[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This invention proposes a fully automated magnet alignment and assembly device for acoustic components, comprising:

[0066] Base 1;

[0067] The workpiece conveying mechanism 2 is located on the machine base 1 and is used to carry and convey the workpiece, which has a mounting groove for mounting magnets.

[0068] The workpiece loading mechanism 3 is located on the machine base 1 and is used to store workpieces and transport them to the workpiece transport mechanism 2.

[0069] The magnet carrying mechanism 4 is located on the base 1 and on one side of the workpiece carrying mechanism 2 along its conveying direction. The discharge end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 is located above the workpiece carrying mechanism 2, and the discharge end is provided with at least one first through hole 40 for passing a magnet.

[0070] The magnet feeding mechanism 5 is located on the base 1 and includes a storage component 51 and a magnet feeding drive assembly 52. ​​The storage component 51 is used to store magnets, and the magnet feeding drive assembly 52 is used to drive the magnets to be transferred from the storage component 51 to the feeding end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4.

[0071] The magnet transfer mechanism 6 is located on the base 1 and is used to transfer the magnet from the feed end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 to the first through hole 40 so that the magnet enters the workpiece mounting groove after passing through the first through hole 40.

[0072] In this embodiment, the fully automatic magnet alignment and assembly equipment for acoustic components of this application can be used for the magnet assembly of workpieces such as motor rotors, Hall sensors, and speaker magnetic circuit components. Taking the assembly of a speaker magnetic circuit component with a magnet as an example, the principle of the fully automatic magnet alignment and assembly equipment for acoustic components of this application is explained:

[0073] The workpiece transport mechanism 2 is used to carry and transport the workpieces to be assembled, ensuring that the workpieces can move smoothly on the equipment and to the designated position. For example, this can be achieved by driving the platform to move by a drive motor. The platform is used to carry the workpieces. This is only an example and not a limitation.

[0074] The workpiece loading mechanism 3 is used to store workpieces and to transport them from the storage area to the workpiece transport mechanism 2, providing a continuous supply of raw materials for assembly. For example, the workpiece loading mechanism 3 can function by setting up a storage bin and a transport device, where the storage bin stores the workpieces and the transport device moves them from the storage bin to the workpiece transport mechanism 2. This is merely an illustrative example and not a limitation.

[0075] The magnet carrying mechanism 4 is used to store and provide a conveying path for the magnets. The magnet carrying mechanism 4 has an inlet end and an outlet end. The outlet end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 is provided with a first through hole 40, which allows the magnet to pass through and enter the mounting groove of the workpiece. The workpiece can be conveyed by the workpiece conveying mechanism 2 to a position below the magnet carrying mechanism 4, so that the first through hole 40 aligns with the mounting groove on the workpiece, awaiting the next operation. Exemplarily, the magnet carrying mechanism 4 can be a single element with the first through hole 40 structure, such as a plate, or it can be a combination of multiple elements with the first through hole 40. This is merely illustrative and not limiting.

[0076] The magnet loading mechanism 5 includes a storage component 51 and a magnet loading drive assembly 52. ​​The storage component 51 is used to store magnets, and the magnet loading drive assembly 52 is used to remove the magnets from the storage component 51 and transfer them to the magnet carrying mechanism 4. Exemplarily, the magnet loading drive assembly 52 may be a handling robot or a handling device composed of multiple motion modules, which is only illustrative and not limiting.

[0077] The magnet transfer mechanism 6 is used to transfer the magnet from the feed end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 to the first through hole 40, so that after the magnet falls into the first through hole 40, it falls into the mounting groove of the workpiece below, thereby realizing the installation of the magnet in the mounting groove of the workpiece. For example, when the magnet carrying mechanism 4 is a plate as described above, the magnet transfer mechanism 6 can be a component that pushes the magnet to move on the plate so that the magnet falls into the first through hole 40. This is only illustrative and not limiting.

[0078] The working process of the fully automated magnet alignment and assembly equipment for acoustic components described in this application can be briefly described as follows:

[0079] Workpiece loading: The workpiece is transported from the storage area to the workpiece transport mechanism 2 via the workpiece loading mechanism 3.

[0080] Workpiece transport: The workpiece is transported to the area below the magnet carrying mechanism 4 via the workpiece transport mechanism 2.

[0081] Magnet loading: The magnet loading mechanism 5 stores magnets through the storage component 51 and uses the magnet loading drive assembly 52 to transport the magnets from the storage area to the inlet end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4. At this time, the magnets are in the assembly-ready state.

[0082] Magnet conveying: The magnet carrying mechanism 4 conveys the magnet from the feed end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 to the first through hole 40. After passing through the first through hole 40, the magnet enters the installation slot of the workpiece, realizing the precise alignment and installation of the magnet.

[0083] Workpieces continue to be transported: The assembled workpieces are continued to be transported by the workpiece transport mechanism 2 to the next production stage or final packaging. For example, when there are mounting slots in different positions for the workpieces, the workpiece transport mechanism 2 can transport the workpieces to the next mounting station, or it can transport the workpieces to the unloading station for unloading. This is not limited here.

[0084] This application achieves the following beneficial effects through a fully automated magnet alignment and assembly device for acoustic elements with the above-described structure:

[0085] Improved assembly accuracy: The automated control system ensures precise alignment of magnets during assembly, avoiding errors that may be caused by manual operation, thereby improving assembly accuracy.

[0086] Improved production efficiency: The automated operation of the equipment significantly reduces manual operation time, enabling continuous and efficient completion of magnet alignment and assembly, thus improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the efficient operation of the automated equipment reduces labor costs and production problems caused by human factors, thereby lowering overall production costs.

[0087] Reduced labor intensity: The automated operation of equipment reduces human intervention and the labor intensity of workers, especially in long-term, repetitive production processes, thus alleviating the work pressure on workers.

[0088] Maintaining consistency: The equipment can maintain consistent operational quality and precision, ensuring consistent assembly quality for each workpiece and reducing the defect rate in production.

[0089] In summary, this application achieves precise assembly of magnets through an automated process, solving the problems of unstable precision and low efficiency in traditional manual operation, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the production line and product quality.

[0090] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the magnet-supporting mechanism 4 proposed in this invention includes:

[0091] Mounting base 41 is provided on the machine base 1;

[0092] The base plate 42 has a mounting base 41 connected to its lower side, and a receiving groove 420 is recessed on its upper side. At least one first through hole 40 is opened on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420. The part of the base plate 42 with the first through hole 40 is located above the workpiece carrying mechanism 2.

[0093] The magnet transfer mechanism 6 includes:

[0094] A magnet transfer drive unit 61 is provided on the mounting base 41;

[0095] The transfer plate 62 is connected to the output end of the magnet transfer drive 61, located in the receiving groove 420 and slidably connected to the receiving groove 420. The transfer plate 62 has a second through hole 620 corresponding to the first through hole 40, and the second through hole 620 can accommodate the magnet.

[0096] The magnet transfer drive 61 is used to drive the transfer plate 62 to move so that the second through hole 620 approaches or moves away from the first through hole 40 in the horizontal direction.

[0097] In this embodiment, the main function of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 is to store the magnet and provide a transport path for the magnet, ensuring that the magnet can be accurately transferred to the mounting slot of the workpiece.

[0098] Mounting base 41 is provided on the machine base 1, serving as the mounting base for other components of the magnet carrying mechanism 4. The lower side of the base plate 42 is connected to the mounting base 41, and the upper side of the base plate 42 is recessed with a receiving groove 420, which serves as a channel for magnet transfer. At least one first through hole 40 is formed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420. The portion of the base plate 42 with the first through hole 40 is located above the workpiece carrying mechanism 2, allowing the magnet to enter the workpiece mounting groove located on the lower side of the base plate 42 through the first through hole 40.

[0099] The magnet transfer mechanism 6 includes a magnet transfer drive 61 and a transfer plate 62. The magnet transfer drive 61 is mounted on the mounting base 41 and can drive the transfer plate 62 to slide horizontally. The second through hole 620 on the transfer plate 62 can cooperate with the base plate 42 to accommodate the magnet. For example, when the transfer plate 62 is in the loading position waiting for the magnet to be loaded, the second through hole 620 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420 form a groove for accommodating the magnet. After the magnet loading mechanism 5 places the magnet in the groove, the magnet transfer drive 61 drives the transfer plate 62 from the loading position to the unloading position, so that the transfer plate 62 slides in the receiving groove 420 toward the first through hole 40, and finally the second through hole 620 is aligned with the first through hole 40. When the second through hole 620 is aligned with the first through hole 40, the magnet is no longer restricted by the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420. After the magnet in the second through hole 620 enters the first through hole 40, it flows out of the first through hole 40 under the action of gravity and enters the mounting groove of the workpiece below.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the base plate 42 is a single-element plate, the receiving groove 420 may be a feature directly formed on the plate. Similarly, the base plate 42 may also be a component composed of multiple elements, and the receiving groove 420 may be a groove formed by multiple elements. This is only illustrative and not restrictive.

[0101] The working process of the magnet bearing mechanism 4 in this application can be briefly described as follows:

[0102] Magnet placement and loading: When the transfer plate 62 is in the loading position, the second through hole 620 and the first through hole 40 of the transfer plate 62 are not aligned. The magnet is placed into the second through hole 620 through the magnet loading mechanism 5. At this time, the lower side of the magnet is blocked by the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420. The magnet temporarily stays in the groove formed by the second through hole 620 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420, ready for the next transfer operation.

[0103] The transfer plate 62 moves: the magnet transfer drive 61 drives the transfer plate 62 to slide horizontally, so that the second through hole 620 moves horizontally toward the first through hole 40. The second through hole 620 of the transfer plate 62 gradually approaches the first through hole 40 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420 until the second through hole 620 is completely aligned with the first through hole 40. Under the action of gravity, the magnet slides from the second through hole 620 through the first through hole 40 into the mounting groove of the workpiece, completing the alignment and installation of the magnet.

[0104] This application achieves the following effects by setting the magnet-bearing mechanism 4 and the magnet-transferring mechanism 6 with the above-described structures:

[0105] The cooperation between the magnet carrying mechanism 4 and the magnet transferring mechanism 6 ensures that the magnet can be accurately placed into the mounting slot of the workpiece, avoiding errors that may be caused by manual operation and improving the accuracy and consistency of assembly.

[0106] The automated magnet transfer process can be carried out continuously and stably, reducing human intervention and errors, and greatly improving production efficiency. It is particularly suitable for large-scale, high-efficiency production environments.

[0107] Automated equipment has replaced manual handling and alignment of magnets, reducing physical labor for workers and alleviating fatigue and work stress caused by long hours and high-intensity operation.

[0108] In summary, through precise structural design and coordinated operation, the magnet-bearing mechanism 4 and the magnet-transferring mechanism 6 in this embodiment achieve efficient and accurate alignment and assembly of the magnets.

[0109] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the magnet-supporting mechanism 4 proposed in this invention further includes:

[0110] At least one limiting plate 43 is provided on the base plate 42, and at least a portion of the limiting plate 43 is located above the transfer plate 62. The limiting plate 43 is used to limit the vertical displacement of the transfer plate 62, which is accommodated in the receiving groove 420.

[0111] In this embodiment, the main function of the limiting plate 43 is to ensure the stability and accuracy of the magnet's transport during assembly by restricting the vertical displacement of the transfer plate 62 and the magnet located in the second through hole 620. Specifically, the limiting plate 43 is disposed on the base plate 42 and located above the receiving groove 420. When the transfer plate 62 is in the loading position, the second through hole 620 of the transfer plate 62 is not blocked by the limiting plate 43. At this time, the magnet loading mechanism 5 can place the magnet in the second through hole 620. Then, the magnet transfer drive 61 drives the transfer plate 62 to move. During the movement of the transfer plate 62, firstly, the second through hole 620 gradually enters below the limiting plate 43 until it is blocked by the limiting plate 43. Then, the transfer plate 62 continues to move and is continuously blocked by the limiting plate 43 until the second through hole 620 aligns with the first through hole 40, and the magnet falls into the workpiece's mounting groove.

[0112] This application achieves the following beneficial effects by setting the limiting plate 43 of the above structure: By limiting the vertical displacement of the transfer plate 62 and the magnet, the limiting plate 43 effectively avoids misalignment or tilting of the magnet during the transfer process. This ensures that the magnet can always accurately enter the mounting slot of the workpiece, improves the assembly accuracy, and reduces errors caused by inaccurate placement of the magnet.

[0113] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the fully automated magnet alignment and assembly equipment for acoustic components proposed in this invention further includes a pressing mechanism 7, comprising:

[0114] Mounting bracket 71 is located on base 1 and spans above base plate 42;

[0115] The drive component 72 is pressed in and mounted on the mounting bracket 71;

[0116] At least one pressure rod 73 is provided at the output end of the pressure drive member 72;

[0117] The press-in drive member 72 is used to drive the press rod 73 through the second through hole 620 and the first through hole 40 to move in the direction toward the mounting groove of the workpiece.

[0118] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 7 is mainly used to press the magnet accurately into the mounting groove of the workpiece, so as to achieve the magnet's assisted falling and precise alignment.

[0119] Mounting bracket 71 is mounted on base 1 and spans above base plate 42, providing a mounting base and fixed support for other components of pressing mechanism 7. Pressing drive member 72 is fixed by mounting bracket 71, and pressing rod 73 is mounted on the output end of pressing drive member 72 and corresponds to the position of first through hole 40. Pressing drive member 72 is used to drive pressing rod 73 to move, specifically, to move vertically downward toward second through hole 620 and / or first through hole 40, so as to push the magnet in second through hole 620 and first through hole 40 toward the workpiece downward, until the magnet enters and is fixed in the mounting groove of workpiece.

[0120] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the limiting plate 43, as described above, is located above the transfer plate 62. When the pressing mechanism 7 proposed in this embodiment is provided, the limiting plate 43 cannot extend to be located between the pressing mechanism 7 and the first through hole 40, that is, it cannot interfere with the downward movement of the pressing rod 73 in the vertical direction and extend into the second through hole 620 and / or the first through hole 40.

[0121] In some embodiments, the number and position of the pressure rods 73 can be set according to the number and position of the first through holes 40, which is only an example here.

[0122] In summary, the design of the pressing mechanism 7 proposed in this application ensures that the magnet can be accurately pressed into the mounting slot of the workpiece, guaranteeing the precision of the assembly process. It not only assists in the installation of the magnet, preventing it from failing to fall properly due to differences in magnet size or other factors, but also effectively prevents the magnet from becoming loose or misaligned after assembly. Due to the automated design of the pressing mechanism 7, the entire pressing process requires no manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency. The design of the limiting plate 43 further optimizes the stability and operational reliability of the equipment, enabling it to maintain high efficiency and stability during long-term operation.

[0123] Reference Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments, the first through hole 40 proposed in the embodiments of the present invention includes at least one first branch hole 401 and at least one second branch hole 402. The first branch hole 401 and the second branch hole 402 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the transfer plate 62. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 420 is recessed with a slot 4201. The first branch hole 401 is opened in the bottom wall of the receiving groove 420. The bottom wall of the slot 4201 is recessed with a second branch hole 402, and is located on the side of the slot 4201 adjacent to the discharge end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4.

[0124] The fully automated magnet alignment and assembly equipment for acoustic components also includes a misalignment mechanism 8, which includes:

[0125] A misalignment drive component 81 is mounted on the base 1;

[0126] The baffle 82 has one end connected to the output end of the misalignment drive 81, and the other end can extend into the slot 4201. The end extending into the slot 4201 is provided with a third through hole 820.

[0127] The misalignment drive member 81 is used to drive the baffle 82 to move horizontally so that the third through hole 820 is aligned with the second through hole 620 and the first sub-hole 401, or so that the third through hole 820 is misaligned with the second through hole 620 and the first sub-hole 401.

[0128] In this embodiment, when multiple mounting slots for the workpiece are provided, the number of first through holes 40 is also provided. The multiple first through holes 40 are arranged in a row along the conveying direction of the transfer plate 62, and are divided into first sub-holes 401 and second sub-holes 402. The first sub-hole 401 is adjacent to the unloading end of the magnet bearing mechanism 4, and the second sub-hole 402 is adjacent to the infeed end of the magnet bearing mechanism 4. For example, the first sub-hole 401 and the second sub-hole 402 are arranged sequentially along the direction of movement of the transfer plate 62 toward the discharge end of the magnet bearing mechanism 4. Correspondingly, along the direction of movement of the transfer plate 62 toward the discharge end of the magnet bearing mechanism 4, the second through hole 620 on the transfer plate 62 is also divided into a third sub-hole 6201 and a fourth sub-hole 6202. When the first sub-hole 401 and the third sub-hole 6201 are aligned, the second sub-hole 402 and the fourth through hole 510 are also aligned.

[0129] When the magnet is received by the second through hole 620 (third sub-hole 6201 and fourth sub-hole 6202) of the transfer plate 62, the transfer plate 62 is driven to move from the inlet end to the outlet end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4. During this process, the third sub-hole 6201 will first align with the second sub-hole 402. At this time, the magnet will fall into the second sub-hole 402 and into the mounting groove of the workpiece below. Then the transfer plate 62 continues to move until the first sub-hole 401 aligns with the third sub-hole 6201 and the second sub-hole 402 aligns with the fourth sub-hole 6202. At this time, the magnet in the fourth sub-hole 6202 flows out from the second sub-hole 402 and falls into the mounting groove of the workpiece below. However, no magnet falls from the first sub-hole 401 into the third sub-hole 6201. As a result, there are two magnets stacked in the mounting groove of the workpiece aligned with the second sub-hole 402, while there is no magnet in the mounting groove of the workpiece aligned with the first sub-hole 401.

[0130] Therefore, the misalignment mechanism 8 in this embodiment needs to be provided. The misalignment mechanism 8 is responsible for adjusting the position of the baffle 82 through horizontal movement so that the third through hole 820 on the baffle 82 is aligned with or misaligned with the second dividing hole 402 opened on the bottom wall of the slot 4201. Specifically:

[0131] When the third through hole 820 on the baffle 82 is aligned with the second sub-hole 402, when the transfer plate 62 is driven to move until the second through hole 620 and the third through hole 820 are aligned, the magnet in the second through hole 620 can move through the third through hole 820 to the second sub-hole 402 and then enter the mounting groove of the workpiece.

[0132] When the third through hole 820 on the baffle 82 is misaligned with the second dividing hole 402, and the transfer plate 62 is driven to the position of the moving baffle 82, since the third through hole 820 is misaligned with the second dividing hole 402 and also with the second through hole 620, the lower side of the magnet in the second through hole 620 contacts the flat plate position of the baffle 82. The magnet will not fall into the third through hole 820, but will continue to move with the movement of the transfer plate 62.

[0133] That is, during the driving process of the transfer plate 62, the misalignment mechanism 8 first misaligns the third through hole 820 of the baffle 82 with the second split hole 402. The magnet in the second through hole 620 (third split hole 6201) on the transfer plate 62, which first passes through the slot 4201, will not fall into the second split hole 402. After the second through hole 620 (third split hole 6201) passes through the second split hole 402, the misalignment drive 81 drives the baffle 82 to move so that the third through hole 820 and the second split hole 402 are misaligned. When the second through hole 402 is aligned, and the second through hole 620 (fourth through hole 6202) of the feed end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 moves to the position aligned with the second through hole 402, the first through hole 401 is also aligned with the second through hole 620 (third through hole 6201) that first passes through the slot 4201. The magnets in the two second through holes 620 fall from the aligned first through hole 401 and second through hole 402 respectively, completing the simultaneous assembly of magnets for workpieces with multiple mounting slots.

[0134] In summary, this application achieves the simultaneous installation of multiple magnets by setting the above-mentioned misalignment mechanism 8, which not only improves assembly accuracy and production efficiency, but also avoids incorrect assembly.

[0135] In some embodiments, multiple magnet-supporting mechanisms 4 and a magnet transfer mechanism corresponding to each magnet-supporting mechanism 4 can be provided. Each magnet-supporting mechanism 4 corresponds to a magnet installed at a certain position of the workpiece. The installation of each magnet can be achieved through multiple steps. This is only an example illustration.

[0136] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the magnet feeding mechanism 5 proposed in this invention further includes:

[0137] The gantry frame 53 includes two upright columns 531 on the base 1 and a horizontal column 532 connected between the two upright columns 531. The horizontal column 532 is located above the magnet bearing mechanism 4. The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 is located on the horizontal column 532. The storage component 51 is located at the output end of the magnet feeding drive assembly 52. ​​The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 is used to drive the storage component 51 to approach or move away from the transfer plate 62.

[0138] In this embodiment, the gantry frame 53 consists of two upright columns 531 and a horizontal column 532. The upright columns 531 are mounted on the base 1 and connected by the horizontal column 532 to form a stable gantry frame structure. The horizontal column 532 is located above the magnet carrying mechanism 4. The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 is located on the horizontal column 532, and the storage component 51 is located above the magnet feeding drive assembly 52. ​​The storage component 51 is located above the magnet carrying mechanism 4. The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 can control the movement of the storage component 51, making it approach or move away from the transfer plate 62. For example, controlling the movement of the storage component 51 can be in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the magnet can be transported to the feeding end of the magnet carrying mechanism 4, that is, into the second through hole 620 of the transfer plate 62, which is in the feeding position and waiting for the magnet to be fed.

[0139] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the storage component 51 proposed in the present invention is in the shape of a cylindrical tube and is hollow with a fourth through hole 510, which is used to allow multiple magnets to be stacked in the vertical direction.

[0140] The fully automatic magnetic alignment assembly equipment for acoustic components also includes at least one baffle plate 9, which is located on the machine base 1 and on one side of the discharge port of the fourth through hole 510, to prevent the magnets in the storage component 51 from flowing out of the fourth through hole 510.

[0141] The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 is used to drive the storage component 51 to move from the upper side of the baffle plate 9 to the upper side of the transfer plate 62, so that the fourth through hole 510 is aligned with the second through hole 620.

[0142] In this embodiment, the storage component 51 is a cylindrical tube and a hollow strip tube with a fourth through hole 510. The fourth through hole 510 provides a space for stacking magnets, which can accommodate multiple magnets stacked vertically. Due to the shape and characteristics of the magnets, vertical stacking can effectively utilize space, avoid the scattered storage of magnets, and also facilitate automated equipment to take out individual magnets for conveying by mechanical means.

[0143] The baffle plate 9 is designed to control the flow of magnets within the storage unit 51 and to ensure the safety and accuracy of the magnets during the conveying process.

[0144] The storage component 51 is initially positioned above the baffle, above the magnet carrying mechanism 4, and on one side of the magnet carrying mechanism 4 along the horizontal direction. The magnet feeding drive assembly 52 drives the storage component 51 to move horizontally to approach the magnet carrying mechanism 4. Specifically, it approaches the second through hole 620 on the transfer plate 62, which is waiting for magnet feeding. This pushes the storage component 51 from above the baffle 9 to above the transfer plate 62. During the movement above the baffle 9, the baffle 9 always blocks the magnet from flowing out of the fourth through hole 510. When the storage component 51 is driven until its fourth through hole 510 is aligned with the second through hole 620 of the transfer plate 62, the magnet falls from the fourth through hole 510 into the second through hole 620. Then, the storage component 51 is driven in the opposite direction away from the transfer plate 62 and moves horizontally towards the baffle 9. The magnet is then stored in the second through hole 620, thus completing the magnet feeding process. In this way, the magnets in the storage unit 51 are removed one by one, and are ready to proceed to the next step of magnet alignment and transfer operation.

[0145] In summary, this application achieves a synergistic effect in magnet feeding by configuring the storage component 51 and the baffle plate 9, ensuring efficient and precise magnet delivery. The vertical stacking structure of the storage component 51 and the blocking effect of the baffle plate 9 allow the magnets to be smoothly delivered into the second through hole 620 of the transfer plate 62 according to the set process, avoiding inaccurate magnet alignment. This design improves production efficiency and product quality, and reduces equipment failures and material waste, thus playing an important role in automated production.

[0146] In some embodiments, an air blowing member may be provided on the upper side of the feed end of the fourth through hole 510 to blow air into the fourth through hole 510 to assist the magnet in falling. This is only an example.

[0147] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the number of magnet transfer mechanisms 6 proposed in the embodiments of the present invention is multiple, and each magnet transfer mechanism 6 is distributed at intervals along the conveying direction of the workpiece conveying mechanism 2, and a baffle plate 9 is connected between two adjacent magnet transfer mechanisms 6.

[0148] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 420 has mounting notches 4202 on both opposite side walls along its conveying direction. The mounting notches 4202 communicate with the receiving groove 420. One end of the baffle plate 9 is connected to the mounting notch 4202 and can abut against the side wall of the transfer plate 62 contained in the receiving groove 420.

[0149] In this embodiment, the design utilizes the coordinated action of multiple magnet transfer mechanisms 6, baffles 9, receiving grooves 420, and mounting notches 4202 to ensure efficient and precise magnet transfer during assembly, and effectively controls the magnet from becoming misaligned or unstable throughout the process. Specifically:

[0150] When a workpiece has multiple mounting slots with intervals between them, multiple magnet transfer mechanisms 6 can be distributed at intervals along the workpiece's conveying direction to achieve the sequential conveying and alignment of magnets at different mounting slot positions. Each magnet transfer mechanism 6 is responsible for the alignment and installation of magnets in different mounting slots, avoiding the chaos caused by conveying multiple magnets together.

[0151] Simultaneously, mutual interference during the transfer process can be avoided. The spacing between the magnet transfer mechanisms 6 effectively prevents mutual interference between multiple transfer mechanisms during operation. Adjacent magnet transfer mechanisms 6 operate independently, preventing mechanical friction, magnet misalignment, or equipment damage caused by overly close spacing.

[0152] A baffle plate 9 is set between two adjacent magnet transfer mechanisms 6 to ensure the correct sequence and position of the magnets during the conveying process. It also serves as the magnet conveying path between the two adjacent magnet transfer mechanisms 6, ensuring that the magnets do not "stack" or "jump" and thus maintaining good conveying accuracy.

[0153] Mounting notches 4202 are provided on both side walls of the receiving groove 420, providing a flexible connection method for the baffle plate 9. The connection design between the mounting notches 4202 and the baffle plate 9 allows the baffle plate 9 to move horizontally within a certain range relative to the receiving groove 420, and the specific position of the baffle plate 9 can be adjusted as needed. This design allows the entire device to be quickly adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, the type of magnet, and other requirements, improving the flexibility of the production line. At the same time, the upper surface of the baffle plate 9, which prevents the magnet from flowing out of the fourth through hole 510, is parallel and at the same height as the upper surface of the transfer plate 62 facing the storage component 51, facilitating the smooth movement of the magnet.

[0154] Through the above design, the baffle plate 9 and the receiving groove 420 achieve the following beneficial effects in this embodiment:

[0155] The independence of each magnet transfer mechanism 6 and the spacing between adjacent transfer mechanisms effectively prevent interference between magnets during transport. The baffle plate 9 controls the flow path of the magnets, ensuring that each magnet is accurately delivered to the target position.

[0156] The independent design of each magnet transfer mechanism 6, the precise control of the baffle plate 9, and the adaptive cooperation of the receiving groove 420 enable the equipment to maintain a stable working state during long-term operation, reducing equipment failures or downtime caused by interference or incorrect conveying.

[0157] In summary, the design of the baffle plate 9 and the receiving groove 420 in this embodiment precisely controls the flow path of the magnets, ensures the independence and linkage between the transfer mechanisms, and provides flexible adjustment functions through the mounting notch 4202. This design not only optimizes the stability and efficiency of the equipment but also improves the adaptability and accuracy of the production line, enabling the magnets to be efficiently and stably handled and assembled during automated assembly.

[0158] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the workpiece transport mechanism 2 proposed in this invention includes:

[0159] The workpiece support member 21 is provided on the machine base 1 and is used to support the workpiece;

[0160] A workpiece transfer assembly 22 is mounted on the base 1. The workpiece transfer assembly 22 and the magnet bearing mechanism 4 are disposed on both sides of the workpiece conveying mechanism 2 along its conveying direction. The workpiece transfer assembly 22 includes:

[0161] The transverse drive component 221 is mounted on the base 1;

[0162] Insert the drive unit 222, which is located at the output end of the transverse drive unit 221;

[0163] The clamping plate 223 is located at the output end of the insertion drive 222 and has a material pick-up notch 2231 for accommodating the workpiece;

[0164] The insertion drive 222 is used to drive the clamping plate 223 to move horizontally toward the workpiece so that the workpiece enters the material picking notch 2231. The transverse drive 221 is used to drive the clamping plate 223 to move relative to the workpiece carrier 21 so that the workpiece moves to the magnet carrier mechanism 4.

[0165] In this embodiment, the workpiece carrier 21 is a basic component of the workpiece transport mechanism 2, used to carry the workpiece and ensure that the workpiece does not tilt or move during transport. It provides a stable carrying platform for the workpiece, ensuring the safety and stability of the workpiece during transport. For example, the workpiece carrier 21 may be provided with a channel, in which the workpiece can slide.

[0166] The workpiece transfer assembly 22 includes a transverse drive 221 and an insertion drive 222, which are used to control the workpiece to move in different directions on the horizontal plane relative to the machine base 1, drive the workpiece to transfer from one station to another, and move it to the magnet carrying mechanism 4 or the unloading mechanism.

[0167] Insertion drive 222 is used to drive clamping plate 223 to move horizontally toward the workpiece so that the workpiece enters the material pick-up notch 2231. Transverse drive 221 is used to drive clamping plate 223 to move relative to workpiece carrier 21 so that the workpiece located in the material pick-up notch 2231 is moved to magnet carrier mechanism 4.

[0168] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the workpiece feeding mechanism 3 proposed in this invention includes:

[0169] The vibratory feeder 31 is located on the machine base 1, and the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 31 is located adjacent to the workpiece conveying mechanism 2.

[0170] The workpiece clamping assembly 32 includes a horizontal drive member 322 disposed on the base 1, a vertical drive member 321 disposed on the output end of the horizontal drive member 322, and a gripper 323 disposed on the output end of the vertical drive member 321. The gripper 323 is used to clamp the workpiece. The horizontal drive member 322 is used to drive the gripper 323 to move above the discharge port and the workpiece conveying mechanism 2. The vertical drive member 321 is used to drive the gripper 323 to move in the vertical direction.

[0171] In this embodiment, the vibratory feeder 31 is one of the core components of the workpiece feeding mechanism 3. It uses vibration to cause the workpiece to automatically flow along a designated path within the feeder and ultimately be transported to the vicinity of the workpiece conveying mechanism 2 through the discharge port. The vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibratory feeder can be adjusted to ensure that the workpiece is transported to the unloading point at an appropriate speed and position.

[0172] The workpiece clamping assembly 32 is used to precisely remove the workpiece from the vibratory feeder 31 and transfer it to the workpiece conveying mechanism 2. This assembly consists of a horizontal drive component 322, a vertical drive component 321, and a gripper 323, which work together to complete the vertical and horizontal movement of the workpiece. Specifically:

[0173] The horizontal drive unit 322 controls the movement of the gripper 323 in the horizontal direction, so that the gripper 323 can accurately pick up the workpiece from the discharge port and transfer it to the workpiece transport mechanism 2.

[0174] The vertical drive unit 321 controls the movement of the gripper 323 in the vertical direction, ensuring that the gripper 323 can clamp the workpiece at the correct height and place it in the designated position.

[0175] When the vibratory feeder delivers the workpiece to the discharge port, the gripper 323 adjusts its height via the vertical drive 321 to ensure that the gripper 323 can grasp the workpiece. Next, the vertical drive 321 drives the gripper 323 to hold the workpiece away from the vibratory feeder 31. Then, the horizontal drive 322 moves the gripper 323 on a horizontal plane, conveying the workpiece above the workpiece transport mechanism 2. Finally, the vertical drive 321 drives the gripper 323 to hold the workpiece and place it downwards onto the workpiece carrier 21.

[0176] This application, by setting up a workpiece feeding mechanism 3, and through the cooperation of the vibratory feeder 31 and the workpiece clamping assembly 32, achieves automatic workpiece feeding, precise positioning, and smooth transfer. This not only improves production efficiency, workpiece positioning accuracy, and automation level, but also reduces reliance on manual labor and the risk of workpiece damage, resulting in significant production benefits and stability. Furthermore, the system flexibly adapts to different workpiece types, making the production line more versatile and adaptable.
