[0047] In this embodiment 1, the conveyor line 3 conveys the accompanying tooling 4; the four workstations, namely the upper plate loading mechanism 5, the magnetic block loading mechanism 1, the lower plate loading mechanism 6 and the riveting mechanism 7, are all equipped with positioning and lifting tooling for allowing the accompanying tooling 4 to run to the workstation and stay at the workstation after being separated from the conveyor line 3; the specific structure and working principle of the positioning and lifting tooling adopt the existing technology.

[0048] In this embodiment 1, the upper panel loading mechanism 5 and the lower panel loading mechanism 6 have the same structure. The upper panel loading mechanism 5 is used to load the upper panel b onto the accompanying tooling 4. The magnetic block loading mechanism 1 is used to load the magnetic block a and assemble it into the receiving groove of the upper panel b. The lower panel loading mechanism 6 is used to load the lower panel c. The lower panel c is covered on the upper panel b. The riveting mechanism 7 is used to fix the upper panel b and the lower panel c together to form a magnetic toy. The riveting mechanism 7 adopts the existing technology. The finished product unloading mechanism 8 is used to remove the finished magnetic toy from the accompanying tooling 4 and transfer it to the belt conveyor 9. The belt conveyor 9 outputs the finished magnetic toy.

[0049] In this embodiment 1, the upper panel feeding mechanism 5 and the lower panel feeding mechanism 6 both include a No. 1 support 51, a panel silo 52 and a panel clamping cylinder 53. The No. 1 support 51 is mounted on the frame 2 and spans the conveyor line 3. The panel silo 52 is mounted on the No. 1 support 51, and a layer of upper panels or lower panels stacked from bottom to top are placed in the panel silo 52; two panel clamping cylinders 53 are provided, and the two panel clamping cylinders 53 are relatively mounted on the No. 1 support 51, which are located on both sides of the bottom of the panel silo 52, and are used to clamp the lowest panel in the first layer of upper panels or lower panels; when the upper panel or lower panel needs to be loaded, the two panel clamping cylinders 53 release the clamping effect on the lowest panel, so that the first layer of panels as a whole drops by one panel height, and the lowest panel falls on the accompanying tooling 4.

[0050] Specifically, the panel silo 52 is surrounded by eight columns 521 to form a receiving space for placing the first upper panel or the lower panel; the bottom and top of the eight columns 521 are respectively inserted on two mounting plates 522, wherein the mounting plate 522 at the bottom is fixedly connected to the first support 51, and the mounting plate 522 at the bottom is provided with notches on two opposite sides. The output end of the cylinder rod of the panel clamping cylinder 53 is provided with a clamping plate 531 that can extend from the notch on the side of the mounting plate 522 into the panel silo 52 to clamp the panel.

[0051] In this embodiment 1, the accompanying tooling 4 includes an outward push cylinder 41, an upper panel clamping cylinder 42, a lifting cylinder 43 and a tooling plate 44. The outward push cylinder 41 is arranged horizontally, the upper panel clamping cylinder 42 is arranged horizontally, and the lifting cylinder 43 is arranged vertically. The upper panel clamping cylinder 42 and the lifting cylinder 43 are both connected to the cylinder rod output end of the outward push cylinder 41. The tooling plate 44 is installed at the cylinder rod output end of the lifting cylinder 43, which is used to place and position the upper panel b; the upper panel clamping cylinder 42 is a double output rod cylinder, and a clamping plate 421 is installed at the end of each output rod, and the upper panel b is clamped by two clamping plates 421. The tooling plate 44 is installed with a guide magnetic block that can attract the magnetic block installed in the receiving groove of the upper panel b and play a role in assisting and guiding the magnetic block to fall and be installed in the receiving groove of the upper panel b.

[0052] In this embodiment 1, the magnetic block loading mechanism 1 adopts an outward push type magnetic block loading, which includes a No. 2 support A11, a magnetic block bin A12, and a magnetic block clamping cylinder A13. The No. 2 support A11 is installed on the frame 2 and spans the conveyor line 3; the magnetic block bin A12 is a cylindrical structure with a long strip shape and a rectangular cross section, and the bottom, top and sides are all open. It is vertically arranged on the No. 2 support A11, and a stack of stacked magnetic blocks a are placed in the magnetic block bin A12; the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 is installed on the No. 2 support A11 in the horizontal direction, and is used to clamp the bottommost magnetic block in the first stack of magnetic blocks. When it is necessary to load the magnetic blocks, the cylinder rod of the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 retracts to release the clamping effect on the bottom magnetic block in the first row of magnetic blocks. The first row of magnetic blocks a in the magnetic block bin A12 drops to a certain height as a whole until the bottom magnetic block in the first row of magnetic blocks falls into the receiving groove of the upper panel b. The outward push cylinder 41 pushes the upper panel clamping cylinder 42 and the lifting cylinder 43 to move horizontally so that the magnetic block installed in the receiving groove of the upper panel b is separated from the magnetic block clamped by the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13.

[0053] In this embodiment 1, the magnetic block bin A12 is inserted into a bin base A14, and the bin base A14 is fixedly installed on the second support A11; the output end of the cylinder rod of the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 is equipped with a push head that can extend from the side opening of the magnetic block bin A12 into the inside of the magnetic block bin A12 to clamp the magnetic block a. In order to meet the requirement of installing two magnetic blocks on one side of the upper panel b, the bin base A14 is designed to be able to insert two magnetic block bins A12 side by side. Accordingly, the output end of the cylinder rod of the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 is equipped with two push heads, one push head corresponds to one magnetic block bin A12, and the push head is made of a material that does not attract the magnetic blocks, such as plastic, rubber, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment 1, usually two magnetic blocks need to be installed on the four sides of the upper panel b. Therefore, in this embodiment, four silo bases A14 are provided. The four silo bases A14 are not all shown in the schematic diagram and are distributed in a rectangular shape. One silo base A14 is configured with a No. 2 support A11 and a magnetic clamping cylinder A13. The four magnetic clamping cylinders A13 work synchronously to complete the loading of magnetic blocks on the four sides of the upper panel b at one time.

[0055] In this embodiment 1, the finished product unloading mechanism 8 includes a swing cylinder 81 and a suction cup manipulator 82; the swing cylinder 81 is installed on the frame 2, the suction cup manipulator 82 is connected to the swing cylinder 81, and the swing cylinder 81 drives the suction cup manipulator 82 to rotate in a horizontal plane.

[0056] This embodiment 1 also provides a belt conveyor type magnetic toy assembly method, which is implemented using the above-mentioned assembly production line, and the steps are as follows:

[0057] Step 1: Top panel loading

[0058] The accompanying tooling 4 runs along the conveyor line 3 to the workstation corresponding to the upper plate feeding mechanism 5. Under the action of the positioning and lifting tooling, the accompanying tooling 4 is separated from the conveyor line 3 and stays at the workstation. The lifting cylinder 43 works to lift the tooling plate 44 upward into place. The two panel clamping cylinders 53 in the upper plate feeding mechanism 5 release the clamping action on the bottom panel of the first base panel, so that the first base panel as a whole drops by one panel height, and the bottom panel falls on the tooling plate 44.

[0059] Step 2: Magnetic block loading

[0060] The accompanying tool 4 carries the upper panel and moves to the workstation corresponding to the magnetic block feeding mechanism 1. Under the action of the positioning and lifting tool, the accompanying tool 4 is separated from the conveyor line 3 and stays at the workstation;

[0061] The method for loading the outward-pushing magnetic blocks is as follows: the lifting cylinder 43 works to lift the tooling plate 44 upward into place, and the upper panel clamping cylinder 42 works, thereby clamping the upper panel b with two clamping plates 421; the cylinder rod of the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 retracts to release the clamping effect on the lowest magnetic block in the first-base magnetic blocks, and the first-base magnetic block a in the magnetic block bin A12 falls to a certain height as a whole until the lowest magnetic block in the first-base magnetic blocks falls to the receiving space of the upper panel b. The guide magnetic block installed on the tooling plate 44 generates suction force on the magnetic block in the receiving groove of the upper panel b; the cylinder rod of the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13 extends to clamp the second magnetic block from the bottom to the top in the first-base magnetic blocks; the outward cylinder 41 works to push the upper panel clamping cylinder 42 and the lifting cylinder 43 to move horizontally so that the magnetic block installed in the receiving groove of the upper panel b is separated from the magnetic block clamped by the magnetic block clamping cylinder A13, and the magnetic block loading is completed;

[0062] Step 3: Prepare the lower panel

[0063] The accompanying tool 4 carries the upper panel assembled with the magnetic block and moves to the workstation corresponding to the lower panel feeding mechanism 6. Under the action of the positioning and lifting tool, the accompanying tool 4 is separated from the conveyor line 3 and stays at the workstation; the lower panel feeding method is the same as the upper panel feeding method in step 1;

[0064] Step 4: The riveting mechanism 7 works to fix the lower panel and the upper panel together to form a magnetic toy;

[0065] Step 5: The finished product unloading mechanism 8 works to remove the finished magnetic toy from the accompanying tooling 4 and transfer it to the belt conveyor 9.

[0066] Example 2.

[0067] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7.

[0068] This embodiment 2 also discloses a belt conveyor type magnetic toy assembly production line, which differs from the embodiment 1 in that the magnetic block feeding mechanism 1 adopted is different. The magnetic block feeding mechanism 1 in this embodiment 2 adopts a cylinder-pull type magnetic block feeding, which includes a No. 2 magnetic block bin B11, a lifting cylinder B12, a push-pull plate B13 and a No. 3 support B14.

[0069] In this embodiment 2, the third support B14 is installed on the frame 2 and spans the conveyor line 3; the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11 is a cylindrical structure with an elongated strip shape and a rectangular cross-section, and is open at the bottom and the top. It is vertically arranged on the No. 3 support B14. A stack of magnetic blocks a are placed in the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11. There is a gap between the bottom of the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11 and the surface of the No. 3 support B14. The push-pull plate B13 is horizontally arranged in the gap. The push-pull plate B13 is provided with a through groove 131 that can accommodate a single magnetic block a. When the through groove 131 is located directly below the bottom of the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11, the lowest magnetic block a in the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11 falls into the through groove 131.

[0070] In the present embodiment 2, the lifting cylinder B12 is vertically arranged beside the second magnetic block bin B11, and the output end of its cylinder rod is hinged to one end of the push-pull rod B15, and the other end of the push-pull rod B15 is hinged to the push-pull plate B13; when the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder B12 moves upward and retracts, the push-pull plate B13 is driven by the push-pull rod B15 to move horizontally out of the bottom of the second magnetic block bin B11, and the magnetic blocks in the through groove 131 are separated and assembled into the receiving groove of the upper panel b located below the lifting cylinder B12. When the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder B12 moves downward and ejects, the push-pull plate B13 is driven by the push-pull rod B15 to re-extend into the bottom of the second magnetic block bin B11, so that the magnetic blocks to be assembled fall into the through groove 131, ready for the next loading.

[0071] Specifically, the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11 is inserted into a No. 2 bin base B16, and the No. 2 bin base B16 is fixedly mounted on the No. 3 support B14, and a gap is left between the bottom of the No. 2 bin base B16 and the surface of the No. 3 support B14; in order to meet the requirement of installing two magnetic blocks on one side of the upper panel b, the No. 2 bin base B16 is designed to be able to insert two No. 2 magnetic block bins B11 side by side, and accordingly, two through grooves 131 are set on the push-pull plate B13, and one through groove 131 corresponds to one No. 2 magnetic block bin B11. A guide rail B17 is installed under the push-pull plate B13, and the guide rail B17 is fixedly mounted on the No. 3 support B14; the guide rail B17 makes the movement of the push-pull plate B13 smoother. The No. 2 magnetic block bin B11 and the push-pull plate B13 are both made of stainless steel or plastic to avoid suction force with the magnetic blocks.

[0072] Usually, two magnetic blocks need to be installed on the four sides of the upper panel b. Therefore, in this embodiment, four No. 2 silo bases B16 are provided. The four No. 2 silo bases B16 are not all shown in the schematic diagram and are distributed in a rectangular shape. Therefore, the cylinder rod output end of the lifting cylinder B12 is hinged to four push-pull rods B15. One push-pull rod B15 acts on a push-pull plate B13. The lifting cylinder B12 can load the magnetic blocks to the four sides of the upper panel b with one action.

[0073] In this embodiment 2, the cylinder-pull type magnetic block loading method is as follows: the lifting cylinder 43 works to lift the tooling plate 44 upward into place, the cylinder rod of the pulling cylinder B12 moves upward and retracts, and the push-pull plate B13 is driven by the push-pull rod B15 to move horizontally out from the bottom of the No. 2 magnetic block bin B11, and then the magnetic blocks in the through groove 131 are separated and assembled into the accommodating groove of the upper panel b located below the lifting cylinder B12.

[0074] In addition, it should be noted that the shapes and names of the parts and components of the specific embodiments described in this specification may be different, and the above content described in this specification is only an example of the structure of the present invention.
