Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnet technology, and in particular to a magnet separation device. Background Technology

[0002] A magnet is an object that can generate a magnetic field and possesses magnetism. Currently, commercially available artificial magnets are made by using a magnetizing machine to infuse metal materials with magnetism. They can be cut into blocks, sheets, strips, etc., as needed. After cutting, the edges or surfaces of the magnets may be damaged or cracked, so the magnets must be sorted after cutting.

[0003] In current technology, magnets are manually sorted, but due to their strong magnetic force, they are difficult to separate. This process is both laborious and dangerous for production workers, increasing their workload and resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnet separation device to solve the technical problem that the current technology relies on manual sorting of magnets, which increases the labor intensity of production personnel and leads to low work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a magnet separation device, which includes:

[0006] A support platform is provided with a first baffle and a second baffle, which are spaced apart along the length of the support platform. The first baffle, the second baffle, and the support platform together form a receiving cavity for accommodating a plurality of stacked magnets. The first baffle has a gap with the support platform to form an inlet to the receiving cavity, and the second baffle has a gap with the support platform to form an outlet to the receiving cavity.

[0007] A drive mechanism, disposed on the support platform, includes a pusher for inserting and pushing a single magnet from the inlet of the receiving cavity to separate the single magnet from the outlet of the receiving cavity.

[0008] This invention provides a magnet separation device, comprising a support platform and a drive mechanism. The gaps between the first and second baffles and the support platform form an inlet and an outlet for a receiving cavity. In using this device, multiple stacked magnets are placed into the receiving cavity. Then, a pusher is activated, inserting into the cavity and moving along the length of the support platform. When the pusher reaches the bottommost magnet, it continues to move, pushing the individual magnet out of the cavity outlet. The pusher then returns to its starting position, and the process is repeated to separate all the magnets in the receiving cavity one by one, achieving automatic magnet sorting. This magnet separation device achieves individual magnet separation through automation and mechanization, replacing the traditional manual magnet sorting method, reducing the labor intensity of production personnel, improving magnet separation efficiency, and reducing safety risks.

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" and other terms used in this utility model to indicate the orientation or positional relationship are based on the positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device and components referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a magnet separation device, which includes a support platform 10 and a drive mechanism 20. The support platform 10 is provided with a first baffle 11 and a second baffle 12, which are spaced apart along the length direction X of the support platform 10. The first baffle 11, the second baffle 12 and the support platform 10 form a receiving cavity for accommodating a plurality of stacked magnets 30. The first baffle 11 has a gap with the support platform 10 to form a receiving cavity inlet 13, and the second baffle 12 has a gap with the support platform 10 to form a receiving cavity outlet 14. The drive mechanism 20 is disposed on the support platform 10 and includes a pusher 21, which is used to insert and push a single magnet 30 from the receiving cavity inlet 13 so that the single magnet 30 is separated from the receiving cavity outlet 14.

[0020] In this embodiment, the support platform 10 supports the magnet 30, the drive mechanism 20 provides power to push the magnet 30, and the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 are spaced apart along the length direction X of the support platform 10, and together with the support platform 10, they form a receiving cavity to accommodate multiple magnets 30 stacked vertically. The gaps between the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 and the support platform 10 respectively form the receiving cavity inlet 13 and the receiving cavity outlet 14, which are used for the entry and exit of the magnets 30.

[0021] The support platform 10 can be a rectangular flat plate structure, used to stably support the magnet 30 and other components. The support platform 10 has a length direction X and a width direction Y. The first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 are respectively vertically arranged on the support platform 10, and the distance between the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 is slightly larger than the width of the magnet 30 (the dimension along the length direction X), so that the magnet 30 is stacked in the receiving cavity.

[0022] The heights of the cavity inlet 13 and cavity outlet 14 are slightly greater than the thickness of the individual magnet 30, so that the pusher 21 can be inserted from the cavity inlet 13 and push the individual magnet 30.

[0023] The drive mechanism 20 includes a pusher 21, which can be a rectangular push plate. The push plate is inserted into the receiving cavity from the receiving cavity inlet 13 and pushes the magnet 30 so that the magnet 30 moves forward along the length direction X of the support platform 10 and is pushed out from the receiving cavity outlet 14.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution, when using this magnet separation device, multiple stacked magnets 30 are placed into the receiving cavity. Then, the pusher 21 is activated, inserted from the receiving cavity inlet 13, and moves along the length X of the support platform 10. When the pusher 21 abuts against the bottommost magnet 30, it continues to push the individual magnet 30 out of the receiving cavity outlet 14. Subsequently, the pusher 21 returns to the starting position, and the above operation is repeated to separate all the magnets 30 in the receiving cavity one by one, achieving automatic sorting of the magnets 30. The magnet separation device of this embodiment achieves the individual separation of magnets through automation and mechanization, replacing the traditional manual sorting method, reducing the labor intensity of production personnel, thereby improving the efficiency of magnet separation and reducing safety risks.

[0025] In one embodiment, the vertical height of the cavity outlet 14 is greater than the thickness of a single magnet 30 but less than the thickness of two magnets 30.

[0026] Specifically, since the height of the cavity outlet 14 is less than the thickness of the two magnets 30, when the pusher 21 pushes the magnets 30, only the bottommost magnet 30 can be pushed out through the cavity outlet 14, preventing two or more magnets 30 from being carried out simultaneously and ensuring that the magnets 30 can be separated one by one. It is understandable that if the height of the cavity outlet 14 is less than the thickness of a single magnet 30, the magnet 30 will be stuck by the cavity outlet 14 and cannot be pushed out. If the height of the cavity outlet 14 is greater than the thickness of the two magnets 30, due to the mutual attraction between the magnets 30, two or more magnets 30 may be carried out, making it impossible to sort the magnets 30 one by one.

[0027] In use, multiple magnets 30 are first neatly placed into the receiving cavity. Then, the drive mechanism 20 is activated to drive the pusher 21 to insert from the receiving cavity inlet 13 and move along the length X direction of the support platform 10, pushing the bottom magnet 30 out of the receiving cavity outlet 14. The second to last magnet 30 is restrained by the receiving cavity outlet 14. After the bottom magnet 30 is pushed out, the second to last magnet 30 falls to the bottom layer position. Then, the pusher 21 returns to the starting position. Then, the above operation is repeated until all magnets 30 are separated one by one.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the support platform 10 is also provided with a first limiting member 15 and a second limiting member 16. The first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are both located on the side of the second baffle 12 away from the first baffle 11. The first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are spaced apart along the width direction Y of the support platform 10.

[0029] Specifically, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are disposed on the left and right sides of the receiving cavity outlet 14. When the magnet 30 is pushed out from the receiving cavity outlet 14, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 constrain and restrict the magnet 30, so that the magnet 30 continues to move along the setting direction of the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16. This helps to keep the magnet 30 neatly arranged and transported to the next process (such as...) after separation. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this prevents the magnet 30 from becoming misaligned or tilted, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of magnet 30 separation.

[0030] This embodiment guides the magnet 30 to move along a predetermined path during the separation process by setting a first limiting member 15 and a second limiting member 16, thereby reducing the offset and jamming of the magnet 30 during the separation process and improving the separation efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, the distance between the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 in the width direction Y can be adjusted. By adjusting the position and distance between the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16, it can be adapted to magnets 30 of different sizes.

[0032] In one embodiment, both the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are flexible.

[0033] Specifically, since the pusher 21 generates a certain impact force when pushing the magnet 30, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are made of rubber, silicone or other flexible materials. The flexible material can play a buffering role to prevent the magnet 30 from being damaged by the impact force.

[0034] For example, when the first magnet 30 is just pushed out of the receiving cavity outlet 14, the pusher 21 resets and continues to push out the second magnet 30. At this time, the second magnet 30 may impact the first magnet 30 under the push of the pusher 21. However, since the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 with flexibility are provided, the impact force of the second magnet 30 can be buffered, thereby avoiding the second magnet 30 from directly impacting the first magnet 30.

[0035] In one embodiment, a rubber pad is provided on the side of the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 facing each other, that is, a rubber pad is provided on the side of the first limiting member 15 facing the second limiting member 16, and a rubber pad is provided on the side of the second limiting member 16 facing the first limiting member 15, which can also play a buffering role.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support platform 10 is also provided with a first side plate 17 and a second side plate 18. The first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 extend along the length direction X of the support platform 10, and the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are spaced apart on both sides of the support platform 10 along the width direction Y of the support platform 10. The first side plate 17, the second side plate 18, the first baffle 11, the second baffle 12 and the support platform 10 together form a receiving cavity.

[0037] Specifically, in the length direction X, the first side plate 17 is located on the left side of the support platform 10, and the second side plate 18 is located on the right side of the support platform 10. The first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 extend a certain length along the length direction X of the support platform 10, restricting the movement of the magnet 30 in the width direction Y. The distance between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 is adapted to the width dimensions of the pusher 21 and the magnet 30. The pusher 21 (or push plate) is embedded between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18. The first side plate 17, the second side plate 18, the first baffle 11, the second baffle 12, and the support platform 10 together form a semi-closed receiving cavity, stably supporting the magnet 30 and preventing the magnet 30 from shifting in the front-back, left-right, and right directions of the support platform 10.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the first baffle 11 is slidably connected to the first side plate 17, and the other end of the first baffle 11 is slidably connected to the second side plate 18.

[0039] Specifically, in the length direction X, the left end of the first baffle 11 is slidably connected to the first side plate 17, and the right end of the first baffle 11 is slidably connected to the second side plate 18. In this way, the first baffle 11 can move and be fixed in the length direction X of the support platform 10, so that the size of the receiving cavity can be adjusted according to actual needs to place magnets 30 of different widths in the receiving cavity.

[0040] In one embodiment, in order to achieve a sliding connection, sliding components such as sliders (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on both sides of the first baffle 11. The sliding components match the corresponding slide grooves on the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18. The position of the first baffle 11 in the length direction X can be adjusted by pushing the first baffle 11 along the slide groove.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 20 also includes a drive member 22, and a pusher 21 is connected to the drive member 22. The drive member 22 is used to drive the pusher 21 to be inserted into the receiving cavity inlet 13 and push the single magnet 30.

[0042] Specifically, the drive member 22 provides power to drive the movement of the push member 21. The output end of the drive member 22 is connected to the push member 21, driving the push member 21 forward through rotation, linear motion, or other forms of mechanical motion. The push member 21 (e.g., a push plate) is a mechanical component connected to the drive member 22, used to directly contact and push the magnet 30. The shape and size of the push member 21 should be designed according to the shape and size of the magnet 30 and the structure of the receiving cavity to ensure that it can be inserted into the receiving cavity inlet 13 and push the magnet 30.

[0043] When it is necessary to move magnet 30, drive member 22 is activated and generates power, which is transmitted to push member 21 through connecting mechanism, causing push member 21 to move in a straight line. Push member 21 is inserted into receiving cavity through receiving cavity inlet 13 and pushes magnet 30. Then, push member 21 continues to move to push magnet 30 out of receiving cavity and separate individual magnet 30.

[0044] In one embodiment, the driving component 22 can be an electric motor, a cylinder (pneumatic device), or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. Of course, the driving component 22 can also be other mechanical drive structures, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support platform 10 is also provided with a linear guide rail 19, which is located between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18. The pusher 21 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 19.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, one or more linear guide rails 19 are provided on the support platform 10. The linear guide rails 19 are located between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 to form a guiding structure. When the driving member 22 is started, it generates power and delivers it to the pushing member 21. Under the guidance of the linear guide rails 19, the pushing member 21 moves forward along the linear guide rails 19, thereby pushing the magnet 30.

[0047] For example, the linear guide 19 consists of a guide body and a slider. The guide body is fixed on the support platform 10, while the slider is connected to the pusher 21 (for example, the pusher 21 is fixedly connected to the slider by bolts, pins, etc.). The slider is equipped with rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) that can roll along the guide body, thereby reducing frictional resistance and improving motion efficiency.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the magnet separation device also includes a protective cover 40, which covers the receiving cavity and the pusher 21.

[0049] Specifically, the protective cover 40 is installed above the receiving cavity and the pusher 21 to form a semi-enclosed working space. The shape and size of the protective cover 40 should be designed according to the layout of the receiving cavity and the pusher 21 to ensure that the receiving cavity and the pusher 21 can be covered, reduce the influence of external factors on the magnet separation process, and protect the operator from injury.

[0050] When the magnet separation device is running, the protective cover 40 completely encloses the receiving cavity and the pushing member 21, forming a semi-enclosed working space. In this space, the pushing member 21 moves along the linear guide rail 19 under the drive of the driving member 22, pushing the magnet 30 out of the receiving cavity. At the same time, due to the presence of the protective cover 40, the influence of external factors (such as dust) on the magnet separation process is greatly reduced.
