One production step in camera assembly involves inserting magnets into a groove in a plastic part.

[0020] In one embodiment, the magnetic storage device includes a magnetic storage lifting drive, a lifting drive, and the magnetic storage platform. The magnetic storage lifting drive is connected to the machine base. The lifting drive and the magnetic storage platform are connected to the output end of the magnetic storage lifting drive.

[0021] In one embodiment, the magnet insertion device further includes a conveying device, which includes a fixed track assembly and a movable track assembly disposed on the machine platform. The fixed track assembly and the movable track assembly are used to form a conveying channel for conveying the product, and the movable track assembly is used to transfer the product to be magnetized to the magnet insertion position.

[0022] In one embodiment, the magnet insertion device includes at least two devices, with the magnet storage device and the magnet loading device each corresponding to one of the magnet insertion devices, and the movable track assembly also corresponding to one of the magnet insertion devices.

[0026] In the technical solution of this invention, the machine base serves as the basic support structure for the magnetizing equipment. The machine base is equipped with magnet storage positions, magnet loading positions, and magnet insertion positions at intervals to ensure the orderly magnetization and insertion process. A magnet storage device is located at the magnet storage position, and the magnet storage platform of the magnet storage device is used to place a rack that holds multiple layers of material trays. It is understood that the rack has a multi-layer design, with each layer holding one material tray. Each material tray contains multiple sets of magnets, and each set of magnets contains multiple magnets. This allows for the storage of a large number of magnet sets at once, meeting the magnetizing needs of the magnetizing equipment for extended periods and effectively improving production efficiency. During magnetization, the magnetizing translation drive drives the magnetizing mechanism to move to the magnet loading position. The magnet loading module in the magnet loading device removes the material tray from the rack and transfers it to the magnet loading position. The magnet loading module at the magnet loading position magnetizes the magnet sets in the material tray into the magnetizing mechanism. Then, the magnetizing translation drive drives the magnetizing mechanism from the magnet loading position to the magnet insertion position and inserts the magnets into the product slots located at the magnet insertion position, performing automated magnetization. While the magnet insertion mechanism is moved to the insertion position by the magnet insertion translation drive, the magnet shifting module transfers the empty material tray back to the magnet storage position and puts it back into its original position in the material rack during the magnet insertion process. It also removes another layer of material racks for the next magnetization cycle. This achieves automated magnetization of the magnet insertion mechanism and effectively utilizes the time spent on magnet insertion for magnet shifting, thus significantly improving the production efficiency of magnet insertion.

[0053] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the present invention proposes a magnet insertion device 100 for inserting magnets into the receiving slot 71 of a product 7. The magnet insertion device 100 includes a machine base 1, a magnet storage device 2, a magnet insertion device 3, and a magnet loading device 4. The machine base 1 is provided with spaced magnet storage positions 11, magnet loading positions 12, and magnet insertion positions 13. The magnet insertion positions 13 are used to place the product 7 to be magnetized. The magnet storage device 2 is located at the magnet storage position 11 and is provided with a magnet storage platform 23. The magnet storage platform 23 is used to place a rack carrying multiple layers of material trays 6. Each material tray 6 contains multiple sets of magnet groups, and each set of magnet groups includes multiple magnets. The magnet insertion device 3 includes a magnet insertion translation drive 31 and a magnet insertion mechanism 32. The magnet insertion translation drive 31 is located on the machine base 1, and the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is located on the receiving slot 71. 2 is connected to the output end of the magnetic insertion translation drive 31. The magnetic insertion mechanism 32 is used to insert the magnet into the product 7 receiving slot 71 located at the magnetic insertion position 13. The magnetic loading device 4 includes a magnetic transfer module 41 and a magnetic loading module 42 provided on the machine base 1. The magnetic transfer module 41 is used to transfer the material tray 6 of the magnetic storage position 11 to the magnetic loading position 12. The magnetic loading module 42 is used to load the magnet group of the magnetic loading position 12 to the magnetic insertion mechanism 32. The magnetic insertion translation drive 31 is used to drive the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 to move between the magnetic loading position 12 and the magnetic insertion position 13, so that the magnetic loading module 42 can load the magnet group located at the magnetic loading position 12 to the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 and the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 can insert the magnet into the product 7 receiving slot 71 located at the magnetic insertion position 13.

[0054] In this embodiment, the machine base 1 serves as the basic support structure of the magnetizing device 100. The machine base 1 is equipped with magnet storage positions 11, magnet loading positions 12, and magnet insertion positions 13 spaced apart to ensure the orderly magnet loading and insertion. The magnet storage device 2 is located at the magnet storage position 11, and its magnet storage platform 23 is used to hold the material rack that supports multiple layers of material trays 6. It is understood that the material rack has a multi-layer design, with each layer holding one material tray 6. Each material tray 6 contains multiple sets of magnets, and each set of magnets contains multiple magnets. This allows for the storage of a large number of magnet sets at once, meeting the long-term magnetizing needs of the magnetizing device 100 and effectively improving production efficiency.

[0055] During magnetization, the magnetization translation drive 31 drives the magnetization mechanism 32 to move to the upper magnetization position 12. The magnetization module 41 in the magnetization device 4 takes out the material tray 6 in the material rack and transfers it to the upper magnetization position 12. The magnetization module 42 located at the upper magnetization position 12 magnetizes the magnet group in the material tray 6 into the magnetization mechanism 32. After that, the magnetization translation drive 31 drives the magnetization mechanism 32 to move from the upper magnetization position 12 to the magnetization position 13 and inserts the magnet into the product 7 receiving slot 71 located at the magnetization position 13 to perform automated magnetization.

[0056] While the magnet insertion translation drive 31 drives the magnet insertion mechanism 32 to move to the magnet insertion position 13, and the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is performing magnet insertion, the magnet transfer module 41 transfers the empty material tray 6 back to the magnet storage position 11 and puts it back into its original position in the material rack; and takes out another layer of material rack for the next magnetization. In this way, the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is automatically magnetized, and the time when the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is performing magnet insertion is effectively utilized for the magnet transfer of the magnet group, which effectively improves the production efficiency of magnet insertion.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic transfer module 41 includes a magnetic transfer translation drive 411, a magnetic transfer lifting drive 412, and a magnetic transfer platform 413. The magnetic transfer translation drive 411 is connected to the machine base 1, the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 is connected to the output end of the magnetic transfer translation drive 411, and the magnetic transfer platform 413 is connected to the output end of the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412. The driving direction of the magnetic transfer translation drive 411 is set at an angle to the driving direction of the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412. The magnetic transfer translation drive 411 is used to drive the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 to move the magnetic transfer platform 413 between the magnetic storage position 11 and the upper magnetic position 12. The magnetic transfer platform 413 is used to carry the material tray 6.

[0058] Understandably, the material rack is equipped with multiple layers of placement protrusions, and the multiple layers of material trays 6 are placed on the multiple layers of placement protrusions. The placement protrusions extend from both sides of the material trays 6 into the bottom of the material trays 6, so that the bottom surface of the material trays 6 is at least partially suspended in the air.

[0059] During the magnet transfer, the magnet transfer translation drive 411 drives the magnet transfer lifting drive 412 to move the magnet transfer stage 413 to the material rack. The magnet transfer translation drive 411 adjusts the height of the magnet transfer stage 413, and the translation drive drives the magnet transfer stage 413 to insert into the material rack so that the magnet transfer stage 413 is located below the material tray 6 to be transferred. Then, the magnet transfer lifting drive 412 drives the magnet transfer stage 413 to move upward, so that the material tray 6 is lifted off the boss. Finally, the magnet transfer translation drive 411 drives the magnet transfer lifting drive 412 to move the magnet transfer disk and the material tray 6 on it away from the material rack and move upward to the magnet position 12. Similarly, when the magnetic transfer module 41 puts the empty tray 6 back into the rack, the magnetic transfer translation drive 411 drives the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 to move the magnetic transfer platform 413 to the rack. The magnetic transfer translation drive 411 adjusts the height of the magnetic transfer platform 413, and the translation drive drives the magnetic transfer platform 413 to insert into the rack so that the magnetic transfer platform 413 is above the boss to be placed. Then, the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 drives the magnetic transfer platform 413 to move down so that the tray 6 is placed on the boss. After that, the translation drive drives the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 to remove the magnetic transfer platform 413 from the rack, and the magnetic transfer translation drive 411 readjusts the height of the magnetic transfer platform 413 in preparation for taking out another layer of tray 6.

[0060] Optionally, the magnetic transfer table 413 is equipped with a positioning sensor to detect whether there is a material tray 6 on the magnetic transfer table 413, so as to ensure that the material tray 6 is successfully removed or successfully placed back.

[0061] Optionally, the magnetic transfer table 413 is provided with a limit bolt, and the material tray 6 is provided with a limit groove corresponding to the limit bolt. When the magnetic transfer table 413 picks up material from the material rack, the limit bolt extends into the limit groove to limit the material tray 6, so as to avoid displacement when the magnetic transfer module 41 drives the material rack to move, which is not conducive to subsequent magnetization.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic shifting module 41 also includes a limiting drive 414 and a limiting member 415. The limiting drive 414 is connected to the output end of the magnetic shifting lifting drive 412, and the limiting member 415 is connected to the output end of the limiting drive 414. The material tray 6 is provided with a limiting groove 61. The limiting drive 414 is used to drive the limiting member 415 to extend into or leave the limiting groove 61.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the magnetization module 41 removes the tray 6 from the rack, the limiting drive 414 drives the limiting member 415 to extend into the limiting groove 61 to fix the tray 6 and prevent it from moving on the magnetization stage 413, which would be detrimental to subsequent positioning and magnetization. When the tray 6 is placed back into the rack, the limiting drive 414 drives the limiting member 415 to leave the limiting groove 61 so that the tray 6 can be stably placed on the boss.

[0064] In actual implementation, the limiting groove and the limiting recess 61 are set on the two opposite edges of the material tray 6. The limiting bolt limits the material tray 6 on one side of the material tray 6, and the limiting drive 414 drives the limiting member 415 to limit the material tray 6 from the other side. That is, the limiting member 415 and the limiting bolt limit the material tray 6 from both sides of the material tray 6.

[0065] Understandably, when the tray 6 is removed, the limiting member 415 is positioned away from the tray 6 to increase the distance between the limiting member 415 and the limiting bolt, making it easier for the tray 6 to enter between the limiting member 415 and the limiting bolt. When the tray 6 moves onto the magnetic transfer table 413 and is positioned between the limiting member 415 and the limiting bolt, the limiting drive member 414 drives the limiting member 415 to approach the tray 6, causing the limiting member 415 to extend into the limiting groove 61 to fix the tray 6.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figures 7 to 14 As shown, the magnet insertion mechanism 32 includes a frame 324, a magnet transfer module 321, a magnet extraction module 322, and a magnet insertion module 323. The frame 324 is connected to the output end of the magnet insertion translation drive 31. The magnet transfer module 321 is located on the frame 324 and has a magnet transfer channel 3213 and a magnet outlet communicating with the magnet transfer channel 3213. The magnet transfer channel 3213 is used to accommodate the magnet assembly. The magnet extraction module 322 includes a magnet extraction drive 3221 and a fixing component 3222. The magnet extraction drive 3221 is connected to the frame 324, and the fixing component 3222 is fixed. 22 is connected to the output end of the magnet taking drive 3221. The fixing component 3222 is provided with a magnet taking groove 32223, which is used to take out the magnet from the magnet outlet. The magnet insertion module 323 includes a magnet insertion drive 3231 and a magnet insertion component 3232. The magnet insertion drive 3231 is connected to the output end of the magnet taking drive 3221, and the magnet insertion component 3232 is connected to the output end of the magnet insertion drive 3231. The magnet insertion drive 3231 is used to drive the magnet insertion component 3232 to push out the magnet in the magnet taking groove 32223, so that the magnet is inserted into the receiving groove 71.

[0067] Understandably, the magnet transfer module 321 in the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is used to receive the magnets that have been magnetized. Each magnet group can be formed by multiple magnets attracting each other and arranging them in a strip shape.

[0068] In this embodiment, after the magnetic insertion translation drive 31 drives the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 back to the magnetic insertion position 13, the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move between the magnetic transmission module 321 and the receiving groove 71 of the product 7. When the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move to the magnetic transmission module 321, and makes the magnetic take-up groove 32223 of the fixing component 3222 correspondingly connected to the magnetic outlet of the magnetic transmission channel 3213, the magnet in the magnetic transmission channel 3213 leaves from the magnetic outlet of the magnetic transmission channel 3213 and enters the magnetic take-up groove 32223 of the fixing component 3222. Afterwards, the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move the magnetic take-up groove 32223 located in the magnetic take-up groove 32223. The magnet in slot 223 moves toward product 7. During the movement of the fixing component 3222, the magnet in slot 32223 naturally separates from the magnet group in magnet transmission channel 3213, achieving automated magnet picking. When the magnet picking drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move the magnet in slot 32223 above the receiving slot 71 of product 7, the magnet picking drive 3221 stops driving the fixing component 3222. At this time, the magnet insertion drive 3231 drives the magnet insertion component 3232 to move relative to the fixing component 3222, so that the magnet insertion component 3232 pushes out the magnet in slot 32223 and inserts it into the receiving slot 71 of product 7, achieving automated magnet insertion. Thus, the magnet insertion mechanism 32 of the present invention can achieve automated magnet picking and insertion, effectively improving the production efficiency of magnet insertion.

[0069] It should be noted that the magnet insertion mechanism 32 is used to insert the magnet into the reserved slot 71 of the product 7. The magnet and the slot 71 are usually arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Since the magnet inserted into the slot 71 is small, during the transfer process before magnet insertion, multiple magnets are usually attracted to each other to form a strip-shaped magnet group to facilitate transfer.

[0070] Understandably, during the magnetization process, the magnetization drive 3221 drives the fixing assembly 3222 and the magnet insertion module 323 to move synchronously. One end of the magnet transmission channel 3213 forms an outlet for the magnet to leave the channel, and the other end forms an inlet for the magnet assembly to be fed into the channel. Two adjacent magnets in the magnet assembly will attract each other due to magnetic force to ensure that the magnet assembly in the magnet transmission channel 3213 is transported in a strip shape.

[0071] It should be noted that at least part of the wall of the magnetic extraction groove 32223 can be made of magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. When the magnetic extraction groove 32223 of the fixing component 3222 is directly opposite the magnetic outlet, the wall of the magnetic extraction groove 32223 can attract magnets, causing the magnet assembly to move towards the magnetic extraction groove 32223, and the magnet at the end enters the magnetic extraction groove 32223. After a magnet enters the magnetic extraction groove 32223, when the magnetic extraction drive component 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move towards the product 7, the fixing component 3222 will move along the edge of the magnetic outlet to scrape the magnet in the magnetic extraction groove 32223 off the magnet assembly, thereby achieving magnet extraction. Furthermore, during the process of the fixing component 3222 moving towards the product 7, the fixing component 3222 can continuously cover the magnetic outlet to prevent the magnet in the magnetic transmission channel 3213 from leaving the magnetic outlet.

[0072] In actual implementation, product 7 is located below fixed assembly 3222, with the opening of product 7's receiving groove 71 facing fixed assembly 3222. Fixed assembly 3222's magnetizing groove 32223 has a first opening and a second opening. When magnetizing groove 32223 is connected to magnetization channel 3213, the first opening is aligned with the periphery of the magnetizing outlet; when magnetizing groove 32223 is connected to receiving groove 71, the second opening is aligned with the periphery of the opening of receiving groove 71. Magnetizing drive 3221 drives fixed assembly 3222 to move vertically, perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Magnetizing drive 3221 reciprocates along the vertical direction to connect magnetizing groove 32223 with magnetization channel 3213 or with receiving groove 71. When the magnetizing drive 3221 drives the fixing assembly 3222 to move to the magnet transfer module 321, the first slot of the magnetizing groove 32223 connects with the magnet outlet, and the magnet enters the magnetizing groove 32223 through the magnet outlet and the first slot. When the magnetizing drive 3221 drives the fixing assembly 3222 to move above the product 7, the second slot of the magnetizing groove 32223 is aligned with the slot of the receiving groove 71. The magnet insertion drive 3231 drives the magnet insertion component 3232 to push the magnet out from the second slot of the magnetizing groove 32223, so that the magnet enters the receiving groove 71 from the slot inside the receiving groove 71. It is understood that the receiving groove 71 may be pre-applied with adhesive or equipped with magnetic absorbing pieces to fix the magnet in the receiving groove 71 of the product 7. Optionally, the periphery of the first slot may be chamfered to guide the magnet into the magnetizing groove 32223.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing component 3222 is provided with a first clearance channel 32224 that connects to the magnetic groove 32223. At least part of the magnetic insert 3232 extends into the first clearance channel 32224. The magnetic inserting drive 3231 is used to drive the magnetic insert 3232 to move along the first clearance channel 32224 to push out the magnet in the magnetic groove 32223.

[0074] In this embodiment, at least part of the magnetic insertion component 3232 extends into the first clearance channel 32224 that communicates with the magnetic take-up groove 32223. When the magnetic insertion module 323 performs magnetic insertion, the magnetic insertion drive component 3231 drives the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move along the first clearance channel 32224 and enter the magnetic take-up groove 32223 to push out the magnet in the magnetic take-up groove 32223, so that the magnet is inserted into the receiving groove 71 of the product 7.

[0075] Understandably, when not inserting magnets, the magnet insert 3232 only extends into the first clearance channel 32224 and not into the magnet taking groove 32223, so as to avoid interfering with the magnet entering the magnet taking groove 32223 from the magnet transmission channel 3213 or affecting the stability of the magnet in the magnet taking groove 32223.

[0076] Optionally, the magnetic insertion component 3232 can be made of a non-magnetically attracted material such as aluminum or copper to prevent the magnet from being attracted to the magnetic insertion component 3232 during insertion, thus preventing the magnet from entering the receiving groove 71. The magnet transmission module 321 is also made of a non-magnetically attracted material such as aluminum or copper, allowing the magnet assembly to move within the magnet transmission channel 3213.

[0077] It should be noted that after magnetization is completed, when the magnetization drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move towards the product 7, the magnet insertion module 323 moves synchronously, and the magnet insertion drive 3231 drives the magnet insertion component 3232 to move synchronously, with the magnet insertion component 3232 and the fixing component 3222 remaining relatively stationary. However, when both move above the product 7, the magnetization drive 3221 stops driving the fixing component 3222, and the magnet insertion drive 3231 drives the magnet insertion component 3232 to move relative to the fixing component 3222. That is, the magnet insertion component 3232 moves along the first clearance channel 32224 into the magnetization groove 32223 to push the magnet out of the magnetization groove 32223 and insert it into the receiving groove 71 of the product 7. After the magnet is inserted into place, the magnet insertion drive 3231 stops driving the magnet insertion component 3232, and the magnet insertion component 3232 continuously presses the magnet to firmly fix the magnet in the receiving groove 71. At this time, the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move upward away from the product 7, so as to avoid the attraction effect on the magnet in the receiving groove 71. After the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move upward a certain distance, the magnetic insertion drive 3231 drives the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move upward, so that the magnetic insertion component 3232 returns to its original position relative to the fixing component 3222, that is, returns to the first avoidance channel 32224. Finally, the magnetic take-up drive 3221 drives the fixing component 3222 to move towards the magnetic transmission module 321, and the magnetic insertion drive 3231 also drives the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move synchronously, so that the magnetic take-up groove 32223 returns to the position connected with the magnetic outlet, so as to perform the next magnetic take-up and magnetic insertion.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing component 3222 includes a fixing member 32221 and a fixing strip 32222 connected to each other. The fixing member 32221 is connected to the output end of the magnetic drive component 3221. The outer wall of the fixing member 32221 is provided with a fixing groove. The fixing strip 32222 is detachably disposed in the fixing groove and surrounds the groove wall to form a magnetic groove 32223. The bottom of the fixing groove is provided with a first clearance opening, and the fixing strip 32222 is provided with a second clearance opening. The first clearance opening and the second clearance opening communicate to form a first clearance channel 32224. Optionally, the fixing strip 32222 and the fixing member 32221 can be integrally disposed or connected by welding.

[0079] When the magnetic drive unit 3221 drives the fixing unit 32221 to move vertically toward the product 7, scraping the magnet in the magnetic groove 32223 off the magnet assembly, the fixing strip 32222 also moves vertically along with the fixing unit 32221. During this process, the fixing strip 32222 can continuously cover the magnetic outlet to prevent the magnet assembly from leaving the magnetic outlet. Optionally, the fixing unit 32221 can be made of magnetically attractive materials such as iron, cobalt, or nickel to attract and fix the magnet located in the magnetic groove 32223. Optionally, the fixing strip 32222 can be made of non-magnetically attractive materials such as aluminum or copper to prevent the magnet in the magnetic transmission channel 3213 from being attracted.

[0080] In related technologies, product 7 is arranged in a circular shape, and multiple receiving slots 71 are arranged along the circumference of product 7 to accommodate multiple magnets. In this embodiment, a set of magnets can be arranged in each magnet transmission channel 3213, and magnet taking slots 32223 are arranged one-to-one with magnet transmission channels 3213. Each magnet taking slot 32223 selectively magnetizes the magnets in each magnet transmission channel 3213. A first clearance channel 32224 is arranged one-to-one with magnet taking slots 32223 to allow the magnet insertion module 323 to perform magnet insertion operations on the magnets in each magnet taking slot 32223. Optionally, the magnets inserted into the receiving slots 71 can be the same or different in size, and the sizes of magnet taking slots 32223 and magnet transmission channels 3213 are matched with the sizes of the corresponding magnets. The number of magnet transmission channels 3213 and magnet taking slots 32223 can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, etc.

[0081] Optionally, the magnetizing mechanism 32 further includes a rotation drive 325 and a rotation frame 326. The rotation drive 325 is connected to the frame 324, and the rotation frame 326 is connected to the output end of the rotation drive 325. The rotation drive 325 is used to drive the rotation frame 326 to rotate. The magnetizing module 321 is fixedly mounted on the rotation frame 326. The rotation drive 325 is used to drive the rotation frame 326 to drive the magnetizing module 321 to rotate, so as to change the orientation of the magnetizing inlet of the magnetizing channel 3213, so that the magnetizing device 4 can magnetize each magnetizing channel 3213.

[0082] In actual implementation, the rotating frame 326 is equipped with a slide rail, and the fixed component 3222 is slidably mounted on the slide rail via a slider. When the magnetic drive 3221 drives the fixed component 3222 to move, the fixed component 3222 moves along the slide rail to improve the stability of the movement of the fixed component 3222. It can be understood that when the rotating drive 325 drives the rotating frame 326 to rotate, it will not only drive the magnetic transmission module 321 to rotate, but also drive the fixed component 3222 and the magnetic insertion component 3232 to rotate coaxially, so that the magnetic slot 32223 of the fixed component 3222 is always aligned with the magnetic transmission channel 3213.

[0083] It should be noted that the magnetic drive component 3221 and the magnetic insertion drive component 3231 can be cylinders, electric cylinders, or linear drive mechanisms such as motor-screw-slide rail combinations. The magnetic insertion drive component 3231 drives the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move linearly via a drive shaft. The drive shaft is connected to the output end of the magnetic insertion drive component 3231. The drive shaft and the magnetic insertion component 3232 have a movable joint or bearing to achieve axial transmission and relative rotational freedom. In this way, the drive shaft can drive the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move linearly, and the magnetic insertion component 3232 can be driven to rotate around the drive shaft by the rotating frame 326 and the fixed component 3222. Similarly, the magnetic drive unit 3221 drives the magnetic insertion component 3232 to move linearly through the transmission kit. The output end of the magnetic drive unit 3221 is provided with a limiting plate. The limiting plate and the transmission kit realize axial transmission and relative rotational freedom through the bearing. The limiting plate is provided with a limiting ring groove. The bearing is limited in the second limiting ring groove. The transmission kit is fixedly connected to the fixed component 3222. In this way, the magnetic drive unit 3221 can drive the transmission kit to drive the magnetic assembly to move linearly. At the same time, the rotation drive unit 325 can drive the rotation frame 326 to drive the fixed component 3222 and the magnetic insertion component 3232 to rotate.

[0084] Specifically, when the rotation drive 325 drives the rotating frame 326 to rotate, the rotating frame 326 will drive the fixed assembly 3222 to rotate. At this time, the transmission kit is driven by the fixed assembly 3222 to rotate around its own axis. At the same time, since part of the magnetic insert 3232 extends into the first clearance channel 32224 of the fixed assembly 3222, the fixed assembly 3222 will also drive the magnetic insert 3232 to rotate around the drive shaft.

[0085] Understandably, the rotation drive 325 drives the rotating frame 326 to rotate via a turntable. The rotation drive 325 can be a motor, which drives the turntable to rotate through gear transmission. The turntable and rotating frame 326 are hollow to avoid obstructing the transmission assembly and drive shaft, allowing the transmission assembly to drive the fixed component 3222 to move linearly, and the drive shaft to drive the magnetic insert 3232 to move linearly. The transmission assembly is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft so that the transmission assembly, drive shaft, and rotating frame 326 are coaxially arranged.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the magnetization module 321 includes a fixed plate 3211, a cover plate 3212, and a magnetization detection element 3214. The fixed plate 3211 is connected to the frame 324. The cover plate 3212 is detachably connected to the fixed plate 3211 and together with the fixed plate 3211 forms a magnetization channel 3213. The magnetization detection element 3214 is disposed on the cover plate 3212 and is used to detect the number of magnet groups in the magnetization channel 3213.

[0087] In this embodiment, a magnetic transmission groove is provided on the fixed plate 3211, with both ends of the groove being open. The cover plate 3212 is detachably connected to the fixed plate 3211 by screws or bolts, and covers the opening of the magnetic transmission groove to form a magnetic transmission channel 3213. A magnetic transmission detection element 3214 is provided on the cover plate 3212. The magnetic transmission detection element 3214 can detect the number of magnet groups in the magnetic transmission channel 3213. When there are not enough magnets in the magnetic transmission channel 3213, the magnet insertion mechanism 32 stops magnet insertion, and the magnet insertion translation drive 31 drives the magnet insertion mechanism 32 to the upper magnet position 12. The upper magnet module 42 replenishes the magnets in the magnetic transmission channel 3213 in a timely manner. Optionally, the magnetization detection element 3214 can be an infrared detection element or a laser detection element, etc. The detection end of the magnetization detection element 3214 faces into the magnetization channel 3213 and is used to detect whether the end of the magnet group away from the magnet outlet has reached a preset position. If the magnetization detection element 3214 detects that the end of the magnet group has reached the preset position, it is determined that the magnetization channel 3213 needs to be magnetized.

[0088] Understandably, the detection end of the magnetization detection element 3214 is a certain distance from the magnet outlet to avoid the magnet group in the magnetization channel 3213 being too short, which would cause the magnet group to flip during the magnetization process and result in magnetization failure.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnet insertion mechanism 32 further includes a magnetic pole detection element 3215, which is connected to the side of the fixing plate 3211 away from the cover plate 3212. The magnetic pole detection element 3215 is used to detect the magnetic poles on the outside of the magnet in the magnet taking groove 32223.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5As shown, the upper magnetic module 42 includes an upper magnetic lifting drive 421, an upper magnetic translation drive 422, and an upper magnetic assembly 423. The upper magnetic lifting drive 421 is connected to the machine base 1, the upper magnetic translation drive 422 is connected to the output end of the upper magnetic lifting drive 421, and the upper magnetic assembly 423 is connected to the output end of the upper magnetic translation drive 422. The upper magnetic lifting drive 421 is used to adjust the height of the upper magnetic assembly 423, and the upper magnetic translation drive 422 is used to drive the upper magnetic assembly 423 to feed the magnet group in the material tray 6 to the magnetic transmission channel 3213.

[0091] It should be noted that the material tray 6 is provided with multiple spaced-apart receiving slots 62, and the strip-shaped magnet groups are placed in the receiving slots 62 one by one. During material loading, the material tray 6 located on the magnetic transfer table 413 is connected to the magnetic transmission module 321, that is, the receiving slots 62 of the material tray 6 are connected to the magnetic transmission channel 3213.

[0092] In this embodiment, after the magnetic translation drive 411 drives the magnetic lifting drive 412 to move the magnetic transfer stage 413 and the material tray 6 carrying the magnet assembly to the loading position, the magnetic lifting drive 412 can drive the magnetic transfer stage 413 to adjust the height of the material tray 6 so that the height of the material tray 6 receiving groove 62 is consistent with the magnetic transmission height. Then, the magnetic insertion drive 3231 drives the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 to move to the loading position so that the material tray 6 receiving groove 62 is connected to the magnetic transmission channel 3213. Both the receiving groove 62 and the magnetic transmission channel 3213 are arranged along a straight line.

[0093] It should be noted that before the magnetic transfer module 41 moves the tray 6 to the loading position, the upper magnetic lifting drive 421 drives the upper magnetic translation drive 422 to move the upper magnetic assembly 423 upward in advance, so as to avoid the upper magnetic assembly 423 obstructing the tray 6 from moving to the loading position.

[0094] When the material tray 6 reaches the loading position and the receiving groove 62 is connected to the magnetic transmission channel 3213, the upper magnetic translation drive 422 drives the upper magnetic assembly 423 to move to the side of the material tray 6 away from the magnetic transmission module 321. Then, the upper magnetic lifting drive 421 drives the upper magnetic translation drive 422 to lower the upper magnetic assembly 423 so that the upper magnetic assembly 423 is at the same height as the receiving groove 62 of the material tray 6. Finally, the upper magnetic translation drive 422 drives the upper magnetic assembly 423 to move towards the magnetic transmission module 321. During this process, at least part of the upper magnetic assembly 423 will extend into the receiving groove 62 and move along the receiving groove 62, pushing the magnet group in the receiving groove 62 into the magnetic transmission channel 3213 of the magnetic transmission module 321, thus completing the magnetization of the magnet group.

[0095] In actual implementation, the magnetic storage position 11 and the upper magnetic position 12 are spaced apart along the Y-axis, and the upper magnetic position 12 and the magnetic insertion position 13 are spaced apart along the X-axis. The driving direction of the magnetic shifting and lifting drive 412 and the upper magnetic shifting and lifting drive 421 is the Z-axis, the driving direction of the magnetic shifting and translating drive 411 is the Y-axis, and the driving direction of the upper magnetic shifting and translating drive 422 and the magnetic insertion and translating drive 31 is the X-axis. The magnetic shifting and lifting drive 412, the upper magnetic shifting and lifting drive 421, the magnetic shifting and translating drive 411, the upper magnetic shifting and translating drive 422, and the magnetic insertion and translating drive 31 can be linearly driven by an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a motor through a lead screw drive and a slide rail.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upper magnetic assembly 423 includes an upper magnetic fixing member 4231, an upper magnetic elastic member 4232, a position detection member 4233, and an upper magnetic sheet 4234. The upper magnetic fixing member 4231 is connected to the output end of the upper magnetic translation drive member 422. The upper magnetic sheet 4234 is slidably connected to the upper magnetic fixing member 4231. One end of the upper magnetic elastic member 4232 is connected to the upper magnetic fixing member 4231, and the other end of the upper magnetic elastic member 4232 is connected to the upper magnetic sheet 4234. The position detection member 4233 is disposed on the upper magnetic fixing member 4231 and is used to detect the position of the upper magnetic sheet 4234 relative to the upper magnetic fixing member 4231. The upper magnetic translation drive member 422 is used to drive the upper magnetic sheet 4234 to feed the magnet group in the material tray 6 to the magnetic transmission channel 3213.

[0097] Understandably, the magnetizing channel 3213 has a magnetizing inlet at one end opposite to the magnetizing outlet, and the two ends of the receiving groove 62 are connected. One end of the receiving groove 62 is used to communicate with the magnetizing inlet, and the other end of the receiving groove 62 is used for the upper magnetizing assembly 423 to extend into the receiving groove 62 and push the magnet assembly inside the receiving groove 62. A clearance opening is also provided on one side of the receiving groove 62 to avoid obstructing the upper magnetizing assembly 423 when it moves along the receiving groove 62.

[0098] In this embodiment, during magnetization, the magnetization translation drive 422 drives the magnetization fixing member 4231 to move the upper magnetic plate 4234 from the end of the receiving groove 62 away from the magnetization channel 3213 towards the magnetization channel 3213. The upper magnetic plate 4234 extends into the receiving groove 62 and moves along the receiving groove 62 to push the magnet assembly in the receiving groove 62 into the magnetization channel 3213. It can be understood that the width of the receiving groove 62 matches the width of the magnet, and the width of the clearance opening is smaller than the width of the magnet to prevent the magnet from detaching from the clearance opening.

[0099] The upper magnetic sheet 4234 is slidably connected to the upper magnetic fixing member 4231, and an upper magnetic elastic member 4232 is provided between the upper magnetic fixing member 4231 and the upper magnetic sheet 4234. When the upper magnetic translation drive member 422 drives the upper magnetic sheet 4234 to push the magnet group in the receiving groove 62, the upper magnetic sheet 4234 will be resisted by the magnet group and move relative to the upper magnetic fixing member 4231. The upper magnetic elastic member 4232 located between the upper magnetic fixing member 4231 and the upper magnetic sheet 4234 deforms until the upper magnetic sheet 4234 can push the magnet group to move. The position detection component 4233 can detect the position of the upper magnetic sheet 4234 relative to the upper magnetic fixing component 4231, that is, detect the degree of deformation of the upper magnetic elastic component 4232, and thus determine whether the resistance of the upper magnetic sheet 4234 to the magnet assembly exceeds a reasonable range. If it exceeds a reasonable range, it will promptly prompt the user to stop the machine for inspection, so as to avoid the magnet assembly getting stuck during the magnetization process. The upper magnetic translation drive component 422 would still drive the upper magnetic sheet 4234 to move the magnet assembly, which could damage the magnet assembly or the equipment. Understandably, the upper magnetic elastic key can also pre-compress the upper magnetic elastic sheet to keep its position relatively fixed.

[0100] Specifically, the upper magnetic sheet 4234 can be slidably set by means of a slide rail or slide groove in cooperation with a slider. The sliding direction of the upper magnetic sheet 4234 is consistent with the extension direction of the receiving groove 62. The upper magnetic fixing member 4231 is provided with a fixing block. The upper magnetic sheet 4234 can be set on the sliding block. The fixing block is provided with a sliding post. The sliding block is provided with a sliding hole. The sliding post passes through the sliding hole. The upper magnetic elastic member 4232 is sleeved on the sliding post. The two ends of the upper magnetic elastic member 4232 are connected to the fixing block and the sliding block respectively. The sliding block is provided with a detection piece. The position detection member 4233 can be a photoelectric sensor. When the detection piece triggers the position detection member 4233, it can be determined that the deformation degree of the upper magnetic elastic member 4232 has reached the threshold, and the resistance received by the upper magnetic sheet 4234 is within the reasonable range, so as to prompt the user to perform maintenance in a timely manner.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic storage device 2 includes a magnetic storage lifting drive 21, a lifting drive 22, and a magnetic storage platform 23. The magnetic storage lifting drive 21 is connected to the machine base 1. The lifting drive 22 and the magnetic storage platform 23 are connected to the output end of the magnetic storage lifting drive 21. The output end of the lifting drive 22 is provided with a limiting post 221, which is used to limit the material rack.

[0102] In this embodiment, before the magnetic transfer module 41 removes the tray 6 from the material rack, the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 drives the magnetic storage platform 23 to adjust the height of the material rack so that the magnetic transfer platform 413 of the magnetic transfer module 41 is located below the tray 6 to be removed. In this way, the magnetic transfer translation drive 411 can directly drive the magnetic transfer platform 413 to insert into the material rack so that the magnetic transfer platform 413 is located directly below the tray 6. Then, the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 needs to drive the magnetic transfer platform 413 to move up a certain distance to lift the tray 6, and finally move the tray 6 to the upper magnetic position 12. Similarly, before placing the empty tray 6, the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 drives the magnetic storage platform 23 to adjust the height of the material rack so that the magnetic transfer platform 413 of the magnetic transfer module 41 is above the boss. In this way, the magnetic transfer translation drive 411 can directly drive the magnetic transfer platform 413 to insert into the material rack, so that the tray is directly above the boss. Afterwards, the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 needs to drive the magnetic transfer platform 413 to move down a certain distance to lower the tray 6. It can be understood that the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 is used to adjust the height of the magnetic storage platform 23 so that the magnetic transfer platform 413 is positioned directly below the tray 6 to be removed or above the boss when inserted into the material rack, while the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 is responsible for driving the magnetic transfer platform 413 to lift or lower the tray 6. It should be noted that the spacing between each layer of material trays 6 in the material rack is the same. Therefore, the driving stroke of the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 is the same each time the height is adjusted. The driving stroke of the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412 driving the magnetic transfer table 413 to lift or lower the material tray 6 is also the same. This can reduce the control complexity of the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 and the magnetic transfer lifting drive 412, which is beneficial to the working efficiency of the magnetic device 4.

[0103] The bottom of the material rack can be provided with a limiting hole that matches the limiting post 221. When the material rack is placed on the magnetic storage platform 23, the lifting drive 22 drives the limiting post 221 to rise and insert into the limiting hole to limit the material rack, preventing the material rack from swaying horizontally relative to the magnetic storage platform 23 when the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 drives the material rack to move. A position sensor can also be provided on the magnetic storage platform 23 to detect whether the material rack is placed on the magnetic storage platform 23, so as to control the lifting drive 22 to drive the limiting post 221 to rise or retract.

[0104] In actual implementation, the magnetic storage platform 23 has a limiting wall protruding on the side facing the material rack. The limiting wall has a limiting groove, and the bottom edge of the material rack can protrude. When the material rack is placed on the magnetic storage platform 23, the bottom edge of the material rack inserts into the limiting groove to limit the position of the material rack in the vertical direction, thus preventing the material rack from swaying in the vertical direction when the magnetic storage lifting drive 21 drives the magnetic storage platform 23 to lift the material rack. Rollers can also be installed on the surface of the magnetic storage platform 23 to facilitate the material rack sliding into the limiting groove. The magnetic storage lifting drive 21 and the lifting drive 22 can be linear drive mechanisms such as electric cylinders or pneumatic cylinders.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnet insertion device 100 further includes a conveying device 5, which includes a fixed track assembly 51 and a movable track assembly 52 disposed on the machine base 1. The fixed track assembly 51 and the movable track assembly 52 are used to form a conveying channel for conveying the product 7, and the movable track assembly 52 is used to transfer the product 7 to be magnetized to the magnet insertion position 13.

[0106] In this embodiment, the position of the fixed track assembly 51 is fixed, while the movable track assembly 52 can move on the machine base 1. When the product 7 moves from the fixed track assembly 51 to the movable track assembly 52, the fixed track assembly 51 and the movable track assembly 52 pause transmission, and the movable track assembly 52 transfers the product 7 to the magnetic insertion position 13, so that the magnetic insertion mechanism 32 can insert the magnetic material into the product 7.

[0107] Optionally, the product 7 can be placed in a carrier tray for transport, and the fixed track assembly 51 and the movable track assembly 52 transport the carrier tray via a conveyor belt. The carrier tray has multiple slots to simultaneously support multiple products 7. The output end of the magnetic insertion translation drive 31 is also equipped with a visual positioning component to accurately position the product 7 on the carrier tray during magnetic insertion.

[0108] One end of the conveyor device 5 can be connected to the conveyor belt of the previous process, and the other end can be connected to the conveyor belt of the next process, thus forming an outflow processing line for product 7, effectively improving the processing efficiency of product 7. In actual implementation, the conveyor device 5 is set along the X-axis, with the magnetic storage position 11 and the magnetic loading position 12 located on both sides of the conveyor device 5. A barcode scanning device 8 is set at the beginning of the conveyor device 5, which is used to scan and mark the tray carrying the product 7 to be magnetically inserted, so as to facilitate subsequent traceability. A visual inspection device 9 is set at the end of the conveyor device 5, which is used to inspect the product 7 after magnetic insertion to determine whether the magnetic insertion meets the requirements.

[0109] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic insertion device 3 includes at least two devices: a magnetic storage device 2 and a magnetic loading device 4, each corresponding to the magnetic insertion device 3. The movable track assembly 52 also corresponds to the magnetic insertion device 3. The fixed track assembly 51 has a fixed track 511 extending along a first direction. The movable track assembly 52 has a first track 5221 and a second track 5241 spaced apart along a second direction. Both the first track 5221 and the second track 5241 extend along the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction form an angle. The movable track assembly 52 has a first position where the first track 5221 connects with the fixed track 511 to form a transmission channel, and a second position where the second track 5241 connects with the fixed track 511 to form a transmission channel. In the second position, the first track 5221 moves the product 7 to the magnetic insertion position 13.

[0110] In this embodiment, at least two magnetizing devices 3 are included to perform magnetizing processing on the products 7 in two trays respectively, thereby accelerating production efficiency. The two magnetizing devices 3 magnetize different products 7 conveyed by the same conveying device 5 to improve the production efficiency of the product 7 production line. It is understood that the number of magnet storage positions 11, magnet loading positions 12, and magnetizing positions 13 on the machine 1 is the same as the number of magnetizing devices 3; the number of magnet storage devices 2 and magnet loading devices 4 is also the same as the number of magnetizing devices 3. The magnet storage devices 2 and magnet loading devices 4 are each arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the magnetizing devices 3 to magnetize the magnetizing devices 3 accordingly.

[0111] For ease of understanding, the two movable track assemblies 52 distributed along the transmission direction of the transmission channel are respectively named the first movable track assembly and the second movable track assembly, and the transmission direction of the transmission channel is the first direction. In the initial state, the first tracks 5221 of both the first and second movable track assemblies are connected to the fixed track 511. At this time, the two first tracks 5221 and the fixed track 511 form a transmission channel, and the carrier tray moves the product 7 within it along the transmission channel. The second tracks 5241 of both movable track assemblies 52 are located on the side of the first track 5221 away from the magnetic insertion device 3. When the carrier tray moves the product 7 to the first track 5221 of the first movable track assembly, the first movable track assembly senses that the carrier tray is in position, and the first track 5221 and the second track 5241 in the first movable track assembly move so that the first track 5221 of the first movable track assembly moves to the corresponding magnetic insertion position 13. The corresponding magnetic insertion device 3 then moves the first track 5221 to the corresponding magnetic insertion position 13. 1. The product 7 in the loading disk is magnetically inserted. Simultaneously, the second track 5241 of the first movable track assembly moves to the original position of the first track 5221 to connect with the fixed track 511. This connects the fixed track 511 with the second track 5241 and the first track 5221 of the second movable track assembly to form a transmission channel for the normal transmission of another loading disk and its product 7. When the other loading disk and its product 7 are transmitted to the first track 5221 of the second movable track assembly, the first track 5221 of the second movable track assembly moves to the corresponding magnetic insertion position 13. The corresponding magnetic insertion device 3 magnetically inserts the product 7 in the loading disk on the first track 5221. At the same time, the second track 5241 of the second movable track assembly moves to the original position of the first track 5221. In actual implementation, the product 7 on the first movable track assembly and the product 7 on the second movable track assembly do not complete magnetic insertion simultaneously. Once the product 7 on the first track 5221 of the first movable track assembly has completed magnetization, the first track 5221 and the second track 5241 of the first movable track assembly simultaneously move to their respective original positions, and the product 7 on the first track 5221 that has completed magnetization can continue to be transferred to the equipment of the next process.

[0112] In practical implementation, the fixed track assembly 51 may include multiple fixed track components, which are spaced apart along the transmission direction of the transmission channel. Each fixed track component has a fixed track section 511. For example, there may be two fixed track components, with a first movable track assembly positioned between the two fixed track components and a second movable track assembly positioned on the side of the fixed track component opposite to the first movable track assembly, forming a fixed track component – ​​first movable track assembly – fixed track component – ​​second movable track assembly configuration. Alternatively, there may be three fixed track components, with fixed track components and movable track assemblies 52 alternating, forming a fixed track component – ​​first movable track assembly – fixed track component – ​​second movable track assembly – fixed track component configuration.

[0113] Understandably, both the fixed track 511 and the movable track can be formed by a conveyor belt, which is continuously driven during production. When a pallet carrying product 7 enters the transmission channel, it first enters the fixed track component, which is equipped with a blocking cylinder. When there is no first track 5221 of the movable track assembly 52 in the transmission channel, the blocking cylinder of the fixed track 511 prevents the pallet from continuing to be transmitted until the first track 5221 is reset, at which point the blocking cylinder resets, allowing the pallet to continue transmission. The movable track assembly 52 can also be equipped with a position sensor and a blocking cylinder corresponding to the first track 5221. When the pallet is transmitted to the first track 5221, the position sensor detects the pallet, and the blocking cylinder of the first track 5221 rises to prevent the pallet from continuing to be transmitted.

[0114] Optionally, the first track 5221 and the second track 5241 can be connected to the same linear drive mechanism. The distance between the first track 5221 and the second track 5241 is fixed. When the linear drive mechanism drives the first track 5221 to move to the corresponding magnetic insertion position 13, the second track 5241 just reaches the original position of the first track 5221.

[0115] In actual implementation, the magnetic storage position 11 is located on one side of the transmission channel, while the upper magnetic position 12 and the insertion magnetic position 13 are located on the other side of the transmission channel. It is understood that the fixed track 511 of the fixed track component is suspended by a bracket, and the magnetic transfer module 41 can transfer the material tray 6 from below the fixed track 511.

[0116] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, the active track assembly 52 includes a first drive member 521, a second drive member 523, a first track member 522, and a second track member 524. The first drive member 521 and the second drive member 523 are both connected to the machine base 1. The first track member 522 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 521, and the second track member 524 is connected to the output end of the second drive member 523. The first track member 522 is provided with a first track 5221, and the second track member 524 is provided with a second track 5241. The first drive member 521 is used to drive the first track member 522 along a second direction, and the second drive member 523 is used to drive the second track member 524 along a second direction.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first track member 522 and the second track member 524 of the same active track assembly 52 are respectively connected to the output end of the first drive member 521 and the output end of the second drive member 523. That is, the first track member 522 and the second track member 524 are driven independently and do not interfere with each other. Thus, when the first track 5221 of the first track member 522 forms a transmission channel, the second track member 524 can be set adjacent to the first track member 522. When the first drive member 521 drives the first track member 522 to move towards the magnetic insertion position 13, the second drive member 523 can drive the second track member 524 to move to the original position of the first track 5221 in the first instant, so that the transmission channel can transmit normally as soon as possible.

[0118] In actual implementation, both the first driving component 521 and the second driving component 523 can be linear drive mechanisms such as cylinders or combinations of motor leadscrews and rails.

[0119] Understandably, the movable track assembly 52 also includes a track lifting drive 53. The output end of the first drive 521 is provided with a placement plate, and the track lifting drive 53 is placed on the placement plate. The first track component 522 is connected to the output end of the track lifting drive 53. A support component is also provided on the placement plate, located below the first track component 522. Understandably, the track of the first track component 522 consists of two spaced-apart conveyor belts, with the support component located between the two conveyor belts. When a tray carrying the product 7 to be magnetically inserted is transported to the first track component 522, the track lifting drive 53 drives the first track component 522 to descend until the tray on the conveyor belt falls onto the support component and leaves the conveyor belt, thus fixing the position of the tray and its product 7 and improving the stability of magnetic insertion. After magnetic insertion is completed, the track lifting drive 53 drives the first track component 522 to rise, so that the tray returns to the conveyor belt. Optionally, the first track component 522 also includes a pressing component, positioned above the conveyor belt. When the carrier tray moves on the conveyor belt, the pressing component does not contact the carrier tray, avoiding interference with its normal transport. When the track lifting drive 53 drives the first track component 522 downwards to allow the carrier tray to land on the support component, the pressing component presses down on the carrier tray from above, further fixing its position and improving the stability of the magnetic insertion of product 7. Understandably, the support component can fix the carrier tray's position on the support component using vacuum adsorption and positioning pins.

[0120] Specifically, the track lifting drive 53 includes a motor and a lead screw. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is threadedly engaged with the first track component 522. The first track component 522 is disposed on the lifting track of the placement plate. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate so that the first track component 522 moves along the lifting track.

[0121] Optionally, the first track component 522 is also provided with a waste magnet collection component 54. When the magnetic pole detection component 3215 detects that the magnet in the magnet taking groove 32223 is unqualified, the magnet inserting component 3232 puts the magnet in the magnet taking groove 32223 into the waste magnet collection component 54 and takes magnets again from the magnet transmission channel 3213.

Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
