Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inductor assembly, and particularly to an assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing inductor assembly processes, components such as magnetic cores and copper sheets are typically stacked and assembled layer by layer using one conveyor line, while the assembly of the entire component with the fixture and the fixture capping are completed using another conveyor line. After the workpiece is assembled on the first conveyor line, it usually needs to be transferred to the fixture conveyor line via an additional transfer mechanism to complete the fixture installation and capping operations. This split layout not only increases the overall footprint of the equipment, but also makes it prone to positional shifts during workpiece transfer across lines, reducing assembly accuracy and production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 An assembly machine includes: a machine base 100, a conveying mechanism 500, multiple feeding mechanisms 200, multiple dispensing mechanisms 300, a fixture mechanism 400, and a capping mechanism 600. The machine base 100 has a conveying direction, and the machine base 100 is provided with an assembly area, a fixture position, and a capping position arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. The conveying mechanism 500 is disposed on the machine base 100 and includes an indexing plate 580 disposed on the machine base 100. The indexing plate 580 has a synchronously rotating top plate body 510. The bottom tray 520 is equipped with a loading seat 505. When the bottom tray 520 rotates, it can drive the loading seat 505 to move sequentially along the conveying direction to the assembly area and the fixture position. The top tray 510 is equipped with a bracket 640. When the top tray 510 rotates, it can drive the bracket 640 to move from the fixture position to the cover position. Multiple feeding mechanisms 200 and multiple dispensing mechanisms 300 are all set on the machine base 100 and are all located in the assembly area. Each feeding mechanism 200 and each dispensing mechanism 300 The components 0 are arranged alternately along the conveying direction. The conveying mechanism 500 can drive the loading seat 505 to move alternately to the feeding mechanism 200 and the dispensing mechanism 300. When the conveying mechanism 500 drives the loading seat 505 to the feeding mechanism 200, the feeding mechanism 200 can install the workpiece onto the loading seat 505. When the conveying mechanism 500 drives the workpiece to the dispensing mechanism 300 through the loading seat 505, the dispensing mechanism 300 can apply glue to the workpiece. The fixture mechanism 400 is set on the machine base 10. When the conveying mechanism 500 moves the workpiece to the fixture position, the fixture mechanism 400 can move the workpiece at the fixture position and install it onto the fixture; when the top plate 510 moves the bracket 640 to the fixture position, the fixture mechanism 400 can install the fixture onto the bracket 640; the cover mounting mechanism 600 is set on the machine base 100, and the top plate 510 can move the fixture and the workpiece at the fixture position together to the cover mounting position through the bracket 640; the cover mounting mechanism 600 can install the top cover onto the fixture at the cover mounting position.

[0022] The bottom plate 520 drives the loading seat 505 to complete the layer-by-layer assembly and transfer of workpieces, while the top plate 510 drives the bracket 640 to complete the transfer and mounting of the fixture. Driven by the same indexing plate 580, the workpiece assembly and fixture transport are synchronized, eliminating the need for a separate fixture transport line, reducing equipment space and the number of driving components, and lowering equipment costs. Secondly, the alternating feeding and dispensing arrangement in the assembly area allows for the sequential installation and dispensing of multiple layers of parts as the indexing plate 580 drives the loading seat 505 in a stepping motion, fulfilling the inductor assembly requirements of alternating stacks of magnetic cores and copper sheets. The assembled inductor and fixture are transferred at the fixture position, and the indexing plate 580 ensures that both the loading seat 505 and the bracket 640 move to the fixture position with the same motion, thus avoiding transfer errors between different transport lines and improving assembly accuracy and production efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, the indexing plate 580 can be driven by a servo motor, the loading seat 505 can be provided with a positioning groove adapted to the shape of the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from shifting during rotation, and the bracket 640 can be provided with a snap-fit ​​structure matching the shape of the fixture to ensure the fixture is fixed in position during transport. Furthermore, the machine base 100 is equipped with a robot arm 900, which is used to grip the fixture after it is covered and drive the fixture to unload the material.

[0024] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The feeding mechanism 200 includes a feeding position 215, a vibrating disc 210, a transfer seat 240, a shaping table 260, and a conveying assembly 220. The conveying mechanism 500 can drive the loading seat 505 to move to the feeding position 215. The vibrating disc 210 is used to output a single workpiece to the transfer seat 240. The transfer seat 240 is equipped with a detector 280, which is used to detect the position and posture of the workpiece on the transfer seat 240. The conveying assembly 220 can drive the workpiece from the transfer seat 240 to the shaping table 260 and the feeding position 215 in sequence. The shaping table 260 is used to adjust the position and posture of the workpiece. The detector 280 and the shaping table 260 are both communicatively connected to a control system. The workpiece is output in an orderly manner by means of the vibrating plate 210. The detector 280 on the transfer seat 240 can first perform preliminary detection of the workpiece position and posture. Then, the conveying component 220 transfers the workpiece to the shaping table 260 for position and posture adjustment. Finally, it is transferred to the feeding position 215 and installed on the loading seat 505. This can effectively correct the posture deviation of the workpiece during the feeding process, ensure that the workpiece is installed on the loading seat 505 in an accurate posture, and avoid poor assembly caused by incorrect workpiece position and posture.

[0025] In terms of specific components, the vibratory feeder 210 can be used with the hopper 205 to continuously replenish the workpiece to the vibratory feeder 210, extending the continuous operation time of the equipment; the detector 280 can adopt a visual inspection camera or fiber optic sensor to adapt to the position and pose detection requirements of different types of workpieces; the shaping table 260 can be replaced with the corresponding shaping fixture according to the shape characteristics of the workpiece to be compatible with inductor parts of different specifications.

[0026] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The conveying assembly 220 includes a displacement module 221, a rotation module 532222, and a picking component 230 connected in sequence. The displacement module 221 can move the workpiece from the transfer seat 240 to the forming table 260 and the feeding position 215 sequentially through the picking component 230, and place the workpiece on the loading seat 505 when the loading seat 505 is in the feeding position 215. The rotation module 532222 can rotate the picking component 230 and the workpiece when the picking component 230 is holding the workpiece. The rotation module 532222 is communicatively connected to the control system. The displacement module 221 can realize the planar transfer of the workpiece between different workstations. The rotation module 532222 can drive the workpiece to rotate at an angle while the picking component 230 is holding the workpiece. It can cooperate with the forming result of the forming table 260 to accurately adjust the circumferential posture of the workpiece, further improving the positional accuracy of the workpiece installation. The rotating module 532222 is connected to the control system, which can automatically calculate the required rotation angle based on the detection data of the transducer 240 and the detector 280, thereby realizing automated control of posture correction without manual adjustment, which improves the intelligence and adjustment efficiency of the feeding process.

[0027] In terms of specific components, the displacement module 221 can adopt a linear module with a linear guide rail structure to improve the smoothness of operation and positional accuracy during the transfer process; the rotation module 532222 can adopt a servo rotary cylinder or a stepper motor driven rotary platform to adapt to different rotational accuracy requirements; the material picker 230 can adopt a vacuum nozzle or a pneumatic gripper, which can be selected according to the material and shape characteristics of the workpiece.

[0028] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 A shaping position 263 is provided in the middle of the shaping table 260, and multiple shaping grippers 265 are movably mounted on the side of the shaping table 260. The conveying assembly 220 can drive the workpiece to move and place it in the shaping position 263. Each shaping gripper 265 surrounds the workpiece at the shaping position 263 and can push and press the workpiece from multiple directions. After the workpiece is placed in the shaping position 263, the multiple shaping grippers 265 can simultaneously push and correct the workpiece from different directions, which can correct the position and posture deviation of the workpiece from multiple dimensions, ensuring that the workpiece is finally in the standard shaping position 263 posture, providing a precise position reference for subsequent installation processes.

[0029] Furthermore, a flexible pad made of elastic material can be installed on the clamping end face of the forming jaw 265 to increase the contact area between the jaw and the workpiece while avoiding rigid contact that could scratch the workpiece surface. A lifting drive can also be installed below the forming table 260 to drive the forming table 260 to lift as a whole, which, in conjunction with the picking and placing action of the conveying component 220, shortens the picking and placing stroke and improves the efficiency of loading and unloading.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6 The dispensing mechanism 300 includes a three-axis displacement device 310 mounted on the machine base 100. The three-axis displacement device 310 is connected to a dispensing syringe 350. When the conveying mechanism 500 moves the workpiece to the dispensing mechanism 300 via the loading seat 505, the three-axis displacement device 310 can move the dispensing syringe 350 closer to the workpiece and apply glue to it. The three-axis displacement device 310 enables the dispensing syringe 350 to move flexibly in three-dimensional space. It can precisely adjust the position and angle of the dispensing syringe 350 according to the shape of the workpiece and the dispensing path requirements, ensuring that the glue is accurately applied to the designated area of ​​the workpiece, thus improving dispensing accuracy and quality.

[0031] In terms of specific components, the three-axis displacement device 310 can be a linear module combination driven by a servo motor to ensure the repeatability of the dispensing position; the dispensing syringe 350 can be used with a pressure dispensing controller to accurately control the dispensing volume and speed, avoiding overflow or insufficient dispensing.

[0032] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 7 The conveying mechanism 500 includes multiple indexing plates 580, which are sequentially distributed along the conveying direction. A transverse movement module 530 is positioned between adjacent indexing plates 580. The transverse movement module 530 is sequentially connected to a rotating module and a connecting seat 533. The connecting seat 533 is equipped with multiple handling fixtures 535 for gripping the loading seat 505. The handling fixtures 535 can retrieve the loading seat 505 from the indexing plate 580 or place the loading seat 505 on the indexing plate 580. The transverse movement module 530, in conjunction with the rotating module and the handling fixtures 535, enables smooth transfer of the loading seat 505 between adjacent indexing plates 580. Simultaneously, the rotating module can adjust the orientation of the loading seat 505 during transfer, ensuring that the loading seat 505 matches the position of the corresponding workstation after entering the next indexing plate 580. This eliminates the need for additional turning stations, simplifying the workstation layout.

[0033] In terms of specific components, the transverse module 530 can be a linear module driven by a linear motor or a synchronous belt drive, adapting to different transfer speeds and load requirements; the handling fixture 535 can adopt a pneumatic gripper or clamping structure, and the corresponding clamping method can be selected according to the shape characteristics of the loading seat 505 to ensure the stability of the transfer process.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 8 The fixture mechanism 400 includes a transfer mechanism 480 and a fixture base 460 mounted on the machine base 100. The fixture base 460 is used to load fixtures. The transfer mechanism 480 can move the workpiece from the bottom platen 520 to the fixture base 460, or move the fixture from the fixture base 460 to the top platen 510. The fixture base 460 is equipped with a mounting mold head 450 and a push cylinder 470. The push cylinder 470 can move the mounting mold head 450. When the transfer mechanism 480 moves the workpiece to the fixture base 460, the mounting mold head 450 can push the workpiece and mount it onto the fixture. The transfer mechanism 480 can transfer both the workpiece from the bottom platen 520 to the fixture base 460 and the fixture from the fixture base 460 to the top platen 510. Therefore, two transfer functions can be achieved with one mechanism, reducing the need for independent transfer devices, simplifying the equipment structure, and lowering costs. The fixture base 460 is equipped with a mounting mold head 450 and a push cylinder 470. The push cylinder 470 drives the mounting mold head 450 to push the workpiece, which can smoothly press the workpiece into the fixture, ensuring that the workpiece is installed in place and preventing the workpiece from shifting during subsequent transfer and capping.

[0035] Regarding specific components, the push cylinder 470 can be replaced with a servo electric cylinder for more precise control of the push stroke and force, adapting to fixtures and workpieces with different assembly tightness. The mounting mold head 450 can be configured as a replaceable structure, allowing for the replacement of the appropriate mold head according to the specifications of the fixture and workpiece, thus improving the versatility of the fixture mechanism 400. Furthermore, fixture positioning pins and clamping components can be added to the fixture base 460, automatically clamping and positioning the fixture after placement, ensuring the fixture's position is fixed during workpiece installation.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 8 The transfer mechanism 480 includes a multi-axis displacement device 410, which is connected to multiple transfer fixtures 420. A single transfer fixture 420 can reverse the workpiece, while multiple transfer fixtures 420 can work together to reverse the fixture. The multi-axis displacement device 410 can move the transfer fixtures 420 in multi-dimensional space, meeting the transfer needs of workpieces and fixtures at different heights and positions. A single transfer fixture 420 can complete the picking, placing, and flipping of workpieces, and the orientation of the workpiece can be adjusted according to assembly requirements to adapt to different installation requirements. Multiple transfer fixtures 420 used together can stably clamp larger fixtures, ensuring the balance and stability of the fixture transfer process and preventing internal workpiece displacement due to fixture tilting. By flexibly combining the number of fixtures, the transfer mechanism 480 can simultaneously meet the transfer needs of both workpieces and fixtures, improving its reusability and reducing the need for dedicated transfer components.

[0037] In terms of specific components, the multi-axis displacement device 410 can adopt a gantry-type multi-axis motion platform to improve load capacity and operational stability; the transfer fixture 420 can adopt a pneumatic gripper with a tilting cylinder to achieve stable clamping and angle tilting of workpieces or fixtures.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 9 The top plate 510 is equipped with a telescopic cylinder 645, which is connected to the bracket 640 and can drive the bracket 640 to move. The telescopic cylinder 645 can move the bracket 640 outside the top plate 510 to pick up and place the fixture. The telescopic cylinder 645 can also move the bracket 640 between the bottom plate 520 and the loading seat 505, causing the bracket 640 and the loading seat 505 to be misaligned. The telescopic cylinder 645 can drive the bracket 640 to extend outside the top plate 510, facilitating the picking up and placing of the fixture at the fixture position, avoiding interference between the movement of the top plate 510 and the bottom plate 520, and ensuring smooth fixture picking and placing. After the bracket 640 completes the jig loading and unloading, the telescopic cylinder 645 can drive the bracket 640 to retract to the position between the bottom plate 520 and the loading seat 505. The bracket 640 and the loading seat 505 are misaligned, which will not affect the normal rotation of the loading seat 505 on the bottom plate 520, and can make full use of the space between the two plates, thus improving the space utilization rate of the equipment.

[0039] In terms of specific components, the telescopic cylinder 645 can be replaced with a linear module or an electric push rod, depending on the load size and telescopic accuracy requirements; the bracket 640 can be equipped with anti-slip pads and positioning bosses to improve the stability of the fixture after placement and prevent the fixture from sliding or shifting during transportation.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to the figures, the capping mechanism 600 includes a planar displacement device 610 disposed on the machine base 100. The planar displacement device 610 is connected to a pressing driver 620, and the pressing driver 620 is connected to a capping mold base 630. The planar displacement device 610 can drive the capping mold base 630 to move planarly via the pressing driver 620. The capping mold base 630 is loaded with a cap plate. The pressing driver 620 can drive the capping mold base 630 to move, and when the fixture moves to the capping mechanism 600, it installs the cap plate onto the fixture. The planar displacement device 610 can drive the capping mold base 630 to move in a plane, realizing the alignment of the cap plate loading and capping position. The pressing driver 620 can drive the capping mold base 630 to press vertically downward, smoothly installing the cap plate onto the fixture, completing the final capping process.

[0041] In terms of specific components, the planar displacement device 610 can adopt a two-axis linear module to achieve flexible movement in the plane; the pressing drive 620 can adopt a cylinder or a servo electric cylinder, and the appropriate driving method can be selected according to the pressing force and precision requirements; the capping mold base 630 can be set as a replaceable structure, and the appropriate mold base can be replaced for different specifications of fixtures and caps to improve the compatibility of the capping mechanism 600.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
