TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment production, and particularly relates to a cooler core chip separating device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, in order to make the process of driving a car more comfortable, a corresponding vehicle cooling system will be equipped in the car. Among them, the cooler core body is an important part of the cooling system. The cooler core body includes fins and chips. A plurality of chips and fins are stacked alternately. That is, a fin is assembled between two chips. The chip is usually stamped from a metal material, and the thickness of the chip is relatively thin and the weight of the chip is relatively light. In order to facilitate transportation, a plurality of chips are usually stacked together for packaging and transportation.

[0003] In the actual production process, in order to improve the production efficiency, a manipulator provided with a suction cup is usually used to complete the stacking process. That is, the manipulator sucks a chip and places it on a workbench. Then, a fin is sucked and placed on the chip. Then, a chip is sucked and stacked on the fin. By repeating the process, the cooler core body can be produced. However, in actual operation, the thickness of the chip is relatively thin, and the chips in the stack are relatively tightly stacked after being transported and jolted. When the manipulator sucks a chip from the stack of chips, it is easy to suck two chips at a time or cause the lower chip to deviate uncontrollably when sucking the upper chip due to external factors such as air pressure and friction between the two adjacent chips. This will affect the subsequent work of the manipulator and the production quality of the cooler core body. Therefore, a worker needs to separate the stack of chips in advance to facilitate the suction of the manipulator. Although this effectively avoids quality problems, it requires additional manpower and the efficiency of manual operation is relatively low. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the technical problems of the prior art, the present application provides a cooler chip separating device.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The application discloses a cooler chip partition device which comprises a grabbing structure and a shell, a cavity is arranged in the shell for accommodating the grabbing structure, the grabbing structure comprises a power structure, a limiting structure and a partition structure, the limiting structure comprises a limiting rod and a transmission rod, one end of the limiting rod is swingably connected with the transmission rod, the partition structure comprises a connecting rod and a partition rod, one end of the connecting rod is swingably connected with the limiting rod, the other end of the connecting rod is swingably connected with the shell, the partition rod is in an L shape, one end of the partition rod is swingably connected with the connecting rod, and the other end of the partition rod is slidably connected with the limiting rod, the power structure is in transmission connection with the transmission rod, so as to drive the transmission rod to slide along the vertical direction relative to the shell, when the transmission rod slides along the vertical direction, the limiting rod and the partition rod can be inserted into the gap between two adjacent chips and abut against the two chips respectively, and the distance between the limiting rod and the end of the partition rod gradually increases when the transmission rod slides along the vertical direction.

[0007] In actual application, the device can be assembled with a mechanical arm or a translation slide rail and the like through the shell. Taking the mechanical arm as an example, when it is required to separate the chips stacked together piece by piece, the device is driven by the mechanical arm to move to a position corresponding to the chips, so that the grabbing structure corresponds to the through hole previously arranged on the chip. At this time, the power structure is started, and the transmission rod is driven by the power structure to move downward along the vertical direction relative to the shell, so as to drive the limiting rod to move synchronously. Since one end of the limiting rod is swingably connected with the transmission rod, and the limiting rod is connected with the connecting rod, the limiting rod swings relative to the transmission rod under the action of the connecting rod. In the process of swinging of the limiting rod, the connecting rod drives the partition rod to slide synchronously relative to the limiting rod. On the other hand, in the process of swinging of the limiting rod, the limiting rod together with the partition rod is inserted into the gap between the two adjacent chips through the through hole on the chip. At the same time, in the process of swinging of the limiting rod, the partition rod slides synchronously relative to the limiting rod, so that the distance between the partition rod and the end of the limiting rod gradually increases, thereby separating the chips which are closely attached to each other, and avoiding the influence of external factors such as air pressure and friction. At this time, the upper chip can be moved to a specified position by the mechanical arm. By repeating the foregoing process, the chips which are closely stacked together can be placed and separated piece by piece. Thus, compared with manual separation, on the one hand, no manpower is required, and on the other hand, the separation efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0008] Further, the limiting structure further comprises a connecting plate, one end of the connecting plate is in transmission connection with the power structure, the other end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected with the transmission rod, and the connecting plate is perpendicular to the transmission rod.

[0009] Further, the power structure comprises a driving sleeve and a driven column, the driven column is fixedly connected with the transmission rod, the driving sleeve is rotatably arranged in the shell, the driving sleeve is sleeved on the driven column, and a transmission inclined surface is arranged between the driving sleeve and the driven column, so that the driven column can move along the vertical direction when the driving sleeve rotates.

[0010] Further, the transmission slope includes a driving slope and a driven slope; the driving slope corresponds to the driven slope; the driving slope is connected with the driving sleeve; and the driven slope is connected with the driven column.

[0011] Further, the driven slope includes a first driven slope and a second driven slope; the first driven slope is attached to the driving slope; and the second driven slope is arranged at intervals between the driving slope.

[0012] Further, the power structure further includes a power motor; an output end of the power motor is engaged with the driving sleeve to drive the driving sleeve to rotate.

[0013] Further, the grabbing structure further includes a reset spring; one end of the reset spring is connected with the transmission rod; and the other end of the reset spring is connected with the shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0015] The present application can effectively separate the originally closely stacked chips one by one, thereby facilitating the subsequent processing process. On the one hand, no additional manpower is required. On the other hand, the separation efficiency is effectively improved.

[0016] The power is completely derived from the power motor, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the device and reducing the space occupation of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and in conjunction with the drawings, the technical solutions of the present application are further described, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] A cooler chip separation device, comprising: grabbing structure 1, shell 2. The grabbing structure 1 is located on one side of the shell 2. A cavity for accommodating the grabbing structure 1 is formed in the shell 2. A connecting flange is fixedly arranged on the side of the shell 2 away from the grabbing structure 1. Thus, the shell 2 can be connected with a displacement structure such as a mechanical arm. Thus, under the driving of the displacement structure, the device as a whole can perform corresponding actions according to actual needs.

[0028] The number of grabbing structures 1 is multiple. The grabbing structure 1 corresponds one-to-one to the through hole pre-formed on the chip. The position arrangement of the grabbing structure 1 corresponds to the position arrangement of the through hole. Thus, the grabbing structure 1 can accurately align with the through hole on the chip.

[0029] Specifically, the grabbing structure 1 comprises power structure 11, limiting structure 12, separation structure 13, and reset spring 14. The limiting structure 12 is four groups in total. The limiting structures 12 are arranged in a cross shape. The limiting structure 12 comprises limiting rod 121, transmission rod 122, and connecting plate 123. One end of the limiting rod 121 is swingably connected with the transmission rod 122. The other end of the connecting plate 123 is fixedly connected with the transmission rod 122. The connecting plate 123 is perpendicular to the transmission rod 122. A T-shaped sliding protrusion is fixedly arranged on the transmission rod 122. A sliding groove corresponding to the sliding protrusion is arranged in the shell 2 along the vertical direction. Thus, the transmission rod 122 can slide along the vertical direction.

[0030] The partition structure 13 comprises connecting rods 131 and partition rods 132. The number of the connecting rods 131 is four. The connecting rods 131 correspond to the limiting rods 121 one by one. One end of the connecting rod 131 is swingably connected with the limiting rod 121, and the other end is swingably connected with the shell 2. The partition rod 132 is L-shaped. The number of the partition rod 132 is two. The two partition rods 132 are respectively assembled on the two limiting rods 121 which are mirror image distributed. One end of the partition rod 132 is swingably connected with the connecting rod 131, and the other end is slidably connected with the limiting rod 121. For the convenience of description, the limiting structure 12 assembled with the partition rod 132 is referred to as limiting structure A, and the limiting structure 12 not assembled with the partition rod 132 is referred to as limiting structure B.

[0031] The number of the reset springs 14 is four. The reset springs 14 correspond to the transmission rods 122 one by one. One end of the reset spring 14 is connected with the connecting plate 123. Thus, the reset spring 14 is connected together with the transmission rod 122 through the connecting plate 123. The other end of the reset spring 14 is connected with the shell 2. As preferred, the connecting plate 123 and the shell 2 are provided with protrusions corresponding to the reset spring 14. The protrusions extend into the reset spring 14 to limit the reset spring 14.

[0032] The power structure 11 comprises a driving sleeve 111, driven columns 112 and a power motor 115. The number of the driven columns 112 is four. The driven columns 112 correspond to the connecting plates 123 one by one. The four driven columns 112 are combined together in parallel to form a complete cylindrical structure. The driven columns 112 are fixedly connected with the connecting plates 123, so as to be connected with the transmission rods 122 through the connecting plates 123. The driving sleeve 111 is rotatably arranged in the shell 2. The driving sleeve 111 is sleeved on the cylindrical structure formed by the four driven columns 112. Thus, the driven columns 112 and the driving sleeve 111 are limited to each other, so that the driven columns 112 can only move in the vertical direction. The driving sleeve 111 and the driven columns 112 are provided with transmission inclined surfaces. The transmission inclined surfaces comprise driving inclined surfaces 113 and driven inclined surfaces 114. The driving inclined surfaces 113 correspond to the driven inclined surfaces 114. The number of the driving inclined surfaces 113 is four. The driving inclined surfaces 113 correspond to the driven columns 112 one by one. The driving inclined surfaces 113 are connected with the driving sleeve 111. The driven inclined surfaces 114 are connected with the driven columns 112. The driven inclined surfaces 114 comprise first driven inclined surfaces 1141 and second driven inclined surfaces 1142. The number of the first driven inclined surfaces 1141 is two groups. The first driven inclined surfaces 1141 are connected with the driven columns 112 corresponding to the limiting structure B. The number of the second driven inclined surfaces 1142 is two groups. The second driven inclined surfaces 1142 are connected with the driven columns 112 corresponding to the limiting structure A. In the default state, the first driven inclined surfaces 1141 are in close contact with the driving inclined surfaces 113. The second driven inclined surfaces 1142 are arranged at intervals from the driving inclined surfaces 113. Meanwhile, the first driven inclined surfaces 1141 are further provided with extension portions. The output end of the power motor 115 is engaged with the driving sleeve 111 to drive the driving sleeve 111 to rotate. As preferred, the shell 2 is provided with corresponding through holes in advance to connect the power supply circuit and the control circuit corresponding to the power motor 115, so that the power motor 115 can be connected with the mechanical arm or other equipment to support the normal operation of the power motor 115.

[0033] In actual application, taking the mechanical arm as an example. The mechanical arm drives the device to move above the chip, and drives the device so that the position of the grabbing structure 1 corresponds to the through hole of the chip. Then, the mechanical arm continues to drive the device, so that the distance between the lowermost end of the device and the chip is a specified distance.

[0034] When the device moves to the designated position, the power motor 115 is started. Under the drive of the power motor 115, the driving sleeve 111 rotates, thereby driving the driving slope 113 to move synchronously. Since in the default state, the first driven slope 1141 is in the state of adhesion with the corresponding driving slope 113, the first driven slope 1141 first acts on the corresponding driving slope 113. Thus, the limiting structure B first acts. Under the action of the slope, the driving sleeve 111 will push the driven column 112 corresponding to the limiting structure B to move downward along the vertical direction. When the driven column 112 moves downward along the vertical direction, it will drive the transmission rod 122 to move downward along the vertical direction through the corresponding connecting plate 123. At this time, the transmission rod 122 will drive the limiting rod 121 to move synchronously. Since the limiting rod 121 is limited by the connecting rod 131, the limiting rod 121 will swing relative to the transmission rod 122. Thus, the limiting rod 121 will extend into the gap between the adjacent two layers of chips through the through hole of the upper chip. At the same time, the end of the limiting rod 121 away from the transmission rod 122 will abut against the lower chip. At this time, the limiting rod 121 of the limiting structure B will position the lower chip, thereby effectively avoiding the uncontrollable movement of the lower chip in the subsequent process.

[0035] When the positioning of the lower chip is completed, the power motor 115 is still running. Under the drive of the power motor 115, the driving sleeve 111 is still rotating. Under the drive of the driving sleeve 111, the driving slope 113 corresponding to the first driven slope 1141 moves to the extension of the first driven slope 1141. At this time, the corresponding driving slope 113 abuts against the extension, thereby maintaining the current position state of the limiting structure B. Meanwhile, the driving slope 113 corresponding to the second driven slope 1142 starts to abut against the second driven slope 1142. Under the continuous rotation of the driving sleeve 111, the corresponding driving slope 113 starts to interact with the second driven slope 1142, thereby pressing the transmission rod 122 corresponding to the limiting structure A to move downward in the vertical direction. Under the drive of the transmission rod 122, the corresponding limiting rod 121 swings. In the process of swinging of the limiting rod 121, under the influence of the joint action of the limiting rod 121 and the connecting rod 131, the end of the partition rod 132 connected with the limiting rod 121 starts to gradually slide relative to the limiting rod 121. Meanwhile, in the process of swinging of the limiting rod 121, the corresponding limiting rod 121 and the partition rod 132 jointly extend into the adjacent two chips. On the other hand, as the swinging process of the limiting rod 121 gradually proceeds, the distance between the end of the partition rod 132 and the end of the limiting rod 121 away from the transmission rod 122 gradually increases. Finally, when the driving sleeve 111 rotates to the limit position, the distance between them reaches the maximum. At this time, the distance between them is greater than the gap between the adjacent two chips. Thus, the originally closely fitted two chips can be separated, so that they are no longer in direct contact. Meanwhile, since the limiting structure B abuts against the lower chip, the lower chip will not be affected by external factors such as friction and air pressure and move during the separation of the upper chip. On the other hand, in the process of the transmission rod 122 moving downward in the vertical direction, the return spring 14 is gradually compressed, thereby gradually accumulating elastic force.

[0036] When the two chips are separated, the end of the partition rod 132 still abuts against the upper chip. At this time, the mechanical arm can be started again, thereby driving the upper chip to the designated position under the drive of the mechanical arm. When the upper chip moves to the designated position, the control power motor 115 is reversed, and then the driving sleeve 111 starts to rotate reversely, thereby driving the driving slope 113 to move to the initial position. In the process of reverse movement of the driving slope 113, the elastic force of the return spring 14 is gradually released, thereby driving the transmission rod 122 to move upward in the vertical direction, and further driving the limiting structure 12 and the partition structure 13 to reset to the initial position. Thus, the partition rod 132 is completely separated from the chip, and then the device is separated from the chip, so that the above process can be repeated, thereby separating the originally closely stacked chips one by one and placing the chips in the state shown in the drawings by the mechanical arm.

[0037] On the other hand, with the chips being separated one by one, the action of the mechanical arm will change gradually to enable the aforementioned process to continue. The relevant control of the action of the mechanical arm can be completed by using the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0038] In order to more conveniently and clearly understand the aforementioned process, the limiting structure 12, the separating structure 13 and the chips are abstracted as line states, and details can be seen in the drawings.

[0039] In summary, the present application can effectively separate the originally closely stacked chips one by one, thereby facilitating the subsequent processing process. On the one hand, no additional manpower is required. On the other hand, the separation efficiency is effectively improved. At the same time, the power of the aforementioned process is completely derived from the power motor 115, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the device and reducing the space occupation of the device.

[0040] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art of the present application can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, without deviating from the spirit of the present application or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
