Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pipe production technology, and more specifically, to a multi-station heat pipe synchronous length-fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] A heat pipe is a passive thermal management element that utilizes the principle of phase change to achieve highly efficient heat transfer, with a heat transfer efficiency hundreds or even thousands of times that of metallic copper. Due to its characteristics of "passive high efficiency and isothermal heat transfer," heat pipes have become an indispensable thermal management technology in fields such as electronics, aerospace, and new energy. In the heat pipe manufacturing process, after the liquid filling process, the heat pipe needs to be cut to a fixed length to adapt to the installation environment.

[0003] Existing heat pipe length-cutting equipment requires stopping the equipment and unloading and reloading the entire batch after cutting, making continuous length-cutting impossible and causing difficulties in heat pipe installation, resulting in low cutting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-station heat pipe synchronous length-fixed device for rapid installation and continuous cutting of heat pipes.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A multi-station heat pipe synchronous length-fixing device includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] Several fixing mechanisms are horizontally spaced on the machine base; each fixing mechanism includes an adjusting lower mold and a fixed upper mold; the fixed upper mold is disposed on the machine base; the adjusting lower mold is disposed on the machine base and located below the fixed upper mold, for clamping the heat pipe and placing the heat pipe against the fixed upper mold;

[0009] Several shearing mechanisms are arranged on the machine base and are positioned opposite to several fixed upper molds one by one, for cutting the heat pipes that rest against the fixed upper molds;

[0010] Several material guiding mechanisms are disposed between the adjusting lower mold and the fixed upper mold to guide the heat pipe to the adjusting lower mold.

[0011] The technical solution described above in this application example has at least the following technical effects:

[0012] This fixed-length equipment is equipped with several fixing mechanisms and several shearing mechanisms at intervals. The fixing mechanism includes an adjusting lower die and a fixed upper die. The equipment also has a material guiding mechanism for guiding the heat pipe into the adjusting lower die. The worker only needs to place the heat pipe into one of the material guiding mechanisms, which guides the heat pipe to the adjusting lower die. The adjusting lower die and the fixed upper die work together to fix the heat pipe, and then the shearing mechanism automatically completes the shearing. While the shearing mechanism is performing the shearing operation, the worker can take out the heat pipe that has been sheared in another fixing mechanism and continue to put the heat pipe into the material guiding mechanism. The shearing mechanism continues the shearing process. Through this repeated operation, continuous shearing is achieved. At the same time, the guiding installation function of the material guiding mechanism improves the worker's installation speed of heat pipe, reduces the worker's labor intensity, and improves production efficiency.

[0013] In some embodiments, adjusting the lower mold includes:

[0014] A movable component, mounted on the base, is used to move the heat pipe against the fixed upper mold;

[0015] A lifting component, connected to the output end of the moving component, is used to adjust the length of the heat pipe by raising or lowering it;

[0016] A clamping component is connected to the output end of the lifting component and is used to clamp the heat pipe.

[0017] In some embodiments, the base has a mounting bracket for connecting and fixing the fixed upper mold; the fixed upper mold is provided with a groove for mounting heat pipes.

[0018] In some embodiments, the multi-station heat pipe synchronous length fixing device further includes a pressing mechanism disposed on the machine base and opposite to the fixed upper mold, for pressing the heat pipe onto the fixed upper mold.

[0019] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism includes:

[0020] A fixing block is movably disposed on the machine base along the direction of the fixed upper mold;

[0021] A sliding component, the output end of which is connected to the fixed block, is used to drive the fixed block to press against the heat pipe and cooperate with the fixed upper mold to fix one end of the heat pipe away from the adjusting lower mold.

[0022] In some embodiments, a clearance groove is provided in the middle of the fixing block; the shearing mechanism includes:

[0023] A cutting blade is disposed within the clearance groove along the direction of the fixed upper die;

[0024] A shearing drive unit, the output end of which is connected to the cutting blade, is used to drive the cutting blade to cut the heat pipe.

[0025] In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism is a conduit that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0026] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the material guiding mechanism is fixedly connected to the adjusting lower mold. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a multi-station heat pipe synchronous length fixing device, comprising:

[0035] A base 10. Several fixing mechanisms 20 are horizontally spaced on the base 10. Each fixing mechanism 20 includes an adjusting lower die 21 and a fixed upper die 22. The fixed upper die 22 is mounted on the base 10. The adjusting lower die 21 is mounted on the base 10 and located below the fixed upper die 22, used to clamp the heat pipe and hold it against the fixed upper die 22. Several shearing mechanisms 30 are mounted on the base 10 and correspond one-to-one with the fixed upper dies 22, used to cut the heat pipe resting against the fixed upper die 22. Several guiding mechanisms 50 are located between the adjusting lower die 21 and the fixed upper die 22, used to guide the heat pipe to the adjusting lower die 21.

[0036] Understandably, the fixing mechanism 20 is a component that fixes a heat pipe of a certain length. For example, it could be a chuck-type centering clamp or an elastic sleeve mechanism, but it is not limited to these. The adjusting lower mold 21 is a component that fixes one end of the heat pipe and moves it to align with the fixed upper mold 22. For example, it could be a combination of a gripper and an electric push rod moving mechanism, or a combination of a pneumatic clamp and a nut screw moving mechanism, but it is not limited to these. The fixed upper mold 22 is a component that places the other end of the heat pipe. For example, it could be a movable placement mold or a fixed placement mold, but it is not limited to these. The shearing mechanism 30 is a component that cuts off the excess portion of the heat pipe in various ways. For example, it could be a sawing shearing mechanism 30 or a steel blade shearing mechanism 30, but it is not limited to these. The guiding mechanism 50 is a component located between the adjusting lower mold 21 and the fixed upper mold 22 for quickly introducing the heat pipe. For example, it could be a straight guide tube or a moving guiding mechanism 50, but it is not limited to these.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the device is equipped with multiple fixing mechanisms 20 and multiple shearing mechanisms 30. The worker puts the heat pipe into the fixing mechanism 20 through the material guiding mechanism 50, and can then take down the heat pipe that has been cut at the next fixing mechanism 20 and shearing mechanism 30 and put in a new heat pipe, thereby realizing continuous cutting at multiple stations. At the same time, the heat pipe is quickly introduced through the material guiding mechanism 50, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency.

[0038] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The adjusting lower mold 21 includes: a movable component 211, mounted on the base 10, for moving the heat pipe to press against the fixed upper mold 22; a lifting component 212, connected to the output end of the movable component 211, for adjusting the length of the heat pipe; and a clamping component 213, connected to the output end of the lifting component 212, for clamping the heat pipe.

[0039] Understandably, the moving part 211 is a component that moves the heat pipe closer to or further away from the fixed upper mold 22. It can be, for example, an electric push rod mechanism or a nut and screw mechanism, but is not limited to these. The lifting part 212 is a component that adjusts the distance between the fixed upper mold 22 and the clamping part 213. The clamping part 213 is a component that fixes one end of the heat pipe. It can be, for example, a pneumatic gripper mechanism or a chuck-type clamping mechanism, but is not limited to these.

[0040] With this configuration, the distance between the fixed upper mold 22 and the clamping component 213 can be adjusted by the lifting component 212 to change the required heat pipe length. When it is necessary to change product specifications, the mold does not need to be disassembled, reducing mold change time. At the same time, the clamping component 213 can quickly clamp and release the heat pipe, enabling rapid loading and unloading of the heat pipe and improving production efficiency.

[0041] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The base 10 has a mounting bracket 11 for connecting and fixing the upper mold. The upper mold 22 is provided with a groove 221 for mounting the heat pipe.

[0042] Understandably, the mounting bracket 11 is a component that fixes the upper mold 22 to a fixed position on the base 10. For example, it can be a cantilever mounting bracket or a frame mounting bracket, but it is not limited to these. The groove 221 is a slot used to place the heat pipe. For example, it can be a circular groove or a trapezoidal groove, but it is not limited to these.

[0043] With this design, the groove 221 for installing the heat pipe can not only make the heat pipe more stable during shearing, but also prevent the heat pipe from deforming due to excessive pressure during stamping.

[0044] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The multi-station heat pipe synchronous length fixing device also includes a pressing mechanism 40 mounted on the base 10 and opposite to the fixed upper mold 22, used to press the heat pipe onto the fixed upper mold 22. The pressing mechanism 40 includes: a fixing block 41, movably mounted on the base 10 along the direction of the fixed upper mold 22; and a sliding member 42, the output end of which is connected to the fixing block 41, used to drive the fixing block 41 to press onto the heat pipe, and cooperate with the fixed upper mold 22 to fix the end of the heat pipe away from the adjusting lower mold 21.

[0045] Understandably, the pressing mechanism 40 is a component that cooperates with the fixed upper mold 22 to fix the heat pipe. For example, it could be a nut and screw pressing mechanism, or an electric push rod pressing mechanism, but it is not limited to these. The sliding member 42 drives the fixed block 41 to move, pressing or releasing the heat pipe.

[0046] This configuration, by pressing the heat pipe with the pressing mechanism 40, prevents the shearing mechanism 40 from shaking during shearing of the heat pipe, which could cause burrs or other problems on the shearing surface.

[0047] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A clearance groove 411 is provided in the middle of the fixed block 41. The shearing mechanism 40 includes: a cutting blade 32, which is disposed in the clearance groove 411 along the direction of the fixed upper die 22; and a shearing drive 31, the output end of which is connected to the cutting blade 32, for driving the cutting blade 32 to cut the heat pipe.

[0048] Understandably, the cutting blade 32 is a tool for cutting heat pipes. The clearance groove 411 provides space for the cutting blade 32 to move, so the size of the clearance groove 411 varies depending on the type of cutting blade 32. For example, it can be a round-bladed cutting blade, laterally positioned within the clearance groove 411, with the clearance groove 411 larger than the diameter of the round blade. It can also be a straight-bladed cutting blade, with the width of the clearance groove 411 slightly larger than that of the cutting blade 32, etc., but it is not limited to these. The shearing drive 31 is a driver that drives the cutting blade 32. For example, it can be a telescopic driver, a nut screw driver, etc., but it is not limited to these.

[0049] With this design, the clearance groove 411 guides the movement trajectory of the cutting blade 32, preventing the cutting blade 32 from jamming and threatening the safety of workers.

[0050] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The material guiding mechanism 50 is a pipe that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom end of the material guiding mechanism 50 is fixedly connected to the adjusting lower mold 21.

[0051] Understandably, since the adjustment lower mold 21 needs to move to adjust the relative position of the heat pipe and the fixed upper mold 22, the material guiding mechanism 50 needs to be fixed on the adjustment lower mold 21 and move together with the adjustment lower mold 21. For example, it can be fixed by locating pins or by welding, but it is not limited to these methods.

[0052] With this configuration, the material guiding mechanism 50 moves with the adjustment of the lower mold 21, ensuring the accuracy of material guiding by the material guiding mechanism 50.

[0053] As can be seen from the above, the heat pipe is lowered from the material guiding mechanism 50 and introduced into the adjusting lower mold 21. The adjusting lower mold 21 clamps the heat pipe, and at the same time, the moving part 211 drives the heat pipe to move and rest against the groove of the fixed upper mold 22. The pressing mechanism presses on the heat pipe to fix the heat pipe, and the shearing mechanism 30 cuts the heat pipe. Then the worker removes the heat pipe, puts in a new heat pipe, takes out the next heat pipe of the fixed upper mold 22 and puts in an unprocessed heat pipe, and repeats this step.

[0054] 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.
