Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum radiator manufacturing technology, and specifically to an online testing device for aluminum radiator fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of aluminum radiators, anodizing is a key process to improve their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and heat dissipation performance. However, in existing technologies, aluminum radiators need to be fixed in a fixture to complete the electrolytic reaction before anodizing.

[0003] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the existing fixture has a planar frame structure, with at least one side equipped with a matrix of claw assemblies for suspending aluminum radiators. To accommodate aluminum radiators of different shapes, the claw assemblies employ a symmetrically placed elastic claw structure, utilizing the outward elastic force of the claws to suspend the aluminum radiators. However, the claws on the fixture are prone to damage after prolonged use, and damaged claws cannot suspend the aluminum radiators, leading to the radiators falling and being damaged. Therefore, the fixture needs to be inspected regularly. Currently, due to the lack of specialized inspection equipment, inspections are conducted manually, which is not only labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient, but also prone to errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an online testing device for aluminum radiator fixtures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an online inspection device for aluminum radiator fixtures, comprising a fixture positioning mechanism and a fixture inspection mechanism located on both sides of the fixture conveying line;

[0006] The fixture positioning mechanism includes a positioning frame, a position detection component mounted on the positioning frame for detecting whether the fixture has reached the detection position, and gripper components respectively mounted on both sides of the positioning frame for clamping the two sides of the fixture.

[0007] The fixture detection mechanism includes an X-axis linear module, a Z-axis linear module vertically mounted on the drive end of the X-axis linear module, a Y-axis cylinder horizontally mounted on the Z-axis linear module and pointing towards the fixture positioning mechanism, and a detection head mounted on the drive end of the Y-axis cylinder. The detection head includes a vertically placed mounting base and multiple first sensors mounted on the mounting base and corresponding to the number and position of the elastic claws for simultaneously detecting whether the heads of the elastic claws are damaged.

[0008] Preferably, the fixture testing mechanism further includes a testing frame; the testing frame is elongated or has a frame structure, and multiple testing heads are provided, arranged in a straight line at intervals on the elongated testing frame, or distributed in a matrix on the frame-structured testing frame.

[0009] Preferably, the connection between the mounting base and the first sensor is provided with an elongated groove; the first sensor is installed in the elongated groove by a locking member, and the horizontal position of the first sensor can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the locking member.

[0010] Preferably, the detection head further includes a second sensor disposed on the mounting base for detecting whether there is aluminum heat sink residue on the claw assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the position detection component includes a detection swing arm cylinder disposed on the top of the positioning frame, a detection arm disposed on the drive end of the detection swing arm cylinder, and a sensor disposed on the head of the detection arm.

[0012] Preferably, the gripper assembly includes a positioning swing arm cylinder disposed on the side of the positioning frame, a gripper arm disposed on the driving end of the positioning swing arm cylinder, and a gripper block disposed on the head of the gripper arm.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Appendix Figure 3 The online testing device for aluminum radiator fixtures of this utility model includes a fixture positioning mechanism 4 and a fixture testing mechanism 5 located on both sides of the fixture conveying line 3.

[0026] The fixture positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning frame 41, a position detection component 42 disposed on the positioning frame 41 for detecting whether the fixture 1 has reached the detection position, and gripper components 43 disposed on both sides of the positioning frame 41 for clamping the two sides of the fixture 1.

[0027] During operation: The fixture conveyor line 3 automatically transports the fixture 1 to the fixture online inspection device for online inspection. The fixture 1 is placed parallel to the conveying direction of the fixture conveyor line 3, with the side of the fixture 1 equipped with the claw assembly 11 facing the fixture inspection mechanism 5. When the fixture 1 arrives at the fixture online inspection device, the fixture positioning mechanism 4 first fixes the fixture 1 on the fixture conveyor line 3. Then, the fixture inspection mechanism 5 inspects the positioned fixture 1, specifically checking whether several claw assemblies 11 on the fixture 1 are damaged. Finally, the inspection information is sent to the fixture feeding equipment. If the head of a certain elastic claw 12 is found to be damaged, the fixture feeding equipment will not feed the corresponding part to avoid the aluminum heat sink 2 falling and being damaged.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the fixture detection mechanism 5 includes an X-axis linear module 51, a Z-axis linear module 52 vertically mounted on the drive end of the X-axis linear module 51, a Y-axis cylinder 53 horizontally mounted on the Z-axis linear module 52 and pointing towards the fixture positioning mechanism 4, and a detection head 55 mounted on the drive end of the Y-axis cylinder 53; the detection head 55 includes a vertically placed mounting base 551 and multiple first sensors 552 mounted on the mounting base 551 and corresponding to the number and position of the elastic claws 12 for simultaneously detecting whether the heads of the elastic claws 12 are damaged;

[0029] During operation: First, the X-axis linear module 51 drives the detection head 55 to move to the side of the fixture 1 where the claw assembly 11 is located. Then, the Y-axis cylinder 53 drives the detection head 55 to extend and approach the claw assembly 11 on the fixture 1. Then, the first sensor 552 detects whether the head of the elastic claw 12 is damaged. After the detection is completed, the X-axis linear module 51 drives the detection head 55 back to the initial position, so that the detection head 55 is misaligned with the fixture 1, which facilitates automatic feeding by the fixture feeding equipment. The Z-axis linear module 52 generally only adjusts the height of the detection head 55 to correspond with the claw assembly on the fixture when changing to a different model of fixture.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixture testing mechanism 5 also includes a testing frame 54; the testing frame 54 is elongated or has a frame structure, and multiple testing heads 55 are provided, arranged in a straight line at intervals on the elongated testing frame 54, or distributed in a matrix on the frame-structured testing frame 54, so that multiple heads can be tested at one time, thereby improving testing efficiency; in this embodiment, an elongated testing frame 54 is selected.

[0031] Furthermore, an elongated groove 553 is provided at the connection between the mounting base 551 and the first sensor 552; the first sensor 552 is installed in the elongated groove 553 by a locking member, and the horizontal position of the first sensor 552 can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the locking member, which facilitates installation.

[0032] Furthermore, the detection head 55 also includes a second sensor 554 disposed on the mounting base 551 for detecting whether there is any aluminum heat sink 2 remaining on the claw assembly 11; since aluminum heat sink 2 may occasionally not be removed from the fixture 1 in time, the second sensor 554 can detect whether there is any aluminum heat sink 2 remaining on the claw assembly 11, so as to avoid interference with the aluminum heat sink 2 that has not been removed during automatic feeding.

[0033] Furthermore, the first sensor 552 and the second sensor 554 are optical sensors, such as fiber optic sensors.

[0034] Furthermore, the position detection component 42 includes a detection swing arm cylinder 421 disposed on the top of the positioning frame 41, a detection arm 422 disposed on the driving end of the detection swing arm cylinder 421, and a sensor 423 disposed on the head of the detection arm 422. Since aluminum anodizing surface treatment is performed, a hook is provided on the top of the fixture 1. The detection arm 422 is driven to rotate by the detection swing arm cylinder 421, and the sensor 423 is used to sense the hook to determine whether the fixture 1 has reached the detection position.

[0035] Furthermore, the gripper assembly 43 includes a positioning swing arm cylinder 431 disposed on the side of the positioning frame 41, a gripper arm 432 disposed on the driving end of the positioning swing arm cylinder 431, and a gripping block 433 disposed on the head of the gripper arm 432; when the position detection assembly 42 detects that the fixture 1 has reached the detection position, the two gripper assemblies 43 simultaneously drive the gripper arm 432 to rotate through the positioning swing arm cylinder 431, and clamp the two sides of the positioning frame 41 through the gripping block 433 to achieve positioning.

[0036] Furthermore, the clamping surface of the clamping block 433 is provided with a rubber pad to provide a buffering effect and prevent the clamping block 433 from making rigid contact with the fixture 1, which would cause the fixture 1 to deform or be damaged.

[0037] Furthermore, the detection swing arm cylinder 421 and the positioning swing arm cylinder 431 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.

[0038] 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.
