Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of inductor processing, and in particular to an inductor pin processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of inductors, it is often necessary to bend the inductor leads to meet different installation requirements.

[0003] Existing inductor lead bending devices mostly employ a relatively simple fixing method when fixing inductors, making it difficult to adapt to various inductor shapes, such as horizontal and vertical inductors. Insufficient fixing stability for inductors of different shapes leads to inductor displacement or warping during lead bending, severely affecting the bending effect and efficiency, and reducing product quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] An angle adjustment assembly includes a gear and a rack. The rack is movably connected to the wall of the placement groove, and the gear is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate. The rack meshes with the gear to allow the limiting plate to rotate within the placement groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the limiting plate is provided with an installation groove, and the connecting shaft of the gear is connected to the groove wall of the installation groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the workbench is also provided with a rack mounting groove, which is located on one side of the placement groove and communicates with the placement groove. One end of the rack passes through the rack mounting groove and meshes with the gear.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the inductor pin processing apparatus 1 provided in this application includes:

[0030] The workbench 10 is provided with a plurality of placement slots 11 for placing inductors;

[0031] A clamping assembly 20 is disposed in the placement groove 11 and includes two symmetrically distributed limiting plates 21. The two limiting plates 21 move relative to each other to clamp the inductor.

[0032] An angle adjustment component 30 includes a gear 31 and a rack 33. The rack 33 is movably connected to the wall of the placement groove 11, and the gear 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 21. The rack 33 meshes with the gear 31 to make the limiting plate 21 rotate within the placement groove 11.

[0033] This application utilizes a rotatable limiting plate 21 and an angle adjustment assembly 30, employing the meshing transmission principle of gear 31 and rack 33, to allow the limiting plate 21 to rotate and adjust flexibly within different angle ranges. This design effectively adapts to the housing contours of inductors of different shapes, such as horizontal and vertical types, solving the problem of existing devices having a single fixing method and difficulty in adapting to various inductor shapes. This greatly improves the adaptability of the device to inductors of different shapes and expands its application range. Furthermore, the symmetrically distributed limiting plates 21 achieve clamping through relative movement, and the spacing can be adjusted according to the inductor size, further enhancing the flexibility of fixing.

[0034] The workbench 10 is equipped with several placement slots 11 for placing inductors. The number and size of the placement slots 11 can be designed according to actual production needs, and are used to position the inductors at their initial positions. The workbench 10 serves as the support platform for the entire device, providing an installation reference for the clamping assembly 20 and the angle adjustment assembly 30. The shape of the placement slots 11 matches the bottom contour of the inductor, initially defining the horizontal position of the inductor, facilitating subsequent clamping operations. The pre-set placement slots 11 ensure that the inductors maintain a uniform initial posture during processing, improving processing consistency. Multiple placement slots 11 allow for simultaneous processing at multiple stations, improving production efficiency.

[0035] The clamping assembly 20 includes two symmetrically distributed limiting plates 21 located within the placement groove 11, which can move relative to each other horizontally (closer or further apart). The bidirectionally moving limiting plates 21 apply pressure to the inductor from both sides, thus securing the inductor. The symmetrical structure allows for adjustable spacing according to the inductor's width, making it suitable for inductors of different sizes (such as horizontal inductors of varying widths).

[0036] The angle adjustment assembly 30 includes a gear 31 and a rack 33. The gear 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 21 and is installed in the mounting groove 211 of the limiting plate 21 via a connecting shaft, allowing it to rotate around the shaft. The rack 33 is movably connected to the groove wall of the placement groove 11, with one end penetrating the placement groove 11 and meshing with the gear 31, and the other end extending into the rack mounting groove 13 of the worktable 10. Rotating the rack 33 (linear motion) drives the gear 31 to rotate, thereby causing the limiting plate 21 to rotate around its axis, changing the tilt angle of the limiting plate 21. The meshing relationship between the rack 33 and the gear 31 converts the displacement of the rack 33 into the rotation angle of the limiting plate 21, achieving quantitative adjustment of the angle. The limiting plate 21 can rotate to different angles to accommodate inductors with different housing contours, such as horizontal (flat) and vertical (upright) inductors, solving the problem of "single fixing method and inability to adapt to complex shapes" in the prior art. The gear 31 and rack 33 transmission has a defined transmission ratio. The rotation angle of the limiting plate 21 can be precisely controlled by controlling the movement distance of the rack 33, thereby improving the fixation fit. The gear 31 and rack 33 transmission has a simple structure and smooth transmission. Compared with pneumatic or hydraulic transmission, it is easier to maintain and has a lower cost, making it suitable for industrial mass production scenarios.

[0037] The workflow is as follows: The inductor is placed into the placement slot 11 of the worktable 10 for initial positioning. Depending on the inductor's shape (e.g., horizontal or vertical), the limiting plate 21 is rotated to a suitable angle using the angle adjustment assembly 30, ensuring its inner wall conforms to the inductor's outer shell contour. The two limiting plates 21 are then driven to move relative to each other, clamping the inductor with a flexible silicone pad to ensure no displacement during processing.

[0038] Furthermore, the side wall of the limiting plate 21 is provided with an installation groove 211, and the connecting shaft of the gear 31 is connected to the groove wall of the installation groove 211.

[0039] A mounting groove 211 is provided on the side wall of the limiting plate 21 to fix the connecting shaft of the gear 31, providing a stable mounting base for the gear 31. This allows the gear 31 to rotate reliably around the fixed shaft when meshing with the rack 33, avoiding transmission jamming or shaking of the limiting plate 21 caused by unstable mounting structure. This design enhances the structural reliability of the angle adjustment assembly 30, ensuring that the limiting plate 21 remains stable during rotation, thereby improving the stability and adjustment accuracy of the entire device.

[0040] Furthermore, the workbench 10 is also provided with a rack mounting groove 13, which is located on one side of the placement groove 11 and communicates with the placement groove 11. One end of the rack 33 passes through the rack mounting groove 13 and meshes with the gear 31.

[0041] The rack mounting slot 13 provides guidance and support for the rack 33, enabling it to move smoothly in a fixed direction. Simultaneously, its connection with the placement slot 11 ensures accurate meshing between the rack 33 and the gear 31. This structural design prevents the rack 33 from shifting or wobbling during movement, guaranteeing the reliability of the gear-rack-33 transmission and making the angle adjustment of the limiting plate 21 smoother and more precise. Furthermore, the independent mounting slot 211 facilitates the installation and maintenance of the rack 33, enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0042] Furthermore, the rack mounting groove 13 has a guide groove 15 formed in the horizontal direction on its groove wall. The angle adjustment assembly 30 also includes a connecting nut 35 and a connecting bolt 37. The outer wall of the connecting nut 35 is provided with a guide block 36. The guide block 36 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 15. One end of the connecting bolt 37 is rotatably connected to one end of the rack 33. The connecting bolt 37 is engaged with the connecting nut 35. Rotating the connecting bolt 37 drives the rack 33 to move.

[0043] The threaded drive between the connecting bolt 37 and the nut converts manual rotational motion into horizontal linear motion of the rack 33, achieving precise control over the movement of the rack 33. The cooperation between the guide groove 15 and the guide block 36 restricts the direction of movement of the connecting nut 35, preventing it from rotating during bolt rotation and ensuring that the rack 33 moves only horizontally, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the transmission. This design allows operators to fine-tune the position of the rack 33 by slowly rotating the bolt, thereby precisely controlling the rotation angle of the limit plate 21 and adapting to the personalized fixing requirements of different inductors.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting groove 211 has guide grooves 15 on both sides of its opposite side wall, and the connecting nut 35 has guide blocks 36 on both sides of its outer wall, with one guide block 36 slidably inserted into one guide groove 15.

[0045] The cooperation between the double-sided guide grooves 15 and the guide blocks 36 forms a symmetrical guide structure, which ensures that the connecting nut 35 is uniformly constrained during movement, effectively resisting lateral forces and preventing nut tilting or jamming caused by unilateral force. This design further enhances the smoothness of the rack 33's movement, ensuring uniform force distribution when the gear 31 and rack 33 mesh, thereby improving the control accuracy of the limit plate 21's rotation angle. It is especially suitable for scenarios requiring frequent angle adjustments, extending the device's service life.

[0046] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the rack mounting groove 13 is provided with a positioning groove 131 along its extension direction, and the other end of the rack 33 is connected to a positioning pin 38, which is slidably inserted into the positioning groove 131.

[0047] The engagement of the positioning groove 131 and the positioning pin 38 provides a sliding guide for the other end of the rack 33, forming a double-end positioning structure. This further restricts the degree of freedom of the rack 33 during movement, ensuring that it moves only linearly along the extension direction of the mounting groove 211. This design effectively avoids the swaying or offset that may occur due to single-end support of the rack 33, improving the rigidity and stability of the entire angle adjustment assembly 30. Especially when it needs to withstand a large clamping force, it can reduce structural deformation and ensure the reliability of the angle adjustment of the limit plate 21.

[0048] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly 30 also includes a rotating handle 39, which is connected to the other end of the connecting bolt 37.

[0049] The rotating handle 39 provides the operator with a direct point of force application. By expanding the operating radius, it reduces the torque required to rotate the connecting bolt 37, making the angle adjustment process more effortless and convenient. Compared to directly rotating the bolt, the rotating handle 39 allows for faster angle adjustment and facilitates precise control of the number of rotations, thereby improving adjustment efficiency. This design reflects the ergonomic optimization of the device and is particularly suitable for production scenarios requiring frequent adjustments to the fixed angle of the inductor.

[0050] Furthermore, flexible silicone pads are provided on the opposite side surfaces of the two limiting plates 21.

[0051] The flexible silicone pad is placed between the limiting plate 21 and the inductor to form an elastic buffer layer. This not only increases the contact area and clamping force through the elastic deformation of the silicone, but also prevents rigid contact from causing indentations or damage to the inductor shell, making it particularly suitable for precision inductors with easily damaged surfaces. Furthermore, the flexibility of the silicone can adapt to the slight irregular contours of the inductor shell, further improving the fit and stability of the fixation and reducing inductor displacement problems caused by rigid clamping.

[0052] Furthermore, the surface of the flexible silicone pad that contacts the inductor has anti-slip texture.

[0053] The anti-slip texture significantly increases the friction between the silicone pad and the inductor by increasing the roughness of the contact surface, effectively preventing the inductor from slipping or lifting during lead bending. This design further enhances the fixing stability on the basis of flexible clamping, and is especially suitable for processing scenarios that require large bending forces, ensuring that the inductor maintains a fixed posture during processing, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of lead bending and reducing the scrap rate.
