Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor production equipment, in particular to automatic tin dipping equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of electronic components, tinning is a common and necessary process to improve the conductivity of wire pins and prevent oxidation. By immersing the wire pins in molten tin, a uniform and stable tin layer is formed, thereby improving their conductivity and soldering performance. However, traditional tinning equipment has many practical problems, resulting in unsatisfactory tinning results.

[0040] To address the issue of tin scraping, a scraper assembly 55 for scraping away the oxide film on the surface of the tin solution is provided on one side of the tin pot 52. The scraper assembly 55 includes a scraper plate 551 and a scraper drive 552 for driving the scraper plate 551 upward and downward, and reciprocating into the tin pot 52. The scraper drive 552 preferably includes a vertically mounted cylinder and an inwardly and outwardly mounted cylinder. Furthermore, a waste tin liquid collection box 553 is detachably connected to one side of the tin pot 52 to facilitate the collection and disposal of the waste tin liquid, maintaining a clean environment and a tidy working environment.

[0041] Through the coordinated work of the above components, the tin immersion device 5 of the present invention can realize automated, efficient and high-quality tin immersion operations, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and improving product consistency and reliability.

[0042] The test device 6 of the present invention provides real-time monitoring and testing capabilities, ensuring that the tinning quality of each wire pin meets standards. Specifically, the test device 6 includes a test frame 61, which is equipped with a test table 62. Several conductive pads 621 are arranged on the test table 62. These conductive pads 621 are connected via electrical cables to a test instrument for measuring coil parameters, including but not limited to coil continuity and resistance.

[0043] A push-down member 63 is located above the test bench 62. The main function of the push-down member 63 is to press the coil pins on the fixture 3 downward, causing them to contact the corresponding conductive sheet 621, thereby enabling testing. To enable the push-down member 63 to move up and down, it is connected to a push-down drive device 631 for driving it up and down. The push-down drive device 631 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder arranged in the vertical direction. This design ensures that the push-down member 63 can perform the lifting action smoothly and accurately.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to ensure precise contact between the coil pins and the conductive sheet 621, a positioning fork 64 for fine-tuning the inner and outer positions of the coils on the fixture 3 is provided above the test bench 62. The positioning fork 64 is used to make subtle adjustments to the position of the coils during the test to ensure that each coil is accurately positioned.

The fine-tuning drive device 641 preferably includes a vertically arranged cylinder and an inward and outward arranged cylinder. This design can provide the positioning fork 64 with sufficient flexibility and precision to complete the fine-tuning task.

[0045] The test device 6 of the present invention, through the coordinated operation of the above components, can monitor and test the coils in real time after the tinning process. This design not only improves testing efficiency but also greatly increases the reliability and accuracy of the test, helping to ensure that the tinning quality of each coil meets high standards.

[0046] The unloading device 7 typically includes a retrieving gripper for removing coils from the fixture 3, a retrieving drive mechanism for raising and lowering the gripper and moving it in and out, preferably including a vertically mounted cylinder and an inwardly mounted cylinder, and a conveyor assembly. This unloading mechanism allows processed coils to be quickly and safely transported to the next process step, ensuring efficient operation of the entire automated tinning system.

[0047] In summary, the automatic tin immersion equipment of this embodiment not only realizes the full automation of the tin immersion process, improves production efficiency and product quality, but also takes into account the convenience and flexibility of operation in design, fully meeting the diverse needs of the modern electronic manufacturing industry.
