Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnet assembly equipment, in particular to a magnet separation device and an automatic glue dispensing machine. Background Art

[0002] Magnets have a fixed magnetic force and are widely used in various fields. For example, magnetic components such as magnets can be installed in portable mobile professional lighting work lamps. This allows the work lamps to be detachably hung or adsorbed into the work environment, improving the convenience and applicability of the product.

[0003] However, incoming magnets are typically stacked together to form a strip. Due to the mutual magnetic attraction, operators must manually separate the magnets one by one from the stacked strips before reassembling them. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to reattachment after separation, slowing down assembly and increasing labor intensity. Furthermore, the applied force can easily pinch fingers, causing injury to workers.

[0004] Although there are devices in the prior art for separating multiple mutually attracted magnets into individual pieces, since magnets have different shapes and sizes, the existing separation devices are usually only suitable for magnets of a single shape and size, which has certain limitations.

[0035] Example

[0036] Combine Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a magnetic separation device 23, including a platen 1, a separation box 2 arranged on the platen 1; and further including a first adjustment mechanism, a push rod 3, two material separation baffles 4 and a second adjustment mechanism;

[0037] A separation channel is formed between the table 1, the separation box 2 and the two material separation baffles 4; the first adjustment mechanism is used to drive the separation box 2 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the separation channel; the second adjustment mechanism is used to drive the two material separation baffles 4 to move closer to or away from each other to adjust the width of the separation channel; the push rod 3 is used to push out the magnet that falls into the separation channel in the separation box 2 to complete the separation of a single magnet.

[0038] The first adjusting mechanism drives the separation box 2 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the separation channel; the second adjusting mechanism drives the two material separation baffles 4 to move closer to or away from each other to adjust the width of the separation channel, thereby being suitable for the separation of magnets of different shapes and sizes.

[0039] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning block 5 is included, and a mounting through-hole 6 is provided on the positioning block 5; one end of the separation box 2 is detachably plugged into the mounting through-hole 6, and after plugging, the end face of one end of the separation box 2 is flush with the bottom end face of the positioning block 5. Through the provision of the positioning block 5, the separation box 2 equipped with magnets of different specifications can be quickly adapted. Specifically, a mounting portion 7 is provided at one end of the separation box 2, and the outer dimensions of the mounting portion 7 are smaller than the outer dimensions of the separation box 2, and are adapted to the mounting through-hole 6. The axis of the separation box 2 is a through hole, which is used to place a strip-shaped entity formed by stacking a plurality of magnet monomers, so that when the separation box 2 is installed on the positioning block 5, one end of the magnet of the strip-shaped entity can slide into the separation channel. The mounting portion 7 has a stepped surface 8 that corresponds to the upper end surface of the mounting through hole 6 to limit the installation of the separation box 2 and ensure that the end surface of the mounting portion 7 is flush with the bottom end surface of the positioning block 5 after the separation box 2 is installed. The first adjustment mechanism is used to drive the positioning block 5 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the separation channel to exactly match the height of the individual magnets, so that the push rod 3 can separate and push out the individual magnets.

[0040] Among them, the first adjustment mechanism includes a bracket 9 arranged under the table 1 and connected to both sides of the positioning block 5, and a screw assembly 10 for driving the bracket 9 to move in the vertical direction; the bracket 9 is in the shape of a U, and its two side plates are detachably connected to the two side edges of the positioning block 5 by bolts, and the middle part of the bottom plate is connected to the screw; the motor in the screw assembly 10 drives the screw to rotate, and then drives the bracket 9 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the width of the separation channel.

[0041] The second adjustment mechanism includes a first adapter block 11 arranged on both sides of the table 1 and connected to the two material distribution baffles 4 respectively, a bidirectional screw rod 12 connected to the two first adapter blocks 11, a slide rail 13 arranged on the table 1 for the first adapter block 11 to slide, and a driving member 14 connected to the bidirectional screw rod 12.

In this embodiment, the driving member 14 is a turntable, which is manually rotated to drive the bidirectional screw rod 12 to rotate, and then the bidirectional screw rod 12 drives the first adapter block 11 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby achieving the two material distribution baffles 4 to move closer to or away from each other, so as to achieve the change in the width of the separation channel to adapt to different magnet specifications. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving member 14 can also be connected to a motor, and the motor rotation drives the driving member 14 to rotate, and then drives the bidirectional screw rod 12 to rotate to achieve the change in the width of the separation channel.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, an L-shaped guide member 15 is further provided on the side of the positioning block 5 located at the separation outlet; its longitudinal portion is connected to the side of the positioning block 5, and its transverse portion is placed above the two material separation baffles 4. The provision of the L-shaped guide member 15 can reduce the magnetism between the two magnets when the magnets are pushed out, facilitating the separation of the magnets.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a third adjustment mechanism is also included for driving the push rod 3 to move within the separation channel; the third adjustment mechanism includes a second adapter block 16 connected to the push rod 3, and a first cylinder 17 that drives the second adapter block 16 to move. The push rod 3 includes a pushing portion 18 for pushing the magnet, and an adapter portion 19 connected to the pushing portion 18; the adapter portion 19 is provided with two elongated through-holes 20 in parallel; the adapter portion 19 is adjustably connected to the second adapter block 16 via bolts through the elongated through-holes 20, which can adjust the pushing distance of the push rod 3 to accommodate magnets of different lengths.

The magnet transfer device 24 is used to transfer individual magnets separated by the magnet separation device 23 to a station where the glue dispensing device 22 dispenses the glue. This allows for the automatic separation of individual magnets, which are then transferred to the glue dispensing station for automated glue dispensing. This saves time and effort, significantly reducing the workload for production personnel and preventing finger pinching during the magnet separation process, which could otherwise harm production personnel. Furthermore, automated glue dispensing allows for more uniform glue dispensing.

Specifically, the robotic arm 25 is a multi-axis robotic arm 25, which can perform multi-degree-of-freedom operations; the axis of the adsorption member 26 has a through hole, one end of which is connected to the second cylinder 28 and can move along the axis of the through hole driven by the second cylinder 28; the other end is the adsorption nozzle 30. An adsorption rod 27 is provided in the through hole, and the other end of the adsorption rod 27 is connected to the third cylinder 29, and can be moved in the through hole under the drive of the third cylinder 29. In the present embodiment, the adsorption rod 27 is an iron rod, which has magnetic properties and can adsorb a magnet when one end of the adsorption rod 27 approaches or extends out of the adsorption nozzle 30 of the adsorption component 26, and separates from the magnet when it is away from the adsorption nozzle 30, thereby realizing the transportation of the magnet. Of course, in other embodiments, the adsorption rod 27 can also be other rods with magnetic properties, or one end of the adsorption rod 27 can be set to have magnetic properties.

[0046] The dispensing device 22 is disposed on the gantry 31 and can move laterally along the gantry 31 and move up and down in the longitudinal direction.

[0047] It should be noted that a plurality of the magnet separation devices 23 can be provided on the workbench 21 of the automatic dispensing machine, and a plurality of adsorption mechanisms can be provided at one end of the robotic arm 25. The positions of the adsorption nozzles 30 of the plurality of adsorption mechanisms correspond to the positions of the single magnets separated by the plurality of separation devices, so as to achieve the synchronous separation and transfer of the plurality of magnets.
