Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coil production equipment, and in particular to an automatic leg bending device for a skeleton coil and a production line for the skeleton coil. Background Art

[0002] Bobbin coils now feature a structure with embedded pins (typically lugs / pins) to optimize the coil winding process. This type of bobbin coil consists of a bobbin, wire, and pins. During processing, one end of the wire must first be connected to one of the pins. After the wire is completely wound around the bobbin, the tail end of the wire must be wound around another pin, and both ends of the wire must be soldered to the two pins.

[0003] Some skeleton coil production lines use a turntable to connect the entire production line in series, such as the coil pin soldering device disclosed in the utility model patent application number CN202220196889.5. Its flux station, soldering station, inspection station and bending station are arranged in sequence around the turntable. By setting a clamping mechanism at each station, the skeleton coil is transferred from the turntable to each station for processing, and then moved back to the turntable to flow to the next process. The various processes of this skeleton coil production line can be carried out simultaneously. Although the production efficiency is higher, it occupies a larger area. The jigs for loading the skeleton coils on the turntable are generally arranged in sequence along the edge of the turntable. At the same station, as the number of skeleton coils being processed simultaneously increases, the size of the required turntable also needs to increase accordingly. The area occupied by the production line increases, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of production equipment.

[0004] Furthermore, after soldering, the pins need to be bent. The consistency of the bending of the bobbin coil pins is one of the criteria for judging the quality of the bobbin coil. Different products use different bobbin coils, and the number, position, and bending angle of the pins on the bobbin coils also vary. Therefore, it is necessary to design a set of bobbin coil processing equipment that suits the company's specific needs to improve production efficiency and yield rate. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 The production line of the skeleton coil of this embodiment includes: a loading device 10, a robotic arm 11, a flux dipping device 12, a tin dipping device 13, an automatic bending device for the skeleton coil, a unloading device 16, a resistance detection device 20 and an image detection device 21. Among them, the automatic bending device for the skeleton coil includes an inner bending device 14 and a bending device 15. The production line of the skeleton coil of this embodiment moves the skeleton coil A through the robotic arm 11. Compared with the prior art that uses a turntable to achieve the movement of the skeleton coil A, the production line of this embodiment occupies a smaller area. The number of skeleton coils A transferred at one time by the robotic arm 11 can be set according to the needs. For example, in this embodiment, the robotic arm 11 can transfer 12 skeleton coils A at one time. The production line of the skeleton coil of this embodiment is not only conducive to the miniaturization of the skeleton coil production equipment, but also ensures the production efficiency of the skeleton coil A.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 The loading device 10 of this embodiment includes a loading translation mechanism 101, a loading lifting mechanism 102, and a loading fixture 103. The loading fixture 103 has a plurality of U-shaped slots 1031 that fit into the skeleton coil A. Both the loading translation mechanism 101 and the loading lifting mechanism 102 are pneumatically driven dual linear guide rail mechanisms. The loading lifting mechanism 102 is fixed to the moving element of the loading translation mechanism 101, and the loading fixture 103 is fixed to the moving element of the loading lifting mechanism 102.

[0044] The loading device 10 is used to remove the skeleton coil A from the conveyor fixture 22 to facilitate insertion and removal by the robotic arm 11. The specific operation is as follows: the loading translation mechanism 101 and the loading lifting mechanism 102 move the loading jig 103 to below the skeleton coil A on the conveyor fixture 22. The loading lifting mechanism 102 drives the loading jig 103 upward, allowing the skeleton coil A to be inserted into the U-shaped slot 1031 through the upper socket of the U-shaped slot 1031. The loading translation mechanism 101 then drives the loading jig 103 backward to remove the skeleton coil A from the jig needle of the conveyor fixture 22.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4The robotic arm 11 of this embodiment includes: an eighth translation mechanism 111, an eighth lifting mechanism 112, an eighth rotation mechanism 113, a fixed seat 114, a rotating rod 115 and a jig 116.

The eighth translation mechanism 111 and the eighth lifting mechanism 112 both adopt linear modules with high positioning accuracy. The eighth lifting mechanism 112 is fixed on the slide of the eighth translation mechanism 111, and the fixed seat 114 is fixed on the slide of the eighth lifting mechanism 112. Bearings are installed at both ends of the fixed seat 114, and the two ends of the rotating rod 115 are respectively installed in the two bearings. The eighth rotation mechanism 113 is fixed on the fixed seat 114, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating rod 115 through a coupling.

[0046] The eighth translation mechanism 111 and the eighth lifting mechanism 112 drive the jig 116 to move, allowing the jig needle 1161 of the jig 116 to insert into the inner hole of the bobbin coil A from the side socket of the loading jig 103, thereby securing the bobbin coil A to the jig 116. Subsequently, the eighth lifting mechanism 112 drives the jig 116 upward to remove the bobbin coil A from the U-shaped slot 1031. The robotic arm 11 then moves the bobbin coil A to the fluxing device 12, where the first and second pins A1 and A2 are dipped in flux. The bobbin coil A is then moved to the tinning device 13, where the first and second pins A1 and A2 are dipped in tin.

First guide rod 143 is provided with first push rods 145 and first sliding holes 1431 alternately along its length. Second guide rod 144 is provided with second sliding holes 1441 and second push rods 146 alternately along its length. First guide rod 143 and second guide rod 144 are arranged parallel to each other, with first push rod 145 corresponding to second sliding holes 1441, and second push rod 146 corresponding to first sliding holes 1431. First push rod 145 is inserted into second sliding holes 1441, and second push rod 146 is inserted into first sliding holes 1431. First drive mechanism 142 is fixed to fixed base 114 and drives first guide rod 143 and second guide rod 144 to move synchronously and symmetrically. Positioning plate 147 is provided below first guide rod 143 and second guide rod 144 to horizontally position bobbin coil A. Because the bobbin coil A of this embodiment has two pins on opposite sides, a plurality of U-shaped slots 1471 extending through the side of the positioning plate 147 are provided. This allows the bobbin coil A to rest on the upper surface of the positioning plate 147, with the third and fourth pins A3 and A4 of the bobbin coil A inserted into the U-shaped slots 1471. The inner-bending device 14 of this embodiment simultaneously bends the first and second pins A1 and A2, minimizing bending angle errors and facilitating high bending speed.

[0049] After tinning is completed, the robot arm 11 flips the skeleton coil A so that the first pin A1 and the second pin A2 are on the top, and the third pin A3 and the fourth pin A4 are on the bottom. At the same time, the robot arm 11 places the skeleton coil A on the upper surface of the positioning plate 147, and the first lifting mechanism 141 drives the first guide rod 143 and the second guide rod 144 to descend, so that the first pin A1 and the second pin A2 are inserted between the two adjacent first push rods 145 and the second push rod 146. The first driving mechanism 142 drives the first guide rod 143 and the second guide rod 144 to move synchronously and symmetrically, and the two adjacent first push rods 145 and the second push rod 146 move toward each other, bending the first pin A1 and the second pin A2 into an eight-shaped shape toward each other, and then the inner eight-shaped bending device 14 is reset, and the robot arm 11 moves the inner eight-shaped skeleton coil A to the unloading device 16.

The seventh lifting mechanism 192 is fixed on the moving element of the seventh translation mechanism 191, and the transfer jig 193 is fixed on the moving element of the seventh lifting mechanism 192. After the robot arm 11 inserts the skeleton coil A into the U-shaped slot 1931 from the upper socket of the U-shaped slot 1931, the transfer device 19 transports the skeleton coil A to the blanking device 16 and inserts the jig needle of the blanking jig 161 into the inner hole of the skeleton coil A from the side socket of the U-shaped slot 1931. The first pin A1 and the second pin A2 of the skeleton coil A in the blanking jig 161 are on the top, and the third pin A3 and the fourth pin A4 are on the bottom.

[0058] In this embodiment, a second fixture positioning mechanism 18 is also provided at the first corner slide 162 to assist the transfer device 19 in mounting the skeleton coil A on the blanking fixture 161. Figure 7 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the first corner slideway 162 defines a horizontal sliding hole 1625 parallel to the third sliding hole 1623. The second fixture positioning mechanism 18 includes a track plate 181, a guide sleeve 182, a second positioning member 183, a sliding member 184, a fixing member 185, a spring 186, and a tenth driving mechanism 187. The track plate 181 is located below the horizontal sliding hole 1625. The height of the track plate 181 gradually increases from the first inlet 1621 to the first outlet 1622. The guide sleeve 182 is arranged between the track plate 181 and the horizontal sliding hole 1625. The fixing member 185 is fixed to the side wall of the guide sleeve 182. The guide sleeve 182 is provided with a vertical sliding hole 1821 above the fixing member 185. The second positioning member 183 is inserted into the guide sleeve 182. The lower end of the second positioning member 183 is in sliding contact with the track plate 181. The upper end of the second positioning member 183 is inserted into the horizontal sliding hole 1625. The sliding member 184 is inserted into the vertical sliding hole 1821 and fixedly connected to the second positioning member 183. One end of the spring 186 is connected to the fixing member 185, and the other end is connected to the sliding member 184. The tenth driving mechanism 187 drives the guide sleeve 182 to move horizontally. The tenth translation mechanism 172 and the tenth driving mechanism 187 of this embodiment are both cylinder and slide rail combinations. The tenth driving mechanism 187 drives the guide sleeve 182 from the first inlet 1621 toward the first outlet 1622, causing the second positioning member 183 to move from the lower position of the track plate 181 to the upper position. The spring 186 is gradually stretched, causing the second positioning member 183 to gradually extend upward from the horizontal sliding hole 1625 and insert into the positioning slot 1611 of the blanking jig 161. The tenth driving mechanism 187 resets, driving the guide sleeve 182 from the first outlet 1622 toward the first inlet 1621. The second positioning member 183 moves from the upper position of the track plate 181 to the lower position. The spring 186 resets, and the second positioning member 183 retracts downward into the horizontal sliding hole 1625, allowing the first side pushing mechanism 166 to push the blanking jig 161 at the first inlet 1621 toward the first outlet 1622.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 11The bending foot device 15 of this embodiment includes: a fifth translation mechanism 151, a fifth lifting mechanism 152 fixed on the moving element of the fifth translation mechanism 151, a bending foot support 153 fixed on the moving element of the fifth lifting mechanism 152, a bending foot rod 154 fixed to the bending foot support 153 through a seat bearing, a bending foot lower limit plate 156 with a pin avoidance groove 1561 on the top surface and arranged below the bending foot rod 154, and a sixth lifting mechanism 155 that drives the bending foot lower limit plate 156 to move up and down. The sixth lifting mechanism 155 raises the lower limit plate 156 of the bending foot, allowing the bobbin coil A to rest on the upper surface of the lower limit plate 156, with the third and fourth pins A3 and A4 inserted into the pin avoidance grooves 1561. The fifth translation mechanism 151 and the fifth lifting mechanism 152 then move the bending rod 154 to the side of the first and second pins A1 and A2. The fifth translation mechanism 151 then drives the bending rod 154 to translate, bending the first and second pins A1 and A2 90°. In this embodiment, both the fifth translation mechanism 151 and the fifth lifting mechanism 152 are linear modules, offering higher precision and more accurate positioning. The sixth lifting mechanism 155 is a combination of a cylinder and a slide rail.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 12 The resistance detection device 20 of this embodiment includes a probe 201 located below the skeleton coil A and a ninth lifting mechanism 202 for lifting the probe 201. The ninth lifting mechanism 202 of this embodiment is a cylinder and slide rail combination mechanism.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 13 The image detection device 21 of this embodiment includes a ninth translation mechanism 213, a light source 211 fixed to a moving element of the ninth translation mechanism 213, and an industrial camera 212 connected to an external image processing system. The ninth translation mechanism 213 is a linear module.

[0062] The production line layout of the skeleton coil in this embodiment is reasonable and compact, and the various devices cooperate with each other in an orderly manner.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Please refer to Figure 14 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that this embodiment is suitable for tinning a skeleton coil A with two or more pins installed on one end. The structure of the skeleton coil A in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, four pins are installed on one side of the skeleton end, namely the first pin A1, the second pin A2, the third pin A3 and the fourth pin A4, wherein the first pin A1 and the fourth pin A4 need to be tinned.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 15The flux dipping device 12 of this embodiment includes: a flux tank 121, a plurality of flux cups 122, a fourth drive mechanism 123, and a flux pump 124. The flux tank 121 is provided with a liquid inlet 1211 at the top and a liquid outlet 1212 at the bottom. The flux pump 124 is connected to the liquid inlet 1211 of the flux tank 121 via a hose and is used to pump flux into the flux tank 121. The fourth drive mechanism 123 includes a cup holder and a vertically arranged slide cylinder. One end of the cup holder is fixed to the slide of the slide cylinder, and the other end extends into the flux tank 121 and is fixed with a plurality of flux cups 122 arranged in the same row.

[0066] The fourth drive mechanism 123 lowers the flux cup 122 until its opening is submerged below the flux liquid level. The fourth drive mechanism 123 then raises the flux cup 122 until its opening protrudes above the flux liquid level to a specified height. At this point, the flux cup 122 is filled with flux. After the robotic arm 11 moves the skeleton coil A above the flux cup 122, it moves the skeleton coil A downward so that the first pin A1 and the fourth pin A4 are inserted into two adjacent flux cups 122 to absorb flux, while the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 are positioned between the two adjacent flux cups 122, avoiding contact with the flux. After the fluxing process is complete, the robotic arm 11 moves the skeleton coil A to the tinning device 13.

[0067] It is understandable that by setting the spacing between the flux cups 122 , the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 can also be dipped in flux, that is, the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 are respectively inserted into two adjacent flux cups 122 to be dipped in flux.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 16. The tinning device 13 of this embodiment includes: a tin pot 131, a tin ash box 132, a tin scraping mechanism 133, a tin surface detection mechanism 134, and a tin adding mechanism 135. A plurality of airtight tubes 1311 are formed between the bottom plate of the tin pot 131 and a side plate. The airtight tubes 1311 are spaced apart and extend through the bottom plate of the tin pot 131. The upper end surface of the airtight tubes 1311 is higher than the tin surface. The tin scraping mechanism 133 includes a second translation mechanism 1331, a second drive mechanism 1332, a tin scraping main plate 1333, a tin scraping auxiliary plate 1334, and a connecting rod 1335. The second translation mechanism 1331 is a guide rod cylinder. One end of the connecting rod 1335 is hinged to the moving element of the second translation mechanism 1331, and the other end is fixed to the main scraper 1333 and the auxiliary scraper plate 1334. The bottom surface of the main scraper 1333 is inclined and has several air-scraping grooves 1333a for clearing the air-scraping tubes 1311. The main scraper 1333 is primarily used to scrape the molten tin between the air-scraping tubes 1311, while the auxiliary scraper plate 1334 is primarily used to scrape the molten tin between the air-scraping tubes 1311 and the other side plate. The second drive mechanism 1332 is a pneumatic cylinder fixed to the moving element of the second translation mechanism 1331 and located above one end of the connecting rod 1335. It is used to rotate the connecting rod 1335 about the hinge point a to raise or lower the main scraper 1333 and auxiliary scraper plate 1334. Tin ash box 132 is provided under the tin outlet of tin furnace 131 and airproof cylinder 1311. Tin surface detection mechanism 134 comprises a third driving mechanism and a tin surface detection probe 201. The third driving mechanism is a tilted guide rod cylinder. The tin surface detection probe is fixed on the moving element of the third driving mechanism.

[0069] After the tin adding mechanism 135 injects tin liquid into the tin furnace 131, the second driving mechanism 1332 pushes one end of the connecting rod 1335 downward, so that the scraping main plate 1333 and the scraping auxiliary plate 1334 are lifted, and the second translation mechanism 1331 moves them to the top of the tin furnace 131. The second driving mechanism 1332 is reset, and the scraping main plate 1333 and the scraping auxiliary plate 1334 fall down. Then the second translation mechanism 1331 is reset to drive the scraping main plate 1333 and the scraping auxiliary plate 1334 to scrape off excess Tin liquid, the third driving mechanism moves the tin surface probe 201 into the tin furnace 131 to detect whether the tin surface height meets the requirements. If it meets the requirements, the robot arm 11 first moves the skeleton coil A to the top of the tin furnace 131, and then moves the skeleton coil A downward, so that the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 of the skeleton coil A are inserted into the airtight cylinder 1311, and the first pin A1 and the fourth pin A4 are inserted into the tin liquid. After the tinning is completed, the robot arm 11 moves the skeleton coil A to the next process for bending.

[0070] It can be understood that by setting the spacing between each air escape tube 1311, the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 can also be tinned, that is, the second pin A2 and the third pin A3 are inserted into the tin liquid between two adjacent air escape tubes 1311, the first pin A1 is inserted into one of the air escape tubes 1311, and the fourth pin A4 is inserted into the other air escape tube 1311.

[0071] Although the present invention has been particularly shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
