and linear guides. The former relies entirely on the operator's experience and has inherent drawbacks such as low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and poor product consistency. While the latter improves clamping accuracy and efficiency, the operator still needs to manually remove the workpiece from the fixture after the clamping process, which hinders the improvement of production efficiency, increases the labor load of operators, and brings potential safety risks due to the frequent contact between personnel and moving parts of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a clamping device for the manifold diaphragm of a new energy battery pack cooler. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of efficiency bottlenecks and manual operation risks in existing technologies, this utility model provides a clamping device for the manifold fins of a new energy battery pack cooler.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A clamping device for the manifold diaphragm of a new energy battery pack cooler, comprising a base plate, a first cylinder, a limiting block, a first slider, a second slide rail, a limiting plate, a positioning element, a clamping actuator, a support plate, a control button, and an automatic unloading structure. The first cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the base plate, and a limiting block is connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder. A positioning groove for placing workpieces is provided on the limiting block. Second slide rails are fixedly installed on the upper left and right sides of the base plate, and first sliders are slidably mounted on each of the second slide rails. The first sliders are all connected to the bottom of the limiting blocks. Limiting plates are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the limiting blocks, and positioning elements are slidably connected to the lower parts of the limiting plates. A clamping actuator is provided on the upper rear side of the base plate. Support plates are fixedly connected to the front left and right sides of the base plate, and control buttons for controlling the start of the first cylinder are provided on each support plate. An automatic unloading structure is provided on the front side of the base plate.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the clamping actuator includes a second cylinder, a cylinder mounting plate, a third slide rail, a second slider, and a clamping block. The cylinder mounting plate is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper rear side of the base plate, and the second cylinder is fixedly installed on each of the cylinder mounting plates. Two third slide rails are fixedly provided on both the left and right sides of the upper rear side of the base plate. The third slide rails are all vertically arranged and installed. The second slider is slidably connected to each of the third slide rails. A clamping block is connected between the two second sliders on the same side. The clamping blocks are all connected to the telescopic ends of the adjacent second cylinders, and the clamping blocks are all located directly above the limit block.

[0008] As a further preferred solution, the automatic unloading structure includes a third cylinder, an inclined push plate, and an inclined plate. The third cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper left and right sides of the base plate. The two third cylinders are located on the left and right sides of the limit block. The inclined push plate is connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder. In the initial state, the overall height of the inclined push plate is lower than the positioning plane of the limit block. Two inclined plates are fixedly connected to the front side of the base plate. The two inclined plates are located in front of the inclined push plate.

[0009] As a further preferred option, a reinforcing plate is also included, with the cylinder mounting plate and the base plate reinforced by a triangular reinforcing plate.

[0010] As a further preferred option, the inclined surface of the inclined plate is set opposite to the inclined surface of the inclined push plate. When the inclined push plate is driven to the highest point by the third cylinder, its top end is smoothly connected to the end of the inclined plate to form a guide feeding channel.

[0011] As a further preferred option, the two control buttons are connected by a synchronously triggered safety circuit, so that a signal can be generated to drive the first cylinder to move only when both are pressed at the same time. Beneficial effects

[0012] 1. This utility model achieves precise positioning and automated clamping of the manifold workpiece through a lateral positioning mechanism composed of a first cylinder, a limiting block, and other components, in conjunction with a vertical clamping actuator. This effectively overcomes the problems of poor positioning accuracy and low product consistency caused by traditional manual hammering positioning, and stably ensures the precise alignment of the partition and the flow hole, significantly improving product quality.

[0013] 2. By setting up an automatic feeding structure, this utility model can automatically lift the workpiece and slide it out along the formed inclined channel after the pressing process is completed, replacing the manual part removal step required in the original semi-automatic tooling, reducing labor intensity, and realizing continuous and efficient production cycle.

[0014] 3. This utility model sets the two control buttons as a safety circuit that requires simultaneous triggering by both hands, forcing the operator to keep their hands away from moving parts when starting the equipment. At the same time, the automatic unloading structure also avoids direct contact between personnel and the tooling, fundamentally solving the potential safety risks caused by manual handling and frequent contact with moving parts, ensuring the safety of operators and complying with modern safety production standards.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Example: A clamping device for the manifold fins of a new energy battery pack cooler, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the device includes a base plate 1, a first cylinder 2, a limiting block 21, a first slider 22, a second slide rail 23, a limiting plate 24, a positioning component 25, a clamping actuator, a support plate 4, a control button 41, and an automatic unloading structure. The first cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the base plate 1 by bolts. The limiting block 21 is connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 2. The limiting block 21 has a positioning groove for placing the workpiece. The second slide rail 23 is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the base plate 1. The first slider 22 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 23. The first slider 22 is connected to the bottom of the limiting block 21. The upper left and right sides of the limiting block 21 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 24, and the lower part of the limiting plate 24 is slidably connected to the positioning element 25. The upper rear side of the base plate 1 is provided with a pressing execution mechanism, and the upper left and right sides of the base plate 1 are fixedly connected to the support plate 4. The support plate 4 is provided with a control button 41 for controlling the start of the first cylinder 2. The two control buttons 41 are connected through a synchronous trigger safety circuit. Only when both are pressed at the same time can a signal be generated to drive the first cylinder 2 to move, ensuring that the operator's hands are away from the danger zone and improving safety. The front side of the base plate 1 is provided with an automatic feeding structure.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping actuator includes a second cylinder 3, a cylinder mounting plate 31, a third slide rail 33, a second slider 34, and a clamping block 35. Cylinder mounting plates 31 are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the rear side of the base plate 1. The second cylinders 3 are fixedly mounted on the cylinder mounting plates 31 by bolts. Two third slide rails 33 are fixedly installed on the upper left and right sides of the rear side of the base plate 1. The third slide rails 33 are vertically arranged and installed. The second sliders 34 are slidably connected to the third slide rails 33. A clamping block 35 is connected between the two second sliders 34 on the same side. The clamping block 35 is made of aluminum 6061 material and is connected to the telescopic end of the adjacent second cylinder 3. The clamping block 35 is located directly above the limiting block 21. The first cylinder 2 is an SDA 63x60 ultra-thin cylinder to meet the requirements of limited installation space, and the second cylinder 3 is an ACQ-40x40 cylinder to provide a stable main clamping force.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the automatic feeding structure includes a third cylinder 5, an inclined push plate 51, and an inclined plate 52. The third cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper part of the base plate 1 by bolts. The two third cylinders 5 are located on the left and right sides of the limiting block 21. The inclined push plate 51 is connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder 5. In the initial state, the overall height of the inclined push plate 51 is lower than the positioning plane of the limiting block 21. Two inclined plates 52 are welded to the front side of the base plate 1. The two inclined plates 52 are located in front of the inclined push plate 51. The inclined surface of the inclined plate 52 is opposite to the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 51. When the inclined push plate 51 is driven by the third cylinder 5 to rise to the highest point, its top end is smoothly connected to the end of the inclined plate 52 to form a guide feeding channel.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a reinforcing plate 32. The cylinder mounting plate 31 and the base plate 1 are reinforced and connected by the triangular reinforcing plate 32, which improves the overall rigidity of the pressing mechanism, prevents vibration deformation, and ensures pressing accuracy.

[0026] In actual use of this device, firstly, the operator places the new energy battery pack cooler manifold workpiece to be pressed steadily into the positioning groove of the limiting block 21. Then, by sliding and adjusting the positioning part 25 at the bottom of the limiting plate 24, the workpiece is precisely positioned. Next, the operator presses the two control buttons 41 set on the support plate 4 with both hands at the same time, and the system will generate a valid start signal. This safety design ensures that the operator's hands are away from the moving parts when the equipment is started, effectively avoiding safety risks.

[0027] After the start signal is generated, the first cylinder 2 immediately actuates, and its telescopic end pushes the limiting block 21 to move smoothly backward along the second slide rail 23. With the precise guidance of the first slider 22, the limiting block 21 drives the workpiece to move backward together until the workpiece is closely pressed against the preset mechanical reference behind, completing the precise lateral positioning. Then, the clamping actuator starts to work. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 3 extends downward and drives the clamping block 35 to slide downward along the vertically arranged third slide rail 33. Under the guidance of the second slider 34, the clamping block 35 applies pressure evenly and vertically to the partition area in the middle of the workpiece, maintaining this clamping state for several seconds to ensure that the partition and the flow hole of the manifold achieve the expected assembly accuracy and tightness.

[0028] After the pressing process is completed, the second cylinder 3 drives the pressing block 35 to automatically reset and rise, making room for unloading. At this time, the automatic unloading structure is activated, and the third cylinder 5 located on the left and right sides of the limiting block 21 works synchronously. Its telescopic end pushes upward, pushing the inclined push plate 51 to move upward. In the initial state, the overall height of the inclined push plate 51 is lower than the positioning plane of the limiting block 21, so it will not interfere with the placement and pressing of the workpiece. When the inclined push plate 51 is lifted to the highest point, its top end smoothly connects with the end of the inclined plate 52 fixed to the front side of the base plate 1, forming a continuous and smooth unloading channel. The lifted workpiece naturally slides forward along this inclined channel under the action of gravity and finally falls into the designated collection area, completing the automatic unloading.

[0029] The entire workflow is interconnected, from safe start-up with both hands, precise positioning, reliable clamping to automatic unloading, realizing full automation of the manifold partition clamping operation. The operator only needs to complete the initial loading and trigger the start command, and all subsequent processes are completed automatically by the device, which greatly improves production efficiency, product consistency and operational safety.
