[0038] In practical application, all driving parts or power sources in the system can be driven by gas or electricity.
[0039] The working principle of the system is as follows: initially, the incoming conveying belt 3 receives the fin tray 2 with the heat dissipation fins 10 from the upstream station and conveys it to the circulating conveying mechanism 4, and is conveyed to or grabbed by the lifting transplanting mechanism 5 to the receiving station; the fin tray 2 with the heat dissipation fins 10 at the receiving station is sent to the suction station by the circulating conveying mechanism 4, the heat dissipation fins 10 in the fin tray 2 at the suction station are sucked and placed into the fin clip 7 by the fin filling mechanism 6, and the empty fin tray 2 after the heat dissipation fins 10 are sucked is sent to the initial station by the circulating conveying mechanism 4 and lifted to the receiving station by the lifting transplanting mechanism 5 (so as to ensure the circulating feeding), and the taking and placing clip mechanism 8 clamps and places the fin clip 7 filled with the heat dissipation fins 10 to the next station to realize feeding.
[0040] The utility model has the advantages that:
[0041] 1. The automatic heat dissipation fin feeding system has high automation degree and high efficiency, and saves time and effort.

The fin clips 7 are arrayed and distributed, each fin clip 7 can accommodate hundreds of heat dissipation fins 10, and a square array (single layer) of fins can be grabbed and filled at one time through the four-axis robot 61 mechanism, so that the filling efficiency of the heat dissipation fins 10 is greatly improved; and the fins are transferred in the mode of vacuum adsorption and release, so that the reliability is good and the efficiency is high.
[0044] 4. The guide rail on the synchronous lifting support mechanism 11 gradually moves downward, and the height of the top heat dissipation fin 10 release and falling is always maintained at a reasonable distance, so that the heat dissipation fin 10 falling position is not in place or the edge is severely warped; a heat dissipation fin 10 is placed into the fin clip 7, and the micro-ejecting structure 63 immediately applies a downward force to the fin, so that if the heat dissipation fin 10 is not flat (for example, partially warped), it can be adjusted to a flat state, so that the orderliness of the heat dissipation fins 10 in the fin clip 7 is ensured.
[0045] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes, combinations or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
