Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an improvement in the implantation design of inductor terminals, specifically a terminal implantation machine. Background Technology

[0002] Inductors are typically manufactured by manually placing terminals in a magnetic box and extruding them. Because the terminals are small, manual placement makes it difficult to ensure accurate positioning and the depth of the terminals within the magnetic box.

[0003] To address this issue, although there are currently methods that use cylinders to connect clamps to feed terminals, where the clamps grab the terminals and the cylinders lift and lower them to place them into the magnetic box, this method only completes the placement of the terminals and makes it difficult to achieve precise control over the position of the terminals within the magnetic box.

[0004] Therefore, in summary, how to ensure the accuracy of terminal installation while achieving automated installation is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0005] Patent content

[0006] In response to the problems mentioned in the technical background, the purpose of this patent is to provide a terminal implantation machine that can effectively ensure the stability and accuracy of the terminal implantation process.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A terminal implantation machine includes a lower frame and a press station located next to the lower frame. The lower frame is provided with a vibratory feeder assembly and a three-axis motion assembly. The movable end of the three-axis motion assembly is equipped with a material picking unit. The material picking unit can move through the three-axis motion assembly to the feeding point of the vibratory feeder assembly and the forming point of the press station. The material picking unit includes a motor, a lead screw and a lead screw nut, a lead screw nut connector, and a pneumatic gripper. The output end of the motor is linked with the lead screw of the lead screw and the lead screw nut. The nut of the lead screw and the lead screw nut is connected to the lead screw nut connector. The lead screw nut connector is connected to the pneumatic gripper.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the motor is linked to the lead screw and lead screw nut via a gear belt.

[0009] Preferably, a secondary positioning component is also included. The secondary positioning component includes a vertical fixing frame and a horizontal fixing frame. The horizontal fixing frame slides vertically with the vertical fixing frame. The positioning module is installed on the horizontal fixing frame and rotates with the horizontal fixing frame. The positioning module is provided with a positioning groove, and a photoelectric sensor is provided in the positioning groove.

[0010] Preferably, there are two material handling units mounted on a fixed frame, which is connected to the movable end of the three-axis motion assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the device also includes a fine-tuning positioning plate and a fine-tuning bolt. The fine-tuning positioning plate is provided with an arc-shaped slot. The fine-tuning positioning plate is installed above the lead screw nut connector. The fine-tuning bolt passes through the arc-shaped slot and is screwed to the pneumatic gripper.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the terminal implantation machine of the present invention are as follows: the secondary positioning component enables accurate positioning of the terminals on the vibratory feeder assembly after vibration feeding; the three-axis motion component drives the material handling unit to stably clamp the terminals in the secondary positioning component before sending them into the press station for inductor production; the transmission cooperation of the lead screw and lead screw nut enables accurate height adjustment of the electric gripper; and the cooperation of the fine-tuning positioning plate and fine-tuning bolt allows for further precise fine-tuning of the pneumatic gripper, thereby maintaining a more accurate position of the terminals in the press station, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of terminal implantation.

[0020] In a specific implementation of the terminal implantation machine of the present invention, the lower frame 1 is installed on the ground by a counterweight unit 4, and the working surface of the lower frame 1 is kept horizontal and located next to the press station 8. The terminals to be loaded are vibrated and fed into the vibratory feeder assembly 2. The vibratory feeder assembly 2 vibrates and feeds the terminals into the secondary positioning assembly 9. By adjusting the height of the horizontal fixing frame 92 on the vertical fixing frame 91, the height of the positioning groove 94 of the positioning module 93 is made consistent with the height of the discharge port of the vibratory feeder assembly 2. After passing through the vibratory feeder assembly 2, the terminals enter the positioning groove 94. When the photoelectric sensor 95 detects that there is a terminal to be loaded in the positioning groove 94, the X-axis motion slide 31, the Y-axis motion slide 32 and the Z-axis motion slide 33 move in coordination, so that the fixed frame 7 installed on the Z-axis motion slide 33 is positioned above the positioning groove 94. Then, the three-axis motion assembly 3 is driven to make the pneumatic gripper 54 of the picking unit 5 enter the positioning groove 94 in the closed state. The pneumatic gripper 54 opens to open the terminal and remove it from the positioning groove 94. Then, the three-axis motion assembly 3 drives the picking unit 5 to send it to the press station 8.

[0021] When the terminal is in the desired position, the motor 51 drives the gear belt 57, which in turn drives the lead screw and lead screw nut 52 to rotate. The motor 51 is a servo motor, and the rotation of the lead screw can be precisely controlled by the gear belt 57, thereby accurately adjusting the vertical movement height of the lead screw nut. The lead screw nut is connected to the lead screw nut connector 53, so that the pneumatic gripper 54 installed on the lead screw nut connector 53 can move up and down, sending the clamped terminal into the extrusion molding cavity while maintaining precise and controllable position and height.

[0022] If a deviation is found between the terminal placement in the cavity and the designed position, since the fine adjustment bolt 11 is installed in the arc-shaped slot 12, the pneumatic gripper 54 can be finely adjusted in terms of up and down and rotation angle relative to the fine adjustment positioning plate 10 by loosening the fine adjustment bolt 11. This allows for further accurate adjustment of the position of the pneumatic gripper 54, thereby achieving stable and precise terminal insertion.
