[0028] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Reference Figure 1A coil finishing machine includes: a machine base 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a coil sorting mechanism 300, and a glue dispensing mechanism 600. The conveying mechanism 200 is disposed on the machine base 100 and is used to move the material relative to the machine base 100. The conveying mechanism 200 can move the material to the coil sorting mechanism 300, which includes a straightening component 350 and a bending component 330. The straightening component 350 is used to straighten the threads of the material to a more straight shape, and the bending component 330 is used to bend the threads of the material relative to the material. The conveying mechanism 200 can also move the material to the glue dispensing mechanism 600, which applies glue to the material and sets it in shape. When the conveying mechanism 200 moves the material relative to the machine base 100, it can first move the material to the coil sorting mechanism 300, where the coil sorting mechanism 300 performs the thread sorting operation. During this process, the straightening component straightens the material's leads to a straight state, while the bending component 330 bends the straight leads, thus shaping them into a predetermined form. Afterward, the conveying mechanism 200 moves the material to the dispensing mechanism 600, where adhesive is applied to the material, thus setting it in place. The wire organizing mechanism 300 straightens the material's leads into a straight state bent at predetermined positions, and the dispensing mechanism 600 sets the material and its leads in place. Thus, the material's leads can be smoothly organized and fixed into a predetermined shape, making it convenient to retrieve the leads during subsequent electrical connection operations, thereby facilitating the production and processing of coil components and inductor products.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The thread handling mechanism 300 includes a thread handling base 310, on which a fixing seat 320 for fixing materials is provided. The fixing seat 320 can cooperate with the thread handling base 310 to fix the materials. The straightening component 350 and the bending component 330 are located beside the thread handling base 310 and can move relative to the thread handling base 310. After the materials are conveyed to the thread handling base 310, the thread handling base 310 will cooperate with the fixing seat 320 to clamp and position the materials, so that the straightening component 350 and the bending component 330 can process the threads of the materials more stably and accurately, and can effectively avoid the materials from shaking or shifting during the thread handling process, thereby ensuring that the threads of the materials can be smoothly handled.

[0031] It is conceivable that the straightening component 350 and the bending component 330 can be directly mounted on the cable management base 310, or mounted on the machine 100 and extended to the cable management base 310. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0032] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The straightening assembly 350 includes a three-axis displacement platform 351 and a straightening lever 352. The three-axis displacement platform 351 is connected to the straightening lever 352 and can move it relative to the cable holder 310. The straightening lever 352 can push the wire leads on the cable holder 310 and straighten them in conjunction with the cable holder 310. The three-axis displacement platform 351 can drive the straightening lever 352 to move in multiple directions, so that the straightening lever 352 can move smoothly to the cable holder 310. Then, the three-axis displacement platform 351 drives the straightening lever 352 to move again, so that the wire leads of the material can be straightened through the straightening lever 352, thereby making the wire leads of the material in a straight state, so as to facilitate subsequent bending and electrical connection operations of the wire leads.

[0033] It is foreseeable that the straightening component 350 can also be composed of other parts, such as directly squeezing the threads of the material through pressure blocks to achieve a straightening effect. The specific implementation method is not unique and can be adjusted according to actual needs; therefore, no restrictions are imposed here.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 At least one of the cable management base 310 and the fixing base 320 is provided with a passageway groove 315. The straightening lever 352 can pass through the passageway groove 315 and push the thread of the material. The straightening lever 352 can cooperate with the groove wall of the passageway groove 315 to push and straighten the thread of the material. The passageway groove 315 can effectively provide positioning points and shaping range for the thread of the material. After the straightening lever 352 pushes the thread of the material into the passageway groove 315, the thread can be limited and shaped by the groove wall of the passageway groove 315, thereby effectively achieving the straightening effect of the thread of the material.

[0035] Specifically, both the cable management base 310 and the fixing base 320 are provided with passage grooves 315. The passage groove 315 of the cable management base 310 is used to accommodate the material wires, and the passage groove 315 on the fixing base 320 is used for the straightening scissors 352 to pass through, so that the straightening scissors 352 can push the material wires.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3The bending assembly 330 includes a rotary drive device 333 and a wire clamping cylinder 335. The rotary drive device 333 is connected to the wire clamping cylinder 335 and can drive the wire clamping cylinder 335 to rotate around the wire guide seat 310. The wire clamping cylinder 335 can clamp the wire ends of the material and drive it to move. After the rotary drive device 333 is started, it will drive the wire clamping cylinder 335 to move to the wire ends of the material so that the wire clamping cylinder 335 can clamp the wire ends of the material. Then, the rotary drive device 333 can drive the wire ends of the material to rotate around the wire guide seat 310 through the wire clamping cylinder 335, thereby smoothly and effectively achieving the purpose of bending the wire ends of the material.

[0037] Specifically, the rotary drive device 333 includes a telescopic cylinder 331 and a gear rack pair 332. The telescopic cylinder 331 is connected to a transverse drive device 337 through the gear rack pair 332. The transverse drive device 337 can swing around the gear rack pair 332 as the rotation center. The clamping cylinder 335 is connected to the end of the transverse drive device 337 away from the gear rack pair 332.

[0038] Furthermore, the transverse drive device 337 includes a sliding track 336, a gear rack pair 332 and a wire clamping cylinder 335 located at both ends of the sliding track 336, with the wire clamping cylinder 335 movably mounted on the sliding track 336.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The cable tray 310 is equipped with a positioning detection probe 370, which can detect whether the cable clamping cylinder 335 is in position relative to the passageway 315, thereby ensuring that the cable clamping cylinder 335 can rotate after clamping the cable of the material.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 The cable holder 310 is equipped with a hook 360. The cable clamping cylinder 335 can drive the cable lead of the material to rotate and move to the hook 360. The hook 360 is used to abut and position the cable lead of the material. The hook 360 can provide a fixing effect for the bent cable lead, thereby ensuring that the cable lead of the material can continue to remain in its bent state, thus avoiding the problem of the cable lead resetting due to its own elasticity or external accidental contact during subsequent processing of the material.

[0041] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5A positioning fork 380 is provided between the cable tray 310 and the fixed base 320. The positioning fork 380 is connected to a drive cylinder 390, and the positioning fork 380 can move relative to the cable tray 310. The positioning fork 380 has a first positioning part 383 and a second positioning part 385. When the positioning fork 380 moves, the first positioning part 383 and the second positioning part 385 can push the material from two intersecting directions. After the drive cylinder 390 is started, it will drive the positioning fork 380 to move relative to the cable tray 310. During the movement of the positioning fork 380, both the first positioning part 383 and the second positioning part 385 will move relative to the material. When the material deviates from the predetermined position in a certain direction on the plane, at least one of the first positioning part 383 and the second positioning part 385 will push the material in that direction, thereby ensuring that the material can be accurately positioned in the predetermined position, so as to facilitate the accurate straightening and bending of the material's threads.

[0042] Specifically, the first positioning part 383 extends toward the length direction of the cable management seat 310, the second positioning part 385 extends toward the width direction of the cable management seat 310, and the driving direction of the drive cylinder 390 is inclined relative to the length direction and width direction of the cable management seat 310.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6 The dispensing mechanism 600 includes a dispensing syringe 610 mounted on the machine base 100. The conveying mechanism 200 can move the material to the dispensing syringe 610, which can apply glue to the material. After the material is conveyed to the dispensing syringe 610, the dispensing syringe 610 can apply glue to the material, allowing the material and its threads to cure through the glue, thereby effectively achieving the effect of shaping the material.

[0044] It is foreseeable that after the dispensing syringe 610 dispenses the material, the material can be further cured by methods such as heat drying. The specific implementation method is not unique and can be adjusted according to actual needs; therefore, no restrictions are imposed here.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6The dispensing mechanism 600 includes a positioning tray 620. The machine base 100 is equipped with a linear driver 623 and a rotary driver 627, which are connected sequentially to the positioning tray 620. The dispensing syringe 610 is connected to a displacement drive device 615 and can move closer to or further away from the positioning tray 620. When dispensing material, it is necessary to dispense glue to multiple locations on the material to ensure that each part of the material can be successfully shaped. The linear driver 623 and the rotary driver 627 can drive the material to move and rotate relative to the dispensing syringe 610 through the positioning tray 620, so that the dispensing syringe 610 can smoothly dispense glue to different parts of the material from various directions, thereby ensuring that the material can be successfully shaped.

[0046] Specifically, the linear actuator 623 can be a lead screw and guide rail, the rotary actuator 627 can be a motor, and the displacement drive device 615 can be a cylinder. Of course, the specific implementation method for selecting drive components is not unique, but can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0047] Furthermore, a positioning block 630 is provided above the positioning tray 620, which can be raised and lowered. The positioning block 630 can press the material firmly when it is being dispensed, thereby ensuring that the material can be dispensed stably.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 200 includes a robotic arm mounted on the machine base 100. The robotic arm is connected to a negative pressure suction cup and can move materials by means of the negative pressure suction cup. When the robotic arm moves materials by means of the negative pressure suction cup, it can not only smoothly achieve the purpose of moving materials, but also avoid the problem of material damage caused by physical compression, thereby effectively improving the stability of material conveying.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
