Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of appearance inspection equipment, and in particular to a Heatsink appearance inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] Radiators are an important and basic component of heating systems. Hot water is cooled inside the radiator (or steam condenses inside the radiator) to supply heat to the room, achieving the purpose of heating. The metal consumption and cost of radiators account for a considerable proportion of the heating system. Therefore, the correct selection of radiators affects the system's economic indicators and operational performance. The thickness of the radiator fins generally has certain specifications. If they are too thick or too thin, their heat dissipation efficiency will be affected. Therefore, the thickness of the radiator fins needs to be tested before they are put into use to avoid substandard fins affecting the radiator's use. In the current technology, the appearance of the radiator fins is generally inspected manually. This inspection method is inefficient and greatly increases the cost of radiator appearance inspection. It is also prone to misidentification and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Heatsink appearance inspection device, which has the advantages of simple structure and high inspection efficiency.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotating test bench includes a mounting base fixedly connected to the base and a rotating disk rotatably connected to the mounting base; a positioning block for positioning a heat sink is fixedly connected to the rotating disk; and a rotary drive motor for driving the rotating disk to rotate is fixedly connected to the mounting base.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the rotary drive motor is a stepper motor.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the clamping and conveying robot includes a robotic arm fixedly connected to the base and a mounting plate fixedly connected to the robotic arm, wherein a visual sensor for identifying the radiator and a first synchronous gripper for clamping the radiator are fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the film-tearing assembly includes a tearing lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the base in a vertical direction and a synchronous clamping cylinder fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the tearing lifting cylinder; the clamping end of the synchronous clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to a clamping block for clamping one end of the protective film; a collection cylinder for collecting the torn protective film is fixedly connected to the base; and a through groove is provided on the collection cylinder for the clamping block to pass through.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the clamping block is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves for increasing clamping stability.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the unloading conveying assembly includes an unloading conveying line fixedly connected to the bottom of the base in the horizontal direction and a vertical lifting slide fixedly connected to the base in the vertical direction, wherein the sliding end of the vertical lifting slide is fixedly connected to a second synchronous gripper for clamping the radiator and loosely placing the radiator on the unloading conveying line.

[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. A rotating test platform and side and bottom surface inspection components for visual inspection of the radiator's four sides and bottom surface are installed on the base. A clamping and conveying robot clamps and positions the radiator from the plate chain conveyor line onto the rotating test platform. A rotary drive motor drives the rotating disk and positioning block to rotate 90 degrees in a single rotation. The side surface inspection components then perform visual inspection on all four sides of the radiator. Subsequently, the clamping and conveying robot clamps the radiator from the rotating test platform to the film-tearing component. The film-tearing component uses a tearing lifting cylinder installed on the base, with a synchronous clamping cylinder at the extension end of the tearing lifting cylinder. A clamping block is also installed at the clamping end of the synchronous clamping cylinder. The clamping and conveying robot then moves the radiator... The material is conveyed to the top of the collection cylinder. A synchronous clamping cylinder drives a clamping block to clamp one end of the protective film. Then, a tearing and lifting cylinder drives the synchronous clamping cylinder to descend, thus tearing the protective film off the bottom of the radiator. Subsequently, a clamping and conveying robot transports the radiator to the bottom appearance inspection component for inspection. After inspection, the clamping and conveying robot transports the radiator to the second synchronous gripper. The second synchronous gripper clamps the radiator, and a vertical lifting slide drives the second synchronous gripper to descend. The second synchronous gripper then releases the radiator to the unloading conveyor line, thus completing the radiator inspection. The structure is simple, avoids the need for manual inspection of the radiator's appearance, greatly improves inspection efficiency, reduces the possibility of false inspections, and lowers the cost of appearance inspection.
