[0002] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets are known as the "King of Magnets" due to their superior magnetic properties and have a wide range of applications. In recent years, the size of magnets used in miniature devices such as mobile phones and electronic watches has been decreasing. Before product assembly, magnets often need to be placed in a magnetizer in the correct position to ensure a specific polarity on the magnet surface. Currently, magnetization is usually done manually, which makes it easy for magnets to be misplaced during magnetization, resulting in products with unqualified magnetic orientation. At the same time, workers are prone to contact with the magnets, causing them to become contaminated with oil and resulting in products with unqualified appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can automatically feed irregularly shaped magnets and ensure that the irregularly shaped magnets complete the correct magnetization operation.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding machine, mainly including a feeding unit 1, a feeding unit, and a collecting unit 4. The feeding unit 1 can identify the irregular features of the irregular magnets 6 and arrange the irregular surfaces of the irregular magnets 6 neatly for conveying. The discharge port of the feeding unit 1 is connected to the feeding unit, and the feeding unit can convey the irregular magnets 6 to the collecting unit 4. The collecting unit 4 is provided with a collecting space, the height of which is slightly higher than the height of a single irregular magnet 6, so that the irregular magnets 6 can enter the collecting space, and the height of the collecting space can prevent the irregular magnets 6 from flipping inside.

[0033] In this embodiment, a feeding unit 1, a conveying unit, and a collecting unit 4 are provided. This enables automatic feeding of irregularly shaped magnets 6, preventing workers from coming into contact with the magnets and contaminating them with oil, thus avoiding defective products. Furthermore, the feeding unit 1 can identify the irregular shape of the magnets 6 and ensure that the irregular surfaces of the magnets 6 are neatly arranged for conveying. The collecting space of the collecting unit 4 allows the irregularly shaped magnets 6 to enter and prevents them from turning over inside, ensuring that the magnets 6 are correctly placed and can complete the correct magnetization operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the feeding unit 1 is preferably a vibratory feeder 11, the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 11 is connected to a discharge track 12, and the discharge track 12 is connected to the feeding unit; furthermore, the vibratory feeder 11 is signal-connected to a first controller 13, which can control the start / stop and vibration frequency of the vibratory feeder 11. This embodiment utilizes the vibratory feeder 11 to automatically identify the irregular shape of the irregularly shaped magnet 6, allowing the irregularly shaped magnet 6 to continue being conveyed on the discharge track 12 of the vibratory feeder 11, while the irregularly shaped surfaces are neatly arranged.

[0035] In this embodiment, the feeding unit includes a first feeding unit 2, which includes a first feeding track 22 and a linear vibrator 21. The first feeding track 22 is located above the linear vibrator 21. The inlet of the first feeding track 22 is connected to the outlet of the outlet track 12 of the vibrating plate 11. The linear vibrator 21 can drive the irregularly shaped magnet 6 to continue to be fed on the first feeding track 22. The linear vibrator 21 is signal-connected to a second controller 23, which can control the start and stop and vibration frequency of the linear vibrator 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding unit further includes a second feeding unit 3, which includes a second feeding track 35. The inlet of the second feeding track 35 is connected to the outlet of the first feeding track 22, and the outlet of the second feeding track 35 is connected to the collecting unit 4. The second feeding track 35 is inclined, and the inlet of the second feeding track 35 is higher than the outlet of the second feeding track 35, so that the irregularly shaped magnet 6 can enter the collecting unit 4 more easily under the action of gravity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second feeding unit 3 further includes a first adjusting component, which can adjust the tilt angle of the second feeding track 35. In a preferred embodiment, the first adjusting component includes a first support block 31, a first arc-shaped guide rail 32, a first arc-shaped slider 33, and a fixed seat. The first arc-shaped guide rail 32 is disposed on the first support block 31, the first arc-shaped slider 33 is slidably mounted on the first arc-shaped guide rail 32, and the fixed seat is mounted on the first arc-shaped slider 33. The fixed seat can support the second feeding track 35.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the first arc-shaped guide rail 32 is an arc-shaped guide rail with its opening facing upwards, and the lower surface of the first arc-shaped slider 33 is an arc-shaped surface that fits against the first arc-shaped guide rail 32. A fixing seat is provided at one end of the first arc-shaped slider 33 near the direct vibration 21. The fixing seat is an L-shaped fixing seat 34 with a slot at the bottom, which is fixed above the first arc-shaped slider 33 by bolts. A notch is provided on the L-shaped fixing seat 34 to fix the second feeding track 35 passing through it, preventing its position from shifting and affecting the conveying of the irregular magnet 6. A support seat is also provided at one end of the first arc-shaped slider 33 near the collecting unit 4 to support the second feeding track 35.

[0039] Furthermore, a screw is provided on the first arc-shaped guide rail 32, and a thread matching the screw is provided on the lower surface of the first arc-shaped slider 33. A knob is provided at the end of the screw. By rotating the knob, the screw can be rotated, thereby driving the first arc-shaped slider 33 to move along the first arc-shaped guide rail 32.

[0040] In this embodiment, the height of the second feeding unit 3 is adjusted by the height of the first support block 31. By rotating the knob, the first arc-shaped slider 33 can slide back and forth along the first arc-shaped guide rail 32, thereby adjusting the angle of the first arc-shaped slider 33 relative to the first arc-shaped guide rail 32, and thus adjusting the tilt angle of the second feeding track 35.

[0041] In this embodiment, the material collection unit 4 includes a material collection box 5, and the material collection box 5 is provided with the material collection space. Further, the material collection unit 4 also includes a material collection baffle 44, which is located below the material collection box 5. The edge of the material collection unit 4 also extends upward with a side baffle. The side baffle can block the material collection box 5, and the side baffle is offset from the inlet of the material collection box 5. While preventing the material collection box 5 from sliding off the material collection baffle 44, it can also avoid affecting the entry of the irregularly shaped magnet 6 into the material collection box 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material collection unit 4 further includes a second adjustment component, which is located below the material collection baffle 44 and can adjust the tilt angle of the material collection baffle 44 and the material collection box 5. In a preferred embodiment, the second adjustment component includes a second support block 41, a second arc-shaped guide rail 42, and a second arc-shaped slider 43. The second arc-shaped guide rail 42 is disposed on the second support block 41, and the second arc-shaped slider 43 is slidably mounted on the second arc-shaped guide rail 42. The material collection baffle 44 is mounted on the second arc-shaped slider 43. The working principle of the second adjustment component is the same as that of the first adjustment component, and will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0043] In this embodiment, a second adjustment component is provided, which enables the angle and position of the inlet of the collection box 5 and the outlet of the second feeding track 35 to be consistent. In addition, the inlet of the collection box 5 is designed with a chamfered R-angle, so that the irregular magnet 6 can slide more easily into the collection space of the collection box 5 to complete the automatic feeding process of the irregular magnet 6.

[0044] Subsequently, the collection box 5 containing the irregularly shaped magnets 6 is manually placed into the magnetizer, and the magnetization operation is performed according to the customer's drawings; such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the irregular magnet 6 in this embodiment is arc-shaped with a large arc size, making it difficult to manually identify the irregular features. The automatic feeding machine in this embodiment can meet the requirements of mass production magnetization.

[0045] Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
