[0002] A reed switch sensor is a switch-type sensor that uses changes in magnetic fields to detect the position or state of an object. It consists of two contacts sealed within a glass tube filled with inert gas. When an external magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, the contacts close or open, thus changing the state of the circuit. This type of sensor has advantages such as high sensitivity, fast response, no mechanical wear, and long lifespan, and is widely used in automation control, safety monitoring, position detection, counters, proximity sensors, and many other applications. The reed switch sensor has a simple and reliable working principle, is easy to maintain, and can operate stably in various harsh environments, making it an ideal choice for achieving precise control and monitoring.

S5: The reed switch is inserted into the inner hole of the coil to obtain a reed switch coil semi-finished product; S6: The reed switch coil semi-finished product is moved to the clamping groove 4-311 through the transfer device 5-1000 and the reed switch coil semi-finished product is fixed; S7: The first bending mechanism 4-4 is activated so that the lower bending part 4-42 rolls and abuts against the pin of the reed switch coil semi-finished product, bending the pin once; S8: The second bending mechanism 4-5 is activated so that the front bending part 4-51 and the rear bending part 4-52 abut against the pin, bending the pin a second time to obtain the finished product; S9: The finished product is unloaded through the unloading device 6-1000.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, to avoid scratching the plating of the reed switch pins during bending, a bending device 4-1000 is provided, including a frame 4-1, a guide rail 4-2, a first bending mechanism 4-4, and a second bending mechanism 4-5. A sliding seat 4-3 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 4-2. The sliding seat 4-3 is driven by an eighth driving member 4-21, causing the sliding seat 4-3 to slide on the guide rail 4-2. The sliding seat 4-3 has a clamping groove 4-311 for fixing the product. The first bending mechanism 4-4 includes an upper bending portion 4-41 and a lower bending portion 4-5 arranged along a direction perpendicular to the sliding seat 4-3. 42. The upper bending part 4-41 and the lower bending part 4-42 are movably mounted on the frame 4-1. The lower bending part 4-42 is provided with a roller 4-423. The roller 4-423 is used to roll against the reed switch pin to achieve bending. The second bending mechanism 4-5 includes a front bending part 4-51 and a rear bending part 4-52 arranged horizontally. The front bending part 4-51 and the rear bending part 4-52 are movably mounted on the frame 4-1. The front bending part 4-51 is provided with a punch head 4-515 facing the rear bending part 4-52. The rear bending part 4-52 is provided with a mating head 4-522 facing the punch head 4-515. During the pin bending operation, the product is fixed in the clamping groove 4-311, and the sliding seat 4-3 slides from the guide rail 4-2 to below the frame 4-1. The lower bending part 4-42 of the first bending mechanism 4-4 moves upward, and the roller 4-423 rolls and abuts against the reed switch pin and continues to move along the direction perpendicular to the pin extension until the reed switch pin is bent. At this time, the upper bending part 4-41 and the lower bending part 4-42 move in opposite directions, and one bending operation is completed. The front bending part 4-51 and the rear bending part 4-52 of the second bending mechanism 4-5 move in the same direction until the punch head 4-515 abuts against the reed switch pin after the first bending. The punch head 4-515 and the bending groove 4-523 cooperate to achieve a second bending of the reed switch pin. The bending of the reed switch pin by this equipment adopts a roller-type rolling contact scheme, which reduces the friction between the equipment and the reed switch pin, thereby avoiding scratches on the surface coating of the pin.

[0047] The lower bend 4-42 also includes a first mounting bracket 4-421, for details please refer to further details. Figure 15A first mounting bracket 4-421 is mounted on the frame 4-1. A second driving member 4-422 is preferably a cylinder. The second driving member 4-422 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 4-421 and has a driving end that can extend and retract vertically. The driving end has a mounting post 4-424, and a roller 4-423 is located at the end of the mounting post 4-424 away from the first driving member 3-31. In one embodiment of the invention, to guide the reed switch pin, a first guide member 4-425 is provided at the end of the mounting post 4-424 away from the first driving member 3-31. The first guide member 4-425 has a first guide opening 4-426, which faces upward and is located circumferentially to the roller 4-423. When the lower bend 4-42 moves upward until it contacts the reed switch pin, the reed switch pin is engaged in the first guide opening 4-426 and abuts against two guide ramps. 4-426 guides the pin to roll and abut against the peripheral wall of roller 4-423. At this time, the second driving member 4-422 drives roller 4-423 to continue moving upward. One side of the reed switch pin abuts against the abutting surface 4-414 of the abutting plate 4-411 of the upper bending part 4-41. One side is deformed by the bending force of roller 4-423, forming an L-shaped bending mark. Compared with the traditional punching process, the rolling bending of reed switch pins using roller 4-423 can significantly reduce damage to the surface coating of the pin. In addition, the upper bending part 4-41 is provided with a buffer part 4-413. The buffer part 4-413 can absorb the kinetic energy of the contact between the upper bending part 4-41 and the lower bending part 4-42 through elastic contact, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0048] The 4-423 roller bending technology uses continuously applied force to gradually bend the reed switch pins along a predetermined trajectory. This method avoids the instantaneous high pressure and direct impact that can occur in traditional stamping bending, reducing the risk of scratches and wear on the pin surface plating. Therefore, it helps maintain the integrity of the pin plating, extending its service life and enhancing the stability of the circuit connection. Furthermore, the gentle operation of the 4-423 roller bending reduces the potential risk of damage to related equipment, lowers equipment maintenance costs and the frequency of failures, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire production process and the quality of the final product.

[0049] To ensure that the reed switch pins are not damaged during bending, a proper gap must be maintained between the roller 4-423 and the abutment plate 4-411. For this purpose, at least one portion of the upper bend 4-41 and the lower bend 4-42 is designed with a guide post 4-427, while the other portion is fitted with a guide hole. The invention does not limit which portion is equipped with the guide post 4-427 or the guide hole. In one embodiment, the lower bend 4-42 is equipped with the guide post 4-427, while the upper bend 4-41 is designed with a corresponding guide hole. Figure 16As shown, guide post 4-427 can be flexibly inserted into the guide hole for positioning. This design ensures that the gap between roller 4-423 and abutment plate 4-411 is kept within an appropriate range, thereby achieving precise bending of the reed switch pins.

[0050] After the first bending process, the reed switch pins need to be bent a second time. In the second bending process, to ensure that the front bending section 4-51 maintains a consistent speed when moving towards the rear bending section, and to reduce the possibility of damage to the plating on the surface of the reed switch pins, the front bending section 4-51 is equipped with a ninth drive element 4-511. The function of the third drive element 4-412 is to push the stamping head 4-515 towards the mating head 4-522. It should be noted that the ninth drive element 4-511 can be either a cylinder or a motor; this invention does not have a specific limitation. In one embodiment of this invention, the ninth drive element 4-511 is a servo motor. The servo motor-driven stamping head 4-515 offers several advantages: First, the servo motor provides precise control, ensuring bending accuracy and improving product quality; second, the servo system responds quickly, enabling rapid start-up and shutdown, thus increasing production efficiency; third, the high torque characteristics of the servo motor ensure powerful driving force when facing heavy loads or complex bending tasks; furthermore, the programmability of the servo motor allows for complex motion control and multi-axis coordination to adapt to diverse production needs; simultaneously, the energy-saving characteristics of the servo system help reduce energy consumption during non-operational periods, reducing long-term operating costs.

[0051] To ensure smooth operation of the punch head 4-515 when the servo motor starts, the drive end of the servo motor is connected to the input end of the transmission component 4-512, while the punch head 4-515 is connected to the output end of the transmission component 4-512. The transmission component 4-512 is a flexible transmission system composed of a belt and pulleys 1-23. When the servo motor starts, the slippage characteristic of the belt ensures the smooth movement of the punch head 4-515. To match the structure of the transmission component 4-512, the punch head 4-515 is mounted on the second slider 4-514. Specifically, as follows... Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the second slider 4-514 slides on the frame 4-1. The output end of the transmission component 4-512 is connected to the lead screw 4-513, which is threadedly connected to the second slider 4-514. When the servo motor drives the transmission component 4-512 and rotates the lead screw 4-513, the lead screw 4-513 pushes the second slider 4-514 to move back and forth, achieving uniform feed.

[0052] To ensure that the reed switch pins do not shift due to force when in contact with the stamping head 4-515, the stamping head 4-515 is equipped with a second guide 4-516. For details, please refer to further information. Figure 18The second guide member 4-516 has a second guide opening 4-517 facing the rear bending portion 4-52. Part of the reed switch pin structure will be inserted into the second guide opening 4-517 for positioning, ensuring its stability and preventing displacement. In addition, the front bending portion 4-51 also includes an elastic connector 4-518. One end of the elastic connector 4-518 is connected to the stamping head 4-515, and the other end is connected to the second guide member 4-516, forming an elastic connection and reducing potential damage to the reed switch pin from hard contact. To enable the reed switch pin to be bent into a specific shape, the rear bending portion 4-52 is equipped with a mating head 4-522 that matches the stamping head 4-515. The mating head 4-522 is designed with a bending groove 4-523 and is U-shaped overall. When the stamping head 4-515 and the mating head 4-522 are closed, the reed switch pin is located between them, and this structure enables the pin to be bent and formed into the desired shape. Furthermore, the top of the mating head 4-522 is also provided with a relief groove 4-524, which is connected to the bending groove 4-523 and serves to guide the reed switch pins.

[0053] To facilitate the loading of semi-finished reed switch coils, in one embodiment of the present invention, the reed switch pins are loaded via guide rail 4-2 and a sliding seat 4-3 located on guide rail 4-2. For details, please refer to further details. Figure 20 The sliding seat 4-3 is equipped with a clamping mechanism 4-31, which has a clamping groove 4-311. The product is placed in the clamping groove 4-311 to be fixed. The sliding seat 4-3 then drives the product to slide to the bottom of the frame 4-1, which is the processing position of the first bending mechanism 4-4 and the second bending mechanism 4-5, thereby achieving product fixation and feeding.

[0054] To achieve automated coil feeding, this invention proposes a coil feeding device 1-1000, which is part of a reed switch sensor production equipment 10000. The coil feeding device 1-1000 includes a conveyor track 1-2, a stop mechanism 1-8, and a first multi-axis robot 1-4. The conveyor track 1-2 is located on the workbench 101 and sequentially forms a feeding position 1-2x, a picking position 1-2y, and a recycling position 1-2z along the movement direction of the conveyor track 1-2. A tray 1-3 containing coils is placed on the conveyor track 1-2 and can move from the feeding position 1-2x to the recycling position along the track. In practical production, workers or other automated equipment stack the coil-containing trays 1-3 vertically at the loading position 1-2x. The bottom tray 1-3 will start moving under the drive of the assembly line track 1-2. The stop mechanism 1-8 includes a fourth drive component 1-21, which extends to block the tray 1-3, causing the tray 1-3 to stop at the picking position 1-2y. After the first multi-axis robot 1-4 grabs the coil in the tray 1-3, the stop mechanism 1-8 falls down, and the tray 1-3 moves to the recycling position 1-2z along the track. The entire coil loading process is automated, greatly reducing the consumption of manpower.

[0055] To facilitate the transfer of the coil to the assembly mechanism and its assembly with the reed switch, the clamping end 1-41 is equipped with spaced-apart clamping parts. Each clamping part consists of a sixth drive member 1-42, a guide rail 4-2, and two grippers 1-43 that slide on the guide rail 4-2. Specifically, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when a coil needs to be picked up, the movement of the multi-axis robot guides the gripping end 1-41 to the picking point, and the two grippers 1-43 clamp the coil by bringing them together, thereby removing it from the tray 1-3.

[0056] The assembly line track 1-2 can be designed as either a pulley type or a roller type conveyor belt 1-22; the present invention does not impose any specific limitations on this. In one embodiment, the assembly line track 1-2 consists of a drive motor and two conveyor belts 1-22, each mounted on a pulley 1-23 on a frame 1-11. A portion of the conveyor belt 1-22 is connected to the drive motor, and the rotation of the drive motor drives the movement of the conveyor belt 1-22 via its connection to the motor's output shaft. Since the conveyor belt 1-22 needs to support coils and a tray 1-3 containing coils, its gravity exerts downward pressure on the conveyor belt 1-22, potentially causing deformation and increasing friction on the tray 1-3, hindering its continued movement. To address this issue, the frame 1-11 is equipped with a horizontally extending support plate (not shown in the figure), the upper surface of which is spaced apart from the pulleys 1-23. When pulley 1-23 deforms due to gravity, the support plate provides necessary support to maintain the smooth conveying of material tray 1-3. A first partition plate 1-12 and a second partition plate 1-13 are respectively provided between the loading position 1-2x and the unloading position 1-2y, and between the unloading position 1-2y and the recycling position 1-2z. These partition plates separate different processing areas, thereby reducing interference.

[0057] When the material tray 1-3 moves to the picking position 1-2y, the stop mechanism 1-8 will abut against one side of the material tray 1-3, thus stopping the material tray 1-3 at the picking position 1-2y, which facilitates the picking operation of the multi-axis robot. To automate the operation of the stop mechanism 1-8, the assembly line track 1-2 also includes a radar detection device 1-5. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 5 The radar detection device 1-5 can identify objects in the material picking position 1-2y in real time. When the material tray 1-3 enters the material picking position 1-2y along the conveyor belt 1-22, the radar detection device 1-5 emits radio waves and receives the reflected signals. The electromagnetic waves emitted by the device are reflected when they encounter the material tray 1-3. The radar receiver captures these reflected waves and determines the distance between the material tray 1-3 and the stop mechanism 1-8 and the speed of the material tray 1-3 itself based on the time delay, frequency change and intensity change of the signal. This controls the stop mechanism 1-8 to rise and stop the material tray 1-3. After the material is picked up, the piston descends and the material tray 1-3 moves with the conveyor belt 1-22 to the recycling position 1-2z.

[0058] To improve equipment operating efficiency, the loading area is equipped with a dedicated loading mechanism 1-6, which includes a first storage rack 1-61. Specifically, as... Figure 5As shown, the first storage rack 1-61 is mounted on the workbench 101, positioned above it, and aligned with the direction of the vertical assembly line track 1-2. This storage rack consists of four uprights 2-311, which together enclose a rectangular space for vertically stacking trays 1-3 containing coils. Below the first storage rack 1-61, two movable locking plates 1-62 are provided. These locking plates 1-62 engage with the protruding edges of the trays 1-3 to stably position them. When the equipment is started and running, the first lifting section 1-64 on the workbench 101 rises until it contacts the bottom tray 1-3. These two locking plates 1-62 are driven by a second cylinder and can be opened when needed. Once the locking plates 1-62 are open, the bottom tray 1-3 is placed on the first lifting section 1-64, which then descends to place the tray 1-3 onto the conveyor belt 1-22. Afterwards, the material trays 1-3 will move along the conveyor belt 1-22 to the designated material picking position 1-2y.

[0059] To ensure proper and standardized placement of empty material trays 1-3 after material collection at self-feeding positions 1-2y, this equipment is equipped with a recycling mechanism 1-7 at recycling position 1-2z. The recycling mechanism 1-7 includes a second storage rack 1-71 positioned above the conveyor rail 1-2 and at recycling position 1-2z. The second storage rack 1-71 extends perpendicular to the conveyor rail 1-2 and has a one-way limiting device 1-72 below it. The one-way limiting device 1-72 allows the material tray 1-3 to enter the second storage rack 1-71 from below, but the one-way limiting device 1-72... The device can limit the movement of the tray 1-3 entering the second storage rack 1-71. The one-way limiting device 1-72 includes a mounting block 1-721, a locking tongue 1-722, and a limiting part 1-723. The mounting block 1-721 has a mounting hole 1-721a. The locking tongue 1-722 is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole 1-721a. At least a portion of the locking tongue 1-722 is located within the second storage rack 1-71. The limiting part 1-723 is located below the locking tongue 1-722 and on the rotation path of the locking tongue 1-722, and is used to abut against the locking tongue 1-722 for limiting movement. The recycling mechanism 1-7 is provided with a second lifting part, which lifts the tray 1-3 on the conveyor belt 1-22 into the second storage rack 1-71, thereby realizing the recycling of the tray 1-3.

[0060] To facilitate the feeding of reed switches, this reed switch sensor production equipment 10000 also includes a reed switch feeding device 2-1000. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figures 7 to 10In the production of reed switch sensors, the reed switch is a crucial component. It requires initial material handling before assembling the reed switch and coil. Material handling refers to placing the reed switch in its designated position for subsequent assembly. This process can be achieved using a robotic arm or automated material handling system to ensure accurate placement and efficient production. However, given the fragile and easily broken nature of glass reed switches, automated material handling and robotic arm grippers (1-43) can easily lead to breakage, increasing the product defect rate.

[0061] The technical solution of this invention proposes a reed switch feeding device 2-1000, including a flexible vibration mechanism 2-2, a vision inspection device 2-3, and a multi-axis robot. The flexible vibration mechanism 2-2 includes a vibration base 2-21 and a flexible vibration disk 2-22 disposed on the vibration base 2-21. During the feeding process, the reed switches are first placed in the flexible vibration disk 2-22 manually or automatically. The flexible vibration disk 2-22, through high-frequency vibration generated by a voice coil motor, causes multiple reed switches to continuously move and roll on the flexible material disk surface. The reed switches are gradually arranged in a certain direction, thus neatly arranging them. The multi-axis robot uses the sampling mechanism 2-42 at its moving end to generate vacuum negative pressure to pick up the reed switches, thereby transferring the reed switches on the flexible vibrating plate 2-22 one by one to the next assembly process. Due to its softness, the flexible vibrating plate 2-22 makes it less likely for the reed switches to break during vibration. The vacuum negative pressure also provides a gentler gripping method, avoiding physical damage or deformation to the reed switches, thereby reducing the product defect rate.

[0062] To improve the flexibility of the second multi-axis robot 2-4, the sampling mechanism 2-42 includes a second rotary seat 3-5, and the body of the second multi-axis robot 2-4 is provided with a first rotating shaft 2-41. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 7 The first rotating shaft 2-41 is rotatably mounted on the body of the second multi-axis robot 2-4, and the second rotating seat 3-5 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 2-41, allowing it to rotate in unison with the first rotating shaft 2-41. This enables the vacuum nozzle 2-425 to cover a larger sampling area, improving the overall flexibility of the device. To achieve the suction of the reed switch and thus realize non-destructive transfer, the sampling mechanism 2-42 also includes a vacuum generator 2-424. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 7A vacuum generator 2-424 is located on the second rotating seat 3-5 and connected to the vacuum nozzle 2-425. A pump inside the vacuum generator 2-424 extracts air from the vacuum nozzle 2-425. The vacuum nozzle 2-425 is mounted on the drive end of the sampling cylinder 2-422 via a movable plate 2-423, creating a localized vacuum environment. Subsequently, when the vacuum nozzle 2-425 approaches the reed switch, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the vacuum nozzle 2-425 causes the atmospheric pressure to push the reed switch towards the vacuum nozzle 2-425 and firmly adsorb it. Then, the vacuum nozzle 2-425 carries the adsorbed reed switch to a designated position (i.e., the position in the next assembly process), and then releases the vacuum, causing the reed switch to detach from the vacuum nozzle 2-425, completing the loading process. This method not only gently grips and transports fragile or irregularly shaped reed switches but also offers simple operation and fast response, making it suitable for the precise loading needs of automated production lines.

[0063] To improve the feeding efficiency of the equipment, the sampling mechanism 2-42 also includes multiple sampling cylinders 2-422. Each sampling cylinder 2-422 is equipped with a vacuum nozzle 2-425, which allows the equipment to simultaneously adsorb multiple reed switches and feed materials at the same time, greatly improving the feeding efficiency of the equipment.

[0064] To pre-store the reed switches to be fed, the reed switch feeding device 2-1000 is equipped with a feeding box 2-5. For details, please refer to further information. Figure 7 The feeding box 2-5 is located on the workbench 101 and on one side of the flexible vibrating plate 2-22. The feeding box 2-5 has a feeding port and a discharging port. The feeding port faces upward and the discharging port faces the vibrating plate. Before feeding the reed switches, several reed switches can be stored in the feeding box 2-5 manually or automatically. The reed switches enter the flexible vibrating plate 2-22 from the discharging port to carry out the next feeding operation.

[0065] To facilitate the gripping operation of the second multi-axis robot 2-4, the reed switch feeding device 2-1000 also includes a vision inspection device 2-3. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 7 and Figure 8The visual inspection device 2-3 includes a support 2-31 and a visual camera 2-32. The support 2-31 includes a vertical column 2-311 and a mounting base 2-3123-1 located at the end of the column 2-311 away from the worktable 101. The visual camera 2-32 is mounted on the mounting base 2-3123-1. The visual camera 2-32 can visually inspect the reed switch on the flexible vibrating plate 2-22 to determine the position of the reed switch. The signal is then fed back to the second multi-axis robot 2-4, thereby controlling the sampling mechanism 2-42 on the second multi-axis robot 2-4 to move directly above the reed switch, thereby achieving suction. To enable fine-tuning of the vision camera 2-32 and make it suitable for visual inspection of reed switches of different sizes, a first slider 2-313 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 2-3123-1. The vision camera 2-32 is mounted on this first slider 2-313 and can slide vertically. The focus can be adjusted by changing the distance between the vision camera 2-32 and the worktable 101. To reduce interference from ambient light on visual inspection, a light-shielding plate 2-314 is provided on one side of the bracket 2-31. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 8 The light shield 2-314 can reduce the interference of ambient light on the vision camera 2-32, thereby improving the recognition accuracy of the vision camera 2-32.

[0066] In the technical solution of this invention, before bending the pins of the reed switch, the reed switch and coil need to be assembled, that is, the reed switch is inserted into the inner hole of the coil. This process usually requires ensuring a tight connection between the reed switch and the coil. The entire assembly process requires extremely high precision and stability to avoid damaging the reed switch or affecting the performance of the coil. The assembly device 3-1000 includes a fixed base, a clamp 3-2, and a pushing mechanism 3-3. The clamp 3-2 is disposed on the fixed base and forms a contour groove 3-21 for fixing the coil. The internal shape of the contour groove 3-21 is adapted to the outer shape of the coil. One end of the contour groove 3-21 is provided with a guide channel 3-22 for pre-placing the reed switch. The pushing mechanism 3-3 includes a first driving member 3-31 and a push rod 3-32 disposed at the driving end of the first driving member 3-31. Part of the structure of the push rod 3-32 is slidably disposed in the guide channel 3-22 and can extend along the guide channel 3-22. When assembling the coil and reed switch, the coil is fixed in the contour groove 3-21, with the axis of the coil coinciding with the axis of the guide channel 3-22. The reed switch is then placed in the guide channel 3-22, with one end of the reed switch abutting against the push rod 3-32. The first driving component 3-31 drives the push rod 3-32 to push the reed switch toward one end of the coil until the reed switch is inserted into the center hole of the coil, thus completing the assembly. Using this assembly device 3-1000 to assemble the reed switch and coil can ensure that the assembly accuracy is higher than that of manual insertion and assembly, and can also greatly improve production efficiency.

[0067] The combination of a reed switch and a coil creates an electromagnetic sensor or switch. This combination utilizes the magnetic field generated by the coil to control the opening or closing of the internal contacts of the reed switch. When the coil is energized, the generated magnetic field attracts or repels the magnetized contacts inside the reed switch, achieving contactless signal transmission or control. This structure features high reliability, fast response, and long lifespan, and is widely used in various electronic devices such as automated control systems, safety monitoring, position detection, and proximity sensors to achieve remote control, status monitoring, and automated operation.

[0068] In the technical solution of this invention, to keep the coil fixed during assembly and thus improve assembly accuracy, a notch is provided on one side of the contour groove 3-21, and a clamping mechanism 3-4 is provided at the opposite position of the notch. Specifically, please refer to the figure further. The clamping mechanism 3-4 includes a fifth driving member 3-41 and a clamping plate 3-42 disposed at the driving end of the fifth driving member 3-41. The movement direction of the fifth driving member 3-41 is towards the notch, and the clamping plate 3-42 is slidably disposed in the notch. When clamping and fixing the coil, the fifth driving member 3-41 drives the clamping plate 3-42 to enter the contour groove 3-21 from the notch and abut against the outer peripheral wall of the coil, thereby achieving clamping and fixing. This ensures that the coil remains stable during assembly and prevents it from shifting or rotating under the contact action of the reed switch, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of assembly. At the same time, the clamping force of the clamping plate 3-42 can be adjusted by the fifth driving member 3-41 according to the material and thickness of the coil to avoid damage to the coil. In addition, the fifth driving component 3-41 is preferably a cylinder. The cylinder-driven automated clamping system can respond quickly, improve assembly efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and help achieve efficient operation of the automated production line.

[0069] Furthermore, to reduce clamping damage, the clamping plate 3-42 is provided with two clamping blocks 3-43 facing the contour groove 3-21. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 11 and Figure 13 Two clamping blocks 3-43 are respectively set at both ends of the coil, and an arc-shaped groove 3-431 is provided at one end facing away from the clamping plate 3-42. The arc-shaped groove 3-431 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the coil. The clamping force is transmitted to the clamping block 3-43 by the clamping plate 3-42 to clamp the coil, which can reduce the contact area during clamping, thereby reducing clamping damage. The contact achieved by the arc-shaped groove 3-431 adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the coil can also avoid clamping damage.

[0070] To improve the assembly efficiency of the equipment, the fixture 3-2 has multiple evenly spaced contour grooves 3-21, each contour groove 3-21 corresponding to a guide channel 3-22. Correspondingly, the push plate 3-33 is provided with multiple push rods 3-32, the arrangement direction of the multiple push rods 3-32 is consistent with the contour grooves 3-21, and the multiple push rods 3-32 are in a consistent motion state. When the fifth driving member 3-41 drives the push plate 3-33 to approach the fixture 3-2, the multiple push rods 3-32 are inserted one by one into different guide channels 3-22 to realize the assembly of multiple coils and reed switches at one time, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency and thus improving the production efficiency.

[0071] To accommodate the clamping requirements of different coils in multiple contoured slots 3-21, the clamping mechanism 3-4 is equipped with several clamping plates 3-42. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 11 Each clamping plate 3-42 corresponds to a contoured groove 3-21 and is arranged at even intervals on the driving end of the fifth driving member 3-41, ensuring that multiple coils can be firmly clamped.

[0072] Furthermore, to enhance the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment, the assembly unit 3-1000 also integrates a second rotating base 3-5. For example... Figure 11 As shown, one end of the second rotary seat 3-5 is equipped with a second rotating shaft 3-51, which is driven by a motor inside the second rotary seat 3-5 (not shown in the figure). The second rotary seat 3-5 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 101, and the driving action of the motor enables the fixed base connected to the second rotary seat 3-5 to rotate. This design allows the direction of the guide channel 3-22 to be adjusted as needed, thereby significantly improving the operational flexibility of the equipment.

[0073] After bending, the finished product needs to be unloaded. To achieve automated unloading, the reed switch sensor production equipment 10000 also includes an unloading device 6-1000. For details, please refer to further information. Figure 1 The unloading device 6-1000 includes a two-axis moving frame 6-1 and an unloading mechanical claw 6-2. The two-axis moving frame 6-1 is located on the mounting surface 102 and on one side of the bending device 4-1000. The unloading mechanical claw 6-2 is located on the two-axis moving frame 6-1. The unloading mechanical claw 6-2 grabs the product and moves it to the unloading fixture through the two-axis moving frame 6-1, thereby realizing automated unloading.
