[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an automatic demolding production line for cylindrical mold components, and the automatic demolding production line includes a demolding device 100, a buffer device 200, a demolding device 300 and a palletizing device 400.

[0026] The demoulding device 100, the buffer device 200, the demoulding device 300 and the palletizing device 400 are connected in sequence, that is, the demoulding device 100, the buffer device 200, the demoulding device 300 and the palletizing device 400 constitute an automated demoulding production line for cylindrical mold components. The demoulding device 100 is used to split the mold component 500 into independent individuals, that is, the mold component 500 just cast and formed is an assembly. The demoulding device 100 removes the mold component 500 from the assembly in sequence to facilitate the demoulding of the individual mold components 500.

[0027] The cache device 200 is used to temporarily cache multiple mold assemblies 500, that is, the demolding device 100 places the mold assemblies 500 removed from the assembly on the cache device 200 in turn to achieve temporary storage of the mold assemblies 500, thereby facilitating the normal progress of subsequent processes. The demolding device 300 is used to split each mold assembly 500 into a tooling sleeve 510 and a production part 520, that is, the demolding device 300 realizes specific automated demolding work to improve demolding efficiency while reducing labor costs. The stacking device 400 is used to stack the tooling sleeve 510 and the production part 520 to preset positions respectively. The stacking device 400 can ensure the orderly collection of the tooling sleeve 510 and the production part 520 to improve the level of automation.

[0028] In the automatic demoulding production line for cylindrical mold components disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the demoulding device 100 is used to split the mold component 500 into independent individuals, and then the buffer device 200 is used to realize temporary buffering of multiple mold components 500. Then, each mold component 500 is split into a tool sleeve 510 and a production part 520 by the demoulding device 300, and finally the tool sleeve 510 and the production part 520 are stacked to a preset position by the stacking device 400. Compared with the prior art, this method can save manpower while improving production efficiency, and has higher safety performance. Moreover, the automatic demoulding production line of this structure is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has a better demoulding effect for cylindrical mold components.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, the stacking device 400 may include two stacking mechanisms, and the two stacking mechanisms may be used to stack the tool sleeve 510 and the production part 520 at the preset positions. Specifically, both stacking mechanisms may face the demoulding device 300. At this time, the tool sleeve 510 and the production part 520 separated by the demoulding device 300 are respectively transported to the two stacking mechanisms, and then the two stacking mechanisms are used to realize the stacking respectively, so as to improve the automation level of the overall equipment, and also improve the production volume of the automatic demoulding production line.

[0030] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the stacking mechanism may include a storage bracket 410, a discharge assembly 420 and a display rack 430. One end of the storage bracket 410 may face the demolding device 300. At this time, the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520 separated from the demolding device 300 is first transported to the storage bracket 410. The discharge assembly 420 may be arranged at the other end of the storage bracket 410. The display rack 430 may face the discharge assembly 420. The discharge assembly 420 is used to place the mold assembly 500 on the storage bracket 410 on the display rack 430. In the above case, one end of the storage bracket 410 provided with the discharge component 420 can be tilted downward so that the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520 transported to the storage bracket 410 can rotate toward the discharge component 420 due to gravity, and then the mold assembly 500 on the storage bracket 410 is placed on the display rack 430 through the discharge component 420 to realize the collection of the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520. This method has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a high level of automation.

[0031] Optionally, the material discharging assembly 420 may include a material discharging portion 421 and a material discharging portion 422, which may be arranged in sequence in the direction from the storage bracket 410 to the display rack 430, the material discharging portion 421 is used to place a mold assembly 500 on the storage bracket 410 on the material discharging portion 422, and the material discharging portion 422 is used to place the mold assembly 500 on the display rack 430. In this case, the mold assemblies 500 may be stacked in sequence on the display rack 430 in two steps, so that the mold assemblies 500 can be collected conveniently and the stacking work can be carried out in an orderly manner to prevent multiple mold assemblies 500 from being separated.

[0032] Furthermore, the material discharging portion 421 may include a first driving unit and a material discharging unit, the first end of the material discharging unit may be rotatably disposed on the storage bracket 410, the second end of the material discharging unit may be drive-connected to the first driving unit, and a material blocking protrusion may be disposed on the second end of the material discharging unit, the first driving unit may drive the material discharging unit to move so that a mold assembly 500 on the storage bracket 410 may be placed on the material discharging portion 422. During the specific working process, the first driving unit drives the second end of the material tapping unit to move up and down so that the material tapping unit swings up and down. When the first end of the material tapping unit is lower than the end of the storage bracket 410, the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520 of the storage bracket 410 rolls onto the material tapping unit due to the action of gravity, and the material blocking protrusion can achieve the effect of temporarily blocking the material. Then, when the first driving unit drives the second end of the material tapping unit to move downward, the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520 on the material tapping unit can pass over the material blocking protrusion, and then be transported to the discharge part 422 by the action of gravity to realize the individual transportation of the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520.

[0033] Of course, in the above case, when the first driving unit drives the second end of the material diverting unit to move downward, the first end of the material diverting unit can be higher than the end of the storage bracket 410, so that the first end of the material diverting unit can temporarily block other tooling sleeves 510 or production parts 520 on the storage bracket 410 to ensure that the stacking work of the tooling sleeves 510 or production parts 520 can be carried out normally.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the material discharge part 422 may include a flip groove 422a and a second driving unit 422b, the flip groove 422a is rotatably arranged on the storage bracket 410, the second driving unit 422b can be connected to the flip groove 422a, and the second driving unit 422b can be used to drive the opening of the flip groove 422a toward the material picking part 421 or the display rack 430. In this case, the flip groove 422a is driven by the second driving unit 422b so that the flip groove 422a can play the role of temporarily receiving the material, so as to play the role of discharging the material. This method has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can achieve a better material stacking effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the material discharge part 422 may also include a third driving unit 422c and a fourth driving unit 422d, both of which may be connected to the turning groove 422a, and the third driving unit 422c may be used to drive the turning groove 422a to move along the length direction of the storage bracket 410, and the fourth driving unit 422d may be used to drive the turning groove 422a to move along the height direction of the storage bracket 410. In this case, the third driving unit 422c and the fourth driving unit 422d may drive the turning groove 422a to move up and down and forward and backward, so that the material in the turning groove 422a may be accurately transported to the display rack 430, so as to achieve a better stacking effect on the tooling sleeve 510 or the production part 520, thereby improving the production of the automatic demoulding production line.

[0036] In the embodiment disclosed in the present invention, the demolding device 100 may include a demolding mechanism 110 and an identification mechanism 120. The demolding mechanism 110 is used to split the mold assembly 500 into independent individuals and transfer them to the buffer device 200. The identification mechanism 120 is used to identify the model of each mold assembly 500. This method can ensure that the demolding work can be carried out normally and orderly, and at the same time as improving the production effect, it also makes the automation level of the automatic demolding production line higher.

[0037] Furthermore, the demolding mechanism 110 may include a demolding platform 111 and a transfer robot 112. The demolding platform 111 is used to place the entire mold assembly 500, and the transfer robot 112 is used to split the mold assembly 500 into independent individuals and transfer them to the buffer device 200. This method can completely free up manpower and improve the demolding efficiency of the mold assembly 500.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the demoulding device 300 may include a demoulding mechanism 310 and a fault handling mechanism 320 , and the demoulding mechanism 310 includes a mounting bracket, a demoulding member and a fixing mechanism.

[0039] The mounting bracket is the main part of the automatic demoulding device, and the mounting bracket can provide a mounting position for other parts of the automatic demoulding device. The mounting bracket is provided with a demoulding platform, a demoulding member is provided at the first end of the demoulding platform 111, and a limiting member is provided at the second end of the demoulding platform. The fixing mechanism is provided on the mounting bracket, and the fixing mechanism is used to fix the mold assembly placed on the demoulding platform. Specifically, when the mold assembly 500 is on the demoulding platform, the fixing mechanism fixes the mold assembly 500 so that the position of the mold assembly 500 is fixed, the driving end of the demoulding member faces the production member 520, and the sleeve fixture 510 is limited to the limiting member, and the demoulding member drives the production member 520 to move so that the production member 520 is separated from the sleeve fixture 510, that is, when the demoulding member moves forward, because the sleeve fixture 510 on the mold assembly 500 is limited to the limiting member, the sleeve fixture 510 does not move at this time, and the demoulding member pushes the production member 520 to move forward, so that the production member 520 is separated from the fixture sleeve 510 to realize the demoulding work of the mold assembly.

[0040] In the above case, the production part 520 in the mold assembly 500 fixed on the demolding platform is ejected by the demolding part, thereby realizing the automated demolding of the mold assembly 500. While improving production efficiency, it can also save manpower and has higher safety performance. Compared with the existing manual demolding work, the demolding device 300 of this structure has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It has an easier demolding effect for the mold assembly 500 with a cylindrical shape.

[0041] At the same time, the fault handling mechanism 320 may be provided with a detection member for detecting the demoulding status of the demoulding mechanism 310. When the detection member detects that the demoulding mechanism 310 cannot perform the demoulding work, the fault handling mechanism 320 lifts out the mold assembly 500. This method can ensure that the demoulding work is carried out normally and orderly, and can also improve production efficiency while saving labor costs.

[0042] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
