Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange technology, and in particular to a fin / plate stacking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of heat exchange, fins and plates, as core components of heat sinks, typically need to be stacked to form the heat sink body. In existing technologies, after the fins and plates are processed by a punch press, stacking is mainly done manually. Specifically, operators must manually pick up each fin or plate and stack them sequentially at the workstation. The entire process is based entirely on human experience and physical labor, lacking automated equipment support. This manual stacking method is common in small- to medium-scale production, but its process is cumbersome, inefficient, and difficult to adapt to the demands of high-precision or high-volume production. While some semi-automated equipment may use simple robotic arms, the overall operation is still dominated by manual labor and cannot achieve fully automated integrated operation of identification, picking, and stacking.

[0003] However, the existing manual stacking methods have the following technical problems:

[0004] Manual stacking operations are slow and time-consuming, failing to meet the demands of high-efficiency production, especially in the manufacturing of large radiators. The stacking process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low overall production efficiency. Furthermore, different radiator models require different fin / plate combinations of width or structure, but manual stacking makes it difficult to quickly switch tooling or adjust stacking patterns, resulting in poor versatility and hindering the compatible production of multiple product types. Moreover, manual operation is susceptible to fatigue and lack of experience, leading to deviations in stacking positions and unstable radiator structures, affecting product quality and performance consistency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a fin / plate stacking mechanism, including: a conveying mechanism, a camera detection device, a spider robot, and a stacking worktable; the camera detection device is disposed above the conveying mechanism, and the camera detection device is connected to the spider robot via a signal; an adsorption component is connected to the end of the robotic arm of the spider robot, the adsorption component is used to adsorb the plates or fins and transport them to the stacking worktable by the spider robot; the stacking worktable is disposed below the spider robot, and a pushing component is installed on the stacking worktable.

Figure 3 This is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the adsorption component in this utility model. Figure 4 This is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the stacking stage in this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a fin / plate stacking mechanism. This fin / plate stacking mechanism is an automated device mainly used in the heat exchange field to achieve automatic identification, gripping, stacking, and output of fins and plates. The entire mechanism is installed within a robot body frame constructed of a welded frame, ensuring structural stability. Figure 1 As shown, the mechanism includes a conveying mechanism, a camera inspection device 2, a spider robot arm 3, and a stacking table 4. The conveying mechanism is responsible for transporting fins / plates; the camera inspection device 2 is located above the conveying mechanism for visual recognition; the spider robot arm 3 spans between the conveying mechanism and the stacking table 4, responsible for gripping and handling; the stacking table 4 is located below the spider robot arm 3 for stacking and outputting products. The overall layout is compact and can adapt to rapid switching between various product types.

[0023] The conveying mechanism in this invention is the feeding part of the system, specifically, it adopts a conveyor belt. Its function is to continuously transport the fins or plates processed from the punch press to the detection area of ​​the camera detection device 2. The conveyor belt surface is flat, ensuring that the fins / plates maintain a stable posture during transport. The discharge end of the conveying mechanism is located within the gripping range of the spider robot 3, facilitating timely gripping by the robot. This component is driven by a motor, and its speed is adjustable to adapt to different production cycle requirements. Its structure is simple and reliable, reducing manual feeding and improving overall efficiency.

[0024] The camera detection device 2 in this invention is positioned above the conveying mechanism and fixed by a bracket. In this embodiment, the camera detection device 2 includes two industrial cameras, respectively arranged at the upper end of the conveying mechanism. Its core function is to automatically identify the type, size, and orientation of the fins or plates, for example, by determining the position and orientation of the fins / plates through image processing technology. The camera detection device 2 is connected to the spider robot 3 via a signal connection, sending the detection data (such as coordinate information) to the robot's control system in real time to guide the grasping action. This design replaces manual visual judgment, improving recognition accuracy and speed, and avoiding human error. The installation height of the camera detection device 2 is adjustable to adapt to the detection needs of different fins / plates.

[0025] The spider-like robotic arm 3 in this invention is responsible for grasping and transporting fins / plates. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the spider robotic arm 3 includes a robotic arm 301 and an adsorption component 302. The robotic arm 301 is driven by a servo motor and can move flexibly in three-dimensional space; its end is connected to the adsorption component 302. The spider robotic arm 3 is positioned between the conveying mechanism and the stacking worktable 44, ensuring that the gripping range covers the entire working area. The adsorption component 302 in this invention is a key component of the spider robotic arm 3, and its detailed structure is shown below. Figure 3As shown. The adsorption assembly 302 includes a frame 3021, a vacuum generator 3022, and a suction cup 3023. The frame 3021 is a hollow metal frame fixed to the end of the robotic arm 301; the vacuum generator 3022 is installed inside the frame 3021 to generate negative pressure; the suction cup 3023 is a rubber component connected to the lower end of the vacuum generator 3022 and communicates with the vacuum generator 3022 via an air pipe. Specifically, the layout of the suction cup 3023 can be quickly adjusted for different fin / plate sizes. During operation, the vacuum generator 3022 is activated, causing the suction cup 3023 to generate negative pressure, adsorbing the surface of the fins / plates, thereby stably gripping the fins or plates. This structure avoids fin / plate slippage or damage, enhancing the versatility and stability of the gripping process.

[0026] In this invention, the stacking worktable 4 is positioned below the spider robot 3 and is used to receive and stack fins / plates, as shown in the following structure. Figure 4 As shown. The stacking worktable 4 is equipped with a pushing assembly, a stacking frame 10, opening and closing cylinders 8, and limiting rods 9. Two pushing assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the worktable. Each pushing assembly includes a cylinder support 6, a pushing cylinder 5, and a pushing plate 7. The cylinder support 6 is an L-shaped metal frame, bolted to the stacking worktable 4. The pushing cylinder 5 is installed on one side of the cylinder support 6, and its piston rod end is threaded to the pushing plate 7. The pushing plate 7 is a rectangular plate structure used to push out the product after stacking. The stacking frame 10 is located on one side of the pushing plate 7. Opening and closing cylinders 8 are installed on the left and right sides of the stacking frame 10, respectively. The piston rods of the opening and closing cylinders 8 are connected to the side wall of the stacking frame 10 via connecting rods to control their opening and closing states. The limiting rods 9 consist of multiple metal rods fixed to the stacking frame 10, used to limit the position of the fins or plates during stacking to prevent displacement.

[0027] Working Principle Description: During the detection phase, fins or plates are conveyed to the detection area via a conveying mechanism. Two cameras in the camera detection device 2 simultaneously capture images of the fins / plates, identifying their type, orientation, and position information, and sending the data to the control system of the spider robot 3 via signal lines. The camera detection device 2 replaces manual vision, improving recognition accuracy and efficiency. In the gripping and handling phase, the spider robot 3, based on the camera signals, controls the robotic arm 301 to move above the fins / plates. The vacuum generator 3022 of the adsorption assembly 302 is activated, creating negative pressure in the suction cups 3023 to adsorb the surface of the fins / plates. The robotic arm 301 then transports the fins / plates into the stacking rack 10 of the stacking worktable 4. During this process, the layout of the frame 3021 and suction cups 3023 of the adsorption assembly 302 ensures gripping stability and adapts to different fin / plate shapes. In the stacking phase, the fins / plates are placed in the stacking rack 10, and the limiting rod 9 restricts their position, ensuring stack alignment. Initially, the opening and closing cylinders 8 on both sides of the stacking frame 10 are closed, keeping the frame 3021 closed to facilitate the accumulation of fins / plates. The spider robot 3 repeatedly grasps and places fins until the stacked quantity reaches a preset value (e.g., 10-20 pieces). After stacking, the opening and closing cylinders 8 open. Simultaneously, the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 5 extends, driving the pusher plate 7 to push the entire stack of products to the downstream conveyor belt for the next process. The entire process is coordinated by a programmable control system, and operators can adjust parameters (such as stacking quantity, cycle time, etc.) through the interface. The mechanism operates continuously, achieving high efficiency and saving manual operation time.
