Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a rapid heat pipe cutting device, including a machine base 10. A fixing mechanism 20 is disposed on the machine base 10 for fixing the heat pipe. A cutting mechanism 30 is disposed on the machine base and includes a plurality of cutting components 31 located above the fixing mechanism 20 and evenly spaced, the cutting components 31 being used to cut the heat pipe into multiple segments at one time. A plurality of cutting grooves 40 are disposed on the bottom surface of the machine base 10 or the top surface of the fixing mechanism 20, corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of cutting components 31.

[0037] Understandably, the fixing mechanism 20 is a component that limits and fixes the heat pipe in various directions. For example, it can be a mechanical clamping fixing mechanism 20, or a combination of positioning pins and slots, but is not limited to these. The cutting mechanism 30 is a component that cuts the heat pipe. For example, it can be a laser cutting mechanism 30, or a sawing cutting mechanism 30, but is not limited to these. The cutting groove 40 is a channel for the cutting assembly 31 to cut the heat pipe. For example, it can be a guide positioning groove, or a chip removal and pressure reduction groove, but is not limited to these. The cutting assembly 31 is a component that mechanically cuts the long heat pipe into shorter heat pipes of the required size. For example, it can be a blade cutting method, or a serrated cutting method, but is not limited to these. The cutting assembly 31 cuts the heat pipe along the cutting groove 40, thus cutting the heat pipe into multiple segments. For example, it can be a vertical cut, with the cutting assembly 31 cutting from top to bottom, or a horizontal cut, with the cutting section cutting the heat pipe from left to right or from right to left along the cutting groove 40, but is not limited to these. Since horizontal cutting can easily lead to instability in the heat pipe and thus affect the cutting quality, vertical cutting is recommended.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the heat pipe rapid cutting equipment has multiple cutting grooves 40 and multiple cutting components. The multiple cutting components simultaneously cut the long heat pipe into multiple segments along the corresponding cutting grooves 40, thereby cutting the long heat pipe into multiple short heat pipe segments in one go, thus improving the cutting efficiency.

[0039] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 20 includes a base 21, which is mounted on the machine base 10. A mounting slot 22, mounted on the base 21, is used to place the heat pipe. A pressure assembly 23, positioned above the mounting slot 22, is used to cooperate with the mounting slot 22 to fix the heat pipe vertically. A pushing assembly 24, positioned at one or both ends of the mounting slot 22, is used to fix the heat pipe horizontally.

[0040] Understandably, the mounting slot 22 is a component used to place the unprocessed long heat pipe, and can be, for example, a circular slot or a trapezoidal slot, but is not limited to these. The bottom pressure component 23 is a component that presses the heat pipe tightly within the mounting slot 22, and can be, for example, a lifting type pressure component or a flip-top type pressure component, but is not limited to these. The pushing component 24 is a component that prevents the heat pipe from sliding left and right in the horizontal direction. For example, it can be that the pushing components 24 are set at both ends of the mounting slot 22, and the pushing components 24 press the heat pipe against the fixed plate, or it can be that one end of the mounting slot 22 is a fixed plate, and the other end is a pushing component 24, and the pushing component 24 presses the heat pipe against the fixed plate, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0041] With this setup, the long heat pipe is placed on the mounting groove 22, and the bottom pressure component 23 presses the long heat pipe from top to bottom to press it into the mounting groove 22, preventing the long heat pipe from shaking up and down. The pushing component 24 presses the long heat pipe from one side to prevent it from moving left and right. By limiting the up, down, left and right movement of the long heat pipe, the heat pipe is prevented from shaking during the cutting process, which would affect the cutting quality.

[0042] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The bottom pressure assembly 23 includes a fixing block 231, which is disposed above the mounting groove 22 and is used to press down the heat pipe. A lifting member 232 is disposed on the base 21, and the output end of the lifting member 232 is connected to the fixing block 231, which is used to drive the fixing block 231 to move up and down and press it on the heat pipe. The bottom pressure assembly 23 also includes a spring 233 disposed between the fixing block 231 and the base 21.

[0043] Understandably, the fixing block 231 is the component that presses down the swaying heat pipe. For example, it can be a square fixing block 231 or a curved fixing block 231, but it is not limited to these. The lifting component 232 is the component that drives the fixing block 231 to press and release the heat pipe. For example, it can be a nut and screw mechanism or a hydraulic telescopic rod, but it is not limited to these. The spring 233 is the component that prevents the lifting component 232 from vibrating due to excessive speed or slowness during the lifting process. For example, it can be a coil spring 233 or a leaf spring 233, but it is not limited to these.

[0044] With this configuration, the lifting component 232 drives the fixing block 231 to rise. After the heat pipe is placed in the mounting slot 22, the lifting component 232 drives the fixing block 231 to fall and press down on the heat pipe, preventing the heat pipe from shaking up and down during cutting and affecting the cutting effect.

[0045] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The cutting assembly 31 includes a frame 311, which is mounted above the fixing mechanism 20. A telescopic actuator 313, mounted on the frame 311, is used for lifting and lowering. A rotary actuator 314, mounted at the power output end of the telescopic actuator 313, is used for rotating. A cutting blade 312, mounted at the output end of the rotary actuator 314 and located above the cutting groove 40, is used to cut the heat pipe.

[0046] Understandably, the cutting blade 312 is a component that cuts the heat pipe mechanically. For example, it can be a circular sawing blade 312 or a blade-type cutting blade 312, but it is not limited to these. The telescopic actuator 313 is a component that enables the fixing mechanism 20 to fix heat pipes of different lengths. For example, it can be a pneumatic telescopic rod or an electric push rod, but it is not limited to these.

[0047] With this configuration, the rotary driver 314 drives the cutting blade 312 to rotate, and the telescopic driver 313 drives the cutting blade 312 to move downward to cut the long heat pipe.

[0048] As can be seen from the above, the lifting component 232 drives the fixing block 231 to rise, placing the heat pipe into the mounting groove 22, pushing the component 24 to hold the heat pipe, and the lifting component 232 in the bottom pressure component 23 drives the fixing block 231 to fall and press the heat pipe, and then the cutting mechanism 30 is started. The multiple cutting components 31 in the cutting mechanism 30 simultaneously cut the heat pipe into multiple segments along the cutting groove 40, and then the fixing block 231 is released, and the worker removes the cut multiple segments of the heat pipe.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
