Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inductor molding fixtures, and particularly to an adjustable inductor molding fixture and molding method. Background Technology

[0002] An inductor, also known as a choke, reactor, or inductor coil, is a two-terminal circuit element that converts electrical energy into magnetic energy and stores it. It generates an electromotive force in response to changes in the current passing through it, thereby resisting changes in the current.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting components are movably connected to the inner cavities of the two movable slots on both sides near the tooling body, and the linkage plates are movably connected to the inner cavities of the other two movable slots on both sides near the tooling body. Both sides of the limiting components and one side of the linkage plates are sleeved on the outer wall of the first guide rod, and the other side of the linkage plate is threaded to the lead screw. Dustproof elastic bands are symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner cavity of the movable slots, and the other end of the dustproof elastic bands is connected to the linkage plate and the limiting components.

[0009] Preferably, the pin slot communicates with the inner cavity of the inductor coil slot, and a heat dissipation mesh is installed at one end of the support assembly.

[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is installed in the support assembly, the heat dissipation mesh is used to dissipate heat from the drive motor, one end of the drive motor is connected to a gear through a second rotating shaft, the top and bottom of the gear are meshed with racks, a limit block is installed on the outer wall of the rack, one end of the rack is connected to an arc-shaped adjusting plate, and the rack moves laterally in the inner cavity of the support assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the tooling body has symmetrically provided limiting grooves on both sides, a second guide rod is installed in the inner cavity of the limiting groove, a guide block is installed on the side of the translation cylinder, the bottom of the guide block is movably connected in the inner cavity of the limiting groove and sleeved on the outer wall of the second guide rod, and the top of the lifting cylinder is installed on the outer wall of the translation cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the clamping assembly is provided with a clearance groove, the translation cylinder is connected to the clamping assembly, an electric telescopic rod is installed in the inner cavity of the clamping assembly, the electric telescopic rod is connected to the slider, the slider is trapezoidal, and fixed shafts are symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the clamping assembly. A contact block is installed at one end of the outer wall of the fixed shaft, and a claw is installed at the other end of the outer wall of the fixed shaft.

[0013] Preferably, rubber pads and springs are symmetrically installed on opposite sides of the other two claws, and arc-shaped surfaces are opened on opposite sides of the contact blocks on adjacent sides, with the springs located in the inner cavity of the clamping assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the slider has two sides in contact with the arc-shaped surface, and the claws are located on both sides of the pin slot.

[0015] A forming method for an adjustable inductor forming fixture includes the following steps: S1: The inductor coil to be formed is sleeved on the outer wall of the support assembly. At this time, the inductor coil is located in the inner cavity of the inductor coil slot. The arc-shaped adjustment plate is adjusted according to the diameter of the inductor coil. The drive motor is started to drive the gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the rack, thereby driving the arc-shaped adjustment plate to move. At this time, the arc-shaped adjustment plate can fit against both sides of the inner cavity of the inductor coil. Based on this, the inductor coil is initially positioned. S2: Place the two electrodes of the inductor coil in the inner cavity of the two pin slots, start the servo motor, drive the lead screw to rotate, so that one side of the linkage plate can be threaded with the lead screw. At this time, the linkage plate can unfold from the inner cavity of the limit component and move upward. As the linkage plate moves upward, it drives the limit component to move upward until the limit component and the linkage plate block the inductor coil at the inductor coil slot. S3: Start the lifting cylinder, and use the translation cylinder to adjust the height of the clamping assembly to match the electrode. Start the translation cylinder to move the clamping assembly, and at the same time start the electric telescopic rod to move the slider. After the slider contacts the contact block through the arc surface, it will drive the contact block and the claw to rotate around the fixed axis. At this time, the electrode can be clamped at both ends by the rubber pad. When the translation cylinder continues to move the clamping assembly, the electrode can be bent through the outer wall of the clamping assembly until it is formed. S4: After molding is completed, reset the clamping assembly and the electric telescopic rod. At this time, the spring can simultaneously reset the contact block and the claw.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable inductor forming fixture and forming method, which has the following beneficial effects: The adjustable inductor forming fixture and forming method uses a movable linkage plate, which can drive the limiting component to move after it moves. During the subsequent forming of the coil, the external part can be limited to prevent it from moving during forming. The dustproof elastic band can block the movable slot at all times when the linkage plate and the limiting component move, which can effectively prevent foreign objects from entering the inner cavity of the movable slot. This adjustable inductor forming fixture and method, through the set support components, can install the inductor coil. With the help of the adjustable arc-shaped adjustment plate, it can position the coil according to its size. During the forming process, it can limit the coil and improve the forming accuracy. The adjustable inductor forming fixture and forming method can drive the clamping assembly to move up and down and translate by activating the set lifting cylinder and guide block. The lifting can adjust the jaws according to the position of the coil electrode, and the translation can drive the clamping assembly to bend the electrode. This adjustable inductor forming fixture and method uses a movable slider. After the slider contacts the arc-shaped surface of the contact block, it drives the jaws to rotate, allowing the jaws to clamp the electrode through the rubber pad. With the help of the movable clamping assembly, bending can be performed. The clamped electrode can avoid positional displacement during bending and forming, and it can be adapted to electrodes of various sizes. Through the spring, when the slider returns to its original position, it can drive the jaws to return to their original position. Attached Figure Description
