Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiator welding technology, and in particular to a welding device for tube-and-strip radiators and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] A tube-type heat sink is a device for dissipating heat from easily heated electronic components in electrical appliances. It is usually made of aluminum alloy, brass, or bronze in the form of plates, sheets, or multiple sheets. It dissipates heat from the components of electrical equipment through heat transfer, preventing the components from overheating and ensuring that the components can work normally.

[0003] Tube-and-strip radiators are constructed by welding multiple heat sinks and two side plates. Currently, the welding of heat sinks and side plates is generally done manually, which is not only inefficient but also prone to incomplete or missing welds. Therefore, this invention proposes a welding processing device and its method for tube-and-strip radiators to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The heat sink conveying assembly includes a conveying component and a loading box for placing heat sinks, which is mounted above the conveying component. The bottom plate of the loading box is provided with a discharge port. A baffle that closes the discharge port is slidably installed on the outside of the bottom plate of the loading box, and the baffle is provided with a through hole that cooperates with the discharge port.

[0008] The base is provided with two slide rails, and the conveyor is slidably mounted on the slide rails. The conveyor and the feeding box are provided with transmission components on both sides. The transmission components are used to drive the baffle to connect its through hole with the discharge port when the conveyor moves to the bottom of the feeding box, so that the heat sink falls onto the conveyor. When the conveyor moves out from under the feeding box, it drives the baffle to close the discharge port.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conveying component includes a movable plate, a plurality of placement slots disposed on the top of the movable plate, and sliders disposed on both sides of the bottom of the movable plate. The plurality of placement slots are parallel and equally spaced. The placement slots cooperate with the discharge port of the loading box. The sliders are slidably mounted on the slide rail.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sliding seat is provided between the sliders on both sides of the movable plate, a screw is provided below the movable plate, the screw passes through the sliding seat and is threadedly connected to it, one end of the screw is inserted and connected to a support seat, and the other end of the screw is connected to a motor, and both the support seat and the motor are mounted on the base.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two support rods are connected to both sides of the feeding box, the bottom end of the support rods is mounted on the base, and the transmission components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding box and the conveying component, and the transmission components are mounted on the support rods.

[0013] The drive shaft is fitted with a mounting base, and the drive shaft is connected to the support rod through the mounting base. The driven gear meshes with the first rack of the baffle, and the second rack meshes with the driving gear when it moves to the position of the driving gear.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the welding assembly includes a top plate, pillars arranged around the bottom of the top plate, and a cylinder installed in the middle of the top plate. The bottom ends of the pillars of the top plate are mounted on a base. A bearing plate is mounted on the output shaft of the cylinder. Welding robotic arms are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the bearing plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side plate conveying assembly includes square shell cylinders embedded on both sides of the top plate for placing the side plates, and a magnetic plate is provided on the base directly below the square shell cylinders.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base is provided with two guide rails on the side away from the conveying component, the two guide rails are located outside the slide rail, and the end of the guide rail near the conveying component is inclined.

[0017] A method for using a welding and processing device for tube-type radiators includes the following steps:

[0018] S1, Loading stage: Place the heat sinks side by side into the loading box, then stack the side plates one on top of the other and put them into the square shell cylinder. The bottom side plate slides down the square shell cylinder onto the magnet plate.

[0019] S2, Heat sink conveying stage: The start motor reverses, causing the motor output shaft to drive the screw to rotate. The movable plate and sliding seat move along the screw, causing the movable plate to gradually approach the feeding box. The second racks on both sides of the movable plate move to the drive gear and mesh with it. The movable plate continues to move, driving the drive gear to rotate through the second rack. The drive gear drives the transmission shaft and driven gear to rotate, driving the first rack and the baffle at the bottom of the feeding box to move through the driven gear.

[0020] S3. When the movable plate moves to the bottom of the feeding box and the placement slot is aligned with the feeding port of the feeding box, the motor is stopped, the baffle moves to the point where its through hole connects with the feeding port, and the heat sink in the feeding box slides through the feeding port into the placement slot.

[0021] S4. Start the motor to rotate forward, so that the movable plate gradually moves away from the feeding box to convey the heat sink. Then, through the second rack, the drive gear, the transmission shaft, the driven gear and the first rack, the baffle at the bottom of the feeding box is driven to reset and the feeding port of the feeding box is closed.

[0022] S5. Welding stage: When the movable plate carrying the heat sink moves between the two side plates, the motor is stopped, and the cylinder and welding robot arm are started to weld the heat sink and the side plates to form a heat sink.

[0023] S6. Discharge Stage: After the radiator welding is completed, the motor is restarted to rotate forward. The movable plate carries the radiator to the end of the slide rail and stops. The radiator moves along the guide rail and gradually leaves the placement slot. The radiator is pushed onto the guide rail for storage. Then the motor is restarted to rotate in reverse, so that the movable plate moves to the bottom of the feeding box for the next material retrieval.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-6 A tube-and-strip radiator welding processing device includes a base 1, a radiator conveying assembly 2 disposed on one side of the base 1, a welding assembly 3 disposed on the other side of the base 1, and a side plate conveying assembly 4.

[0035] The heat sink conveying assembly 2 is used to convey multiple heat sinks side by side to the bottom of the welding assembly 3. The side plate conveying assembly 4 is used to convey the side plate to both sides of the heat sink. The heat sink and the side plate are welded into an integral structure by the welding assembly 3. In specific implementation, the number of heat sinks conveyed at one time is 2-8.

[0036] The heat sink conveying assembly 2 includes a conveying component 21 and a loading box 22 for placing heat sinks mounted on the conveying component 21. The bottom plate of the loading box 22 is provided with a discharge port 221. A baffle 222 that closes the discharge port 221 is slidably installed on the outside of the bottom plate of the loading box 22. The baffle 222 is provided with a through hole 223 that cooperates with the discharge port 221. Specifically, the discharge port 221 of the loading box 22 is a strip structure, and the upper two sides of the discharge port 221 are arc-shaped structures, so that the heat sink can slide into the discharge port 221. The baffle 222 is a C-shaped structure and is fitted into the bottom of the loading box 22, so that the baffle 222 can slide along the bottom of the loading box 22.

[0037] Two slide rails 5 are provided on the base 1. The conveyor 21 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 5. Transmission components 23 are provided on both sides of the conveyor 21 and the feeding box 22. The transmission component 23 is used to drive the baffle 222 to connect its through hole 223 with the discharge port 221 when the conveyor 21 moves to the bottom of the feeding box 22, so that the heat sink falls onto the conveyor 21. When the conveyor 21 moves out from the bottom of the feeding box 22, the baffle 222 is driven to close the discharge port 221.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying component 21 includes a movable plate 211, a plurality of placement slots 212 disposed on the top of the movable plate 211, and sliders 213 disposed on both sides of the bottom of the movable plate 211. Specifically, the number of placement slots 212 is 2-8, the plurality of placement slots 212 are parallel and equally spaced, and the placement slots 212 cooperate with the discharge port 221 of the loading box 22, that is, the spacing distance and the size of the slots 212 are matched with the discharge port 221. The sliders 213 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 5.

[0039] Furthermore, a sliding seat 214 is provided between the sliders 213 on both sides of the movable plate 211. A screw 215 is provided below the movable plate 211. The screw 215 passes through the sliding seat 214 and is threadedly connected to it. One end of the screw 215 is inserted and connected to a support seat, and the other end of the screw 215 is connected to a motor 216. The support seat and the motor 216 are both mounted on the base 1. When the motor 216 rotates forward, the movable plate 211 and the sliding seat 214 move along the screw 215 and gradually move away from the feeding box 22. When the motor 216 rotates in reverse, the movable plate 211 and the sliding seat 214 move along the screw 215 and gradually move closer to the feeding box 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, two support rods 24 are connected to both sides of the feeding box 22. The bottom end of the support rod 24 is installed on the base 1. The transmission component 23 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding box 22 and the conveying component 21. The transmission component 23 is installed on the support rod 24.

[0041] The transmission component 23 includes a transmission shaft 231, a drive gear 232 connected to the bottom end of the transmission shaft 231, a driven gear 233 connected to the top end of the transmission shaft 231, a first rack 234 disposed on both sides of the baffle 222, and a second rack 235 disposed on both sides of the movable plate 211. Specifically, two connecting rods are provided on the inner side of the second rack 235, and the second rack 235 is installed on both sides of the movable plate 211 through the connecting rods.

[0042] The drive shaft 231 is fitted with a mounting seat. The drive shaft 231 is connected to the support rod 24 through the mounting seat. The driven gear 233 meshes with the first rack 234 of the baffle 222. When the second rack 235 moves to the position of the driving gear 232, it meshes with it.

[0043] It should be noted that the movable plate 211 and the second racks 235 on both sides of the movable plate 211 move to the drive gear 232 and mesh with it. The movable plate 211 continues to move, driving the drive gear 232 to rotate through the second racks 235. The drive gear 232 drives the transmission shaft 231 and the driven gear 233 to rotate, driving the first rack 234 and the baffle 222 at the bottom of the feed box 22 to move through the driven gear 233.

[0044] In this embodiment, the welding assembly 3 includes a top plate 31, pillars 32 arranged around the bottom of the top plate 31, and a cylinder 33 installed in the middle of the top plate 31. The bottom ends of the pillars 32 of the top plate 31 are installed on the base 1. A bearing plate 34 is installed on the output shaft of the cylinder 33. Welding robotic arms 35 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the bearing plate 34. The height of the welding robotic arms 35 is adjusted by the cylinder 33, and then the welding robotic arms 35 are used to weld the heat sink and the side plate into an integral structure to form a heat sink.

[0045] In this embodiment, the side plate conveying assembly 4 includes a square shell cylinder 41 embedded on both sides of the top plate 31 for placing the side plates. A base 1 is provided with a magnetic plate 42 directly below the square shell cylinder 41. Specifically, two uprights are installed on the outside of the magnetic plate 42 on the base 1. The magnetic plate 42 is installed on the uprights and is used to attract the side plates to prevent them from tipping over.

[0046] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with two guide rails 6 on the side away from the conveyor 21. The two guide rails 6 are located outside the slide rail 5. The end of the guide rail 6 near the conveyor 21 is inclined. Specifically, the base 1 is installed with two uprights below the guide rails 6. The guide rails 6 are installed on the top of the two uprights. When the movable plate 211 continues to push the heat sink, the heat sink can move along the guide rails 6 and gradually detach from the placement slot 212, pushing the heat sink onto the guide rails 6 for storage.

[0047] The method of using the tube-and-strip radiator welding processing device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0048] S1, Loading stage: Place the heat sinks side by side into the loading box 22, then stack the side plates one on top of the other and put them into the square shell 41. The bottom side plate slides down the square shell 41 onto the magnet plate 42.

[0049] S2, Heat sink conveying stage: Start motor 216 reverses, causing the output shaft of motor 216 to drive screw 215 to rotate. Movable plate 211 and sliding seat 214 move along screw 215, causing movable plate 211 to gradually approach loading box 22. The second racks 235 on both sides of movable plate 211 move to drive gear 232 and mesh with it. Movable plate 211 continues to move, driving drive gear 232 to rotate through second rack 235. Drive gear 232 drives transmission shaft 231 and driven gear 233 to rotate, driving first rack 234 and baffle 222 at the bottom of loading box 22 to move through driven gear 233.

[0050] S3. When the movable plate 211 moves to the bottom of the feeding box 22 and the placement slot 212 is aligned with the discharge port 221 of the feeding box 22, the motor 216 is stopped, and the baffle 222 moves to the point where its through hole 223 connects with the discharge port 221. The heat sink in the feeding box 22 slides through the discharge port 221 into the placement slot 212.

[0051] S4. Start the motor 216 to rotate forward, so that the movable plate 211 gradually moves away from the feeding box 22 to convey the heat sink. Then, through the second rack 235, the driving gear 232, the transmission shaft 231, the driven gear 233 and the first rack 234, the baffle 222 at the bottom of the feeding box 22 is reset, and the discharge port 221 of the feeding box 22 is closed.

[0052] S5, Welding stage: When the movable plate 211 carrying the heat sink moves between the two side plates, the motor 216 is stopped, and the cylinder 33 and the welding robot arm 35 are started to weld the heat sink and the side plates to form a heat sink.

[0053] S6. Discharge stage: After the radiator welding is completed, the motor 216 is restarted to rotate forward. The movable plate 211 carries the radiator to the end of the slide rail 5 and stops. The radiator moves along the guide rail 6 and gradually separates from the placement slot 212. The radiator is pushed onto the guide rail 6 for storage. Then the motor 216 is restarted to rotate in reverse, so that the movable plate 211 moves to the bottom of the feeding box 22 for the next material retrieval.
