[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooling pipe feeding mechanism is composed of a cooling pipe material detection sensor 12, a cooling pipe 13, a cooling pipe pushing plate 14, and a cooling pipe pushing cylinder 15. The specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:

[0031] The cooling pipe material detection sensor 12 is fixed on the equipment table and is located directly below the cooling pipe 13.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the pipe-belt stacking mechanism is composed of a stacking lifting cylinder 16, a pipe-belt assembly 17, a material hanging hook 18, a push-out cylinder 19, and a spreading mechanism 20. The specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the intercooler fixture is composed of a fixture body 26, a finished product 27, a buckle 28, and a guide shaft 29. The specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:

[0037] The clamp body 26 is composed of two parts, the upper and lower parts, which can clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the finished product 27. The buckle 28 is located in the middle of the right side of the clamp body 26, and the guide shaft 29 is located on the right side of the clamp body 26 and passes through it for guidance.

[0038] Working principle and process:

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation belt feeding mechanism 1 separates the stacked heat dissipation belts into single pieces. The heat dissipation belt lifting cylinder 6 lifts up, the clamping claw cylinder 8 releases, and after the heat dissipation belt material detection sensor 9 detects that the material has fallen into place, the clamping claw cylinder 8 clamps, the heat dissipation belt lifting cylinder 6 brings the heat dissipation belt 7 down, and the heat dissipation belt pushing cylinder 10 pushes the heat dissipation belt 7 into the tube belt stacking mechanism 3, and the heat dissipation belt feeding mechanism 1 completes the action.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooling tube feeding mechanism 2 separates the stacked cooling tubes 13 into individual pieces and pushes them into the tube belt stacking mechanism 3. The action flow is that the cooling tube pushing cylinder 15 retreats, and after the cooling tube 13 falls and is detected in place by the cooling tube material detection sensor 12, the cooling tube pushing cylinder 15 pushes the cooling tube 13 into the tube belt stacking mechanism 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the tube-band stacking mechanism 3 realizes stacking of the heat dissipation belt 7 and the cooling tube 13, and pushes the stacked finished product into the housing assembly mechanism 4. Its action process is that the stacking jacking cylinder 16 rises in the first stroke, lifts up a heat dissipation belt 7 and a cooling tube 13 and places them on the hanging hook 18. The heat dissipation belt feeding mechanism 1 and the cooling tube feeding mechanism 2 continue to push the material to the tube-band stacking mechanism 3, and the stacking jacking cylinder 16 performs jacking and stacking. This action cycle is repeated many times, and then through the PLC counting function, the preset target number of heat dissipation belts and multiple cooling tubes are staggered and stacked. Then, the stacking jacking cylinder 16 extends in the second stroke to lift the tube-band combination 17 to the highest point. The pushing cylinder 19 pushes out in the first stroke, pushing out the tube-band combination 17 by about one third.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the shell assembly mechanism 4 realizes the assembly of the upper and lower shells 22 and the pipe-belt combination 17. The action process is to manually place the upper and lower shells 22, and the shell assembly cylinder 21 extends, driving the lever 23 to drive the opening mechanism 20 to slightly open the front ends of the upper and lower shells for easy insertion. When the upper and lower shell assembly cylinders 21 are in place, the shell 22 is installed in place, and the opening mechanism 20 is withdrawn synchronously. Then the push cylinder 19 pushes out the second stroke, and the stacked pipe-belt combination 17 is completely pushed into the upper and lower shells 22. The fork cylinder 25 extends to fork the assembled finished product, the upper and lower shell assembly cylinders 21 retreat, and the rear comb cylinder 24 retreats, and the finished product assembly is completed.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the intercooler clamp 5 can realize the clamping and transfer of the assembled finished product. The intercooler clamp 5 has two guide shafts 29 that can be opened and closed manually. After opening, the finished product 27 is clamped. The buckle 28 can be fastened by holding the two handles and clamping them inwards. The buckle 28 can be loosened by breaking the buckle 28.

[0044] This mechanism is a semi-automatic production equipment for water-cooled intercoolers operated by one person. The corresponding product belongs to a pipe-belt structure. This mechanism can assist manual assembly, reduce the error rate of manual repeated stacking, and improve production efficiency.
