Intelligent component processing equipment for monitoring systems

Abstract

This invention relates to the technical field of laser cutting auxiliary equipment, and discloses an intelligent component processing device for a monitoring system, including a worktable, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. The clamping assembly contains a mandrel, and multiple inner support assemblies are spaced apart around the mandrel. Each inner support assembly includes a fixed ring, a movable ring, an annular airbag, an elastic sleeve, and an inner support ring with a sealing ring. The mandrel contains an air chamber, which is connected to the annular airbag via an inflation branch and to a sealed cavity formed by adjacent inner support assemblies via a first pressure regulating valve. An arc-shaped component initially covers the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve. When the annular airbag inflates, the inner support ring adheres tightly to the inner wall of the heat pipe, forming a seal and radial support. Simultaneously, the movable ring moves axially, causing the arc-shaped component to move away from the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve. Gas in the air chamber, after reaching the opening pressure, enters the sealed cavity to establish positive pressure. During cutting, the positive pressure gas is ejected from the kerf to form an air curtain, effectively blocking molten slag from entering and preventing deformation of the thin-walled heat pipe.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of laser cutting auxiliary equipment, and more specifically, it relates to an intelligent component processing equipment for a monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent monitoring systems, the power consumption of intelligent components such as AI image processing chips and edge computing modules is constantly increasing. To ensure the heat dissipation performance of equipment in a compact structure, heat pipe cooling modules are widely used. Heat pipes are usually thin-walled copper tubes with a capillary wick structure inside and filled with working fluid. Their thermal conductivity is highly dependent on the clean vacuum environment inside and the integrity of the capillary structure.

[0003] In the production of heat pipes, laser cutting is often used for fixed-length cutting or end opening to facilitate subsequent welding and sealing. However, copper has a high reflectivity to lasers, resulting in concentrated heat input during cutting and generating a large amount of high-temperature molten slag and metal vapor. Due to the extremely thin walls of the heat pipe, molten slag can easily splash into the interior of the pipe at the cut, adhering to the capillary surface or blocking vapor channels, causing a significant decrease in the heat transfer performance of the heat pipe or even complete failure. Even if a small amount of molten slag enters, it is difficult to completely remove it through subsequent cleaning, and the cleaning process may further damage the capillary structure.

[0004] The existing technology for laser cutting auxiliary equipment still has the following drawbacks: First, in existing technologies, the primary problem encountered during laser cutting of heat pipes is the intrusion of molten slag into the heat pipe's interior. Since heat pipes are typically made of copper, and copper has low absorption and high reflectivity for commonly used laser wavelengths, energy coupling during laser cutting is difficult, resulting in highly concentrated heat input in the cutting area and the generation of large amounts of high-temperature molten slag, spatter particles, and metal vapor. The heat pipe wall is extremely thin, and at the moment the laser cuts through the wall, the high-temperature jets formed at the cut easily enter the pipe cavity. Once the molten slag adheres to the capillary structure (such as the sintered copper powder layer or microgrooves) of the heat pipe's inner wall, or blocks vapor channels, it disrupts the evaporation-condensation cycle of the working fluid inside the heat pipe, leading to a significant decrease in heat transfer performance, or even complete failure. Even with post-cutting cleaning, it is difficult to completely remove the molten slag deep within the capillary structure, and the cleaning process itself may cause secondary damage to the delicate capillary structure.

[0005] Secondly, in existing technologies, thin-walled heat pipes are prone to deformation during the cutting process. The extremely thin walls of heat pipes have low rigidity and limited capacity to withstand external forces and thermal stresses. During laser cutting, the local temperature in the cutting area rises sharply and then cools rapidly, generating significant thermal stress within the pipe wall. This can easily cause the pipe end to collapse, become out of round, or warp. Simultaneously, to secure the heat pipe, the external clamping mechanism needs to apply a certain clamping force. However, insufficient clamping force can cause displacement of the heat pipe during cutting, while excessive clamping force may directly flatten the pipe wall, resulting in elliptical deformation. Once the pipe end deforms, it directly affects the quality of subsequent end welding and sealing, leading to discontinuous welds, reduced airtightness, or even failure to complete the weld. Therefore, how to provide sufficient support to prevent deformation during the cutting process without damaging the thin wall is a pressing problem to be solved in the laser cutting process of heat pipes.

[0006] Therefore, in view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provide an intelligent component processing equipment for monitoring systems, in order to achieve a more practical and valuable purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides an intelligent component processing equipment for monitoring systems, which overcomes the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0008] The purpose and effectiveness of the intelligent component processing equipment for monitoring systems of this invention are achieved by the following specific technical means: An intelligent component processing device for a monitoring system includes a workbench. A first clamping component is fixedly mounted on the upper side of one end of the workbench, and a second clamping component is movably mounted on the upper side of the other end. Both the first and second clamping components include a bracket, a disc is mounted on the bracket, and a rotating component is rotatably mounted inside the disc. The device also includes: A mandrel is disposed in the middle of one side of the rotating component, and an air cavity is provided inside the mandrel for communicating with an external air source; Multiple inner support components are axially spaced on the outer periphery of the mandrel. Each inner support component includes a fixed ring and a movable ring. The fixed ring is fixedly sleeved on the mandrel, and the movable ring is axially slidably sleeved on the mandrel. An annular airbag is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed ring and connected to the air cavity through an inflation branch, wherein a control valve is provided on the inflation branch. An elastic sleeve has a ring portion and a cone portion. The inner wall of the ring portion of the elastic sleeve is connected to the outer periphery of the annular airbag, and the inner wall of one end of the cone portion of the elastic sleeve is connected to the outer periphery of the movable ring. An inner support ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the ring portion of the elastic sleeve, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer periphery of the inner support ring. A first pressure regulating valve is disposed between the air chamber and the sealing chamber formed by the adjacent inner support assembly; An arc-shaped component, fixed to the movable ring, initially covers the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve; When the annular airbag inflates, the annular portion of the elastic sleeve expands radially, causing the inner support ring to adhere tightly to the inner wall of the heat pipe, forming a seal and providing support. Simultaneously, the conical portion of the elastic sleeve drives the movable ring to move axially, causing the arc-shaped component to move away from the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve. After reaching the opening pressure, the gas in the air chamber enters the sealed cavity formed by adjacent inner support assemblies through the first pressure regulating valve. The sealed cavity is formed by the inner walls of two adjacent inner support assemblies and the heat pipe workpiece, and the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve communicates with the sealed cavity.

[0009] A further technical solution includes a partition fixedly installed inside the mandrel, which divides the interior of the mandrel into an air chamber and an air outlet chamber. The air chamber is connected to the air outlet chamber through a second pressure regulating valve, the opening pressure of which is higher than that of the first pressure regulating valve. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the air outlet chamber. One end of the rotating shaft is equipped with a fan, and the other end is equipped with a guide member. The guide member has multiple guide holes at an incline. When the pressure inside the air chamber reaches the opening pressure of the second pressure regulating valve, gas enters the air outlet chamber and drives the fan and the rotating shaft to rotate. The guide member rotates with the rotating shaft and delivers the gas in a spiral shape to the heat pipe workpiece cutting area.

[0010] In a further technical solution, a spiral component is provided on the outer periphery of the middle part of the rotating shaft, and the spiral component is used to rectify and guide the airflow entering the air outlet chamber.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the control valve is a controllable valve, which is used to open during the inflation phase to allow gas to enter the annular airbag from the air chamber, close during the pressure holding phase to maintain the pressure inside the annular airbag, and open during the deflation phase to discharge the gas inside the annular airbag through the inflation branch.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the outer circumference of the inner support ring is provided with a plurality of annular grooves spaced axially, and each annular groove is provided with a sealing ring.

[0013] In a further technical solution, a plurality of elastic elements are connected between the fixed ring and the movable ring, and the cross-section of the elastic elements is a rhomboid structure; when the movable ring moves axially to compress the elastic elements, the elastic elements deform and contact the inner wall of the cone portion of the elastic sleeve, providing radial support to the cone portion of the elastic sleeve.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the outer periphery of the mandrel is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and a slider is axially slidably provided in each sliding groove. The slider is fixedly connected to the corresponding movable ring. An arc-shaped component is fixedly provided on the side of the movable ring away from the elastic component, and the arc-shaped inner wall of the arc-shaped component slides in contact with the outer periphery of the mandrel.

[0015] A further technical solution includes a dynamic sealing ring between the rotating component and the disk, and a rubber ring on one side of the rotating component; an annular cavity is provided inside the disk, the annular cavity is connected to the center of the rotating component through a channel, and the center of the rotating component is connected to the air cavity; a connector is provided on the outer periphery of the disk, which is connected to the annular cavity.

[0016] A further technical solution also includes a stepper motor, which is mounted on the bracket and its output end is connected to the rotating component to drive the rotating component and the spindle to rotate around its own axis.

[0017] In a further technical solution, a pair of support members are symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the middle part of the worktable, and the upper part of the support members is provided with a support groove for supporting the heat pipe workpiece; a telescopic cylinder and a guide rail are installed on the upper side of one end of the worktable facing the second clamping assembly, a guide rail slider is slidably arranged on the guide rail, the second clamping assembly is fixed on the upper side of the guide rail slider, and the extended end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the guide rail slider.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention, by setting up an annular airbag, an elastic sleeve, a movable ring, an arc-shaped component, and a first pressure-regulating valve, allows the annular airbag to expand radially when inflated. This causes the inner support ring to adhere tightly to the inner wall of the heat pipe, forming a seal and providing radial support. Simultaneously, the conical part of the elastic sleeve drives the movable ring to move axially, causing the arc-shaped component to move away from the outlet of the first pressure-regulating valve. After reaching the opening pressure, the gas in the air chamber enters the sealed cavity formed by adjacent inner support components through the first pressure-regulating valve. This achieves a sequence where sealing and support are completed first, followed by automatic opening of the inflation passage. The positive pressure is established stably and reliably, effectively preventing gas leakage caused by inflation before the seal is in place. This ensures that the positive pressure air curtain can stably spray out from the cut during cutting, preventing molten slag from entering the heat pipe.

[0019] This invention, by setting an inner support ring and a sealing ring, allows the inner support ring to drive the sealing ring to uniformly adhere to the inner wall of the heat pipe when the annular airbag inflates and expands, thus creating a multiple seal between the outer circumference of the mandrel and the inner wall of the heat pipe. At the same time, the inner support ring provides uniform radial support to the thin-walled heat pipe from the inside, preventing the heat pipe from deforming, becoming out of round, or collapsing under the combined action of external clamping force and internal positive pressure. This ensures that the pipe end maintains its original shape during the cutting process, which is beneficial to the quality of subsequent end welding seals.

[0020] This invention incorporates a baffle plate, an exhaust chamber, a second pressure regulating valve, a fan, a rotating shaft, a flow guide, and flow guide holes. When the pressure inside the exhaust chamber reaches the opening pressure of the second pressure regulating valve, gas enters the exhaust chamber and drives the fan and rotating shaft to rotate. The flow guide rotates with the rotating shaft, and the flow guide holes are arranged at an angle to deliver the gas in a spiral shape to the heat pipe cutting area. This creates a rotating airflow inside the heat pipe at the cutting seam, and the rotating air curtain covers the entire circumference of the cutting seam. Compared with ordinary axial airflow, the distribution is more uniform, which can block high-temperature molten slag and metal vapor from entering the heat pipe from all directions and prevent capillary contamination.

[0021] This invention, by setting up a rotating component, a disk, and a dynamic sealing ring, ensures the airtightness between the rotating component and the disk when the stepper motor drives the rotating component and the mandrel to rotate around their own axis. This prevents the inert gas in the gas chamber from leaking during the heat pipe's rotational cutting process, and keeps the positive pressure stable. This enables a ring-shaped cutting process where the heat pipe rotates and is cut simultaneously, resulting in a uniform cutting seam and slag-preventing effect unaffected by rotation.

[0022] This invention achieves phased control of the annular airbag's inflation, pressure holding, and deflation by setting the control valve as a controllable valve. During the inflation phase, the valve opens to allow gas to enter the annular airbag from the air chamber via the inflation branch, causing the annular airbag to expand and complete sealing and support. During the pressure holding phase, the valve closes to maintain the pressure inside the annular airbag, ensuring the inner support ring remains tightly against the inner wall of the heat pipe. During the deflation phase, the valve opens to expel the gas inside the annular airbag via the inflation branch, causing the annular airbag to contract and detach from the inner wall of the heat pipe. This facilitates the clamping and removal of heat pipe workpieces and improves the automation level of the equipment.

[0023] This invention incorporates an elastic element with a rhomboid cross-section. When the movable ring moves axially and compresses the elastic element, the elastic element deforms and contacts the inner wall of the conical portion of the elastic sleeve, providing radial support to the conical portion of the elastic sleeve. This enhances the sealing effect between the ring portion of the elastic sleeve and the outer periphery of the mandrel, further improving the sealing reliability of the inner support assembly between the inner wall of the heat pipe and the outer periphery of the mandrel, and making the positive pressure inside the heat pipe more stable.

[0024] This invention, by setting a first clamping assembly, a second clamping assembly, a telescopic cylinder, a guide rail, and a guide rail slider on a worktable, and having the second clamping assembly move along the guide rail under the drive of the telescopic cylinder, can adjust the distance between the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, adapting to heat pipe workpieces of different lengths, and improving the versatility and production efficiency of the equipment.

A guide rail slider 17 is slidably provided on the guide rail 16. The second clamping assembly 14 is fixed on the upper side of the guide rail slider 17.

[0042] Specific usage of this invention: With the development of intelligent monitoring systems, the power consumption of intelligent components such as AI image processing chips and edge computing modules is constantly increasing. To ensure the heat dissipation performance of equipment within a compact structure, heat pipe cooling modules are widely used. During the production of heat pipes, laser cutting is often used for fixed-length cutting or end opening to facilitate subsequent welding and sealing. However, copper has a high laser reflectivity, resulting in concentrated heat input during cutting and generating a large amount of high-temperature molten slag and metal vapor. Because the heat pipe wall is extremely thin, molten slag can easily splash into the pipe cavity at the cut seam, adhering to the capillary surface or blocking vapor channels, causing a significant decrease in the heat transfer performance of the heat pipe or even complete failure.

[0043] In the initial state, the arc-shaped component 33 covers the outer periphery of the first pressure regulating valve 41, sealing the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve 41.

[0044] First, align the opening at one end of the heat pipe workpiece with the front end of the mandrel 22 in the first clamping assembly 13, and slowly push the heat pipe workpiece into the outer periphery of the mandrel 22 in the first clamping assembly 13; use the tapered guide structure of the multiple inner support components 24 on the outer periphery of the mandrel 22 to calibrate the axis of the heat pipe workpiece, so that the mandrel 22 and the heat pipe workpiece remain coaxial.

[0045] When one end of the heat pipe workpiece contacts one side of the rotating member 21 in the first clamping assembly 13, the inner hole of the rubber ring 23 squeezes and limits the outer periphery of one end of the heat pipe workpiece. At this time, the connector 47 in the first clamping assembly 13 is connected to an external air pump. The air pump starts and delivers inert gas through the connector 47 into the annular cavity 48 of the first clamping assembly 13. The inert gas in the annular cavity 48 enters the air chamber 37 through the channel 49 and the center of the rotating member 21, and flows spirally in the air chamber 37. The control system controls the opening of each control valve 40 in the first clamping assembly 13, so that the inert gas in the air chamber 37 enters into multiple annular air bags 26 through multiple inflation branches 39 and control valves 40 respectively. After the annular airbag 26 is filled with inert gas, it expands and its outer surface gradually expands outward, pushing the ring portion of the elastic sleeve 27 and the inner support ring 29 outward until they are completely pressed against the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece; through the expansion of the annular airbag 26, the outer surface of the inner support ring 29 uniformly supports the inner wall of the thin-walled heat pipe workpiece.

[0046] The fixed ring 25, the annular airbag 26, the annular portion of the elastic sleeve 27, the inner support ring 29, and multiple sealing rings 31 together form a multi-layer seal between the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece and the outer periphery of the mandrel 22. The expansion of the annular airbag 26 causes the annular portion of the elastic sleeve 27 to move radially outward, thereby causing the conical portion of the elastic sleeve 27 to move towards the fixed ring 25. The movement of the conical portion of the elastic sleeve 27 causes the movable ring 28 to move, which in turn causes multiple sliders 35 to slide axially within multiple grooves 34. Simultaneously, the movable ring 28, in conjunction with the fixed ring 25, compresses multiple elastic elements 32 to generate elastic force. The axial movement of the movable ring 28 causes multiple arc-shaped elements 33 to move axially, moving them from the outer periphery of the first pressure regulating valve 41 to the outer periphery of the groove 34, thus exposing the outlet of the first pressure regulating valve 41.

[0047] Because the cross-section of the elastic element 32 is rhomboid, it deforms after being axially moved by the movable ring 28 and comes into contact with the inner wall of the tapered portion of the elastic sleeve 27, thereby providing support for the tapered portion of the elastic sleeve 27 and improving the sealing effect between the inner wall of the ring portion of the elastic sleeve 27 and the outer periphery of the mandrel 22. As a result, the multiple inner support components 24 in the first clamping assembly 13 form multiple sealing cavities between the outer periphery of the mandrel 22 and the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, blocking the flow of gas between the inside and outside of one end of the heat pipe workpiece.

[0048] After the first clamping assembly 13 completes its support of the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, the control system closes each control valve 40 in the first clamping assembly 13, sealing the gas inside the annular airbag 26 and maintaining the airbag in an inflated state. The external air pump stops supplying inert gas to the connector 47 of the first clamping assembly 13.

[0049] Next, the heat pipe workpiece is made coaxial with the mandrel 22 in the second clamping assembly 14, and the control system controls the telescopic cylinder 15 to extend. The telescopic cylinder 15 drives the guide rail slider 17 and the second clamping assembly 14 to move towards the first clamping assembly 13, so that the mandrel 22 and multiple inner support assemblies 24 in the second clamping assembly 14 enter the other end of the heat pipe workpiece.

[0050] When the other end of the heat pipe workpiece contacts one side of the rotating member 21 in the second clamping assembly 14, the telescopic cylinder 15 stops; the inner hole of the rubber ring 23 in the second clamping assembly 14 squeezes and limits the outer periphery of the other end of the heat pipe workpiece. Subsequently, the external air pump is connected to the connector 47 in the second clamping assembly 14, the air pump starts and delivers inert gas through the connector 47 to the annular cavity 48 of the second clamping assembly 14; the inert gas in the annular cavity 48 enters the air chamber 37 through the channel 49 and the center of the rotating member 21, and flows spirally in the air chamber 37. The control system controls the opening of each control valve 40 in the second clamping assembly 14, so that the inert gas in the air chamber 37 enters multiple annular air bags 26 through multiple inflation branches 39 and control valves 40 respectively. After the annular air bags 26 are filled, they expand, pushing the ring part of the elastic sleeve 27 and the inner support ring 29 to expand outward and stick to the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, so that the inner support ring 29 evenly supports the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece. Thus, the multiple inner support components 24 in the second clamping assembly 14 form multiple sealed cavities between the outer periphery of the mandrel 22 and the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, blocking the flow of gas between the inside and outside of the other end of the heat pipe workpiece. Through the combined action of the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14, the flow of gas between the inside and outside of the heat pipe workpiece is completely blocked. Specifically, two adjacent inner support components 24 form a sealed cavity between the outer periphery of the mandrel 22 and the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece. This sealed cavity is airtightly isolated by the sealing ring 31 of the inner support component 24 fitting against the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece. The outlet of the first pressure regulating valve 41 is connected to this sealed cavity. When the gas pressure in the gas cavity 37 reaches the opening pressure of the first pressure regulating valve 41, gas enters the sealed cavity, thereby gradually increasing the internal pressure of the heat pipe workpiece and stabilizing it at a set positive pressure value.

[0051] After the second clamping assembly 14 completes its support of the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, the control system controls each control valve 40 in the second clamping assembly 14 to close, keeping the airbag in an inflated state.

[0052] Then, the external air pump is connected to the connector 47 of the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14 respectively, so that inert gas is continuously delivered to the air chamber 37 of the two clamping assemblies.

[0053] At this time, the control valves 40 in the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14 are both in the closed state. The air chamber 37 is filled with inert gas, and the air pressure gradually increases. When the air pressure in the air chamber 37 reaches the first set value, multiple first pressure regulating valves 41 open, and the inert gas in the air chamber 37 is delivered to multiple sealed cavities in the heat pipe workpiece through the multiple first pressure regulating valves 41, so that the two ends of the heat pipe workpiece are filled with inert gas, and the pressure in the two ends of the heat pipe workpiece gradually increases and stabilizes at the set positive pressure value. When the air pressure in the air chamber 37 further reaches a second set value higher than the first set value, the second pressure regulating valve 42 opens, and the high-pressure inert gas in the air chamber 37 enters the air outlet chamber 38 through the second pressure regulating valve 42. The high-pressure gas flows in the air outlet chamber 38 and drives the impeller 44 and the rotating shaft 43 to rotate. The spiral component 45 in the middle of the rotating shaft 43 rectifies the airflow. The rotating shaft 43 drives the guide component 46 to rotate. The multiple guide holes 50 on the guide component 46 rotate and are arranged at an angle, conveying the inert gas in the air outlet chamber 38 in a spiral shape to the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece cutting area. This causes the pressure in the middle of the heat pipe workpiece to gradually increase and stabilize at the set positive pressure value.

[0054] Finally, the control system operates the laser cutting machine to perform laser cutting on the middle of the heat pipe workpiece. Simultaneously, the stepper motors 20 in the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14 start synchronously. The two stepper motors 20 drive the two rotating parts 21 to rotate synchronously. The rotating parts 21 drive the heat pipe workpiece to rotate slowly. The slow rotation of the heat pipe workpiece, in conjunction with the laser cutting machine, achieves ring-shaped laser cutting. During the rotation, the dynamic sealing ring 51 ensures that there is no gas leakage between the rotating part 21 and the disk 19.

[0055] The moment the laser cutting machine cuts through the wall of the heat pipe workpiece, the high-pressure gas inside the heat pipe workpiece is ejected outward at high speed from the cut, forming a rotating gas curtain covering the perimeter of the cut. This blows out all the slag, spatter particles, and metal vapor generated by the laser melting, preventing them from entering the heat pipe workpiece and contaminating the capillary structure. At the same time, the inner support component 24 continuously provides radial support to ensure that the pipe opening does not deform under the influence of cutting heat.

[0056] After cutting, the telescopic cylinder 15 retracts, causing the guide rail slider 17 and the second clamping assembly 14 to move away from the first clamping assembly 13, thus separating the two heat pipe workpieces after cutting. Subsequently, the external air pump is turned off, the pressure in the air chamber 37 decreases, and the first pressure regulating valve 41 and the second pressure regulating valve 42 close. The control system controls the opening of each control valve 40 in the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14, allowing the gas in the multiple annular airbags 26 to slowly leak out through the inflation branch 39 and the control valves 40. The annular airbags 26 contract and detach from the inner wall of the heat pipe workpiece, making it easier for the operator to remove the two heat pipe workpieces from the first clamping assembly 13 and the second clamping assembly 14 respectively.
