[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a hook includes a needle body 1 and a cylindrical ceramic block 2. The upper end of the needle body 1 is connected to a hook 3, which bends towards the lower end of the needle body 1. The hook 3 and the upper end of the needle body 1 form a hooking space 4. The ceramic block 2 is fixedly disposed in the hooking space 4. The axis of the ceramic block 2 is in the same plane as the axial line of the hook 3, and the axis of the ceramic block 2 intersects with the axis of the needle body 1. When the needle body 1 moves axially to hook copper wire under the drive of a corresponding driving device, the outer arc surface of the ceramic block 2 will replace the hook 3 to contact the copper wire, thereby avoiding direct wear on the inner side of the hook 3. The wear-resistant ceramic block 2 has a longer service life, which can avoid frequent replacement of hooks in the winding machine and improve the production efficiency of inductor coils.

[0026] In one embodiment, a slot is provided at the upper end of the ceramic block 2, and a locking block is provided on the inner side of the connection end between the hook 3 and the needle body 1. During assembly, the ceramic block 2 can be locked and fixed in the hook space 4 by locking the locking block and the slot (not shown in the figure).

[0027] Furthermore, the hook 3 includes a first bending portion 11 and a second bending portion 12. The first bending portion 11 is formed by bending the upper end of the needle body 1 to one side, and the second bending portion 12 is formed by bending the end of the first bending portion 11 away from the needle body 1 downward. The upper end of the needle body 1, the first bending portion 11 and the second bending portion 12 enclose the hook space 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the ceramic block 2 is a hollow structure with both ends open. A limiting post 13 is provided in the hooking space 4. One end of the limiting post 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the needle body 1, and the other end of the limiting post 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the hook 3 away from the needle body 1. There is an angle between the axis of the limiting post 13 and the axis of the needle body 1, which is between 80 degrees and 90 degrees. The ceramic block 2 is fitted on the limiting post 13. The limiting post 13 not only connects the upper end of the needle body 1 to the end of the hook 3 away from the needle body 1, thus strengthening the structural stability of the hook 3, but also provides stable support for the ceramic block 2 when the lower side wall of the ceramic block 2 contacts the copper wire, making the ceramic block 2 hook the copper wire more powerfully.

[0029] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the limiting post 13 is circular, and the ceramic block 2 is coaxially sleeved on the limiting post 13 and can rotate around the limiting post 13 so that the ceramic block 2 can rotate during the process of hooking the copper wire, which facilitates uniform wear on its circumference.

[0030] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the limiting post 13 is a regular polygon or an irregular shape. The ceramic block 2 is fitted onto the limiting post 13, and the contour of its inner wall matches that of the limiting post 13, so as to restrict the rotation of the ceramic block 2 relative to the limiting post 13 and fix the ceramic block 2 on the limiting post 13.

[0031] Furthermore, the needle body 1, hook 3, and limiting post 13 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength of the three, enhance the tensile strength of the hook 3, and extend the service life of the hook 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the needle body 1, the hook 3, and the limiting post 13 are all made of plastic so that the ceramic block 2 can be fitted onto the limiting post 13 while the three are being injection molded, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0033] Furthermore, the needle body 1 has a built-in strip-shaped metal reinforcing core (not shown in the attached figure). The metal reinforcing core is arranged along the length direction of the needle body 1. The upper end of the metal reinforcing core passes through the limiting post 13 and is arranged in the same direction as the limiting post 13. The metal reinforcing core can also be directly fixed in the needle body 1 and the limiting post 13 during injection molding. This can improve the structural strength of the needle body 1 and the limiting post 13, enhance the tensile strength of the limiting post 13 in the axial direction of the needle body 1, and extend the service life of the limiting post 13.

[0034] Furthermore, the surface of ceramic block 2 is smooth to reduce friction between the surface of ceramic block 2 and the copper wire, thereby reducing wear on both.

[0035] Furthermore, the cross-section of ceramic block 2 is circular, so that the copper wire can slide along the arc-shaped outer wall of ceramic block 2 during the process of hooking the copper wire, making the hooking process smoother.

[0036] Furthermore, the lower end of the needle body 1 has a hexagonal cross-section so that the lower end of the needle body 1 can be inserted into the slot corresponding to the moving end of the drive device (not shown in the figure). The rotation of the needle body 1 is restricted by the slot whose contour matches the lower end of the needle body 1, which plays a role in assisting the circumferential positioning of the needle body 1.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower end of the needle body 1 is provided with a connecting hole 14 along the axial direction. The screw on the movable end of the drive device can be screwed into the connecting hole 14, thereby connecting the needle body 1 to the connecting hole 14 through the screw and fixing it on the movable end of the drive device.

[0038] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this utility model 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 specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
