Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the automotive radiator loading and unloading mechanism of this utility model includes: a robotic arm 1, with a base frame 2 rotatably mounted on the shaft end of the robotic arm 1; a clamping mechanism, which has a first clamping unit 31 and a second clamping unit 32 disposed on both sides of the base frame 2, the first clamping unit 31 being used to grab unplated automotive radiators 4 and place them into the hanger 5, and the second clamping unit 32 being used to grab and unload the electroplated automotive radiators 4 from the hanger 5; and a wiping mechanism 6, which is disposed on the side wall of the base frame 2, and the wiping mechanism 6 includes at least a cleaning cloth disposed on the base frame 2 for wiping the empty hanger 5.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 The base frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft end of the robot arm 1. The base frame 2 is driven to rotate at the shaft end of the robot arm 1 by means of a servo motor mounted on the shaft end of the robot arm 1. The base frame 2 has a rectangular frame structure, with a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall and a fourth side wall that are adjacent to each other in sequence. The first gripping unit 31 is mounted on the first side wall, the wiping mechanism 6 is mounted on the second side wall, and the second gripping unit 32 is mounted on the third side wall.

[0023] Specifically, when unloading the electroplated car radiator 4 from the hanger 5 and repositioning the unplated car radiator 4, the robot arm 1 first controls the first gripping unit 31 of the base frame 2 to grip the stacked unplated car radiator 4. Then, the robot arm 1 controls the base frame 2 to rotate and move above the hanger 5, allowing the second gripping unit 32 to extend into the hanger 5 to grip the electroplated car radiator 4 inside the hanger 5. Subsequently, the robot arm 1 flips the base frame 2 to allow the wiping mechanism 6 to extend into the hanger 5 and wipe it. After wiping, the robot arm 1 controls the base frame 2 to flip and control... The first clamping unit 31 and the unplated car radiator 4 clamped by the first clamping unit 31 are inserted into the hanger 5 and placed in a predetermined position. This method has the characteristics of high efficiency in picking up and placing car radiators 4, high degree of mechanization, simple structure, convenient operation, and practicality. In addition, after the electroplated car radiator 4 is taken out, the internal cavity of the hanger 5 can be wiped by the wiping mechanism 6 before the unplated car radiator 4 is put into it, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the hanger 5 and improve the electroplating effect of the car radiator 4.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, the first gripping unit 31 and the second gripping unit 32 have the same structure. The first gripping unit 31 or the second gripping unit 32 includes a first cylinder 33 disposed on the side of the base frame 2 and a gripper cylinder 34 driven by the first cylinder 33.

[0025] See Figures 3 to 5 The first clamping unit 31 and the second clamping unit 32 have the same structure, differing only in their function and installation position. The first clamping unit 31 is used to grip the unplated automotive radiator 4 and place it into the hanger 5. The first clamping unit 31 is located on the first side wall of the base frame 2. The second clamping unit 32 is used to remove the electroplated automotive radiator 4 from the hanger 5 and unload it. The second clamping unit 32 is located on the third side wall of the base frame 2. Both the first clamping unit 31 and the second clamping unit 32 include at least a first cylinder 33 mounted on the base frame 2 and a gripper cylinder 34 driven by the first cylinder 33. It should be noted that the gripper cylinder 34 has two sets of grippers for gripping the automotive radiator 4, and the first cylinder 33 is used to drive the gripper cylinder 34 to extend into or retract from the hanger 5.

[0026] In one or more embodiments, the gripper cylinder 34 has two sets of grippers with receiving grooves 341 on the inner side for accommodating the side wall of the car heat sink 4.

[0027] See Figure 4The gripper cylinder 34 has two sets of grippers with receiving grooves 341 inside. When the gripper cylinder 34 uses the grippers to grab the car heat sink 4, the side of the car heat sink 4 will enter the receiving groove 341, so as to further improve the stability of the car heat sink 4 in this application and reduce the possibility of the car heat sink 4 falling off during the base frame 2 flipping process.

[0028] In one or more embodiments, the wiping mechanism 6 further includes an adjustment structure 61 disposed on the side of the base frame 2 along the length direction of the base frame 2, a base 62 driven by the adjustment structure 61, and a bracket 63 detachably disposed below the base 62, wherein the cleaning cloth is disposed on the bottom surface of the bracket 63; the adjustment structure 61 is a second cylinder disposed on the side of the base frame 2, and the base 62 is disposed at the protruding shaft end of the second cylinder.

[0029] See Figures 3 to 5 The adjustment mechanism is a second cylinder. The extended shaft end of the second cylinder is equipped with a base 62, and the bottom of the base 62 is detachably equipped with a bracket 63. The cleaning cloth is placed on the bracket 63. When the cleaning cloth on the bracket 63 enters the hanger 5, the second cylinder controls the movement of the base 62 and the bracket 63, which can adjust the position of the cleaning cloth in the hanger 5. At the same time, the robot arm 1 controls the movement of the base frame 2, which can move the cleaning cloth in the hanger 5, so as to clean the inside of the hanger 5. It has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient operation, and is practical.

[0030] In one or more embodiments, a limiting groove is provided on the bottom surface of the base 62, and the bracket 63 is connected to the base 62 through the limiting groove. The base 62 and the bracket 63 are limited and locked by means of a pin.

[0031] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 The limiting slide groove is roughly T-shaped. The T-shaped protrusion on the top of the bracket 63 slides within the limiting slide groove on the bottom surface of the base 62. At the same time, the pin that passes through the base 62 and the bracket 63 is used to fix the positions of the base 62 and the bracket 63. When the wiping cloth needs to be replaced, the pin is removed to unlock the bracket 63 from the base 62.

[0032] In one or more embodiments, the robotic arm 1 is driven to move by the linear module 7. See also Figure 1 This configuration increases the working range of the robotic arm 1, thereby increasing the range of loading and unloading of automotive heat sinks 4.

[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
