Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molds, and in particular to an injection mold and a packaging box molding method based on EPP materials. Background Art

[0002] Injection molds inject heated molten plastic into the mold cavity, and obtain the finished product after cooling and solidification. They are widely used in the production of plastic parts and products, and are particularly suitable for mass production of products with complex geometric shapes and high precision requirements, such as automotive parts, electronic housings, home appliances, toys, etc.

[0003] After the existing injection mold completes the demoulding process of the plastic part, the plastic part is immediately introduced into an inclined slide rail system. In this system, the plastic part slides smoothly along the guide surface of the inner wall of the slide rail under the natural drive of gravity until it reaches the preset exit position at the end of the slide rail. Then, the plastic part falls from the exit into a pre-configured storage container for subsequent processing or inventory storage operations.

[0004] Defects of the prior art: In the process of plastic parts being introduced into the storage container, collision, extrusion and disordered stacking may occur due to the mutual contact between the plastic parts, which in turn causes uneven distribution of the plastic parts in the container, specifically manifested as misaligned stacking and local dense accumulation. This uneven arrangement not only increases the difficulty of subsequently removing the plastic parts from the container, but may also have a potential impact on the surface quality of the plastic parts. When the storage container reaches its capacity limit, that is, the internal plastic parts are fully loaded, it is necessary to rely on manual operation to replace a new empty storage container in order to continue to store the subsequently produced plastic parts, which consumes labor costs.

[0035] The movable mold and the concave mold together form a closed cavity, in which the material is cooled and solidified. When the material is completely solidified, the movable mold is separated from the fixed mold, and an ejection mechanism such as an ejector pin is used to eject the molded product plastic part from the mold. The above-mentioned method of extruding the material is a prior art.

[0036] A material transport port 21 is provided inside the injection molding machine 2, and the material transport port 21 is connected to the outside of the injection molding machine 2, and the position of the material transport port 21 corresponds to the position where the plastic parts fall. A plastic part pushing mechanism 4 is provided on the injection molding machine 2, and the plastic part pushing mechanism 4 can transport the stacked plastic parts downward in sequence. The plastic part pushing mechanism 4 includes a retention frame 41 fixedly arranged inside the material transport port 21, and a guide plate 42 is fixedly connected to the interior of the retention frame 41. After the plastic parts fall into the interior of the retention frame 41, they can enter the front side of the interior of the retention frame 41 through the guiding effect of the guide plate 42. The front side of the retention frame 41 is connected to an upper conveying pipe 9 inclined downward, and a servo motor 49 is fixedly provided on the top of the bottom plate 1 and at a position behind the injection molding machine 2, and a movable disk is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 49 47, the output end of the servo motor 49 is fixedly sleeved with a driving gear 48, and the driving gear 48 is located below the movable disk 47. A slider 44 is slidably connected to the interior of the retention frame 41, and one end of the slider 44 penetrates the side wall of the retention frame 41 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 45. The push plate 45 is used to push the plastic part from the interior of the retention frame 41 to the interior of the upper conveying pipe 9. A displacement opening is provided on the side wall of the retention frame 41, and the size of the displacement opening is adapted to the movement trajectory of the slider 44. The slider 44 penetrates the displacement opening, and a plate body is fixedly connected to the side of the retention frame 41, and a guide column 43 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the plate body.

When the driving gear 48 rotates one circle, the driving gear 48 will drive the reduction gear 83 to rotate a number of circles less than the number of circles it rotates, thereby The purpose of deceleration is achieved. The top of the first fixed shaft 84 is fixedly connected with a synchronous gear 85. After the teeth of the incomplete gear 82 rotate to a specified position, it can be meshed with the synchronous gear 85. When the incomplete gear 82 makes a continuous rotation motion, the synchronous gear 85 makes an intermittent rotation motion. The outer side of the third fixed shaft 86 is fixedly sleeved with a speed-up gear 87 and a first pulley 76 in sequence from top to bottom. The speed-up gear 87 is meshed with the synchronous gear 85. The number of teeth of the speed-up gear 87 is less than that of the synchronous gear 85. The speed-up gear 87 can drive the rotating rod to accelerate through the second transmission mechanism 7.

[0044] The second transmission mechanism 7 includes a fourth fixed shaft 72 rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the outer side of the fourth fixed shaft 72 is fixedly sleeved with a second pulley 74 and a driving bevel gear 73 in sequence from top to bottom. A belt 75 is transmission-connected between the second pulley 74 and the first pulley 76, and the end of the extension rod 33 is fixedly connected to a driven bevel gear 71, which is meshingly connected to the driving bevel gear 73.

[0045] The push plate 45 reciprocates for several times (the number of reciprocating motions is determined by the amount of material unloaded at one time by the injection molding machine 2), and the conveying mechanism 3 operates once accordingly: the servo motor 49 is started, and the output end of the servo motor 49 drives the movable disk 47 and the driving gear 48 to operate simultaneously, so that the movable disk 47 can reciprocate for several times (after the movable disk 47 moves forward to push the plastic part into the upper conveying tube 9, the movable disk 47 can retreat to realize the return stroke after the plastic part enters the receiving box of the corresponding receiving box group 62), and at the same time, the driving gear 48 drives the reduction gear 83 to rotate, and the reduction gear 83 drives the incomplete gear 82 and the second fixed shaft 81 to rotate as a whole. Only when the push plate 45 pushes the last plastic part into the upper conveying tube 9, the last plastic part enters the corresponding receiving box, and the push plate 45 returns, the incomplete gear 82 and the second fixed shaft 81 rotate as a whole. Only the full gear 82 can mesh with the synchronous gear 85, and the two do not mesh in the rest of the process. The incomplete gear 82 drives the synchronous gear 85 to rotate, and the synchronous gear 85 drives the speed-up gear 87 to rotate quickly. The speed-up gear 87 drives the third fixed shaft 86 and the first pulley 76 to rotate quickly as a whole. The first pulley 76 drives the second pulley 74 to rotate quickly through the belt 75. The second pulley 74 drives the fourth fixed shaft 72 and the active bevel gear 73 to rotate quickly as a whole. The active bevel gear 73 drives the corresponding rotating rod to rotate quickly by meshing with the driven bevel gear 71, so that the conveyor belt 32 is transmitted quickly, and the used plastic parts storage mechanism 6 is transported to the designated position to wait for the staff to pick it up, and the next unused plastic parts storage mechanism 6 is transported to the material receiving position to prepare to receive the next round of plastic parts.

[0046] The packaging box forming method based on EPP material comprises the following steps: filling EPP particles into a mold cavity through a feed port of a mold, sealing the mold, and heating the mold to soften and foam the EPP particles at high temperature, and controlling the heating temperature and pressure to fully expand the EPP particles in the mold and fit the mold shape, and after preliminary forming, cooling the mold to solidify and shape the EPP material, and after cooling and shaping, separating the movable mold and the fixed mold through the mold opening mechanism of the mold.
