[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] In this embodiment, the production equipment is placed on a horizontal plane as a reference position for the vertical direction.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a production equipment includes a processing mechanism, a testing mechanism, a control terminal, and two feeding devices. The two feeding devices are respectively connected to the processing mechanism and are used to feed production materials to the processing mechanism.

[0039] In this embodiment, the feeding device includes a storage hopper 10, a conveyor ladder 11, a feeding section 12, a discharge device 13, and two feeding tracks 14. The bottom of the storage hopper 10 is conical so that the material added to the storage hopper 10 can fall into the bottom of the discharge hopper 10 under the action of gravity.

[0040] The conveyor ladder 11 is arranged gradually upward from one end near the discharge hopper 10 to the other end. The lower end of the conveyor ladder 11 is connected to the bottom of the discharge hopper 10. In this embodiment, the conveyor ladder 11 includes a conveyor frame and a conveyor belt set on the conveyor frame. The lower end of the conveyor ladder frame is integrally connected to one side of the discharge hopper 10. The lower end of the conveyor belt is located at the bottom of the discharge hopper 10. Multiple uniform baffles 111 are provided on the conveyor belt so that when the conveyor belt is running upward, the material on the conveyor belt will not slip into the discharge hopper 10 due to gravity.

[0041] In this embodiment, the discharge device 13 is a conventional vibratory feeder mechanism. The discharge device 13 includes a base, a vibratory device mounted on the base, and a material tray that cooperates with the vibratory device. The material tray is provided with a spirally ascending flipping track 131. The flipping track 131 has two discharge tracks, which are respectively connected to two feeding tracks 14, so that the discharge device 13 can output two materials at a time for production. Under the continuous vibration of the vibratory device, the material in the material tray gradually moves upward along the flipping track 131 and flips during the movement.

[0042] The upper end of the conveyor ladder 11 is connected to the unloading section 12. The discharge port of the unloading section 12 is located above the vibration device 13. In this embodiment, a flexible unloading ring 121 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the unloading section 12. The end of the flexible unloading ring 121 away from the unloading section 12 is arranged close to the center of the material tray so that the material in the unloading section 12 can fall into the material tray and prevent the material from flying out.

[0043] A push rod 122 is rotatably connected to the feeding part 13. The push rod 122 is located inside the material tray and is in contact with the bottom of the material tray. When the material in the discharge device 13 is too high, the push rod 122 can push the material down during the vibration of the discharge device 13 so that the material in the discharge device 13 is evenly distributed.

[0044] In this embodiment, a detection device 141 and a third air blowing pipe 142 are provided on the feeding track 14. The detection device 141 is communicatively connected to the control terminal. In this embodiment, the detection device 141 is a conventional infrared detection device, and the detection device 141 is located above the discharge device 13. The third air blowing pipe 142 is used to blow unqualified feed material into the discharge device 13, that is, to blow the incorrectly flipped material into the discharge device 13 for vibration flipping again.

[0045] The processing mechanism includes a processing frame, a lifting plate 21, a rotating plate 22, and a second output belt 23. A second rotating device and a lifting drive device are fixedly connected to the processing frame. The rotating plate 22 is connected to the output end of the second rotating device. The lifting plate 21 is vertically connected to the processing frame and is located above the rotating plate 22. In this embodiment, the second rotating device is a conventional motor device. The lifting plate 21 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive device. In this embodiment, the lifting drive device is a conventional cylinder device. The lifting drive device is used to drive the lifting plate 21 to rise or fall. Other conventional lifting devices can also be used to connect to the lifting plate 21. Two guide columns are fixedly connected to the processing frame. The lifting plate 21 is provided with two guide holes. The two guide columns pass through the two guide holes one by one to provide guidance for the rise and fall of the lifting plate 21.

[0046] Two feeding mechanisms are located on both sides of the processing mechanism. The rotary disk 22 is provided with multiple sets of workstations for placing materials. Each workstation includes two placement slots 221. In this embodiment, at least 10 workstations are provided on the rotary disk 22.

[0047] The lifting plate 21 is provided with a first material picking device 211, a magnet placing device 213, a second material picking device 212 and a workpiece output device 214 arranged in a counterclockwise direction. In this embodiment, the first material picking device 211 is a conventional two-claw finger cylinder, and the second material picking device 212 and the workpiece output device 214 are both conventional vacuum adsorption pumps.

[0048] Four pushing devices are also fixedly connected to the lifting plate 21. In this embodiment, the four pushing devices fixedly connected to the lifting plate 21 are all conventional cylinders. The output ends of the four cylinders are respectively connected to the first material picking device 211, the second material picking device 212, the magnet placing device 213 and the workpiece output device 214. The cylinders control the movement of the first material picking device 211, the second material picking device 212, the magnet placing device 213 and the workpiece output device 214 on the horizontal plane.

[0049] The first material handling device 211 and the second material handling device 212 are arranged opposite to each other. The magnet placement device 213 is located between the first material handling device 211 and the second material handling device 212. The first material handling device 212 and the second material handling device 213 are respectively located close to the feeding tracks 14 of the two feeding devices. The magnet placement device 213 is arranged opposite to the workpiece output device 214. The first material handling device 211 and the second material handling device 212 are used to place the material on the corresponding feeding track 14 into the corresponding placement groove 221. The magnet placement device 213 is used to attract the magnet and place the magnet on the material in the placement groove 221.

[0050] In this embodiment, since two workpieces are input on the two feeding tracks 14, there are two first picking devices 211, second picking devices 212, magnet placement devices 213 and workpiece output devices 214 on the lifting plate 21.

[0051] The lifting plate 21 is located between the first material handling device 211 and the magnet placement device 213 and is equipped with a first pressing device 215. The first pressing device 215 consists of two pressing rods fixedly connected to the lifting plate 21. When the lifting plate 21 descends, the distance between the pressing rods and the bottom of the placement groove 221 matches the height of the material, so that the first pressing device 215 can be used to press the material flat in the placement groove 221.

[0052] A second clamping device 216 is provided on the processing frame between the second material handling device 212 and the workpiece output device 214. The second clamping device 216 includes two conventional cylinders, and clamping columns are connected to the output ends of the two cylinders respectively. The cylinders drive the clamping columns to move downward to clamp the processed workpiece and ensure that the product is fixedly connected.

[0053] In this embodiment, the magnet placement device 213 is a conventional electromagnetic chuck. Two storage sections 24 and two worktables 25 are fixedly connected to the processing frame. The two worktables 25 are arranged one-to-one with the two magnet placement devices 213. The storage section 24 has a chamber for storing magnets. Each worktable 25 has a magnet placement hole that communicates with the corresponding storage section 24. Each storage section 24 is connected to a conventional float switch to control the falling of the magnets. Each worktable 25 has a telescopic device fixedly connected to its lower end. Each telescopic device has an operating table 251 connected to its working end. Each operating table 251 has an operating slot 252 for placing magnets. In this embodiment, the telescopic device is a conventional cylinder. When the cylinder retracts, each operating slot 252 communicates with the magnet placement hole on the corresponding worktable 25, so that the magnets in the storage section 24 fall into the operating slot 252. When the cylinder extends, the magnet placement device 213 takes out the magnets from the operating slot 252 and puts them into the material.

[0054] In this embodiment, a conventional magnetic pole detection device 26 for detecting the magnetic poles of a magnet is provided on the processing frame at a position close to the storage section 24, so that magnetic pole detection can be performed before the magnet is placed into the storage section 24, making it easier for the operator to place the magnet into the storage section 24 in the normal direction according to the operating requirements.

[0055] The testing mechanism includes a testing frame, on which a first output belt 31, a first air blowing pipe 32, an output mechanism, a testing module, and a camera module are installed. In this embodiment, the camera module is an industrial camera or a CT scanner to ensure that the camera module can capture the internal structure of the product so that the testing module can detect whether there are magnets inside the product. The control terminal is a conventional control chip or a computer.

[0056] One end of the first output belt 31 is connected to or located close to the discharge end of the processing mechanism. In this embodiment, the discharge end of the processing mechanism is the end where the workpiece output device 214 is installed. The other end of the first output belt 31 is connected to or located close to the output mechanism. In this embodiment, one end of the second output belt 23 is arranged close to the workpiece output device 214, and the other end of the second output belt 23 is arranged close to the first output belt 31. The camera module is located above the first output belt 31. The inspection frame has a defect outlet 33 on one side corresponding to the first output belt 31, and the camera module is located above the first output belt 31. Both the first air blowing pipe 32 and the camera module are fixed on the inspection frame, with the first air blowing pipe 32 facing the defective product outlet 33. The camera module is located between the defective product outlet 33 and the processing mechanism, so that the processed product can first be photographed by the camera module and then confirmed by the inspection module to determine whether it is a defective product. The inspection module and the camera module are respectively connected to the control terminal. The inspection module is used to inspect the product quality. In this embodiment, the inspection module is a conventional image recognition and analysis module, which is used to analyze whether there are magnets placed inside the processed product, whether the product itself has scratches, cracks, or other problems.

[0057] In this embodiment, the output mechanism includes an output bucket 41, a rotating plate 42, a counting device, and a first rotating device for controlling the rotation of the rotating plate. The output bucket is located below the first output belt 31, and the width of the output bucket gradually increases from one end near the first output belt 31 to the other end. The middle part of the rotating plate 42 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the output bucket 41, and the upper end of the rotating plate 42 is arranged near one side wall of the output bucket 41. The rotating plate 42 is connected to the first rotating device in a transmission manner, and the first rotating device and the counting device are respectively connected to the control terminal in communication. In this embodiment, the first transmission device is a conventional motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a rotating rod. The rotating rod passes through the output hopper 41, and the rotating plate 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The rotating plate 42 divides the output hopper 41 into two output ports. The counting device is a conventional counting device. The counting device calculates the number of products to be output according to the preset counting requirements. When the preset count is met, the control terminal controls the first rotating device to rotate, driving the rotating plate 42 to the other side of the output hopper 41, so that the subsequent output products are output from the other side of the output hopper. By setting the counting device and the rotating plate 42 in cooperation, the manual counting of the number of products is eliminated, which helps to effectively improve production efficiency.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the second output belt 23 is provided with two opposing guide plates 231 near the workpiece output device 214 of the processing mechanism. The distance between the two guide plates 231 gradually decreases from one end near the workpiece output device 214 to the other end. A guide block 232 is provided on the second output belt 23 near the workpiece output device 214, extending from one side of the second output belt 23 to the middle position. A second air pipe 233 is provided on one side of the second output belt 23, facing the first output belt 31. When the workpiece output device 214 outputs two processed workpieces, the air pipe 233 moves away from the guide plate 231. Workpieces on the side of block 232 are directly output by the second output belt 23, while workpieces on the side closer to guide block 232 are blocked by guide block 232, causing the workpiece output speed to decrease and the output direction of the workpieces to gradually move towards the middle position of the second output belt 23, so that the two workpieces output by workpiece output device 214 are output sequentially through the second output belt 23 to the positions of the two guide plates 231, and then conveyed to the first output belt 31 through the second air pipe 233. Through the cooperation of guide block 232, second air pipe 233 and two guide plates 231, the two workpieces output by workpiece output device 214 are output sequentially, avoiding workpiece blockage on the second output belt 23.

[0059] This embodiment uses Figure 1 The production equipment shown is a reference orientation in the left-right direction.

[0060] This embodiment uses the production of Huarong Road sliders as an example to illustrate the operating principle of the production equipment: The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise, firstly pouring the bottom plate and cover plate of the slider into the storage hopper 10 of the two feeding devices one by one. The bottom plate is poured into the storage hopper 10 on the right and the cover plate is poured into the storage hopper 10 on the left. The first picking device 211 on the right extends under the push of the cylinder and grabs the two bottom plates on the corresponding feeding track 14. When the cylinder retracts, the lifting disk 21 descends, and the first picking device 211 releases the bottom plate, so that the bottom plate is placed in the placement groove 221.

[0061] The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise, rotating the two placement slots 221 containing the base plate to below the first pressing device 215. The lifting disk 21 descends, and the first pressing device 215 presses the base plate onto the base plate of the placement slot 221. At the same time, the first material taking device 221 also places new base plates in the other two placement slots 221.

[0062] The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise to rotate the two placement slots 221 to below the magnet placement device 213. The magnet placement device 213 extends under the push of the cylinder and takes the magnet from the operating slot 252. Then it retracts under the drive of the cylinder. When the lifting disk 21 descends, the magnet placement device 213 places the magnet on the base plate. At the same time, the first pressing device 215 also presses the base plates placed in the other two placement slots 221.

[0063] The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise again, rotating the base plate containing the magnet to the second material handling device 212. The lifting disk descends, and the second material handling device 212 places the adsorbed cover plate into the placement groove 221. At the same time, the magnet placement device 213 also places magnets on the other two base plates.

[0064] The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise to rotate the two mounting slots 221 to below the second pressing device 216. The second pressing device 216 descends under the push of the cylinder to press the cover plate onto the bottom plate. At the same time, the second material handling device 212 also places the other two cover plates on the bottom plate.

[0065] The rotating disk 22 rotates counterclockwise to below the workpiece output device 214. The rotating disk 22 descends, and the workpiece output device 214 picks up the assembled workpiece. The rotating disk 22 rises, and the cylinder drives the tool output device 214 to place the workpiece on the second output belt 23. The second output belt 23 sequentially transports the workpiece to the first output belt 31. The camera module takes pictures of the workpiece on the first output belt 31 and transmits the pictures to the control module for image analysis and comparison. If the workpiece does not contain a magnet, has defects, or has cracks, the defective product is blown out from the defective product outlet 33 through the first air pipe 32. If the workpiece meets the preset comparison results, it is output from the output hopper 41.

[0066] In summary, this production equipment uses two feeding devices to input two workpieces into the processing mechanism, which then places a magnet on one of the workpieces and assembles the two workpieces together. Finally, a testing mechanism selects qualified products for output, which not only ensures production quality but also improves production efficiency.

[0067] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
