Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a flipping feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing of electronic components such as inductors and transformers, it is common to precisely wind copper wire onto specific ring-shaped mounting brackets, i.e., wire loops. This winding process is usually completed by specialized winding equipment. Before winding, the wire loops need to be processed through different steps. During this process, a loading device is required to transfer the wire loops to different workstations. Most existing loading devices are positioning post type racks. Operators or robots directly place the wire loops one by one onto a set of vertically or horizontally positioned posts to achieve batch storage and transfer. To ensure that the wire loops do not loosen or shake during transportation, the positioning posts and the inner holes of the wire loops are usually designed to have a very small gap for a tight fit. While this ensures positioning accuracy, it also leads to increased static friction, making the wire loops seem to be "adsorbed" onto the positioning posts, further increasing the difficulty of removal. Utility Model Content

A first driving device is mounted on the frame to drive the flipping frame to rotate along a vertical plane. The flipping frame has multiple positioning posts along its length for positioning winding rings, each positioning post positioning one winding ring. A push-out plate is mounted on each side of the flipping frame along its rotation axis. Each push-out plate is connected to a second driving device that can drive it to move along the width direction of the flipping frame. The first driving device drives the flipping frame to rotate, thereby exchanging the positions of the push-out plates. After the exchange, the push-out plate, driven by the corresponding second driving device, can push the winding ring located on one side of the flipping frame from the corresponding positioning post.

[0022] A flipping and feeding device includes a frame 1, on which a flipping frame 2 is rotatably mounted. A first driving device 3 is mounted on the frame 1 to drive the flipping frame 2 to rotate along a vertical plane. The flipping frame 2 has multiple positioning posts 4 along its length for positioning winding rings 40, each positioning post 4 positioning one winding ring 40. An ejector plate 5a, 5b is respectively mounted on both sides of the flipping frame 2 along its rotation axis. Each ejector plate 5a, 5b is connected to a second driving device that can drive it to move along the width direction of the flipping frame 2. The first driving device 3 drives the flipping frame 2 to rotate, thereby exchanging the positions of the ejector plates 5a, 5b. After the exchange, the ejector plates 5a, 5b, driven by the corresponding second driving device, can eject the winding ring 40 located on one side of the flipping frame 2 from the corresponding positioning post 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the ejector plates 5a and 5b include a base plate 51, on which a through hole is provided for the positioning post 4 to pass through, and the base plate 51 is also provided with a relief groove 52 for avoiding the winding ring 40; the through hole is located on the base plate 51 between adjacent relief grooves 52.

[0024] Furthermore, the second driving device includes two telescopic cylinders 61, the cylinder bodies of the two telescopic cylinders 61 are respectively fixed on the tilting frame 2, and the ends of their piston rods are connected to the ejector plates 5a and 5b to drive the ejector plates 5a and 5b to move horizontally.

[0025] Furthermore, the flipping frame 2 includes a square frame 21, and at least one reinforcing rod 22 is fixedly installed inside the square frame 21.

[0026] Furthermore, the inner ring wall of the winding ring 40 is provided with an axially extending notch 401; the body of the positioning post 4 is provided with a radially protruding positioning protrusion 402; the winding ring 40 is fitted into the positioning post 4 through its inner ring wall, and the installation and positioning are achieved by the engagement of the notch 401 and the positioning protrusion 402.

[0027] Furthermore, the first driving device 3 is a rotary motor.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] The frame 1 of this application is rotatably equipped with a tilting frame 2. As an embodiment 1, the first driving device 3 can be a rotary motor, used to drive the tilting frame 2 to rotate 180 degrees in the vertical plane. The tilting frame 2 has a top-out plate slidably arranged on both sides (defined as the front and rear sides for ease of description) along its rotation axis, namely top-out plate A 5a and top-out plate B 5b. Each top-out plate 5a, 5b is connected to an independently drivable second driving device. In the initial state, top-out plate A 5a is located on the front side, and top-out plate B 5b is located on the rear side. The operator, on the side of top-out plate A 5a, inserts the winding rings 40 one by one into the positioning posts 4 on that side to complete the loading. At this time, the second driving devices on both sides A and B are in a retracted state, and the top-out plates do not interfere with the loading.

[0030] After the front loading is completed, the first drive device 3 drives the tilting frame 2 to rotate 180 degrees. This action causes the fully loaded A ejector plate 5a to move from the front to the rear, while the unloaded B ejector plate 5b moves from the rear to the front. After the tilting is completed, the second drive device drives the A ejector plate 5a to move horizontally, partially or completely ejecting the corresponding winding ring 40 (i.e., the winding ring 40 that has just been tilted and completed the previous process) from the positioning post 4. This greatly facilitates the operator or robot to remove it from the positioning post 4, thus allowing it to quickly enter the next processing step. At the same time, the operator can continue to perform a new round of loading operations at the B ejector plate 5b station, which has been moved to the front, and install the new winding ring 40 onto the positioning post 4 on that side.

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, the ejector plate of this application includes a base plate 51, on which a plurality of clearance grooves 52 are spaced apart. Through holes for the positioning post 4 to move are formed on the base plate 51 adjacent to the clearance grooves 52, ensuring that the ejector plates 5a and 5b can move in a preset horizontal direction under the push of the second driving device, effectively preventing skewing, jamming, or interference with the positioning post 4 during movement. The clearance grooves 52 are designed to allow the winding ring 40 to be inserted into the positioning post 4 without obstruction. This application uses two telescopic cylinders 61 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ejector plate and driven synchronously, forming a balanced force system, eliminating uneven lateral forces, and ensuring that the ejector plate can move smoothly and without jamming horizontally.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, this application designs the flipping frame 2 as a U-shaped frame 21. The reinforcing rod 22 added inside the U-shaped frame 21 further divides the large frame into smaller rectangular stabilizing units, which greatly improves the ability of the entire frame to resist torsional deformation and prevents jamming or vibration caused by deformation.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, this application provides a radially protruding positioning protrusion 402 on the body of the positioning post 4. This positioning protrusion 402 corresponds to the axial notch 401 of the winding ring 40. When the winding ring 40 is fitted into the positioning post 4, the side wall of the notch 401 contacts and engages with the side wall of the positioning protrusion 402. At this time, the two form a tight fit in the circumferential direction, restricting the free rotation of the winding ring 40 around the axis of the positioning post 4. This design can prevent the winding ring 40 from falling off when the flipping frame 2 is flipped.

[0034] This utility model uses the first driving device 3 to drive the flipping frame 2 to flip, realizing the interchangeability of the positioning posts 4 on both sides. When unloading is required, the ejector plate can act on multiple winding rings 40 simultaneously under the action of the second driving device to push them off the positioning posts 4, solving the problem of difficulty in taking the winding rings 40 off the positioning posts 4 in the prior art. In addition, the notch 401 on the inner wall of the winding ring 40 engages with the protrusion on the positioning post 4, realizing the precise circumferential positioning of the winding ring 40, effectively preventing it from falling off during the flipping process and ensuring product quality.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
