[0042] The components of this embodiment will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] like Figure 4As shown, the lifting loading hopper mechanism 2 may include a loading hopper lifting electric cylinder 21, a loading hopper lifting pallet 22, and a loading basket 23. The loading hopper lifting electric cylinder 21 is connected to the loading hopper lifting pallet 22 and can drive it to move up and down. The loading basket 23 is placed on the loading hopper lifting pallet 22. The loading basket 23 may be square-shaped with openings at the front and back. The interior of the loading basket 23 can hold several loading trays 24 layered from top to bottom.

[0044] When it is necessary to pick up or put down feeding trays of different heights, the height of the feeding basket 23 can be adjusted by the electric cylinder 21 for lifting the feeding hopper.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the loading tray pick-up and place mechanism 3 may include a loading tray pick-up and place bracket 31, a loading tray pick-up and place linear traverse module 32, a loading tray pick-up and place pallet 33, a loading tray positioning block 34, a loading tray pressing block 35, and a pressing block driving cylinder 36. The loading tray pick-up and place linear traverse module 32 is mounted on the loading tray pick-up and place bracket 31 along the Y-axis direction. The loading tray pick-up and place linear traverse module 32 is connected to the loading tray pick-up and place pallet 33 and can drive it to move along the Y-axis direction. The loading tray positioning block 34 is mounted on one top end of the loading tray pick-up and place pallet 33. The pressing block driving cylinder 36 is mounted on the other top end of the loading tray pick-up and place pallet 33. The pressing block driving cylinder 36 is connected to the loading tray pressing block 35 and can drive it to move along the Y-axis direction.
[0046] When the loading tray needs to be removed, the loading tray picking and placing linear transverse module 32 can move the loading tray picking and placing plate 33 to the bottom of the corresponding loading tray, the loading tray positioning block 34 can be inserted into the bottom slot of the loading tray, and the pressing block drive cylinder 36 can drive the loading tray pressing block 35 to press the loading tray. Then, under the drive of the loading tray picking and placing linear transverse module 32, the loading tray in the loading basket 23 is taken out.
[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the terminal picking and traversing mechanism 4 may include a terminal picking linear traversing module 41, a terminal picking traversing plate 42, a terminal picking lifting cylinder 43, and a terminal picking suction cup 44. The terminal picking linear traversing module 41 is mounted on the frame 1 via a terminal picking bracket 45. The terminal picking linear traversing module 41 is connected to the terminal picking traversing plate 42 and can drive it to move along the X-axis. The terminal picking lifting cylinder 43 is mounted on the terminal picking traversing plate 42 and is connected to the terminal picking suction cup 44 and can drive it to move up and down.
[0048] After the loading tray is removed, the terminal picking suction cup 44, driven by the terminal picking linear transverse module 41, can pick up and transfer the terminals on the loading tray to the terminal positioning and shaping transfer mechanism 5.
[0049] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the terminal positioning, shaping, and transferring mechanism 5 may include a terminal transfer linear module 51, a positioning and shaping bracket 52, a positioning and shaping seat 53, a four-claw finger cylinder 54, an L-shaped connecting block 55, a position correction push block 56, a terminal positioning seat 57, a spring 58, a positioning seat pressing cylinder 59, and a pressing drive block 510. The terminal transfer linear module 51 is drivenly connected to the positioning and shaping bracket 52 and drives it to move along the Y-axis. The positioning and shaping seat 53 is installed on the top of the positioning and shaping bracket 52. The four-claw finger cylinder 54 is installed on the positioning and shaping bracket 52 and located below the positioning and shaping seat 53. The four claws of the four-claw finger cylinder 54 are drivenly connected to the position correction push block 56 through the L-shaped connecting block 55. The position correction push block 56 is arranged around the top of the positioning and shaping seat 53. The four-claw finger cylinder 54 can drive the four position correction push blocks 56 to move closer to each other towards the top center of the positioning and shaping seat 53. The terminal positioning base 57 can be installed vertically inside the center of the positioning and shaping base 53, and the top of the terminal positioning base 57 is provided with a terminal positioning protrusion 571 that can extend out of the top of the positioning and shaping base 53. The spring 58 is installed at the bottom of the terminal positioning base 57. The side of the terminal positioning base 57 is provided with an inverted right-angled trapezoidal oblique guide hole 572. The positioning base pressing cylinder 59 is installed on the extension plate on one side of the positioning and shaping base 53. The positioning base pressing cylinder 59 is connected to the pressing drive block 510 and can drive it to move horizontally. The head end of the pressing drive block 510 can pass through the side through hole of the positioning and shaping base 53 and be inserted into the oblique guide hole 572 of the terminal positioning base 57, thereby pressing down the terminal positioning base 57. The shape of the head end of the pressing drive block 510 matches the shape of the oblique guide hole 572. The bottom of the head end of the pressing drive block 510 is provided with an oblique surface that can cooperate with the oblique guide hole.
[0050] Before the terminal position is corrected, the pressure drive block 510 keeps pressing down on the terminal positioning seat 57, so that the terminal positioning protrusion 571 on the top of the positioning and shaping seat 53 will retract to the bottom of the top of the positioning and shaping seat 53 and will not hinder the movement of the terminal during the correction process.
[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the upper pressing and shaping mechanism 6 may include an upper pressing and shaping cylinder 61 and an upper pressing and shaping block 62. The upper pressing and shaping cylinder 61 is connected to the upper pressing and shaping block 62 and can drive them to move up and down.
[0052] When the terminal picking and traversing mechanism 4 places the terminal at the top center of the positioning and shaping seat 53, the four-jaw finger cylinder 54 drives the four position correction push blocks 56 to move closer to each other towards the top center of the positioning and shaping seat 53. The four position correction push blocks 56 push the four sides of the terminal respectively, thereby correcting the position of the terminal on the positioning and shaping seat 53 and centering it. Then, the positioning seat pressing cylinder 59 drives the pressing drive block 510 to be pulled out, releasing the pressing of the pressing terminal positioning seat 57. The pressing terminal positioning seat 57 moves upward under the elastic action of the spring. The terminal positioning protrusion 571 on the top of the pressing terminal positioning seat 57 can be inserted into the slots on both sides of the terminal to position the terminal. Then, the four-jaw finger cylinder 54 drives the four position correction push blocks 56 to retract outward. Finally, the pressing shaping cylinder 61 drives the pressing shaping block 62 to move downward. Through the cooperation of the pressing shaping block 62 and the positioning and shaping seat 53, the terminal is shaped and the shape of the terminal is corrected.

The first loading and unloading linear traverse module 71 is connected to one or two loading and unloading lifting modules 72 and drives them to move along the X-axis. The loading and unloading lifting module 72 is connected to the second loading and unloading linear traverse module 73 and drives them to move up and down.

The second loading and unloading linear traverse module 73 can drive the loading and unloading suction cup 75 to move along the X-axis.
[0054] After the terminal positioning, shaping, and transferring mechanism 5 positions the terminal, the loading / unloading suction cup 75, driven by the first loading / unloading linear traverse module 71 and the second loading / unloading linear traverse module 73, can pick up the positioned terminal and transfer it into the powder forming press. The positioned terminal facilitates the loading / unloading robot mechanism 7 of the press for loading operations. After the powder forming press presses the inductor into shape, the loading / unloading robot mechanism 7 can remove the inductor and transfer it to the unloading rotary pusher mechanism 8.
[0055] like Figure 12As shown, the material feeding rotary pusher mechanism 8 may include a material feeding rotary pusher bracket 81, a material feeding rotary cylinder 82, a material feeding rotary support 83, a material feeding pusher cylinder 84, and a material feeding pusher block 85.

The material feeding rotary cylinder 82 is connected to the material feeding rotary support 83 and can drive it to rotate back and forth 90 degrees. The head end of the material feeding rotary support 83 is provided with an inductive limiting groove 831. The material feeding pusher cylinder 84 is installed on the material feeding rotary support 83. The material feeding pusher cylinder 84 is connected to the material feeding pusher block 85, which is movably installed in the inductive limiting groove 831. The material feeding pusher cylinder 84 can drive the material feeding pusher block 85 to move horizontally along the length direction of the material feeding rotary support 83.
[0056] After the press loading and unloading robot mechanism 7 places the inductor into the inductor limiting groove 831, the unloading rotary cylinder 82 drives the inductor to rotate 90 degrees to change direction. In this way, the inductor limiting groove 831 can connect with the feed port of the unloading conveying mechanism 9. Then, the unloading pusher cylinder 84 can drive the unloading pusher block 85 to push the inductor into the unloading conveying mechanism 9.

[0058] When the inductor is delivered to the discharge position of the feeding conveyor belt 91, the blocking block 92 will block the inductor. Then the inductor pushing cylinder 93 will drive the inductor pushing block 94 to move, pushing the inductor to one side and aligning it with the baffle on the top side of the feeding conveyor belt 91 for position correction. This makes it easier for the feeding tray robot arm mechanism 10 to accurately pick up the inductor.
[0059] like Figure 14As shown, the unloading and unloading manipulator mechanism 10 may include an unloading and unloading linear transverse module 101, an unloading and unloading transverse plate 102, an unloading and unloading lifting cylinder 103, and an unloading and unloading suction cup 104.

The bracket 121 is slidably connected, and the unloading hopper lifting module 122 can drive the unloading hopper lifting seat 123 to move up and down. The unloading hopper lifting electric cylinder 124 is installed on the unloading hopper lifting seat 123. The unloading hopper lifting electric cylinder 124 is connected to the unloading hopper lifting plate 125 and can drive it to move up and down. The unloading basket 126 is placed on the unloading hopper lifting plate 125. The unloading basket 126 can be square. The inside of the unloading basket 126 can be layered from top to bottom to place several unloading trays 128. The unloading trays 128 are provided with several evenly distributed inductor receiving slots for placing inductors.
[0062] When it is necessary to pick up or put down material trays of different heights, the height of the material lifting basket 126 can be adjusted by the electric cylinder 124 for lifting the material hopper.

The unloading tray pick-up and place linear traverse module 112 is connected to the clamp cylinder mounting base 113 and can drive it to move along the Y-axis direction. The unloading tray clamp cylinder 114 is mounted on the clamp cylinder mounting base 113. The unloading tray swing bracket 115 is mounted above the unloading tray pick-up and place linear traverse module 112.
[0064] When it is necessary to remove the feeding tray, the feeding tray picking and placing linear transverse module 112 can drive the feeding tray clamp cylinder 114 to move in and out of the feeding basket 126, thereby clamping the feeding tray onto the feeding tray swing bracket 115, or putting the feeding tray back into the feeding basket 126.

The bottom of the dust blower 135 can be connected to various common vacuuming equipment (vacuum equipment) through a pipe.
[0068] After the press loading / unloading robot mechanism 7 removes the inductor from the powder molding press, it first transfers it to the deburring brush 132. The brush motor 133 drives the deburring brush 132 to rotate, thereby removing the burrs from the surface of the inductor. Then, the inductor is transferred to the top inlet of the dust blower 135, where air is blown through the air outlet 1351 and drawn in from the bottom of the dust blower 135, thus completing the dust removal operation. Subsequently, the press loading / unloading robot mechanism 7 places the inductor onto the unloading rotary pusher mechanism 8.
[0069] In summary, the present invention has a reasonable structural layout, which can complete automated operations such as hopper-type feeding of inductor terminals, automatic shaping, automatic transportation and handling, automatic feeding of presses, automatic unloading of inductor products in presses, and automatic tray placement of inductor products. It has a high degree of automation, stable operation, and greatly improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.
