Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor assembly technology, and in particular to a feeding device for conveying magnetic tiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated assembly of permanent magnet motors, the conveying efficiency of the magnetic tile loading process directly affects the production line cycle time. Currently, the industry generally pursues high-speed, continuous, and large-capacity magnetic tile conveying solutions to match the rapidly increasing demand for motor production capacity.

[0003] In existing technologies, magnetic tile gripping and conveying technology is a widely used solution. A robotic arm grips magnetic tiles one by one from a material frame, moves them to the assembly station, and releases them, meeting the needs of automation. However, the single-action cycle of gripping and conveying is long, requiring separate actions for gripping, lifting, translating, and releasing. Furthermore, the storage capacity of gripping and conveying is limited, necessitating frequent frame replacements and production interruptions. In addition, even with a push-type feeding scheme, magnetic tiles often bounce, shift, or tip over after being pushed out due to inertial impact on the stopping mechanism, resulting in inaccurate positioning and affecting the continuity of subsequent gripping or conveying. In summary, existing technologies suffer from low efficiency and insufficient reliability in magnetic tile conveying due to intermittent operation modes, incompatibility with large-capacity continuous feeding requirements, and unreliable terminal positioning. Utility Model Content

[0007] A magnetic tile hopper includes a wall panel and sidewalls, and at least one trough is defined inside the hopper. The wall panel is positioned facing a pushing mechanism, and the trough is configured to load magnetic tiles vertically. An opening is provided on the wall panel at a position corresponding to the bottom of the trough, and the opening is configured to allow the aforementioned pushing member to extend into it, thereby pushing the magnetic tiles at the bottom of the trough out of the hopper.

[0008] A stacking mechanism, located on the opposite side of the magnetic tile box relative to the pushing mechanism, is used to receive magnetic tiles pushed out from the magnetic tile box by a pushing component. The stacking mechanism includes a platform and a stop block. The stop block is located at the end of the platform away from the magnetic tile box.

[0013] Furthermore, the outlet guide component is provided with a guide groove for passing through the magnetic tile in the direction of the material trough, with one end of the guide groove facing the magnetic tile box and the other end facing the stacking mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is provided between the bottom of the trough and the outlet guide component to sense whether there are still magnetic tiles at the bottom of the trough.

[0015] Furthermore, the magnetic tile box is fixedly connected to a rotating assembly, which allows the magnetic tile box to rotate toward the pushing mechanism; it also includes a rotation limiting assembly, which is configured to abut against the wall panel to limit its continued rotation when the magnetic tile box rotates to the target position.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a rotating chamber and a rotating shaft, the rotating chamber being fixed to the magnetic tile box, and the rotating shaft passing through the rotating chamber.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0029] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0030] This utility model proposes a feeding device for conveying magnetic tiles.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the feeding device for conveying magnetic tiles includes a pushing mechanism 1, a magnetic tile box 2, and a stacking mechanism 3. The magnetic tiles are loaded in the magnetic tile box 2 and moved from the magnetic tile box 2 to the stacking mechanism 3 by the pushing mechanism 1. The pushing mechanism 1 includes a driving structure 11, a sliding component 12, and a slide rail 13. The driving structure 11 is driven to the sliding component 12. The sliding component 12 includes a sliding block 121 and a pushing component 122. The sliding block 121 is slidably connected to the slide rail 13, while the pushing component 122 is fixed to the sliding block 121. The pushing component 122 is configured to be driven by the driving structure 11 and move horizontally along the slide rail 13 via the sliding block 121, thereby pushing the magnetic tiles. The magnetic tile cassette 2 includes a wall panel 21 and a side wall 22, and at least one material trough 23 is defined inside the magnetic tile cassette 2. The wall panel 21 is disposed facing the pushing mechanism 1. The material trough 23 is configured to load magnetic tiles in a vertical direction. An opening 211 is provided on the wall panel 21 at a position corresponding to the bottom of the material trough 23. The opening 211 is configured to allow the aforementioned pushing member 122 to extend into it, thereby pushing the magnetic tiles at the bottom of the material trough 23 out of the magnetic tile cassette 2. The stacking mechanism 3 is disposed on the opposite side of the magnetic tile cassette 2 relative to the pushing mechanism 1, and is used to receive the magnetic tiles pushed out of the magnetic tile cassette 2 by the pushing member 122.

[0032] It should be noted beforehand that in the initial state of operation of this utility model, the magnetic tiles are stacked vertically from the material trough 23, and the pushing mechanism 1 periodically pushes the magnetic tiles out from the bottom of the material trough 23, thereby entering the stacking mechanism 3. The periodicity means that after one magnetic tile is pushed out from the bottom of the material trough 23 by the pushing mechanism 1, the magnetic tile above it falls to the bottom of the material trough 23 due to gravity, and is then pushed out from the bottom of the material trough 23 by the pushing mechanism 1. It should be noted that after the magnetic tiles enter the stacking mechanism 3, they are pushed to the next process by the driving component (not shown), specifically from the discharge port 33 on the side of the stacking mechanism 3. Since this utility model only involves the magnetic tile feeding process, the structure of this part is not described in detail, but only briefly summarized.

[0033] It should also be noted that the present invention has some connecting plates adapted around the magnetic tile box 2. The connecting plates are used to set some functional components. The functional components refer to components such as photoelectric sensor 6, rotating assembly 7 and lock 9 that add some specific functions to the magnetic tile box 2. Please refer to the following description and drawings.

[0034] Finally, this utility model only shows the main structure, which is specifically set on the workbench (not shown). It can be placed on any workbench with sufficient area / volume according to the objective conditions of the factory. This utility model does not limit the standard workbench structure.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the drive structure 11 refers to a hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic cylinder can provide stronger stability while ensuring sufficient output force. In other embodiments of this utility model, the drive structure 11 can also be a conventional mechanical transmission component such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a cam structure. Compared to pneumatic cylinders, the output force is relatively weak, but it can still be used normally. Electric cylinders are relatively easier to maintain, but the cost is higher. Cam structures have a shorter stroke, but they can still achieve the basic effect of this utility model. For more mechanical transmission components, please refer to the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pushing component 122 includes a push rod portion 1221 and a mounting portion 1222. The push rod portion 1221 includes a fixed end 12211 fixed to the mounting portion 1222 and a free end 12212 facing the magnetic tile box 2. The free end 12212 is used to push the magnetic tile. The pushing component 122 is fixed to the sliding block 121 through the mounting portion 1222. After the driving structure 11 forms a mechanical transmission to the sliding assembly 12, the pushing component 122 follows the sliding block 121 to move horizontally, thereby pushing the magnetic tile.

[0037] Specifically, it also includes an entrance guide component 4 for guiding the movement path of the push rod part 1221. The entrance guide component 4 includes a first guide plate 41 and a second guide plate 42 stacked on top of each other, and an inlet 43 is formed between the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42 for the push rod part 1221 to pass through.

[0038] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 1 also includes a sliding limiting assembly 14 for limiting the range of motion of the pushing component 122. The mounting portion 1222 has a limiting plate 1223 in a direction perpendicular to the slide rail 13. The sliding limiting assembly 14 includes a first sliding limiting member 141 and a second sliding limiting member 142. The first sliding limiting member 141 is located on the path of the limiting plate 1223 near the magnetic tile box 2 and abuts against the limiting plate 1223. The second sliding limiting member 142 is located at the end of the slide rail 13 away from the magnetic tile box 2 and abuts against the mounting portion 1222. The range of motion of the pushing component 122 is limited between the first sliding limiting member 141 and the second sliding limiting member 142. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 The content shown is understood.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, an outlet guide component 5 is also included. The outlet guide component 5 is disposed between the magnetic tile box 2 and the stacking mechanism 3. The outlet guide component 5 is configured to correspond to the bottom of the material trough 23, and restricts the movement direction of the magnetic tile after it is pushed out of the material trough 23. It can be understood that the working principle of the outlet guide component 5 is that after the magnetic tile is pushed out of the bottom of the material trough 23, the outlet guide component 5 restricts the movement path of the magnetic tile within its own structure, thereby playing a limiting role.

[0040] More specifically, the outlet guide component 5 is provided with a guide groove 51 for passing through the magnetic tile in the direction of the material trough 23. One end of the guide groove 51 is towards the magnetic tile box 2, and the other end is towards the stacking mechanism 3. After the magnetic tile is pushed out of the bottom of the material trough 23 by the push component 122, it enters the guide groove 51 and passes through the guide groove 51 into the stacking mechanism 3.

[0041] More specifically, the stacking mechanism 3 includes a platform 31 and a stop 32. The platform 31 is a platform set in the horizontal direction. After the magnetic tile is sent out from the guide groove 51, it is placed on the platform 31. The stop 32 is located at the end of the platform 31 away from the magnetic tile box 2. The stop 32 is configured to receive and position the magnetic tile pushed out from the guide groove 51. It can be understood that after the magnetic tile is sent out from the guide groove 51, its horizontal movement is stopped by the stop 32 at the end of the platform 31. The stop 32 mainly plays a limiting role.

[0042] More specifically, in order to address the phenomenon that the magnetic tile may bounce off the stacking mechanism 3 due to the force of the pushing component 122 (i.e., the magnetic tile bounces off the platform 31 due to inertia), the stop block 32 is constructed with a recess 321 for accommodating the magnetic tile. The recess 321 acts as a limit to prevent the magnetic tile from bouncing off.

[0043] More specifically, in order to cooperate with the mechanical automation technology of this utility model, a photoelectric sensor 6 is provided between the bottom of the material trough 23 and the outlet guide component 5 to sense whether there are still magnetic tiles at the bottom of the material trough 23. Understandably, the length of the magnetic tile is actually longer than the width of the bottom of the material trough 23 (i.e., the side wall 22). Therefore, the photoelectric sensor 6 is provided between the bottom of the material trough 23 and the outlet guide component 5 and can sense the presence or absence of the magnetic tile.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the magnetic tile material box 2 is fixedly connected to a rotating component 7. The purpose of rotating the magnetic tile material box 2 is to facilitate the loading activity. After the magnetic tile material box 2 is loaded, it needs to be rotated again to return to the vertically placed working state. The magnetic tile material box 2 can be rotated towards the pushing mechanism 1 through the rotating component 7. Specifically, the rotating component 7 includes a rotating chamber 71 and a rotating shaft 72. The rotating chamber 71 is fixedly connected to the magnetic tile material box 2, and the rotating shaft 72 passes through the rotating chamber 71. It also includes a rotation limiting component 8. The rotation limiting component 8 is configured to abut against the wall plate 21 when the magnetic tile material box 2 rotates to the target position to limit its continued rotation. Specifically, the rotation limiting component 8 includes a bracket 81 at both ends and a stop post 82 connected between the brackets 81. When the magnetic tile material box 2 rotates and abuts against the stop post 82, it stops rotating. It can be understood that when the magnetic tile material box 2 is loaded with a connecting plate, when the connecting plate in front of the wall plate 21 abuts against the stop post 82, the magnetic tile material box 2 stops rotating.

[0045] Specifically, to keep the magnetic tile box 2 in a vertical position, a lock 9 is provided via a connecting plate. The lock 9 fixes the magnetic tile box 2 by engaging itself. Specifically, a structure of the lock 9 is proposed here to illustrate its concept. The lock 9 includes a fixing part 91 and a connecting part 92. The fixing part 91 is the structure that keeps the lock 9 stationary, while the connecting part 92 is a structure that, through its own movement, can contact the fixing part 91 to form a stable connection, thereby achieving the locking function. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, the fixing part 91 is a block with a recess, and the connecting part 92 is a block that can be inserted into the recess by rotating itself. In some other embodiments of this utility model, the fixing part 91 can also be a block with a hollow groove, and the connecting part 92 can be inserted into or locked into the block with the hollow groove by moving itself. There are many such structures, and can also be adapted by referring to the prior art.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to improve industrial efficiency, multiple material slots 23 can be defined in the magnetic tile material box 2, and the corresponding inlet 43, through 211, guide groove 51, sliding component 12, and slide rail 13 are set in accordance with the number of material slots 23. Please refer to the attached drawings of this utility model. Two magnetic tile material boxes 2 are arranged in a straight line, and four material slots 23 are provided in one magnetic tile material box 2. The magnetic tile material box 2 is provided with a partition wall 24 inside, and the material slots 23 are separated by the partition wall 24. Since this part only involves the stacking of quantities, it is only briefly described here and will not be elaborated.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
