[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the magnet loading device includes a feeding assembly 1 and a picking assembly 2, wherein the feeding assembly 1 includes a first bracket 11, a driving member 12 and a movable block 13, the first bracket 11 is provided with a feeding channel 11a and a discharging channel 11b connected to each other, and a discharging hole 11c connected to the discharging channel 11b, the feeding channel 11a is located above the discharging channel 11b and is used to store magnets; the driving member 12 is provided on the first bracket 11 and connected to the movable block 13; the movable block 13 is provided with a feeding hole 13a for accommodating magnets, and the driving member 12 drives the movable block 13 to move along the discharging channel 11b so that the feeding hole 13a is connected to the feeding channel 11a or the discharging hole 11c. Part of the structure of the picking assembly 2 passes through the discharging hole 11c to absorb and transfer the magnet in the feeding hole 13a.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material supply component 1 is used to supply material, namely, magnets, to the material taking component 2, and the magnet supply method includes but is not limited to providing one magnet to the material taking component 2 each time.

[0034] The first bracket 11 of the feeding assembly 1 is used to install the above-mentioned driving member 12 and the movable block 13. The first bracket 11 is provided with a feeding channel 11a and a discharging channel 11b. The feeding channel 11a and the discharging channel 11b can be a slot structure or a cavity structure extending in a straight line. The extension direction of the feeding channel 11a and the extension direction of the discharging channel 11b are at an angle of non-0 degrees and non-180 degrees. The feeding channel 11a and the discharging channel 11b intersect and communicate with each other. Multiple magnets can be stored in the feeding channel 11a at the same time. The magnets are magnetically attracted to each other and are stacked in the feeding channel 11a. The feeding channel 11a can be extended vertically or at an acute angle to the direction of gravity; the discharging channel 11b can be extended horizontally or at an acute angle to the horizontal direction; so that the magnets in the feeding channel 11a can slide down along the feeding channel 11a under the action of gravity and pass through the connection between the feeding channel 11a and the discharging channel 11b. The first bracket 11 is further provided with a discharge hole 11c communicating with the discharge channel 11b and the outside, and the discharge hole 11c is used for allowing a part of the structure of the material taking component 2 to pass through and take out materials.

[0035] The driving member 12 of the feeding assembly 1 is used to drive the movable block 13 to move in the discharge channel 11b, and the driving member 12 can be fixed to the first bracket 11 by screwing, welding, etc. The driving member 12 includes but is not limited to a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and the output end of the driving member 12, i.e., a piston rod or a push rod, is connected to the movable block 13 to drive the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b.

[0036] The movable block 13 of the feeding assembly 1 is used to transfer magnets. A plurality of feeding holes 13a may be provided on the side of the movable block 13 facing the feeding channel 11a, and each feeding hole 13a may accommodate and limit a magnet. When there are multiple feeding holes 13a, the multiple feeding holes 13a may be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the discharge channel 11b. When the driving member 12 drives the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b, each feeding hole 13a can move between the connection point between the feeding channel 11a and the discharge channel 11b and the discharge hole 11c, so that each feeding hole 13a can be connected to the feeding channel 11a or the discharge hole 11c, thereby transferring the magnet entering the discharge hole 11c from the feeding channel 11a to the discharge hole 11c. The movable block 13 and the driving member 12 can be connected directly or through a connecting block or other adapter. The shape of the movable block 13 is not limited, and it is preferred that the driving member 12 can drive the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b.

[0037] In actual application, an exemplary working process of the feeding assembly 1 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] Process 1: Figure 2As shown, the driving member 12 drives the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b, so that a feeding hole 13a on the movable block 13 is aligned with the feeding channel 11a. At this time, the feeding hole 13a is connected with the feeding channel 11a, and the magnet in the feeding channel 11a moves down along the feeding channel 11a under the action of its own weight, and the lowest magnet immediately enters the feeding hole 13a;

[0039] Process 2: Figure 3 As shown, the driving member 12 drives the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b again, so that the feeding hole 13a in process 1 is aligned with the discharge hole 11c. At this time, the feeding hole 13a is connected with the discharge hole 11c, and the material taking component 2 immediately moves to the discharge hole 11c to absorb the magnet and transfer;

[0040] Process 3: Repeat the above process 1 and process 2 to realize the continuous supply of magnets from the feeding component 1 to the picking component 2 and the loading of the magnet loading device.

[0041] The above-mentioned material picking component 2 is used to absorb the magnet in the feeding hole 13a of the movable block 13 to transfer the magnet into the above-mentioned product, realize the magnet loading and the assembly of the magnet into the product. The way in which the material picking component 2 absorbs the magnet includes but is not limited to magnetic suction or suction cup suction. The part of the structure of the material picking component 2 that can extend into the discharge hole 11c can be a suction head such as an electromagnet or a suction cup. The suction head can move between the product and the discharge hole 11c under the control of the three-dimensional moving module to realize the transfer of the magnet into the product.

[0042] In this embodiment, the driving member 12 drives the movable block 13 to move, so that the movable block 13 continuously transfers the magnet in the feeding channel 11a to the discharge hole 11c, and then the magnet is transferred to the product through the discharge hole 11c by the material taking component 2, thereby realizing the magnet feeding process. The feeding component 1 for magnet separation feeding in the magnet feeding device only includes the first bracket 11, the driving member 12 and the movable block 13, and the structure is very simple, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the magnet feeding device.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first bracket 11 in the above embodiment includes a base 111, a feeding rack 112 and a second limit block 114, wherein the driving member 12 and the second limit block 114 are arranged on the base 111, the feeding rack 112 is arranged on the base 111, and the feeding rack 112 is provided with a first limit block 113 and a feeding channel 11a; the first limit block 113, the second limit block 114 and the base 111 are enclosed to form a discharge channel 11b, and the second limit block 114 is provided with a discharge hole 11c.

[0044] In the embodiment, the base 111 is used to install and fix the feeding rack 112 and the driving member 12 .

[0045] The feeding rack 112 is used to supply magnets, and the feeding rack 112 can be fixed to the base 111 by screwing, welding, etc. The feeding channel 11a on the feeding rack 112 can be arranged along the height direction of the feeding rack 112, so that the magnets stored in the feeding channel 11a can slide down along the feeding channel 11a to the discharging channel 11b to realize the magnet supply.

[0046] The first limit block 113 and the second limit block 114 are used to limit the movable block 13. The first limit block 113 is protruding from the feeding rack 112, and the second limit block 114 can be arranged adjacent to the first limit block 113. A first spacing space is formed between the first limit block 113 and the base 111, and a second spacing space is formed between the second limit block 114 and the base 111. The first spacing space and the second spacing space are connected to form the above-mentioned discharge channel 11b. The arrangement of the first limit block 113 and the second limit block 114 limits the movable block 13 between the base 111 and the first limit block 113 and the base 111 and the second limit block 114, constrains and guides the movement of the movable block 13, which is conducive to improving the stability of the movement of the movable block 13 and improving the reliability of the magnet supply.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding channel 11a in the above embodiment has a through opening 11a1 connected to the outside, and the through opening 11a1 extends toward the discharge channel 11b; the first limit block 113 covers at least part of the through opening 11a1 to stop and limit the magnet in the feeding channel 11a.

[0048] In this embodiment, the through port 11a1 is used to observe the stock of magnets. The through port 11a1 is connected to the outside and the feeding channel 11a, and can be connected to the discharge channel 11b. In this way, when the number of magnets in the feeding channel 11a is large, the feeding of magnets into the feeding channel 11a can be stopped in time to prevent overflow; when the number of magnets in the feeding channel 11a is small, magnets can be fed into the feeding channel 11a in time to ensure continuous supply and loading of magnets.

[0049] The first limit block 113 is used to stop and limit the magnet in the feeding channel 11a to prevent the magnet in the feeding channel 11a from sliding out through the opening 11a1. The first limit block 113 can be set to block part of the opening 11a1 so that the amount of magnet in the feeding channel 11a can be observed through the opening area of ​​the through hole 26a not covered by the first limit block 113. When the first limit block 113 completely covers the opening area of ​​the opening 11a1, the first limit block 113 can be integrally processed into a plate-like or block-like structure, and can be connected to the periphery of the opening 11a1 by screwing, welding, etc., so that the processing and installation procedures of the first limit block 113 can be reduced, and at the same time, the magnet in the feeding channel 11a can be more reliably prevented from sliding out through the opening 11a1.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 111 in the above embodiment includes a pillar 1111, a mounting plate 1112 and a slider 1113, wherein the mounting plate 1112 is arranged on the pillar 1111, and the feed rack 112, the second limit block 114 and the driving member 12 are arranged on the mounting plate 1112; the slider 1113 is movably arranged on the side of the driving member 12 facing away from the mounting plate 1112, and is connected to the output end of the driving member 12 and the movable block 13; the driving member 12 drives the slider 1113 to drive the movable block 13 to move along the discharge channel 11b.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pillar 1111 is used to support the mounting plate 1112 , and the pillar 1111 may be a square or round columnar structure.

[0052] The mounting plate 1112 is used to mount the feeding rack 112, the first limiting block 113, the second limiting block 114 and the driving member 12, wherein the feeding rack 112 and the second limiting block 114 can be arranged on the side of the mounting plate 1112 facing away from the pillar 1111, and the driving member 12 can be arranged on the side of the mounting plate 1112 facing the pillar 1111, so that the space on both sides of the mounting plate 1112 can be fully utilized to realize the feeding rack 112. The arrangement of the first limiting block 113 and the driving member 12 is conducive to reducing the volume of the feeding assembly 1.

[0053] The slider 1113 is used to realize the connection between the driving member 12 and the movable block 13, and can also guide the movement of the movable block 13. The slider 1113 can be movably connected with the driving member 12 by means of rail groove matching, etc. The slider 1113 is movably connected with the driving member 12, so that the driving member 12 can drive the slider 1113 to move in a directional manner, thereby driving the movable block 13 to move in a directional manner through the slider 1113, providing guidance for the movement of the movable block 13, which is conducive to improving the stability of the movement of the movable block 13 and improving the reliability of the magnet supply.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the material picking component 2 in the above embodiment includes a second bracket 21, a displacement module 22 and a suction head 23, wherein the displacement module 22 is arranged on the second bracket 21, and the suction head 23 is arranged at the output end of the displacement module 22, and the displacement module 22 drives the suction head 23 to move close to or away from the discharge hole 11c to absorb and transfer the magnet in the feed hole 13a.

[0055] In this embodiment, the second bracket 21 is used to install and fix the displacement module 22 and the suction head 23 .

[0056] The displacement module 22 is used to drive the suction head 23 to move. The displacement module 22 includes but is not limited to a two-dimensional or three-dimensional moving module, so that the suction head 23 can be driven to move in the vertical and horizontal directions through the displacement module 22, so that the suction head 23 can move close to the discharge hole 11c, thereby sucking the magnet in the feed hole 13a through the suction head 23; and the suction head 23 can also move away from the discharge hole 11c, thereby transferring the sucked magnet into the product to realize magnet loading.

[0057] The suction head 23 is used to absorb the magnet. The suction head 23 can be a magnet, an electromagnet, or a suction cup. Driven by the displacement module 22, the suction head 23 moves close to the discharge hole 11c and absorbs the magnet in the feed hole 13a, and moves close to the product under the drive of the displacement module 22 to transfer the absorbed magnet into the product, thereby realizing automatic loading of the magnet and improving the loading efficiency of the magnet.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the material taking assembly 2 further includes a connecting plate 24, a first lifting module 25 and a spacer 26, wherein the connecting plate 24 is arranged at the output end of the displacement module 22, the first lifting module 25 is arranged at the connecting plate 24, and the suction head 23 is arranged at the output end of the first lifting module 25; the spacer 26 is arranged at the connecting plate 24 and is located below the suction head 23; a sleeve portion 261 having an inner cavity is formed on the side of the spacer 26 facing away from the suction head 23, and a through hole 26a communicating with the inner cavity of the sleeve portion 261 is arranged on the side of the spacer 26 facing the suction head 23. The displacement module 22 drives the connecting plate 24 to drive the sleeve portion 261 to extend into the material discharging hole 11c, and the first lifting module 25 drives the suction head 23 to extend into the through hole 26a and the inner cavity of the sleeve portion 261, so that the suction head 23 absorbs the magnet through the sleeve portion 261.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 24 is used to install the first lifting module 25 and the spacer 26. The first lifting membrane group and the spacer 26 can be connected to the connecting plate 24 by screwing, welding, etc. The first lifting module 25 and the spacer 26 can be arranged at intervals on the connecting plate 24.

[0060] The first lifting module 25 is used to drive the suction head 23 to move up and down, so that the suction head 23 moves closer to or away from the sleeve portion 261. The first lifting module 25 can be a driving device such as a lifting cylinder or an electric cylinder, and the output end of the first lifting module 25 can be a push rod of the cylinder or the electric cylinder.

[0061] The spacer 26 is used to isolate the magnet and the suction head 23. The suction head 23 of this embodiment does not directly contact the magnet, but indirectly absorbs the magnet through the sleeve portion 261 of the spacer 26. When the suction head 23 absorbs the magnet, the suction head 23 passes through the through hole 26a and is located in the inner cavity of the sleeve portion 261. The sleeve portion 261 is located between the suction head 23 and the magnet. The magnet is attracted by the suction head 23 and abuts against the side of the sleeve portion 261 facing away from the suction head 23. In this way, when the first lifting module 25 drives the suction head 23 to separate from the sleeve portion 261, the suction head 23 loses sufficient magnetic attraction to the magnet originally absorbed under the sleeve portion 261, and the magnet is separated from the sleeve portion 261.
