Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of inductor processing, and particularly to a mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing processing. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of inductor components, hot pressing is a key process. Its basic process usually includes: placing a magnetic core with a pre-wound coil into the cavity of a special mold, precisely filling the cavity with magnetic alloy powder, and then sending the mold into a hot press for heating and pressurization to solidify the powder and combine it with the core to form a dense whole.

[0003] In the related art, a typical production mode is a mixed configuration of automated process equipment + semi-manual logistics connection. Specifically, the production line is equipped with an independent automatic powder filling machine, an inspection station with a vision system, a hot press, and a simple belt conveyor. These devices each complete specific process tasks. After the mold is filled with powder and inspected, if it is judged to be qualified, the operator needs to remove it from the conveyor line beside the inspection station, manually carry and position it on the loading and unloading platform of the hot press; if the inspection is unqualified, it needs to be manually removed and transferred to a special repair station for powder cleaning, core removal, etc. Similarly, the high-temperature mold taken out from the hot press also needs to be manually transferred to the cooling area, and after cooling, it is manually transferred to the demolding station or returned to the starting point.

[0004] However, the existing inductive hot pressing processing mode still has the following deficiencies. First, manually carrying the mold is not only slow and labor-intensive, difficult to match the rhythm of the high-speed hot press, but also the accidental nature of manual operation easily causes problems such as knocking, misalignment, etc., affecting production stability; second, the processing flow of unqualified products is fragmented and cannot achieve online instant and automated processing. When it is detected that the powder filling is unqualified, the mold needs to be removed from the main production line for offline manual processing, interrupting the continuous production process and increasing the management complexity of the mold; finally, after hot pressing, cooling, and blanking, the mold cannot automatically and orderly return to the production starting point to complete the closed-loop cycle of materials; at the same time, the scheduling and connection of the mold between each node lack unified intelligent control, making it difficult to achieve dynamic optimization of production resources. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of this application provide a mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing processing, which solves the problems of over-reliance on manual intervention in the transfer process, fragmentation of the processing flow of unqualified products, and non-closed process.

[0006] The embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the embodiments of this application provide a mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing processing, which includes a frame and a hot press arranged on one side of the frame. A transfer mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the frame. The transfer mechanism includes The main channel is located on the upper surface of the frame and extends along the length of the frame. The main channel is provided with a feeding detection position for filling the mold with powder and detecting whether the powder filling of the mold is qualified, a pressing position for pressing the powder, and a material removal position for easy material removal. The diversion channel is also set on the upper surface of the frame. The diversion channel extends along the width of the frame. The diversion channel is used to clean the internal powder of the mold that is not filled with qualified powder and transport it back to the feeding detection position. One end of the diversion channel is connected to the feeding detection position. The mold return channel is used to transport molds that have undergone hot pressing and unqualified molds after cleaning. One end of the mold return channel is connected to the material pick-up position. The mold supply channel is connected at one end to the mold return channel and at the other end to the pressing position. The mold supply channel is also connected to the unloading position. The mold supply channel is used to transport the hot-pressed mold to the unloading position or the cleaned mold to the pressing position. A transfer assembly for transferring molds between a main runner, branch runners, a mold return runner, and a mold supply runner; The frame is equipped with a robot arm that can pick up materials from the material pick-up position and the hot press and place the materials into the mold return channel. The frame is also equipped with a control panel that coordinates the robot arm, each flow channel and transfer component.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the main channel serves as the main line, sequentially executing powder filling, inspection, pressing, and material discharge preparation. If a defective mold is detected by visual inspection, it is immediately diverted out of the main line through the diversion channel for dedicated cleaning and recycling. This avoids the waste of raw materials and energy caused by defective products flowing into the hot pressing process and ensures that the main production flow is not interrupted. Molds that have completed hot pressing or cleaning are collected through the mold return channel and redistributed to the pressing or unloading position by the mold supply channel, realizing the automatic circulation of molds. This solves the comprehensive technical problems in the existing technology, such as slow production cycle, delayed handling of defective products, and non-closed-loop logistics path caused by the isolation of equipment in each process and reliance on manual connection. It achieves full automation, intelligence, and continuous production from powder filling, sorting, hot pressing to return unloading, thereby improving the overall equipment utilization rate and the smoothness of the production process.

[0008] In one optional implementation, the flow assembly includes a main flow converter on the main flow channel, a branch flow converter on the branch flow channel, a return flow converter on the mold return flow channel, and a belt conveyor on the mold supply channel. The main flow converter, branch flow converter, and return flow converter all include a base, which is fixedly connected to the frame. A flow drive component is fixed on the base, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the flow drive component. The push plate is slidably connected to the frame, and a positioning protrusion is provided at one end of the push plate. A pull hole matching the positioning protrusion is correspondingly opened on the edge of the mold.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a specialized transfer device is used, consisting of a sliding base, a driving component, and a push plate with positioning protrusions. The cooperation between the positioning protrusions and the pre-set pull holes on the edge of the mold allows the push plate to achieve precise positioning and reliable engagement when it contacts the mold. Subsequently, the driving component applies force directly to the mold through the push plate, driving it to move smoothly along the flow channel. The belt conveyor is suitable for scenarios such as mold supply channels where positioning accuracy requirements are relatively low but continuous conveying is required. This achieves the effect of reducing system complexity and cost while ensuring transfer accuracy, and improving equipment operation stability and maintenance convenience.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, the feeding detection station is equipped with a powder filler for filling powder into the mold, and the feeding detection station is also equipped with an infrared vision detector that can transmit detection data to the control panel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the powder filler first performs an automatic powder filling operation, quantitatively and evenly filling the mold cavity with powder. Subsequently, the infrared vision detector immediately scans the mold after powder filling, acquiring image information on the flatness of the powder surface, the filling height, or the presence of defects, and transmits this data to the control panel in real time for analysis and judgment. This provides a direct and accurate basis for the control panel's decision-making, achieving the effect of accurately detecting whether the mold is qualified after powder filling and ensuring the product qualification rate.

[0012] In one alternative implementation, a vertically movable first pressure head is provided above the pressure position, and the working surface of the first pressure head is provided with a plurality of bosses that match the openings on the mold surface.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mold with qualified powder is transferred to the pressing position, the first pressing head moves vertically downward under drive. The bosses on its working surface, corresponding one-to-one with the openings on the mold surface, can accurately insert into the corresponding holes in the mold, thereby performing preliminary compaction and shaping of the powder in the cavity. This cooperation between the bosses and the openings serves as a guide and limiter; the pre-compression ensures the powder is initially dense and maintains its shape, which is beneficial for more uniform pressure transmission and higher product density consistency during the subsequent final molding process in the hot press. It also potentially reduces powder flying, thus improving the initial stability of the powder before hot pressing.

[0014] In one optional implementation, a material discharge assembly is provided on the flow channel. The material discharge assembly includes a clamping and flipping frame, a clamping drive unit disposed inside the frame, a collection box disposed below the clamping and flipping frame, and a vertically movable second pressure head. The clamping drive unit can drive the clamping and flipping frame to clamp the mold and flip it. The working surface of the second pressure head is provided with a plurality of needles that match the openings on the surface of the mold. The needles are used to remove the excess material in the mold.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping drive unit drives the clamping and flipping frame to reliably clamp the mold, and then flips it so that the mold opening faces downwards, pouring the main powder and core material inside into the collection box below, completing the initial emptying. The mold is then conveyed to the second pressure head, which, with a needle matching the mold opening, presses down. The needle penetrates deep into the cavity, physically pushing out the residual powder material adhering to the cavity wall or corners, achieving thorough and automated cleaning of the material inside the defective mold, thus improving efficiency.

[0016] In one alternative implementation, a plurality of heat exchange fans are provided at the end of the mold return channel away from the material pick-up position, and the heat exchange fans are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mold return channel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the mold, after being removed from the hot press and placed on the mold return channel, carries a large amount of residual heat due to its recent high-temperature and high-pressure process. When several heat exchange fans fixed at the bottom of the return channel are activated, they generate a forced airflow from bottom to top, continuously blowing on the bottom and sides of the mold. Through convection heat transfer, this accelerates the dissipation of heat from the mold and the molded workpiece inside to the surrounding environment, achieving efficient cooling and ensuring smooth and safe thermal management in the production process.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the mold supply channel is provided with a plurality of cylinder stops along its length, and the stops can limit and block the mold after being raised by the cylinder.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple cylinder levers arranged along the mold supply channel can be independently controlled to rise or fall under the command of the control panel. When a lever rises, it forms a physical barrier, preventing subsequent molds from moving forward; when passage is required, the lever falls, allowing the mold to pass. This achieves precise control and queue management of the mold's position on the supply channel, ensuring the smooth and orderly operation of complex automated production lines.

[0020] In one alternative implementation, a transfer rack is provided on the frame, which can drive the mold to be transferred between the mold return channel, the mold supply channel and the unloading position.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the material transfer rack can move to the end of the mold return channel, pick up the cooled mold, and then transfer it laterally and place it precisely at the beginning of the mold supply channel or directly to a specific position of the unloading position. This achieves the effect of ensuring that the mold can be reliably and efficiently transferred from one functional area to the next, and ensuring the physical connectivity and smooth operation of the entire closed-loop flow channel.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By forming an integrated closed-loop flow network through the main flow channel, branch flow channel, mold return flow channel and mold supply channel, and relying on flow components, robotic arms and control panel to achieve collaborative operation, the entire process of mold from powder filling, inspection, sorting, hot pressing, cooling to unloading is automated and continuous. This systematically solves the problems of low efficiency and discontinuous production caused by isolated processes and reliance on manual connection in existing production lines, and significantly improves equipment utilization and production cycle time. 2. By integrating powder filling and visual inspection functions at the feeding inspection station and setting up automated unloading and cleaning components in the diversion channel, it is possible to identify unqualified molds online in real time and automatically complete sorting and material recycling, effectively preventing defective products from flowing into the subsequent hot pressing process, ensuring product yield at the source, and realizing rapid online disposal of abnormal products and raw material recycling, thereby improving production quality and resource utilization efficiency. 3. By setting up mold return channels with cooling function, mold supply channels with cycle control function, and material transfer racks connecting various areas, the system ensures safe cooling of high-temperature molds, orderly management of mold queues, and reliable transfer between key nodes, thereby ensuring smooth, stable and safe logistics within the entire closed-loop system, significantly enhancing the continuity, controllability and overall operational reliability of the production process.

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after the connection. It should be understood that when component A is fixedly connected to component C via component B, changes in the relative positional relationship due to deformation of components A, B, and C are permissible. The integrated structure obtained by the two components through a one-piece molding process means that during the formation of one of the two components, that component is connected to the other component, without requiring further processing (such as bonding, welding, snap-fit ​​connections, or screw connections) to connect the two components.

[0030] The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., are only for reference to the direction of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0031] The term "multiple" refers to at least two. The term "more than" includes the stated number. The term "and / or" describes a relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0032] This application discloses a mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing includes a frame as the main support structure. The frame is welded from structural steel and has a flat upper surface for mounting subsequent functional modules.

[0034] On one side of the frame, there is a separate hot press 1. Hot press 1 is the core equipment for performing the final heating and pressing molding process, and it has an openable heating plate and pressure system. Hot press 1 is an existing design and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] A complete transfer mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the frame. The core of this mechanism consists of four conveyor paths with different functions. The first path is the main conveyor 2, which is directly fixed to the upper surface of the frame and extends horizontally along the length of the frame. Main conveyor 2 is a straight conveyor channel composed of guide rails and a bearing surface. Along this main conveyor 2, three key stations are sequentially set from one end to the other: the material loading and inspection station, the material pressing station, and the material unloading station. The mold enters from one end of the main conveyor 2 and passes through these three stations in sequence.

[0036] The second path is the branch channel 3, which is also fixed to the upper surface of the frame, but its extension direction is perpendicular to the main channel 2, that is, along the width direction of the frame. Branch channel 3 is also a conveyor channel with independent guiding and driving capabilities. One end of it is physically connected to the loading detection position on the main channel 2, so that the mold can be selectively pushed from the main channel 2 to the branch channel 3, or pulled back from the branch channel 3 to the main channel 2 at this node.

[0037] The third path is the mold return channel 4, which transports two types of molds: molds that have completed the hot pressing process and defective molds that have been cleaned on the branch channel 3. One end of the mold return channel 4 is connected to the material pick-up position at the end of the main channel 2 to receive molds from there. The mold return channel 4 is a relatively long straight conveyor line, providing flow and buffer space for the molds.

[0038] The fourth path is the mold supply channel 5, which serves as a connection and distribution route. One end of the mold supply channel 5 connects to the end of the mold return channel 4, and the other end connects to the pressing position on the main channel 2. Additionally, a discharge position is located beside the mold supply channel 5. The mold supply channel 5 transports the hot-pressed molds from the mold return channel 4 to the discharge position for product removal; simultaneously, it also transports cleaned molds ready for reuse, or cooled empty molds, back to the pressing position on the main channel 2, thus creating a cycle.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device is equipped with a flow transfer assembly. The flow transfer assembly includes a main flow converter 6 mounted on the main flow channel 2, a branch flow converter mounted on the branch flow channel 3, and a return flow converter mounted on the mold return flow channel 4. These three flow converters have similar structures. Each flow converter includes a base 9, which is fixedly connected to the frame. A flow drive component 10, serving as a power source, is fixedly mounted on the base 9. This flow drive component 10 can be a cylinder or a servo motor.

[0040] The output end of the flow drive 10 is fixedly connected to a push plate 11. Two positioning protrusions 12 are machined on one part of the push plate 11. The positioning protrusions 12 are cylindrical. Correspondingly, pull holes that match the shape and position of these positioning protrusions 12 are machined on the edge side of the mold.

[0041] When the flow converter needs to push or pull the mold, the base 9 slides first, causing the positioning protrusion 12 on the push plate 11 to insert into the pulling hole of the mold. Then, the flow drive component 10 extends and applies force directly to the mold through the push plate 11, causing it to move precisely a certain distance along the flow channel. For the mold supply channel 5, since its conveying distance may be relatively long and the positioning accuracy requirement is relatively relaxed, a belt conveyor is used to achieve continuous conveying. The belt conveyor is an existing design and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The device also includes a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 7, fixed to one side of the frame. The movable end of the manipulator 7 is equipped with grippers. Its working range needs to cover two key points: the material handling position of the main flow channel 2 and the inlet / outlet platform of the hot press 1. The manipulator 7 can grip the prepared mold from the material handling position and transfer it to the inlet of the hot press 1; after hot pressing is completed, it removes the mold from the hot press 1 and places it at the beginning of the mold return channel 4.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The frame also includes a control panel 8, which integrates a programmable logic controller (PLC), a human-machine interface, and necessary power supplies. The control panel 8 is electrically connected via cables to the controller of the robotic arm 7, the various flow drive components 10, the motors of the belt conveyors, and all operating parts. It receives signals from various sensors and, according to preset program logic, coordinates the start, stop, sequence, and interlocking of the robotic arm 7, the flow components on each flow path, and other auxiliary equipment to achieve fully automated operation.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 At the material loading and detection station, a powder filler 16 and an infrared vision detector 17 are installed. The powder filler 16 is a powder hopper fixed on the frame and located above the main flow channel 2. A vibrating feeder is connected to the bottom of the powder hopper, and its outlet faces the mold cavity through which the powder flows below. When the mold is positioned at the material loading and detection station, the control panel 8 issues a command to discharge a fixed amount of alloy powder from the powder hopper and evenly fill each cavity of the mold.

[0045] After powder filling is completed, the infrared vision detector 17 installed above the material loading detection station begins operation. This detector includes an infrared light source and an infrared camera. The infrared light source provides uniform illumination, while the infrared camera captures images of the mold surface after powder filling. The images clearly show the surface contour, flatness, and presence of any missing powder. The infrared camera transmits the captured image information in real time to the image processing unit within the control panel 8 via a data cable. The image processing unit determines whether the powder filling height meets the standard, whether the surface is flat, and whether there are defects such as voids or accumulations.

[0046] Directly above the pressing position, a vertically movable first pressing head 18 is mounted via a bracket. The first pressing head 18 consists of a pressing head body, a pressing head drive component that drives its lifting and lowering, and a guide column. The pressing head drive component can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The pressing head drive component is fixed to a crossbeam above the frame, and its piston rod is connected downwards to the body of the first pressing head 18. The guide column ensures that the pressing head does not deflect during lifting and lowering.

[0047] The lower surface of the first pressure head 18, i.e. the working surface, is precision-machined and has several bosses fixed on it. The diameter, position, and height of these bosses are designed to precisely match the corresponding openings on the upper surface of the mold. When the mold with qualified powder filling is precisely positioned in the pressing position by the transfer component, the control panel 8 controls the action of the pressure head drive component, driving the first pressure head 18 to move vertically downward. The lower end face of the bosses begins to contact and compress the loose powder in the mold cavity, performing preliminary compaction and shaping.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3At the end of the diversion channel 3, a dedicated unloading assembly is provided. This assembly includes a clamping and tilting frame 13, a clamping drive, a collection box, and a second pressure head 14. The clamping and tilting frame 13 is a mechanical frame mechanism consisting of two opposing clamping arms. The clamping drive is installed inside the frame and connected to the clamping and tilting frame 13 via a connecting rod, controlling its clamping and releasing actions. This clamping drive can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The entire clamping and tilting frame 13 mechanism is mounted on a rotating shaft, which is driven by another rotating drive, also a pneumatic cylinder, to rotate the clamping and tilting frame 13.

[0049] Directly below the clamping and tilting frame 13, a collection box is fixedly placed to receive the poured material. Downstream of the pouring station, a vertically movable second pressure head 14 is provided. The structure and driving method of the second pressure head 14 are similar to those of the first pressure head 18, but instead of bosses, several slender needles are mounted on its working surface. The diameter and arrangement of these needles match the openings on the mold to discharge any excess material within the openings.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 Several heat exchange fans are installed at the end of the mold return channel 4 away from the material pick-up position. These heat exchange fans are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mold return channel 4 by mounting brackets. During installation, the air outlet direction of the fans is upward, directly facing the area above the return channel where the mold is expected to stay.

[0051] Along the length of the mold supply channel 5, several cylinder stop lever mechanisms 19 are installed at regular intervals. Each mechanism mainly consists of a cylinder and a stop lever connected to the top of the cylinder piston rod. The cylinder body is fixed to the side plate of the frame of the mold supply channel 5, and the piston rod is telescopic. The stop lever is a metal rod. When it is in the lowered state, its top is lower than the bearing surface of the mold supply channel 5 and does not obstruct the passage of the mold. When the cylinder receives a command from the control panel 8 and pushes the piston rod to extend, the stop lever rises from the side, and its rod body protrudes above the bearing surface, forming a physical block. When the mold moves forward driven by the belt conveyor, it will be blocked and stop when it encounters the raised stop lever. The control panel 8 can independently control the raising or lowering of each cylinder stop lever 19 according to the busy / idle status of the downstream process, production cycle requirements, or queue management needs.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A transfer rack 15 is also installed on the frame. This transfer rack 15 has a horizontal degree of freedom of movement. It includes a horizontal guide rail fixed to the frame and a slide that can move back and forth on the horizontal guide rail. The slide is driven by a servo motor or a hydraulic cylinder. The working range of the transfer rack 15 covers the end of the mold return channel 4, the beginning of the mold supply channel 5, and the unloading position.

[0053] The implementation principle of the mold transfer device for inductive hot pressing according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: An empty mold enters the starting end of the main channel 2. At the feeding detection position of the main channel 2, the powder filler 16 completes quantitative powder filling, and then the infrared vision detector 17 immediately evaluates the powder filling quality online and feeds the result back to the control panel 8. If it is determined to be qualified, the mold will continue to move forward along the main channel 2. After receiving the pre-clamping treatment of the first pressure head 18 at the pressing position, it reaches the material removal position, waiting for the robot arm 7 to grab and transfer it to the hot press 1 for final forming; if it is determined to be unqualified, the control panel 8 immediately instructs the flow divider to move, pushing the mold laterally into the flow divider 3. At the unloading position of the flow divider 3, the clamping and flipping frame 13 automatically clamps and flips it to pour out the main material, and then the second pressure head 14 uses a needle to penetrate into the cavity to remove the residue, completing the deep cleaning. After that, whether it is a qualified mold that has completed hot pressing or an unqualified mold that has been cleaned, it is collected into the mold return channel 4. The heat exchange fan on the return channel cools the high-temperature mold to a safe operating temperature. The cooled mold then returns to the mold supply channel 5, where it is distributed according to instructions: molds that have completed hot pressing are transported to the unloading position for product demolding; while the cleaned empty molds are returned to the pressing position of the main channel 2 to enter the next production cycle. Throughout the process, the cylinder stop lever 19 on the mold supply channel 5 precisely controls the mold queue, the material transfer rack 15 reliably transfers materials across areas at key nodes, and the control panel 8 acts as the central hub, scheduling the robotic arm 7, various transfer devices, and all auxiliary units to work collaboratively in real time based on sensor signals.
