Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of linear motor assembly, in particular to a feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of assembling linear motors, magnets are one of the important parts. Since magnets have strong magnetic force and are not easy to separate, the traditional loading process is mostly done manually. However, on the one hand, breaking the magnets apart requires overcoming the strong magnetic force, resulting in low efficiency of manual loading. On the other hand, breaking the magnets apart manually is also very dangerous and easy to get pinched.

[0003] For the above reasons, when magnets are delivered, spacers are used to separate the two adjacent magnets and stack them into piles. This can reduce labor and injuries, but the efficiency is still low, and magnets and spacers are easily confused, resulting in feeding errors, which is not conducive to production. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned defects, the present invention proposes a feeding device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is that the feeding device comprises:

[0006] A material storage unit, comprising at least one material storage trough, wherein the material storage trough has at least one material inlet and at least one material outlet;

[0007] A pushing unit, comprising a driving mechanism, a first pushing mechanism and a second pushing mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism drives the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism to reciprocate along a fixed path, and the discharge port is located on the movement path of the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism;

[0008] The first material pushing mechanism pushes the first material in the material storage unit to the first workstation along the first direction, and the second material pushing mechanism pushes the second material in the material storage unit to the second workstation along the second direction.

[0009] Preferably, the first pushing mechanism comprises a first pushing plate, and the thickness of the first pushing plate is equal to or less than the thickness of the first material when placed in the discharge port;

[0010] The second pushing mechanism includes a second pushing plate, and the thickness of the second pushing plate is less than or equal to the thickness of the second material when placed in the discharge port.

[0011] Preferably, both sides of the discharge port are respectively connected to the first workstation and the second workstation, the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism are fixedly connected, the driving mechanism drives the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism to move synchronously, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions.

[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member drives the first pushing mechanism to reciprocate along a first direction, and the second driving member drives the second pushing mechanism to reciprocate along a second direction.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom surfaces of the first push plate and the second push plate are flush, and a step is formed between the top surfaces of the first push plate and the second push plate, and the step is a force application surface for the first push plate or the second push plate to push the first material or the second material.

[0014] Preferably, the step faces the second push plate, and when the second push plate pushes the second material, the second material is supported on the second push plate, and the step contacts the second material;

[0015] The second pushing mechanism also includes a dropping mechanism for allowing the second material supported on the second pushing plate to enter the second workstation.

[0016] Preferably, the material dropping mechanism comprises a blocking block arranged on the side of the material discharge port facing the second direction and located above the step, and the blocking block is constrained to be able to rotate and reset only in the second direction;

[0017] The height of the step is less than the thickness of the second material supported on the second push plate, and the minimum distance between the bottom end of the blocking block and the upper surface of the step is less than the height of the second material protruding from the upper surface of the step;

[0018] When the blocking block rotates in the second direction, the distance between the bottom end of the blocking block and the upper surface of the step gradually increases until it is greater than or equal to the height of the second material protruding from the upper surface of the step.

[0019] Preferably, the material storage unit includes a material storage plate and a driving motor, the material storage plate is provided with a plurality of the material storage slots, and the driving motor drives the material storage plate to move along a third direction to switch different material storage slots to positions corresponding to the first pushing mechanism.

[0020] Preferably, the height of the discharge port is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first material and the second material in the discharge port, and at least one through avoidance groove is formed inwardly on the circumferential side wall of the discharge port.

[0021] Preferably, an anti-idiot groove is provided just below the discharge port, and an anti-idiot magnetic block is provided in the anti-idiot groove.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. Through the cooperation between the pushing unit and the storage unit, the automatic feeding process is realized, which replaces the traditional manual feeding, improves efficiency and safety. In addition, through the division of labor and cooperation between the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism, the probability of confusion of different materials is also reduced, which is conducive to improving the overall production quality and efficiency.

[0024] 2. Since the second push plate and the first push plate are fixedly connected, and the two move synchronously under the action of the driving mechanism, that is, only one driving source and one movement stroke are needed, that is, two pushing actions can be completed at the same time. When the first push plate moves forward, it pushes the first material to the first station to complete the feeding. When the first push plate moves backward, the second push plate pushes the second material to the second station, thereby ensuring that each feeding of the first push plate is the first material pushed, and the diversion of the second material is also completed synchronously and automatically. The entire mechanism has a high degree of integration, a simple structure, a simple movement process, and is easy to control.

[0025] 3. The height of the discharge port is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first and second materials in the discharge port, and at least one through avoidance groove is formed on the circumferential side wall of the discharge port. With such a configuration, the first and second materials can both smoothly escape from the discharge port, and because of the avoidance groove, there is a larger space between the first and second materials and the discharge port, which can also prevent the first and second materials from getting stuck due to excessive friction with the discharge port.

[0026] 4. Since the magnets of the linear motor have different magnetic poles when they are actually fed, the magnetic pole directions of the magnets in the material storage tank have corresponding requirements. After the anti-mistake magnetic block is set, if the magnetic poles of the magnets entering the material storage tank are incorrect, they cannot be installed in place due to the repulsion, thus achieving an anti-mistake effect.

[0037] The present invention provides a feeding device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes:

[0038] Stock unit 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, it comprises at least one storage tank 3, wherein the storage tank 3 has at least one inlet 31 and at least one outlet 32;

[0039] A pushing unit 2, comprising a driving mechanism, a first pushing mechanism and a second pushing mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism drives the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism to reciprocate along a fixed path, and the discharge port 32 is located on the movement path of the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism;

[0040] The first pushing mechanism pushes the first material 5 in the storage unit 1 to the first workstation 7 along the first direction, and the second pushing mechanism pushes the second material 6 in the storage unit 1 to the second workstation 8 along the second direction.

[0041] It should be noted that the aforementioned first material 5 and second material 6 can be the same material, that is, the same material can be transported to different workstations; the first material 5 and the second material 6 can also be two different materials, that is, the two different materials can be diverted by the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism and pushed to different workstations respectively.

[0042] The following embodiments are all based on the production and assembly of linear motors as specific application scenarios, wherein the first material 5 is a magnet, and the second material 6 is a separator that separates two adjacent magnets.

[0043] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the material storage unit 1 includes a material storage plate 101 and a driving motor 13. Figure 5-6 As shown, the storage plate 101 is provided with a plurality of vertical storage troughs 3, and the first material 5 and the second material 6 are stacked in sequence to form a vertical row and enter the storage trough 3 through the upper inlet 31, and the bottom of the storage trough 3 is the discharge port 32, and the two sides of the discharge port 32 are opened and respectively connected with the first station 7 and the second station 8, that is, the material at the bottom of the first material 5 and the second material 6 stacked in a row is in the discharge port 32 and supported on the bottom side wall of the discharge port 32.

[0044] The driving motor 13 drives the material storage plate 101 to move along the third direction to switch different material storage slots 3 to the position corresponding to the first material pushing mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third direction is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the arrangement direction of the plurality of material storage slots 3. The first material pushing mechanism includes a first push plate 9, the thickness of which is equal to or less than the thickness of the first material 5 when placed in the material outlet 32; the second material pushing mechanism includes a second push plate 10, the thickness of which is less than or equal to the thickness of the second material 6 when placed in the material outlet 32. Thus, the first push plate 9 can push the first material 5 out of the material outlet 32, and the second push plate 10 can push the second material 6 out of the material outlet 32.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and 7 As shown, the two sides of the discharge port are respectively connected to the first station and the second station, the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism are fixedly connected, the driving mechanism drives the first pushing mechanism and the second pushing mechanism to move synchronously, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions, that is, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are fixedly connected, and move reciprocatingly and synchronously along a fixed path driven by the driving mechanism.

[0046] Specifically, the driving mechanism is a driving cylinder 12, whose telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10. In a forward stroke of the driving cylinder 12 in the first direction, the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 at the discharge port 32 to the first station 7, and at this time, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 both pass through the discharge port 32 and are located on one side of the discharge port 32; then in a return stroke of the driving cylinder 12 in the second direction, the second push plate 10 pushes the second material 6 at the discharge port 32 to the second station 8, and at this time, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 also pass through the discharge port 32 and return to the other side of the discharge port 32. The forward stroke and return stroke of the driving cylinder 12 do not specifically correspond to the extension or retraction action of the cylinder, but should be understood as any pair of reciprocating motions of the driving cylinder 12, that is, the forward stroke can be the extension action of the driving cylinder 12, or it can be the retraction action.

[0047] Since in this embodiment, both the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 need to pass through the discharge port 32 to reciprocate, and the telescopic rod extension direction of the driving cylinder 12 is consistent with the movement direction of the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10, the connection between the driving cylinder 12 and the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10 cannot interfere with the material storage plate 101. In one embodiment, the first push plate 9 and the telescopic rod are fixedly connected by a vertical connecting rod, and the material storage plate 101 has a matching opening groove just below the discharge port 32 for the connecting rod to pass through the material storage plate 101; in another embodiment, the second push plate 10 and the end of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected by a folding rod, the horizontal section of the folding rod is fixed to the end of the second push plate 10, and the vertical section of the folding rod is fixed to the telescopic rod, and the length of the horizontal section of the folding rod is greater than or equal to the telescopic stroke of the telescopic rod.

[0048] In one embodiment, one of the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10 may not pass through the discharge port 32. In this embodiment, Figure 1-4 As shown, the bottom surfaces of the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are flush, and a step 11 is formed between the top surfaces of the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10, and the height of the step 11 is less than the thickness of the second material 6 supported on the second push plate 10, that is, the step 11 is the force application surface of the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10 to push the first material 5 or the second material 6.

[0049] Since the step 11 faces the thinner side of the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10, in this embodiment, the second push plate 10 with a thinner thickness is used as an example for explanation. In actual production, the thickness of the two push plates is determined by the thickness of the two materials. In this embodiment, in a forward stroke of the driving cylinder 12 toward the first direction, the end of the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 at the discharge port 32 to the first station 7. At this time, the first push plate 9 and the step 11 both pass through the discharge port 32 and are located on one side of the discharge port 32, while the end of the second push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 12 and does not pass through the discharge port 32. At this time, the second material 6 falls on the second push plate 10; then in the return stroke of the driving cylinder 12 toward the second direction, the step 11 pushes the second material 6 at the discharge port 32 to the second station 8. At this time, the first push plate 9 and the step 11 also pass through the discharge port 32 and return to the other side of the discharge port 32.

[0050] Due to the setting of the step 11, the second material 6 can be pushed without the second push plate 10 passing through the discharge port 32, so that the connection between the second push plate 10 and the driving cylinder 12 is freer, and there is no need to consider the interference between the driving cylinder 12 and the material storage plate 101.

[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the step 11 faces the second push plate 10. When the second push plate 10 pushes the second material 6, the second material 6 is supported on the second push plate 10, and the step 11 contacts the second material 6. The second pushing mechanism also includes a blanking mechanism for allowing the second material 6 supported on the second push plate 10 to enter the second station 8. By setting the blanking mechanism, it is ensured that the second material 6 smoothly enters the second station 8 from the second push plate 10. Figure 1-4 As shown, the second work station 8 refers to a material collection box 15 placed directly below the second push plate 10 . After the second material 6 falls from the second push plate 10 , it can enter the material collection box 15 .

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment, the blanking mechanism is a blanking cylinder, and a blanking plate is fixed at the end of the telescopic rod of the blanking cylinder. When the blanking plate moves to the maximum stroke, the blanking plate pushes the second material 6 placed on the second push plate 10 to the second station 8. That is, after the step 11 pushes the second material 6 out of the discharge port 32, the second material 6 stays on the second push plate 10. At this time, under the push and cooperation of the blanking plate, the second material 6 is pushed to the second station 8, and then the blanking plate retracts, and the second push plate 10 can continue the next cycle operation.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second push plate 10 is rotatably connected to the first push plate 9, and the blanking mechanism is a blanking cylinder fixed on the telescopic rod of the first push plate 9 or the driving cylinder 12, and the end of the telescopic rod of the blanking cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the second push plate 10. When the telescopic rod of the blanking cylinder is extended to the maximum stroke, the second push plate 10 rotates upward to be flush with the first push plate 9. When the telescopic rod of the blanking cylinder is shortened to the minimum stroke, the second push plate 10 rotates downward. At this time, the second material 6 placed on the second push plate 10 falls downward into the second workstation 8.

[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 1-4 As shown, the material dropping mechanism includes a blocking block 14 arranged on the side of the discharge port 32 facing the second direction and located above the step 11, and the blocking block 14 is constrained to be able to rotate and reset only in the second direction; the minimum distance between the bottom end of the blocking block 14 and the upper surface of the step 11 is less than the height of the second material 6 protruding from the upper surface of the step 11; when the blocking block 14 rotates in the second direction, the distance between the bottom end of the blocking block 14 and the upper surface of the step 11 gradually increases until it is greater than or equal to the height of the second material 6 protruding from the upper surface of the step 11.

[0055] Since the blocking block 14 can only rotate in the second direction, and the distance between the blocking block 14 and the upper surface of the step 11 is less than the height of the second material 6 protruding from the step 11, during a forward stroke of the driving cylinder 12 in the first direction, the end of the first push plate 9 can pass through the discharge port 32 without contacting the blocking block 14, and at the same time, the first material 5 at the discharge port 32 is pushed out to the first station 7. At this time, the first push plate 9 and the step 11 both pass through the discharge port 32 and are located on one side of the discharge port 32, while the end of the second push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 12 and does not pass through the discharge port 32, and at this time the second material 6 falls on the second push plate 10; then, in the return stroke of the driving cylinder 12 in the second direction, the step 11 pushes the second material 6 at the discharge port 32 to the second station 8, at which time the blocking block 14 rotates, and the first push plate 9 and the step 11 also both pass through the discharge port 32 and return to the other side of the discharge port 32, and the second material 6 is placed on the second push plate 10.

[0056] Subsequently, in the next reciprocating cycle of the driving cylinder 12, the driving cylinder 12 moves in the first direction, and the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 and passes through the discharge port 32. However, at this time, the second material 6 on the second push plate 10 will be blocked by the blocking block 14. As the second push plate 10 continues to move forward, the supporting surface of the second material 6 on the second push plate 10 becomes smaller and smaller until the second material 6 falls to the second workstation 8 below. At this time, the first push plate 9, the step 11 and part of the second push plate 10 all pass through the discharge port 32, and the next second material 6 has been placed on the second push plate 10, thus forming a cycle.

[0057] Due to the setting of the blocking block 14, the second material 6 placed on the second push plate 10 can be scraped off to the second workstation 8, that is, the collecting box 15 below, in time, eliminating the active process, and is also conducive to reducing the control and coordination process, and the overall structure is more sophisticated.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the upper and lower side surfaces of the end of the first push plate 9 are designed as arc surfaces, that is, the end surface thickness of the first push plate 9 is the smallest, and the thickness increases closer to the step 11. By designing the upper and lower side surfaces of the first push plate 9 with an arc-shaped gradual change area, when the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 and passes through the blocking block 14, it is easy to pass through because the end thickness of the first push plate 9 is the smallest, and then the first push plate 9 gradually becomes thicker, thereby driving the blocking block 14 to rotate. The whole process is relatively gentle, which is conducive to maintaining smooth and stable movement.

[0059] In one embodiment, the blocking blocks 14 are arranged in pairs, and a plurality of discharge ports 32 are formed on the material storage plate 101, and a pair of blocking blocks 14 are installed at each discharge port 32. Specifically, a plurality of material storage slots 3 are formed on the material storage plate 101, and a plurality of spaced baffles 102 are detachably connected to the material storage plate 101, the baffles 102 are fixed to the side walls of the material storage slots 3, and the spacing between two adjacent baffles 102 is smaller than the width of the material storage slots 3, so as to prevent the first material 5 or the second material 6 in the material storage slots 3 from escaping from the material storage slots 3 from the side, and play a limiting effect on the materials. At the same time, since there is a gap between two adjacent baffles 102, the storage situation in each material storage slot 3 can be conveniently observed.

[0060] like Figure 5 and 8 As shown, the length of the baffle 102 is substantially the same as that of the material storage tank 3, and mounting grooves 103 corresponding to the positions of the material outlet 32 ​​are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the baffle 102, and a rotating shaft 141 is fixed in each mounting groove 103, and the blocking block 14 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 103 through the rotating shaft 141. At the same time, in order to meet the requirement that the blocking block 14 can only rotate and reset in the second direction, the side of the mounting groove 103 facing the second direction is open, so that when the blocking block 14 is subjected to a force in the second direction, it can rotate outward and then freely fall and reset; and the side of the mounting groove 103 facing the first direction is provided with a side wall, and the side of the blocking block 14 facing the first direction is formed with an abutting surface, and the abutting surface abuts against the side wall to prevent the blocking block 14 from rotating in the first direction.

[0061] In one embodiment, only one pair of blocking blocks 14 may be provided. Specifically, a frame is fixedly installed above the second push plate 10, and a pair or one blocking block 14 is rotatably installed on the frame through a rotating shaft 141. The installation method of the blocking block 14 is the same as the above, that is, the frame is also provided with a mounting groove 103 of the same structure, and the blocking block 14 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 103. Since the blocking block 14 is located on the movement path of the second push plate 10, each time the second material 6 is placed on the second push plate 10, the blocking block 14 can also block the second material 6 until it falls to the second work station 8. Moreover, since the blocking block 14 is relatively fixed in position, when different storage troughs 3 are switched in position, the blocking block 14 in this embodiment can play the same role. Compared with the above scheme in which multiple pairs of blocking blocks 14 are provided, the number of blocking blocks 14 can be saved, and the cost can be reduced.

[0062] In the above-mentioned multiple schemes, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are both connected to the same driving cylinder 12, thereby realizing the action of dividing materials in two directions at the same time under one power source and one motion stroke. The structure is simple, the control process is easy, and the action execution efficiency is high, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0063] In another embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member drives the first pushing mechanism to reciprocate in the first direction, and the second driving member drives the second pushing mechanism to reciprocate in the second direction. Specifically, the first driving member is a first cylinder, the second driving member is a second cylinder, the first pushing mechanism is a first push plate 9, and the second pushing mechanism is a second push plate 10, that is, the first cylinder and the second cylinder operate alternately, driving the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 to move alternately, respectively entering and exiting the discharge port 32 from two directions, and pushing the first material 5 and the second material 6 to the first station 7 and the second station 8 in two different directions.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are in the same plane, and after the first push plate 9 completes one reciprocating motion, the second push plate 10 starts to perform the action.

[0065] In another embodiment, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are not in the same plane, such as the bottom surface of the second push plate 10 is flush with the upper surface of the first push plate 9, that is, the second push plate 10 can move to the upper surface of the first push plate 9 to form a superimposed structure. In this embodiment, when the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 out of the discharge port 32, the second material 6 falls onto the first push plate 9 under the action of gravity, and then the second push plate 10 can move and push the second material 6 to the second station 8, and then the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are reset respectively, and then the next cycle is carried out. In this embodiment, there is only a short-term staggered relationship between the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10, that is, after the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 out of the discharge port 32, the second push plate 10 can start pushing the second material 6, without having to wait for the first push plate 9 to complete a whole reciprocating motion before starting, which shortens the cycle time of the action and improves production efficiency.

[0066] On the basis of the above-mentioned multiple solutions, it is also necessary to explain the discharge port 32. The height of the discharge port 32 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first material 5 and the second material 6 in the discharge port 32. Specifically, in different embodiments, different height designs are required:

[0067] In the embodiment where the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are fixedly connected, Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the height of the discharge port 32 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the thicker material of the first material 5 and the second material 6, and the thickness of the discharge port 32 is less than the superposition thickness of the first material 5 and the second material 6, thereby preventing the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10 from taking away two materials in one stroke, and ensuring that only one material is pushed in one stroke;

[0068] For example, in an embodiment where the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 move independently of each other, and in this embodiment, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are in the same plane, the height of the discharge port 32 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the thicker material of the first material 5 and the second material 6, and the thickness of the discharge port 32 is less than the thickness of the first material 5 and the second material 6 combined, thereby preventing the first push plate 9 or the second push plate 10 from taking away two materials in one stroke, and ensuring that only one material is pushed in one stroke;

[0069] For example, in an embodiment in which the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 move separately and independently from each other, and in this embodiment, the first push plate 9 and the second push plate 10 are not in the same plane, the height of the discharge port 32 is greater than or equal to the superimposed thickness of a first material 5 and a second material 6, so that when the first push plate 9 pushes the first material 5 out of the discharge port 32, the second push plate 10 can push the second material 6 along the second direction.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 5-6 As shown, at least one through avoidance groove 33 is formed inwardly on the circumferential side wall of the discharge port 32. Due to the arrangement of the avoidance groove 33, a large gap and space is formed between the side wall of the discharge port 32 and the first material 5 and the second material 6, which can reduce the situation of getting stuck during movement. In another embodiment, an avoidance groove 33 is opened at each of the four corners of the discharge port 32, which is more conducive to the smooth sliding out of the first material 5 and the second material 6.

[0071] In one embodiment, since the first material 5 is a magnet and the second material 6 is a separator, different requirements are placed on the magnetic poles of the magnets when feeding the magnets in the linear motor. For example, in this embodiment, the downward magnetic poles of the magnets in two adjacent storage slots 3 are opposite. Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to prevent errors during loading, the material storage plate 101 is further provided with an anti-idiot groove 4 directly below the material discharge port 32, in which an anti-idiot magnetic block 41 is provided. The magnetic pole of the magnet that can be placed in the corresponding material storage slot 3 is determined by setting the magnetic pole of the anti-idiot magnetic block 41 to face upwards. That is, if the magnetic pole of the magnet placed in the material storage slot 3 is incorrect, it cannot be installed smoothly, thereby achieving an anti-idiot effect.
