Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of magnet-attacking machines, and more specifically, to an automatic magnet-attacking machine. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as electronics and household goods, magnetic housings and other workpieces typically require magnets for adsorption. These magnets are usually embedded into grooves within the workpiece. Traditional magnet installation relies heavily on manual operation, with workers manually placing each magnet individually into its designated position. This process is inefficient and prone to errors due to human error, such as inaccurate placement or magnet damage. Furthermore, while some existing automated equipment can achieve partial automation, it is often complex in structure, expensive, and prone to jamming or unstable magnet handling during supply and pickup, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple, stable, and efficient automatic magnet-attaching machine to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problem of low magnet installation efficiency in existing technologies, this application provides an automatic magnet-attaching machine.
[0004] An automatic magnet-attacking machine,
[0005] The device includes a frame on which a vertical magnet storage tank and a horizontal slide are provided. The magnet storage tank is used to accommodate a number of magnets stacked together, and the magnet storage tank is connected to the slide.
[0006] The push rod is slidably disposed in the slide groove, and its top side is provided with a transfer groove that can accommodate only one magnet;
[0007] A fixture is located at one end of the slide groove and has a positioning groove for positioning the workpiece.
[0008] A suction element is disposed above the positioning groove of the fixture for attracting magnets;
[0009] A sliding drive assembly, fixed to the frame and connected to the push rod, is used to drive the push rod to reciprocate within the slide groove, so that the transfer groove is aligned with the magnet storage tank and the suction component;
[0010] A lifting drive assembly is fixed to the frame and connected to the suction component for driving the suction component to lift.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the interconnected design of the magnet storage tank and the chute realizes the automatic supply of magnets. The sliding drive component drives the push rod to slide, so that the transfer tank is aligned with the pick-up part and the workpiece to realize the automatic transportation of magnets. The transfer tank of the push rod can only accommodate one magnet, avoiding the jamming problem caused by processing multiple magnets at the same time, and ensuring that magnets are transported one by one stably. The fixture positions the workpiece, and the pick-up part automatically picks up and places the magnet, realizing the automatic installation of magnets, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0012] Preferably, the sliding drive assembly includes a first telescopic cylinder, which is arranged laterally and its drive shaft is connected and fixed to the end of the push rod away from the fixture. A sensing plate is provided on the drive shaft of the first cylinder, and a sensor is provided on the frame. The sensor is located on the moving path of the sensing plate and is used to sense the sensing plate. When the sensor senses the sensing plate, the first telescopic cylinder drives the push rod to position the transfer groove in alignment with the suction component.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first telescopic cylinder drives the push rod to move back and forth. The cooperation of the sensing plate and the sensor can monitor the position of the push rod, ensuring that the transfer slot is accurately aligned with the suction component, avoiding offset or misalignment during the magnet transmission process, and improving the reliability of the system.
[0014] Preferably, the sliding drive assembly includes a second telescopic cylinder, which is arranged vertically and has a drive shaft connected to a mounting block. The suction member is connected and fixed to the mounting block.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second telescopic cylinder provides a stable driving force, enabling the lifting and lowering of the suction component to press the magnet onto the workpiece and reset it.
[0016] Preferably, the frame is provided with a vertical slide rail, a slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the mounting block is connected and fixed to the slider.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the slide rail and the slider ensures that the suction component does not shake or shift during the lifting process, thus improving the accuracy of magnet suction and placement.
[0018] Preferably, the suction element is an electromagnet.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the electromagnet becomes magnetic when energized, attracting the magnet and transferring the magnet in the transfer groove of the push rod to the electromagnet. At the same time, the electromagnet is demagnetized when the power is turned off, causing the magnet to be pressed onto the workpiece and then separated from the magnet.
[0020] Preferably, the bottom end of the electromagnet is recessed with a magnetic groove for matching magnets.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic groove is aligned with the transfer groove to allow the magnet to be attracted into the magnetic groove. The magnetic groove restricts the position of the magnet, which makes the installation of the magnet more accurate and reduces the occurrence of material jamming.
[0022] Preferably, the fixture has a slot on its side wall, the frame has a stop block, the stop block has a pin that matches the slot, the pin is inserted into the slot, and the fixture abuts against the stop block.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the slot of the fixture is inserted into the post on the stop block, which ensures the fixed position of the fixture on the frame, makes the workpiece positioning more accurate, improves the consistency of magnet installation, and the insertion structure facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fixture, makes it easy to replace different types of fixtures, and enhances the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.
[0024] Preferably, the frame is provided with limit strips on opposite sides of the stop, and the fixture passes between the two limit strips to limit the fixture.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the two limiting strips restrict the fixture from opposite sides, so as to achieve precise matching between the fixture and the insert, which can reduce the fixture installation time.
[0026] The beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows: the interconnected design of the magnet storage tank and the chute realizes the automatic supply of magnets. The sliding drive component drives the push rod to slide, so that the transfer tank is aligned with the pick-up part and the workpiece to realize the automatic transportation of magnets. The transfer tank of the push rod can only accommodate one magnet, avoiding the jamming problem caused by processing multiple magnets at the same time, and ensuring that magnets are transported stably one by one. The fixture positions the workpiece, and the pick-up part automatically picks up and places the magnet, realizing the automatic installation of magnets, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 An automatic magnet-making machine includes a frame 1, a push rod 2, a fixture 3, a suction component 4, a sliding drive assembly 5, and a lifting drive assembly 6. The frame 1 includes a base plate 11 and a side plate 12 that is mounted on the base plate 11. A pad 13 is provided on one side of the side plate 12. A material passage block 14 is fixed on the pad 13. The top of the material passage block 14 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 141 arranged along its length. A storage column 15 is inserted into each connecting groove 141. Each storage column 15 is provided with a vertical magnet storage groove 151. The magnet storage groove 151 is a channel that passes through the storage column 15 and is used to accommodate a plurality of magnets stacked together. The magnets can move downward under the action of gravity. The material feeding block 14 is provided with multiple horizontal sliding grooves 142, which pass through the opposite sides of the material feeding block 14. Each sliding groove 142 is connected to a connecting groove 141, so that the magnet can fall from the bottom of the magnet storage groove 151 into the sliding groove 142 and realize multi-station simultaneous operation.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-3Each chute 142 has a push rod 2 slidably mounted within it. A transfer groove 21 is located on the top side of each push rod 2, its size limited to accommodating only one magnet to prevent jamming caused by multiple magnets processing simultaneously. A sliding drive assembly 5 is fixed to the pad 13 and connected to the push rod 2, driving the push rod 2 to reciprocate within the chute 142. Each push rod 2 is driven by a corresponding set of sliding drive assemblies 5. The sliding drive assembly 5 includes a first telescopic cylinder 51, arranged laterally, with its drive shaft fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 2. A sensing plate 52 is mounted on the drive shaft of the first telescopic cylinder 51, and a sensor 53 is mounted on the material handling block 14, positioned along the movement path of the sensing plate 52 to monitor the position of the push rod 2. When the sensor 53 detects the sensing plate 52, the first telescopic cylinder 51 drives the push rod 2 to precisely align the transfer groove 21 with the suction component 4, ensuring accurate magnet transmission.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixture 3 is located on the side of the side plate 12 away from the feed block 14. The fixture 3 has multiple positioning grooves 31 for positioning the workpiece. The number of positioning grooves 31 corresponds to the number of slides 142 and is aligned one-to-one with each slide 142, thus enabling synchronous installation of multiple magnets. The side wall of the fixture 3 has slots 32, and the base plate 11 has a stop block 16. The stop block 16 has a matching post 161. When the fixture 3 is installed, the post 161 is inserted into the slot 32, and the fixture 3 abuts against the stop block 16, ensuring the fixture 3 is fixed in position. The base plate 11 has limit strips 17 on opposite sides of the stop block 16. The fixture 3 passes between two limit strips 17, which limit the fixture 3, further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the fixture 3 installation and facilitating quick replacement of different models of fixture 3.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The suction element 4 is positioned above the positioning groove 31 of the fixture 3 and is used to suction magnets. The number of suction elements 4 corresponds to the number of positioning grooves 31 and they are aligned one-to-one. The suction element 4 is an electromagnet 41. The bottom end of the electromagnet 41 is recessed with a magnetic groove 42 to match the magnet. When the electromagnet 41 is energized, it generates magnetism and can suction magnets from the transfer groove 21. The design of the magnetic groove 42 restricts the position of the magnet, improves suction stability, and reduces jamming. A mounting plate 18 is provided on the top of the side plate 12 away from the pad plate 13. The mounting plate 18 is arranged horizontally, and the number of lifting drive components 6 matches the number of suction components 4. Each lifting drive component 6 is connected to a corresponding suction component 4. Multiple lifting drive components 6 are fixed on the mounting plate 18. Each lifting drive component 6 includes a second telescopic cylinder 61, which is arranged vertically and fixed to the top surface of the mounting plate 18. The mounting plate 18 has through holes for the drive shaft of the second telescopic cylinder 61 to pass through. The drive shaft of the second telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to a mounting block 62, and the suction component 4 is connected and fixed to the mounting block 62. Multiple vertical slide rails 63 are provided on the side plate 12. The number of slide rails 63 matches the number of lifting drive components 6, and a slider 64 is slidably connected to each slide rail 63. The mounting block 62 is connected and fixed to the slider 64 to ensure that the suction component 4 does not shake or shift during the lifting process, thereby improving the accuracy of magnet placement.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 The side plate 12 is provided with a slot 121 that runs through it, corresponding to the position of the material block 14. The slot 121 allows the push rod 2 to slide to the opposite side, so that the push rod 2 can move from the transfer position to the position of the alignment and suction member 4, thereby completing the transfer of the magnet.
[0040] The implementation principle of the automatic magnet-attaching machine of this application is as follows: Magnets are stacked in the magnet storage tank 151, and the bottom magnet falls into the transfer groove 21 of the push rod 2 under the action of gravity. The sliding drive assembly 5 drives the push rod 2 to move, and the sensing plate 52 and the sensor 53 adjust and ensure that the push rod 2 extends to the correct position, so that the transfer groove 21 moves from the position of the aligned magnet storage tank 151 to the position of the aligned suction member 4 and is picked up by the suction member 4. The stacked magnets are then dropped from the magnet storage tank 151 by the top surface of the push rod 2. The sliding drive assembly 5 then drives the push rod 2 back to its original position for material preparation. Subsequently, the lifting drive assembly 6 drives the suction member 4 to descend, pressing the magnet into the embedding groove on the workpiece. The electromagnet 41 is de-energized and demagnetized, releasing the magnet and completing the installation of the magnet. After the installation is completed, the lifting drive assembly 6 drives the suction member 4 to rise and reset, preparing for the next installation. The automatic unloading, conveying and installation of magnets in this application greatly improves production efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production. The entire system has a simple structure and stable operation, and the multi-station design further improves the installation speed.
