[0040] 6. Vehicles. Detailed Implementation

[0041] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, a modular automated production line includes one magnet assembly module, two automatic dispensing machine modules, two automatic hot pressing modules, two laser adhesive removal modules, and one steel sheet assembly module; the arrangement order is as follows... Figure 1As shown, the modules are, in order: magnet assembly module, automatic dispensing machine module, laser adhesive removal module, automatic hot pressing module, steel sheet assembly module, automatic dispensing machine module, automatic hot pressing module, and laser adhesive removal module. The product handling robot of the first laser adhesive removal module docks with the carrier conveying mechanism of the automatic hot pressing module, while the product handling robot of the second laser adhesive removal module directly unloads the material.

[0044] The magnet assembly module 1 includes an equipment frame A101, a magnet assembly unit 102, a feeding clip assembly 103, an adjustable foot cup A105, a pneumatic triplet A106, an electrical distribution panel A107, a carrier conveying mechanism A109, a carrier return mechanism A110, and a carrier return transport mechanism. The carrier return transport mechanism is located between the ends of the carrier conveying mechanism and the carrier return mechanism, and is used to transport the carrier on the carrier return mechanism to the carrier conveying mechanism. The carrier return transport mechanism is composed of a servo module and a hand gripper. The feeding clip assembly is used to feed the magnet and push the magnet to a designated position. The magnet assembly unit places the magnet onto the carrier of the carrier conveying mechanism.

[0045] The feeding clip assembly includes a feeding clip 111, a suction mechanism 115, a pushing mechanism 113, a lifting mechanism 117, a flipping clip 112, and a support frame 118. The feeding clip is inserted and mounted on the support frame and fixed by the flipping clips on both sides of the support frame, so as to realize the quick assembly and disassembly of the feeding clip. Feeding clips with different trajectories can be customized according to different magnetic materials, but the external dimensions of the feeding clips must be the same to facilitate quick replacement of the feeding clips.

[0046] The suction mechanism is located at one end of the feeding clip. The suction mechanism can move the magnetic material in the feeding clip to the alignment position at the end of the feeding clip. The bottom of the feeding clip is provided near the end of the feeding clip. The lifting mechanism is located below the opening of the feeding clip. The lifting mechanism can push the magnetic material in the feeding clip out. The pushing mechanism is located above the feeding clip. The pushing mechanism can push the magnetic material pushed out by the lifting mechanism to the designated material channel position, waiting for the chuck to pick it up.

[0047] The magnetic steel assembly unit includes a linear servo mechanism 114, a slide rail 120, a lifting cylinder 124, a chuck drive cylinder 121, a demolding cylinder 123, and a chuck 119; the chuck assembly 116 is composed of the demolding cylinder 123 and the chuck 119, and different chuck assemblies can be quickly replaced according to different magnetic products; and the chuck and the feeding spring are matched and set to achieve quick replacement at the same time.

[0048] The slide rail is mounted on the linear servo mechanism. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the slide rail via a cylinder fixing plate. The chuck drive cylinder is mounted on the lifting cylinder via a cylinder fixing plate. The chuck is mounted on the chuck drive cylinder via a chuck fixing plate. The demolding cylinder is mounted on the chuck via a cylinder fixing plate. The demolding cylinder uses a demolding ejector pin to separate the magnetic material from the chuck.

[0049] In this embodiment, the suction mechanism 115, the pushing mechanism 113, and the lifting mechanism 117 are executed by cylinders and corresponding end heads.

[0050] When assembling different magnetic products, the magnet assembly module 1 only requires replacing the chuck and the feeding clip, without the need to redesign a new magnet assembly module, and can be used quickly.

[0051] The automatic dispensing machine module 2 includes an equipment frame B208, an XYZ axis dispensing mechanism 201, a carrier handling mechanism 209, a carrier conveying mechanism B215, a carrier return mechanism B202, a flip-up dispensing station 210, an adjustable foot cup B205, a pneumatic triplet B204, and an electrical distribution panel B207.

[0052] The carrier handling mechanism is located between the carrier conveying mechanism and the flip-over dispensing station. It is used to move the carrier on the carrier conveying mechanism to the flip-over dispensing station. The carrier handling mechanism is executed by a servo gripper.

[0053] The flip-up dispensing station includes a sliding seat 216, a slide rail seat 211, a linear cylinder 213, a flip motor 214, and a carrier positioning plate 215. The sliding seat is mounted on the slide rail seat, and the linear cylinder is mounted on the slide rail seat. The linear cylinder can drive the sliding seat to move linearly on the slide rail seat. The flip motor is mounted on the sliding seat, and the carrier positioning plate is connected to the flip motor. The flip motor can realize the multi-angle flipping action of the carrier positioning plate to suit different magnetic assembly products, such as planar dispensing, multi-directional dispensing, etc. The XYZ axis dispensing mechanism can work with the flip-up dispensing station to achieve all-round dispensing.

[0054] The steel sheet assembly module 3 includes an equipment frame C301, a vibrating feeding tray 302, a steel sheet handling mechanism 303, a cover plate handling mechanism A309, a carrier conveying mechanism C304, a carrier return mechanism C305, a cover plate return mechanism, adjustable feet C308, a pneumatic triplet C307, and an electrical distribution panel C. The cover plate handling mechanism transports the steel sheets on the cover plate return mechanism to the carrier. The cover plate handling mechanism transports the steel sheets fed by the vibrating feeding tray to the carrier of the carrier conveying mechanism. The cover plate return mechanism and the carrier return mechanism C305 are separated by the same conveyor belt along the return direction. The steel sheet handling mechanism 303 and the cover plate handling mechanism A309 both adopt servo mechanisms with different handling chucks.

[0055] The automatic hot pressing module 4 includes an equipment frame D403, a carrier handling robot, a carrier reversing mechanism A402, a carrier reversing mechanism B409, a carrier return mechanism D408, a hot pressing cavity 401, an adjustable foot cup D405, a pneumatic triplet D406, and an electrical distribution panel D404. Carrier reversing mechanisms A and B are respectively located on both sides of the hot pressing cavity 401. The hot pressing cavity 401 can be replaced with six, eight, or twelve stations depending on the product. This needs to be set according to different products; more stations are not necessarily better, as too many stations can easily lead to material spillage and affect product production. The carrier reversing mechanism reverses the direction of the carrier. The carrier handling robot then transports the reversed carrier to the hot pressing cavity for hot pressing. After hot pressing, the carrier handling robot transports the carrier to another carrier reversing mechanism for reversal, restoring the carrier to its original transport direction. The vehicle handling robot is mounted on the equipment frame D403 and located between the vehicle return mechanism D408 and the hot pressing cavity 401, but is not shown in the attached drawing.

[0056] The laser adhesive removal module 5 includes an equipment frame E509, a product handling robot 502, a carrier conveying mechanism E504, a carrier return mechanism E507, a cover plate return mechanism B, a carrier return and handling mechanism, a product tray 510, a laser adhesive remover 501, a cover plate handling mechanism B505, adjustable feet E506, a pneumatic triplet E508, and an electrical distribution panel E. The cover plate handling mechanism transports the cover plates on the carrier of the carrier conveying mechanism to the cover plate return mechanism B, where the cover plates are returned. Mechanism B and the carrier return mechanism E507 share the same conveyor belt, separated by a partition in the middle. After the product handling robot picks up the product from the carrier conveyor, it places it in the laser degumming machine for degumming. After degumming, the product handling robot directly places the product on the product tray. Under the action of the carrier return mechanism, the carrier enters the carrier return mechanism for return. The carrier return mechanism is located between the ends of the carrier conveyor E504 and the carrier return mechanism E507.

[0057] Equipment frames A, B, C, D, and E are fixedly connected to each other by equipment connecting plates, that is, the equipment connecting plates are fixed to the equipment connecting holes by bolts, and assembled into a complete production line.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] A modular automated production line includes a magnet assembly module, an automatic dispensing machine module, an automatic hot pressing module, and a laser adhesive removal module, arranged in the following order: Figure 2 As shown, the modules are, in order, a magnet assembly module, an automatic dispensing machine module, an automatic hot pressing module, and a laser adhesive removal module; the magnet assembly module, the automatic dispensing machine module, the automatic hot pressing module, and the laser adhesive removal module are the same as in Example 1, and can be quickly assembled into another complete production line.

[0060] Working process: The operator manually pushes the magnetic strips (multiple magnets attracted together) into the loading clip on the material platform. The number of rows of magnetic strips is determined by the trajectory of the loading clip, which is determined by different products. The suction mechanism pulls all the rows of magnetic strips to the end of the trajectory of the loading clip. The lifting mechanism pushes the magnets out from the opening of the loading clip. The pushing mechanism pushes the magnets into the trajectory below the upper clamp. The linear servo mechanism of the magnet assembly unit drives the clamp to be directly above the magnet. The lifting cylinder and the clamp drive cylinder will descend to embed the magnets into the clamp. The linear servo mechanism drives the magnets to move to the top of the carrier of the carrier conveying mechanism A. Under the action of the demolding cylinder, the magnets are embedded into the carrier.

[0061] Carrier conveyor A transports the carrier to carrier conveyor B of the automatic dispensing machine module. The carrier handling mechanism of the automatic dispensing machine module moves the carrier to the flip-up dispensing station and dispenses the glue through the XYZ axis dispensing mechanism. Then, the carrier handling mechanism places the dispensed carrier with magnets onto carrier conveyor B, which then transports it to carrier reversing mechanism A of the automatic hot press module.

[0062] The vehicle reversing mechanism A reverses the direction of the vehicle. The vehicle transport robot then transports the reversed vehicle to the hot pressing acupoint for hot pressing. After hot pressing is completed, the vehicle transport robot transports the vehicle to the vehicle reversing mechanism B for reversing, restoring the vehicle to the transport direction and entering the vehicle transport mechanism E of the laser degumming module.

[0063] After the product handling robot picks up the product from the carrier conveyor E, it places it into the laser degumming device for degumming. After degumming, the product handling robot directly places the product onto the product tray.

[0064] Under the action of the vehicle return and handling mechanism, the vehicle enters the vehicle return mechanism for return. The vehicle returns to the magnet assembly module and then enters the vehicle conveying mechanism A again under the action of the vehicle return and handling mechanism, thus realizing the vehicle cycle.
