[0002] In the heat sink manufacturing process, the spraying link is crucial. Traditional spraying processes often rely on manual experience and intuitive judgment, making it difficult to ensure uniformity and accuracy of spraying, thereby affecting the heat dissipation efficiency and service life of the heat sink.
[0003] To solve this technical problem, some existing heat sink spraying processes use fixed path or preset parameter spraying methods, but shape differences or installation deviations of heat sink workpieces can easily lead to uneven spraying coverage. For example, patent application No. CN202222952037.7 discloses a heat sink sheet surface spraying device, which works as follows: when spraying the heat sink sheet, the heat sink sheet is placed between two groups of fixed plates on the surface of two connecting plates 6, then the electromagnetic valves of the gas cylinders connected to the air guide pipes are connected to the power supply, the moving ends of the gas cylinders drive the second connecting seats to move, the second connecting seats drive the clamping plates to move, the clamping plates rotate around the third connecting seat, the two groups of clamping plates rotate relative to each other, the heat sink sheet is clamped between the two groups of fixed plates, the heat sink sheet is fixed, then the spraying machine is connected to the power supply, the coating is sprayed onto the surface of the heat sink sheet through the nozzle, the sliding block drives the nozzle to move through the control of the electric sliding rail, the heat sink sheet is sprayed, when the heat sink sheet needs to be rotated, the motor is connected to the power supply, the output shaft of the motor drives the second gear to rotate, the second gear drives the first gear to rotate through the external teeth, the first gear drives one of the movable shafts to rotate, the movable shaft drives the clamping plate to rotate through the connecting plate, the clamping plate drives the heat sink sheet to rotate, then the surface of the heat sink sheet is continuously sprayed. However, the heat sink sheet surface spraying device places the heat sink sheet between two groups of fixed plates on the surface of two connecting plates, uses a fixed path or preset parameter spraying method to spray the heat sink sheet, and uneven spraying coverage is prone to occur for heat sink sheets with shape differences or installation deviations, which is not conducive to high-quality production of heat sink sheets.

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 A heat sink workpiece spraying process is realized by a workpiece spraying system. The workpiece spraying system comprises a spraying control system, a first workpiece conveying line, a second workpiece conveying line, a grating detection module, a wireless communication module, and a spraying gun lifting reciprocating machine for lifting and moving to adjust the position of the spraying gun row in the up-down direction. The first workpiece conveying line conveys the heat sink workpiece through the data acquisition area, and the second workpiece conveying line conveys the heat sink workpiece through the spraying area. The grating detection module is wirelessly connected to the spraying control system through the wireless communication module. The spraying control system is electrically connected to the first workpiece conveying line, the second workpiece conveying line, and the spraying gun lifting reciprocating machine. The spraying gun row is composed of several spraying guns arranged horizontally and installed on the spraying gun lifting reciprocating machine. The heat sink workpiece spraying process comprises the following steps:
[0044] Step one, initial position triggering detection of the workpiece;
[0045] The heat sink workpiece is controlled to move to the initial position of the data acquisition area, triggering the grating detection module to start detection. The length of the data acquisition area is 200-3500mm, preferably 2000mm; the height is 300-4200mm, preferably 3200mm. This step design ensures accurate positioning of the workpiece before spraying, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent steps.
[0046] Step two, data acquisition;
[0047] The grating detection module receives the horizontal data, vertical data, and heat sink workpiece shape in the data acquisition area; wherein the data acquisition area is denoted as SA. As shown in Figure 1 The horizontal data includes the length of the blank area in front of the grating, the length of the workpiece entity, and the length of the blank area behind the grating, denoted as L1, L2, and L3 respectively; the vertical data includes the height of the blank area above the grating, the height of the workpiece entity, and the height of the blank area below the grating, denoted as H1, H2, and H3 respectively. In this step design, the grating detection module starts to work, collects the horizontal data, vertical data, and heat sink workpiece shape in the data acquisition area, and then feeds back to the spraying control system. The horizontal data and vertical data can provide accurate basis for subsequent parameter calculation.
[0048] Step three, parameter calculation and determination;
[0049] The spraying area is determined according to the transverse data, the vertical data and the shape of the heat sink workpiece, and the movement parameters of the heat sink workpiece in the spraying area, and the spraying parameters of the spray gun are calculated. This step is the key to ensure the accuracy of spraying.
[0050] The spraying area is specifically: when the distance from the front end of the heat sink workpiece to the center axis of the last end of the spray gun is equal to the length of the front blank area of the grating, the data acquisition area is mirror replaced into the spraying area; wherein the spraying area is denoted as SB, as shown in Figures 3-5 The design of the spraying area is beneficial to the accurate spraying of different shapes of heat sink workpieces by the spray gun row group, has a wide range of application, reduces the waste of paint, uniformly sprays the heat sink workpiece, reduces the production cost, and the automatic spraying process reduces the manual operation, shortens the production cycle, and improves the overall production efficiency.
[0051] The movement parameters of the heat sink workpiece in the spraying area include the movement speed v1 corresponding to the length of the front blank area of the grating, the movement speed v2 corresponding to the length of the workpiece entity, and the movement speed v3 corresponding to the length of the rear blank area of the grating, and the movement speed v1, the movement speed v2 and the movement speed v3 are limited in a set range, that is, the movement speed v1 is 1.0-3.0 m / min; the movement speed v2 is 0.1-0.5 m / min; and the movement speed v3 is 1.0-3.0 m / min.
[0052] In addition, the spraying parameters calculated by the spray gun include the number of spray gun rows required to work and the corresponding positions, the stroke of the up and down movement of the spray gun row group, the initial position of the spray gun row group for spraying;
[0053] Specifically, the number of spray gun rows required to work and the corresponding positions are determined according to the height of the blank area on the grating, the height of the workpiece entity, the height of the blank area below the grating, the distance between the adjacent upper and lower two rows of spray gun rows, and the spraying coverage interval of the adjacent upper and lower two rows of spray gun rows; the stroke of the up and down movement of the spray gun row group is determined according to the height of the workpiece entity and the number of times of set up and down reciprocating spraying; and the initial position of the spray gun row group for spraying is determined according to the front end position of the length of the workpiece entity.
[0054] The initial position of the spray gun row group for spraying is determined according to the front end position of the length of the workpiece entity. Referring to the shape of the heat sink workpiece, when the heat sink workpiece moves in the direction of the movement speed v1, the moving distance is the length of the front blank area of the grating, and reaches the center axis position of the last end of the spray gun, that is, the front end of the heat sink workpiece coincides with the center axis of the last end of the spray gun, which is the initial position of the spray gun row group for spraying.
[0055] The spray gun setting spraying parameters include total number of spray gun row groups, spraying coverage interval of adjacent upper and lower two rows of spray gun row groups, distance of nozzle of spray gun naturally perpendicular to radiator workpiece, moving speed of spray gun row groups up and down, nozzle diameter of spray gun, powder output speed of spray gun, pitch angle of spray gun, and atomization pressure of spray gun. Specifically, the total number of spray gun row groups can be 6-10 rows, and of course the total number of spray gun row groups can be reasonably set according to requirements; the spraying coverage interval of adjacent upper and lower two rows of spray gun row groups is 0-50 mm; the distance of nozzle of spray gun naturally perpendicular to radiator workpiece is 100-250 mm. As for the nozzle diameter of spray gun, the powder output speed of spray gun, the pitch angle of spray gun, and the atomization pressure of spray gun, they are reasonably set according to requirements, which is the same as the existing conventional technology.
[0056] Step four, automatic spraying implementation;
[0057] The radiator workpiece is controlled to move in the spraying area according to the determined moving parameters, and the spray gun row groups are controlled to move up and down on the radiator workpiece according to the spray gun setting spraying parameters and the above-mentioned spray gun calculated spraying parameters; the specific steps are as follows:
[0058] S1. When the distance from the front end of the radiator workpiece to the center axis of the last end of the spray gun is equal to the length of the front blank area of the grating, the radiator workpiece is controlled to move at a moving speed v1, and the moving distance is the length of the front blank area of the grating, to reach the center axis position of the last end of the spray gun;
[0059] S2. The radiator workpiece is controlled to move at a moving speed v2, and the moving distance is the length of the workpiece entity, and the spray gun row groups are controlled to move up and down on the radiator workpiece according to the setting spraying parameters and the above-mentioned spray gun calculated spraying parameters;
[0060] S3. When the radiator workpiece reaches the front end of the workpiece entity length, the spray gun row groups are controlled to stop spraying, and the radiator workpiece is controlled to move at a moving speed v3, and the moving distance is the length of the rear blank area of the grating, to move out of the spraying area.
[0061] After the moving parameters and the spray gun calculated spraying parameters are determined, the spraying control system controls the radiator workpiece to move in the spraying area according to the preset trajectory, and controls the spray gun row groups to spray according to the calculated spraying parameters. The whole process is highly automated and does not require manual intervention, greatly improving the spraying efficiency and consistency.
[0062] Step five, spraying end and subsequent processing.
[0063] Specifically, when the end of the radiator workpiece leaves the spraying area, the spray guns of the spray gun row groups are in a spraying closed state at this time, the spraying is ended, and subsequent surface inspection, manual supplementary spraying, manual cooling and quality evaluation processing of the radiator workpiece are performed.
[0064] Preferably, the moving speed v1 is the same as the moving speed v3. The moving speed v1 and the moving speed v3 are moving speeds when non-spraying, and can be set to the same speed according to requirements.
[0065] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a heat sink workpiece spraying process, which sequentially passes through the steps of workpiece initial position trigger detection, data acquisition, parameter calculation and determination, automatic spraying implementation, and spraying end and subsequent processing. The grating module is used to realize accurate measurement of the heat sink workpiece, to provide a reliable basis for determination of the spraying parameters. Then, the automatic spraying technology is used to optimize the spraying route, to accurately spray heat sink workpieces of different shapes, to have a wide range of applications, to reduce waste of paint, to uniformly spray the heat sink workpiece, to reduce production cost, and to reduce manual operation in the automatic spraying process, to shorten the production cycle, and to improve the overall production efficiency.
[0066] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and replacements should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
