Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor spring dispensing technology, and in particular to an inductor spring dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Early inductor spring dispensing equipment had a limited and unspecific clamping method for inductor springs. As inductor springs have become more widely used in electronic devices, their size has decreased and precision requirements have increased. Traditional rigid clamping methods are prone to damaging the springs, causing issues such as clamping marks and deformation. This not only affects the appearance of the inductor springs but may also lead to a decline in their electrical performance, ultimately impacting the stability and reliability of the entire electronic device. To address the drawbacks of rigid clamping, the industry has gradually adopted flexible clamping technology, typically using rubber pads on the clamping components. However, this method introduces new problems. While overly soft rubber pads can prevent hard damage to the inductor springs to some extent, the springs are prone to getting stuck on the pads after clamping. In continuous production, this results in inconsistent material output and frequent jamming. Each jamming requires manual intervention, reducing production efficiency, increasing labor costs, and potentially affecting product quality stability due to inconsistent manual operation. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example: See Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses an inductor spring dispensing device, comprising a base 1, a first guide rail 2 on one outer wall of the base 1, a first linear motor 3 mounted on the first guide rail 2, a guide rod on the other outer wall of the base 1, two fixing plates symmetrically mounted on the first linear motor 3 and the guide rod, a rotating rod 4 passing between the two fixing plates, a clamping assembly on the rotating rod 4, and a gantry frame 5 fixedly connected to the middle of the outer walls on both sides of the base 1, a second linear motor mounted on the gantry frame 5, a third linear motor mounted on the second linear motor, and a dispensing pen 6 mounted on the third linear motor. The clamping assembly is driven by the first linear motor 3 to move laterally along the first guide rail 2, and the rotation adjustment of the rotating rod 4 enables fully automatic conveying of the spring from the material picking station to the dispensing station and then to the unloading station; the second linear motor 3 on the gantry frame 5... A linear motor and a third linear motor work together to control the vertical and lateral displacement of the dispensing pen 6, forming a three-dimensional positioning system to ensure the accuracy of the dispensing path. The clamping assembly includes two electric grippers 7 symmetrically mounted on the rotating rod 4. Two clamping plates 8 are fixedly attached to the outer wall of the grippers of the two electric grippers 7. Rubber pads are provided on the clamping surfaces of the two clamping plates 8. The symmetrically arranged electric grippers 7 flexibly clamp the spring sheet through the clamping plates 8 with rubber pads to avoid surface damage. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, the clamping assembly rotates synchronously to meet the pick-up and put-down angle requirements of the tilted spring sheet. One end of the rotating rod 4 is coaxially fixed to a drive motor mounted on the outer wall of one of the two fixed plates. The drive motor directly drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, so that the clamping assembly can adjust the horizontal angle of the spring sheet in real time during the lateral movement to adapt to the dispensing position alignment requirements of irregularly shaped spring sheets.

[0020] In this invention, gears 9 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two electric grippers 7. A rack 10 is provided on one side of the gear 9, and guide grooves are provided on both sides of the rack 10. The guide grooves are fixedly connected to the electric grippers 7. A connecting rod is provided at the top of the rack 10 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the two clamping plates 8. When the electric grippers 7 are in the unloading state, the clamping plates 8 are over-opened and drive the connecting rod to drive the rack 10 to move along the guide groove. The rack 10 meshes with the gears 9, forcing the gears 9 to rotate. The opening action of the clamping plates 8 directly drives the rack 10 to move. The rotation of the gears 9 is linked to the subsequent ejection mechanism to achieve forced disengagement of the spring sheet during unloading, avoiding the problem of material jamming caused by the rubber pad adsorption. One end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably provided on the top surface of the rack 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the ejector rod through a rotating shaft. 12. One end of the push rod 12 is located between the opposite surfaces of the two clamping plates 8 and is provided with a top plate. When the gear 9 rotates, the connecting rod 11 deflects along the displacement trajectory of the rack 10, pushing the push rod 12 to slide towards the center of the clamping plate 8, so that the top plate squeezes the edge of the spring on the rubber pad. The rotation of the gear 9 is converted into a linear thrust of the push rod 12 through the connecting rod 11, which actively pushes out the spring during the unloading stage, eliminating the residual adhesion between the elastic material and the workpiece, and ensuring the reliability of unloading. A limit groove is opened on the outer wall of the electric gripper 7, and the other end of the push rod 12 is slidably set in the limit groove. When the push rod 12 is pushed by the connecting rod 11, the limit groove restricts the sliding direction of the push rod 12, and when the top plate is displaced to the maximum stroke, the end of the push rod 12 contacts and locks with the inner wall of the limit groove. The limit groove guides the movement of the push rod 12 in a directional manner to prevent deflection.

[0021] Working principle: When this utility model is used, the first linear motor 3 drives the clamping assembly to move laterally along the first guide rail 2 to the material picking station. The electric gripper 7 closes, and the two clamping plates 8 with rubber pads flexibly clamp the spring sheet. At the same time, the drive motor drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate to adjust the horizontal angle of the spring sheet. Then, the first linear motor 3 moves the spring sheet to the dispensing station below the gantry frame 5. The second and third linear motors work together to control the vertical and horizontal positions of the dispensing pen 6 to achieve accurate positioning and complete the dispensing. After the dispensing is completed, the electric gripper 7 executes the material release command. The clamping plate 8 opens and drives the fixed rack 10 to move along the guide groove. The gear 9 is driven to rotate by the rack 10. Through the connecting rod 11, it pushes the top rod 12 to slide towards the center of the clamping plate 8. The top plate at the end of the top rod 12 forcibly pushes the spring sheet on the rubber pad to the unloading area. The movement of the top rod 12 is constrained by the limiting slide groove to prevent excessive displacement. After the unloading is completed, the clamping assembly resets and enters the next working cycle.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
