Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of loading and unloading detection of vulcanizing machines, and in particular to a robot automatic loading and unloading device for vulcanizing machines. Background Art

[0002] Vulcanizer is a machine for vulcanizing various rubber and plastic products. It has functions such as timed mold locking, automatic pressure replenishment, automatic temperature control, automatic timing, and time alarm. The vulcanizer has three types of pressing: electric heating, steam heating, and thermal oil heating. It integrates the preheating required for the rubber vulcanization process, automatic exhaust gas after loading, pressure-maintaining vulcanization, timing alarm, automatic mold opening, and product demolding. It is generally controlled by PLC and has automatic and manual operation (customized according to actual user needs). It can record the required process flow, remote operation, and system management.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN219511701U discloses a vulcanizing machine detection device, in which several temperature sensors are set up to measure several groups of temperature data. When any temperature is abnormal, the corresponding temperature sensor will feed back to the controller. The controller that receives the signal will control the sound and light alarm to make a sound to remind people, and will automatically control the corresponding indicator light to light up, so that people can find and deal with the problem of uneven temperature in time. Then the heat insulation cover can align the card hole with the card slot of the handle, and after alignment, it can be snapped in, so that the heat insulation cover can be fixed on the handle. After fixing, the heat insulation cover is used for heat insulation to avoid the problem of high temperature affecting the normal operation of the indicator light, which is easy to use.
