Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic steel feeding technology, and in particular to a floating magnetic steel feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Magnet feeding refers to the automated conveying, positioning, or transfer of permanent magnet materials (magnets, such as neodymium iron boron, ferrite, samarium cobalt, etc.), which is widely used in industrial scenarios that require precise installation of magnets, such as motor manufacturing, sensor assembly, and medical device production.

[0003] When magnets are produced and fed one by one, it is not easy to keep the initial position of each magnet completely consistent. Furthermore, stacked or adjacent magnets may stick together or shift due to magnetic force, causing the actual position to deviate from the theoretical position during feeding. If the position of the magnets is not calibrated, it will affect the accuracy of subsequent feeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art where the initial position of each magnet is not easily kept completely consistent during magnet feeding, and stacked or adjacent magnets may stick together or shift due to magnetic force, causing the actual position to deviate from the theoretical position during feeding. The failure to calibrate the position of the magnets will affect the accuracy of subsequent feeding. Therefore, a floating magnet feeding mechanism is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a floating magnetic steel feeding mechanism, including a frame, a linear guide rail connected to the top of the frame by bolts, a floating block inserted through the linear guide rail, a spring fixedly connected to one side of the floating block, a support plate fixedly connected to one end of the spring, the bottom of the support plate fixedly connected to the linear guide rail, a chip removal hole opened at the bottom of the linear guide rail, and a cylinder pushing mechanism provided on one side of the linear guide rail.

[0006] Preferably, the cylinder pushing mechanism includes a cylinder body and a pushing block. The bottom of the cylinder body is bolted to the frame, one end of the cylinder body is fixedly connected to the pushing block, and the pushing block is slidably connected to the linear guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and a laser sensor is bolted to one side of the mounting bracket.

[0008] Preferably, a protective cover plate is bolted to the top of the linear guide rail, and a feeding cylinder is installed at one end of the protective cover plate, with a feeding port at the top of the feeding cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is provided with a collection port, the bottom of the collection port is provided with a collection hopper, and the top of the collection hopper is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame, and the top of the reinforcing base has a mounting hole.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, the support plate and the floating block are connected by a spring, the push block is connected to the cylinder body, the magnet enters the linear guide rail, the cylinder body pushes the push block to move, and the push block pushes the magnet to move inside the linear guide rail, so as to realize the stacking of multiple magnets inside the linear guide rail. The position of the offset magnet can be calibrated by the spring and the floating block, thereby realizing floating calibration, reducing the position deviation when the magnet is fed, and ensuring the feeding accuracy.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, the collecting hopper is fixedly connected to the frame, and the top of the collecting hopper is connected to the frame. The debris on the surface of the magnet falls into the collecting hopper through the through hole at the bottom of the frame, which can reduce the accumulation of debris inside the linear guide rail and the interference with the operation of other components, thereby reducing the workload of manually cleaning the linear guide rail and facilitating the collection and centralized discharge of debris inside the collecting hopper.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown: A floating magnetic steel feeding mechanism includes a frame 2. A linear guide rail 7 is bolted to the top of the frame 2. A floating block 72 is inserted through the linear guide rail 7. A spring 73 is fixedly connected to one side of the floating block 72. A support plate 71 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 73. The bottom of the support plate 71 is fixedly connected to the linear guide rail 7. A chip removal hole 74 is opened at the bottom of the linear guide rail 7. A cylinder pushing mechanism 1 is provided on one side of the linear guide rail 7. The cylinder pushing mechanism 1 includes a cylinder body 11 and a pushing block 12. The bottom of the cylinder body 11 is bolted to the frame 2. One end of the cylinder body 11 is fixedly connected to the pushing block 12. The pushing block 12 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 7.

[0022] The cylinder body 11 generates thrust by venting, driving the pusher block 12 to slide along the linear guide rail 7. After pushing, the cylinder body 11 resets, and the pusher block 12 returns to its initial position, waiting for the next magnet. When the magnet enters the linear guide rail 7 from the feed cylinder 6, if there is a slight positional deviation, the floating block 72 will adaptively fine-tune under the elastic action of the spring 73, yielding or pushing in the direction of deviation. The restoring force of the spring 73 corrects the magnet to the center position of the linear guide rail 7, ensuring that the magnet is upright and avoiding jamming or feeding misalignment. The chip removal hole 74 is opened at the bottom of the linear guide rail 7 to remove debris, dust, or residual impurities from magnet processing inside the linear guide rail 7, preventing impurities from accumulating and obstructing the magnet conveying, thereby ensuring normal feeding of subsequent magnets.

[0023] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 2. A laser sensor 22 is bolted to one side of the mounting bracket 21. A protective cover plate 5 is bolted to the top of the linear guide rail 7. A feeding cylinder 6 is installed at one end of the protective cover plate 5. A feeding port is opened at the top of the feeding cylinder 6. A collection port is opened at the bottom of the frame 2. A collection hopper 4 is set at the bottom of the collection port. The top of the collection hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the frame 2. A reinforcing base 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 2. A mounting hole is opened at the top of the reinforcing base 3.

[0024] The mounting holes on the reinforced base 3 facilitate the installation and fixation of the entire mechanism at the bottom. The protective cover 5 prevents the magnet from jumping out of the linear guide rail 7 during the conveying process, and at the same time seals the top of the linear guide rail 7 to reduce the entry of external impurities. The laser sensor 22 can detect in real time whether there is a magnet in the linear guide rail 7 and whether the magnet is in place, and feeds the signal back to the control system. The system can control the start and stop of the cylinder pushing mechanism 1. The chips and dust falling from the chip discharge hole 74 at the bottom of the linear guide rail 7 enter the collection hopper 4 through the collection port to collect impurities and chips, which facilitates the centralized discharge of impurities and chips in the future, and avoids impurities from contaminating the production line or affecting the operation of other components.

[0025] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, the magnet enters the linear guide rail 7 from the feeding port of the feeding cylinder 6. When the laser sensor 22 detects that the magnet has reached the designated position, the external controller starts the cylinder body 11. The cylinder body 11 pushes the push block 12 to move inside the linear guide rail 7, changing the position of the magnet inside the linear guide rail 7. As the magnets are fed in sequence, the push block 12 pushes in sequence, realizing the stacking of the magnets inside the linear guide rail 7. During the stacking, the spring 73 drives the floating block 72 to move inside the linear guide rail 7, realizing the floating calibration of the magnets and reducing the positional deviation of the magnets inside the linear guide rail 7. As the magnets are fed in, the push block 12 pushes the subsequent magnets to move, causing the initial magnet to fall out of the linear guide rail 7, realizing the feeding of the magnets. When the magnets move inside the linear guide rail 7, the debris outside the magnets falls into the collection hopper 4 through the chip discharge hole 74 and is collected. Opening the sealing cover at the bottom of the collection hopper 4 can concentrate and discharge the collected debris.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
