Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical devices, and in particular to an automatic flange winding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A flange is a type of capacitive element, such as Figure 1 As shown, a flange 10 includes an upper flange section 101 and a lower flange section 102. Both the upper and lower flange sections have two spiral grooves, namely a first spiral groove 103 and a second spiral groove 106. A stop 104 is provided at the connection point of the two spiral grooves. The upper part of the upper flange section and the lower part of the lower flange section each have two terminal openings 105. Wires need to be wound into the spiral grooves. However, the existing winding process generally involves winding one section of the spiral groove, then manually turning the wire back from the stop and winding it into the other spiral groove. The terminal also needs to be inserted into the corresponding terminal opening. The same applies to the other section. Currently, the above process has a low degree of automation, low efficiency, high labor costs, and generally poor winding quality, with some wires exposed. Summary of the Invention

The processes of terminal feeding, terminal cutting, terminal insertion and flange winding can all be fully automated. Therefore, it can realize automatic continuous winding of flanges with two types of spiral grooves, with a high degree of automation and high efficiency.

[0014] The tooling rotation drive unit can drive the extension column of the connecting seat to rotate.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping seat and a clamping disc, wherein the upper part of the clamping disc is rotatably and detachably connected to the clamping seat;

[0016] The clamping plate is a round cover that matches the shape of the top of the flange.

[0018] Furthermore, the conductor structure includes multiple conductor wheels; the guide wheels include a guide wheel with its axis parallel to the Y-axis and a guide wheel with its axis parallel to the Z-axis;

[0022] The present invention also provides a winding method for the aforementioned automatic flange winding machine, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step 1, Feeding: The strip containing terminals is fed through the terminal feeding device and then cut into individual terminals by the terminal cutting device;

[0024] Place the flange to be wound onto the fixture, the fixture lifting drive unit drives the fixture to rise into place, and then the clamping mechanism moves into place to clamp the flange.

[0025] Pass the wire through the conductor structure and out of the winding nozzle;

[0026] Step 2: The winding mechanism moves to feed the wire into one of the terminal ports of the flange.

[0029] Step 5: The clamping mechanism retracts, the tooling rises to its position, and the conveying device moves the wound flange onto the buffer platform.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0031] The present invention features a reasonable structural design, enabling full automation of processes such as terminal feeding, terminal cutting, terminal insertion, and flange winding. Specifically, the terminals are fed by a terminal feeding device, cut into individual terminals by a terminal cutting device, inserted into corresponding terminal openings by a first and second terminal insertion device, and cut by a wire cutting mechanism. The flange, placed on the fixture, can rotate in both directions and move up and down. The flange is pressed onto the fixture by a clamping mechanism, and the wire is wound into the two spiral grooves of the flange by the winding mechanism. Therefore, the winding machine of the present invention can achieve automatic continuous winding of flanges with two spiral grooves, with a high degree of automation and high efficiency.

[0032] This invention winds wire into one spiral groove of a flange by rotating the tool forward and lowering the winding nozzle, then reverses the direction of the wire by passing a stop, and then winds wire into another spiral groove by rotating the tool backward and raising the winding nozzle. Therefore, the automatic flange winding machine of this invention has a reasonable and ingenious structural design, and can automatically realize the continuous winding of flanges with different spiral grooves. Moreover, the winding process is stable and highly automated.

[0033] Furthermore, in the tooling of the present invention, the bottom of the positioning column is detachably connected to the tooling base, and the upper part of the clamping plate is rotatably and detachably connected to the clamping base.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the workbench 1 is also equipped with a terminal feeding device 7 and a terminal cutting device 8, with the terminal feeding device located upstream of the terminal cutting device. The terminals are located on the material strip and are fed by the terminal feeding device (which can be an automatic feeding rack, as this is existing technology and will not be described in detail), then enter the terminal cutting device to be cut into individual terminals. They are then removed by the terminal insertion device. There are many types of terminal cutting devices; any device that can feed the material strip and cut individual terminals from it is acceptable.

[0075] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 9, the buffer platform is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 25 for placing flanges; the positioning posts can be detachably connected to the buffer platform in order to match flanges of different specifications.

[0076] In this embodiment, there are two positioning posts on the buffer platform. The two wound flanges are placed on the positioning posts one after another by the handling device. The robot arm in the subsequent process needs to remove the two wound flanges at once, mainly to match the production cycle of the subsequent process.

These modules drive the winding frame to translate along the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively. The X, Y, and Z axis terminal block translation drive modules can be conventional linear drive modules, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] This embodiment also provides a winding method for the aforementioned automatic flange winding machine, comprising the following steps:

[0083] Step 1, Feeding: The strip containing terminals is fed through the terminal feeding device and then cut into individual terminals by the terminal cutting device;

[0084] Place the flange to be wound onto the fixture, the fixture lifting drive unit drives the fixture to rise into place, and then the clamping mechanism moves into place to clamp the flange.

[0085] Pass the wire through the conductor structure and out of the winding nozzle;

[0086] Step 2: The winding mechanism moves to feed the wire into one of the terminal ports of the flange. The cylinder gripper of the first terminal insertion device moves to the terminal cutting device to remove the terminal and moves it to the tooling to insert the terminal into the terminal port.

[0087] Step 3: The tooling rotation drive unit drives the tooling to rotate forward, the winding nozzle moves to wind the wire into a spiral groove of the flange and changes direction after passing through the flange's stop. The tooling rotation drive unit drives the tooling to rotate in reverse, the winding nozzle winds the wire into another spiral groove, and finally inserts the wire into another terminal.

[0088] Step 4: The cylinder gripper of the second terminal insertion device moves to the terminal cutting device to remove the terminal and moves it to the tooling. The terminal is then inserted into the other terminal opening in Step 3, and the wire cutting mechanism cuts the wire.

[0089] Step 5: The clamping mechanism retracts, the tooling rises to its position, and the conveying device moves the wound flange onto the buffer platform.

[0090] The specific winding process is as follows: Winding the upper section of the flange: The wire comes out from the wire feeding mechanism, passes through the guide wheel, and then comes out from the winding nozzle. The wire clamping structure is used to clamp the wire, preventing the wire inside the winding nozzle from retracting. The flange with the wire is placed on the positioning post of the fixture. Then, the clamping drive cylinder drives the clamping seat 311 and the clamping plate 312 to move along the X-axis directly above the flange. Afterward, the fixture lifting drive unit drives the fixture into position. At this time, the clamping plate will press and position the flange to prevent it from shifting or swaying during the fixture's rotation. Then, the winding nozzle will move to the starting end of the first spiral groove and insert the wire into the terminal opening there (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The first terminal insertion device inserts the terminal into the terminal opening, and the wire clamping structure loosens. Then, the tooling rotation drive unit 21 drives the tooling to rotate forward, and the winding nozzle descends along the Z-axis, winding the wire into the first spiral groove until it reaches the end, then around the stop and back. Then, the tooling rotation drive unit 21 drives the tooling to rotate in the reverse direction, and the winding nozzle rises along the Z-axis, winding the wire into the second spiral groove. The wire is wound until it reaches the terminal opening at the end of the second spiral groove (e.g., the terminal opening at the end of the second spiral groove). Figure 1 When the wire is inserted into the terminal hole below the winding nozzle, the second terminal insertion device is used to insert the terminal into the terminal hole and cut the wire. Before cutting the wire, the clamping structure clamps the wire to prevent the wire from retracting from the winding nozzle.

[0091] Similarly, the lower section of the flange can also be wrapped with wire.

[0092] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure made using the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
