[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] The utility model uses one robot to open and take materials and carry them for two independent flat tube feeding mechanisms and fin feeding mechanisms, and the robot is placed in the middle of the two feeding mechanisms, so that the robot's mechanical arm can easily reach the edge of the feeding mechanism, effectively reducing the space occupied by the feeding mechanism, thereby reducing the site space required for the cooler assembly line. At the same time, the two feeding mechanisms use one robot, which reduces the inspection investment cost of the cooler assembly line. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility model when viewed from above.

[0014] The accompanying drawings are marked as follows: 1. feeding turntable; 2. material rack; 3. lifting electric cylinder; 4. motor; 5. reducer; 6. robot; 7. material taking suction cup; 8. buffer area; 9. transplanting mechanism. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0016] The utility model provides a condenser flat tube and fin feeding mechanism, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes two feeding mechanisms and a robot 6. The two feeding mechanisms are designed side by side. The robot 6 is placed at the rear end of the two feeding mechanisms and is located in the middle of the two feeding mechanisms. A material picking suction cup 7 is connected to the bottom of the moving end of the robot 6. A buffer area 8 is provided at the rear end of the robot 6, and a transplanting mechanism 9 is provided at the bottom of the buffer area 8.

[0017] Two independent flat tube feeding mechanisms and fin feeding mechanisms share one robot 6 for material handling, and the robot 6 is placed in the middle of the two feeding mechanisms, so that the mechanical arm of the robot 6 can easily reach the edge of the feeding mechanism, effectively reducing the space occupied by the feeding mechanism, thereby reducing the site space required for the cooler assembly line. At the same time, the two feeding mechanisms share one robot 6, which reduces the inspection investment cost of the cooler assembly line.

[0018] When in use, the robot 6 and the material taking suction cup 7 take out the flat tubes and fins from the two feeding mechanisms respectively, and operate reciprocatingly continuously, and transport the taken out flat tubes and fins to the buffer area 8 for temporary storage, and the provided transplanting mechanism 9 transfers the flat tubes and fins to the next production process.

[0019] As one of the embodiments, the loading mechanism includes a loading turntable 1 and a material rack 2. The loading turntable 1 is a disc structure and is installed on the cooler assembly line through a rotating shaft. The material rack 2 is composed of two correspondingly arranged U-shaped brackets. The two U-shaped brackets form a spacing for storing flat tubes or fins.

[0020] Furthermore, there are multiple material racks 2, and the multiple material racks 2 are equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction of the feeding turntable 1. The multiple material racks 2 can prevent more flat tubes and fins from being placed on 1.

[0021] Furthermore, a motor 4 is connected to the bottom of the loading turntable 1 on one side, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a reducer 5, which is connected to a rotating shaft arranged at the bottom of the loading turntable 1. The motor 4 and the reducer 5 can drive the loading turntable 1 to rotate slowly, so that when the flat tubes and fins in the current material rack 2 are taken out, the loading turntable 1 is rotated to transfer the full flat tubes and fins on the next material rack 2 to the position of the previous material rack 2, without the need for the robot 6 to reposition the material rack 2 and the flat tubes and fins.

[0022] Furthermore, a rectangular hole is provided on the top surface of the loading turntable 1 between the two U-shaped brackets, and a lifting electric cylinder 3 is provided below the rectangular hole. When the robot 6 takes the material, the flat tube and the fin are pushed upward by the provided lifting electric cylinder 3 to cooperate with the robot 6 to take the material, thereby avoiding that the robot 6 is not long enough when removing the flat tube and the fin at the bottom.

[0023] Several points should be explained: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, which may refer to mechanical connection or electrical connection, or internal communication between two components, or direct connection. "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may change;

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the contents disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
