Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a forming and trimming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most electronic components have pins. When using them, especially when they are installed on circuit boards using automated equipment, the pins of electronic components need to be relatively neat to improve the accuracy and speed of installation. Therefore, most electronic components need to have their pins trimmed before shipment to meet the usage requirements.

[0003] Currently, there are many lead trimming machines on the market. However, these machines generally suffer from low automation or poor integration, resulting in high labor intensity for operators and large machine footprint. Before trimming, leads need to be straightened or shaped to achieve the required length and orientation. The straightening / shaping and trimming processes require manual handling of material handling, turning, and feeding. Existing material turning mechanisms can easily cause the straightened / shaped leads to bend again, reducing the efficiency of lead trimming. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention proposes a pin trimming device with a high degree of automation and high trimming efficiency.

[0005] A forming and trimming machine includes a feeding mechanism, a forming mechanism, a flipping feeding mechanism, a trimming mechanism, a flipping discharging mechanism, and a discharging mechanism, which are sequentially arranged on a frame.

[0006] The flipping feeding mechanism includes a first flipping drive and a flipping gripper. The first flipping drive connects and drives the flipping gripper to flip 180° between the discharge end of the forming mechanism and the feed end of the trimming mechanism, thereby flipping the electronic components that are placed upright on the discharge end of the forming mechanism 180° up and down and placing them on the feed end of the trimming mechanism, that is, flipping the electronic components so that the pins are facing down instead of up.

[0007] The flipping and discharging mechanism includes a second flipping mechanism and a flipping block. The second flipping mechanism drives the flipping block to flip 90° between the discharge end of the trimming mechanism and the feed end of the discharge mechanism, thereby flipping the electronic components placed on the discharge end of the trimming mechanism 90° to the feed end of the discharge mechanism. That is, the pins of the electronic components are flipped to face the side, which is convenient for stacking when storing the electronic components later.

[0008] This invention, by setting two flipping mechanisms, enables the pins of electronic components to automatically flip from facing upwards to facing downwards, and then automatically flip back to facing sideways during the correction and trimming process. This facilitates the connection and full automation of the entire processing of electronic component pins, and improves the efficiency and quality of electronic pin trimming.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt, a distributing platform, feeding conveyor troughs, distributing blocks, and a distributing drive component. The discharge port of the conveyor belt is connected to one end of the distributing platform. To increase the throughput of the forming shearing machine, there are at least two feeding conveyor troughs, and the inlets of each feeding conveyor trough are connected to the other end of the distributing platform. The distributing block is slidably disposed on the distributing platform and is driven by the distributing drive component to reciprocate between the discharge port of the feeding conveyor belt and the inlets of each feeding conveyor trough, thereby pushing the electronic components located at the discharge port of the feeding conveyor belt to the inlets of each feeding conveyor trough.

[0010] Preferably, in order to improve the utilization rate and feeding capacity of the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism further includes a dividing bar, which is strip-shaped and disposed above the feeding conveyor belt, dividing the conveyor belt into two feeding tracks, and each feeding track can feed independently.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding push block and a feeding push drive. The feeding push drive includes a transverse feeding push cylinder and a longitudinal feeding push cylinder, which are parallel and perpendicular to the feeding conveyor trough, respectively. The longitudinal feeding push cylinder is slidably mounted on a track parallel to the feeding conveyor trough and is connected and driven by the transverse feeding push cylinder. The longitudinal feeding push cylinder drives the feeding push block to move closer to or away from the top of the feeding conveyor trough, thereby pushing the electronic components located in the feeding conveyor trough into the molding mechanism for molding processing.

[0012] Preferably, the molding mechanism includes a molding frame, a molding lifting component, a molding fixing block, a pair of molding movable blocks, and a molding driving component. Specifically,

[0013] The forming lifting component is mounted on top of the feeding conveyor trough via a forming frame. The forming fixing block is mounted on the forming lifting component and faces the feeding conveyor trough. The width of the forming fixing block is equal to the spacing between the pins on the electronic component, allowing the forming fixing block to be offset from the pins and fit against the top surface of the electronic component. Two forming movable blocks are movably mounted on the forming lifting component and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the forming fixing block. The forming drive component is mounted on the forming lifting component and drives the two forming movable blocks to move closer to or further away from the sides of the forming fixing block. The gap between the forming movable blocks and the forming fixing block is parallel to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor trough, thereby flattening the pins and reducing pin bending.

[0014] Preferably, the molding drive component includes a molding cylinder and a pair of molding support arms. The molding lifting component includes a molding lifting seat. The molding cylinder is fixedly mounted on the molding lifting seat with its piston rod facing downwards. The top ends of both molding support arms are connected to the piston rod end of the molding cylinder, and their bottom ends are respectively hinged to the two molding movable blocks. Both molding movable blocks are mounted on the molding lifting seat via a track perpendicular to the molding fixed block. When the piston rod pulls the two molding support arms upwards, the two molding support arms also pull the two molding movable blocks, causing the two molding movable blocks to move along the track and approach the side of the molding fixed block, thus pressing the pin.

[0015] Preferably, a straightening mechanism is further included, disposed between the forming mechanism and the flipping feeding mechanism. The straightening mechanism includes a straightening frame, a pair of straightening movable plates, and a pair of straightening cylinders. The straightening frame is installed near the end of the feeding conveyor trough, where the latter half of the feeding conveyor trough uses a conveyor belt. The two straightening movable plates are arranged opposite each other and are movably mounted on the bottom of the straightening frame via a slide rail that bisects the gap between the forming movable block and the forming fixed block. Each straightening movable plate has a folded plate near the main body of the other straightening movable plate. The two straightening cylinders are symmetrically mounted on the straightening frame and connected to drive the two straightening movable plates to move closer or further apart. This allows the folding plate of one straightening movable plate to move closer or further away from the main body of the other straightening movable plate, pressing or releasing the pins. This allows for further straightening of the pins, and the direction of the straightening is perpendicular to the direction of the forming mechanism, i.e., one is straightening in the front-back direction and the other in the left-right direction. At the same time, by using two relatively moving straightening movable plates, the output force of the two straightening cylinders can be controlled. When the output force is equal, the pins are vertically upward. When the output force is unequal, the pins are biased to one side according to a preset method, which facilitates later trimming or use.

[0016] Preferably, the trimming mechanism includes a trimming platform, a trimming pressing component, two trimming heads, and a trimming drive component. The trimming platform is installed near the discharge end of the feed conveyor trough, and its width is equal to or less than the pin spacing. The trimming pressing component is located on top of the trimming platform and includes a trimming pressing drive component and a trimming pressing plate. The trimming pressing drive component drives the trimming pressing plate up and down to approach or move away from the top surface of the trimming platform, pressing or releasing the electronic components on the trimming platform. The two trimming heads are symmetrically arranged on both sides below the trimming platform and are driven by the trimming drive component to approach or move away from the trimming platform to trim the pins. The bottom sides of the trimming platform have cutting plates extending out and parallel to the ends of the trimming heads, providing support for the trimming heads when trimming the pins.

[0017] The trimming mechanism further includes a trimming push plate and a trimming push drive, the trimming push drive including a transverse trimming push seat and a longitudinal trimming push cylinder. The transverse trimming push seat drives the longitudinal trimming push cylinder to move along the trimming platform. The longitudinal trimming push cylinder drives the trimming push plate to enter or exit the top of the trimming platform, thereby pushing or pushing the electronic components located on the trimming platform into or out of the range of the trimming press and the two trimming heads.

[0018] Preferably, the circumference of the flipping block is provided with four evenly distributed material troughs, which pass through both ends of the flipping block. The second flipping mechanism drives the flipping block to rotate, and the material troughs on the flipping block rotate 90° in sequence, connecting to the trimming mechanism at one end and switching to the discharge mechanism at the other end, thereby realizing the side flipping of the electronic components located in the material troughs.

[0019] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a discharge transfer assembly, a discharge conveyor belt, and a discharge pushing assembly. The discharge transfer assembly includes a discharge platform, a discharge longitudinal moving seat, a discharge lifting seat, and a discharge pneumatic gripper. The discharge platform is located near the end of the trimming platform. The discharge longitudinal moving seat drives the discharge lifting seat to reciprocate between the ends of the discharge platform and the trimming platform. At least one discharge pneumatic gripper is mounted on the discharge lifting seat and is connected to the discharge lifting seat. The second tilting mechanism drives the tilting block to rotate, causing the material trough to sequentially connect with the discharge conveyor belt and the discharge platform.

[0020] The discharge pushing assembly includes a tilting pushing plate, a tilting pushing drive, a discharge pushing plate, and a discharge pushing drive. The tilting pushing drive connects and drives the tilting pushing plate forward or backward on the discharge platform, moving closer to or away from the tilting block. The discharge pushing drive connects and drives the discharge pushing plate forward or backward within the material trough of the tilting block, moving closer to or away from the feed end of the discharge conveyor belt.

[0021] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. By setting two flipping mechanisms, the pins of electronic components can be automatically flipped from facing up to facing down and then automatically flipped to facing the side during the correction and trimming process. This helps to achieve the connection and full automation of the entire processing of electronic component pins, and improves the efficiency and quality of electronic pin trimming.

[0023] 2. This invention improves the utilization rate of the equipment unit and the trimming efficiency of the equipment by connecting a set of feeding and discharging mechanisms with at least two sets of forming mechanisms, flipping feeding mechanisms, trimming mechanisms and flipping discharging mechanisms;

[0024] 3. This invention increases the feeding capacity of a set of feeding mechanisms and improves material conveying efficiency by dividing the feeding conveyor belt of the feeding mechanism;

[0025] 4. By setting up forming and straightening mechanisms with different straightening directions, the straightened pins are vertically upward, which facilitates subsequent trimming. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the technical problems, solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 8 A forming and trimming machine includes a feeding mechanism 1, a forming mechanism 2, a flipping feeding mechanism 3, a trimming mechanism 4, a flipping discharging mechanism 5, and a discharging mechanism 6 arranged sequentially on a frame.

[0039] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding conveyor belt 11, a distributing platform, feeding conveying troughs 12, distributing blocks 13, and a distributing drive. The discharge port of the conveyor belt is connected to one end of the distributing platform. To increase the throughput of the forming shearing machine, there are at least two feeding conveying troughs 12, and the inlets of each feeding conveying trough 12 are connected to the other end of the distributing platform. The distributing blocks 13 are slidably disposed on the distributing platform and are driven by the distributing drive to reciprocate between the discharge port of the feeding conveyor belt 11 and the inlets of each feeding conveying trough 12, thereby pushing the electronic components located at the discharge port of the feeding conveyor belt 11 to the inlets of each feeding conveying trough 12.

[0040] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 1 further includes a feeding push block 14 and a feeding push drive component. The feeding push drive component includes a transverse feeding push cylinder and a longitudinal feeding push cylinder, which are parallel and perpendicular to the feeding conveying groove 12, respectively. The longitudinal feeding push cylinder is slidably mounted on a track parallel to the feeding conveying groove 12 and is connected and driven by the transverse feeding push cylinder. The longitudinal feeding push cylinder drives the feeding push block 14 to move closer to or away from the top of the feeding conveying groove 12, thereby pushing the electronic components located in the feeding conveying groove 12 into the molding mechanism 2 for molding processing.

[0041] In other embodiments, in order to improve the utilization rate and feeding amount of the feeding mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism 1 further includes a dividing strip 15, which is strip-shaped and disposed above the feeding conveyor belt 11 to divide the conveyor belt into two feeding tracks, and each feeding track can feed independently.

[0042] In one embodiment, the molding mechanism 2 includes a molding frame, a molding lifting member 21, a molding fixing block 22, a pair of molding movable blocks 23, and a molding driving member 24. Specifically,

[0043] The molding lifting component 21 is mounted on top of the feeding conveyor trough 12 via a molding frame. The molding fixing block 22 is mounted on the molding lifting component 21 and faces the feeding conveyor trough 12. The width of the molding fixing block 22 is equal to the spacing between the pins on the electronic component, allowing the molding fixing block 22 to be offset from the pins and fit against the top surface of the electronic component. Two molding movable blocks 23 are movably mounted on the molding lifting component 21 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the molding fixing block 22.

[0044] The molding drive component 24 is mounted on the molding lifting component 21 and connects to drive the two molding movable blocks 23 to approach or separate from the sides of the molding fixed block 22. The gap between the molding movable blocks 23 and the molding fixed block 22 is parallel to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor trough 12, thereby flattening the pins and reducing pin bending. Preferably, the molding drive component 24 includes a molding cylinder and a pair of molding support arms. The molding lifting component 21 includes a molding lifting seat. The molding cylinder is fixedly mounted on the molding lifting seat with the piston rod facing downward. The top ends of the two molding support arms are connected to the piston rod end of the molding cylinder, and the bottom ends are respectively hinged to the two molding movable blocks 23. The two molding movable blocks 23 are mounted on the molding lifting seat via a track perpendicular to the molding fixed block 22. When the piston rod pulls the two molding support arms upward, the two molding support arms also pull the two molding movable blocks 23, causing the two molding movable blocks 23 to move along the track and approach the sides of the molding fixed block 22, squeezing the pins.

[0045] In one embodiment, the forming lifting component 21 is installed on the forming frame by means of a lead screw and nut. The height of the forming lifting component 21 can be adjusted by setting a motor to drive it or by manually adjusting the handle to drive the lead screw.

[0046] In one embodiment, a straightening mechanism 7 is further included, disposed between the forming mechanism 2 and the flipping feeding mechanism 3. The straightening mechanism 7 includes a straightening frame, a pair of straightening movable plates 71, and a pair of straightening cylinders. The straightening frame is installed near the end of the feeding conveyor trough 12, where the latter half of the feeding conveyor trough 12 uses a conveyor belt, and a pusher is provided at the end of the conveyor belt to push electronic components into the straightening mechanism 7 located on the side of the conveyor belt. The two straightening movable plates 71 are arranged opposite each other and are movably mounted on the bottom of the straightening frame via a slide rail that bisects the gap between the vertical forming movable block 23 and the forming fixed block 22. Each straightening movable plate 71 has a folded plate 711 near the main body of the other straightening movable plate 71. Two straightening cylinders are symmetrically mounted on the straightening frame and connected to drive the two straightening movable plates 71 to move closer or further apart. This allows the folding plate 711 of one straightening movable plate 71 to move closer or further away from the body of the other straightening movable plate 71, pressing or releasing the pins and enabling further straightening of the pins. The straightening direction is perpendicular to the straightening direction of the forming mechanism, i.e., one straightening in a front-back direction and the other in a left-right direction. Simultaneously, by using two relatively moving straightening movable plates 71, the output force of the two straightening cylinders can be controlled. When the output forces are equal, the pins point vertically upwards; when the output forces are unequal, the pins deflect to one side according to a preset method, facilitating later trimming or use. In other embodiments, the straightening frame is installed using a lead screw and nut drive method, which can be driven by a motor or manually adjusted by a handle.

[0047] In one embodiment, the flipping feeding mechanism 3 includes a first flipping drive 31 and a flipping gripper 32. The first flipping drive 31 drives the flipping gripper 32 to flip 180° between the discharge end of the forming mechanism 2 and the feed end of the trimming mechanism 4, thereby flipping the electronic components that are placed upright on the discharge end of the forming mechanism 2 up and down by 180° and placing them on the feed end of the trimming mechanism 4, that is, flipping the electronic components so that the pins are facing down instead of up.

[0048] In one embodiment, the trimming mechanism 4 includes a trimming platform 41, a trimming pressing member 42, two trimming heads 43, and a trimming drive member 44. The trimming platform 41 is installed near the discharge end of the feed conveyor 12, and its width is equal to or less than the pin spacing. The trimming pressing member 42 is disposed on the top of the trimming platform 41 and includes a trimming pressing drive member and a trimming pressing plate. The trimming pressing drive member drives the trimming pressing plate up and down to approach or move away from the top surface of the trimming platform 41, pressing or releasing the electronic components on the trimming platform 41. The two trimming heads 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides below the trimming platform 41 and are driven by the trimming drive member 44 to approach or move away from the trimming platform 41 to trim the pins. The bottom sides of the trimming platform 41 are provided with cutting plates extending out and parallel to the ends of the trimming heads, providing support for the trimming heads 43 when trimming the pins.

[0049] In one embodiment, the trimming mechanism 4 is mounted on the frame using a lead screw and nut drive method. The height of the trimming mechanism 4 can be adjusted by setting a motor to drive it or by manually adjusting the handle to drive the lead screw.

[0050] Preferably, the trimming mechanism 4 further includes a trimming push plate 45 and a trimming push drive, the trimming push drive including a transverse trimming push seat and a longitudinal trimming push cylinder. The transverse trimming push seat drives the longitudinal trimming push cylinder to move along the trimming platform 41. The longitudinal trimming push cylinder drives the trimming push plate 45 to enter or exit the top of the trimming platform 41, thereby pushing or pushing the electronic components located on the trimming platform 41 into or out of the range of the trimming press member 42 and the two trimming heads 43.

[0051] The flipping and discharging mechanism 5 includes a second flipping mechanism 51 and a flipping block 52. The second flipping mechanism 51 drives the flipping block 52 to flip 90° between the discharge end of the trimming mechanism 4 and the feed end of the discharge mechanism 6, thereby flipping the electronic components placed on the discharge end of the trimming mechanism 4 to the side by 90° and placing them on the feed end of the discharge mechanism 6. That is, the pins of the electronic components are flipped to face the side, which is convenient for stacking when storing the electronic components later.

[0052] In one embodiment, the circumference of the flipping block 52 is provided with four evenly distributed material troughs 521, the material troughs 521 passing through both ends of the flipping block 52, and the second flipping mechanism 51 drives the flipping block 52 to rotate. The material troughs 521 on the flipping block 52 rotate 90° in sequence, from one end connecting to the trimming mechanism 4, to the other end connecting to the discharge mechanism 6, thereby realizing the side flipping of the electronic components located in the material troughs 521.

[0053] In one embodiment, the discharge mechanism 6 includes a discharge transfer assembly 61, a discharge conveyor belt 62, and a discharge pushing assembly. The discharge transfer assembly 61 includes a discharge platform 611, a discharge longitudinal moving seat, a discharge lifting seat, and a discharge pneumatic gripper. The discharge platform 611 is located near the end of the trimming platform 41. The discharge longitudinal moving seat drives the discharge lifting seat to reciprocate between the discharge platform 611 and the end of the trimming platform 41. At least one discharge pneumatic gripper is mounted on the discharge lifting seat and driven by the second flipping mechanism 51, which drives the flipping block 52 to rotate, causing the material trough 521 to sequentially engage with the discharge conveyor belt 62 and the discharge platform 611.

[0054] The discharge pushing assembly includes a tilting pushing plate 63, a tilting pushing drive, a discharge pushing plate 64, and a discharge pushing drive. The tilting pushing drive drives the tilting pushing plate forward or backward on the discharge platform 611, moving closer to or away from the tilting block 52. The discharge pushing drive drives the discharge pushing plate 64 forward or backward within the material trough 521 of the tilting block 52, moving closer to or away from the feed end of the discharge conveyor belt 62.

[0055] During operation, electronic components enter from the feeding conveyor belt 11 of the feeding mechanism 1 with their pins facing upwards. When the electronic components are conveyed to the sorting platform, they are pushed by the sorting block 13 into different feeding conveyor troughs 12, and then pushed by the feeding push block 14 to different groups of forming mechanisms 2.

[0056] When the electronic component is in the forming mechanism 2, its pins are pressed by the forming fixed block 22 and the forming movable block 23, and the bends on the pins are flattened. Then it is conveyed out from the forming mechanism 2, either by being driven out by the conveyor belt or by being pushed forward by the next electronic component, and enters the correction mechanism 7.

[0057] After the pins of the electronic components are further corrected by the correction mechanism 7, they are placed on the trimming platform 41 by the flipping and driving of the flipping feeding mechanism 3, and pushed into the pin trimming range by the trimming push plate 45. After being pressed by the trimming pressing plate, the pins facing down after flipping are cut by the trimming head 43.

[0058] The trimmed electronic component, propelled by the next electronic component, moves forward and is transferred to the discharge platform 611 by the discharge transfer assembly 61. It is then pushed by the flipping pusher plate 63 into a material trough 521 on the flipping block 52. When the flipping block 52 rotates 90°, the electronic component in the material trough 521 is flipped 90°, with its downward-facing pins now facing sideways. Immediately afterwards, the discharge pusher plate 64 pushes the side-flipped electronic component into the feed end of the discharge conveyor belt 62, where it is finally output, completing one round of electronic component pin trimming.

[0059] This invention, by setting two flipping mechanisms, enables the pins of electronic components to automatically flip from facing upwards to facing downwards, and then automatically flip back to facing sideways during the correction and trimming process. This facilitates the connection and full automation of the entire processing of electronic component pins, and improves the efficiency and quality of electronic pin trimming.

[0060] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
