Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic component processing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic base plate mounting device and inductor processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Power factor correction (PFC) inductors are key components in power electronic systems used to improve power factor and reduce current harmonics. They are widely used in computer power supplies, home appliances, industrial control equipment, and charging infrastructure for new energy vehicles. With increasingly stringent global energy efficiency standards and the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, the market demand for PFC inductors continues to grow, and the industry's requirements for production efficiency and product quality are constantly increasing.

[0003] In the production process of PFC inductors, semi-finished PFC inductors need to be mounted on a base plate first, and then the leads are shaped and trimmed. Common semi-finished PFC inductors have leads that are naturally tilted upon arrival, rather than vertically aligned. When mounting the base plate, operators must manually press and correct the tilted leads one by one to align them with the mounting holes on the base plate and pass them through. This operation is extremely inconvenient and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency and making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic base plate mounting device and an inductor processing equipment to solve the technical problems of the prior art, such as the laborious operation and low production efficiency of manual base plate mounting, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale mass production.

[0005] The first aspect of the present invention provides an automatic base plate mounting device, the technical solution of which is: an automatic base plate mounting device, including a base plate, a transfer mechanism for transferring semi-finished inductors, and a shaping mechanism, wherein the base plate is provided with mounting holes for the pins of the semi-finished inductors to pass through, and the shaping mechanism is located above the base plate and includes a first shaping component, a second shaping component, and a shaping guide component; The first shaping component includes two slidable and oppositely arranged striking plates along a first direction, and two first shaping driving members for driving the two striking plates to move toward each other or away from each other. The second shaping component includes a limiting seat that can slide along a first direction, two tapping blocks that can slide along a second direction and are arranged opposite each other, two second shaping driving members for driving the two tapping blocks to move toward each other or away from each other, and a third shaping driving member for driving the limiting seat to move along the first direction, wherein the limiting seat is located between the two tapping blocks. The shaping guide assembly includes a first limiting mold and a second limiting mold that can slide along a first direction and are arranged opposite to each other. The first limiting mold and the second limiting mold are respectively provided on the side facing each other to guide the limiting seat. The first limiting mold and the second limiting mold cooperate to form a guide gap for the tapping block to slide. The third shaping drive unit drives the limiting seat to pass into the first guide groove and the second guide groove on the first limiting mold and the second limiting mold. The transfer mechanism transfers the semi-finished inductor to the shaping mechanism, so that the two pins before shaping are located on both sides of the limiting seat. The first shaping drive unit drives the striking plate to move along the first direction to shape the pins from the first direction. Then, the second shaping drive unit drives the striking block to slide along the guide gap to press the pins against the two sides of the limiting seat opposite to the second direction to complete the shaping in the second direction. The transfer mechanism is also used to transfer the shaped semi-finished inductor to the base plate and make the pins pass through the mounting holes accordingly.

[0006] Optionally, the first limiting mold includes two limiting templates arranged parallel to each other along the first direction. The two limiting templates cooperate to form the first guide groove. The limiting seat has abutment grooves on both sides opposite to the second direction for abutting and cooperating with the limiting templates.

[0007] Optionally, each of the two striking blocks is provided with a sliding part, and the two sliding parts are respectively used to slide and cooperate with the first limiting mold and the second limiting mold.

[0008] Optionally, the sliding part is provided with a first inclined surface, and the second limiting mold is provided with a corresponding second inclined surface for cooperating with the first inclined surface.

[0009] Optionally, the shaping mechanism further includes a base plate bracket and a base plate groove formed on the base plate bracket. Two striking plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove relative to the first direction, and two striking blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove relative to the second direction. The first limiting mold and the second limiting mold are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove relative to the first direction and are respectively located below the two striking plates.

[0010] Optionally, each of the two striking blocks is provided with a sliding part, and the two sliding parts are respectively used to slide and cooperate with the first limiting mold and the second limiting mold.

[0011] Optionally, the automatic base plate loading device further includes a base plate feeding and conveying mechanism and an inductor conveying mechanism. The base plate feeding and conveying mechanism is used to supply the base plate and convey it to the bottom of the shaping mechanism. The inductor conveying mechanism is used to convey the semi-finished inductor so that the transfer mechanism can transfer the semi-finished inductor to the shaping mechanism.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention also provides an inductor processing apparatus, including a body and an automatic inductor mounting plate device as described above.

[0013] Optionally, the inductor processing equipment further includes a correction and trimming device, which is used to perform posture correction and fixed-length trimming on the pins of the semi-finished inductor after it has been mounted on the base plate. The correction and trimming device includes a correction mechanism and a trimming mechanism. The correction mechanism is used to correct the shape of the two pins of the semi-finished inductor after the base plate is installed, so that the part of the two pins located below the base plate opens outward. The trimming mechanism is used to cut the outwardly opened part of the pins.

[0014] Optionally, the calibration mechanism includes a calibration fixing frame, a calibration support seat fixed on the calibration fixing frame for supporting the semi-finished inductor with the base plate already installed, two calibration top wire blocks slidably disposed on the calibration fixing frame, two pull wire clips slidably disposed below the calibration support seat, a top wire cylinder for driving the calibration top wire blocks to slide, and a clip cylinder for driving the pull wire clips to move. The two calibration top wire blocks are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the calibration support seat, and the two pull wire clips are symmetrically disposed below the calibration support seat. During calibration, the top wire cylinder drives the calibration top wire block to slide so that the part of the pin located above the base plate is pressed against the side wall of the semi-finished inductor. The pull wire clamp clamps the part of the pin located below the base plate. Then, the clamp cylinder drives the pull wire clamp to move so that the part of the pin located below the base plate is opened outward.

[0015] Optionally, the trimming mechanism includes a trimming frame, a trimming support fixed on the trimming frame for carrying the semi-finished inductor with completed pin shaping, a shearing component slidably disposed on one side of the trimming support, a shearing drive cylinder for driving the shearing component to move toward or away from the trimming support, and a waste collection box disposed below the trimming support for receiving shearing waste. During trimming, the shearing component is driven by the shearing drive cylinder to move towards the trimming support seat, so that the shearing component trims the pins of the semi-finished inductor located on the trimming support seat, and the shearing waste generated during the trimming process is collected by the waste collection box.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The automatic inductor mounting device provided in this application includes a base plate, a transfer mechanism for transferring semi-finished inductors, and a shaping mechanism. During operation, a third shaping drive first drives a limiting seat to pass into the first and second guide grooves on the first and second limiting molds, achieving precise positioning of the limiting seat. Then, the transfer mechanism transfers the semi-finished inductor to the shaping mechanism. The first shaping drive then drives a striking plate to move along a first direction to shape the pins from that direction. Subsequently, a second shaping drive drives a striking block to slide along a guide gap, pressing the pins against the limiting seat on both sides opposite to the second direction. This system shaped the pins from a second direction and then transferred the shaped semi-finished inductor to the base plate via a transfer mechanism, ensuring the pins were correctly inserted into the mounting holes. This automated base plate mounting process eliminates the need for manual pin pressing, alignment, and drilling, reducing labor intensity and significantly improving mounting efficiency to meet the demands of large-scale production.

[0020] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1-18 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0022] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, if the word "and / or" appears throughout the text, it means including three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0023] This embodiment provides an inductor processing device, referring to... Figures 1-18 The system includes a body 100, an automatic base plate mounting device 10, and a correction and trimming device 20. The automatic base plate mounting device 10 is used to mount a base plate on the semi-finished inductor 200, and the correction and trimming device 20 is used to perform posture correction and fixed-length trimming on the pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 after the base plate has been mounted.

[0024] The automatic base plate mounting device 10 includes a base plate 11, a transfer mechanism 12 for transferring the semi-finished inductor 200, and a shaping mechanism 13. The base plate 11 has mounting holes 111 for the pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 to pass through. The semi-finished inductor 200 has two pins 201, and both pins 201 are not vertically arranged. There are two mounting holes 111.

[0025] The shaping mechanism 13 is located above the base plate 11 and includes a first shaping component 131, a second shaping component 132, and a shaping guide component 133.

[0026] The first shaping component 131 includes two slidable and oppositely arranged striking plates 1311, and two first shaping driving members 1312 for driving the two striking plates 1311 to move toward each other or away from each other. The second shaping assembly 132 includes a limiting seat 1321 that can slide along a first direction, two tapping blocks 1322 that can slide along a second direction and are arranged opposite each other, two second shaping driving members 1323 that are respectively used to drive the two tapping blocks 1322 to move in a direction closer to or further away from each other, and a third shaping driving member 1325 that is used to drive the limiting seat 1321 to move along the second direction. The limiting seat 1321 is located between the two tapping blocks 1322. The second shaping assembly 132 also includes two sliding seats 1324. The two tapping blocks 1322 are respectively fixed on the two sliding seats 1324, and the second shaping driving member 1323 is used to drive the sliding seats 1324 to slide along the second direction so that the tapping blocks 1322 can shape the pin 201 from the second direction. The shaping guide assembly 133 includes a first limiting mold 1331 and a second limiting mold 1332 that can slide along a first direction and are disposed opposite to each other. The first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 are respectively provided with a first guide groove 1333 and a second guide groove 1334 for guiding the limiting seat 1321 on their respective sides. The first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 cooperate to form a guide gap 1335 for the sliding of the striking block 1322. The shaping guide assembly 133 also includes two fourth shaping drive members 1336 for driving the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 to move toward or away from each other.

[0027] During operation, the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 are first driven by the fourth shaping drive 1336 to move closer to each other. Then, the limiting seat 1321 is driven by the third shaping drive 1325 to pass into the first guide groove 1333 and the second guide groove 1334 on the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332, thereby achieving precise positioning of the limiting seat 1321. At this time, the semi-finished inductor 200 is transferred to the shaping mechanism 13 by the transfer mechanism 12, so that the two pins 201 before shaping are located on both sides of the limiting seat 1321. Then, the two first shaping drives... The actuator 1312 drives two striking plates 1311 to move closer to each other along the first direction, so that the two striking plates 1311 shape the pins 201 from the first direction. Then, the two second shaping driving members 1323 drive the two striking blocks 1322 to slide along the guide gap 1335 to press the two pins 201 against the two sides of the limiting seat 1321 opposite to the second direction. That is, the two striking blocks 1322 shape the pins 201 from the second direction. Finally, the transfer mechanism 12 transfers the shaped semi-finished inductor 200 to the base plate 11 and makes the pins 201 pass through the mounting holes 111.

[0028] It should be noted that the transfer mechanism 12 includes a transfer robot 121. In this embodiment, when the shaping mechanism 13 shapes the pin 201, the transfer robot 121 still holds the semi-finished inductor 200. After the two striking plates 1311 and the two striking blocks 1322 have completed one shaping of the pin 201, the transfer robot 121 continues to drive the semi-finished inductor 200 to descend. Then the shaping mechanism 13 continues to shape the pin 201. This process is repeated to gradually knock the pin 201 from a non-vertical state to a vertical state, thus completing the segmented shaping of the pin 201. After the segmented shaping of the pin 201 is completed, the transfer robot 121 continues to drive the semi-finished inductor 200 to descend. Since the base plate 11 is located below the shaping mechanism 13, the semi-finished inductor 200 is transferred to the base plate 11, and the pin 201 smoothly passes into the mounting hole 111 on the base plate 11.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first shaping drive 1312, the second shaping drive 1323, the third shaping drive 1325, and the fourth shaping drive 1336 are all cylinders. In other embodiments, the first shaping drive 1312, the second shaping drive 1323, the third shaping drive 1325, and the fourth shaping drive 1336 can also be linear motors or electric push rods or other linear drive elements. The specific selection can be made according to actual production needs, and no unique limitation is made here.

[0030] Furthermore, the first limiting mold 1331 includes two limiting templates 13311 arranged parallel to each other along the first direction. The two limiting templates 13311 cooperate to form a first guide groove 1333. The limiting seat 1321 has abutment grooves 13211 on both sides opposite to the second direction for abutting and cooperating with the limiting templates 13311. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two abutment grooves 13211 have different lengths. One abutment groove 13211 extends to the end of the limiting seat 1321, while the other abutment groove 13211 does not extend to the end of the limiting seat 1321.

[0031] Understandably, by setting the first limiting mold 1331 as two limiting templates 13311 arranged parallel to each other along the first direction, and having the two cooperate to form the first guide groove 1333, the processing difficulty of the integrated guide groove is reduced on the one hand, and the width and straightness of the guide groove can be flexibly fine-tuned by adjusting the relative position of the two limiting templates 13311, thereby improving the accuracy of sliding guidance of the limiting seat 1321. Meanwhile, abutment grooves 13211 are opened on both sides of the limiting seat 1321 relative to the second direction, and the abutment grooves 13211 and the two limiting templates 13311 form a sliding abutment fit. When the limiting seat 1321 enters the first guide groove 1333, the fit between the abutment grooves 13211 and the limiting templates 13311 not only plays an auxiliary guiding and limiting role in the movement of the limiting seat 1321, effectively preventing the limiting seat 1321 from deflecting or shaking during the movement, and improving the positioning stability of the limiting seat 1321; but also the abutment structure can disperse the lateral load generated by the limiting seat 1321 when it is subjected to the abutment pressure of the striking block 1322, avoid stress concentration on a single side wall of the guide groove, and extend the service life of the limiting template and the limiting seat 1321.

[0032] Furthermore, each of the two striking blocks 1322 is provided with a sliding part 13221, which is used to slide and cooperate with the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 respectively. Understandably, by setting sliding parts 13221 on the two striking blocks 1322 respectively, and making the two sliding parts 13221 slide in cooperation with the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 respectively, the movement trajectory of the striking block 1322 when sliding along the guide gap 1335 is precisely constrained by the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332, which effectively prevents the striking block 1322 from wobbling or getting stuck during the sliding process, and ensures that the striking block 1322 can smoothly and steadily press the pin 201 against both sides of the limiting seat 1321; at the same time, the sliding cooperation structure between the sliding part 13221 and the limiting mold also plays a guiding and bearing role, reducing the lateral load of the second shaping drive 1323, extending the service life of the drive, and further improving the positioning accuracy and operation reliability of the second direction shaping.

[0033] Furthermore, a first inclined surface 13222 is provided on the sliding part 13221, and a second inclined surface 13321 for cooperating with the first inclined surface 13222 is correspondingly provided on the second limiting mold 1332. It can be understood that by providing the first inclined surface 13222 on the sliding part 13221 and the corresponding second inclined surface 13321 on the second limiting mold 1332, an inclined surface cooperation structure is formed between the two during the sliding of the striking block 1322. This structure can automatically eliminate the cooperation gap between the sliding part 13221 and the guide gap 1335, achieving wedge-type guidance, thereby effectively preventing the striking block 1322 from shaking or wobbling during movement, ensuring that the striking block 1322 can accurately and stably press the pin 201 against the side of the limiting seat 1321, significantly improving the positioning accuracy and forming consistency of the second-direction shaping.

[0034] Furthermore, the shaping mechanism 13 also includes a base plate bracket 134 and a base plate groove 135 formed on the base plate bracket 134. Two striking plates 1311 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove 135 relative to the first direction, and two striking blocks 1322 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove 135 relative to the second direction. The first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate groove 135 relative to the first direction and are respectively located below the two striking plates 1311.

[0035] Understandably, by opening a mounting groove 135 in the mounting plate bracket 134, and symmetrically arranging two striking plates 1311 on both sides of the mounting groove 135 relative to the first direction, two striking blocks 1322 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting groove 135 relative to the second direction, and symmetrically arranging the first limiting mold 1331 and the second limiting mold 1332 on both sides of the mounting groove 135 relative to the first direction and respectively located below the two striking plates 1311, the striking plates 1311, striking blocks 1322, first limiting mold 1331, and second limiting mold... All 1332 are arranged in a compact integrated layout around the mounting plate slot 135. The mounting plate slot 135 not only provides space for positioning and shaping of the pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200, but also serves as a mounting reference and movement limit for each moving part. This ensures the positional accuracy and movement stability of the striking plate 1311 along the first direction, the striking block 1322 along the second direction, and the limiting mold along the first direction. It also avoids interference or offset of each part during high-speed reciprocating motion, further improving the reliability and consistency of the bidirectional shaping of the pins 201.

[0036] Furthermore, the automatic base plate loading device 10 also includes a base plate feeding and conveying mechanism 14 and an inductor conveying mechanism 15. The base plate feeding and conveying mechanism 14 is used to supply the base plate 11 and convey the base plate 11 to the bottom of the shaping mechanism 13. The inductor conveying mechanism 15 is used to convey the semi-finished inductor 200 so that the transfer mechanism 12 can transfer the semi-finished inductor 200 to the shaping mechanism 13.

[0037] Understandably, by setting up the base plate feeding and conveying mechanism 14 and the inductor conveying mechanism 15, the automatic supply and conveying of the base plate 11 and the automatic feeding of the semi-finished inductor 200 are realized respectively. This allows the base plate 11 to be accurately delivered to the bottom of the shaping mechanism 13, and the semi-finished inductor 200 to be supplied to the picking position of the transfer mechanism 12 in an orderly manner. This eliminates the need for manual placement of the base plate 11 and inductors, avoiding positioning deviations and inefficiencies caused by manual operation. At the same time, the base plate feeding and conveying mechanism 14 and the inductor conveying mechanism 15 work together to provide a stable material source for the continuous picking and placing of materials by the transfer mechanism 12, ensuring the automated assembly line operation of the base plate loading operation and significantly improving the production cycle and automation level of the whole machine.

[0038] Furthermore, the base plate supply assembly 141 includes a vibratory feeder 1411 and a discharge channel 1412, with the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 1411 connected to the discharge channel 1412. The base plate conveying assembly 142 includes a base plate conveying robot 1421 and a base plate conveying module 1422 for driving the base plate conveying robot 1421 to move; The base plate transfer assembly 143 includes a base plate transfer bracket 1431 disposed between the discharge channel 1412 and the base plate conveying module 1422, and a base plate transfer robot 1432 disposed on the base plate transfer bracket 1431. The base plate transfer robot 1432 is used to transfer the base plate 11 at the end of the discharge channel 1412 away from the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 1411 to the base plate conveying robot 1421.

[0039] Understandably, by using a vibratory feeder 1411 in conjunction with the discharge channel 1412 to achieve automatic sorting and directional output of the base plates 11, it is ensured that the base plates 11 can be conveyed one by one to the end of the discharge channel 1412 in a consistent posture. At the same time, the base plate transfer robot 1432 accurately picks up the base plates 11 at the end of the discharge channel 1412 and transfers them to the base plate conveying robot 1421. Then, the base plate conveying module 1422 drives the base plate conveying robot 1421 to precisely transport the base plates 11 to the shaping stage. Below mechanism 13, the entire process of automatic feeding, transfer and precise conveying of the base plate 11 is fully automated. The continuous feeding method of vibratory feeder 1411 and discharge channel 1412 ensures uninterrupted supply of the base plate 11. The division of labor and cooperation between the base plate transfer robot 1432 and the base plate conveying robot 1421 avoids jamming or misalignment during the conveying process, improves the stability and positioning accuracy of the base plate 11 conveying, and provides a reliable guarantee for the accurate insertion of the pin 201 into the mounting hole 111.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, the base plate feeding and conveying mechanism 14 also includes a dispensing assembly 144, which is used to fix the dummy feet 112 of the base plate 11 to avoid the problem of the dummy feet 112 of the base plate 11 becoming loose after the semi-finished inductor 200 is installed on the base plate 11.

[0041] Furthermore, the inductor conveying mechanism 15 includes an inductor conveying guide rail 151, an inductor conveying carrier 152, and an inductor conveying drive module 153 for driving the inductor conveying carrier 152 to move along the inductor conveying guide rail 151. The inductor conveying carrier 152 is provided with multiple positioning slots for positioning semi-finished inductors 200, so as to simultaneously convey multiple semi-finished inductors 200 to the loading station, thereby improving loading efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 12 also includes a transfer fixing frame 122 and a transfer drive module 123 for driving the transfer robot 121 to move relative to the transfer fixing frame 122. During operation, the transfer drive module 123 drives the transfer robot 121 to move to the preset loading position of the inductor conveying mechanism 15. The transfer robot 121 descends to pick up the semi-finished inductor 200. Then, the transfer robot 121 transfers the semi-finished inductor 200 to the top of the shaping mechanism 13. After the semi-finished inductor 200 is shaped by the shaping mechanism 13, the transfer robot 121 continues to descend, thereby transferring the semi-finished inductor 200 to the bottom plate feeding conveying mechanism 14 for supply to the bottom plate 11 below the shaping mechanism 13. At the same time, the pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 pass through the mounting holes 111 on the bottom plate 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the correction and trimming device 20 includes a correction mechanism 21 and a trimming mechanism 22. The correction mechanism 21 is used to correct the shape of the two pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 after the base plate is installed, so that the part of the two pins 201 located below the base plate 11 opens outward. The trimming mechanism 22 is used to cut the outwardly opened part of the pins 201.

[0044] Understandably, by setting the correction mechanism 21 to correct the shape of the two pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 after it has been mounted on the base plate, the portion of the two pins 201 below the base plate 11 is made to open outwards. Then, the trimming mechanism 22 cuts the outwardly opened portion of the pins 201, thereby achieving secondary adjustment and fixed-length trimming of the pins 201 after mounting on the base plate. The correction mechanism 21 opens the pins 201 outwards, which not only eliminates the undesirable shape of the pins 201 caused by bending or folding during the shaping or mounting process, but also allows the subsequent trimming mechanism 22 to cut the pins 201 at a stable cutting angle, avoiding the problem of uneven cuts or inconsistent lengths caused by inconsistent pins 201 posture. At the same time, the shape of the outwardly opened pins 201 is conducive to subsequent soldering with the circuit board or other components, improving the electrical connection reliability of the product.

[0045] Furthermore, the calibration mechanism 21 includes a calibration fixing frame 211, a calibration support seat 212 fixed on the calibration fixing frame 211 for supporting the semi-finished inductor 200 with the base plate already installed, two calibration top wire blocks 213 slidably disposed on the calibration fixing frame 211, two pull wire clips 214 slidably disposed below the calibration support seat 212, and a top wire cylinder 215 for driving the calibration top wire blocks 213 to slide and a clip cylinder 216 for driving the pull wire clips 214 to move. The two calibration top wire blocks 213 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the calibration support seat 212, and the two pull wire clips 214 are symmetrically disposed below the calibration support seat 212. During calibration, the top wire cylinder 215 drives the calibration top wire block 213 to slide so that the part of the pin 201 located above the base plate 11 is pressed against the side wall of the semi-finished inductor 200. The pull wire clamp 214 clamps the part of the pin 201 located below the base plate 11. Then, the clamp cylinder 216 drives the pull wire clamp 214 to move so that the part of the pin 201 located below the base plate 11 is opened outward.

[0046] Understandably, by setting up the calibration fixing bracket 211 and the calibration support 212, a stable positioning support is provided for the semi-finished inductor 200 that has been mounted on the base plate. By symmetrically placing two calibration top wire blocks 213 on both sides of the calibration support 212 and driving them to slide by the top wire cylinder 215, the portion of the pin 201 located above the base plate 11 can be pressed against the side wall of the semi-finished inductor 200 from both sides, preventing displacement or deformation of the pin 201 when the pull wire clamp 214 is activated. By symmetrically placing two pull wire clamps 214 below the calibration support 212 and driving them to move by the clamp cylinder 216, after clamping the portion of the pin 201 located below the base plate 11, they are pulled outward, allowing the lower portion of the pin 201 to open precisely outward. Through the cooperation and coordinated action of the top wire blocks 213 and the pull wire clamps 214, it is ensured that the root of the pin 201 is not subjected to additional stress, and the controllability and consistency of the opening angle of the pin 201 are achieved.

[0047] Furthermore, the trimming mechanism 22 includes a trimming fixing frame 221, a trimming support 222 fixed on the trimming fixing frame 221 for carrying the semi-finished inductor 200 with completed pin shaping, a shearing member 223 slidably disposed on one side of the trimming support 222, a shearing drive cylinder 224 for driving the shearing member 223 to move toward or away from the trimming support 222, and a waste collection box 225 disposed below the trimming support 222 for receiving shearing waste. During trimming, the shearing component 223 is driven by the shearing drive cylinder 224 to move towards the trimming support 222, so that the shearing component 223 trims the pins 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 located on the trimming support 222, and the shearing waste generated during the trimming process is collected by the waste collection box 225.

[0048] Understandably, by setting up the trimming fixture 221 and the trimming support 222, precise positioning support is provided for the semi-finished inductor 200 whose pins have been shaped, ensuring that the part of the pin 201 to be trimmed is within the operating range of the shearing component 223; by sliding the shearing component 223 on one side of the trimming support 222 and driving it with the shearing drive cylinder 224, the shearing component 223 can move stably in the direction of approaching or moving away from the trimming support 222, realizing fast and neat cutting of the pin 201, avoiding problems such as burrs, pin deformation, or uneven length that are common when cutting manually or with non-dedicated equipment; by setting up a waste collection box 225 under the trimming support 222, the waste pins 201 cut off can be received and collected in real time during the trimming process, preventing waste from falling into the equipment or onto the workbench, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning, improving the working environment, and preventing waste from interfering with the normal operation of subsequent workstations.

[0049] In addition, the trimming mechanism 22 also includes a trimming sliding frame 226, and two cutting elements 223 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the trimming sliding frame 226. A cutting drive cylinder 224 is used to drive the trimming sliding frame 226 to move towards or away from the trimming support seat 222. During trimming, the cutting drive cylinder 224 drives the trimming sliding frame 226 to move towards the trimming support seat 222, so that the cutting elements 223 can trim the two leads 201 of the semi-finished inductor 200 located on the trimming support seat 222 to a fixed length.

[0050] Furthermore, the inductor processing equipment also includes a transfer mechanism 30 and a unloading mechanism 40. The transfer mechanism 30 includes a transfer fixing frame 31, two transfer manipulators 32 mounted on the transfer fixing frame 31, and a synchronous drive module 33 for driving the two transfer manipulators 32 to move synchronously. One of the transfer manipulators 32 is used to transfer the semi-finished inductor 200 with completed pin shape correction to the trimming mechanism 22, and the other transfer manipulator 32 is used to transfer the semi-finished inductor 200 with completed pin length trimming to the unloading mechanism 40.

[0051] The unloading mechanism 40 is located on the side of the trimming mechanism 22 away from the shaping mechanism 13. The unloading mechanism 40 includes an unloading frame 41, an unloading seat 42 slidably disposed on the unloading frame 41, and an unloading drive cylinder 43 for driving the unloading seat 42 to slide relative to the unloading frame 41. The unloading seat 42 is used to receive the semi-finished inductor 200 after the base plate and pin trimming are completed.

[0052] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
