Description

Technical Field

[0001] This case relates to a device for separating ferromagnetic materials by magnetic attraction, and in particular to a ferromagnetic material separation device with an automatic chip removal function. Prior Technology

[0002] To ensure that specific materials are free of contaminants, the use of magnetic attraction to separate ferromagnetic substances has been widely applied in various fields. Ferromagnetic material separation equipment utilizes a magnetic structure to adsorb ferromagnetic substances from the material being processed, thus achieving separation. However, when ferromagnetic material separation equipment is installed as part of an automated production line, it typically requires shutdown and manual removal of the adsorbed ferromagnetic substances after a period of use, impacting the production capacity of the automated line and thus requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides an automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device, comprising a body, a magnetic suction assembly, a drive assembly, and a controller.

The housing includes an internal space, opposing front and back sides, with the internal space located between the front and back sides. The magnetic plate is disposed within the internal space. The power source is connected to the magnetic plate to drive the magnetic plate to displace along the first direction within the internal space. The drive assembly is connected to the magnetic suction assembly. The controller is electrically connected to the power source and the drive assembly. The controller controls the drive assembly to drive the magnetic suction assembly to displace along the first direction between a first position and a second position. The first position is closer to the first space than the second position. When the magnetic suction assembly is in the second position, the controller controls the power source to drive the magnetic plate to displace closer to the front or back side.

[0004] Therefore, the automatic chip removal ferromagnetic material separation equipment can automatically control the magnetic suction component to approach the feed inlet to attract ferromagnetic materials or move away from the feed inlet to remove chips. When the magnetic suction component moves away from the feed inlet, the controller controls the magnetic plate to move away from the front, so that the front of the housing of the magnetic suction component has no magnetic attraction, and the ferromagnetic materials originally attracted to the front of the housing can be automatically unloaded to complete the chip removal.

[0008] In some embodiments, the aforementioned first wing has first grooves at both ends in the second direction, and the second wing has second grooves at both ends in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0018] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of one embodiment of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the magnetic attraction component of one embodiment of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention located in a first position; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the magnetic attraction component of one embodiment of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention located in a second position; Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of one embodiment of the magnetic attraction component of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention; Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the magnetic attraction component of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention; Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of another embodiment of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention; and Figure 7 is a side view of one embodiment of the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device of this invention. The automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device separates ferromagnetic materials from materials through magnetic attraction and can automatically unload the adsorbed ferromagnetic materials through control.

[0019] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device includes a body 10, a magnetic suction assembly 20, a drive assembly 30, and a controller 40. The body 10 includes a chip discharge port 13 and opposing inlet ports 11 and 12. The chip discharge port 13 is located on one side of the 12. The body 10 includes a first space S1 and a second space S2. The first space S1 is located between the inlet port 11 and the 12. The second space S2 is adjacent to one side of the first space S1 and communicates with the chip discharge port 13. The magnetic suction assembly 20 is displaceable along a first direction D1 within the second space S2 and includes a housing 21, a magnetic plate 22, and a power source 23. The housing 21 includes an internal space 213, opposing front and back faces 211 and 212. The internal space 213 is located between the front and back faces 211 and 212. The magnetic plate 22 is disposed within the internal space 213. Power source 23 is connected to magnetic plate 22 to drive magnetic plate 22 to move along the first direction D1 within internal space 213. Drive assembly 30 is connected to magnetic suction assembly 20. Controller 40 is electrically connected to power source 23 and drive assembly 30. Controller 40 controls drive assembly 30 to drive magnetic suction assembly 20 to move along the first direction D1 between first position P1 and second position P2. First position P1 is closer to first space S1 than second position P2. When magnetic suction assembly 20 is in second position P2, controller 40 controls power source 23 to drive magnetic plate 22 to move closer to front 211 or back 212.

[0020] In this way, the magnetic adsorption component 20 of the automatic chip removal ferromagnetic material separation equipment can adsorb ferromagnetic materials in the material entering the machine body 10, and after adsorbing the ferromagnetic materials, it can be controlled to move away from the feed port 11 and control the magnetic plate 22 to move away from the front 211 of the housing 21. In this way, the magnetic adsorption component 20 can be controlled to automatically complete the removal of ferromagnetic materials after adsorbing them.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, the body 10 serves to carry the magnetic attraction component 20 and the drive component 30, and provides space for the passage and separation of ferromagnetic materials. In some embodiments, the body 10 is a rectangular hollow box structure containing a relatively connected inlet 11 and outlet 12. The inlet 11 is for material input, and the outlet 12 outputs the material after the ferromagnetic material has been removed. The area between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 is a first space S1. The material enters the first space S1 from the inlet 11, and the magnetic attraction component 20 magnetically attracts the ferromagnetic material in the material corresponding to the first space S1. After passing through the first space S1, the ferromagnetic material in the material is removed, and the material after the ferromagnetic material is removed is then output from the outlet 12. In these embodiments, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are both rectangular in shape.

[0022] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, 6, and 7, the second space S2 is adjacent to the first space S1 on one side along the first direction D1, and the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. Here, after the magnetic suction component 20 attracts ferromagnetic substances from the material passing through the first space S1, the magnetic suction component 20 then moves to the second space S2 to remove the ferromagnetic substances. This distinguishes the area through which the material passes and the working area for removing ferromagnetic substances, preventing the material from being recontaminated after the ferromagnetic substances have been removed.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are located at the same position in the first direction D1 and at different positions in the second direction D2, while the chip discharge port 13 is connected to the second space S2, and in the second direction D2, the outlet 12 is closer to the chip discharge port 13 than the inlet 11.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the magnetic attraction component 20 is used to move to the boundary between the first space S1 and the second space S2 to attract ferromagnetic substances in the material passing through the first space S1. The housing 21 of the magnetic attraction component 20 is used to support the magnetic plate 22 and the power source 23. The magnetic plate 22 is used to provide magnetic attraction force, and the power source 23 is used to drive the magnetic plate 22 to move within the housing 21 along the first direction D1.

[0025] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the shell 21 is a hollow hexagonal structure. In these embodiments, the shell 21 includes a front face 211, a back face 212, and an internal space 213 located between the front face 211 and the back face 212. The front face 211 is the surface used to attract ferromagnetic materials, while the back face 212 is away from the front face 211. The internal space 213 provides space for the magnetic plate 22 to move. When the magnetic plate 22 moves to be close to the front face 211 of the shell 21, the magnetic plate 22 provides magnetic attraction to the front face 211 of the shell 21, thus attracting ferromagnetic materials. When the magnetic plate 22 moves away from the front face 211 and closer to the back face 212, the magnetic attraction of the front face 211 of the shell 21 disappears, and the ferromagnetic materials attracted to the front face 211 naturally fall off.

[0026] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the magnetic plate 22 is used to provide magnetic attraction. The magnetic plate 22 may be, but is not limited to, a single plate-like structure (as shown in Figure 4) or a plate-like structure composed of multiple magnetic elements 221 (as shown in Figure 5). In some embodiments, the shape and size of the magnetic plate 22 roughly correspond to the shape and size of the front surface 211 of the housing 21, so as to provide optimal magnetic attraction to the front surface 211 when the magnetic plate 22 is attached to the front surface 211.

[0027] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the magnetic plate 22 comprises a plurality of magnetic attractors 221 forming a plate-like structure. In these embodiments, the magnetic attractors 221 are arranged in a matrix along a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that are perpendicular to each other. In these embodiments, the magnetic plate 22 further comprises a surface layer 222, in which each magnetic attractor 221 is received and fixedly attached, and then housed within the housing 21, thereby facilitating assembly.

[0028] The power source 23 is used to drive the magnetic plate 22 to move along the first direction D1 within the internal space 213. In some embodiments, the power source 23 is a pneumatic / hydraulic driven cylinder. In these embodiments, the power source 23 has a telescopic rod 231, which can extend and retract along the first direction D1. Here, the power source 23 is disposed on the back side 212 of the housing 21, and the telescopic rod 231 penetrates the back side 212 of the housing 21 and connects to the magnetic plate 22. In this way, the power source 23 can drive the magnetic plate 22 to move within the internal space 213 of the housing 21 through the telescopic rod 231. Specifically, when the telescopic rod 231 of the power source 23 extends and retracts, the telescopic rod 231 of the power source 23 can drive the magnetic plate 22 to move to be close to or away from the front side 211, and can attract ferromagnetic material on the front side 211 or release ferromagnetic material from the front side 211.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, the drive assembly 30 is used to drive the entire magnetic attraction assembly 20 to move along the first direction D1 within the body 10. In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 includes a drive cylinder 31, which includes a drive member 311. The drive cylinder 31 is a pneumatic / hydraulic drive cylinder, capable of driving the drive member 311 to move back and forth. In some embodiments, there are two drive assemblies 30, each disposed on opposite sides of the body 10. In these embodiments, the housing 21 of the magnetic attraction assembly 20 further includes a first wing 214 and a second wing 215, and the body 10 further includes a first side opening 14 and a second side opening 15. Here, the first wing 214 and the second wing 215 extend from the shell 21 in the opposite direction along a third direction D3 perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, that is, the first wing 214 extends from the shell 21 along the third direction D3 toward one side of the shell 21, and the second wing 215 extends from the shell 21 along the third direction D3 toward the other side of the shell 21.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, in some embodiments, the first side opening 14 and the second side opening 15 are opposite to each other and respectively penetrate the opposite sides of the body 10 in the third direction D3, connecting to the second space S2. In these embodiments, in the second direction D2, the first side opening 14 and the second side opening 15 are located at the same position and are both located between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 of the body 10; furthermore, in the first direction D1, the first side opening 14 and the second side opening 15 are located at the same position and respectively overlap the chip discharge port 13. Here, the first wing 214 of the magnetic suction assembly 20 protrudes from the body 10 through the first side opening 14, and the second wing 215 protrudes from the body 10 through the second side opening 15. The drive assembly 30 can be connected to the first wing 214 or the second wing 215, thereby driving the magnetic suction assembly 20 to move linearly along the first direction D1.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, in some embodiments where the housing 21 of the magnetic attraction assembly 20 includes a first wing 214 and a second wing 215, the height of the first wing 214 in the second direction D2 is equal to the height of the first side opening 14 in the second direction D2, and the height of the second wing 215 in the second direction D2 is equal to the height of the second side opening 15 in the second direction D2. Therefore, the magnetic attraction assembly 20 can be stably displaced along the first direction D1 through the engagement of the first wing 214 with the first side opening 14 and the engagement of the second wing 215 with the second side opening 15.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, in some embodiments, the height of the first side opening 14 in the second direction D2 is less than the height of the first wing 214 in the second direction D2, and the height of the second side opening 15 in the second direction D2 is less than the height of the second wing 215 in the second direction D2. Furthermore, the first wing 214 has first grooves 2141 at both ends in the second direction D2, and the second wing 215 has second grooves 2151 at both ends in the second direction D2. In these embodiments, the first wing 214 of the magnetic attraction assembly 20 passes through the first side opening 14 and is fitted onto the portion of the body 10 adjacent to the first side opening 14 with the first groove 2141. The second wing 215 passes through the second side opening 15 and is fitted onto the portion of the body 10 adjacent to the second side opening 15 with the second groove 2151. This avoids the swaying of the magnetic attraction assembly 20 and further improves the stability of the magnetic attraction assembly 20's displacement along the first direction D1.

[0033] The controller 40 is used to automatically control the magnetic suction assembly 20 and the drive assembly 30 to automatically complete the removal of ferromagnetic materials. In some embodiments, the controller 40 can also be electrically connected to the feeding unit at the same time to control the feeding of the feeding unit. Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the following describes one embodiment of the specific control method of the controller 40. In some embodiments where the controller 40 is electrically connected to the feeding unit at the same time, before the controller 40 controls the feeding unit to input materials from the feeding port 11, the controller 40 controls the drive assembly 30 to drive the magnetic suction assembly 20 to move along the first direction D1 to the boundary position (i.e., the first position P1) between the first space S1 and the second space S2, and the power source 23 of the magnetic suction assembly 20 drives the magnetic plate 22 to abut against the front surface 211 of the housing 21 (as shown in Figure 2). At this time, the front surface 211 of the housing 21 of the magnetic suction assembly 20 is adjacent to the first space S1, and the magnetic plate 22 provides magnetic attraction force to the front surface 211.

[0034] In this state, the material input body 10 can be manually controlled by the operator, or the material can be input from the inlet 11 by the feeding unit controlled by the controller 40. During the material input process, when the material passes through the first space S1, the front surface 211 of the magnetic attraction component 20 adjacent to the first space S1 can attract ferromagnetic substances in the material. After the front surface 211 of the housing 21 of the magnetic attraction component 20 attracts ferromagnetic substances, the controller 40 is controlled to perform the removal of ferromagnetic substances.

[0035] In some embodiments, the controller 40 may be manually controlled by an operator to remove ferromagnetic materials; it may also control the removal of ferromagnetic materials based on the duration of material input; or it may be controlled by a vision judgment module through visual monitoring of the area ratio of ferromagnetic materials adsorbed on the front 211 of the housing 21 to control the removal of ferromagnetic materials. When the controller 40 is controlled to remove ferromagnetic materials, firstly, the input of material is stopped manually by the operator or controlled by the controller 40. Then, the controller 40 controls the drive component 30 to move the magnetic suction component 20 away from the first space S1 along the first direction D1 and completely enter the second space S2. During this process, the magnetic plate 22 of the magnetic suction component 20 remains in contact with the front 211 of the housing 21, ensuring that the ferromagnetic materials adsorbed on the front 211 of the housing 21 are carried away from the first space S1 and into the second space S2, preventing the ferromagnetic materials from falling into the discharge port 12 and contaminating the material.

[0036] Next, when the position of the magnetic suction component 20 corresponds to the chip discharge port 13, the controller 40 controls the magnetic suction component 20 to move to the second position P2. That is, the controller 40 controls the power source 23 to drive the magnetic plate 22 away from the front side 211 of the housing 21 (as shown in Figure 3). When the magnetic plate 22 is away from the front side 211 of the housing 21, the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic suction component 20 on the front side 211 of the housing 21 disappears. Then, the ferromagnetic material originally adsorbed on the front side 211 of the housing 21 can naturally fall off and be discharged from the chip discharge port 13, completing the automatic removal of ferromagnetic material. There is no need for operators to manually remove the ferromagnetic material adsorbed on the magnetic suction component 20, which improves convenience.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1, in some embodiments, the body 10 further includes a flow guide 16. The flow guide 16 is a sheet structure, and is inclinedly disposed within the first space S1. One end of the flow guide 16 is located at the inlet 11, and the other end is located at the boundary between the first space S1 and the second space S2. Therefore, when material is input into the body 10 from the inlet 11, the material is guided by the flow guide 16 to move towards the boundary between the first space S1 and the second space S2, increasing the probability of the material entering the body 10 contacting the magnetic attraction component 20 and ensuring that ferromagnetic substances in the material are effectively removed.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 7, in some embodiments, the body 10 further includes a third space S3, which is adjacent to the other side of the first space S1. In these embodiments, the body 10 has two chip discharge ports 13 and two magnetic suction components 20. Each chip discharge port 13 is connected to the second space S2 and the third space S3, and each magnetic suction component 20 is disposed in the second space S2 and the third space S3, respectively.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, in these embodiments, the drive assembly 30 is a bidirectional pressure cylinder. That is, the drive assembly 30 has two drive members 311, each located at opposite ends of the pressure cylinder 31. In these embodiments, each drive member 311 of the drive assembly 30 is connected to each magnetic attraction assembly 20. Therefore, a single drive assembly 30 can drive each magnetic attraction assembly 20 to move independently, reducing the configuration space required by the drive assembly 30.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1, in some embodiments where the body 10 includes a third space S3, the number of guide members 16 is two. One end of each guide member 16 is located at the inlet 11, the other end of one guide member 16 is located at the boundary between the first space S1 and the second space S2, and the other end of the other guide member 16 is located at the boundary between the first space S1 and the third space S3. Therefore, when material passes through the body 10 from the inlet 11, the material can be diverted by the guide members 16 to either the second space S2 or the third space S3. Simultaneously, the magnetic adsorption components 20 adsorb ferromagnetic substances within the material entering the body 10, improving the separation effect of the ferromagnetic substances.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1, 6, and 7, in some embodiments, the automatic chip-removing ferromagnetic material separation device further includes a support and guide assembly 50 to provide support for the magnetic attraction assembly 20 and the drive assembly 30, and to guide the magnetic attraction assembly 20 to move stably along the first direction D1. In these embodiments, the support and guide assembly 50 includes a bushing 51 and a shaft 52. The bushing 51 is fixed to the body 10, one end of the shaft 52 is connected to the magnetic attraction assembly 20, and the other end is displaceable along the first direction D1 and passes through the bushing 51. Thus, when the drive assembly 30 drives the magnetic attraction assembly 20 to move, the magnetic attraction assembly 20 is supported and guided by the shaft 52 and the bushing 51, enabling it to move stably along the first direction D1.
