[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Appendix Figure 1-10 The automatic feeding device for radiators used in aluminum anodizing surface treatment according to this utility model includes a feeding conveyor line 1, a material sorting unit 2, an arrangement unit 3, a handling robot 4, a fixture 5, a fixture conveyor line 6, and a fixture online detection station 7;

[0043] The feeding conveyor line 1 is used to receive aluminum radiators 8 and send aluminum radiators 8 to the sorting unit 2;

[0044] The material distribution unit 2 is used to send the aluminum heat sinks 8 conveyed on the feeding conveyor line 1 to the arrangement unit 3 one by one;

[0045] The arrangement unit 3 is used to arrange multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 in a straight line at intervals.

[0046] The fixture 5 has a planar frame structure and at least one side is provided with claw assemblies 51 arranged in a matrix for suspending the aluminum heat sink 8;

[0047] The fixture conveyor line 6 is used to transport the fixture 5 to the fixture online testing station 7;

[0048] The online fixture inspection station 7 includes a fixture positioning mechanism 71 and a fixture inspection mechanism 72 located on both sides of the fixture conveyor line 6, respectively. The fixture positioning mechanism 71 is used to fix the fixture 5 on the fixture conveyor line 6, while the fixture inspection mechanism 72 is used to inspect the positioned fixture 5, specifically to check whether there are any residual aluminum heat sinks 8 on several claw assemblies 51 that have not been removed and whether the claw assemblies 51 are damaged.

[0049] The handling robot 4 is used to simultaneously grab multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 from the arrangement unit 3 and suspend them onto multiple claw assemblies 51 of the fixture 5, including a robotic arm 41 and a gripper assembly 42 disposed at the drive end of the robotic arm 41.

[0050] During operation: Feeding conveyor 1 continuously feeds aluminum radiators 8 to sorting unit 2, which then feeds each aluminum radiator 8 to arranging unit 3. Arranging unit 3 then arranges multiple aluminum radiators 8 in a straight line at intervals. Meanwhile, fixture conveyor 6 transports fixture 5 to fixture online inspection station 7. Fixture 5 is placed parallel to the conveying direction of fixture conveyor 6, with the side of fixture 5 equipped with claw components 51 facing fixture inspection mechanism 72. When fixture 5 arrives at fixture online inspection station 7, fixture positioning mechanism 71 first fixes fixture 5 on fixture conveyor 6, and then fixture inspection mechanism 72 inspects the positioned fixture 5, specifically checking several claw components 51. Check for any remaining aluminum radiators 8 that have not been removed and for any damage to the gripper assembly 51. If an aluminum radiator 8 is detected on a gripper assembly 51, the corresponding station of the arrangement unit 3 will not be loaded to avoid interference. If the head of a certain elastic gripper 52 is damaged, the corresponding station of the arrangement unit 3 will not be loaded because it cannot suspend an aluminum radiator 8. After the inspection is completed, the robotic arm 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 to simultaneously grab multiple aluminum radiators 8 from the arrangement unit 3 and suspend them on multiple gripper assemblies 51 of the fixture 5 until the fixture 5 is full of aluminum radiators 8. Finally, the fixture conveyor line 6 will carry the fixture 5 out of the fixture online inspection station 7 for automatic loading of the next fixture 5.

[0051] Furthermore, the aluminum radiator 8 can be received by a robotic arm placing each aluminum radiator 8 onto the feeding conveyor line 1, or the feeding conveyor line 1 can be directly connected to the aluminum radiator 8 production line, with the production line directly transporting the aluminum radiator 8 onto the feeding conveyor line 1, achieving fully automatic connection. This eliminates the need for manual feeding, handling, and transfer processes, which not only reduces labor intensity but also improves work efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-4The material distribution unit 2 includes a material distribution platform 21 located between the feeding conveyor line 1 and the arrangement unit 3, a material distribution position 22 located on the material distribution platform 21 and at the discharge end of the feeding conveyor line 1, a loading position 23 located on one side of the material distribution position 22, a material distribution cylinder 24 located on the other side of the material distribution position 22 for pushing the aluminum heat sinks 8 one by one from the material distribution position 22 to the loading position 23, and a loading cylinder 25 located on the material distribution platform 21 for pushing the heat sinks from the loading position 23 to the arrangement unit 3.

[0053] When the feeding conveyor line 1 transports the aluminum radiator 8 to the sorting position 22, the sorting cylinder 24 first pushes the aluminum radiator 8 from the sorting position 22 to the loading position 23, and then the loading cylinder 25 pushes the radiator from the loading position 23 to the arrangement unit 3, thus realizing the sorting function and ensuring that only one aluminum radiator 8 enters the arrangement unit 3 at a time. It has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 The material distribution position 22 is provided with a limit plate 26 at the end opposite to the discharge end of the feeding conveyor line 1 and at the end opposite to the material loading position 23 and the material distribution cylinder 24. The limit plate 26 is provided at the end opposite to the discharge end of the feeding conveyor line 1 and the material distribution cylinder 24 when the feeding conveyor line 1 transports the aluminum heat sink 8 to the material distribution position 22 and when the material distribution cylinder 24 pushes the aluminum heat sink 8 from the material distribution position 22 to the material loading position 23.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 The arrangement unit 3 includes a linear module 31 that is placed horizontally and perpendicular to the feeding cylinder 25, a support platform 32 that is horizontally arranged on the driving end of the linear module 31 and flush with the material distribution platform 21, and a plurality of dividing blocks 33 that are evenly spaced on the support platform 32 to form a plurality of positioning grooves 34.

[0056] During operation: The linear module 31 drives the carrier platform 32 to move horizontally, so that multiple positioning slots 34 are aligned with the loading position 23 one by one. The loading cylinder 25 pushes the heat sink from the loading position 23 into the positioning slot 34. If an aluminum heat sink 8 is detected on a certain claw assembly 51, or if the head of a certain elastic claw 52 is damaged, the corresponding positioning slot 34 skips loading and is in an empty state.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 The plurality of dividing blocks 33 are provided with a chamfer at one end near the material distribution unit 2 and a positioning plate 35 at the other end away from the material distribution unit 2. When feeding, the positioning plate 35 can position the aluminum heat sink 8 in the positioning groove 34, while the chamfer design serves as a guide to facilitate the aluminum heat sink 8 entering the positioning groove 34.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 5The aforementioned claw assembly 51 includes two pairs of elastic claws 52 that are distributed vertically and symmetrically. The elastic claws 52 are used to suspend the aluminum heat sink 8 by the outward elastic force. In order to adapt to aluminum heat sinks 8 of different shapes, the existing fixture 5 adopts an elastic claw structure. When loading, it is necessary to press the claw assembly 51 to make the heads of the elastic claws 52 close to each other so that the aluminum heat sink 8 can be installed.

[0059] like Figure 6 The gripper assembly 42 includes a fixed base 421, a movable base 422 placed parallel to the fixed base 421, a telescopic cylinder 423 disposed on the fixed base 421 for driving the movable base 422 to move closer to or away from the fixed base 421, a plurality of guide posts 424 disposed on the movable base 422 and passing through the fixed base 421, a plurality of gripper cylinders 425 disposed on the movable base 422 for simultaneously gripping a plurality of aluminum heat sinks 8, and a pressing mechanism 426 disposed on the fixed base 421 and located on both sides of the plurality of gripper cylinders 425 for pressing the gripper assembly 51 to bring the heads of the elastic gripper 52 closer to each other.

[0060] When the robotic arm 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 to simultaneously grab multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 from the arrangement unit 3, the multiple gripper cylinders 425 can directly grip the multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 respectively.

[0061] When the robotic arm 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 to suspend multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 onto the multiple gripper assemblies 51 of the fixture 5: firstly, the pressing mechanism 426 presses the gripper assembly 51 to bring the heads of the elastic grippers 52 closer together; then, the telescopic cylinder 423 drives the movable seat 422 to extend multiple gripper cylinders 425, so that the heads of the elastic grippers 52 are inside the aluminum heat sinks 8; then, the pressing mechanism 426 releases the gripper assembly 51, and the aluminum heat sinks 8 are suspended by the outward elastic force of the elastic grippers 52; finally, the multiple gripper cylinders 425 release the multiple aluminum heat sinks 8 respectively, and at the same time, the telescopic cylinder 423 drives the movable seat 422 to retract the multiple gripper cylinders 425 back to the initial position, completing the loading operation.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 The extrusion mechanism 426 includes a rotating shaft 4261 placed parallel to the movable seat 422, a plurality of V-shaped connecting rods 4262 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 4261 and offset from the gripper cylinder 425, a connecting shaft 4263 for connecting the upper ends of the plurality of V-shaped connecting rods 4262, a pressure shaft 4264 for connecting the lower ends of the plurality of V-shaped connecting rods 4262, and an extrusion cylinder 4265 hinged to the side of the fixed seat 421 and whose drive end is connected to the connecting shaft 4263; the distance from the gripper cylinder 425 to the fixed seat 421 is less than the distance from the pressure shaft 4264 to the fixed seat 421;

[0063] During operation: The compression cylinder 4265 drives the connecting shaft 4263 to lower the upper ends of multiple V-shaped connecting rods 4262. Since the V-shaped connecting rods 4262 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 4261, the lower ends of the multiple V-shaped connecting rods 4262 drive the pressure shaft 4264 to press the claw assembly 51, causing the heads of the elastic claws 52 to move closer to each other, which facilitates the loading operation.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 The fixture positioning mechanism 71 includes a positioning frame 711, a position detection component 712 disposed on the positioning frame 711 for detecting whether the fixture 5 has reached the detection position, and positioning components 713 disposed on both sides of the positioning frame 711 for clamping the fixture 5 on both sides. During operation: first, the position detection component 712 detects whether the fixture 5 has reached the detection position. If the fixture 5 has reached the detection position, the positioning components 713 on both sides clamp the fixture 5 to achieve positioning.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 The position detection component 712 includes a detection swing arm cylinder 7121 disposed on the top of the positioning frame 711, a detection arm 7122 disposed on the driving end of the detection swing arm cylinder 7121, and a sensor 7123 disposed on the head of the detection arm 7122. Since aluminum anodizing surface treatment is performed, a hook is provided on the top of the fixture 5. The detection arm 7122 is driven to rotate by the detection swing arm cylinder 7121, and the sensor 7123 is used to sense the hook to determine whether the fixture 5 has reached the detection position.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 The positioning component 713 includes a positioning swing arm cylinder 7131 disposed on the side of the positioning frame 711, a clamping arm 7132 disposed on the driving end of the positioning swing arm cylinder 7131, and a clamping block 7133 disposed on the head of the clamping arm 7132. When the position detection component 712 detects that the fixture 5 has reached the detection position, the two positioning components 713 simultaneously drive the clamping arm 7132 to rotate through the positioning swing arm cylinder 7131, and clamp the two sides of the positioning frame 711 through the clamping block 7133 to achieve positioning.

[0067] Furthermore, the detection swing arm cylinder 7121 and the positioning swing arm cylinder 7131 are both existing technologies. For details, please refer to the metal drilling clamping fixture and clamping cylinder disclosed in CN202222376601.5. Therefore, their structures will not be described in detail.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 9-10The fixture detection mechanism 72 includes an X-axis linear module 721 placed parallel to the fixture conveyor line 6, a Z-axis linear module 722 vertically arranged on the drive end of the X-axis linear module 721, a Y-axis cylinder 723 horizontally and vertically arranged on the Z-axis linear module 722 and pointing towards the fixture positioning mechanism 71, and a detection head 725 arranged on the drive end of the Y-axis cylinder 723. The detection head 725 includes a vertically placed mounting base 7251, a first sensor 7252 arranged on the mounting base 7251 for detecting whether there is aluminum heat sink 8 residue on the claw assembly 51, and multiple second sensors 7253 arranged on the mounting base 7251 and corresponding to the number and position of the elastic claws 52 for simultaneously detecting whether the head of the elastic claws 52 is damaged.

[0069] During operation: First, the X-axis linear module 721 drives the detection head 725 to move to the side of the fixture 5 where the gripper assembly 51 is located. Then, the Y-axis cylinder 723 drives the detection head 725 to extend and approach the gripper assembly 51 on the fixture 5. Then, the first sensor 7252 detects whether there is any aluminum heat sink 8 residue on the gripper assembly 51, and the second sensor 7253 simultaneously detects whether the head of the elastic gripper 52 is damaged. After the detection is completed, the X-axis linear module 721 drives the detection head 725 back to the initial position, so that the detection head 725 is misaligned with the fixture 5, which facilitates the loading of materials by the handling robot 4. The Z-axis linear module 722 generally only adjusts the height of the detection head 725 to correspond with the gripper assembly 51 on the fixture 5 when changing to a different model of fixture 5.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 The fixture testing mechanism 72 further includes a testing frame 724; the testing frame 724 is elongated or has a frame structure, and multiple testing heads 725 are provided, which are arranged in a straight line at intervals on the elongated testing frame 724, or distributed in a matrix on the frame-structured testing frame 724, so that multiple heads can be tested at one time, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, the first sensor 7252 and the second sensor 7253 are optical sensors, such as fiber optic sensors.

[0072] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
