Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a floating feeding device for inductor production lines, belonging to the field of inductor winding production technology. Background Technology
[0002] In existing inductor winding machine production, the processes of magnetic winding, wire arrangement, enamel stripping, and soldering are all performed on a separate basis for each inductor to achieve automated production of each inductor. However, each process requires a machine for support to facilitate maintenance or disassembly. When the production line is assembled, it occupies a large area. Although the automation efficiency of each inductor production is already relatively high, it still does not maximize energy efficiency.
[0003] When winding inductors, each inductor needs to be wound individually. However, subsequent processes, such as paint stripping and soldering, require different working times for each inductor. A single machine can have multiple working mechanisms working on multiple inductors simultaneously, or a single working mechanism can move rapidly to work on multiple inductors separately. But each process in inductor production requires precise positioning of the inductor at the workstation to ensure the quality of the process. Existing inductor feeding structures cannot simultaneously and accurately position and feed multiple inductors to the workstation or fixture. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a floating feeding device for an inductor production line that can simultaneously and accurately position multiple inductors at a fixture station.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A floating feeding device for an inductor production line is characterized by: including a base, the base having a movable feeding arm, the feeding arm having a magnetic suction element with an exposed surface, the magnetic suction element being able to attract the pins of an inductor, the base having an inductor clamping hand, and the feeding arm being able to move and detach from the inductor when the inductor clamping hand clamps the inductor.
[0007] The floating feeding device for an inductor production line as described above is characterized in that: the inductor clamping hand includes two clamping arms and a drive to open and close the two clamping arms, and the magnetic suction element of the feeding arm is located between the two clamping arms.
[0008] The floating feeding device for the inductor production line described above is characterized in that: the feeding arm is connected to a feeding drive, and the feeding drive drives the feeding arm to move closer to or away from the clamping end of the inductor clamping hand.
[0009] The floating feeding device for an inductor production line as described above is characterized in that: the magnetic suction component has a horizontal surface opposite to the inductor pin.
[0010] The floating feeding device for the inductor production line described above is characterized in that: the feeding arm is provided with a plurality of magnetic suction components, and the inductor clamping hand corresponds to a plurality of the magnetic suction components.
[0011] The floating feeding device for an inductor production line as described above is characterized in that: there is a gap between two adjacent inductor grippers, the feeding arm includes a connecting seat connecting its power output end and a feeding rod located between the grippers of the inductor grippers, the connecting seat is provided with a connecting member extending from between two adjacent inductor grippers and connecting the feeding rod, and the magnetic suction member is provided on the feeding rod.
[0012] The floating feeding device for the inductor production line described above is characterized in that: there are multiple connecting members, which are arranged parallel to each other between the connecting seat and the feeding rod.

[0015] The floating feeding device for the inductor production line described above is characterized in that: the feeding drive is provided on the opening and closing drive of the inductor clamping hand.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] In this invention, the magnetic suction device on the feeding rod attracts the inductor pins (the pins are metal needles) to the surface of the magnetic suction device. When the magnetic ring is placed downwards at the fixture station, the inductor pins can move on the surface of the magnetic suction device to adapt to the guidance of the fixture station, allowing the magnetic ring to enter the fixture station. Multiple magnetic suction devices on the feeding rod can simultaneously place multiple inductors. The pins of each inductor float and move on the surface of the magnetic suction device to adapt to the corresponding fixture station, realizing the simultaneous and accurate feeding of multiple inductor magnetic rings. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for high-precision positioning during the inductor placement process, reducing the accuracy requirements of the entire feeding device and improving the working efficiency of the production line.

[0020] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a feeding fixture according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a floating loading device for an inductor production line includes a base 1, a movable loading arm 2 on the base 1, and a magnetic suction element 3 with an exposed flat surface on the loading arm 2. The flat surface of the magnetic suction element 3 can attract the pins of an inductor 5. The base 1 is equipped with an inductor clamping hand 4. When the inductor clamping hand 4 clamps the inductor 5, the loading arm 2 can move and detach from the inductor 5. The magnetic suction element 3 on the loading arm 2 can attract the pins 51 of the inductor 5, thereby driving the inductor 5 to move. After the loading arm 2 transfers the inductor 5 to the workstation of the fixture 6, the inductor clamping hand 4 works to clamp the base of the inductor 5, and then the loading arm 2 moves, thereby causing the inductor 5 to detach from the loading arm 2 within the workstation of the fixture 6. During the placement of inductor 5, inductor 5 is not restricted around its perimeter. If a deviation is found when inductor 5 is placed into the station of fixture 6, inductor 5 will move due to the restriction of the station, while pin 51 will remain attracted to magnetic component 3, thereby allowing inductor 5 to be accurately placed into the station of fixture 6.
[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inductor clamping hand 4 includes two clamping arms 41 and an opening and closing drive 42 for driving the two clamping arms 41. The magnetic suction member 3 of the loading arm 2 is located between the two clamping arms 41. The loading arm 2 drives the magnetic suction member 3 to move away from or closer to the clamping end between the two clamping arms 41. After the inductor is in place, the two clamping arms 41 clamp the inductor base, and the loading arm 2 can be disengaged from the inductor 5 by moving. The loading arm 2 being located between the two clamping arms 41 is beneficial for the inductor 5 to be evenly separated from the magnetic suction member 3 when it is clamped.
[0024] Furthermore, the loading arm 2 is connected to a loading drive 20 that drives its movement, and the loading drive 20 is mounted on the opening and closing drive of the inductive gripper 4. The structure is more compact, the travel distance of the loading arm 2 is shorter, and power is saved.
[0025] Preferably, the magnetic attractor 3 has a horizontal surface opposite to the inductor pin. This ensures the horizontal placement of the inductor 5 and the maximum attraction force on the inductor 5.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, it is suitable for simultaneous feeding of multiple inductors. The feeding arm 2 is equipped with multiple magnetic suction components 3, and multiple inductor grippers 4 correspond to the magnetic suction components 3. The planes on the magnetic suction components 3 on the feeding arm 2 that attract the inductor leads are all horizontally aligned, ensuring that the multiple inductors 5 attracted simultaneously remain horizontally aligned. Each inductor gripper 4 grips the corresponding inductor 5 during feeding. As the feeding arm 2 moves, multiple inductors 5 are simultaneously separated and fed. Each inductor 5 can adaptively move on the surface of the magnetic suction component 3 when entering the corresponding station of the fixture 6, facilitating precise placement into the corresponding station and reducing the precision requirements for the movement of the feeding arm 2. The multiple magnetic suction components 3 can also be a single, sufficiently long, integral magnetic suction component, corresponding to multiple stations and multiple inductor grippers of the fixture 6. Of course, a magnetic suction component with multiple magnetic suction components 3 corresponding to multiple inductors is less expensive.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, there is a gap between two adjacent inductive grippers 4. The loading arm 2 includes a connecting seat 21 connecting its power output end (i.e., the output end of the loading drive 20) and a loading rod 22 located between the gripping arms of the inductive grippers 4. The connecting seat 21 is provided with a connecting member 23 extending from between two adjacent inductive grippers 4 and connecting to the loading rod 22. A magnetic suction member 3 is provided on the lower surface of the loading rod 22, facing the gripping port of the inductive gripper 4. The connecting member 23 is inserted between adjacent inductive grippers, which is more conducive to the compact structure of the entire device. One connecting seat 21 drives one or more loading rods 22 to move, ensuring the synchronous movement of each inductor 5.
[0028] There can be one connector 23. The feeding rod 22 passes through multiple inductor clamping hands 4 to ensure the synchronization of inductor 5 feeding. For a smoother feeding process, multiple connectors 23 are preferred, arranged parallel to each other between the connecting seat 21 and the feeding rod 22. When transporting multiple inductors, the feeding rod 22 moves more stably. Of course, each connector 23 can be connected to a feeding rod 22 at its front end, but a single integrated feeding rod 22 is more beneficial for workpiece processing.
[0029] Preferably, the connecting seat 21, the feeding rod 22, and the connecting piece 23 are integrally formed. This avoids deviations and displacements in the connection after prolonged use due to separate connection, and promotes more stable and accurate feeding.
[0030] To prevent the connecting seat 21 from tilting or shifting at the output end of the feeding drive 20 when multiple inductors 5 are fed simultaneously, the feeding drive 20 has at least two power output rods 201, preferably three power output rods 201. A transition seat 202 is provided between the multiple power output rods 201 and the feeding arm 2. The transition seat 202 and the connecting seat 21 are in surface-to-surface contact to avoid the movement error of the multiple power output rods 201 causing instability in the movement of the feeding arm 2.
[0031] This utility model has a compact structure. It utilizes the attraction force between the magnetic suction component 3 and the pin 51 of the inductor 5 to allow the inductor 5 to adaptively adjust its deviation and accurately enter the workstation of the fixture 6 when the magnetic ring of the inductor 5 enters the workstation. The inductor clamping hand 4 separates the inductor 5 from the magnetic suction component 3. The movement of the pin 51 of the inductor 5 on the surface of the magnetic suction component 3 is equivalent to floating feeding, which realizes the accurate entry of multiple inductors 5 into the workstation at the same time, and maximizes the production capacity of the inductor automated production line. Figure 3 The fixture 6 shown is a schematic diagram of multiple inductors 5 loaded simultaneously. The floating inductors 5 are schematic diagrams of wound inductors, where the winding is not shown.
