[0055] The working process of a highly efficient steel ring magnetic tile dispensing and assembling machine 100 in this embodiment is as follows: The steel ring is input from the steel ring feeding conveyor 1. After being positioned by the guide plate 11, it is clamped by the pneumatic clamp 36 in the handling and dispensing module 3 and placed on the rotating support platform 2. Then it is driven to rotate by the first motor 21, and dispensing is performed through the dispensing valve group in the handling and dispensing module 3. After dispensing is completed, it is clamped by the steel ring clamping unit 73. At the same time, the snap ring clamping unit 74 takes out a snap ring from the snap ring feeding unit 4 and then moves to the assembly station synchronously with the sixth movable plate 72 in sequence; the steel ring assembly guide hole 541 on the assembly guide plate 54 first moves above the central guide post 51. At this time, the support bottom sleeve 53 jacks up the four magnetic tiles upward, and a circular space is formed between the through holes on the upper limit plate 55. The steel ring clamping unit 73 places the steel ring into the circular space from the steel ring assembly guide hole 541 and slews it on the circular sleeve formed by the four magnetic tiles. At this time, the magnetic tiles protrude above the upper end surface of the central guide post 51; then the snap ring assembly guide hole 542 on the assembly guide plate 54 moves above the central guide post 51, and the snap ring assembly guide sleeve 543 presses on the upper end surfaces of the steel ring and the magnetic tiles. The snap ring clamping unit 74 clamps the snap ring and installs it from the snap ring assembly guide sleeve 543. By pressing the snap ring downward, the snap ring is gradually reduced so that its outer circumference abuts against and supports the magnetic tiles outward, and the magnetic tiles are fixed in cooperation with the colloid on the inner wall surface of the steel ring; then the assembly guide plate 54 moves horizontally to move the steel ring assembly guide hole 541 above the central guide post 51, and then it is taken out by the product blanking clamping unit 75 and placed on the product output line 6 for output; the steel ring clamping unit 73, the snap ring clamping unit 74, and the product blanking clamping unit 75 on the material handling unit 7 clamp the materials and transfer them at the same time, realizing the material handling of one up and one down, saving the material handling time.

[0056] A highly efficient steel ring magnetic tile dispensing and assembling machine 100 in this embodiment, through the ingenious setting of the positions of the steel ring conveyor, the steel ring dispensing station, the snap ring feeding unit, the magnetic tile feeding unit, the assembly station, and the blanking conveyor, and in cooperation with the assembly handling mechanism, realizes the assembly of the motor magnetic tile and the steel ring. Its overall structure is compact and the assembly efficiency is greatly improved; the handling, transfer, and dispensing of the steel ring are integrated on one handling module, and in cooperation with the rotating platform, the dispensing of the steel ring is realized, reducing intermediate actions and improving the assembly efficiency; a magnetic central guide post is provided at the assembly position, and a magnetic tile feeding magazine is arranged around the central guide post. The magnetic tiles are automatically conveyed and attached to the outer circumference of the central guide post. Then, in cooperation with the lifting device, the magnetic tiles are lifted out, and the steel ring is slewed on the outer circumference of the magnetic tiles to realize the assembly action. The snap ring is clamped in the inner ring of the magnetic tiles by the snap ring assembly guide sleeve and expanded to realize the assembly of the steel ring and the magnetic tile. Its assembly efficiency is high and the assembly effect is good.

[0057] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
