Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic block production equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for a neodymium iron boron magnetic block unloading and stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of NdFeB magnets, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, the magnet surface is highly susceptible to various forms of contamination. Specifically, these contaminations mainly originate from the following aspects: Raw material impurities: The raw materials for NdFeB magnets may contain minute metallic or non-metallic impurities. These impurities may not be completely removed during the magnet manufacturing process and ultimately remain on the magnet surface. Contamination during the production process: During the sintering, heat treatment, and other production processes, high temperatures and chemical reactions may cause oxides or other compounds that are difficult to remove to form on the magnet surface. Electrostatic adsorption: Newly produced NdFeB magnets possess a certain degree of magnetism and may generate static electricity on their surface, making them prone to adsorbing non-ferromagnetic particles such as dust and fibers from the air. Human factors: During production, transportation, and storage, human handling and other operations can also lead to contamination of the magnet surface. These contaminations not only affect the appearance quality of the magnets but may also adversely affect their magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and service life. Especially in high-precision, high-reliability applications such as electronics, medical, and aerospace, the cleanliness requirements for magnets are extremely high.

[0003] Therefore, keeping the surface of NdFeB magnets clean not only maintains their optimal magnetic properties but also ensures their reliability and safety in various applications. Currently, the NdFeB magnet unloading and stacking line has a station for manual cleaning of the magnets. Manual wiping requires processing each magnet individually, which is time-consuming, especially in large-scale production. This cannot meet the demands of rapid production and high throughput. Furthermore, the wiping force, angle, and method may vary between different operators, resulting in inconsistent cleaning effects and making it difficult to guarantee that each magnet meets the same cleanliness standard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet unloading and stacking machine, which makes magnet cleaning suitable for efficient production. This solves the technical problem that currently, NdFeB magnets rely on manual cleaning, which is time-consuming, especially in large-scale production, and cannot meet the requirements of rapid production and high throughput, and it is difficult to ensure that each magnet reaches the same cleaning standard.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning device for a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnetic block unloading and stacking machine includes an electrical cabinet, on which a cleaning conveyor belt and a cleaning mechanism are installed. The cleaning conveyor belt is used to transport magnetic block loading boxes containing magnetic blocks. The cleaning conveyor belt passes through the cleaning mechanism, which is used to clean the magnetic block loading boxes transported on the cleaning conveyor belt.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning frame mounted on a cleaning conveyor belt, a cleaning cylinder mounted on the cleaning frame, and an execution end for cleaning the magnetic block loading box mounted on the output end of the cleaning cylinder, the execution end being configured as an air gun and / or a cleaning brush.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism also includes a dust cover, which is installed on the electrical cabinet. The dust cover has a through-hole for clearing the conveyor belt, and the dust cover has maintenance doors and windows.

[0009] Furthermore, an end stop is installed at the end of the cleaning conveyor belt to prevent the cleaned magnetic block loading box from detaching from the cleaning conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, a material-supporting cylinder is provided on each side of the end block, and the material-supporting cylinder is used to support the magnetic block loading box that is blocked by the end block.

[0011] Furthermore, one of the material-supporting cylinders is equipped with a material-blocking cylinder for unilaterally limiting the magnetic block loading box.

[0012] Furthermore, the electrical cabinet is also equipped with a discharge mechanism, which includes a linear motion module mounted above the cleaning conveyor belt and a push plate installed at the output end of the linear motion module.

[0013] Furthermore, a discharge guide roller is installed on the electrical cabinet. The discharge guide roller is located on one side of the blocking cylinder and is used to receive the magnetic block loading box transferred from the cleaning conveyor belt by the discharge mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning device also includes a visual inspection mechanism, which includes a visual camera mounted on a frame. The frame is installed on the electrical cabinet, and the acquisition range of the visual camera fully covers the magnetic block loading box that is blocked by the end stop.

[0015] The present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention relates to a cleaning device for a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet unloading and stacking machine. By introducing automated and intelligent technologies, it effectively solves the aforementioned problems. Through the cooperation of a cleaning conveyor belt and a cleaning mechanism, it achieves automatic transmission and cleaning of the magnets. Furthermore, by introducing a cleaning mechanism and a visual inspection mechanism into the cleaning conveyor belt, it achieves both mechanized magnet cleaning and cleaning quality detection, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, it can monitor the cleaning effect in real time, promptly identifying and addressing magnets that fail to meet cleaning standards, ensuring the consistency and reliability of cleaning quality. The cleaning mechanism uses air guns and / or cleaning brushes as end effectors. Through precise control and positioning, it ensures that each magnet receives cleaning with the same force and angle, guaranteeing consistent cleaning quality. The automated cleaning device replaces manual operation, greatly reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and avoiding the health risks associated with manual cleaning. This efficient cleaning solution is particularly suitable for large-scale production and high-precision applications, effectively improving product quality, reducing production costs, and meeting the demands of modern manufacturing for high efficiency, intelligence, large-scale production, and high throughput.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been provided in the various embodiments of this utility model to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in the claims of this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a cleaning device for a neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnetic block unloading and stacking machine includes an electrical cabinet 1. A cleaning conveyor belt 2 and a cleaning mechanism 3 are installed on the electrical cabinet 1. The cleaning conveyor belt 2 transports magnetic block loading boxes 0 containing magnetic blocks. The cleaning conveyor belt 2 passes through the cleaning mechanism 3, which cleans the magnetic block loading boxes 0 transported on the cleaning conveyor belt 2. The cleaning conveyor belt 2 enables automatic transport of the magnets, providing the foundation for the cleaning process; the cleaning mechanism, as the end effector, cleans the magnets and is the core part of the cleaning process.

[0025] The electrical cabinet 1 serves as the support and control center for the entire device, integrating all necessary electrical components and control systems. A cleaning conveyor belt 2 installed on the electrical cabinet 1 transports the magnetic block loading box 0 containing magnetic blocks, ensuring that each magnetic block passes orderly through the cleaning area covered by the cleaning mechanism 3. The cleaning conveyor belt 2 runs through the cleaning mechanism 3, allowing the magnetic block loading box to be fully exposed within the effective cleaning range of the cleaning mechanism 3 during transport, ensuring thorough cleaning without any blind spots.

[0026] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning frame 31 mounted on the cleaning conveyor belt 2. A cleaning cylinder 32 is installed on the cleaning frame 31, and an actuator 33 for cleaning the magnetic block loading box 0 is installed at the output end of the cleaning cylinder 32. The actuator 33 is configured as an air gun and / or a cleaning brush. The cleaning mechanism 3 is the core component of the device, designed to efficiently and thoroughly remove dust and foreign matter from the surface of the magnetic blocks. Specifically, the cleaning cylinder 32 drives the actuator 33 to perform the cleaning operation. The actuator can be an air gun and / or a cleaning brush, flexibly configured as needed, capable of powerfully blowing away stubborn stains while gently wiping vulnerable surfaces, ensuring cleaning effectiveness while avoiding any physical damage to the magnetic blocks.

[0027] The cleaning mechanism 3 also includes a dust cover, which is installed on the electrical cabinet 1. The dust cover has a through-hole to allow space for the cleaning conveyor belt 2, and has inspection doors and windows. The dust cover effectively prevents external dust from re-adhering to the cleaned magnetic blocks, maintaining a clean environment.

[0028] The cleaning mechanism 3 also includes a positioning component 9, which is installed inside the dust cover. The positioning component 9 includes a set of positioning sensors and an intercepting cylinder. The positioning sensors are used to identify the magnetic block loading box 0 on the cleaning conveyor belt 2. When the magnetic block loading box 0 is detected to be close, the intercepting cylinder is controlled by the industrial control unit to achieve the purpose of intercepting the magnetic block loading box 0, thus providing time for the end-stage cleaning magnet 33 to perform.

[0029] like Figures 2-3 As shown, an end stop 21 is installed at the end of the cleaning conveyor belt 2 to prevent the cleaned magnetic block loading box 0 from leaving the cleaning conveyor belt 2. In order to control the overall length of the NdFeB magnetic block unloading and stacking machine, the magnetic block loading box 0 output from the cleaning conveyor belt 2 needs to change direction. The end stop 21 is used to intercept the magnetic block loading box to prevent it from accidentally leaving the cleaning conveyor belt 2 and to prepare for the magnetic block loading box 0 to change direction.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a material-supporting cylinder 6 is provided on each side of the end stop 21. The material-supporting cylinder 6 is used to support the magnetic block loading box 0 that is intercepted by the end stop 21. When the magnetic block loading box 0 is intercepted by the end stop 21, the material-supporting cylinder 6 will lift the magnetic block loading box 0, so that it is separated from the contact of the cleaning conveyor belt 2, thereby reducing the frictional loss between the magnetic block loading box 0 and the cleaning conveyor belt 2.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the electrical cabinet 1 is also equipped with a discharge mechanism 5, which includes a linear motion module mounted above the cleaning conveyor belt 2 and a push plate installed at the output end of the linear motion module. After the magnetic block loading boxes 0 have finished cleaning, the discharge mechanism 5 will transfer them from the cleaning conveyor belt 2 to ensure the continuity of the production process.

[0032] To prevent abnormal movement of the magnetic block loading box 0, a material-supporting cylinder 6 is equipped with a material-blocking cylinder 7 to limit the magnetic block loading box 0 on one side. In particular, to facilitate the smooth transfer of the magnetic block loading box 0 by the discharge mechanism 5, the material-supporting cylinders 6 located on both sides of the cleaning conveyor belt 2 can use different output strokes to make the magnetic block loading box 0 tilt towards the side of the material-blocking cylinder 7. When the material-blocking cylinder 7 retracts, the interception effect of the starting end on the magnetic block loading box 0 is canceled, and the discharge mechanism 5 can push it out more easily.

[0033] The discharge guide roller 8 is located on one side of the material blocking cylinder 7. The discharge guide roller 8 is used to receive the magnetic block loading box 0 transferred from the cleaning conveyor belt, ensuring a smooth and stable transfer process.

[0034] The aforementioned discharge mechanism 5 and discharge guide roller 8 enable automatic transfer and output of the cleaned magnets, ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the cleaning device also includes a visual inspection mechanism 4, which comprises a framed visual camera mounted on the electrical cabinet 1. The visual camera's acquisition range fully covers the magnetic block loading box 0, which is stopped by the end block 21. The high-resolution visual camera's acquisition range fully covers the magnetic block loading box 0, enabling comprehensive image acquisition and quality inspection of each magnetic block. The visual inspection system can not only promptly detect substandard magnetic blocks and issue alarms, but also record data from each cleaning cycle, facilitating subsequent quality traceability and process optimization. This not only improves the consistency and reliability of cleaning quality but also provides strong support for the company's quality management.

[0036] In summary, this cleaning device for the NdFeB magnet unloading and stacking machine achieves efficient and high-quality cleaning by integrating multiple advanced technologies such as automated conveying, multi-point cleaning, dust protection, intelligent discharge, and visual inspection. It is particularly suitable for large-scale production and high-precision applications, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0037] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing the present invention, and in practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
