DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The above and other technical features and advantages of the present application will be made more apparent by the following detailed description of the application, given in connection with the attached drawings.
[0031] The application provides a technical solution: a precision assembly device for heat pipes of spacecraft, as shown in Figures 1-6 A precision assembly device for heat pipes of spacecraft, characterized in that it comprises a main work conveying frame 1, a pipe assembly mechanism 3, a mechanical arm 4 and a clamping mechanism 5, the main work conveying frame 1 conveying heat sink plates connected and installed with heat pipes, a heat pipe conveying frame 2 is arranged at the rear of the main work conveying frame 1, the heat pipe conveying frame 2 is used to convey heat pipes to the assembly clamping area, the pipe assembly mechanism 3 is arranged outside the main work conveying frame 1, and the pipe assembly mechanism 3 is used to screw connect the heat pipes and the corresponding connecting parts of the heat sink plates.
[0032] As Figures 1-6As shown, the clamping mechanism 5 is arranged at one end of the mechanical arm 4, the mechanical arm 4 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to change the clamping angle and position, the mechanical arm 4 is arranged between the main work conveying frame 1 and the heat pipe conveying frame 2 at a similar angle, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped mounting frame 51, a connecting frame is fixed above the U-shaped mounting frame 51, the U-shaped mounting frame 51 is fixedly connected with one end of the mechanical arm 4 through the connecting frame, and the clamping mechanism 5 further includes a wrapping part, the wrapping part includes an inflation part 52 arranged above the U-shaped mounting frame 51 and two wrapping clamping air bags 53 arranged inside the U-shaped mounting frame 51, the inflation part 52 is used to inflate the inside of the wrapping clamping air bag 53, so that the wrapping clamping air bag 53 can wrap and clamp the heat pipe.
[0033] As shown, Figures 1-6 The wrapping clamping air bag 53 includes a shaping plate 531, the shape and size of the shaping plate 531 are adapted to the inside of the U-shaped mounting frame 51, one side of the shaping plate 531 is fixedly connected with an air bag 532, the outside of the air bag 532 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid points 533, the air bag 532 is inflated to wrap the heat pipe, and the anti-skid points 533 help the air bag 532 to stick and clamp the heat pipe, so as to avoid the heat pipe from sliding in the air bag 532, affecting the later assembly effect and efficiency, and causing the heat pipe to be not good and to be aligned with the corresponding position. The inflation part 52 includes a bidirectional air pump 521 fixedly arranged inside the connecting frame, a PLC controller 522 arranged on one side of the U-shaped mounting frame 51, a pressure sensor 523 arranged outside the air bag 532, and an electromagnetic pressure relief valve 524 arranged above the air bag 532. The pressure threshold of the pressure sensor 523 is set in advance, and when the appropriate threshold is reached, the heat pipe is appropriately supported, and the pressure value is closed through the PLC controller 522. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 523 is greater than the threshold after the bidirectional air pump 521 is closed, a signal is sent to the PLC controller 522, and the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 524 is opened to discharge the excess gas in the air bag 532. The bidirectional air pump 521 can inflate the air bag 532 and also can exhaust the gas filled in the air bag 532. The outlet end of the bidirectional air pump 521 is fixedly connected with a U-shaped air pipe 525, the two ends of the U-shaped air pipe 525 are arranged on the two sides of the U-shaped mounting frame 51, and one side of the U-shaped mounting frame 51 is fixedly connected with an alarm 514. The alarm 514 is used to timely remind the replacement of the air bag 532. The condition for starting the alarm 514 is that when the bidirectional air pump 521 is started, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 523 is still lower than the minimum threshold within a certain time, and then the alarm 514 is started to emit a sound, so as to timely check whether the air bag 532 leaks due to damage and aging, or whether the bidirectional air pump 521 has a problem, so as to be timely repaired and replaced.
[0034] The clamping mechanism 5 is sent to the position of the heat pipe by the mechanical arm 4, so that the heat pipe is between the two air bags 532, and then external air is sucked into the U-shaped air pipe 525 by the bidirectional air pump 521, the airflow will pass into the air bag 532 to inflate the air bag 532, and the air bag 532 will be wrapped outside the heat pipe. It can be applied to heat pipes of various shapes, can grab special-shaped pipes, ensures the close fit of the heat pipe and the clamping part, and can avoid deformation and indentation of the heat pipe. When inflating the air bag 532, the pressure sensor 523 will detect the pressure value in the air bag 532 in real time. When the specified pressure threshold of the heat pipe is reached, the bidirectional air pump 521 can be closed by the PLC controller 522. If the pressure value is still higher than the set threshold after closing, the electromagnetic relief valve 524 can be opened by the PLC controller 522 to discharge some of the gas inside the air bag 532 to prevent overpressure. The electromagnetic relief valve 524 is closed when the pressure value in the air bag 532 reaches the appropriate threshold. When the air bag 532 is wrapped outside the heat pipe, the anti-skid points 533 on the outer surface of the air bag 532 will provide friction and clamping stability between the heat pipe and the air bag 532, preventing the heat pipe from sliding and shifting in the air bag 532, affecting the assembly effect and efficiency of the heat pipe later, causing the heat pipe to be difficult to assemble and the assembly position to be misaligned. The clamping and wrapping force of the air bag 532 can provide uniform clamping force to prevent the heat pipe from deforming due to uneven stress and ensure the assembly accuracy of the heat pipe. Rapid clamping is achieved by inflation. When the heat pipe needs to be released, it can be easily released by releasing the gas, which is simple to operate.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1-6 The clamping mechanism 5 also includes two limiting retraction members, which are respectively arranged outside the wrapping and clamping air bag 53. The limiting retraction member is used to limit the position of the wrapping and clamping air bag 53 after retraction, so as to prevent the air bag 532 from falling due to gravity when retracted. When the air bag 532 is moved above the heat pipe conveying frame 2 to clamp the heat pipe later, the clamping effect and efficiency are affected because the falling air bag 532 is stacked on the heat pipe conveying frame 2. The limiting retraction member includes a plurality of limiting rods 54 fixed outside the wrapping and clamping air bag 532 and a plurality of limiting rings 55 fixed outside the U-shaped mounting frame 51. The number of limiting rods 54 can be set according to the specific size of the air bag 532, wherein the two outermost limiting rods 54 are arranged near the upper and lower edges of the air bag 532. The plurality of limiting rods 54 are respectively arranged inside the plurality of limiting rings 55, and one end of the plurality of limiting rods 54 is connected to the outside of the air bag 532 by an elastic material.
[0036] When the heat pipe needs to be released, the bidirectional air pump 521 will extract the gas in the air bag 532, and when the air bag 532 retracts, it will retract under the guidance of the limiting rod 54 and the limiting ring 55 towards the direction of the shaping plate 531, avoiding the air bag 532 from sagging due to gravity, which will cover the heat pipe when the air bag 532 is above the heat pipe conveying frame 2, thereby affecting the clamping work of the heat pipe.
[0037] As shown in Figures 1-6 , the U-shaped mounting bracket 51 is provided with a plug-in slot 56 on both sides, which corresponds to the middle part of the shaping plate 531, and the clamping mechanism 5 further comprises two sealing members respectively arranged on one side of the wrapping clamping air bag 53, which are used to seal the connection between the inflator 52 and the wrapping clamping air bag 53, avoiding the influence of air flow on the inflation efficiency of the air bag 532, the sealing member comprises a plug-in pipe 515 fixed on one side of the shaping plate 531 and a shunt connecting pipe 57 arranged inside the plug-in slot 56, the shunt connecting pipe 57 is fixed to the inner side of the U-shaped air pipe 525 through a plurality of connecting strips, the inner surface of the plug-in pipe 515 is provided with a sealing groove 58, and the inner surface of the sealing groove 58 is provided with a rubber layer, the inside of the shunt connecting pipe 57 is provided with a blowing groove 59, and the length of the shunt connecting pipe 57 can be set as desired, as shown in Figure 5 , the length of the shunt connecting pipe 57 is shorter than the general size of the U-shaped air pipe 525, and Figure 5 , the length of the shunt connecting pipe 57 can be set to half of the length of the U-shaped air pipe 525, the shunt connecting pipe 57 is used to shunt the airflow in the U-shaped air pipe 525, so that the airflow is introduced into the blowing groove 59, and the shunt connecting pipe 57 is provided with a hollow sealing ring 510 which is in communication with the blowing groove 59.
[0038] When the bidirectional air pump 521 inflates the air bag 532, the airflow will be shunted through the shunt connecting pipe 57, and the airflow between the shunt connecting pipe 57 and the U-shaped air pipe 525 will enter the hollow sealing ring 510 through the blowing groove 59, so that the hollow sealing ring 510 expands and tightly fits in the sealing groove 58, ensuring the sealing effect between the air bag 532 and the inflator 52, avoiding air leakage between them affecting the clamping efficiency and effect.
[0039] As shown in Figures 1-6As shown, two clamping grooves 511 are formed on both sides of the U-shaped mounting frame 51, and the insertion groove 56 is arranged between the two clamping grooves 511. The clamping mechanism 5 further comprises two clamping members arranged on one side of the two wrapping clamping air bags 53. The clamping members are used to connect the wrapping clamping air bags 53 and the U-shaped mounting frame 51, so that the air bags 53 can be quickly replaced after damage, reducing the difficulty and time required for maintenance. The clamping member comprises two threaded columns 512 fixed to one side of the shaping plate 531 and two internally threaded sleeves 513 threadedly connected to the outside of the two threaded columns 512. The two internally threaded sleeves 513 are respectively slid on the inner side of the two clamping grooves 511, and the outside of the two internally threaded sleeves 513 is provided with an anti-skid groove.
[0040] When the air bag 532 is damaged, the internally threaded sleeve 513 can be rotated to be unscrewed from the threaded column 512, so that the air bag 532 can be detached from the U-shaped mounting frame 51. The corresponding two threaded columns 512 of the air bag 532 are inserted into the clamping groove 511, and the internally threaded sleeve 513 is screwed onto the threaded column 512 from the other end of the clamping groove 511. The air bag 532 can be conveniently and quickly replaced, and the maintenance time is short.

[0042] Step one: the heat sink is placed on the main work conveying frame 1, and the heat pipe is placed on the heat pipe conveying frame 2. When the two are conveyed, the clamping mechanism 5 is driven by the mechanical arm 4 to move to the corresponding position of the heat pipe. The bi-directional air pump 521 in the clamping mechanism 5 fills the air bag 532 with air to wrap the heat pipe, so that the special-shaped heat pipe can be gripped and stably clamped by the anti-skid point 533.
[0043] Step two: when the air bag 532 is inflated, the pressure sensor 523 detects the pressure value in the air bag 532 in real time. When the specified pressure threshold that the heat pipe can withstand is reached, the bi-directional air pump 521 can be turned off by the PLC controller 522. If the pressure value is higher than the set threshold, the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 524 can be opened by the PLC controller 522 to release the air, so as to prevent overpressure.
[0044] Step three: when the bi-directional air pump 521 pumps out the gas in the air bag 532, the air bag 532 can be retracted towards the shaping plate 531 under the guidance of the limiting rod 54 and the limiting ring 55, so as to avoid the air bag 532 from falling down due to gravity, which may cover the heat pipe when the air bag 532 is above the heat pipe conveying frame 2, affecting the clamping work of the heat pipe.
[0045] Step four: when the bidirectional air pump 521 inflates the air bag 532, the air flow will be shunted to the shunt connecting pipe 57 and the U-shaped air pipe 525 through the shunt connecting pipe 57, and the air flow will enter the hollow sealing ring 510 through the air supply groove 59, so that the hollow sealing ring 510 tightly fits in the sealing groove 58, and the sealing effect between the air bag 532 and the inflatable part 52 is ensured.
