Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an operating tool for trimming fins. Background Technology

[0002] When air conditioning equipment is in operation, it relies on the condenser and evaporator components inside the unit to dissipate heat and achieve cooling or heating effects. The fins within these components must be intact and aligned, without any bent or folded fins, to avoid affecting the airflow. If the fins of the condenser and evaporator are bent or folded, it will impair the airflow and consequently affect the performance of the air conditioning system.

[0003] In the production and assembly of air conditioning equipment, due to the special internal structure of the equipment, the condenser and evaporator components may experience fin tilting during transportation and assembly. Sometimes, the location of the tilted fins is quite concealed, making it difficult for workers to detect during assembly. When the tilted fins are discovered in subsequent production processes, the external components of the air conditioning equipment have already been assembled, making it difficult to handle the tilted fins internally. Often, the entire air conditioning unit needs to be removed from the production line, the external components disassembled, and the tilted fins addressed. After this process, the air conditioning unit needs to be disassembled and reassembled, resulting in significant quality risks such as missing parts and assembly defects, and also significantly impacting the production output of the air conditioning equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an operating tool for fin trimming, which can be used to deal with the problem of fins turning over and trim the turned-over fins. It is especially suitable for scenarios where fins are turned over during the assembly of air conditioning equipment. It can be used directly to deal with the turned-over fins without removing the assembled air conditioning equipment from the production line or dismantling all parts. It can effectively avoid secondary assembly of air conditioning equipment, better ensure the assembly quality of air conditioning equipment, and increase the output of air conditioning equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an operating tool for fin trimming, comprising:

[0006] An operating base has a main body and two end bodies. One end body is reduced in size compared to the main body to form a fin-removing portion. The fin-removing portion is adapted to extend into the gap between fins with inverted fins.

[0007] A fin trimming comb is disposed on the end of another substrate, and the fin trimming comb has a plurality of fin trimming teeth.

[0008] In the implementation of the above technical solution, one end of the operating substrate is reduced in size compared to the main body, forming a fin-removing section. This fin-removing section can extend into the gaps between fins with inverted blades to remove and trim the inverted blades, making it particularly suitable for fins with severe inverted blades. The multiple fin trimming teeth of the fin trimming comb can also extend into the gaps between fins with inverted blades to comb and trim the inverted blades, making it particularly suitable for fins with less severe inverted blades. In use, the fin-removing section and the fin trimming comb can be used individually or in combination. This is for fins... The fin trimming tool can be used to address the issue of fins turning over and to trim the turned-over fins. It can be used to trim the turned-over fins in unassembled condenser or evaporator components. Due to its simple and compact structure, this fin trimming tool is particularly suitable for scenarios where turned-over fins are found during the assembly of air conditioning equipment. In such cases, it can be used directly to trim the turned-over fins without removing the assembled air conditioning equipment from the production line or disassembling all parts. This effectively avoids secondary assembly of the air conditioning equipment, better ensuring the assembly quality and output of the air conditioning equipment.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the operating substrate is a strip-shaped substrate.

[0010] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the elongated shape of the operating substrate allows the size of the operating tool used for fin trimming to become smaller, making it more suitable for scenarios where fins are found to be bent during the assembly of air conditioning equipment and the bent fins need to be processed.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the operating base is an operating lever.

[0012] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the operating base adopts an operating rod. The operating rod is small in size and easy for workers to grip, making it easier for workers to use.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the fin-removing portion is flat, the end face of the fin-removing portion is in the shape of a straight line, and the end face of the fin-removing portion is adapted to extend into the gap between fins with inverted blades.

[0014] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the fin separation part is flat and the end face of the fin separation part is straight. This ensures that the end face of the fin separation part can extend into the gap between the fins with inverted fins. At the same time, it can reduce the sharpness of the fin separation part and reduce its damage ability, thus greatly reducing the chance of injury to the staff during use.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this application, one end of the base forming the fin separation portion gradually slopes from its opposite two sides toward its center to form two transition slopes and the fin separation portion, the fin separation portion being in contact with the two transition slopes.

[0016] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the structure of two transition slopes leading to the fin separation part allows the fin separation part to be located in the middle of the operating base, giving the fin separation part higher structural strength and making it less prone to deformation or breakage.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the fin-removing portion is needle-shaped, and the needle tip of the fin-removing portion is adapted to extend into the gap between fins with inverted blades.

[0018] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the end of the needle-shaped fin separation part is a needle tip, which is a dot-shaped structure, making it extremely easy to insert into the gap between fins with inverted blades, and making it easier for workers to use.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the fin trimming comb is rotatably disposed on another end of the substrate.

[0020] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the fin trimming comb is rotatably mounted on the end of another substrate. During use, the angle of the fin trimming comb can be adjusted according to the position of the fins to be processed, thereby enabling the fin trimming tool to comb and trim fins at different positions, improving the practicality and applicability of the fin trimming tool.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a plurality of fin trimming teeth are arranged in parallel, and the width of each fin trimming tooth remains constant along the length direction of the fin trimming tooth.

[0022] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the tooth shape limitation of multiple fin trimming teeth can achieve better combing and trimming effect when the fin trimming comb combs comb and trim the fins.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this application, both the other end of the operating base and the first end of the operating base are reduced in size compared to the main body of the base, and the other end of the operating base and the first end of the operating base are consistent with each other.

[0024] In the implementation of the above technical solution, the structure of the other end of the operating base is consistent with that of the first end of the base. When manufacturing the operating tool for fin trimming, the fin trimming comb can be installed on either end of the base without distinguishing between the two ends of the base, which facilitates the production of the operating tool for fin trimming.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the fin trimming comb includes a comb handle and a plurality of fin trimming teeth. The comb handle is disposed on the end of another substrate, and the plurality of fin trimming teeth are disposed on the comb handle.

[0026] In the process of implementing the above technical solution, the structure of the fin trimming comb can facilitate the installation of the fin trimming comb on the other end of the operating base, and can also ensure the structural strength of the fin trimming comb.

[0027] This application discloses an operating tool for fin trimming, which, compared with the prior art, has at least the following advantages:

[0028] The fin trimming tool of this application has a base end that is reduced in size compared to the main body, forming a fin-removing section. This fin-removing section can extend into the gaps between fins with bent fins to remove and trim the bent fins, making it particularly suitable for fins with severe bent fins. Multiple fin trimming teeth of the fin trimming comb can also extend into the gaps between fins with bent fins to comb and trim the bent fins, making it particularly suitable for fins with less severe bent fins. This fin trimming tool can be used to trim bent fins in unassembled condenser or evaporator components. Because of its simple and compact structure, this tool is particularly suitable for scenarios where bent fins are found during the assembly of air conditioning equipment. In such cases, it can be used directly to treat bent fins without removing the assembled air conditioning equipment from the production line or disassembling all components, effectively avoiding secondary assembly of the air conditioning equipment and ensuring better assembly quality and production volume.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0038] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In the production and assembly of air conditioning equipment, condenser and evaporator components may experience fin tilting during transport and assembly. Sometimes, the tilted fins are located in concealed positions, making them difficult for workers to detect during assembly. When this tilting is discovered in subsequent production processes, the external components of the air conditioning unit have already been assembled, making it difficult to address the internal fin tilting. Often, the entire air conditioning unit needs to be removed from the production line, the external components disassembled, and the tilted fins fixed. After this initial fix, the air conditioning unit requires further disassembly and reassembly, resulting in significant quality risks such as missing components and assembly defects, and also significantly impacting the production output of the air conditioning equipment.

[0042] To address the problems in the prior art, this application provides an operational tool for fin trimming, which can be used to handle the problem of fins turning over and trim the turned-over fins. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where fins are turned over during the assembly of air conditioning equipment. It can be used directly to handle the turned-over fins without removing the assembled air conditioning equipment from the production line or dismantling all parts. This can effectively avoid secondary assembly of the air conditioning equipment, better ensure the assembly quality of the air conditioning equipment, and improve the output of the air conditioning equipment.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] See Figures 1 to 5 The operating tool for fin trimming in this application embodiment includes:

[0045] The operating base 11 has a base body 111 and two base ends 112. One base end 112 is smaller than the base body 111 and forms a fin separation part 1121. The fin separation part 1121 is adapted to extend into the gap between fins with inverted fins.

[0046] A fin trimming comb 12 is disposed on the end 112 of another substrate, and the fin trimming comb 12 has a plurality of fin trimming teeth 121.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fin trimming tool is mainly used to trim the bent fins so that they are restored to a normal, straight, and aligned state. Specifically, the fin trimming tool can be used to trim the bent fins in the condenser component or evaporator component. The condenser component or evaporator component can be a component of an air conditioning device or a component of other devices. In this embodiment, an air conditioning device is used as an example for explanation and illustration.

[0048] In this embodiment, the operating base 11 can be a long strip or a plate, which can be gripped by the operator when using the tool for fin trimming; the two base ends 112 of the operating base 11 are the two end portions of the operating base 11, and the base body 111 of the operating base 11 is the portion of the operating base 11 other than the two ends; in this embodiment, the base body 111 and the two base ends 112 of the operating base 11 are integrated;

[0049] The reduction in size of the base end 112 of the operating base 11 compared to the base body 111 refers to a reduction in dimensions, such as a reduction in thickness, or a reduction in both thickness and width. The fin-removing portion 1121 formed by the reduction in size of the base end 112 of the operating base 11 can be designed according to the gap between fins with folded edges, especially according to the gap between fins with severe folding. Understandably, the gap between fins with severe folding is smaller than the gap between fins with less severe folding. This ensures that the operating tool for fin trimming is applicable to any gap between folded fins. In use, the folded fins can be removed and separated by moving the fin-removing portion 1121.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, one base end 112 and the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 always refer to the base end 112 at a specific position on the operating base 11. In the description of other paragraphs, the position of the base end 112 corresponding to one base end 112 and the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 remains unchanged.

[0051] In this embodiment, the fin trimming teeth 121 of the fin trimming comb 12 can extend into the gap between fins with inverted fins, especially for fins with minor inverted fins, making it easier for the fin trimming teeth 121 to extend in; in use, the inverted fins can be combed by moving the fin trimming comb 12, so that the inverted fins are separated.

[0052] The fin trimming tool of this application embodiment has a base end 112 of the operating base 11 that is smaller than the main body 111, forming a fin separating part 1121. The fin separating part 1121 can extend into the gap between fins with bent fins to separate and trim the bent fins, which is especially suitable for fins with severe bent fins. The multiple fin trimming teeth 121 of the fin trimming comb 12 can also extend into the gap between fins with bent fins to comb and trim the bent fins, which is especially suitable for fins with less severe bent fins. In use, the fin separating part 1121 and the fin trimming comb 12 can be used alone or in combination. This fin trimming tool can be used to address the issue of fins turning inward and to trim the inverted fins. It can be used to trim inverted fins in unassembled condenser or evaporator components. Due to its simple and compact structure, this fin trimming tool is particularly suitable for scenarios where inverted fins are found during the assembly of air conditioning equipment. In such cases, it can be used directly to trim the inverted fins without removing the assembled air conditioning equipment from the production line or dismantling all components. Alternatively, it may only require the removal of some or all components as needed. This effectively avoids secondary assembly of the air conditioning equipment, better ensuring the assembly quality and output of the air conditioning equipment.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] See Figures 1 to 5 Based on the above embodiment one, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the operating tool for fin trimming in this embodiment has an operating base 11 that is long and strip-shaped.

[0055] The operating base 11 is a long strip-shaped base, which can greatly reduce the size of the operating base 11 in the width and thickness directions. Therefore, the size of the operating tool used for fin trimming can be made smaller, which is more suitable for scenarios where fins are found to be bent during the assembly of air conditioning equipment and the bent fins need to be processed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the operating base 11 is an operating rod. In this embodiment, the operating rod can be made of metal material. For example, the operating rod can be made of copper tube, which can make the operating rod have high structural strength and not easily deformed or damaged. The interior of the operating rod can be set as a hollow structure, which can save manufacturing materials.

[0057] In the above structure, the operating base 11 adopts an operating rod. The operating rod is small in size and easy for the staff to grip, making it easier for the staff to use.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] See Figures 1 to 5 Based on the above embodiment two, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment two is that the operating tool for fin trimming in this embodiment has a flat fin-removing part 1121, the end face of the fin-removing part 1121 is in the shape of a straight line, and the end face of the fin-removing part 1121 is suitable for extending into the gap between fins with inverted fins.

[0060] In this embodiment, the structure and shape of the fin-removing part 1121 are similar to the end of a flathead screwdriver.

[0061] In the above structure, the fin separating part 1121 is flat and the end face of the fin separating part 1121 is in the shape of a straight line. The straight end face can ensure that the thickness of the end face of the fin separating part 1121 is small enough, so that the end face of the fin separating part 1121 can extend into the gap between fins with bent fins, especially the gap between fins with more severe bent fins. At the same time, it can reduce the sharpness of the fin separating part 1121, reduce the damage ability of the fin separating part 1121, and greatly reduce the probability of injury to the operator during use.

[0062] In this embodiment, a base end 112 forming the fin separation portion 1121 gradually slopes from its opposite two sides toward its center to form two transition slopes 1122 and the fin separation portion 1121, and the fin separation portion 1121 is connected to the two transition slopes 1122.

[0063] In the above structure, the structure of two transition slopes 1122 and then to the fin separation part 1121 can make the fin separation part 1121 located in the middle of the operating base 11. The central setting of the fin separation part 1121 can make the fin separation part 1121 have higher structural strength and less prone to deformation or breakage.

[0064] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the fin separation portion 1121 can also be configured in other shapes. For example, the fin separation portion 1121 can be configured in the shape of a needle tip, and the needle tip of the fin separation portion 1121 is suitable for extending into the gap between fins with inverted fins.

[0065] The tip of the needle-shaped fin separating part 1121 is a needle tip with a dot-like structure. The tip of the needle-shaped fin separating part 1121 is very easy to insert into the gap between fins with bent fins, making it easier for workers to use. It is also particularly suitable for repairing fins with more severe bent fins.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] See Figures 1 to 5Based on any of the above embodiments one to three, the difference between this embodiment and any of the above embodiments one to three is that the fin trimming comb 12 used for fin trimming in this embodiment is rotatably disposed on the end 112 of another base.

[0068] In this embodiment, for example, the fin trimming comb 12 can be made of plastic. It is a rigid fin trimming comb 12. The plastic material is low in cost, lightweight, and less likely to scratch the fins when combing the fins, thus avoiding secondary damage to the fins.

[0069] In the above structure, the fin trimming comb 12 is rotatably mounted on the end 112 of another base. In use, the angle of the fin trimming comb 12 can be adjusted according to the position of the fins to be trimmed, so that the tool for trimming fins can comb and trim fins at different positions, thereby improving the practicality and applicability of the tool for trimming fins.

[0070] In this embodiment, specifically, the fin trimming comb 12 includes a comb handle 122 and a plurality of fin trimming teeth 121. The comb handle 122 is rotatably disposed on the end 112 of another base, and the plurality of fin trimming teeth 121 are disposed on the comb handle 122.

[0071] Furthermore, multiple fin trimming teeth 121 are arranged in parallel, and the width of each fin trimming tooth 121 remains unchanged along its length direction.

[0072] In the above structure, the tooth shape of the multiple fin trimming teeth 121 is defined so that when the fin trimming comb 12 combs and trims the fins, the spacing between the fins being combed does not change, thereby achieving a better combing and trimming effect.

[0073] Example 5

[0074] See Figures 1 to 5 Based on any of the above embodiments one to four, the difference between this embodiment and any of the above embodiments one to four is that, in this embodiment, the operating tool for fin trimming, the other base end 112 and the first base end 112 of the operating base 11 are both reduced in size compared to the base body 111, and the other base end 112 and the first base end 112 of the operating base 11 are consistent.

[0075] In this embodiment, the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 is consistent with the first base end 112. This can be understood as the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 having the same structure and shape as the first base end 112, that is, the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 is exactly the same as the first base end 112.

[0076] In the above structure, the structure of the other base end 112 of the operating base 11 is consistent with that of the first base end 112. When manufacturing the operating tool for fin trimming, the fin trimming comb 12 can be installed on either base end 112 without distinguishing between the two base ends 112, which facilitates the production of the operating tool for fin trimming.

[0077] In all the above embodiments, "large" and "small" are relative terms, "more" and "less" are relative terms, and "upper" and "lower" are relative terms. The embodiments of this application will not elaborate further on the expression of such relative terms.

[0078] It should be understood that phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in this embodiment," "in this application embodiment," or "as an optional implementation" throughout the specification mean that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of this application. Therefore, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in this embodiment," "in this application embodiment," or "as an optional implementation" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to this application.

[0079] In the various embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the sequence number of each process does not necessarily imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
