It is widely used in the fields of electronics, industrial production, aerospace, and aviation. In order to properly perform the heat dissipation function, it is very important to improve the efficiency and quality of radiator manufacturing. Currently, the mainstream connection method for heat sinks is usually gluing, but this method will cause the heat sink to be prone to aging, corrosion, cracking at the bonding point, etc. In the production of water-cooled radiators, it is necessary to perform heat sink welding processing, that is, to weld two heat sinks into a heat dissipation unit under the clamping of a fixture. However, due to the requirements of high precision and good clamping tightness during the welding process, the efficiency and quality of welding heat sinks will decrease. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to better understand the present technical solution, further description is provided with reference to the following drawings.
[0018] A pneumatic clamp for auxiliary welding of metal heat sinks comprises a mounting platform 1, a cylinder 2, a movable clamp 3, and a fixed clamp 4. The cylinder 2 is fixed on the mounting platform 1. The telescopic head of the cylinder 2 is fixed with a metal connecting rod 22, and the end of the metal connecting rod 22 is fixed to the movable clamp 3. The cylinder 2 is used to make the metal connecting rod 22 move back and forth. The cylinder 2 is provided with air pressure through a high-pressure vacuum pump. The cylinder 2 is provided with an air pressure valve 21, which has two pairs of air inlet valves and air outlet valves. The air pressure valve 21 is used to adjust the inlet and outlet gas flow and control the movement speed of the metal connecting rod 22. The cylinder 2 is connected to the high-pressure vacuum pump by an air pipe. The air pressure valve 21 should maintain the consistency of the inlet and outlet air flow to ensure that the movable clamp 4 and the fixed clamp 5 are clamped in parallel.
[0019] The fixed clamp 4 and the movable clamp 3 are arranged parallel to each other. The fixed clamp 4 is installed and fixed on the table within the working range of the welding equipment. The movable clamp 3 is divided into a movable clamp upper plate 31 at the upper end and a movable clamp lower plate 32 at the lower end. The fixed clamp 4 is divided into a fixed clamp upper plate 41 at the upper end and a fixed clamp lower plate 42 at the lower end. The opposite surfaces of the movable clamp 3 and the fixed clamp 4 are provided with a metal heat sink placement groove. The metal heat sink placement groove is divided into three areas: upper, middle and lower. The upper area and the middle area are two isosceles trapezoids. The upper bottom sides of the two isosceles trapezoids are axially symmetrical. The size of the isosceles trapezoid is set to accommodate the third straight periphery 53 and the second straight periphery 52 of the metal heat sink 5; the lower area is a trapezoid, which is used to place the second straight periphery 52, a part of the length of the first straight periphery 51, and a part of the length of the third straight periphery 53. The upper plate 31 of the movable fixture and the lower plate 32 of the movable fixture, and the upper plate 41 of the fixed fixture and the lower plate 42 of the fixed fixture are all connected and fastened by locking bolts. An appropriate gap is left between the metal heat sink placement groove and the edge of the metal heat sink so that the two are close but not clamped, and there is no obstruction in placing and removing the metal heat sink. When the metal heat sink 5 is placed in the metal heat sink placement groove, it is 2-3 mm higher than the top edge of the movable fixture 3 and the fixed fixture (4).
[0020] The movable clamp upper plate 31 and the fixed clamp upper plate 41 are made of copper, while the movable clamp lower plate 32 and the fixed clamp lower plate 42 are made of carbon steel. Copper has good heat dissipation properties, which can prevent excessive heat input during welding and cause deformation of the clamp, thereby improving the working time.
[0021] The bottom of the fixing fixture 4 is L-shaped, and the bottom edge is used to open screw holes for mounting screws on the table.
[0022] The movable clamp 3 is provided with five equidistant through holes. The holes at both ends are used to insert the metal connecting rod 22 and be fastened with nuts to form a detachable connection, which is convenient for positioning according to different platform heights; the middle three are threaded holes, which are used to install bolts to fasten the movable clamp upper plate 31 and the movable clamp lower plate 32. The fixed clamp 4 is provided with three equidistant through threaded holes, which are used to install bolts to fasten the fixed clamp upper plate 41 and the fixed clamp lower plate 42.
[0023] How to Use This Device: This auxiliary pneumatic clamp is placed within the operating range of the welding equipment. First, insert the metal heat sink 5 into the metal heat sink groove of the fixed clamp 4. Then, activate cylinder 2, pushing the movable clamp 3 outward. The metal heat sink groove of the movable clamp 3 also aligns with the metal heat sink 5. The movable clamp 3 and the fixed clamp 4 clamp the metal heat sink 5 tightly, leaving 2-3mm of the upper portion of the metal heat sink 5 exposed as the welded portion. After welding, return cylinder 2 and the movable clamp 3 to their original position. Use pliers to remove the metal heat sink 5 from the metal heat sink groove of the fixed clamp 4.
