[0026] The handling system 100 of this invention is applicable to picking up and placing an item B disposed in an immersion cooling device A. Item B includes an auxiliary holding structure B1. The item B is, for example, a server, and the auxiliary holding structure B1 may be, for example, a frame additionally disposed on the outside of the server. The auxiliary holding structure B1 is mainly used to cooperate with the handling system 100, enabling the handling system 100 to use the auxiliary holding structure B1 to firmly grasp and accurately place item B.

[0027] An immersion cooling device A may include, for example, a cooling tank A1 containing coolant. An item B to be cooled is placed in the cooling tank A1, and the coolant in the cooling tank A1 dissipates heat from the item B. In the example where item B is a server, the cooling tank A1 may also contain at least one connector for interlocking with the connector of the server (item B) placed in the cooling tank A1. The connector in the cooling tank A1 provides power to the server, and the server can receive or transmit data through the connector in the cooling tank A1.

[0028] The material handling system 100 includes: a processing unit 1, a track 2, and at least one transport vehicle 3. The processing unit 1 may include, for example, an industrial computer. The track 2 is positioned above the immersion cooling equipment A. The processing unit 1 can control the movement of the transport vehicle 3 along the track 2. In practice, the material handling system 100 may include multiple transport vehicles 3, with the processing unit 1 communicating with multiple transport vehicles 3, and the processing unit 1 can control any one of the transport vehicles 3 to move along the track 2 to a specific location.

[0029] The transport vehicle 3 includes: a processor 30, a vehicle body 31, a first moving mechanism 32, a second moving mechanism 33, a holding mechanism 34, and a sensor 35. The processor 30 is disposed on the vehicle body 31 and is communicatively connected to a processing device 1. The processor 30 can control the first moving mechanism 32, the second moving mechanism 33, and the holding mechanism 34 based on information transmitted from the processing device 1. In other words, the processing device 1 can control the first moving mechanism 32, the second moving mechanism 33, and the holding mechanism 34 through the processor 30 of the transport vehicle 3. The vehicle body 31 can be controlled to move along the track 2. The vehicle body 31 is provided with a drive module (including components such as a motor, gears, and belts, but not limited to these), wheels, and other mechanical components that enable the vehicle body 31 to move along the track 2.

[0030] The first moving mechanism 32 is connected to the vehicle body 31 and is electrically or communicatively connected to the processing device 1. The second moving mechanism 33 is connected to the first moving mechanism 32. In one example, the first moving mechanism 32 may include a drive module 321 and multiple overhead belts 322. The drive module 321 is fixed to the vehicle body 31. The drive module 321 and the second moving mechanism 33 are connected via the multiple overhead belts 322. The processing device 1 can control the drive module 321 to move the second moving mechanism 33 towards or away from the cooling tank A1 by adjusting the length of the overhead belts 322. The first moving mechanism 32 may, for example, include a winch, and the drive module 321 and the multiple overhead belts 322 may be components of the winch. In practice, the number of overhead belts 322 included in the first moving mechanism 32 is not limited to that shown in the figure and can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the second moving mechanism 33 may include a hollow frame 331, two linear moving modules 332, and four positioning modules. The hollow frame 331 may include a top 3311 and four extension structures 3313. The top 3311 is, for example, a flat plate structure. One end of the hollow frame 331 is the top 3311, which is used to connect to four overhead conveyor belts 322. The other end of the hollow frame 331 has an opening 3312 through which an item B can enter the hollow frame 331, that is, the item B can be contained within the hollow frame 331. The end of the hollow frame 331 with the opening 3312 is also connected to the four extension structures 3313. Each extension structure 3313 may be a crossbar structure extending outward from the hollow frame 331.

[0032] Two linear motion modules 332 are arranged on both sides of the hollow frame 331, facing each other. Each linear motion module 332 includes, for example, a moving part 3321, a linkage (not shown), and a servo motor 3322. The moving part 3321 is connected to the linkage, and the servo motor 3322 is connected to the linkage. The processing device 1 can control the servo motor 3322 to drive the linkage, thereby causing the moving part 3321 to move closer to or away from the cooling tank A1. The linkage can be, for example, a screw. Each linear motion module 332 can be, for example, a linear slide rail.

[0033] The holding mechanism 34 includes two telescopic modules 341 and two pins 342. Each telescopic module 341 is electrically connected to the processing device 1, and each telescopic module 341 is disposed on each movable member 3321. Each pin 342 is connected to the telescopic module 341. The processing device 1 can control the two telescopic modules 341 to move the two pins 342 toward each other or away, thereby passing through or away from the through holes of the auxiliary holding structure B1 of the article B.

[0034] The second moving mechanism 33 has a higher moving accuracy than the first moving mechanism 32. The processing device 1 can control the first moving mechanism 32 to cause the second moving mechanism 33 to move towards the cooling tank A1 at a first speed, and the processing device 1 can control two servo motors 3322 to cause the two moving parts 3321 and the holding mechanism 34 to move towards or away from the cooling tank A1 at a second speed. The first speed is greater than the second speed.

[0035] In other words, in one scenario, the processing device 1 can first control the first moving mechanism 32 to make the second moving mechanism 33 move quickly toward the cooling tank A1, and then control the two servo motors 3322 to make the two moving parts 3321, the telescopic module 341, and the pin 342 approach the cooling tank A1 at a relatively slower speed. This design can effectively improve the overall operating speed of the mechanism, and since the moving accuracy of the second moving mechanism 33 is less than that of the first moving mechanism 32, and the moving part 3321 approaches the cooling tank A1 at a second speed, it can effectively avoid the situation where the moving part 3321, the telescopic module 341, or the pin 342 collides with the cooling tank A1.

[0036] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, each positioning module may include a first positioning structure 335 and an elastic element 336. Each first positioning structure 335 is movably disposed on each extension structure 3313, and one end of each elastic element 336 is fixed to the extension structure 3313, while the other end of each elastic element 336 is fixed to the first positioning structure 335. When one end of the first positioning structure 335 is compressed, the first positioning structure 335 will compress the elastic element 336, causing the elastic element 336 to deform.

[0037] The cooling tank A1 includes multiple second positioning structures A11. Each second positioning structure A11 is, for example, a groove. After the hollow frame 331 moves a first distance toward the cooling tank A1 with the first moving mechanism 32, the multiple first positioning structures 335 can abut against the multiple second positioning structures A11 of the cooling tank A1, so that the hollow frame 331 is positioned above the cooling tank A1.

[0038] In practical applications, the ends of each first positioning structure 335 can be cone-shaped structures, while each second positioning structure A11 is a corresponding cone-shaped groove structure. In this way, during the process of the hollow frame 331 moving towards the cooling tank A1, each first positioning structure 335 and the corresponding second positioning structure A11 can assist in positioning the hollow frame 331 and the cooling tank A1, so that the hollow frame 331 can stop at the expected position above the cooling tank A1.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that each of the first positioning structures 335 is set to protrude from the hollow frame 331. Therefore, as the hollow frame 331 moves toward the cooling tank A1, each of the first positioning structures 335 will preferentially contact the multiple second positioning structures A11 of the cooling tank A1. Based on this design, and in conjunction with the design of multiple elastic elements 336, the hollow frame 331 can be prevented from colliding with the cooling tank A1 during the process of moving toward the cooling tank A1.

[0040] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the hollow frame 331 moves a preset distance towards the cooling tank A1 along with the first moving mechanism 32, which will not cause the hollow frame 331 to collide with the cooling tank A1. However, under prolonged use or other unexpected circumstances, the distance the hollow frame 331 moves towards the cooling tank A1 may be slightly greater than the preset distance. In this case, the ends of each first positioning structure 335 will abut against the corresponding second positioning structure A11, and each elastic element 336 will be deformed by the compression of the first positioning structure 335. The compressed elastic elements 336 will prevent the hollow frame 331 from moving towards the cooling tank A1, and the elastic restoring force generated by the compression of each elastic element 336 can also be used to help the hollow frame 331 return to its normal position. In other words, each elastic element 336 can act as a buffer between the hollow frame 331 and the cooling tank A1 to reduce the probability of the hollow frame 331 colliding with the cooling tank A1.

[0041] When the hollow frame 331 without item B is positioned above the cooling tank A1, and the first positioning structures 335 and the second positioning structures A11 are in contact with each other, the processing device 1 controls two servo motors 3322 to move two moving parts 3321 toward the cooling tank A1, thereby moving two pins 342 to both sides of the auxiliary holding structure B1 of item B located in the cooling tank A1. Then, the processing device 1 controls two telescopic modules 341 to move the two pins 342 toward each other, thereby inserting the two pins 342 into the two through holes of the auxiliary holding structure B1 of item B, thereby connecting the hollow frame 331 to item B.

[0042] Following the above, after the two pins 342 are connected to the auxiliary holding structure B1 of the item B, the processing device 1 can first control the two moving parts 3321 to move away from the cooling tank A1, thereby moving the item B from the cooling tank A1 to the hollow frame 331. Then, the processing device 1 can control the first moving mechanism 32 to move the second moving mechanism 33 away from the cooling tank A1, so that the hollow frame 331 and the item B it holds move together away from the cooling tank A1, thereby housing the hollow frame 331 and the item B in the vehicle body 31.

[0043] Similarly, when the holding mechanism 34 holds the item B, and the hollow frame 331 and the item B are contained in the vehicle body 31, the processing device 1 can control the first moving mechanism 32, the second moving mechanism 33 and the holding mechanism 34 in sequence to first move to the top of the cooling tank A1, then place the item B into the cooling tank A1, and finally, make the two pins 342 leave the auxiliary holding structure B1 of the item B.

[0044] As described above, through the design of the first positioning structure 335 and the second positioning structure A11, in conjunction with the design of the elastic element 336, the hollow frame 331 can be correctly positioned above the cooling tank A1. This ensures that the subsequent moving parts 3321, telescopic module 341, and pin 342 can precisely actuate to pick up and place item B. The entire system has a compact structure, is easy to operate, and has good environmental adaptability, making it widely applicable to automated production lines in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

[0045] Sensor 35 is used to detect the real-time torque of each servo motor 3322 of the second moving mechanism 33. Processing device 1 is connected to sensor 35 and can receive the real-time torque transmitted by sensor 35. Based on the real-time torque transmitted by sensor 35, processing device 1 can issue a warning notification and stop the first moving mechanism 32 and the second moving mechanism 33 when the real-time torque exceeds a preset threshold.

[0046] For example, in the case where item B is a server, when the processing device 1 determines that the real-time torque is greater than the preset threshold, it may mean that the server's connector cannot be properly separated from the connector in the cooling tank A1. At this time, the processing device 1 will stop the first moving mechanism 32 and the second moving mechanism 33. In this way, it can avoid the situation where the processing device 1 continues to control the first moving mechanism 32 and the second moving mechanism 33, causing the server's connector and / or the connector in the cooling tank A1 to be damaged.

[0047] In practical applications, the processing device 1 can execute a removal procedure to remove item B from the immersion cooling device A. When the processing device 1 executes the removal procedure, it includes, for example, the following steps:

[0048] First descent step: Control the first moving mechanism 32 to make the second moving mechanism 33 move a first distance toward the cooling tank A1 at a first speed;

[0049] A second descent step: control the second moving mechanism 33 so that the two moving parts 3321 of the second moving mechanism 33 move towards the cooling tank A1 at a second speed and a second distance;

[0050] First holding step: Control the two telescopic modules 341 so that the two pins 342 pass through the perforations of the auxiliary holding structure B1 of item B;

[0051] First rising step: The servo motor 3322 of the second moving mechanism 33 is controlled to run at a default high torque, so that the second moving mechanism 33 moves a third distance away from the cooling tank A1, thereby separating the connector of item B from the mating connector of the cooling tank A1.

[0052] First determination step: Determine whether processor A2 of cooling tank A1 transmits a disconnect signal A21;

[0053] If it is determined that processor A2 has transmitted the unplug signal A21, then the following steps are performed:

[0054] The second rising step: control the servo motor 3322 to run at a default normal torque, and move the two moving parts 3321 a fourth distance away from the cooling tank A1; the preset normal torque is lower than the preset high torque;

[0055] The third rising step: control the first moving mechanism 32 to move the second moving mechanism 33 and the item B it holds to the vehicle body 31;

[0056] If it is determined that the processor A2 has not transmitted the unplug signal A21 within a preset time, an alarm step is executed: an alarm notification is issued.

[0057] By designing the first and second descent steps, the processing device 1 first moves the first moving mechanism 32, which in turn moves the second moving mechanism 33 towards the cooling tank A1 at a first speed, and then moves the two moving parts 3321 of the second moving mechanism 33 towards the cooling tank A1 at a second speed. This design can significantly improve the overall operation speed while ensuring that the second moving mechanism 33 does not collide with the item B or the cooling tank A1.

[0058] In the example where item B is a server, when the server is placed in the cooling tank A1, the server's connector will be plugged into the connector in the cooling tank A1. Therefore, through the design of the first rising step and the judgment step described above, it can be ensured that the two moving parts 3321 will drive the server to move away from the cooling tank A1 only after the server's connector is separated from the connector in the cooling tank A1.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that in both the first and second rising steps, the servo motor 3322 controls the second moving mechanism 33 instead of the first moving mechanism 32. Since the moving accuracy of the second moving mechanism 33 is higher than that of the first moving mechanism 32, the problem of damage to the server connector during the process of disengaging from the connector of the cooling tank A1 can be effectively reduced.

[0060] Conversely, after the second ascent step, the server will be housed in the hollow frame 331. Subsequently, in the third ascent step, the processing device 1 controls the first moving mechanism 32, which in turn drives the second moving mechanism 33 and the fixed item thereon to move upwards together at a first speed. This design improves the overall efficiency of the operation. Furthermore, by housing item B in the hollow frame 331, problems such as item B colliding with surrounding objects during ascent can be avoided.

[0061] Furthermore, by designing the judgment steps, it is possible to effectively prevent the processing device 1 from controlling the first moving mechanism 32 to drive the second moving mechanism 33 to move away from the cooling tank A1 at a first speed before the server's connector has separated from the connector in the cooling tank A1. This significantly reduces the probability of damage to the server's connector and the connector in the cooling tank A1. Similarly, by designing the alarm steps, relevant personnel can perform real-time inspections of the cooling tank, the first moving mechanism, the second moving mechanism, and other equipment.

[0062] Conversely, when the holding mechanism 34 holds the article B and the transport vehicle 3 is located above the cooling tank A1, the processing device 1 can execute an insertion procedure, which includes the following steps:

[0063] First descent step: Control the first moving mechanism 32 to make the second moving mechanism 33 move a first distance toward the cooling tank A1 at a first speed;

[0064] A second descent step: Control the second moving mechanism 33 so that the two moving parts 3321 move towards the cooling tank A1 at a second speed and a second distance;

[0065] The third descent step: control the servo motor 3322 to run at a default high torque, so that the two moving parts 3321 move toward the cooling tank A1, and allow the connector of item B to be plugged into the mating connector of the cooling tank A1.

[0066] First determination step: Determine whether processor A2 of cooling tank A1 transmits a connection signal A22;

[0067] If it is determined that processor A2 has transmitted connection signal A22, then the following steps are performed:

[0068] First release step: Control the two telescopic modules 341 so that the two pins 342 disengage from the through holes of the auxiliary holding structure B1;

[0069] First rising step: Control the servo motor 3322 to run with a preset normal torque, so that the two moving parts 3321 move away from the cooling tank A1;

[0070] A second lifting step: Control the first moving mechanism 32 to move the second moving mechanism 33 to the vehicle body 31;

[0071] If it is determined that processor A2 has not transmitted connection signal A22 within a preset time, an alarm step is executed: an alarm notification is issued.

[0072] Please see Figure 8 This is a perspective view of another embodiment of the transport vehicle of the transport vehicle system of this utility model. The biggest difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the transport vehicle 3 also includes a lateral movement mechanism 36. The lateral movement mechanism 36 is connected to the first moving mechanism 32, and the processing device 1 is electrically connected to the lateral movement mechanism 36. The processing device 1 can control the lateral movement mechanism 36 so that the second moving mechanism 33 moves laterally relative to the cooling tank A1. In one specific embodiment, the lateral movement mechanism 36 includes, for example, multiple linear moving modules and moving members. The moving members are slidably disposed on the multiple linear moving modules and are connected to the first moving mechanism 32.

[0073] In different embodiments, the transverse mechanism 36 may also be connected to the second moving mechanism 33, and the first moving mechanism 32 can simultaneously drive the transverse mechanism 36 and the second moving mechanism 33 to move towards or away from the cooling tank A1.

[0074] By designing the lateral movement mechanism 36, the first moving mechanism 32 or the second moving mechanism 33 can be moved relative to the cooling tank A1 without the transport vehicle 3 moving laterally relative to the cooling tank A1. In this way, the second moving mechanism 33 can be moved to a position above the cooling tank A1 that is not directly below the transport vehicle 3.

[0075] In summary, the handling system and moving mechanism of this utility model, through the design of the processing device, the handling vehicle, the first moving mechanism, the second moving mechanism, the holding mechanism, and the sensors, can remove items from the cooling tank or place items into the cooling tank without human intervention. Furthermore, the sensor design ensures that items are not easily damaged due to the continuous lifting of the moving mechanism during the process of leaving the cooling tank.

[0076] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
