Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of magnet assembly technology, and more specifically to an assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In actual production, magnets typically need to be assembled into the magnet slots of the product. Currently, the magnet assembly process is roughly as follows: after dispensing adhesive onto the product using a machine, the product is placed on a baking fixture, and the fixture and product are conveyed to a manual workstation via a high-speed conveyor belt. Manual laborers then assemble the magnets into the magnet slots of the product. After assembly, the product is baked and cured in an oven, thus achieving the assembly of the magnet and the product. However, this magnet assembly process results in high labor costs and high oven energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose an assembly device to reduce labor costs and oven energy consumption.

[0004] This application provides an assembly apparatus for assembling magnets onto a product, comprising:

[0005] A feeding device for supplying magnets;

[0006] A material handling device, provided corresponding to the material feeding device, is used to obtain magnets from the material feeding device;

[0007] An assembly device, corresponding to the material handling device, includes a carrying mechanism, a driving mechanism, an assembly mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The carrying mechanism is used to carry the product. The driving mechanism is located corresponding to the carrying mechanism. The assembly mechanism is connected to the driving mechanism and moves closer to or further away from the carrying mechanism under the drive of the driving mechanism. The assembly mechanism includes a power component and a receiving component. The power component is connected to the driving mechanism. The receiving component is used to receive the magnet obtained by the material handling device. The receiving component is connected to the power component and assembles the magnet onto the product under the drive of the power component. The heating mechanism is located corresponding to the carrying mechanism and is used to heat the product. The magnetic attraction between the material handling device and the magnet is less than the magnetic attraction between the assembly mechanism and the magnet.

[0008] In some embodiments, the power assembly includes a first power unit and a second power unit. The first power unit is connected to the drive mechanism. The second power unit and the receiving member are both connected to the first power unit and move along a first predetermined direction under the drive of the first power unit. The second power unit includes a pushing member that can move along a second predetermined direction. The pushing member is used to movably pass through the receiving member to push the magnet received by the receiving member against the product. Magnetic attraction can be generated between the pushing member and the magnet.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first power unit includes a connecting seat, a first stop seat, a second stop seat, an elastic element, and a driving element. The connecting seat is slidably disposed on the driving mechanism along the first predetermined direction. The second power unit and the receiving member are both connected to the connecting seat. The first stop seat and the second stop seat are both disposed on the driving mechanism and located on opposite sides of the connecting seat along the first predetermined direction. The elastic element is connected between the connecting seat and the first stop seat. The driving element is disposed on the connecting seat, and the output end of the driving element is used to extend to abut against the second stop seat, so as to drive the connecting seat to move toward the first stop seat along the first predetermined direction in the opposite direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, the receiving member is provided with a magnetic attraction element, and the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction element and the magnet is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the material picking device and the magnet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the power assembly includes a third power unit, a fourth power unit, and a fifth power unit. The third power unit is connected to the drive mechanism. The fourth power unit is connected to the third power unit and moves along a third predetermined direction under the drive of the third power unit. The fifth power unit is connected to the fourth power unit and moves along a fourth predetermined direction under the drive of the fourth power unit. The receiving member is connected to the fifth power unit and moves along a fifth predetermined direction under the drive of the fifth power unit.

[0012] In some embodiments, the supporting mechanism includes a support base, an adsorption component, a linkage component, and a pressing component. The adsorption component is disposed on the support base and is used to support and adsorb products. The linkage component is disposed on the support base and is disposed opposite to the adsorption component on the support base. The linkage component includes two connecting members that can move closer to or further away from each other in a specified direction. The number of pressing components is two and they are connected one-to-one with the two connecting members. The two pressing components move closer to or further away from each other under the drive of the linkage component. Each pressing component includes a pressing member located on the side of the adsorption component opposite to the support base and that can move closer to or further away from the adsorption component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the heating mechanism includes a drive source and a heating element. The drive source is located on one side of the support mechanism, and the heating element is connected to the drive source and moves closer to or further away from the product carried by the support mechanism under the drive of the drive source. The heating element is used to heat the product.

[0014] In some embodiments, the material handling device includes a movable material handling mechanism, which includes a base and a material handling assembly. The material handling assembly includes a material handling power source, a first material handling element, and a first magnetic attraction element. The material handling power source is connected to the base, and the first material handling element is connected to the material handling power source and moves under the drive of the material handling power source. The first material handling element has multiple first holes, and the number of first magnetic attraction elements is multiple, each corresponding to one of the multiple first holes. Each first magnetic attraction element is adjustable in depth within its corresponding first hole, and a magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first magnetic attraction element and a magnet; and / or, the material handling assembly includes a second material handling element. The system comprises a second magnetic suction component, a mounting base, a contact component, and a reset component. The second material-taking component is connected to the base and has multiple second holes. The second magnetic suction component is multiple in number and is arranged one-to-one with the multiple second holes. Each second magnetic suction component is adjustable in depth within the corresponding second hole. A magnetic attraction force can be generated between the second magnetic suction component and the magnet. The mounting base is connected to the base and is spaced apart from the second material-taking component. One end of the contact component is slidably connected to the mounting base and extends toward the second material-taking component. The reset component is sleeved on the contact component and abuts against the contact component and the mounting base.

[0015] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes a feeding mechanism, a loading mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to supply magnets. The loading mechanism is disposed corresponding to the feeding mechanism and includes a movable loading component for receiving magnets from the loading mechanism. The positioning mechanism is disposed corresponding to the loading mechanism and is used to receive and position the magnets from the loading component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a conveying component, a feeding bin, a recycling bin, a lifting component, and a recycling component. The conveying component is used to receive and convey multiple stacked trays, each tray having a magnet mounted on it. The feeding bin and the recycling bin are connected and both are positioned above the conveying component. The lifting component is used to lift multiple stacked trays from the conveying component to the feeding bin. The recycling component is connected to the feeding bin and includes a movable pressing member. The pressing member is used to press and push the trays above the recycling bin so that the trays fall into the recycling bin.

[0017] When assembling magnets onto products, the aforementioned assembly equipment places the glued product onto the support mechanism. The picking device retrieves the magnet from the feeding device and places it onto the receiving part of the assembly mechanism. Since the magnetic attraction between the picking device and the magnet is less than that between the assembly mechanism and the magnet, the magnet is transferred from the picking device to the receiving part of the assembly mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the assembly mechanism closer to the product on the support mechanism, and the power component drives the receiving part closer to the magnet slot of the product, thereby assembling the magnet onto the product. Because the magnet and the product are bonded together, the magnet can be transferred from the receiving part of the assembly mechanism to the product. After the magnet is assembled onto the product, the heating mechanism heats the product, causing the magnet and the product to solidify and connect, thus achieving the assembly of the magnet and the product.

[0018] The assembly equipment of this application embodiment achieves mechanized assembly of magnets onto products through the coordinated cooperation between the feeding device, the picking device, and the assembly device, which can replace manual assembly of magnets and help reduce labor costs; the heating mechanism heats the product to solidify the connection between the magnet and the product, saving oven space and helping to reduce oven energy consumption.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, it should be noted that "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0156] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between the two components; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0157] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0158] Please see Figure 1 This application provides an assembly apparatus 100. The assembly apparatus 100 is used to assemble magnets 200 (see [link to application]). Figure 5 As shown, magnet 200 is assembled into product 300, specifically into magnet slot 301 of product 300 (see [reference]). Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the magnet groove 301 can be understood as a groove structure set on the inner side of the edge of the product 300.

[0159] The assembly equipment 100 includes a feeding device 10, a picking device 20, and an assembly device 30. Understandably, the assembly equipment 100 also includes an assembly platform 40, on which the feeding device 10, the picking device 20, and the assembly device 30 are all mounted, thereby enabling the assembly equipment 100 to be modularly configured.

[0160] A feeding device 10 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is used to supply magnets 200. A picking device 20 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is positioned corresponding to the feeding device 10. The picking device 20 is used to pick up magnets 200 from the feeding device 10. An assembly device 30 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is positioned corresponding to the picking device 20. The assembly device 30 includes a carrying mechanism 31, a driving mechanism 32, an assembly mechanism 33, and a heating mechanism 34. The carrying mechanism 31 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is used to carry the product 300. The driving mechanism 32 is positioned corresponding to the carrying mechanism 31. The assembly mechanism 33 is connected to the driving mechanism 32 and moves closer to or further away from the carrying mechanism 31 under the drive of the driving mechanism 32. The assembly mechanism 33 includes a power component 33a (see [link to power component]). Figure 8 (as shown) and connector 33b (see also) Figure 8As shown, the power assembly 33a is connected to the drive mechanism 32, the receiving part 33b is used to receive the magnet 200 obtained by the picking device 20, the receiving part 33b is connected to the power assembly 33a and, driven by the power assembly 33a, assembles the magnet 200 onto the product 300, the heating mechanism 34 is provided corresponding to the carrying mechanism 31 and is used to heat the product 300, wherein the magnetic attraction between the picking device 20 and the magnet 200 is less than the magnetic attraction between the assembly mechanism 33 and the magnet 200, so that the magnet 200 can be transferred from the picking device 20 to the assembly mechanism 33.

[0161] When assembling the magnet 200 onto the product 300, the assembly equipment 100 places the glued product 300 onto the support mechanism 31, for example, by using an external robotic arm. The picking device 20 retrieves the magnet 200 from the feeding device 10 and places it onto the receiving member 33b of the assembly mechanism 33. Since the magnetic attraction between the picking device 20 and the magnet 200 is less than the magnetic attraction between the assembly mechanism 33 and the magnet 200, the magnet 200 can be transferred from the picking device 20 to the receiving member 33b of the assembly mechanism 33. When the magnet 200 is placed on the receiving member 33b, the drive mechanism 32 drives the assembly mechanism 33 closer to the product 300 on the support mechanism 31, and the power component 33a drives the receiving member 33b closer to the magnet slot 301 of the product 300, thereby assembling the magnet 200. The magnet 200 is attached to product 300. Since the magnet 200 is glued to product 300, the magnet 200 can be transferred from the receiving part 33b of the assembly mechanism 33 to product 300. After the magnet 200 is assembled to product 300, the heating mechanism 34 heats product 300, for example, to 80°C and holds it for a preset time, for example, 60 seconds. By heating product 300, the magnet 200 and product 300 are solidified and connected, realizing the assembly of magnet 200 and product 300. After the magnet 200 and product 300 are solidified and connected, the power component 33a drives the receiving part 33b away from product 300 and resets it. The drive mechanism 32 drives the assembly mechanism 33 away from product 300 on the bearing mechanism 31 and resets it. The solidified and connected product 300 and magnet 200 are removed by an external robot arm so that the magnet 200 can be assembled to product 300.

[0162] Understandably, the receiving component 33b may be provided with a magnetic attraction element that can generate a magnetic attraction force with the magnet 200, and the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction element and the magnet 200 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the picking device 20 and the magnet 200, thereby making the magnetic attraction force between the picking device 20 and the magnet 200 less than the magnetic attraction force between the assembly mechanism 33 and the magnet 200.

[0163] To improve the assembly efficiency of the assembly equipment 100, in this embodiment, the number of assembly devices 30 is set to three, which are spaced apart on the assembly platform 40. When one assembly device 30 cooperates with the material handling device 20 to assemble the magnet 200 onto the product 300 and heats the product 300 using the heating mechanism 34, while one assembly device 30 is heating the product 300, another assembly device 30 can cooperate with the material handling device 20 to assemble the magnet 200 onto the product 300 and heat the product 300 using the heating mechanism 34. During the heating process of product 300, the last assembly device 30 can cooperate with the material handling device 20 to assemble magnet 200 onto product 300 and heat product 300 through heating mechanism 34. During the heating process of product 300 by the last assembly device 30, one of the assembly devices 30 completes the heating of product 300. This assembly device 30 can then cooperate with the material handling device 20 again to assemble magnet 200 onto product 300 and heat product 300 through heating mechanism 34. This cycle is repeated to improve the assembly efficiency of assembly equipment 100.

[0164] Understandably, in other embodiments, the number of assembly devices 30 can be set to more or fewer, depending on the actual situation. For example, the assembly device 30 and the material handling device 20 work together to assemble the magnet 200 onto the product 300 for approximately M seconds, and the heating mechanism 34 heats the product 300 for approximately N seconds. Based on the ratio P of N to M, the number Q of assembly devices 30 can be determined. If P is an integer, Q is P or P plus 1; if P is not an integer, Q is the integer part of P rounded up or the integer part of P rounded up plus 1. For example, if M is 30 and N is 60, then P is 2 and Q is 2 or 3; if M is 30 and N is 75, then P is 2.5 and Q is 3 or 4; if M is 30 and N is 90, then P is 3 and Q is 3 or 4. Understandably, the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

[0165] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the feeding device 10 supplies three types of magnets 200. For ease of understanding and explanation, the three types of magnets 200 are defined as a first magnet 201, a second magnet 202, and a third magnet 203. The feeding device 10 supplies five magnets 200 at a time: two first magnets 201, one second magnet 202, and two third magnets 203. The product 300 has five magnet slots 301, which correspond to and are adapted to the first magnet 201, the second magnet 202, and the third magnet 203, respectively. Please refer to the relevant documentation for further details. Figure 5The material handling device 20 can pick up five magnets 200 from the material feeding device 10 each time. For further details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The assembly mechanism 33 includes three types of power components 33a and three types of receiving components 33b. For ease of understanding and explanation, in this embodiment, the three types of power components 33a are defined as the first power component 33a1, the second power component 33a2, and the third power component 33a3, and the three types of receiving components 33b are defined as the first receiving component 33b1, the second receiving component 33b2, and the third receiving component 33b3. The first power component 33a1 and the first receiving component 33b1 cooperate to assemble the first magnet 201. The assembly mechanism 33, mounted on product 300, comprises two first power components 33a1, one second power component 33a2, and two third power components 33a2, as well as two first receiving components 33b1, one second receiving component 33b2, and two third receiving components 33b3. Understandably, during actual assembly, the two first magnets 201 and one second magnet 202 are assembled onto product 300 in three stages, while the two third magnets 203 are assembled onto product 300 in one stage. In other words, the assembly device 30 assembles the two first magnets 201, one second magnet 202, and two third magnets 203 onto product 300 in four stages.

[0166] Understandably, depending on the number and type of magnet slots 301 on the product 300, the feeding device 10 can supply magnets 200 of different types and quantities. The picking device 20 picks up the corresponding number of magnets 200 each time. The assembly mechanism 33 includes power components 33a and receiving components 33b of different types and quantities. For example, the feeding device 10 may supply one first magnet 201 at a time, and the picking device 20 may pick up one first magnet 201 from the feeding device 10 at a time. The assembly mechanism 33 includes a first power component 33a1 and a first receiving component 33b1. Alternatively, the feeding device 10 may supply two second magnets 202 at a time, and the picking device 20 may pick up two second magnets 202 from the feeding device 10 at a time. The assembly mechanism 33 includes two second power components 33a2 and two second receiving components 33b2. Alternatively, the feeding device 10 may supply one first magnet 201 and one third magnet 203 at a time, and the picking device 20 may pick up one first magnet 201 and one third magnet 203 from the feeding device 10 at a time. The assembly mechanism 33 includes a first power component 33a1, a first receiving component 33b1, a third power component 33a3, and a third receiving component 33b3. It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

[0167] The following describes this embodiment in detail using the following example: the feeding device 10 supplies two first magnets 201, one second magnet 202, and two third magnets 203 each time; the picking device 20 picks up two first magnets 201, one second magnet 202, and two third magnets 203 each time from the feeding device 10; and the assembly mechanism 33 uses two first power components 33a1 and two first receiving parts 33b1, one second power component 33a2 and one second receiving part 33b2, and two third power components 33a3 and two third receiving parts 33b3. It should be understood that this is not a limitation of this application.

[0168] In this embodiment, the feeding device 10 includes a feeding mechanism 11, a loading mechanism 12, and a positioning mechanism 13. The feeding mechanism 11 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is used to supply magnets 200, specifically supplying three types of magnets 200. The loading mechanism 12 is disposed on the assembly platform 40 and is disposed corresponding to the feeding mechanism 11. The loading mechanism 12 includes a movable loading component 121, which is used to obtain magnets 200 from the loading mechanism 12. The positioning mechanism 13 is disposed corresponding to the loading mechanism 12 and is specifically connected to the feeding mechanism 11. The positioning mechanism 13 is used to receive and position the magnets 200 on the loading component 121 so that the picking device 20 can accurately obtain magnets 200 from the positioning mechanism 13. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the feeding device 10, the feeding mechanism 11 can continuously supply magnets 200. The feeding component 121 of the loading mechanism 12 obtains magnets 200 from the feeding mechanism 11 and places magnets 200 at the positioning mechanism 13. The positioning mechanism 13 receives and positions magnets 200 so that the picking device 20 can accurately obtain magnets 200 from the positioning mechanism 13. This enables the feeding mechanism 11 to supply magnets 200, and the position of the supplied magnets 200 is accurate, which is beneficial to improving the supply accuracy of magnets 200.

[0169] Understandably, the positioning mechanism 13 can also be directly mounted on the assembly platform 40.

[0170] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 11 includes a transmission component 111, a feeding bin 112, a recovery bin 113, a lifting component 114, and a recovery component 115. The transmission component 111 is used to receive and transmit multiple stacked trays 400, each tray 400 housing a magnet 200. The feeding bin 112 and the recovery bin 113 are connected and both are located above the transmission component 111. The lifting component 114 is used to lift multiple stacked trays 400 from the transmission component 111 to the feeding bin 112. The recovery component 115 is connected to the feeding bin 112 and includes a movable pressing member 1151. The pressing member 1151 is used to press and push the trays 400 above the recovery bin 113 so that the trays 400 fall into the recovery bin 113. The part of the pressing member 1151 that abuts the workpiece is approximately L-shaped. The feeding bin 112 and the recovery bin 113 can share a common bin wall.

[0171] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 11 further includes two first side plates 116 and two second side plates 117. The two first side plates 116 and two second side plates 117 surround the transmission component 111, the lifting component 114, and the feeding bin 112 and the recycling bin 113 connected together, so that the feeding bin 112 is a bin with open ends and the recycling bin 113 is a bin with open top. The transmission component 111 can be a conveyor. In order to facilitate the placement of the material tray 400 on the transmission component 111, the height of one first side plate 116 is less than the height of the other first side plate 116, and the first side plate 116 is detachably connected to the recycling bin 113 and the two second side plates 117. The recycling component 115 is disposed on one of the second side plates 117, and the positioning mechanism 13 is connected to the other first side plate 116. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the feeding mechanism 11, the transmission component 111 receives and transmits multiple stacked trays 400. When the transmission component 111 transmits the multiple stacked trays 400 to the top of the lifting component 114, the lifting component 114 pushes against the multiple stacked trays 400 and moves upward until the uppermost tray 400 of the multiple stacked trays 400 is located at the top of the feeding bin 112. When the picking device 20 picks up the magnetic material from the uppermost tray 400... After the iron 200 is removed, the pressing and pushing component 1151 of the recycling component 115 presses against and pushes the currently topmost empty tray 400 above the recycling bin 113 until the currently topmost empty tray 400 is directly above the recycling bin 113, so that the empty tray 400 falls into the recycling bin 113. At the same time, the lifting component 114 continues to lift multiple stacked trays 400, and this cycle repeats, so that the feeding mechanism 11 can supply magnets 200 and recycle trays 400. When it is necessary to remove the recycled tray 400, it is removed by disassembling one of the first side plates 116.

[0172] To ensure the accuracy of the movement of the pressing component 1151 against the empty material tray 400, the feeding mechanism 11 also includes two limiting strips 118. The two limiting strips 118 are connected to the two second side plates 117 respectively and are located above the feeding bin 112 and the recovery bin 113. When the pressing component 1151 moves against the empty material tray 400, the empty material tray 400 moves along the two limiting strips 118, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pressing component 1151 when moving against the empty material tray 400.

[0173] In this embodiment, three different types of magnets 200 are supported by two types of trays 400. Correspondingly, the feeding mechanism 11, consisting of the transfer assembly 111, feeding bin 112, recycling bin 113, lifting assembly 114, recycling assembly 115, first side plate 116, second side plate 117, and limiting strip 118, is divided into two sets. The adjacent first side plate 116 and limiting strip 118 of the two sets of feeding mechanisms 11 are shared to save costs. For example, one set of feeding mechanisms 11 supplies the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202, while the other set supplies the third magnet 203; or, one set of feeding mechanisms 11 supplies the first magnet 201, while the other set supplies the second magnet 202 and the third magnet 203. It is understood that in other embodiments, the three different types of magnets 200 may also be supported by one type of tray 400, and correspondingly, the feeding mechanism 11 may be a single set. Alternatively, the three different types of magnets 200 can be supported by three different trays 400, and correspondingly, the feeding mechanism 11 can be three sets. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0174] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 114 includes a lifting power module 1141 and a lifting seat 1142. The lifting power module 1141 can be a linear module, which is mounted on another first side plate 116. The lifting seat 1142 is slidably mounted on the other first side plate 116 via a slide rail slider structure. The lifting seat 1142 is connected to the lifting power module 1141, and the lifting power module 1141 drives the lifting seat 1142 to move linearly to abut against multiple stacked trays 400. It is understood that in other embodiments, the lifting power module 1141 can also be a linear cylinder or other functional mechanism capable of driving the lifting seat 1142 to move linearly.

[0175] In this embodiment, the recycling component 115 further includes a recycling power module 1152, which can be a linear cylinder. The recycling power module 1152 is disposed on the second side plate 117. The pressing member 1151 is connected to the recycling power module 1152, and the recycling power module 1152 is used to drive the pressing member 1151 to move linearly, so that the pressing member 1151 presses against and pushes the empty material tray 400 to move. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the recycling power module 1152 can also be a linear module or other functional mechanism capable of driving the pressing member 1151 to move linearly.

[0176] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 12 further includes a gantry frame 122, a first feeding power module 123, a module base 124, and a second feeding power module 125. There are two gantry frames 122, spaced apart on the assembly platform 40 and located on opposite sides of the feeding mechanism 11 and the positioning mechanism 13. The first feeding power module 123 can be a linear module, mounted on one of the gantry frames 122. One end of the module base 124 is connected to the first feeding power module 123. The other end of the mounting base 124 is slidably connected to another gantry frame 122 via a slide rail slider structure. The second feeding power module 125 can be a linear module, connected to the module base 124. The feeding component 121 is connected to the second feeding power module 125. There can be two feeding components 121, spaced apart on the second feeding power module 125. Each feeding component 121 can be a gripper, capable of moving, rotating, and gripping the magnets 200 towards the feeding mechanism 11. Thus, by configuring the specific structure of the feeding mechanism 12, the feeding component 121, in cooperation with the first feeding power module 123 and the second feeding power module 125, can transfer the magnets 200 supplied by the feeding mechanism 11 to the positioning mechanism 13. Furthermore, by using two feeding components 121, the feeding mechanism 12 requires three loading and unloading operations to transfer five magnets 200.

[0177] Understandably, in other embodiments, the gantry 122, the first loading power module 123, the module base 124 and the second loading power module 125 of the loading mechanism 12 can be replaced by a robotic arm or other functional mechanism capable of moving the loading component 121.

[0178] Understandably, in other embodiments, more or fewer feeding components 121 may be provided. For example, by providing one feeding component 121, the feeding mechanism 12 needs five loading and unloading operations to transfer five magnets 200; or by providing three feeding components 121, the feeding mechanism 12 needs two loading and unloading operations to transfer five magnets 200. Understandably, when the type and quantity of magnets 200 supplied by the feeding device 10 are more or less, more or fewer feeding components 121 may be provided adaptively. The specific setting can be determined according to the actual situation, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0179] In this embodiment, there are five positioning mechanisms 13, which are used to position five magnets 200. The structures of the five positioning mechanisms 13 are roughly similar. Specifically, each positioning mechanism 13 generally includes a positioning seat 131, a module plate 132, a support plate 133, a positioning plate 134, a four-jaw cylinder 135, and positioning grippers 136. The positioning seat 131 is connected to another first side plate 116. The positioning seats 131 of the five positioning mechanisms 13 can be connected together or share a single positioning seat 131. The module plate 132 is disposed on the positioning seat 131. There are two support plates 133, which are spaced apart from each other on the module plate 132. Above the module plate 132, a positioning plate 134 is positioned above the module plate 132 and connected to one end of two support plates 133 facing away from the module plate 132. A four-jaw cylinder 135 is positioned on the module plate 132 and between the module plate 132 and the positioning plate 134. Four positioning fingers 136 are arranged in pairs opposite each other and slidably on the positioning plate 134. Each of the four positioning fingers 136 is connected to the four-jaw cylinder 135. The size of the positioning plate 134 can be adapted to the type of magnet 200. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the positioning mechanism 13, the feeding mechanism 12 places the magnet 200 on the positioning plate 134 and between the four positioning fingers 136. The four-jaw cylinder 135 drives the four positioning fingers 136 to move closer to each other so that the four positioning fingers 136 clamp the magnet 200, thereby positioning the magnet 200. Furthermore, by setting up the aforementioned module plate 132, each positioning mechanism 13 is roughly modularized. When the assembly equipment 100 needs to assemble different types of magnets 200, the corresponding positioning mechanism 13 can be replaced, thereby improving the versatility of the assembly equipment 100.

[0180] Please refer to the above. Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the material picking device 20 includes a movable material picking mechanism 21. Specifically, the material picking device 20 may also include a robotic arm connected to the material picking mechanism 21. The robotic arm is used to drive the material picking mechanism 21 to move so that the material picking mechanism 21 can pick up the magnet 200 from the positioning mechanism 13 of the feeding device 10 and place the magnet 200 in the receiving part 33b of the assembly mechanism 33.

[0181] The material handling mechanism 21 includes a base 211 and a material handling component 212, with the base 211 connected to the robotic arm.

[0182] The material handling assembly 212 includes a material handling power source 2120, a first material handling component 2121, and a first magnetic suction component 2123. The material handling power source 2120 is connected to the base 211. The first material handling component 2121 is connected to the material handling power source 2120 and moves under the drive of the material handling power source 2120. The material handling power source 2120 can be a cylinder. The first material handling component 2121 has multiple first holes 2122. The number of first magnetic suction components 2123 is multiple and they are arranged one-to-one with the multiple first holes 2122. Each first magnetic suction component 2123 is adjustable in depth within the corresponding first hole 2122. A magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first magnetic suction component 2123 and the magnet 200. The first material handling component 2121 can be stainless steel, plastic, or other objects that do not generate a magnetic attraction force with the magnet 200. The first magnetic suction component 2123 can be a magnet 200 stone, iron, or other objects that can generate a magnetic attraction force with the magnet 200. Thus, by setting up the aforementioned material-picking power source 2120, first material-picking component 2121, and first magnetic suction component 2123, the magnet 200 is placed on the first material-picking component 2121 by the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic suction component 2123, so that the material-picking assembly 212 can acquire the magnet 200. By adjusting the depth of the first magnetic suction component 2123 in the first hole 2122, the distance between the first magnetic suction component 2123 and the magnet 200 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic suction component 2123 and the magnet 200.

[0183] In this embodiment, the material-picking power source 2120, the first material-picking component 2121, and the first magnetic suction component 2123 cooperate to acquire the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202. There are three sets of each of these components, enabling the material-picking mechanism 21 to acquire two first magnets 201 and one second magnet 202. Specifically, when the material-picking mechanism 21 transfers the first magnet 201 and the second magnet 202 to the receiving component 33b, the material-picking power source 2120 drives the first material-picking component 2121 and either the first magnet 201 or the second magnet 202 to approach the corresponding receiving component 33b, thereby transferring either the first magnet 201 or the second magnet 202 to the corresponding receiving component 33b.

[0184] The material handling assembly 212 also includes a second material handling component 2124, a second magnetic component 2126, a mounting base 2127, an abutment component 2128, and a reset component 2129. The second material handling component 2124 is connected to the base 211 and has multiple second holes 2125. The second magnetic component 2126 is also multiple and is arranged one-to-one with the multiple second holes 2125. Each second magnetic component 2126 is adjustable in depth within the corresponding second hole 2125, and an attraction is generated between the second magnetic component 2126 and the magnetic attraction. The mounting base 2127 is connected to the base 211 and spaced apart from the second material-taking member 2124. One end of the abutment member 2128 is slidably connected to the mounting base 2127, and the other end of the abutment member 2128 extends toward the second material-taking member 2124. The reset member 2129 can be a spring, which is sleeved on the abutment member 2128 and abuts against the abutment member 2128 and the mounting base 2127. The abutment member 2128 is approximately a T-shaped cylinder, with the larger diameter end of the abutment member 2128 facing the second material-taking member 2124. The second material-taking member 2124 can be made of stainless steel, plastic, or other objects that do not generate magnetic attraction with the magnet 200. The second magnetic attractor 2126 can be a magnet 200, iron, or other objects that can generate magnetic attraction with the magnet 200. Thus, by setting the second picking member 2124 and the second magnetic suction member 2126 as described above, the magnet 200 is placed on the second picking member 2124 by the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic suction member 2126, so that the picking assembly 212 can pick up the magnet 200. By adjusting the depth of the second magnetic suction member 2126 in the second hole 2125, the distance between the second magnetic suction member 2126 and the magnet 200 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic suction member 2126 and the magnet. By setting up the mounting base 2127, the abutment 2128, and the reset member 2129, when the picking component 212 transfers the magnet 200 to the receiving component 33b and the magnet 200 is already placed on the receiving component 33b, the robotic arm drives the picking mechanism 21 to move as a whole. Through the coordinated cooperation of the abutment 2128 and the reset member 2129, the abutment 2128 elastically pushes the magnet 200 on the receiving component 33b to adjust the position of the magnet 200 on the receiving component 33b.

[0185] In this embodiment, the second picking member 2124, the second magnetic suction member 2126, the mounting base 2127, the abutment member 2128, and the reset member 2129 cooperate to acquire the third magnet 203. There are two sets of the second picking member 2124, the second magnetic suction member 2126, the mounting base 2127, the abutment member 2128, and the reset member 2129, so that the picking mechanism 21 can acquire two third magnets 203.

[0186] Understandably, by setting up the aforementioned material picking power source 2120, first material picking component 2121, first magnetic suction component 2123, second material picking component 2124, second magnetic suction component 2126, mounting base 2127, abutment component 2128 and reset component 2129, the material picking mechanism 21 is able to acquire the first magnet 201, the second magnet 202 and the third magnet 203. Understandably, when the type or quantity of magnets 200 supplied by the supply device is more or less, the components in the picking mechanism 21 can be adaptively configured. For example, when the supply device supplies two first magnets 201 and one second magnet 202, the picking mechanism 21 may include three sets of picking power sources 2120, three sets of first picking components 2121, and three sets of first magnetic suction components 2123; or, when the supply device supplies two first magnets 201 and two second magnets 202, the picking mechanism 21 may include two sets of picking power sources 2120, two sets of first picking components 2121, two sets of first magnetic suction components 2123, two sets of second picking components 2124, two sets of second magnetic suction components 2126, two sets of mounting bases 2127, two sets of abutment components 2128, and two sets of reset components 2129. Understandably, the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

[0187] In this embodiment, the base 211 includes a connecting rod 2111, a first plate 2112, a second plate 2113, a third plate 2114, and a protruding plate 2115. One end of the connecting rod 2111 is connected to the robotic arm, and the other end of the drive plate 326 is connected to the first plate 2112. The second plate 2113 is disposed opposite to the first plate 2112. There are two third plates 2114, which are spaced apart and connected between the first plate 2112 and the second plate 2113. There are two protruding plates 2115, which are spaced apart on the side of the second plate 2113 away from the first plate 2112. The material handling power source 2120 is disposed on the side of the first plate 2112 facing the second plate 2113 and located between the first plate 2112 and the second plate 2113. The second material handling component 2124 and the mounting base 2127 are spaced apart on the protruding plate 2115. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the base 211, the material handling component 212 is installed.

[0188] Please refer to the above. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 31 includes a supporting base 311, an adsorption component 312, a linkage component 313, and a pressing component 314. The supporting base 311 is disposed on the assembly platform 40. The adsorption component 312 is disposed on the supporting base 311 and is used to support and adsorb the product 300. The linkage component 313 is disposed on the supporting base 311 and is disposed opposite to the adsorption component 312 on the supporting base 311. The linkage component 313 includes two connecting members 3131 that can move closer to or further away from each other in a specified direction, wherein the specified direction can be understood as the length direction of the product 300. The number of pressing components 314 can be two and they are connected one-to-one with the two connecting members 3131. The two pressing components 314 move closer to or further away from each other under the drive of the linkage component 313. Each pressing component 314 includes a pressing member 3141 located on the side of the adsorption component 312 away from the supporting base 311 and that can move closer to or further away from the adsorption component 312. Thus, when the product 300 is placed on the carrying mechanism 31 by the external robotic arm, the linkage component 313 drives the two clamping components 314 to move away from each other, so that the external robotic arm can place the product 300 on the adsorption component 312. When the external robotic arm places the product 300 on the adsorption component 312, the adsorption component 312 adsorbs the product 300. At the same time, the linkage component 313 drives the two clamping components 314 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping part 3141 of each clamping component 314 is located above the product 300. The clamping part 3141 moves toward the product 300 to further press the product 300 onto the adsorption component 312, thereby enabling the carrying mechanism 31 to carry and fix the product 300.

[0189] In this embodiment, the support base 311 includes a base 3111, a top seat 3112, and support rods 3113. The base 3111 is disposed on the assembly platform 40, the top seat 3112 is disposed above the base 3111, and there are four support rods 3113, all of which are connected between the base 3111 and the top seat 3112. It is understood that the number of support rods 3113 can be more or less. The adsorption component 312 is disposed on the side of the top seat 3112 facing away from the base 3111, the linkage component 313 is disposed on the side of the top seat 3112 facing the base 3111, and the pressing component 314 slides through the top seat 3112. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the support base 311, the support base 311 enables the installation of the adsorption component 312, the linkage component 313, and the pressing component 314.

[0190] In this embodiment, the adsorption assembly 312 includes an adsorption plate 3121, suction nozzles 3122, and connectors 3123. The adsorption plate 3121 is disposed on the side of the top seat 3112 of the support base 311 away from the base 3111. Multiple suction nozzles 3122 are embedded in the adsorption plate 3121. The adsorption plate 3121 has channels that communicate with all the suction nozzles 3122. The connectors 3123 are disposed on the side of the adsorption plate 3121 and communicate with these channels. The connectors 3123 also communicate with an external negative pressure device. Under the negative pressure of the external negative pressure device, the connectors 3123, the channels, and the multiple suction nozzles 3122 all generate negative pressure, thereby adsorbing the product 300 onto the adsorption plate 3121 under the action of negative pressure. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the adsorption assembly 312, the adsorption assembly 312 can support and adsorb the product 300.

[0191] In this embodiment, the linkage assembly 313 further includes a linkage plate 3132, a linkage cylinder 3133, a linkage component 3134, a linkage rod 3135, and a stop component 3136. The linkage plate 3132 is connected to the side of the top seat 3112 facing the base 3111. The linkage plate 3132 is approximately cross-shaped. The linkage cylinder 3133 is located at one end of the linkage plate 3132. The linkage component 3134 is slidably connected to the linkage plate 3132 via a slide rail slider structure, and the linkage component 3134 and the linkage cylinder 3133 are elastically driven together by a spring. The number of linkage rods 3135 is... Two connecting parts 3131 are provided, each corresponding to one of the two connecting parts 3131. The two connecting parts 3131 are slidably mounted on both ends of the linkage plate 3132 via a slide rail slider structure. One end of each linkage rod 3135 is rotatably connected to the linkage part 3134, and the other end of each linkage rod 3135 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting part 3131. The end of the connecting part 3131 facing away from the linkage rod 3135 is connected to the clamping assembly 314. Two stop parts 3136 are provided, spaced apart at one end of the linkage plate 3132 and opposite to the linkage cylinder 3133. The linkage cylinder 3133 elastically drives the linkage part 3134 to slide, the linkage part 3134 drives the linkage rod 3135 to move, the linkage rod 3135 drives the corresponding connecting part 3131 to move, thereby causing the connecting part 3131 to drive the clamping assembly 314 to move. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the linkage component 313, the linkage component 313 can drive the two pressing components 314 to move closer or further apart. In addition, the stop component 3136 can limit the linkage component 3134 to ensure the movement accuracy of the linkage component 313.

[0192] In this embodiment, each pressing assembly 314 further includes a pressing cylinder 3142. The pressing cylinder 3142 is connected to the corresponding connecting member 3131 and slides through the top seat 3112. The pressing member 3141 is connected to the pressing cylinder 3142 and moves linearly under the drive of the pressing cylinder 3142. Thus, by setting the pressing cylinder 3142, the pressing member 3141 can move closer to or further away from the product 300. In addition, each pressing assembly 314 may also include a pressing spring 3143. The pressing spring 3143 is connected to the side of the corresponding pressing member 3141 facing the adsorption assembly 312. The pressing member 3141 elastically presses the product 300 through the pressing spring.

[0193] Understandably, in this embodiment, the number of clamping components 314 can also be four, with two clamping components 314 respectively connected to the two connecting pieces 3131, and the other two clamping components 314 disposed at the two corners of the top seat 3112 and corresponding to the two corners of the product 300. Thus, by limiting the number and placement of the clamping components 314, the product 300 is stably clamped by the four clamping components 314, preventing the product 300 from moving on the adsorption component 312, which helps improve the assembly accuracy of the magnet 200 and the product 300.

[0194] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 32 may include a bracket 321, a first drive power module 322, a slide block 323, a second drive power module 324, a drive seat 325, and a drive plate 326. There are two brackets 321, which are spaced apart on the base 3111. It can be understood that the two brackets 321 may also be spaced apart on the assembly platform 40. The first drive power module 322 may be a linear module and is mounted on one of the brackets 321. One end of the slide block 323 is connected to the first drive power module 322, and the other end of the slide block 323 is slidably connected to the other bracket 321 through a slide rail slider structure. The second drive power module 324 may be a linear module and is connected to the slide block 323. The drive seat 325 is approximately U-shaped and is connected to the second drive power module 324. The drive plate 326 is connected to the drive seat 325, and the assembly mechanism 33 is connected to the drive plate 326. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the drive mechanism 32, the drive mechanism 32 can drive the assembly mechanism 33 to approach or move away from the support mechanism 31 and can avoid the product 300 when the external robot places it on the support mechanism 31. The drive base 325 and the drive plate 326 can be integrally molded. Furthermore, by spaced two brackets 321 on the base 3111, the assembly device 30 can be modularly configured, allowing for the replacement of different assembly devices 30 according to different assembly needs, thus improving the versatility of the assembly equipment 100.

[0195] Please refer to the above. Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the structures of the first power assembly 33a1 and the second power assembly 33a2 are generally similar, and the structures of the first receiving member 33b1 and the second receiving member 33b2 are also generally similar. This embodiment uses the first power assembly 33a1 and the first receiving member 33b1 as examples for detailed explanation. For ease of understanding and explanation, the first predetermined direction and the third predetermined direction are defined in this application embodiment as follows: Figure 9 The X-axis direction shown is approximately as follows: Figure 9 The P-axis direction shown in the figure, the fourth predetermined direction is approximately as follows: Figure 9 The Z-axis direction shown is approximately as follows: Figure 9 The Y-axis direction shown is obviously not a limitation on the embodiments of this application.

[0196] The first power assembly 33a1 includes a first power unit 331 and a second power unit 332. The first power unit 331 is connected to the drive plate 326 of the drive mechanism 32. The second power unit 332 and the first receiving member 33b1 are both connected to the first power unit 331 and move along a first predetermined direction under the drive of the first power unit 331. The second power unit 332 includes a pushing member 3321 (which can also be understood as a magnetic attraction element disposed in the receiving member 33b) that can move along a second predetermined direction. The pushing member 3321 is used to movably pass through the first receiving member 33b1 to push the first magnet 201 held by the first receiving member 33b1 to the product 300. A magnetic attraction force can be generated between the pushing member 3321 and the first magnet 201. The number of pushing members 3321 can be multiple. Two first power components 33a1 and one second power component 33a2 are spaced apart on the drive plate 326 of the drive mechanism 32, with the second power component 33a2 located between the two first power components 33a1. Thus, by configuring the specific structure of the first power components 33a1 (and the second power component 33a2), when the drive mechanism 32 drives the assembly mechanism 33 to approach the product 300, the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) is adjacent to the magnet slot 301 of the product 300. The pushing member 3321 of the second power unit 332 movably passes through the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) to push the first magnet 201 (and the second magnet 202) held by the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) into the magnet slot 301 of the product 300. When the first magnet 201 (and the second magnet 202) is pushed into the magnet groove 301 of the product 300, the first magnet 201 (and the second magnet 202) is separated from the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) but is still magnetically attracted to the pushing member 3321. The first power unit 331 drives the second power unit 332 and the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) to move along the first predetermined direction, so that the first magnet 201 (and) the second magnet 202 abut against the groove wall of the magnet groove 301, thereby realizing the assembly of the first magnet 201 (and the second magnet 202).

[0197] In this embodiment, the first power unit 331 includes a connecting seat 3311, a first stop seat 3312, a second stop seat 3313, an elastic element 3314, and a driving element 3315. The connecting seat 3311 is slidably disposed on the driving mechanism 32 along a first predetermined direction. Specifically, the connecting seat 3311 is slidably disposed on the driving plate 326 of the driving mechanism 32 along the first predetermined direction via a slide rail slider structure. The connecting seat 3311 is approximately an obtuse angle bent structure. The second power unit 332 and the receiving element 33b are both connected to the connecting seat 3311 and located below the connecting seat 3311. The first stop seat 3312 and the second stop seat 3313 are both disposed on the driving plate 326 of the driving mechanism 32. Plate 326 is located on opposite sides of connecting seat 3311 along a first predetermined direction. Elastic member 3314 can be a spring. Elastic member 3314 is connected between connecting seat 3311 and first stop seat 3312. A rod-shaped object can also be provided between connecting seat 3311 and first stop seat 3312. The moving direction of connecting seat 3311 is guided and limited by the rod-shaped object. Driving member 3315 is provided on connecting seat 3311 and the output end of driving member 3315 is used to extend to abut against second stop seat 3313, so as to drive connecting seat 3311 to move towards first stop seat 3312 along the first predetermined direction. Driving member 3315 can be a thumb cylinder. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the first power unit 331, when the drive mechanism 32 drives the assembly mechanism 33 to approach the product 300, the output end of the drive member 3315 extends to abut against the second stop seat 3313, thereby driving the connecting seat 3311 to move towards the first stop seat 3312 in the first predetermined direction and compressing the elastic member 3314. When the magnet 200 is assembled into the magnet slot 301 of the product 300, the output end of the drive mechanism 32 retracts, and the elastic member 3314 releases its elastic force to drive the connecting seat 3311, the second power unit 332, and the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) to move towards the second stop seat 3313, thereby causing the magnet 200 to abut against the slot wall of the magnet slot 301.

[0198] Understandably, in order to make the assembly mechanism 33 more compact, in this embodiment, the second power component 33a2 and one of the first power components 33a1 share a connecting seat 3311, a first stop seat 3312, a second stop seat 3313, a driving member 3315, and a set of elastic members 3314. The other first power component 33a1 is symmetrically arranged with one of the first power components 33a1, that is, the two are close to or far from each other along the first predetermined direction. The other first power component 33a1 and the combination of the second power component 33a2 and one of the first power components 33a1 share a second stop seat 3313. In this way, the structure of the assembly mechanism 33 is made more compact.

[0199] In this embodiment, the second power unit 332 further includes a pushing force member 3322, a pushing slide member 3323, and a pushing seat 3324. The pushing force member 3322 is connected to the connecting seat 3311. The pushing slide member 3323 is slidably disposed on the connecting seat 3311 through a slide rail slider structure. The pushing slide member 3323 and the pushing force member 3322 are connected by a spring elastic drive. One end of the pushing slide member 3323 away from the pushing force member 3322 is connected to the pushing seat 3324. There are multiple pushing members 3321, and the multiple pushing members 3321 are spaced apart on the pushing seat 3324. Thus, the pushing force member 3322 is used to drive the pushing slide member 3323 to move along the second predetermined direction. The pushing slide member 3323 drives the pushing seat 3324 and multiple pushing members 3321 to move along the second predetermined direction, so that the multiple pushing members 3321 pass through the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) and push the magnet 200 out or out of the receiving groove 336, thereby realizing the function of driving the pushing member 3321 to move and pushing the magnet 200.

[0200] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 336 is provided on the side of the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) opposite to the second power unit 332. The receiving groove 336 is used to accommodate the magnet 200. The pushing member 3321 is used to movably pass through the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) to extend into the receiving groove 336 and push the magnet 200 to the product 300. The receiving groove 336 of the first receiving member 33b1 (and the second receiving member 33b2) is a groove structure with four groove walls and a groove bottom.

[0201] Understandably, when the material handling power source 2120 and the first material handling component 2121 of the material handling device 20 cooperate to push the magnet 200 into the receiving groove 336 of the first receiving component 33b1 (and the second receiving component 33b2), a magnetic attraction force is generated between the magnet 200 and the pushing component 3321. The magnetic attraction force between the magnet 200 and the pushing component 3321 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction component 2123 and the magnet 200, thereby enabling the magnet 200 to detach from the first material handling component 2121 and be placed in the receiving groove 336, thereby realizing the transfer of the magnet 200.

[0202] In this embodiment, the third power assembly 33a3 includes a third power unit 333, a fourth power unit 334, and a fifth power unit 335. The third power unit 333 is connected to the drive plate 326 of the drive mechanism 32. The fourth power unit 334 is connected to the third power unit 333 and moves along a third predetermined direction under the drive of the third power unit 333. The fifth power unit 335 is connected to the fourth power unit 334 and moves along a fourth predetermined direction under the drive of the fourth power unit 334. The third receiving member 33b3 is connected to the fifth power unit 335 and moves along a fifth predetermined direction under the drive of the fifth power unit 335. The receiving groove 336 of the third receiving member 33b3 is approximately L-shaped. The third receiving member 33b3 can be made of materials such as stainless steel or plastic. The third receiving member 33b3 is embedded with a magnetic object that can generate magnetic attraction with the third magnet 203 (which can also be understood as a magnetic attraction element set in the receiving member 33b). The magnetic attraction between the magnetic object and the third magnet 203 is greater than the magnetic attraction between the third magnet 203 and the second magnetic attraction member 2126. The third magnet 203 is magnetically attracted to the third receiving member 33b3 through the magnetic object. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the third power component 33a3 and limiting the third receiving member 33b3, when the second picking member 2124 of the picking device 20 places the third magnet 203 on the third receiving member 33b3, the magnetic attraction between the third magnet 203 and the magnetic object is greater than the magnetic attraction between the third magnet 203 and the second magnetic member 2126. This allows the third magnet 203 to detach from the second picking member 2124 and be placed in the receiving groove 336 of the third receiving member 33b3. When the third magnet 203 is transferred to the receiving groove 336 of the third receiving member 33b3, the robotic arm drives the picking mechanism 21 to move as a whole. Through the coordinated cooperation of the abutment member 2128 and the reset member 2129, the abutment member 2128 elastically pushes the third magnet 203 on the receiving member 33b3 to adjust the position of the third magnet 203 on the third receiving member 33b3. When the position of the third magnet 203 on the third receiving part 33b3 is adjusted, the drive mechanism 32 drives the assembly mechanism 33 to approach the product 300. The third power unit 333 and the fifth power unit 335 cooperate to place the third magnet 203 in the magnet slot 301 of the product 300. Then, through the cooperation of the fourth power unit 334, the third magnet 203 is pressed into the magnet slot 301 of the product 300, thereby realizing the assembly of the third magnet 203.

[0203] In this embodiment, the third power unit 333 includes a stop seat 3331, a sliding seat 3332, a sliding power source 3333, a sliding mounting bracket 3334, and a return component 3335. The stop seat 3331 is connected to the drive plate 326 of the drive mechanism 32. Specifically, the stop seat 3331 can be integrally connected to the first stop seat 3312 of the first power unit 331. The sliding seat 3332 is slidably disposed on the stop seat 3331 through a sliding slider structure. The fourth power unit 334 is connected to the sliding seat 3332. The sliding mounting bracket 3334 is disposed on the stop seat 3331 and is disposed opposite to the sliding seat 3332. The sliding power source 3333 is disposed on the sliding mounting bracket 3334 and is disposed opposite to the sliding seat 3332. The sliding power source 3333 can be a thumb cylinder. The output end of the sliding power source 3333 is used to extend to push the sliding seat 3332 to move in a third predetermined direction. The return member 3335 can be a spring. The return member 3335 is connected between the sliding seat 3332 and the stop seat 3331 (which can also be understood as the first stop seat 3312). A rod-shaped object can also be disposed between the sliding seat 3332 and the stop seat 3331. The moving direction of the sliding seat 3332 is guided and limited by the rod-shaped object. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the third power unit 333, the output end of the sliding power source 3333 extends to push the sliding seat 3332 toward the first stop seat 3312 and compress the return member 3335. The output end of the sliding power source 3333 retracts to release the elastic force of the return member 3335. Under the elastic force of the return member 3335, the sliding seat 3332 moves away from the first stop seat 3312, thereby driving the fourth power unit 334, the fifth power unit 335 and the third receiving member 33b3 to move along the third predetermined direction.

[0204] In this embodiment, the fourth power unit 334 may include a power cylinder 3341, an L-shaped seat 3342, a first stop 3343, and a second stop 3344. The fifth power unit 335 may include a linear power component 3351 and a restoring component 3352. The power cylinder 3341 is disposed on the sliding seat 3332. The L-shaped seat 3342 is slidably disposed on the sliding seat 3332 along a fourth predetermined direction via a slide rail slider structure. The power cylinder 3341 is elastically driven connected to the L-shaped seat 3342 via a spring. The first stop 3343 and the second stop 3344 are both connected to the end of the L-shaped seat 3342 opposite to the power cylinder 3341, and the first stop 3343 and the second stop 3344 are spaced apart along the fifth predetermined direction. The linear power component 3351 can be a cylinder. The linear power component 3351 is slidably mounted on the side of the L-shaped seat 3342 away from the power cylinder 3341 via a slide rail slider structure and is connected to the third receiving component 33b3. The output end of the linear power component 3351 is used to extend to push against the first stop 3343. The restoring component 3352 can be a spring. The restoring component 3352 is disposed between the linear power component 3351 and the second stop 3344. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the fourth power unit 334, the fifth power unit 335 and the third receiving member 33b3 are driven to move along the fourth predetermined direction. By setting the specific structure of the fifth power unit 335, the third receiving member 33b3 is driven to move. In the fifth power unit 335, the output end of the linear power member 3351 extends and abuts against the first stop 3343 to make the third receiving member 33b3 move toward the second stop 3344 and compress the restoring member 3352. When the fifth power unit 335 and the third power unit 333 need to cooperate to place the third magnet 203 in the product 300, the output end of the linear power member 3351 retracts to make the restoring member 3352 release its elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force of the restoring member 3352, the linear power member 3351 and the third receiving member 33b3 move toward the first stop 3343, so that the third magnet 203 on the third receiving member 33b3 is placed in the magnet slot 301 of the product 300.

[0205] In this embodiment, the heating mechanism 34 includes a drive source 341 and a heating element 342. The drive source 341 is located on one side of the support mechanism 31 and can be a linear cylinder. The heating element 342 is connected to the drive source 341 and moves closer to or further away from the product 300 carried by the support mechanism 31 under the drive of the drive source 341. The heating element 342 is used to heat the product 300. A thermocouple or other functional device capable of generating heat energy by converting electrical energy may be installed inside the heating element 342. Specifically, the heating mechanism 34 may also include a heating connecting frame 343, a protective cover 344, and a sliding member 345. The heating connecting frame 343 is connected to the top seat 3112 of the bearing mechanism 31. The driving source 341 is set at one end of the heating connecting frame 343. The heating element 342 is slidably set at the other end of the heating connecting frame 343 through the slide rail slider structure. The sliding element 345 is slidably set at the heating connecting frame 343 through the slide rail slider structure and is located between the driving source 341 and the heating element 342. The driving source 341 is elastically driven connected to the sliding element 345 through the cooperation of springs. The sliding element 345 is connected to the heating element 342. The protective cover 344 covers the driving source 341 and the sliding element 345 and is connected to the heating connecting frame 343. Thus, by setting the specific structure of the heating mechanism 34, when the assembly mechanism 33 assembles the magnet 200 onto the product 300, the drive source 341 drives the sliding member 345 and the heating member 342 to move, so that the heating member 342 fits and abuts against the product 300, thereby heating the product 300. After the product 300 is heated, the drive source 341 drives the sliding member 345 and the heating member 342 to move away from the product 300, so as to remove the product 300 from the carrying mechanism 31.

[0206] The assembly equipment 100 of this application embodiment achieves mechanized assembly of magnet 200 onto product 300 through the coordinated cooperation between the feeding device 10, the picking device 20 and the assembly device 30, which can replace manual assembly of magnet 200 and help reduce labor costs; the heating mechanism 34 heats product 300 so that magnet 200 and product 300 are solidified and connected, saving oven space and helping to reduce oven energy consumption.
