Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding mechanism, and more particularly to an automatic feeding mechanism for harmonica tube processing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common heat dissipation methods can be categorized into air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material cooling, and heat pipe cooling. Compared to other cooling methods, liquid cooling systems are small in size, compact in structure, and highly practical. Harmonica tubes in liquid cooling plates, due to their light weight and high strength, have been widely used in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles and other related industries. They can significantly reduce the weight of new energy vehicles and power battery packs, and greatly improve heat dissipation efficiency. Therefore, harmonica tubes are irreplaceable in the manufacturing of power battery packs.

[0003] Before leaving the factory, harmonica tubes need to be assembled with sealing plates and current collectors. However, during the assembly of existing harmonica tubes, the sealing plates are usually sent to the processing position by a trolley and then picked up and placed into the assembly position by a robotic arm. However, the racks for placing the sealing plates are all vertically fixed on the trolley and cannot be adjusted, which makes it inconvenient to pick up and put down the sealing plates in a narrow space. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for harmonica tube processing. Through the setting of gears and racks, the placement rack can be rotatably connected to the trolley, and the angle of the placement rack can be adjusted, making it convenient for the robot arm to grab the sealing plate on the placement rack in narrow spaces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for harmonica tube processing, comprising: A robotic arm, wherein a clamping cylinder is provided on the robotic arm, and a clamping plate is provided on the clamping cylinder; A trolley is provided with at least one placement rack, the placement rack is provided with several placement slots, and the two ends of the bottom of the placement rack are respectively provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the trolley, and a gear is provided on the rotating shaft. The gear meshes with a rack, and the rack is movably connected to the trolley.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The trolley is provided with at least one mounting base, the rack is slidably connected to the mounting base, and driving components are respectively provided at both ends of the rack.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The drive component includes a screw seat and an adjusting screw. The screw seat is fixedly connected to the trolley, and the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the screw seat. The adjusting screw abuts against the rack.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The placement slot is provided with an avoidance notch.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The trolley is equipped with a through hole.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: There are three display racks, which are arranged in parallel.

[0011] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a rotating shaft on the placement frame, the placement frame is rotatably connected to the trolley through the rotating shaft. The gear on the rotating shaft meshes with the rack. When the rack does not move, the placement frame can be stably connected to the trolley. Pushing the rack can drive the gear to rotate, thereby making the placement frame rotate, which increases the space between the robot and the placement frame, making it easier for the robot to automatically clamp materials.
