Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor production technology, and in particular to an automatic inductor soldering machine and an inductor production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of inductor components, soldering is a key step to ensure their electrical performance and structural stability. Currently, inductor soldering is mostly carried out using semi-automatic equipment or manual assistance: operators need to take the inductor workpiece out of the material box, manually place it on the fixture at the soldering station, remove it after soldering is completed, transfer it to the cooling area, and finally put it into the unloading box.

[0003] However, this operating mode has obvious drawbacks. On the one hand, it involves many manual steps, which not only increases labor intensity but also makes it easy for the solder to shift position and the solder joints to be uneven in size due to differences in the force of operation and the placement angle, thus affecting product consistency. On the other hand, the inductor after soldering is directly exposed to the air to cool naturally, which is slow and easily affected by the ambient temperature, which may lead to oxidation of the solder joints or stress deformation, reducing the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an automatic inductor soldering machine and a robot dog, which aims to improve the consistency and production efficiency of inductor products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an automatic inductor soldering machine, comprising:

[0006] The machine tool has a loading station, a soldering station and an unloading station;

[0007] A vibratory feeder, which is mounted on the machine base and located at the loading station;

[0008] A soldering mechanism, comprising a base and a heating element, wherein the base is disposed on the machine tool and located at the soldering station, and a first groove and a second groove are provided at intervals on the side of the base facing away from the machine tool, the first groove and the second groove being filled with molten solder and coolant respectively, and the heating element is arranged around the first groove; and

[0009] The transfer mechanism includes a multi-axis robotic arm and a gripping structure. The multi-axis robotic arm is located on the machine base, and the gripping structure is located at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm for gripping inductive workpieces. The multi-axis robotic arm is used to drive the gripping structure to move between the loading station, the soldering station, and the unloading station.

[0010] In one embodiment, the gripping structure includes a mounting base and a clamping portion disposed on the mounting base. The mounting base is disposed at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm, and the clamping portion includes two grippers that can move closer or further apart to grip or release the inductive workpiece.

[0011] In one embodiment, both the first groove and the second groove extend along a first direction;

[0012] The gripping structure includes multiple clamping parts, which are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the vibratory feeder includes a first spiral channel and a discharge track. The first spiral channel is an outwardly expanding spiral structure. The discharge track has a groove adapted to the inductive workpiece, and the feed end of the groove is connected to the discharge end of the first spiral channel.

[0014] In one embodiment, the vibratory feeder includes:

[0015] The disc body has a storage tank; and

[0016] The second spiral material channel has a feeding end and a discharging end arranged in a spiral upward configuration. The feeding end of the second spiral material channel is located at the bottom of the storage tank. The second spiral material channel has an outwardly expanding spiral structure.

[0017] The feeding end and the discharging end of the first spiral material channel are spirally descending; the feeding end of the first spiral material channel is connected to the discharging end of the second spiral material channel.

[0018] In one embodiment, the radial width of the second spiral channel is gradually increased along the spiral direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the loading station and the unloading station are spaced apart, the multi-axis robotic arm is located between the loading station and the unloading station, and the soldering station is located close to the loading station, the unloading station, and the multi-axis robotic arm.

[0020] In one embodiment, a third groove is provided on the side of the base facing away from the machine tool. The third groove is spaced between the first groove and the second groove, and the third groove is filled with flux.

[0021] In one embodiment, the automatic inductor soldering machine further includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt and a drive motor. The conveyor belt is located at the feeding station, and the drive motor is connected to the conveyor belt to drive the conveyor belt to operate.

[0022] This utility model also provides an inductor production line, including the automatic inductor soldering machine as described above.

[0023] The automatic inductor soldering machine provided by this utility model solves the problems of poor soldering consistency and insufficient production efficiency of inductor workpieces caused by excessive manual intervention through the coordinated action of a vibratory feeder, a soldering mechanism (including a first tank and a second tank), and a transfer mechanism. Specifically, after the vibratory feeder at the loading station arranges the inductor workpieces in an orderly manner, the multi-axis robotic arm of the transfer mechanism drives the gripping structure to grasp the workpieces and first transfer them to the first tank (soldering tank) at the soldering station, so that the inductor leads are immersed in molten solder to complete the soldering; then it is transferred to the second tank (cooling liquid tank) to cool the leads, and finally transferred to the unloading station to complete the unloading. Through this series of automated operations, the vibratory feeder achieves automatic feeding, reducing the differences caused by manual operation, thereby avoiding solder position deviation and uneven solder joints, and effectively improving product consistency. In the soldering mechanism, the heating element surrounding the first tank can maintain a stable temperature of the molten solder, ensuring solder quality. The coolant in the second tank can quickly cool the pins, which, compared to natural cooling, can prevent solder joint oxidation and stress deformation, improving the product qualification rate. The multi-axis robotic arm drives the gripping structure to complete the fully automated transfer process, which not only reduces the intensity of manual labor but also greatly improves production efficiency, meeting the needs of mass production.

[0033] This utility model proposes an automatic inductor soldering machine 100.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the automatic inductor soldering machine 100 includes:

[0035] Machine 1 has a loading station, a soldering station and an unloading station;

[0036] Vibratory feeder 2 is located on machine base 1 and at the loading station;

[0037] Soldering mechanism 3 includes a base 31 and a heating element. The base 31 is mounted on the machine base 1 and located at the soldering station. A first groove 32 and a second groove 33 are spaced apart on the side of the base 31 facing away from the machine base 1. The first groove 32 and the second groove 33 are filled with molten solder and coolant, respectively. The heating element is arranged around the first groove 32.

[0038] The transfer mechanism 4 includes a multi-axis robotic arm 41 and a gripping structure 42. The multi-axis robotic arm 41 is located on the machine base 1, and the gripping structure 42 is located at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 41 for gripping inductive workpieces. The multi-axis robotic arm 41 is used to drive the gripping structure 42 to move between the loading station, the soldering station and the unloading station.

[0039] The automatic inductor soldering machine 100 provided by this utility model solves the problems of poor soldering consistency and insufficient production efficiency of inductor workpieces caused by excessive manual intervention through the coordinated action of the vibratory feeder 2, the soldering mechanism 3 (including the first tank 32 and the second tank 33), and the transfer mechanism 4. Specifically, after the vibratory feeder 2 at the loading station arranges the inductor workpieces in an orderly manner, the multi-axis robotic arm 41 of the transfer mechanism 4 drives the gripping structure 42 to grip the workpieces and first transfer them to the first tank 32 (solder bath) at the soldering station, so that the inductor leads are immersed in molten solder to complete the soldering; then it is transferred to the second tank 33 (coolant bath) to cool the leads, and finally transferred to the unloading station to complete the unloading. Through this series of automated operations, the vibratory feeder 2 achieves automatic feeding, reducing the differences in manual operation, thereby avoiding solder position deviation and uneven solder joints, and effectively improving product consistency; in the soldering mechanism 3, the heating element surrounding the first tank 32 can maintain the stable temperature of the molten solder and ensure the quality of the solder; the coolant in the second tank 33 can quickly cool the pins, which, compared with natural cooling, can avoid solder joint oxidation and stress deformation, and improve the product qualification rate; the multi-axis robotic arm 41 drives the gripping structure 42 to complete the fully automated transfer process, which not only reduces the intensity of manual labor, but also greatly improves production efficiency and meets the needs of mass production.

[0040] It should be noted that the base 31, as the basic supporting component of the soldering mechanism 3, is fixedly installed at the soldering station of the machine 1, providing a stable mounting reference for other components. Its side facing away from the machine 1 is precision-machined to ensure the positional accuracy of the first slot 32 and the second slot 33, thereby ensuring accurate alignment of the inductor pins during soldering and cooling. The base 31 is typically made of a high-temperature resistant metal material with moderate thermal conductivity (such as cast iron or aluminum alloy), which avoids deformation due to excessive temperature and reduces excessive heat transfer from the molten solder to the machine 1.

[0041] The first groove 32 is formed on the surface of the base 31 to contain molten solder. It is the working area for soldering the inductor pins. The shape and size of the groove are designed according to the distribution characteristics of the inductor pins, and it is usually an elongated groove to ensure that multiple inductor pins can be immersed in the molten solder at the same time to complete the soldering. In addition, the edges of the first groove 32 are rounded to prevent the molten solder from leaving residues or accumulating during the flow process.

[0042] The second tank 33 is spaced apart from the first tank 32 and filled with coolant (such as purified water or a special coolant) to rapidly cool the soldered inductor leads. Its position maintains a reasonable distance from the first tank 32, facilitating rapid switching of the inductor workpiece by the transfer mechanism 4 while preventing coolant from splashing into the solder bath and affecting the solder temperature. It is important to note that the depth of the coolant tank should be slightly shallower than the solder bath to ensure that only the inductor leads are immersed in the coolant, preventing damage to the inductor body from contact with the liquid. Additionally, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the tank for regular coolant replacement, ensuring stable cooling performance.

[0043] The heating element typically uses an electric heating tube or heating wire to continuously heat the solder in the first bath 32, keeping it in a molten state (temperature is generally controlled between 230-280℃, adjusted according to the type of solder). The heating element is located inside or outside the base 31 and fits tightly against it, ensuring efficient heat transfer to the solder bath. Simultaneously, its power can be adjusted by the control system, working with a temperature sensor to achieve precise control of the solder temperature, preventing defects such as cold solder joints or incomplete soldering due to temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the heating element can be wrapped with a heat insulation layer to reduce heat diffusion to other areas of the base 31, lowering energy consumption and preventing excessively high temperatures in certain areas of the machine 1.

[0044] In one embodiment, the gripping structure 42 includes a mounting base and a clamping portion disposed on the mounting base. The mounting base is disposed at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 41, and the clamping portion includes two grippers that can move closer or further apart to grip or release the inductive workpiece.

[0045] It should be noted that the mounting base, serving as the connection and load-bearing foundation for the gripping structure 42, is fixedly installed at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 41 and is the core component for achieving a rigid connection between the gripping structure 42 and the robotic arm. Its shape is typically a square or round metal plate (such as stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloy) with precise mounting holes on its surface. It is securely connected to the end flange of the multi-axis robotic arm 41 via bolts, ensuring that the gripping structure 42 does not loosen or shift during high-speed movement of the robotic arm. The dimensions of the mounting base are designed according to the layout of the clamping part, reserving sufficient space for installing drive components (such as cylinders or motors) while reducing its own weight to decrease the load on the robotic arm.

[0046] The gripping unit, mounted on the mounting base, is the component that directly contacts the inductive workpiece and performs the gripping action. It mainly consists of two opposing grippers made of wear-resistant and elastic materials (such as engineering plastics or chrome-plated metal) to prevent scratching the surface of the inductive workpiece during gripping. The inner surfaces of the two opposing grippers are precision-machined and usually have arc-shaped grooves or steps that conform to the shape of the inductive workpiece, increasing the contact area with the workpiece and improving gripping stability. In some designs, the inner walls of the grooves can be equipped with anti-slip textures or flexible pads (such as silicone) to further prevent the workpiece from slipping during transfer. The two grippers can move closer or further apart through a drive component (such as a pneumatic finger cylinder, a servo motor with a gear and rack mechanism): when the drive component receives a control signal from the multi-axis robotic arm 41, the grippers simultaneously close to clamp the inductive workpiece (gripping state) or simultaneously open to release the workpiece (placement state).

[0047] In this embodiment, when the multi-axis robotic arm 41 moves the gripping structure 42 to the material pick-up point of the vibratory feeder 2 at the loading station, the control system drives the two grippers of the clamping part to open and align with the inductive workpiece to be gripped; then the grippers close and achieve stable gripping by adhering to the workpiece through the inner groove; during the process of the robotic arm moving the gripping structure 42 to the soldering station, cooling station and unloading station, the grippers always remain clamped to ensure the workpiece is in a stable position; after reaching the target station, the grippers open to release the workpiece, completing a single transfer action.

[0048] In other embodiments, the gripping part can also be a vacuum adsorption structure or a magnetic adsorption structure to meet the gripping needs of different types or specifications of inductive workpieces.

[0049] In one embodiment, both the first groove 32 and the second groove 33 extend along a first direction;

[0050] The gripping structure 42 includes multiple gripping parts, which are spaced apart along a first direction.

[0051] It should be noted that the first direction is typically a horizontal direction parallel to the length of the machine tool 1. The first slot 32 and the second slot 33 extend along this direction, forming a long, narrow working area. Taking the first slot 32 as an example, its length can be designed according to the number of inductor workpieces to be soldered in a single operation (e.g., accommodating 5-10 inductor pins simultaneously). The width and depth of the slot are maintained to fit the dimensions of a single inductor pin, ensuring consistent soldering conditions at each station. The second slot 33 adopts the same extension direction and length as the first slot 32, and the distance between them remains fixed (typically 5-10 cm). This facilitates the simultaneous transfer of multiple workpieces by the transfer mechanism 4 and avoids interference between the molten solder and the coolant. This extended design breaks through the limitations of traditional single-station slots, providing a structural basis for batch processing of inductor workpieces.

[0052] Multiple clamping parts of the gripping structure 42 are spaced apart along the first direction, and their spacing corresponds one-to-one with the workpiece placement positions on the first slot 32 and the second slot 33. All clamping parts share a mounting base, and the number of clamping parts matches the number of effective positions in the first slot 32, ensuring that multiple inductor workpieces can be gripped at one time, and that multiple inductor workpieces can be soldered or cooled simultaneously.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vibratory feeder 2 arranges multiple inductive workpieces in an orderly manner along a first direction at the loading station. The multi-axis robotic arm 41 drives the gripping structure 42 to move to the loading point, and multiple clamping parts move synchronously to grip multiple workpieces at once. They are then transferred to the soldering station, ensuring that the pins of each workpiece precisely correspond to different positions in the first tank 32, and simultaneously immersed in molten solder to complete batch soldering. After soldering, they are synchronously transferred to the second tank 33, where the pins of multiple workpieces are simultaneously immersed in coolant for cooling; finally, they are transferred to the unloading station, where multiple workpieces are released synchronously. This significantly shortens the processing cycle of the entire batch of workpieces, greatly improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the soldering and cooling conditions of all workpieces are completely consistent, avoiding quality differences caused by batch processing and further ensuring product consistency.

[0054] Please refer to 2. In one embodiment, the vibratory feeder 2 includes a first spiral channel 21 and a discharge track 24. The first spiral channel 21 is an outwardly expanding spiral structure. The discharge track 24 has a groove adapted to the inductive workpiece. The feed end of the groove is connected to the discharge end of the first spiral channel 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first spiral channel 21 of the vibratory feeder 2 adopts an outwardly expanding spiral structure. With the help of the vibration of the vibratory feeder 2, the hollow inductor can automatically adjust its posture during movement and complete the initial calibration. The discharge track 24 connected to the first spiral channel 21 is provided with a matching groove. The groove can further limit and guide the inductor, thereby ensuring that the inductor arrives at the discharge end in the correct posture.

[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the vibratory feeder 2 includes:

[0057] The disc body 23 has a storage tank; and

[0058] The second spiral material channel 22 has a feeding end and a discharging end arranged in a spiral upward configuration. The feeding end of the second spiral material channel 22 is located at the bottom of the storage tank. The second spiral material channel 22 is an outwardly expanding spiral structure.

[0059] The feeding end and the discharge end of the first spiral material channel 21 are spirally descending; the feeding end of the first spiral material channel 21 is connected to the discharge end of the second spiral material channel 22.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the vibratory feeder 2 starts vibrating, the inductive workpiece located at the bottom of the storage tank will move from bottom to top and from inside to outside along the second spiral material channel 22 under the action of vibration. The outward expanding spiral structure allows the inductive workpiece to gradually disperse during the upward process, avoiding mutual compression and stacking, which is conducive to the inductive workpiece being transported upward in a more regular state. The inductive workpiece rising from the second spiral material channel 22 will enter the first spiral material channel 21, and then spiral down along the first spiral material channel 21. During the descent, the inductive workpiece further adjusts its posture to meet the requirements of the discharge track 24.

[0061] In one embodiment, the radial width of the second spiral channel 22 is gradually increased along the spiral direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, "radial width" refers to the distance from the central axis of the spiral channel to the edge of the channel; "gradually increasing along the spiral direction" indicates that this radial width is not fixed during the spiral extension of the channel, but rather becomes wider as the spiral path increases. It is understandable that if the width of the second spiral channel 22 at the bottom of the storage tank is large, when the vibratory feeder 2 starts, a large number of inductive workpieces will simultaneously enter the second spiral channel 22, easily leading to the accumulation of inductive workpieces and causing blockage. Therefore, the incremental design ensures that the inductive workpieces entering the second spiral channel 22 are a gradually increasing process; the higher up, the more it can hold, preventing blockage and making the feeding device feed more smoothly. Furthermore, inductive workpieces in incorrect positions will fall from the inside of the second spiral channel 22 into the storage tank, requiring repeated feeding.

[0063] In one embodiment, the loading station and the unloading station are spaced apart, and the multi-axis robotic arm 41 is located between the loading station and the unloading station. The soldering station is located close to the loading station, the unloading station and the multi-axis robotic arm 41.

[0064] In this embodiment, the loading station (where the vibratory feeder 2 is located) and the unloading station are spaced apart along the length or width of the machine tool 1, with sufficient space reserved between them for installing the multi-axis robotic arm 41, so that the base of the robotic arm is fixed in the middle area of ​​the two stations. The soldering station (where the soldering mechanism 3 is located) is set near the intersection of these three stations, maintaining a close distance to both the loading and unloading stations, and also close to the center of motion of the multi-axis robotic arm 41, forming a compact layout of "robotic arm in the center, three stations surrounding it". Thus, when the equipment is running, the multi-axis robotic arm 41 starts from the middle position, moves a short distance to the loading station to grab the workpiece, then quickly moves it to the adjacent soldering station to complete soldering and cooling, and finally transfers it to the unloading station via a short path to release the workpiece. Throughout the process, the ineffective movement of the robotic arm is reduced, and the continuity of the movements is enhanced, which not only increases the workpiece throughput per unit time, but also reduces the energy consumption and mechanical wear of the equipment, and extends its service life.

[0065] In one embodiment, a third groove is provided on the side of the base 31 facing away from the machine platform 1. The third groove is spaced between the first groove 32 and the second groove 33, and is filled with flux.

[0066] It should be noted that the third slot is formed on the surface of the base 31 along the first direction (consistent with the extension direction of the first slot 32 and the second slot 33), and it is located between the first slot 32 and the second slot 33. The three slots are arranged in parallel, and the spacing between adjacent slots is consistent. The size of the third slot is adapted to the distribution of the inductor leads, and its depth is slightly shallower than that of the first slot 32, ensuring that the leads of the inductor workpiece can be appropriately immersed in the flux, while avoiding excessive flux adhering to the inductor body.

[0067] In this embodiment, after the inductor workpiece is picked up at the loading station, the transfer mechanism 4 first moves it to the third tank, immersing the leads of the inductor workpiece in flux. The flux can quickly remove the oxide layer and oil on the surface of the leads, while forming a protective film on the surface, providing a good foundation for the subsequent soldering process in the molten solder bath, ensuring that the molten solder can evenly and fully wet the leads, reducing cold solder joints and missing solder joints, which is especially suitable for inductor workpieces that have been stored for a long time and whose surfaces are prone to oxidation.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automatic inductor soldering machine 100 further includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt 5 and a drive motor. The conveyor belt 5 is located at the feeding station, and the drive motor is connected to the conveyor belt 5 to drive the conveyor belt 5 to rotate.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the inductor workpiece has undergone soldering and cooling processes, the multi-axis robotic arm 41 of the transfer mechanism 4 drives the gripping structure 42 to move it to the input end of the conveyor belt 5 at the unloading station and release it. The drive motor drives the conveyor belt 5 to rotate, smoothly moving the workpiece to the output end along the conveying direction. During this process, the running speed of the conveyor belt 5 needs to match the working rhythm of the transfer mechanism 4, so that the workpiece will not accumulate due to excessive speed, nor will it affect the overall production efficiency due to excessive slowness.

[0070] In other embodiments, the feeding mechanism can also be a combination structure of an inclined feeding slide and a graded collection box. The high end of the feeding slide is connected to the release position of the transfer mechanism 4, and the low end is connected to the graded collection box. The inner wall of the slide is provided with a flexible buffer layer to reduce the impact when the workpiece falls. The graded collection box is divided into multiple independent chambers by partitions, which can be classified and collected according to the solder quality or specifications of the inductive workpiece. It is suitable for small-batch multi-specification production scenarios, with a simple structure and low cost.

[0071] This utility model also provides an inductor production line, including an automatic inductor soldering machine 100. The specific structure of the automatic inductor soldering machine 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the inductor production line adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
