In addition, there are about 7 types of heat sinks and filters used in one optical module (4*4*2, 5*5*0.5, 9.5*5*0.5, 11*11*1, 12*14*1, 13*1.1*0.75, 15*7*2), and the number of patches required is about 9. Manual operation is difficult. At present, the patch process of one module requires 3 people to complete, and each person is responsible for 2-3 types of heat sinks. , requiring more manpower; (2) The patch position is mainly determined by the naked eye and experience, and there is a problem of rework due to unqualified labeling position; (3) New employees do not control the force properly when clamping the heat sink with tweezers, resulting in many problems of scrapped materials; (4) The entire process requires continuous manual operation, which consumes a long time and has a low labor time utilization rate; (5) Due to the softness of the heat sink material and the control of material costs, the heat sink incoming material is distributed without gaps in the front, back, left and right. The conventional sheet material auxiliary feeding equipment on the market cannot meet the use requirements. In addition, due to the high viscosity between the heat sink and the base paper, the method of directly sucking the heat sink from the base paper on the market is not applicable.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a stripping and conveying device for optical module heat sink patches, including a horizontal feeding module 1, a vertical motion component 2, a pressing component 5 and a stripping component 6, the pressing component 5 is connected to the vertical motion component 2 through a lifting electric slide 4, the stripping component 6 is fixedly mounted on the vertical motion component 2, and the vertical motion component 2 is slidably connected to the horizontal feeding module 1. Among them, the horizontal feeding module 1 drives the pressing assembly 5 and the stripping assembly 6 connected to the vertical motion assembly 2 to move back and forth between the front and rear stations, and the vertical motion assembly 2 controls the pressing assembly 5 and the stripping assembly 6 to move up and down; at the front station, the stripping assembly 6 is used to realize the stripping of a single heat sink to be stripped from the base paper on the large sheet-like heat sink, and the pressing assembly 5 is used to press the adjacent heat sinks to be stripped during the stripping process. The two cooperate with each other to realize the separation of a single heat sink to be stripped from the base paper and adjacent materials on the large sheet-like heat sink, and the stripped single heat sink is transported to the next station through the cooperation of the horizontal feeding module 1 and the vertical motion assembly 2. In this embodiment, the vertical motion assembly 2 can adopt but is not limited to a screw transmission structure, which is driven by a motor. The specific structural form of the screw transmission structure is the existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0029] As a specific implementation method, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the stripping assembly 6 includes an L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 and a slide cylinder 15. The L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 is fixed on the slide cylinder 15. The slide cylinder 15 is fixedly mounted on the vertical motion assembly 2. The slide cylinder 15 drives the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to move horizontally, so that the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 extends between the heat sink to be stripped and the bottom paper on the large sheet-shaped heat sink. The pressing assembly 5 includes a pressing plate structure 8 and a side pressing plate structure 7. The pressing plate structure 8 and the side pressing plate structure 7 are both mounted on the lifting electric slide 4. The pressing plate structure 8 is located above the horizontal movement path of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to press the single heat sink stripped from the bottom paper on the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19. The side pressing plate structure 7 is located on one side of the pressing plate structure 8, and is used to press the heat sink adjacent to the heat sink to be stripped during the process of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 stripping the heat sink to be stripped.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the pressing plate structure 8 includes a pressing plate 9 and a lifting cylinder 10, the lifting cylinder 10 is connected to the lifting electric slide 4, and the pressing plate 9 is connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 10. Figure 4 As shown, the side pressure plate structure 7 includes an L-shaped mounting plate 11 and two groups of side pressure plates 14. The two groups of side pressure plates 14 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two side walls of the L-shaped mounting plate 11 through two groups of corresponding slide rails 13. The upper ends of the side pressure plates 14 are connected to the side walls of the L-shaped mounting plate 11 through compression springs 12, and the extension and contraction direction of the compression springs 12 is consistent with the sliding direction of the side pressure plates 14.

[0031] During the stripping process, the vertical motion component 2 controls the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to descend to the bottom surface and fit the upper surface of the large sheet-shaped heat sink bottom paper. At the same time, the height of the side pressure plate 14 is adjusted by the lifting electric slide 4, so that the bottoms of the two groups of side pressure plates 14 act on the two adjacent heat sinks to be stripped. The side pressure plates 14 are subjected to the downward pressure of the compression spring 12, so that the two groups of side pressure plates 14 press down the two adjacent heat sinks to be stripped. At this time, the slide cylinder 15 of the stripping component 6 controls the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to extend between the heat sink to be stripped and the bottom paper. , transfer the single heat sink to the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19, so that the bottom of the single heat sink is separated from the base paper. Then, the lifting cylinder 10 of the pressure plate structure 8 controls the pressure plate 9 to move downward, so that the bottom of the pressure plate 9 is attached to the heat sink on the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19, and the vertical motion component 2 controls the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 with the single heat sink to move upward. At this time, the two groups of side pressure plates 14 are pressed tightly against the upper surface of the large sheet-like heat sink due to the downward pressure of the compression spring 12, so as to separate the side of the single heat sink from the adjacent heat sink.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the purpose of setting two independent groups of slide rails 13 and side pressure plates 14 is to ensure that when the last row of stripping is performed, after one group of side pressure plates 14 is limited by the installation limiting structure on one side of the large sheet-like heat sink, the other group of side pressure plates 14 is not affected and can continue to be compressed by the spring 12 to apply downward pressure to the adjacent column of heat sinks; similarly, it can be ensured that when the last row of stripping is performed, after one group of side pressure plates 14 is limited by the installation limiting structure on the other side of the large sheet-like heat sink, the other group of side pressure plates 14 is not affected and can continue to be compressed by the spring 12 to apply downward pressure to the adjacent column of heat sinks.

[0033] Optimized, such as Figure 5 As shown, a manual displacement platform 17 is provided between the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 and the slide cylinder 15, and the slide cylinder 15 itself is provided with a stroke adjustment screw 16, which is used to adjust the distance between the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 and the two sets of side pressure plates 14, so as to adjust the optimal label peeling position. Furthermore, a compression spring force slide 18 is also provided on the mounting plate of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19, so that the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 can be seamlessly and tightly fitted with the base paper under the pressure of the compression spring, so as to minimize the influence of the insertion process of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 on the thickness of the heat sink.

[0034] Furthermore, a layer of anti-stick coating is coated on the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19, and the thickness of the anti-stick coating is relatively thin so that the peeling method does not affect the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink. The side pressure plate 14 and the pressure plate 9 are both made of anti-stick material.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting electric slide 4 is configured with different coordinate parameters to adjust the height of the side pressure plate 14 to match the different thicknesses of heat sinks of different models.

[0036] Optimally, the end of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 that contacts the heat sink to be peeled is provided with a row of cutting grooves 20 to facilitate the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to be inserted between the heat sink and the base paper, and at the same time facilitate the subsequent adsorption and fixation of the heat sink by the subsequent workstation when the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 removes the heat sink.

[0037] Optimized, the horizontal feeding module 1 is provided with an identification mechanism 3 for obtaining the starting stripping position of the large sheet heat sink; the horizontal feeding module 1 drives the identification mechanism 3 to move to the photographing position of the large sheet heat sink to obtain the starting coordinates of the large sheet heat sink, including the starting coordinates of the incoming incomplete sheet heat sink. When the number of individual heat sinks of the large sheet heat sink is greater than the module demand for patching, the stripping and handling device is used again without manually selecting the starting position, and the use of the equipment is simplified.

[0038] In this embodiment, the stripping and conveying device transfers the single heat sink peeled from the large sheet heat sink to the next station, and the specific process is as follows: S1, the horizontal feeding module 1 sends the stripped single heat sink to the top of the next station; S2, the vertical movement component 2 controls the stripping component 6 and the pressing component 5 to move downward to the unloading position of the next station at the same time; S3, the slide cylinder 15 of the stripping component 6 controls the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to retract; S4, the lifting cylinder 10 of the pressing component 5 controls the pressing plate 9 to retract; S5, the vertical movement component 2 controls the stripping component 6 and the pressing component 5 to move upward to the initial position at the same time; S6, the horizontal feeding module 1 drives the stripping component 6 and the pressing component 5 back to the previous station to continue to complete the stripping and conveying of the next single heat sink.

[0039] Preferably, the pressing plate 9 of the pressing assembly 5 is provided with a sheet unloading step. When the slide cylinder 15 controls the retracting action of the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19, the sheet unloading step can be used to assist the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 to complete the sheet unloading function.

[0040] Furthermore, the stripping area of ​​the L-shaped elastic steel sheet 19 is designed to be larger than the largest type of heat sink, and can be directly applied to all types of heat sinks; and the unloading step of the pressing plate 9 is also designed to be directly applied to all types of heat sinks, so as to achieve the versatility of the equipment.

[0041] In addition, the utility model also provides an automatic mounting system for optical module heat sinks, including the above-mentioned stripping and conveying device for mounting optical module heat sinks, and also including a feeding mechanism for feeding large sheet heat sinks, a transfer positioning mechanism for rotating the heat sink to a mounting angle, a gantry conveying mechanism for conveying the heat sink on the transfer positioning mechanism to the mounting position on the material to be mounted, and a loading and unloading mechanism for loading and unloading the material to be mounted; wherein, the feeding mechanism is located at the previous station of the stripping and conveying device, and the transfer positioning mechanism is located at the subsequent station of the stripping and conveying device.

[0042] The above examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. All designs that are identical or similar to the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
