Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material bin structure technology, specifically to a material bin structure with magnetic grabbing and feeding function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated manufacturing, the loading of magnetic workpieces (such as metal bolts, stamped parts, and small magnetic components) is one of the key processes for continuous production line operation. With the acceleration of production pace and the increasing requirements for product precision, existing magnetic workpiece loading technologies have gradually revealed many problems that urgently need to be solved, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient, stable, and precise automated production.

[0003] In existing technologies, the loading of magnetic workpieces mostly relies on manual gripping or simple mechanical conveying (such as belt conveyors and vibratory feeders). Manual gripping is not only inefficient, but long-term operation can also lead to loading errors due to fatigue, increasing the risk of workpiece damage or production line downtime. Traditional mechanical conveying lacks a targeted magnetic positioning structure, and magnetic workpieces are prone to displacement and falling during the conveying process due to vibration and inertia. This is especially true for small, thin magnetic workpieces, where conveying stability is even more difficult to guarantee, requiring frequent manual intervention and adjustments, which seriously restricts the overall efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a material bucket structure with magnetic gripping and feeding functions.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a material barrel structure with magnetic gripping and feeding function, comprising: a material barrel, wherein the material barrel is provided with a receiving part for placing magnetic workpieces, and the bottom of the material barrel is provided with a feeding channel for discharging magnetic workpieces from the receiving part;

[0006] A feeder is provided on one side of the feeding channel. The feeder has a conveying pipe for guiding the magnetic workpiece inside. The conveying pipe runs through the barrel axis and an inlet is provided on one side of the feeder. The inlet is connected to the feeding channel. An outlet for discharging the workpiece is provided at the bottom of the feeder.

[0007] The inner cavity of the conveying pipe is provided with a magnetic attraction part, which is composed of several magnets. The magnetic attraction part is located in the circumferential position of the conveying pipe and is arranged in a ring array in the conveying pipe.

[0008] One end of the feeding pipe is equipped with a pushing component, which is used to push the workpiece out of the inner cavity of the feeding pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the magnetic pole pairs of the magnets are arranged opposite each other radially along the feed pipe, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets in the circumferential direction are different from each other.

[0010] Preferably, a blower is installed on the outer surface of the feeder, and the blower is connected to the inner cavity of the feed pipe through an air supply pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the receiving part is provided with a feed inlet.

[0012] Preferably, the receiving part is equipped with a cylinder on the side away from the inlet, and the driving end of the cylinder is provided with a pusher head, which is movably disposed inside the feeding channel.

[0013] Preferably, the size of the pusher head matches the internal size of the feeding channel.

[0014] Preferably, the material hopper is provided with a blocking rod at one end near the feeding channel. The blocking rod is driven by a motor and reciprocates within the feeding channel. The motor is a push rod motor.

[0015] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a push rod and a lifting cylinder. The push rod is movably disposed inside the inner cavity of the conveying pipe, and the lifting cylinder is disposed on one side of the conveying pipe. The driving end of the lifting cylinder is provided with a connecting plate, and the driving end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the push rod through the connecting plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model, through the magnetic attraction part, can form a stable adsorption of magnetic workpieces, preventing the workpieces from shifting or falling during transportation.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a material barrel structure with magnetic gripping and feeding function includes: a material barrel 1, the material barrel 1 having a receiving part 2 inside for placing magnetic workpieces 3, and a feeding channel 4 at the bottom of the material barrel 1 for discharging magnetic workpieces 3 from the receiving part 2.

[0031] A feeder 5 is provided on one side of the feeding channel 4. The feeder 5 is provided with a conveying pipe 6 for guiding the magnetic workpiece 3. The conveying pipe 6 runs through the barrel axis of the barrel 1. An inlet 7 is opened on one side of the feeder 5. The inlet 7 is connected to the feeding channel 4. An outlet 8 for discharging the workpiece is provided at the bottom of the feeder 5.

[0032] The inner cavity of the feeding pipe 6 is provided with a magnetic suction part 9, which is composed of several magnets. The magnetic suction part 9 is located in the circumferential position of the feeding pipe 6 and is arranged in a ring array in the feeding pipe 6.

[0033] One end of the feeding pipe 6 is provided with a pushing component, which is used to push the workpiece out of the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 6;

[0034] This application uses a magnetic suction part 9 to form a stable adsorption on the magnetic workpiece 3, preventing the workpiece from shifting or falling during transportation. Combined with the pusher assembly, it can accurately push the workpiece out of the feed pipe 6 outlet 8, replacing manual gripping and greatly improving feeding efficiency.

[0035] Meanwhile, the material bucket 1 can store workpieces in batches, and the feeding channel 4 can stably transport the workpieces to the feeder 5 inlet 7, ensuring that the feeder 5 continuously picks up workpieces and avoids material interruption.

[0036] In addition, the conveying pipe 6 runs through the axis of the material barrel 1, and the overall structure is compact. It does not require too much space and can be directly integrated into the automated production line, reducing the difficulty of equipment layout.

[0037] As a preferred example of this application, the magnetic pole pairs of the magnets are arranged radially opposite to each other along the conveying pipe 6, and the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets in the circumferential direction are different from each other. That is, when the N pole side of one circumferentially adjacent magnet faces the conveying pipe 6, the S pole side of the adjacent magnet faces the conveying pipe 6. The radially opposite magnetic poles make the radial magnetic field distribution of the conveying pipe 6 more uniform, and the adsorption force on the workpiece is more balanced, avoiding the workpiece from shaking or misaligning due to uneven magnetic field, and ensuring the stability of the workpiece posture during the conveying process. The different magnetic poles of adjacent magnets in the circumferential direction can form a continuous "NSN" magnetic field closed loop, which strengthens the overall magnetic field strength in the conveying pipe 6. Even for small-sized, thin magnetic workpieces 3, reliable adsorption can be achieved, reducing the risk of falling during the conveying process.

[0038] As a preferred example of this application, a blower 10 is installed on the outer surface of the feeder 5. The blower 10 is connected to the inner cavity of the conveying pipe 6 through an air supply pipe. The blower 10 blows air into the inner cavity of the conveying pipe 6 through the air supply pipe, which can quickly remove dust, debris and other impurities in the pipe, and prevent impurities from adhering to the surface of the workpiece or getting stuck between the magnetic suction part 9 and the workpiece. This ensures the cleanliness of the workpiece surface and prevents impurities from affecting the adsorption effect. The airflow can reduce the frictional resistance between the workpiece and the inner wall of the conveying pipe 6, assist the pushing component in smoothly pushing the workpiece out, reduce workpiece wear, and at the same time avoid the interruption of feeding caused by the workpiece being stuck due to friction, thus improving the feeding smoothness. Regular air blowing can reduce the accumulation of impurities in the conveying pipe 6, reduce the probability of blockage in the conveying pipe 6, and reduce the frequency and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0039] As a preferred example of this application, the upper end of the receiving part 2 is provided with a feed port 11, through which workpieces can be directly added to the receiving part 2, which is simple and efficient to operate and reduces the time spent on replenishing materials.

[0040] As a preferred example of this application, the receiving part 2 is equipped with a cylinder 12 on the side away from the inlet 7. The driving end of the cylinder 12 is provided with a pusher head 13. The pusher head 13 is movably disposed inside the feeding channel 4. When the remaining workpiece in the material bucket 1 is small, or the workpiece is piled up and cannot slide to the inlet 7 of the feeding channel 4 on its own, the cylinder 12 drives the pusher head 13 to actively push the workpiece to the inlet 7, ensuring that the workpiece continuously enters the feeding channel 4 and avoiding interruption of feeding.

[0041] As a preferred example of this application, the size of the pusher head 13 matches the internal size of the feeding channel 4, and the pusher head 13 fits against the inner wall of the feeding channel 4 to prevent the workpiece from leaking through the gap between the pusher head 13 and the channel wall, ensuring that each push can accurately push the workpiece to the inlet 7 and reduce workpiece residue.

[0042] As a preferred example of this application, the material barrel 1 is provided with a blocking rod 14 at one end near the feeding channel 4. The blocking rod 14 is driven by a motor 15 and reciprocates within the feeding channel 4. The motor 15 is a push rod motor 15, which is installed on the outer wall of the material barrel 1. The blocking rod 14 can control the workpieces to enter the feeding channel 4 one by one through reciprocating drive, thereby preventing multiple workpieces from entering the feeding pipe 6 of the feeder 5 at the same time, and preventing the feeding pipe 6 from getting stuck or the magnetic suction part 9 from failing to attract materials.

[0043] As a preferred example of this application, the pushing assembly includes a push rod 18 and a lifting cylinder 16. The push rod 18 is movably disposed in the inner cavity of the conveying pipe 6, and the lifting cylinder 16 is disposed on one side of the conveying pipe 6. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 16 is provided with a connecting plate 17, and the driving end of the lifting cylinder 16 is connected to the push rod 18 through the connecting plate 17.

[0044] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
