Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of radiator production equipment, specifically a radiator tube storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Radiators are commonly used in automotive cooling systems. Radiators are typically square-shaped and consist of several parts, including a water chamber (inlet / outlet chamber), a radiator core (composed of alternating heat dissipation strips and heat pipes), a main board, and side panels. During assembly, the radiator core needs to be arranged first, which involves arranging the heat dissipation strips and heat pipes alternately.

[0003] In the current radiator assembly process, the heat sink tubes are typically fed manually by stacking them and then spreading them out on a conveyor belt into the assembly machine. This requires frequent manual replenishment of the heat sink tubes, making the operation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a heat dissipation pipe storage device that can store a large number of heat dissipation pipes without the need for frequent manual replenishment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] The heat dissipation pipe storage device includes two hoppers arranged at intervals and opposite each other. Each hopper includes a support, partitions, a motor and a transmission assembly. There are two motors, which are respectively located at both ends of the support. The transmission assembly is connected to the motor. There are multiple partitions, which are vertically connected to the transmission assembly at intervals. The motor drives the partitions to move through the transmission assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft, sprockets, and chains; there are two rotating shafts, each connected to a motor; there are at least four sprockets, symmetrically connected to the rotating shafts; and there are at least two chains, connected to two sprockets on the same horizontal plane and surrounding the outside of the bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission assembly has eight sprockets, with four sprockets connected to a rotating shaft, and the transmission assembly has four chains, with each chain connected to two sprockets on the same horizontal plane.

[0009] Furthermore, one shaft consists of a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a third sprocket, and a fourth sprocket from top to bottom, and another shaft consists of a fifth sprocket, a sixth sprocket, a seventh sprocket, and an eighth sprocket from top to bottom.

The first chain is connected to the first sprocket and the fifth sprocket, the second chain is connected to the second sprocket and the sixth sprocket, the third chain is connected to the third sprocket and the seventh sprocket, and the fourth chain is connected to the fourth sprocket and the eighth sprocket.

[0011] Furthermore, the partition includes alternating main partitions and secondary partitions, the main partitions being connected to the first chain and the third chain, and the secondary partitions being connected to the second chain and the fourth chain.

[0012] Furthermore, the first chain, the second chain, the third chain, and the fourth chain are all provided with connecting pieces at intervals, and the connecting pieces are provided with connecting holes. The main spacer and the auxiliary spacer are connected to the connecting pieces through fasteners and connecting holes.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a spacing adjustment assembly, which includes an adjustment motor, a reducer, a lead screw, a lead screw nut, and a connecting block.

[0014] Furthermore, the spacing adjustment assembly also includes a slide rail located at the bottom of the bracket, the slide rail being parallel to the lead screw, and a slider adapted to the slide rail being located at the bottom of the bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, both the main partition and the secondary partition are bent and have a connecting bottom surface and a retaining edge.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Example

[0027] refer to Figure 1-4 The heat dissipation pipe storage device includes two hoppers arranged at intervals and opposite each other. Each hopper includes a support 1, a partition, a motor 3 and a transmission assembly. There are two motors 3, which are located at both ends of the support 1.

[0028] The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 41, sprockets, and chains; there are two rotating shafts 41, each connected to a motor 3; there are at least four sprockets, symmetrically connected to the rotating shafts 41; there are at least two chains, connected to two sprockets on the same horizontal plane and surrounding the outside of the bracket 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly has eight sprockets, with four sprockets connected to a rotating shaft 41. The transmission assembly has four chains, with each chain connected to two sprockets on the same horizontal plane.

[0030] Specifically, one shaft 41 has, from top to bottom, a first sprocket 421, a second sprocket 422, a third sprocket 423, and a fourth sprocket 424; the other shaft 41 has, from top to bottom, a fifth sprocket 425, a sixth sprocket 426, a seventh sprocket 427, and an eighth sprocket 428. The first sprocket 421, the third sprocket 423, the sixth sprocket 426, and the eighth sprocket 428 are keyed to the shaft 41, while the second sprocket 422, the fourth sprocket 424, the fifth sprocket 425, and the seventh sprocket 427 are freely rotating connected to the shaft 41.

[0031] The chains, from top to bottom, are the first chain 431, the second chain 432, the third chain 433, and the fourth chain 434. The first chain 431 is connected to the first sprocket 421 and the fifth sprocket 425. The second chain 432 is connected to the second sprocket 422 and the sixth sprocket 426. The third chain 433 is connected to the third sprocket 423 and the seventh sprocket 427. The fourth chain 434 is connected to the fourth sprocket 424 and the eighth sprocket 428.

[0032] The partition includes alternating main partitions 21 and secondary partitions 22. The main partitions 21 are connected to the first chain 431 and the third chain 433, and the secondary partitions 22 are connected to the second chain 432 and the fourth chain 434. Both the main partitions 21 and the secondary partitions 22 are bent and have connecting bottom surfaces and retaining edges. The space between the main partitions 21 and the secondary partitions 22 constitutes an accommodating space.

[0033] The first chain 431, the second chain 432, the third chain 433 and the fourth chain 434 are all provided with connecting pieces 44 at intervals. The connecting pieces 44 are provided with connecting holes. The connecting bottom surfaces of the main partition 21 and the auxiliary partition 22 are connected to the connecting pieces 44 through fasteners and connecting holes.

[0034] This utility model also includes a spacing adjustment assembly, which includes an adjustment motor (not shown in the figure), a reducer 51, a lead screw 52, ​​a lead screw nut 53, and a connecting block 54. The lead screw 52 is provided with a first threaded section and a second threaded section in opposite directions. There are two lead screw nuts 53, which are respectively provided on the first threaded section and the second threaded section. When the lead screw 52 rotates, the two lead screw nuts 53 move towards or away from each other. There are two connecting blocks 54, which are connected to the lead screw nut 53 and the bracket 1.

[0035] The spacing adjustment assembly also includes a slide rail 55 located at the bottom of the bracket 1. The slide rail 55 is parallel to the lead screw 52, ​​and the bottom of the bracket 1 is provided with a slider 56 that is adapted to the slide rail 55.

[0036] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two hoppers, the adjusting motor drives the lead screw 52 to rotate through the reducer 51. When the lead screw 52 rotates, the two lead screw nuts 53 move towards or away from each other, so that the two hoppers slide on the slide rail 55 and move a distance, thereby adjusting the distance between the two hoppers.

[0037] In use, the distance between the two hoppers can be adjusted according to the length of the heat dissipation pipe using the spacing adjustment component. Simultaneously, based on the width of the heat dissipation pipe, a single motor 3 in the hopper drives a sprocket connected to the rotating shaft 41, causing the chain connected to the sprocket to travel a certain distance (at which point one of the main partition 21 and the auxiliary partition 22 moves), thereby adjusting the spacing between the main partition 21 and the auxiliary partition 22. The heat dissipation pipe is then manually placed into the accommodating space formed by the main partition 21 and the auxiliary partition 22 in the two opposing hoppers. The heat dissipation pipes in the hoppers are retrieved by the heat dissipation pipe feeding device of the radiator assembly machine (such as a suction cup or robotic arm). When the heat dissipation pipes in the hopper closest to the radiator assembly machine's feeding end are used up, the chain driven by motor 3 moves the partition with sufficient heat dissipation pipes towards the feeding end.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
