[0002] In the manufacturing process of inductors, winding is a critical step, requiring precise loading of inductor components into a fixture for subsequent winding operations. An efficient and stable loading mechanism is crucial for ensuring winding quality and improving production efficiency.

This method is not only inefficient and unable to meet the high-speed requirements of modern production lines, but also prone to inaccurate placement and inconsistent orientation of inductor components due to the randomness of manual operation, thus affecting the quality stability of subsequent winding processes. Furthermore, prolonged repetitive operations can easily lead to worker fatigue, further reducing the accuracy and consistency of loading. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more automated loading solutions to replace manual operations. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the inductor feeding mechanism of this utility model includes a feeding component 10, a transfer component 20, and a clamping fixture 30, which is used for feeding inductors. The feeding component 10 supplies inductors, the transfer component 20 transfers the inductors in the feeding component 10 to the clamping fixture 30, and the clamping fixture 30 clamps the inductors to facilitate the subsequent winding process.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The feeding assembly 10 includes a vibratory feeder 11, a feeding track 12, a vibrating seat 13, and an alignment module 14. The feeding track 12 has a feeding end 12a and a discharging end 12b. The feeding end 12a extends into the vibratory feeder 11 and connects with the spiral material channel inside the vibratory feeder 11. The vibrating seat 13 is located at the bottom of the feeding track 12. The inductor to be supplied is placed in the vibratory feeder 11. Under the action of vibration, the inductor moves along the spiral material channel and enters the feeding track 12. At the same time, under the action of vibration of the vibrating seat 13, the inductor moves along the feeding track 12 from the feeding end 12a to the discharging end 12b. The alignment module 14 includes a base frame 141 and a pneumatic slide 142 on the base frame 141. The pneumatic slide 142 is connected to the bottom of the feeding track 12. The pneumatic slide 142 can drive the feeding track 12 to move perpendicular to the feeding direction, thereby adjusting the position of the feeding track 12 to align with the transfer component 20 and ensure the accuracy of the picking position.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The transfer assembly 20 includes a support base 21 located on the side of the feeding track 12, a rotary drive module 22 mounted on the support base 21, a telescopic drive module 23 connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive module 22, and a vacuum suction head 24 located at the execution end of the telescopic drive module 23. Initially, the vacuum suction head 24 is vertical. The telescopic drive module 23 drives the vacuum suction head 24 downwards to pick up the inductor within the feeding track 12. Subsequently, the rotary drive module 22 drives the telescopic drive module 23 to rotate 90 degrees synchronously with the vacuum suction head 24, bringing the vacuum suction head 24 to a horizontal position. Finally, the telescopic drive module 23 drives the vacuum suction head 24 to move horizontally, extending the inductor into the clamping fixture 30.

[0039] Specifically, a support beam is provided on the rear side of the support base 21 to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the support base 21. The support base 21 provides an excellent mounting foundation for the rotary drive module 22, the telescopic drive module 23, and the vacuum suction head 24. At the same time, an angle detection sensor 25 is provided on the support base 21, and the sensing end of the angle detection sensor 25 is provided with a sensing port 251.

[0040] Specifically, the rotary drive module 22 is a motor, which can be either a servo motor or a stepper motor, ensuring rotational accuracy. The rotary drive module 22 is located on the side of the support base 21 away from the feeding track 12. The support base 21 has a through hole 211, through which the output shaft of the rotary drive module 22 passes and connects to the telescopic drive module 23. With this connection structure, the transfer assembly 20 has a reasonable and compact structural design.

[0041] Specifically, the telescopic drive module 23 includes a linear motor 231 and a sliding base 232 connected by a drive. The sliding base 232 has two symmetrically arranged connecting brackets 233. The vacuum suction head 24 is mounted on the connecting brackets 233. The output shaft of the rotary drive module 22 is connected to the side of the linear motor 231 away from the sliding base 232. The linear motor 231 drives the sliding base 232 and the connecting brackets 233 to slide linearly, thereby achieving the telescopic movement of the vacuum suction head 24. A limiting part 234 is provided on one side of the sliding base 232. When the sliding base 232 slides a certain distance relative to the linear motor 231, the limiting part 234 interferes with the linear motor 231 to limit the sliding stroke of the sliding base 232. Additionally, a trigger element 235 is provided on one side of the linear motor 231 to cooperate with the sensing slot. When the rotary drive module 22 drives the linear motor 231 to rotate to a preset angle, the trigger element 235 slides tangentially into the sensing slot. At this time, the angle detection sensor 25 senses the entry of the trigger element 235 and outputs a stop signal to the rotary drive module 22. The cooperation between the angle detection sensor 25 and the trigger element 235, and the interference between the limiting part 234 and the linear motor 231, play a role in limiting and positioning the rotation and extension, improving the reliability of the movement and the feeding accuracy.

[0042] Specifically, the vacuum nozzle 24 is a hollow structure with both ends open. One end of the vacuum nozzle 24 is provided with an air pipe connector 241, which connects to an air pipe and is connected to a negative pressure system. During operation, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the vacuum nozzle 24 to pick up the inductance.

[0043] Please see Figures 5 to 7The clamping fixture 30 has at least two elastic clamping arms 31 at its clamping end, and the inner side of each elastic clamping arm 31 forms an inductor receiving cavity 32 for clamping the inductor. The clamping fixture 30 has a movable member 33 that can move along the axial direction of the clamping fixture 30. The movable member 33 has a first direction and a second direction. When the movable member 33 moves along the first direction, it presses the outer side of the elastic clamping arm 31, causing the elastic clamping arm 31 to contract radially inward to clamp the inductor. When the movable member 33 moves along the second direction, it expands radially outward to shrink the inductor.

[0044] Specifically, the movable component 33 is arranged in a ring shape. The inner circular surface of the movable component 33 has a first conical surface 331, and the outer wall of the elastic clamping arm 31 has a second conical surface 311. When the movable component 33 moves along the first direction, the first conical surface 331 presses against the second conical surface 311, causing the elastic clamping arm 31 to move inward. It also includes a pusher 34 and a linear drive module 35 (motor) connected for drive connection. The outer side of the movable component 33 has a protrusion that cooperates with the pusher 34. Simultaneously, a metal spring 36 is provided on the outer side of the clamping end of the clamping fixture 30. One end of the metal spring 36 is connected to the protrusion, and the other end is connected to the clamping fixture 30. In its natural state, the elastic force of the metal spring 36 drives the movable component 33 to move along the first direction, allowing the elastic clamping arm 31 to clamp the inductor. When it is necessary to release the inductor, the linear drive module 35 drives the pusher 34 to move along the axial direction of the clamping fixture 30, so that the movable part 33 squeezes the metal spring 36 to move in the second direction, so that the elastic clamping arm 31 releases the inductor.

[0045] Compared to existing technologies, the inductor feeding mechanism of this invention achieves automatic and orderly arrangement and conveying of inductors through the coordinated operation of the vibratory feeder 11 and the feeding track 12. Combined with the transfer component 20, which has a combined rotational and telescopic motion, it significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of inductor feeding. The combined design of the rotation drive module 22 and the telescopic drive module 23 allows the vacuum suction head 24 to move flexibly in three-dimensional space, ensuring precise transfer from the feeding track 12 to the clamping fixture 30 while optimizing the equipment layout space. The specially designed clamping fixture 30, through the conical mating structure of the movable part 33 and the elastic clamping arm 31, achieves precise control of inductor clamping, effectively avoiding damage to miniature inductors caused by traditional clamping methods. The mating mechanism of the angle detection sensor 25 and the trigger 235 provides reliable protection for rotational positioning, while the alignment module 14 at the bottom of the feeding track 12 further ensures the accuracy of the pickup position. The mechanism has a compact overall structure and coordinated functional modules, which can improve the feeding speed and positioning accuracy, while reducing the breakage rate of inductors during the transfer process, thus providing a high-quality material supply guarantee for the subsequent winding process.

[0046] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
