Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, and in particular to an automated transfer device for processing high-performance magnetic materials. Background Technology

[0002] High-performance magnetic materials (such as neodymium iron boron and ferrite) have become core functional components in new energy, precision motors, and electronic communications due to their advantages such as high magnetic energy product and high coercivity. Their processing involves multiple steps, including forming, grinding, cleaning, testing, and assembly. Automated transfer between these steps is a key link in improving production efficiency and ensuring product consistency.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses belt conveyors and roller conveyors in conjunction with simple pallets to transfer materials. While this can meet basic conveying needs, it has significant technical limitations when facing the precision machining requirements of high-performance magnetic materials.

[0004] Traditional transfer equipment often uses fixed support and positioning structures, which can only accommodate materials of a single size and shape. They cannot meet the transfer requirements of two typical magnetic materials: cylindrical and sheet-like. Furthermore, for sheet-like materials, fixed-spacing supports can easily cause large-sized sheets to sag and deform in the middle, while small-sized sheets may be unstable. Moreover, there are no reliable limits on the material during transport, making it impossible to achieve automatic centering and positioning. This can easily lead to axial movement and radial offset, causing the robotic arm to deviate in its gripping and positioning, which in turn can cause problems such as out-of-tolerance dimensional errors and misaligned assembly in subsequent processing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-performance automated transfer device for processing magnetic materials, in order to solve the problem that the support and positioning structure of traditional transfer equipment can only be adapted to materials of a single specification and shape.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated transfer device for processing high-performance magnetic materials includes a frame and rollers assembled within the frame. A conveyor belt is mounted on multiple rollers. A geared motor with its output end connected to one of the rollers is installed on one side of the frame. Multiple variable support components are mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt. Each variable support component includes a positioning seat mounted on the conveyor belt. After being formed, the cylindrical magnetic material is stably placed on the surface of the conveyor belt by the support seat assembled on the surface of the positioning seat, and then transferred to the next process. The frame is equipped with a control component, which includes an upper mounting bracket fixed to the frame. An upper cylinder is mounted on one side of the upper mounting bracket. A support seat that moves to one side of the upper mounting bracket moves on the surface of the positioning seat via an upper push plate mounted on one end of the upper cylinder, so as to adapt to supporting sheet magnetic materials of different specifications.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The variable support assembly also includes a side limiting member. Slots are provided on both sides of the support base. The side limiting member is inserted into the slot. An upper mounting hole is provided on the bottom wall of the slot. An upper limiting ball is connected to the upper mounting hole by an upper spring. The side limiting member has multiple upper limiting holes that are adapted to the upper limiting ball.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The upper surface of the positioning seat is provided with a limiting groove, and a limiting slider connected to the top of the limiting slide is slidably connected in the limiting groove. A side mounting hole is provided on one side of the limiting slider. A side limiting ball is connected in the side mounting hole by a side spring. A plurality of side limiting holes adapted to the side limiting ball are provided on one side wall of the limiting groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The control assembly also includes a lower mounting bracket installed on one side of the lower surface of the frame, and a lower push plate is mounted on the lower mounting bracket via a lower cylinder.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: A support frame is installed on one side of the upper mounting bracket, and a positive and negative threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame. A positive threaded push rod and a negative threaded push rod are respectively threaded on both sides of the outer surface of the positive and negative threaded rod.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: A servo motor is installed on the outer wall of the support frame, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to one end of the forward and reverse threaded rod.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The forward threaded push rod and the reverse threaded push rod are both connected to two guide rods, and the two ends of the two guide rods are respectively connected to two support frames.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: An L-shaped return plate is fixed to the middle of one side of the side limiting member, and a guide seat is assembled on the side of the upper surface of the frame away from the upper mounting frame.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: By setting up variable support components, it is possible to adapt to the placement of cylindrical magnetic materials and the support requirements of sheet magnetic materials of different widths. After adjustment, it can support narrow sheet materials with small spacing and wide, easily deformable sheet materials with large spacing, avoiding sagging deformation in the middle or end of the material. One device can meet the transfer of magnetic materials of various specifications, greatly reducing the cost of equipment changeover. By utilizing the upper cylinder, upper push plate, lower cylinder, and lower push plate in the control components, in conjunction with the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor belt, the support seat can be moved back and forth along the limit slide along the online, realizing automatic adjustment of the support spacing; in conjunction with the positive and negative threaded screws, the positive threaded push rod, the negative threaded push rod and the servo motor, the side limit component can be automatically driven to move, eliminating the need for manual adjustment steps and improving the efficiency of continuous operation of the production line; By simultaneously pushing the L-shaped return plate with the forward and reverse threaded push rods, the side limiting parts on both sides can be driven to move towards the center in sync, so as to automatically center and clamp the cylindrical or sheet-like magnetic material, avoid the material from shifting or shaking during the conveying process, ensure the precise gripping position of the robot arm, and improve the accuracy of subsequent processing and assembly.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 - Figure 11 As shown, the present invention provides: An automated transfer device for processing high-performance magnetic materials includes a frame 10 and rollers 11 assembled in the frame 10. A conveyor belt 12 is mounted on multiple rollers 11. A geared motor with its output end connected to one of the rollers 11 is installed on one side of the frame 10. Multiple variable support components 20 are mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt 12. The variable support components 20 include positioning seats 21 mounted on the conveyor belt 12. After being formed, the cylindrical magnetic material is stably placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 12 by the support seat 22 assembled on the surface of the positioning seat 21, and then transferred to the next process.

[0019] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the variable support assembly 20 also includes a side limiting member 24. Slots are provided on both sides of the support base 22. The side limiting member 24 is inserted into the slot. An upper mounting hole is provided on the bottom wall of the slot. An upper limit ball post 25 is connected to the upper mounting hole by an upper spring. The side limiting member 24 has multiple upper limit holes that are adapted to the upper limit ball post 25. The upper surface of the positioning seat 21 is provided with a limiting groove, and a limiting slider connected to the top of the support seat 22 is slidably connected in the limiting groove. A side mounting hole is provided on one side of the limiting slider, and a side limiting ball post 23 is connected in the side mounting hole through a side mounting spring. A plurality of side limiting holes adapted to the side limiting ball post 23 are provided on one side wall of the limiting groove. Specifically, both ends of the limiting slide are detachably fixed with limiting plates to limit the movement range of the limiting slider. In particular, two depth grooves are opened on both sides of the positioning seat 21 and the support seat 22. The function of the depth groove is to adapt to the gripping position of the robot hand that grips columnar magnetic materials, so that after gripping the columnar magnetic materials completed in the previous process, it can easily place the material on the surface of the support seat 22. It should be noted that when the magnetic material is sheet-like, vacuum adsorption is often used to grip the material. The depth groove is only used for grippers that grip columnar magnetic materials. Specifically, after the columnar magnetic material is placed on the surface of the support base 22, the two side limiting members 24 are moved inward to abut against the end of the columnar magnetic material, thereby clamping the material and preventing it from shifting during the transfer process. When placing sheet-like magnetic material, it needs to be placed on the surface of two support bases 22. The sheet-like magnetic material is supported by the two support bases 22, and then the material is clamped by the side limiting members 24 on the two support bases 22 to ensure stability during the transfer process. After the side limiting member 24 moves, the upper spring drives the upper limit ball post 25 to insert into the upper limit hole at the corresponding position, so that the position of the side limiting member 24 can be fixed, preventing it from loosening during the process of moving with the conveyor belt 12, and ensuring that it has effective clamping force. Preferably, the inner side of the side limiting member 24 and the upper surface of the support seat 22 are provided with rubber pads to protect the magnetic material and reduce the wear on the material surface during contact.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, a control component 30 is mounted on the frame 10. The control component 30 includes an upper mounting bracket 31 fixed on the frame 10. An upper cylinder 32 is mounted on one side of the upper mounting bracket 31. The support seat 22, which moves to one side of the upper mounting bracket 31, moves on the surface of the positioning seat 21 via an upper push plate 33 mounted on one end of the upper cylinder 32, so as to adapt to supporting sheet magnetic materials of different specifications.

[0021] The control assembly 30 also includes a lower mounting bracket 34 mounted on one side of the lower surface of the frame 10, and a lower push plate 36 is mounted on the lower mounting bracket 34 via a lower cylinder 35; Specifically, when used for transferring columnar magnetic materials, the support 22 remains aligned with the positioning base 21, such as... Figure 10 As shown; when used to transfer sheet-like magnetic materials, two supports 22 form a group to support the sheet-like magnetic materials. When the span of a group of supports 22 is greater than the width of the sheet-like magnetic materials, the two supports 22 in the group need to be moved forward and backward respectively, so that the two supports 22 are closer to each other to accommodate the width of the sheet-like magnetic materials. At the same time, the two supports 22 in the two connected groups that are close to each other are moved away from each other. At this time, these two supports 22 can also cope with the situation that the width of the sheet-like magnetic materials is greater than the initial span, but the ends are prone to deformation during support, so as to ensure that the supports 22 are located near the edge of the lower surface of the material (for example, if the sheet-like magnetic materials are divided into five parts a, b, c, d, and e, c is the middle part, and the position of the supports 22 after displacement is b, ...). d, which ensures both support for the sheet-like magnetic material and prevents downward deformation in the middle and at both ends of the sheet-like material. It should be noted that, taking four support seats 22 as an example, these four support seats 22 are labeled B, C, D, and E respectively. When applied to situations where the span is greater than the width of the material, BC and DE are grouped together. In this case, when adjusting the position, B and D need to be moved forward (in the same direction as the material conveying direction), and C and E need to be moved backward (in the opposite direction to the material conveying direction). At this time, BC and DE are brought closer to each other to accommodate materials with a small width. Based on this adjustment, C and D are moved further apart. When applied to situations where the span is less than the width of the material, CD can be grouped together to accommodate materials with a large width and easy deformation at both ends during support. Grouping methods are similar. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of each set of support seats 22, and when it is necessary to adjust one of the supports in each set forward, the roller shaft 11 is controlled by the reduction motor to drive the conveyor belt 12 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the support seat 22 will move backward with the conveyor belt 12. Just before the support seat 22 is about to approach the upper push plate 33 and the lower push plate 36, the upper cylinder 32 and the lower cylinder 35 push the upper push plate 33 and the lower push plate 36 to approach the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 12 respectively. When the support seat 22 continues to move, it will contact the push plate, thereby driving the support seat 22 to slide on the positioning seat 21 under the restriction of the push plate, thus completing the forward adjustment operation. (It should be noted that when rotating counterclockwise, the support seat 22 located below the conveyor belt 12 will move backward, but when it rotates to the top, its movement direction is the same as that of the support seat 22 above.) After one of the support seats 22 in a set has completed the movement, the push plate is reset, and the next set will move to the front of the push plate and repeat the above operation, so that one of the support seats 22 in each set has completed the forward adjustment. Next, the position of the other support seat 22 in each group is adjusted backward. At this time, the conveyor belt 12 is controlled to rotate clockwise. When the support seat 22 to be adjusted is about to move in front of the push plate, the upper push plate 33 and the lower push plate 36 are pushed close to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 12 by the upper cylinder 32 and the lower cylinder 35 respectively. When the support seat 22 continues to move, it will contact the push plate, thereby driving the support seat 22 to slide on the positioning seat 21 under the restriction of the push plate, completing the backward adjustment operation. (It should be noted that when rotating counterclockwise, the support seat 22 located below the conveyor belt 12 will move forward, but when it rotates to the top, its movement direction is the same as that of the support seat 22 above.) When one of the support seats 22 in a group has completed the movement, the push plate is reset, and the next group will move in front of the push plate and repeat the above operation, so that one support seat 22 in each group has completed the backward adjustment. At this time, the subsequent placement operation can be carried out. Finally, it should be noted that when the support seat 22 slides forward or backward, the side spring will drive the side limiting ball 23 to engage in the corresponding side limiting hole, thereby fixing the position of the slidable support seat 22.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a support frame is installed on one side of the upper mounting frame 31, and a forward and reverse threaded rod 37 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame. A forward threaded push rod 38 and a reverse threaded push rod 39 are respectively threaded on both sides of the outer surface of the forward and reverse threaded rod 37. A servo motor 310 is installed on the outer wall of the support frame, and the output end of the servo motor 310 is connected to one end of the forward and reverse threaded rod 37. Two guide rods are inserted into the forward threaded push rod 38 and the reverse threaded push rod 39, and the two ends of the two guide rods are respectively connected to the two support frames. An L-shaped return plate 311 is fixed in the middle of one side of the side limiting member 24. A guide seat 312 is installed on the side of the upper surface of the frame 10 away from the upper mounting frame 31. In particular, the guide rods are set to ensure that when the forward and reverse threaded rod 37 rotates, the forward threaded push rod 38 and the reverse threaded push rod 39 will not rotate with the threaded rod, but will move along the guide rods. Specifically, after the cylindrical or sheet-like magnetic material is placed on the surface of the support base 22, when it moves forward under the action of the conveyor belt 12 until the side limiting members 24 on both sides of the support base 22 correspond to the push rod, the servo motor 310 is started to drive the positive and negative threaded rods 37 to rotate, so that the positive thread push rod 38 and the negative thread push rod 39 approach each other and abut against the L-shaped return plate 311. During the process of approaching, the L-shaped return plate 311 pushes the side limiting members 24 on both sides to gradually contact the two ends of the magnetic material, so that the magnetic material is fixed in the center on the support base 22. There is no need to position the middle position of the magnetic material when it is gripped by the robot later. After the operation is completed, the push rod position is reset. For the clamping of sheet-like magnetic materials, the side limiting members 24 on the two support bases 22 are moved separately. When the clamped magnetic material is conveyed forward by the conveyor belt 12 to the next process, the L-shaped return plate 311 will gradually move to one end of the guide seat 312 just before it arrives. At this time, during the continued movement, under the action of the guide seat 312 which is fixed and inclined, the L-shaped return plate 311 will drive the side limiting member 24 to move outward along the guide seat 312, gradually releasing the clamping of the material. At this time, the material can be taken away by the robot arm before the next process and put into the equipment of the next process.

[0023] Specifically, this automated transfer equipment for processing high-performance magnetic materials operates / is used as follows: 1. Equipment initialization and support spacing adjustment Based on the shape and specifications of the magnetic material to be transferred, the geared motor is started to drive the roller shaft 11, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 12. If the spacing between the support seats 22 needs to be reduced, control the conveyor belt 12 to rotate counterclockwise, the upper cylinder 32 and the lower cylinder 35 extend respectively, push the upper push plate 33 and the lower push plate 36 close to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 12, so that the support seats 22 that have passed are pushed and move forward along the limiting slide groove on the positioning seat 21, and the side spring drives the side limiting ball column 23 to be inserted into the corresponding side limiting hole to complete the positioning. If the spacing between the support seats 22 needs to be increased, control the conveyor belt 12 to rotate clockwise, and use the upper push plate 33 and the lower push plate 36 to push the corresponding support seat 22 to move backward and lock it, thus completing the sheet material support layout. 2. Transfer and use of cylindrical magnetic materials The cylindrical magnetic material is placed on the support base 22 by the robot arm, and the depth groove provides clearance for the robot arm; the servo motor 310 is started to drive the forward and reverse threaded rods 37 to rotate, so that the forward threaded push rod 38 and the reverse threaded push rod 39 move towards each other, pushing the L-shaped return plate 311 to move the side limit member 24 inward, and the upper spring drives the upper limit ball column 25 to engage with the corresponding upper limit hole, clamping the cylindrical material in the center; the geared motor continuously drives the conveyor belt 12 to transport the material to the next process; 3. Transfer and use of sheet-like magnetic materials Two sets of support seats 22 are used as a group. Sheet magnetic material is placed on the two sets of support seats 22. The side limiting members 24 on the corresponding support seats 22 are controlled to move to clamp and limit the side of the sheet material to prevent it from shifting during the conveying process. Then the conveyor belt 12 completes the transfer.

[0024] 4. Automatic clamping and unloading Before the material is conveyed to the unloading station by the conveyor belt 12, the L-shaped return plate 311 slides along the guide seat 312, causing the side limiter 24 to move outward automatically to release the clamp; the next process robot directly takes away the material, completing an automated transfer process.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
