Description

[0002] At present, liquid cooling plates are widely used in various high-density heat dissipation fields, and their structures are diverse. The main structural form is a combination of an aluminum plate nested in a copper runner plate, in which the copper runner plate is mainly composed of a copper runner plate and a copper pipe. The processing of the aluminum plate and the copper runner plate in the liquid cooling plate is mainly formed by machining technology, with high dimensional accuracy, while the copper pipe is mainly bent by a pipe bending machine, and its dimensional accuracy is much lower than the processing accuracy of the aluminum plate and the copper runner plate. In the assembly process of the liquid cooling plate, since the dimensional accuracy of the copper pipe is lower than that of the copper runner plate and the aluminum plate, the installation and positioning of the copper pipe is a key link affecting the production efficiency of batch products. The conventional installation process is mainly achieved by manual installation by workers, and the installation accuracy is not high.
