TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal injection molding, in particular to an automatic material taking and discharging device of a metal powder injection molding machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal powder injection molding technology, as an advanced powder metallurgy forming method, is widely used in the manufacture of high-precision and complex-shaped metal parts. This technology mixes metal powder with binder, injects it into the mold for forming, and then goes through processes such as debinding and sintering to finally obtain the finished product. In this process, the automatic material taking and discharging device is one of the key equipment, responsible for taking the formed workpiece out of the mold and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production process. The traditional automatic material taking and discharging device usually uses mechanical hands, suction cups and other components to achieve the extraction and placement of workpieces through servo motors and control systems.
[0003] The existing automatic material taking and discharging device has some significant defects in actual application. First, during the material taking process, due to the inaccuracy of the cooperation between the mechanical hand and the suction cup, the workpiece is prone to falling during suction and lifting, which not only affects the production efficiency, but also may cause workpiece damage and increase the scrap rate. Second, after taking the material, there are often some iron filings left in the mold, which are difficult to completely remove, affecting the cleanliness of the mold and thus the quality and precision of the next forming operation. The iron filings attached in the mold not only shorten the service life of the mold, but also may cause defects on the surface of the formed parts, reducing the qualification rate of the products. Therefore, it is of great practical significance and application value to develop an automatic material taking and discharging device that can effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an automatic material taking and discharging device of a metal powder injection molding machine, which solves the two defects of the existing automatic material taking and discharging device, i.e. the workpiece is prone to falling and the iron filings are left in the mold, affecting the production efficiency and product quality.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application realizes the following technical scheme: an automatic material taking and discharging device of a metal powder injection molding machine, comprising a motor base, the output shaft of the motor base is connected with a vertical rod, the upper end of the vertical rod is connected with a cross beam, a hydraulic cylinder is installed on the upper part of one side of the cross beam, the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder is connected with a mechanical hand at the lower position of the cross beam, the mechanical hand comprises a shell base, a servo motor is installed on the upper part of the shell base, the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the upper part of the servo motor, the output shaft of the servo motor is connected with a screw rod at the inner position of the shell base, the outer part of the screw rod is threadedly connected with a threaded sleeve matched therewith, the lower end of the threaded sleeve longitudinally slides through the inside bottom of the shell base and is connected with a suction head, and a material taking auxiliary mechanism is arranged on both sides of the shell base.
[0006] The material taking auxiliary mechanism comprises a limiting rod connected to one side of the upper end of the threaded sleeve, the other end of the limiting rod is hinged with a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod passes through the inner side wall of the shell seat and is hinged with a connecting rod, the lower end of the connecting rod is connected with a rotating plate, the upper side of the rotating plate is hinged at the lower edge of one side of the shell seat, and the outer part of the rotating plate is longitudinally sleeved with a supporting plate, the supporting plate is located below the adsorption head, and the material taking auxiliary mechanism further comprises an adjusting part for driving the longitudinal displacement of the supporting plate.
[0007] The three-dimensional motion mechanism composed of the motor base, the vertical rod and the cross beam cooperates with the manipulator driven by the hydraulic cylinder to realize multi-degree-of-freedom motion. The core design of the manipulator is the screw-threaded sleeve transmission mechanism driven by the servo motor, which not only controls the lifting motion of the adsorption head, but also realizes the workpiece lifting function through the linkage design of the material taking auxiliary mechanism. It is particularly worth noting that the mechanical linkage relationship between the material taking auxiliary mechanism and the threaded sleeve, through the transmission of the limiting rod, the connecting rod and the connecting rod, converts the linear motion of the threaded sleeve into the rotation of the rotating plate, and finally realizes the lifting and angle adjustment of the supporting plate. This mechanical linkage design avoids the use of additional driving devices, and improves the system reliability.
[0008] Preferably, the shell seat is provided with a limiting groove on both sides, and the connecting rod slides through the limiting groove. By providing the limiting groove on both sides of the shell seat, the movement of the connecting rod is accurately guided. This design has a dual effect: on the one hand, it ensures that the connecting rod maintains a predetermined trajectory during movement and avoids deviation; on the other hand, the structural parameters of the limiting groove can adjust the movement range of the connecting rod, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating plate.
[0009] Preferably, the adsorption head comprises a suction cup connected to the lower end of the threaded sleeve, and a vacuum pump is mounted on the upper side of one side of the suction cup. This compact design directly integrates the vacuum pump above the suction cup, which not only shortens the length of the vacuum pipeline and improves the adsorption response speed, but also avoids the interference of external pipelines. The direct connection of the suction cup and the threaded sleeve ensures the shortest force transmission path and improves the position control accuracy. The vacuum pump is installed on the upper side of one side of the suction cup, which is convenient for maintenance and repair, and does not affect the working space of the suction cup, which reflects good engineering design consideration.
[0010] Preferably, the adjusting part comprises a guide groove arranged on one side of the rotating plate and a stepping motor mounted on the bottom of the rotating plate, a screw rod is rotatably arranged in the guide groove, the screw rod is driven by the stepping motor, the outer part of the screw rod is threadedly connected with a moving block, and the two ends of the moving block are connected with the supporting plate, so that the screw rod-moving block mechanism driven by the stepping motor is used to realize the accurate positioning of the supporting plate. The arrangement of the guide groove ensures the stability of the screw rod transmission system, and the selection of the stepping motor meets the accuracy requirement of position control. In particular, the double-side connection design of the moving block and the supporting plate effectively prevents the supporting plate from deflecting when bearing the load. The adjusting part structure not only can realize the stable lifting of the supporting plate, but also can adapt to the support requirements of workpieces of different sizes through the accurate control of the stepping motor.
[0011] In the above scheme: the motor base drives the vertical rod to rotate, the mechanical hand moves to the material taking position of the metal powder injection molding machine, then the servo motor drives the screw rod to rotate, the screw rod drives the threaded sleeve to move downward, the suction cup moves to the molded metal workpiece, under the action of the vacuum pump, the suction cup adsorbs the metal workpiece, in the process of moving downward of the threaded sleeve, the limit rods on the upper end of the threaded sleeve swing the connecting rod downward, and then the rotating plate rotates counterclockwise, the rotating plate makes the supporting plate turn counterclockwise to leave the lower side of the suction cup, after the workpiece is adsorbed, the servo motor continues to drive the screw rod to rotate, the threaded sleeve moves upward to take out the adsorbed metal workpiece, in the process of moving upward of the threaded sleeve, the supporting plate gradually moves to the lower side of the workpiece, when the supporting plate rotates to the lower side of the workpiece, the stepping motor drives the screw rod to rotate, the screw rod drives the moving block to move upward, the moving block drives the supporting plate to move upward, and the bottom of the workpiece is supported to prevent the workpiece from falling during suction and hoisting.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the supporting plate is provided with a notch, and a movable plate is hingedly connected in the notch, a rotary cylinder for driving the movable plate to rotate is mounted on one side of the outer part of the supporting plate, a brush is arranged on one side of the movable plate, and a flexible electromagnetic strip is arranged on the side of the movable plate between the two brush ends. The movable plate, the brush and the flexible electromagnetic strip are integrated on the bottom of the supporting plate to realize the dual functions of material taking and mold cleaning. The movable plate turning mechanism driven by the rotary cylinder is designed ingeniously and can be switched between the material taking position and the cleaning position. The arrangement of the flexible electromagnetic strip makes the iron filings adsorption more efficient, and the arrangement of the brush ensures the comprehensive cleaning of the mold surface. The multifunctional integrated design significantly improves the comprehensive use efficiency of the equipment.
[0013] The rotation angle of 90 degrees is carefully calculated, which can make the bristles fully expand for cleaning and save space to the maximum extent when stored, embodying the design idea of motion parameter optimization.
[0014] In the above scheme: after the workpiece is taken out, the movable plate is driven to rotate downward by 90 degrees by the rotary cylinder, and under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, the bristles are inserted into the formed mold, and then under the action of the motor base, the bristles are cleaned in the mold, and the flexible electromagnetic strip after being energized has magnetism, so that the cleaned iron metal is attracted to the bristles. After cleaning is completed, the rotary cylinder rotates the movable plate to the notch at the bottom of the supporting plate, completing the cleaning work of the forming mold, facilitating the next forming work of the mold.
[0015] Preferably, a heating pipe is connected above the movable plate in the notch, a moving sleeve is transversely sleeved outside the heating pipe, and a memory alloy is further sleeved outside the heating pipe, both ends of the memory alloy are connected with one side of the moving sleeve and one side of the notch, and the memory alloy is in a spiral shape. The lower part of the moving sleeve is provided with a comb tooth, and the temperature sensitive property of the memory alloy is used to realize the automatic movement of the comb tooth. The combination of the heating pipe, the moving sleeve and the memory alloy constitutes an intelligent execution system, which can automatically complete the cleaning work of the bristles according to the temperature change. The spiral-shaped memory alloy design increases the deformation stroke, and the cooperation relationship between the comb tooth and the bristles is carefully calculated to ensure the cleaning effect. This design shows the innovative application of intelligent materials in industrial automation equipment.
[0016] Preferably, the memory alloy undergoes shortening phase change when the temperature is above 70 degrees, at which time the comb tooth is completely away from the position of the bristles, and the memory alloy undergoes elongation phase change when the temperature is below 40 degrees, at which time the comb tooth is inserted into the bristles and close to the position of the movable plate. The phase change temperature parameters of the memory alloy are limited. The setting of the shortening phase change temperature threshold above 70 degrees and the elongation phase change temperature threshold below 40 degrees ensures the reliable switching of the system in different working states. The selection of this temperature parameter considers the balance between operation safety and material durability, so that the memory alloy can maintain stable performance in long-term use. The accurate control of the temperature threshold also reflects the careful design of the device in terms of heat management, ensuring the stable work of the system under various environmental conditions.
[0017] In the above scheme: turn on the power supply of the heating pipe to heat the memory alloy, and at the same time turn off the power supply of the flexible electromagnetic strip to lose its magnetism, so that the iron metal attached to the bristles will fall off, but some iron metal will still be attached to the bristles, when the memory alloy is heated to above 70 DEG C, the memory alloy undergoes phase change and gradually shortens, when shortening, the moving sleeve slides on the heating pipe, and then the comb teeth at the bottom of the moving sleeve scrape the residual iron metal on the flexible electromagnetic strip, facilitating the recycling of the iron metal, after scraping, turn off the power supply of the heating pipe to stop heating the memory alloy, when the memory alloy cools to below 40 DEG C, the memory alloy undergoes phase change again, and the memory alloy will elongate, so that the moving sleeve returns to the initial position, facilitating the next time the comb teeth to scrape the iron metal attached to the bristles.
[0018] The application provides a metal powder injection molding machine automatic material taking and discharging device. 1、The metal powder injection molding machine automatic material taking and discharging device, through the linkage of the servo motor, the screw rod and the threaded sleeve, the suction cup can accurately adsorb the workpiece, and the supporting plate gradually moves to the bottom of the workpiece during moving on the threaded sleeve, and finally supports the bottom of the workpiece, which effectively prevents the workpiece from falling during suction and hoisting, significantly improves the safety and stability of operation, and ensures the integrity of the workpiece.
[0019] 2、The metal powder injection molding machine automatic material taking and discharging device, through the cooperation of the rotary cylinder and the hydraulic cylinder, the bristles can deeply enter the mold for thorough cleaning, and the application of the flexible electromagnetic strip further enhances the cleaning effect, and through the magnetic adsorption of iron filings, the cleanliness of the inner surface of the mold is ensured, the cleaning efficiency of the mold is improved, and the service life of the mold is prolonged, thereby providing a good foundation for the next molding work.
[0020] 3、The metal powder injection molding machine automatic material taking and discharging device, through the heating pipe, the memory alloy is heated to change phase and shorten, the moving sleeve and the comb teeth are driven to scrape the residual iron filings on the flexible electromagnetic strip and the bristles, and after cooling, the memory alloy returns to the original state, ensuring the recycling and efficient maintenance of the system, improving the efficiency of iron filings recycling, and embodying the innovative application of intelligent materials in automatic equipment, thereby providing an efficient and convenient solution for iron filings cleaning and recycling.
