They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model discloses an automated production line for automotive-grade module heat dissipation substrates, including: a feeding machine 1, a leveling machine 2, a stamping machine 3, a receiving and transmitting mechanism 4, a first conveyor belt 5, a detection device 6, a suction gripper 7, a transverse conveying mechanism 8, a substrate carrier 9, a mechanical gripper 10, a conveying component 11, and a pre-bending machine 12.

[0021] The feeding machine 1 is located at the feeding end of the leveling machine 2 and is used for feeding the product (automotive-grade module heat dissipation substrate, hereinafter referred to as heat dissipation substrate).

[0022] The leveling machine 2 is connected to the punching machine 3, the punching machine 3 is connected to the receiving and transmitting mechanism 4, and the first conveyor belt 5 is connected to the receiving and transmitting mechanism 4.

[0023] It should be noted that "connection" here refers to proximity in position, allowing substrate-type products to naturally enter from one structure to another. For example, after exiting the leveling machine 2, the heat dissipation substrate can naturally enter the stamping machine 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the leveling machine 2 uses upper and lower rollers to compress an uneven metal sheet, thereby achieving a smoothing effect. The leveling machine 2 in this embodiment can employ existing technology, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0025] Stamping is a manufacturing technology that uses the power of conventional or specialized stamping equipment to directly deform sheet metal within a die, thereby obtaining product parts with specific shapes, dimensions, and properties. The stamping machine 3 in this embodiment can employ existing technology, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0026] This embodiment uses two stamping devices: a stamping press 3 and a pre-bending machine 12. The stamping press 3 is equipped with a detachable stamping die 13. The pre-bending machine 12 is equipped with a detachable pre-bending die 14.

[0027] The detection device 6 is positioned above the first conveyor belt 5. When a product is conveyed from the first conveyor belt 5 directly below the detection device 6, the detection device 6 detects the product and sends a signal to the control system, which then controls the relevant structural actions. The first conveyor belt 5 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The detection device 6 can be an infrared sensor or a photoelectric sensor.

[0028] The transverse conveying mechanism 8 is located close to the detection device 6. The suction gripper 7 is located on the transverse conveying mechanism 8. The substrate carrier 9 is located below the transverse conveying mechanism 8 and faces the detection device 6. The conveying component 11 is connected to the substrate carrier 9 and passes through the pre-bending machine 12. The mechanical gripper 10 is located on the conveying component 11.

[0029] The suction gripper 7 is a suction cup type gripper, which can adopt existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The transverse conveying mechanism 8 can be a transverse translation mechanism, such as a slide rail slider structure and a slide table module. The suction gripper 7 is set at the end of a robotic arm, which is mounted on the transverse conveying mechanism 8 and can move laterally on the transverse conveying mechanism 8 to allow the suction gripper 7 to pick up the heat dissipation substrate. The transverse conveying mechanism 8 is set parallel to the conveyor 11. After the transverse conveying mechanism 8 picks up the product from the substrate carrier 9, it is sent to the conveyor 11. After entering the conveyor 11, the product is conveyed to the area of ​​the mechanical gripper 10 and clamped by the mechanical gripper 10. The conveyor 11 continues to convey the product and sends it to the pre-bending machine 12 for pre-bending. Optionally, the conveyor 11 is close to the substrate carrier 9, and the other end of the conveyor 11 is located inside the pre-bending machine 12. Optionally, several mechanical grippers 10 are provided and arranged in an array on the conveyor 11.

[0030] Furthermore, a second conveyor belt 15 is also provided behind the conveyor 11.

[0031] This utility model provides an automated production line for automotive-grade modular heat dissipation substrates. A feeder 1 delivers a strip of material to the inlet of a leveling machine 2. The leveling machine 2 levels the strip and then sends it to the center of the stamping die 13 of a stamping press 3. The stamping die 13 of the stamping press 3 plastically shapes the strip into a flat plate. A receiving and transmitting mechanism 4 extends into the stamping press 3 in rhythm with the die opening to receive the flat plate falling from the upper die. It exits the stamping press 3 before the die 13 closes, thus automatically receiving the flat plate while avoiding collisions and transmitting the well-shaped plate. The tablet is sent to the first conveyor belt 5 and then to the detection device 6. After stopping, it waits for the suction gripper 7 to pick up the tablet and send it to the substrate carrier 9 via the transverse conveyor mechanism 8. With the assistance of the detection device 6, the suction gripper 7 picks up the tablet from the substrate carrier 9 and sends it to the mechanical gripper 10 for clamping via the transverse conveyor mechanism 8. The tablet is then conveyed by the conveyor 11 to the pre-bending mold 14 of the pre-bending machine 12. After pre-bending by the pre-bending machine 12, the mechanical gripper 10 clamps the tablet and, together with the conveyor 11, conveys it to the second conveyor belt 15 for manual boxing.

[0032] This utility model provides an automated production line for automotive-grade module heat dissipation substrates, which is optimized into two main processes—flat plate stamping and flat plate pre-bending—without affecting the finished product. The process is simple and involves fewer steps.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0034] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
