DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0029] The utility model provides a liquid cooling plate retrieving device, comprising: a docking head; a mounting base connected to the docking head; a suction member mounted at a first preset position on the mounting base; and a clamping member mounted at a second preset position on the mounting base. The suction member and the clamping member cooperate to grasp the liquid cooling plate. The docking head is used to dock with a robot arm, the mounting base is used to carry and install other auxiliary components, the suction member is used to dock with external vacuum equipment to absorb the liquid cooling plate, and the clamping member is used to clamp the liquid cooling plate.

[0030] During implementation, the docking head is connected to the mounting base, and the docking head is docked to the manipulator. The mounting base 1 has a first preset position and a second preset position. A suction piece is installed on the first preset position of the mounting base 1, and the suction piece is connected to the external vacuum equipment. The clamping piece is installed on the second preset position. Since the suction piece is docked with the external vacuum equipment, the vacuum equipment creates a negative pressure state for the suction piece. When the suction piece is close to the liquid cooling plate, the liquid cooling plate will be adsorbed on the suction piece. When the liquid cooling plate is adsorbed on the suction piece, the clamping piece arranged at the second preset position clamps the liquid cooling plate, so that the liquid cooling plate is sucked and clamped at the same time. The suction of the suction piece and the clamping of the clamping piece can achieve more stable grasping of the liquid cooling plate, and the cost is lower than the solution of clamping the liquid cooling plate with the motor and the screw.

[0031] Specifically, the first preset position is the bottom of the mounting seat, the second preset position is the side of the bottom of the mounting seat, the suction member is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat, and the clamping member is installed at the side of the bottom of the mounting seat. The suction member can be a suction head, a suction cup and other components. In this embodiment, the suction member is a suction cup.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first preset position is the bottom of the mounting base, the mounting base is provided with a nozzle, the suction member includes a suction cup, the suction cup is provided with an air passage, and the air passage of the suction cup is connected to the nozzle on the mounting base. The nozzle is used to connect to the suction pipe of an external vacuum device.

[0033] During implementation, the suction tube of the external vacuum equipment is connected to the pipe mouth on the mounting base, the suction cup is installed to the bottom of the mounting base, and the air channel in the suction cup is connected to the pipe mouth. The vacuum equipment draws air in the air channel through the suction tube to form a negative pressure in the air channel. When the suction cup is close to the liquid cooling plate, the liquid cooling plate will be adsorbed on the suction cup, thereby achieving the purpose of sucking up the liquid cooling plate.

[0034] Specifically, a plurality of pipe openings are provided on the mounting base, and a plurality of suction cups are provided on the suction piece. The plurality of pipe openings are arranged side by side on the top of the mounting base, and the plurality of suction cups are arranged side by side on the bottom of the mounting base. Adjacent suction cups are pressed against each other, and a plurality of staggered air passages are provided in the suction cups. Air passage openings are formed on the surfaces of the suction cups. The air passages are connected through the air passage openings on the sides of each suction cup, and each pipe opening is connected to the air passage in a suction cup. The suction cup combination can increase the suction area, thereby achieving the suction of more liquid cooling plates at one time.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second preset position is at the bottom of the mounting base and on both sides of the suction member in the axial direction. The clamping member includes two movable clamping plates, each of which is connected to a pushing cylinder. The positions on both sides of the axial direction mean that the two movable clamping plates are located on both sides of the suction member and in the same axial direction.

[0036] During implementation, a movable splint is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat and on both axial sides of the suction piece, and a pushing cylinder is installed on each movable splint. When the suction piece absorbs the liquid cooling plate, the two movable splints are pushed toward the suction piece by the pushing cylinder, and the two movable splints are clamped to the liquid cooling plate on the suction piece, thereby achieving the purpose of cooperating with the suction piece to grab the liquid cooling plate and increasing the stability of the liquid cooling plate when being grabbed.

[0037] In some cases, the clamping member may also include a fixed clamping plate and a movable clamping plate. The fixed clamping plate is fixed on one side of the suction member, and the movable clamping plate can be movably installed on the other side of the suction member. The movable clamping plate is connected to a pushing cylinder. When the suction member absorbs the liquid cooling plate, the movable clamping plate cooperates with the fixed clamping plate to clamp the liquid cooling plate under the drive of the pushing cylinder, thereby improving the stability of the liquid cooling plate.

[0038] In some embodiments, two adjustment seats are provided at the second preset position. The adjustment seats are detachably mounted on the mounting seat, and a movable splint is movably mounted on each adjustment seat.

[0039] During implementation, adjustment seats 107 are installed at both ends of the mounting seat 1, and the movable splint is installed on the adjustment seat 107. Since the number of liquid cooling plates absorbed by the suction piece is sometimes different, the overall width occupied by different numbers of liquid cooling plates on the suction panel is different, so it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two movable splints on both sides of the suction piece, and the position of the movable splint can be changed by the adjustment seat 107. Since the adjustment seat 107 is detachably mounted on the mounting seat 1, the adjustment seat 107 can be disassembled, and then the installation position of the adjustment seat 107 can be changed to change the position of the movable splint, so that the tightening can be completed for different numbers of liquid cooling plates.

[0040] Specifically, openings are provided on both sides of the mounting base 1, and an adjustment base 107 is provided on each opening. A fixing plate 110 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting base 107. The fixing plate 110 is connected to the pushing cylinder 105 through the opening. The adjusting base 107 is fixed to the mounting base 1 by screws. The mounting base 1 is provided with screw holes, and the adjusting base 107 is provided with through holes. The through holes are long strip-shaped through holes, and the screws can pass through different positions of the through holes to be fixed in the screw holes.

[0041] In some cases, the adjustment seat 107 may also be provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 1 , and screw holes may be provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 1 , and the position of the adjustment seat 107 may be changed by installing the adjustment seat 107 at the positions of different screw holes.

[0042] In some embodiments, a guide rail 108 is provided on the adjustment seat 107 , a slider 109 is provided on the guide rail 108 , and the movable splint 106 is connected to the slider 109 .

[0043] During implementation, a guide rail 108 is installed on the adjustment seat 107, and a slider 109 is set on the guide rail 108. The movable splint 106 is connected to the slider 109. After the movable splint 106 is pushed by the pushing cylinder 105, it will drive the slider 109 to move on the guide rail 108. The guide rail 108 cooperates with the slider 109 to guide the push block.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 includes a mounting plate 102 and two side plates 103 , the two side plates 103 are respectively mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 102 , the suction cup 2 is mounted at the bottom of the side plate 103 , and the docking joint 4 is mounted on the side plate 103 .

[0045] During implementation, side panels 103 are installed on both sides of the mounting plate 102, the straw interface 101 is located on the mounting plate 102, the suction cup 2 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 102, and the docking joint 4 is installed on the side panels 103. The side panels 103 support the docking joint 4 and form a gap between the docking joint 4 and the mounting plate 102. The gap formed between the docking joint 4 and the mounting plate 102 can prevent the docking joint 4 from shielding the straw interface 101, thereby increasing the available area of ​​the mounting plate 102 for setting the straw interface 101, and ultimately improving the suction force of the suction cup 2.

[0046] In some cases, the docking joint 4 may also be fixed to the mounting plate 102 via supporting members such as support columns.

[0047] In some embodiments, a negative pressure gauge 104 is provided on the side panel 103 .

[0048] During implementation, a negative pressure gauge 104 is set on the side plate 103, and the negative pressure gauge 104 is connected to an external vacuum device. The negative pressure gauge 104 is used to monitor the gas pressure, so that the pressure in the airway 201 of the suction cup 2 can be observed at any time.

[0049] In some embodiments, the docking joint 4 includes a bracket 401 and a connecting plate 402, the bracket 401 is connected to the mounting base 1, the connecting plate 402 is installed on the bracket 401, and the bracket is provided with a camera module.

[0050] During implementation, the bracket 401 is installed on the mounting base 1, and then the connecting plate 402 is installed on the bracket 401, and then connected to the manipulator through the connecting plate 402. The manipulator drives the mounting base 1 to move, and the bracket 401 supports the connecting plate 402, and the connecting plate 402 connects to the manipulator. A camera module is set on the bracket to shoot the predetermined marking point, which is the position of the liquid cooling plate.

[0051] In some embodiments, the camera module includes a camera 403 and a support 404 , wherein the support 404 is mounted on the bracket 401 , and the camera 403 is mounted on the support 404 .

[0052] During implementation, the support 404 is mounted on the bracket 401 , and the camera 403 is mounted on the support 404 . The support 404 serves to fix the camera 403 , and the camera 403 is used to shoot predetermined marking points.

[0053] This embodiment provides a robot arm including the liquid cooling plate picking device in the above embodiment. Since the liquid cooling plate picking device has been described in detail in the above embodiment, it will not be described again here.

[0054] During implementation, the liquid cooling plate picking device on the manipulator can pick up the liquid cooling plate, and the manipulator then transfers the liquid cooling plate on the liquid cooling plate picking device.

[0055] The above is a specific description of the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
