[0042] As Figure 1 shown, a plurality of through holes 7 are provided on the heat dissipation fan housing 8.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a transportation device for a heat dissipation fan housing, including a driving device 1, a grasping device 2 installed on the driving device 1, a support frame 3 placed on the ground, a workpiece placing table 6 and a mold 5 placed on the support frame 3. The grasping device 2 is located above the workpiece placing table 6, and the heat dissipation fan housing 8 is placed on the workpiece placing table 6. The support frame 3 is rectangular.

[0045] The driving device 1 includes a single-axis robot two 103. The grasping device 2 is installed on the single-axis robot two 103 through a moving seat 104. The single-axis robot two 103 drives the grasping device 2 to move along the length direction of the support frame 3. The single-axis robot two 103 is installed on a single-axis robot one 101 and a linear guide rail 102. The single-axis robot one 101 and the linear guide rail 102 are parallel to each other and are both perpendicular to the single-axis robot two 103. Thus, the single-axis robot one 101 drives the grasping device 2 to move along the height direction of the support frame 3.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 for key reference. The grasping device 2 includes a mounting plate 201 installed on the driving device 1, a limiting plate 204 installed at one end of the mounting plate 201 through a plurality of first guiding shafts 210. The first guiding shafts 210 all pass through a first flange 209. A left moving plate 203 is installed on the first flange 209. The left moving plate 203 is located between the limiting plate 204 and the mounting plate 201. The left moving plate 203 is connected to the mounting plate 201 through a cylinder 202. A plurality of first suction cups 205 are installed on the left moving plate 203. Circular holes are provided at the positions of the limiting plate 204 corresponding to the first suction cups 205. When the cylinder 202 is started, the first suction cups 205 pass through the circular holes to suck the heat dissipation fan housing 8. At the same time, a positioning post 206 is installed on the limiting plate 204, and the positioning post 206 corresponds to the positions of the through holes 7 on the heat dissipation fan housing 8. A right moving plate 207 is installed at the other end of the mounting plate 201. A plurality of second suction cups 208 are installed on the right moving plate 207. The linear distance between the middle axes of the left moving plate 203 and the right moving plate 207 is equal to the distance between the middle axes of the workpiece placing table 6 and the mold 5.

[0047] First, the uniaxial robot two 103 drives the grasping device 2 to reach directly above the workpiece placement table 6. Then, the uniaxial robot one 101 drives the grasping device 2 to move downward. When the positioning post 206 positions to the position of the through hole 7, the air cylinder 202 is activated. The air cylinder 202 drives the left moving plate 203 to move downward, and the suction cup one 205 passes through the circular hole to suck the heat sink fan housing 8.

[0048] The function of the limit plate 204 is to be able to limit the moving distance of the left moving plate 203 and ensure that the suction cup one 205 is within the circular hole when the suction cup one 205 is in a non-operating state, protecting the suction cup one 205 from dust contamination or being touched by non-staff.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , the workpiece placement table 6 includes a bottom plate 601 installed on the support frame 3, several flanges two 606 installed on the bottom plate 601, and the flanges two 606 pass through the support frame 3. The guide shaft two 605 passes through the flanges two 606, and the placement table 602 is installed on the guide shaft two 605. The spring one 604 is sleeved outside the guide shaft two 605, and the spring one 604 is used to connect the placement table 602 and the flanges two 606. Several grooves 603 are provided on the placement table 602, and the heat sink fan housing 8 is placed in the grooves 603.

[0050] The function of the spring one 604 is that when the positioning post 206 positions the through hole 7 and the suction cup one 205 sucks the heat sink fan housing 8, the reaction force of the spring one 604 offsets the pressure of the above components, thus avoiding damage to the heat sink fan housing 8.

[0051] The uniaxial robot two 103, the uniaxial robot one 101, and the air cylinder 202 are communicatively coupled to the total controller.

[0052] The controller is a programmable numerical control system. As the central control system, the controller can realize the program input and operation control of the whole machine, and realize the automation of the operation process. The control system can be used as a system that connects each actuator to move according to the logical trajectory, and controls the actuator to run according to the required operation steps through programming.

[0053] In the transportation device of the first embodiment, the left moving plate 203 in the transportation device positions and transports the heat sink fan housing 8 to the mold 5 for stamping. Then, the right moving plate 207 transports the stamped heat sink fan housing 8 to the next transportation process, and the next transportation process transfers the heat sink fan housing 8 to the assembly process.

[0054] Embodiment Two

[0055] As Figure 1As shown, in addition to the device disclosed in the first embodiment, the transportation device disclosed in the second embodiment further includes a transportation cart 4 located outside the support frame 3 on the side close to the mold 5, and the distance between the transportation cart 4 and the central axis of the mold 5 is equal to the distance between the workpiece placement table 6 and the central axis of the mold 5. The other devices and their installation positions in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0056] Therefore, after the left moving plate 203 positions and transports the heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the mold 5 for stamping, the right moving plate 207 transports the stamped heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the transportation cart 4. At the same time, the left moving plate 203 positions and transports the next heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the mold 5 for stamping, so that the stamped heat dissipation fan housings 8 can be continuously and efficiently concentrated on the transportation cart 4, improving the transportation efficiency of the heat dissipation fan housing 8.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 5 - 7 , the transportation cart 4 includes a base 404, a lifting mechanism 408 installed at the middle position of the base 404, shock-absorbing wheel assemblies 410 symmetrically installed on both sides of the base 404. Square holes are provided at the positions of the base 404 corresponding to the shock-absorbing wheel assemblies 410, so as to facilitate the shock-absorbing wheel assemblies 410 to pass through the base 404 to drive the transportation cart 4 to move; a number of auxiliary wheels 411 are also symmetrically installed on the base 404 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the transportation cart 4, a controller 407 installed on the base 404, a battery 405 installed on the base 404 through a battery mounting seat, a lidar 409 installed on the base 404, the lidar 409 is used to identify the two-dimensional code landmark on the ground, and a housing 401 covering the outside of the base 404. A through hole is provided at the position of the housing 401 corresponding to the battery 405 to facilitate the staff to replace the battery 405. A lid 402 is hinged to the housing 401 through a hinge 403 to prevent dust from entering the housing 401. A handle is provided on the lid 402, and fans 406 are installed on both sides of the housing 401 to dissipate heat for the transmission parts inside the housing.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 、 6As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lifting mechanism 408 includes a mounting base 4081 mounted on the base 404, a fixed base 4082 mounted on the mounting base 4081, a first gear 4083 sleeved outside the fixed base 4082, a rotating base 4084 mounted on the first gear 4083, a lifting base 4085 threadedly connected to the rotating base 4084, a second gear 4086 mounted on the lifting base 4085, a placing table 40811 mounted on the second gear 4086. The first main gear 4087 meshes with the first gear 4083 for transmission, and the first main gear 4087 is mounted on the first motor 4088. The first motor 4088 is mounted on the mounting base 4081 through a motor mounting base. The second main gear 40810 meshes with the second gear 4086 for transmission, and the second main gear 40810 is mounted on the second motor 4089. The second motor 4089 is mounted on the mounting base 4081 through a motor mounting base.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 9 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the shock-absorbing wheel assembly 410 includes a wheel fixing base 4102 mounted on the base 404, a third flange 4108 symmetrically mounted on the wheel fixing base 4102, a third guide shaft 4104 passing through the third flange 4108. One end of the third guide shaft 4104 is mounted with a limit pad 4106, and the other end of the third guide shaft 4104 is mounted with a moving block 4107. A second spring 4105 is connected between the moving block 4107 and the third flange 4108. A wheel 4103 mounted on the third motor 4101. The third motor 4101 is mounted on the moving block 4107 through a motor base.

[0060] Therefore, when the transport trolley 4 moves to an uneven ground, the vibration of the wheel 4103 will be offset by the reaction force of the second spring 4105, thereby ensuring the stability of the transport trolley 4 itself.

[0061] The transport trolley 4 absorbs the vibration caused by the uneven road surface through the second spring 4105 and maintains a certain positive pressure on the ground to maintain the driving force of the wheel 4103.

[0062] The auxiliary wheel 411 is a caster wheel. At the same time, two-dimensional code landmarks are provided on the ground in the factory for positioning and path planning. The outer contour of the transport trolley 4 is smooth and clean, so as to prevent collision with other objects during movement.

[0063] At the same time, the design of the number of the auxiliary wheels 411 should consider the weight that the transport trolley 4 needs to carry during operation, and the following formula needs to be satisfied:

[0064] GM≥E+Z

[0065] Wherein, G is the weight borne by each wheel, E is the self-weight of the transport trolley 4, and Z is the weight that the transport trolley 4 needs to carry.

[0066] Meanwhile, motor one 4088, motor two 4089, motor three 4101, lidar 409, fan 406, and battery 405 are communicatively coupled to controller 407.

[0067] Based on the above device, Embodiment 2 of the present invention further proposes an operation method for a transportation device using the heat dissipation fan housing described above, including the following steps:

[0068] Step 1: First, the single-axis robot two 103 drives the grasping device 2 to reach directly above the workpiece placement table 6, and then the single-axis robot one 101 drives the grasping device 2 to move downward. When the positioning post 206 locates the position of the through hole 7, the air cylinder 202 is activated. The air cylinder 202 drives the left moving plate 203 to move downward, and the suction cup one 205 passes through the circular hole to suck the heat dissipation fan housing 8. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the single-axis robot two 103 and the single-axis robot one 101, the heat dissipation fan housing 8 is sent to the mold 5.

[0069] Step 2: After the left moving plate 203 positions and transports the heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the mold 5 for stamping, the right moving plate 207 transports the stamped heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the transport cart 4. At the same time, the left moving plate 203 positions and transports the next heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the mold 5 for stamping.

[0070] Step 3: Repeat the above Step 1 and Step 2. When the heat dissipation fan housings 8 on the transport cart 4 accumulate to a certain number, activate the transport cart 4, and then stop Step 1 and Step 2 or replace the initial position of the transport cart 4 with another cart.

[0071] Step 4: The controller 407 controls the activation of motor three 4101, lidar 409, and fan 406. The lidar 409 identifies the QR code landmark on the ground, thereby transporting the heat dissipation fan housing 8 to the assembly process.

[0072] Step 5: Activate motor one 4088 and motor two 4089, thereby raising the storage platform 40811 to facilitate the staff to take away the heat dissipation fan housings 8 in the storage platform 40811.

[0073] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
