Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid cooling radiator module assembly, and in particular to a liquid cooling radiator module assembly device for a server motherboard. Background Art

[0002] In the field of server production and manufacturing, with the continuous growth of data processing needs, server performance continues to improve, which also causes a significant increase in the heat generated by the server during operation. In order to ensure that the server can run stably and efficiently, the heat dissipation issue has become a key factor. Liquid cooling radiator modules have been widely used in server cooling systems due to their excellent heat dissipation performance.

[0003] Currently, the traditional method of assembling liquid cooling radiator modules onto server motherboards relies heavily on manual labor. Workers manually align the liquid cooling radiator module with the corresponding position on the server motherboard and then tighten the fixing screws using tools such as screwdrivers to complete the assembly. This manual assembly method is inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, manual operation accuracy is difficult to ensure, resulting in positional deviations of the liquid cooling radiator module during assembly, affecting the heat dissipation effect and even potentially damaging the server motherboard or liquid cooling radiator module due to improper assembly. This increases the defective rate and production costs. Some companies have attempted to use simple automated equipment to assist in assembly, but these devices are relatively limited in functionality and can only achieve simple grasping and handling of the liquid cooling radiator module. Manual participation is still required for alignment and fixing, making it impossible to fully automate the entire assembly process, which increases equipment investment costs.
