Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of patch inductor manufacturing, in particular to an alternating conductor plate material loading mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Chip inductors are electromagnetic induction components made of insulated wires, and are mainly used in the production and manufacturing technology fields of laptop computers, automotive electronic accessories, Bluetooth headsets, and audio. The molding process of chip inductors is roughly as follows: first, the spring coil is welded and fixed on the wire board, and then the pieces are cut and processed into chip inductors.

[0003] In the prior art, manual operation is usually used to implement the processes of feeding, welding and cutting spring coils relative to the wire board. The operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low production efficiency, and the welding process will inevitably produce a large amount of metal dust, which endangers the physical and mental health of workers. To this end, our company has recently developed an automatic welding equipment for wire boards, which is mainly composed of a base, an automatic material receiving mechanism, a wire board loading mechanism, a wire board welding mechanism and a wire board cutting mechanism, wherein the automatic material receiving mechanism is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the base and corresponds to the spring machine, and is used to receive the formed spring coils and then transfer them to the wire board loading mechanism. It should be noted that before the above-mentioned transfer process is executed, the wire board placement fixture used to accommodate the wire board is placed in place relative to the wire board loading mechanism. The spring coil is placed inside the above-mentioned wire board. Then, the wire board together with the spring coil is transferred to the welding station under the action of the wire board loading mechanism, and the two are welded and fixed by means of the wire board welding; then, the wire board loading mechanism moves the welded wire board to the wire cutting station, and the wire board wire cutting mechanism is used to complete the separation of the chip inductor pre-finished product and the wire board. Although the above-mentioned wire board automatic welding equipment effectively reduces the investment in production man-hours and exponentially improves the production efficiency and molding quality of the chip inductor pre-finished products, it also has the following shortcomings: the wire board loading mechanism only includes one carrier jig, so that when the carrier jig moves to the welding station to perform the welding operation, the automatic material receiving mechanism needs to remain in a paused state; and when the carrier jig moves to the loading station to perform the adsorption and placement of the wire board operation, the wire board welding mechanism needs to remain in a paused state, which makes the forming process of the wire board time-consuming, which seriously restricts the improvement of product production efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent for technical personnel to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an alternating wire board loading mechanism with a simple structural design, in which the loading process and the welding process can be carried out simultaneously, and the effective operating hours of the automatic material receiving mechanism and the wire board welding mechanism can be greatly extended.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention relates to an alternating wire plate loading mechanism, which includes a base plate, a first loading fixture, a first linear motion part, a second linear motion part, a second loading fixture, a third linear motion part and a fourth linear motion part, wherein the first linear motion part is fixedly connected to the base plate. The second linear motion part is driven by the first linear motion part so that it performs an overall translational motion along the left and right directions. The first loading fixture is detachably fixed to the above second linear portion and drives it to perform a translational motion along the front and back directions. The third linear motion part is arranged side by side with the above first linear motion part and is also fixed to the base plate. The fourth linear motion part is driven by the third linear motion part so that it performs an overall translational motion along the left and right directions. The second loading fixture is detachably fixed to the fourth linear portion and drives it to perform a translational motion along the front and back directions. The first loading fixture and the second loading fixture perform a circular chasing motion alternately along a rectangular track, and when the first loading fixture is located at the loading station, the second loading fixture is located at the welding station. When the first object carrier is located at the welding station, the second object carrier is located at the loading station.

[0006] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the first linear motion part includes a first ball screw module and a first rotation driving body for driving the first linear motion part. The first ball screw module includes a first screw that rotates around its own central axis by inputting power from the first rotation driving body, a first slider and a first outer shell. An internal thread that matches the first screw is provided in the first slider. The first slider is built into the first outer shell and moves in the left and right directions under the drive of the first screw; the second linear motion part is dragged by the first slider.

[0007] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the third linear motion part includes a second ball screw module and a second rotation drive body for driving the third linear motion part. The second ball screw module includes a second lead screw, a second slider and a second outer shell that rotates around its own central axis by inputting power from the second rotation drive body. An internal thread that matches the second lead screw is provided in the second slider. The second slider is built into the second outer shell and moves in the left and right directions under the drive of the second lead screw. The fourth linear motion part is dragged by the second slider.

[0008] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the second linear motion part includes a first L-shaped support arm and a first cylinder driving it to perform linear motion. A first sinking groove is provided at the free end of the first L-shaped support arm for placing the first object carrier. The fourth linear motion part includes a second L-shaped support arm and a second cylinder driving it to perform linear motion. A second sinking groove is provided at the free end of the second L-shaped support arm for placing the second object carrier.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the second linear motion part further includes a first elastic adjustment pad, which is elastically pressed against the bottom of the first object carrier. The fourth linear motion part further includes a second elastic adjustment pad, which is elastically pressed against the bottom of the second object carrier.

[0010] Compared with the wire board loading mechanism of the traditional design structure, in the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, a second loading fixture is added on the basis of the original first loading fixture, and the second loading fixture moves around the rectangle under the driving force, and the two alternately cycle between the loading station and the welding station in sequence. In this way, the loading process and the welding process are carried out simultaneously, which greatly extends the effective operating hours of the automatic material receiving mechanism and the wire board welding mechanism, thereby effectively improving the production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The relative position schematic diagram of the alternating wire sheet loading mechanism in the wire sheet automatic welding equipment and its partial enlarged diagram are respectively shown. It can be seen that it is arranged downstream of the automatic material receiving mechanism to realize the function of continuously supplying wire sheets to the wire sheet welding mechanism. Therefore, the operating efficiency of the wire sheet loading mechanism directly determines the overall production efficiency of the wire sheet automatic welding equipment.

[0023] Figure 3The three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the alternating wire plate loading mechanism of the present invention is shown. It can be seen that it is mainly composed of several parts such as a base plate 1, a first loading fixture 2, a first linear motion part 3, a second linear motion part 4, a second loading fixture 5, a third linear motion part 6 and a fourth linear motion part 7, wherein the first linear motion part 3 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The second linear motion part 4 is driven by the first linear motion part 3 to make an overall translational motion along the left and right directions. The first loading fixture 2 is detachably fixed to the above-mentioned second linear part 4, and drives it to make a translational motion along the front and back directions. The third linear motion part 6 is placed side by side with the above-mentioned first linear motion part 3, and is also fixed to the base plate 1. The fourth linear motion part 7 is driven by the third linear motion part 6 to make an overall translational motion along the left and right directions. The second loading fixture 5 is detachably fixed to the fourth linear part 7, and drives it to make a translational motion along the front and back directions. The first carrier jig 2 and the second carrier jig 5 perform circular chasing motion alternately along a rectangular track, and when the first carrier jig 2 is located at the loading station, the second carrier jig 5 is located at the welding station. When the first carrier jig 2 is located at the welding station, the second carrier jig 5 is located at the loading station. In this way, the loading process and the welding process are carried out synchronously, which greatly prolongs the effective operating hours of the automatic material receiving mechanism and the wire board welding mechanism, thereby effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0024] As a further optimization of the structure of the alternating wire plate loading mechanism, the first linear motion portion 3 is preferably composed of a first ball screw module 31 and a first rotating drive body 32 for driving the first linear motion portion 3. The first ball screw module 31 includes a first lead screw 311, a first slider 312 and a first outer shell 313 that rotates around its own central axis by inputting power from the first rotating drive body 32. An internal thread that matches the first lead screw 311 is provided in the first slider 312. The first slider 312 is built into the first outer shell 313, and is displaced in the left and right directions under the drive of the first lead screw 311; the second linear motion portion 4 is dragged by the first slider 312 (such as Figure 4 , 5 By adopting the above technical solution, while ensuring the basic driving function of the first linear motion part 3, the design structure thereof is simplified to the greatest extent, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost and facilitating the subsequent maintenance and replacement operations.

[0025] Of course, analogous to the above-mentioned first linear motion part 3, the above-mentioned third linear motion part 6 is preferably composed of a second ball screw module 61 and a second rotation driving body 62 for driving it. The second ball screw module 61 includes a second screw 611, a second slider 612 and a second outer shell 613, which rotates around its own central axis by inputting power from the above-mentioned second rotation driving body 62. An internal thread that matches the second screw 611 is provided in the second slider 612. The second slider 612 is built into the second outer shell 613, and is displaced in the left and right directions under the drive of the second screw 611. The fourth linear motion part 7 is dragged by the above-mentioned second slider 612 (such as Figure 4 , 6 ).

[0026] In order to simplify the structural design and reduce the manufacturing cost and the subsequent maintenance cost as much as possible, the second linear motion part 4 is preferably composed of a first L-shaped support arm 41 and a first cylinder 42 that drives it to perform linear motion. A first sinking groove 411 is provided at the free end of the first L-shaped support arm 41 for placing the first object carrier 2 (such as Figure 4 , 7 The fourth linear motion part 7 includes a second L-shaped support arm 71 and a second cylinder 72 driving the second linear motion part 71. A second sinking groove 711 is provided at the free end of the second L-shaped support arm 71 for placing the second object carrier 5 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 , 7 The advantages of adopting the above technical solution mainly include the following points: 1) It is known that industrial high-pressure air pipelines are laid in most workshops to facilitate the supply of high-pressure gas to the cylinders 42 and 72; 2) The cylinders 42 and 72 themselves have a self-decompression protection function, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of the operation of the alternating wire plate loading mechanism.

[0027] Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the alternating wire plate loading mechanism in the present invention is shown, and the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second linear motion part 4 is additionally provided with a first elastic adjustment pad 43, which is elastically pressed against the bottom of the first loading fixture 2. The fourth linear motion part 7 is additionally provided with a second elastic adjustment pad 73, which is elastically pressed against the bottom of the second loading fixture 5. In this way, by thickening or thinning the thickness of the first elastic adjustment pad 43 and the second elastic adjustment pad 73 respectively, the overall relative height and the levelness of the first loading fixture 2 and the second loading fixture 5 can be conveniently and quickly adjusted, which is conducive to ensuring the smooth execution of the front-end loading process and the back-end welding process.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
