Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic magnetic tile collecting device. Background Technology
[0002] Magnet tiles are permanent magnet components widely used in motors, loudspeakers, and other fields. They are typically shaped like thin, curved sheets. During the production and testing of magnet tiles, individual tiles need to be collected, stacked, and transported for subsequent packaging or processing.
[0003] Currently, many manufacturers still use manual methods for receiving and stacking materials. Operators need to continuously pick up magnetic tiles from the production equipment exit and neatly stack them on pallets or transfer carts. This manual method has problems such as high labor intensity, low production efficiency, and easy damage to magnetic tiles due to fatigue. Moreover, with the continuous rise in labor costs, it seriously restricts production efficiency.
[0004] Some automated material receiving equipment has also been developed, but existing equipment often has problems such as complex structure, large footprint, poor adaptability to different specifications of magnetic tiles, and easy to cause the stack to be scattered due to inaccurate positioning during the stacking process.
[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design an automated magnetic tile receiving device to solve the above problems.
[0006] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solution of this utility model and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that the above content is known to those skilled in the art simply because it has been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to disclose an automatic magnetic tile collecting device, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of magnetic tile collecting and reduces collecting costs.
[0008] This utility model discloses an automatic magnetic tile receiving device, comprising a receiving unit and a transfer unit, wherein:
[0009] The receiving unit includes a workbench with a magnetic tile stacking channel. One end of the magnetic tile stacking channel is equipped with a limiting baffle. The limiting baffle has a first position where it is raised to close the magnetic tile stacking channel, and a second position where it is lowered to open the magnetic tile stacking channel.
[0010] A push plate is provided parallel to the side of the limiting baffle facing away from the magnetic tile stacking channel; the push plate is connected to a horizontal drive mechanism to move along the extension direction of the magnetic tile stacking channel.
[0011] A stacking channel is formed between the push plate and the limit baffle that is in the raised state;
[0012] A push block is provided at the entrance of the palletizing channel, and the push block is connected to a push drive mechanism to move along the extension direction of the palletizing channel;
[0013] A translation mechanism is provided on the side of the palletizing channel; the output end of the translation mechanism extends into the palletizing channel and is set opposite to the plane of the push block, forming a space for receiving the magnetic tile between them;
[0014] The transfer unit includes a reciprocating swing arm and a gripper at its end; the swing trajectory of the swing arm covers the entrance of the magnetic tile loading station and the stacking channel, so that the working end of the gripper can reach the entrance of the magnetic tile loading station and the stacking channel.
[0015] Preferred technical solution: The gripping surface of the jaws is provided with positioning grooves. These are used to accurately position the magnetic tile when gripping it, preventing slippage or deflection.
[0016] A preferred technical solution: The output end of the translation mechanism is connected to a buffer block via an elastic element. The plane of the buffer block is positioned opposite to the plane of the push block, forming a space for receiving the magnetic tile. This buffer mechanism can absorb the impact force when the magnetic tile is pushed in, preventing the magnetic tile from breaking due to collision.
[0017] Preferred technical solution: The magnetic tile stacking channel is formed by two parallel guide baffles set on the worktable. This guide baffles guide and limit the stacking of magnetic tiles, and the stacking length can be controlled by adjusting the spacing between the guide baffles.
[0018] The preferred technical solution: Two guide baffles extend outward from the end near the pusher plate towards the outer side of the magnetic tile stacking channel, forming a funnel-shaped guide opening. This facilitates the pusher plate smoothly pushing the magnetic tile stack into the magnetic tile stacking channel.
[0019] Preferred technical solution: The magnetic tile stacking channel has a material-retrieving area on the side away from the push plate, and the guide baffles on both sides of the material-retrieving area are lower than the vertical stacking height of the magnetic tiles. This facilitates the removal of the stacked magnetic tile piles by operators or robotic arms.
[0020] Preferred technical solution: The swing arm is driven by a rotary drive mechanism, which is a rotary cylinder or a servo motor.
[0021] A preferred technical solution: The gripper includes two opposing clamping plates, which are controlled by a separate drive device to move relative to each other. This ensures stable and reliable clamping and provides sufficient space between the two clamping plates for the push block to pass through.
[0022] Preferred technical solution: Anti-collision buffer blocks are installed on the work platform at the projection position of the swing arm to improve the safety of equipment operation.
[0023] Preferred technical solution: The jacking drive mechanism controls the jacking stroke through limit photoelectric control to ensure that each jacking action is precise and consistent.
[0024] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0025] This invention achieves full automation of magnetic tile production from loading to stacking through the automatic material handling of the transfer unit's swing arm and grippers, and the automatic stacking of the receiving unit via pushing and translating actions. This significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. The coordinated action of the limiting baffles, stacking channels, pushing blocks, and translating mechanisms provides precise positioning and limiting for each magnetic tile, ensuring neat stacking and preventing scattered stacks. The modular design of the receiving and transfer functions results in a compact overall structure, small footprint, and easy integration into existing production lines.

[0037] Example:
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic magnetic tile receiving device, including a receiving unit and a transfer unit. The main components of this utility model will be described in detail below:
[0039] The receiving unit is responsible for stacking individual magnetic tiles into neat stacks. It includes a workbench 1, on which a magnetic tile stacking channel 2 is formed by two parallel guide baffles 21. A limiting baffle 3 is located at the front end of the magnetic tile stacking channel 2, which can be driven vertically by a cylinder or similar device. When the limiting baffle 3 is raised (in the first position), it closes the front opening of the magnetic tile stacking channel 2; when the limiting baffle 3 is lowered (in the second position), it opens the front opening of the magnetic tile stacking channel 2. A pusher plate 4 is parallel to the side of the limiting baffle 3 furthest from the magnetic tile stacking channel 2. The pusher plate 4 is connected to a horizontal drive mechanism 5 installed on the workbench 1, allowing it to move towards or away from the magnetic tile stacking channel 2. When the limiting baffle 3 is raised, a temporary stacking channel 6 is formed between the limiting baffle 3 and the pusher plate 4.
[0040] At the entrance of the stacking channel 6, i.e., the end where the magnetic tiles enter, a push block 7 is provided. The push block 7 is driven by a push drive mechanism 8 and can move in a direction approaching or away from the stacking channel 6. A translation mechanism 9 is installed on the side of the stacking channel 6, and the output end of the translation mechanism 9 extends downward into the stacking channel 6. In this embodiment, the output end of the translation mechanism 9 is connected to a buffer stop 14 through an elastic element 13 such as a spring. The plane of the buffer stop 14 is directly opposite the plane of the push block 7, forming a space between them for accommodating the magnetic tiles, which are stacked within this space.
[0041] To facilitate the pusher plate 4 in pushing the magnetic tile stack into the magnetic tile stacking channel 2, the end of the guide baffle 21 is extended outward into a funnel-shaped guide opening 15. The end of the magnetic tile stacking channel 2 away from the pusher plate 4 is the material picking area. The guide baffle 21 in this area is lower in height, lower than the height of the vertically placed magnetic tiles, making it convenient to remove the entire stack of magnetic tiles.
[0042] The transfer unit is responsible for picking up individual magnetic tiles from the magnetic tile loading station of upstream equipment (such as a positioning mechanism or conveyor belt) and transporting them to the receiving unit. It includes a swing arm 10 driven by a rotary drive mechanism 16, with grippers 11 mounted at the end of the swing arm 10. Each gripper 11 consists of two opposing clamping plates, each driven by an independent small cylinder. Its clamping surface has positioning grooves 12 that match the curved edge of the magnetic tile, ensuring stable gripping. The swing range of the swing arm 10 is designed to allow the grippers 11 to accurately reach the loading station and the entrance to the stacking channel 6. For safety, anti-collision buffer blocks 17 are installed on the workbench 1 below the swing arm 10.
[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the usage method and principle of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the limiting baffle 3 is in the raised state, the push plate 4 is in the initial position away from the magnetic tile stacking channel 2, the top push block 7 is in the initial position away from the stacking channel 6, and the translation mechanism 9 drives the buffer block 14 to extend into the stacking channel 6, leaving a space of the thickness of a magnetic tile between it and the top push block 7.
[0044] The swing arm 10 of the transfer unit swings to the loading station, the gripper 11 picks up a magnetic tile, and then the swing arm 10 swings to the entrance of the stacking channel 6 to place the magnetic tile into the receiving space between the top push block 7 and the buffer block 14.
[0045] Pushing and stacking: The pushing drive mechanism 8 pushes the pushing block 7 towards the stacking channel 6, pushing the magnetic tile towards the buffer block 14. During the pushing process, the translation mechanism 9 moves a distance in the same direction as the pushing block 7. Under the action of the elastic element 13, the buffer block 14 provides a certain buffering force and allows slight backward movement, so that the magnetic tile can be smoothly attached to the block, completing one stacking operation.
[0046] Repeat the above steps, and the magnetic tiles will be stacked one by one along the stacking channel 6 to form a magnetic tile stack.
[0047] Once the magnetic tile stack has been stacked to the predetermined number or length, the translation mechanism 9 fully retracts the buffer block 14. Simultaneously, the limit baffle 3 lowers. The horizontal drive mechanism 5 drives the push plate 4 to move towards the magnetic tile stacking channel 2, pushing the entire magnetic tile stack into the magnetic tile stacking channel 2. Then, the push plate 4 returns to its initial position at the far left, the limit baffle 3 rises again, the translation mechanism 9 and the buffer block 14 reset, and the device enters the next working cycle.
[0048] Repeat the previous step to stack the magnetic tiles row by row along magnetic tile stacking channel 2; when the magnetic tile stacks are stacked in the material picking area, they are removed by subsequent equipment or manually.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
