Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inductor production equipment, in particular to baking equipment for an inductor automated production line. Background Art

[0002] Inductors are essential components in electronic products and are widely used in a wide range of electronic devices. Gluing and baking are two key steps in the inductor production process. Gluing secures the coil and provides insulation, while baking ensures rapid curing of the glue, ensuring the inductor's performance and reliability.

[0003] Currently, baking equipment commonly used in inductor production, such as those disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN 215940497U and Chinese invention patent application CN 117287948 A, typically uses a conveyor belt or chain to transport the inductors, allowing them to bake while being transported. While this traditional conveyor structure achieves a certain degree of automated production, it still presents the following problems:

[0004] 1) Slow conveying speed: Due to the need to ensure sufficient baking time, the moving speed of the conveyor belt or chain is often slow, which directly affects production efficiency.

[0005] 2) Low production efficiency: Slow transmission results in a limited number of inductors that can be processed per unit time, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0006] 3) Long baking tunnel: To ensure that the inductor is fully baked, it is usually necessary to design a longer baking tunnel, which not only increases the overall size of the equipment but also reduces the thermal energy utilization efficiency.

[0007] 4) High cost: Long baking tunnels mean more heating elements and insulation materials, which increases the manufacturing and operating costs of the equipment.

[0008] 5) Large footprint: Longer baking tunnels require larger installation space, which creates difficulties in factory layout and space utilization.

[0009] 6) High energy consumption: Since the baking tunnel is long, a large amount of space needs to be heated continuously, resulting in unnecessary energy waste.

[0010] 7) Difficulty in temperature control: The temperature distribution in a long baking tunnel may be uneven, making it difficult to accurately control the baking temperature of each inductor, which may affect the consistency of product quality.

[0011] 8) High maintenance cost: Conveyor belt or chain systems require regular maintenance and replacement, which increases equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

[0012] These problems not only affect the efficiency and quality of inductor production, but also increase production costs and limit the competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings. The present invention is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a baking device for an automated inductor production line. The device primarily comprises a frame 1, a swing assembly 2, a loading assembly 3, a baking assembly 4, a cooling assembly 5, a discharge assembly 6, and a pusher assembly 7. These components work together to achieve the automated baking process for the inductors. The following details the structure and function of each component.

[0039] ① Swinging component

[0040] The swing component 2 is the core part of the entire device, used to carry and transmit inductance. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown, the swing assembly 2 includes a plurality of load-bearing slide rails 21 arranged on the frame 1 along the front-back direction. The upper end surface of each load-bearing slide rail 21 forms a load-bearing surface 211, which is designed to allow the inductor to ride on it and slide back and forth on it.

[0041] This design has the following advantages:

[0042] a) Direct stability: The inductor can be directly and stably placed on the carrying rail 21 for transmission without the need for additional inductor fixtures, thereby reducing production costs.

[0043] b) Wide applicability: It is suitable for inductors of various sizes, which increases the versatility of the equipment and is more suitable for the needs of automated production lines.

[0044] c) High transmission efficiency: The inductor can slide smoothly on the bearing surface 211, which is beneficial to improving the transmission efficiency.

[0045] To further improve the stability of the inductor during transportation, a barrier rod 22 is provided above both sides (i.e., the left and right sides) of each load-carrying slide 21 in the longitudinal direction. These barrier rods 22 can effectively prevent the inductor from tilting on the load-carrying slide 21, ensuring the safety of the transportation process.

[0046] Furthermore, to prevent the inductor from slipping off the carrier rail 21 during transport, limit blocks 23 are provided at the front and rear ends of the carrier rail 21. These limit blocks 23 not only prevent the inductor from accidentally leaving the carrier rail 21 but also serve as starting and ending points for inductor transport, facilitating control of transport distance.

[0047] ②Pushing component

[0048] The pusher assembly 7 is the key part to realize the automatic transmission of inductance. Figure 2-Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pusher assembly 7 includes a pusher bracket 71, a plurality of pusher plates 72 laterally spaced apart on the pusher bracket 71, and a driving device 73 for driving the pusher bracket 71 to move up and down and forward and backward.

[0049] Each push plate 72 is equipped with multiple push forks 74. During material pushing, these push forks 74 rise and extend from bottom to top into the swing assembly 2, pushing the inductor on the swing assembly 2 forward synchronously. After pushing is completed, the push plate 72 and push forks 74 descend and return to wait for the next push. This design achieves intermittent, integrated advancement of the inductor, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0050] The specific structure of the push fork 74 is as follows:

[0051] a) Each push fork 74 includes an upwardly extending inserting plate 741 and a fork head 742 provided at the upper end of the inserting plate 741 .

[0052] b) Push fork 74 is divided into two types:

[0053] - Single-fork push fork 74a: provided at both ends of the corresponding push plate 72, with a fork 742.

[0054] - Double-pronged push fork 74b: located in the middle of the corresponding push plate 72 and having two prongs 742.

[0055] In order to ensure that the push forks 74 can smoothly pass through the bearing slide rail 21 , a first avoidance opening 75 is provided between two adjacent push forks 74 on each push plate 72 for avoiding the bearing slide rail 21 .

[0056] The drive unit 73 comprises two main parts:

[0057] a) Lifting driver 731: used to drive the pusher bracket 71 to move up and down, preferably a cylinder.

[0058] b) Pushing driver 732: used to drive the pushing bracket 71 and the lifting driver 731 to move forward and backward as a whole, preferably a cylinder or a ball screw pair.

[0059] The pusher driver 732 is provided on the frame 1 , the lifting driver 731 is provided at the output end of the pusher driver 732 , and the pusher bracket 71 is provided at the output end of the lifting driver 731 . This hierarchical structure ensures the flexible movement of the pusher assembly 7 .

[0060] To ensure smooth and accurate forward and backward movement of the pusher bracket 71, a guide device is provided between the pusher bracket 71 and the frame 1. This guide device includes guide rails 711 provided along the forward and backward directions of the pusher bracket 71, and sliders 11 provided on the frame 1. The sliders 11 slide in conjunction with the corresponding guide rails 711 to ensure the accurate movement trajectory of the pusher bracket 71.

[0061] The innovative design of the pusher assembly 7, and in particular the working method of the pusher fork 74, brings the following advantages:

[0062] a) Flexible movement: The push fork 74 can move forward and backward and lift and lower under the load-bearing slide rail 21. This multi-degree-of-freedom movement capability makes the pushing process more flexible and accurate.

[0063] b) Intermittent overall advancement: The pusher assembly 7 can intermittently push all the inductors on each load-bearing slide rail 21 forward as a whole. This synchronous advancement method ensures that the moving speed and distance of all inductors remain consistent, which is conducive to precise control of subsequent processes, such as uniform heating.

[0064] c) High degree of automation: The design of the pusher assembly 7 enables the inductor to automatically enter the baking tunnel at the baking assembly 4 and automatically unload the material. This highly automated operation greatly reduces manual intervention and improves the continuity and stability of production.

[0065] d) Rapid entry and exit of the baking tunnel: Through the precise control of the pusher assembly 7, the inductors can quickly and orderly enter and exit the baking tunnel. This rapid turnover significantly improves baking efficiency and reduces production bottlenecks.

[0066] e) Significantly improved production efficiency: Thanks to the automated and rapid movement of inductors in and out of the baking tunnel, the production efficiency of the entire production line has been significantly improved. This not only increases output per unit time but also reduces downtime in the production process.

[0067] f) Strong adaptability: The design of the pusher assembly 7 can easily adapt to inductors of different sizes and weights, allowing the production line to flexibly respond to the needs of different products.

[0068] g) Precise Control: The intermittent propulsion mode of the pusher assembly 7 allows for precise control of the residence time of the inductor in the baking tunnel, thereby ensuring that each inductor receives proper baking treatment.

[0069] h) Space saving: Compared with the traditional continuous conveyor belt design, this intermittent propulsion method can achieve the same baking effect in a shorter baking tunnel, thereby saving the floor space of the production line.

[0070] ③Other components

[0071] a) Loading component 3

[0072] The loading assembly 3 is responsible for placing the inductor on the swing assembly 2. It includes a loading clamp, a first left and right drive device (preferably a ball screw sliding module) for driving the loading clamp to move left and right, and a loading driver (preferably a cylinder) for driving the loading clamp to move up and down.

[0073] A material receiving assembly is also provided in front of the feed assembly 3, comprising a feed trough for carrying the inductor and a feed driver (preferably a cylinder) for driving the feed trough to move forward and backward. This feed assembly can be used as a buffer zone for the inductor to enter the feed assembly 3.

[0074] b) Baking component 4

[0075] The baking assembly 4 is the core component of the induction baking process. It comprises a heating hood 41 positioned above the swing assembly 2, and a heating element within the interior of the heating hood 41 (preferably a heating lamp located at the top of the hood 41). The heating element is preferably connected to a temperature measurement assembly and a control assembly for precise control of the baking temperature. To facilitate maintenance and cleaning, the sides of the heating hood 41 are hinged to the frame 1, allowing it to open and close.

[0076] c) Cooling assembly 5

[0077] The cooling assembly 5, located behind the baking assembly 4, is used to cool the inductor after baking. It includes a heat sink mounted above the support rails 21. The heat sink is equipped with several cooling fans facing the support rails 21. This design allows for quick and effective cooling of the inductor, preparing it for subsequent processing steps.

[0078] d) Blanking component 6

[0079] The structure of the unloading assembly 6 is similar to that of the loading assembly 3, including a unloading jaw, a second left-right drive device (preferably a ball screw sliding module) for driving the unloading jaw left and right, and an unloading actuator (preferably a cylinder) for driving the unloading jaw up and down. It is responsible for removing the baked and cooled inductor from the swinging assembly 2.

[0080] Through the coordinated work of the above components, the baking equipment for the inductor automated production line of the present invention can realize automatic loading, baking, cooling and unloading of inductors, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring consistency of product quality.
