[0027] The feeding mechanism 2 includes two horizontal slide rails 21, which are respectively located on the inner walls of both sides of the gantry bracket 13. A feeding block 22 is provided between the two horizontal slide rails 21. Both sides of the feeding block 22 are respectively slidably connected with the two horizontal slide rails 21. The feeding block 22 is provided with a silo 23 corresponding to the slot of the intercooler flat tube 4. The silo 23 runs through the feeding block 22 and has a limit device 24 at the bottom to prevent the fin 5 from falling.

[0028] The actuator 3 is used to push the fins 5 in the silo 23 into the slots of the intercooler flat tubes 4. The actuator 3 includes a telescopic drive device 31, which is fixedly connected to the gantry bracket 13 and has a connecting plate 32 fixedly provided at the bottom. A pressure plate 33 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 32 corresponding to each silo 23.

[0029] Furthermore, there are three positioning blocks 12 and they are used to position the intercooler flat tubes 4 from three directions respectively.

[0030] Furthermore, the limiting device 24 includes two limiting blocks 241, the top of the limiting block 241 is provided with an inclined surface, and the two limiting blocks 241 are respectively slidably connected to a slide groove 242 on both sides of the bottom of the silo 23, and a spring 243 is provided in the slide groove 242 for applying an ejection force to the limiting block 241.

[0031] Furthermore, a limit plate 244 is provided on the side close to each other at the bottom of the limit block 241, the loading block 22 is connected to the horizontal slide rail 21 through the connecting block 221, the connecting block 221 is slidably connected to the horizontal slide rail 21, and the side wall of the loading block 22 and the connecting block 221 are cooperated with a second slide groove 222, the second slide groove 222 is vertically arranged and is provided with a second spring 223 for providing downward pressure to the connecting block 221.

[0032] Furthermore, the silo 23 is configured to be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
