Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat sink processing and feeding, and in particular relates to an improvement on the structure of a feeding device for heat sinks. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of heat sinks, it is generally necessary to place the heat sinks on different tooling equipment for gluing and inserting.

[0003] The original heat sink is mainly placed in a tray. When loading, a robot arm is required to grab the heat sink in the tray and directly grab it to the camera component, i.e. the visual inspection module, and pause to take pictures to obtain the position information of the heat sink. The image taken by the camera element can only roughly know whether the orientation of the back or front of the heat sink is correct, and then it is directly placed on the rotating tray for loading.

[0004] However, in the process of placing the heat sink on the rotating material tray, due to the irregular position of the heat sink placed in the tray, when the robot reaches the set position according to the set path to grab the heat sink, it may cause the position of the grabbed heat sink to be incorrect and possibly skewed, thereby affecting the position of the robot to place the heat sink on the rotating material tray, and ultimately reducing the loading accuracy of the heat sink.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0057] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore, should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0058] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. In the description of the implementation method, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0059] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0060] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0061] The utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding device for feeding a heat sink, which includes:

[0062] A tray 100, wherein a placement slot is provided on the tray 100 for placing the heat sink;

[0063] The heat sink comprises a main heat sink and a plurality of heat sink fins vertically arranged on the main heat sink.

[0064] When the heat sink is placed in the placement slot, it is arranged vertically, and its main heat sink plate is placed vertically.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the tray 100 includes: a tray body, in which a plurality of heat sink placement positions are newly formed. When placed, the plurality of heat sinks are arranged in parallel in the plurality of heat sink placement positions.

[0066] When the heat sink is placed inside the tray 100, its placement position may be slightly deflected, so that when it is loaded onto the rotating material tray 500, it will also tilt, affecting the loading accuracy.

[0067] The manipulator 210 may directly adopt the six-axis manipulator 210 structure in the prior art.

[0068] The gripping component 220 is connected to the end of the robot 210 body and is used to grip the heat sink in the placement slot and can be moved and turned under the drive of the robot 210;

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping component 220 is a cylinder clamp having two clamping arms that can be opened and closed to clamp the heat sink.

[0070] Specifically, when the clamping component 220 is in motion, it clamps the two sides of the heat sink to transport the heat sink.

[0071] Since the gripping component 220 is connected to the end of the robot 210 , it can move in three directions and flip in three directions under the drive of the robot 210 .

[0072] The correction device 300 is arranged on one side of the tray 100, and is used to align the position of the heat sink clamped from the pallet by the robot 210. When the robot 210 clamps the heat sink through the clamping component, the clamping position of the clamping component 220 will be inaccurate due to the incorrect position of the heat sink. If it directly enters the subsequent rotating material tray 500, it will cause a large deviation in the loading position, affecting the loading accuracy.

[0073] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a correction device 300 is proposed in this embodiment, including:

[0074] Positioning base 310;

[0075] A positioning portion 320 is formed at one end of the positioning base 310;

[0076] The movable member 330 is movably arranged on the positioning base 310, arranged opposite to the positioning portion 320 and parallel to the positioning portion 320, and a positioning position 340 for accommodating a heat sink is formed between the movable member 330 and the positioning portion 320;

[0077] When the heat sink is placed at the positioning position 340, the moving component 330 can move and cooperate with the positioning portion 320 to clamp the heat sink to correct the position of the heat sink;

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning base 310 is a positioning substrate or a positioning base block, which can be a rectangular plate or a square plate, and is a base for carrying a heat sink.

[0079] The positioning base 310 has first vertical side portions arranged vertically formed at both ends thereof, and second vertical side portions arranged perpendicular to the first vertical side portions are formed at both sides thereof.

[0080] The positioning portion 320 is disposed at one end of the positioning base 310 and is parallel to the first vertical side surface.

[0081] The positioning portion 320 has a positioning surface 321, and the positioning surface 321 is a positioning plane parallel to the first vertical side surface;

[0082] The surface of the positioning portion 320 opposite to the positioning surface 321 is flush with or parallel to the first vertical side surface.

[0083] The moving component 330 is disposed opposite to the positioning portion 320 and is parallel to the positioning portion 320 to ensure an alignment and positioning effect for the heat sink placed in the positioning position 340 .

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, a movable positioning surface 331 is provided on the movable component 330 , and the movable positioning surface 331 is used to cooperate with the positioning surface 321 to position the heat sink.

[0085] During setting, the movable positioning surface 331 is arranged parallel to the first vertical side surface, and the movable positioning surface 331 and the positioning surface 321 are parallel, so that the movable positioning surface 331 and the positioning surface 321 are both arranged parallel to the first vertical side surface, which can ensure the accuracy of the positions of the two surfaces that contact the heat sink for correcting the heat sink, and further ensure that when correcting the heat sink, the heat sink can be clamped and aligned, thereby ensuring the correction and alignment effect of the heat sink.

[0086] Specifically, when correcting the deviation, the movable component 330 is controlled to move. When the movable component 330 moves, it can exert force on the heat sink placed in the positioning position 340, and the positioning surface 331 and the positioning surface 321 are moved to cooperate with each other to clamp and align the back side of the main heat sink plate of the heat sink and the surface formed by the ends of multiple heat sink fins opposite to the main heat sink, respectively. The tilted position of the heat sink is corrected by the clamping force of the movable component 330.

[0087] The visual inspection module 400 is arranged on one side of the correction device 300 and is used to take a picture of the heat sink after the clamping component 220 is taken out from the correction device 300 and turned over, so as to obtain the position information of the heat sink;

[0088] The heat sink may still have position deviation after being corrected by the correction device 300. In order to further ensure the accuracy of the position of the heat sink when it is loaded onto the rotating material tray 500, in this embodiment, a visual inspection module 400 is provided to perform secondary recognition and judgment on the position and posture of the heat sink.

[0089] When the clamping component 220 clamps the heat sink, the heat sink is placed vertically, and the clamping component 220 clamps both sides of the heat sink. The bottom and top of the heat sink are both heat sink fins, and the main heat sink is located at the rear position.

[0090] The visual inspection module 400 is mainly used to obtain whether the posture of the heat sink is correct and whether the position is accurate by taking pictures.

[0091] The heat sink that is normally clamped by the clamping component 220 of the manipulator 210 has its main heat sink located at the rear. The manipulator 210 needs to drive the clamping component 220 to flip 90 degrees before the main heat sink can face the visual inspection module 400, and the position of the main heat sink can be photographed by the visual inspection module 400.

[0092] By taking a picture of the turned-over heat sink through the visual inspection module 400, it can be determined whether the posture of the heat sink is correct, that is, whether the main heat dissipation surface is at the rear position.

[0093] If the heat sink is in the correct position, after the robot 210 flips 90 degrees, its main heat sink can be captured by the visual inspection module 400.

[0094] If the heat sink is placed upside down, when the robot 210 flips 90 degrees and takes a picture of the heat sink, a picture of multiple heat sink fins is obtained. At this time, the heat sink has an incorrect posture. If the heat sink is subsequently loaded, a loading error will occur.

[0095] By taking photos of the clamping component 220 clamping the heat sink and the heat sink through the visual inspection module 400, the position of the heat sink can be further identified and determined.

[0096] A controller, communicating with the visual inspection module 400, receiving image information of the visual inspection module 400, acquiring position information of the heat sink according to the image information, and controlling the movement of the manipulator 210 according to the position information;

[0097] The image information captured by the visual inspection module 400 will be sent to the controller, and the controller can analyze and process the image through the image analysis and processing module built inside it to obtain whether the posture of the heat sink is correct, that is, whether the main heat sink plate of the heat sink is at the rear, and at the same time obtain the position of the heat sink through the image analysis and processing module.

[0098] The image analysis and processing module can be directly implemented by using existing mature image analysis and processing technical means, which will not be elaborated here.

[0099] If the posture is correct, the robot arm 210 can be controlled to flip 90 degrees again to place the heat sink on the subsequent rotating material tray 500 for loading.

[0100] If the heat sink is detected to be in an incorrect posture, the robot 210 can be controlled to flip the heat sink based on the detected image information, and the photo can be taken again after flipping. The flipping can be set to 90 degrees each time until it is flipped to a position that meets the requirements, so as to ensure that the material can be accurately loaded onto the rotating material tray 500.

[0101] The controller can also obtain the actual position information of the heat sink through the image information captured by the visual detection module 400, and determine whether the heat sink has a position deviation according to the preset position information pre-stored therein;

[0102] If there is a position deviation, it can be supplemented by the movement of the robot 210 to ensure that the heat sink can be accurately loaded onto the rotating material tray 500.

[0103] If the heat sink is found to have a deviation in the X direction according to the captured image information of the heat sink, the manipulator 210 may be moved in the X direction to compensate for the deviation;

[0104] If there is a deviation in the Y direction, the robot 210 can increase the movement in the Y direction to compensate for the deviation, so as to ensure the accuracy of the position of the heat sink when it is loaded onto the rotating material tray 500, thereby ensuring the accuracy of loading.

[0105] The controller controls the movement of the robot arm through the preset position and the actual position of the heat sink by directly adopting the mature control in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0106] The rotating material tray 500 is rotatable and arranged on one side of the visual inspection module 400 , and a plurality of heat sink placement seats are arranged above the rotating material tray 500 for receiving the heat sinks clamped from the robot 210 .

[0107] A plurality of heat sink seats are provided, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the rotating material tray 500. The heat sink seats can be used to receive the heat sinks after being photographed. After the robot 210 takes the photo, the heat sink needs to be flipped 180 degrees so that the multiple fins face downward and the main heat sink faces upward, so as to facilitate insertion into the heat sink seat. At the same time, the top surface of the main heat sink is glued by the glue coating device.

[0108] The loading device in this embodiment adds a correction device 300 between the visual inspection module 400 and the tray 100. The heat sink clamped by the manipulator 210 can be first placed in the positioning position 340 of the correction device 300, and then moved to the positioning part 320 by the moving part 330 to push the heat sink. Finally, the front and rear sides of the heat sink are clamped by the moving part 330 and the positioning part 320 to correct the position of the heat sink, thereby solving the problem that the heat sink may be biased when being clamped by the clamping part 220, which affects the loading accuracy.

[0109] After the movable part 330 is clamped, it moves in the opposite direction to loosen the positioning of the heat sink. Then, the clamping part 220 on the manipulator 210 clamps the heat sink and moves it to the top of the visual inspection module 400 and flips it 90 degrees to take a picture of the heat sink. The heat sink is photographed by the visual inspection module 400 to obtain the position information of the heat sink, so as to perform secondary identification and positioning of the position and posture of the heat sink before loading it onto the rotating material tray 500. The posture error and position deviation of the heat sink are compensated and corrected through the movement of the manipulator 210, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the position of the heat sink placed on the rotating material tray 500 and further improving the loading accuracy.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning portion 320 is a positioning portion 320 piece fixedly assembled at one end of the positioning base 310 .

[0111] The positioning portion 320 is a positioning block, which can be locked and fixed on the positioning base 310 by a locking member;

[0112] The positioning block can also be fixed on the positioning base 310 by welding.

[0113] The positioning portion 320 is vertically arranged on the top surface of the positioning base 310 to ensure that the heat sink can be resisted and limited when the heat sink is pushed to its position, thereby ensuring the correction effect of the heat sink.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning portion 320 is a positioning protrusion extending from the positioning base 310 , and during molding, the positioning protrusion and the positioning base 310 are integrally formed.

[0117] The driving component 333 is transmission-connected to the movable positioning member 332 , and is used to drive the movable positioning member 332 to move toward the side close to the positioning portion 320 or away from the positioning portion 320 along the first direction.

[0120] The driving component 333 includes a telescopic part. The driving component 333 is a driving cylinder, including a cylinder piston rod. The end of the cylinder piston rod is provided with an external thread, which is screwed onto the threaded connector 3323.

[0121] When the driving cylinder is in motion, the cylinder piston rod can be driven to move, and the cylinder piston rod pushes the connecting portion 3322 and the movable positioning portion 3321 connected thereto to move closer to the positioning portion 320 or away from the positioning portion 320 .

[0123] There are two barrier guide parts 350, which are formed at two sides of the positioning base 310 and arranged opposite to each other;

[0125] The driving component 333 and the movable positioning member 332 are both arranged in the guide space, and two sides of the movable positioning member 332 are arranged in contact with the barrier guide portion 350 .

[0126] The barrier guide portion 350 is used to guide the movement of the movable positioning member 332 to prevent the movable positioning member 332 from being deflected during the movement process, thereby affecting the correction accuracy of the heat sink.

[0127] The barrier guide portion 350 is disposed vertically to the positioning base 310 and is parallel to the second vertical surface portion 312 to ensure linear guidance of the movable positioning member 332 during movement, thereby ensuring a guiding effect.

[0130] In some embodiments, sliding protrusions are provided on both sides of the movable positioning member 332, and a sliding track is provided on the barrier guide portion 350. The sliding protrusions can be slidably connected in the sliding track to ensure that the movable positioning member 332 will not fall off during the movement along the barrier guide portion 350.
