Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive heat sink processing technology, and in particular to a heat sink cleaning and drying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive radiators are devices used to dissipate heat from easily heated components in a car. They are typically made of aluminum alloy, brass, or bronze and can be in the form of plates, sheets, or multiple sheets. During the production process, radiators often undergo electroplating, a process that uses electrolysis to deposit a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals. This process uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing corrosion, improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, and enhancing aesthetics. This process can effectively improve the performance and appearance of automotive parts.

[0003] The car radiator is placed in an electroplating rack. After electroplating, it needs to be removed from the rack, cleaned and dried, and finally put into the packaging area for packaging.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a heat sink cleaning and drying mechanism to accelerate the cleaning and drying efficiency of automotive heat sinks and improve their production and processing speed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat sink cleaning and drying mechanism that can automatically clean and dry heat sinks and improve their cleaning and drying efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a heat sink cleaning and drying mechanism, including a heat sink loading assembly, a heat sink unloading assembly, an empty frame return assembly, and a drying production line and a cleaning production line arranged parallel from top to bottom; the heat sink loading assembly includes a lifting assembly one and a lifting assembly two arranged opposite to each other, with an upper conveyor belt and a loading roller line arranged parallel to each other between the lifting assembly one and the lifting assembly two to move the heat sinks placed in the frame to the cleaning production line; a lifting assembly three is arranged on the side of the cleaning production line away from the lifting assembly two to move the cleaned heat sinks to the drying production line for drying; the heat sink unloading assembly includes a lifting assembly four and a unloading conveyor belt that moves the heat sinks on the drying production line to the unloading workbench; the empty frame return assembly includes an empty frame return conveyor belt located below the unloading conveyor belt and arranged parallel to it, with the end of the empty frame return conveyor belt away from the unloading workbench connected to the end of the loading roller line near the cleaning production line.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the lifting components—first, second, third, and fourth—includes a lifting protective frame and a lifting support that moves up and down along the lifting protective frame via a lifting drive component. The lifting support is equipped with a lifting roller line. The lifting roller line on the lifting support can drive the heat sink placed within the frame to move upwards, and under the driving action of the lifting roller line, it is transferred from the lifting roller line to the upper conveyor belt. The entire process is achieved by the lifting assembly and the upper conveyor belt working together to realize the automatic feeding and handling of the heat sink.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly includes a lifting drive motor, gears, and a drive chain. A lifting belt is fitted onto the gears, and one side of the lifting belt passes sequentially through the inner top wall of the lifting protective frame and the lifting support. The lifting drive motor provides power for the up-and-down movement of the lifting roller line. In some embodiments, the lifting drive motor is a drive motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting protective frame on the second lifting component is arranged to run through the length of the cleaning line. The second lifting component is also provided with a fixed roller line located below the lifting roller line. The fixed roller line is at the same height as the feeding roller line so that the empty frame flowing into the fixed roller line can be conveyed to the feeding roller line. The fourth lifting component has the same structure as the second lifting component.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper conveyor belt is divided into two sections at different heights by a lowering assembly. The lowering assembly includes a feeding bracket, a lowering cylinder, and a feeding roller line. The lowering cylinder is vertically arranged, and its piston rod can extend and retract to drive the feeding roller line to move up and down. The feeding roller line receiving the heat sink is driven by the lowering cylinder to move downwards until its height is consistent with the section of the upper conveyor belt near the second lifting assembly, thereby accurately conveying the heat sink to the lifting roller line on the second lifting assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding conveyor belt includes feeding conveyor belt one and feeding conveyor belt two, and the empty frame return conveyor belt includes empty frame return belt one and empty frame return belt two, which are parallel to feeding conveyor belt one and feeding conveyor belt two, respectively. The feeding conveyor belt one and feeding conveyor belt two are connected end to end by feeding roller line assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding roller assembly includes a feeding roller support and an upper feeding roller and a lower return roller arranged parallel to each other inside it.

[0013] Furthermore, an empty frame return lifting component is provided at the end of the feeding conveyor belt and the empty frame return conveyor belt away from the cleaning line.

[0014] Furthermore, the empty frame return lifting assembly includes a return protective frame, a lifting cylinder, and a return lifting roller line located at the top of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. After the empty frame containing the heat sink has been removed from the unloading conveyor belt, it continues to move to the return lifting roller line under its conveying action. At this time, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder retracts, driving the lifting roller line containing the empty frame downwards until it is flush with the empty frame return conveyor belt, and transferring the empty frame onto the empty frame return conveyor belt. This, together with the empty frame return conveyor belt and the unloading roller line, forms an automatic return of the empty frame, facilitating the reuse of the empty frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of lifting component two and lifting component four are connected by an empty frame return conveyor belt three. This allows the empty frames returning to the empty frame return conveyor belt three to be conveyed to the feeding roller line after passing through the fixed roller line on lifting component two, thus enabling reuse on the heat sink carrier.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] In this invention, the feeding roller line, the upper conveyor belt, the cleaning production line, the drying production line, the unloading conveyor belt, and the empty frame return belt cooperate with each other to form two non-interfering conveying routes in the cleaning and drying mechanism. This not only enables automatic cleaning and drying of the heat sink, but also improves the recycling efficiency of the empty frame, thereby further improving the cleaning and drying efficiency.

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See appendix Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a heat sink cleaning and drying mechanism in this embodiment includes a heat sink loading assembly, a heat sink unloading assembly, an empty frame return assembly, and a drying production line 2 and a cleaning production line 1 arranged in parallel from top to bottom.

[0027] See appendix Figure 1 The cleaning line 1 is horizontally set below the drying line 2. The heat sinks placed in the frame enter the cleaning line 1 through the cleaning line inlet 8, and the cleaning machine automatically cleans the heat sinks. The cleaned heat sinks are transferred to the drying line 2 for automatic drying. The heat sinks placed in the frame and dried are then fed into the frame and returned to the empty frame under the cooperation of the heat sink feeding component and the empty frame return component, so that the empty frame can be reused.

[0028] Specifically, the heat sink loading assembly includes a lifting component 4 and a lifting component 10 arranged opposite to each other. A conveyor belt 5 and a loading roller line 3 are arranged parallel to each other between the lifting component 4 and the lifting component 10 to transfer the heat sinks placed in the frames to the cleaning line 1. After electroplating, the heat sinks are placed into empty frames on the loading roller line 3. Each empty frame can hold 4 or 6 heat sinks, resulting in higher efficiency during subsequent cleaning or drying.

[0029] Lifting components 1 (4), 2 (10), 3 (11), and 4 (12) each include a lifting protective frame 41 and a lifting support 42 that moves up and down along the lifting protective frame 41 via a lifting drive assembly 44. The lifting support 42 is equipped with a lifting roller line 43. The lifting drive assembly 44 includes a lifting drive motor 441, a gear 443, and a drive chain 442. A lifting belt 444 is fitted onto the gear 443, and one side of the lifting belt 444 passes sequentially through the inner top wall of the lifting protective frame 41 and the lifting support 42.

[0030] The feeding roller line 3 transfers multiple heat sinks placed in the frame to the lifting roller line. The lifting drive motor 441 starts working and drives the lifting roller line to move upward until it is at the same height as the upper conveyor belt 5, so that the lifting roller line can transport the heat sinks on it to the upper conveyor belt 5, realizing the automatic handling of the heat sinks. The lifting drive motor 441 is specifically a lifting drive motor.

[0031] In some embodiments, the upper conveyor belt 5 is divided into two sections of different heights by a lowering component 6, wherein the section closer to the lifting component 10 is lower than the other section, in order to adapt to the overall installation layout of the washing line 1 and the drying line 2.

[0032] The lowering assembly 6 includes a feeding bracket 62, a lowering cylinder 63, and a feeding roller line 61. The lowering cylinder 63 is vertically arranged, and its piston rod can extend and retract to drive the feeding roller line 61 to move up and down. The lowering cylinder 63 drives the feeding roller line 61, which receives the heat sink, to move downward until its height is consistent with the upper conveyor belt 5 near the lifting assembly 2 10, thereby accurately conveying the heat sink to the lifting roller line on the lifting assembly 2 10.

[0033] The lifting roller line on the lifting component 2 10 drives the heat sink and the frame holding the heat sink downward to the cleaning line inlet 8, so that the heat sink and the frame holding it can accurately and automatically enter the cleaning production line 1.

[0034] Specifically, a feeding support plate 64 is also provided on the feeding bracket 62, and a lowering cylinder 63 is vertically installed on the feeding support plate 64. Multiple feeding guide columns 65 are connected to the four corner bearings on the feeding support plate 64. The top of each feeding guide column 65 is fixedly connected to the feeding roller line 61 to ensure the stability of the feeding roller line 61 moving up and down.

[0035] A lifting assembly 3 11 is provided on the side of the cleaning production line 1 away from the lifting assembly 2 10 to transfer the cleaned heat sinks to the drying production line 2 for drying. The heat sink unloading assembly includes a lifting assembly 4 12 and a unloading conveyor belt that transfers the heat sinks on the drying production line 2 to the unloading manual table 15. The lifting protective frame 41 on the lifting assembly 2 10 is arranged through the length of the cleaning production line 1. The lifting assembly 2 10 is also provided with a fixed roller line 7 located below the lifting roller line. The fixed roller line 7 is at the same height as the loading roller line 3 so that the empty frames flowing into the fixed roller line 7 can be conveyed to the loading roller line 3. The lifting assembly 4 12 has the same structure as the lifting assembly 2 10.

[0036] See appendix Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the straight line along the length of the feeding roller line 3 is perpendicular to the straight line along the length of the cleaning line 1. Lifting assembly 2 10 and lifting assembly 3 11 are located at opposite ends of the length of the cleaning line 1. The heat sink placed in the frame enters the cleaning line 1 through the cleaning line inlet 8 near the lifting assembly 2 10 via the upper conveyor belt 5, the lowering assembly 6, and the lifting assembly 2 10. After cleaning, it enters the lifting roller line on the lifting assembly 3 11 and is then driven upward by the lifting drive assembly 44 to the drying line 2. It then enters the drying line 2 through the drying line inlet 9 for automatic drying.

[0037] Specifically, the cleaning production line 1 includes several cleaning machines and a cleaning conveyor line, and the drying production line 2 includes several dryers and a drying conveyor line. The cleaning conveyor line and the drying conveyor line realize the automatic conveying of the heat sink after it has been cleaned and dried in the cleaning machine or the dryer.

[0038] The empty frame return assembly includes an empty frame return conveyor belt located below and parallel to the unloading conveyor belt. The end of the empty frame return conveyor belt away from the unloading worktable 15 is connected to the end of the loading roller line 3 near the washing production line 1, thus forming two non-interfering conveying routes in the washing and drying mechanism.

[0039] Specifically, the unloading conveyor belt carries the cleaned and dried heat sinks placed in the frame to the unloading worktable 15. The workers take out the heat sinks from the frame and pack them. The empty frame is then returned to its initial position by the empty frame return conveyor belt, which is parallel to the unloading conveyor belt and in the opposite direction to the unloading conveyor belt, so as to facilitate the reuse of the empty frame.

[0040] The feeding conveyor belt includes feeding conveyor belt one 13 and feeding conveyor belt two 18. The empty frame return conveyor belt includes empty frame return belt one and empty frame return belt two, which are parallel to feeding conveyor belt one 13 and feeding conveyor belt two 18, respectively. The feeding conveyor belt one 13 and feeding conveyor belt two 18 are connected end to end by feeding roller line assembly 14. This facilitates the movement and transportation of heat sinks.

[0041] The feeding roller assembly 14 includes a feeding roller support and an upper feeding roller 141 and a lower return roller 142 arranged parallel to each other inside it. The upper feeding roller 141 is connected to feeding conveyor line one and feeding conveyor line two, and the lower return roller 142 is connected to empty frame return conveyor belt one 17 and empty frame return conveyor belt two 19 to ensure the stability of the heat sink or empty frame during the moving and transporting process.

[0042] An empty frame return lifting assembly 16 is installed at the end of the unloading conveyor belt and the empty frame return conveyor belt away from the cleaning line 1. The empty frame return lifting assembly 16 includes a return protection frame 163, a lifting cylinder 161, and a return lifting roller line 162 located at the top of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 161. The empty frame, after the heat sink has been removed from the unloading conveyor belt, continues to move to the return lifting roller line 162 under its conveying action. At this time, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 161 retracts, driving the lifting roller line with the empty frame to move downward until it is flush with the empty frame return conveyor belt 19, and transferring the empty frame to the empty frame return conveyor belt 19. This, together with the empty frame return conveyor belt 17, the empty frame return conveyor belt 20, and the loading roller line 3, forms an automatic return of empty frames, facilitating the reuse of empty frames.

[0043] The bottom of lifting component 2 10 and lifting component 4 12 are connected by empty frame return conveyor belt 3 20. The empty frame returning to the empty frame return conveyor belt 3 20 is conveyed to the feeding roller line 3 after passing through the fixed roller line 7 on lifting component 2 10, so as to realize the reuse of the heat sink carrier.
