[0002] In the field of server manufacturing, with the continuous growth of data processing requirements, the performance of servers has been continuously improved, which also causes a significant increase in the heat generated during the operation of servers. In order to ensure the stable and efficient operation of servers, the heat dissipation problem has become a key factor. Due to its excellent heat dissipation performance, the liquid-cooled radiator module has been widely used in server cooling systems. Currently, in the process of assembling the liquid-cooled radiator module onto the server motherboard, the traditional method mostly relies on manual operation. Workers need to manually align the liquid-cooled radiator module with the corresponding position on the server motherboard, and then tighten the fixing screws with tools such as screwdrivers to complete the assembly. On the one hand, the efficiency of manual operation is low and it is difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale production; on the other hand, the accuracy of manual operation is difficult to guarantee, resulting in position deviation of the liquid-cooled radiator module during the assembly process, affecting the heat dissipation effect, and even possibly damaging the server motherboard or the liquid-cooled radiator module due to improper assembly, thereby increasing the defective rate of products and raising the production cost. Some existing enterprises have tried to use some simple automated equipment to assist in the assembly, but these equipment have relatively single functions and can only achieve simple grasping and handling of the liquid-cooled radiator module. Manual participation is still required in the alignment and fixing links, and the entire assembly process cannot be fully automated, increasing the equipment investment cost. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can automatically assemble the liquid-cooled radiator module to solve this problem.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By respectively arranging a tray loading component and a tray placing component on a base, arranging a tray storage component on the base, and arranging a handling and assembling component based on a robotic arm, trays carrying liquid-cooled radiator modules are stacked at the bottom of a double-layer material cart. By pushing the double-layer material cart into the base, the trays stacked at the bottom of the double-layer material cart are conveyed to a support bracket through a roller conveyor line. Subsequently, a lead screw drive motor drives a lead screw lifting shaft to rotate, thereby driving the support bracket and the trays stacked on the support bracket to rise to the loading station on the surface of the base. At this time, the robotic arm drives the handling and assembling component to move, thereby clamping and transporting the liquid-cooled radiator modules in the trays to a main board conveyor line for assembly. The tray placing component arranges blocking rods at both ends of a horizontal sliding seat, and arranges a positioning abutting rod and a positioning support block on the horizontal sliding seat based on a positioning abutting cylinder. The tray is positioned by the positioning abutting rod abutting against both sides of the tray along the conveying direction, and the tray is lifted by the positioning support block so that the topmost tray is separated from the bottom tray. Subsequently, the horizontal sliding component drives the empty tray to the tray storage component. The tray storage component arranges a lifting cylinder on a storage board, and arranges a lifting cylinder at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder. At the same time, a lifting seat is arranged at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder, and a lifting block is arranged on the lifting seat based on a lifting cylinder. When the empty tray moves to the bottom of the storage board, first, the lifting cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the lifting seat to descend, and at the same time, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting block to move outwards so that the empty trays are stacked together. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting block to move inwards to the side of the bottommost tray to lift the edge of the tray. Then, the lifting cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the lifting seat to rise. When the number of empty trays in the storage board reaches the upper limit, the lifting cylinder and the lifting cylinder drive the lifting seat to descend to place the stacked empty trays on the upper layer of the double-layer material cart for storage, greatly reducing the time for taking and placing materials; 2. The handling and assembling component respectively arranges a floating clamping component, a screw locking component, a first vision recognition camera, and a clamping and plugging component on a mounting seat. The floating clamping component arranges a clamping block at the sliding end of a synchronous clamping cylinder, and opens a clamping groove on the clamping block that matches the clamping groove on the edge of the tray. The liquid-cooled radiator module is clamped by the clamping block, and is clamped and positioned by the clamping groove cooperating with the positioning block on the liquid-cooled radiator module. A first floating rod is arranged at the top of the synchronous clamping cylinder, and a first floating spring is sleeved on the first floating rod, thereby realizing buffering during the clamping of the liquid-cooled radiator module to avoid damage to the liquid-cooled radiator module. After the floating clamping component conveys the liquid-cooled radiator module to the server main board, the screw locking component realizes locking and fixing the liquid-cooled radiator module on the server main board. Finally, the clamping and plugging component drives the clamping cylinder to continue to move through a second lifting slide, a first horizontal cylinder, a second horizontal cylinder, and a third lifting slide, thereby plugging the liquid-cooled pipeline into the server main board, improving the automated assembly level of the liquid-cooled radiator module and reducing the assembly cost.
