Description

A terminal feeding device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coil production equipment technology, and in particular to a terminal feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] A coil is an electronic component typically made of wound wire. It possesses inductive properties, impeding changes in current. In circuits, it can be used for filtering, energy storage, and voltage transformation. Common types include air-core coils and iron-core coils, which are widely used in electronic equipment, power systems, and other fields.

[0003] Coil terminals are components that connect the coil to external circuits, allowing for convenient and reliable electrical connections between the coil and other components or circuits.

[0004] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some existing terminals, after being stamped from a metal sheet, they are not directly removed from the sheet. Instead, the metal sheet is cut during the stamping process, leaving a portion of the metal sheet between the terminals to maintain their connection. Compared to individual, scattered terminals, these interconnected terminals are less likely to be lost, scattered, or damaged during transportation. They can be neatly stacked or placed in specific containers, reducing deformation and wear caused by collisions or shaking, thus ensuring the quality and performance of the terminals.

[0005] However, these interconnected terminals need to be cut off individually before use. Currently, the terminals are usually punched off using a punch press on the production floor, and then fed using a vibratory feeder. However, because the coil terminals are long and narrow, they are prone to deformation during the vibratory feeding process due to vibration and other factors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a terminal feeding device to solve the problem of terminal deformation that may occur during the vibratory feeder feeding process.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a terminal feeding device, comprising: a terminal cutting device and a feeding device. The terminal cutting device is used to cut off terminals. The feeding device is used to install the cut terminals onto a coil.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal moving device includes a base, a slide rail, a first movable block, and a first power device. The slide rail is fixedly installed on the base, and a first sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the first movable block. The first sliding groove cooperates with the slide rail, and the first power device pushes the first movable block to move along the first slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the first power unit is a cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the lateral moving device includes a second slide groove, a second movable block, and a second power device.

[0011] Preferably, the second power unit is a cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping device is a pneumatic gripper, and the pneumatic gripper has a groove that matches the contour of the terminal.

[0013] Preferably, the terminal cutting device is a stamping device.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3-8, this utility model provides a terminal feeding device, including a terminal cutting device and a feeding device. The terminal cutting device is used to cut off the terminals. The feeding device is used to install the cut-off terminals onto the coil.

[0035] The terminal cutting device is a stamping device. The stamping device cuts individual terminals from the terminal block using a stamping process. The terminal cutting device includes a lower die 210, an upper die 220, a first support 200, a second support, and a lifting device 250. The second support includes columns 230 and a top plate 240. A rectangular array of columns 230 is located at the bottom of the top plate 240, and the rectangular array of columns 230 of the second support is also located at the bottom of the top plate 240. This structure provides stable support for the entire terminal cutting device.

[0036] As shown in Figures 3-6, the lifting device 250 is installed on the top surface of the top plate 240. The lifting device 250 is a cylinder. The top plate 240 has a through hole for the telescopic rod of the lifting device 250 to pass through. The telescopic rod of the lifting device 250 passes through the through hole from top to bottom. The movable end of the telescopic rod of the lifting device 250 is fixedly connected to the upper mold 220. The lifting device 250 and the upper mold 220 are fixedly connected. Driven by the lifting device 250, the upper mold 220 can move up and down to cooperate with the lower mold 210, thereby realizing the stamping and cutting of the connection point between the terminals. The first bracket 200 is set below the top plate 240, the lower mold 210 is installed on the first bracket 200, and the upper mold 220 is set directly above the lower mold 210.

[0037] As shown in Figures 5-6, the lower mold 210 extends towards the feeding device to form a transition platform. The transition platform provides a transition area for the cut-off terminal. The cut-off terminal falls on the transition platform, and part of the cut-off terminal is on the outside of the transition platform, which is convenient for the clamping device to grasp. This facilitates the connection between the two devices and improves the smoothness of the entire feeding process.

[0038] As shown in Figures 4-5, a waste trough 201 is provided below the lower die 210, and a waste channel 211 is provided on the lower die 210. With the waste trough 201 below the lower die 210 and the waste channel 211 on the lower die 210, waste generated during terminal cutting can fall directly into the waste trough 201 through the waste channel 211. This facilitates centralized collection and processing of waste, maintains a clean working environment, and prevents waste accumulation from interfering with the operation of the device, thereby improving the device's efficiency and service life.

[0039] As shown in Figures 7-8, the feeding device is located on one side of the terminal cutting device. The feeding device includes a longitudinal moving device, a transverse moving device, and a clamping device. The longitudinal moving device drives the transverse moving device, and the clamping device is mounted on the transverse moving device to hold the terminals. This structural design allows the clamping device to move in both longitudinal and transverse dimensions. Through this multi-dimensional flexible movement, the clamping device can accurately reach the transition table of the terminal cutting device, pick up the cut terminals, and precisely place the terminals at designated positions on the coil.

[0040] In this embodiment, the longitudinal moving device includes a base 100, a slide rail 110, a first movable block 120, and a first power device 130. The slide rail 110 is fixedly mounted on the base 100. The bottom of the first movable block 120 has a first sliding groove that cooperates with the slide rail 110. The first power device 130 pushes the first movable block 120 to move along the first slide rail 110. The first power device 130 is a cylinder.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lateral movement device includes a second slide groove 121, a second movable block 140, and a second power device 150. The second slide groove 121 is formed on the first movable block 120. A slider is provided at the bottom of the second movable block 140, and the slider cooperates with the second slide groove 121. The second power device 150 pushes the second movable block 140 to move along the second slide groove 121. The second power device 150 is a cylinder.

[0042] The lateral moving device is mounted on the first movable block 120 of the longitudinal moving device, forming an organic whole with the longitudinal moving device. The first movable block 120 performs longitudinal movement, while the second movable block 140 moves laterally on the first movable block 120. The two work together to enable the clamping device mounted on the second movable block 140 to move flexibly in the plane, thereby reaching the target position more accurately and realizing the accurate picking up and placement of the terminal onto the coil, improving the overall operational flexibility and accuracy of the feeding device.

[0043] The clamping device is a pneumatic gripper 160, which uses compressed air as a power source and is typically driven by a cylinder, featuring a fast response speed. When it is necessary to grip a terminal, the pneumatic gripper 160 can move quickly to clamp the terminal; and when placing the terminal on the coil, it can release quickly, greatly improving the efficiency of gripping and releasing, thereby improving the working efficiency of the entire feeding device and meeting the speed requirements in the production process.

[0044] As shown in Figure 8, the pneumatic gripper 160 has grooves 161 that mate with the contour of the terminal. Two terminals are cut at a time, for installation on the positive and negative terminals of the coil; therefore, two grooves 161 are required on the pneumatic gripper 160. The grooves 161 on the pneumatic gripper 160 fit snugly against the terminal's shape. This ensures a large and uniform contact area between the pneumatic gripper 160 and the terminal during gripping, resulting in more precise terminal gripping and preventing the terminal from shaking or slipping during the gripping process. This guarantees the stability and accuracy of the terminal during transfer and installation, improving the precision of material feeding and product quality.

[0045] 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 changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
