[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a magnet assembly fixture 10, including a material rack 11, a pushing device 12, and a pressing device; the material rack 11 is provided with a material channel 111 having a feeding port 1111, and the material channel 111 has a pressing port; the pushing device 12 is connected to the material rack 11, and the pushing device 12 is used to push the magnet in the material channel 111 to the pressing port; the pressing device is connected to the material rack 11, and the pressing device is used to press the magnet at the pressing port onto the iron core.

[0026] In this embodiment, the feed channel 111 serves as the conveying path for the magnets, and the feed inlet 1111 is used to receive the magnets. As the magnet assembly fixture 10 moves towards the iron core, the pusher device 12 pushes the magnets from inside the feed channel 111 to the pressing port. The pressing device then moves towards the pressing port, pressing the magnets into the iron core. Through the cooperation of the pusher device 12 and the pressing device, continuous and automated assembly of the magnets is achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving assembly efficiency.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device 12 includes a bidirectional drive mechanism 121 and a first magnetic steel lever 122. The bidirectional drive mechanism 121 is connected to the material rack 11, and the first magnetic steel lever 122 is connected to the bidirectional drive mechanism 121. The bidirectional drive mechanism 121 is used to drive the first magnetic steel lever 122 to move along a first direction and a second direction. The second direction is parallel to the material channel 111 and perpendicular to the first direction.

[0028] For example, the bidirectional drive mechanism 121 is located on one side of the feed channel 111. The bidirectional drive mechanism 121 can be a bidirectional slide module, etc.

[0029] In this embodiment, when a batch of assembly is completed or when additional magnets are needed, the bidirectional drive mechanism 121 drives the first magnet lever 122 to move away from the material channel 111 along the first direction, freeing up space for the first magnet lever 122 and preventing spatial interference between the first magnet lever 122 and the magnets. After the magnets are loaded, the bidirectional drive mechanism 121 drives the first magnet lever 122 to move along the first direction to align with the material channel 111, and then drives the first magnet lever 122 to move along the second direction into the material channel 111 for pushing.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bidirectional drive mechanism 121 includes a first drive component 1211 and a second drive component 1212. The first drive component 1211 is connected to the material rack 11, the second drive component 1212 is disposed on the first drive component 1211, and the first magnet lever 122 is connected to the first drive component 1211.

[0031] For example, the second drive component 1212 may be a rodless cylinder or the like.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first magnetic paddle 122 can move along a first direction by being powered by the first driving component 1211; the first magnetic paddle 122 can move along a second direction by being powered by the second driving component 1212.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly 1211 includes a support frame 12112 and a first linear driver 12111. The support frame 12112 is movably disposed on the material rack 11. The second drive assembly 1212 is disposed on the support frame 12112, and the first linear driver 12111 is disposed on the material rack 11. The first linear driver 12111 is used to drive the support frame 12112 to move along a first direction.

[0034] For example, the support frame 12112 can be connected to the material rack 11 by at least two sliding members, wherein the sliding members may include guide rails and sliders, etc. The first linear actuator 12111 can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0035] In this embodiment, when a batch of assembly is completed or when the magnet needs to be replenished, the first linear actuator 12111 drives the support frame 12112 to move along the first direction, causing the first magnet lever 122 to leave the feed port 1111, thereby completely freeing up the feeding space of the feed port 1111.

[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device 12 includes a limiting plate 123, which is disposed on the support frame 12112 and is used to open or close the feed port 1111.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the support frame 12112 moves, the limiting plate 123 moves along with the support frame 12112. After the material feeding into the feed channel 111 is completed, the first drive assembly 1211 drives the support frame 12112 to move towards the feed channel 111, causing the limiting plate 123 to close the feed inlet 1111 to prevent the magnet from accidentally falling off. After the material feeding is completed, the first drive assembly 1211 drives the support frame 12112 to move away, and the limiting plate 123 opens the feed inlet 1111 to allow new magnets to be added.

[0038] Reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting plate 123 is provided with a receiving groove 1231, which is used to receive the first magnetic steel lever 122.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the limiting plate 123 moves, the first magnetic steel paddle 122 can be embedded in the receiving groove 1231, thereby avoiding interference between the limiting plate 123 and the first magnetic steel paddle 122.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing device includes a third driving component 131 and a magnetic pin 132. The third driving component 131 is correspondingly arranged with the pressing port, and the magnetic pin 132 is connected to the third driving component 131. The third driving component 131 is used to drive the magnetic pin 132 to move along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0041] For example, the third drive assembly 131 can be a second linear actuator 1311, or the third drive assembly 131 can include a second linear actuator 1311 and a moving plate 1312. The moving plate 1312 is connected to the second linear actuator 1311, and the second linear actuator 1311 is used to drive the moving plate 1312 to move in a third direction. The magnetic pin 132 is disposed on the moving plate 1312. The second linear actuator 1311 can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The moving plate 1312 can be connected to the material rack 11 by at least one sliding member.

[0042] In this embodiment, the third driving component 131 drives the magnet pin 132 to move along a third direction, so that the magnet pin 132 contacts the magnet at the pressing port and presses the magnet into the iron core.

[0043] Reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnet assembly fixture 10 includes a material stop device connected to the material rack 11, which is used to limit the magnet in the material channel 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the feeding device 12 pushes the magnet toward the pressing port, the blocking device can limit the magnet and prevent it from tipping over.

[0045] Reference Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the material blocking device includes a fourth drive assembly 141 and a second magnetic steel lever 142. The fourth drive assembly 141 is connected to the material rack 11 and is parallel to the material channel 111. The second magnetic steel lever 142 is connected to the fourth drive assembly 141 and is used to drive the second magnetic steel lever 142 to move along a second direction.

[0046] For example, the structure of the fourth drive assembly 141 can be the same as that of the second drive assembly 1212, and the second magnet lever 142 can be connected to the rack 11 by at least one sliding member.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fourth drive component 141 and the second magnet lever 142 cooperate to achieve the function of limiting the magnet.

[0048] Taking the second drive assembly 1212 and the fourth drive assembly 141 as examples, both of which are rodless cylinders, the limiting function of the second magnet paddle 142 will be explained.

[0049] When feeding material into the feed channel 111, the fourth drive assembly 141 intakes air to move the second magnetic steel lever 142 to the feed inlet 1111. During the feeding process, as the magnets continuously enter, the second magnetic steel lever 142 continuously moves in the opposite direction to the feed inlet 1111, at which point the fourth drive assembly 141 exhausts air. When the second magnetic steel lever 142 aligns with the pressing port, it stops feeding, and the fourth drive assembly 141 resumes air intake. Throughout the process, the second magnetic steel lever 142 acts as a limiter for the magnets, thereby preventing them from tipping over.

[0050] During the pressing process, the second drive assembly 1212, through air intake, pushes the second magnetic steel lever 142 to advance the magnet towards the pressing port. The second magnetic steel lever 142 also moves in the opposite direction to the feed port 1111, at which point the fourth drive assembly 141 exhausts air. When a magnet aligns with the pressing port, the second magnetic steel lever 142 stops moving, and the fourth drive assembly 141 resumes air intake. After the magnet is pressed and moved away from the slide, since the second magnetic steel lever 142 is no longer obstructed by the magnetic steel ejector pin 132, the fourth drive assembly 141, through air intake, pushes the second magnetic steel lever 142 to engage with the magnet. This process repeats until all magnets in the feed channel 111 are pressed.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnet assembly fixture 10 includes a limiting block 15 disposed on the material rack 11. The limiting block 15 is opposite to the end of the material channel 111 away from the feed inlet 1111 and the second magnet lever 142. The limiting block 15 is used to limit the second magnet lever 142.

[0052] In this embodiment, the limiting block 15 acts as a physical stop, cooperating with the second magnetic steel lever 142 to limit its movement range and ensure that the material blocking device operates at a predetermined position. That is, during the feeding process into the material channel 111, as the second magnetic steel lever 142 continuously moves in the opposite direction to the feed inlet 1111, when the movement of the foremost magnet causes the second magnetic steel lever 142 to contact the limiting block 15, it indicates that the entire material channel 111 has been filled. At this time, the limiting block 15 prevents the second magnetic steel lever 142 from continuing to move forward, thereby also preventing the movement of all subsequent magnets and achieving automatic stopping of feeding.

All assembly robots are opposite to the material trays 40. The magnet assembly fixtures 10 are installed on the robotic arms 30 one by one.

[0055] In this embodiment, the automated assembly of magnets is achieved in a way that enables high efficiency in large-scale production and improves overall production efficiency.

The support base 61 is disposed on the material tray 40, and the probe sensor 62 is disposed on the support base 61, with the probe of the probe sensor 62 facing the material tray 40.

[0059] In this embodiment, the probe sensor 62 can detect whether the iron core is missing a magnet. That is, when the probe of the probe sensor 62 retracts, it will generate an electrical signal, indicating that the iron core is equipped with a magnet; when the probe of the probe sensor 62 does not retract and there is no electrical signal, it indicates that the iron core is not equipped with a magnet.

[0060] Reference Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnet assembly equipment includes a material sensor 70, which is disposed on the material tray 40. The number of material sensors 70 is the same as the number of fixtures 50. The material sensors 70 correspond one-to-one with the fixtures 50, and the light-emitting end of the material sensor 70 faces the fixture 50.

[0061] For example, the material sensor 70 can be an ultrasonic sensor or the like.

[0062] In this embodiment, the material sensor 70 is used to detect whether there is an iron core on the fixture 50, so as to facilitate the next step.

[0063] Reference Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnet assembly equipment includes a position sensor 80, which is disposed on the material tray 40. The number of position sensors 80 is the same as the number of fixtures 50, and the position sensors 80 correspond one-to-one with the fixtures 50.

[0064] For example, the position sensor 80 can be a through-beam photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0065] In this embodiment, the positioning sensor 80 assists the material tray 40 in rotating, facilitating the positioning of the fixture 50. This allows the iron core requiring magnet assembly to easily reach the assembly position, and also facilitates the arrival of the already assembled iron core at the magnet detection assembly 60.
