Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inductor manufacturing equipment, specifically relating to an automated feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated inductors are electronic components widely used in electronic devices. They mainly consist of metal sheets and coils. During the production process, the coils need to be soldered onto the metal strip one by one at intervals. After the soldering is completed, the strip is transported to the cutting mechanism and cut into sheets of a specific length.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the cut sheets are conveyed one by one to the unloading tray. Due to the irregular stacking of a large number of sheets in the unloading tray, the coils and sheets are easily damaged or deformed, which further affects the processing efficiency and quality of the inductor in the next step. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automated unloading device, including a frame 1. The frame 1 includes a conveyor platform 11 and a fixed plate 12 arranged sequentially. The conveyor platform 11 and the fixed plate 12 are fixed together by a support member 13, forming an installation gap between them for mounting drive parts. The conveyor platform 11 is provided with a channel 2 for sliding a transport vehicle 3. The channel 2 is composed of a first slide rail 23, a loading position 21, a pushing position 22 and a second slide rail 24 in sequence according to the moving direction of the vehicle 3. In this embodiment, the loading position 21 and the pushing position 22 are arranged side by side on the same side of the conveyor platform 11.

[0037] During installation, the loading position 21 in the unloading device is set at the discharge end of the cutting mechanism 8. A feeding mechanism 9 is provided between the unloading device and the cutting mechanism 8. The feeding mechanism 9 is used to clamp and transport the welded and cut material to the loading position 21. Preferably, it is a clamping device such as a robotic arm.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, the carrier 3 includes a sliding plate 31 and a plurality of positioning pins 32 mounted on the sliding plate 31. The sliding plate 31 is provided with at least one fixing position 33 for fixing the sheet material. Since the sheet material has a plurality of holes, when the sheet material is placed in the fixing position 33, the four positioning pins 32 are inserted and fixed in the holes, thereby fixing the sheet material. At the same time, since the positioning pins 32 extend upward, stacking the sheet material upwards can achieve uniform and orderly stacking of each sheet material, effectively avoiding uneven stress on the sheet material and coil parts due to irregular stacking, which can lead to bending or damage. Furthermore, by setting up multiple movable carriers 3, the sheet material can be discharged in batches, effectively avoiding a large accumulation of sheet material, preventing further increase in the downward pressure of gravity between the sheet material and aggravating the degree of bending or damage.

[0039] In actual production, in order to improve the load-bearing capacity of a single carrier 3, multiple fixed positions 33 can be set on the sliding plate 31; at the same time, independent blister trays can also be set between adjacent material pieces of a fixed position 33, and the adjacent material pieces are separated by the support of two adjacent blister trays, thereby avoiding direct compression between the material pieces and causing deformation of the material pieces.

[0040] Furthermore, a clamp 4 for clamping and fixing the carrier 3 is slidably connected in the channel 2. The clamp 4 can move and switch between the loading position 21 and the pushing position 22, so that the carrier 3 located in the loading position 21 can be transported to the pushing position 22. The frame 1 is also provided with a pushing mechanism 5 for pushing the carrier 3 located in the pushing position 22 into the second slide rail 24.

[0041] When loading, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, multiple unloaded carriers 3 are sequentially placed in the first slide rail 23 by manual or automated means. Then, the carriers 3 slide from the first slide rail 23 to the loading position 21. The clamp 4 holds and fixes the carrier 3, and under the action of the feeding mechanism 9, loading is performed, so that multiple material pieces are sequentially and vertically loaded into the fixed position 33 of the carrier 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (7A-7B in the text); After the carrier 3 completes loading, the clamp 4 clamps and moves the carrier 3 to the push position 22. Then, the clamp 4 opens and stops clamping the carrier 3. Next, the push mechanism 5 pushes the carrier 3 into the second slide rail 24, thereby completing the loading (e.g., 7A-7B in the text). Figure 8 (8A-8B in the middle); the subsequent loading steps are repeated in sequence, thereby realizing the production line of material sheets, batch-by-batch high-quality and high-efficiency feeding;

[0042] It should be noted that in practical applications, in addition to using clamps 4 and pushing mechanisms 5 to move the carrier 3, a transmission belt can also be set in the channel 2, or the first material channel and the second material channel can be set at an inclination, so that the carrier 3 can slide automatically under the action of gravity, realizing automatic sliding switching between different workstations.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, the pushing mechanism 5 includes a first driving member 51 mounted on the frame 1 and a push plate 52 mounted on the output shaft of the first driving member 51. The push plate 52 is provided with a pushing part 521 corresponding to the sliding plate 31. When started, the pushing part 521 abuts against the side wall of the sliding plate 31, and under the driving action of the first driving member 51, the push plate 52 pushes the carrier 3 out towards the second slide rail 24.

[0044] To further improve the pushing stability of the pushing part 521 and the carrier 3, the pushing part 521 is provided with a first positioning groove 522 corresponding to the end edge of the sliding plate 31, so that when the pushing part 521 pushes the sliding plate 31, it can stably engage the sliding plate 31 through the first positioning groove 522 and simultaneously drive the carrier 3 to slide out.

[0045] Furthermore, the front edge of the push position 22 is provided with a clearance groove 221 corresponding to the push part 521. Before pushing the carrier 3, the push plate 52 is disposed on the outer side of the front end of the push position 22, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the carrier 3 between the loading position 21 and the push position 22. When pushing, the push part 521 of the push plate 52 passes through the clearance groove 221 from the outside of the push position 22 and enters the push position 22 to abut against the sliding plate 31.

[0046] Preferably, the push plate 52 is further provided with a recess 523 that is positioned to avoid the edge of the conveyor table 11 and the clamp 4, and the first drive member 51 is preferably a cylinder or lead screw structure.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 11-13 As shown, the channel 2 is provided with a first sliding groove 25 that penetrates the bottom of the loading position 21 and the pushing position 22. The clamp 4 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 25. The side wall of the conveyor table 11 is also provided with an clearance position 111 corresponding to the first sliding groove 25, which is used to avoid the movement and opening and closing of the clamp 4 and avoid interfering with the clamping and movement of the carrier 3.

[0048] Furthermore, the clamp 4 includes a clamping assembly 42 for clamping the carrier 3 and a second driving member 41 for driving the clamping assembly 42 to move; the second driving member 41 is mounted on the fixed plate 12, preferably a cylinder or lead screw structure. In this embodiment, the second driving member 41 includes a motor 411 and a rotating shaft 412 (located in...). Figure 12 The motor 411 has an internal component and a slider 413. The output shaft of the motor 411 is connected to the rotating shaft 412 via a belt drive. The bottom of the slider 413 is connected to the lead screw of the rotating shaft 412, and the top is fixedly connected to the clamping assembly 42. This allows the motor 411 to drive the slider 413 and the clamping assembly 42 to move laterally along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 412.

[0049] Preferably, in order to detect and position the moving position of the clamping assembly 42, a detection switch 414 is provided below the loading position 21 and the pushing position 22, and a detection piece 43 corresponding to the detection switch 414 is provided on the slider 413 or the clamping assembly 42; that is, when the detection piece 43 moves to the corresponding detection switch 414 and triggers the sensing, the control console can receive the current sliding position of the clamp 4, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the staff and real-time production tracking.

[0050] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 42 includes a finger cylinder 421 and two symmetrically arranged "L"-shaped clamping arms 422. The two clamping arms 422 are respectively arranged on the two output shafts of the finger cylinder 421. By opening and closing the finger cylinder 421, the opening and closing of the clamping arms 422 is driven to control the clamping and fixing of the carrier 4.

[0051] Furthermore, the inner side of the clamping arm 422 is provided with a semi-arc-shaped protrusion 423, and the edge sidewall of the sliding plate 31 is provided with a groove 311 corresponding to the protrusion 423; through the interlocking arrangement of the protrusion 423 and the groove 311, the clamping stability of the clamp 4 and the carrier 3 is further improved.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 14-15 As shown, in order to improve the sliding stability and convenience of the carrier 3 moving from the first slide rail 23 to the loading position 21, a second sliding groove 26 is provided at the bottom of the first slide rail 23. A flat pushing mechanism 6 for pushing the carrier 3 located in the first slide rail 23 into the loading position 21 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 26. The flat pushing mechanism 6 includes a flat pushing member 62 extending from the installation gap through the second sliding groove 26 into the first slide rail 23, and a third driving member 61 for driving the flat pushing member 62 to move along the extension direction of the first slide rail 23. Through the setting of the third driving member 61 and the flat pushing member 62, the automatic sliding of the carrier 3 between the first slide rail 23 and the loading position 21 is realized, making loading more efficient and convenient.

[0053] Furthermore, the third driving component 61 can be a cylinder or a lead screw structure. In this embodiment, the driving component 61 is preferably a lead screw structure and is threadedly connected to the push component 62. By driving the driving component 61, the push component 62 is stably translated under the action of the lead screw and pushes the carrier 3 in an unloaded state.

[0054] Preferably, in order to improve the pushing stability of the pusher 62 and the carrier 3, the pusher 62 is provided with a second positioning groove 621 corresponding to the end edge of the sliding plate 31, so that when the pusher 62 pushes the sliding plate 31, it can stably engage the sliding plate 31 through the second positioning groove 621 and simultaneously drive the carrier 3 to slide out.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order to further improve the automation efficiency of the feeding device and facilitate real-time monitoring by the staff, sensors 7 for detecting the carrier 3 are provided on the loading position 21 and at the end of the second slide 24. When the carrier 3 moves from the first slide 23 to the loading position 21, the sensors 7 are triggered, causing the clamp 4 to clamp and fix the carrier 3, and the feeding mechanism 9 to synchronously convey the material. When the sensors 7 do not detect the carrier 3, the clamp 4, the cutting mechanism 8 and the feeding mechanism 9 are not activated to avoid feeding conflicts.

[0056] When the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the carrier 3 from the pushing position 22 to the second slide 24, the carrier 3 that has just entered the second slide 24 will push the carrier 3 already placed in the second slide 24 one by one and move towards the end of the second slide 24. If the sensor 7 located at the end of the second slide 24 is triggered, it means that the carrier 3 of the second slide 24 is full. After the control console receives the signal, it can unload the material manually or automatically by machine, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0057] Preferably, the sensing element 7 can be a micro-touch switch, an infrared switch, or a distance sensor, etc.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the cutting mechanism 8, the feeding mechanism 9, and the unloading device together form an unloading production line. In this embodiment, a dual unloading production line is designed side by side, which saves space and further increases production efficiency. In actual applications, the number of unloading production lines can be determined according to actual production needs.

[0059] The following is a detailed explanation of the working principle of this utility model;

[0060] During loading, several unloaded carriers 3 are placed in the first slide rail 23 and slid one by one to the loading position 21 under the pushing action of the flat pushing mechanism 6. At this time, the feeding mechanism 9 stacks the material pieces cut by the cutting mechanism 8 onto the carriers 3 one by one. When the carriers 3 are fully loaded, under the clamping and moving action of the clamp 4, the carriers 3 move to the pushing position 22, and then move to the second slide rail 24 under the pushing action of the pushing mechanism 5, thereby realizing the orderly stacking of material pieces and batch feeding.

[0061] The innovation of this utility model lies in the fact that the positioning pin structure on the carrier enables the orderly stacking of multiple material pieces, thereby ensuring uniform force distribution among the material pieces and preventing deformation or damage. At the same time, the coordinated operation of the flat pushing mechanism, the clamp, and the push mechanism enables the orderly movement of multiple carriers within the channel, thereby achieving batch feeding of multiple sets of material pieces and further improving the feeding efficiency and quality of the material pieces.

[0062] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0063] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
