[0043] To facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood through the specific circumstances.

[0045] like Figure 1-2As shown, the present invention provides a neodymium iron boron diffusion mixing device, including a fixed frame 1 and a mixing rack 2 slidably fitted within the fixed frame 1; the fixed frame 1 serves as the supporting base of the entire device and has a rectangular frame structure; the mixing rack 2 adopts a double-layer grid structure with seven rows and seven columns, totaling 49 grids; the grid is used to snap the mixing tanks together, and one snap-fit ​​can simultaneously mix the neodymium iron boron and heavy rare earth raw materials in the 49 mixing tanks; the two layers of mixing rack 2 are fixedly welded together by four connecting plates 3; a driving device is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, which is used to drive the mixing rack 2 to slide up and down along the fixed frame 1 for mixing; the sides of the connecting plates 3 are fixedly welded with sliding shafts 4 by fixing ears 5; the fixed frame 1 has vertical mounting beams 6 on both sides, and the mounting beams 6 are fixed to the fixed frame 1 with sliding connecting plates 7 (welded or bolted together), and sliding sleeves 8 are installed on the sliding connecting plates 7, with the sliding shafts 4 fitting into the sliding sleeves 8 on both sides.

[0046] In the NdFeB diffusion mixing device, when the drive device is started, the power it generates is transmitted to the mixing frame 2, which drives the mixing frame 2 to slide up and down along the vertical direction of the fixed frame 1. The mixing tanks that are locked in the grid of the mixing frame 2 move synchronously with the mixing frame 2. During the up and down sliding process, the NdFeB and heavy rare earth raw materials in the tanks generate relative motion due to inertia and displacement changes, thereby realizing the mixing of raw materials. The double-layer grid structure design realizes the synchronous installation and mixing of 49 mixing tanks.

[0047] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the drive device is located at the bottom of the fixed frame 1. The drive device includes a drive motor 9 and a floating mechanism connected to the drive device. Two motor beams 10 are provided opposite each other at the bottom of the fixed frame 1. The drive motor 9 is welded and fixed to the motor beams 10 through a motor support 11, and its output shaft extends horizontally. The floating mechanism includes a circular rotating plate 12. A drive shaft 13 is welded to the center of one side of the circular rotating plate 12. The drive shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 9 through a coupling. The other end of the rotating plate 12 is welded and fixed to an eccentric shaft 14. The eccentric shaft 14 is located at the non-center of the rotating plate 12. A swing plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the mixing rack 2. Two swing ears 16 are provided opposite each other on the swing plate 15. A swing sliding shaft 17 is horizontally welded between the swing ears 16. One end of the support arm 18 is rotatably engaged with the eccentric shaft 14 through a rotating sleeve 19. The eccentric shaft 14 has a limiting structure to limit the rotating sleeve 19. The other end of the support arm 18 is slidably engaged with the swing sliding shaft 17 through a sliding ring 20.

[0048] The drive motor 9 drives the circular rotating plate 12 to rotate around the central axis of the drive shaft 13; the eccentric shaft 14 at the other end of the rotating plate 12 moves in a circular motion with the rotating plate 12, and the sliding ring 20 slides back and forth on the swing sliding shaft 17, while pushing the mixing rack 2 to slide back and forth vertically along the fixed frame 1; the back and forth sliding generated by the eccentric drive makes the 49 mixing tanks move up and down in a regular manner in sync, and the raw materials in the tanks fall, collide and convection due to inertia, which promotes the full mixing of neodymium iron boron and heavy rare earth raw materials.

[0049] Considering that the mixing rack 2 still exerts pressure on the motor shaft of the drive motor 9 when the device is not in use; to solve this problem, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating plate 12 and the eccentric shaft 14 are connected by a plug-in joint. The rotating plate 12 is provided with a plug-in shaft 21 with a non-circular cross-section. This application takes a hexagonal shape as an example. The end of the eccentric shaft 14 is provided with a plug-in groove 22 corresponding to the plug-in shaft 21. The plug-in shaft 21 can fit into the plug-in groove 22. The end of the plug-in shaft 21 is provided with a magnet. Figure 6-7 As shown, the drive motor 9 and the bottom of the fixed frame 1 are connected by a sliding fit; two motor sliding shafts 23 are provided opposite each other at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, the drive motor 9 is fixed to the upper side of the motor slide plate 24 by the motor support 11, the lower side of the motor slide plate 24 is connected to the motor sliding shafts 23 by a sliding sleeve, and the bottom of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a motor push rod 25; the bottom of the fixed frame 1 is provided with an n-shaped cross-section support beam frame 26, and a rectangular cross-section support beam column 27 is slidably fitted on the support beam frame 26. A support pad 28 is provided on the upper side of the support beam column 27, and the support pad 28 is used to adjust the mixing when the machine is stopped. The material rack 2 provides support; support rollers 29 are provided on the lower side of the support beam 27; push block sliding shafts 30 are provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 1, and support push blocks 31 are slidably fitted on the push block sliding shafts 30. The upper surface of the support push blocks 31 is a zigzag shape with parallel ends; a beam column limiting plate 32 is provided at the lower end of the support beam 27, and a beam column spring 33 passes through the support beam 27. The beam column spring 33 is locked between the beam column limiting plate 32 and the support beam frame 26; the beam column spring 33 is in a compressed state, and the beam column spring 33 is used to force the support rollers 29 to contact the upper surface of the support push blocks 31; Figure 8 As shown; a slide collar 34 is provided on the lower side of the motor slide 24, and a clutch drive shaft 35 is slidably fitted on the slide collar 34; the push head of the motor push rod 25 passes through the fixing frame 1 and is fixed to one end of the clutch drive shaft 35, and the other end of the clutch drive shaft 35 passes through the slide collar 34 and is fixed to the first clutch drive plate 36; a second clutch drive plate 37 is provided on the shaft of the clutch drive shaft 35; a clutch drive spring 38 passes through the clutch drive shaft 35, and the clutch drive spring 38 is stuck between the second clutch drive plate 37 and the slide collar 34; an n-shaped cross-section support pusher 39 is welded and fixed on the first clutch drive plate 36, and the two ends of the support pusher 39 are respectively fixed to the side of the support pusher block 31.

[0050] like Figure 9 As shown; during use, the motor push rod 25 extends, the second clutch drive plate 37 drives the clutch drive spring 38 to move laterally, and the clutch drive spring 38 pushes the slide collar 34 to force the motor slide plate 24 to move; the plug shaft 21 is inserted into the plug slot 22 to realize power transmission; the first clutch drive plate 36 drives the support push block 31 to slide through the support push frame 39. During the process of the plug shaft 21 being inserted into the plug slot 22, the first section of the plane of the support push block 31 provides support for the support roller 29, and the support pad 28 contacts the bottom surface of the mixing rack 2 and provides support. Support force; then the motor push rod 25 continues to extend, the clutch drive shaft 35 slides relative to the slide collar 34, the second clutch drive plate 37 squeezes the clutch drive spring 38; the support push frame 39 pushes the support push block 31 to slide along the push block slide shaft 30; under the pressure of the beam column spring 33, the support roller 29 closely fits the second section plane of the support push block 31, the support pad 28 is lower than the bottom surface of the mixing rack 2 and does not bear the support function; the mixing rack 2 can slide up and down in the vertical direction along the fixed frame 1 to mix materials.

[0051] When the device stops, the control motor push rod 25 retracts, the support push frame 39 drives the support push block 31 to slide along the push block slide shaft 30, and the support roller 29 rises along the folded surface, overcoming the pressure of the beam column spring 33 and pushing the support beam column 27 upward, so that the support pad 28 contacts the bottom surface of the mixing rack 2 and provides support force, transferring the weight of the mixing rack 2 to the support beam frame 26 structure; then the motor push rod 25 continues to retract, the first clutch drive plate 36 contacts the slide plate collar 34, the first clutch drive plate 36 drives the motor slide plate 24 to move backward along the motor slide shaft 23 through the slide plate collar 34, so that the insertion shaft 21 of the rotating plate 12 gradually disengages from the insertion slot 22 of the eccentric shaft 14 until it is completely separated; thus eliminating the axial pressure on the motor bearing when the device stops.

[0052] The combination design of the non-circular plug shaft 21 and the magnet ensures stable power transmission while enabling rapid clutch engagement. The sliding cooperation between the motor slide plate 24 and the motor slide shaft 23, combined with the linkage mechanism of the clutch drive shaft 35 and the clutch drive spring 38, ensures the separation of the drive motor 9 from the eccentric shaft 14 when the machine stops. The folded surface of the support push block 31, in cooperation with the support roller 29 and the beam column spring 33, can bear the weight of the mixing rack 2 when the machine stops without additional control. This effectively avoids the drive motor 9 shaft system from bearing static loads for a long time, improving the mechanical life and operational reliability of the equipment.

[0053] To further enhance the mixing effect when the mixing rack 2 moves up and down, such as Figure 10As shown, a semi-circular cross-section tank fixing plate 41 is fixed within the grid of the mixing rack 2 by a floating spring 40. Two arc-shaped magnets 42 are embedded on the upper surface of the tank fixing plate 41. The arc-shaped magnets 42 are used to attract the mixing tank into the tank fixing plate 41. The two arc-shaped magnets 42 on the upper surface of the tank fixing plate 41 use magnetic attraction force to stably fix the mixing tank in the fixing plate. When the mixing rack 2 moves up and down, the floating spring 40 is periodically compressed and stretched with the movement of the mixing rack 2, which drives the tank fixing plate 41 and the mixing tank to not only reciprocate as a whole in the vertical direction, but also generate high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration based on the elastic deformation of the spring. Through the above structural design, the elastic support characteristics of the floating spring 40 enable the mixing tank to form a composite motion mode of "rigid adsorption + elastic floating" in the reciprocating motion. The floating spring 40 transforms the linear motion of the mixing rack 2 into multi-dimensional vibration of the tank, increasing the mixing effect of the material in the tank.

[0054] like Figure 11 As shown, the side of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a transverse movement mechanism 43. The transverse movement mechanism 43 can be an existing belt slide rail type transverse movement mechanism or a railcar type transverse movement mechanism. The upper side of the transverse movement mechanism 43 is provided with a unloading robotic arm 44. The execution end of the unloading robotic arm 44 is provided with an unloading clamping mechanism, which is used to remove the mixing tanks after mixing as a whole in a row; Figure 12 As shown, the unloading clamping mechanism includes an n-shaped cross-section clamping base 45 and an arc-shaped electromagnet 46 located on the lower side of the clamping base 45. The number of arc-shaped electromagnets 46 corresponds vertically to the grid of the mixing rack 2. The arc-shaped electromagnets 46 are used to attract the upper surface of the mixing tank. The unloading robotic arm 44 removes the mixed tank from the tank fixing plate 41. A control base plate 47 is provided on the lower surface of the clamping base 45, and a connecting base plate 48 is provided on the upper side of the clamping base 45. The execution end of the unloading robotic arm 44 is rigidly connected to the connecting base plate 48. A tank cylinder 49 and a separation cylinder 51 are sequentially provided on the control base plate 47. The push head of the tank cylinder 49 passes through the control base plate 47 and is fixed to the tank push plate 50. The tank push plate 50 is used to push... At the end of the mixing tank, the tank body is opened; the pusher of the separation cylinder 51 passes through the control base plate 47 and is fixed to the separation push plate 52; the mixing tank includes a cylindrical cavity tank body 53, which is made of iron; the bottom of the tank body 53 has an opening, and the upper end of the tank body 53 is slidably fitted with a tank shaft 54, and a cover 55 is provided on the lower side of the tank shaft 54; the cover 55 includes a conical part and a cylindrical part, the cylindrical part is used to close the bottom opening of the tank body 53, and the conical part is used to guide the material when the cover 55 is opened; the upper side of the tank shaft 54 ​​extends out of the tank body 53 and is fixed to the opening plate 56, and a tank body spring 57 passes through the tank shaft 54 ​​between the opening plate 56 and the tank body 53, the tank body spring 57 is used to force the cover 55 to close the bottom opening of the tank body 53.

[0055] After mixing is completed, the lateral movement mechanism 43 drives the unloading robot arm 44 to move to the front of the mixing rack 2, and the arc-shaped electromagnet 46 of the unloading clamping mechanism is aligned with the upper surface of the mixing tank. When the arc-shaped electromagnet 46 is energized, it uses magnetic attraction to stably attract the upper surface of the mixing tank to the lower side of the clamping base 45. Then the unloading robot arm 44 is lifted, and the row of mixing tanks is separated from the tank fixing plate 41 by the attraction force of the arc-shaped electromagnet 46. When the lateral movement mechanism 43 drives the unloading robot arm 44 to move to the unloading position, the tank cylinder 49 is activated, and its pusher pushes the tank push plate 50 to move forward. The tank push plate 50 acts on the opening plate 56 on the tank shaft 54, compressing the tank spring 57 on the tank shaft 54, so that the tank shaft 54 ​​drives the cover 55 to move downward. The columnar part of the cover 55 is separated from the bottom opening of the tank body 53, and the conical part is gradually exposed and guides the material in the tank to be discharged along the conical part.

[0056] The direct separation of the mixing tank by the arc-shaped electromagnet 46 will stretch the floating spring 40. When the mixing tank finally separates from the tank fixing plate 41, the tank fixing plate 41 will collide with the mixing rack 2 under the action of the floating spring 40. Over time, this will cause damage to both the floating spring 40 and the tank fixing plate 41. To solve this problem, such as... Figure 13-14 As shown, a separation shaft 58 is slidably fitted on the mixing rack 2. One side of the separation shaft 58 is fixed to the separation driven plate 59, and the other side of the separation shaft 58 is fixed by the separation connecting plate 60. A guide block 61 is provided between the two mixing racks 2. The guide block 61 is located on the lower side of the tank fixing plate 41. An L-shaped guide channel 62 is opened on the guide block 61. One end of the separation rope 63 is connected to the lower side of the tank fixing plate 41. The other end of the separation rope 63 passes through the guide channel 62 and is fixed to the side of the separation connecting plate 60. The separation push plate 52 presses the separation driven plate 59, and the separation connecting plate 60 pulls the separation rope 63, thereby driving the tank fixing plate 41 to move downward, so that the tank fixing plate 41 is separated from the mixing tank.

[0057] like Figure 15As shown, when the arc-shaped electromagnet 46 of the unloading clamping mechanism adsorbs the upper surface of the mixing tank, the separation cylinder 51 extends, driving the separation push plate 52 to move synchronously and press the separation driven plate 59, causing the separation shaft 58, which is fixed to the separation driven plate 59, to slide along the mixing frame 2, and drive the separation rope 63 to move through the separation connecting plate 60; the separation rope 63 drives the tank fixing plate 41 to move downward against the elastic force of the floating spring 40, so that the tank fixing plate 41 separates from the mixing tank; when the arc-shaped electromagnet 46 adsorbs the mixing tank upward and separates, the tank fixing plate 41 is already controlled. As the unloading robot arm 44 moves downward, the separation cylinder 51 extends, keeping the separation driven plate 59 under continuous pressure. When the mixing tank moves out of the mixing rack 2, the separation cylinder 51 is retracted and extended. Through the mechanical linkage of the separation push plate 52, the separation driven plate 59, the separation shaft 58 and the separation rope 63, the adsorption action of the unloading clamping mechanism is combined with the displacement control of the tank fixing plate 41. This avoids the impact problem of the sudden release after the floating spring 40 is stretched in the original structure, and there is no rigid impact between the tank fixing plate 41 and the mixing rack 2.

[0058] During the process of unloading material from the mixing tank to the sintering tank, the problem of material sticking can easily occur; for example... Figure 16-17 As shown, anti-sticking units are provided on both sides of the clamping base 45. The anti-sticking units are connected to the execution end of the unloading robot arm 44 through the switching unit. The anti-sticking units are used to generate oscillations in the clamping base 45 to prevent sticking during unloading of the mixing tank. The switching unit is used to switch between rigidity and flexibility to avoid the oscillations being transmitted to the unloading robot arm 44 and causing the unloading robot arm 44 to alarm.

[0059] like Figure 18-20As shown, the anti-adhesion unit includes an anti-adhesion base frame 64 with an n-shaped cross-section and a rotating base plate 65 fixed to the anti-adhesion base frame 64. The rotating base plate 65 has an O-shaped cross-section. A reciprocating driven shaft 66 is slidably fitted on the anti-adhesion base frame 64. One side of the reciprocating driven shaft 66 is fixed to the side of the clamping base 45, and the other end of the reciprocating driven shaft 66 passes through the anti-adhesion base frame 64 and is fixed to a reciprocating limiting plate 67. A reciprocating spring 68 passes through the reciprocating driven shaft 66 between the reciprocating limiting plate 67 and the anti-adhesion base frame 64. A conversion fixing plate 69 is provided on both sides of the rotating base plate 65. A rotating shaft 70 is provided on one side of the rotating base plate 65. The rotating shaft 70 and the L-shaped conversion fixing plate 69 are rotatably fitted by bearings. An anti-adhesion drive motor 71 and a conversion cylinder 72 are provided on the other side of the conversion fixing plate 69. The push head of the conversion cylinder 72 passes through the conversion fixing plate 69 and the L-shaped cross-section. A cross-section conversion pressure frame 73 is fixed and used to press against the side of the rotating base plate 65 to restrict the rotation of the rotating base plate 65. A reciprocating drive shaft 74 is rotatably fitted on the rotating base plate 65 on the corresponding side of the anti-stick drive motor 71. The motor shaft of the anti-stick drive motor 71 is fixed to one end of the reciprocating drive shaft 74 through a coupling. The other end of the reciprocating drive shaft 74 is fixed to the drive ring sleeve 75. The end of the drive ring sleeve 75 is provided with a semi-circular cross-section drive groove 76. A swinging pin 77 is provided between the reciprocating limiting plates 67 on the corresponding side of the drive ring sleeve 75. The swinging pin 77 is locked in the drive groove 76. A ratchet gear 78 is keyed to the reciprocating drive shaft 74. A ratchet clip 79 is rotatably fitted on the rotating base plate 65 through a torsion spring. The ratchet clip 79 is pressed onto the ratchet gear 78. The rotation of the reciprocating drive shaft 74 drives the ratchet gear 78 to rotate.

[0060] The switching unit includes a switching frame 80, the middle of which is fixed to the execution end of the unloading robotic arm 44. Cylinder ears are provided on both sides of the switching frame 80, and switching cylinders 81 are mounted on the cylinder ears. The push head of the switching cylinder 81 passes through the cylinder ear and is fixed to the switching pressure plate 82. A ring is provided on the other side of the switching pressure plate 82. A tapered protrusion 83 is provided on the upper side of the conversion fixing plate 69, and the upper side of the tapered protrusion 83 is connected to the cylinder ear via a switching rope 84. The switching rope 84 passes through the ring. During displacement, the switching cylinder 81 drives the switching pressure plate 82 to press against the upper side of the conversion fixing plate 69 to form a rigid support. During vibration discharge, the switching cylinder 81 drives the switching pressure plate 82 to retract, forming a flexible connection through the switching rope 84 to prevent the unloading robotic arm 44 from triggering an alarm.

[0061] The arc-shaped electromagnet 46 adsorbs the mixing tank. After the mixing tank separates from the tank fixing plate 41, the lateral movement mechanism 43 drives the unloading robot arm 44 to move to the unloading position. During this process, the anti-stick drive motor 71 drives the reciprocating drive shaft 74 to rotate clockwise, causing the ratchet 78 keyed to the shaft to rotate synchronously. Under the action of the ratchet latch 79, the rotating base plate 65 rotates as a whole, thereby driving the clamping base 45 to rotate as a whole. During the rotation, the mixing tank rotates axially, reducing the adhesion of the internal mixture. When the lateral movement mechanism 43 drives the unloading robot arm 44 to move to the unloading position, the opening of the changing tank faces downward. The switching cylinder 81 retracts, the switching pressure plate 82 disengages from the conical protrusion 83, and at this time the switching rope 8... 4. A flexible connection is formed through the ring sleeve; the extension of the conversion cylinder 72 and the conversion pressure frame 73 are used to press on the side of the rotating base plate 65 to restrict the rotation of the rotating base plate 65; the anti-stick drive motor 71 drives the reciprocating drive shaft 74 to rotate counterclockwise, the ratchet 79 does not restrict the ratchet gear 78, the reciprocating drive shaft 74 rotates relative to the rotating base plate 65, driving the drive ring sleeve 75 to rotate, its semi-circular drive groove 76 cooperates with the swing pin 77, when the drive ring sleeve 75 rotates, the swing pin 77 slides along the inner wall of the groove, pushes the reciprocating limit plate 67 to drive the reciprocating driven shaft 66 to make reciprocating linear motion in the anti-stick base frame 64, thereby driving the unloading clamping mechanism to reciprocate and vibrate synchronously, and the mixing tank is discharged through the reciprocating vibration.

[0062] A second aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing grain boundary diffusion, comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Cut the prepared NdFeB blank into finished NdFeB products of the specified dimensions.

[0064] Step 2: Using a neodymium iron boron diffusion mixing device, the neodymium iron boron products of the finished specifications and sizes are coated with a fixed proportion of heavy rare earth raw materials to obtain products with added heavy rare earth.

[0065] Step 3: The product with added heavy rare earth elements is loaded into a high vacuum sintering furnace for grain boundary diffusion treatment.

[0066] Conventional grain boundary diffusion preparation methods involve processing large sheets → grain boundary diffusion → processing finished products. The entire process, from raw material to finished product, is completed intermittently in two stages, making the process complex and resulting in long product delivery times. The grain boundary diffusion preparation method proposed in this application eliminates post-diffusion processing, reducing the impact on product quality and better meeting customers' demands for high Br and high Hcj permanent magnets. At the same time, it reduces material input and costs, minimizes grinding and machining without damaging the magnet structure, and results in permanent magnets with good quality consistency, high temperature resistance, and a high pass rate. It also reduces the input of heavy rare earth raw materials, minimizing waste.

[0067] Unless otherwise specified, the above methods of fixing all use common technical means employed by industry professionals, such as welding, nesting, or threaded fixing.
