[0002] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets, also known as neodymium magnets, are third-generation rare-earth permanent magnet materials. They are currently the second strongest permanent magnets after holmium magnets at absolute zero, boasting advantages such as high performance and cost-effectiveness. Currently, NdFeB magnets are widely used in electronics, machinery, energy, transportation, and other fields.

[0003] Servo motors are one of the application areas of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets. In servo motors, a toroidal NdFeB magnetic ring is required to increase stability. However, the manufacturing process of the NdFeB magnetic ring involves surface treatment, such as grinding the outer and inner surfaces.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A high-precision neodymium iron boron magnet surface treatment mechanism for servo motors, used for grinding ring-shaped or tubular neodymium iron boron magnet parts 8, includes a base 1, on which a clamping mechanism 2 and a grinding mechanism 3 are mounted. The essential feature distinguishing this embodiment from the prior art is:

[0044] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a grinding column 21, the side of which is provided with an inner wall grinding surface 211 for grinding the inner surface of the neodymium iron boron magnet component 8. The clamping mechanism 2 clamps the neodymium iron boron magnet component by air suction clamping to avoid damage to the surface of the neodymium iron boron magnet component. Its specific structure is as follows: the clamping seat 26 is connected to an air pump 28 through a hose. The clamping seat 26 is provided with a soft clamping sleeve 27, the bottom of which is provided with a vent hole 271, which is connected to the hose.

[0045] The polishing mechanism 3 includes an assembly frame 31, on which, from top to bottom, are coaxially mounted an upper assembly plate 32, alternating first and second polishing rings 40 and 41, and a lower assembly plate 33. The inner walls of the first and second polishing rings 40 and 41 are provided with outer wall polishing surfaces 43 for polishing the outer surface of the neodymium iron boron magnet component 8. The first polishing ring 40 is driven by a first polishing motor 34, and the second polishing ring 41 is driven by a second polishing motor 35, with the first and second polishing motors 34 and 35 rotating in opposite directions.

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The first grinding motor 34 and the second grinding motor 35 are started, and the first grinding ring 40 and the second grinding ring 41 rotate in opposite directions. The clamping mechanism 2 clamps the NdFeB magnet 8 above the grinding mechanism 3, and then lowers it. The clamping mechanism 2 releases the clamp, and the NdFeB magnet 8 falls under the action of gravity. During the falling process, the outer wall of the NdFeB magnet 8 is ground by the outer wall grinding surfaces 43 of the first grinding ring 40 and the second grinding ring 41. At the same time, the NdFeB magnet 8 is driven to rotate, so that the inner wall of the NdFeB magnet 8 is ground by the inner wall grinding surface 211 located on the grinding column 21. When the NdFeB magnet 8 is completely removed from the grinding range of the grinding mechanism 3, the grinding is completed. This embodiment moves and grinds in the vertical direction, has high centering accuracy, and can grind both the outer and inner walls of the NdFeB magnet 8 at the same time, which greatly improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the polishing process is fully automated, requiring no manual operation, which greatly reduces labor costs.

[0047] As a specific embodiment, the specific structures of the first grinding ring 40 and the second grinding ring 41 are as follows: Both the first grinding ring 40 and the second grinding ring 41 include a grinding ring body 42. The grinding ring body 42 is provided with an assembly groove 44 and an assembly flange 45. The assembly groove 44 can be assembled with an adjacent assembly flange 45. A bearing 46 is assembled between the assembly flange 45 and the assembly groove 44. The grinding ring body 42 is provided with gear teeth 47, and the grinding ring body 42 is connected to a transmission gear 36 through the gear teeth 47. The transmission gear 36 is connected and driven by the first grinding motor 34 or the second grinding motor 35.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the grinding precision of the lower outer wall grinding surface 43 in the grinding mechanism 3 is higher than that of the upper outer wall grinding surface 43. The grinding precision of the inner wall grinding surface 211 increases sequentially from top to bottom. This allows the neodymium iron boron magnet 8 to achieve high-precision grinding in the grinding mechanism 3.

[0049] The advantage of this embodiment is that it enables high-precision grinding of the neodymium iron boron magnet 8, and the grinding precision can be quickly adjusted by disassembling or adding the first grinding ring 40 or the second grinding ring 41 located below.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a moving mechanism 5 for driving the clamping mechanism 2 to move for clamping. The moving mechanism 5 includes symmetrically arranged lifting screws 51, with a lifting platform 52 assembled between the lifting screws 51. A lifting motor 54 is mounted on the lifting platform 52, and the lifting motor 54 is used to drive the lifting platform 52 to move up and down. A sliding rail 53 is provided on the lifting platform 52, and the clamping mechanism 2 is assembled in the sliding rail 53.

[0051] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a sliding seat 22 assembled with a sliding rail 53. A sliding motor 23 is mounted on the sliding seat 22, which drives the sliding seat 22 to slide within the sliding rail 53. A lifting column 24 is assembled inside the sliding seat 22, and a clamping motor 25 is mounted on the sliding seat 22. The clamping motor 25 drives the lifting column 24 to rise and fall to clamp the neodymium iron boron magnet component 8. A clamping seat 26 is mounted on the lifting column 24, and the grinding column 21 is installed within the clamping seat 26.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, a conveyor channel 6 is provided on one side of the grinding mechanism 3 on the base 1. A material drop channel 7 is provided on the base 1 below the lower assembly plate 33. This allows the high-precision NdFeB surface treatment device described in this application to be connected and transported with other equipment. The material drop channel 7 is inclined. An air blowing port 71 is provided on the material drop channel 7 below the grinding mechanism 3, and an air pump 72 is externally connected to the air blowing port 71. The air blowing port 71 is used to slow down the falling speed of the NdFeB magnet 8 and disperse the debris generated during grinding.

[0053] The scope of protection of this invention includes, but is not limited to, the above embodiments. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the claims. Any substitutions, modifications, or improvements to this technology that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
