[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rolling ring and circular magnet assembly equipment includes a machine table 10, a rotating disk 20, a glue dispensing mechanism 30, a magnet feeding mechanism 40, a pressing mechanism 50 and a feeding mechanism 60, the rotating disk 20 is rotatably arranged on the machine table 10, and a plurality of positioning fixtures 200 for carrying the rolling ring 101 are provided on the rotating disk 20, the glue dispensing mechanism 30 is arranged on the machine table 10 and is located beside the rotating disk 20, the glue dispensing mechanism 30 includes an annular track driving component 31, a lifting module 32 and a glue dispensing cylinder 33, the lifting module 32 is arranged at the output end of the annular track driving component 31, and the glue dispensing cylinder 33 is arranged at the output end of the lifting module 32 for The magnet loading mechanism 40 is arranged on the machine 10 and is located beside the rotating disk 20. The magnet loading mechanism 40 includes a feeder 41 and a material moving assembly 42. The material moving assembly 42 is used to move the magnet piece 102 fed by the feeder 41 to the rolling ring 101 which is located on the positioning fixture 200 and has been glued. The pressing mechanism 50 is arranged on the machine 10 and is located beside the rotating disk 20 and is used to press the magnet piece 102 onto the rolling ring 101. The unloading mechanism 60 is arranged on the machine 10 and is located beside the rotating disk 20, and is used to load and unload the product (the combined rolling ring 101 and the magnet piece 102) from the positioning fixture 200.

[0033] In the present invention, a pair of rollers 101 are placed in a pair of positioning grooves on the positioning fixture 200 by manual operation or a robot, the rotating disk 20 drives the positioning fixture 200 to move to the bottom of the dispensing mechanism 30, and makes the roller in one positioning groove be located below the dispensing cylinder 33, the lifting module 32 drives the dispensing cylinder 33 to move down until the end portion extends into the mounting groove 100 of the roller 101, and starts the dispensing action, while the dispensing cylinder 33 is dispensing, the annular track driving component 31 drives the lifting module 32 and the dispensing cylinder 33 to make a circular motion, and at least a ring-shaped glue layer is applied in the mounting groove 100, when the mounting groove 100 on the roller 101 in one mounting groove 100 completes the dispensing action, the rotating disk 20 rotates a corresponding angle to dispense glue in another positioning groove. Glue is dispensed in the mounting groove 100 on the rolling ring 101. After the glue dispensing action is completed, the rotating disk 20 drives the rolling ring 101 after glue dispensing to rotate to the bottom of the magnet feeding mechanism 40. The material moving component 42 moves the magnet part 102 fed by the feeder 41 to the mounting groove 100 of the rolling ring 101 on the positioning fixture 200. The rotating disk 20 drives the rolling ring 101 and the magnet part 102 to rotate to the bottom of the pressing mechanism 50. The pressing mechanism 50 presses the magnet part 102 into the mounting groove 100 of the rolling ring 101 to form a firm bond with the rolling ring 101. The rotating disk 20 drives the rolling ring 101 and the magnet part 102 after bonding to rotate to the bottom of the unloading mechanism 60. The unloading mechanism 60 loads and unloads the product (the combined rolling ring 101 and the magnet part 102) from the positioning fixture 200.

[0034] Specifically, the pressing mechanism 50 includes a pressing cylinder 51 and a pressing plate 52 arranged at the output end of the pressing cylinder 51. The pressing cylinder 51 drives the pressing plate 52 to press the magnet 102 into the installation groove of the roller 101 and maintain the pressure to achieve stable bonding. The unloading mechanism 60 includes a picking part 61 and a feeding line 62 arranged next to the picking part 61. The picking part 61 can absorb the assembled product in the positioning fixture 200 and place it on the feeding line 62 for unloading the product.

[0035] In the present invention, the glue dispensing mechanism 30 dispenses glue into the mounting groove 100 of the rolling ring 101. The process of glue dispensing to form an annular glue layer is achieved through the annular track driving component 31, rather than through the conventional direct connection between the rotating driving member (such as a rotating motor) and the glue dispensing cylinder 33. This avoids the rotation of the glue dispensing cylinder 33 alone, and instead rotates the glue dispensing cylinder 33 and the lifting module 32 installed thereon as an integral platform. This can have better movement stability during the glue dispensing process, ensure the uniformity of glue dispensing, and facilitate the accurate and reliable bonding of the magnet part 102 to the rolling ring 101. The present invention also realizes automatic loading of the magnet part 102 through the magnet feeding mechanism 40, and can load the magnet part 102 into the mounting groove 100 of the rolling ring 101 through the pressing mechanism 50 so that it can be firmly bonded to the rolling ring 101, thereby improving the automation level and processing efficiency of the entire product processing.

[0036] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the annular trajectory driving component 31 includes a Y-axis linear module 311 and an X-axis linear module 312 which are vertically arranged. The Y-axis linear module 311 is arranged on the machine table 10, and the X-axis linear module 312 is arranged at the output end of the Y-axis linear module 311. The lifting module 32 is arranged on the X-axis linear module 312. Both the Y-axis linear module 311 and the X-axis linear module 312 can use servo mechanisms, such as servo electric cylinders, etc. Through the coordinated movement of the two, the dispensing cylinder 33 can be driven to form a precise circular trajectory.

[0037] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the material moving assembly 42 includes a feeding part 421 and a material moving part 422, the feeding part 421 includes a first translation cylinder 4211, a first translation plate 4212, a first lifting cylinder 4213 and a first positioning plate 4214, the first translation plate 4212 is placed at the output end of the first translation cylinder 4211, and is located at the lower end of the feeder 41 (the feeder 41 is a magazine feeder that uses gravity to feed the magnet member 102 from top to bottom), and the upper end surface of the end of the first translation plate 4212 is provided with A first positioning groove 4210 is used to embed the magnet part 102, and a first lifting cylinder 4213 is provided at the lower end. A first positioning plate 4214 is provided at the output end of the first lifting cylinder 4213. A first magnet 421a is provided on the first positioning plate 4214. The first magnet 421a adsorbs the magnet part 102 located in the first positioning groove 4210. The material moving part 422 absorbs the magnet part 102 and the first magnet 421a is driven away from the magnet part 102 to place the magnet part 102 in the positioning groove in the positioning fixture 200. The action process of the feeding part 421 is as follows: the first translation cylinder 4211 drives the first translation plate 4212 to move so that the first positioning groove 4210 is located below the feeder 41. Due to the action of gravity, a pair of magnet members 102 located at the bottom end of the feeder 41 fall into a pair of first positioning grooves 4210 respectively. The first translation cylinder 4211 drives the first translation plate 4212 to move toward the material moving part 422, which can drive the pair of magnet members 102 located in the first positioning grooves 4210 to separate from the feeder 41. At the same time, the upper end surface of the first translation plate 4212 abuts against and supports the magnet member 102 that has descended to the bottom end in the feeder 41. When the first translation plate 4212 is driven to translate, the first lifting cylinder 4213 drives the first lifting cylinder 4213 to move the first translation plate 4212 to move toward the material moving part 422. A positioning plate 4214 moves upward, so that the magnetic field of the first magnet 421a on the first positioning plate 4214 passes through the first translation plate 4212 and is adsorbed with the magnet part 102 in the first positioning groove 4210, which can ensure the stability of the magnet part 102 during the feeding process. After the first translation plate 4212 moves to a position close to the material moving part 422, the magnet part 102 is stably fed into place, and the material moving part 422 absorbs the magnet part 102, and at the same time, the first lifting cylinder 4213 drives the first positioning plate 4214 and the first magnet 421a to move downward so that the first magnet 421a and the magnet part 102 no longer have an adsorption effect, and the material moving part 422 moves the magnet part 102 to the mounting groove 100 of the rolling ring 101 on the positioning fixture 200.

[0038] The specific structure of the material transfer part 422 includes a translation electric cylinder 4221, a vertical cylinder 4222 and a suction head (not shown), the mounting bracket 400 is arranged on the machine 10, the translation electric cylinder 4221 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting bracket 400, the vertical cylinder 4222 is arranged at the output end of the translation electric cylinder 4221, and the suction head is arranged at the lower end of the vertical cylinder 4222 for sucking the magnet 102, and the magnet 102 located in the first positioning groove 4210 is transferred to the roller 101 through the coordinated action of the translation electric cylinder 4221 and the vertical cylinder 4222 in the vertical plane. Of course, the feeder 41 is also arranged on the mounting bracket 400. It should be noted that the material picking part 62 has the same structure as the material moving part 422, that is, it also has a translation drive component (equivalent to the translation electric cylinder 4221), a vertical drive component (equivalent to the vertical cylinder 4222) and a suction head, which are used to coordinate actions to complete translation and lifting in the vertical plane.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the material moving assembly 42 includes a second translation cylinder 4231, a second translation plate 4232, a second lifting cylinder 4233 and a second positioning plate 4234. The second translation plate 4232 is arranged at the output end of the second translation cylinder 4231 and is located at the lower end of the feeder 41. A through groove 4230 is provided at the end of the second translation plate 4232. A bottom plate 4235 is hinged on the lower ends of a pair of opposite side walls in the through groove 4230 for supporting the magnet member 102 located in the through groove 4230. A second magnet 423a is provided on the lower end surface of the bottom plate 4235. The second lifting cylinder 4233 is arranged at the lower end of the second translation plate 4232, and a second positioning plate 4234 is provided at the output end. A third magnet 423b is provided on the second positioning plate 4234, which is opposite to the second magnet 423a and repel each other. When a pair of magnets 102 in the feeder 41 fall into the through-groove 4230, due to the repulsive force between the third magnet 423b and the second magnet 423a, the second magnet 423a is located at a high position to make the bottom plate 4235 horizontal and at least partially block the lower end of the through-groove 4230 for carrying the magnet 102. When the end of the second translation plate 4232 is located above the positioning groove on the positioning fixture 200 (the positioning fixture 200 can be set at the side of the rotating disk 20), the second positioning plate 4234 is located on the side of the positioning fixture 200, and as the second lifting cylinder 4233 moves downward, the second positioning plate 4234 and the third magnet 423b move downward synchronously. The repulsive force between the third magnet 423b and the second magnet 423a disappears due to the increase in distance, and the bottom plate 4235 can be rotated to open the through-groove 4230, so that the magnet 102 falls into the positioning groove in the positioning fixture 200. In this embodiment, the magnet member 102 can be fed more conveniently and accurately, and there is no need to set up the suction part 422 to transfer the magnet member 102, which further simplifies the structure of the entire device; it should be noted that when the bottom plate 4235 is rotated from a horizontal state to open the through slot 4230, it can be prevented from being in a vertical state by abutting against it by a limit piece set at the lower end of the second translation plate 4232, but the through slot 4230 is opened in an inclined state to release the magnet member 102, which makes it easier for the second translation plate 4232 to move upward after being driven by the second lifting cylinder 4233 to repel the third magnet 423b and the second magnet 423a, so that the bottom plate 4235 is in a horizontal state; in addition, the second magnet 423a can be only set at the lower end of the bottom plate 4235 near the side, especially at the side close to each other, so as to better repel the third magnet 423b.

[0040] The through groove 4230 is a circular groove, and there is a gap 4235′ between a pair of bottom plates 4235. The bottom plate 4235 can support the magnet part 102, and because of its shorter rotation distance, it will not interfere with the positioning fixture 200 or the roller 101; the bottom plate 4235 is made of magnetic isolation material, which can avoid obvious mutual attraction or mutual repulsion between the magnet part 102 and the second magnet 423a or the third magnet 423b.

[0041] For example Figure 1 As shown, the assembly equipment also includes a visual inspection mechanism 70 arranged next to the dispensing mechanism 30. The visual inspection mechanism includes a camera 71 and a light source 72, which can perform online inspection on the shape and uniformity of the dispensing of the dispensing mechanism 30.

[0042] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
