Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of inductor processing, and particularly relates to an inductor forming device and an inductor forming process. Background Art

[0002] The integrated inductor is an inductor component, which includes a coil and a T-core assembled oppositely. During the processing of the integrated inductor, it is usually necessary to bend the ends of the coil multiple times so that the ends of the coil fit on the T-core.

[0003] The existing inductor forming devices are usually equipped with multiple independent bending mechanisms. When bending, the inductor needs to be sent to multiple bending mechanisms respectively to complete multiple bends of the coil ends. However, using multiple bending mechanisms to complete multiple bends of the coil ends not only has a low bending efficiency, but also has a poor cooperation degree between multiple bending mechanisms, resulting in a low bending accuracy of the coil ends. Summary of the Invention

[0004] An object of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an inductor forming device that can improve the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil.

[0005] The inductor forming device provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An inductor forming device, the inductor includes a coil and a T-core. The inductor forming device includes a carrying mechanism, a coil feeding mechanism, a T-core feeding mechanism, a bending mechanism, and a discharging mechanism. The bending mechanism includes a buckling component located above the carrying mechanism, a first bending component located below the carrying mechanism, and a second bending component located on one side in the horizontal direction of the carrying mechanism;

[0007] The buckling component includes a first moving seat arranged to be liftable, a first driving module for driving the first moving seat to lift, and multiple buckling columns arranged at intervals at the bottom of the first moving seat;

[0008] The first bending component includes a second moving seat arranged to be liftable, a second driving module for driving the second moving seat to lift, and multiple first bending columns arranged on the upper part of the second moving seat;

[0009] The second bending component includes a third moving seat arranged to be translatable along the direction of approaching or departing from the carrying mechanism, a third driving module for driving the third moving seat to translate, and multiple second bending columns arranged at intervals on the side of the third moving seat close to the carrying mechanism;

[0010] The multiple buckling columns correspond to the multiple first bending columns one by one, each corresponding buckling column and the first bending column are staggered in the horizontal direction, and a first clearance groove for the second bending column to pass through is formed between each two adjacent buckling columns.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the crimping assembly, the first bending assembly and the second bending assembly can be combined into an integral structure that cooperates with each other. The coil can achieve fast and accurate secondary bending with the cooperation of the crimping assembly, the first bending assembly and the second bending assembly, which effectively improves the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil; the relatively misplaced crimping column and the first bending column can respectively squeeze the coil end from the upper and lower sides and achieve bending of the coil in the vertical direction, which effectively improves the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil; the second bending column can squeeze the coil end during the translation process and achieve bending of the coil in the horizontal direction, which effectively improves the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil; the first yielding groove can make way for the second bending column to avoid the second bending column colliding with the crimping column during the translation process.

[0012] Preferably, two first wire grooves for accommodating the ends of the coil are formed at the upper end of the first bending column, and the two first wire grooves are symmetrically arranged with respect to the buckling column.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the two first wire grooves can respectively limit the two ends of the coil when the coil is bent, preventing the ends of the coil from deflecting when bending, thereby further improving the bending accuracy of the coil.

[0014] Preferably, the carrying mechanism includes a carrying disk rotatable around its own axial centerline direction, and a fourth driving module for driving the carrying disk to rotate. A plurality of processing positions are arranged around the circumference of the carrying disk. The coil loading mechanism, the T-core loading mechanism, the bending mechanism and the unloading mechanism are sequentially located at one of the processing positions. The inductor forming equipment also includes a jig for accommodating inductors. The jig is carried on the carrying disk and passes through the plurality of processing positions in sequence. The jig includes a jig body, a plurality of carrying grooves extending through the jig body, and a carrying block connected in the carrying groove. A slot for accommodating the coil is provided on the upper portion of the carrying block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the coil loading mechanism, the T-core loading mechanism, the bending mechanism and the unloading mechanism can be respectively arranged around the circumference of the carrier plate. During the rotation of the carrier plate, each mechanism can successively process the inductors located on the carrier plate, eliminating the need to separately set up a turnover and conveying mechanism, which greatly improves the inductor forming efficiency. At the same time, the coil loading mechanism, the T-core loading mechanism, the bending mechanism and the unloading mechanism are integrated as a whole through the rotatable carrier plate, which not only saves the usage cost but also reduces the floor area of the equipment.

[0016] Preferably, the inductor forming equipment further includes a cutting mechanism arranged at the end of the loading direction of the coil loading mechanism. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting seat, a plurality of first cutting columns arranged on the upper part of the cutting seat, a fourth moving seat arranged above the cutting seat and capable of lifting, a sixth driving module for driving the fourth moving seat to lift, and a plurality of second cutting columns arranged at the bottom of the fourth moving seat. The plurality of first cutting columns and the plurality of second cutting columns correspond one by one, and each corresponding first cutting column and second cutting column are arranged in a horizontal offset manner.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the relatively offset first cutting column and second cutting column can cooperate with each other to cut the ends of the coil, thereby preventing the subsequent bending process from being affected due to the too long ends of the coil.

[0018] Preferably, two second wire grooves for accommodating the ends of the coil are provided at the upper end of the first cutting column, and the two second wire grooves are symmetrically arranged with respect to the second cutting column.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the two second wire grooves can respectively limit the two ends of the coil during coil cutting, preventing the ends of the coil from deflecting during cutting, thereby effectively improving the cutting accuracy of the coil.

A telescopic second buffer plate is arranged at the bottom of the fourth moving seat, and a second cutting groove for the second cutting column to pass through is provided on the second buffer plate. A clamping block is further arranged at the bottom of the second buffer plate, and the clamping block is located on one side of the second cutting groove and its extending direction is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of second cutting columns.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first cutting post and the second cutting post can achieve cutting buffering through the cooperation of the first buffer plate and the second buffer plate, which can not only prevent the inductor from being damaged, but also the first buffer plate and the second buffer plate can continue to press the inductor tightly during the buffering process, so that the first cutting post and the second cutting post can cut the coil, effectively improving the cutting accuracy.

[0022] Preferably, the inductor forming equipment further comprises a pressing mechanism disposed between the bending mechanism and the unloading mechanism, the pressing mechanism comprising a pressing block which is liftable and translatable and disposed above the supporting mechanism, and a fifth driving module for driving the pressing block to lift and lower.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing mechanism can further flatten the bent coil to prevent the coil end from curling up again after bending, thereby further improving the bending accuracy of the coil.

[0024] Another object of the present application is to provide an inductor forming process.

[0025] An inductor forming process provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0027] Step 1: The coil feeding mechanism conveys the coil to the carrier mechanism, and then the T-core feeding mechanism conveys the T-core to the carrier mechanism and clamps the T-core and the coil relative to each other;

[0028] Step 2: The first moving seat drives the buckling column to descend, and the buckling column gradually presses against the T-core during the descending process;

[0029] Step 3, the second moving seat drives the first bending column to rise, and the first bending column gradually squeezes the end of the coil during the rising process, and the end of the coil gradually folds upward and fits to one side of the T-core during the squeezing process;

[0030] Step 4: The third moving seat drives the second bending column to translate toward the direction close to the coil. The second bending column gradually squeezes the end of the coil during the translation process. The end of the coil is folded away from the second bending column during the squeezing process and fits to the upper side of the T-core;

[0031] Step 5, the third movable seat is reset in a direction away from the coil, the second movable seat is lowered, the first movable seat is raised, and then the unloading mechanism outputs the formed inductor to the outside.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping assembly, the first bending assembly and the second bending assembly can be combined into an overall structure that cooperates with each other, and the coil can achieve fast and accurate secondary bending under the cooperation of the clamping assembly, the first bending assembly and the second bending assembly, effectively improving the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil.

[0055] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-6 for a more detailed description of the present invention.

[0056] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that for the orientation description, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0057] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-6As shown, an inductor forming device is shown, which is used for forming an inductor. Among them, the inductor includes a coil and a T-core. The coil has two ends. The inductor forming device includes a machine base 9, on which a loading mechanism 1 for loading the coil and the T-core, a coil loading mechanism 2 for loading the coil, a T-core loading mechanism 3 for loading the T-core, a bending mechanism 4 for secondary bending of the coil, and a blanking mechanism 5 for blanking the formed inductor are provided. The bending mechanism 4 includes a pressing component 41 located above the loading mechanism 1 for pressing the T-core, a first bending component 42 located below the loading mechanism 1 for performing a first bending on the coil end, and a second bending component 43 located on one side in the horizontal direction of the loading mechanism 1 for performing a secondary bending on the coil end.

[0058] When forming the inductor, the pressing component 41, the first bending component 42 and the second bending component 43 can be combined into an overall structure that cooperates with each other. The coil can achieve fast and accurate secondary bending under the cooperation of the pressing component 41, the first bending component 42 and the second bending component 43, effectively improving the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil.

[0059] Specifically, when forming the inductor, the coil loading mechanism 2 sends the coil to the loading mechanism 1. Subsequently, the T-core loading mechanism 3 sends the T-core to the loading mechanism 1 and inserts it into the coil. Then, the pressing component 41 descends from the upper side and presses the T-core tightly. The first bending component 42 ascends from the lower side and performs a first bending on the coil end in the vertical direction. The second bending component 43 translates from one side in the horizontal direction and performs a secondary bending on the coil end in the horizontal direction. Finally, the blanking mechanism 5 outputs the bent inductor.

[0060] In this embodiment, in combination with Figures 1-2 As shown, the loading mechanism 1 includes a horizontally arranged loading disk 11, and an installation frame 13 is arranged above the loading disk 11. The installation frame 13 is fixedly connected to the machine base 9. The pressing component 41 includes a first moving seat 411 that can be lifted and lowered and is arranged at the bottom of the installation frame 13, a first driving module 412 for driving the first moving seat 411 to lift and lower, and a plurality of pressing columns 413 that are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the first moving seat 411; the bending mechanism 4 further includes a bending seat 44 arranged on the machine base 9; the first bending component 42 includes a second moving seat 421 that can be lifted and lowered and is arranged on the bending seat 44, a second driving module 422 for driving the second moving seat 421 to lift and lower, and a plurality of first bending columns 423 arranged on the upper part of the second moving seat 421; both the first driving module 412 and the second driving module 422 are cylinders. The plurality of pressing columns 413 and the plurality of first bending columns 423 correspond one by one. Each corresponding pressing column 413 and first bending column 423 are arranged offset in the horizontal direction, and the offset direction of the two is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of pressing columns 413.

[0061] Among them, the buckling column 413 and the first bending column 423 are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the carrier plate 11, and a second clearance groove (not shown in the figure) is penetrated through the carrier plate 11. A jig 6 is mounted on the second clearance groove, and a plurality of inductors are accommodated in the jig 6. The relatively misaligned buckling column 413 and the first bending column 423 can pass through the second clearance groove from the upper and lower sides respectively and bend the inductor in the jig 6 to form, the buckling column 413 is used to resist the T-core, and the first bending column 423 is used to cooperate with the buckling column 413 and squeeze the coil upward, so that the coil end is bent upward, which can effectively improve the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil.

[0062] In this embodiment, the upper end of the first bending column 423 is provided with two first wire grooves 424 for accommodating the ends of the coil, the two first wire grooves 424 are arranged side by side and symmetrically about the buckling column 413, and the groove walls of the two first wire grooves 424 that are away from each other are inclined outward. The two first wire grooves 424 can limit the two ends of the coil respectively when the coil is bent, preventing the ends of the coil from deflecting when bent, thereby further improving the bending accuracy of the coil.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second bending assembly 43 includes a third movable seat 431 disposed on the bending seat 44 and movably moving in a direction close to or away from the carrier plate 11, a third driving module 432 for driving the third movable seat 431 to move in a translational direction, and a plurality of second bending posts 433 spaced apart and arranged on a side of the third movable seat 431 close to the carrier plate 11. The moving direction of the third movable seat 431 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of buckling posts 413. The third driving module 432 is a cylinder, and a first clearance groove 414 for the second bending post 433 to pass through is formed between each two adjacent buckling posts 413. The second bending post 433 can squeeze the coil end inward during the translation process and realize the bending of the coil end in the horizontal direction, which effectively improves the bending accuracy and bending efficiency of the coil; at the same time, the first clearance groove 414 can realize the clearance of the second bending post 433, so as to avoid the second bending post 433 from colliding with the buckling post 413 during the translation process.

[0064] In this embodiment, again combined Figure 1As shown, the carrying mechanism 1 further includes a fourth driving module 12 coaxially arranged at the bottom of the carrying disk 11 for driving the carrying disk 11 to rotate. The fourth driving module 12 is a motor. A plurality of processing positions are arranged around the circumference of the carrying disk 11 in the circumferential direction of the carrying disk 11 itself. The coil loading mechanism 2, the T-core loading mechanism 3, the bending mechanism 4, and the unloading mechanism 5 are sequentially located at one of the processing positions. The fixture 6 is carried on the carrying disk 11 and sequentially passes through a plurality of processing positions. In this way, the coil loading mechanism 2, the T-core loading mechanism 3, the bending mechanism 4, and the unloading mechanism 5 can surround the circumference of the carrying disk 11. During the rotation of the carrying disk 11, each mechanism can sequentially process the inductor located on the carrying disk 11, eliminating the need to additionally set up a turnover and conveying mechanism, greatly improving the inductor forming efficiency. At the same time, the coil loading mechanism 2, the T-core loading mechanism 3, the bending mechanism 4, and the unloading mechanism 5 are aggregated into a whole through the rotatable carrying disk 11, which not only saves the use cost but also reduces the floor area of the equipment.

[0065] Among them, in combination with Figure 6 As shown, the fixture 6 includes a fixture body 61, a plurality of carrying slots 62 penetratingly opened on the fixture body 61, and a carrying block 63 internally connected to the carrying slot 62. A card slot 64 for accommodating the coil is opened at the upper part of the carrying block 63, and four limiting blocks 65 are provided on the circumference of the card slot 64. One end of the carrying slot 62 close to the first bending post 423 is used to accommodate the two ends of the coil and allow the first bending post 423 to pass through during the first bending. One end of the carrying slot 62 far from the second bending post 433 includes two side-by-side sub-slots, and the two sub-slots are respectively used to make way for the two coil ends after the secondary bending.

[0066] In this embodiment, again in combination with Figure 1 As shown, the coil loading mechanism 2 includes a horizontally arranged first belt conveyor 21 and a first transfer assembly 22 provided at the end of the first belt conveyor 21. The first belt conveyor 21 is a prior art, and the head end in its loading direction is connected to the winding device of the coil. The first transfer assembly 22 includes a first manipulator that can be lifted and translated along the direction from the first belt conveyor 21 to the carrying disk 11, and a seventh driving module for driving the movement of the first manipulator. A plurality of suction cups are provided at the bottom of the first manipulator. The seventh driving module includes a cylinder for driving the lifting of the first manipulator and a linear motor for driving the translation of the first manipulator.

[0067] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, a cutting mechanism 7 is provided at the end of the first belt conveyor 21 in the feeding direction. The cutting mechanism 7 includes a cutting seat 71 provided on the machine base 9, a plurality of first cutting columns 72 provided on the upper part of the cutting seat 71, a fourth moving seat 73 that can be lifted and lowered above the cutting seat 71, a sixth driving module 74 for driving the fourth moving seat 73 to lift and lower, and a plurality of second cutting columns 75 provided at the bottom of the fourth moving seat 73. The fourth moving seat 73 is slidably connected to the cutting seat 71 through four guide rods on the peripheral side. The plurality of first cutting columns 72 and the plurality of second cutting columns 75 are in one-to-one correspondence. Each corresponding first cutting column 72 and second cutting column 75 are arranged offset in the horizontal direction, and the offset direction of the two is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of first cutting columns 72. The relatively offset first cutting column 72 and second cutting column 75 can cut the end heads of the coil during the process of approaching each other, thereby preventing the subsequent bending process from being affected due to the too long end heads of the coil.

[0068] Among them, two second wire grooves 76 for accommodating the end heads of the coil are opened at the upper end of the first cutting column 72. The two second wire grooves 76 are arranged side by side and symmetrically arranged with respect to the second cutting column 75. The groove walls on the mutually remote sides of the two second wire grooves 76 are inclined outward. The two second wire grooves 76 can respectively limit the two end heads of the coil during coil cutting, preventing the end heads of the coil from deflecting during cutting, thereby effectively improving the cutting accuracy of the coil.

Four springs are also provided between the second buffer plate 78 and the fourth moving seat 73. A second cutting groove 781 through which the second cutting column 75 passes is opened on the second buffer plate 78. There are a plurality of second cutting grooves 781 and they are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first cutting columns 72. A clamping block 79 is further provided at the bottom of the second buffer plate 78. The clamping block 79 is located on one side of the second cutting groove 781 and its extending direction is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of second cutting columns 75.

[0070] When the fourth moving seat 73 and the cutting seat 71 approach each other, the first cutting column 72 and the second cutting column 75 can achieve cutting buffering through the cooperation of the first buffer plate 77 and the second buffer plate 78. It can not only prevent the inductor from being damaged, but also the first buffer plate 77 and the second buffer plate 78 can continuously press against the inductor during the buffering process, so as to facilitate the first cutting column 72 and the second cutting column 75 to cut the coil, effectively improving the cutting accuracy.

[0071] In this embodiment, a material blocking mechanism 10 is also arranged between the first belt conveyor 21 and the cutting mechanism 7. The material blocking mechanism 10 includes a lifting and lowering material blocking block 101 and a tenth driving module 102 for driving the lifting and lowering of the material blocking block 101. The material blocking block 101 is used to rise and block subsequent jigs 6 after the first jig 6 enters the cutting mechanism to prevent too many jigs from entering the cutting mechanism 7 at the same time and affecting the normal operation of the cutting mechanism 7.

[0072] In this embodiment, combined again Figure 1 As shown, the T-core loading mechanism 3 includes a vibrating feed tray 31 and a second transfer assembly 32. The vibrating feed tray 31 is the prior art. The second transfer assembly 32 includes a second manipulator 321 that can be raised and lowered and translated, and an eighth drive module 322 for driving the second manipulator 321 to move.

The ninth driving module 522 includes a cylinder for driving the third manipulator 521 to rise and fall, and a linear motor for driving the third manipulator 521 to translate.

[0074] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a pressing mechanism 8 is further provided between the bending mechanism 4 and the feeding mechanism 5. The pressing mechanism 8 is used to further flatten the bent coil to prevent the coil end from curling up again after bending, thereby further improving the bending accuracy of the coil.

[0075] The pressing mechanism 8 includes a pressing block 81 which is arranged on the mounting frame 13 and can be lifted and translated, and a fifth driving module 82 for driving the pressing block 81 to be lifted and translated. The fifth driving module 82 includes a lifting cylinder and a translation cylinder.

[0076] In this embodiment, combined again Figure 1As shown, the coil feeding mechanism 2 also includes a third belt conveyor 23 arranged on the side of the first belt conveyor 21. The conveying direction of the third belt conveyor 23 is opposite to that of the first belt conveyor 21. After the inductor jig 6 is transferred to the middle mold, the first transfer component 22 transfers the unloaded jig 6 to the third belt conveyor 23, and then the third belt conveyor 23 returns the unloaded jig 6 to the coil winding mechanism again, and then the unloaded jig 6 can be loaded with the coil again and fed.

[0077] The implementation principle of the inductor forming device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the coil is accommodated in the jig 6, and then the jig 6 is transported by the coil feeding mechanism 2;

[0078] Then the jig 6 reaches the cutting mechanism 7, and the cutting mechanism 7 cuts off the excess part of the coil end;

[0079] Then the first transfer assembly 22 transfers the jig 6 to the carrier plate 11, and the carrier plate 11 rotates to allow the jig 6 to reach the processing position where the T-core loading mechanism 3 is located;

[0080] The T-core loading mechanism 3 transfers the T-core to the carrier plate 11 and assembles it relative to the coil;

[0081] Then the carrier plate 11 continues to rotate and makes the jig 6 reach the processing position where the bending mechanism 4 is located, and the pressing assembly 41, the first bending assembly 42 and the second bending assembly 43 cooperate with each other to perform a secondary bending on the coil end;

[0082] Then the carrier plate 11 continues to rotate and makes the jig 6 reach the processing position where the pressing mechanism 8 is located, and the pressing mechanism 8 further flattens the bent coil;

[0083] Then the carrier plate 11 continues to rotate and enables the jig 6 to reach the processing position where the unloading mechanism 5 is located, and the second transfer assembly 32 transfers the inductor in the jig 6 to the middle mold in sequence, and then the second belt conveyor 51 outputs the fully loaded middle mold to the outside, and the first transfer assembly 22 transfers the empty jig 6 to the third belt conveyor 23 and outputs it to the outside.
