[0035] Compared to existing manual sleeved electronic components, this invention adopts a fully automated sleeved structure. The electronic components are sequentially fed, pressed, sleeved, heat-shrinked, and finally unloaded. The process is carried out using a turntable, achieving fully automated sleeved electronic components. This solves the problems of low efficiency and inconsistent dimensional accuracy caused by manual sleeved components. The fully automated feeding, sleeved, and shrinking process eliminates the need for manual operation, achieving a high degree of automation and high work efficiency. Specifically, the device includes a turntable, a feeding device, a pressing device, a sleeve device, a pressing device, a heat shrinking device, and a picking device. The turntable is surrounded by several sets of fixing components for securing electronic components. The feeding device automatically feeds electronic components to the fixing components on the turntable for fixation.

[0036] This invention employs a fully automatic sleeve feeding system. A sleeve feeding assembly feeds the sleeve, which is then guided and guided by a drive mechanism to the sleeve cutting assembly for cutting. Before cutting, a sleeve positioning assembly positions and clamps the sleeve, stretching it to a specified length under the action of a lifting assembly before cutting. During cutting, the clamping module simultaneously inserts the sleeve onto the electronic component while the lifting module stretches it, completing the sleeve feeding action synchronously, saving time and increasing work efficiency.

The guide tube receives the sleeve introduced by the guiding drive assembly, and the cutting module cuts the sleeve. The sleeve positioning assembly includes a lifting module and a clamping module connected to the lifting module. The clamping module clamps the cut sleeve and, under the action of the lifting module, fits it onto the electronic component fixed by the fixing assembly. This system automates the fitting of the sleeve onto the electronic component after alignment and guidance, achieving automated sleeve fitting, saving manpower, and offering high automation and efficiency.

[0037] Compared to existing sleeving processes, this invention employs fully automated sleeving. The overall process is as follows: S1, electronic components are fed onto a fixed assembly on a turntable via a feeding device. The fixed assembly clamps and fixes the pins of the electronic components, ensuring the components are vertical. S2, the turntable drives the fixed assembly to rotate and convey the electronic components to a pressure device. The pressure device presses the vertically oriented electronic components, causing one end of the components to abut against the fixed assembly. S3, the turntable rotates and conveys the pressed electronic components to a sleeving device. The sleeving device releases the sleeving via a sleeving unloading assembly and guides it through a correction and guiding assembly. During guidance, a guiding drive is used. The assembly uses a combination of active and driven rollers to drive the sleeve conveyor, which then delivers it to the sleeve positioning assembly for positioning. A clamping module then holds the cut sleeve and, under the action of a lifting module, fits it onto the electronic component fixed by the fixing assembly. S4, a turntable device continuously conveys the sleeve-fitted electronic component to a pressing device, which presses the sleeve into place. S5, the turntable device continuously conveys the pressed-in sleeve to a shrinking device, which has two sets and is used to shrink both ends of the sleeve with hot air. S6, the turntable device continuously conveys the shrunken electronic component to a picking device, which picks the electronic component off the fixing assembly. The entire process is fully automated, highly automated, requires no manual operation, saves manpower, and has high production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0061] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0062] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve process includes the following steps:

[0064] S1. Electronic components are fed onto a fixed assembly on a turntable via a feeding device. The fixed assembly clamps and fixes the pins of the electronic components, making them vertical. S2. The turntable drives the fixed assembly to rotate and convey the electronic components to a pressure device. The pressure device presses the vertically oriented electronic components, causing one end to abut against the fixed assembly. S3. The turntable rotates and conveys the pressed electronic components to a sleeve device. The sleeve device discharges the sleeves via a sleeve discharge assembly and guides them through a correction and guiding assembly. During guidance, the guide drive assembly uses a combination of a driving roller and a driven roller to... The process involves: S4, conveying the sleeve to the sleeve positioning assembly for positioning; S5, clamping the cut sleeve to the electronic component fixed by the fixing assembly under the action of the lifting module; S6, continuously conveying the sleeve-fitted electronic component to the pressing device, which presses the sleeve into place; S7, continuously conveying the pressed sleeve to the shrinking device, which has two sets and is used to shrink the sleeve with hot air at both ends; S8, continuously conveying the shrunken electronic component to the picking device, which picks up the electronic component from the fixing assembly.

[0065] like Figures 1-15 As shown, the above embodiments are accomplished using the following equipment: the sleeve-making equipment includes a turntable device 1, a feeding device 2, a pressing device 3, a sleeve device 4, a pressing device 5, a heat-shrinking device 6, and a picking device 7. The turntable device 1 is surrounded by several sets of fixing components 11, which are used to fix electronic components. The feeding device 2 automatically feeds electronic components to the fixing components 11 on the turntable device 1 for fixing. The pressing device 3 presses the electronic components fixed by the fixing components 11 into place. The sleeve device 4 inserts a sleeve onto the electronic components fixed by the fixing components 11. The pressing device 5 presses the sleeve into place. The heat-shrinking device 6 heat-shrinks the sleeve onto the electronic components. The picking device 7 picks up the electronic components from the fixing components 11.

[0066] See Figure 3 As shown, a further improvement to the above embodiment is that the turntable device 1 includes a turntable drive assembly 12 and a disk 13 mounted on the turntable drive assembly 12. An opening clamping drive assembly 14 is mounted on the disk 13. The fixing assembly 11 includes a fixing jaw 15. The opening clamping drive assembly 14 is used to drive the fixing jaw 15 to open. The turntable drive assembly 12 drives the disk 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the electronic components held by the fixing jaw 15 to rotate. When it is necessary to open the clamp, the opening clamping drive assembly 14 drives it to open, thereby realizing automatic clamping of electronic components.

[0067] A further improvement to the above embodiment is that the fixed gripper 15 includes a fixed base 151, a gripper connecting rod 152 mounted on the fixed base 151, and a fixed clamping plate 153 connected to the gripper connecting rod 152. The fixed clamping plate 153 is used for clamping and fixing the pins of electronic components. Automatic clamping is achieved by driving the gripper connecting rod 152 to move the fixed clamping plate 153 through the clamping drive assembly 14.

[0068] In step S1, the feeding device picks up the electronic component and places it into the fixed clamp. The fixed clamp is used to clamp and fix the pins of the electronic component in a vertical position. Before fixing, the clamping drive assembly drives the clamping claw linkage to open the fixed clamp. After it is in place, the fixed clamp is reset to clamp the electronic component.

[0069] See Figures 4-5 As shown, a further improvement to the above embodiment is that the feeding device 2 includes a feeding assembly 21 for feeding electronic component carrier tape, a cutting assembly 22 for cutting electronic components from the carrier tape, a positioning feeding assembly 23 for positioning and feeding the cut electronic components, and a loading gripping assembly 24 for picking up the components from the positioning feeding assembly 23. The feeding assembly 21 automatically feeds electronic components in a carrier tape manner. After feeding to a designated position, the cutting assembly separates the electronic components from the carrier tape. After separation, the positioning feeding assembly 23 positions and feeds the electronic components to the designated position. Then, the loading gripping assembly 24 picks up and loads the electronic components.

[0070] A further improvement to the above embodiment is that the positioning and feeding assembly 23 is provided with correction components 25 on both sides for straightening the pins of electronic components. The positioning and feeding assembly 23 includes a lifting and positioning module 231 and a positioning and pushing module 232 connected to the lifting and positioning module 231.

The feeding gripper 244 is used to grip the electronic component on the lifting and positioning module 231 and place it on the fixing assembly 11 for fixation. The transfer module 241 and the feeding lifting module 242 cooperate to realize dual-axis movement, while the feeding rotating module 243 can drive the feeding gripper 244 to rotate, thereby enabling the gripped electronic component to be rotated 90 degrees and placed into the fixing assembly 11 for clamping and fixing, which facilitates subsequent sleeve installation.

[0072] In step S2, the electronic component in the carrier tape shape is fed by the feeding component. When the feeding reaches the designated position, the pins of the electronic component are cut and separated from the carrier tape by the cutting component. Then, the cut pins are corrected by the correction component. After correction, the electronic component with the corrected pins is pushed to the designated position by the lifting and positioning module and the positioning and pushing module. Then, the transfer module drives the loading lifting module to drive the loading rotation module and the loading gripper to clamp the electronic component. After clamping, the electronic component is flipped to a vertical position by the loading rotation module. Then, under the driving action of each module, it is placed on the fixing component and fixed vertically.

There is a gap between the driven rollers 432 for the sleeve to pass through; the sleeve cutting assembly 44 includes a guide tube 441 connected to the lower side of the gap and a cutting module 442 located below the guide tube 441. The guide tube 441 is used to receive the sleeve introduced by the guide drive assembly 43, and the cutting module 442 is used to cut the sleeve; the sleeve positioning assembly 45 includes a lifting module 451 and a clamping module 452 connected to the lifting module 451.

This invention employs a fully automatic sleeve feeding assembly 41 for feeding sleeves. After feeding, the sleeve is guided and guided to the sleeve cutting assembly 44 for cutting. Before cutting, the sleeve is positioned by the sleeve positioning assembly 45 and clamped under the action of the lifting assembly to stretch it to a specified length before cutting. During the cutting process, the clamping module 452 simultaneously inserts the sleeve onto the electronic component while the lifting module 451 is stretching it, thus completing the sleeve feeding action synchronously, saving time and increasing work efficiency. It can automatically insert the sleeve onto the electronic component after being guided and corrected, realizing automated sleeve feeding of electronic components, saving manpower, and achieving a high degree of automation and high work efficiency.

[0076] A further improvement to the above embodiment is that the correction guide assembly 42 includes a correction seat 421 and an inlet seat 422, wherein the correction seat 421 is located above the inlet seat 422 and is used to insert the sleeve into the inlet seat 422 after correction.
