Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip manufacturing and assembly technology, specifically to server automatic feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In server manufacturing, chip loading is a crucial step affecting overall production efficiency and product quality. As high-precision electronic components, server chips have intricate structures and small sizes, requiring extremely high stability and positioning accuracy in their handling and transport. Currently, server chip loading methods in the industry are mainly divided into two categories: manual loading and semi-automated equipment loading. Manual loading relies on operators placing chips at designated workstations, which is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also prone to chip damage due to human error. Furthermore, manual operation is inefficient and cannot meet the demands of large-scale mass production. With the growth of the server market, manual loading is increasingly unable to keep pace with the rhythm of modern production lines. While semi-automated loading methods improve efficiency to some extent, they still have several shortcomings: First, most equipment placement mechanisms lack precise positioning and stable locking functions, making chip gripping deviations prone to occur when the robotic arm is operating due to platform displacement. Second, gripping mechanisms often employ a single adsorption or clamping method. A single adsorption method is prone to chip detachment during transport due to unstable negative pressure, while a single clamping method may damage the chip sidewalls due to improper clamping force control. Third, the lack of dedicated temporary support structures prevents continuous loading of multiple chips. When batch transport is required, the robotic arm needs to frequently travel between the gripping and target positions, significantly reducing operational efficiency. Therefore, we propose an automated server loading system to address these existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic server feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic server feeding device, comprising an enclosure, a placement platform, a fixed base, and a mounting base. The enclosure contains a placement platform, with fixed bases fixedly connected to each of the four corners below the placement platform. Universal wheels are movably connected to the bottom of each fixed base. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the placement platform, and a server chip is placed inside the fixed frame. A robotic arm is located within the enclosure, with a mounting base fixedly connected to its output end. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base, and fixed plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate. A first telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and a suction cup is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic cylinder. The suction cup cooperates with the server chip.

[0005] Preferably, both sides of the mounting plate are fixedly connected to adjustment frames, each adjustment frame is provided with a slide rail, a sliding block is slidably connected to the slide rail, and a gripper is fixedly connected to each sliding block. Furthermore, a second telescopic cylinder is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and a sliding block is fixedly connected to the output end of the second telescopic cylinder.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the enclosure is located on one side of the placement platform and is fixedly connected to a limiting seat by expansion bolts. The horizontal platform height of the limiting seat is the same as the upper surface height of the placement platform, and the limiting seat and the placement platform cooperate with each other.

[0007] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the placement platform on one side of the fixed frame. The detection direction of the photoelectric sensor faces the inside of the fixed frame. The photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether a server chip is placed inside the fixed frame and transmits the detection signal to the controller.

[0008] Preferably, the arcuate inner surface of the gripper is adapted to the sidewall contour of the server chip.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The mounting bracket on the platform is used to neatly place the server chips to be loaded. A photoelectric sensor on one side of the mounting bracket detects in real time whether there are server chips in the mounting bracket and transmits the detection signal to the equipment controller. The casters under the platform can flexibly adjust the overall position of the equipment so that the mounting bracket and the working range of the robotic arm are precisely aligned. The mounting base can be locked after the equipment is positioned to ensure the stability of the platform during operation.

[0010] 2. The robotic arm is moved above the fixed frame, so that the mounting base and mounting plate are precisely aligned with the server chip to be grasped. The first telescopic cylinders on both sides of the mounting plate extend simultaneously, pushing the suction cups to adhere to the upper surface of the server chip. The suction cups initially fix the server chip by negative pressure adsorption to prevent the chip from shifting in the early stage of grasping. At the same time, the second telescopic cylinder on the mounting plate is activated, driving the sliding block to slide towards each other along the slide rail on the adjustment frame, causing the two grippers on both sides to move closer to the side wall of the server chip. Since the arc-shaped inner surface of the grippers matches the contour of the side wall of the server chip, the two grippers on both sides finally clamp the server chip from the horizontal direction.

[0011] 3. The horizontal platform of the limiting seat is at the same height as the upper surface of the placement platform, which can serve as a temporary support point during chip transfer. If multiple chips need to be continuously fed, the robotic arm can first place the already gripped chip on the limiting seat, and then return to grip the next chip, improving feeding efficiency. When the chip reaches the target feeding position, the second telescopic cylinder first drives the gripper to open in the opposite direction, and the first telescopic cylinder drives the suction cup to detach from the chip surface. The robotic arm resets to the initial position, completing a single feeding action. Then the controller waits for the next detection signal from the photoelectric sensor and starts the next feeding cycle. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0015] like Figures 1-4As shown, the automatic server feeding device proposed in this utility model includes an enclosure 1, a placement platform 2, a fixed base 3, and a mounting base 8. The placement platform 2 is disposed inside the enclosure 1. Fixed bases 3 are fixedly connected to the four corners below the placement platform 2. Universal wheels 4 are movably connected to the bottom of each fixed base 3. A fixed frame 5 is fixedly connected to the placement platform 2. A server chip 6 is placed inside the fixed frame 5. A robotic arm is disposed inside the enclosure 1. The output end of the robotic arm is fixedly connected to the mounting base 8. A mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base 8. Fixed plates 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 9. A first telescopic cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 15. A suction cup 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 10. The suction cup 14 cooperates with the server chip 6.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, an adjustment frame 11 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 9. A slide rail 16 is provided on each adjustment frame 11. A sliding block 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 16. A gripper 7 is fixedly connected to each sliding block 12. A second telescopic cylinder 13 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 9 and the output end of the second telescopic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 12.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the enclosure 1 is located on one side of the placement platform 2 and is fixedly connected to a limiting seat 17 by expansion bolts. The horizontal platform height of the limiting seat 17 is the same as the height of the upper surface of the placement platform 2, and the limiting seat 17 and the placement platform 2 cooperate with each other.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, a photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the placement platform 2 on one side of the fixing frame 5. The detection direction of the photoelectric sensor is towards the inside of the fixing frame 5. The photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether a server chip 6 is placed inside the fixing frame 5 and transmits the detection signal to the controller.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the arcuate inner surface of the gripper 7 is adapted to the sidewall profile of the server chip 6.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, the fixed frame 5 on the placement platform 2 is used to neatly place the server chip 6 to be loaded. The photoelectric sensor on one side of the fixed frame 5 detects in real time whether there is a server chip 6 in the fixed frame 5 and transmits the detection signal to the equipment controller. The universal wheels 4 under the placement platform 2 can flexibly adjust the overall position of the equipment so that the fixed frame 5 is precisely aligned with the working range of the robotic arm. The fixed seat 3 can be locked after the equipment is positioned to ensure the stability of the placement platform 2 during operation. The robotic arm is moved above the fixed frame 5, so that the mounting base 8 drives the mounting plate 9 to accurately align with the server chip 6 to be grasped. The first telescopic cylinders 10 on both sides of the mounting plate 9 extend simultaneously, pushing the suction cup 14 to adhere to the upper surface of the server chip 6. The suction cup 14 initially fixes the server chip 6 by negative pressure adsorption to prevent the chip from shifting in the early stage of grasping. At the same time, the second telescopic cylinder 13 on the mounting plate 9 is activated, driving the sliding block 12 to slide towards each other along the slide rail 16 on the adjusting frame 11, driving the two grippers 7 to move closer to the side wall of the server chip 6. Since the arc-shaped inner surface of the gripper 7 matches the contour of the side wall of the server chip 6, the two grippers 7 finally clamp the server chip 6 from the horizontal direction. The horizontal platform of the limiting seat 17 is at the same height as the upper surface of the placement platform 2, which can serve as a temporary support point during chip transfer. If multiple chips need to be continuously fed, the robotic arm can first place the already gripped chip on the limiting seat 17, and then return to grip the next chip, improving feeding efficiency. When the chip reaches the target feeding position, the second telescopic cylinder 13 first drives the gripper 7 to open in the opposite direction, and the first telescopic cylinder 10 drives the suction cup 14 to detach from the chip surface. The robotic arm resets to the initial position, completing a single feeding action. Then the controller waits for the next detection signal from the photoelectric sensor and starts the next feeding cycle.
