DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0029] like Figure 1-6As shown, the intelligent mold dispensing and recycling machine of the present invention includes a mold dispensing device 1 and a mold recycling device 2. The mold dispensing device 1 includes a mold storage mechanism, a coordinate system robot picking mechanism 3 for taking the mold out of the mold storage mechanism, and a material receiving and conveying mechanism 4 for conveying the taken-out mold. The mold storage mechanism includes a track frame 5, a cabinet door 6 and several parallel track layers arranged in the track frame 5, each track layer is provided with a drawer box 7 with multiple grooves; each groove 24 has several molds, the coordinate system robot picking mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the track frame 5, and the cabinet door 6 is arranged on the other side of the track frame 5. The mold recycling device 2 includes an old mold delivery port 8, a non-metallic recovery mold roller 9 and a recovery mold box 10 in sequence.

[0030] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the coordinate system robot material picking mechanism 3 includes two parallel first linear guide rails 11 in the Z-axis direction and a second linear guide rail 12 in the X-axis direction mounted on the two first linear guide rails 11. The second linear guide rail 12 slides along the first linear guide rail 11. A mechanical pusher 13 in the Y-axis direction is provided in the second linear guide rail 12 and slides freely along the second linear guide rail 12. The extending direction of the mechanical pusher 13 is facing the groove 24 of the drawer box 7.

[0031] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 9-11 As shown, the material receiving and conveying mechanism 4 includes a material receiving belt conveyor 14 located at the bottom of the cabinet door 6 and a queuing belt conveyor 15 located below the material receiving belt conveyor 14. The output end of the material receiving belt conveyor 14 is opposite to the input end of the queuing belt conveyor 15. Two rows of triangular protrusions 16 for guiding and buffering the mold are provided on the cabinet door 6, one row of triangular protrusions 16 is arranged in the middle of the cabinet door 6, and the other row of triangular protrusions 16 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet door 6 and above the material receiving belt conveyor 4.

[0032] like Figure 5-6As shown, an electric-controlled door 17 is provided at the old mold delivery port 8, where the electric-controlled door 17 is an electric-controlled revolving door or an electric-controlled lifting door, and the outer ring of the non-metallic recovery mold raceway 9 is provided with two annular sensors 18, and the two annular sensors 18 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the non-metallic recovery mold raceway 9. Here, an explanation is given. Because the mold of the present application is a metal mold, in order to ensure accurate detection, the recovery mold raceway adopts the non-metallic recovery mold raceway 9, and the annular sensor 18 adopts an annular magnetic flux sensor; the reason why annular sensors 18 are provided at both ends of the non-metallic recovery mold raceway is to prevent workers from putting in the old mold in a fishing style and then dragging the old mold out after putting it in. Of course, after seeing the technical solution of the present application, the technical personnel in this field will make appropriate adjustments to the position of the annular sensor 18 on the non-metallic recovery mold raceway 9. For example, installing the annular sensor 18 in the middle and one end of the non-metallic recovery mold raceway 9 still falls within the scope of protection of the present application. Here, as long as there is a distance between the two annular sensors 18, it is sufficient.

[0033] like Figure 12-13 As shown, a draw plate 19 is provided at the bottom of the recycling mold box 10 , and a track plate 20 cooperating with the draw plate 19 is also provided at the bottom of the recycling mold box 10 , and a rubber plate 21 is provided on the side of the draw plate 19 facing the recycling mold box 10 .

[0034] The mold recovery device 2 is provided with an operation display screen 25 and a card reader 26 for identity recognition.

[0035] like Figure 9-11 As shown, a mold receiving box 22 is provided on the periphery of the conveying platform of the queuing belt conveyor 15, and a mold guide slope 23 is provided on the mold receiving box 22 to guide the mold from the output end of the material receiving belt conveyor 14 to the input end of the queuing belt conveyor 15; a small display screen 27 is provided on the mold receiving box 22 for displaying the specifications of the new mold currently being issued.

[0036] Working principle: When it is necessary to recycle old molds, workers need to swipe their cards on the card reader 26 to identify their identities. The electric door 17 of the old mold delivery port 8 will automatically open, and the workers will start to put in the old molds. The ring sensor 18 will start to identify the authenticity and count. After the delivery is completed, the electric door 17 will automatically close. When the old molds recycled reach the required number, an alarm will be triggered, and the corresponding equipment manager will swipe his card on the card reader 26 to identify his identity. The electric access lock of the recycling mold box 10 will automatically open, the recycling mold box 10 will be pulled out, and the drawer 19 under the recycling mold box 10 will be pulled out. The old mold will fall into the prepared box along the hole at the bottom of the recycling mold box 10. After the old molds are taken out, the recycling mold box 10 will be pushed in, and the electric access lock will automatically lock.

[0037] When a new mold needs to be taken, the worker needs to swipe the card on the card reader 26 to identify his identity and enter the corresponding mold specifications on the operation display screen 25 in order. The coordinate system robot material picking mechanism 3 starts to work. Here, the movement of the coordinate system robot material picking mechanism 3 is controlled by a servo motor. It finds the groove of the mold of the corresponding specification and pushes it out. The mold pushed out from the groove 24 falls along the cabinet door 6 under the action of the triangular protrusion on the cabinet door 6 and falls on the conveying platform of the material receiving conveyor belt machine 14, and is quickly transported to the mold receiving area with the guide ramp 23. The molds are put into the box 22 and then automatically roll onto the queuing belt conveyor 15 and are arranged in order according to the size of the molds. After all the molds are taken out this time, the workers will take the molds on the queuing belt conveyor 15 away; when some specifications of new molds are about to be issued, an alarm is issued, and the corresponding equipment manager swipes the card on the card reader 26 to identify his identity. The electric access lock of the new mold issuance system is automatically opened, and the cabinet door 6 is opened to pull out the drawer box 7 that needs to be replenished, and the new molds of the corresponding specifications are replenished. After all specifications of new molds are replenished, the cabinet door is closed and the electric access lock is automatically locked.

[0038] This intelligent mold dispensing and recycling machine is used in an intelligent mold dispensing and recycling system. The intelligent mold dispensing and recycling system includes a master control unit, a mold recycling dispensing system, and at least one intelligent mold dispensing and recycling machine. The master control unit exchanges information with each intelligent mold dispensing and recycling machine via a wired or wireless network. The controller of each intelligent mold dispensing and recycling machine sends information about workers' collection of new molds and recycling of old molds to the master control unit for aggregation.

[0039] With the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention as a guide, and with reference to the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
