Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot gripper technology, and in particular to a honeycomb heat sink gripping device for industrial robots. Background Technology
[0002] A heat sink is a device used to dissipate heat from heat-generating electronic components in electrical appliances. It is typically made of aluminum alloy, brass, or bronze and can be in the form of plates, sheets, or multiple sheets. The heat sink's function is to dissipate heat generated by the heat-generating object into the surrounding air, acting as a heat conduction channel in air-cooled radiators. With continuous technological advancements, honeycomb through-hole heat dissipation structures offer unique advantages. Utilizing a top-and-bottom through-hole design, hot air can quickly dissipate through the holes, better conforming to the principles of air convection and accelerating the airflow between the heat sink and the radiator, effectively improving heat dissipation performance. The application of honeycomb panels is becoming increasingly widespread. However, in production, honeycomb heat sinks are lightweight, have inconsistent honeycomb structure dimensions, are thin, and have low strength, making automated handling difficult. Traditional production relies on manual loading and unloading, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, harsh working environments, and high production costs.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a honeycomb heat sink gripping device for industrial robots to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The translation mechanism includes a connecting plate and connecting blocks symmetrically slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate; the bottom of the connecting blocks is fixedly connected to the gripping mechanism; the bottom of the connecting plate is provided with a driving component for driving the two connecting blocks closer or further apart between the two connecting blocks.
[0007] The bottom of the connecting plate is provided with an installation groove; a guide rail is fixed in the installation groove; the top of the connecting block is slidably connected to the guide rail by a slider; and the two ends of the bottom of the connecting plate are provided with limiting mechanisms for limiting the position of the connecting block.
[0008] The drive assembly is a double-stroke cylinder; the moving ends of the double-stroke cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to two connecting blocks.
[0009] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting block located at the bottom edge of the connecting plate and a limiting screw threaded onto the limiting block.
[0010] The gripping mechanism includes a body; the top of the body has a cavity and the bottom has a mounting cavity; the cavity and the mounting cavity are sealed by a cover plate and a pressure plate, respectively; the needle clamping assembly includes a sliding seat; the sliding seat is movably connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity and the pressure plate; a needle clamping pin is fixed at the center of the bottom of the sliding seat; the pressure plate has a movement hole for the needle clamping pin to move; the center of the mounting cavity has a through hole connected to the cavity; the cavity has an elastic component that passes through the through hole and connects to the top of the needle clamping pin.

[0012] The elastic component includes a tension spring and a pull rope; the tension spring is fixed inside the cavity; one end of the pull rope is connected to the tension spring, and the other end passes through the through hole and is connected to the top of the clamping needle.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the gripping mechanism 2, the bottom of the connecting plate 11 is provided with an installation groove; a guide rail 14 is fixed in the installation groove; the top of the connecting block 12 is slidably connected to the guide rail 14 by a slider; and the two ends of the bottom of the connecting plate 11 are provided with limiting mechanisms 4 for limiting the position of the connecting block 12.
[0029] Furthermore, in order to ensure the synchronization of the movement of the two gripping mechanisms 2, the drive assembly 13 is a double-stroke cylinder; the moving ends of the double-stroke cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks 12.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the movement stroke of the connecting block 12, the limiting mechanism 4 includes a limiting block 41 located at the bottom edge of the connecting plate 11 and a limiting screw 42 threadedly connected to the limiting block 41.
[0031] Furthermore, to ensure the flexibility of the needle clamping assembly 3, the gripping mechanism 2 includes a body 21; the top of the body 21 is provided with a cavity, and the bottom is provided with a mounting cavity; the cavity and the mounting cavity are respectively sealed by a cover plate 22 and a pressure plate 23; the needle clamping assembly 3 includes a sliding seat 31; the sliding seat 31 is movably connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity and the pressure plate 23; a needle clamping 32 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the sliding seat 31; the pressure plate 23 is provided with a movement hole for the needle clamping 32 to move; the center of the mounting cavity is provided with a through hole connected to the cavity; an elastic component 5 is provided inside the cavity, passing through the through hole and connected to the top of the needle clamping 32.
[0032] Furthermore, the top and bottom edges of the sliding seat 31 are provided with annular grooves; the annular grooves are provided with ball bearings 33, thereby improving the flexibility of the sliding seat 31's movement.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the drive assembly 13 is closed, the needle clamping assembly 3 is located at the center of the mounting cavity. At this time, the moving gripper inserts the probe into the honeycomb hole of the honeycomb heat sink. If the probe touches the honeycomb heat sink, the probe deflects and inserts into the holes on both sides of the honeycomb heat sink. Then the drive assembly 13 opens, and the probe contacts the side of the honeycomb heat sink. Under the action of the spring force, the honeycomb heat sink is supported. At this time, the contact friction between the probe and the honeycomb heat sink is greater than the weight of the honeycomb heat sink itself. The gripper stably grasps the heat sink and moves it to the unloading position. The drive assembly 13 closes again, the probe separates from the heat sink, and the heat sink falls under its own weight.
