Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magic cube production equipment, in particular to a full-automatic assembly machine for magic cube edges. Background Art
[0002] The magnetic Rubik's Cube is a Rubik's Cube that has strong magnets in it and uses the magnetism of the magnets to position the cube correctly. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic edge block 100 is assembled from two edge block petals 110 with the same structure. Two magnet mounting seats 111 are arranged on the edge block petals 110, and a magnet 120 needs to be installed in each magnet mounting seat 111. During actual assembly, it is necessary to correspondingly install the two magnets 120 in the three magnet mounting seats 111 arranged on the edge block petals 110, and then assemble the two edge block petals 110 with the same structure together to form a complete edge block 100. Due to the complex structure, manual assembly is generally adopted in the prior art, that is, the magnet 120 is manually placed on the two magnet mounting seats 111 arranged on the edge block petals 110, and then the two edge block petals 110 are combined together. Manual operation is not only inefficient, but also often results in missing assembly, and the assembly quality cannot be guaranteed, which has become increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of modern production.

[0005] In the above technical solution, during actual operation, the turntable drive motor in the turntable mechanism drives the turntable body to rotate counterclockwise. When the edge block petal clamp in the turntable mechanism rotates to the first edge block petal loading station, the first edge block petal loading mechanism loads the first edge block petal onto the edge block petal clamp set on the turntable mechanism, and then the turntable mechanism drives the edge block petal clamp to continuously rotate to the first magnetizing station, the first magnetizing mechanism presses the first magnet into the first magnet mounting seat of the edge block petal, and then the turntable mechanism drives the edge block petal clamp to rotate to the second magnetizing station, and the second magnetizing mechanism presses the second magnet into the first magnet mounting seat of the edge block petal. It is pressed into the second magnet mounting seat of the edge block petal, and then rotated to the second edge block petal loading station. The second edge block petal loading mechanism assembles the second edge block petal on the first edge block petal that has been installed with the magnet, and then rotated to the finished product inspection station. The finished product inspection mechanism detects whether the two magnets are installed in place. If the assembly quality inspection is qualified, it is rotated to the finished product unloading mechanism for finished product unloading.

If the assembly quality inspection is unqualified, it is directly rotated to the defective unloading mechanism for defective unloading. After unloading, the edge block petal fixture is then rotated to the first edge block petal loading station for the next repeated operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
