Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnet manufacturing technology, and in particular to a device suitable for automatic feeding, handling, and orderly arrangement of magnets. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the magnet production process, it is necessary to separate the magnet assembly formed by the mutual attraction of several magnets, and then manually move the jig plate forward, manually operate the hand valve to extend and retract the cylinder, and place the individual magnets on the jig plate in sequence for subsequent assembly processes.

[0003] The applicant has discovered that the prior art has at least the following technical problems: because the thickness of the thin magnet is between 0.3mm and 1mm, multiple magnets to be pushed are not in the same plane, causing material jamming during the pushing process. This requires manual adjustment, which is inaccurate, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has low production efficiency, affecting the normal operation of subsequent processes.

Driven by a pushing cylinder, the upper surface of the pushing plate is a mirror-finished stainless steel cover plate. The pushing plate has a magnet placement slot corresponding to the outlet of the storage tank. The projected area of ​​the magnet placement slot covers the projected area of ​​the outlet of the storage tank. The depth of the magnet placement slot is greater than the thickness of a single magnet. The storage tank is equipped with a magnet low-material alarm sensor for electrical connection with the controller. The first adsorption seat is driven by a first adsorption cylinder moving along the Z-axis to adsorb the single magnet located at the bottom of the storage tank into the magnet placement slot.

[0009] Preferably, the first Y-axis transmission mechanism includes a Y-axis slide and a first Y-axis guide rail disposed on both sides of the Y-axis slide.

[0010] Preferably, the handling and placement mechanism includes a material blocking and separating seat, a second adsorption seat, a second Y-axis transmission mechanism, a first Z-axis transmission mechanism, a second Z-axis transmission mechanism, a separation and lifting cylinder, a second adsorption cylinder, and a handling cylinder; the material blocking and separating seat is slidably connected to the first Z-axis transmission mechanism and driven by the separation and lifting cylinder, and the first Z-axis transmission mechanism is perpendicularly connected to the second Y-axis transmission mechanism; the second adsorption seat is slidably connected to the second Z-axis transmission mechanism and driven by the second adsorption cylinder, and is used to adsorb a single magnet located in the magnet placement slot; the projected area of ​​the material blocking and separating seat coincides with the projected area of ​​the second adsorption seat and is smaller than the projected area of ​​the magnet placement slot; when the second adsorption seat is at the lower limit position, the lower end face of the second adsorption seat abuts against the upper end face of the material blocking and separating seat;

[0011] Preferably, the second Y-axis transmission mechanism includes a Y-axis drag chain assembly and a second Y-axis guide rail that slides with the Y-axis drag chain assembly. The drag chain assembly is driven by a transport motor and is used to drive the first Z-axis transmission mechanism to make the material blocking and separating seat and the second adsorption seat reciprocate along the second Y-axis guide rail.

[0015] Preferably, the X-axis transmission mechanism includes an X-axis slide and X-axis guide rails disposed on both sides of the X-axis slide. The X-axis slide is driven by a feeding cylinder to drive the jig iron plate to reciprocate along the X-axis guide rails.

[0016] The preferred technical solution of the present invention can also produce at least the following technical effects:

[0017] 1. This invention effectively avoids the technical problems of manual material pushing in the prior art, which is characterized by low accuracy, labor-intensive and time-consuming process, low production efficiency, and impact on the normal operation of subsequent processes. This invention uses at least one set of pushing mechanism, handling and picking mechanism and dispensing mechanism arranged sequentially along the magnet transmission direction. The pushing mechanism separates the single magnet from the magnet assembly and pushes it along the Y-axis to the picking position of the handling and picking mechanism. The handling and picking mechanism adsorbs the single magnet located at the picking position and arranges it regularly on the dispensing mechanism, realizing automated pushing, handling and picking and orderly arrangement of magnets. It has high accuracy and stability, high production efficiency, low production cost and high practicality.

[0018] 2. The first adsorption seat is driven to move upward along the Z-axis by the first adsorption cylinder. Since the first adsorption seat is made of iron, it can adsorb the single magnet located at the bottom of the storage bin to the magnet placement slot, so that the single magnet is separated from the magnet assembly, which strongly ensures the smoothness of production.

[0019] 3. The push plate has a positioning groove that matches the thickness of a single magnet, enabling the push and pick-up of thin magnets of different thicknesses, making it more widely applicable.

[0020] 4. The upper surface of the pusher plate is made of mirror stainless steel cover plate, which effectively prevents copper leakage from the magnet.

[0021] 5. The storage bin, on the side away from the feeding mechanism, has a transparent acrylic cover and a stainless steel cover connected sequentially from top to bottom along the Z-axis. The transparent acrylic cover allows for a direct observation of the remaining amount of the magnet assembly in the storage bin. Since the friction between the single magnet at the bottom of the storage bin and the pusher plate is relatively large when the pusher cylinder drives the pusher plate to reset, a stainless steel cover with good wear resistance is selected to avoid prolonged contact and friction between the lower end of the storage bin and the upper end of the pusher plate during the pushing process, which could cause the storage bin to bend or break.

[0022] 6. Multiple sets of pushing mechanisms, handling and loading mechanisms, and unloading mechanisms arranged along the X-axis operate synchronously, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of operators. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1-7 This invention provides an automatic magnet feeding, handling, and orderly arrangement device, comprising a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a handling and handling mechanism 11, and a dispensing mechanism 24 arranged sequentially along the magnet transport direction on the frame 1, and a controller. The feeding mechanism 2, the handling and handling mechanism 11, and the dispensing mechanism 24 are electrically connected to the controller. The feeding mechanism 2, the handling and handling mechanism 11, and the dispensing mechanism 24 are at least two sets arranged along the X-axis, preferably two sets arranged symmetrically along the X-axis, achieving multi-row and multi-column arrangement of multiple magnets, greatly improving production efficiency. The feeding mechanism 2 separates single magnets from magnet assemblies and pushes them along the Y-axis to the picking position of the handling and handling mechanism 11. The handling and handling mechanism 11 attracts the single magnets located at the picking position and arranges them regularly onto the dispensing mechanism 24.

[0043] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 3-4As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a storage bin 3, a feeding plate 4, a first adsorption seat 5, a first Y-axis transmission mechanism, a feeding cylinder 7, and a first adsorption cylinder 6. The storage bin 3, the feeding plate 4, and the first adsorption seat 5 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the Z-axis. The storage bin 3 has at least one set of storage troughs 31, which are used to store magnet assemblies that are sequentially adsorbed and stacked along the Z-axis. On the side of the storage bin 3 away from the discharging mechanism 24, there is a transparent acrylic cover plate 32 and a stainless steel cover plate 33 that are sequentially connected from top to bottom along the Z-axis. The two sides of the storage bin 3 are fixed by a storage bin support frame 10. The pusher plate 4 is slidably connected to the first Y-axis transmission mechanism and driven by the pusher cylinder 7. The upper surface of the pusher plate 4 is a mirror-finished stainless steel cover plate 33. A magnet placement groove 41 corresponding to the outlet of the storage tank 31 is opened on the pusher plate 4. The projected area of ​​the magnet placement groove 41 covers the projected area of ​​the outlet of the storage tank 31, and the depth of the magnet placement groove 41 is greater than the thickness of a single magnet. A magnet depletion alarm sensor for electrical connection with the controller is provided on the storage tank 31. The first adsorption seat 5 is driven by the first adsorption cylinder 6 moving along the Z-axis direction to adsorb the single magnet located at the bottom of the storage tank 3 into the magnet placement groove 41.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the first Y-axis transmission mechanism includes a Y-axis slide 8 and a first Y-axis guide rail 9 disposed on both sides of the Y-axis slide 8. The Y-axis slide 8 is fixedly connected to the pusher plate 4 and driven by the pusher cylinder 7 to drive the pusher plate 4 to reciprocate along the first Y-axis guide rail 9 perpendicular to the movement direction of the first adsorption seat 5.

[0045] When the pushing cylinder 7 is at the origin position, the storage bin 3, the magnet placement slot 41 and the first adsorption seat 5 are in the same plane. The first adsorption cylinder 6 is driven to make the first adsorption seat 5 move upward along the Z-axis direction and be adsorbed into the magnet placement slot 41 by the single magnet located at the bottom of the storage bin 3. Then, the pushing cylinder 7 is driven to make the Y-axis slide table 8 drive the pushing plate 4, the first adsorption seat 5 and the first adsorption cylinder 6 to move along the first Y-axis guide rail 9 towards the feeding mechanism 24 until the magnet placement slot 41 of the pushing plate 4 reaches the feeding position of the handling and feeding mechanism 11, waiting for the handling and feeding mechanism 11 to pick up the material.

[0046] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 5-6As shown, the handling and placement mechanism 11 includes a material-blocking separation seat 12, a second adsorption seat 13, a second Y-axis transmission mechanism, a first Z-axis transmission mechanism, a second Z-axis transmission mechanism, a separation lifting cylinder 14, a second adsorption cylinder 15, and a handling cylinder 16. The material-blocking separation seat 12 is slidably connected to the first Z-axis transmission mechanism and driven by the separation lifting cylinder 14. The first Z-axis transmission mechanism is perpendicularly connected to the second Y-axis transmission mechanism. The second adsorption seat 13 is slidably connected to the second Z-axis transmission mechanism and driven by the second adsorption cylinder 15. It is used to adsorb a single magnet located in the magnet placement slot 41. The material of the second adsorption seat 13 is preferably iron. The projected area of ​​the material-blocking separation seat 12 and the projected area of ​​the second adsorption seat 13 coincide and are smaller than the projected area of ​​the magnet placement slot 41. When the second adsorption seat 13 is in the lower limit position, the lower end surface of the second adsorption seat 13 abuts against the upper end surface of the material-blocking separation seat 12.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the second Y-axis transmission mechanism includes a Y-axis drag chain assembly 17 and a second Y-axis guide rail 18 that slides with the Y-axis drag chain assembly 17. The drag chain assembly is driven by a transport motor and is used to drive the first Z-axis transmission mechanism to make the material blocking seat 12 and the second adsorption seat 13 reciprocate along the second Y-axis guide rail 18.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the first Z-axis transmission mechanism includes a first Z-axis slide 19 and a first Z-axis fixed platform 20 that slides with the first Z-axis slide 19. The first Z-axis fixed platform 20 is vertically connected to the Y-axis drag chain assembly 17. The first Z-axis slide 19 is driven by a separation lifting cylinder 14. The first Z-axis slide 19 is fixedly connected to the baffle separation seat 12 through a right-angle plate 21, which is used to drive the baffle separation seat 12 to reciprocate along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the second Z-axis transmission mechanism includes a second Z-axis slide 22 and a second Z-axis fixed stage 23 that slides with the second Z-axis slide 22. The second Z-axis slide 22 is driven by a second adsorption cylinder 15 to drive the second adsorption seat 13 to reciprocate along the track of the second Z-axis fixed stage 23. The second Z-axis fixed stage 23 and the second adsorption cylinder 15 are fixedly connected to the right-angle plate 21.

[0050] First, the drive separation lifting cylinder 14 causes the first Z-axis slide 19 to move the material-blocking separation seat 12 downwards along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the lower end face of the material-blocking separation seat 12 is inserted into the magnet placement slot 41 and tightly adheres to the single magnet. Then, the drive second adsorption cylinder 15 causes the second Z-axis slide 22 to move the second adsorption seat 13 downwards along the track of the second Z-axis fixed platform 23, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the lower end face of the second adsorption seat 13 is tightly adhered to the upper end face of the material-blocking separation seat 12, and the second adsorption seat 13 is adsorbed together with the single magnet in the magnet placement slot 41. At this time, the drive first adsorption cylinder 6 is reset, causing the first adsorption seat 5 to separate from the single magnet. Then, the separation and lifting cylinder 14 is driven to reset, causing the first Z-axis slide 19 to move the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet upward along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20. The single magnet separates from the pusher plate 4. Then, the transport motor is driven to cause the Y-axis drag chain assembly 17 to drive the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, causing the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet to move along the second Y-axis guide rail 18, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first Z-axis transmission mechanism, towards the pusher mechanism 2, until they move to the designated position on the jig plate 25. Finally, the separation and lifting cylinder 14 is driven to move the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet downward along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the material blocking separation seat 12 contacts the jig plate 25. Then, the second adsorption cylinder 15 is driven to reset, causing the second adsorption seat 13 to separate from the single magnet, so that the single magnet is arranged regularly and orderly on the jig plate 25.

[0051] The drive separation lifting cylinder 14 and the transport cylinder 16 are reset, and the above steps are repeated to continue transporting and placing. The pushing mechanism 2 pushes out the single magnet in advance while the transport and placement mechanism 11 is in motion, which can save time and improve production efficiency.

[0052] If the second adsorption cylinder 15 extends before the separation and lifting cylinder 14, the single magnet may flip due to the lower suction force of the first suction seat compared to the second suction seat, causing equipment malfunction. Extending the separation and lifting cylinder 14 before the second adsorption cylinder 15 avoids this magnet flipping and equipment malfunction.

[0053] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the feeding mechanism 24 includes a jig plate 25, a tray, an X-axis transmission mechanism, a feeding cylinder 26, and a limiting block 27. The tray is used to support and fix the jig plate 25. The jig plate 25 is slidably connected to the X-axis transmission mechanism through the tray and driven by the feeding cylinder 26. The limiting block 27 is coaxially arranged with the feeding cylinder 26 and is used to limit the movement stroke of the feeding cylinder 26.

[0054] As an optional implementation, the X-axis transmission mechanism includes an X-axis slide and X-axis guide rails 28 disposed on both sides of the X-axis slide. The X-axis slide is driven by a feeding cylinder 26 to drive the jig plate 25 to reciprocate along the X-axis guide rails 28.

[0055] Once the jig plate 25 is in place, the drive cylinder 26 causes the X-axis slide to move the jig plate 25 along the X-axis guide rail 28, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, to the next process.

[0056] Working principle of the invention:

[0057] Step 1: Power on the equipment and control each cylinder to reset via the controller, then place the jig plate 25 onto the tray;

[0058] Step 2: Drive the first adsorption cylinder 6 to move the first adsorption seat 5 upward along the Z-axis direction, and adsorb it into the magnet placement slot 41 with the single magnet located at the bottom of the storage bin 3. Then, drive the push cylinder 7 to drive the Y-axis slide table 8 to move the push plate 4, the first adsorption seat 5 and the first adsorption cylinder 6 along the first Y-axis guide rail 9 towards the discharge mechanism 24 until the magnet placement slot 41 of the push plate 4 reaches the material picking position of the handling and picking mechanism 11, and wait for the handling and picking mechanism 11 to pick up the material.

[0059] Step 3: Drive the separation lifting cylinder 14 to move the first Z-axis slide 19, which in turn moves the material-blocking separation seat 12 downwards along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the lower end face of the material-blocking separation seat 12 is inserted into the magnet placement slot 41 and tightly adheres to the single magnet. Then, drive the second adsorption cylinder 15 to move the second Z-axis slide 22, which in turn moves the second adsorption seat 13 downwards along the track of the second Z-axis fixed platform 23, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the lower end face of the second adsorption seat 13 is tightly adhered to the upper end face of the material-blocking separation seat 12, and the second adsorption seat 13 is adsorbed together with the single magnet in the magnet placement slot 41. At this time, drive the first adsorption cylinder 6 to reset, so that the first adsorption seat 5 separates from the single magnet. Then, the separation and lifting cylinder 14 is driven to reset, causing the first Z-axis slide 19 to move the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet upward along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20. The single magnet separates from the pusher plate 4. Then, the transport motor is driven to cause the Y-axis drag chain assembly 17 to drive the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, causing the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet to move along the second Y-axis guide rail 18, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first Z-axis transmission mechanism, towards the pusher mechanism 2, until they move to the designated position on the jig plate 25. Finally, the separation and lifting cylinder 14 is driven to move the material blocking separation seat 12, the second adsorption seat 13, and the single magnet downward along the track of the first Z-axis fixed platform 20, which is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism, until the material blocking separation seat 12 contacts the jig plate 25. Then, the second adsorption cylinder 15 is driven to reset, causing the second adsorption seat 13 to separate from the single magnet, so that the single magnet is arranged regularly and orderly on the jig plate 25. The drive separation lifting cylinder 14 and the transport cylinder 16 are reset, and the above steps are repeated to continue transporting and placing.

[0060] Step 4: Once the jig plate 25 is placed, drive the feeding cylinder 26 to make the X-axis slide move the jig plate 25 along the X-axis guide rail 28 perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second Y-axis transmission mechanism to the next process. Repeat this process to realize the automatic feeding, handling, picking up and placing and orderly arrangement of single magnets.

The control box has a power switch 29, a reset button 30, an emergency stop button 31, and a buzzer 32 on its side wall. All four components are electrically connected to the controller. The power switch 29 controls the power supply to the device, the reset button 30 resets each cylinder, the emergency stop button 31 stops the device in an emergency, and the buzzer 32 issues a warning when the magnet shortage alarm sensor detects a lack of magnets in the storage tank 31.
