Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neodymium iron boron magnet production technology, specifically to a magnet clamping and placing assembly and an equidistant transport device for a magnet stacking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets have wide applications in motor manufacturing due to their excellent magnetic properties. To meet the requirements of installation accuracy and strength, magnets are typically installed in motor slots by bonding multiple magnet pieces together. The bonding process relies on dispensing equipment to complete steps such as material loading, dispensing, curing, and drying. To ensure the bonding quality and process stability, cleaning and quality inspection of the magnet surface before bonding are crucial.

[0003] In traditional production lines, the cleaning and inspection processes for magnets are typically scattered across different steps, making effective integration with loading and bonding impossible. This increases the difficulty of manual intervention and process coordination. Furthermore, existing loading mechanisms often use a single-material structure to store magnets, which is not only cumbersome and inefficient when changing magnet models, but also cannot support continuous, automated multi-process workflows.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing methods for transporting magnets mostly rely on manual or robotic arm handling, resulting in low positioning accuracy and difficulty in controlling cycle time, making them unsuitable for high-speed assembly line production. Especially during double-sided laser washing and visual inspection processes, complex operations such as removing, precisely placing, and flipping magnets for further processing are required. Traditional handling methods struggle to meet the requirements for time synchronization and spatial accuracy, leading to low overall production line efficiency and poor consistency. Therefore, a mechanical structure capable of equidistant, synchronous handling is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of traditional magnet transfer methods in production lines by providing a magnet clamping and placement assembly and an equidistant transport device for magnet stacking equipment. This assembly can not only accurately remove magnets from the feeding mechanism and place them sequentially on the assembly line frame for the first laser washing and visual inspection, but also automatically flip them after repositioning to continue the second laser washing and visual inspection. This ensures that each step is highly matched with the assembly line cycle, thereby solving the problems of process fragmentation, low transport accuracy, and insufficient automation in the existing technology.

[0011] Secondly, the present invention provides an equidistant transport device for a magnet stacking equipment, comprising the magnet clamping and placing assembly for the magnet stacking equipment described in the first aspect, and further comprising a magnet placing part disposed on the table surface of the magnet stacking equipment. The magnet placing part comprises a placing plate and a placing seat. The placing plate is horizontally disposed and can slide in the horizontal plane in a direction away from or towards the working assembly. Multiple placing seats are disposed and arranged on the placing plate according to the spacing of the working assemblies. The working assembly is used to clamp the magnets on the placing seats.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the magnet placement part further includes a placement frame fixed on the table of the magnet stacking equipment.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a magnet clamping and placement assembly for a magnet stacking equipment, comprising a frame and a magnet clamping part; the frame is fixedly mounted on the table of the magnet stacking equipment, and a lifting plate 13 is slidably mounted on the frame, the lifting plate 13 being able to move up and down in the vertical direction; the magnet clamping part includes a horizontal frame and working components, the horizontal frame is slidably mounted on the lifting plate 13 in the horizontal direction, and the working components have multiple components for clamping magnets at each workstation respectively, the multiple working components being arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction on the horizontal frame.

[0041] Since the lifting plate 13 in this application can move up and down in the vertical direction, and the horizontal frame can slide left and right on the lifting plate 13 in the horizontal direction, and the magnetic steel clamping part is provided with multiple working components at equal intervals, the multiple working components can move up and down synchronously and can move horizontally synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous displacement of multiple magnets at different work positions.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this application, the horizontal frame includes a plurality of mounting plates 22 fixed on the horizontal guide rail 21, and the plurality of mounting plates 22 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the horizontal guide rail 21. The horizontal guide rail 21 cooperates with a plurality of guide rail sliders 23 fixedly disposed on the lifting plate 13. The working component is disposed on the mounting plate 22, and the working component includes a feeding suction cup 31, a first gripper cylinder 32, a flipping gripper cylinder 33, a second gripper cylinder 34, and a discharging suction cup 35.

[0043] In this application, two horizontal guide rails 21 are arranged in parallel, and five mounting plates 22 are arranged at equal intervals. All mounting plates 22 are fixed to the two horizontal guide rails 21. Multiple guide rail sliders 23 that cooperate with the two horizontal guide rails 21 are fixedly installed on the lifting plate 13. This arrangement helps to reduce weight. By applying force to the horizontal guide rails 21, the horizontal guide rails 21 can be driven to slide, thereby driving the horizontal frame and the multiple working components mounted on it to move horizontally left and right synchronously.

[0044] In this application, the working components on the horizontal frame, from left to right, are a loading suction cup 31, a first gripper cylinder 32, a flipping gripper cylinder 33, a second gripper cylinder 34, and a unloading suction cup 35. The loading suction cup 31 and the unloading suction cup 35 have identical structures. The loading suction cup 31 is used to pick up magnets from the loading station, and the unloading suction cup 35 is used to pick up the processed magnets. The first gripper cylinder 32 and the second gripper cylinder 34 have identical structures, both using double-acting cylinders to drive the two grippers, thereby achieving the gripping and releasing of the magnets. The flipping gripper cylinder 33 not only has a double-acting cylinder driving the two grippers to achieve the gripping and releasing of the magnets, but also a rotating cylinder driving the double-acting cylinder to rotate, thereby achieving the flipping operation of the magnets.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, a horizontal cylinder 24 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 13 away from the horizontal frame. A first notch is provided on the lifting plate 13. The output end of the horizontal cylinder 24 is connected to the horizontal guide rail 21 through a connecting plate 25 passing through the first notch, so as to drive the horizontal guide rail 21 to slide.

[0046] Since the lifting plate 13 is vertically set, the horizontal frame is set in front of the lifting plate 13, and the horizontal cylinder 24 is set in the rear of the lifting plate 13, by opening a first notch on the lifting plate 13 and setting a connecting plate 25 on the horizontal guide rail 21, the piston rod of the horizontal cylinder 24 is indirectly connected to the horizontal guide rail 21 through the first notch by the connecting plate 25, thereby driving the horizontal guide rail 21 to slide.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, the frame includes a column 11 fixed on the table of the magnet laminating equipment, a vertical guide rail 12 is provided on the column 11, the lifting plate 13 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rail 12, and a lifting cylinder 14 is provided on the column 11 to drive the lifting plate 13 to slide.

[0048] This application features two columns 11, each with a vertical guide rail 12. The rear side of the lifting plate 13 is slidably connected to the two vertical guide rails 12 via a slider. By using a lifting cylinder 14, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 14 drives the lifting plate 13 to slide up and down, thereby driving the working component to move up and down, realizing the lifting or lowering of the magnet.

[0049] This application provides an equidistant transport device for a magnet stacking equipment, including the magnet clamping and placing assembly for the magnet stacking equipment described above, and a magnet placing part disposed on the table of the magnet stacking equipment. The magnet placing part includes a placing plate 41 and a placing seat 42. The placing plate 41 is horizontally disposed and can slide in the horizontal plane in a direction away from or towards the working assembly. Multiple placing seats 42 are disposed on the placing plate 41 according to the spacing of the working assemblies. The working assembly is used to clamp the magnets on the placing seat 42.

[0050] The magnet placement section in this application arranges four placement seats 42 on a placement plate 41 according to the spacing of the working components. These four placement seats 42 correspond sequentially to four workstations: laser cleaning (front), CCD inspection (front), laser cleaning (back), and CCD inspection (back). Since the placement plate 41 can slide back and forth, after the magnet is placed on the placement seat 42, the sliding of the placement plate 41 can move the four placement seats 42 away from the working components, thereby positioning the placement seats 42 at the aforementioned four workstations, and thus performing corresponding process operations on the magnets on each placement seat 42.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this application, the magnet placement part further includes a placement frame 43 fixed on the table of the magnet stacking equipment. The placement frame 43 is provided with a displacement guide rail 44 and a displacement cylinder 45. The placement plate 41 is slidably connected to the displacement guide rail 44, and the displacement cylinder 45 is used to drive the placement plate 41 to slide.

[0052] The aforementioned placement platform 43 elevates the placement plate 41, ensuring that the four placement seats 42 are within the stroke range of the working component. Two parallel displacement guide rails 44 are arranged on the placement platform 43, both horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the direction of the horizontal guide rail 21. The lower side of the placement plate 41 is slidably connected to the two displacement guide rails 44 via a slider. The piston rod of the displacement cylinder 45 is connected to the placement plate 41 to drive the placement plate 41 to slide.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this application, the placement platform 43 includes a base plate, a top plate, and support rods. The base plate and the top plate are arranged opposite to each other, and there are multiple support rods connected between the base plate and the top plate. The displacement guide rail 44 is disposed on the top plate. By adopting the above-described structure, the weight can be reduced.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this application, a second notch is provided on the top plate, and a displacement plate 46 is provided in the second notch. The displacement cylinder 45 drives the placement plate 41 to slide through the displacement plate 46. Since the displacement cylinder 45 is fixedly installed on the placement platform 43, the piston rod of the displacement cylinder 45 is connected to the placement plate 41 at intervals through the displacement plate 46, thereby driving the placement plate 41 to slide.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, the placement seat 42 is provided with a placement groove 421 for accommodating magnets, and the side of the placement groove 421 is provided with a gripping opening 422 so that the gripper in the working assembly can grip the magnet placed in the placement groove 421.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, a sensor 423 is provided on the placement seat 42 for detecting whether a magnet is placed on the placement seat 42. The aforementioned sensor 423 may be located at the bottom of the placement groove 421.

[0057] The specific working principle of this application is as follows: The lifting cylinder 14 and the horizontal cylinder 24 cooperate to make the loading suction cup 31 pick up the magnet and place it on the first placement seat 42. Then the loading suction cup 31 leaves and prepares for the loading of the next magnet. The first gripper cylinder 32 is in place. At this time, the first laser cleaner 5 performs laser cleaning on the top side of the magnet. After completion, the loading suction cup 31 and the first gripper cylinder 32 work synchronously to realize the loading of the next magnet. At the same time, the first gripper cylinder 32 moves the cleaned magnet to the second placement seat 42 and performs visual inspection using the first CCD detection module 6. Then, the flipping gripper cylinder 33 clamps the inspected magnet and flips it 180° before placing it on the third placement seat 42. The second laser cleaner 5 cleans the top side of the flipped magnet. Then, the second gripper cylinder 34 places it on the fourth placement seat 42 and performs a second visual inspection using the second CCD detection module 6. After that, the unloading suction cup 35 unloads the magnet and transfers it to the dispensing process. Subsequent magnets will undergo these processes in sequence.

[0058] 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.
