Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of injection molding machines, and in particular to a connector injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are usually composed of a shell and pins. The shell is often produced by batch injection molding using an injection molding machine, and then the shell and pins are automatically assembled using assembly equipment.

[0003] An injection molding machine, also known as an injection molding machine or injection machine, is the primary molding equipment used to convert thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics into various shapes using plastic molding molds. Available in vertical, horizontal, and all-electric models, the injection molding machine heats the plastic and applies high pressure to the molten plastic, causing it to eject and fill the mold cavity. Plastic molding molds often consist of an upper mold and a lower mold, also known as a dynamic mold and a static mold, with the mold cavity formed between them. After injection molding is completed, the upper and lower molds are opened, and a robotic arm is often used to demold the entire molded housing. The entire housing consists of several rows of housings and adjacent, connected scraps. The entire housing is then cut and separated, and burrs are trimmed. This is a complex process requiring extensive equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to improve the problem of numerous equipments and complicated processing procedures, the present application provides a connector injection molding machine.

[0005] This application provides a connector injection molding machine, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A connector injection molding machine includes a main body and a blanking tray. The blanking tray is used to cover the static mold after injection molding. A cutting knife for cutting waste is rotatably provided on the blanking tray. An extension rod is provided on the end of the cutting knife. The extension rod is used to contact the static mold to drive the cutting knife to rotate. A suction hole is opened on the blanking tray, and the suction hole is used to suck the shell.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the injection molding shell is completed and the dynamic mold is separated from the static mold, the static mold is covered by the blanking tray. In the process of the blanking tray moving toward the static mold, the extension rod contacts the static mold. As the blanking tray continues to approach the static mold, the extension rod rotates to drive the cutting knife to rotate until the cutting knife rotates and cuts the waste material. Automatic cutting is achieved through the mechanical structure, which reduces the use of the driving source, saves energy, reduces manufacturing costs, and facilitates the separation of the entire shell. The cut shell is adsorbed through the suction hole, and the displacement of the blanking tray can now take out the separated shell for demolding and blanking, which facilitates blanking after cutting, realizes the integration of demolding, cutting, and blanking, and greatly improves the speed of demolding and blanking. Integration also reduces the equipment required for subsequent cutting of the entire shell, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0008] Optionally, a first torsion spring is provided on the cutting knife rotating shaft, and the first torsion spring is used to rotate the extension rod in the direction toward the static mold. A deburring assembly is provided on the discharge disc, and the deburring assembly includes a knife seat slidably arranged on the discharge disc and a scraper provided on the knife seat for scraping burrs. The cutting knife rotates to drive the knife seat to slide.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cutting knife rotates to cut, the rotation of the cutting knife will drive the sliding of the knife holder, and the sliding of the knife holder will drive the scraper to slide, so that the burrs on the side wall of the shell surface are scraped off by the scraper, realizing the linkage between the cutting knife and the scraper, and the cutting knife drives the scraper to scrape, thereby increasing the range of the scraper to scrape the burrs, further reducing the use of the driving source, and reducing the manufacturing cost; when the unloading disc moves toward the direction close to the static mold, the cutting knife rotates to cut the waste material, and at the same time, the cutting knife rotates to drive the scraper to slide on the shell, and there is a relative displacement between the sliding of the unloading disc and the shell, thereby further enhancing the scraping burr effect of the scraper, realizing the integration of scraping burrs, cutting waste materials and unloading, further reducing the equipment required for subsequent scraping burrs, and further reducing the manufacturing cost and equipment volume.

[0010] Optionally, a support rod is rotatably provided on the knife holder, and the scraper is arranged on the support rod.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rod is used to make the scraper slide more closely on the shell, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the scraper in scraping burrs and enhancing the effect of the scraper in scraping burrs.

[0012] Optionally, a stabilizing ring is provided on the discharge tray, the stabilizing ring is sleeved on the outer ring of the shell, and the scraper is in contact with the stabilizing ring.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the blanking disc moves toward the direction close to the static mold, the shell is clamped by the stabilizing ring, which improves the stability of the shell and reduces the probability of the shell falling due to the loss of support of the waste on both sides when the cutting knife rotates to cut the waste. The shell is stabilized on the blanking disc, and it is convenient for the scraper to scrape burrs on the surface of the shell, and reduces the displacement of the shell as the scraper slides due to pressure and friction when the scraper scrapes on the surface of the shell, thereby reducing the relative displacement between the shell and the scraper, reducing the effect of the scraper in scraping burrs, and ensuring the effect of the scraper in scraping burrs.

[0014] Optionally, a guide plate is rotatably provided on the stabilizing ring, and a second torsion spring is provided on the guide plate rotating shaft. The second torsion spring is used to rotate the guide plate toward the opening surface of the stabilizing ring. A pull rope is provided on the cutting knife, and the other end of the pull rope is provided on the guide plate. The cutting knife rotates to pull the guide plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lower feeding tray moves toward the direction close to the static mold, the rotation of the cutting knife will pull the guide plate to rotate in the direction away from the opening surface of the stabilizing ring. At this time, if the positions of the stabilizing ring and the shell are not aligned, the position can be corrected by the guide plate, so that the stabilizing ring is correctly mounted on the shell, reducing the influence of small errors, improving the stability of the shell and expanding the adaptation range of the stabilizing ring; when the lower feeding tray moves toward the direction away from the static mold, the cutting knife resets and rotates, so that the guide plate also resets and rotates under the elastic force of the second torsion spring, so that the guide plate is clamped on the shell, thereby clamping and stabilizing the shell, further improving the stability of the shell, and reducing the probability of the shell shaking in the stabilizing ring and then falling as the lower feeding tray slides.

[0016] Optionally, a receiving plate for receiving the cut waste is rotatably provided on the discharge tray, and a resistance block is provided on the main body, and the resistance block is used to resist the rotation of the receiving plate to pour the waste down.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cut waste is received and temporarily stored by the receiving plate. When the unloading tray moves away from the static mold, the receiving plate will abut against the resistance block. At this time, the receiving plate will tilt under the guidance of the side wall of the resistance block, so that the waste carried on the receiving plate rolls down, thereby realizing the unloading of the waste.

[0018] Optionally, a sliding groove for the interference block to be inserted and slide is provided on the main body, and a first spring is provided on the interference block, and the first spring is used to keep the interference block in contact with the material receiving plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the unloading tray continues to move until the receiving plate shaft collides with the resistance block, the resistance block will slide in the slide groove. When the receiving plate shaft slides to the other side of the resistance block, the resistance block will be reset and pressed on the side wall of the receiving plate under the elastic force of the first spring. At this time, the receiving plate will tilt under the action of the resistance block, and the tilting direction of the receiving plate is opposite to the previous tilting direction. At this time, the suction hole releases the adsorption of the shell, and the shell falls and drops under the guidance of the receiving plate, and the shell and the waste material are respectively unloaded to different positions, realizing automatic unloading, and the direction change is achieved through the mechanical structure, reducing the use of the driving source and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0020] Optionally, a stabilizing bar is provided on the material receiving plate, and the stabilizing bar is used to surround the waste material, and an inclined block is provided between the stabilizing bar and the material receiving plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, waste is temporarily stored by stabilizing bars, which reduces the probability of waste sliding off the receiving plate due to the displacement of the discharge tray, blocks the waste, and reduces the influence of the stabilizing bars on the subsequent discharge when the receiving plate is tilted to discharge the material by making the inclined block inclined.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The demoulding, cutting and blanking are integrated, which greatly improves the speed of demoulding and blanking. The integration also reduces the equipment required for subsequent cutting of the entire shell, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0024] 2. The integration of deburring, waste cutting and blanking is realized, which further reduces the equipment required for subsequent deburring, further reduces manufacturing costs and equipment volume. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] The implementation principle of a connector injection molding machine according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: after injection molding is completed, the movable mold and the static mold are opened, and the unloading tray 1 slides toward the static mold. When the extension rod 12 contacts the static mold, the unloading tray 1 continues to slide, and the static mold pushes the extension rod 12 to rotate, which then drives the cutting blade 11 to rotate and cut the waste material. During the rotation of the extension rod 12, the rope 211 extends into the sliding groove 25. At this time, the second spring 251 pulls the knife seat 21 to slide toward the corresponding stabilizing ring 24. At this time, the scraper 22 contacts the stabilizing ring 24 and slides toward the side wall of the housing clamped by the stabilizing ring 24, thereby scraping the burrs on the housing. During the rotation of the extension rod 12, the cutting blade 11 rotates and pulls the pull rope 32, which opens the guide plate 3 through the pull rope 32, and guides the stabilizing ring 24 to be sleeved outside the housing through the guide plate 3.

[0042] The cut waste falls on the material receiving plate 4. At this time, the sliding material receiving plate 1 slides in the direction away from the static mold. When the material receiving plate 4 touches the resistance block 41, the material receiving plate 4 will tilt along the inclination direction of the first guide surface 411. At this time, the material receiving plate 4 pours the waste into the corresponding box. When the material receiving plate 1 continues to slide until the material receiving plate 4 shaft pushes the resistance block 41, when the material receiving plate 4 shaft is released from the resistance block 41, the material receiving plate 4 shaft will be located on the side of the resistance block 41 away from the static mold. At this time, the material receiving plate 4 will tilt along the inclination direction of the second guide surface 412. At this time, the suction hole 13 releases the adsorption of the shell, and the shell will fall into the corresponding box.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
