[0034] Reference Figure 1A device for shaping lead wires of an inductor comprises a frame 100 and a jig assembly 200, a shaping mechanism 300, a mold assembly 400, and a wire-splitting mechanism 500 connected to the frame 100. The jig assembly 200 has a receiving position 201 for receiving the inductor 1. The shaping mechanism 300 can shape the lead wire 2 of the inductor 1 placed in the receiving position 201 so that the two lead wires 2 of the inductor 1 can be in the same plane. The mold assembly 400 has a shaping groove 401 for receiving the lead wire 2. The wire-splitting mechanism 500 can separate the two lead wires 2 and can press the two lead wires 2 against the groove walls on both sides of the shaping groove 401 for shaping.

[0035] It is understandable that if Figure 1 As shown, when in use, the inductor 1 is placed in the receiving position 201 of the fixture component 200, and the lead 2 of the inductor 1 extends from the receiving position 201. The lead 2 of the inductor 1 is first shaped by the shaping mechanism 300 so that the two leads 2 of the inductor 1 are in the same plane, and then the two leads 2 of the inductor 1 are placed in the shaping groove 401 of the mold component 400, and then the two leads 2 located in the shaping groove 401 are separated by the wire separation mechanism 500 and the two leads 2 are respectively pressed against the groove walls on both sides of the shaping groove 401 to shape the two leads 2, thereby separating the two leads 2 of the inductor 1 and fixing their placement positions, which can reduce manual labor, improve production efficiency and mechanization, and facilitate production applications.

[0036] In actual application, a conveyor belt can be provided on the frame 100, and the jig assembly 200 can be arranged on the conveyor belt for transportation. The specific structures of the jig assembly 200, the shaping mechanism 300, the mold assembly 400, the line dividing mechanism 500, etc. can be set accordingly according to actual use needs. A detailed description is not given here, and a specific explanation is given below.

[0037] In some embodiments, the fixture assembly 200 includes a fixture seat 210 and a pressing plate 220 movably connected to the fixture seat 210 . The accommodating position 201 is a recessed structure and is disposed on the fixture seat 210 . The pressing plate 220 can press the inductor 1 in the accommodating position 201 .

[0038] It is understandable that if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the accommodating position 201 is a concave structure arranged on the fixture seat 210. When in use, the inductor 1 is placed in the accommodating position 201 and positioned by the accommodating position 201 with a concave structure to limit the horizontal movement of the inductor 1. Subsequently, the inductor 1 in the accommodating position 201 is pressed by the pressing plate 220 to limit the vertical movement of the inductor 1, so as to achieve the placement and fixation of the inductor 1 in the accommodating position 201, thereby improving the reliability of subsequent operations and facilitating use.

[0039] In actual application, the specific structure of the fixture assembly 200 can also be changed according to the actual use needs. For example, it can be fixed by clamping. The pressure plate 220 can be moved and pressed on the inductor 1 or rotated and pressed on the inductor 1. The pressing action can be achieved by a driving member such as a cylinder or an external pushing movement, rotation, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0040] In some embodiments, the shaping mechanism 300 includes a first drive component (not shown in the figure) and a clamping jaw assembly 310 connected to the first drive component, the first drive component can drive the clamping jaw assembly 310 to move relative to the fixture assembly 200, and the clamping jaw assembly 310 can clamp the lead 2 of the inductor 1 placed in the accommodating position 201.

[0041] It is understandable that if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 310 may include a pneumatic finger (not shown in the figure) and two clamping members 311 connected to the pneumatic finger, so as to drive the two clamping members 311 to rotate relative to each other and open and close to achieve a clamping effect. The structure is simple and easy to use; the first driving assembly may be composed of a moving seat, a cylinder and a slide rail, etc. The moving seat is slidably connected to the frame 100 through the slide rail, and the cylinder is driven and connected to the moving seat to drive the moving seat to move left and right. A cylinder is also arranged on the moving seat and connected to the pneumatic finger.

[0042] When in use, the cylinder connected to the movable seat drives it to move left and right, driving the clamping jaw assembly 310 thereon to move. The cylinder arranged on the movable seat drives the clamping jaw assembly 310 to move along the front-to-back direction to the lead 2 of the inductor 1 of the fixture assembly 200, and the pneumatic finger drives the clamping jaw member 311 to rotate relatively to open and close, clamping the left end of the lead 2. Then, the cylinder connected to the movable seat drives the movable seat to move right, causing the clamping jaw assembly 310 to clamp the lead 2 and move rightward, so as to straighten or pull the lead 2 so that the two leads 2 are in the same horizontal plane, which is convenient for the subsequent line separation and shaping operation.

[0043] In actual application, the shaping mechanism 300 can also be configured to clamp and flatten the lead 2 by setting two flat plates for relative movement, so that the two leads 2 can be in the same plane, or to achieve rolling shaping of the lead 2 by setting a flat plate and a rolling wheel, so that the two leads 2 can be in the same plane. The specific structure of the first drive component and the clamping jaw component 310 can also be set accordingly according to actual use needs. For example, the first drive component 310 can be composed of a variety of drivers such as a motor, a cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder. It can achieve moving action through a connecting rod structure or a screw rod structure, or rotate the clamping jaw component 310 to the lead 2 to clamp the lead 2. The clamping jaw component 310 can be a clamping robot, etc. The two clamping jaws 311 can also be driven and moved by two cylinders to achieve relative movement or rotation opening and closing, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mold assembly 400 includes a mold base 410 and a driver 420 connected to the mold base 410 , the molding groove 401 is disposed on the mold base 410 , and the driver 420 can drive the mold base 410 to move up and down.

[0045] It is understandable that if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when in use, the driver 420 drives the mold base 410 to move up and down, so that the lead 2 of the inductor 1 placed on the fixture assembly 200 can be placed in the shaping groove 401 of the mold base 410. The structure is simple and easy to use. In actual application, the mold base 410 can also be fixed, and a driving motor can be connected to the fixture base 210 to drive the fixture base 210 to move toward the mold base 410, so that the lead 2 can be placed in the shaping groove 401 of the mold base 410. The specific structure of the mold assembly 400 can also be changed according to actual use needs, which is not limited here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the frame 100 is provided with an escape opening 101 for accommodating the mold base 410, and the driver 420 is provided at the lower side of the frame 100. It is understandable that, as shown in FIG1 , by providing the escape opening 101 for accommodating the mold base 410 on the frame 100, when in use, the mold base 410 can be driven by the driver 420 to move upward from the escape opening 101 to extend or move downward to retract to the escape opening 101, which is conducive to avoiding interference and collision with the shaping mechanism 300 when it moves, and improving the reliability of use. In actual application, the escape opening 101 can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0047] In some embodiments, the line dividing mechanism 500 includes a second driving component (not shown in the figure) and a dividing member 510 connected to the second driving component. Two dividing members 510 are provided. The second driving component can drive the two dividing members 510 to move and insert them between the two leads 2. The second driving component can drive the two dividing members 510 to move back to back with each other and can drive the two dividing members 510 to move along the molding groove 401.

[0048] It is understandable that if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second driving component can be composed of a pneumatic finger, a motor, a synchronous belt, a cylinder, a moving seat and a slide rail, etc. The pneumatic finger is connected to the two dividing parts 510 so as to drive the two dividing parts 510 to move back to each other. The structure is simple and reasonable and easy to use; the moving seat is slidably connected to the frame 100 through the slide rail, the motor is connected to the synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt is connected to the moving seat so that the motor can drive the moving seat to move left and right through the synchronous belt. The cylinder is arranged on the moving seat and is connected to the pneumatic finger so as to drive the dividing part 510 connected to the pneumatic finger to move up and down.

[0049] When in use, the motor drives the moving seat to move left and right through the synchronous belt, driving the cylinder, the pneumatic finger and the dividing member 510 to move, so that the dividing member 510 moves to the shaping groove 401. 401, and the pneumatic finger drives the two dividing pieces 510 to move back and forth along the shaping groove 401 so that the two leads 2 are pressed against the groove walls on both sides of the shaping groove 401 for shaping. The shaping groove 401 can be set so that the groove width on the side close to the jig assembly 200 is smaller than the groove width on the side away from the jig assembly 200, so as to realize the separation of the two leads 2 and fix their placement positions.

[0050] In actual application, the second drive component can be set accordingly according to actual use needs. It can be composed of various drivers such as motors, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc., and the moving action can be realized through a connecting rod structure or a screw structure. The dividing member 510 can also be driven and moved by two drivers respectively to realize their back-to-back movement. In addition to the above structure, the wire dividing mechanism 500 can also identify the placement of the lead 2 through a graphic recognition system, and clamp it through a clamping robot so that it can be separated and pressed against the two side groove walls of the shaping groove 401 for shaping. It will not be elaborated here.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lower portion of the dividing member 510 is provided with a guide surface 511 capable of guiding the two leads 2 to separate. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower part of the dividing member 510 is provided with an inclined guide surface 511, so that when the two dividing members 510 are matched, the lower part thereof is roughly in an inverted triangle structure, and when inserted between the two leads 2, the guide surface 511 can guide the two leads 2 to separate, making it convenient for the dividing member 510 to be inserted between the two leads 2, and convenient for use. In actual application, the guide surface 511 can also be a curved surface structure, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs, and is not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the upper side of the guide surface 511 is provided with an arc-shaped veneer 512, and the arc-shaped veneer 512 can abut against the outer surface of the lead 2. It is understandable that Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, by providing an arc-shaped veneer 512 on the upper side of the guide surface 511, when the lead 2 is pressed against the groove wall of the shaping groove 401 for shaping, the arc-shaped veneer 512 can abut against the outer surface of the lead 2, achieving a better wire pressing effect and facilitating use. In actual application, the arc-shaped veneer 512 can be changed according to the size of the lead 2, and is not limited here.

[0053] According to the lead branching and shaping method of the second embodiment of the present invention, it is applied to the inductor lead branching and shaping device according to the above-mentioned first embodiment of the present invention.
