Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, the traditional Rubik's Cube is a 6-sided cube made of elastic hard plastic. The core is an axis and consists of 26 blocks. The 26 blocks include 6 inner center blocks, which are fixed and have only one side with color. There are 8 corner blocks that can rotate. The 12 edge blocks can also rotate. When the toy is sold, the blocks are arranged so that each side of the cube has the same color. When one side of the large cube rotates horizontally, the single color of its adjacent sides is destroyed, and the cube that forms a new pattern will rotate and change again, forming each side with blocks of different colors. The way to play is to restore the scrambled cube to a single color on all six sides as quickly as possible by rotating it.

[0003] Among them, the center block, corner block, and edge block of the Rubik's Cube must be installed on the center axis of the Rubik's Cube. The structure of the center axis of the Rubik's Cube is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube needs to be fixed in the magnet installation position 11 to install the magnet. The installation of the magnet and whether it is effectively installed directly affect whether the Rubik's Cube can be used.

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the integrated device for installing and detecting magnets for the central axis of the Rubik's Cube of the present invention comprises a frame 2, which is provided with a vibration plate 3, a linear conveying mechanism 5, a mounting mechanism 6 and a detection mechanism 7 in sequence; the frame 2 is also provided with a lifting machine 4 cooperating with the vibration plate 3; the frame 2 is also provided with a grasping manipulator 8, and the moving range of the grasping manipulator 8 covers the linear conveying mechanism 5, the mounting mechanism 6 and the detection mechanism 7.

[0023] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the mounting mechanism 6 includes two first positioning shafts 61, a plurality of magnet feeding mechanisms 62, a plurality of glue dispensing mechanisms 63, a plurality of pressure rods 64 and a pushing mechanism connected to the pressure rods (a cylinder in this embodiment, and other power mechanisms, such as an oil cylinder, a motor, etc., may also be used); the two first positioning shafts 61 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting mechanism 6 and are arranged opposite to each other; the end of the magnet feeding mechanism 62 is aligned with the magnet mounting position 11 of the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected; the glue dispensing mechanism 63 includes a glue accommodating chamber (not numbered in the figure) and a glue outlet hole 631 connected to the glue accommodating chamber, and the glue outlet hole 631 is aligned with the magnet mounting position 11 of the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected; the pressure rod 64 is aligned with the magnet mounting position 11 of the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected.

[0024] Specifically, Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the detection mechanism 7 includes two second positioning shafts 71, which are arranged opposite to each other and are driven by a first power mechanism 711 (a cylinder in this embodiment, and other power mechanisms such as a cylinder, a motor, etc. can also be used); the detection mechanism 7 is also provided with a magnetic tension detection rod 72, and a magnet (not numbered in the figure) is fixedly installed on the end of the magnetic tension detection rod 72 and is used to align with the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected, and the magnetic tension detection rod 72 is driven by a second power mechanism 721 (a cylinder in this embodiment, and other power mechanisms such as a cylinder, a motor, etc. can also be used).

[0025] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 7 further includes a servo motor 73 , and the second positioning shaft 71 is connected to the servo motor 73 and rotates under the drive of the servo motor 73 .

[0026] In this embodiment, there are two magnetic tension detection rods 72, which can detect the installation conditions of magnets at two positions at the same time. Depending on the actual situation, only one or four may be provided.

[0027] On the other hand, the present embodiment further comprises an optical detection sensor 74 and a processor (not shown in the figure), wherein the optical detection sensor 74 is used to align with the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected and is electrically connected to the processor. In the present embodiment, the number of the optical detection sensors 74 is two, which can simultaneously detect the installation conditions of the magnets at two positions. Depending on the actual situation, only one or four optical detection sensors may be provided.

[0028] In this embodiment, the optical detection sensor 74 and the magnetic tension detection rod 72 are respectively located above and below the second positioning shaft 71. Such a structure can perform optical detection and magnetic tension detection at the same time, thereby improving efficiency.

[0029] Working process: The central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested is placed in the vibration plate 3. Under the action of the vibration plate 3 and the elevator 4, the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested is sent to the linear conveying mechanism 5 in sequence and in an orderly manner. The grabbing manipulator 8 takes out the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested from the linear conveying mechanism 5 and places it between the first positioning axes 61 of the installation mechanism 6. The first positioning axes 61 are driven by the cylinder to move closer and clamp the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested. The glue dispensing mechanism 63 applies glue to the magnet installation position 11, and the end of the magnet feeding mechanism 62 places the magnet in the magnet installation position 11. The pressure rod 64 is pressed toward the magnet installation position 11 by the driving force, and the magnet is pressed firmly into the magnet installation position 11.

[0030] The grabbing manipulator 8 takes out the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested after the magnet is installed; after the two second positioning axes 71 of the detection mechanism 7 are separated under the push of the cylinder, the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested is placed between the two second positioning axes 71, and the cylinder pushes the second positioning axes 71 again so that the two second positioning axes 71 clamp the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be tested. The ends of the magnetic tension detection rod 72 are respectively aligned with the two upper magnet installation positions 11. Under the push of the cylinder, the magnetic tension detection rod 72 is close to the magnet installation position 11. Since the magnetic tension detection rod 72 is installed with a strong magnet, if the magnet installed in the magnet installation position 11 is not strong enough, it will be separated from the magnet installation position 11 under the action of the magnetic tension. The optical detection sensor 74 is respectively aligned with two of the magnet installation positions (the two lower installation positions in this embodiment) of the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected, reads the optical information of the magnet installation position 11, detects whether the magnet has been installed, and transmits the signal to the processor; if the magnet is not installed, or is not installed firmly and is sucked out by the magnetic tension detection rod 72, the optical detection sensor 74 will read that the position is not installed. After one detection is completed, the servo motor 73 drives the second positioning shaft 71 to rotate, so that the central axis 1 of the Rubik's Cube to be detected rotates a certain angle (in this embodiment, because two magnet installation positions have been detected in one time, the rotation angle is 90°, and according to actual conditions, it can be 180° or other angles), and repeats the above detection steps, so that each magnet installation position 11 undergoes optical detection and magnetic tension detection, thereby detecting unqualified magnet installation positions.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Various changes or modifications to the present invention during implementation do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of the present invention. The present invention is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
