Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a CPU cover remover, belonging to the field of installation equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] The metal plate on the CPU is called the CPU inner cover, also known as the integrated heatsink, and is the metal part of the CPU casing. In current computer manufacturing processes, the CPU inner cover is installed separately after the CPU body is mounted on the circuit board.
[0003] During current computer motherboard manufacturing, the CPU inner cover needs to be manually removed and installed onto the CPU. However, during CPU performance testing, the CPU inner cover also needs to be manually removed. Both the installation and testing processes involve manually removing the inner cover, which has several drawbacks: 1. During manual operation, due to the presence of other components on the CPU motherboard and the small space in the main body, the operator's hand may easily touch adjacent components during the handling process, which may cause damage to the components. 2. Manually handling the CPU inner cover will contaminate it, which may affect its performance. 3. When manually installing or removing the CPU inner cover, the limited space can lead to uneven force during installation or removal, resulting in improper installation or damage to components. In addition, manual operation results in a large workload for personnel and low production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, a CPU cover remover is needed to solve the problems of easy component damage, high workload and low production efficiency when manually removing the CPU inner cover for installation or removal during the production of existing computer motherboards. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a CPU cap remover to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a CPU cover remover, comprising a mounting plate and a cover removal assembly, wherein the mounting plate is provided with a receiving groove whose shape is adapted to the CPU inner cover; the cover removal assembly includes a handle and a limiting member; the handle is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, the limiting member is mounted on the mounting plate, and the limiting member is movably mounted on the mounting plate toward the receiving groove; the CPU inner cover is mounted in the receiving groove, and the limiting member moves toward the receiving groove to restrict the CPU inner cover from moving away from the receiving groove.
[0007] Specifically, the mounting plate is equipped with several positioning pins, and the CPU inner cover carrier is provided with several positioning holes. When the mounting plate is installed on the CPU inner cover carrier, the positioning pins are installed in the positioning holes one by one.
[0008] Specifically, the mounting plate has mounting holes on the plate body for mounting the positioning pins. The positioning pins pass through the mounting holes, and one end of the pin located at the bottom of the mounting plate has a pin head structure to form the positioning end.
[0009] Specifically, the positioning pin includes a positioning pin plate and a sliding sleeve; the sliding sleeve is fixedly installed in the mounting hole, the positioning pin body is slidably installed inside the sliding sleeve, and one end of the pin penetrates the sliding sleeve and extends to the outside of the sliding sleeve to form a positioning end; an elastic element connects the sliding sleeve and the positioning pin body.
[0010] Specifically, the CPU inner cover has several protrusions for snapping onto the CPU; the number of limiting members matches the number of protrusions; when the CPU inner cover is installed in the storage slot, the limiting members move toward the storage slot and stop against the protrusions to restrict the CPU inner cover from moving away from the storage slot.
[0011] Specifically, the limiting components include a mounting base, a torsion spring, and a gripper; the mounting base is mounted on a mounting plate corresponding to the protrusion, and a pin is mounted on the base; the gripper is rotatably mounted on the pin via the torsion spring, and one end of the gripper moves around the pin axis to the protrusion to form a stop end against the protrusion, thereby stopping the CPU inner cover against the mounting groove.
[0012] Specifically, the claw extends outward along the axis at the end furthest from the stop end to form the drive end; a drive block is slidably mounted on the handle, and a handle is provided on the drive block at a position corresponding to the drive end of the claw. The handle abuts against the drive end to drive the claw to rotate around the pin shaft, thereby causing the stop end to move toward the protruding position.
[0013] Specifically, the handle has a U-shaped structure, and its U-shaped opening side cover is fastened to the mounting plate; the drive block includes a movable handle and a lifting block; the movable handle is slidably installed on the inside of the handle's U-shaped structure, and the lifting block is fixedly installed on the block facing the mounting plate side of the drive block; the lifting blocks extend one by one towards the driving end of the claws to form an extension end with the same number as the number of claws, thus forming a lifting handle.
[0014] Specifically, the block on the side of the drive block away from the handle block is connected to the handle by several elastic elements.
[0015] Specifically, a rolling element is rotatably mounted on the handle. This ensures that when the handle abuts against the protrusion, the rolling element contacts the protrusion, creating a rolling connection between the handle and the protrusion during relative movement, thus reducing wear on the components.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This application provides a CPU cover removal device, comprising a mounting plate and a removal assembly. The mounting plate has a receiving slot for installing the CPU inner cover. The removal assembly includes a limiting member and a handle. The handle is fixedly mounted to the mounting plate, while the limiting member is movably mounted to the mounting plate on the side of the receiving slot. This allows the CPU inner cover to be confined within the receiving slot by moving the limiting member towards it. The handle then secures the CPU inner cover to the mounting plate for transport. This allows for the removal of the CPU inner cover by using the CPU inner cover instead of manual handling. During installation, the handle is moved to the CPU, releasing the limiting member to install the inner cover. Conversely, during removal, the limiting member secures the CPU inner cover to the mounting slot, and the handle allows the entire inner cover to be removed from the CPU. This CPU cover removal device replaces manual handling of the inner cover, eliminating direct hand contact with the cover, reducing workload and increasing production efficiency. Furthermore, it is not limited by space constraints and prevents damage to components.
[0017] 2. Building upon the foregoing, the mounting plate of this application is equipped with positioning pins, and the CPU inner cover carrier is provided with positioning holes. This allows the positioning pins on the mounting plate to be mounted in the positioning holes on the carrier, enabling the mounting plate and carrier to be quickly positioned during the installation or removal of the CPU inner cover, facilitating the precise handling or placement of the inner cover. Simultaneously, positioning the mounting plate against the carrier prevents spatial conflicts between the mounting plate and adjacent components, thus avoiding damage to these components.
[0018] 3. Based on the foregoing, the positioning pin of this application includes a positioning pin plate and a sliding sleeve. The mounting plate has a mounting hole. The sliding sleeve is installed in the mounting hole, and the positioning pin body is slidably installed in the sliding sleeve via an elastic element. One end of the positioning pin penetrates the sliding sleeve and extends to the outside of the sliding sleeve to form a positioning end. When the mounting plate is positioned relative to the CPU inner cover carrier, the positioning pin body is first pre-positioned with the positioning hole, ensuring high guiding accuracy of the positioning of the mounting plate and carrier. When the mounting plate and carrier are separated, the positioning pin body, under the elastic action of the elastic element, will always remain abutted within the positioning hole, preventing the mounting plate from shifting relative to the carrier during lifting and causing damage to adjacent components.
[0019] 4. Building upon the foregoing, the CPU inner cover of this application is provided with protrusions for snap-fit installation onto the CPU. The limiting components of this application include a mounting base, a torsion spring, and a gripper. The mounting base is installed on the protrusion and has a pin. The gripper is rotatably mounted on the pin via the torsion spring, and one end of the gripper moves around the pin towards the protrusion and abuts against it. By providing limiting components that correspond one-to-one with the protrusions of the inner cover, this application achieves secure fixing of the inner cover by the gripper abutting against the protrusion, without damaging the inner cover, and provides a good fixing effect.
[0020] 5. Based on the foregoing, the handle of this application is slidably mounted with a drive block, which includes a movable handle and a lifting block. The movable handle is slidably mounted on the handle through an elastic element, and the end away from the handle is connected to the lifting block. The lifting block has a number of handles that match the number of grippers. The handles abut against the drive end of the grippers, so that by moving the handle, all the grippers can be driven simultaneously to abut or release the protrusion, so that when gripping or placing the inner cover, the inner cover is subjected to uniform force, ensuring the gripping or placing effect.

[0023] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model. For clarity, the CPU cover remover in this embodiment is mainly used in the installation process. The CPU inner cover carrier includes a pick-up seat (not shown) on the inner cover transport line of the inner cover pick-up station and a computer motherboard A for installation.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment discloses a CPU cover remover, including a mounting plate 1 and a cover removal assembly. The mounting plate has a container groove whose shape is adapted to the inner cover B of the CPU. The cover removal assembly includes a handle 2 and a limiting member. The handle 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and the limiting member is mounted on the mounting plate and is movably mounted on the mounting plate towards the container groove. The inner cover of the CPU is mounted in the container groove, and the limiting member moves towards the container groove to restrict the inner cover of the CPU from moving away from the container groove.
[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting plate is equipped with four positioning pins 3, the CPU inner cover carrier has four positioning holes, the material pick-up base has four positioning holes, and the computer motherboard A, located on the outside of the CPU mounting position, has four positioning holes 4. When the mounting plate is installed on the CPU inner cover carrier, the positioning pins are installed in the corresponding positioning holes.
[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mounting plate on which the positioning pin is mounted has a mounting hole. The positioning pin includes a positioning pin plate 5 and a sliding sleeve 6; the sliding sleeve is fixedly mounted in the mounting hole, and the positioning pin body is slidably mounted inside the sliding sleeve, with one end penetrating through the sliding sleeve and extending to the outside of the sliding sleeve to form a positioning end; and in this embodiment, the positioning end of the positioning pin is a needle-like structure. A return spring (not shown) is connected between the sliding sleeve and the positioning pin body.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the CPU inner cover is provided with two protrusions 7 for snap-fit installation onto the CPU; the number of limiting members is consistent with the number of protrusions; the limiting members in this embodiment include a mounting base 8, a torsion spring, and a claw 10; the mounting base is installed on a mounting plate corresponding to the protrusion, and a pin is installed on the base body; the claw is rotatably installed on the pin through the torsion spring, and one end of the claw moves around the pin axis to the protrusion position to form a stop end that abuts against the protrusion, stopping the CPU inner cover against the mounting groove. In this embodiment, the claw body at the end away from the stop end extends outward along the axis to form a driving end; a driving block is slidably installed on the handle, and a handle 13 is provided on the driving block at a position corresponding to the driving end of the claw, the handle abuts against the driving end to drive the claw to rotate around the pin axis.
[0028] In this embodiment, the handle 2 has a U-shaped structure, with its U-shaped opening side cover fastened to the mounting plate. The drive block includes a movable handle 11 and a lifting block 12. The movable handle is slidably mounted on the inner side of the U-shaped structure of the handle, and the lifting block is fixedly mounted on the block facing the mounting plate. The two ends of the lifting block extend towards the driving ends of the claws on both sides to form two extension ends, thus constituting a lifting handle. A rotating bearing 15 is rotatably mounted on the lifting block. In addition, in this embodiment, three return springs 14 are connected between the block away from the lifting block and the handle.
[0029] Working Principle: In this embodiment, the CPU cap remover is used by the operator who first moves it to the inner cap removal station by holding the handle. Then, the operator aligns the four positioning pins on the mounting plate with the four positioning holes on the removal seat. The operator then places the CPU cap remover on the removal seat. During placement, the positioning pins slide along the sliding sleeve, compressing the return spring inside. Once the CPU cap remover is in place, the CPU inner cap is positioned in the receiving slot of the mounting plate, and the grippers on both sides of the mounting plate correspond one-to-one with the two protrusions on the CPU inner cap. Next, the operator manually grips the moving handle to raise the bottom lifting block. The handle on the lifting block simultaneously drives the grippers to rotate around the pin, causing the gripper's abutment end to move towards the protrusion until it abuts against the protrusion, clamping the CPU inner cap into the receiving slot, completing the removal process.
[0030] Next, the operator simultaneously grips the handle and moves the lifting handle to move the CPU cover remover to the inner cover installation position. The same positioning steps as described above are repeated to place the CPU cover remover on the computer motherboard. At this point, the inner cover is positioned directly above the CPU. The operator then releases the lifting handle, which slides back to its original position under the force of the return spring. This causes the handle on the lifting block to separate from the drive block of the gripper. The gripper, under the force of the torsion spring, rotates around the pin to reset, causing the stop end of the handle to move away from the protrusion. The CPU inner cover automatically falls onto the CPU under gravity, and the operator then grips the handle to remove the CPU cover remover. During removal, the positioning pins on the mounting plate remain against the computer motherboard under the action of the return spring, ensuring that the mounting plate and the carrier do not shift or deflect, thus preventing damage to adjacent components.
[0031] The CPU cover remover described in this application is used in the reverse manner during CPU inner cover disassembly and inspection, but the principle is the same, and will not be repeated here. This application uses a positioning pin that aligns with a positioning hole to quickly locate the CPU inner cover. The operator only needs to hold the moving handle to clamp the CPU inner cover, greatly simplifying the operation process.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, after learning the contents of the present invention, several equivalent changes and substitutions can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These equivalent changes and substitutions should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
