Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of isothermal plate production, and in particular to a saucer-shaped bakelite tray and isothermal plate assembly equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, ultra-thin vapor chambers occupy a crucial position in the field of electronic device heat dissipation due to their excellent thermal conductivity. As electronic products continue to evolve towards miniaturization and high performance, the market demand for ultra-thin vapor chambers is experiencing explosive growth. This trend not only drives innovation in electronic device heat dissipation technology but also places higher demands on the production and assembly technologies of ultra-thin vapor chambers. Efficient and stable production processes can ensure the heat dissipation performance of electronic devices, improve their overall stability and reliability, and thus promote the vigorous development of the entire electronics industry. At the same time, advancements in production technology also help reduce production costs, enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the industry.
[0003] In related technologies, the industry mainly uses the following conventional methods for loading, unloading, handling, and assembling ultra-thin heat spreaders. One method is manual placement and handling, where operators need to pick up and place products one by one. This method requires workers to perform repetitive and monotonous actions for extended periods, resulting in extremely high labor intensity. Furthermore, the limited speed of manual operation leads to low production efficiency. Another method is using ordinary trays in conjunction with simple robotic arms for transfer. Ordinary trays are not designed to account for the unique shape of ultra-thin heat spreaders with their cylindrical water inlet protrusions. This makes it impossible to achieve stable and precise baseline positioning of the heat spreader on a flat surface or simple tray. During automated high-speed handling, the heat spreader is prone to changes in posture, displacement, or even falling, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the product defect rate.
[0004] Therefore, there is a problem of difficulty in balancing production efficiency and product yield, and there is an urgent need for a flying saucer-shaped bakelite tray and isothermal plate assembly equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve both production efficiency and product yield, this application provides a flying saucer-shaped bakelite tray and isothermal plate assembly equipment.
[0006] Firstly, this application provides a flying saucer-shaped bakelite tray, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A UFO-shaped bakelite tray includes: a tray body, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of slots, the plurality of slots being arranged around the tray body, the inner wall of which is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing slots at intervals, the plurality of weight-reducing slots being divided into two groups, the two groups of weight-reducing slots being arranged opposite to and staggered, the slots being adapted to a heat spreader, the slots being used to accommodate and position the heat spreader, and the heat spreader having a protruding end extending to the outside of the tray body.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple slots for accommodating heat spreaders are arranged around the surface of the tray body. These slots can accommodate and position the heat spreaders, allowing them to be neatly and orderly arranged on the tray. This enables the material handling function of batch-arranging ultra-thin heat spreaders. Simultaneously, the slots allow the protruding end of the heat spreader to extend to the outside of the tray, avoiding interference between the protrusion and the tray and ensuring the stability of the heat spreader placement. Furthermore, two sets of opposing and staggered weight-reducing slots spaced at intervals on the inner wall of the slots reduce the weight of the tray, facilitating handling and operation. They also reduce the contact area between the slots and the heat spreaders, effectively preventing product scratches and facilitating product placement and equipment loading / unloading. In addition, this design allows the tray to be used as a jig for loading / unloading automated equipment, improving production efficiency and product yield.
[0009] Optionally, the main body of the material tray is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, which are arranged around the main body of the material tray. The positioning holes are arranged one-to-one with the slots, and the positioning holes are used to achieve precise positioning of the heat spreader in the slots.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple positioning holes corresponding to slots are arranged around the main body of the material tray, which can realize the precise positioning of the slots and ensure that the equipment can accurately identify the slot position for loading and unloading, so as to identify the position of the heat exchange plate and improve the efficiency of automated loading, unloading, handling and assembly of ultra-thin heat exchange plates.
[0011] Optionally, the main body of the material tray includes a base and multiple fan-shaped sub-discs detachably disposed on the base. The multiple fan-shaped sub-discs are arranged in a ring. The slots and the weight-reducing slots are respectively opened on the fan-shaped sub-discs, and each fan-shaped sub-disc corresponds to multiple slots. The fan-shaped sub-discs are used to drive the temperature equalization plate to move.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the material tray consists of a base and multiple detachable sector-shaped sub-trays arranged in a ring. Since slots and weight-reducing grooves are located on the sector-shaped sub-trays, and each sector-shaped sub-tray corresponds to multiple slots, each sector-shaped sub-tray can individually accommodate and position the heat spreader. When the heat spreader needs to be moved, the sector-shaped sub-trays can be easily detached from the base and moved independently, avoiding the inconvenience that may occur when moving the entire material tray. At the same time, this detachable design also facilitates the replacement, repair, or cleaning of the sector-shaped sub-trays, improving the flexibility of use and ease of maintenance of the material tray.
[0013] Secondly, this application provides a temperature distribution plate assembly device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0014] A temperature-sensing plate assembly device includes the aforementioned saucer-shaped bakelite tray, and further includes:
[0015] The frame and the material tray rotation mechanism, the first feeding mechanism, the assembly rotation mechanism, the second feeding mechanism, the glue injection and curing mechanism and the unloading mechanism respectively installed on the frame;
[0016] The material tray rotation mechanism, the assembly rotation mechanism, the glue injection and curing mechanism, and the unloading mechanism are arranged sequentially. The first loading mechanism, the second loading mechanism, and the glue injection and curing mechanism are arranged around the assembly rotation mechanism. The first loading mechanism is located between the material tray rotation mechanism and the assembly rotation mechanism, and the glue injection and curing mechanism is located between the assembly rotation mechanism and the unloading mechanism.
[0017] The tray rotation mechanism is used to place multiple tray bodies. The first feeding mechanism is used to transfer the heat spreader plate on the tray body to the assembly rotation mechanism. The second feeding mechanism is used to transfer the copper tube and assemble the copper tube with the heat spreader plate. The glue injection and curing mechanism is used to inject glue at the assembly point of the copper tube and the heat spreader plate and cure the glue. The unloading mechanism is used to unload the assembled heat spreader plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray rotation mechanism can hold multiple tray bodies with heat spreaders. The first feeding mechanism can transfer the heat spreaders on the tray bodies to the assembly rotation mechanism, allowing the heat spreaders to smoothly enter the assembly process. The second feeding mechanism transfers the copper tubes and assembles them with the heat spreaders, realizing automated assembly of the heat spreaders and copper tubes. The glue injection and curing mechanism injects and cures glue at the assembly points, ensuring the stability and reliability of the assembly. The unloading mechanism unloads the assembled heat spreaders, completing the entire production process. This integrated design avoids the problems of single-function equipment and fragmented production line processes in existing equipment, realizing automated continuous production, significantly improving production efficiency, while reducing manual operation and lowering the risk of product damage.
[0019] Optionally, the first feeding mechanism includes a first picking component, a first transfer component, and a first discharging component respectively disposed on the frame. The first transfer component is disposed between the first picking component and the first discharging component. The first picking component is used to transfer the temperature equalization plate on the main body of the material tray to the first transfer component. The first transfer component is used to adjust the posture of the temperature equalization plate so that when the first discharging component places the temperature equalization plate on the assembly rotation mechanism, the end of the temperature equalization plate with a protrusion faces the outside of the assembly rotation mechanism.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the first material handling component transfers the heat spreader plate on the main body of the tray to the first transfer component. Since the first transfer component can adjust the orientation of the heat spreader plate, when the first material unloading component places the heat spreader plate on the assembly rotating mechanism, the protruding end of the heat spreader plate faces outwards towards the assembly rotating mechanism. This design avoids interference or obstruction caused by the protruding part during subsequent assembly, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the heat spreader plate's placement on the assembly rotating mechanism. This facilitates smooth assembly with components such as copper pipes and improves the efficiency and quality of heat spreader plate assembly.
[0021] Optionally, the first transfer component includes a linear drive, a rotary drive, and a transfer seat. The linear drive is disposed on the frame and located between the first material handling component and the first material discharging component. The rotary drive is disposed on the linear drive and the transfer seat is disposed on the rotary drive. A plurality of adjusting blocks are movably disposed on the transfer seat, and the plurality of adjusting blocks enclose a placement area. The placement area is adapted to the shape of the temperature equalization plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the linear drive component is mounted on the frame and located between the first material handling component and the first material dispensing component, enabling linear movement of the transfer seat between the two, facilitating the transfer of the heat spreader plate. The rotary drive component, mounted on the linear drive component, can rotate the transfer seat, thereby adjusting the posture of the heat spreader plate. Several adjustable blocks movably mounted on the transfer seat form a placement area adapted to the shape of the heat spreader plate, providing positioning and protection for the plate, ensuring its stability during transfer, and guaranteeing that when the first material dispensing component places the heat spreader plate on the assembly rotating mechanism, the protruding end of the plate faces outwards towards the assembly rotating mechanism, improving the accuracy and stability of the heat spreader plate transfer and assembly.
[0023] Optionally, the second feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder feeding assembly, a feeding drive assembly, a second picking assembly, a second transfer assembly, and a second discharging assembly. The feeding drive assembly is disposed on the frame and located between the vibratory feeder feeding assembly and the assembly rotation mechanism. The second picking assembly and the second discharging assembly are respectively disposed on the feeding drive assembly. The second picking assembly is disposed close to the vibratory feeder feeding assembly. The second transfer assembly is disposed on the frame and located below the second picking assembly. The second picking assembly is used to transfer the copper tube on the vibratory feeder feeding assembly to the second transfer assembly. The second discharging assembly is used to remove the copper tube from the second transfer assembly and assemble it with the heat spreader plate.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibratory feeder assembly can store copper tubes and transport them to the feeding position. The feeding drive assembly provides the motion basis for the second picking assembly and the second unloading assembly, enabling them to move between the vibratory feeder assembly and the assembly rotation mechanism. The second picking assembly, located near the vibratory feeder assembly, can easily transfer the copper tubes from the vibratory feeder assembly to the second transfer assembly located below it, achieving the initial transfer of the copper tubes. The second unloading assembly then removes the copper tubes from the second transfer assembly and assembles them with the heat spreader plate, completing the assembly process between the copper tubes and the heat spreader plate. The entire second feeding mechanism automates the process from copper tube storage to assembly with the heat spreader plate, avoiding the problems of low efficiency and product damage caused by manual operation. It improves the production efficiency and assembly quality of the heat spreader plate assembly equipment. Compared to existing technologies where ordinary trays cannot adapt to heat spreaders with raised shapes, have poor stability, and have limited functionality that prevents automated continuous production, this second feeding mechanism is better suited for automated continuous production of heat spreader plate assembly, increasing production capacity.
[0025] Optionally, the dispensing and curing mechanism includes a material conveying component, a rotary support component, a dispensing component, and a photocuring component sequentially arranged on the frame. The material conveying component, the dispensing component, the photocuring component, and the unloading mechanism are arranged around the rotary support component, and the material conveying component is located between the rotary support component and the assembly rotary mechanism.
[0026] When the material conveying component transfers the assembled heat spreader to the rotating support component, the rotating support component drives the heat spreader to pass sequentially through the glue injection component and the photocuring component and approach the unloading mechanism, which is used to unload the heat spreader after glue injection and curing.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the material conveying component can transfer the assembled heat spreader from the assembly rotation mechanism to the rotation support component. The rotation support component drives the heat spreader to pass through the glue injection component and the photocuring component in sequence. The glue injection component injects glue at the assembly point between the copper tube and the heat spreader, and the photocuring component cures the glue. Finally, it approaches the unloading mechanism, which unloads the heat spreader after glue injection and curing. This realizes the orderly execution of the glue injection and curing processes, improves the automation level and production efficiency of heat spreader assembly, ensures the stability of product quality, and avoids the errors and inefficiencies that may be caused by manual operation.
[0028] Optionally, the rotating support assembly includes a third motor, a turntable, and four upright plates. The third motor is mounted on the frame, and the turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor. The four upright plates are evenly arranged on the turntable around its axis, and each upright plate is provided with a vacuum suction cup on its side near the center of the turntable. The vacuum suction cup is used to adsorb the temperature equalization plate.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the third motor is mounted on the frame and fixedly connected to the output end of the turntable, driving the turntable to rotate stably. Four upright plates are evenly arranged around the turntable axis, ensuring a more uniform and balanced distribution of the heat spreader plates during rotation. Vacuum suction cups located on the upright plates near the center of the turntable can hold the heat spreader plates, ensuring they are stably fixed during turntable rotation and preventing them from shaking, shifting, or falling. The rotating support assembly drives the heat spreader plates sequentially through the glue injection assembly and the photocuring assembly, realizing the glue injection and curing process at the assembly point of the copper tube and the heat spreader plate. This provides stable and orderly operating conditions for the subsequent unloading mechanism to unload the glued and cured heat spreader plates, improving the overall operational stability and assembly efficiency of the heat spreader plate assembly equipment.
[0030] Optionally, it also includes a static elimination mechanism, which is connected to the tray body, the tray rotation mechanism, the assembly rotation mechanism and the glue injection curing mechanism, respectively, and is used to eliminate static electricity.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, during the assembly process of the heat spreader, components such as the tray body, tray rotation mechanism, assembly rotation mechanism, and glue injection and curing mechanism will generate static electricity during operation and material transfer. This static electricity may attract dust and impurities onto the heat spreader and other components, affecting the assembly quality and performance of the product. It may also damage the product due to the energy generated by electrostatic discharge, potentially harming internal electronic components. The static electricity elimination mechanism, connected to the tray body, tray rotation mechanism, assembly rotation mechanism, and glue injection and curing mechanism, can promptly eliminate the static electricity generated by these components. This avoids the impact of static electricity attracting dust and impurities on the product assembly quality and prevents damage to electronic components caused by electrostatic discharge. Therefore, it improves the assembly quality and yield of the heat spreader and ensures the stability and reliability of the entire assembly process.
[0032] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0033] 1. The UFO-shaped bakelite tray can neatly arrange temperature equalization plates in batches and can also be used as a fixture for loading and unloading automated equipment. It solves the problems of traditional stacking methods being unsuitable, manual handling, or low efficiency of segmented processing by single equipment, thus improving both production efficiency and product yield.
[0034] 2. By integrating the material tray rotation mechanism, the first feeding mechanism, the assembly rotation mechanism, the second feeding mechanism, the glue injection and curing mechanism, and the unloading mechanism, the problems of single function and fragmented production line process of existing equipment are avoided, realizing automated continuous production, significantly improving production efficiency, while reducing manual operation and reducing the risk of product damage.
[0035] 3. The static elimination mechanism effectively eliminates static electricity generated during equipment operation, avoiding the impact of static electricity on product assembly quality due to the adsorption of dust and impurities, and preventing damage to electronic components caused by electrostatic discharge. This improves the assembly quality and yield of the heat spreader, and ensures the stability and reliability of the entire assembly process. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 10 This application will be described in further detail.
[0049] This application discloses a flying saucer-shaped bakelite tray.
[0050] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0051] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A UFO-shaped bakelite tray includes a tray body 1. The surface of the tray body 1 is provided with a plurality of slots 11 for fixing a heat spreader 12. The slots 11 are arranged radially along the tray body 1. The plurality of slots 11 are evenly distributed around the axis of the tray body 1, so that a plurality of heat spreaders 12 can be placed on a tray body 1. When the heat spreader 12 is inserted into the slot 11, the end of the heat spreader 12 with a protrusion extends to the outside of the tray body 1.
[0052] The main body of the tray 1 is circular in shape, and the circumferential sidewalls of the main body of the tray 1 are designed in a stepped shape, resembling a flying saucer, hence it is called a flying saucer tray. In this embodiment, the main body of the tray 1 is made of 25mm thick bakelite (phenolic plastic). Bakelite material has advantages such as excellent insulation properties, good heat resistance, high mechanical strength, strong chemical corrosion resistance, and unique appearance and texture.
[0053] The bottom of the material tray body 1 has two insertion holes to facilitate connection between the material tray body 1 and subsequent drive equipment, thereby enabling the drive of the material tray body 1. The material tray body 1 is also equipped with a handle for easy handling by the operator.
[0054] The shape and size of the slot 11 are designed according to the external shape of the heat spreader 12 to ensure that the heat spreader 12 will not tip over after being inserted and that there will be no interference between the heat spreaders 12. In this embodiment, the length, width and height of the slot 11 are 70mm, 0.7mm and 15mm respectively, and the number of heat spreaders 12 is designed to be 90 pieces according to the size of the heat spreader 12.
[0055] The inner wall of the slot 11 is provided with multiple weight-reducing slots 13 at intervals. The multiple weight-reducing slots 13 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of weight-reducing slots 13 are arranged opposite each other and staggered. The weight-reducing slots 13 not only reduce the weight of the tray body 1, but also reduce the contact area between the slot 11 and the heat spreader 12, thus avoiding scratching the product.
[0056] The main body 1 of the material tray has multiple positioning holes 14, which are arranged around the main body 1. The number of positioning holes 14 is the same as that of the slots 11, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The positioning holes 14 are used to achieve precise positioning of the heat spreader 12. In this embodiment, the positioning holes 14 are located on the extension line of the slots 11 along their own length direction.
[0057] Example 2: Refer to Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that the main body of the tray 1 includes a base 15 and a plurality of fan-shaped sub-trays 16 that are detachably mounted on the base 15.
[0058] The base 15 is circular in shape, providing good stability. Multiple sector-shaped sub-plates 16 are arranged in a ring on the base 15, and both the base 15 and the sector-shaped sub-plates 16 are made of bakelite material. The replaceable design facilitates adjustment according to different sizes of the heat spreader 12. For example, when producing heat spreaders 12 of different specifications, only the sector-shaped sub-plates 16 of the corresponding size need to be replaced.
[0059] Positioning holes 14 are provided on the chassis 15, and slots 11 and weight-reducing slots 13 are respectively provided on the sector-shaped sub-discs 16, with each sector-shaped sub-disc 16 corresponding to multiple slots 11. In this embodiment, a snap-fit hole is provided at the bottom of the sector-shaped sub-disc 16, and a protrusion is provided on the chassis 15. The protrusion can be inserted into the snap-fit hole to realize the installation of the sector-shaped sub-disc 16. An elastic pre-tightening pad is provided between the inner wall of the snap-fit hole and the protrusion to ensure the stability of the sector-shaped sub-disc 16 installed on the chassis 15.
[0060] Example 3: This application also discloses a temperature distribution plate assembly device.
[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A heat spreader assembly device includes a frame 2 and a tray rotation mechanism 3, a first feeding mechanism 4, an assembly rotation mechanism 5, a second feeding mechanism 6, an adhesive injection and curing mechanism 7, and a unloading mechanism 8, all respectively mounted on the frame 2. The tray rotation mechanism 3, assembly rotation mechanism 5, adhesive injection and curing mechanism 7, and unloading mechanism 8 are arranged sequentially. The first feeding mechanism 4, second feeding mechanism 6, and adhesive injection and curing mechanism 7 are arranged around the assembly rotation mechanism 5. The first feeding mechanism 4 is located between the tray rotation mechanism 3 and the assembly rotation mechanism 5, and the adhesive injection and curing mechanism 7 is located between the assembly rotation mechanism 5 and the unloading mechanism 8, thereby realizing an automated continuous production process of the heat spreader 12 from tray loading to completed assembly and unloading. In this embodiment, the tray body 1 from Embodiment 1 is used to support the heat spreader 12.
[0062] Reference Figure 5The material tray rotation mechanism 3 includes a first motor 31, a rotating disk 32, a second motor 33, and a support disk 34. The first motor 31 is mounted on the frame 2, and the rotating disk 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 31.
[0063] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 Three second motors 33 are provided, and the three second motors 33 are evenly distributed on the rotating disk 32 around its axis. The number of carrier disks 34 is equal to the number of second motors 33 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the carrier disks 34 can be driven by the second motors 33. In addition, the carrier disks 34 are provided with two positioning pins 341, which are adapted to the insertion holes on the material tray body 1 to ensure that the carrier disks 34 stably drive the material tray body 1 to rotate.
[0064] When the temperature equalization plate 12 in a material tray body 1 is used up, the first motor 31 drives the rotating disk 32 to rotate, and rotates the next material tray body 1 with the temperature equalization plate 12 to the feeding position to realize continuous feeding.
[0065] In this embodiment, a fiber optic sensor 35 is also provided on the rotating disk 32. The fiber optic sensor 35 is positioned corresponding to the positioning hole 14 and is used to detect the position of the positioning hole 14. When the positioning hole 14 is directly above the fiber optic sensor 35, the light emitted by the fiber optic sensor 35 can pass through the positioning hole 14. When the carrier disk 34 drives the material tray body 1 to rotate, causing the positioning hole 14 to be misaligned with the fiber optic sensor 35, the light emitted by the fiber optic sensor 35 is blocked. This makes it easier to detect the position of the positioning hole 14 using the fiber optic sensor 35, thereby facilitating the precise positioning of the heat exchange plate 12 inside the slot 11.
[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first feeding mechanism 4 includes a first picking component 41, a first transfer component 42, and a first discharging component 43, which are respectively disposed on the frame 2. The first transfer component 42 is disposed between the first picking component 41 and the first discharging component 43. In this embodiment, the first picking component 41 adopts a gripper cylinder, which is used to pick up the heat equalization plate 12 on the material tray body 1 and transfer it to the first transfer component 42.
[0067] Reference Figure 6 The first transfer assembly 42 includes a linear drive 421, a rotary drive 422, and a transfer base 423. The linear drive 421 is mounted on the frame 2 and located between the first material handling assembly 41 and the first material discharging assembly 43. The rotary drive 422 is disposed on the linear drive 421, and the transfer base 423 is mounted on the rotary drive 422. In this embodiment, the linear drive 421 is a linear motor, and the rotary drive 422 is a rotary motor.
[0068] Reference Figure 2 andFigure 6 A plurality of adjusting blocks 4231 are movably disposed on the transfer base 423, and the plurality of adjusting blocks 4231 form a placement area, which is adapted to the shape of the temperature equalization plate 12. In this embodiment, the adjusting blocks 4231 are fixed to the transfer base 423 with bolts, thereby allowing the position of the adjusting blocks 4231 to be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the size and shape of the placement area.
[0069] When the temperature distribution plate 12 is placed in the placement area, the rotating drive component 422 can drive the central rotating seat 423 to rotate, adjusting the posture of the temperature distribution plate 12 so that when the first feeding component 43 places the temperature distribution plate 12 on the assembly rotating mechanism 5, the end of the temperature distribution plate 12 with the protrusion faces the outside of the assembly rotating mechanism 5.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first feeding component 43 is a vacuum suction cup robot arm, which is used to pick up the temperature equalization plate 12 with the adjusted posture from the first transfer component 42 and transfer it to the assembly rotation mechanism 5.
[0071] The assembly rotation mechanism 5 includes a cam divider 51 and four assembly stations 52 disposed on the cam divider 51. The cam divider 51 is mounted on the frame 2, and the four assembly stations 52 are evenly distributed around the axis of the cam divider 51. It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the cam divider 51 are conventional techniques for those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 The first feeding component 43, the second feeding mechanism 6, and the glue injection and curing mechanism 7 are arranged around the cam divider 51, so that the cam divider 51 can drive the assembly station 52 to pass through the first feeding component 43, the second feeding mechanism 6, and the glue injection and curing mechanism 7 in sequence.
[0073] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The assembly station 52 is also equipped with several adjustment blocks 4231, and the adjustment blocks 4231 also form a placement area. The assembly station 52 is also equipped with a guide block 53, which is used to guide the second feeding mechanism 6 to insert the copper tube into the corresponding interface of the heat spreader 12. One end of the heat spreader 12 corresponding to the interface is the end of the heat spreader 12 with the protrusion.
[0074] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the assembly station 52 approaches the first feeding component 43, the first feeding component 43 picks up the heat exchange plate 12 on the transfer seat 423 and transfers it to the assembly station 52. Then the cam divider 51 drives the assembly station 52 to approach the second feeding mechanism 6 to assemble the copper tube.
[0075] Reference Figure 4The second feeding mechanism 6 includes a vibratory feeder feeding assembly 61, a feeding drive assembly 62, a second picking assembly 63, a second transfer assembly 64, and a second unloading assembly 65. The vibratory feeder feeding assembly 61 stores copper tubes and conveys a single copper tube to the feeding position through vibration.
[0076] The feeding drive assembly 62 is mounted on the frame 2 and located between the vibratory feeder assembly 61 and the cam divider 51. The second picking assembly 63 and the second discharging assembly 65 are respectively mounted on the feeding drive assembly 62. The second picking assembly 63 is located close to the vibratory feeder assembly 61. The second transfer assembly 64 is mounted on the frame 2 and located below the second picking assembly 63.
[0077] In this embodiment, the feeding drive component 62 is a linear motor, and the second picking component 63 and the second unloading component 65 are both gripper cylinders, which can be raised and lowered to grip the copper tube and drive it to rise and fall. The feeding drive component 62 can drive the second picking component 63 and the second unloading component 65 to move synchronously, and the second transfer component 64 is used to carry the copper tube.
[0078] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 When it is necessary to assemble the copper tube with the heat spreader 12, the feeding drive assembly 62 drives the second picking assembly 63 and the second discharging assembly 65 to move synchronously, so that the second picking assembly 63 grabs the copper tube on the vibratory feeder feeding assembly 61, and at the same time, the second discharging assembly 65 grabs the copper tube on the second transfer assembly 64. Then, the feeding drive assembly 62 drives the second picking assembly 63 and the second discharging assembly 65 to move in opposite directions, so that the second discharging assembly 65 drives the copper tube to be inserted into the corresponding interface on the heat spreader 12, and the second picking assembly 63 places the next copper tube on the second transfer assembly 64, preparing for the next assembly.
[0079] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 The adhesive dispensing and curing mechanism 7 includes a material conveying component 71, a rotary support component 72, an adhesive dispensing component 73, and a photocuring component 74, which are sequentially arranged on the frame 2. The rotary support component 72 is located on the side of the cam divider 51 away from the first feeding component 43. The material conveying component 71, the adhesive dispensing component 73, the photocuring component 74, and the unloading mechanism 8 are arranged around the rotary support component 72, with the material conveying component 71 located between the rotary support component 72 and the cam divider 51.
[0080] In this embodiment, the material conveying assembly 71 includes a lifting cylinder, a rotating cylinder, and a suction cup. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the frame 2 and located between the rotating support assembly 72 and the cam divider 51. The rotating cylinder is connected to the lifting cylinder, and the suction cup is connected to the rotating cylinder. When the material conveying assembly 71 is working, the lifting cylinder drives the rotating cylinder to lift and lower, and the rotating cylinder drives the suction cup to rotate, so that the suction cup removes the assembled heat spreader 12 from the assembly station 52 and transfers it to the rotating support assembly 72.
[0081] The rotating support assembly 72 includes a third motor 721, a turntable 722, and four upright plates 723. The third motor 721 is mounted on the frame 2. The turntable 722 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 721. The four upright plates 723 are evenly arranged on the turntable 722 around its axis, and each upright plate 723 is provided with a vacuum suction cup 724 on the side closest to the center of the turntable 722.
[0082] The material conveying assembly 71, the glue injection assembly 73, the UV curing assembly 74, and the unloading mechanism 8 are arranged around the turntable 722. When the material conveying assembly 71 attaches the assembled heat spreader 12 to the upright plate 723, the vacuum suction cup 724 adsorbs the heat spreader 12, so that the third motor 721 can drive the heat spreader 12 through the turntable 722 and the upright plate 723 to pass through the glue injection assembly 73, the UV curing assembly 74, and the unloading mechanism 8 in sequence.
[0083] In this embodiment, the glue injection component 73 is a glue injection machine used to inject glue into the corresponding interface of the heat spreader 12, and the light curing component 74 is a light curing mechanism used to cure the glue.
[0084] The unloading mechanism 8 includes an unloading gripper cylinder 81 that can rotate 90°, a linear module 82 for driving the unloading gripper cylinder 81 to move, and an unloading rotation mechanism 83. The linear module 82 is mounted on the frame 2, the unloading gripper cylinder 81 is mounted on the linear module 82, and the unloading rotation mechanism 83 is located below the linear module 82. In this embodiment, the structure of the unloading rotation mechanism 83 is the same as that of the tray rotation mechanism 3, and the tray body 1 can also be placed on the unloading rotation mechanism 83.
[0085] After the heat spreader plate 12 has completed the glue injection and curing, the linear module 82 drives the unloading claw cylinder 81 to move, so that the unloading claw cylinder 81 removes the heat spreader plate 12 from the vertical plate 723 and transfers the heat spreader plate 12 to the material tray body 1 on the unloading rotation mechanism 83.
[0086] The implementation principle of the heat spreader assembly equipment in this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to complete the assembly of the heat spreader 12, the main body 1 of the tray containing the unassembled heat spreader 12 is first placed on the bearing tray 34, and the empty tray main body 1 is placed on the unloading rotation mechanism 83. Then, the first picking component 41 is started, and the first picking component 41 picks up the heat spreader 12. At the same time, the linear drive component 421 drives the intermediate transfer seat 423 to approach the first picking component 41 through the rotation drive component 422. The rotation drive component 422 drives the intermediate transfer seat 423 to rotate so that the position of the placement area is adapted to the heat spreader 12. After the first picking component 41 places the heat spreader 12 in the placement area, it resets. The linear drive component 421 and the rotation drive component 422 work in opposite directions to bring the heat spreader 12 closer to the first unloading component 43. The first unloading component 43 picks up the heat spreader 12 and transfers it to the assembly station 52.
[0087] Next, the cam divider 51 drives the heat exchange plate 12 to move to the second feeding mechanism 6. At this time, the feeding drive assembly 62 drives the second picking assembly 63 and the second discharging assembly 65 to move synchronously, so that the second picking assembly 63 grabs the copper tube on the vibratory feeder feeding assembly 61 and transfers it to the second transfer assembly 64, and the second discharging assembly 65 grabs the copper tube on the second transfer assembly 64 and drives the copper tube to be inserted into the corresponding interface on the heat exchange plate 12.
[0088] Then, the cam divider 51 drives the heat spreader 12 to move, bringing the assembled heat spreader 12 close to the material conveying component 71. The material conveying component 71 picks up the heat spreader 12 and transfers it to the vertical plate 723. At this time, the heat spreader 12 changes from a horizontal to a vertical position and is attracted by the vacuum suction cup 724. Then, the third motor 721 drives the vertical plate 723 to rotate, causing the vertical plate 723 to carry the heat spreader 12 through the glue injection component 73, the photocuring component 74, and the unloading mechanism 8 in sequence. The glue injection component 73 injects glue into the interface between the heat spreader 12 and the copper tube, and the photocuring component 74 cures the glue. Finally, the unloading gripper cylinder 81 removes the heat spreader 12, which has been glued and cured, from the vertical plate 723 and transfers it to the material tray body 1 on the unloading rotation mechanism 83, thus completing the assembly of the heat spreader 12.
[0089] Example 4: Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that it also includes a static electricity elimination mechanism 9, and the material tray body 1 in embodiment 1 is used in this embodiment.
[0090] The static elimination mechanism 9 includes a miniature ionization emitter 91 and a power module 92. The miniature ionization emitter 91 is embedded in the inner wall of the slot 11 of the tray body 1. A conductive interface is provided at the bottom of the tray body 1, and the conductive interface is electrically connected to the miniature ionization emitter 91.
[0091] The power module 92 is mounted on the carrier plate 34 and has a plug. When the tray body 1 is placed on the carrier plate 34, the plug connects to the conductive interface, enabling the power module 92 to supply power to the miniature ionization emitter 91.
[0092] In this embodiment, the miniature ionizer 91 can be configured as a miniature ion emission needle array or electrically disconnected, so that when the power module 92 supplies power to the miniature ionizer 91, the miniature ionizer 91 can ionize the surrounding air, generating a continuous, stable, and balanced cloud of positive and negative ions within each slot 11, surrounding the heat spreader 12. (Refer to...) Figure 4 At this time, when the first material handling component 41 picks up the heat exchange plate 12, the static charge of the heat exchange plate 12 itself and the surrounding environment has been completely neutralized, and the static electricity generated by friction or separation will be eliminated instantly, thereby eliminating the risk of static damage.
[0093] Example 5: Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the material tray body 1 in embodiment 2 is used.
[0094] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, multiple power modules 92 are provided, and the multiple power modules 92 are respectively arranged on the carrier plate 34, the assembly station 52 and the upright plate 723.
[0095] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 10 The chassis 15 is embedded with a conductive wire, one end of which extends to the raised surface. The miniature ionizer 91 is embedded in the inner wall of the slot 11 of the fan-shaped sub-disk 16. A conductive interface is also embedded in the snap-fit hole, and the conductive interface is electrically connected to the miniature ionizer 91.
[0096] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 10 When the chassis 15 is placed on the carrier plate 34, the plug is inserted into the conductive interface on the chassis 15, enabling the power module 92 to supply power to the conductive wire. Furthermore, when the sector-shaped sub-plate 16 is placed on the chassis 15, the protrusion is inserted into the snap-fit hole, allowing the conductive wire to be electrically connected to the conductive interface on the sector-shaped sub-plate 16, so that the power module 92 can supply power to the miniature ionization transmitter 91.
[0097] In this embodiment, a gripper is provided on the fan-shaped sub-disk 16, and the first feeding mechanism 4, the conveying component 71, and the unloading mechanism 8 are adapted and improved so that the first feeding mechanism 4 and the unloading mechanism 8 can transfer the fan-shaped sub-disk 16 through the gripper, so as to use the fan-shaped sub-disk 16 to drive the heat spreader plate 12 to transfer. At the same time, micro rotary motors are respectively provided on the assembly station 52 and the upright plate 723 to fine-tune the position of the fan-shaped sub-disk 16, thereby ensuring that the copper tube and the heat spreader plate 12 can be assembled, glued, and photocured in sequence.
[0098] When the sector-shaped sub-disc 16 is transferred to the assembly station 52 or the upright plate 723, the power module 92 on the assembly station 52 or the upright plate 723 can supply power to the conductive interface through the plug to ensure continuous active electrostatic protection for the assembled or glue-curing heat spreader 12. The specific working principle is the same as above.
[0099] It should be noted that when the sector-shaped sub-plate 16 is transferred to the assembly station 52 or the upright plate 723, the plug can support the sector-shaped sub-plate 16, and suction cups can be provided on the assembly station 52 or the upright plate 723 to adhere the sector-shaped sub-plate 16, thereby ensuring the stability of the sector-shaped sub-plate 16. Furthermore, a stop is provided on the side of the slot 11 on the sector-shaped sub-plate 16 near the base 15, which can block the heat spreader plate 12 to prevent it from falling off when the sector-shaped sub-plate 16 is upright.
[0100] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
