Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation device manufacturing technology, specifically to a 3DVC automatic sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] 3DVC heat sinks, as high-efficiency heat dissipation components, are widely used in devices such as 5G chips, servers, and computer mainframes.

[0003] In existing technologies, the processing of 3DVC heat sinks generally involves two steps: a first removal process and a second removal process. The first removal process typically includes weighing, liquid injection, water cooling in a water-cooling box, a first vacuum degassing, air drying to remove moisture from the external water-cooling mechanism, and a second weighing. The second removal process further processes the material received from the first removal process. This process typically involves removing air from the tubes by heating at a controlled temperature, followed by sealing the heated material to complete the finished product.

[0004] Currently, the riveting and welding of materials are typically performed manually as separate processes, requiring manual material transfer and multiple separate operations. The traditional "two-stage" sealing process separates riveting and welding into independent steps. After heating and degassing, the material must be manually transported to a riveting machine or manual pressing equipment. After riveting, it is then manually transferred to an automatic laser welding machine or handheld laser welding machine for welding. This material transfer process easily leads to vacuum leakage, affecting product quality. Furthermore, the manual riveting and welding processes are prone to weak riveting or weld misalignment, resulting in a high defect rate.

[0005] In summary, the existing single-process, multi-person production method is inefficient, has a high defect rate, and cannot meet the growing production needs of enterprises, nor can it achieve large-scale production.

[0006] Therefore, overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The positioning seat is provided with a positioning rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the first support platform includes a slide, a fixture connected to the slide via a second lifting guide rod assembly, and a second lifting cylinder connected to the lower end of the fixture. The fixture is also equipped with a first positioning cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the laser welding mechanism includes a welding device and a welding table. The welding table is located in front of the welding device and is used to transport materials to the welding device. The welding device includes a fixed bracket mounted on the mounting table, a first Y-axis linear module connected to the fixed bracket, a third Z-axis linear module slidably connected to the first Y-axis linear module, and a laser welding gun slidably connected to the third Z-axis linear module.

[0015] Furthermore, the welding station includes a first X-axis linear module mounted on the mounting surface, a first connecting bracket slidably connected to the first X-axis linear module, a fixture connected to the first connecting bracket, a second rotary cylinder mounted on the first connecting bracket, and a second pressure rod connected to the second rotary cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the material transfer mechanism includes a second X-axis linear module, a second connecting bracket slidably connected to the second X-axis linear module, a second Y-axis linear module mounted on the second connecting bracket, a third connecting bracket slidably connected to the second Y-axis linear module, and a rotary gripper cylinder and a motor mounted on the third connecting bracket, wherein the upper end of the rotary gripper cylinder is drively connected to the motor.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention provides a 3DVC automatic sealing machine, including a frame with a mounting platform. On the mounting platform, arranged from right to left according to the process flow, are a material storage mechanism, a riveting mechanism, a laser welding mechanism, and a receiving platform. A material transfer mechanism and a feeding mechanism are also installed on the mounting platform. The material transfer mechanism is located at the front end of the material storage mechanism, riveting mechanism, laser welding mechanism, and receiving platform. The material transfer mechanism is used to transfer materials from the material storage mechanism to the receiving platform, and the feeding mechanism is used to transfer materials from the receiving platform to the feeding mechanism.

[0028] The following examples provide a more detailed description of the features and other related characteristics of this utility model, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0029] For ease of description and understanding, please refer to the orientation shown in the attached diagram for descriptions related to positional relationships such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, outside, and inside, as well as descriptions related to the X, Y, and Z axes.

[0030] It should be noted that the sealing machine in this case also includes some common equipment mechanisms or components such as the frame and protective housing. These are well-known technologies in the field and are not the focus of protection in this case. Therefore, in order to make the description and explanation more intuitive in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the textual description of this part has been simplified or omitted in this case, and the drawings have also been simplified or omitted.

[0031] In the following text, the material 200 mentioned in this case refers to the 3DVC heat sink, and for ease of understanding, it is correspondingly marked in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. For the convenience of subsequent description, it will be referred to as material 200 from now on.

[0032] The jig 300 mentioned repeatedly in this case refers to the same jig 300 with the same structure and size, which is the carrier used to place the material 200.

[0033] The sealing machine in this case is used as a connecting process after the "second removal" heating and degassing, and it is also the last piece of equipment used in the entire "first removal" and "second removal" complete processing process of the 3DVC radiator.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this invention provides a 3DVC automatic sealing machine, including a frame, the frame including a mounting table 100, on which a material storage mechanism 1, a riveting mechanism 2, a laser welding mechanism 3 and a receiving table 4 are installed sequentially from right to left according to the process flow. A material transfer mechanism 5 and a feeding mechanism 6 are also installed on the mounting table 100. The material transfer mechanism 5 is located at the front end of the material storage mechanism 1, the riveting mechanism 2, the laser welding mechanism 3 and the receiving table 4. The material transfer mechanism 5 is used to transfer material 200 from the material storage mechanism 1 to the receiving table 4. The feeding mechanism 6 is used to transfer the material from the receiving table 4 to the feeding mechanism 6.

[0035] The material temporary storage mechanism 1 realizes the rapid connection between the sealing machine in this case and the previous process. During specific implementation, the material temporary storage mechanism 1 picks up the material 200 conveyed by the previous heating and degassing process. The material transfer mechanism 5 transfers the material 200 from the material temporary storage mechanism 1 to the riveting mechanism 2 for the operation of riveting and sealing the vertical pipe 201 of the material 200. After the riveting mechanism 2 finishes sealing, the material transfer mechanism 5 then transfers the material 200 from the riveting mechanism 2 to the laser welding mechanism 3 for laser welding operation. After the welding is completed, the material transfer mechanism 5 transfers the material 200 from the laser welding mechanism 3 to the receiving table 4 for temporary storage. Finally, the material 200 on the receiving table 4 is transferred to the blanking mechanism 6 through the blanking mechanism 6, and the operator manually opens the blanking window of the equipment, checks in front of the blanking mechanism 6 and completes the blanking.

[0036] As described above, through the reasonable layout and coordinated operation of each mechanism in this case, the full automation of the material 200 in the processes of feeding, riveting, welding and sealing, and blanking is achieved. The material transfer mechanism 5 quickly and accurately transfers the material between each process, avoiding manual handling and waiting time, greatly shortening the production cycle, and increasing the output per unit time. The precise control and automated operation of the riveting mechanism 2 and the laser welding mechanism 3 ensure the quality and consistency of riveting and welding. It avoids the errors and unstable factors that may occur in manual operation, reduces the risk of sealing leakage, and improves the sealing performance and reliability of the product. The settings of the material temporary storage mechanism 1 and the receiving table 4 provide buffering and transition for the production process, ensuring the stable supply and storage of materials. At the same time, the coordinated work between each mechanism also reduces the production interruption caused by the failure of a certain link, improving the stability and reliability of the entire production line. The full-automation production process in this case reduces the manual operation links, reduces the labor intensity of workers, greatly reduces the labor cost, and improves the production efficiency. Workers only need to perform simple inspection and blanking operations in front of the blanking mechanism 6, improving the comfort and safety of work.

[0037] It should be added that during specific implementation, the production line in this case detects the presence or absence of an object and the in-place situation of the object by setting multiple induction switches, so as to trigger the actions of each mechanism or change the states of each mechanism, thereby realizing the cyclic work of each mechanism. The relevant content here is well-known technology in this field, and the setting positions and quantities of each induction switch will not be specifically described one by one here. During specific implementation, those skilled in the art can adaptively set the corresponding induction switches according to the common knowledge in this field and each mechanism in this case to realize the linkage between each mechanism.

[0038] Refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the material storage mechanism 1 of this case includes a first Z-axis linear module 11 mounted on a mounting platform 100, a fixture 300 slidably connected to the first Z-axis linear module 11 via a sliding bracket 12, a first rotary cylinder 13 connected to the fixture 300, and a first pressure rod 14 connected to the first rotary cylinder 13. The fixture 300 is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 12, and the sliding bracket 12 is provided with a rotary cylinder 15 for driving the fixture 300 to rotate. A turning cylinder 16 is connected to the lower end of the sliding bracket 12. A fan 17 is also connected to the sliding bracket 12.

[0039] The material storage mechanism 1 receives materials to be processed from the previous process, facilitating the transition between materials 200, reducing waiting time, and improving production efficiency. The first Z-axis linear module 11 enables the sliding bracket 12 to reciprocate in the Z-axis direction, facilitating quick and efficient receipt of materials 200 from the previous process and transfer to the sealing machine for gripping by the material transfer mechanism 5. The first rotary cylinder 13 drives the first pressure rod 14 to press the materials 200 placed on the fixture 300 during the operation of the material storage mechanism 1, ensuring the stability of the materials 200 during transport. The rotary cylinder 15 drives the fixture 300 to rotate relative to the sliding bracket 12, changing the angle of the fixture 300 relative to the sliding bracket 12, i.e., the inclination of the fixture 300, to provide a suitable angle for placing and gripping materials 200 during material gripping and conveying in the preceding and following processes. The turning cylinder 16 is used to drive the sliding support 12 and rotate the fixture 300, that is, to switch the material 200 between a forward and backward state, so as to facilitate the material gripping and conveying in the preceding and following processes. Because the sealing machine in this case is used in the process after the "secondary degassing" equipment, the previous process heats and degasses the material 200, and the fan 17 is used to cool the material 200.

[0040] Specifically, the sliding bracket 12 slides on the first Z-axis linear module 11, causing the fixture 300 to move to a suitable position to receive the material 200 transferred from the previous process. Then, the rotary cylinder 15 drives the fixture 300 to rotate relative to the sliding bracket 12 to a suitable angle, and the fixture 300 receives the material. The first rotary cylinder 13 drives the first pressure rod 14 to rotate and press the material 200 on the fixture 300. After the sliding bracket 12 continues to drive the fixture 300 to slide on the first Z-axis linear module 11 to a suitable position, the turning cylinder 16 is activated, driving the sliding bracket 12 and the fixture 300 to rotate in a different direction, thereby changing the orientation of the material 200. Finally, the material transfer mechanism 5 clamps the material 200 from the fixture 300, completing the transfer of the material 200. After the material storage mechanism 1 finishes its work, it automatically resets and starts the next cycle.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the riveting mechanism 2 of this invention includes a first base plate 21 mounted on the mounting platform 100, a second Z-axis linear module 22 mounted on the first base plate 21, a first support platform 23 slidably connected to the second Z-axis linear module 22, and a riveting device 24 mounted on the first base plate 21. The riveting mechanism 2 also includes a hydraulic pump unit 25 disposed at the lower end of the mounting platform 100. In specific implementations, the hydraulic pump unit 25 includes a motor, a hydraulic pump, and a cooling fan—common hydraulic devices known in the art—and can be configured according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0042] When the riveting mechanism 2 is working, the second Z-axis linear module 22 drives the first support platform 23 to move toward the material transfer mechanism 5 in the Z-axis direction to pick up the material 200 clamped on the material transfer mechanism 5. Then, the second Z-axis linear module 22 drives the first support platform 23 to move toward the riveting device 25 in the Z-axis direction and transports the material 200 to the riveting device 24 for riveting and sealing. After the processing is completed, the second Z-axis linear module 22 drives the first support platform 23 to move toward the material transfer mechanism 5 in the Z-axis direction again. The material transfer mechanism 5 picks up the processed material 200 and transfers it to the laser welding mechanism 3 for processing. This cycle repeats continuously.

[0043] As described above, the second Z-axis linear module 22 drives the first support platform 23 to achieve rapid transfer of material 200, reducing the waiting time of material 200 between processes and enabling efficient riveting. Simultaneously, the stable and controllable hydraulic power provided by the hydraulic pump unit 25 ensures the rapid completion of the riveting operation, improving the overall production efficiency of the riveting mechanism. This allows the riveting device 24 to accurately rivet material 200, ensuring consistent and stable riveting quality. It avoids problems such as weak riveting and inconsistent deformation caused by unstable power or inaccurate riveting pressure, improving the product qualification rate. The material transfer system composed of the second Z-axis linear module 22 and the first support platform 23 avoids the need for more complex transfer mechanisms, reducing equipment manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the rational design and coordinated operation of the hydraulic pump unit 25 and the riveting device 24 improve equipment reliability and service life, reducing maintenance costs. In practical implementation, the hydraulic pump unit 25 of this case can adapt to the riveting requirements of materials of different specifications and materials by adjusting the hydraulic parameters. The mold of the riveting device 24 can be replaced and adjusted according to the specific shape and size of the material, so that the riveting mechanism can be applied to the riveting and sealing of various types of 3DVC heat sinks, thereby enhancing the versatility of the equipment.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, specifically, the riveting device 24 includes a first lifting guide rod assembly 241 mounted on the first base plate 21, a hydraulic servo cylinder 242 mounted on the upper end of the first lifting guide rod assembly 241, a pressure plate 243 slidably connected to the first lifting guide rod assembly 241, and a riveting joint 244 connected to the lower end of the pressure plate 243. The upper end of the pressure plate 243 is connected to the hydraulic servo cylinder 242, and the lower end of the pressure plate 243 is also provided with a clamping bolt 245. The riveting device 24 also includes a positioning seat 246 and a support seat 247 mounted on the first base plate 21, and the positioning seat 246 and the support seat 247 are located below the pressure plate 243. The positioning seat 246 is located in front of the support seat 247. The support seat 247 includes a support frame 2471, a support block 2472 mounted on the support frame 2471, and a first lifting cylinder 2473 connected to the lower end of the support block 2472. The positioning seat 246 is provided with a positioning rod 248. In practice, the positioning rod 248 is driven by an actuation mechanism, and the clamping bolt 245 is an elastic clamping bolt.

[0045] When the first support platform 23 is working, the material 200 is conveyed from the first support platform 23 to the top of the support base 247. The first lifting cylinder 2473 is activated to lift the support block 2472 and receive the material 200. The positioning rod 248 above the positioning base 246 extends pneumatically to further press the material 200. At the same time, the hydraulic servo cylinder 242 drives the pressure plate 243 to move downward along the first lifting guide rod assembly 241 until the clamping bolt 245 at the lower end of the pressure plate 243 presses it onto the material 200. Simultaneously, the riveting joint 244 presses the part of the material 200 that needs to be riveted with the support block 2472 and performs the riveting operation. After the riveting operation is completed, all mechanisms reset and the next cycle begins.

[0046] As described above, the support block 2472 is first lifted, and then the positioning rod 248 is pressed down, preventing the material 200 from tilting, improving the verticality of the riveting of the vertical pipe 201, and providing a good foundation for subsequent processes. The support block 2472 and the elastic clamping bolt 245 disperse stress, ensuring the stability of the material 200 during riveting and improving the product yield. The positioning rod 248 and the clamping bolt 245 are pressed down in both directions, and the riveting joint 244 and the support block 2472 move synchronously, making the riveting depth consistent, providing a precise benchmark for the next laser welding process, and improving product quality stability and batch uniformity. The riveting device 24 of this invention, through the coordinated operation of the above-mentioned mechanisms and the reasonable sequence and timing of actions, shortens the production cycle and improves the continuity and stability of production.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, specifically, the first support platform 23 includes a slide 231, a fixture 300 connected to the slide 231 via a second lifting guide rod assembly 232, and a second lifting cylinder 233 connected to the lower end of the fixture 300. Driven by the second Z-axis linear module 22, the slide 231 can quickly and accurately move the fixture 300 between different positions. The second lifting cylinder 233 realizes the automatic lifting and lowering of the fixture 300. The entire process is efficient and smooth, greatly improving the transfer efficiency of the material 200 between the material transfer mechanism 5 and the riveting device 24. The fixture 300 is also equipped with a first positioning cylinder 234. The second lifting guide rod assembly 232 provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the fixture 300, and the first positioning cylinder 234 accurately positions the material 200, ensuring the positional accuracy of the material 200 on the fixture 300. This provides a good foundation for subsequent riveting and other processing steps, helping to improve the processing quality of the product.

[0048] In practice, the slide 231, driven by the second Z-axis linear module 22, moves the fixture 300 to below the material transfer mechanism 5. The second lifting cylinder 233 activates, driving the fixture 300 upwards along the second lifting guide rod assembly 232 until it reaches a suitable receiving height. The material transfer mechanism 5 places the material 200 on the fixture 300. At this time, the first positioning cylinder 234 activates, using its piston rod end positioning structure to position the material 200, ensuring accurate positioning of the material 200 on the fixture 300. After receiving the material, the second lifting cylinder 233 drives the fixture 300 downwards to its initial position. Driven by the second Z-axis linear module 22, the slide 231 moves the fixture 300 and the material 200 on it to the working position of the riveting device 24. The second lifting cylinder 233 activates again, raising the fixture 300 to a suitable height, allowing the material 200 to reach a position where the riveting device 24 can perform processing. After the material 200 is processed by the riveting device 24, the second lifting cylinder 233 drives the fixture 300 to descend, and the slide 231 drives the fixture 300 back to the initial position, waiting for the next material to be received. This cycle continues.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the laser welding mechanism 3 of this invention includes a welding device 31 and a welding table 32. The welding table 32 is located in front of the welding device 31 and is used to feed material 200 to the welding device 31. The welding device 31 includes a fixed bracket 311 mounted on the mounting surface 100, a first Y-axis linear module 312 connected to the fixed bracket 311, a third Z-axis linear module 313 slidably connected to the first Y-axis linear module 312, and a laser welding gun 314 slidably connected to the third Z-axis linear module 313.

[0050] In practice, the welding station 32 receives the material transferred from the material transfer mechanism 5 and transports the material 200 to a suitable position in front of the welding device 31, ensuring that the material 200 is in a weldable state. The first Y-axis linear module 312 drives the third Z-axis linear module 313 to move along the Y-axis according to the preset welding position, so that the laser welding gun 314 reaches the corresponding position of the welding part of the material 200 in the Y-axis direction. Then, the third Z-axis linear module 313 drives the laser welding gun 314 to move along the Z-axis, adjusting the distance between the laser welding gun 314 and the material 200 so that the laser focus accurately falls on the welding part. When the laser welding gun 314 reaches the accurate welding position, it emits a high-energy laser beam to weld the material 200. During the welding process, the first Y-axis linear module 312 and the third Z-axis linear module 313 can drive the laser welding gun 314 to move accordingly according to the requirements of the welding path, completing the entire welding process. After welding is completed, the first Y-axis linear module 312 and the third Z-axis linear module 313 drive the laser welding gun 314 back to the initial position, and the welding table 32 transports the welded material 200 out, waiting for the next welding task, and so on in a cycle.

[0051] As described above, the coordinated operation of the first Y-axis linear module 312 and the third Z-axis linear module 313 enables the laser welding gun 314 to move precisely and accurately align with the welding area on the material 200. Simultaneously, the welding table 32's accurate delivery and positioning of the material 200 together ensures high welding precision and improves product welding quality. Driven by the first Y-axis linear module 312 and the third Z-axis linear module 313, the laser welding gun 314 can be adjusted within a wide range, adapting to welding requirements of different shapes, sizes, and positions, increasing welding flexibility and applicability. The welding table 32 can quickly and orderly deliver the material 200 to the welding device 31. The rapid welding capability of the laser welding gun 314 and the efficient movement of each linear module make the entire welding process efficient and smooth, greatly improving welding efficiency. The fixed bracket 311 provides stable support for the entire welding device 31, ensuring stable operation of all moving parts, reducing equipment shaking and errors, and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the welding process.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the welding table 32 includes a first X-axis linear module 321 mounted on the mounting surface 100, a first connecting bracket 322 slidably connected to the first X-axis linear module 321, a fixture 300 connected to the first connecting bracket 322, a second rotary cylinder 323 disposed on the first connecting bracket 322, and a second pressure rod 324 connected to the second rotary cylinder 323. The fixture 300 is also provided with a second positioning cylinder 325.

[0053] In practice, the welding table 32 moves along the first X-axis linear module 321. The fixture 300 on the welding table 32 receives the material conveyed by the material transfer mechanism 5. The second positioning cylinder 325 actuates, positioning the material 200 through the positioning head to ensure the accurate position of the material 200 on the fixture 300. The second rotary cylinder 323 drives the second pressure rod 324 to rotate, pressing the material 200 on the fixture 300 to prevent displacement of the material 200 during subsequent conveying and welding. The first X-axis linear module 321 restarts, driving the first connecting bracket 322 and its fixture 300, material 200, etc., to move in the X-axis direction, conveying the material 200 to the required welding position of the welding device 31. When the material 200 reaches the welding position, the welding device 31 performs laser welding on the material 200. During the welding process, the second pressure rod 324 continuously presses the material 200 to ensure the stability of the welding. After welding is completed, the second rotary cylinder 323 drives the second pressure rod 324 to rotate and release the material 200, and the cycle continues.

[0054] As described above, the first X-axis linear module 321 accurately conveys the material 200 along the X-axis, ensuring that the material 200 accurately reaches the welding position, thus improving welding accuracy and efficiency. The second positioning cylinder 325 positions the material 200, and the second rotary cylinder 323 drives the second pressure rod 324 to press the material 200, ensuring stable positioning of the material 200 during welding, reducing welding defects, and improving welding quality. The fixture 300 is designed for easy loading and unloading of the material 200. Simultaneously, the coordinated operation of all components automates material conveying, positioning, and fixing, improving operational convenience and production efficiency. The close cooperation and stable connection between the aforementioned components ensure the stability and reliability of the welding table 32 during operation, effectively guaranteeing the pass rate of material 200 welding and reducing the probability of equipment failure.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, the material transfer mechanism 5 of this invention includes a second X-axis linear module 51, a second connecting bracket 52 slidably connected to the second X-axis linear module 51, a second Y-axis linear module 53 mounted on the second connecting bracket 52, a third connecting bracket 54 slidably connected to the second Y-axis linear module 53, and a rotary gripper cylinder 55 and a motor 56 mounted on the third connecting bracket 54. The upper end of the rotary gripper cylinder 55 is drively connected to the motor 56.

[0056] When the material transfer mechanism 5 is in operation, based on the location of the material 200 and the location of the target mechanism, the second X-axis linear module 51 and the second Y-axis linear module 53 work together to drive the third connecting bracket 54 and its rotating gripper cylinder 55 and motor 56 to move to the location of the material. Simultaneously, the Z-axis position of the rotating gripper cylinder 55 is adjusted to accommodate the material height. The grippers of the rotating gripper cylinder 55 close, gripping the material 200. The motor 56 starts, driving the rotating gripper cylinder 55 to rotate, adjusting the material to a suitable angle. The second X-axis linear module 51 and the second Y-axis linear module 53 work together again to transfer the gripped and rotated material 200 to the target mechanism, such as the riveting mechanism 2, the laser welding mechanism 3, or the receiving table 4. Upon reaching the target position, the grippers of the rotating gripper cylinder 55 open, placing the material 200 on the target mechanism. After material 200 is placed, the second X-axis linear module 51 and the second Y-axis linear module 53 drive the rotary gripper cylinder 55 and motor 56 back to the initial position, waiting for the next material transfer task.

[0057] In this case, the combination of rotary gripper cylinder 55 and motor 56 is preferably provided in three sets, which are used synchronously for material transfer between material storage mechanism 1, riveting mechanism 2, laser welding mechanism 3 and receiving table 4, respectively, realizing synchronous and rapid transfer of material 200 between multiple mechanisms and improving production efficiency. In specific implementation, the rotary gripper cylinder 55 can be adjusted in position relative to the third connecting bracket 54 along the Z-axis direction. This adjustment can be achieved through bolts, connecting plates and connecting holes to adapt to different types of material 200.

[0058] This design achieves rapid and precise movement of material 200 through the coordinated operation of the second X-axis linear module 51 and the second Y-axis linear module 53. Combined with the gripping and rotating functions of the rotary gripper cylinder 55, it improves the efficiency of material transfer between multiple mechanisms. The combination of three sets of rotary gripper cylinders 55 and motor 56 allows for synchronous material transfer between the material storage mechanism 1, riveting mechanism 2, laser welding mechanism 3, and receiving table 4, enabling simultaneous operation of multiple mechanisms and further improving production efficiency. The rotary gripper cylinder 55 can be adjusted along the Z-axis to accommodate materials of different heights, increasing the applicability of the material transfer mechanism 5 and enabling it to handle materials of various specifications. The motor 56 drives the rotary gripper cylinder 55 to rotate, precisely adjusting the material's posture and ensuring accurate placement angles in different mechanisms, providing a good foundation for subsequent processing.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the receiving platform 4 includes a second support platform 41 mounted on the mounting surface 100 and a fixture 300 connected to the upper end of the second support platform 41. The second support platform 41 is used to lift the fixture 300 to a suitable height to receive the material conveyed by the material transfer mechanism 5, and at the same time facilitates the material gripping by the unloading mechanism 6.

[0060] Continue as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the unloading mechanism 6 includes a fourth Z-axis linear module 61 mounted on the frame, a telescopic cylinder 62 slidably connected to the lower end of the fourth Z-axis linear module 61, a first gripper cylinder 63 connected to the lower end of the telescopic cylinder 62, and a third X-axis linear module 64.

[0061] In practical implementation, the third X-axis linear module 64 extends along the X-axis to the material storage mechanism 1 and then protrudes out. The user can set the length of the third X-axis linear module 64 according to requirements to control the number of processed materials 200 placed on the third X-axis linear module 64, in order to match the speed of manual material inspection and unloading of the sealing machine in this case. Several removable fixtures 300 are slidably arranged on the third X-axis linear module 64 for placing the processed materials 200. The processed materials 200 are continuously transported to the right along the third X-axis linear module 64 for manual unloading from the unloading window of the automatic sealing machine in this case.

[0062] When the unloading mechanism 6 is working, the fourth Z-axis linear module 61 drives the telescopic cylinder 62 and the first gripper cylinder 63 to move above the receiving platform 4. Then, the telescopic cylinder 62 extends, driving the first gripper cylinder 63 to descend to the position of the fixture 300 on the receiving platform 4 where the material 200 is placed. The grippers of the first gripper cylinder 63 close, gripping the material 200 on the fixture 300. The telescopic cylinder 62 retracts, driving the first gripper cylinder 63 to rise, simultaneously driving the material 200 to rise synchronously, so that the material 200 leaves the fixture 300 on the receiving platform 4. While the material 200 is being lifted, the third X-axis linear module 64 drives the fixture 300 queue to move to the left, moving the empty fixture 300 to a position directly below the fourth Z-axis linear module 61, ready to receive the material 200. The fourth Z-axis linear module 61 moves to directly above the empty fixture 300, the telescopic cylinder 62 extends, and places the material 200 into the positioning slot of the fixture 300. Then, the grippers of the first gripper cylinder 63 release, allowing the material 200 to be stably placed on the fixture 300. The third X-axis linear module 64 continues to drive the fixture 300 to move to the right, transporting the fixture 300 containing the material 200 to the unloading window of the automatic sealing machine. The worker removes the material 200 through the unloading window, inspects it, and places it into a turnover box, completing one unloading operation. Afterward, the system repeats the above steps to continue unloading the next material 200.

[0063] As described above, through the coordinated operation of the fourth Z-axis linear module 61, the telescopic cylinder 62, the first gripper cylinder 63, and the third X-axis linear module 64, the automated transfer and transportation of material 200 from the receiving table 4 to the unloading window is achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. The micro-feed function of the telescopic cylinder 62 and the flexible gripper head that the first gripper cylinder 63 may employ prevent damage to material 200 during gripping and transfer, ensuring the quality of material 200. Users can adjust the length of the third X-axis linear module 64 according to the actual manual inspection and unloading speed, thereby controlling the number of fixtures 300 and the storage quantity of material 200, enabling the unloading mechanism 6 to better adapt to different production rhythms and needs. The fixtures 300 provide a stable placement platform for material 200, ensuring that material 200 does not shift during transportation, facilitating accurate and rapid manual removal of material 200 from the unloading window, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of unloading.

[0064] It should be noted that the description of the number of corresponding mechanisms, components, etc. added to maximize the production efficiency of the equipment in this case is only a preferred example. In actual operation, users can choose to set an appropriate number according to their needs, and are not limited to the number mentioned in this application.

[0065] The fixtures 300 mentioned in this case are all connected to each other in a detachable manner, such as by bolts or snap-fits. This allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the corresponding product fixtures when different materials 200 need to be processed using the sealing machine in this case. As a result, the sealing machine in this case can be applied to the production of various types of materials, effectively saving costs, such as the cost of replacing equipment and the cost of changing production lines.

[0066] Linear modules are a well-known technology in this field. Currently, widely used linear modules can be divided into three types: synchronous belt type, ball screw type, and linear motor type, which will not be elaborated further here. Unless otherwise specified, the linear modules mentioned in this case are preferably linear motor type linear modules. This type of linear module has a simple structure, high acceleration, fast response, high precision, and is convenient for long-stroke movement.

[0067] As stated above, this case protects a 3DVC automatic sealing machine, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
