[0036] Specifically, the injection molding fixture processing device 100 in this embodiment has a first work flow and a second work flow. The first work flow is to clean, preheat, heat, etc. the fixture 101 so that the processed fixture 101 meets the injection molding requirements; the second work flow is to process the finished product 10, including separating the fixture 101 and the product 102 in the finished product 10, storing the separated product 102, and transporting the separated fixture 101 to the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 for cleaning.

[0037] In the first working process, the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 cleans the fixture 101, the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 transfers the cleaned fixture 101 from the fixture cleaning mechanism 2 to the first receiving station 3A on the fixture transfer mechanism 3, the fixture transfer mechanism 3 transfers the cleaned fixture 101 from the first receiving station 3A to the second receiving station 3B, the second fixture transporting mechanism 6 transfers the cleaned fixture 101 from the second receiving station 3B on the fixture transfer mechanism 3 to the fixture preheating and insulation device 7 or the fixture heating device 8 for insulation or heating, and the second fixture transporting mechanism 6 can also transfer the fixture 101 (if any) on the fixture preheating and insulation device 7 to the fixture heating device 8, thereby facilitating the subsequent transport robot 92 to transfer the fixture 101 on the fixture heating device 8 to the injection molding machine 91 for injection molding.

[0038] In the second working process, the fixture transfer mechanism 3 receives the finished product 10 after injection molding from the injection molding machine 91 at the second receiving station 3B, and transfers the finished product 10 from the second receiving station 3B to the first receiving station 3A; the product conveying mechanism 5 separates the fixture 101 and the product 102 in the finished product 10, and transfers the separated product 102 from the first receiving station 3A on the fixture transfer mechanism 5 to the product storage device 93, and then the first fixture conveying mechanism 2 transfers the fixture 101 separated from the product 102 in the finished product 10 from the first receiving station 3A on the fixture transfer mechanism 2 to the fixture cleaning mechanism 1, and the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 cleans the fixture 101, and then repeats the above-mentioned first working process to realize the reuse of the fixture 101.

[0039] Among them, Fig.13As shown, after the handling robot 92 transfers the fixture 101 to the injection molding machine 91, the injection molding machine 91 performs injection molding to obtain a finished product 10. The finished product 10 includes the fixture 101 and a product 102 arranged on the fixture 101 (that is, the injection molding machine 91 injection molds the product 102 based on the fixture 101), and the product 102 is an injection molded part. Since the clamp 101 is provided with a slider 1011, the slider 1011 can slide relative to the clamp 101, and the slider 1011 will clamp and fix the product 102 (sliders 1011 are provided on both sides of the product 102, and the sliders 1011 on both sides clamp the product 102 from both sides respectively), it is impossible to directly remove the product 102 from the clamp 101, but it is necessary to first use the product conveying mechanism 5 to separate the clamp 101 and the product 102; during separation, the product conveying mechanism 5 drives the slider 1011 on the clamp 101 to move horizontally, so that the slider 1011 releases the product 102, thereby separating the clamp 101 and the product 102 in the finished product 10.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 is provided with a first cleaning station 1A and a second cleaning station 1B, and the first cleaning station 1A and the second cleaning station 1B are arranged at an interval. The fixture cleaning mechanism 1 includes a first transfer mechanism 11, a preheating platform 12 arranged on the first transfer mechanism 11, and a cleaning device 13, the preheating platform 12 is used to place the fixture 101 and can preheat the fixture 101 (that is, the preheating platform 12 can heat the fixture 101), thereby improving the heating efficiency of the fixture 101. The cleaning device 13 is arranged corresponding to the first cleaning station 1A, the cleaning device 13 is located above the preheating platform 12, and the cleaning device 13 is used to clean the fixture 101. The first transfer mechanism 11 is used to drive the preheating platform 12 to switch positions between the first cleaning station 1A and the second cleaning station 1B, so as to transfer the cleaned fixture 101 from the first cleaning station 1A to the second cleaning station 1B, and to transfer the fixture 101 separated from the product 102 in the finished product 10 from the second cleaning station 1B to the first cleaning station 1A. Specifically, the first transfer mechanism 11 can be a linear guide module.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the preheating platform 12 includes a first preheating platform 121 and a second preheating platform 122, and the first transplanting mechanism 11 is used to drive the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 to exchange positions between the first cleaning station 1A and the second cleaning station 1B respectively. The fixture cleaning mechanism 1 also includes a first telescopic drive device (not shown), which is connected to the first preheating platform 121. The first telescopic drive device is used to drive the first preheating platform 121 to move up and down to adjust the height of the first preheating platform 121, so as to avoid interference between the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 when exchanging positions. The first telescopic drive device is located below the first preheating platform 121, and the first telescopic drive device can be specifically a cylinder, etc. A first temperature controller 120 is provided on each preheating platform 12, and the first temperature controller 120 is used to set the heating temperature of the preheating platform 12. In this embodiment, two fixtures 101 can be placed on each preheating platform 12.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 are respectively arranged on different guide rails in the first transplanting mechanism 11, and the height of the second preheating platform 122 remains unchanged, and the height of the first preheating platform 121 is adjustable. The first telescopic driving device adjusts the height of the first preheating platform 121 by driving the first preheating platform 121 to telescopically move up and down. When the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 exchange positions, the first telescopic driving device first drives the first preheating platform 121 to move downward, so that the height of the first preheating platform 121 is lower than the height of the second preheating platform 122, and then the first transplanting mechanism 11 drives the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 to move at the same time, so that the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 exchange positions between the first cleaning station 1A and the second cleaning station 1B (that is, when the first preheating platform 121 moves to the first cleaning station 1A, the second preheating platform 122 moves to the second cleaning station 1B; when the first preheating platform 121 moves to the second cleaning station 1B, the second preheating platform 122 moves to the first cleaning station 1A); since the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 have different heights during the position exchange process and are on different guide rails, the two will not interfere with each other during the position exchange process. The first fixture transport mechanism 2 can pick up the cleaned fixture 101 from the preheating platform 12 at the second cleaning station 1B, or transfer the fixture 101 separated from the product 102 from the fixture transfer mechanism 3 to the preheating platform 12 at the second cleaning station 1B. By providing the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122, the working efficiency of the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 is greatly improved.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 13 includes a cleaning brush 131, a brush rotation drive device 132, a brush lifting drive device 133, a brush transverse movement drive device 134 and a first bracket 135. The brush rotation drive device 132 and the brush lifting drive device 133 are both arranged on the first bracket 135, and the cleaning brush 131 is connected to the brush rotation drive device 132 and the brush lifting drive device 133 respectively; the brush rotation drive device 132 is used to drive the cleaning brush 131 to rotate, and the brush lifting drive device 133 is used to drive the cleaning brush 131 to move up and down. The first bracket 135 is connected to the brush transverse movement drive device 134, and the brush transverse movement drive device 134 is used to drive the first bracket 135 to move horizontally, thereby driving the cleaning brush 131, the brush rotation drive device 132 and the brush lifting drive device 133 to move horizontally. Among them, the cleaning brush 131 is a high temperature resistant brush; the brush rotation drive device 132 can be specifically a rotary motor, the brush lifting drive device 133 can be specifically a cylinder, and the brush transverse movement drive device 134 can be specifically a linear guide module.

[0044] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the working process of the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 is as follows: taking the case where the first preheating platform 121 is initially located at the second cleaning station 1B and the second preheating platform 122 is initially located at the first cleaning station 1A, when working, the brush lifting drive device 133 drives the cleaning brush 131 to move downward for a distance, so that the height of the cleaning brush 131 corresponds to the height of the fixture 101 on the second preheating platform 122, and then the brush rotation drive device 132 drives the cleaning brush 131 to rotate, and at the same time the brush transverse movement drive device 134 drives the cleaning brush 131 to move horizontally, so that the cleaning brush 131 cleans various parts of the fixture 101 on the second preheating platform 122 (mainly cleaning the injection molding residues on the fixture 101, etc.); after the cleaning is completed, the cleaning device 13 returns to the initial position and waits. Then the first telescopic drive device drives the first preheating platform 121 to move downward (at this time, the first preheating platform 121 is placed with the clamp 101 separated from the product 102), so that the height of the first preheating platform 121 is lower than the height of the second preheating platform 122, and then the first transplanting mechanism 11 drives the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 to exchange positions, so that the first preheating platform 121 moves to the first cleaning station 1A and the second preheating platform 122 moves to the second cleaning station 1B, and then the first telescopic drive device drives the first preheating platform 121 to move upward and reset, and the cleaning device 13 cleans the clamp 101 on the first preheating platform 121, and at the same time, the first clamp transporting mechanism 2 takes away the cleaned clamp 101 on the second preheating platform 122; after the clamp 101 on the second preheating platform 122 is taken away, wait for the next time to place the clamp 101, and then repeat the above steps. The fixture cleaning mechanism 1 needs to cooperate with the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 to operate. After the fixture 101 at the first cleaning station 1A is cleaned, it is necessary to wait until the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 places the fixture 101 at the second cleaning station 1B before the first preheating platform 121 and the second preheating platform 122 exchange positions. After the position exchange is completed, the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 takes away the cleaned fixture 101, which effectively improves work efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamp transport mechanism 2 includes a second transplanting mechanism 21, a second bracket 22, a first lifting drive device 23 and a first clamping mechanism 24, the first clamping mechanism 24 is arranged on the second bracket 22, the second bracket 22 is connected to the first lifting drive device 23, and the first lifting drive device 23 is connected to the second transplanting mechanism 21. The first clamping mechanism 24 is used to clamp the fixture 101 (specifically, the first clamping mechanism 24 includes a clamping cylinder and a clamp connected to the clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder drives the clamp to move to clamp the fixture 101); the first lifting drive device 23 is used to drive the second bracket 22 and the first clamping mechanism 24 to move up and down; the second transfer mechanism 21 is used to drive the first lifting drive device 23 to move horizontally, thereby driving the second bracket 22 and the first clamping mechanism 24 to move horizontally, so that the first clamping mechanism 24 can switch positions between the second cleaning station 1B of the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 and the first receiving station 3A of the fixture transfer mechanism 3, thereby realizing the transfer of the cleaned fixture 101 from the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 to the first receiving station 3A on the fixture transfer mechanism 3, and transferring the fixture 101 separated from the product 102 in the finished product 10 from the first receiving station 3A on the fixture transfer mechanism 3 to the fixture cleaning mechanism 1. The second transplanting mechanism 21 may be a linear guide rail module, and the first lifting drive device 23 may be a linear motor, etc. In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 24 can clamp two clamps 101 at one time.

[0046] Specifically, during operation, the second transporting mechanism 21 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move to the clamping position, and then the first lifting drive device 23 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move downward. After the first clamping mechanism 24 clamps the clamp 101, the first lifting drive device 23 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move upward. The second transporting mechanism 21 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move to the clamp placement position, and then the first lifting drive device 23 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move downward. After the first clamping mechanism 24 puts down the clamp 101, the first lifting drive device 23 drives the first clamping mechanism 24 to move upward; wait for the next clamping work.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the injection molding fixture processing device 100 further includes a fixture flipping mechanism 4, which is arranged corresponding to the first receiving station 3A of the fixture transfer mechanism 3; the fixture flipping mechanism 4 is used to flip the fixture 101 (including the cleaned fixture 101 and the fixture 101 in the finished product 10) on the fixture transfer mechanism 3 at the first receiving station 3A. Specifically, in some injection molding processes, the fixture 101 needs to be sent to the injection molding machine 91 with the front side facing down (that is, the back side facing up) for injection molding, and the product handling mechanism 5 needs to separate and clamp the product 102 from the upper side; therefore, the fixture flipping mechanism 4 needs to be arranged to flip the cleaned fixture 101 and the fixture 101 in the finished product 10 up and down, so that the cleaned fixture 101 faces down and the fixture 101 in the finished product 10 faces up (of course, in other embodiments, if the fixture 101 does not need to be flipped, the fixture flipping mechanism 4 may not be arranged).

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixture turning mechanism 4 includes: The fixing bracket 41 is generally in a U-shaped structure; A lifting drive mechanism 42 is connected to the fixed support 41 and is used to drive the fixed support 41 to move up and down; The flip device 43 and the clamping drive mechanism 44, the flip device 43 includes a first flip assembly 43A and a second flip assembly 43B which are arranged opposite to each other at intervals, the first flip assembly 43A and the second flip assembly 43B are respectively located on opposite sides of the clamp transfer mechanism 3, and the clamping drive mechanism 44 includes a first clamping drive device 441 and a second clamping drive device 442. The first clamping drive device 441 and the second clamping drive device 442 are both arranged on the fixed bracket 41, and the first clamping drive device 441 and the second clamping drive device 442 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first flip assembly 43A and the second flip assembly 43B; the first clamping drive device 441 is connected to the first flip assembly 43A, and the second clamping drive device 442 is connected to the second flip assembly 43B. The first clamping drive device 441 and the second clamping drive device 442 are used to drive the first flipping component 43A and the second flipping component 43B to move towards or away from each other, so that the first flipping component 43A and the second flipping component 43B clamp or release the clamp 101; the first flipping component 43A and the second flipping component 43B cooperate to flip the clamp 101.

[0049] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first flip assembly 43A and the second flip assembly 43B respectively include a third bracket 431, a rotation drive device 432, a first clamping portion 433 and a second clamping portion 434, the first clamping portion 433 and the second clamping portion 434 are arranged on the third bracket 431 at intervals, and the first clamping portion 433 and the second clamping portion 434 are respectively rotatably connected to the third bracket 431 (specifically, the first clamping portion 433 and the second clamping portion 434 are respectively rotatably connected to the third bracket 431 through bearings); the rotation drive device 432 is arranged on the third bracket 431, the rotation drive device 432 is connected to the first clamping portion 433, and the rotation drive device 432 is used to drive the first clamping portion 433 to rotate, that is, the first clamping portion 433 is actively rotated, and the second clamping portion 434 is driven to rotate. In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 433 in the first flip assembly 43A and the second clamping portion 434 in the second flip assembly 43B are a group, and the two are arranged relative to each other at an interval, so that the two can cooperate with each other to clamp and flip one clamp 101; the second clamping portion 434 in the first flip assembly 43A and the first clamping portion 433 in the second flip assembly 43B are a group, and the two are arranged relative to each other at an interval, so that the two can cooperate with each other to clamp and flip another clamp 101. Therefore, in this embodiment, the flip device 43 can clamp and flip two clamps 101 at one time.

[0050] In this embodiment, the third bracket 431 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 41; the first clamping drive device 441 is connected to the third bracket 431 in the first flipping component 43A to drive it to move relative to the fixed bracket 41, and the second clamping drive device 442 is connected to the third bracket 431 in the second flipping component 43B to drive it to move relative to the fixed bracket 41. The first clamping drive device 441 and the second clamping drive device 442 can drive the third bracket 431 in the first flipping component 43A and the third bracket 431 in the second flipping component 43B to move toward or away from each other, so that the first clamping portion 433 / second clamping portion 434 in the first flipping component 43A and the second clamping portion 434 / first clamping portion 433 in the second flipping component 43B are close to or away from each other, thereby achieving clamping and release of the clamp 101. Then, the rotation driving device 432 drives the first clamping portion 433 to rotate, and the corresponding second clamping portion 434 rotates accordingly, thereby causing the clamp 101 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the clamp 101 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 42 is two cylinders, the first clamping drive device 441 and the second clamping drive device 442 are cylinders, and the rotating drive device 432 is a rotating motor. The purpose of setting the lifting drive mechanism 42 to drive the fixed bracket 41 to move up and down is that when the flipping device 43 flips the clamp 101, the clamp 101 needs to be separated from the transplanting platform 32 in the clamp transfer mechanism 3, that is, the clamp 101 needs to be moved above the transplanting platform 32 to avoid interference between the clamp 101 and the transplanting platform 32 during the flipping process, so that the clamp 101 can be flipped smoothly. Therefore, the present embodiment is provided with a lifting drive mechanism 42. Before the clamp 101 is flipped, the lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed bracket 41 to move upward, thereby causing the flipping device 43, the clamping drive mechanism 44 and the clamp 101 on the fixed bracket 41 to move upward, so as to avoid interference between the clamp 101 and the transplanting platform 32 during the flipping process; after the clamp 101 is flipped, the lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed bracket 41 to move downward, thereby causing the flipping device 43, the clamping drive mechanism 44 and the clamp 101 on the fixed bracket 41 to move downward, so as to place the clamp 101 on the transplanting platform 32 in the clamp transfer mechanism 3.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixture transfer mechanism 3 includes a third transplanting mechanism 31 and a transplanting platform 32 arranged on the third transplanting mechanism 31, and the transplanting platform 32 is used to place the cleaned fixture 101 or the finished product 10; the third transplanting mechanism 31 is used to drive the transplanting platform 32 to switch positions between the first receiving station 3A and the second receiving station 3B, so as to transfer the cleaned fixture 101 from the first receiving station 3A to the second receiving station 3B, and transfer the finished product 10 from the second receiving station 3B to the first receiving station 3A. Among them, the third transplanting mechanism 31 can be specifically a linear guide module. At the same time, the fixture transfer mechanism 3 also includes a photoelectric sensor 33, which is arranged on one side of the third transplanting mechanism 31, and the photoelectric sensor 33 is used to detect whether the fixture 101 or the finished product 10 is placed on the transplanting platform 32.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 8As shown, in this embodiment, the transplanting platform 32 includes a first transplanting platform 321 and a second transplanting platform 322, and the third transplanting mechanism 31 is used to drive the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 to exchange positions between the first receiving station 3A and the second receiving station 3B respectively. The fixture transfer mechanism 3 also includes a second telescopic drive device 34, which is connected to the first transplanting platform 321. The second telescopic drive device 34 is used to drive the first transplanting platform 321 to move telescopically up and down to adjust the height of the first transplanting platform 321, thereby avoiding interference between the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 when exchanging positions. The second telescopic drive device 34 is located below the first transplanting platform 321, and the second telescopic drive device 34 can be specifically a cylinder, etc. In this embodiment, two fixtures 101 / finished products 10 can be placed on each transplanting platform 32.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 are respectively arranged on different guide rails in the third transplanting mechanism 31, and the height of the second transplanting platform 322 remains unchanged, and the height of the first transplanting platform 321 is adjustable. The second telescopic driving device 34 drives the first transplanting platform 321 to telescopically move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the first transplanting platform 321. When the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 exchange positions, the second telescopic driving device 34 first drives the first transplanting platform 321 to move downward so that the height of the first transplanting platform 321 is lower than the height of the second transplanting platform 322, and then the third transplanting mechanism 31 drives the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 to move at the same time, so that the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 exchange positions between the first receiving station 3A and the second receiving station 3B (that is, when the first transplanting platform 321 moves to the first receiving station 3A, the second transplanting platform 322 moves to the second receiving station 3B; when the first transplanting platform 321 moves to the second receiving station 3B, the second transplanting platform 322 moves to the first receiving station 3A); since the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 have different heights during the position exchange process and are on different guide rails, the two will not interfere with each other during the position exchange process. Among them, the cleaned fixture 101 can be placed on one of the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322, and the finished product 10 can be placed on the other. Under certain working conditions, the third transplanting mechanism 31 drives the first transplanting platform 321 and the second transplanting platform 322 to exchange positions once, so that the cleaned fixture 101 can be transferred from the first receiving station 3A to the second receiving station 3B, and the finished product 10 can be transferred from the second receiving station 3B to the first receiving station 3A, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the working process of the fixture transfer mechanism 3 and the fixture flipping mechanism 4 is as follows: (1) When handling the cleaned fixture 101, the first fixture transport mechanism 2 transfers the cleaned fixture 101 from the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 to the first receiving station 3A, the lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed support 41, the flip device 43 and the clamping drive mechanism 44 to move upward, and then the clamping drive mechanism 44 drives the first flip assembly 43A and the second flip assembly 43B to clamp the fixture 101, and the first fixture transport mechanism 2 releases the fixture 101 and leaves; the rotation drive device 432 operates to make the first flip assembly 43A and the second flip assembly 43B cooperate to flip the fixture 101; after the flip is completed, After completion, the lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed bracket 41, the flipping device 43 and the clamping drive mechanism 44 to move downward to place the flipped fixture 101 on the transfer platform 32 at the first receiving station 3A, and then the clamping drive mechanism 44 drives the first flipping assembly 43A and the second flipping assembly 43B to release the fixture 101; the third transfer mechanism 31 drives the transfer platform 32 to transfer from the first receiving station 3A to the second receiving station 3B, and then the second fixture transport mechanism 6 transfers the cleaned fixture 101 from the second receiving station 3B to the fixture preheating and insulation device 7 or the fixture heating device 8. It should be noted that, in the above steps, the clamp flipping mechanism 4 first directly clamps the clamp 101 from the first clamp transporting mechanism 2, flips the clamp 101, and then places the flipped clamp 101 on the transplanting platform 32; of course, the first clamp transporting mechanism 2 can also first place the clamp 101 on the transplanting platform 32, and then the clamp flipping mechanism 4 clamps the clamp 101 from the transplanting platform 32, flips the clamp 101, and then places the flipped clamp 101 on the transplanting platform 32.

[0056] (2) When processing the finished product 10 after injection molding, the transport robot 92 transports the finished product 10 from the injection molding machine 91 to the transfer platform 32 at the second receiving station 3B, and the third transfer mechanism 31 drives the transfer platform 32 to move from the second receiving station 3B to the first receiving station 3A. The lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed support 41, the flip device 43 and the clamping drive mechanism 44 to move downward, so that the position of the flip device 43 corresponds to the position of the finished product 10; the clamping drive mechanism 44 drives the first flip component 43A and the second flip component 43B to clamp the fixture 101 in the finished product 10, and then the lifting drive mechanism 42 drives the fixed support 41, the flip device 43, the clamping drive mechanism 44 and the finished product 10 to move upward a short distance, and then the rotating drive device 432 is operated, so that the first flip component 43A and the second flip component 43B cooperate to clamp the fixture 101 in the finished product 10. The fixture 101 is flipped; after the flipping is completed, the product transporting mechanism 5 separates the fixture 101 and the product 102 in the finished product 10, and transfers the separated product 102 from the first receiving station 3A to the product storage device 93 for storage; then the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 arrives at the first receiving station 3A, the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 clamps the separated fixture 101, the clamping drive mechanism 44 drives the first flipping component 43A and the second flipping component 43B to release the fixture 101, and then the first fixture transporting mechanism 2 transfers the fixture 101 to the fixture cleaning mechanism 1 for cleaning.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the product transport mechanism 5 includes a fourth transporting mechanism 51 and a clamping mechanism 52 arranged on the fourth transporting mechanism 51, and the fourth transporting mechanism 51 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 52 to switch positions between the first receiving station 3A and the product storage device 93. The clamping mechanism 52 includes a second lifting drive device 521 arranged on the fourth transplanting mechanism 51, a fourth bracket 524 connected to the second lifting drive device 521, and a product clamping mechanism 522 and a top separation mechanism 523 arranged on the fourth bracket 524. The second lifting drive device 521 is used to drive the fourth bracket 524 to move up and down, thereby driving the product clamping mechanism 522 and the top separation mechanism 523 to move up and down; the product clamping mechanism 522 is used to clamp the product 102 (specifically, the product clamping mechanism 522 includes a clamping cylinder and a clamp connected to the clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder drives the clamp to move to clamp the product 102); the top separation mechanism 523 is used to drive the slider 1011 on the clamp 101 to move the product 102, so that the slider 1011 releases the product 102, thereby separating the clamp 101 and the product 102 in the finished product 10. The fourth transplanting mechanism 51 may be specifically a linear guide rail module, and the second lifting drive device 521 may be specifically a linear motor or the like.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 523 includes a latch driving device 5231 and a latch (not shown) connected to the latch driving device 5231, and the latch driving device 5231 is used to drive the latch to move up and down. During operation, the fourth transporting mechanism 51 drives the clamping mechanism 52 to move to the first receiving station 3A, and then the second lifting drive device 521 drives the fourth bracket 524, the product clamping mechanism 522 and the top separation mechanism 523 to move downward, and the latch driving device 5231 drives the latch to move downward, so that the latch pushes open the slider 1011 on the clamp 101 (after the latch contacts the slider 1011, the latch drives the sliders 1011 on both sides of the product 102 to move horizontally toward both sides respectively) to release the product 102, and then the product clamping mechanism 522 clamps the product 102, the second lifting drive device 521 drives the fourth bracket 524, the product clamping mechanism 522 and the top separation mechanism 523 to move upward, and at the same time, the latch driving device 5231 drives the latch to move upward, and then the fourth transporting mechanism 51 drives the clamping mechanism 52 to move to the product storage device 93, and the product clamping mechanism 522 releases the product 102, so that the product 102 falls into the product storage device 93 for temporary storage.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, the second clamp transport mechanism 6 includes a fifth transfer mechanism 61, a fifth bracket 62, a third lifting drive device 63 and a second clamping mechanism 64, the second clamping mechanism 64 is arranged on the fifth bracket 62, the fifth bracket 62 is connected to the third lifting drive device 63, and the third lifting drive device 63 is connected to the fifth transfer mechanism 61. The second clamping mechanism 64 is used to clamp the fixture 101 (specifically, the second clamping mechanism 64 includes a clamping cylinder and a clamp connected to the clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder drives the clamp to move to clamp the fixture 101); the third lifting drive device 63 is used to drive the fifth bracket 62 and the second clamping mechanism 64 to move up and down; the fifth transfer mechanism 61 is used to drive the third lifting drive device 63 to move horizontally, thereby driving the fifth bracket 62 and the second clamping mechanism 64 to move horizontally, so that the second clamping mechanism 64 can switch positions between the second receiving station 3B, the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 and the fixture heating device 8, so as to transfer the cleaned fixture 101 from the second receiving station 3B to the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 or the fixture heating device 8. Among them, the fifth transfer mechanism 61 can be specifically a linear guide module, and the third lifting drive device 63 can be specifically a linear motor. In this embodiment, the second clamping mechanism 64 can clamp two fixtures 101 at one time. The execution steps of the second clamp transport mechanism 6 can refer to the first clamp transport mechanism 2 and will not be repeated here.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the fixture 101 is not placed on the fixture heating device 8, the second fixture transport mechanism 6 preferentially transfers the fixture 101 to the fixture heating device 8; when the fixture 101 is placed on the fixture heating device 8, the second fixture transport mechanism 6 first transfers the fixture 101 to the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7, and the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 keeps the fixture 101 warm. After the fixture 101 on the fixture heating device 8 is taken away by the transport robot 92, the second fixture transport mechanism 6 transfers the fixture 101 on the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 to the fixture heating device 8. The provision of the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 can not only temporarily store the cleaned fixture 101, but also, when an abnormality occurs in the injection molding machine 91, the transport robot 92 can also place the fixture 101 on the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 for heat preservation.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixture preheating and heat preservation device 7 includes two heating platforms 71, on which the fixture 101 is placed, and the heating platform 71 is used to heat and keep the fixture 101 warm (specifically, the heating platform 71 includes components such as a heat conducting plate, a heating rod, and a thermocouple). A second temperature controller 72 is provided on the heating platform 71, and the second temperature controller 72 is used to set the heating temperature of the heating platform 71.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.12 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixture heating device 8 includes an electromagnetic heating component 81, a horizontal transfer mechanism 82 arranged on one side of the electromagnetic heating component 81, and a high temperature resistant platform 83 arranged on the horizontal transfer mechanism 82, and the high temperature resistant platform 83 is used to place the fixture 101; the electromagnetic heating component 81 includes an electromagnetic heating coil 811 and an electromagnetic heater 812 electrically connected to the electromagnetic heating coil 811, the electromagnetic heating coil 811 is wound into a ring, and the electromagnetic heater 812 is used to control the electromagnetic heating coil 811 to be powered on for heating (that is, the electromagnetic heater 812 is powered on for the electromagnetic heating coil 811, and controls the operation of the electromagnetic heating coil 811). The horizontal transfer mechanism 82 is used to drive the high temperature resistant platform 83 to move horizontally in a direction close to or away from the electromagnetic heating coil 811, so that the high temperature resistant platform 83 can enter the electromagnetic heating coil 811 for heating, and leave the electromagnetic heating coil 811 after heating is completed. At the same time, the electromagnetic heating component 81 also includes a temperature sensing component 813 (specifically a laser temperature sensing device), and the temperature sensing component 813 is used to detect the heating temperature of the fixture 101. The horizontal transfer mechanism 82 may specifically be a cylinder, a linear guide rail module, etc.

[0063] Specifically, during operation, after the clamp 101 is placed on the high temperature resistant platform 83, the horizontal transfer mechanism 82 drives the high temperature resistant platform 83 to move into the electromagnetic heating coil 811. After the electromagnetic heating coil 811 is energized, it heats the clamp 101 on the high temperature resistant platform 83. When the temperature sensing component 813 detects that the heating temperature reaches the preset value, the electromagnetic heating coil 811 keeps the clamp 101 warm. After the transport robot 92 arrives at the clamp heating device 8, the horizontal transfer mechanism 82 drives the high temperature resistant platform 83 to retract, so that the high temperature resistant platform 83 leaves the electromagnetic heating coil 811. Then the transport robot 92 moves the clamp 101 on the high temperature resistant platform 83 away and puts it into the injection molding machine 91.
