[0039] Magnets, crucial internal components in handles, are typically installed in snap-on mechanisms. Magnets are typically supplied in bulk and aligned by their own attraction. Assembly requires separating the magnets and pushing them into the snaps, ensuring the correct polarity. Conventional manual labor is often employed, but this process can be tiring and error-prone, making assembly difficult and inefficient.
[0040] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an assembly device. Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an embodiment of an assembly device provided by the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the feeding assembly and the material taking mechanism in FIG. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A front view of the feeding assembly in FIG. Figure 4 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the assembly mechanism.
[0041] See also Figures 1 to 4 The assembly equipment 100 includes a machine base 1, a feeding component 2, a picking mechanism 3 and an assembly mechanism 4. The machine base 1 is provided with a feeding station, a loading station and an assembly station; the feeding component 2 includes a silo 21 and an anti-fool structure 22. The silo 21 forms a material channel for stacking multiple magnetic materials. The anti-fool structure 22 is provided at the inlet and / or outlet of the material channel. The anti-fool structure 22 is used to enable the magnetic poles of each magnetic material to be stacked according to a preset magnetic pole direction; the picking mechanism 3 includes a picking portion 31. The picking portion 31 is used to take out the magnetic material from the outlet end of the material channel in sequence and transport it to the loading station; the assembly mechanism 4 includes a picking part 41 for picking up the magnetic material, and the picking part 41 is movably arranged, and has a movable stroke between the loading station and the assembly station, and a movable stroke in the up and down directions. The picking part 41 is used to transport the magnetic material from the loading station to the assembly station during its movable stroke, and to assemble the magnetic material onto the product at the assembly station during the downward movable stroke.
[0042] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, a plurality of magnetic materials that are magnetically connected to each other are placed in the material channel of the silo 21. Through the anti-fool structure 22, the magnetic poles of each magnetic material can be stacked and arranged according to the preset magnetic pole direction to avoid the reverse installation of the magnetic pole. After the plurality of magnetic materials are placed in the silo 21, the material picking part 31 takes out each magnetic material from the outlet end of the material channel according to the preset magnetic pole direction and sends it to the loading station. Finally, the picking part 41 transports the magnetic material located at the loading station to the assembly station, and presses the magnetic material downward to assemble it onto the product at the assembly station. By setting the anti-fool structure 22 to avoid the magnetic pole direction, it can be automatically installed on the product according to the preset magnetic pole direction through the material picking mechanism 3 and the assembly mechanism 4, which can realize the assembly of magnetic materials with a high degree of automation to solve the problems of low efficiency and low degree of automation in the existing assembly of magnetic materials.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fool-proofing structure 22 includes a Hall sensor 221 provided at the inlet end of the material channel; and / or, the fool-proofing structure 22 includes a magnet 222 provided at the outlet end of the material channel.
[0044] It should be noted that the Hall sensor 221 is a sensor based on the Hall effect, which can measure the strength and direction of a magnetic field. The Hall effect refers to the phenomenon that when an electric current passes through a conductor, if the conductor is in a magnetic field, a certain potential difference is generated on both sides of the conductor. This phenomenon is called the Hall effect. The basic principle of the Hall sensor 221 is to use the Hall effect to measure the strength and direction of the magnetic field. It consists of a Hall element, a power supply, and an output circuit. When current passes through the Hall element, if it is in a magnetic field, a certain potential difference is generated on both sides of the Hall element. This potential difference is related to the strength and direction of the magnetic field. The output circuit converts this potential difference into a voltage signal, thereby achieving the measurement of the magnetic field. Among the Hall sensors 221, the linear Hall sensor 221 can measure the strength and direction of the magnetic field.
[0045] In this way, the Hall sensor 221 can be used to measure the characteristics of the magnetic pole direction. When the Hall sensor 221 is set at the inlet end of the material channel, when the operator or the loading device is loading, when the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials that are magnetically attracted to each other are opposite to the set magnetic poles, the Hall sensor 221 detects the abnormality and sends a detection signal. It can be understood that the anti-fool structure 22 also includes a control device and a reminder device. The control device is electrically connected to the reminder device and the Hall sensor 221. The reminder device can be a sounding device, or an alarm light or other device. When the Hall sensor 221 detects a magnetic pole abnormality, the control device controls the reminder device to work after receiving the detection signal, so as to facilitate timely adjustment of the installed magnetic poles of the magnetic material.
[0046] When a magnet 222 is set at the outlet end of the material channel for error prevention, the magnetic pole direction of the magnet 222 can be set to be consistent with the preset magnetic pole direction of the magnetic material. When the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials in the material channel are loaded into the material channel according to the set direction, the magnet 222 magnetically attracts the multiple magnetic materials in the material channel to further fall. When the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials in the material channel are not loaded into the material channel according to the set direction, that is, the magnetic poles of the magnetic materials are installed upside down, the magnet 222 repels the multiple magnetic materials in the material channel to prevent the magnetic materials in the material channel from falling.
[0047] Specifically, to facilitate layout and achieve a compact structure of the assembly apparatus 100, in this embodiment, the feeding station and the loading station are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The retrieving mechanism 3 includes a first drive device 32 having a first drive portion movable in the longitudinal direction. The first drive portion is fixedly connected to the retrieving portion 31 to drive the retrieving portion 31 to move in the longitudinal direction. The first drive device 32 can be configured as a linear motor, for example, and the first drive portion can be a movable slider of the linear motor. This structure is simple, compact, and highly stable.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material channel extends in the vertical direction, so that when a plurality of magnetic materials are placed in the material channel, the magnetic materials can move from the inlet end to the outlet end of the material channel through the gravity of the magnetic materials themselves.
[0049] The feeding assembly 2 also includes a mounting portion 23 provided at the bottom of the silo 21, the mounting portion 23 forming a feeding channel 23a extending longitudinally, and a discharge port connecting the feeding channel 23a and the material channel is penetrated at the top of the mounting portion 23, so that the magnetic material located below can fall from the discharge port into the feeding channel 23a. In order to facilitate the removal of the magnetic material from the material collection channel 23a, in this embodiment, the material collection mechanism 3 also includes a material receiving portion 331, which is provided with the material collection portion 31. The material receiving portion 331 is movably arranged between the machine base 1 and the material channel along the longitudinal direction. The material receiving portion 331 has a material collection position and a loading position in its movable stroke. When the material receiving portion 331 moves to the material collection position, the material collection portion 31 corresponds to the discharge port and picks up a magnetic material at the bottom end of the material channel. When the material receiving portion 331 moves to the loading position, the material collection portion 31 is separated and staggered from the discharge port and exposed outside the material collection channel 23a and reaches the loading station. In this way, during the movable stroke of the material receiving portion 331 along the longitudinal direction, a magnetic material can be picked up from the discharge port each time to the outside of the material collection channel 23a, so that the picking portion 41 can pick up the material.
[0050] Furthermore, by providing the material taking channel 23 a , when the material receiving portion 331 moves in the longitudinal direction, the side wall of the material taking channel 23 a can guide the material receiving portion 331 , thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the material receiving portion 331 .
[0051] Furthermore, in order to improve the assembly efficiency, it is necessary to improve the loading efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, the material bin 21, the material taking part 31 and the material receiving part 331 are each provided in plurality, and the plurality of material bins 21 are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, and the plurality of material taking channels 23a are provided in plurality, and the plurality of material taking channels 23a are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction; the feeding assembly 2 includes a plurality of material receiving plates 33, and each of the material receiving plates 33 includes a plurality of support arms arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, and each of the support arms is arranged corresponding to a material taking channel 23a, and each of the support arms forms the material receiving part 331.
[0052] It can be understood that each of the material receiving plates 33 can be driven by a driving device, and different driving devices can be used to control different material receiving plates 33 respectively. One or more driving devices can be controlled to work and take materials according to the actual material feeding and assembly rate, thereby adapting to more loading scenarios.
[0053] In this way, by setting up multiple material bins 21 for simultaneous material feeding and using multiple material receiving parts 331 to simultaneously receive and take materials, the efficiency of taking materials is greatly improved. Multiple magnetic materials can be taken in each reciprocating formation driven by the driving device, and the material taking efficiency is high.
[0054] Furthermore, after the material picking portion 31 picks up the material, when the material receiving portion 331 moves away from the discharge port in the longitudinal direction, the material picking portion 31 can reach the loading station only if the material receiving portion 331 is completely offset from the discharge port. Then, the magnetic material in the hopper 21 will fall from the discharge port into the material picking channel 23a due to gravity, rather than falling on the material receiving portion 331. In order to ensure that the plurality of magnetic materials in the hopper 21 can remain in the material channel when the material receiving portion 331 is in the loading position, and the picking portion 41 can pick up the material when the material receiving portion 331 is in the material picking position, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 also includes a sealing portion provided on one side of the discharge port, and the sealing portion can be arranged close to and away from the discharge port in the lateral direction, and the sealing portion has an open position for opening the discharge port and a closed position for closing the discharge port in its active stroke. Thus, when the receiving portion 331 is in the loading position, the sealing portion moves laterally to seal the discharge port, so that multiple magnetic materials can be confined in the material channel. When the receiving portion 331 is in the removing position, the sealing portion opens to facilitate the removing portion 31 to remove materials.
[0055] Furthermore, in order to simplify the structure of the material-retrieving part 31, the material-retrieving part 31 can be set as a separation trough, and the separation trough can be set as a contoured trough. The contoured trough has the same shape as the magnetic material and can just accommodate the magnetic material, and the depth of the contoured trough is the same as the height of the magnetic material. When the material-receiving part 331 moves to the material-retrieving position, the separation trough corresponds to the discharge port, and the magnet in the material channel enters the separation trough under the action of gravity. When the material-receiving part 331 moves to the loading position, the separation trough separates from the material channel and reaches the feeding station, thereby separating the magnetic material from the magnetic material in the material channel, avoiding the problem of manual separation of magnets when the volume of the magnets is small.
[0056] Since there are many ways to drive the sealing part to switch between the open position and the closed position, a driving device such as a cylinder may be provided to drive the sealing part to move. However, in order to make the structure simpler, further, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 also includes an elastic member provided in the material collection channel 23a, and the elastic member is provided on the side of the sealing part away from the material receiving part 331, and is used to provide a reset force when the sealing part moves toward the closed position. In this way, when the material receiving part 331 is in the loading position, the elastic part does not deform in the longitudinal direction and is in an extended state. At this time, the sealing part is aligned with the discharge port to seal the lower end of the material channel. When the material receiving part 331 moves toward the material picking position, the support arms of the material receiving part 331 support the sealing part, and the elastic part is compressed, which drives the sealing part to move laterally to open the discharge port until the picking part 41 is aligned with the discharge port to pick up the material. When the material receiving part 331 moves toward the loading position, the elastic part restores its deformation and automatically switches the sealing part to the closed position.
[0057] In this way, by setting the elastic part to drive the sealing part to open and close the discharge port, the material receiving part 331 can have a freer range of motion after being pulled out of the material collection channel 23a. When the loading station is far away or a feeding process in the up and down directions is required, it is not restricted, which is convenient for subsequent assembly.
[0058] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the material taking part 31 to take materials, the magnet 222 of the foolproof structure 22 can be set at the bottom of the installation part 23, or on the bottom wall of the material taking channel 23a. In this way, it can cooperate well with the material receiving part 331. When the magnetic poles of the magnetic material in the material channel are installed in the correct direction, the support arm extends into the material taking channel 23a, and the magnet 222 attracts the magnetic material in the material bin 21 and drops it into the separation groove on the support arm; when the magnetic poles of the magnetic material in the material channel are installed in the wrong direction, the support arm extends into the material taking channel 23a, and the magnet 222 repels the magnetic material in the material bin 21 and drops it into the separation groove on the support arm. The separation groove is always empty and cannot be used for material taking.
[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the loading station and the assembly station are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction; the assembly mechanism 4 also includes a second drive device 42 and a third drive device 43, the second drive device 42 is provided on the machine base 1, and has a second drive portion that moves in the transverse direction; the third drive device 43 is fixedly installed on the second drive portion, and the third drive device 43 has a third drive portion that can be movably arranged in the vertical direction, and the third drive portion is fixedly connected to the pickup portion 41 to drive the pickup portion 41 to move up and down. The second drive device 42 can be set as a linear motor, etc., and the second drive portion can be a movable slider of the linear motor, so that the structure is simple, compact, and highly stable. The third drive device 43 can be set as a cylinder, and the third drive portion is the cylinder rod of the cylinder.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the picking portion 41 includes an elastically arranged magnetic nozzle 411, that is, an elastic buffer is provided at the upper end of the magnetic nozzle 411, thereby reducing the impact force of the magnetic nozzle 411 on the magnetic material during the material picking or assembly process.
[0061] Specifically, the pickup portion 41 includes a plurality of magnetic nozzles 411 that are spaced apart in the transverse direction. In this way, the plurality of magnetic nozzles 411 can simultaneously pick up materials and assemble at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up materials and assembling.
[0062] Specifically, to facilitate accurate assembly of the pickup unit 41, in this embodiment, the assembly apparatus further includes a position measurement device 5 and a control device. The position measurement device 5 is used to measure the position of the magnetic material picked up by the pickup unit 41 at the assembly station, as well as the position of the product at the assembly station. The control device is electrically connected to the position measurement device 5 and the second and third drive devices 42, 43, and is used to control the operation of the second and third drive devices 42, 43 based on the position measurement device 5. Specifically, the position measurement device 5 includes a first image acquisition system and a second image acquisition system. The first image acquisition system captures an image of the magnetic material picked up by the pickup unit 41 at the assembly station, and the second image acquisition system captures an image of the product at the assembly station. The position coordinates of the two images are used to determine the displacement of the pickup unit 41. The control device controls the movement of the pickup unit 41 based on the displacement to ensure assembly accuracy.
