Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding mechanisms, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted inductor feeding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In today's booming automotive electronics technology, automotive inductors are indispensable key components in automotive electronic circuits. With their small size and high precision, automotive inductors play a crucial role in automotive electronic systems. In actual production, to improve production efficiency and economies of scale, mass production is typically employed, with multiple automotive inductors manufactured simultaneously.
[0003] However, many problems arise during the material loading process. Traditional manual loading requires the use of jigs or pre-positioning of materials to place the inductors in specific locations, increasing operational complexity and time costs. Furthermore, operators struggle to quickly and accurately grasp and place the tiny inductors. This not only leads to low transfer efficiency but also increases the risk of damage to the inductors or affecting the accuracy of subsequent circuit assembly due to operational errors such as unstable grasping or placement deviations, ultimately impacting product quality. In mass production, this bottleneck becomes increasingly prominent, becoming a key factor restricting the overall efficiency and capacity expansion of the production line. The low efficiency and error-prone nature of manual loading disrupts the entire production rhythm, forcing subsequent processes to wait for loading to complete, severely impacting the smoothness and efficiency of the production line.
[0004] Although some inductor loading machines have appeared on the market, most of these devices have limitations and cannot fully meet the requirements of small size, high precision, and high efficiency in automotive inductors. Furthermore, they require the inductors to be placed before loading. Some devices also perform poorly in recognizing and processing small inductors, easily resulting in recognition errors or inaccurate grasping, thus failing to meet the stringent requirements of modern automotive electronics production for efficient and precise loading.
[0005] Therefore, this application develops an on-board inductor feeding machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted inductive feeder to solve the problem of low material transfer efficiency in the prior art.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: a vehicle-mounted inductor feeding machine, comprising:
[0008] Storage device for storing materials to be loaded;
[0009] The attitude adjustment device enables the material to adjust its own positive and negative attitude under the action of vibration;
[0010] A transplanting device is located on one side of the storage device and the attitude adjustment device, and uses suction to transfer material from the storage device to the attitude adjustment device.
[0011] A visual inspection device, located above the posture adjustment device, has an imaging field of view covering the working surface of the posture adjustment device, and is used to detect the front and back information of the material.
[0012] The conveying device moves the adjusted material to the subsequent process.
[0013] A robotic arm, positioned above the attitude adjustment device, moves the material, after attitude adjustment, onto the conveying device.
[0014] Preferably, the transplanting device includes a linear module and a lifting module; wherein the linear module is disposed across one side of the storage device and the attitude adjustment device, and the lifting module is mounted on the linear module and can slide along the linear module;
[0015] The lifting module includes a material picking component and an isolation section. The material picking component has a magnetic attraction function and can move up and down to pick up and put down materials. The isolation section is connected to the lifting module to isolate the bottom surface of the material picking component from the materials.
[0016] Preferably, the isolation part has a surrounding structure, is arranged around the material picking component and covers its bottom surface, the isolation part is connected to the lifting module, and the lifting module realizes the lifting movement along the material picking component to adjust the distance between the bottom surface of the material picking component and the material.
[0017] Preferably, the conveying device is located between the attitude adjustment device and the storage device.
[0018] Preferably, the actuator of the robotic arm has a self-rotation function, and multiple electromagnets are arranged in an array on the actuator, with the distribution position of the multiple electromagnets adapted to the material.
[0019] Preferably, light sources are provided around the posture adjustment device, and the illumination direction of each light source is towards the internal area of the posture adjustment device.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0021] (1) The transfer device and the execution end of the robot are equipped with a magnetic structure. The material is transferred by magnetic attraction, which greatly improves the material transfer efficiency. The material's orientation is adjusted by vibration, which saves time and effort and ensures the consistency of material transportation.
[0022] (2) The isolation part is a surround structure that surrounds the material picking component and completely covers its bottom surface. During the material picking process, the isolation part and the material picking component rise and fall together to suck the material onto the surface of the isolation part. When the material is released, the isolation part moves away from the material picking component, so that the material falls smoothly onto the attitude adjustment device, which improves the efficiency of picking and releasing materials.

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0031] like Figures 1-2As shown, a vehicle-mounted inductor loading machine includes a storage device 1, a posture adjustment device 2, a transfer device 3, a vision inspection device 4, a conveying device 5, and a robotic arm 6. The storage device 1 stores materials to be loaded, providing material reserves for subsequent processing steps. The posture adjustment device 2 is located on one side of the storage device 1, while the transfer device 3 is arranged on one side of both the storage device 1 and the posture adjustment device 2. The working end of the transfer device 3 has a magnet, which uses magnetic attraction to accurately transfer materials from the storage device 1 to the posture adjustment device 2, realizing the material transfer between the storage device 1 and the posture adjustment device 2. Moreover, the materials can be transferred through the transfer device 3 without the need for regular placement. Subsequently, the posture adjustment device 2 uses vibration to flip the materials placed on it, and the vision detection device 4 installed above the posture adjustment device 2 detects the front and back information of the materials in the posture adjustment device 2 in real time. The robot arm 6 can adjust the angle according to the detection results, accurately take out the posture-adjusted materials from the posture adjustment device 2 and move them to the conveying device 5, completing the transfer of materials between the posture adjustment device 2 and the conveying device 5.
[0032] Specifically, the conveying device 5 is located between the attitude adjustment device 2 and the transplanting device 3, which helps to balance the spatial relationship between the devices, reduce the risk of interference and collision during material transmission, and improve the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the transplanting device 3 includes a linear module 31 and a lifting module 32. The linear module 31 is arranged horizontally across one side of the storage device 1 and the attitude adjustment device 2, providing a track foundation for the movement of the lifting module 32. The lifting module 32 is mounted on the linear module 31 and can slide along the linear module 31. The lifting module 32 includes a material picking component 321 and an isolation part 322. The material picking component 321 is a magnet with magnetic attraction function, which can attract materials by magnetic force. At the same time, the material picking component 321 is mounted on the execution end 61 of the lifting module 32 by a motor, and the lifting movement of the material picking component 321 is controlled by the motor. The isolation part 322 is fixedly connected to the lifting module 32.
[0034] Specifically, the isolation part 322 is constructed as an enclosed structure, which is arranged around the material picking component 321 and completely covers the bottom surface of the material picking component 321. Driven by the lifting module 32, the isolation part 322 can move vertically up and down along the material picking component 321, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the distance between the bottom surface of the material picking component 321 and the material.
[0035] In practical applications, during the process of moving materials from storage device 1 to attitude adjustment device 2, isolation part 322 and material picking component 321 move up and down together under the action of lifting module 32 and motor, respectively, sucking the material onto the surface of isolation part 322. When execution end 61 moves above attitude adjustment device 2, lifting module 32 controls isolation part 322 to move away from material picking component 321, and material picking component 321 remains stationary or moves in the opposite direction, thereby gradually reducing the suction force of material picking component 321 on material, so that material falls onto attitude adjustment device 2.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the actuator 61 of the robotic arm 6 is equipped with a self-rotation function and can be an AtomRobot. Specifically, the actuator 61 is equipped with a corresponding drive mechanism and transmission components, enabling it to rotate 360 degrees around its own axis without restriction to meet the needs of materials at different angles. On the surface of the actuator 61, multiple electromagnets 62 are distributed in an array to ensure effective magnetic attraction with specific parts of the material during material picking, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the attraction. In practical applications, the attitude adjustment device 2 can vibrate the material from the front to the back or from the back to the front, depending on the needs of the next process. When the robotic arm 6 picks up materials, it ensures that the materials transferred to the conveying device 5 are all on the front or all on the back. After the attitude adjustment device 2 vibrates, the vision detection device 4 detects the position of the material. When the material is on the side that can be picked up, the robotic arm 6 continuously moves the material to the conveying device 5 until all the material on that side has been transferred. Then, the attitude adjustment device 2 vibrates again, and the robotic arm 6 transfers the material again.
[0037] To better identify materials, light sources 7 are installed on three sides of the attitude adjustment device 2, while no light source 7 is installed on the side closest to the conveying device 5. By adjusting the position and angle of the light sources 7, it is ensured that the illumination direction of each light source 7 is towards the internal area of the attitude adjustment device 2, so that a uniform and sufficient lighting environment is formed inside the attitude adjustment device 2, providing good visual conditions for the attitude and position detection of materials and improving the working accuracy and reliability of the entire device.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
