与此同时,电极式焊接机构在连续使用过程中需要对电极工作端进行周期性清理;若清洁时必须拆卸电极或人工进入焊接区域,容易增加停机和再次调整的工作量
[0018]The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: First, each inductor feeding and assembly unit is not equipped with just one general-purpose robotic arm, but rather with an upper cable management assembly, a rotary switching mechanism, and an inductor assembly mechanism arranged sequentially along the inductor transfer direction. The upper cable management assembly drives the physical cable management component to move relative to the inductor pins via a linear module. The rotary switching mechanism changes the spatial orientation of the clamped inductor via a rotatable bracket and a clamping and transfer assembly. The inductor assembly mechanism then feeds the inductor into the turntable fixture through lateral transfer, vertical lifting, and clamping structures, forming a continuous and structurally supported transfer path for the inductor from the pre-forming state to the turntable assembly state. Second, the two inductor feeding and assembly units correspond to different turntable stations and cooperate with the first and second carbon crystal assembly mechanisms, enabling the two inductors and two carbon crystals to be assembled around the same indexing turntable, reducing the repetitive positioning caused by transferring them to an independent welding fixture after assembly. Third, the first and second welding mechanisms consist of a welding mounting frame, a welding lifting drive assembly, and a welding electrode assembly, respectively, and are positioned downstream of the indexing station. This allows the components already positioned by the turntable fixture to continue entering both welding positions with the same fixture, maintaining the continuity of the bearing reference between assembly and welding. Fourth, the CCD vision inspection mechanism and the normal and NG unloading structures are positioned after the welding station, forming a post-weld inspection and solid flow path. Fifth, when the electrode cleaning mechanism is set up, the brush-shaped cleaning component can be delivered by the cleaning moving assembly to the vicinity of the working end of the welding electrode and positioned in a cleaning retreat avoidance position. This allows the electrode cleaning action to have an independent mechanical advance and retreat path, without requiring the cleaning component to occupy the welding station for an extended period. All of the above effects are achieved by the corresponding mechanical structures and their relative arrangement, without relying on specific software algorithms or specific commercial models.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of automatic assembly and welding equipment for electronic components, and relates to an inductor and carbon crystal welding machine for automatic assembly and welding of inductors and carbon crystals. Background Technology
[0002] After the inductor components have completed the pre-amplifier pin forming, they typically need to be assembled and soldered to the carbon crystal components according to predetermined relative positions. For assemblies with two inductors and two carbon crystal components, the inductors must not only undergo position transfer before entering the soldering fixture, but also maintain the already formed pins in an assembly-ready state and convert the inductor body to an assembly posture that matches the fixture; the carbon crystal components need to be sent to their respective assembly positions. If the above materials are turned, assembled, and soldered separately by independent transfer mechanisms, the materials need to be transferred multiple times between workstations, which easily increases the number of repositioning operations and makes the workstation interfaces and cycle time coordination of the equipment more complex.
[0003] Existing technologies already include integrated equipment centered around a turntable carrier, arranging material loading, welding, visual inspection, and defective product unloading at multiple workstations. For example, CN207723855U discloses an integrated machine for inductor assembly, welding, and dispensing, which uses a turntable carrier in conjunction with material loading, visual inspection, defective product unloading, and welding structures. Therefore, simply adopting a "turntable + welding + inspection + unloading" structural framework is already a relatively close existing technology. For the dual-channel inductor and dual-channel carbon crystal products in this case, if only a conventional turntable with loading heads around it is used, it is difficult to demonstrate the pin arrangement, posture switching, and assembly connection relationships between the inductors from the pre-forming state to the turntable fixture. It is also not conducive to establishing a clear correspondence between the two sets of inductors, the two sets of carbon crystals, and the two welding positions within the same equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an inductor and carbon crystal welding machine with specific inductor processing and assembly structures. This machine allows two pre-formed inductors to pass through a physical wiring structure, a rotary switching structure, and an assembly structure before entering a rotary indexing fixture. It then forms a continuous structural chain with the two carbon crystal assembly lines and two welding stations, reducing repeated manual handling and temporary posture adjustments before inductor assembly. Furthermore, it enables assembly, welding, inspection, and unloading to be performed continuously around the same rotary fixture. Meanwhile, the electrode welding mechanism requires periodic cleaning of the electrode working ends during continuous use. If cleaning necessitates electrode disassembly or manual entry into the welding area, it easily increases downtime and readjustment workload. Therefore, without altering the core assembly chain, incorporating a cleaning structure that allows for movement relative to the welding electrodes can be considered a supplementary improvement direction for this equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an inductor and carbon crystal welding machine. This machine utilizes two inductor feeding and assembly units, each consisting of an upper feeder assembly, a rotary switching mechanism, and an inductor assembly mechanism, located around the indexing turntable mechanism. It also includes two carbon crystal assembly mechanisms and two welding stations with lifting welding electrodes. This ensures that the two inductors have clear pin alignment, posture switching, and spatial assembly paths before entering the turntable fixture, allowing the two carbon crystals and their corresponding inductors to be assembled and welded on the same indexing turntable. Furthermore, a retractable electrode cleaning mechanism can be added to create an independent mechanical cleaning path near the welding execution end.

This allows the electrode cleaning action to have an independent mechanical advance and retreat path, without requiring the cleaning component to occupy the welding station for an extended period. All of the above effects are achieved by the corresponding mechanical structures and their relative arrangement, without relying on specific software algorithms or specific commercial models.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0041] In the embodiments of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 16 As shown, this embodiment provides an inductor and carbon crystal welding machine, which is used to receive inductors that have completed pre-forming and carbon crystals that have completed pre-feeding and shaping. The two inductors and two carbon crystals are respectively assembled into the rotary table fixture 22 of the indexing rotary table mechanism 2. After electrode welding is completed at a predetermined station, visual inspection and unloading are performed. The equipment mainly includes a frame 1, an indexing rotary table mechanism 2, two inductor feeding and assembly units 3, a first carbon crystal assembly mechanism 41, a second carbon crystal assembly mechanism 42, a first welding mechanism 51, a second welding mechanism 52, a CCD visual inspection mechanism 6, a first component unloading transfer mechanism 71, a second component unloading transfer mechanism 72, and a defective product unloading mechanism 73. A welding power supply installation assembly 53, an electrode cleaning mechanism 54, and a belt conveyor line 8 can be added according to the equipment configuration. In this application, the inductor feeding assembly unit 3 focuses on the wiring, posture switching, and assembly structure of the pre-formed inductor after it enters the welding machine. The equipment that performs multi-stage bending and forming of the inductor pins can be connected to the machine, but it does not affect the independent composition of each assembly and welding structure in this embodiment. Similarly, carbon crystal can be sent to the carbon crystal receiving position of the machine by an independent forming and feeding device. This embodiment mainly describes the assembly structure of the carbon crystal from the machine to the turntable fixture 22.
[0043] The frame 1 forms the installation foundation of the entire machine. The frame 1 can be composed of a plate worktable, a profile frame and partial support columns. The indexing turntable mechanism 2 is located in the middle working area of the frame 1. Two inductive feeding units 3, the first carbon crystal feeding mechanism 41, the second carbon crystal feeding mechanism 42, the first welding mechanism 51, the second welding mechanism 52, the CCD vision inspection mechanism 6 and the unloading related mechanisms are respectively arranged around the periphery of the indexing turntable mechanism 2. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structural layout formed according to the customer's overall machine layout and the relationship between each workstation, used to illustrate the relative positions of each functional mechanism and the indexing turntable mechanism 2. Figures 2 to 8 Corresponding to the physical structure of the input, wiring and rotation switching of the two inductor sides; Figure 9 The welding machine complete CAD 3D assembly is provided to supplement the customer's equipment. Figure 10 Further illustration of the actual indexing turntable assembly; Figures 11 to 13The welding mechanism and its actuator structure are shown. Figure 14 Electrode cleaning mechanism 54 is shown. Figure 15 The welding power supply mounting assembly 53 is shown. Figure 16 The belt conveyor line 8 is shown. The above figures together serve to support the correspondence between the overall machine hierarchy and the local execution structures.
[0044] The indexing turntable mechanism 2 includes a turntable body 21, multiple turntable fixtures 22, and an indexing drive assembly 23. The turntable body 21 can be disc-shaped or annular, with its rotation center on a vertical central axis. Multiple turntable fixtures 22 are spaced apart circumferentially along the turntable body 21, allowing different fixtures 22 to sequentially reach stations such as inductor assembly, carbon crystal assembly, welding, inspection, and unloading along with the turntable body 21. Figure 10 The actual turntable assembly shown has a turntable body 21 formed by a central support area and an outer workstation installation area. Multiple installation positions for installing tooling, clamping parts, or supporting actuators are set on its periphery; these installation positions are indexed synchronously with the turntable body 21. Figure 1 The turntable fixture 22 is represented by multiple equally spaced positions, and the actual number of fixtures is determined according to the number of workstations and cycle time requirements. Each turntable fixture 22 is used to receive and assemble components and maintain their relative positions during the turntable indexing process. The positioning contour that directly contacts the product can be configured according to the specific inductor, carbon crystal and welding component shapes. In this embodiment, no particular positioning groove size or clamping method is limited to a necessary feature.
[0045] The indexing drive assembly 23 is located below the turntable body 21 or in the central support area, forming a transmission connection with the center of the turntable body 21, enabling the turntable body 21 to intermittently rotate at a predetermined angle. The indexing drive assembly 23 can consist of a rotary drive source and an indexing transmission structure; the specific drive source model and transmission form can be selected according to the equipment load. For this embodiment, the key is to establish a mechanical transmission relationship between the indexing drive assembly 23 and the turntable body 21, so that the turntable fixture 22 switches sequentially according to the workstation pitch, rather than rotating continuously without positioning. A slewing bearing, bearing seat, or other conventional load-bearing structures can also be provided below the turntable body 21 to support the weight of the turntable and tooling; these load-bearing components are conventional supporting structures of the indexing turntable mechanism 2 and can be set according to the actual engineering design.
[0046] Two inductor feeding units 3 are used to process the two inductors respectively. Based on the overall customer layout, the two inductors ultimately correspond to two inductor rotation feeding positions on the turntable. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two structures are uniformly summarized as two inductor feeding units 3. The two inductor feeding units 3 operate on the same or essentially the same principle and can be arranged in a mirror image according to the left and right space. Each inductor feeding unit 3, along the direction of inductor movement from the front-stage output position towards the turntable fixture 22, sequentially includes an upper feeding line assembly 31, a rotary switching mechanism 32, and an inductor feeding mechanism 33. This three-level solid structure, instead of having a single large-stroke robot traverse all positions, is one of the important structural foundations that distinguishes this embodiment from a conventional single turntable feeding mechanism.
[0047] Structural reference of upper cooking line component 31 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two figures respectively illustrate relative or mirror structures applicable to two inductors. The upper cable management assembly 31 includes a cable management mounting base 311, a cable management straightening module 312, a cable management moving base 313, and a cable management component 314. The cable management mounting base 311 forms a fixed support foundation, which can be composed of a base plate, side plates, and mounting brackets, and is fixed to the frame 1 or a partial mounting plate of the inductor feeding unit 3 by fasteners. The cable management straightening module 312 is mounted on the cable management mounting base 311, such that the linear movement direction of the cable management straightening module 312 corresponds to the intersection direction of the inductors to be processed. Figure 5 , Figure 6 The cable management linear module 312 shown has a long strip-shaped linear guide body and a component that can move along the body, which can provide a defined linear motion trajectory for the cable management moving seat 313.
[0048] The cable management moving base 313 is connected to the moving end of the cable management linear module 312. The cable management moving base 313 can be a plate-shaped or block-shaped connector, with one side fixed to the moving part of the linear module and the other side used to mount the cable management component 314. In the illustrated structure, the cable management component 314 forms an elongated working part extending in the direction of the inductor, preferably including two parallel and spaced-apart cable management rods, forming a cable management gap between them. The cross-section of the cable management rods can be circular, rectangular, or an irregularly shaped section with rounded corners, as long as it forms mechanical limits on both sides without damaging the inductor leads. The two cable management rods can be directly fixed to the same connecting block, or they can be fixed through adjustable mounting holes to adjust the cable management gap according to the spacing between the two leads.
[0049] The mechanical interaction between the upper cable management assembly 31 and the inductor to be processed can be understood as follows: when the inductor is located in the receiving area of the upper cable management assembly 31, the inductor body is held by the pre-clamping structure, receiving seat, or other positioning structure, and at least part of the inductor pins are located in the area reachable by the cable management component 314; the cable management linear module 312 drives the cable management moving seat 313 to move in a straight line, so that the two cable management rods enter from the side of the pins or so that the pins enter the cable management gap between the two cable management rods. As the cable management component 314 moves relative to the inductor, the two cable management rods form a lateral constraint on the pins, so that the pins maintain a relatively clear mutual spacing and extension direction before entering the subsequent rotation switching and assembly structure. The above description is used to explain the structural function of the cable management component 314 and does not require the cable management rods to apply large plastic deformation to the pins; its main function is to organize, guide, or hold the formed pins through the physical gap.
[0050] To facilitate adaptation to inductors of different lengths or different junction positions, Figure 5 , Figure 6 The cable management assembly 31 shown can also be equipped with auxiliary guide rods, adjustable stops, and position detection components parallel to the direction of the straight module. The auxiliary guide rods can be fixed to the cable management mounting base 311 via a shaft seat to improve stability during long-stroke movement; the adjustable stops can be adjusted axially via threads or elongated holes to limit the mechanical endpoint of the cable management moving base 313; the position detection components can be used to confirm whether the moving base is in position. The above auxiliary structures do not change the basic assembly relationship between the cable management mounting base 311, the cable management straight module 312, the cable management moving base 313, and the cable management component 314.
[0051] After passing through the upper feeder assembly 31, the inductor enters the rotary switching mechanism 32. (See attached structural reference for rotary switching mechanism 32.) Figure 7 and Figure 8 The two figures illustrate the relative structures corresponding to the two inductors. The rotary switching mechanism 32 includes a rotary base 321, a rotary support 322, and a clamping and transferring assembly 323. The rotary base 321 is fixed to the frame 1 or a partial mounting plate, and a rotary drive component capable of outputting rotational motion is provided on it. The rotation axis of the rotary drive component is preferably arranged vertically, and the rotary support 322 is connected to its output end, so that the rotary support 322 can switch between at least two angular positions around the vertical rotation axis.
[0052] Rotary support 322 Figure 7 , Figure 8The structure is a rotary bearing structure consisting of a central support portion and an upper transverse mounting portion. Its lower part is connected to the rotary drive end of the rotary base 321 via a rotary shaft, flange, or connecting plate, while the upper part provides a mounting surface for the clamping and transfer assembly 323. The rotary support 322 can be a single machined part or formed by combining columns, beams, and connecting plates. An annular or arc-shaped auxiliary component is visible around the upper working area; this auxiliary component can serve as a supporting structure for pipeline constraint, protection, or follow-up support. The core of this embodiment does not depend on the specific shape of this auxiliary component and therefore is not considered a separate essential technical feature.
[0053] The clamping and transfer assembly 323 is mounted on the rotary support 322 and rotates together with the rotary support 322. The clamping and transfer assembly 323 includes a linear transfer component and an inductor clamping component. The linear transfer component can be a combination of a linear cylinder, a linear slide, or a guide rail and a drive component, and its movement direction extends along the upper mounting direction of the rotary support 322. The inductor clamping component is mounted on the moving end of the linear transfer component and is used to hold the inductor during rotational switching. The inductor clamping component can include two relatively opening and closing jaws. The clamping surfaces of the two jaws preferably act on the inductor body or do not affect the position of the formed leads; the specific jaw profile can be set according to the shape of the inductor.
[0054] The rotary switching mechanism 32 functions within the structural chain through three types of physical motion: clamping, linear avoidance, and rotation. The inductor clamping component, driven by the linear transfer component, first reaches the material handling or handover position and clamps the inductor. Subsequently, the linear transfer component moves the inductor away from the interference area of adjacent structures. The rotary support 322, driven by the rotary drive component, rotates through a preset angle, thereby changing the spatial orientation of the inductor body and its pins relative to the subsequent inductor assembly mechanism 33. After rotation, the clamping and transfer component 323 moves the inductor to a position that the inductor assembly mechanism 33 can receive. The actual switching angle can be set according to the incoming posture of the two inductors and the assembly posture of the turntable fixture 22. This embodiment does not necessarily limit it to a specific angle such as 90 degrees or 180 degrees.
[0055] After being adjusted by the rotary switching mechanism 32, the inductor enters the inductor assembly mechanism 33. Figure 2 and Figure 3 These represent the three-dimensional structures of the two inductor input mechanisms 33. Figure 4 The relative arrangement of the two inductor loading mechanisms 33 is further illustrated. Each inductor loading mechanism 33 includes a loading bracket 331, a lateral transfer assembly 332, a lifting assembly 333, and a loading clamping assembly 334. The loading bracket 331 is a load-bearing frame with a certain height. The illustrated structure consists of a bottom mounting plate, vertical columns, an upper connecting beam, and a partial mounting plate. Multiple columns or reinforcing plates ensure that the upper lateral transfer assembly 332 maintains sufficient support rigidity when crossing the outer edge of the turntable.
[0056] The lateral transfer assembly 332 is mounted on the upper part of the assembly bracket 331. The lateral transfer assembly 332 includes a lateral guide rail extending in a horizontal direction and a lateral slide that moves along the lateral guide rail, and is equipped with a linear drive capable of driving the lateral slide to move. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The elongated upper mechanism shown provides lateral travel, allowing the lower lifting assembly 333 to move between the inductor junction position and above the turntable fixture 22. The lateral guide rail can be a linear guide rail, a slide rail, or a guide structure in a linear module; as long as the lateral slide moves along a defined straight path.
[0057] The lifting assembly 333 is disposed at the moving end of the transverse transfer assembly 332. The lifting assembly 333 includes a vertical guide and a lifting seat that moves along the vertical guide. The vertical guide is fixed to the transverse slide or a mounting plate fixed to the transverse slide. The lifting seat is driven to rise or fall by a vertical drive component. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The vertical execution structure near the assembly entry working end forms the lifting component 333, which enables the assembly entry clamping component 334 to maintain a high position during the lateral movement to avoid surrounding mechanisms, and to descend to the assembly entry height after reaching above the corresponding turntable fixture 22.
[0058] The insertion clamping assembly 334 is fixed to the lower part of the lifting assembly 333. The insertion clamping assembly 334 has at least opposing clamping portions for clamping the inductor and can be opened and closed by a small clamping drive. In one embodiment, the two clamping portions clamp from both sides of the inductor body, keeping the aligned leads facing a predetermined direction toward the turntable fixture 22; in another embodiment, positioning clamping can also be formed by clamping blocks matching the contour of the inductor body. An adjustable connecting plate can be provided between the mounting surface of the insertion clamping assembly 334 and the lifting base to allow for machine adjustment of the lateral position and angle of the inductor relative to the turntable fixture 22.
[0059] The working range of the inductor assembly mechanism 33 is formed by the superposition of the lateral transfer assembly 332 and the lifting assembly 333. After the assembly clamping assembly 334 receives the inductor from the rotary switching mechanism 32 at the junction position, the lifting assembly 333 first raises the inductor to the clearance height, and then the lateral transfer assembly 332 moves the inductor above the turntable fixture 22; subsequently, the lifting assembly 333 descends, allowing the inductor to enter the assembly area of the turntable fixture 22, and the assembly clamping assembly 334 releases, leaving the inductor in the turntable fixture 22. The above process description is used to illustrate the mutual cooperation of the various physical structures and does not regard the specific control sequence as an independent method protection content; the claims define the installation relationship between the lateral transfer assembly 332, the lifting assembly 333, and the assembly clamping assembly 334, as well as their relative positions with respect to the turntable fixture 22.
[0060] The two inductor feed groups 3 can respectively correspond to the first inductor and the second inductor in the product. Combined with... Figure 1 In accordance with the overall customer layout, the two inductor assembly positions are located at different circumferential stations of the indexing turntable mechanism 2, forming a relative arrangement in the overall space. For the left and right mirror-image inductors, the two inductor feeding assembly units 3 can adopt mirror-mounted upper feeding line assembly 31, rotary switching mechanism 32, and inductor assembly mechanism 33, so that the two assembly clamping assemblies 334 approach the turntable fixture 22 from directions suitable for their respective spaces. The mirror arrangement does not require that every mounting plate of the two mechanisms be completely symmetrical, as long as the two material paths have corresponding processing chains and arrive at different assembly stations respectively.
[0061] The first carbon crystal loading mechanism 41 and the second carbon crystal loading mechanism 42 are located at two different carbon crystal loading positions around the indexing turntable mechanism 2. The customer's overall machine layout clearly specifies two workstations: "Carbon Crystal 1 Loading" and "Carbon Crystal 2 Loading." Therefore, this embodiment is described as having two independent carbon crystal loading mechanisms. Both the first carbon crystal loading mechanism 41 and the second carbon crystal loading mechanism 42 include a carbon crystal loading bracket, a carbon crystal transfer module, and a carbon crystal picking component. The carbon crystal loading bracket is fixed to the frame 1. The carbon crystal transfer module is disposed on the carbon crystal loading bracket and provides linear or combined linear movement from the carbon crystal receiving position to the turntable fixture 22. The carbon crystal picking component is installed at the moving end of the carbon crystal transfer module.
[0062] Since the supplementary CAD drawings mainly demonstrate the rotation switching, cable management, and assembly mechanisms on the inductor side, the carbon crystal assembly mechanism in this embodiment is described using a structural hierarchy consistent with the customer's overall machine layout, without explicitly specifying the gripper details not covered in the handover drawings. The carbon crystal picking component can be a mechanical clamping component matching the shape of the carbon crystal, or other picking structures capable of forming stable physical picking contact; its installation position should ensure that the picking end can reach both the carbon crystal receiving position and the corresponding turntable fixture 22 within the stroke of the carbon crystal transfer module. The carbon crystal transfer module can include at least a linear guide and a slidingly engaging moving seat, and can be equipped with lifting actuators based on height differences. Regardless of whether a single-axis or two-axis structure is used, its physical moving end faces the corresponding turntable assembly station.
[0063] The first carbon crystal assembly mechanism 41 and the second carbon crystal assembly mechanism 42 receive carbon crystal parts that have met the requirements for subsequent assembly from the preceding carbon crystal forming and feeding equipment. The preceding material hopper, flexible vibratory feeder, and two-stage carbon crystal shaping structure can be connected to this welding machine as independent equipment; after the carbon crystal enters the machine, it is moved by the corresponding carbon crystal take-up part to the predetermined receiving area in the rotary jig 22. In this way, both the inductor and the carbon crystal use the rotary jig 22 as a common bearing reference before subsequent welding, avoiding the need to transfer the entire assembly to another independent welding fixture for realignment after assembly.
[0064] The first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52 are respectively located at two welding stations surrounding the indexing turntable mechanism 2. Figures 11 to 13 Each welding mechanism includes at least a welding mounting frame 511, a welding lifting drive assembly 512, and a welding electrode assembly 513. The welding mounting frame 511 forms a fixed support base for the welding execution end and can be formed by combining a vertical support plate, a horizontal connecting plate, and a bottom mounting plate. The welding lifting drive assembly 512 is mounted on the welding mounting frame 511 and provides guided linear movement in the direction of approaching or moving away from the corresponding turntable fixture 22. The welding electrode assembly 513 is mounted on the moving end of the welding lifting drive assembly 512, with its working end facing the welding connection position. Thus, the welding electrode is not merely suspended above the workstation with a fixed welding head, but rather a clearly defined mechanical access path is established through the mounting frame and the lifting drive. The customer's supplementary CAD also shows the parallel arrangement of the welding execution end structure. In this embodiment, one or more welding electrode assemblies 513 can be configured according to the number of electrodes required for a welding position, but the specific number of electrodes is not a necessary limitation of the independent claims.
[0065] Two welding stations correspond to different connection positions in the assembly. The first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52 can be set at two consecutive or spaced stations on the turntable body 21, as long as the corresponding inductor and carbon crystal have been assembled and reach the working area of the corresponding welding electrode assembly 513 along with the turntable fixture 22. At least one welding mechanism can also be equipped with a welding positioning component 514, located on the opposite or adjacent side of the working end of the welding electrode assembly 513, used to form a local mechanical support, limit, or clamping reference for the part to be welded; when the welding lifting drive assembly 512 moves the welding electrode assembly 513 closer, the connection part to be welded is held in a defined welding area. Using two independent welding stations establishes fixed installation references for the two connection positions, and station switching is completed using turntable indexing. Although the customer's CAD file shows the welding mechanism's supporting pipelines and adjustable installation structure, the specific pipeline uses and welding energy forms are not included as core disclosures in this embodiment; therefore, they are not included in the essential technical features of this embodiment.
[0066] The CCD vision inspection mechanism 6 is located after the two welding stations. The CCD vision inspection mechanism 6 includes an inspection bracket and a camera assembly mounted on the inspection bracket. The inspection bracket is fixed to the frame 1 and spans across or is located to the side of the inspection station. The optical inspection end of the camera assembly faces the turntable fixture 22 on the inspection station. To obtain stable imaging conditions, a light source, a light shield, or a position adjustment structure can be placed near the camera assembly; these components can be configured according to the actual inspection object. The CCD vision inspection mechanism 6 is used to acquire images of the components after welding is completed, so that the subsequent equipment control system can determine whether the components have entered the normal unloading path or the defective product unloading path based on the set inspection items. Since the customer's overall layout only clearly indicates that the equipment has two types of NGs without limiting the structural causes of the two types of defects to essential features of the present invention, this embodiment does not limit the specific NG category names.
[0067] The first component unloading transfer mechanism 71 and the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72 are located downstream of the indexing station of the inspection station and correspond to the output positions of the two components, respectively. Depending on the customer's overall layout, they can be arranged vertically or horizontally along one side of the indexing turntable mechanism 2. Each component unloading transfer mechanism includes an unloading linear module and a receiving component located at its moving end. The unloading linear module can be a rodless slide, a linear cylinder, a linear electric cylinder, or other guided linear movement structure. The receiving component is used to receive the welding components near the turntable fixture 22 and moves with the unloading linear module to a transfer position that can be retrieved by subsequent equipment. For two different components or two different output cycles, the first component unloading transfer mechanism 71 and the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72 can be set separately to allow the two normal products to have independent transfer positions.
[0068] The defective product unloading mechanism 73 is located in the adjacent area of the first component unloading transfer mechanism 71 and the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72, and is separated from the normal output position. It may include a defective product receiving box, an NG slide, an NG transfer component, or a defective product receiving component driven by a linear module. This embodiment emphasizes the structural relationship of "the defective product receiving position being separated from the two normal component output positions" in the claims to ensure a distinguishable physical unloading path after inspection; the specific use of a box, slide, or clamping transfer structure can be configured according to the actual unloading method of the customer's equipment.
[0069] Along the indexing direction of the indexing turntable mechanism 2, each station forms a continuous machining path. The turntable fixture 22 first receives inductors and carbon crystals at one or more assembly stations; once the corresponding inductors and carbon crystals are located in the predetermined areas of the turntable fixture 22, the turntable body 21 continues to index to the welding areas corresponding to the first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52; after the two welding positions are completed, the turntable fixture 22 enters the inspection position of the CCD vision inspection mechanism 6; after inspection, the turntable fixture 22 enters the unloading areas corresponding to the first component unloading transfer mechanism 71, the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72, and the defective product unloading mechanism 73. The specific circumferential order of the first inductor, the second inductor, the first carbon crystal, and the second carbon crystal can be adjusted according to the product assembly interference relationship, as long as the two welding stations are located after their corresponding assembly stations, and the inspection and unloading are located after welding.
[0070] From the perspective of the interfaces between the various mechanisms, a fixed transfer seat can be provided between the upper cable assembly 31 and the rotary switching mechanism 32 to keep the inductor in position before the clamping and transfer assembly 323 picks it up after cable management. A short-stroke transfer component or a fixed transfer position can also be provided between the rotary switching mechanism 32 and the inductor assembly mechanism 33 to ensure that the assembly clamping assembly 334 can receive the inductor in a stable position. The customer's CAD label also contains inductor unloading movement components. These components can serve as the specific transfer implementation for the aforementioned transfer area. They can be a combination of a linear movement module and a clamping component to shorten the direct span between the two main mechanisms. Since whether this transfer structure is set up separately does not change the configuration relationship of the three core mechanisms—"upper cable assembly 31—rotary switching mechanism 32—inductor assembly mechanism 33"—along the inductor transfer direction, this embodiment describes it as an optional auxiliary transfer structure and does not include it in the essential feature set of the independent claims.
[0071] To ensure the two inductor feeding assembly units 3 are installed within a compact area, each assembly bracket 331 can employ mounting plates and columns of different heights, allowing the lateral transfer assembly 332 and the rotary switching mechanism 32 to be spatially staggered. The linear movement direction of the upper cable management assembly 31 can also form an angle with the movement direction of the lateral transfer assembly 332. As long as the cable management component 314 can reach the inductor pin area, the clamping and transfer assembly 323 can switch between two positions, and the assembly clamping assembly 334 can move between the junction position and the turntable fixture 22, the shape and relative height of each bracket can be adjusted according to the overall machine space. Therefore, the use of relative positional terms such as "set on," "located on the periphery," and "facing the corresponding turntable fixture" in the claims is to cover the actual installation form of left-right mirroring and vertical staggering in the customer's CAD, rather than requiring all motion axes to be on the same plane.
[0072] In a specific operating state, the pre-stage inductor forming equipment delivers the first and second inductors to the receiving positions of the two sets of inductor feeding units 3, respectively. The straight-line module 312 of the upper cable management assembly 31 drives the cable management moving seat 313, causing the cable management component 314 to enter the pin area and form a gap limit between the two pins; after the cable management component 314 retracts, the clamping and transfer component 323 of the rotary switching mechanism 32 clamps the inductor, and the straight-line transfer component brings the inductor to a rotatable position. The rotary support 322 rotates to a posture that matches the subsequent inductor feeding mechanism 33; the feeding clamping component 334 receives the inductor, and with the cooperation of the lateral transfer component 332 and the lifting component 333, places the inductor on the corresponding turntable fixture 22. The two sets of inductor feeding units 3 can operate synchronously or staggered according to the turntable rhythm.
[0073] Simultaneously, the first carbon crystal assembly mechanism 41 and the second carbon crystal assembly mechanism 42 retrieve carbon crystals from their respective carbon crystal receiving positions and send them to the corresponding turntable fixture 22. Since the first and second carbon crystal assembly mechanisms each have independent carbon crystal transfer modules, the assembly positions of the two carbon crystals can be adjusted separately, avoiding the need for a large-scale mechanism to traverse back and forth across both sides of the turntable. After each material is assembled, the indexing drive component 23 drives the turntable body 21 to rotate, causing the same turntable fixture 22 to sequentially enter the working areas of the first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52. After welding, the assembly continues to rotate to the CCD vision inspection mechanism 6. If the inspection result corresponds to normal output, the component enters the first component unloading transfer mechanism 71 or the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72; if the inspection result corresponds to non-compliance, the component enters the defective product unloading mechanism 73, which is separated from the normal output position.
[0074] The above operating instructions emphasize the mechanical connections between the various physical mechanisms. The actual control system can use a PLC, motion controller, or other industrial control devices to interlock the various driving components, but the controller type, communication method, and image algorithm are not the core aspects claimed in this invention. Even if the controller is replaced or the action waiting time is adjusted, the technical solution of this invention still retains the physical structural relationships between the indexing turntable mechanism 2, the two sets of inductive feeding units 3 with wire management and rotation switching structures, the two sets of carbon crystal feeding mechanisms, the double welding mechanism, and the subsequent detection and unloading mechanism.
[0075] In other embodiments, the linear cable management module 312 can be replaced by a cylinder and linear guide rail instead of an integrated linear slide. The cable management moving seat 313 can be directly fixed to the cylinder output end and guided by an independent guide rail. The two cable management rods of the cable management component 314 can also be replaced by two parallel thin plates or guide blocks with open slots, as long as a mechanical limiting gap is formed for the power inductor pins to enter. The rotary drive of the rotary base 321 can be a rotary cylinder, a servo rotary actuator, or other mechanical rotary structure that can stably stop at at least two angular positions. The linear transfer component that holds the transfer assembly 323 can be a guide rail slide or a cylinder guide rod structure. The above substitutions do not change the physical installation relationship between the components.
[0076] In other embodiments, the lateral transfer assembly 332 and the lifting assembly 333 can be a rectangular coordinate transfer structure composed of two mutually perpendicular linear modules, with the insertion clamping assembly 334 fixed to the moving end of the vertical module; alternatively, a lifting cylinder with a guide rod can be provided on the lateral slide, and the insertion clamping assembly 334 can be directly mounted on the movable plate of the lifting cylinder. The insertion clamping assembly 334 can employ a two-jaw clamping, parallel clamping, or a contour clamping structure adapted to the inductor body. All of the above specific forms are supported by a physical combination of "lateral movement + vertical movement + end clamping," enabling the inductor to enter the turntable fixture 22 from the junction position after rotation switching.
[0077] For the indexing turntable mechanism 2, the turntable fixture 22 can be detachably fixed to the turntable body 21 by screws and positioning pins, so that the tooling in contact with the product can be changed when different products are changed; alternatively, a portion of the common positioning base can be fixed to the turntable body 21, and only the upper product positioning block needs to be replaced. If the product needs to be held during the welding process, the turntable fixture 22 can also be equipped with conventional elastic pressure blocks or clamping parts, but these specific clamping structures are only configured when the actual product requires them and are not considered as essential features that distinguish this invention from the prior art. This application emphasizes the continuous assembly of materials from inductor wire handling and rotational switching onto the same turntable fixture, and then using this turntable fixture to pass through subsequent welding, inspection, and unloading stations.
[0078] For the linear actuators of the first carbon crystal loading mechanism 41, the second carbon crystal loading mechanism 42, and the unloading transfer mechanism, standard actuators such as magnetically coupled rodless slides and single-rail slides can be used in the drawings. The patent text does not limit the scope to specific brands, models, cylinder diameters, or rated power, but rather uses the mechanical relationship formed by the "fixed guide part + moving part + end-feeding / receiving part" for a broader generalization. This corresponds to the actual standard parts in the customer's drawings while avoiding unnecessarily limiting the claims to a particular commercial model.
[0079] Similarly, the welding electrode assembly 513 of the first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52 can be configured with different electrode end profiles according to the size of the material being welded and the connection part. The welding lifting drive assembly 512 can adopt a pneumatic actuator with guide, an electric linear actuator, or other structure that can reciprocate in a defined direction. Figures 11 to 13 The actual mechanisms shown all have a fixed mounting frame, a guided lifting actuator, and a welding end structure located in the lower working area, providing physical structural support for the "welding mounting frame 511—welding lifting drive assembly 512—welding electrode assembly 513" in the claims. Since rotary welding equipment already exists in the prior art, this embodiment does not regard the individual welding electrode as the core inventive point, but rather considers its continuous synergistic relationship with the dual inductor wire-rotation-assembly chain, dual carbon crystal assembly chain, and the same indexing rotary fixture as the main technical solution.
[0080] Figure 9 The CAD assembly of the whole machine further verifies that the above-mentioned workstation structures are all installed on the worktable of the same frame 1, the indexing turntable mechanism 2 is located in the middle of the whole machine, and multiple sets of feeding, assembly, welding and inspection execution mechanisms are arranged around it. Figure 9 An independent welding power supply mounting assembly 53 is also provided at the top, allowing the welding power supply components and the lower actuator to be arranged in a spatially layered manner. This overall view is used to confirm that all local components belong to the same equipment assembly and to verify... Figure 1 The workstation relationships are shown; for internal electrical connections that cannot be determined solely from the assembly view, this embodiment does not impose limitations beyond the CAD structure.
[0081] Combination Figure 15 The welding power supply mounting assembly 53 includes a power supply mounting frame 531 and a first welding power supply 532 and a second welding power supply 533 mounted on the power supply mounting frame 531. The power supply mounting frame 531 may consist of a horizontal support plate, an outer frame, and multiple supporting columns, and is located above or at the rear of the frame 1 in a non-processing area, so that the welding power supply is arranged separately from the motion mechanism on the turntable. The first welding power supply 532 and the second welding power supply 533 serve as the supporting power supply units for the first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52, respectively; the actual equipment may use a transformer-type, inverter-type, or other welding power supply suitable for electrode welding, and the patent text does not limit it to a specific commercial model, rated power, or internal circuit.
[0082] Combination Figure 14The electrode cleaning mechanism 54 includes a cleaning mounting base 541, a cleaning moving assembly 542, a cleaning rotating drive 543, and a brush-shaped cleaning component 544. The cleaning mounting base 541 is used to fix the electrode cleaning mechanism 54 to an adjacent area of the welding station; the cleaning moving assembly 542 has a fixed guide portion and a cleaning moving seat that moves along the fixed guide portion, and the cleaning rotating drive 543 is mounted on the cleaning moving seat. The brush-shaped cleaning component 544 is connected to the output end of the cleaning rotating drive 543 and, in the illustrated embodiment, is a columnar brush body extending axially along the rotation axis. When the cleaning moving assembly 542 delivers the brush-shaped cleaning component 544 to the vicinity of the end of the welding electrode assembly 513, the cleaning rotating drive 543 drives the brush-shaped cleaning component 544 to rotate to mechanically brush the working end of the electrode; after cleaning, the cleaning moving assembly 542 drives the brush-shaped cleaning component 544 to a clearance position that does not interfere with normal welding. As a secondary improvement to the welding system, the core of this mechanism lies in the physical combination of the "movable cleaning seat + rotating brush" and its advance and retreat relationship relative to the welding electrode.
[0083] Combination Figure 16 The production line where the equipment is located can be equipped with a belt conveyor line 8. The belt conveyor line 8 includes a conveyor frame 81 extending along the production line direction, a conveyor belt assembly 82 mounted on the conveyor frame 81, and a conveyor drive assembly 83 located at one end. The conveyor belt assembly 82 can be a combination of parallel arranged narrow belts or synchronously running conveyor belts / guide rails. The conveyor drive assembly 83 drives the conveyor belt to circulate through a drive wheel or drive shaft. This belt conveyor line can be used to receive fixtures, products, or establish a logistics interface with adjacent equipment. Since it is a general logistics infrastructure in the entire automated line, this embodiment only describes it as a complete machine supporting structure and does not consider it as a core essential feature that distinguishes it from the closest prior art.
[0084] In summary, this embodiment establishes multiple stable circumferential bearing stations through the indexing turntable mechanism 2, and sets two sets of inductor feeding assembly units 3 with clear physical structure hierarchy around it. Each inductor feeding unit 3 first has its inductor pins organized by the straight-line cable management module 312 and cable management component 314, then its posture is switched by the rotating base 321, rotating bracket 322 and clamping and transfer component 323, and finally the inductor is placed into the turntable fixture 22 by the lateral transfer component 332, lifting component 333 and feeding clamping component 334; the first carbon crystal feeding mechanism 41 and the second carbon crystal feeding mechanism 42 respectively send the two carbon crystals into the corresponding fixtures; the first welding mechanism 51 and the second welding mechanism 52 complete the processing of the two welding positions downstream of the indexing through the welding mounting frame 511, welding lifting drive component 512 and welding electrode component 513, and the subsequent inspection and diversion are formed by the CCD vision inspection mechanism 6, the first component unloading transfer mechanism 71, the second component unloading transfer mechanism 72 and the defective product unloading mechanism 73. The further designed electrode cleaning mechanism 54 forms an independent electrode maintenance path through a retractable cleaning moving component 542 and a rotating brush-like cleaning component 544; the welding power supply mounting component 53 and the belt conveyor 8 are connected to the aforementioned core link as an assembly supporting structure. Thus, the corresponding mechanical structures and positional relationships supporting each major function can be found in the instruction manual and customer CAD drawings, eliminating the need to define the scope of protection using purely functional terms.
[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
