Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of machining, and particularly to a heat conduction tube processing device. Background Art

[0002] Figure 1 As shown in the structural schematic diagram of the heat conduction tube 20, the heat conduction tube 20 is in a "ji" shape, and includes a first bending portion 21, a second bending portion 22, and a transition portion 23 located at the junction of the two bending portions. The connection line between the first bending portion 21 and the transition portion 23 is offset from the connection line between the second bending portion 22 and the transition portion 23, that is, the first bending portion 21 and the second bending portion 22 are not in the same plane.

[0003] Before shipment, a reference surface 24 needs to be machined on the transition portion 23. However, since the two bending portions 22 are not in the same plane, when the heat conduction tube 20 is laid flat on the conveyor belt, there will always be one part翘起 (the specific word here is not clear in Chinese, it might be a wrong character, but keep it as is for now).

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the clamping block is provided with a plurality of dividing teeth, the roots of the dividing teeth are tangent to the groove wall of the semicircular groove, the thickness of the dividing teeth decreases from one end connected to the semicircular groove to the other end; and the dividing teeth on the two clamping blocks are staggered.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the guide rod is tilted on the supporting foot, the end of the guide rod close to the loading robot is higher than the end away from the loading robot, and a dividing groove is provided on the end of the guide rod close to the loading robot, and the dividing groove can accommodate one of the heat pipes; the heat pipe located in the dividing groove is in contact with the conductive sheet.

[0036] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The present invention provides a heat transfer pipe processing device 10, which includes: a material rack 100, a central turntable 200, and a loading robot 300, a unloading robot 400, and a stamping mechanism 500 arranged around the central turntable 200.

[0040] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5A plurality of jigs 210 are disposed on the central turntable 200, and a floating frame 510, a slider 520 and a pressing head 530 matching the jigs 210 are disposed on the stamping mechanism 500. The pressing head 530 is used to stamp the heat conducting pipe 20 on the jig 210, and the slider 520 is used to push the floating frame 510 upward so that the floating frame 510 abuts against the bottom of the central turntable 200;

[0041] See also Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The material rack 100 includes a flipping robot arm 110, a conveyor belt 120, a pusher block 130, two support legs 140, and a guide rod 150 located between the support legs 140. The guide rod 150 is parallel to the conveyor belt 120. The heat pipe 20 to be processed is hung on the guide rod 150, and the guide rod 150 is against the curved position on the heat pipe 20. The pusher block 130 is placed on the conveyor belt 120, and the pusher block 130 is used to push the heat pipe 20 close to the flipping robot arm 110.

[0042] The turning robot arm 110 is used to drive the heat conducting pipe 20 to turn over and bring the heat conducting pipe 20 close to the loading robot arm 300 .

[0043] The process of the heat pipe processing equipment 10 processing the reference surface 24 on the heat pipe 20 is as follows:

[0044] Hang a plurality of heat-conducting tubes 20 to be processed on the guide rod 150. Specifically, hang the first bending portion 21 on the guide rod 150 so that the guide rod 150 contacts the bent portion of the first bending portion 21. The guide rod 150 provides support for the heat-conducting tube 20. Since the contact portion between the guide rod 150 and the heat-conducting tube 20 is the bent portion of the first bending portion 21, the guide rod 150 also provides a limit for the heat-conducting tube 20.

[0045] The conveyor belt 120 starts, and the pusher block 130 placed on the conveyor belt 120 moves forward accordingly, and the pusher block 130 pushes the heat pipes 20 on the guide rod 150 to make all the heat pipes 20 close together and push the heat pipes 20 close to the flip robot arm 110.

[0046] The heat conducting tubes 20 on the guide rod 150 are pressed against each other by the pusher block 130 and moved to the position of the flipping mechanical arm 110. The flipping mechanical arm 110 picks up the first heat conducting tube 20, pulls it out from the guide rod 150, and flips the heat conducting tube 20 90 degrees, so that the transition part 23 is parallel to the horizontal ground, in preparation for loading;

[0047] The loading robot 300 moves to the top of the flip robot arm 110 to pick up the heat conducting tube 20, and transfers the heat conducting tube 20 to one of the jigs 210 on the central turntable 200, and the central turntable 200 transfers the heat conducting tube 20 to the bottom of the pressing head 530;

[0048] The slider 520 extends to lift the floating frame 510. After the floating frame 510 is pressed against the bottom of the center turntable 200, the pressure head 530 presses down to form a reference surface 24 on the transition portion 23. During this process, the floating frame 510 maintains contact with the bottom of the center turntable 200, providing support under the pressure head 530 to prevent the center turntable 200 from being offset due to downward pressure.

[0049] The pressure head 530 is reset, and the central turntable 200 is started again to transfer the processed heat pipe 20 to the position of the unloading robot 400. The unloading robot 400 takes away the target heat pipe 20, and the central turntable 200 transports the empty fixture 210 back to the loading robot 300 to load the next heat pipe 20 to be processed.

[0050] It should be emphasized that the pusher block 130 is not connected to the conveyor belt 120. When the conveyor belt 120 is running, the pusher block 130 is driven forward by friction. Therefore, when the resistance encountered by the pusher block 130 in the process of pushing the heat pipe 20 is greater than the friction between the pusher block 130 and the conveyor belt 120, the pusher block 130 will be in a "slip" state. In other words, the upper limit of the thrust that the heat pipe 20 bears is the friction between the pusher block 130 and the conveyor belt 120, which can prevent the pusher block 130 from crushing the heat pipe 20, and provide thrust to arrange the heat pipes 20 neatly and orderly on the guide rod 150, which is conducive to avoiding the position accuracy of the heat pipe 20 during the loading process and improving the success rate of loading.

[0051] It should be noted that the heat pipes 20 to be processed are mounted in batches on the guide rods 150 of the material rack 100, and the heat pipes 20 and the conveyor belt 120 are separated from each other and do not contact each other, and the contact portion between the heat pipes 20 and the guide rods 150 is only the position where the bend occurs on the first bending portion 21, that is, the contact area between the heat pipes 20 and the material rack 100 is small, and the friction between the heat pipes 20 and the material rack 100 is also small, ensuring that the pushing block 130 can push the heat pipes 20.

[0052] Furthermore, the first bend 21 and the second bend 22 of the heat pipe 20 are not on the same plane. If the heat pipe 20 is directly placed on the conveyor belt 120, one of the bends or the transition portion 23 will be tilted, making it difficult to position the heat pipe 20. Figure 2 shown.

[0053] In this embodiment, the heat-conducting tube 20 is hung on the guide rod 150, and the guide rod 150 contacts the bending position on the first bending portion 21, so that the heat-conducting tube 20 is in a "vertical" state instead of a "lying flat" state. When the pusher block 130 moves, it can drive all the heat-conducting tubes 20 on the guide rod 150 to fit together, so that the guide rod 150 can simultaneously mount more heat-conducting tubes 20, and the guide rod 150 provides support while also limiting the heat-conducting tube 20, providing conditions for automatic loading; further, the contact area between the guide rod 150 and the heat-conducting tube 20 is small, which reduces the resistance of the heat-conducting tube 20 when sliding along the guide rod 150, so that the pusher block 130 can push multiple heat-conducting tubes 20 to slide along the guide rod 150.

[0054] Preferably, the cross section of the guide rod 150 is circular, and the number of the guide rods 150 is 2. The friction between the guide rod 150 and the heat pipe 20 is further reduced, so that the heat pipe 20 slides more smoothly along the guide rod 150. The cross section of the heat pipe 20 is in the shape of a letter "J", and the two guide rods 150 just contact the two curved parts on the first bending part 21 for positioning.

[0055] Since the first bend 21 and the second bend 22 on the heat conducting tube 20 are not on the same plane, when the pusher block 130 pushes the heat conducting tube 20 to slide along the guide rod 150, the adjacent heat conducting tubes 20 will fit together. Although the guide rod 150 provides a limit for the first bend 21, the second bend 22 is suspended and lacks support. The center of gravity of the heat conducting tube 20 is biased toward the side where the first bend 21 and the second bend 22 meet. Therefore, the friction between the heat conducting tube 20 and the guide rod 150 at this position is greater than the friction on the other guide rod 150. The difference in friction force on the two guide rods 150 can easily cause the heat pipe 20 to tilt during the sliding process. To solve this problem, the rack 100 also includes a controller (not shown), a power supply, and two in-place detection members 160. The in-place detection member 160 includes a movable ring 161, a buffer 162, and a conductive sheet 163. The movable ring 161 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 150, the buffer 162 is connected to the support foot 140, and the buffer 162 is connected to the movable ring 161. The conductive sheet 163 is arranged on the movable ring 161, and the conductive sheet 163 is used to fit the heat pipe;

[0056] Among them, the power supply, the controller and the two conductive sheets 163 are connected by wires to form a detection circuit in an open circuit state. If the heat pipe 20 is in a tilted state, the heat pipe 20 is only in contact with one of the conductive sheets 163, and the detection circuit is still in an open circuit state; only when the heat pipe 20 is in contact with the two conductive sheets 163 at the same time can the detection circuit be connected. When the detection circuit is connected, the flip robot arm 110 picks up the heat pipe 20 to ensure the feeding accuracy of the heat pipe 20.

[0057] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the flip robot arm 110 includes a lifting cylinder 111, a translation cylinder 112, a slide 113, a flip cylinder 114, a rotating shaft 115 and an air claw 116 located on the rotating shaft 115. The air claw 116 is provided with two clamping blocks 170 arranged opposite to each other. The air claw 116 is used to drive the two clamping blocks 170 to move closer to each other to clamp the heat pipe 20; the clamping block 170 is provided with a semicircular groove 171 matching the heat pipe.

[0058] When the heat conducting tube 20 contacts the conductive sheet 163, the translation cylinder 112 extends to make the air claw 116 approach the target heat conducting tube 20, the air claw 116 starts, and the two clamping blocks 170 move closer to each other to clamp the target heat conducting tube 20. The lifting cylinder 111 drives the air claw 116 to rise and extract the clamped heat conducting tube 20. The flipping cylinder 114 drives the rotating shaft 115 to rotate, so that the clamped heat conducting tube 20 is flipped 90°, and then the feeding robot 300 takes away the flipped heat conducting tube 20.

[0059] It should be noted that when the push block 130 pushes the heat-conducting tube 20, the heat-conducting tubes 20 on the guide rod 150 will be squeezed together, and the adjacent heat-conducting tubes 20 will fit together; when loading, the flipping robot arm 110 will pull out the heat-conducting tube 20 that is in contact with the conductive sheet 163, and the heat-conducting tubes 20 are close together, there is friction between the adjacent heat-conducting tubes 20, and the second bending portion 22 on the heat-conducting tube 20 is suspended outside the guide rod 150, and the other heat-conducting tube 20 in contact with the target heat-conducting tube 20 is easily lifted up, causing the position of the other heat-conducting tubes 20 in contact with the target heat-conducting tube 20 to shift or fall off the guide rod 150; the heat-conducting tube 20 itself is formed by bending a thin tube with a small diameter, and when the flipping robot arm 110 picks up the target heat-conducting tube 20, it is easy to clamp the adjacent heat-conducting tubes 20 together, and the above problems are likely to cause loading failure. To solve the above problems, the present application also provides the following two embodiments:

[0060] Embodiment 1:

[0061] See also Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 The guide rod 150 is tiltedly arranged on the supporting foot 140, and the end of the guide rod 150 close to the loading robot 300 is higher than the end away from the loading robot 300, and a dividing groove 151 is provided on the end of the guide rod 150 close to the loading robot 300, and the dividing groove 151 can accommodate a heat pipe; the heat pipe 20 located in the dividing groove 151 is in contact with the conductive sheet 163.

[0062] The depth of the dividing groove 151 is smaller than the diameter of the heat pipe 20, and the cross-section of the dividing groove 151 is triangular. After the heat pipe 20 falls into the dividing groove 151, it fits with the conductive sheet 163 under the guidance of the dividing groove 151, and the heat pipe 20 will form an obstacle to prevent the subsequent heat pipes 20 from moving forward.

[0063] The guide rod 150 is tiltedly arranged on the support foot 140. When the pusher block 130 pushes the heat conducting tube 20 to approach the flip robot arm 110, the heat conducting tube 20 is "uphill". When the heat conducting tube 20 at the front falls into the material distribution groove 151 and contacts the conductive sheet 163, the subsequent heat conducting tube 20 cannot continue to move forward.

[0064] When the heat conducting tube 20 contacts the conductive sheet 163, the conveyor belt 120 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the pushing block 130 to slide back, making room for the heat conducting tube 20 on the guide rod 150 that has not fallen into the dividing trough 151 to slide down. After the flipping robot arm 110 takes away the heat conducting tube 20 in the dividing trough 151, the pushing block 130 pushes the subsequent heat conducting tube 20 to slide until the next heat conducting tube 20 falls into the dividing trough 151. This process is repeated to continuously supply heat conducting tubes 20 to the flipping robot arm 110.

[0065] It should be emphasized that when the heat pipe 20 contacts the conductive sheet 163, the conveyor belt 120 rotates in the opposite direction to move the pushing block 130 away from the flipping robot arm 110, thereby removing the thrust on the heat pipe 20 and reducing the friction between adjacent heat pipes 20; and after the pushing block 130 retreats, the heat pipes 20 that have not entered the dividing trough 151 will slide down along the guide rod 150 under the action of gravity, so that the frontmost heat pipe 20 on the guide rod 150 is separated from the other heat pipes 20, so that the target heat pipe 20 will not interfere with other heat pipes 20 when it is lifted; and a gap is formed between the target heat pipe 20 and the other heat pipes 20, which can ensure that the flipping robot arm 110 only clamps a single heat pipe 20 each time the material is loaded, so that the loading process is orderly and the failure rate is low.

[0066] Embodiment 2:

[0067] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The clamping block 170 is provided with a plurality of dividing teeth 172, the roots of the dividing teeth 172 are tangent to the groove wall of the semicircular groove 171, and the thickness of the dividing teeth 172 decreases from one end connected to the semicircular groove 171 to the other end, that is, the dividing teeth 172 are in a pointed cone shape; the dividing teeth 172 on the two clamping blocks 170 are staggered.

[0068] The clamping block 170 is also provided with an avoidance groove (not shown) matched with the dividing tooth 172 . When the clamping blocks 170 are brought close to each other, the dividing tooth 172 is inserted into the avoidance groove on the other clamping block 170 .

[0069] When the flipping mechanical arm 110 clamps the heat conducting tube 20, the translation cylinder 112 pushes the air claw 116 close to the guide rod 150, so that the dividing teeth 172 on the clamping block 170 are aligned with the gap between adjacent heat conducting tubes 20. When the air claw 116 is started, the two clamping blocks 170 move closer to each other, the dividing teeth 172 extend into the above gap, the tooth surface of the dividing teeth 172 contacts the outer wall of the heat conducting tube 20, and the two adjacent heat conducting tubes 20 are spread apart;

[0070] Since the tooth roots of the dividing teeth 172 are tangent to the semicircular groove 171, after the two clamping blocks 170 are brought close together, the dividing teeth 172 can guide the target heat conducting pipe 20 to slide into the semicircular groove 171, so that the target heat conducting pipe 20 is fixed in the area surrounded by the two semicircular grooves 171;

[0071] During the above process, before the clamping blocks 170 are completely closed, the dividing teeth 172 first spread the adjacent heat pipes 20 apart to separate the target heat pipe 20 from the other heat pipes 20, thereby ensuring that the target heat pipe 20 does not contact other heat pipes 20 during feeding, thereby ensuring stable feeding.

[0072] Furthermore, the dividing teeth 172 are in a pointed cone shape, and the tooth surface of the dividing teeth 172 will push the target heat-conducting tube 20 to move toward the side where the conductive sheet 163 is located, so that the target heat-conducting tube 20 can be tightly attached to the two conductive sheets 163, and the reaction force provided by the conductive sheets 163 pushes the first bending portion 21, so that the first bending portion 21 is flush with the conductive sheet 163, thereby improving the position accuracy of the heat-conducting tube 20 when feeding; the dividing teeth 172 guide the heat-conducting tube 20 into the semicircular groove 171, which can avoid scratching the outer skin of the heat-conducting tube 20 when clamping it.

[0073] See also Figure 5 and Fig.13 In one embodiment, the loading robot 300 includes a translation motor 310, a lifting motor 320 and a synchronous clamp 330. The translation motor 310 cooperates with the lifting motor 320 to drive the synchronous clamp 330 to reciprocate between the central turntable 200 and the material rack 100;

[0074] See also Fig.13 The synchronous clamp 330 includes a first slide bar 331, a second slide bar 332, a sliding seat 333 and two feeding cylinders 334. The first slide bar 331 and the second slide bar 332 can be slidably arranged on the sliding seat 333. The first slide bar 331 is parallel to the second slide bar 332. There are multiple first clamps 335 on the first slide bar 331, and multiple second clamps 336 on the second slide bar 332.

[0075] The two feeding cylinders 334 are used to drive the first slide bar 331 and the second slide bar 332 to translate, so that the first clamp 335 and the second clamp 336 are close to each other. When the heat pipe 20 needs to be clamped, the feeding cylinder 334 connected to the first slide bar 331 is extended, and the feeding cylinder 334 connected to the second slide bar 332 is contracted, so that the first clamp 335 and the second clamp 336 are close to each other; conversely, if the feeding cylinder 334 connected to the first slide bar 331 is contracted, and the feeding cylinder 334 connected to the second slide bar 332 is extended, the first clamp 335 and the second clamp 336 are separated from each other.

[0076] Since the heat conducting tube 20 is in a "J"-shaped structure, when loading, it is necessary to clamp two parts of the heat conducting tube 20 at the same time to keep it stable. In this embodiment, a plurality of first clamps 335 are provided on the first slide bar 331, and a plurality of second clamps 336 are provided on the second slide bar 332. When the first slide bar 331 and the second slide bar 332 move, the clamps thereon can be driven to move synchronously, so that multiple parts of the heat conducting tube 20 can be clamped or released at the same time, thereby improving the loading accuracy.

[0077] See also Figure 4 Preferably, the stamping mechanism 500 is provided with a camera 540 for taking photos of the heat pipe 20 to distinguish the processing status of the reference surface 24 .

[0078] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, a slide 410 and a recovery box 420 are provided below the unloading robot 400. The unloading robot 400 transfers the processed heat conducting pipe 20 to the slide 410, so that the heat conducting pipe 20 falls into the recovery box 420 along with the slide 410, which is convenient for centralized transportation.

[0079] See also Figure 6 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, a baffle 131 is provided on the pusher block 130, and the baffle 131 is used to push the heat pipe 20. The baffle 131 increases the contact area between the pusher block 130 and the heat pipe 20, and prevents the heat pipe 20 from deviating when sliding along the guide rod 150; at the same time, the baffle 131 provides a limit, and limits the pusher block 130 itself on the conveyor belt 120 to prevent it from falling during the movement.

[0080] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
