Technical Field

[0002] A double-layer heat exchanger assembly comprises two stacked heat exchangers and can be used in air conditioning equipment to regulate the temperature and humidity of an indoor space. The heat exchangers circulate refrigerant, which exchanges heat with the air to alter the ambient temperature and humidity. In related technologies, during the production of double-layer heat exchanger assemblies, a spacer needs to be placed between the two heat exchangers. This is typically done manually. However, because the spacer is in near-free fall during manual placement, there is a probability of misalignment. In such cases, workers may tap the spacer back between the heat exchangers from the outside, which can scratch the heat exchanger fins and result in poor quality. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, embodiments of the technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application more clearly, and are therefore merely examples and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that combinations can be made in any suitable manner without contradiction; for example, different combinations of specific technical features / embodiments can form different implementations. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of specific technical features / embodiments in this application will not be described separately.

[0024] It should be noted that in this application, "multiple" includes two or more.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides an isolator placement device, which includes a conveying device 1, a feeding device 2, a separating device 3, and a placement device 4. The conveying device 1 is used to convey a double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, which includes two stacked heat exchangers 101. The feeding device 2 is used to provide isolators 200. The separating device 3 is used to separate the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100. The placement device 4 picks up the isolator 200 from the feeding device 2 and inserts it between the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0026] The two stacked heat exchangers 101 refer to two heat exchangers 101 that are approximately parallel and stacked together.

[0027] The double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 can be placed vertically on the conveying device 1, that is, the stacking direction of the two heat exchangers 101 is parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0028] Heat exchanger 101 is a device for circulating refrigerant. Exemplarily, heat exchanger 101 may include side plates, coils, and fins. The coils are used for circulating refrigerant and are generally continuous, curved sections. Fins can connect to sections of the coils to increase the heat exchange area. Side plates can connect to the coils to fix them in place. This type of heat exchanger 101 may also be referred to as a finned tube heat exchanger 101.

[0029] The application scenarios of the double-layer heat exchange component 100 are not limited. For example, the double-layer heat exchange component 100 can be used in various household appliances that require heat exchange, such as air conditioning equipment and dryers.

[0030] In the production process of the double-layer heat exchange component 100, before placing the isolation element 200 between the two heat exchangers 101, that is, in the pre-process of the isolation element 200 placement process, it is necessary to weld the coil of the heat exchanger 101, for example, by flame welding. In related technologies, after the operator takes the isolation element, the two heat exchangers of the double-layer heat exchange component are manually separated, and the isolation element is manually placed between the two heat exchangers. Since the pre-process uses flame welding, the temperature is high after welding, and there is a risk of burns for the operator.

[0031] In this application, the separation device 3 can be located at the working station of the conveying device 1. The double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 is conveyed to the working station by the conveying device 1. After the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 is inserted with the isolation member 200 at the working station, the conveying device 1 can send the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 with the isolation member 200 to the next process.

[0032] For example, the conveying device 1 conveys the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 to the working station, the separating device 3 separates the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 located at the working station, thereby increasing the distance between the two heat exchangers 101, and the placing device 4 grabs the separator 200 from the feeding device 2 and inserts it between the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 located at the working station.

[0033] The separator 200 is used to separate the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, reducing the friction and collision between the fins and other structures of the two heat exchangers 101.

[0034] The shape of the isolation member 200 is not limited. For example, the isolation member 200 can be generally flat and sheet-like, with a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction of the two heat exchangers 101 as the projection surface. The projected area of ​​the isolation member 200 can be greater than or equal to the projected area of ​​the heat exchanger 101.

[0035] The material of the separator 200 is not limited; for example, the material of the separator 200 includes, but is not limited to, paper. In this way, the two heat exchangers 101 are separated by a piece of paper, which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

[0036] The isolator placement device provided in this application embodiment can convey the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 by the conveying device 1 and the isolator 200 by the feeding device 2. This can reduce manual handling of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 and the isolator 200. The two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 are separated by the separation device 3 without the need for manual separation of the two heat exchangers 101. The isolator 200 is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101 by the placement device 4 without the need for manual insertion of the isolator 200. This design can improve the degree of automation, reduce manual operation, reduce assembly defects caused by insufficient human skills, reduce the risk of incorrect insertion of the isolator 200, improve quality, and also improve product output efficiency and increase output per unit time.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The separation device 3 includes a first limiting mechanism 31 and a first gripping mechanism 32. The first limiting mechanism 31 includes a first driving member 311 and a first limiting member 312. The first driving member 311 is connected to the first limiting member 312. The first limiting member 312 includes a first limiting position that partially inserts into the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 and a first avoidance position that avoids the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100. The first driving member 311 drives the first limiting member 312 to switch between the first limiting position and the first avoidance position. The first gripping mechanism 32 is used to grip one of the heat exchangers 101 and move it away from the other heat exchanger 101 to separate the two heat exchangers 101.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first gripping mechanism 32 can grip and release one of the heat exchangers 101. When it is necessary to separate the two heat exchangers 101, the first driving member 311 drives the first limiting member 312 to the first limiting position. Part of the first limiting member 312 is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101. The first gripping mechanism 32 grips one of the heat exchangers 101 and moves it away from the other heat exchanger 101. At this time, the first limiting member 312 restricts the other heat exchanger 101 so that the heat exchanger 101 cannot move, thereby separating the two heat exchangers 101.

[0039] The first drive element 311 is used to provide power. The type of the first drive element 311 is not limited. For example, the first drive element 311 includes, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0040] The specific structure of the first grasping mechanism 32 is not limited; for some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 4 The first gripping mechanism 32 includes a gripping power source and multiple grippers. The gripping power source drives the multiple grippers to retract to grip the heat exchanger 101, and the gripping power source drives the multiple grippers to open to release the heat exchanger 101.

[0041] The grabbing power source is used to provide power, and the grabbing power source includes, but is not limited to, an electric motor.

[0042] The number of grippers includes, but is not limited to, two, three, four, or more.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first gripping mechanism 32 includes a movable power source that drives multiple grippers to approach or move away from the heat exchanger 101. When it is necessary to separate the heat exchangers 101, the movable power source drives the multiple grippers to move, for example, in a linear reciprocating motion along a first direction. The gripping power source then drives the multiple grippers to retract to grip the heat exchanger 101. The movable power source then drives the multiple grippers away from another heat exchanger 101, thereby separating the two heat exchangers 101. After the isolator 200 is inserted into the two heat exchangers 101, the gripping power source can drive the multiple grippers to open to release the heat exchangers 101.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first driving member 311 and the first gripping mechanism 32 are located on both sides of the conveying device 1 along the first direction, which intersects with the conveying direction of the conveying device 1.

[0045] The first direction can intersect the conveying direction perpendicularly or obliquely.

[0046] The first driving component 311 and the first gripping mechanism 32 can be located at the working position of the conveying device 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to separate the two heat exchangers 101, the first gripping mechanism 32 grips one of the heat exchangers 101 and moves it away from the other heat exchanger 101 in a first direction. At this time, a portion of the first limiting member 312 is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101 to restrict the displacement of the other heat exchanger 101 in the first direction, thereby separating the two heat exchangers 101.

[0048] The shape of the first limiting member 312 is not limited. For example, a portion of the first limiting member 312 can be inserted between the two heat exchangers 101.

[0049] In some embodiments, the isolator placement device includes a third support member located on the side of the conveying device 1 close to the first gripping mechanism 32 in a first direction. The first gripping mechanism 32 may be disposed on the third support member. For example, both the gripping power source and the moving power source may be fixed to the upper end of the third support member.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The first limiting member 312 includes a first connecting plate 3121 and a first limiting plate 3122. The first driving member 311 and the first limiting plate 3122 are connected to opposite ends of the first connecting plate 3121. The first limiting plate 3122 is used to insert or withdraw between the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0051] The first connecting plate 3121 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0052] The first limiting plate 3122 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first limiting plate 3122 can be bent toward one side of the thickness direction of the first connecting plate 3121. That is to say, the first limiting plate 3122 and the first connecting plate 3121 are roughly L-shaped.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first connecting plate 3121 and the first limiting plate 3122 have simple structures. The thickness of the first limiting plate 3122 is relatively thin, which makes it easy to insert between the two heat exchangers 101.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first driving member 311 drives the first limiting member 312 to rotate around the first axis to switch between the first limiting position and the first avoidance position. The first axis is perpendicular to the up and down direction.

[0056] For example, the first connecting plate 3121 may extend along a first direction, and the first limiting plate 3122 may be bent toward the conveying direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first limiting position and the first avoidance position are located on the rotation trajectory of the first limiting member 312. The first limiting member 312 can rotate downward around the first axis and be inserted between the two heat exchangers 101 from above, that is, switch to the first limiting position; then rotate upward around the first axis and be pulled out between the two heat exchangers 101, that is, switch to the first avoidance position.

[0058] It should be noted that the rotation angle of the first limiting member 312 can be set according to requirements. For example, the rotation angle of the first limiting member 312 can be 60°, 90°, 120° or 180°, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, the isolator placement device may include a first support base, which may be located on one side of the conveying device 1 along a first direction, and a first drive member 311 may be fixed to the upper end of the first support base.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The separation device 3 includes a push rod 33, which is disposed on the first gripping mechanism 32. The push rod 33 is movable to push the heat exchanger 101 released by the first gripping mechanism 32 toward another heat exchanger 101.

[0061] For example, push rod 33 can perform linear reciprocating motion along a first direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, the push rod 33 can perform linear reciprocating motion. When the first gripping mechanism 32 releases the heat exchanger 101, the push rod 33 pushes the heat exchanger 101 released by the first gripping mechanism 32 toward another heat exchanger 101, thereby reducing the distance between the two heat exchangers 101 and enabling the two heat exchangers 101 to clamp the separator 200.

[0063] In some embodiments, the separating device 3 includes a driving power source for driving the push rod 33 to move, for example, driving the push rod 33 to perform linear reciprocating motion along a first direction.

[0064] The driving power source is used to provide power, and the driving power source includes, but is not limited to, motors, cylinders, or electric cylinders.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The separation device 3 includes a second limiting mechanism 34, which includes a second driving member 341 and a second limiting member 342. The second driving member 341 is connected to the second limiting member 342. The second limiting member 342 includes a second limiting position and a second avoidance position. The second driving member 341 drives the second limiting member 342 to switch between the second limiting position and the second avoidance position. When the second limiting member 342 is in the second limiting position, the isolation member 200 grasped by the placement device 4 abuts against the second limiting member 342 and is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100. When the second limiting member 342 is in the second avoidance position, the second limiting member 342 avoids the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0066] As an example, the second limiting mechanism 34 may be located approximately on one side of the conveying device 1 in the first direction.

[0067] For example, when the second limiting member 342 is in the second limiting position, the second limiting member 342 may be located on one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 along the conveying direction, and the side of the isolation member 200 along the conveying direction may abut against the second limiting member 342.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the second limiting member 342 is in the second limiting position, the isolation member 200 grasped by the placement device 4 abuts against the second limiting member 342 and is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101. The second limiting member 342 is used to guide and limit the isolation member 200, thereby reducing the risk of the isolation member 200 deviating from the heat exchanger 101. When the second limiting member 342 is in the second avoidance position, the second limiting member 342 avoids the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, thereby preventing the second limiting member 342 from interfering with the conveying device 1 in conveying the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0069] The second drive element 341 is used to provide power. The type of the second drive element 341 is not limited. For example, the second drive element 341 includes, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second limiting member 342 includes a second connecting plate 3421 and a second limiting plate 3422. The second driving member 341 and the second limiting plate 3422 are connected to opposite ends of the second connecting plate 3421. The second limiting plate 3422 is used to abut against the isolation member 200.

[0071] Specifically, the second limiting plate 3422 is used to abut against one side of the isolation member 200 in the conveying direction. In this way, during the process of the isolation member 200 being inserted from top to bottom between the two heat exchangers 101, one side of the isolation member 200 in the conveying direction abuts against the second limiting plate 3422.

[0072] The second connecting plate 3421 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0073] The second limiting plate 3422 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second limiting plate 3422 can be bent toward one side of the thickness direction of the second connecting plate 3421. That is to say, the second limiting plate 3422 and the second connecting plate 3421 are roughly L-shaped.

[0075] In this embodiment, the second connecting plate 3421 and the second limiting plate 3422 have simple structures. One end face of the second limiting plate 3422 along its thickness direction can be used to abut against the isolation member 200.

[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second driving member 341 drives the second limiting member 342 to rotate around the second axis to switch between the second limiting position and the second avoidance position. The second axis is parallel to the up and down direction.

[0077] For example, the second limiting position is located on one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 along the conveying direction, and the second clearance position is located on one side of the conveying device 1 in the first direction. In this way, the second limiting plate 3422 can extend upward or downward, and when the second limiting member 342 is in the second clearance position, it will not obstruct the conveying device 1 from conveying the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second limiting position and the second avoidance position are located on the rotation trajectory of the second limiting member 342. The second limiting member 342 can rotate around the second axis toward the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 until it moves to the side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 along the conveying direction, that is, it switches to the second limiting position. After the placement device 4 inserts the isolation member 200 against the second limiting member 342 into the two heat exchangers 101, the second limiting member 342 rotates around the second axis away from the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 to avoid the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, that is, it switches to the second avoidance position.

[0079] It should be noted that the rotation angle of the second limiting member 342 can be set according to requirements. For example, the rotation angle of the second limiting member 342 can be 60°, 90°, 120° or 180°, etc.

[0080] In some embodiments, the isolator placement device may include a second support base, which may be located on one side of the conveying device 1 along the first direction, and the second drive member 341 may be fixed to the second support base.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The separation device 3 includes a third limiting mechanism 35, which includes a third driving member 351 and a third limiting member 352. The third driving member 351 is connected to the third limiting member 352. The third limiting member 352 includes a third limiting position and a third avoidance position. The third driving member 351 drives the third limiting member 352 to switch between the limiting position and the avoidance position. When the third limiting member 352 is in the third limiting position, the third limiting member 352 abuts against one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 in the conveying direction of the conveying device 1. When the third limiting member 352 is in the third avoidance position, the third limiting member 352 avoids the double-layer heat exchange component 100.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the third limiting member 352 is in the third limiting position, it abuts against the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, thus limiting the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 and reducing the risk of displacement of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 during the placement of the isolation member 200. When the third limiting member 352 is in the third avoidance position, it avoids the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, thus preventing it from interfering with the conveying device 1's transport of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0083] The third drive unit 351 is used to provide power. The type of the third drive unit 351 is not limited. For example, the third drive unit 351 includes, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The third limiting member 352 includes a third connecting plate 3521 and a third limiting plate 3522. The third driving member 351 and the third limiting plate 3522 are connected to opposite ends of the third connecting plate 3521. The third limiting plate 3522 is used to abut against the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0085] Specifically, the third limiting plate 3522 is used to abut against one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 in the conveying direction of the conveying device 1.

[0086] The third connecting plate 3521 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0087] The third limiting plate 3522 can be in the form of a plate structure.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The third limiting plate 3522 can be bent toward one side of the thickness direction of the third connecting plate 3521. That is to say, the third limiting plate 3522 and the third connecting plate 3521 are roughly L-shaped.

[0089] In this embodiment, the third connecting plate 3521 and the third limiting plate 3522 have simple structures. One end face of the third limiting plate 3522 along its thickness direction can be used to abut against the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The third driving member 351 drives the third limiting member 352 to rotate around the third axis to switch between the third limiting position and the third avoidance position. The third axis is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0091] For example, the third limiting position is located on one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 along the conveying direction, and the third clearance position is located on one side of the conveying device 1 in the first direction. In this way, the third limiting plate 3522 can extend upward or downward, and when the third limiting member 352 is in the third clearance position, it will not obstruct the conveying device 1 from conveying the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0092] In this embodiment, the third limiting position and the third avoidance position are located on the rotation trajectory of the third limiting member 352. The third limiting member 352 can rotate around the third axis toward the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, thereby abutting against one side of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 along the conveying direction, that is, switching to the third limiting position. After the placement device 4 inserts the isolation member 200 against the second limiting member 342 into the two heat exchangers 101, the third limiting member 352 then rotates around the third axis away from the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 to avoid the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, that is, switching to the third avoidance position.

[0093] In some embodiments, the third drive member 351 may be fixed to the second support base, and the third limiting mechanism 35 may be located below the second limiting mechanism 34.

[0094] It should be noted that the rotation angle of the third limiting member 352 can be set according to requirements. For example, the rotation angle of the third limiting member 352 can be 60°, 90°, 120° or 180°, etc.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The feeding device 2 includes a lifting mechanism 21 and a conveying mechanism 22. The lifting mechanism 21 includes a support 211 and a lifting frame 212. The lifting frame 212 is slidably connected to the support 211 and can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. The conveying mechanism 22 is used to transport the material pile to the support 211. The material pile includes multiple isolation pieces 200 stacked in the vertical direction. The lifting frame 212 can lift the material pile located on the support 211 to the feeding station for the placement device 4 to grab.

[0096] For example, the lifting mechanism 21 may be located on one side of the length direction of the conveying mechanism 22. That is, the lifting mechanism 21 may be located on one side of the conveying direction of the transmission mechanism.

[0097] In this embodiment, multiple material piles can be placed on the conveying mechanism 22, and the material piles are conveyed to the support 211 one by one. The lifting frame 212 moves upward to lift the material piles located on the support 211 to the loading station. The placement device 4 grabs the isolation piece 200 of the loading station. In this way, the placement device 4 can grab the isolation piece 200 from the specific loading station, which can reduce the movement stroke of the first gripping mechanism 32 of the placement device 4 and improve efficiency and gripping accuracy.

[0098] The specific structure of the conveying mechanism 22 is not limited. For example, the conveying mechanism 22 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of belt conveyor, roller conveyor and chain conveyor.

[0099] The specific structure of the support 211 is not limited. Exemplarily, the support 211 includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame extends vertically, and the second frame is connected to the first frame. The lifting frame 212 is slidably connected to the first frame in the vertical direction. The second frame includes two spaced-apart roller groups, each roller group including multiple rollers spaced horizontally. The rollers are capable of rolling. In its initial state, the lifting frame 212 is located between the two roller groups. The conveying mechanism 22 is used to place the material pile onto the multiple rollers. The lifting frame 212 moves upward to contact and lift the material pile located on the multiple rollers until the material pile leaves the multiple rollers and rises to the loading station. During the process of the conveying mechanism 22 conveying the material pile to the multiple rollers, the material pile rolls in contact with the rollers, resulting in low friction.

[0100] The lifting mechanism 21 may include a lifting power source, which can drive the lifting frame 212 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The lifting power source is used to provide power.

[0101] The type of lifting power source is not limited. For example, the lifting power source includes, but is not limited to, motors, cylinders, or electric cylinders.

[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The feeding device 2 includes a baffle 23, which is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism 22 in the width direction. That is, the baffle 23 is located on the side of the direction intersecting with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 22.

[0103] In this embodiment, the baffle 23 can block the material pile. During the process of placing the material pile on the conveying mechanism 22, the material pile can restrict the placement position of the material pile on the conveying mechanism 22 to a certain extent and constrain the trajectory of the material pile during the conveying process.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The placement device 4 includes a robotic arm 41 and a second gripping mechanism 42. The second gripping mechanism 42 is connected to the robotic arm 41. The robotic arm 41 is used to drive the second gripping mechanism 42 to move. The second gripping mechanism 42 is used to grip the isolation piece 200 from the feeding device 2 and insert it between the two heat exchangers 101 of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0105] In this embodiment, the robotic arm 41 may have multiple degrees of freedom, thereby transferring the isolation element 200 between the feeding device 2 and the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100.

[0106] The robotic arm 41 may include multiple joints, thereby enabling movement in multiple directions. The robotic arm 41 may be an existing type, which will not be described in detail here.

[0107] In some embodiments, the second gripping mechanism 42 may include a plurality of claws that retract to grip the isolator 200 and open to release the isolator 200.

[0108] The number of claws includes, but is not limited to, two, three, four, or more.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second gripping mechanism 42 may include multiple suction cups. The suction cups are used to selectively pick up and release the isolator 200. The suction cups perform the gripping action by applying negative pressure to the isolator 200. For example, the suction cups abut against the isolator 200 and generate a pressure difference, thereby picking up the isolator 200 and causing it to move synchronously. After the isolator 200 is inserted between the two heat exchangers 101, the pressure difference is reduced, causing the suction cups to separate from the isolator 200, thus releasing the isolator 200. The suction cups can grip the sheet-like isolator 200 more smoothly and can also reduce the risk of scratching the isolator 200.

[0110] In some embodiments, the placement device 4 includes an air pump and an air tube, the air pump being connected to the suction cup via the air tube to change the air pressure of the suction cup.

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The isolation component placement device includes multiple guide rods 5, and at least one guide rod 5 is respectively provided on both sides of the conveying device 1 along the first direction, the first direction intersecting the conveying direction of the conveying device 1.

[0112] In this embodiment, the guide rod 5 can be used to stop the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 located on the conveying device 1. During the process of the conveying device 1 conveying the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100, the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 is located between the two guide rods 5 in the first direction. The two guide rods 5 in the first direction can limit the movement trajectory of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 and reduce the risk of the double-layer heat exchange assembly 100 falling off the conveying device 1.

[0113] The specific structure of the conveying device 1 is not limited. For example, the conveying device 1 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of belt conveyor, roller conveyor and chain conveyor.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
