Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular relates to a heat sink feeder. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the operating speed and efficiency of electronic components, the heat generated when operating electronic devices is also increasing. The rapid accumulation of heat causes the internal temperature of the device to rise rapidly. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the device will continue to heat up, and the components will fail due to overheating. The reliability of electronic devices will decline, and even the entire component may burn out. Therefore, heat sinks are installed in electronic devices.

[0003] When installing the heat sink into the electronic device, a feeding device will be used. Since the heat sink is thin, easy to deform, and has various shapes, and at the same time, there are limitations on the orientation of the outer surface of the product during production, manual feeding is often used. However, the disadvantage of manual feeding is that it cannot work intensively and for a long time, resulting in low feeding efficiency of the heat sink. Summary of the Utility Model
