Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding device technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for the production of magnetic tiles. Background Technology

[0002] Magnet tiles are a type of permanent magnet, mainly used in permanent magnet motors. They are tile-shaped and usually made of materials such as neodymium iron boron, ferrite, or AlNiCo. Magnet tiles are the core component of permanent magnet motors. They are arc-shaped tiles used to generate a constant magnetic field. They mainly use permanent magnet materials such as neodymium iron boron, ferrite, or AlNiCo. Below the Curie temperature, their internal magnetic moments spontaneously align to form magnetic domains, which can be directionally magnetized by an external magnetic field.

[0003] As a core component of motors, the number of magnetic tiles assembled varies depending on the type of motor. For example, small stepper motors typically use 4 to 8 magnetic tiles, while industrial drive motors may require 16 to 24 tiles. Existing automatic feeding devices are mostly limited to a single conveying function, simply transporting magnetic tiles to the assembly station in an orderly manner via conveyor belts. This lacks a grouping mechanism, making it difficult to quickly group large quantities of magnetic tiles into specified quantities according to production instructions. Consequently, during the assembly process, manual intervention or sorting equipment is required for secondary sorting operations, thereby reducing the efficiency of feeding and production. Therefore, an automatic feeding device for magnetic tile production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for the production of magnetic tiles. It can push out a corresponding number of magnetic tiles from the belt conveyor through a quantitative pushing part, so that the grouped magnetic tiles move to the adjacent conveyor belt, thereby automatically grouping them during the feeding process. It includes: a feeding unit 100, a grouping pushing unit 200 and a blocking unit 300.

[0034] The feeding unit 100 includes a belt conveyor 101 and a partition 102 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the belt conveyor 101. Multiple magnetic tiles are distributed on the belt conveyor 101, and two notches 103 are opened on the top of the belt conveyor 101 for pushing and discharging materials, respectively.

[0035] A grouping pusher unit 200 is provided on the belt conveyor 101. The grouping pusher unit 200 includes a drive unit 201 and a quantitative pusher unit 202. The drive unit 201 is used to push the quantitative pusher unit 202 to push the magnetic tile out of the notch 103. The quantitative pusher unit 202 can adjust its own length according to the number of magnetic tiles.

[0036] A baffle unit 300 is installed on the belt conveyor 101. The baffle unit 300 includes a baffle part 301 and a power part 302. The baffle part 301 is used to block the notch 103, and the power part 302 is used to drive the baffle part 301 to move.

[0037] The belt conveyor 101 is driven by a built-in motor to move the conveyor belt. The belt conveyor 101 is responsible for conveying the magnetic tiles. The partition 102 is used to block the magnetic tiles from moving forward and to make them stacked in an orderly manner on the conveyor belt. When the magnetic tiles come into contact with the partition 102, the conveyor belt stops moving. Then the drive unit 201 pushes the quantitative pusher 202 to pass through one of the gaps 103 and push the magnetic tiles toward the other gap 103 so that the corresponding number of magnetic tiles are discharged from the gap 103. A secondary conveyor belt is set at the gap 103 where the magnetic tiles are discharged so that the grouped magnetic tiles are pushed onto the secondary conveyor belt to convey the grouped magnetic tiles and continue the feeding process. The quantitative pusher 202 can adjust its own length according to the preset number of magnetic tiles to complete the grouping action of different numbers of magnetic tiles.

[0038] The power unit 302 can drive the baffle 301 to move according to the number of magnetic tile groups, so that the baffle 301 blocks the two notches 103 and only allows the corresponding number of magnetic tiles to be discharged from the notches 103. The baffle 301 is used to close the notches 103 during the pushing and grouping process to prevent the magnetic tiles from accidentally slipping or shifting. After the magnetic tiles are discharged from the belt conveyor 101, the quantitative pushing unit 202 is reset by the drive unit 201, and then the belt conveyor 101 is started. When the magnetic tiles come into contact with the partition 102 again, the group pushing unit 200 repeats the above operation to continuously carry out the group feeding operation.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, a control box 104 is fixedly installed on one side of the belt conveyor 101. The control box 104 is used to control the operation of the device.

[0041] The control box 104 integrates a PLC control system and electrical components. Through preset programs or external commands, it coordinates and controls the start and stop of the belt conveyor 101, the operation of the drive unit 201 of the group pushing unit 200, and the operation of the power unit 302 of the blocking unit 300, ensuring that the magnetic tile feeding and grouping process are executed automatically and orderly according to the set logic.

[0042] In addition, a pressure sensor 105 is embedded on one side of the partition 102. The pressure sensor 105 protrudes from the surface of the partition 102 and is used to detect the stacking pressure of the magnetic tiles.

[0043] When the magnetic tiles and the partition 102 are stacked together, the magnetic tiles exert pressure on the pressure sensor 105. The pressure sensor 105 converts the real-time detected stacking pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system in the control box 104. The control system triggers the belt conveyor 101 to stop. After the magnetic tiles are pushed out by the quantitative pushing part 202, the pressure sensor 105 no longer senses pressure. Then, after the quantitative pushing part 202 is reset, the control box 104 restarts the belt conveyor 101.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the drive unit 201 includes a support frame 201a fixedly connected to one side of the belt conveyor 101. An electric push rod 201b is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 201a. The output end of the electric push rod 201b slides through the support frame 201a and is used to drive the quantitative feeding unit 202 to push materials.

[0046] When the control box 104 issues a drive command, the output end of the electric push rod 201b performs a linear extension and retraction motion, which drives the quantitative pushing part 202 to push the magnetic tiles piled on the conveyor belt out from the notch 103, thereby realizing the power output and direction control of group pushing.

[0047] In addition, the quantitative feeding unit 202 includes two concave plates 202a. Both sides of the two concave plates 202a are provided with a pair of round holes for docking. The two concave plates 202a are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. One of the concave plates 202a is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 201b. The conveying cover 202b located at the notch 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the belt conveyor 101.

[0048] The width of the concave plate 202a is adapted to the thickness of the magnetic tile. One concave plate 202a corresponds to one magnetic tile. Adjacent concave plates 202a can be connected by bolts and nuts. When different numbers of magnetic tiles need to be pushed, the corresponding number of concave plates 202a can be pre-assembled. Driven by the electric push rod 201b, the concave plates 202a accurately push the corresponding number of magnetic tiles out of the material pushing notch 103. The material conveying cover 202b fixed at the material discharging notch 103 forms a guide channel for the discharged magnetic tiles. After being guided by the material conveying cover 202b, the magnetic tiles fall accurately onto the adjacent secondary conveyor belt, ensuring that the grouped magnetic tiles enter the subsequent feeding process in an orderly manner.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4This is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the baffle part 301 includes two baffles 301a. The top of the two baffles 301a is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 301b. A rectangular groove 301c is opened on one side of the inner wall of the two notches 103. The two baffles 301a slide in the corresponding rectangular grooves 301c respectively.

[0051] The tops of the two baffles 301a are fixedly connected by the connecting plate 301b to form a whole. Together with the rectangular grooves 301c opened on the inner walls of the two notches 103, they form a sliding guide mechanism. When the power unit 302 drives the connecting plate 301b to move, the two baffles 301a slide synchronously along the rectangular grooves 301c, which can accurately cover or expose the notches 103, so that the width of the notches 103 matches the total length of the concave plate 202a, thereby preventing the magnetic tiles from accidentally slipping during the grouping and pushing process.

[0052] The bottom of both baffles 301a is hollowed out, and multiple rollers 301d are rotatably connected to the inner wall of both baffles 301a. The rollers 301d roll in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 301c.

[0053] The roller 301d converts the sliding friction between the baffle 301a and the rectangular groove 301c into rolling friction, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the baffle part 301 moves, making the electric telescopic rod 302b drive the connecting plate 301b to move more smoothly and efficiently, reducing mechanical wear and energy consumption.

[0054] In addition, the power unit 302 includes a support base 302a fixedly connected to the top of the belt conveyor 101, and an electric telescopic rod 302b fixedly connected to one side of the support base 302a. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 302b is fixed to the connecting plate 301b.

[0055] When the control box 104 issues a command, the electric telescopic rod 302b pushes and pulls the connecting plate 301b through its telescopic action, thereby driving the baffle 301a to slide along the rectangular groove 301c, so as to accurately block or release the notch 103 and provide reliable dynamic protection for the magnetic tile grouping and pushing process.

[0056] During use, the corresponding number of concave plates 202a are pre-assembled according to the quantity in each group of magnetic tiles. Then, the electric telescopic rod 302b pushes and pulls the connecting plate 301b, thereby driving the baffle 301a to slide along the rectangular groove 301c, so that the width of the notch 103 matches the total length of the group of concave plates 202a. Next, a secondary conveyor belt is set at the position of the material conveyor hood 202b. After the setting is completed, the magnetic tiles are neatly arranged on the belt conveyor 101, and the belt conveyor 101 transports the magnetic tiles to the partition 102. When the magnetic tile comes into contact with the pressure sensor 105, the pressure sensor 105 converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control box 104 to trigger the belt conveyor 101 to stop running.

[0057] Next, the control box 104 issues a command to start the electric push rod 201b. Its output end pushes the concave plate through one of the notches 103 and pushes the magnetic tile toward the other notch 103. During this process, the concave plate 202a pushes the same number of magnetic tiles as the concave plate 202a and pushes them into the conveyor hood 202b. The magnetic tiles are then guided by the conveyor hood 202b and fall accurately onto the adjacent secondary conveyor belt to continue group feeding using the secondary conveyor belt. After the magnetic tiles are discharged, the electric push rod 201b drives the quantitative pushing part 202 to reset. At this time, the pressure sensor 105 is no longer under pressure. The control box 104 restarts the belt conveyor 101 and conveys new magnetic tiles to the partition 102. The above process is repeated to realize continuous automated group feeding operation.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
