[0037] The arrangement of the feeding device is different according to the different positions of the plug-in required for the injection molded product. The specific embodiments are as follows:

[0038] Embodiment 1 of the present invention:

[0039] When an injection molded product needs an insert, a silo is provided on the workbench, and a conveyor belt, a push drive and an insert drive are provided correspondingly.

[0040] Embodiment 2 of the present invention:

[0041] When two plug-ins need to be inserted into the injection molded product, and the two plug-ins are located on the same side of the injection molded product, a silo and a conveyor belt are provided on the workbench, the silo is provided with two discharge slots, and a plug-in driving member is provided on the plug-in base corresponding to the plug-in port, respectively, and the plug-in driving member pushes the plug-in on the conveyor belt into the injection molded product;

[0042] When the two plug-ins are located on both sides of the injection molded product, a silo and a conveyor belt can be respectively provided on both sides of the workbench, the silo is provided with two discharge troughs, and the rest of the structure is the same as above;

[0043] It can also be done by a robot. A silo and a conveyor belt are located on the same side. The silo is provided with two discharge slots. When working, the injection molded product is first inserted into the plug-in on one side, and then the grabbing robot lifts the injection molded product and rotates the direction and then inserts the plug-in on the other side.

[0044] Embodiment 3 of the present invention: The moving mechanism of the loading device includes an X-axis moving device and a Y-axis moving device, and the position of the grabbing robot is controlled by the X-axis moving device and the Y-axis moving device. First, the grabbing robot takes out the injection molded product in the injection molding device, and then adjusts the direction of the injection molded product through the lower rotary drive and sends the injection molded product into the fixture, and the plug-in driver pushes the plug-in into the injection molded product.

[0045] A grabbing manipulator is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating plate of the present invention, so that the assembly action of two injection-molded products can be completed at one time.

[0046] The working process of the present invention is as follows: the grabbing robot takes the injection molded product out of the injection molding device, adjusts the position and direction, and presses the injection molded product into the fixture. At this time, the grabbing robot maintains the pressing state, and the detector on the cover plate simultaneously detects whether the plug-in driver correctly pushes the plug-in into the injection molded product. When all the plug-ins required for the injection molded product are inserted, the grabbing robot puts the assembled product on the conveyor belt of the next process.

[0047] When the detector detects that the plug-in drive is in empty motion, the signal is transmitted to the controller to send out an alarm signal, thereby reducing the risk of missing a plug-in to zero.

[0048] The beneficial effects of the injection molding assembly integrated machine of the present invention are:

[0049] 1. Combining the two processes of injection molding and plug-in assembly into one greatly improves efficiency, increases operation accuracy, reduces operating costs, and improves product quality;

[0050] 2. The plug-in base and the fixture are provided with plug-in ports at the assembly positions corresponding to the injection molded products. Multiple feeding devices are installed on the workbench. The feeding devices convey the plug-ins to the conveyor belt. Multiple push drive parts push the plug-ins into the injection molded products at the same time, which improves the operation accuracy. The overall reliability and stability of the device are high.

[0051] 3. The detector installed on the cover of the plug-in port reduces the risk of missing a plug-in to zero.

[0052] In addition, it should be noted that in this specification, "includes", "comprising" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.
