[0002] In the field of magnet manufacturing and assembly, products made by bonding neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets to iron components typically require magnetization and defect detection. Traditional magnetization involves manually placing weakly magnetized strips of NdFeB magnets into a magnetization coil for saturation magnetization, followed by inspection to identify defective products. This current process relies entirely on manual inspection. This method is not only inefficient and cumbersome, but also prone to missed or false detections due to human error, failing to meet the demands of modern production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated device that integrates magnetization and visual inspection to improve production efficiency and inspection accuracy. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0015] This invention provides an integrated magnetization and visual inspection device to solve the problem of low production and inspection efficiency in the prior art, which requires manual placement of products into a magnetization coil for saturation magnetization and then manual inspection of defective products during assembly, making it impossible to automatically collect good products.

[0016] For ease of understanding, the specific processes in the embodiments of this application are described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 An integrated magnetization and visual inspection device according to an embodiment of this application includes a feeding platform 2, a magnetization device 3, a visual inspection mechanism 4, a receiving and sorting structure 5, and a transport module 6 mounted on a frame 1. The transport module 6 sequentially sends the strip-shaped products located on the feeding platform 2 to the magnetization device 3 and the visual inspection mechanism 4 for saturated magnetization and visual inspection to identify unqualified products. Finally, the transport module 6 sends the qualified strip-shaped products to the receiving and sorting structure 5 for automatic separation and collection of qualified products.

[0017] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment includes two parallel feeding platforms 2, allowing two production lines to process simultaneously. The feeding platforms 2 are used to hold strip-shaped products. Each feeding platform 2 includes a first platform 20 and a second platform 21 arranged at relative intervals. The first platform 20 is equipped with a limiting component 22 to limit the strip-shaped products. Specifically, the limiting component 22 includes an elongated limiting strip 220 arranged along the length of the feeding platform 2 on the first platform 20. The front end of the limiting strip 220 has a limiting block 221 perpendicular to it. A gap is left between the limiting block 221 and the limiting strip 220 for the strip-shaped product to pass through. This gap and one side of the limiting strip 220 achieve the limiting effect on the strip-shaped product.

[0018] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The conveying module 6 includes three conveying components 60 capable of synchronously moving laterally along the length of the feeding platform 2. In this embodiment, they are designated as the first conveying component, the second conveying component, and the third conveying component from left to right. The first conveying component is located to the left of the limiting component 22, the second conveying component is located to the right of the magnetizing device 3, and the third conveying component is located to the right of the vision inspection mechanism 4. When the three conveying components move synchronously to the left, the entire strip-shaped product can be moved laterally, thereby ensuring that the strip-shaped products are conveyed forward synchronously.

[0019] Specifically, the first and second transport components are mounted on the first support platform 20, and the third transport component is mounted on the second support platform 21. Each of the three transport components has an L-shaped connecting plate 63. The two L-shaped connecting plates 63 on the first and second transport components are connected by a first connecting plate 64. The first connecting plate 64 is fixed to a first slider 67 that can move laterally on a first guide rail 66 driven by an electric cylinder 65. The first guide rail 66 is located on one side of the feeding support platform 2. In operation, the electric cylinder 65 can drive the first and second transport components to slide synchronously on the first guide rail 66.

[0020] Furthermore, a second slider 69 is provided on the first guide rail 66 and connected to the first slider 67 via a second connecting plate 68; the second slider 69 is slidably disposed on the second guide rail 70; the second slider is connected to the L-shaped connecting plate at the third conveying assembly. Thus, when the first slider 67 slides, it simultaneously drives the second slider to slide on the second guide rail, achieving synchronous lateral movement among the first, second, and third conveying assemblies, thereby enabling the strip-shaped product to move synchronously laterally.

[0021] Specifically, the conveying assembly 60 includes two grippers 61 disposed on the feeding support platform 2. The grippers 61 are rectangular in shape, and the two grippers 61 clamp the two sides of the strip product by being driven by the gripper cylinder 62.

[0022] See Figure 4 The visual inspection mechanism 4 is located at the rear end of the magnetizing device 3, and is used to automatically collect the good products detected by the visual inspection mechanism 4 in a vertical manner after separation and rotation. The visual inspection mechanism 4 includes an inspection frame 40 mounted on the second support platform 21; a camera 41 is located above the second support platform 21 above the inspection frame 40, and a light source (not shown in the figure) is located below the second support platform 21 facing the camera 41. The inspection frame 40 is equipped with a display 42 connected to the camera 41, which is used to display the defective products in real time and issue an alarm. Then, the defective products in the strip-shaped products are manually removed.

[0023] The magnetizing device 3 is set between the first support platform 20 and the second support platform 21. After the transport module 6 moves the strip product into the magnetizing device 3, the magnetizing device 3 saturates and magnetizes the strip product 6.

[0024] See Figures 5 to 6 The receiving and sorting structure 5 is located at the rear end of the visual inspection mechanism 4, and is used to separate and rotate visually qualified products into a vertical distribution for collection.

[0025] Specifically, the receiving and sorting structure 5 includes a rotary table 50, a pusher plate 51, an X-axis transverse module 52, a sorting plate 53, a lifting cylinder 54, a Y-axis moving module 55, a receiving table 56, a receiving box 57, and a sensor 58. The rotary table 50 rotates 360° via a rotary cylinder 59. The rotary table 50 is used to carry and rotate the qualified products from the sensory detection mechanism 4. The purpose of the rotation is to push the strip-shaped products out vertically, rather than linearly, into the receiving box 57.

[0026] The pusher plate 51 is arranged on the rotary table 50 along the vertical length of the rotary table. The pusher plate 51 is connected to the X-axis transverse module 52, which is a lead screw transverse module. The X-axis transverse module 52 drives the pusher plate 51 to move forward along the X-axis direction of the rotary table, thereby pushing the product located on the rotary table forward into the receiving box 57.

[0027] The material separating plate 53 is horizontally positioned on the rotary table 50 along its horizontal length. The material separating plate 53 is driven to move up and down above the rotary table 50 via a lifting cylinder 54. The lifting cylinder 54 is connected to a Y-axis moving module 55, which moves the lifting cylinder 54 along the Y-axis, thereby synchronously moving the material separating plate 53 along the Y-axis. This movement of the material separating plate along the Y-axis allows the products located on the rotary table to be separated vertically.

[0028] The receiving platform 56 is connected to the discharge port of the rotary table 50; the receiving box 57 is located at the rear end of the receiving platform 56, and the height of the receiving box is lower than that of the receiving platform; after the product is pushed out, it is buffered by the receiving platform and then enters the receiving box. The sensor 58 is located between the receiving platform 50 and the rotary table 50 to sense the position of the front end of the product.

[0029] When the strip-shaped product moves onto the rotary table 50, the sensor 58 senses the position of the front end of the product. The sensor 58 first controls the lifting cylinder 54 to lower the separating plate 54 to a suitable position, i.e., a height that allows the strip-shaped product to be pushed forward. Then, it controls the Y-axis moving module 55 to drive the separating plate 53 to push the product forward to the center line of the rotary table, thus separating a section of the strip-shaped product. Next, the rotary table rotates the separated product by 90°, changing its position from horizontal to vertical. Then, the X-axis horizontal moving module 52 drives the pusher plate 51 to move forward, pushing the strip-shaped product forward to the receiving table 56, where it automatically enters the receiving box 57, thus completing the automatic collection of the product.

[0030] The actual application scenarios are as follows: The semi-magnetized strip product is manually placed on the limiting components of the two first carrier platforms 20, and then the transport module 6 moves the strip product to the right as a whole.

[0031] When the handling module 6 moves the foremost strip product to the magnetizing device 3, the magnetizing device 3 saturates and magnetizes the foremost strip product.

[0032] The transport module 6 continues to move the strip-shaped product forward as a whole. The frontmost strip-shaped product moves to the vision inspection mechanism 4, where the camera takes pictures and analyzes the product status to determine whether it is a defective product. If there is a defective product, it is removed manually. If it is qualified, the next step is continued.

[0033] The transport module 6 moves the entire strip product forward into the rotary table 50. When the sensor 58 senses the front end of the strip product, the separating plate 53 separates a section of the strip product, and the rotary table rotates the strip product 90°. Finally, the pusher plate 51 pushes the separated strip product into the receiving box 57 for collection.

[0034] In summary, the integrated magnetization and visual inspection equipment of this invention effectively solves the problems of traditional magnetization and inspection relying on manual labor, low efficiency, and inability to automatically recover good products, and realizes a high-precision and highly automated production process, greatly improving efficiency.

[0035] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
