The injection mold is provided with a second limiting portion. When secondary injection molding is performed on the special-shaped part, the first limiting portion needs to be placed in the injection mold in a preset installation direction so that the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are in limiting cooperation.

[0054] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1 - 14 drawings.

[0055] An embodiment of the present application discloses a feeding device 100 for special-shaped parts.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the feeding device 100 for special-shaped parts according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a mounting frame 1, a feeding mechanism 3, a position adjusting mechanism 4, a transfer mechanism 5, a controller, and a temporary storage mechanism 6. The feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on the mounting frame 1, and the feeding mechanism 3 is used for conveying the special-shaped parts 2. Specifically, an operator places a large number of special-shaped parts 2 on the feeding mechanism 3, and the feeding mechanism 3 conveys the special-shaped parts 2 one by one according to the preset placing direction of the special-shaped parts 2. The transfer mechanism 5 transfers the special-shaped parts 2 conveyed by the feeding mechanism 3 to the position adjusting mechanism 4, so as to prevent the special-shaped parts 2 from being placed on the position adjusting mechanism 4 without following the preset placing direction, and avoid the position adjusting mechanism 4 being unable to adjust the positions of the special-shaped parts 2.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the feeding mechanism 3 can be a vibrating disk 31, etc.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, along the height direction of the feeding device 100 for special-shaped parts, the first limiting portion of the special-shaped part 2 can be arranged at the lower end portion of the special-shaped part 2, the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 can be arranged at the upper end portion of the special-shaped part 2, the preset placing direction of the special-shaped part 2 is that the positioning surface 21 is located above the first limiting portion, and the height direction of the feeding device 100 for special-shaped parts can be up and down in Figure 2 the up and down direction in

[0059] Both the position adjusting mechanism 4 and the transfer mechanism 5 are arranged on the mounting frame 1. The position adjusting mechanism 4 includes a first driving member 41, a receiving member 42, and a laser member 43. The transfer mechanism 5 is used for transferring at least one special-shaped part 2 from the feeding mechanism 3 to the receiving member 42 according to the preset placing direction of the special-shaped part 2. Specifically, both the first driving member 41 and the laser member 43 are arranged on the mounting frame 1, and the output end of the first driving member 41 is connected and matched with the receiving member 42.

[0060] Moreover, when the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving member 42, the first driving member 41 drives the receiving member 42 to drive the special-shaped part 2 to rotate around the central axis of the first driving member 41. The laser member 43 is adapted to be opposite to the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2, and the laser member 43 is adapted to emit and receive laser towards the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2. Both the first driving member 41 and the laser member 43 are communicatively connected to the controller. When the distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser member 43 is equal to the preset distance, the laser member 43 generates a detection signal, and the controller is used to control the first driving member 41 to stop working according to the detection signal of the laser member 43.

[0061] Specifically, when the special-shaped part 2 is placed on the receiving part 42, the first driving part 41 drives the special-shaped part 2 to rotate continuously, and the laser part 43 continuously emits laser towards the special-shaped part 2. When the laser emitted by the laser part 43 is intercepted by the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2, the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 reflects the laser, and the laser part 43 receives the laser emitted by the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2. The laser part 43 determines the interval distance between the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 and the laser part 43 according to the difference between the laser emission time and the laser return time. When the interval distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser part 43 is equal to the preset interval distance, the laser part 43 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to stop working according to the detection signal of the laser part 43, so that the receiving part 42 stops driving the special-shaped part 2 to rotate, and the first limiting part of the special-shaped part 2 is located at the preset installation position, thereby completing the position adjustment of the special-shaped part 2.

[0062] It should be noted that the laser return time is the time when the laser part 43 receives the laser reflected by the positioning surface 21, and both the laser emission time and the laser return time are dynamic values. That is to say, the laser emission time and the laser return time change continuously. When the interval distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser part 43 is equal to the preset interval distance, the difference between the laser emission time and the laser return time is a constant value.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, the first driving part 41 can be a motor, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the first driving part 41 can also be a hydraulic motor or the like.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, the receiving part 42 can be provided with a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor and the first driving part 41 are both communicatively connected to the controller. When the special-shaped part 2 is placed on the receiving part 42, the pressure sensor generates a start signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to start working according to the start signal of the pressure sensor.

[0065] The temporary storage mechanism 6 is arranged on the mounting frame 1. The temporary storage mechanism 6 includes a temporary storage disk 61. The transfer mechanism 5 is also used to transfer the special-shaped part 2 from the receiving part 42 to the temporary storage disk 61. Specifically, when the position adjustment mechanism 4 adjusts the first limiting part of the special-shaped part 2 to the preset installation position, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the special-shaped part 2 that has completed the position adjustment from the receiving part 42 to the temporary storage disk 61. When the number of special-shaped parts 2 in the temporary storage disk 61 is equal to the preset number, the robotic arm of the injection molding machine transfers the special-shaped part 2 from the temporary storage disk 61 to the injection mold.

[0066] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 5 is communicatively connected to the controller, and the controller is also used to control the transfer mechanism 5 to transfer the special-shaped part 2 from the receiving part 42 to the temporary storage disk 61 according to the detection signal of the laser part 43.

[0067] Thus, by placing the special-shaped part 2 on the receiving part 42, the first driving part 41 drives the special-shaped part 2 to rotate, and the laser part 43 continuously emits laser towards the special-shaped part 2. When the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 faces the laser part 43, the positioning surface 21 reflects the laser. The laser part 43 determines the distance between the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 and the laser part 43 according to the difference between the laser emission time and the return time. When the distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser part 43 is equal to the preset distance, the laser part 43 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to stop working according to the detection signal of the laser part 43, so that the first limiting part of the special-shaped part 2 is located at the preset installation position. Compared with the prior art, the special-shaped part loading device 100 does not need to use a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device camera) camera for visual recognition and positioning of the positioning surface 21, so as to reduce the cost of adjusting the positioning surface 21 of the special-shaped part 2 to the preset positioning position, and further reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the special-shaped part 2.

[0068] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments of the present application, along the height direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100, a receiving hole 421 is provided on the top wall of the receiving part 42. The transfer mechanism 5 is used to place the special-shaped part 2 into the receiving hole 421, and the special-shaped part 2 is in limit fit with the inner peripheral wall of the receiving hole 421, so as to prevent the special-shaped part 2 from detaching from the receiving part 42 when the first driving part 41 drives the special-shaped part 2 to rotate, resulting in the inability to adjust the position of the special-shaped part 2, and further improving the working reliability of the special-shaped part loading device 100.

[0069] Moreover, the positioning surface 21 is located outside the receiving hole 421. Specifically, the positioning surface 21 is located above the receiving hole 421, so as to avoid the positioning surface 21 being blocked by the receiving hole 421, resulting in the inability of the positioning surface 21 to reflect the laser, and further improving the working reliability of the special-shaped part loading device 100.

[0070] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments of the present application, the position adjustment mechanism 4 may further include a first part detection part 44. The first part detection part 44 is arranged on the mounting frame 1 and is adapted to face the special-shaped part 2. The first part detection part 44 is communicatively connected to the controller. The first part detection part 44 is used to generate a detection signal according to the installation state of the special-shaped part 2 on the receiving part 42, and the controller is used to control the first driving part 41 to start working according to the detection signal of the first part detection part 44.

[0071] Specifically, the installation states of the special-shaped part 2 on the receiving part 42 include a first installation state and a second installation state. In the first installation state, the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving hole 421. In the second installation state, the special-shaped part 2 is not placed in the receiving hole 421.

[0072] When the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving hole 421, the first part detection part 44 faces the special-shaped part 2. The first part detection part 44 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to start working according to the detection signal of the first part detection part 44. Thus, when the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving hole 421, the technical effect that the first driving part 41 automatically drives the special-shaped part 2 to rotate can be achieved, and further, the automation degree of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 can be improved.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the first part detection part 44 can be a photoelectric sensor, but the present application is not limited thereto. The first part detection part 44 can also be an ultrasonic sensor or the like.

[0074] When the first part detection part 44 is a photoelectric sensor, the first part detection part 44 continuously sends detection light to the receiving part 42. When the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving hole 421, the special-shaped part 2 blocks and reflects the detection light, and the first part detection part 44 receives the detection light reflected by the special-shaped part 2 and generates a detection signal.

[0075] When the first part detection part 44 is an ultrasonic sensor, the first part detection part 44 continuously sends ultrasonic waves to the receiving part 42. When the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the receiving hole 421, the special-shaped part 2 blocks and reflects the ultrasonic waves, and the first part detection part 44 receives the ultrasonic waves reflected by the special-shaped part 2 and generates a detection signal.

[0076] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of laser parts 43 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting frame 1 on the outside of the receiving part 42. The temporary storage disk 61 is provided with at least one temporary storage hole 611. The placement direction of the special-shaped part 2 placed in each temporary storage hole 611 corresponds to the laser emission direction of one of the laser parts 43. Among them, when the special-shaped part 2 is positioned on the receiving part 42, the included angle between the positioning surface 21 and the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 is α, and when the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the corresponding temporary storage hole 611, the included angle between the positioning surface 21 and the first direction is β, satisfying the relational expression: α = β. The first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 can be Figure 2 the left-right direction in

[0077] In some specific embodiments, it is difficult to keep the positions of the second limiting parts of different injection molds consistent. In other specific embodiments, the injection mold is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, the second limiting parts are located in the mounting holes, and the positions of the second limiting parts in the plurality of mounting holes are different. The preset installation directions of the first limiting parts of the special-shaped parts 2 placed in different injection molds or placed in different mounting holes need to be adjusted according to the positions of the corresponding second limiting parts. That is to say, the first limiting part has a plurality of preset installation directions, and the plurality of preset installation directions of the first limiting part are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of laser parts 43.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, there are two laser parts 43. The two laser parts 43 are spaced apart along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100. The second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 can be the front-back direction in Figure 2 . One of the two laser parts 43 is located in front of the accommodating part 42, and the other laser part 43 is located behind the accommodating part 42. The special-shaped part 2 has two preset installation directions, namely the first preset installation direction and the second preset installation direction. The first preset installation direction corresponds to the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42, and the second preset installation direction corresponds to the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42.

[0079] When the special-shaped part 2 needs to be installed into the injection mold in the first preset installation direction, the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42 starts to work, and the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42 stops working. When the spacing distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42 is equal to the preset spacing distance, the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to stop working according to the detection signal of the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42, and controls the transfer mechanism 5 to transfer the special-shaped part 2 into the temporary storage hole 611.

[0080] When the special-shaped part 2 needs to be installed into the injection mold in the second preset installation direction, the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42 starts to work, and the laser part 43 located in front of the accommodating part 42 stops working. When the spacing distance between the positioning surface 21 and the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42 is equal to the preset spacing distance, the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the first driving part 41 to stop working according to the detection signal of the laser part 43 located behind the accommodating part 42, and controls the transfer mechanism 5 to transfer the special-shaped part 2 into the temporary storage hole 611.

[0081] By activating one of the multiple laser parts 43 to emit and receive laser to the special-shaped part 2, when the positioning surface 21 faces the activated laser part 43, and the spacing distance between the positioning surface 21 and the activated laser part 43 is equal to the preset spacing distance, the included angle between the special-shaped part 2 and the first direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100 is α. Then, the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the special-shaped part 2 into the corresponding temporary storage hole 611. When the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the corresponding temporary storage hole 611, the included angle between the positioning surface 21 and the first direction is β, and α = β. The robotic arm of the injection molding machine transfers the special-shaped part 2 from the temporary storage disk 61 into the corresponding injection mold, so that the technical effect of placing the first limiting part of the special-shaped part 2 at the corresponding preset installation angle in different injection molds or different installation holes can be achieved.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, there can be multiple temporary storage holes 611. The multiple temporary storage holes 611 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the temporary storage disk 61. The multiple temporary storage holes 611 can store multiple special-shaped parts 2. When the injection mold is provided with multiple installation holes, the robotic arm of the injection molding machine can transfer multiple special-shaped parts 2 into the injection mold at the same time, thereby reducing the time for placing the special-shaped part 2 into the injection mold.

[0083] Furthermore, there are multiple first driving parts 41, multiple accommodating parts 42, and multiple laser parts 43. The multiple first driving parts 41, multiple accommodating parts 42, and multiple laser parts 43 are all arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100, and the multiple first driving parts 41, multiple accommodating parts 42, and multiple laser parts 43 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The position adjustment mechanism 4 can complete the position adjustment of multiple special-shaped parts 2 within the same time period, thereby improving the loading speed of the special-shaped part 2.

[0084] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments of the present application, the loading mechanism 3 includes a vibrating disk 31 and a loading platform 32. The vibrating disk 31 and the loading platform 32 are both arranged on the mounting rack 1. The loading platform 32 is provided with a loading groove 321. The output end of the vibrating disk 31 is connected and matched with the open end of the loading groove 321. Specifically, the vibrating disk 31 includes a vibrating disk body 311 and a feeding track 312. The feeding track 312 is connected between the discharging end of the vibrating disk body 311 and the open end of the loading groove 321. The vibrating disk 31 is used to convey the special-shaped part 2 into the loading groove 321. The transfer mechanism 5 is adapted to face the closed end of the loading groove 321. Along the second direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100, the open end of the loading groove 321 refers to the rear end of the loading groove 321, and the closed end of the loading groove 321 refers to the front end of the loading groove 321. The transfer mechanism 5 is used to transfer the special-shaped part 2 from the loading groove 321 into the accommodating part 42.

[0085] Specifically, an operator can place a large number of special-shaped parts 2 into the vibrating bowl 31. The vibrating bowl 31 conveys the special-shaped parts 2 one by one into the feeding chute 321 in accordance with the preset placement direction of the special-shaped parts 2. When the special-shaped part 2 is conveyed to the closed end of the feeding chute 321 and the special-shaped part 2 abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding chute 321, that is to say, when the special-shaped part 2 moves from the rear end of the feeding chute 321 to the front end of the feeding chute 321, the transfer mechanism 5 faces the special-shaped part 2 among the multiple special-shaped parts 2 that abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding chute 321. The transfer mechanism 5 transfers the special-shaped part 2 that abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding chute 321 into the receiving hole 421, thereby achieving the technical effect of transferring the special-shaped part 2 from the feeding mechanism 3 to the receiving member 42.

[0086] Refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments of the present application, the feeding mechanism 3 may further include a second part detection member 33. The second part detection member 33 is disposed on one side of the feeding platform 32 close to the closed end of the feeding chute 321. Along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the second part detection member 33 is disposed in front of the feeding chute 321, and the second part detection member 33 faces the closed end of the feeding chute 321. The second part detection member 33 is adapted to face the special-shaped part 2. Both the second part detection member 33 and the transfer mechanism 5 are communicatively connected to the controller. The second part detection member 33 is configured to generate a detection signal according to the position state of the special-shaped part 2 on the feeding chute 321, and the controller is configured to control the transfer mechanism 5 to transfer the special-shaped part 2 according to the detection signal of the second part detection member 33.

[0087] Specifically, when the special-shaped part 2 moves to the closed end of the feeding chute 321 and abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding chute 321, the second part detection member 33 generates a detection signal. The controller controls the transfer mechanism 5 to transfer the special-shaped part 2 that abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding chute 321 according to the detection signal of the second part detection member 33, thereby achieving the technical effect of automatically transferring the special-shaped part 2 by the transfer mechanism 5 into the receiving hole 421, and further improving the automation degree of the special-shaped part feeding device 100.

[0088] In some specific embodiments, the second part detection member 33 may be a photoelectric sensor, but the present application is not limited thereto. The second part detection member 33 may also be an ultrasonic sensor or the like.

[0089] When the second part detector 33 is a photoelectric sensor, the first part detector 44 continuously sends detection light to the closed end of the loading chute 321. When the special-shaped part 2 moves from the open end of the loading chute 321 to the closed end, the special-shaped part 2 blocks and reflects the detection light. The second part detector 33 receives the detection light reflected by the special-shaped part 2. The second part detector 33 determines the spacing distance between the special-shaped part 2 and the bottom wall of the loading chute 321 according to the difference between the emission time of the detection light and the return time of the detection light. When the special-shaped part 2 abuts against the bottom wall of the loading chute 321, the second part detector 33 generates a detection signal.

[0090] When the second part detector 33 is an ultrasonic sensor, the second part detector 33 continuously sends ultrasonic waves to the closed end of the loading chute 321. When the special-shaped part 2 moves from the open end of the loading chute 321 to the closed end, the special-shaped part 2 blocks and reflects the ultrasonic waves. The second part detector 33 receives the ultrasonic waves reflected by the special-shaped part 2. The second part detector 33 determines the spacing distance between the special-shaped part 2 and the bottom wall of the loading chute 321 according to the difference between the emission time of the ultrasonic waves and the return time of the ultrasonic waves. When the special-shaped part 2 abuts against the bottom wall of the loading chute 321, the second part detector 33 generates a detection signal.

[0091] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 14 In some embodiments of the present application, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a second driving member 51, a third driving member 52 and an adsorbing member 53. The second driving member 51 is disposed on the mounting frame 1. The third driving member 52 is connected and cooperated with the second driving member 51. The adsorbing member 53 is connected and cooperated with the third driving member 52. The second driving member 51 is used to drive the third driving member 52 to drive the adsorbing member 53 to move along the first direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100. The third driving member 52 is used to drive the adsorbing member 53 to move along the height direction of the special-shaped part loading device 100. The adsorbing member 53 is adapted to abut against the special-shaped part 2 and is used to adsorb or release the special-shaped part 2.

[0092] In some specific embodiments, the feeding mechanism 3 is located on the left side of the position adjusting mechanism 4, and the temporary storage mechanism 6 is located on the right side of the position adjusting mechanism 4. When the special-shaped part 2 abuts against the bottom wall of the feeding groove 321, the second driving member 51 drives the suction attachment 53 to move leftward, so that the suction attachment 53 is disposed opposite to the special-shaped part 2 located on the bottom wall of the feeding groove 321. Then, the third driving member 52 drives the suction attachment 53 to move downward close to the special-shaped part 2, so that the suction attachment 53 abuts against and adsorbs the special-shaped part 2. Then, the third driving member 52 drives the suction attachment 53 to move upward to a preset position. Then, the second driving member 51 drives the suction attachment 53 to move rightward. When the suction attachment 53 is opposite to the receiving hole 421, then the third driving member 52 drives the suction attachment 53 to move downward, so that the suction attachment 53 places the special-shaped part 2 into the receiving hole 421.

[0093] After the position of the special-shaped part 2 is adjusted, the third driving member 52 drives the suction attachment 53 to move downward, so that the suction attachment 53 abuts against and adsorbs the special-shaped part 2 located in the receiving hole 421. Then, the second driving member 51 drives the suction attachment 53 to move rightward close to the temporary storage disk 61. Then, the third driving member 52 drives the suction attachment 53 to move downward close to the temporary storage hole 611, so that the suction attachment 53 places the special-shaped part 2 with the adjusted position into the temporary storage hole 611.

[0094] By driving the suction attachment 53 to move along the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 through the second driving member 51, and driving the suction attachment 53 to move along the height direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100 through the third driving member 52, the suction attachment 53 can be opposite to the closed end of the feeding groove 321 or the receiving hole 421 or the temporary storage hole 611, so that the technical effect of transferring the special-shaped part 2 from the closed end of the feeding groove 321 to the receiving hole 421 by the suction attachment 53, and transferring the special-shaped part 2 from the receiving hole 421 to the temporary storage hole 611 by the suction attachment 53 can be achieved.

[0095] It should be noted that, with reference to Figure 14 , the suction attachment 53 is provided with a suction hole 531 and a vacuum generator. The suction hole 531 is communicated with the vacuum generator. When the suction attachment 53 adsorbs the special-shaped part 2, the special-shaped part 2 extends into the suction hole 531, and the vacuum generator starts to work and generates negative pressure in the suction hole 531, so that the suction attachment 53 adsorbs the special-shaped part 2. When the suction attachment 53 releases the special-shaped part 2, the vacuum generator stops working, so that the suction attachment 53 releases the special-shaped part 2.

[0096] In some specific embodiments, both the second driving member 51 and the third driving member 52 can be cylinders, but the present application is not limited thereto. The second driving member 51 and the third driving member 52 can also be slide electric cylinders or the like.

[0097] Further, there may be multiple adsorbing members 53. The multiple adsorbing members 53 are arranged at intervals along the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100. The feeding platform 32 is provided with multiple feeding grooves 321, and the vibrating disk 31 is provided with multiple discharging ends. The multiple feeding grooves 321 and the discharging ends of the multiple vibrating disks 31 are in one-to-one correspondence and are connected and matched. The vibrating disk 31 conveys the special-shaped parts 2 to the multiple feeding grooves 321. The multiple adsorbing members 53 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple feeding grooves 321. By providing the multiple adsorbing members 53, the multiple adsorbing members 53 can simultaneously transfer multiple special-shaped parts 2 from the multiple feeding grooves 321, thereby accelerating the feeding speed of the special-shaped parts.

[0098] Referring to Figure 14 , in some embodiments of the present application, the transfer mechanism 5 may further include a first position detector 54 and a second position detector 55. The first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 are arranged on the side wall of the second driving member 51 at intervals along the first direction. In some specific embodiments, along the height direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 are both arranged on the lower end wall of the second driving member 51. Along the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the first position detector 54 is located at the left end of the second driving member 51, and the second position detector 55 is located at the right end of the second driving member 51. The first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 are both used to detect the position state of the third driving member 52. The second driving member 51, the first position detector 54, and the second position detector 55 are all communicatively connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the second driving member 51 to stop working according to the detection signal of the first position detector 54 or the detection signal of the second position detector 55.

[0099] Specifically, when the second driving member 51 drives the third driving member 52 to move leftward until it is opposite to the first position detector 54, the first position detector 54 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the second driving member 51 to stop working according to the detection signal of the first position detector 54. When the second driving member 51 drives the third driving member 52 to move rightward until it is opposite to the second position detector 55, the second position detector 55 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the second driving member 51 to stop working according to the detection signal of the second position detector 55. Such a setting can prevent the movement stroke of the third driving member 52 from exceeding the preset movement stroke of the second driving member 51, avoid the second driving member 51 being unable to drive the third driving member 52 to reset, and further improve the working reliability of the special-shaped part feeding device 100.

[0100] It should be noted that the preset movement stroke of the second driving member 51 is the space between the first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55. The second driving member 51 drives the third driving member 52 to reciprocate between the first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55.

[0101] In some specific embodiments, both the first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 can be photoelectric sensors, but the present application is not limited thereto. The first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 can also be Hall sensors. It should be noted that when both the first position detector 54 and the second position detector 55 are Hall sensors, the third driving member 52 is provided with an induction magnetic sheet, and the induction magnetic sheet is adapted to be disposed opposite to the second position detector 55 and the second position detector 55.

[0102] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in some embodiments of the present application, the temporary storage mechanism 6 may further include a fourth driving member 62, a fifth driving member 63, and a connecting member 64. The fourth driving member 62 is disposed on the mounting frame 1, and the connecting member 64 is connected and cooperated with the fourth driving member 62. Both the temporary storage disk 61 and the fifth driving member 63 are pivotally connected to the connecting member 64, and the output end of the fifth driving member 63 is pivotally connected to the temporary storage disk 61. Along the height direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the fourth driving member 62 is located below the connecting member 64, the fifth driving member 63, and the temporary storage disk 61. Along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the fifth driving member 63 is located in front of the temporary storage disk 61. The fourth driving member 62 is used to drive the connecting member 64 to drive the temporary storage disk 61 to move along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, and the fifth driving member 63 is used to drive the temporary storage disk 61 to rotate around the pivot axis between the temporary storage disk 61 and the connecting member 64.

[0103] Specifically, the temporary storage disk 61 is provided with a plurality of temporary storage holes 611, and the plurality of temporary storage holes 611 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the temporary storage disk 61. In some specific embodiments, there are four temporary storage holes 611. Along the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the temporary storage disk 61 is provided with two rows of temporary storage holes 611. Along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the temporary storage disk 61 is provided with two columns of temporary storage holes 611. That is to say, the plurality of temporary storage holes 611 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns on the temporary storage disk 61. When the first row of temporary storage holes 611 are all placed with special-shaped parts 2, the fourth driving member 62 drives the connecting member 64 to drive the temporary storage disk 61 to move forward, so that the suction member 53 can place the special-shaped parts 2 on the second row of temporary storage holes 611, thereby achieving the technical effect that the transfer mechanism 5 can transfer the special-shaped parts 2 into the plurality of temporary storage holes 611.

[0104] When the special-shaped parts 2 are placed in all the temporary storage holes 611 of the temporary storage disk 61, the fifth driving member 63 drives the temporary storage disk 61 to move closer to the fifth driving member 63 around the pivot axis between the temporary storage disk 61 and the connecting member 64. When the angle between the plane of the temporary storage disk 61 provided with the temporary storage holes 611 and the bottom surface of the connecting member 64 is equal to the preset angle, the fifth driving member 63 stops working. The plane of the temporary storage disk 61 provided with the temporary storage holes 611 faces the robotic arm of the injection molding machine. The robotic arm of the injection molding machine transports the special-shaped parts 2 from the temporary storage disk 61 into the injection mold. Such a setting can reduce the programming difficulty of the robotic arm of the injection molding machine and the difficulty of the robotic arm of the injection molding machine gripping the special-shaped parts 2, thereby improving the use experience of the special-shaped part feeding device 100.

[0105] After the robotic arm of the injection molding machine finishes transporting the special-shaped parts 2 from the temporary storage disk 61, the fifth driving member 63 drives the temporary storage disk 61 to move away from the fifth driving member 63 around the pivot axis between the temporary storage disk 61 and the connecting member 64. When the plane of the temporary storage disk 61 provided with the temporary storage holes 611 is parallel to the bottom surface of the connecting member 64, the fifth driving member 63 stops working.

[0106] It should be noted that when the fifth driving member 63 drives the temporary storage disk 61 to rotate, the fifth driving member 63 rotates around the pivot axis between the fifth driving member 63 and the connecting member 64. When the plane of the temporary storage disk 61 provided with the temporary storage holes 611 is parallel to the bottom surface of the connecting member 64, there is an angle between the central axis of the output end of the fifth driving member 63 and the bottom surface of the connecting member 64, thereby preventing the output end of the fifth driving member 63 and the connecting portion between the output end of the fifth driving member 63 and the temporary storage disk 61 from being in a dead point position and preventing the fifth driving member 63 from being unable to drive the temporary storage disk 61 to rotate.

[0107] Furthermore, a vacuum generator is provided in the temporary storage hole 611. When the special-shaped part 2 is placed in the temporary storage hole 611, the vacuum generator starts to work and forms a negative pressure in the temporary storage hole 611 to adsorb the special-shaped part 2 in the temporary storage hole 611.

[0108] In some specific embodiments, both the fourth driving member 62 and the fifth driving member 63 can be cylinders, but the present application is not limited thereto. The fourth driving member 62 can also be a slide electric cylinder, etc., and the fifth driving member 63 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0109] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present application, the temporary storage mechanism 6 may further include a third position detector 65 and a fourth position detector 66. The third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 are arranged on the side wall of the fourth driving member 62 at an interval in the second direction. In some specific embodiments, along the first direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, both the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 are arranged on the left side wall of the fourth driving member 62. Along the second direction of the special-shaped part feeding device 100, the third position detector 65 is arranged at the rear end of the fourth driving member 62, and the fourth position detector 66 is arranged at the front end of the fourth driving member 62. Both the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 are used to detect the position state of the connecting member 64. The fourth driving member 62, the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 are all communicatively connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the fourth driving member 62 to stop working according to the detection signal of the third position detector 65 or the detection signal of the fourth position detector 66.

[0110] Specifically, when the fourth driving member 62 drives the connecting member 64 to move backward to face the third position detector 65, the third position detector 65 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the fourth driving member 62 to stop working according to the detection signal of the third position detector 65. When the fourth driving member 62 drives the connecting member 64 to move forward to face the fourth position detector 66, the fourth position detector 66 generates a detection signal, and the controller controls the fourth driving member 62 to stop working according to the detection signal of the fourth position detector 66. Such a setting can prevent the movement stroke of the connecting member 64 from exceeding the preset movement stroke of the fourth driving member 62, and can avoid the situation that the fourth driving member 62 cannot drive the connecting member 64 to reset, thereby improving the working reliability of the special-shaped part feeding device 100.

[0111] It should be noted that the preset movement stroke of the fourth driving member 62 is the space between the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66. The fourth driving member 62 drives the connecting member 64 to reciprocate between the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66.

[0112] In some specific embodiments, both the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 may be photoelectric sensors, but the present application is not limited thereto. The third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 may also be Hall sensors. It should be noted that when both the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66 are Hall sensors, the connecting member 64 is provided with an induction magnetic sheet, and the induction magnetic sheet is adapted to be arranged opposite to the third position detector 65 and the fourth position detector 66.

[0113] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
