The terms "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. "A plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0047] To illustrate the technical solutions described in this application, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment first provides an automated inductor assembly equipment 100, which is used to apply adhesive between a base 00A and a cover plate 00B, and to assemble the base 00A and the cover plate 00B to obtain an inductor 00E.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the automated inductor assembly equipment 100 includes: a first feeding module 1, a second feeding module 2, a first turntable assembly 3, a second turntable assembly 4, and a dispensing module 8. The first feeding module 1 is used to transport bases 00A, and the second feeding module 2 is used to transport cover plates 00B. The first turntable assembly 3 is rotatably mounted on a platform 9, and it receives bases 00A from the first feeding module 1 and drives the bases 00A to rotate. The dispensing module 8 is located around the first turntable assembly 3 and is used to sequentially dispense adhesive onto each base 00A. The second turntable assembly 4 is rotatably mounted on the platform 9, and it receives cover plates 00B from the second feeding module 2 and drives the cover plates 00B to rotate. The first turntable assembly 3 also receives cover plates 00B from the second turntable assembly 4 onto the dispensed bases 00A. Thus, on the first turntable assembly 3, the cover plates 00B can be bonded to the dispensed bases 00A.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first feeding module 1 includes at least one feeding tray 11 and a straight rail 13. The feeding tray 11 is used to support the base 00A. One end of the straight rail 13 is connected to the feeding tray 11, and the other end is connected to the first turntable assembly 3. The straight rail 13 is used to drive multiple bases 00A to translate along the first direction.

[0051] The inductor automated assembly equipment 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a first feeding module 1 comprising at least one feeding tray 11 and a straight rail 13. The base 00A arranged in the feeding tray 11 is translated along the first direction by the straight rail 13, which reduces the jumping, collision and friction caused by vibration during the feeding process of the base 00A. The feeding and conveying of the base 00A is more stable, which can significantly reduce the risk of damage to the base 00A, and thus help improve the finished product qualification rate of the inductor 00E.

[0052] Since the length (dimension along the first direction) of the straight rail 13 is greater than its width (dimension perpendicular to the first direction), in order to facilitate the installation of the straight rail 13 and its cooperation with the first turntable assembly 3, and to reduce the overall size of the inductor automated assembly equipment 100, in this embodiment, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the first loading module 1 also includes a swing arm mechanism 14, which is disposed between the end of the straight rail 13 and the first turntable assembly 3. This mechanism is used to pick up the base 00A and place it onto the first turntable assembly 3 in a swinging manner. The swing arm mechanism 14 allows the straight rail 13 to be arranged without being aligned radially with the first turntable assembly 3. This allows the straight rail 13 to be arranged relative to the first turntable assembly 3 in a suitable manner, resulting in a more regular projection of the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 on the ground, with less variation in length and width, thus improving its adaptability and flexibility for installation on the ground.

[0053] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first feeding module 1 also includes a translation component 12, which is configured to move in one or more directions so that each feeding tray 11 is sequentially aligned with the straight rail 13 for feeding purposes. In a specific embodiment, the translation component 12 is a two-dimensional moving component that can move in two mutually perpendicular directions. Optionally, one of the moving directions is parallel to the first direction.

[0054] Figure 1 As shown, the line connecting the center of the first turntable assembly 3 and the center of the second turntable assembly 4 is set as the first straight line. The angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than 180 degrees, that is, the straight rail 13 is arranged inclined to the first straight line.

[0055] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 150 degrees, so that the straight rail 13 is as inclined as possible to the first straight line and as close as possible to the first turntable assembly 3 and the second turntable assembly 4.

[0056] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 130 degrees.

[0057] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 120 degrees.

[0058] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 110 degrees.

[0059] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 100 degrees.

[0060] Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line can be less than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the first direction and the first straight line is 90 degrees. At this time, the straight rail 13 is perpendicular to the first straight line. In the direction of the first straight line, the straight rail 13, the first turntable assembly 3, and the second turntable assembly 4 have the minimum combined dimensions.

[0062] For ease of description, the second direction is defined below as a direction perpendicular to the first direction on the surface of platform 9, such as... Figure 1 As shown. A third direction is also defined, see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. In practical applications, the first and second directions are horizontal, while the third direction can be vertical. However, this is only an example and for understanding, and does not mean that the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 must be used according to this direction definition.

[0063] As mentioned above, the first straight line is parallel to the second direction.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first turntable assembly 3 includes a first turntable 31 and a plurality of first fixtures 32. The first turntable 31 is rotatably mounted on the platform 9, and the plurality of first fixtures 32 are distributed on the first turntable 31 circumferentially. The first fixtures 32 are used to receive the base 00A conveyed by the swing arm mechanism 14 and to fix the base 00A. The rotation center axis of the first turntable 31 is parallel to a third direction.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first turntable assembly 3 also includes a first drive mechanism 33, which drives the first fixture 32 to open and close. Regarding the configuration of the first drive mechanism 33, those skilled in the art will realize that, in order to reduce the number of structures and power consumption, the first drive mechanism 33 does not necessarily need to be configured for each of the first fixtures 32. The first drive mechanism 33 can be optionally configured at the position where the base 00A reaches the first turntable 31 and at the position where it leaves the first turntable 31; at other positions, the first fixture 32 can maintain its fixation to the base 00A.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first turntable assembly 3 includes a first support member 34 and two first drive mechanisms 33. The first support member 34 is fixedly mounted on the platform 9, and the first turntable 31 is rotatably mounted on the first support member 34. The two first drive mechanisms 33 are fixedly mounted on the first support member 34 and are used to drive the rotating first fixtures 32 to control the opening and closing of the first fixtures 32, that is, to clamp and fix or release the first bases 00A on each of the first fixtures 32.

[0067] Specifically, one of the first drive mechanisms 33 is positioned opposite the swing arm mechanism 14 and is used to drive a first fixture 32 opposite the swing arm mechanism 14 to open, so that each base 00A can be placed on the first fixture 32 after being loaded by the swing arm mechanism 14. Then, the first drive mechanism 33 drives the first fixture 32 to close in the opposite direction. In this way, each base 00A is clamped on the first fixture 32 after being loaded by the swing arm mechanism 14.

[0068] Under the clamping and fixing of the first fixture 32, the base 00A rotates with the first turntable 31 and performs subsequent processes. After the base 00A completes some processes, another first drive mechanism 33 drives the first fixture 32 to open, releasing the base 00A. At this time, other operations on the base 00A are allowed. Specifically, according to the process settings, the other first drive mechanism 33 can be located at the unloading point.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the first drive mechanism 33 includes a first motor 331 and an eccentric wheel 332. The first motor 331 is fixedly mounted on the first support member 34, and the eccentric wheel 332 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 331. The output shaft of the first motor 331 is parallel to the rotation center axis of the first turntable 31. The first fixture 32 includes a fixed block 321 and a movable block 325. The fixed block 321 is fixedly mounted on the first turntable 31, and the movable block 325 is rotatably mounted on the first turntable 31. The rotation center axis of the movable block 325 is parallel to the rotation center axis of the first turntable 31. The first end of the movable block 325 is used to contact the eccentric wheel 332, and the second end of the movable block 325 forms a clamping space between itself and the fixed block 321 for holding the base 00A. Figure 4 As shown, a first reset element 326, such as a spring, is provided between the first end of the movable block 325 and the fixed block 321. When the first motor 331 drives the eccentric wheel 332 to rotate, the first end of the eccentric wheel 332 contacts the movable block 325. The eccentric wheel 332 can press the first end of the movable block 325 toward the fixed block 321, causing the movable block 325 to deflect around its central axis. At this time, the second end of the movable block 325 moves away from the fixed block 321, and the clamping space between the second end and the fixed block 321 expands, allowing the swing arm mechanism 14 to place the base 00A. Then, the first motor 331 continues to drive the eccentric wheel 332 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 332 no longer presses the first end of the movable block 325, and the movable block 325 automatically resets under the action of the first reset element 326. Thus, the second end of the movable block 325 and the fixed block 321 together clamp and fix the base 00A.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, an eccentric wheel 332 may be provided with a roller 333 for rolling contact with the first end of the movable block 325.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 further includes at least one first image detection module 61, which is fixedly installed on the platform 9 and located on the periphery of the first turntable 31. The first image detection module 61 is used to perform image detection on the base 00A to determine whether the appearance, surface, etc. of the base 00A are intact and clean.

[0072] Optionally, the first image detection module 61 can be positioned before the dispensing module 8, after the dispensing module 8, or simultaneously before and after the dispensing module 8. When positioned before the dispensing module 8, the first image detection module 61 can detect the upper surface of the base 00A before dispensing to ensure that the upper surface of the base 00A is intact and free of foreign objects. When positioned after the dispensing module 8, the first image detection module 61 can detect the upper surface of the base 00A after dispensing, not only to ensure that the upper surface of the base 00A is intact and free of foreign objects, but also to determine the dispensing status, such as whether the amount of adhesive is sufficient and whether the position is correct. Preferably, the first image detection module 61 is positioned after the dispensing module 8. Further, the first image detection module 61 can be positioned simultaneously before and after the dispensing module 8, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0073] The specific location of the first image detection module 61 is not limited. For example, if there is sufficient space in the third direction, the first image detection module 61 can be positioned directly above the first fixture 32 for detecting the upper surface of the base 00A. If there is insufficient space in the third direction, the first image detection module 61 can be positioned diagonally above the first fixture 32 for detecting the upper surface of the base 00A at an angle. This application does not impose any particular limitation on this.

[0074] Depending on the type of cover plate 00B, the second feeding module 2 can have different feeding methods. In one embodiment, the second feeding module 2 includes a vibratory feeder 21, which can arrange and feed the cover plates 00B in a certain manner, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0075] Please see Figure 5 As shown, the second turntable assembly 4 includes a second turntable 41 and a plurality of second fixtures 42. Figure 5 (Only one is shown in the image). The second turntable 41 is rotatably mounted on the platform 9. Each second fixture 42 is evenly arranged on the second turntable 41 along its circumference and rotates with the second turntable assembly 4. The second fixture 42 is used to fix the cover plate 00B from the second feeding module 2. The rotation center axis of the second turntable 41 is parallel to the third direction.

[0076] In the third direction, the dispensing module 8 is positioned above the first fixture 32 to dispense adhesive onto the upper surface of each base 00A. Therefore, the second fixture 42 is configured to pick up the cover plate 00B from above the vibratory feeder 21. The second turntable 41 can be configured to be higher than the first turntable 31.

[0077] like Figure 5As shown, the second turntable assembly 4 also includes a second drive mechanism 43 and a second support member 44. The second support member 44 is fixedly mounted on the platform 9, and the second drive mechanism 43 is mounted on the second support member 44 and is used to drive the second fixture 42 to move upward on the third side to approach the second feeding module 2. Figure 5 In the middle, the second fixture 42 includes an adsorption head 420. When the second fixture 42 moves downward close to the cover plate 00B on the second feeding module 2, it can apply an adsorption force to the upper surface of the cover plate 00B, thereby picking up the cover plate 00B.

[0078] Then, as the second turntable 41 rotates, the second fixture 42 drives the cover plate 00B to continue rotating by adsorbing the cover plate 00B.

[0079] The form of the second drive mechanism 43 is not limited, as long as it can realize the reciprocating movement of the second fixture 42 in the third direction.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 further includes a positioning module 73, which is disposed around the second turntable 41 and is used to position the cover plate 00B picked up by the second fixture 42 to ensure that the cover plate 00B has a specific orientation relative to the second fixture 42, thereby ensuring that the cover plate 00B is bonded to the base 00A in the correct orientation.

[0081] In the third direction, the positioning module 73 is positioned below the second fixture 42. Above the positioning module 73, on the second support member 44, a second drive mechanism 43 is also provided to drive the second fixture 42 to move downward and release the cover plate 00B, which can reach the upper surface of the positioning module 73 and be positioned.

[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning module 73 includes a second motor 731, a guide support 733, a rotating support 735, a second reset member 737, and multiple abutment blocks 739.

[0083] The second motor 731 is fixedly mounted on the platform 9, and the guide support 733 is also fixedly mounted on the platform 9. The guide support 733 has multiple guide grooves 7330, with one end of each groove close to the other. The abutment blocks 739 can slide within the guide grooves 7330 to move closer to or further away from each other. The output shaft of the second motor 731 is connected to a rotating support 735 to drive the rotating support 735 to rotate. The rotating support 735 passes through the guide support 733, thus the multiple guide grooves 7330 are also distributed around the rotating support 735. Multiple guide protrusions are provided on the outer circumference of the rotating support 735. A second reset member 737 is used to provide a force that brings the abutment blocks 739 closer together; for example, the second reset member 737 is fitted around the outer circumference of each abutment block 739.

[0084] When the rotating support 735 rotates with the second motor 731, the guide protrusion abuts against the abutment block 739, pushing the abutment block 739 outward along the guide groove 7330. At this time, the space between the adjacent ends of the abutment blocks 739 expands, allowing the second fixture 42 to place the cover plate 00B. Then, the rotating support 735 continues to rotate, the guide protrusion disengages from the abutment block 739, and under the action of the second reset member 737, each abutment block 739 slides along the guide groove 7330 and approaches each other. The adjacent ends of the abutment blocks 739 can clamp the cover plate 00B. By setting the surface of the adjacent ends of the abutment blocks 739, the edge positioning of the cover plate 00B can be achieved.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 also includes a second image detection module 62, which is located around the second turntable 41 and is used to perform image detection on the cover plate 00B, such as determining whether the appearance and surface of the cover plate 00B are intact and clean.

[0086] Optionally, the second image detection module 62 can be positioned before or after the positioning module 73. When positioned before the positioning module 73, the second image detection module 62 can detect the upper surface of the cover plate 00B before shaping and positioning to ensure that the upper surface of the cover plate 00B is intact and free of foreign objects. When positioned after the positioning module 73, the second image detection module 62 can detect the upper surface of the cover plate 00B after positioning. In this embodiment, the second image detection module 62 is simultaneously positioned after the positioning module 73.

[0087] The specific location of the second image detection module 62 is not limited. For example, if there is sufficient space in the third direction, the first image detection module 61 can be located directly below the second fixture 42 for detecting the lower surface of the cover plate 00B; if there is insufficient space in the third direction, the second image detection module 62 can be located diagonally below the second fixture 42 for detecting the upper surface of the cover plate 00B at an angle. This application does not impose any particular limitation on this.

Figure 1 As shown, after the second image detection module 62, the second turntable 41 continues to rotate the cover plate 00B until it aligns with the first fixture 32 on the first turntable 31. At this position, the second drive mechanism 43 drives the second fixture 42 downwards and releases its grip on the cover plate 00B, causing the cover plate 00B to adhere to the surface of the substrate 00A after adhesive application, thus obtaining a semi-finished device. The first turntable 31 and the first fixture 32 continue to rotate the semi-finished device.

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the inductor automated assembly equipment 100 further includes a feeding module 5, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the first turntable 31 for picking up semi-finished components from the first fixture 32.

[0090] Specifically, a first driving mechanism 33 is provided at the position where the first turntable 31 is aligned with the unloading module 5. The first driving mechanism 33 is used to drive the first fixture 32 to open, so that the semi-finished device can be picked up and unloaded by the unloading module 5.

[0091] The specific structure of the material feeding module 5 is not limited. See [link / reference] Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the unloading module 5 includes a third turntable 51, a third fixture 52 disposed on the third turntable 51, and a third drive mechanism 53. The third turntable 51 is rotatably mounted on the platform 9, and the third drive mechanism 53 is used to drive the third fixture 52 to move downward and to drive the third fixture 52 to clamp the semi-finished device from the first fixture 32. After the third fixture 52 successfully clamps the semi-finished device, the third turntable 51 drives the third fixture 52 to continue rotating. The rotation center axis of the third turntable 51 can be selected to be parallel to a third direction.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the unloading module 5 also includes a third support member 57, which is fixed on the platform 9. The third drive mechanism 53 is fixed on the third support member 57 and performs the action of driving the third fixture 52.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, see Figure 8As shown, the third drive mechanism 53 includes a third motor 531 and a first transmission component 533; the third fixture 52 includes a first support 521, a moving shaft 522, a third reset component 523, a fourth reset component 524, a fifth reset component 525, and one or more grippers 526; wherein, the first support 521 is slidably disposed on the third turntable 51 along a third direction, the third reset component 523 is disposed between the first support 521 and the third turntable 51, and is used to provide a force for the first support 521 to move upward; the moving shaft 522 is slidably disposed on the first support 521 along a third direction; the fourth reset component 524 is disposed on the moving shaft 525. Between shaft 522 and first support 521, a force is provided to move shaft 522 upwards. A groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface of shaft 522. The first end of gripper 526 is rotatably mounted on first support 521. The rotation axis of gripper 526 is perpendicular to the axial direction of third turntable 51. The first end of gripper 526 is slidably connected to the outer circumferential surface of shaft 522. The second ends of gripper 526 are close to each other to grip base 00A. Fifth reset member 525 is disposed between the first end of gripper 526 and first support 521, providing a force for the first end of gripper 526 to move closer to shaft 522. The upper end of first transmission member 533 is connected to the output shaft of third motor 531, and the lower end abuts against first support 521 and shaft 522, converting the torque output by the output shaft of third motor 531 into reciprocating movement of first support 521 and shaft 522 in a third direction.

[0094] When the third motor 531 rotates, the first transmission component 533 rotates, pushing the first support 521 downward. The first support 521 drives the moving shaft 522, the fourth reset component 524, the fifth reset component 525, and the gripper 526 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, it compresses the third reset component 523, and the lower end of the gripper 526 gradually approaches the first fixture 32, at which point the gripper 526 remains in a clamping state. The third motor 531 continues to rotate, the first transmission component 533 rotates, and pushes the moving shaft 522 downward. The first end of the gripper 526 enters the groove, causing the other end of the gripper 526 to deflect outward, thus the gripper 526 is in an open state. After the gripper 526 is positioned on both sides of the semi-finished device, the third motor 531 continues to rotate, the first transmission member 533 stops pressing down on the moving shaft 522, and under the action of the fourth reset member 524 and the fifth reset member 525, the moving shaft 522 returns upward relative to the first support 521, and the first end of the gripper 526 disengages from the groove, and the second end of the gripper 526 deflects inward, thus clamping the semi-finished device; the third motor 531 continues to rotate, the first transmission member 533 stops pressing down on the first support 521, and under the action of the third reset member 523, the gripper 526 continues to maintain the state of clamping the semi-finished device, moves upward along with the first support 521, and moves away from the first fixture 32.

[0095] In this way, two actions of the third fixture 52 are achieved simultaneously through a single drive mechanism. The third drive mechanism 53 does not need to be set up one-to-one with the third fixture 52 in the entire third turntable 51 assembly; it only needs to be set at the positions where clamping and pressing are required. This can significantly reduce the number of drive mechanisms and reduce the weight and power consumption of the drive mechanisms.

[0096] like Figure 9 As shown, the first transmission component 533 includes a transmission body 5331, a second support (not shown), a first connecting rod 5337, and a second connecting rod 5338. The second support is fixedly mounted on the third support component 57. The transmission body 5331 is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 531. The transmission body 5331 is provided with a first guide surface 5332 and a second guide surface 5333, both of which are helical surfaces surrounding the output shaft of the third motor 531. The first connecting rod 5337 and the second connecting rod 5338 are configured to slide along the third direction on the second support. The upper end of the first connecting rod 5337 is configured to slide along the first guide surface 5332, and the upper end of the second connecting rod 5338 is configured to slide along the second guide surface 5333. Thus, when the transmission body 5331 rotates, the ups and downs of the first guide surface 5332 and the second guide surface 5333 in the third direction are converted into the movement of the first connecting rod 5337 and the second connecting rod 5338 in the third direction. The first link 5337 is used to push the first support 521 downward, and the second link 5338 is used to move the moving shaft 522 downward.

[0097] After the third fixture 52 successfully picks up the semi-finished part and rotates, at a suitable position, if there is a receiving tray below, the third drive mechanism 53 or the fourth drive mechanism 55 can drive the gripper 526 of the third fixture 52 to release the semi-finished part, allowing it to fall into the receiving tray. The fourth drive mechanism 55 can be relatively simplified; it only needs to be able to drive the gripper 526 to open and close, and it is not necessary to control the downward movement of the third fixture 52. For example, see... Figure 8 As shown, the fourth drive mechanism 55 may include a fourth motor 551 and a second transmission member 552. At this time, a third guide surface 5520 may be provided on the second transmission member 552 to convert the rotation of the fourth motor 551 into the movement of the third fixture 52 in a third direction.

[0098] In this embodiment, the dispensing module 8 and the first image detection module 61 are located on the side of the first turntable 31 opposite to the unloading module 5, that is, on the side of the first straight line. This makes full use of the space around the first turntable 31, allowing for a smaller diameter of the first turntable 31, which is beneficial for reducing the overall size of the inductor automated assembly equipment 100. Furthermore, around the second turntable 41, along the first direction, the second image detection module 62 and the positioning module 73 can be located on the side of the second turntable 41 closer to the unloading module 5, that is, on the other side of the first straight line. The second loading module 2 can be located on the side of the second turntable 41 opposite to the unloading module 5, on the same side as the first loading module 1. This allows the unloading module 5, the second image detection module 62, and the positioning module 73 to fully utilize the space around the second turntable 41, and the diameter of the second turntable 41 can also be set smaller. The inductor automated assembly equipment 100 has a compact module arrangement, short transfer paths between processes, high transfer efficiency, high equipment integration, and a small footprint.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, the line connecting the centers of the first turntable 31 and the third turntable 51 is the second straight line, and the angle between the second straight line and the first straight line is 90 degrees. At this time, the first turntable 31, the second turntable 41, and the third turntable 51 are distributed on the three vertices of a right triangle. This makes the area occupied by the first turntable assembly 3, the second turntable assembly 4, and the third turntable 51 more regular and smaller, and the process arrangement is uniform and concentrated, which is conducive to improving the equipment integration.

[0100] The inductor automated assembly equipment 100 in this embodiment is used to connect to a baking device, and the semi-finished components in the receiving tray are further transported to the baking device for baking.

[0101] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
