Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a heat sink assembly gripper device. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic product motherboards, especially computer motherboards, heatsinks with spring-loaded clamping structures are typically installed in designated locations on the motherboard to ensure the chips operate stably under high power consumption conditions. Currently, heatsink assembly on most production lines still relies on manual labor: operators rely on experience to align the heatsink with the mounting area on the motherboard and press it into place. Because the heatsink springs have significant elasticity, manual pressing is labor-intensive and dangerous, easily causing finger injuries or heatsink displacement, making it difficult to maintain consistent product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat sink assembly gripper device, which automatically assembles the heat sink onto the motherboard by setting a floating gripper mechanism and a push plate mechanism. At the same time, an assembly position detector is set to detect whether the heat sink is assembled in place, so as to ensure controllable product quality.

[0005] Preferably, the drive end of the assembly lifting drive component is provided with a connecting frame; the floating gripper mechanism is located at the bottom middle of the connecting frame, and a push plate mechanism is connected to the bottom of each end of the connecting frame.

[0006] Preferably, the floating gripper mechanism includes two opposing assembled gripper modules and an opening / closing drive for driving the two assembled gripper modules to move closer or further apart.

[0007] Preferably, the assembled gripper module includes a clamping plate, a connecting base plate that is driven to be connected to the opening and closing drive component, and a first sliding component disposed between the connecting base plate and the clamping plate; the first sliding component is disposed in a vertical direction.

[0008] Preferably, the pusher mechanism includes a pusher plate and a pusher plate drive for driving the pusher plate to move in a horizontal direction.

[0009] Preferably, the assembly drive mechanism includes a Y-axis drive module, an X-axis drive module connected to the Y-axis drive module, and a Z-axis drive module connected to the X-axis drive module; the assembly lifting drive component is mounted on the Z-axis drive module.

[0010] Preferably, the assembled detector is a height sensor.

[0011] By adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model provides a heat sink assembly gripper device, which automatically assembles the heat sink onto the motherboard by setting a floating gripper mechanism and a push plate mechanism. At the same time, an assembly position detector is set to detect whether the heat sink is assembled in place, ensuring controllable product quality, improving production efficiency, and saving labor costs.

[0016] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a heat sink assembly gripper device, including a floating gripper mechanism 1, a pusher mechanism 2 on each of the two opposite outer sides of the floating gripper mechanism 1, an assembly positioning detector 3 on one side above the floating gripper mechanism 1, an assembly lifting drive 4 for driving the floating gripper mechanism 1 and the pusher mechanism 2 to assemble the heat sink 7, and an assembly drive mechanism 5 for driving the floating gripper mechanism 1 to transfer the heat sink 7; specifically, the assembly lifting drive 4 is a motor. The floating gripper mechanism 1 is used to grip the heat sink 7, and the pusher mechanism 2 is used to compress the heat sink spring 8; specifically, the assembly positioning detector 3 is a height sensor used to detect whether the heat sink 7 is assembled in place.

[0017] The assembly lifting drive 4 has a connecting frame 6 at its drive end; the floating gripper mechanism 1 is located at the bottom middle of the connecting frame 6, and a push plate mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom of each end of the connecting frame 6.

[0018] The floating gripper mechanism 1 includes two opposing gripper modules and an opening / closing drive component 11 for driving the two gripper modules to move closer or further apart. Specifically, the opening / closing drive component 11 is a cylinder.

[0019] The assembled gripper module includes a clamping plate 12, a connecting base plate 13 drivenly connected to the opening and closing drive member 11, and a first sliding assembly 14 disposed between the connecting base plate 13 and the clamping plate 12; the first sliding assembly 14 is arranged in a vertical direction. Specifically, the first sliding assembly 14 includes a slide rail arranged in a vertical direction and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0020] The push plate mechanism 2 includes a push plate 21 and a push plate drive component 22 for driving the push plate 21 to move in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the push plate drive component 22 is a cylinder.

[0021] The assembly drive mechanism 5 includes a Y-axis drive module 51, an X-axis drive module 52 connected to the Y-axis drive module 51, and a Z-axis drive module 53 connected to the X-axis drive module 52; the assembly lifting drive component 4 is mounted on the Z-axis drive module 53. Further, the Y-axis drive module 51, X-axis drive module 52, and Z-axis drive module 53 each include a lead screw and a motor.

[0022] The working process of this utility model is as follows: 1) Assemble the driving mechanism 5 to drive the floating gripper mechanism 1 to take the heat sink 7 from the outside and move it above the heat sink mounting position on the motherboard; 2) Assemble the lifting drive component 4 and drive the floating gripper mechanism 1 and the push plate mechanism 2 to descend simultaneously. The floating gripper mechanism 1 will attach the heat sink 7 to the motherboard. 3) The push plate mechanism 2 compresses the heat sink spring 8 inward. At the same time, the assembly lifting drive 4 drives the floating gripper mechanism 1 and the push plate mechanism 2 to descend for the second time until the heat sink spring 8 descends to the position and engages with the retaining ring 9 on the motherboard. Since the clamping plate 12 of the floating gripper mechanism 1 has descended to the position when the assembly lifting drive 4 is driven for the first time, the clamping plate 12 slides relative to the connecting base plate 13 via the first sliding component 14 during the second drive. That is, the clamping plate 12 does not move, and only the connecting base plate 13 descends. 4) The push plate mechanism 2 resets, so that the heat sink spring 8 hangs on the motherboard retaining ring 9; the floating gripper mechanism 1 and the assembly lifting drive component 4 reset. 5) The assembly position detector 3 checks whether the heat sink 7 is assembled in place.

For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
