Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing equipment technology, and in particular to an assembly device for a cooling fan. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cooling fans are key components in electronic devices used for forced convection cooling, and are widely used in computers, communication equipment, and home appliances. Their structure typically includes components such as fan blades, a frame, bearings, and a drive motor, requiring efficient and precise assembly of each part during the manufacturing process.

[0003] The assembly of cooling fans is a key process to ensure the stable operation of equipment. The installation of cooling fans usually requires adjusting the angle and position of the fan according to different component structures (such as heat sinks, mounting brackets or housings) to adapt to specific assembly requirements.

[0004] During transportation, cooling fans are typically placed directly onto the mounting base. Traditional assembly methods rely heavily on manual operation, where workers manually adjust the fan's angle and align it with the mounting holes before securing it. This manual adjustment process requires multiple attempts to find the correct angle, and over time, it becomes difficult to guarantee consistency in each adjustment. This can lead to installation deviations, affecting cooling performance and even causing vibration and noise.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an assembly device that can adjust the angle of the cooling fan to improve assembly efficiency and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an assembly device for cooling fans, which solves the technical problem that it is difficult to ensure the consistency of each adjustment of the cooling fan by manual means, which may lead to installation deviation of the cooling fan.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An assembly device for a cooling fan includes: a frame for supporting the assembly device, a conveyor belt mounted on the frame for conveying cooling fans; a conveying mechanism including a linear guide rail and a slider slidably disposed on the guide rail; a first loading mechanism including a rotary electric gripper and a first servo motor for driving its rotation, the rotary electric gripper being used to grip the cooling fans on the conveyor belt and rotate about the axis of the first servo motor to adjust the angle of the cooling fans; and a first adjusting component, the first servo motor being mounted on the frame via the first adjusting component, the first adjusting component being used for... The first part is a rotating electric gripper that drives the rotating electric gripper and moves the cooling fan on the conveyor belt onto the slider. The second part is a feeding mechanism that includes a vibratory feeder and a second adjusting component. The vibratory feeder is used to feed parts, and the second adjusting component is mounted on the frame. A pressing component is provided on the second adjusting component, and the second adjusting component is used to drive the pressing component to press the parts onto the cooling fan. The third part is a feeding mechanism that includes a feeding clamp and a second servo motor that drives the clamp to open and close. The second servo motor also drives the feeding clamp to open and close. The fourth part is a third adjusting component that drives the second servo motor to move on the frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a first vision camera is provided on the side of the frame near the conveyor belt. The first vision camera is signal-connected to the first adjustment component and is used to position the cooling fan on the conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, a second vision camera is provided on the side of the frame near the vibratory feeder. The second vision camera is signal-connected to the second adjustment component and is used to position the parts on the vibratory feeder.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressing assembly includes a material-taking cylinder and a material-pressing cylinder. The material-taking cylinder is mounted on the second adjusting assembly, and the material-pressing cylinder is slidably mounted on the material-taking cylinder. A vacuum nozzle is installed on the material-pressing cylinder, and the vacuum nozzle is connected to an external vacuum generator.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects of the assembly equipment for cooling fans:

[0016] 1. When assembling cooling fan parts, the cooling fan is placed on a conveyor belt. Then, the electric gripper rotates and the first servo motor and the first adjustment component move the cooling fan on the conveyor belt to the slider. The cooling fan slides on the frame via the slider and guide rail. As the cooling fan slides, the vibratory feeder feeds the parts. Then, the pressing component presses the parts onto the cooling fan via the second adjustment component. After the parts are pressed, the unloading clamp removes the workpiece from the slider via the second servo motor and the third adjustment component. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the cooling fan angle, improves the consistency of the cooling fan after each adjustment, and reduces the installation deviation of the cooling fan parts.

[0018] 3. The stability of the cooling fan during the feeding and processing process is improved by setting positioning pins and baffles. Attached Figure Description

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0027] This application discloses an assembly device for a cooling fan.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 An assembly device for cooling fans includes a frame 1, on which a conveyor belt 11 and a conveying mechanism 2 are mounted. In use, the operator places the cooling fan on the conveyor belt 11, and the conveying mechanism 2 transports the cooling fan during the pressing process. The frame 1 is equipped with a first feeding mechanism 3 and a second feeding mechanism 4. The first feeding mechanism 3 places the cooling fan on the conveying mechanism 2, and the second feeding mechanism 4 presses the part onto the cooling fan. The frame 1 also includes an unloading mechanism 5, which removes the pressed-on cooling fan from the conveying mechanism 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 Two sets of conveying mechanisms 2 are spaced apart on the frame 1, and are arranged in parallel intervals. These two sets of conveying mechanisms 2 alternately transport the cooling fans, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the cooling fans. A first feeding mechanism 3, a second feeding mechanism 4, and a discharging mechanism 5 are sequentially arranged on the frame 1 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanisms 2. Since the structures and functions of the two sets of conveying mechanisms 2 are identical, only one set will be described below. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a linear guide rail 21, on which a slider 22 is mounted. A positioning pin 23 is mounted on the slider 22, with one end of the positioning pin 23 connected to the slider 22. When the cooling fan is placed on the slider 22, the positioning pin 23 positions the cooling fan.

[0030] A conveyor belt 11 is mounted on the frame 1, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 is parallel to the conveying direction of the guide rail 21. One end of the conveyor belt 11 extends towards the guide rail 21, and the other end extends away from the frame 1. The pre-processed cooling fan is placed on the conveyor belt 11. As the conveyor belt 11 rotates on the frame 1, the cooling fan is conveyed towards the side closer to the guide rail 21. In addition, a baffle 111 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 11 closest to the guide rail 21. The baffle 111 spans across the conveyor belt 11. In use, the baffle 111 blocks the cooling fan, preventing it from falling off the conveyor belt 11 if it is not moved to the slider 22 in time.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 Because the cooling fans are transported in a relatively random position on the conveyor belt 11, and some parts need to be pressed onto the cooling fans, the cooling fans need to be adjusted to a uniform position. The first feeding mechanism 3 can realize the movement of the cooling fans in the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis and R-axis directions of the frame 1. The first feeding mechanism 3 includes a first adjustment component 31, which includes an X-axis linear module, a Y-axis linear module and a Z-axis linear module. The X-axis linear module realizes the movement of the cooling fans in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis linear module realizes the movement of the cooling fans in the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis linear module realizes the movement of the cooling fans in the Z-axis direction. The X-axis linear module is mounted on the frame 1, the Z-axis linear module is slidably mounted on the X-axis linear module, and the Y-axis linear module is slidably mounted on the Z-axis linear module. The X-axis linear module, Y-axis linear module and Z-axis linear module are all composed of a lead screw and a motor. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw drives the X-axis linear module, Y-axis linear module and Z-axis linear module to slide on the frame 1.

[0032] The Y-axis linear module is equipped with a first servo motor 32 and a rotary electric gripper 33. The first servo motor 32 is installed on the side of the Z-axis linear module near the frame 1. The rotary electric gripper 33 is installed on the first servo motor 32. The first servo motor 32 drives the rotary electric gripper 33 to rotate. The rotary electric gripper 33 clamps the cooling fan. The first servo motor 32 and the rotary electric gripper 33 realize the rotation of the cooling fan in the R direction.

[0033] To improve the gripping efficiency of the rotary electric gripper and the cooling fan 33, a first vision camera 12 is installed on the frame 1. The first vision camera 12 is installed on the side of the frame 1 near the conveyor belt 11. The first vision camera 12 is signal connected to the first adjustment component 31. When in use, after the first vision camera 12 identifies the cooling fan, the rotary electric gripper and the 33 grip the corresponding cooling fan on the conveyor belt 11, and then rotate the cooling fan to a specified angle, and move the cooling fan on the conveyor belt 11 to the slider 22 in sequence.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The second feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibratory feeder 41 and a second adjusting assembly 42. The second adjusting assembly 42 includes an X-axis linear module and a Y-axis linear module. The Y-axis linear module is mounted on the frame 1, and the X-axis linear module is slidably mounted on the Y-axis linear module. A pressing assembly 43 is provided on the second adjusting assembly 42. The pressing assembly 43 includes a picking cylinder 431 and a pressing cylinder 432. The picking cylinder 431 is vertically mounted on the X-axis linear module, and the pressing cylinder 432 is mounted on the picking cylinder 431. A vacuum nozzle 433 is mounted on the pressing cylinder 432. The vacuum nozzle 433 is connected to an external vacuum generator and is used to extract parts.

[0035] A second vision camera 13 and a third vision camera 14 are mounted on the frame 1. The second vision camera 13 is mounted directly above the vibratory feeder 41 on the frame 1, while the third vision camera 14 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 and slides between the two sets of conveying mechanisms 2. Both the second vision camera 13 and the third vision camera 14 are signal-connected to the second adjustment component 42. The second vision camera 13 positions the parts on the vibratory feeder 41, and the third vision camera 14 positions the cooling fan on the slider 22. This improves the accuracy of the vacuum nozzle 433 in gripping and pressing the parts.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 The unloading assembly includes a third adjustment assembly 51, which comprises an X-axis linear module, a Y-axis linear module, and a Z-axis linear module. The X-axis linear module is mounted on the frame 1, the Y-axis linear module is slidably mounted on the X-axis linear module, and the Z-axis linear module is slidably mounted on the Y-axis linear module. A second servo motor 52 is mounted on one end of the Z-axis linear module near the frame 1. An unloading clamp 53 is mounted on the second servo motor 52. The second servo motor 52 controls the opening and closing of the unloading clamp 53. After the cooling fan completes the pressing of the part, the second servo motor 52 moves through the third adjustment assembly 51. When the second servo motor 52 moves above the slider 22, the second servo motor 52 drives the unloading clamp 53 to pick up the cooling fan, and then the cooling fan is removed through the third adjustment assembly 51.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
