Currently, magnetic core manufacturing urgently needs a high-speed, high-precision automated testing device to achieve stable testing accuracy and high efficiency, meeting the high-end market's requirements for product yield and stability. Traditional manual placement and pairing of products has low accuracy, and misalignment significantly impacts inductance values. Currently, automotive-grade products have stringent requirements for inductance values, and the existing manual sampling method can no longer meet market demands. There is an urgent need to develop a fully automated testing device. Once a defective magnetic core is packaged on a circuit board, the entire circuit system will be scrapped.

Specifically, a second lifting motor 27 is installed on the second vertical support base 23. The second lifting motor 27 drives the second lifting synchronous pulley 28 to rotate. A second lifting synchronous belt is wound between the two second lifting synchronous pulleys 28, thereby driving the second lifting guide plate 72 connected to the second lifting synchronous belt to rise and fall.

[0048] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 Both the magnetic core A transport turntable 5 and the magnetic core B transport turntable 3 include a turntable base. A rotating mechanism is mounted on the turntable base, and a turntable base plate is mounted above the rotating mechanism. Four turntable transport modules are evenly distributed on the turntable base plate. Specifically, the magnetic core A transport turntable 5 includes a first turntable base 51. A first servo motor 52 and a first reducer 53 are sequentially connected on the first turntable base 51. The flange of the first reducer 53 is connected to the first turntable base plate 54. Four turntable transport modules 30 are evenly distributed on the first turntable base plate 54, i.e., spaced at 90° intervals. The magnetic core B transport turntable 3 includes a second turntable base 31. A second servo motor 32 and a second reducer 33 are sequentially connected on the second turntable base 31. The flange of the second reducer 33 is connected to the second turntable base plate 34.

[0049] See Figure 11The turntable conveying module 30 described in this embodiment includes a conveying base 301 fixed on a turntable base. A longitudinally movable lifting block 302 is mounted on the conveying base 301. The end of the lifting block 302 is provided with a product suction block 303 capable of attracting magnetic cores. The product suction block 303 on the magnetic core A conveying turntable 5 is positioned downwards to attract magnetic core A from the rotating adsorption platform 65, while the product suction block 303 on the magnetic core B conveying turntable 3 is positioned upwards to attract magnetic core B from the rotating adsorption seat 25. Specifically, the lifting block 302 is connected to the conveying base 301 via a slider and is provided with a lifting guide post 304.

[0050] See Figure 12 In this embodiment, the back support mechanism 4 includes a top column 41 that can push the lifting block 302 on the magnetic core B transport turntable 3 upward. The top column 41 is mounted on a lifting module 42 that drives its lifting and lowering. A force sensor 43 is installed between the lifting module 42 and the top column 41. Specifically, the lifting module 42 is controlled by a servo motor.

[0051] See Figure 13 In this embodiment, the detection pressure head 9 is positioned above the magnetic core A transport turntable 5, capable of pushing the lifting block 302 on the turntable 5 downwards. The detection pressure head 9 is connected to a cylinder 91 that drives its lifting and lowering. The cylinder 91 is slidably connected to the lead screw lifting module 93 via a cylinder base 92. Specifically, the lead screw lifting module 93 is controlled by a servo motor.

[0052] In this embodiment, the magnetic core B feeding and conveying mechanism 1, magnetic core B straightening and conveying platform 2, magnetic core B conveying turntable 3, back support mechanism 4, magnetic core A conveying turntable 5, magnetic core A straightening and conveying platform 6, magnetic core A feeding and conveying mechanism 7, magnetic core B and magnetic core A unloading arms 8, and detection pressure head 9 are all mounted on the platform of the detection equipment through corresponding brackets.

[0053] See Figures 14-16Magnetic core B is manually loaded onto a tray and placed into the magnetic core B loading conveyor mechanism 1. The magnetic core B straightening and conveying platform 2 picks up the core from the conveyor belt of the magnetic core B loading conveyor mechanism 1. The magnetic core B alignment camera 10 identifies the position, and the core is straightened and transferred to the magnetic core B conveying turntable 3. The product suction block 303 of the turntable conveying module 30 on the magnetic core B conveying turntable 3 picks up the magnetic core B. The magnetic core B conveying turntable 3 rotates, rotating the turntable conveying module 30 containing the magnetic core B to the inductance testing station. Simultaneously, magnetic core A is manually loaded onto a tray and placed into the magnetic core A loading conveyor mechanism 7. The magnetic core A transfer arm 66 picks up the core from the conveyor belt of the magnetic core A loading conveyor mechanism 7 and places it onto the magnetic core A straightening and conveying platform. 6. After the position of magnetic core A is identified by the alignment camera 11, it is corrected and transmitted to the magnetic core A transport turntable 5. The product suction block 303 of the turntable transport module 30 on the magnetic core A transport turntable 5 picks up magnetic core A. The magnetic core A transport turntable 5 rotates to rotate the turntable transport module 30 with magnetic core A in it to the inductance detection station. The back support mechanism 4 rises to lift the turntable transport module 30 on the magnetic core B transport turntable 3. Magnetic core B passes through the detection circuit board 12. At the same time, the detection pressure head 9 descends and presses down on the turntable transport module 30 on the magnetic core A transport turntable 5. Magnetic core A passes through the detection circuit board 12 and is pressed firmly onto the magnetic core B product. The inductance value is detected, determined, and recorded. The back support mechanism 4 descends and the detection pressure head 9 rises. Magnetic core B and magnetic core A rotate to the unloading position. The unloading arm 8 picks up the materials. If the product is OK, the unloading arm 8 moves to place magnetic core A and magnetic core B in the OK area. For NG products, the unloading arm 8 places magnetic core A and magnetic core B into the NG area.

[0054] in Figure 16 This is just a simplified illustration; in reality, the pressure head 9 does not contact the magnetic core A76, and the top post 41 does not contact the magnetic core B77.

[0055] This invention involves feeding magnetic cores B and A, aligning and conveying them, pairing and detecting them, and then sorting and unloading them. After pairing magnetic cores A and B, their inductance values ​​are detected. A new method for pairing and detecting magnetic cores A and B is used, which, compared to the original method of detecting A with a reference sheet, cannot accurately reflect the inductance value after A and B are matched. This significantly improves the overall product yield.

[0056] This invention transforms manual inspection into automated equipment inspection. The equipment, through an automatic transmission mechanism and an automatic inspection system, meets the automated inspection requirements of high-performance products, significantly improving inspection efficiency. The automatic transmission and inspection system are seamlessly integrated, significantly increasing inspection speed and accuracy. This allows magnetic core A to accurately pass through the circuit board slot and be bonded to magnetic core B during the automatic process. The inspection efficiency is less than 3 seconds per unit, a 5-fold improvement compared to manual inspection. To achieve efficient and rapid inspection, a cyclic inspection mechanism with four rotating heads on two upper and lower turntables is designed, further enhancing inspection efficiency. A synchronous cyclic feeding mechanism for magnetic cores B and A on the upper and lower turntables is used, simultaneously improving inspection efficiency. A 1-to-1 method is used for the combined inspection of ferrite core products. Traditional manual placement can cause unstable inspection positions, leading to inaccurate data. This invention achieves automatic position correction and matching inspection. The design utilizes high-precision visual alignment correction technology to control the docking accuracy of magnetic cores A and B, improving the accuracy of inductance detection. The high-precision visual alignment method provides high positional accuracy for inspection, reducing the impact of positional deviation on inductance values ​​and improving inspection accuracy. This invention ensures precise alignment of magnetic core A and magnetic core B through an automatic correction transmission system. Compared to the original method of detecting A and a reference plate, the latter method cannot accurately reflect the inductance value after A and B are matched. By setting up upper and lower detection heads and placing a detection circuit board in the middle, and achieving simultaneous flow of the upper and lower products, the new method of detecting the pairing of magnetic core A and magnetic core B greatly improves the accuracy of matching magnetic core products. The combination of a pressurized cylinder and a pressure sensor achieves pressure control within ±1N, improving pressure stability and simultaneously increasing detection accuracy.
