Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surface treatment, in particular to an automatic surface treatment device for a neodymium iron boron magnet. Background Art

[0002] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) materials are widely used in new energy vehicles, wind power generation, consumer electronics, and other fields due to their excellent magnetic properties. During the magnet preparation process, multiple surface treatments are required, including chamfering, electroplating, and phosphating. Chamfering is achieved by grinding away sharp angles, burrs, and microcracks on the magnet's edges to prevent them from interfering with the subsequent phosphating process. This process is primarily performed by a square chamfering machine, which secures the magnet in place before moving it vertically to contact a grinding wheel for edge chamfering.

[0003] Currently, the following problems exist in the magnet processing process: First, the vertical feed method cannot adapt to the change of arc surface curvature, resulting in overcutting of the arc top area and under-grinding of the transition areas at both ends, causing uneven chamfer width, thereby affecting the uniformity of subsequent phosphating treatment. The phosphate film layer in the overcut area is easy to peel off, and the sharp edges of the under-grinded area become the starting point of corrosion due to plating leakage, which greatly reduces the protective life of the magnet. At the same time, the position stability of the magnet during grinding needs to be improved, and the stability of the magnet will directly affect the grinding quality and consistency, causing under-grinding or overcutting.

[0004] Therefore, the vertical feeding method cannot adapt to the change of the curvature of the arc surface and the insufficient position stability of the magnet during grinding, which easily leads to the problem of under-grinding or over-cutting, which is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic surface treatment device for NdFeB magnets includes a fixing plate 10 and an inverted concave frame 11 installed at its front end; through holes 12 for feeding and discharging materials are respectively opened at the left and right ends of the frame 11, and a grinding mechanism 2 and a fixing mechanism 3 are provided on the frame 11.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the grinding mechanism 2 includes four rectangularly distributed grinding rollers 20, the axes of the upper and lower grinding rollers 20 are perpendicular to each other, and the grinding rollers 20 are slid left and right on the frame 11. The grinding mechanism 2 also includes a pushing part 9 for limiting the magnet so that it remains stable during grinding.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cam 31 is provided with a lifting plate 31 for sliding up and down between the two vertical sections of the support plate 30, and a turntable 32 with a vertical axis is rotatably installed on the upper end of the lifting plate 31. Two left-right symmetrical limit plates 33 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the turntable 32, and a suction cup 34 with a horizontal rotation reference line is rotatably installed on the two limit plates 33. A module 35 is detachably installed on the upper end of the suction cup 34. The detachable installation method is adopted to facilitate the replacement of the module 35. When processing tile-shaped magnets, the upper end of the module 35 is an arc-shaped convex surface. When processing rectangular magnets, a module 35 with a flat upper end can be installed to ensure the fixing effect of the magnet, thereby improving the grinding quality. Two pairs of front-to-back symmetrical push-pull rods 36 are hingedly installed at the lower end of the suction cup 34. A guide part 4 and a driving part 5 for driving the guide part 4 to drive the suction cup 34 to rotate are provided on the turntable 32.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the rear vertical section of the support plate 30 is fixedly installed with a No. 3 cylinder 7 whose telescopic section is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 31, and the lower end of the lifting plate 31 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 8 whose output shaft is fixedly connected to the turntable 32.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, during specific operation, the NdFeB magnet surface automatic processing device is fixed to the processing area of ​​the existing square piece chamfering machine to replace the existing chamfering device, and the existing conveyors are set on the left and right sides of the magnet surface automatic processing device. A pusher is set on the right conveyor, and the pusher pushes the magnet conveyed by the right conveyor to the module 35, and then the suction cup 34 adsorbs and fixes the magnet through the module 35, and then the guide part 4 drives the suction cup 34 to rotate through the driving part 5. When the suction cup 34 rotates, the push-pull rod 36 moves accordingly under the action of the guide part 4. The setting of the push-pull rod 36 In order to improve the stability of the rotation of the suction cup 34, the suction cup 34 drives the magnet to rotate synchronously at a fixed angle, so that the arc edge of the magnet can always maintain normal vertical contact with the grinding roller 20, so that the cutting depth of the grinding roller 20 at the contact point with the arc edge of the magnet is constant, thereby ensuring that the chamfer width of the transition zone from the top of the magnet arc to the end is consistent, and then the No. 3 cylinder 7 pulls the lifting plate 31 upward, and the lifting plate 31 drives the fixed magnet to move up to the processing area, and the grinding mechanism 2 drives the rotating grinding roller 20 to move, so that the two grinding rollers 20 on the upper side respectively contact the outer arc edges at both ends of the magnet for grinding (such as Figure 5 As shown in the upper middle side view, during grinding, the suction cup 34 drives the magnet to rotate to ensure the integrity of the outer arc edge grinding of the magnet. Then the grinding mechanism 2 is reset first, and the lifting plate 31 moves down to the processing area. Then the grinding mechanism 2 moves, and the two grinding rollers 20 on the lower side synchronously grind and chamfer the inner arc edges of the left and right ends of the magnet (as shown in the upper middle view). Figure 5 (shown in lower middle side view).

[0034] After the arc edge grinding of the magnet is completed, the grinding mechanism 2 is reset first, and the servo motor 8 drives the turntable 32 to rotate 90 degrees so that the horizontal edge of the magnet corresponds to the grinding roller 20. Then the driving part 5 drives the guide part 4 to drive the suction cup 34 to rotate to adjust the grinding position of the magnet. Then the lifting plate 31 moves up to the processing area, and the corresponding single grinding roller 20 moves to contact the horizontal edge of the upper side of one end of the magnet for grinding (such as Figure 6 As shown in the upper middle view), the grinding mechanism 2 is reset first, and the lifting plate 31 is moved down to the processing area, and then the corresponding single grinding roller 20 is brought into contact with the lower horizontal edge of the end of the magnet for grinding (as shown in the upper middle view). Figure 6 (As shown in the lower-middle side view), follow the above steps to chamfer the two horizontal edges at the other end of the magnet.

[0035] After the horizontal edge of the magnet is polished, the polishing mechanism 2 is reset, and the servo motor 8 drives the turntable 32 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. Then, the suction cup 34 releases its adsorption on the magnet, and the external pusher pushes the processed magnet to the left conveyor for transportation to the subsequent processing station. The pusher then pushes the magnet to be processed to the module 35 for further polishing. It should be noted that whether the horizontal edge or the arc edge of the magnet is polished, the grinding roller 20 moves toward the magnet after the magnet moves to the processing area.

[0036] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide portion 4 includes an arc-shaped guide groove 40 opened on the limit plate 33, and the push-pull rod 36 is located between the two limit plates 33. The push-pull rod 36 in each pair is symmetrical on the left and right, and the opposite sections are hingedly installed with guide columns 41 that cooperate with the guide groove 40. A connecting rod 43 is fixedly installed between the two push-pull rods 36 of the same pair, and the opposite ends of the two limit plates 33 are rotatably installed with support plates 42. The two support plates 42 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the suction cup 34, and the rotation point of the support plate 42 is located on the vertical diameter line of the guide groove 40 but is not co-center with the guide groove 40.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving part 5 includes a No. 2 cylinder 50 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the turntable 32, and the telescopic section of the No. 2 cylinder 50 is fixedly mounted with a slide 51 slidably connected to the turntable 32, and a rack 53 is mounted on the upper end of the slide 51, and a gear 52 meshing with the rack 53 is coaxially mounted at the rotation point of one of the support plates 42.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, during operation, cylinder 50 pushes slide 51 forward and backward, which in turn drives rack 53. The movement of rack 53 causes gear 52 to rotate support plate 42, which in turn drives the magnet via suction cup 34. During this process, suction cup 34 drives push-pull rod 36, while guide post 41 moves along guide groove 40 for position limiting. The tilt of push-pull rod 36 changes relative to its initial state. When grinding the arc edge of the magnet, support plate 42 drives the magnet forward and backward via suction cup 34. When grinding the horizontal edge of the magnet, turntable 32 is first rotated 90 degrees so that the horizontal edge of the magnet aligns with grinding roller 20, effectively contacting the grinding roller 20. At this point, support plate 42 drives the magnet left and right via suction cup 34, thereby adjusting the position of the magnet's horizontal edge and ensuring the quality and effect of the chamfer.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the grinding mechanism 2 also includes two slide grooves respectively opened on the left and right sides of the frame 11, and the slide grooves are located on the rear side of the through hole 12. An H-shaped frame 21 is slidably installed in the slide groove, and the two horizontal sections of the H-shaped frame 21 are fixedly installed with shaft seats 22 at one end close to the support plate 30. The grinding rollers 20 are rotatably installed on the corresponding shaft seats 22, and the axes of the upper and lower grinding rollers 20 on the same H-shaped frame 21 are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the H-shaped frame 21 is provided with an actuator 23 for driving the grinding roller 20 to rotate. The actuator 23 includes a rotating shaft 230 rotatably mounted on the shaft seat 22. The rotating shaft 230 rotates through the vertical section of the H-shaped frame 21. The two rotating shafts 230 opposite to each other are connected by a bevel gear set 231. A transmission shaft 232 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 240. The transmission shaft 232 and a corresponding rotating shaft 230, and the grinding roller 20 and the corresponding rotating shaft 230 are all connected by belt transmission.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 11 is equipped with a push-pull member 24 for pushing and pulling the H-shaped frame 21 to move. The push-pull member 24 includes a connecting plate 240. The two horizontal sections of the H-shaped frame 21 are fixedly installed with a connecting plate 240 at one end away from the lifting plate 31. The opposite surfaces of the two vertical sections of the frame 11 are fixedly installed with a No. 1 cylinder 241. The telescopic section of the No. 1 cylinder 241 slides through the frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting plate 240.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an axis plate is fixedly installed at the front end of the frame 11, and two sliding rods 60 that are symmetrical on the left and right and are located below the horizontal section of the frame 11 are fixedly installed between the axis plate and the fixed plate 10. Two sliding sleeves 61 are slidably installed on the two sliding rods 60, and the lower end of the sliding sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 30. A No. 4 cylinder 62 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the horizontal section of the frame 11, and the telescopic section of the No. 4 cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the front sleeve 61.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pushing portion 9 includes pressure rods 90 symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the grinding roller 20. The pressure rods 90 are fixedly mounted on the corresponding shaft seat 22, and a ball is provided at the end of the pressure rod 90. An inverted L-shaped mounting plate 91 is provided between the grinding roller 20 located on the lower side and the corresponding pressure rod 90. The mounting plate 91 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding shaft seat 22, and a pressure roller 92 located above the grinding roller 20 is rotatably mounted on the end of the mounting plate 91 away from the shaft seat 22.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, during specific operation, after the magnet moves to the processing area, the external motor installed on the connecting plate 240 drives the corresponding transmission shaft 232 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 232 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 230 to rotate through the corresponding belt, and the rotating shaft 230 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 230 to rotate through the bevel gear set 231, and the rotating shaft 230 drives the corresponding grinding roller 20 to rotate through the corresponding belt, and then, the No. 1 cylinder 241 pulls the corresponding H-shaped frame 21 to move toward the lifting plate 31 through the connecting plate 240, and then the grinding roller 20 moves toward the lifting plate 31.

[0045] When grinding the outer arc edges of both ends of the magnet, the lifting plate 31 drives the magnet to move to the processing area, and the two upper grinding rollers 20 contact the corresponding ends of the magnet at the same time. However, at this time, the pressure rods 90 corresponding to the two grinding rollers 20 do not contact the magnet. Under the action of the symmetrical pressing force exerted by the grinding rollers 20 on both sides, the magnet can maintain a relatively stable state with the suction cup 34 (see Figure 5 When the inner arc edges at both ends of the magnet are polished, the two lower grinding rollers 20 are in contact with the corresponding ends of the magnet at the same time, and the pressure rollers 92 corresponding to the two grinding rollers 20 are in contact with the upper end surface of the magnet, but the pressure rod 90 does not contact the magnet (see Figure 5 The lower middle side view) uses the left-right symmetrical pressure roller 92 to press against the upper end surface of the magnet and cooperate with the two grinding rollers 20 on the lower side to balance the force on the magnet, so that the magnet and the suction cup 34 remain in a relatively stable state.

[0046] When grinding the upper horizontal edge of the magnet end, the lifting plate 31 drives the magnet to move to the processing area, and one of the upper grinding rollers 20 contacts the corresponding horizontal edge, but the pressure rod 90 corresponding to this grinding roller 20 does not contact the magnet, and the ball on the pressure rod 90 corresponding to the other upper grinding roller 20 contacts the upper end surface of the magnet (see Figure 6 The upper middle side view) balances the force on the magnet, so that the magnet and the suction cup 34 remain relatively stable. When grinding the lower horizontal edge of the magnet end, one of the lower grinding rollers 20 contacts the corresponding horizontal edge, but the pressure rod 90 corresponding to this grinding roller 20 does not contact the magnet. The ball on the pressure rod 90 corresponding to the other lower grinding roller 20 contacts the upper end face of the magnet, and the pressure rollers 92 corresponding to the two lower grinding rollers 20 do not contact the magnet (see Figure 6 The purpose of the above operation is also to balance the force on the magnet so that the magnet and the suction cup 34 remain in a relatively stable state, thereby improving the grinding quality of the magnet and the grinding consistency of each edge, and avoiding under-grinding or over-cutting.

[0047] In addition, while the grinding roller 20 is grinding the horizontal edge of the magnet, the No. 4 cylinder 62 will push the support plate 30 back and forth through the sleeve 61, so that the horizontal edge of the magnet is completely ground by the corresponding grinding roller 20. After all processing is completed, the grinding mechanism 2 and the fixing mechanism 3 are reset, the suction cup 34 releases the fixation of the magnet, the magnet is pushed out, and the magnet to be processed is moved again to the module 35 to continue the grinding process.
