[0038] The embodiment of the invention discloses a heat sink assembly device. Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the heat sink assembly is shown below. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the heat sink and the pipe before assembly. The heat sink assembly equipment is used to assemble a plurality of pipes 220 on the heat sink 210. The pipes 220 are, for example, copper pipes. The heat sink 210 is provided with a plurality of assembly ports 211, each of which is surrounded by a flange structure 211a.

[0039] Figure 3It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an embodiment of a heat sink assembly device of the present invention. The heat sink assembly device 100 includes a base 110, a feeding and conveying assembly 120, a manipulator assembly 130, a pipe supply assembly 140 and a shrinking installation assembly 150. The feeding and conveying assembly 120 is arranged on the base 110, and the feeding and conveying assembly 120 is used to provide and convey the heat sink 210. The manipulator assembly 130 is used to clamp the heat sink 210 and drive the heat sink 210 to move. The pipe supply assembly 140 is arranged on the base 110. The shrinking installation assembly 150 is arranged on the base 110. The pipe supply assembly 140 is used to provide the pipe 220 to the shrinking installation assembly 150. When the manipulator assembly 130 drives the heat sink 210 to move to make the pipe 220 extend into the assembly port 211, the shrinking installation assembly 150 presses the flange structure 211a inwardly, so that the pipe 220 is connected to the heat sink 210.

[0040] According to the heat sink assembly device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, it includes a feeding and conveying assembly 120, a manipulator assembly 130, a pipe supply assembly 140 and a shrinking installation assembly 150. The feeding and conveying assembly 120 provides and conveys the heat sink 210, and the pipe supply assembly 140 provides the pipe 220 to the shrinking installation assembly 150. When the manipulator assembly 130 drives the heat sink 210 to move to a state where the pipe 220 extends into the assembly port 211, the shrinking installation assembly 150 presses the flange structure 211a inwardly, so that the pipe 220 is connected to the heat sink 210, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the pipe 220 and the heat sink 210. The above-mentioned heat sink assembly device 100 can replace manual labor to realize heat sink assembly, thereby saving labor costs and improving assembly efficiency.

[0041] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of a shrinkage installation assembly in an embodiment of a heat sink assembly device of the present invention. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The partially enlarged schematic diagram of the area A in the middle. In some embodiments, the shrinking installation assembly 150 includes a shrinking tube 151 , a shrinking sleeve 152 , and a pushing assembly 153 .

[0042] The pipe fitting 220 is located in the shrinking pipe 151. When the pipe fitting 220 is inserted into the assembly opening 211, a conical structure 151a is provided at the end of the shrinking pipe 151 facing the heat sink 210. The wall thickness of the conical structure 151a gradually increases in the direction close to the heat sink 210, and the conical structure 151a is divided into multiple petals in the circumferential direction with the central axis of the shrinking pipe 151 as the center;

[0043] The shrinking sleeve 152 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the shrinking tube 151, and the shrinking sleeve 152 can slide axially relative to the shrinking tube 151. The pushing component 153 is connected to the shrinking sleeve 152. The pushing component 153 can push the shrinking sleeve 152 to slide relative to the shrinking tube 151 in a direction close to the heat dissipation plate 210, so that the shrinking sleeve 152 gradually covers the conical structure 151a, so that the conical structure 151a shrinks toward the central axis of the shrinking tube 151, so as to press the flange structure 211a inward.

[0044] The pushing component 153 pushes the shrinking sleeve 152 to slide relative to the shrinking tube 151 toward the heat sink 210, so that the shrinking sleeve 152 gradually covers the conical structure 151a and makes the conical structure 151a shrink toward the central axis of the shrinking tube 151, thereby pressing the flange structure 211a and the outer wall of the pipe fitting 220 to connect them, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the pipe fitting 220 and the heat sink 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, the conical surface structure 151a is an elastic structure, and when the shrinking sleeve 152 slides relative to the shrinking tube 151 in a direction away from the heat sink 210, the shrinking sleeve 152 gradually exposes the conical surface structure 151a so that the conical surface structure 151a is reset. Since the conical surface structure 151a is an elastic structure, it can be reset after each pipe 220 is installed, thereby facilitating the installation of the next pipe 220.

[0046] In some embodiments, the shrinking installation assembly 150 further includes a support seat 154, which is installed on the base 110, and the shrinking tube 151 is fixedly connected to the support seat 154. In some embodiments, the pushing assembly 153 includes a push block 1531 and a telescopic driving member 1532, the telescopic driving member 1532 is installed on the support seat 154, and the telescopic driving member 1532 is connected to the shrinking sleeve 152 through the push block 1531.

[0047] In some embodiments, the heat sink assembly device 100 further includes a heat sink positioning camera 161, which is disposed on the base 110 and is used to take a picture of the heat sink 210 and locate the assembly port 211. The heat sink positioning camera 161 is, for example, a charge coupled device (CCD) camera.

[0048] like Figure 2 In some embodiments, the end of the tube 220 used to connect to the heat sink 210 is provided with a notch 221 along the circumferential direction. In some embodiments, the heat sink assembly device 100 further includes a tube positioning camera 162 connected to the base 110, and the tube positioning camera 162 is used to take a picture of the end of the tube 220 and locate the direction of the notch 221. The tube positioning camera 162 is, for example, a CCD camera.

[0049] In some embodiments, the robot assembly 130 can drive the heat sink 210 to rotate in the plane where the heat sink 210 is located. The robot assembly 130 is configured to drive the heat sink 210 to rotate according to the positioning information of the heat sink positioning camera 161 and the pipe positioning camera 162, so that the notch 221 of the pipe 220 faces the center of the heat sink 210.

[0050] In some embodiments, the heat sink assembly device 100 further includes a lifting component 170 , which is disposed on the base 110 , and the pipe positioning camera 162 is disposed on the lifting component 170 , and the lifting component 170 is used to drive the pipe positioning camera 162 to move up and down.

[0051] When photographing and positioning the pipe 220, the lifting assembly 170 drives the pipe positioning camera 162 to rise. When the shrinking installation assembly 150 assembles the pipe 220 and the heat sink 210, the lifting assembly 170 drives the pipe positioning camera 162 to descend, thereby preventing the pipe positioning camera 162 from interfering with the assembly of the heat sink.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are more than two pipe supply components 140, shrinking installation components 150, and pipe positioning cameras 162. In this embodiment, there are two pipe supply components 140, shrinking installation components 150, and pipe positioning cameras 162, so that the heat sink assembly equipment 100 is a double-station pipe 220 assembly structure. During the assembly process of the heat sink, the pipe supply components 140, shrinking installation components 150, and pipe positioning cameras 162 of the two stations work alternately to achieve rapid assembly of multiple pipes 220 on the heat sink 210.

[0053] In some embodiments, the pipe supply assembly 140 includes a silo 141 and a pipe pushing mechanism 142, the silo 141 is used to store a plurality of pipes 220, and the pipe pushing mechanism 142 is used to push the pipes 220 in the silo 141 one by one to the necking installation assembly 150. The pipe pushing mechanism 142 can be a mechanism known in the art that can push the pipes 220 in the silo 141 to a preset position. The loading conveying assembly 120 can be a material conveying mechanism known in the art, for example, a material conveying mechanism that uses a track for physical transmission.

[0054] In some embodiments, the heat sink assembly device 100 further includes a material unloading adapter assembly 180 and a material unloading conveying assembly 190, and the material unloading adapter assembly 180 and the material unloading conveying assembly 190 are disposed on the base 110.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
