Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the production of amorphous magnetic cores, and in particular to an automatic assembly and sorting mechanism for amorphous magnetic cores, belonging to the field of electromechanical equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of amorphous magnetic cores, the processed toroidal metal cores wound with amorphous material need to be placed in protective cases. The structure of these protective cases has been disclosed in several patent documents, such as CN221091789U, which discloses a protective case structure for amorphous and nanocrystalline magnetic cores, and CN112967870A (a coated amorphous magnetic core and manufacturing method). When placing the cores in the protective cases, there are pre-installed annular sponge pads inside. Traditionally, core packaging is done manually. With increasing market competition, the cost of manual packaging has made core production less and less economical. Developing automated core packaging equipment is an effective way to reduce costs. The development of automated packaging equipment first requires that the protective cases be neat and orderly. Therefore, sorting and arranging the protective cases is the foundation for the development of automated packaging equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting and arranging mechanism for the protective box in the automatic assembly of amorphous magnetic cores.
[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted: a sorting and arranging mechanism for protective boxes in the automatic assembly of amorphous magnetic cores, including a protective box trough and a chain-plate elevator. The protective boxes are located in the trough. The chain-plate elevator includes a vertical section and a downward inclined section connected to the vertical section. The downward inclined section is located in the protective box trough. A protective box track is fixedly installed on the upper side of the chain-plate elevator. The protective box track is a grooved track, and a material baffle is fixedly connected to the grooved track. The protective box track includes a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first section is connected to the side of the elevator, the second section is connected to the first section, and the third section is connected to the second section. The first section is horizontally inclined downwards, the second section is vertically inclined, and the third section is an arc-shaped section transitioning from vertically inclined to horizontally forward and backward. An air blowing pipe is installed on the other side of the chain-plate elevator corresponding to the first section of the track. The air blowing pipe is connected to an air source. A material detection switch for detecting protective boxes is fixedly installed on the lower support side of the first section of the grooved track. A color sensor for identifying the sponge pad in the protective box is also fixedly installed near the material detection switch. A window is provided on the bottom surface of the color sensor's groove, and the window is larger than the size of the protective box. A gas nozzle is fixedly installed at the window position. When the gas nozzle sprays gas, it can blow the protective box out of the window. The gas nozzle is connected to a solenoid valve. The material detection switch, color sensor, and solenoid valve are all connected to the controller.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper part of the protective box material trough is quadrilateral, and the lower part is a square pyramid, with the bottom of the lower sloping section located at the bottom of the square pyramid.
[0006] The positive and beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This mechanism enables the orderly output of protective boxes and can reject those without sponge pads. During the sorting process, it can also reject protective boxes with incorrect opening orientation. This will be explained in detail with reference to specific implementation methods. Attached Figure Description
[0007] Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of the present invention.
[0008] Figure 2 This is an enlarged view of the window after the baffle has been removed. Detailed Implementation
[0009] To more fully explain the implementation of this utility model, implementation examples are provided. These implementation examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not limit its scope.
[0010] The present invention will be further explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the following markings are provided: 1: Material trough for protective box; 2: Chain plate elevator; 3: Vertical section; 4: Inclined section; 5: Material baffle; 6: Solenoid valve; 7: Support side; 8: Third section; 9: Material detection switch; 10: Window; 11: Air nozzle; 12: Color detection sensor; 13: Forward protective box; 14: Reverse protective box; 15: Protective box track; 16: First section.
[0011] In this application, the material detection sensor can be an existing fiber optic sensor, which has a very fast sensing speed. Color sensors are currently available commercial products. In this embodiment, the protective box is white, the sponge pad is blue, and the corresponding color sensor is a blue detection sensor. Of course, the sponge can also be green, red, or other colors; a sensor of the corresponding color can be used. The chain-plate elevator is an existing product. The chain-plate elevator has a circular belt running on it, with a flap fixedly connected to the top of the belt (the flap is not shown in the figure). When passing the protective box trough, the protective box rises onto the flap with the belt, and when it reaches the air outlet, it is blown by gas and rolls towards the protective box track.
[0012] As shown in the attached figure, an automatic assembly mechanism for sorting and arranging protective boxes in amorphous magnetic cores includes a protective box trough 1 and a chain-plate elevator 2. The protective boxes are located in the trough, which has a quadrilateral upper part and a pyramidal lower part. The chain-plate elevator includes a vertical section and a downward-sloping section 4 connected to the vertical section 3. The bottom of the downward-sloping section is located at the bottom of the pyramidal shape. A protective box track 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the chain-plate elevator. The protective box track is a grooved track, and a material baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the grooved track. The protective box track includes a first section 16, a second section 7, and a third section 8. The first section is connected to the side of the elevator, the second section 7 is connected to the first section, and the third section 8 is connected to the second section. The first section is horizontally inclined downwards. The downward inclination is to ensure that the protective boxes can overcome friction and move towards the second section on the track. The direction of the roll can be adjusted according to the test. The second section is in the up and down direction, and the third section is an arc section that transitions from the up and down direction to the horizontal front and back direction. An air blowing pipe is installed on the other side of the chain plate elevator corresponding to the first section of the track. The air blowing pipe is connected to an air source. The air blowing pipe is not shown in the figure. A material detection switch 9 for detecting the protective box is fixedly installed on the support edge 7 under the first section of the track. A color sensor 12 for coloring the sponge pad in the protective box is also fixedly installed near the material detection switch. A window 10 is opened on the bottom surface of the track of the color sensor. The window is larger than the size of the protective box. A gas nozzle 11 is fixedly installed at the window position. When the gas nozzle sprays air, it can blow the protective box out of the window. The gas nozzle is connected to the solenoid valve 6. The material detection switch, color sensor, and solenoid valve are all connected to the controller.
[0013] When this mechanism is in operation, after the protective box is blown onto the protective box track, it continues to roll to the material detection sensor. After the material detection sensor detects the material, it triggers the color sensor to identify the color. If the color sensor cannot identify the color, it triggers the solenoid valve to blow air from the blower, blowing the protective box off the window. When the sponge pad in the protective box is missing or the protective box is reversed, the color sensor cannot identify the color, and the box will be blown off the window to prevent unqualified protective boxes from entering the subsequent sorting process. After passing through the window, qualified protective boxes pass through the second vertical protective box track with their openings facing forward. After passing through the third arc section, the opening becomes upward, completing the sorting process of the protective boxes.
[0014] After a detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art will clearly understand that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the above-mentioned patent applications. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited to the embodiments of the examples given in the specification.
