Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a coating device for inductor manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component in electronic devices that enables electromagnetic induction and filtering, surface mount inductors require an encapsulation process during production to insulate and protect the windings and core, ensuring stable electrical performance. Currently, most encapsulation devices for surface mount inductors in the industry operate in a semi-automatic mode, with manual operation for loading and unloading. Operators must place the unencapsulated surface mount inductors one by one at the designated station of the encapsulation mechanism. After encapsulation is completed, the finished product is manually removed and the loading and unloading process is repeated. Manual loading and unloading is tedious, can easily cause fatigue, and may reduce operational accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figures 1-2, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a rubber coating device for inductor production. The rubber coating device for inductor production includes a main body component 1, which includes a workbench 11. A tape roll 12 is provided on the workbench 11. The tape roll 12 provides raw materials for rubber coating. A placement table 13 is provided on one side of the tape roll 12. The placement table 13 is the rubber coating station, and the chip inductor is placed thereon. Then, the rubber coating is started. A rotating mechanism 14 is provided at the bottom of the placement table 13. The rotating mechanism 14 can drive the placement table 13 to rotate, thereby driving the inductor to rotate and cooperating with the tape roll 12 to complete the rubber coating. A lifting mechanism 15 is provided on one side of the placement table 13. The lifting mechanism 15 is used to limit the upper part of the inductor to prevent the inductor from deviating or rotating during the rubber coating process. This is the prior art, and this solution will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle.
[0030] The feeding component 2 is located on the workbench 11 and includes a feeding part 21, which is used to push the inductor onto the placement table 13 to achieve automatic feeding.
[0031] The feeding part 21 includes a material holding table 211. The length of the material holding table 211 is relatively long and is in the shape of an inverted "r". A connecting plate 212 is fixed on the material holding table 211. A first air cylinder 213 is provided on the workbench 11. The connecting plate 212 is fixed to the telescopic column of the first air cylinder 213. The first air cylinder 213 can drive the material holding table 211 to move. The setting of the first air cylinder 213 is used to change the position of the material holding table 211. During the rubber coating process, the material holding table 211 is located at a position far from the placement table 13 to avoid affecting the rubber coating process. When feeding is required, the material holding table 211 will approach the placement table 13 under the push of the first air cylinder 213.
[0032] A chute 211-1 is opened on the material holding table 211. A push plate 214 is slidably arranged in the chute 211-1. The push plate 214 is in a T shape. A first spring 215 is fixed on one side of the push plate 214. The other end of the first spring 215 is fixed to the inner wall of the chute 211-1. The first spring 215 applies a continuous thrust to the push plate 214 to ensure that the push plate 214 always has a tendency to approach the placement table 13, so as to be able to push the inductor placed on the material holding table 211 and move it onto the placement table 13.
[0033] A support frame 216 is fixed on the workbench 11. The material holding table 211 is slidably connected to the support frame 216. The support frame 216 provides auxiliary support for the material holding table 211.
[0034] Embodiment 2
[0035] Refer to Figures 2-4 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.
[0036] Specifically, the feeding assembly 2 also includes an auxiliary component 22 located in the feeding platform 211. The auxiliary component 22 limits the distance and time that the pusher plate 214 pushes the inductor to move, ensuring that the feeding operation can proceed smoothly.
[0037] The auxiliary component limiting block 22122 includes a limiting block 221 that slides within the material receiving platform 211. When the limiting block 221 is in contact with the push plate 214 and the limiting block 221 is closer to the placement platform 13, the limiting block 221 will prevent the push plate 214 from approaching the placement platform 13, and the relative position of the push plate 214 within the slide groove 211-1 will be locked. At this time, the push plate 214 will not exert a pushing force on the inductor located on the material receiving platform 211. When the limiting block 221 is not in contact with the push plate 214, the movement of the push plate 214 is no longer restricted. At this time, under the push of the first spring 215, the push plate 214 will push the inductor to move towards the placement platform 13.
[0038] A lifting plate 222 is fixed to one side of the limiting block 221, and a second spring 223 is fixed to one side of the lifting plate 222. A lifting groove corresponding to the lifting plate 222 is opened on the material receiving platform 211. The other end of the second spring 223 is fixed to the lifting groove. The second spring 223 applies a continuous pushing force to the lifting plate 222, so that one end face of the limiting block 221 will be located in the slide groove 211-1 without the action of other external forces. The second spring 223 is used to reset the lifting plate 222 and the limiting block 221.
[0039] Multiple cylinders 229 are inserted into the lifting plate 222. The cylinders 229 are fixed in the lifting groove. The lifting plate 222 has corresponding circular grooves. Through the cooperation of multiple cylinders 229 and circular grooves, the lifting plate 222 can move up and down smoothly, and the multiple limit blocks 221 can move synchronously.
[0040] Specifically, the limiting block 221 is inclined at one end, and there are multiple of them.
[0041] By tilting the push plate 214, it can only move in one direction within the slide 211-1, and it can move freely to a position away from the placement table 13.
[0042] There are multiple limit blocks 221, all of which are fixed to the lifting plate 222. The lifting and lowering movement of the lifting plate 222 can simultaneously drive all the limit blocks 221 to move synchronously. The spacing between each limit block 221 is fixed, which is the width of one inductor. The push plate 214 is restricted from moving by one of the limit blocks 221. When the limit block 221 completes a downward and then upward movement in a short time, the limit block 221 moves downward and separates from the push plate 214. At this time, the first spring 215 pushes the push plate 214 to move towards the placement platform 13, and the limit block 221 resets in a short time, and its top is once again located in the slide groove 211-1, which will restrict the push plate 214 from moving further. During this process, the distance that the push plate 214 moves is the body position of one inductor, thereby pushing all the inductors to move synchronously towards the placement platform 13, and pushing the inductors that were originally located on the placement platform 13 off.
[0043] After all the inductors on the loading platform 211 have been loaded, the push plate 214 is pushed in the opposite direction. The end face of the push plate 214 will contact the inclined surface of the limit block 221 and squeeze it, so that the second spring 223 is compressed. This will not hinder the movement of the push plate 214, and the first spring 215 will be recharged for the next loading.
[0044] Specifically, a connecting rod 224 is fixed to one side of the lifting plate 222, one end of the connecting rod 224 extends through to the outside of the material receiving platform 211, and an inclined block 225 is fixed to one side of the connecting rod 224. The lifting and lowering movement of the inclined block 225 can simultaneously drive the connecting rod 224 and the lifting plate 222 to lift and lower. When the first cylinder 213 drives the material receiving platform 211 to move horizontally as a whole, the inclined block 225 will also move horizontally in sync.
[0045] An extension plate 226 is fixed on the support frame 216, and a rotating plate 227 is rotatably connected to the extension plate 226. When the first cylinder 213 drives the material holding platform 211 to move horizontally as a whole, the inclined block 225 can move accordingly and contact the rotating plate 227. Under the action of gravity, the rotating plate 227 will be in a vertically downward state.
[0046] Specifically, the extension plate 226 has a groove corresponding to the rotating plate 227, and a baffle 228 is fixed on the extension plate 226. The baffle 228 is set so that the rotating plate 227 can only rotate in one direction.
[0047] When the first cylinder 213 pushes the material receiving platform 211 closer to the placement platform 13, the inclined block 225 moves synchronously and contacts the rotating plate 227, applying pressure to it. At this time, due to the obstruction of the baffle 228, the rotating plate 227 will not rotate. The rotating plate 227 will apply a reverse thrust to the inclined surface of the inclined block 225, causing the inclined block 225 to move downward, thereby driving the extension plate 226 and the lifting plate 222 to move downward, thereby causing the limiting block 221 to move downward without hindering the movement of the push plate 214.
[0048] As the material receiving platform 211 continues to move, at the moment the inclined block 225 separates from the rotating plate 227, the rotating plate 227 no longer applies a pushing force to the inclined block 225. The second spring 223 will drive the lifting plate 222 and the limiting block 221 to reset, thereby restricting the movement of the push plate 214 again. During this process, the push plate 214 will push the inductor to travel a unit distance.
[0049] When the first cylinder 213 drives the material holding platform 211 away from the placement platform 13, the inclined block 225 moves synchronously and contacts the rotating plate 227, applying pressure to it. At this time, the rotating plate 227 can rotate without hindering the movement of the inclined block 225.
[0050] Example 3
[0051] Reference Figures 4-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0052] Specifically, a movable groove 211-2 is provided on the material receiving platform 211. A movable plate 217 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 211-2. The horizontal height of the movable plate 217 is the same as that of the placement platform 13. A third spring 218 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 217, and the other end of the third spring 218 is fixed to the inner wall of the movable groove 211-2. The third spring 218 is used to reset the movable plate 217. In the absence of other external forces, the movable plate 217 will be located close to the placement platform 13 in the movable groove 211-2. As the first cylinder 213 pushes the material receiving platform 211 closer to the placement platform 13, the movable plate 217 will gradually approach the placement platform 13. The placement platform 13 will hinder its continued advancement, causing the third spring 218 to be compressed. The movable plate 217 moves into the interior of the material receiving platform 211. At this time, an inductor located on the movable plate 217 will be pushed by the bottom plate of the material receiving platform 211 and moved to the placement platform 13, pushing down the inductor that has been coated with glue on the placement platform 13.
[0053] Specifically, guide posts 219 are fixed on the inner wall of the slide 211-1, and there are two of them. The push plate 214 has a guide groove 214-1. The cooperation between the guide posts 219 and the guide groove 214-1 ensures that the push plate 214 can move smoothly in the slide 211-1.
[0054] Specifically, there are two positioning posts 2110 fixed on the inner wall of the moving groove 211-2. The moving plate 217 has a groove corresponding to the positioning post 2110. The moving plate 217 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 2110, thereby ensuring that the moving plate 217 can move smoothly in the moving groove 211-2.
[0055] Specifically, it also includes a unloading assembly 3, located on one side of the placement platform 13, including a second cylinder 31. An unloading plate 32 is provided on one side of the second cylinder 31, and a support block 33 is fixed to the bottom of the unloading plate 32. The telescopic column of the second cylinder 31 is fixed to the support block 33. The unloading plate 32 is divided into two sections, one end with a smaller tilt angle and the other end with a larger tilt angle. The end of the unloading plate 32 with a larger tilt angle collects the inductor in the same direction, thereby collecting the inductor after coating. The end with a smaller tilt angle is slightly lower than the placement platform 13, so that the inductor after coating pushed down from the placement platform 13 falls onto the unloading plate 32 and slides to the designated position under the action of gravity through the inclined surface.
[0056] A baffle is provided at the edge of the unloading plate 32 to prevent the inductor from falling to the outside. A slide rail 34 is also fixed on the worktable 11. The support block 33 is T-shaped, and the slide rail 34 is corresponding to it to ensure that the second cylinder 31 can push the unloading plate 32 to move smoothly. During the coating process, the second cylinder 31 keeps the unloading plate 32 away from the placement table 13 to avoid affecting the coating. When unloading is required, the second cylinder 31 moves the unloading plate 32 closer to the placement table 13 to unload the material.
[0057] Specifically, a cutting component 16 is provided on one side of the placement platform 13. The cutting component 16 is used to cut the tape and can also stick the cut tape onto the next inductor that needs to be coated. This is existing technology, and this solution will not be described in detail. Moreover, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle.
[0058] In use, the first cylinder 213 drives the material receiving platform 211 to move closer to the placement platform 13. The inclined block 225 moves synchronously and contacts the rotating plate 227, applying pressure to it. At this time, due to the obstruction of the baffle 228, the rotating plate 227 will not rotate. The rotating plate 227 will apply a reverse pushing force to the inclined surface of the inclined block 225, causing the inclined block 225 to move downwards. This, in turn, drives the extension plate 226 and the lifting plate 222 downwards, thereby causing the limiting block 221 to move downwards without obstructing the movement of the push plate 214. At this time, the first spring 215 pushes the push plate 214 to move towards the placement platform 13. As the material receiving platform 211 continues to move, at the moment the inclined block 225 separates from the rotating plate 227, the rotating plate 227 no longer applies a pushing force to the inclined block 225. The second spring 223 will drive the lifting plate 222 and the limiting block 221 to reset, thereby restricting the movement of the push plate 214 again. The push plate 214 will push the inductor through a unit distance, causing an inductor that was originally located on the material receiving platform 211 to be pushed onto the moving plate 217.
[0059] During this process, as the first cylinder 213 pushes the material receiving platform 211 closer to the placement platform 13, the moving plate 217 will gradually approach the placement platform 13. The placement platform 13 will hinder its continued progress, causing the third spring 218 to be compressed. The moving plate 217 moves into the interior of the material receiving platform 211. At this time, an inductor located on the moving plate 217 will be pushed by the bottom plate of the material receiving platform 211 and moved to the placement platform 13, pushing down the inductor that has been coated with glue on the placement platform 13.
[0060] At the same time, the second cylinder 31 pushes the unloading plate 32 close to and against the placement platform 13. The inductor that has been pushed off the placement platform 13 and has been coated with rubber falls onto the unloading plate 32 and slides to the designated position under the action of gravity through the inclined slope, thus completing the unloading.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
