Abstract
Description
An inductor appearance inspection device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor processing technology, and specifically to an inductor appearance inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] Ferrite inductors, also known as magnetic rings, are devices in which a coil is wound around a magnetic ring. They are commonly used anti-interference components in electronic circuits and have a good effect on suppressing high-frequency noise. Magnetic ring inductors have different impedance characteristics at different frequencies. Generally, the impedance is very small at low frequencies, and the impedance of the magnetic ring inductor increases sharply as the signal frequency increases.
[0003] After inductor production is completed, before packaging, the inductors undergo an appearance inspection to check for correct markings, damage, contamination, and other defects. Current inductor appearance inspection devices first place the inductors on a loading tray, then a pushing mechanism sequentially pushes them onto a conveyor belt. However, as the pushing mechanism moves the inductors from the loading tray, friction occurs between the inductors and the bottom of the tray, easily causing scratches on the inductor surface. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problem of inductors being easily scratched during the current inductor loading process, this invention provides an inductor appearance inspection device. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:
[0005] An inductor appearance inspection device includes: a machine base and a detection component, a conveyor belt assembly, and a feeding component disposed on the machine base. The feeding component is connected to the conveyor belt assembly and is used to transport inductors into the conveyor belt assembly. The conveyor belt assembly is used to transport inductors. The detection component is disposed above the conveyor belt assembly and is used to inspect the appearance of the inductors on the conveyor belt assembly. The feeding component includes a loading tray, a moving mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The loading tray is disposed on the machine base via the moving mechanism. The loading tray has several stops and several rollers at its bottom. The stops form several guide grooves in the loading tray for placing inductors. The rollers support the inductors in the guide grooves. The pushing mechanism is disposed above the loading tray and is used to push the inductors in the guide grooves into the conveyor belt assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the lower end of the feeding tray is provided with round holes on both sides, and the two ends of the roller shaft are respectively connected to the round holes.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the guide groove is connected to the conveyor belt assembly, and the other end is provided with a limit block.
[0008] Furthermore, adhesive tape is provided on both sides of the guide groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing block, a transmission belt, and a motor. The motor is connected to the transmission belt, and the pushing block is fixedly connected to the transmission belt.
[0010] Furthermore, a sponge block is provided on the side of the push block that contacts the inductor.
[0011] Furthermore, the detection component includes a light source mechanism for emitting a light source and a camera mechanism for capturing images. The light source mechanism is positioned above the conveyor belt assembly, and the camera mechanism is positioned directly above the light source mechanism.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The appearance inspection device for inductors described in this application divides the feeding tray into several guide grooves by using blocks, which facilitates the pushing mechanism to push the inductors into the conveyor belt assembly in sequence; a roller is provided at the bottom of the feeding tray to support the inductors in the guide grooves. When the pushing mechanism pushes the inductors, the friction at the bottom of the inductor feeding tray is reduced, and the bottom of the inductors is less likely to be scratched by the roller, thus improving production quality.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, an inductor appearance inspection device includes: a machine base 1 and an inspection component 2, a conveyor belt assembly 3, and a feeding component 4 disposed on the machine base 1. The feeding component 4 is connected to the conveyor belt assembly 3 and is used to transport inductors 5 into the conveyor belt assembly 3. The conveyor belt assembly 3 is used to transport inductors 5. The inspection component 2 is disposed above the conveyor belt assembly 3 and is used to inspect the appearance of inductors 5 on the conveyor belt assembly 3. The feeding component 4 includes a loading tray 6, a moving mechanism 7, and a pushing mechanism 8. The loading tray 6 is disposed on the machine base 1 via the moving mechanism 7. The loading tray 6 is provided with a plurality of stops 9. The bottom of the loading tray 6 is provided with a plurality of rollers 11. The stops 9 form a plurality of guide grooves 10 in the loading tray 6 for placing inductors 5. The rollers 11 are used to support the inductors 5 in the guide grooves 10. The pushing mechanism 8 is disposed above the loading tray 6 and is used to push the inductors 5 in the guide grooves 10 into the conveyor belt assembly 3. The roller 11 forms the bottom of the guide trough 10. During conveying, the inductor 5 rolls against the roller 11 instead of sliding and rubbing directly against the guide trough 10. This design significantly reduces the risk of scratches on the surface of the inductor 5. Due to the rolling characteristics of the roller 11, the inductor 5 moves more smoothly in the guide trough 10, enabling fast and stable conveying.
[0026] In one embodiment, the lower end of the feeding tray 6 is provided with circular holes 12 on both sides, and the two ends of the roller shaft 11 are respectively connected to the circular holes 12. The feeding tray 6 uses a row of roller shafts 11 to support the inductors 5 in different guide grooves 10, which can reduce the cost of the feeding tray 6. Alternatively, the feeding tray 6 can be provided with a row of roller shafts 11 in each guide groove 10, so that the inductors 5 in different guide grooves 10 are not affected.
[0027] In one embodiment, one end of the guide groove 10 is connected to the conveyor belt assembly 3, and the other end is provided with a limit block 13 to prevent the push block 15 from pushing the inductor 5 to the ground when it is reset.
[0028] In one embodiment, adhesive tape 14 is provided on both sides of the guide groove 10. The adhesive tape 14 has slight elasticity and is relatively smooth, which can reduce the friction between the two sides of the inductor 5 and the two sides of the guide groove 10, and reduce the risk of scratches.
[0029] In one embodiment, the pushing mechanism 8 includes a pushing block 15, a transmission belt 16, and a motor 17. The motor 17 is connected to the transmission belt 16 in a driving manner, and the pushing block 15 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 16.
[0030] In one embodiment, a sponge block 18 is provided on the side of the push block 15 that contacts the inductor 5. The sponge block 18 can reduce the risk of the push block 15 scratching the inductor 5.
[0031] In one embodiment, the detection component 2 includes a light source mechanism 19 for emitting a light source and a camera mechanism 20 for capturing images. The light source mechanism 19 is positioned above the conveyor belt assembly 3, and the camera mechanism 20 is positioned directly above the light source mechanism 19. The light source mechanism 19 enables the camera mechanism 20 to acquire clearer images.
[0032] When the appearance inspection device is in operation, the operator first arranges the inductors 5 into the guide troughs 10. Then, the moving mechanism 7 controls the loading tray 6 to move left and right to connect the outlets of different guide troughs 10 with the conveyor belt assembly 3. After the guide troughs 10 are connected to the conveyor belt assembly 3, the motor 17 drives the transmission belt 16, which in turn drives the push block 15 to move. The push block 15 pushes the last inductor 5 in the guide trough 10 forward. The pushed inductor 5 then moves forward to push the previous inductor 5, thus sequentially pushing the inductors 5 arranged in the guide troughs 10 into the conveyor belt assembly 3. When all the inductors 5 in the guide troughs 10 have been pushed into the conveyor belt assembly 3, the push block 15 returns to its initial position along the transmission belt 16. The moving mechanism 7 then controls the loading tray 6 to move to the right to connect another guide trough 10 with the conveyor belt assembly 3. The conveyor belt assembly 3 will transport the inductor 5 sequentially to the bottom of the detection assembly 2. When the detection assembly 2 detects the inductor 5, it will emit light through the light source mechanism 19, and then capture a picture of the inductor 5 through the camera mechanism 20. The picture of the inductor 5 will then be sent to the computer. Finally, the computer will use the picture of the inductor 5 to determine whether the appearance of the inductor 5 is normal.
[0033] The inductor appearance inspection device described in this application divides the feeding tray 6 into several guide grooves 10 by a stop block 9, which facilitates the pushing mechanism 8 to push the inductor 5 into the conveyor belt assembly 3 in sequence. A roller 11 is provided at the bottom of the feeding tray 6 to support the inductor 5 in the guide groove 10. When the pushing mechanism 8 pushes the inductor 5, the friction at the bottom of the feeding tray 6 is reduced, and the bottom of the inductor 5 is not easily scratched by the roller 11, thereby improving production quality.
