[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Furthermore, terms such as first, second, etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features shown. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, terms such as installation, connection, linking, etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 9 A grinding device for tubular neodymium iron boron magnets 410, used for grinding tubular magnets 410, includes a base 400, on which a discharge mechanism 100, a transfer mechanism 200 and a grinding mechanism 300 are assembled.

[0041] The specific structure of the discharge mechanism 100 of this application is as follows: it includes a material tray 110, a sorting seat 120, and a pusher cylinder 130. The material tray 110 is connected to a discharge slide 111, and the sorting seat 120 is assembled at the end of the discharge slide 111. The sorting seat 120 is provided with a through groove, and the magnetic part 410 to be ground enters the through groove of the sorting seat 120 through the discharge slide 111. The pusher cylinder 130 is connected to a pusher rod 131 adapted to the through groove. The combination of the material tray 110 and the discharge slide 111 ensures the smooth transfer of the magnetic part 410, while the through groove design in the sorting seat 120, together with the pusher rod 131, can further guide and sort the magnetic part 410, so that it can enter the subsequent processing stage in a specific posture, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the processing, and improving the automation level of the overall discharge system.

[0042] To further improve the automation level of material discharge, the discharge mechanism 100 also includes a hopper 140, the bottom of which is provided with a discharge ramp 141, the end of which is located above the material tray 110. The hopper 140 is mounted on a material rack 150, which is equipped with a baffle cylinder 160. The baffle cylinder 160 is connected to a baffle plate 161, which extends into the baffle ramp. This design significantly increases the capacity of each feeding, greatly reduces the frequency of manual intervention, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.

[0043] The specific structure of the transfer mechanism 200 of this application is as follows: it includes a sliding base plate 210, which is assembled on the base 400 via a first sliding module 220. A fixing component is mounted on the sliding base plate 210. The fixing component includes a first clamping plate 230 and a second clamping plate 231. Both the first clamping plate 230 and the second clamping plate 231 are provided with clamping half-grooves 232, which cooperate to form a clamping groove for placing the magnetic component 410. The first clamping plate 230 is assembled and fixed to the sliding base plate 210, and the second clamping plate 231 is assembled and fixed to the sliding base plate 210 via a second sliding module 240. A material discharge port 211 is provided on the sliding base plate 210, and a material discharge ramp 401 is provided on the base 400.

[0044] During the transfer process, the clamping half-grooves 232 on the first clamping plate 230 and the second clamping plate 231 cooperate to form a complete clamping groove, clamping and fixing the magnetic component 410 pushed from the through groove. The sliding base plate 210 moves smoothly on the base 400 through the first sliding module 220, transferring the magnetic component 410 to the grinding mechanism 300 for grinding. After the grinding operation is completed, the second sliding module 240 drives the second clamping plate 231 to move backward, and the magnetic component 410 is automatically released and falls into the discharge port 211, and then smoothly slides down the discharge ramp 401 set on the base 400 to complete the entire processing flow. This design significantly improves production continuity and operational efficiency, while reducing the labor intensity of operators and potentially reducing product damage caused by human error, thereby optimizing resource utilization and production costs while ensuring product quality.

[0045] Furthermore, a material drop seat 250 is also provided on the sliding seat plate 210. The first clamping plate 230 is installed on the material drop seat 250. An auxiliary slide 251 is provided below the clamping half groove 232 corresponding to the first clamping plate 230 on the material drop seat 250. The material drop port 211 is located at the end of the auxiliary slide 251. Specifically, the setting of the auxiliary slide 251 ensures that the magnetic component 410 can slide smoothly along the preset path of the auxiliary slide 251 after release. This design effectively prevents the magnetic component 410 from being misaligned and falling, avoiding the problem of the magnetic component 410 falling outside the material drop port 211. At the same time, it also significantly reduces the impact force of the magnetic component 410 falling, preventing damage that may be caused by direct impact with the sliding seat plate 210.

[0046] The polishing mechanism 300 described in this application includes a clamping assembly and a polishing assembly disposed opposite to each other. The clamping assembly and the polishing assembly cooperate to polish the outer wall of the magnetic component 410. The clamping assembly includes a clamping mounting base 310, on which a plurality of ring-shaped clamping blocks 311 are mounted, and a reset structure for resetting the clamping blocks 311 is provided within the clamping mounting base 310. The polishing assembly includes a polishing mounting base 320, on which a plurality of ring-shaped polishing blocks 321 are mounted, and a reset structure for pressing the polishing blocks 321 against the outer wall of the magnetic component 410 is provided within the polishing mounting base 320.

[0047] The clamping assembly and the grinding assembly have identical reset structures, both including a reset sliding post 330. The clamping mounting base 310 or the grinding mounting base 320 has a sliding cavity 335 for accommodating the reset sliding post 330. The reset sliding post 330 is provided with a retaining ring 331 and a reset spring 332. The sliding cavity 335 includes a reset cavity for accommodating the retaining ring 331 and the reset spring 332. The reset sliding post 330 is provided with a limiting post 333, and the clamping mounting base 310 or the grinding mounting base 320 is provided with a limiting groove 334 for the limiting post 333 to slide.

[0048] Furthermore, both the clamping assembly and the grinding assembly include a feed base plate 340 and a feed cylinder 342. The feed base plate 340 is assembled to the base 400 via a feed sliding module 341, and the feed cylinder 342 is connected to the feed base plate 340. The clamping assembly also includes a fixing seat 312, on which a clamping chuck 313 is mounted, and a clamping mounting seat 310 is mounted on the clamping chuck 313. The grinding assembly also includes a grinding motor 322 and a transmission box 323, which are connected via a belt drive module 324. A grinding chuck 325 is mounted on the transmission box 323, and the grinding mounting seat 320 is mounted on the grinding chuck 325.

[0049] The polishing scheme of this application is designed as follows: the inward surfaces of several clamping blocks 311 cooperate to form a frustum-shaped expansion cavity, and an expansion block 326 that cooperates with the expansion cavity is rotatably mounted on the polishing mounting base 320. The outward surfaces of the several clamping blocks 311 abut against the inner wall of the magnetic component 410 to clamp the magnetic component 410, and the inward surfaces of the several polishing blocks 321 serve as polishing surfaces to polish the outer wall of the magnetic component 410. The clamping mounting base 310 is provided with a rotating slide groove 314, and the end of the polishing block 321 is provided with a rolling element 327.

[0050] The working principle of the grinding mechanism 300 is as follows: The clamping assembly moves forward, causing the clamping block 311 to extend into the magnetic component 410. At this time, under the action of the reset structure, the diameter of the column formed by the cooperation of several clamping blocks 311 is smaller than the inner diameter of the magnetic component 410. At this time, the magnetic component 410 is already hung on the clamping assembly, and the first clamping plate 230 and the second clamping plate 231 release their clamping of the magnetic component 410. Then the grinding assembly moves forward, and the expansion block 326 of the grinding assembly is inserted into the expansion cavity. The diameter of the column formed by the cooperation of the clamping blocks 311 increases, and at the same time, the inner surface of the grinding block 321 contacts the outer wall of the magnetic component 410 until the outer surface of the clamping block 311 abuts against the inner wall of the magnetic component 410. The rolling element 327 on the grinding block 321 enters the rotating groove 314, thereby achieving the clamping of the magnetic component 410. Then, the grinding motor 322 drives the grinding mounting base 320 to rotate, and the inner surface of the grinding block 321 grinds the outer wall of the magnetic component 410. After grinding is completed, the grinding assembly retracts, and the first clamping plate 230 and the second clamping plate 231 cooperate to fix the magnetic component 410, and then the clamping assembly retracts. After the grinding mechanism 300 returns to its original position, the second clamping plate 231 retracts, releasing the clamp on the magnetic component 410, and the magnetic component 410 falls into the discharge port 211.

[0051] The grinding mechanism 300 of this application not only achieves high-precision grinding of the magnetic outer wall parts, but also automatically clamps and unloads the material, improving processing efficiency, reducing reliance on manual labor, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the grinding production process of the magnetic parts 410.

[0052] The scope of protection of this invention includes, but is not limited to, the above embodiments. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the claims. Any substitutions, modifications, or improvements to this technology that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
