DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the specification, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like to indicate the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 5 ,in Figure 2The main structure diagram of a preferred embodiment of a data line end injection molding loading and unloading device is shown, wherein for the convenience of observation, the data line plug-in mechanism 30 is moved down in the horizontal direction to a certain extent. A data line end injection molding loading and unloading device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below, wherein the data line end injection molding loading and unloading device includes a frame (not shown in the figure) and a controller, wherein the controller is provided with a PLC control system for controlling the operation of each component and the mutual cooperation between each component. In addition, the data line end injection molding loading and unloading device A conveying mechanism 20, a data line plugging mechanism 30, and a loading and unloading transfer mechanism 40 are arranged on the frame, wherein the conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveying chain 21 capable of directional circular conveying, wherein the conveying chain 21 is evenly provided with multiple chain links 22 along the conveying direction, and a fixed plate 23 is provided on the surface of each chain link 22. At the same time, a limiting structure 24 is provided on the surface of the fixed plate 23 away from the chain link 22 for limiting or installing the mold bar 10. When the conveying chain 21 is running, the mold bar 10 extends outward from the outer side of the conveying chain 21;

[0034] The data cable plug-in mechanism 30 includes a data cable plug-in board 31, wherein the data cable plug-in board 31 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 21. At the same time, the data cable plug-in board 31 is provided with a plug-in slot 301 facing the limiting structure 24 for placing the data cable. At the same time, the data cable plug-in board 31 is arranged on the frame in a manner that can be controlled to be relatively close to or away from the conveyor chain 21, so that the data cable can be plugged into the recess 102 of the mold strip 10 corresponding to the limiting structure 24. In this way, the plug-in cooperation between the data cable and the mold strip 10 is completed before the data cable end is injected;

[0035] The loading and unloading transfer mechanism 40 is located downstream of the data cable plug-in mechanism 30 in the conveying direction. In addition, the loading and unloading transfer mechanism 40 includes a moving mechanism, a static plate 42, two dynamic plates 43 and two telescopic elements 44, wherein the static plate 42 is arranged on the frame in a manner that can be driven by the moving mechanism to reciprocate between the injection mold and the conveyor chain 21, so that the mold strip 10 with the data cable plugged in on the conveyor chain 21 can be transferred to the injection mold for injection molding, and after the injection molding is completed, the mold strip 10 is moved back to its original position, and then the conveyor chain 21 is controlled to continue to operate. When it reaches the end, the mold strip 10 that has been injected will gradually separate from the conveyor chain 21 due to the action of gravity and move to the next process.

[0036] More specifically, the two telescopic elements 44 are horizontally symmetrically arranged on both sides of the static plate 42, and the telescopic directions of the two telescopic elements 44 are opposite. At the same time, the two movable plates 43 are respectively vertically connected to the telescopic ends of the two telescopic elements 44, and the bottoms of the two movable plates 43 are correspondingly provided with a first grasping claw 431 and a second grasping claw 432, so that when the two telescopic elements 44 are telescoped toward each other, a grasping space suitable for grasping the mold strip 10 can be formed between the first grasping claw 431 and the second grasping claw 432, so that the mold strip 10 can be grasped by the cooperation of the first grasping claw 431 and the second grasping claw 432, so that it can move back and forth between the conveying chain 21 and the injection mold for transfer.

[0037] Therefore, the data cable end injection loading and unloading device provided by the present application can connect the data cable to the corresponding mold strip 10 before injection molding during the process of continuously conveying the mold strip 10 for injection molding, thereby eliminating the need for long-term and multi-step conveying and transferring the mold strip 10 with the data cable, thereby effectively streamlining the structure and reducing costs. It is not only simple to install and debug the equipment in the early stage, but also convenient for later maintenance. In addition, when the loading and unloading device is in operation, when the data cable plug-in board 31 plugs the data cable into the mold strip 10, the moving mechanism can also transfer the mold strip 10 with the data cable plugged in to the injection mold for injection molding. After the injection molding is completed and the mold strip 10 is returned to its original position, the conveying chain 21 is controlled to continue operating. That is to say, in the conveying direction of the conveying chain 21, the time for upstream plugging in the data cable and the time for downstream transferring, welding, and then transferring the mold strip 10 back to its original position are roughly equal, thereby ensuring that the loading and unloading device can operate at full speed, thereby greatly improving the injection molding efficiency of the data cable end.

[0038] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 20 also includes a driving sprocket 25 and a driven sprocket 26, wherein the driving sprocket 25 and the driven sprocket 26 are supported at both ends of the conveying chain 21. At the same time, the frame is also provided with a rotating motor for driving the driving sprocket 25 to rotate in a directional manner. In addition, the limiting structure 24 is implemented as a limiting rod or a limiting plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed plate 23, and the top of the limiting rod or the limiting plate is symmetrically provided with a chamfer structure, wherein the chamfer structure can be a bevel chamfer or a rounded corner, so as to facilitate the mold strip 10 to be quickly installed in place, and the mold strip 10 is not easily damaged during the installation process.

[0039] Further preferably, a magnet is disposed at the bottom of, or within, the fixed plate 23 to attract the mold strip 10, thereby improving the stability of the mold strip 10 while being conveyed by the conveyor chain 21. The magnet has a predetermined magnetic force range, enabling it to attract the mold strip 10. When the fixed plate 23 rotates to the lower level along with the conveyor chain 21, the mold strip 10 can fall freely due to gravity, overcoming the attraction of the magnet. In other words, the magnet not only improves the conveying stability of the mold strip 10 by attracting the mold strip 10, but also does not interfere with the smooth transfer of the mold strip 10 to the next process after injection molding.

[0040] Considering that if the data line plug board 31 is driven directly by the cylinder to move in a directional manner, there may be a large instantaneous thrust, which may easily damage the data line on the data line plug board 31 and the notch 102 of the mold bar 10. If a servo motor is used to drive the data line plug board 31 in a screw transmission manner, although the above-mentioned problem can be avoided by accurately controlling the moving speed and start and stop timing, this screw transmission requires a large installation space and is more troublesome to maintain. Although it can be used, the applicant believes that there is another way, that is, the data line plug-in mechanism 30 also includes an L-shaped plate 32, a pushing cylinder 33, an inclined push plate 34 and a sliding plate 35, wherein the L-shaped plate 32 is fixedly arranged on the On the frame, wherein the pushing cylinder 33 is installed on the inner side of the vertical part 321 of the L-shaped plate 32 and extends along the conveying direction of the conveying chain 21, wherein the inclined push plate 34 is installed at the output end of the pushing cylinder 33, and at the same time, the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 34 is located on the side away from the vertical part 321 of the L-shaped plate 32, in addition, the sliding plate 35 is arranged on the horizontal part 322 of the L-shaped plate 32 in a manner that it can be pushed by the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 34 and relatively close to or away from the conveying chain 21, wherein the sliding plate 35 maintains contact with the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 34 through a connecting member 36, and wherein the data cable plug board 31 is installed on the sliding plate 35. In this way, the pushing cylinder 33 drives the inclined push plate 34 to move in a directional manner. Since the conveying direction of the conveying chain 21 and the moving direction of the sliding plate 35 are perpendicular, when the inclined push plate 34 moves in a directional manner, the sliding plate 35 is synchronously pushed by the inclined surface and thus produces a directional movement. The moving speed of the sliding plate 35 can be buffered based on the action of the inclined surface, thereby avoiding the problem of data lines and mold strips 10 being easily damaged due to excessively fast cylinder movement with a relatively simple structure.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting member 36 is implemented as a rotary bearing, wherein the rotary bearing is rotatably arranged on the sliding plate 35 through a bracket, and the rotary bearing maintains contact with the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 34, so that the rotary bearing can not only maintain a rotating working state, but also play a role in connecting the inclined push plate 34 and the sliding plate 35, thereby reducing the friction between the inclined push plate 34 and the sliding plate 35 and extending the service life of the loading and unloading device.

[0042] As another preferred embodiment, the connecting member 36 is implemented as an inclined supporting plate, wherein the inclined surface of the inclined supporting plate cooperates with the inclined surface of the inclined push plate 34, so that the directional movement of the inclined push plate 34 is converted into the directional movement of the sliding plate 35 in the vertical direction through the cooperation of the two inclined surfaces, thereby buffering the pushing force of the cylinder.

[0043] Further preferably, a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 35, and a slide rail 323 is provided on the L-shaped plate 32 to cooperate with the slide groove to ensure the accuracy of the moving direction of the sliding plate 35. In addition, the sliding plate 35 and the vertical portion 321 of the L-shaped plate 32 are elastically connected by a first elastic member 37. The first elastic member 37 can stabilize the sliding plate 35 due to the restoring elastic force generated by the gradual stretching of the sliding plate 35 as the sliding plate 35 moves away from the pushing cylinder 33, and can also restore the sliding plate 35 when the sliding plate 35 is pulled back. The first elastic member 37 can be provided alone, or two can be provided symmetrically on both sides of the sliding plate 35 in the moving direction.

[0044] Further preferably, the frame is equipped with a movement monitoring element for monitoring the movement of the conveyor chain 21, such as a counter set based on the conveying timing and conveying speed of the conveyor chain 21, or a level sensor set corresponding to the sensor on the conveyor chain 21. As long as the movement of the conveyor chain 21 can be monitored to ensure that the plug-in slot 301 on the data cable plug-in board 31 is aligned with the mold bar 10 on the conveyor chain 21, it will be sufficient.

[0045] In addition, there are multiple data cable plug-in boards 31 (4 as shown in the figure), and the multiple data cable plug-in boards 31 are evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 21, so that multiple data cables can be simultaneously plugged into the recess 102 of the mold strip 10 on the corresponding limiting structure 24, thereby effectively improving work efficiency.

[0046] Further preferably, the moving mechanism includes a horizontal cylinder 51, a sliding frame 52, a lifting cylinder 53, a lifting frame 54 and an extension plate 55, wherein the horizontal cylinder 51 is horizontally installed on the frame, and the sliding frame 52 is installed at the output end of the horizontal cylinder 51, and the frame is provided with a horizontal guide rod 56 for directional movement of the sliding frame 52, so as to ensure that the horizontal cylinder 51 can drive the sliding frame 52 to move precisely in a horizontal direction; in addition, the lifting cylinder 53 is vertically installed at the bottom end of the sliding frame 52, and at the same time, the lifting frame 54 is horizontally connected to the output end at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 53, and the top of the lifting frame 54 is above the lifting cylinder Vertical guide rods 57 are provided on both sides of 53, wherein the vertical guide rods 57 are embedded in the sliding frame 52 in a manner that can slide in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the up and down directional movement of the lifting frame 54, wherein the extension plate 55 is horizontally connected to one side of the lifting frame 54, and at the same time, the static plate 42 is vertically connected to the extension plate 55, and at the same time, the number of the first grabbing claws 431 and the second grabbing claws 432 (four each in the figure) is adapted to the initial spacing distance and the plug-in slot 301 on the data cable plug-in board 31, that is, the plurality of the first grabbing claws 431 and the plurality of the second grabbing claws 432 can be used to clamp and grab a plurality of the mold strips 10 at the same time through the cooperation of the plurality of the first grabbing claws 431 and the plurality of the second grabbing claws 432. In the loading and unloading device provided in the present application, the horizontal movement of the movable plate 43 is controlled by the horizontal cylinder 51, and the vertical movement of the movable plate 43 is controlled by the lifting cylinder 43. The two telescopic elements 44 cooperate with each other, and the first grabbing claws 431 and the second grabbing claws 432 on the two movable plates 43 to control the grabbing and fixing of the mold strip 10, thereby enabling the transfer of the mold strip 10 with the data cable plugged in between the conveying chain 21 and the injection mold.

[0047] It is also worth mentioning that when the loading and unloading device is operating normally, the upper conveyor chain 21 is covered with mold strips 10. At the upstream position of the conveyor chain 21, when the movement monitoring element detects that the conveyor chain 21 has moved into place, it takes a certain amount of time for the data cable plug-in board 31 to plug the data cable into the recess 102 of the mold strip 10. During this period of time, the moving mechanism at the downstream position of the conveyor chain 21 can also work synchronously to transfer the mold strip 10 with the data cable plugged in from the conveyor chain 21 to the injection mold for normal injection molding, and move the molded mold strip 10 to its original position after the injection molding. When the upstream and downstream work are completed, the conveyor chain 21 continues to operate and repeats the injection molding of the next group of data cables and mold strips 10, which can greatly improve the injection molding efficiency.

[0048] Further preferably, a protruding structure 433 is provided on the relative inner sides of the cooperating first grabbing claw 431 and the second grabbing claw 432, wherein the protruding structure 433 cooperates with the grooves 101 on both sides of the mold strip 10 to improve the stability of grabbing the mold strip 10. In addition, the static plate 42 is elastically connected to the extension plate 55 through the second elastic member 45, so that it can play a buffering role in the process of grabbing the mold strip 10 from the conveyor chain 21, placing the mold strip 10 on the injection mold, and placing the molded mold strip 10 back on the conveyor chain 21, and is not easy to damage the mold strip 10 and the injection mold.

[0049] The first elastic member 37 and the second elastic member 45 are both implemented as springs. The telescopic element 44 is implemented as a telescopic cylinder.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in the present invention are only used for descriptive purposes and do not indicate any order. They cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. These terms can be interpreted as names.
