Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toy manufacturing equipment, specifically relating to an automatic magnet assembly device for toy workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] To enable the movable tongue of traditional toy animals, cylindrical magnets are typically embedded in the tongue. The magnetic force between the magnet and a coil in the head allows the tongue to swing or extend. During production, the magnets need to be embedded into grooves in the toy workpiece. Current production processes have the following problems: 1. Manual operation requires removing magnets one by one from a pile, often resulting in prolonged material removal time due to magnets attracting each other; 2. When manually pressing the magnets, operators rely on experience to apply force, which can easily cause uneven force, resulting in magnet tilting or partial tearing of the tongue; 3. Existing automated equipment uses a vibratory feeder, where magnets tend to stick and accumulate on the conveyor track due to magnetic attraction, causing magnet jamming and feeding difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a highly efficient automatic magnet assembly device that achieves precise assembly through an innovatively designed magnet storage, conveying, and pressing mechanism.

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic magnet assembly device for toy workpieces, including a frame, a magnet storage and conveying mechanism, a longitudinal pressing mechanism, and a toy workpiece positioning fixture. The frame includes a first horizontal base plate, a second horizontal base plate, and a vertical support plate. The magnet storage and conveying mechanism is mounted on the first horizontal base plate of the frame and includes a vertically arranged magnet storage box and a transverse pushing mechanism. The magnet storage box has a discharge port at its bottom. The transverse pushing mechanism includes a push plate, a sliding groove that slides with the push plate, and a first cylinder that drives the push plate to reciprocate horizontally within the sliding groove. The piston rod of the first cylinder is connected to the push plate at its front end, and the front side of the push plate has a magnetic adsorption surface. The longitudinal pressing mechanism is mounted on the vertical support plate of the frame and includes a pressing rod and a second cylinder that drives it to move vertically. The piston rod of the second cylinder is connected to the pressing rod through a connector. The toy workpiece positioning fixture is mounted on the second horizontal base plate of the frame and includes a positioning groove corresponding to a groove in the toy workpiece. The center line of the positioning groove coincides with the axis of the pressing rod.

[0005] The magnet storage box is used to store several stacked magnets to be assembled; the horizontal pushing mechanism is used to move the bottom magnet in the magnet storage box at the discharge port in the horizontal direction to the top of the assembly station; the vertical pressing mechanism is used to press the magnet located at the top of the assembly station into the groove of the toy workpiece in the vertical direction.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the first horizontal substrate is provided with a pressure rod limiting hole that penetrates the first horizontal substrate. The center line of the pressure rod limiting hole coincides with the axis of the pressure rod. The pressure rod limiting hole allows the pressure rod and the magnet pressed by the pressure rod to pass through and be limited.

[0007] The toy workpiece positioning fixture is provided with a positioning cavity, the shape of which is adapted to the three-dimensional shape of the back side of the toy workpiece facing away from the groove.

[0008] This invention also includes a two-hand coordinated start-up switch assembly. The switch assembly comprises a first microswitch and a second microswitch symmetrically arranged on the frame, with the two switches connected in parallel to the equipment control circuit. The operator must simultaneously trigger the switch with both hands to activate the equipment, eliminating the risk of accidental activation.

[0009] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: 1. The operator loads several stacked magnets into the magnet storage box and places the toy workpiece to be embedded with the magnet on the toy workpiece positioning fixture. The operator simultaneously triggers and presses the first micro switch and the second micro switch with both hands. 2. The first cylinder pushes the push plate to move the bottom magnet in the magnet storage box at the discharge port in the horizontal direction to the top of the assembly station. At this time, the magnet is attracted to the magnetic attraction surface of the push plate. 3. The second cylinder drives the magnetic metal pressure rod to attract the magnet attracted to the magnetic attraction surface of the push plate to the lower end face of the pressure rod and press it into the groove of the toy workpiece in the vertical direction. After the assembly is completed, the second cylinder automatically resets, and the operator takes the toy workpiece out of the toy workpiece positioning fixture.

[0010] The advantages of this invention are: by pushing horizontally and pressing vertically, magnet transfer and precise pressing are achieved, resulting in high assembly efficiency; and by using two-hand operation for safety control, the risk of accidental contact is eliminated.
