Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic component feeding technology, and in particular to a feeding machine for installing magnetic components. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated manufacturing process of 3C products, the precise and efficient installation of magnetic components has always been a key factor affecting product performance and production line cycle time.

[0003] Currently, magnet installation in the 3C industry mostly relies on manual assistance or a combination of traditional vibratory feeders and simple cylinders for feeding and pressing. These methods have significant limitations: First, vibratory feeders are prone to magnetic pole reversal, disordered alignment, or even mutual attraction when conveying strongly magnetic materials, leading to jamming or missed feeding. Second, ordinary metal pushing mechanisms may magnetize the magnets, affecting their magnetic properties or attracting impurities, reducing product yield. Third, existing equipment lacks high-precision online detection and feedback mechanisms, making it difficult to monitor in real time whether the magnets are accurately positioned and installed, easily causing process errors or quality defects. Fourth, pressing mechanisms generally lack sufficient guiding accuracy, easily leading to misalignment or impact during high-speed production, affecting the consistency of installation depth, and even damaging precision electronic components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art, such as magnets being easily magnetized or contaminated during the conveying process, insufficient accuracy and poor stability in the feeding and pressing process, lack of real-time status monitoring during production, and inability to prevent errors. Therefore, a feeding machine for installing magnet components is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A feeding machine for mounting magnet components includes an inverted U-shaped mounting base. A feeding mechanism for storing and discharging magnets is provided in the middle of the inverted U-shaped mounting base. A driving device for driving the feeding mechanism to rotate is installed at the top of the inverted U-shaped mounting base. A magnet pressing mechanism for pressing down magnets is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the inverted U-shaped mounting base.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the C-shaped mounting base is provided with a pushing device for pushing the output magnet of the feeding mechanism to the position of the pressing magnet mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a turret rotatably mounted at the bottom of the C-shaped mounting base, a turntable fixedly mounted on the turret, the turntable having six circular through holes, and copper tubes for storing magnets fixedly fitted inside the circular through holes. The bottom of the C-shaped mounting base has a feeding through hole with the same radius as the circular through hole. Optical fibers for detecting whether the magnet has fallen are symmetrically fixedly mounted at the bottom of the C-shaped mounting base. The top of the C-shaped mounting base has six mounting through holes for placing magnets.

[0009] Preferably, a turntable for fixing the top of the copper tube is rotatably mounted on the top of the C-shaped mounting base, a motor is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top of the C-shaped mounting base, a drive wheel is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor, and a transmission wheel for fixing the top turntable is rotatably mounted on the top of the C-shaped mounting base. A pulley is connected between the transmission wheel and the drive wheel through a coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing device includes a feeding cylinder fixedly installed at the bottom end of the C-shaped mounting base, a limiting slide rail fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom end of the C-shaped mounting base, a traction plate fixedly installed at the output end of the feeding cylinder and slidably connected to the limiting slide rail, a limiting block fixedly installed on the rear part of the outer wall of the bottom end of the C-shaped mounting base, the limiting block having a limiting groove, a transmission rod fixedly installed at the rear end of the traction plate for slidably connecting to the limiting groove, and the top end of the transmission rod having an annular through hole for placing a magnet, and a limiting plate fixedly installed at the front side of the C-shaped mounting base for limiting the traction plate.

[0011] Preferably, the magnet pressing mechanism includes a guide slide rail fixedly installed at the rear end of the U-shaped mounting base, a traction slide plate slidably mounted on the guide slide rail, a transmission cross plate fixedly mounted on the traction slide plate, a loading block fixedly mounted on the rear side of the limiting block, a guide rod fixedly mounted on the top of the loading block, the transmission cross plate slidably connected to the guide rod, a magnetic block cavity opened in the middle of the loading block, and a pressing head for pressing the magnet fixedly mounted at the bottom of the middle of the transmission cross plate, and the pressing head slidably connected to the magnetic block cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model achieves a fully automated cycle from material storage and feeding to final pressing through the coordinated operation of the feeding mechanism, the pushing device, and the pressing magnet mechanism. The driving device 2 automatically rotates the turret, precisely delivering the magnets inside the copper tube to the working position, reducing the need for repeated manual handling and thus improving production efficiency, effectively adapting to the mass production needs of modern assembly lines. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism uses copper tubes as the storage and conveying channel for the magnets, effectively preventing magnetization or impurity adsorption during transport, ensuring the cleanliness of the magnets.

[0014] 2. In this invention, the magnet slides inside the copper tube, operated by a non-magnetic push rod and pressure head. This helps reduce direct contact and mechanical damage to the magnet body by personnel and tools, effectively improving product yield. Simultaneously, through a through-beam optical fiber, it monitors in real time whether the magnet has properly fallen from the copper tube, preventing production accidents caused by missed installations or jamming. Furthermore, the limiting structures in the pushing device and pressing mechanism help ensure the linearity and stability of the pushing and pressing actions, thereby avoiding installation position deviations caused by mechanism wobbling.

The shaft section of the transmission wheel 24 is rigidly connected to the central shaft of the turntable 33 through a flange. The shaft section is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing at the top of the C-shaped mounting base 1 to achieve low-resistance support.

[0025] A drive device 2 for driving the feeding mechanism 3 to rotate is installed at the top of the C-shaped mounting base 1. A magnet pressing mechanism 5 for pressing down magnets is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the C-shaped mounting base 1. The magnet pressing mechanism 5 includes a guide slide rail 52 fixedly installed at the rear end of the C-shaped mounting base 1.

A loading block 58 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the limiting block 45. A guide rod 511 is fixedly installed at the top of the loading block 58. The transmission cross plate 55 and... The guide rod 511 is slidably connected, the loading block 58 has a magnetic block cavity 59 in the middle, the bottom of the transmission plate 55 is fixedly installed with a pressure head 510 for squeezing the magnet, and the pressure head 510 is slidably connected with the magnetic block cavity 59.

[0026] Spring 57 is nested on guide rod 511, with its lower end abutting against the annular step on the top surface of loading block 58 and its upper end contacting the end face of linear bearing 56 to provide restoring force.

[0027] The bottom end of the C-shaped mounting base 1 is provided with a pushing device 4 for pushing the output magnet of the feeding mechanism 3 to the position of the pressing magnet mechanism 5.

[0028] The pushing device 4 includes a feeding cylinder 41 fixedly installed at the bottom of the C-shaped mounting base 1. A limiting slide rail 46 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the C-shaped mounting base 1. A traction plate 42 that is slidably connected to the limiting slide rail 46 is fixedly installed at the output end of the feeding cylinder 41. A limiting block 45 is fixedly installed on the rear part of the outer wall of the bottom of the C-shaped mounting base 1. The limiting block 45 has a limiting groove 44. A transmission rod 43 that is slidably connected to the limiting groove 44 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the traction plate 42. The top end of the transmission rod 43 is an annular through hole for placing a magnet. A limiting plate 47 for limiting the traction plate 42 is fixedly installed on the front side of the C-shaped mounting base 1.

[0029] The rear end of the transmission rod 43 is fixed to the traction plate 42 by welding and reinforcing ribs. The front end has an annular through hole with a diameter that matches the magnet and rounded edges to avoid scratching the magnet. The feeding cylinder 41, the pressing cylinder 51, and the motor 21 are all controlled by a servo controller.

[0030] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the feeding cylinder 41, the pressing cylinder 51, and the motor 21 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0031] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0032] When conveying magnets:

[0033] First, the operator places multiple magnets into the six copper tubes 31 on the turret 34. After starting the equipment, the motor 21 drives the transmission wheel 24 to rotate via the drive wheel 22 and pulley 23, which in turn drives the turntable 33 and the turret 34 fixed thereto to rotate in increments. This process precisely rotates a copper tube 31 filled with magnets to the top pushing position, that is, the position aligned with the pushing device.

[0034] Subsequently, the pusher 4 performs the feeding action.

[0035] Once the copper tube is in place, the feeding cylinder 41 is activated, and its output end pushes the traction plate 42 to slide forward along the limiting slide rail 46. The traction plate 42 then drives the transmission rod 43 to slide within the limiting slide groove 44 of the limiting block 45, ensuring the linear accuracy of the movement. The annular through hole at the front end of the transmission rod 43 moves precisely to the bottom of the copper tube, smoothly pushing out the magnet inside. During this process, the through-beam fiber optic cable 36 monitors in real time whether the magnet has successfully fallen, preventing jamming or omission. The magnet is finally pushed into the magnetic block cavity 59.

[0036] Finally, the magnet pressing mechanism 5 completes the final installation.

[0037] After the magnet is in place, the pressing cylinder 51 is activated, pushing the traction slide plate 54 downward along the guide rail 52. The traction slide plate 54 drives the transmission cross plate 55 to move vertically downward along the guide rod 511. The pressing head 510 at the bottom of the transmission cross plate 55 is then precisely inserted into the magnetic block cavity 59 of the loading block 58, pressing the magnet located in the cavity smoothly and vertically into the target workpiece, completing the entire installation process.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
