Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inductor coil manufacturing technology, and in particular to a dual-station inductor coil dispensing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, the production of inductor coils often requires the use of dispensing processes to achieve functions such as fixing and insulation. The performance of the dispensing equipment directly affects production efficiency and product quality. Currently, most widely used inductor coil dispensing equipment is a single-station design, meaning it is equipped with only one set of material handling mechanism, tooling, and dispensing components, with all operations performed sequentially around a single station.
[0003] In actual operation, single-station dispensing equipment has significant defects, specifically: when picking up and positioning a single inductor coil, the dispensing component is idle; while when the dispensing component is working, the picking mechanism cannot simultaneously prepare for picking up and placing the next workpiece, making it difficult for the various components of the equipment to achieve efficient coordination, resulting in low overall operating efficiency and failing to meet the needs of large-scale mass production.
[0004] Furthermore, as inductor coils become smaller and more precise, the requirements for dispensing speed and accuracy are constantly increasing. Traditional single-station dispensing equipment is limited by a single operation process, resulting in complex parameter adjustments, long changeover cycles, and poor adaptability when dealing with products of different specifications, further hindering the improvement of production efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent for technical personnel to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the left-side telescopic material handling mechanism also includes a first position sensor, a second position sensor, a translational motion sensor, and a first rotational motion sensor; the first position sensor is mounted on a substrate and works in conjunction with the translational motion sensor driven by the output end of the Y-direction power unit to provide feedback on the Y-direction position of the first and second grippers by sensing the relative position change between the two; the second position sensor is mounted on a rear-mounted rotary motor and works in conjunction with the first rotational motion sensor mounted on a gripper cylinder to provide feedback on the phase angle of the first and second grippers by monitoring their circumferential relative position.
[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the left-positioned inductor coil bearing fixture and the right-positioned inductor coil bearing fixture have the same design structure; the left-positioned inductor coil bearing fixture includes a support base, a front rotary motor, and a bearing jig; the support base is used to support the front rotary motor, which is mounted on a base plate; the output shaft of the front rotary motor is connected to the bearing jig to drive the bearing jig to rotate circumferentially; the bearing jig is provided with a positioning and clamping structure adapted to the inductor coil.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] In the electronics manufacturing industry, inductors are core components for electromagnetic energy conversion and signal transmission, and their manufacturing process places stringent requirements on stability and reliability. The dispensing process is one of the key steps in ensuring the performance of inductors. By precisely applying specific types of adhesives (such as thermally conductive adhesives and insulating adhesives), the coil windings and other components are firmly fixed, preventing structural loosening caused by vibration or temperature changes. This also creates an insulating barrier between components, avoiding the risk of short circuits.
[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 , Figure 2The diagram shows the structure of the dual-station inductor coil dispensing equipment disclosed in this utility model. It is mainly composed of a substrate 1, a support frame 2, a dispensing machine 3, a left telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 4, a right telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 5, a left inductor coil carrying fixture 6, and a right inductor coil carrying fixture 7. The support frame 2, using the substrate 1 as its mounting base, bears the load for the dispensing machine 3, ensuring structural stability during the dispensing process. The left telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 4, the right telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 5, the left inductor coil carrying fixture 6, and the right inductor coil carrying fixture 7 are all detachably fixed to the substrate 1, forming symmetrically distributed working units. Specifically, the left telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 4 and the left inductor coil carrying fixture 6 work together to form an independent left station, and the right telescopic material-grabbing mechanism 5 and the right inductor coil carrying fixture 7 work together to form an independent right station. The working radius of the dispensing machine 3 simultaneously covers both the left and right stations.
[0026] After the left-side inductor coil carrier fixture 6 at the left workstation completes the loading and clamping of the inductor coil to be dispensed via an external robotic arm, the left-side telescopic picking mechanism 4 picks up the coil from the left-side inductor coil carrier fixture 6, adjusts it to a preset posture, and moves it to the dispensing area of the left workstation to complete the picking and positioning. At the same time, the right workstation is simultaneously performing the dispensing operation, that is, the right-side inductor coil carrier fixture 7 has been loaded by the external robotic arm, and the right-side telescopic picking mechanism 5 has also picked up the coil from the carrier fixture and moved it to the dispensing area of the right workstation, and the dispensing machine then starts the dispensing operation. After the right workstation completes the dispensing, the right-side telescopic picking mechanism 5 moves the dispensed coil back to the right-side inductor coil carrier fixture 7, and the external robotic arm performs the unloading operation; at this time, the left workstation has completed the picking and positioning, the dispensing machine switches to the left workstation and starts the dispensing operation.
[0027] In the above technical solution, the collaborative operation design of the left and right workstations enables parallel processing of operations such as material picking and positioning, dispensing, and unloading: when the left workstation picks and positions the material, the right workstation simultaneously performs the dispensing operation; when the right workstation performs the unloading operation, the left workstation simultaneously performs the dispensing operation. This ensures that the dual-workstation inductor coil dispensing equipment is always in a highly efficient and collaborative working state, significantly shortening the processing cycle of a single inductor coil and meeting the production efficiency requirements of large-scale mass production.
[0028] It should be further explained that the left station is independently equipped with a left-side telescopic material handling mechanism 4 and a left-side inductor coil carrying fixture 6, while the right station is independently equipped with a right-side telescopic material handling mechanism 5 and a right-side inductor coil carrying fixture 7. This allows the two stations to preset and adjust parameters for inductor coils of different specifications. Furthermore, when dealing with product changes, the left and right stations can be switched alternately and adapted quickly, and the dispensing machine does not need to stop waiting, significantly improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment in multi-variety, small-batch production scenarios.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the dispensing machine 3 consists of several parts, including an X-axis power unit 31, a Z-axis power unit 32, and a dispensing head 33. The X-axis power unit 31 is mounted on a support frame 2, and its output end is rigidly connected to the Z-axis power unit 32 to drive the Z-axis power unit 32 and the dispensing head 33 to move horizontally, enabling stable switching of the dispensing head 33 between the left and right workstations. The output end of the Z-axis power unit 32 is directly connected to the dispensing head 33, driving the dispensing head 33 to perform lifting and lowering movements along the height direction. By adjusting the vertical distance between the dispensing head and the inductor coil to be dispensed, it flexibly adapts to the dispensing requirements of coils with different height specifications.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the left telescopic material handling mechanism 4 and the right telescopic material handling mechanism 5 adopt a completely identical modular design.
[0031] To save space, this explanation will only use the left-side telescopic material handling mechanism 4 as an example. Figure 4 As shown, the left-side telescopic material handling mechanism 4 includes a Y-axis power unit 41, a rear-mounted rotary motor 42, a gripper cylinder 43, a first gripper 44, and a second gripper 45. The Y-axis power unit 41 uses the substrate 1 as its mounting base, and its output end is connected to the rear-mounted rotary motor 42, driving the rear-mounted rotary motor 42 to reciprocate along the Y-axis, achieving linear transfer between the material handling position and the dispensing area. The output shaft of the rear-mounted rotary motor 42 is rigidly connected to the gripper cylinder 43, enabling the gripper cylinder 43 to rotate circumferentially and precisely adjust the phase angle of the gripped coil. The output end of the gripper cylinder 43 is equipped with a first gripper 44 and a second gripper 45 that work in tandem, achieving synchronous opening and closing via pneumatic drive to stably grip inductor coils of different specifications.
[0032] Furthermore, by Figure 4 As can be clearly seen in the diagram, the left-side telescopic material handling mechanism 4 is also equipped with a first position sensor 46, a second position sensor 47, a translational motion sensor 48, and a first rotational motion sensor 49. The first position sensor 46 is fixed to the base plate 1 and works in conjunction with the translational motion sensor 48, which is driven by the output end of the Y-axis power unit 41. By monitoring the relative position changes of the two in real time, it accurately feeds back the real-time Y-axis position of the first gripper 44 and the second gripper 56, ensuring the accuracy of the coil transfer path. The second position sensor 47 is mounted on the rear-mounted rotary motor 42 and works in conjunction with the first rotational motion sensor 49, which is fixed to the gripper cylinder 43. By capturing the circumferential relative position relationship between the two, it provides real-time feedback on the phase angle of the first gripper 44 and the second gripper 56, ensuring the accuracy of the coil attitude adjustment.
[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the left-side inductor coil carrier fixture 6 and the right-side inductor coil carrier fixture 7 adopt a completely identical modular design.
[0034] To save space, this explanation will only use the left-side inductor coil carrier fixture 6 as an example. Figure 5 As shown, the left-side inductor coil support fixture 6 consists of a support base 61, a front rotary motor 62, and a support jig 63. The support base 61, with the base plate 1 as its mounting foundation, primarily supports the front rotary motor 62. The output shaft of the front rotary motor 62 is connected to the support jig 63, driving the support jig 63 to perform circumferential rotation.
[0035] As Figure 6 As shown, the support fixture 63 is equipped with a positioning and clamping structure 631 that precisely matches the shape of the inductor coil. Its inner side employs an elastic gripper design (not shown in the figure), which not only restricts the radial displacement of the coil through the contoured groove but also achieves axial clamping with pre-tightening force, ensuring that the coil does not loosen or shift when clamped by the external robot arm and picked up by the left-side telescopic material handling mechanism 4. It is worth noting that there are four positioning and clamping structures 631, evenly distributed circumferentially along the central axis of the support fixture 63 (the angle between adjacent structures is 90°). This enables continuous "one-to-one" operation; that is, when one positioning and clamping structure 631 is in the picking position, the external robot arm can simultaneously load the other positioning and clamping structure 631 facing away, significantly shortening the waiting time for a single process and further improving the feeding efficiency of the left station.
[0036] like Figure 5 As clearly shown, the left-side inductor coil support fixture 6 is also equipped with a third position sensor 64 and a second rotational motion sensor 65. The third position sensor 64 is mounted on the support base 61, while the second rotational motion sensor 65 is mounted on the support fixture 63 and rotates synchronously with it. The third position sensor 64 and the second rotational motion sensor 65 work together through non-contact sensing to capture real-time changes in the circumferential position of the support fixture 63 and accurately report its rotation angle. When the support fixture 63 rotates to a preset angle (e.g., when the positioning clamping structure 631 precisely aligns with the material picking position), the third position sensor 64 triggers a signal to stop the front rotary motor 62, ensuring that each positioning clamping structure 631 can accurately rotate to the designated position, providing a reliable positional reference for the external robot's loading and the left-side telescopic picking mechanism 4's precise material picking.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
