Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the technical field of bag accessories, and more specifically, relate to an automatic snap-on magnet installation machine. Background Technology

[0002] The composite structure of snap-fit ​​and magnet is widely used in automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and precision instruments. The core challenge lies in balancing the rigid requirements of mechanical connections with the dynamic characteristics of magnetic adsorption. Snap-fit ​​components, relying on elastic deformation for rapid connection, must meet mechanical requirements such as insertion / extraction force and vibration resistance. The introduction of magnets adds requirements for magnetic parameters such as magnetic pole orientation and magnetic flux consistency. The coordinated installation of both becomes a key bottleneck restricting production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, most snap-fit ​​and magnet assembly is done manually, requiring workers to push the snap-fit ​​into its internal slots with their fingers. However, because snap-fits contain studs, baffles, and similar structures, the actual assembly process can be troublesome. To improve assembly efficiency, multiple workers are usually assigned to this task simultaneously. While this increases efficiency, it requires more workers and a larger workspace. Furthermore, variations in worker pressure and angle can lead to a lower yield rate, resulting in higher assembly costs for individual snap-fits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic snap-fit ​​magnet installation machine. Through the internal channel structure design of the worktable, it achieves the functions of magnet storage, pushing, and pressing. The horizontal linear movement of the pushing component pushes the magnet to the designated position, and the vertical linear movement of the pressing component presses the magnet into the snap-fit. An air pump provides the power source for the entire installation machine, and a working switch controls the machine's start-up; each start-up completes one magnet insertion into the snap-fit.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic snap-on magnet installation machine, comprising:

[0006] A base installed at the actual work site;

[0007] A pushing assembly disposed on one side of the top of the base includes a pushing base disposed on one side of the top of the base, a horizontal pushing mechanism disposed in the mounting hole of the pushing base, a pushing connector disposed on the top screw of the horizontal pushing mechanism, and a pushing rod disposed in the top groove of the pushing connector.

[0008] A workbench located on the other side of the top of the base includes a positioning base located on the other side of the top of the base and a material conveying top located on top of the positioning base; the material conveying top includes a storage bin mounting hole located on one side of the top of the material conveying top and a material channel located in the middle of the ground of the storage bin mounting hole; the positioning base includes a positioning boss located on the outer surface of the positioning base and a through hole located inside the positioning base penetrating the front and back.

[0013] Furthermore, the material conveying top seat also includes a downward pressure passage located on the top of the material conveying top seat on the same side as the material storage bin mounting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning base also includes a pushing passage located on the top of the positioning base on the same side as the pushing rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the horizontal pushing mechanism is a horizontal linear motion mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the vertical pressing mechanism is a vertical linear motion mechanism.

Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the system includes a pushing component 1, an air pump 2, a working switch 3, a worktable 4, a positioning block 5, a storage bin 6, a magnet 7, a pressing component 8, a base 9, and a buckle 10. The pushing component 1 is installed on one side of the top of the base 9. The air pump 2 is installed on one side of the top of the base 9 and is on the same side as the pushing component 1. The working switch 3 is installed on top of the air pump 2. The worktable 4 is installed on the other side of the top of the base 9 and is on the same side as the pushing component 1. The positioning block 5 is placed in the through hole 423 on the top of the positioning base 42, ensuring that the outer boss of the positioning block 5 is in close contact with the outer surface of the positioning base 42. The storage bin 6 is inserted into the storage bin mounting hole 412 on the top of the material feeder 41. The magnet 7 slides in through the internal material channel of the storage bin 6, filling the storage positions of the worktable 4 and the storage bin 6. The pressing component 8 is installed on the top of the worktable 4, and the buckle 10 is placed on the outside of the worktable 4. The buckle 10 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the material feed top seat 41 and the positioning base 42. The lower surface of the buckle 10 is placed on the positioning boss 422. The bottom positioning device of the buckle 10 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the positioning block 5. The pushing component 1 is powered by the horizontal pushing mechanism 14. The pushing rod 13 of the pushing component 1 pushes the magnet 7 to the designated position through the pushing passage 421.

The air pump provides the power source for the entire installation machine, and the start of the installation machine is controlled by the working switch. Each start completes one magnet insertion into the buckle.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pushing assembly 1 includes a pushing base 11, a pushing connector 12, a pushing rod 13, and a horizontal pushing mechanism 14. The pushing base 11 is installed on one side of the top of the base 9 and is connected to the base 9 by bolts. The horizontal pushing mechanism 14 is installed in the corresponding opening of the pushing base 11. The pushing connector 12 is installed on the top screw of the horizontal pushing mechanism 14. A push rod groove is opened on the top of the pushing connector 12, and a positioning pin hole is opened on the side of the pushing connector 12. The pushing rod 13 is inserted into the push rod groove on the top of the pushing connector 12, and then a positioning pin is inserted into the positioning pin hole on the side of the pushing connector 12 to position the pushing rod 13. The horizontal pushing mechanism 14 is a linear motion structure, for example, a standard circular cylinder can be used. The horizontal pushing mechanism 14 is controlled by the working switch 3 to provide power to the pushing rod 13, thereby controlling the pushing rod 13 to reciprocate on the pushing passage 421, thereby pushing the magnet 7 stored in the storage bin 6 and the material passage 413 of the material top seat 41 to the designated position. The installation machine of the present invention pushes the magnet to a designated position by the horizontal linear movement of the pushing component. The separate structure design of the pushing connector and the pushing rod prevents the horizontal pushing mechanism from jamming due to horizontal deviation caused by part processing errors during horizontal linear movement.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the worktable 4 includes a material feeding top seat 41 and a positioning base 42. The positioning base 42 is installed on the other side of the top of the base 9, on the same side as the pushing component 1.

The positioning pin hole 411 is a pair of pin holes located on the top of the top material conveyor 41, which penetrate the entire top material conveyor 41 and a corresponding positioning pin hole is also opened on the positioning base 42. The storage bin mounting hole 412 is a mounting hole for a storage bin 6 set on the top of the top material conveyor 41. The material channel 413 is set on the bottom surface of the storage bin mounting hole 412 and extends from the bottom surface of the storage bin mounting hole 412 to the top surface of the pushing passage 421. The pressing passage 414 is a channel set on the top of the top material conveyor 41 for the back-and-forth movement of the pressing rod 83. The positioning base 42 includes a push passage 421, a positioning boss 422, and a through hole 423. The push passage 421 is located at the top of the positioning base 42, and its top surface is composed of a material feed top seat 41, which guides the horizontal linear movement of the push rod 13. The positioning boss 422 is located on the outside of the positioning base 42 and is used to limit the locking buckle 10. The through hole 423 is located inside the push passage 421, below the positioning boss 422, and a positioning block 5 is provided at the through hole 423 to limit the locking buckle 10. The installation machine of this invention realizes the functions of magnet storage, pushing, and pressing through the internal channel structure design of the worktable. The pressing passage and the push passage ensure the guidance of the linear movement of the pressing and pushing components. The design of the storage bin mounting hole and the material channel allows for the storage of a certain amount of magnets for work. The positioning boss and the positioning block set in the through hole achieve bilateral positioning of the locking buckle, ensuring the positional accuracy of the locking buckle.

The pressing base 81 is mounted on the top of the worktable 4 and connected to it by bolts. The vertical pressing mechanism 84 is installed in the corresponding opening of the pressing base 81. The pressing connector 82 is installed on the top screw of the vertical pressing mechanism 84. A push rod groove is formed at the top of the pressing connector 82, and a positioning pin hole is formed on the side of the pressing connector 82. There are many mounting columns inside the buckle 10. The bottom of the pressing rod 83 has a... The U-shaped groove is used to avoid the internal column of the buckle 10. The pressing rod 83 is inserted into the push rod groove at the top of the pressing connector 82. Then, a positioning pin is inserted into the positioning pin hole on the side of the pressing connector 82 to position the pressing rod 83. The vertical pressing mechanism 84 is a linear motion structure, for example, a standard circular cylinder can be used. The vertical pressing mechanism 84 is controlled by the working switch 3 to provide power to the pressing rod 83, thereby controlling the pressing rod 83 to move back and forth on the pressing passage 414, and then pressing the magnet 7, which has been pushed to the designated position, downward into the corresponding opening inside the buckle 10. The installation machine of the present invention presses the magnet into the buckle through the vertical linear motion of the pressing component. Through the separate structure design of the pressing connector and the pressing rod, the vertical direction deviation caused by the machining error of the parts during the vertical linear motion of the vertical pressing mechanism is prevented, thus preventing the vertical pressing mechanism from jamming.
