Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inductance processing equipment, and more specifically, to an inductance coil grasping device and method. Background Art

[0002] An inductance coil is formed by winding a wire around an insulating tube in a coil-by-coil manner. The wires are insulated from each other, and the insulating tube can be hollow or can contain an iron core or a magnetic powder core, which is simply referred to as an inductor. The vast majority of electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, speakers, etc., are finished products produced by the production department according to specified standards and series for selection. Only a part of the inductance coils, such as choke coils, low-frequency choke coils, oscillation coils, and LG fixed inductance coils, etc., are products produced according to the specified standards. The vast majority of inductance coils are non-standard parts and often need to be made according to actual needs. Since inductance coils are extremely widely used, such as in LC filter circuits, tuned amplifier circuits, oscillation circuits, equalization circuits, decoupling circuits, etc., it is very important to wind appropriate inductance coils.

[0003] For the welding of inductance coils in the prior art, it is first necessary to distinguish the front and back of the inductance coil, and then place the required front and back in the corresponding fixtures, and then weld the inductance coil. The selection of the front and back of the inductance coil and the placement into the fixture mostly adopt manual methods, with a relatively cumbersome process, low efficiency, and high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that the selection of the front and back of the inductance coil and the placement into the fixture mostly adopt manual methods, with a relatively cumbersome process, low efficiency, and high costs, the present invention proposes an inductance coil grasping device and method. After the CCD camera identifies the front and back, it gives an instruction to the grasping device through a communication line. The manipulator of the grasping device reaches the position of the inductance coil to be grasped by rotating, and grasps the inductance coil by rotating and lifting the suction cup of the manipulator and transports it to the corresponding position of the fixture. Finally, the pressing head of the shaping mechanism presses down so that the inductance coil is completely clamped at the corresponding position of the fixture, which can automatically complete the wiring of the inductance coil, improve the manufacturing efficiency, reduce the production cost, and has strong versatility.
