Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inverter manufacturing, in particular to a pneumatic device and method for coating thermal conductive silicone grease on a radiator ceramic piece. Background Art

[0002] Inverters typically contain multiple power components, which generate significant heat and require a heat sink to dissipate it promptly. Ceramic sheets serve as a heat transfer medium between these components and the heat sink. To ensure optimal contact between the ceramic sheet, the power components, and the heat sink, thermal grease is applied to both surfaces.

[0003] The existing method of applying thermal grease to ceramic sheets is inefficient and has significant limitations. The ceramic sheet is placed on a jig, coated with grease on one side, and then the heat sink is placed on the jig. The jig and heat sink are then flipped 180 degrees, and the ceramic sheet is transferred to the heat sink. The jig is then removed and the other side of the sheet is coated with grease. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring multiple handling and flipping operations, especially for large and heavy heat sinks. This results in high labor costs and is labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0060] like Figure 8-12 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the linear displacement mechanism 41 includes a rodless cylinder 411, a slice discharge switch 412 and a slice discharge reversing valve 413. The air inlet of the slice discharge switch 412 is connected to the air outlet of the air pump via a pipeline, and the air outlet of the slice discharge switch 412 is connected to the air inlet of the slice discharge reversing valve 413 via a pipeline. The first air outlet of the slice discharge reversing valve 413 is connected to one air port of the rodless cylinder 411, and the second air outlet of the slice discharge reversing valve 413 is connected to the other air port of the rodless cylinder 411.

A method for applying thermal grease to a radiator ceramic sheet, characterized in that: The pneumatic device for applying thermal grease to a radiator ceramic sheet according to any one of claims 1 to 9 comprises the following steps: Step 1: Divide the first ceramic sheet positioning groove of the radiator into multiple areas, make a relay positioning frame, design through positioning openings on the relay positioning frame to match the multiple areas, make a suction cup device that matches the through positioning openings, and position the second ceramic sheet positioning groove on the suction cup device to match the first ceramic sheet positioning groove in the through positioning openings; Step 2: Place the relay positioning frame on the radiator and align it; Step 3: Place a ceramic sheet in the second ceramic sheet positioning groove of the ceramic sheet placement seat of the suction cup device, evacuate the main gas channel through the air control mechanism, and the vacuum suction cup sucks and presses the ceramic sheet against the second ceramic sheet positioning groove, and apply thermal grease to the exposed first surface of the ceramic sheet; Step 4: Flip the suction cup device 180 degrees and place it in the through-hole of the relay positioning frame; Step 5: The air control mechanism blows air into the main gas channel, and the airflow in the vacuum suction cup blows the ceramic piece into the first ceramic piece positioning groove on the heat sink, and the suction cup device is removed; Step 6: Apply thermal grease to the exposed second surface of the ceramic plate on the radiator.
