[0054] The specific implementation of the automatic continuous forming production line of cone parts is as follows:

[0055] A: Preparation

[0056] At the initial station, the mold is placed on the positioning table, and the positioning pins at the four corners of the positioning table are precisely matched with the arc grooves on the mold body to achieve rapid positioning of the mold, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. At the same time, the pallets are neatly stacked on the liftable pallet platform of the pallet loading rack, and the clamping guards on both sides can effectively prevent the pallets from tipping over or shaking during the lifting process, ensuring the stability of the pallet placement.

[0057] B Molding Operation

[0058] (1) Mold forming: Through the mold grabbing mechanism, that is, the grabbing frame movably installed on the frame, under the coordinated action of the transverse drive mechanism and the lifting drive mechanism, the left and right grabbing arms are driven, so that the inner positioning head accurately docks with the clamping positioning holes around the mold body, and the positioned mold is quickly and smoothly moved to the core shooting molding machine at the mold forming station. With its sophisticated control system, the core shooting molding machine accurately controls key parameters such as pressure, temperature and injection speed during the molding process, so that the raw materials can be accurately injected into multiple molding cavities of the mold body, and the pressure holding and curing processes are successfully completed, ensuring that each conical part can meet high molding quality standards.

[0059] (2) Demolding: After the molding process is completed, the mold is removed. At this time, different paths are selected according to the type of demolding. If it is a positive demolding, the positive demolding operation is performed first, and then the clamping assembly and the flipping assembly of the mold flipping station work together. The cylinder pushes the pin push plate so that the clamping pin and the clamping positioning hole of the mold body are closely matched to firmly clamp the mold. The drive motor and the reducer provide stable and controllable rotational power for the clamping assembly, and accurately achieve 180-degree flipping. After flipping, the male mold is taken out, and then the tray transfer mechanism, that is, the gantry-type lateral drive mechanism on the frame drives the suction cup frame, uses the multiple suction cups on the bottom edge of the suction cup frame to absorb the tray, and transfers it to this station to place the tray. After placement, the mold is flipped at the mold flipping station; if it is a reverse demolding, the tray is first transferred and placed in the corresponding position by the tray transfer mechanism, and then the mold is flipped at the mold flipping station, and then the mother mold is taken out.

[0060] C: Auxiliary operation

[0061] (1) Pallet feeding: In the pallet feeding process, the automatic pallet loading mechanism plays an important role. The reciprocating lifting drive mechanism can flexibly adjust the height of the pallet platform according to production needs by cooperating with the lifting guide rail and the lifting slider, which facilitates the use of the pallet and improves the feeding efficiency. The multiple sets of rollers installed on the push-plate platform along the pallet feeding direction can effectively reduce the friction between the pallet and the platform, making the pallet move more smoothly during the adsorption and retrieval process, reducing the risk of jamming. When the pallet needs to be taken, the multiple suction cups on the suction cup rack are driven by the gantry-type transverse drive mechanism to move above the pallet, adsorb the pallet, and then transfer it to the corresponding workstation. In addition, the long waist-shaped adjustment holes opened on the pallet rack corresponding to the suction cup installation position, especially the long waist-shaped adjustment holes arranged along the diagonal of the pallet rack at the four corners, can flexibly adjust the installation position of the suction cup to adapt to pallets of different sizes and specifications, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the production line.

[0062] (2) Mold flipping: The structures of the mold primary flipping station and the mold secondary flipping station are similar, both of which are composed of a clamping assembly and a flipping assembly. The two supporting columns of the flipping assembly are connected through a reducer mounting plate to form a stable gantry structure. The drive motor and reducer in the drive mechanism work together to provide power for the clamping assembly. Inside the clamping assembly, the cylinder pushes the latch push plate, so that the clamping latch and the clamping positioning holes around the mold body fit tightly together to achieve a firm clamping of the mold. During the flipping process, the upper and lower protective plates protect the mold and internal molded parts in all directions, effectively avoiding collision damage, ensuring stable operation of the equipment and the integrity of the product.

[0063] (3) Mold grabbing: Multiple mold grabbing mechanisms corresponding to each workstation enable the mold to be quickly and flexibly transferred between workstations. The positioning heads on the inner side of the left grabbing arm and the right grabbing arm, under the coordinated action of the lateral movement and lifting drive mechanism, accurately dock with the clamping positioning holes of the mold body, ensuring the smooth and accurate mold handling process, greatly reducing the waiting time between processes, and significantly improving the overall production efficiency. At the same time, the guide rails installed on the left and right grabbing arms along the telescopic direction of the positioning heads, and the slide connected to the linear reciprocating drive mechanism, provide precise guidance and efficient drive for the telescopic movement of the positioning heads. Multiple positioning heads installed on the slide not only enhance the grasping stability of the grasping mechanism on the mold, but also better adapt to the grasping requirements of molds of different specifications, further improving the reliability and flexibility of the mold grasping process.

[0064] (4) Mold scraping: The bracket of the mold scraping station is equipped with a push-flat drive mechanism, a rotary drive mechanism, a lifting drive mechanism and an elastic floating mechanism. These mechanisms work together and are powerful. The push-flat drive mechanism pushes the scraping assembly to move horizontally along the mold surface, the rotary drive mechanism adjusts the scraper angle in real time according to the mold shape, the lifting drive mechanism accurately controls the scraper height, and the elastic floating part in the elastic floating mechanism enables the scraper to adapt to the unevenness of the mold surface. The coordination of this series of mechanisms ensures that the excess material on the mold surface is efficiently scraped off, ensures the flatness of the mold surface and the uniformity of the material distribution in the molding cavity, further improves the molding quality of the conical parts, and significantly reduces the workload of manual scraping and reduces labor intensity.

[0065] (5) Subsequent processing

[0066] After taking out the master mold, the mold is sprayed with a release agent, and then the pallet is transported. This completes a complete production cycle, and the next round of cone forming production can continue.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
