Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary assembly tools for heat sinks, and in particular to a positioning device for assembling heat sink pins. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of computer hardware, the heatsink is primarily responsible for conducting and dissipating heat generated by heat-generating components such as the CPU and GPU to maintain stable system operation. To ensure effective heat transfer between the heatsink and the motherboard or other heat-generating components, the heatsink needs to be connected to these components via pins. These pins may have different numbers of pins depending on the design, such as three-pin or four-pin, to meet different heat dissipation requirements and control methods.

[0003] Currently, heatsink pin mounting typically relies on a specific mounting tool. This tool securely holds the heatsink in place during installation. The pins are then placed one by one into their pre-set positions on the heatsink, ensuring precise alignment between the pin's screw holes and the heatsink's screw holes. Once aligned, the operator can use screws or other fasteners to secure the pins to the heatsink, completing the installation process.

[0004] While existing technologies enable pin mounting on heatsinks, they reveal several issues in practical applications. First, the bayonet size of heatsinks is typically fixed, meaning pins must be perfectly aligned to be secured, increasing installation difficulty and complexity. Second, because pin placement is also fixed, existing devices lack sufficient flexibility when different pin counts are required. Utility Model Content

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the positioning device, as follows:

[0024] A positioning device for assembling heat sink pins, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a mounting plate 2, and an adjustment assembly. The mounting plate 2 is connected to the base 1. The top of the mounting plate 2 has multiple sets of pin positioning slots 3, and each set consists of six pin positioning slots 3 to accommodate the placement and installation of pins with different numbers of pins. The front side of the mounting plate 2 has a heat sink slot 4, which is semi-open, so that the heat sink does not need to be fully aligned before it can be inserted. The mounting plate 2 is equipped with an adjustment assembly, which is used to adjust the position of the heat sink.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a fixed plate 5, a positioning plate 6, and an adjustment screw 7. The fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base 1 by screws. The adjustment screw 7 is threadedly connected to the fixed plate 5. The bottom of the positioning plate 6 is slidably connected to the base 1. The adjustment screw 7 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 6, and a plum blossom handle is provided at the right end of the adjustment screw 7.

[0026] The staff places the heatsink with the pins to be installed on the base 1, then aligns the heatsink with the heatsink slot 4 and slides it along the heatsink slot 4. When the right end of the heatsink contacts the adjustment component, the pin to be installed is taken out, the pin is aligned with the pin positioning slot 3, and placed stably on the heatsink. Then the screws are tightened with tools to complete the pin installation. Since there are multiple sets of pin positioning slots 3 on the top of the mounting plate 2, multiple pins can be placed at one time to meet the assembly requirements of multi-pin heatsinks. Then the heatsink with the pins installed is taken out and the assembly of the next heatsink is carried out.

[0027] When the first heatsink is placed on the base 1, align it with the heatsink slot 4, then align the pins with the pin positioning slot 3. Move the heatsink left and right until the threaded holes of the two components are aligned. If the heatsink is just touching the right end of the heatsink slot 4 at this time, it means that its position is correct and no further adjustment is needed through the positioning plate 5. If there is a gap between the right end of the heatsink slot 4 and the heatsink, the operator should rotate the adjusting screw 7 and press down on the heatsink. During the rotation of the adjusting screw, the adjusting screw rotates within the fixing plate 5 and pushes the positioning plate 6 to the left, pressing against the heatsink. Then, release the adjusting screw to limit the heatsink's position. For subsequent heatsink placement, simply place the right end of the heatsink against the positioning plate 6. The threaded holes of the pins must be aligned with the threaded holes of the heatsink for easy installation and to accommodate heatsinks of different specifications.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a placement box 8 and a slider 9. The placement box 8 is provided on the left and rear sides of the base 1, and the slider 9 is connected to the placement box 8. The slider 9 is slidably connected to the side of the base 1, and the slider 9 is in the shape of a "T".

[0029] The placement box 8 is connected to the side of the base 1 via a slider 9 and can be disassembled. Multiple placement boxes 8 can be set up, each containing screws, three-pin leads, four-pin leads, etc. The placement boxes 8 containing the parts needed for this batch of heat sinks are fixed to the side of the base 1, making it convenient for staff to pick them up and improving work efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a cover strip 12, which is slidably connected to the pin positioning groove 3. The cover strip 12 is used to limit the placement position of the pin.

[0031] For pins with different pin counts, the pin positioning slots 3 for pin placement are determined at the same time as the heat sink position is determined by the positioning plate 6. Unused pin positioning slots 3 are inserted into the cover strip 12 to ensure that the pins are not placed in the wrong pin positioning slots 3 when they are put in later, thus further optimizing the installation process.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a handle 10, which is attached to the side of the placement box 8.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an identification card 11, which is attached to the placement box 8. The identification card 11 is used to mark the items inside the placement box 8.

[0034] The handle 10 makes it easier to move the placement box 8. The parts placed in each placement box 8 are recorded by the identification card 11. When selecting parts, you can simply look at the identification card 11 without picking up the parts to check. This also prevents confusion when replenishing parts, thus ensuring a smooth workflow.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a smoothing pad 13, which is laid on the base 1. The smoothing pad 13 is used to reduce the friction between the heat sink and the base 1.

[0036] The radiator slot 4 has an opening on one side, which makes it easy to push the radiator. When pushing the radiator, the smooth pad 13 can reduce the friction between the radiator and the base 1, making the radiator move more smoothly and effortlessly, and also reducing the wear and tear on the radiator caused by friction.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes suction cups 14, and multiple suction cups 14 are connected to the bottom of the base 1.

[0038] The suction cup 14 can stabilize the base 1, ensuring the stability of the assembly process.

[0039] The operator first places the heat sink on the base 1 and slides it along the semi-open heat sink slot 4 to the appropriate position. Then, according to the heat sink specifications, the operator moves the positioning plate 6 by rotating the adjusting screw 7 until the positioning plate 6 is tightly against the heat sink, ensuring precise alignment between the heat sink and the pin positioning slot 3. The operator can place pins as needed in the multiple pre-set pin positioning slots 3 on the mounting plate 2, and use the cover strip 12 to cover unused pin positioning slots 3 to prevent misplacement. Meanwhile, the placement box 8 on the side of the base 1 is flexibly installed via the slider 9, and can be configured to store screws, pins with different pin counts, and other parts as needed. It can be easily moved via the handle 10, and the identification card 11 clearly records the items in each placement box 8 for quick retrieval. During the movement of the heat sink, the smooth pad 13 effectively reduces friction with the base 1, ensuring smooth operation. In addition, the suction cup 14 at the bottom of the base 1 firmly adheres to the work surface, ensuring the stability of the entire assembly process.
