DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention provides a horizontal injection molding machine for processing a plastic pallet, comprising a base 1;

[0033] A material taking mechanism 2 for unloading is provided on one side of the base 1, an injection molding machine body 5 is installed at one end of the top of the base 1, a second mold 6 is provided at the other end of the top of the base 1, a blowing assembly 3 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a conveying mechanism 4 is provided at one end of the injection molding machine body 5;

[0034] The injection molding machine body 5 belongs to injection molding equipment, and the injection molding machine is a main molding equipment that uses a plastic molding mold to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastic plastics or thermosetting plastics, and horizontal injection molding machines are mostly used in the prior art.

[0035] The cooperation between the blowing assembly 3 and the conveying mechanism 4 achieves a double cooling effect, so as to shorten the curing time of the plastic;

[0036] The material picking mechanism 2 includes a pushing component, a supporting component, an installing component, a bearing component, a driving component, a transmission component and an adsorption component. The pushing component is arranged at one end of the base 1, the supporting component is arranged at one side of the base 1, the installing component is arranged at the top of the supporting component, the bearing component is arranged inside the installing component, the driving component is arranged inside the installing component, the transmission component is arranged inside the installing component, and the adsorption component is arranged on the outside of the transmission component.

[0037] Through the cooperation of the pushing assembly, the supporting assembly, the mounting assembly, the bearing assembly, the driving assembly, the transmission assembly and the adsorption assembly, not only the horizontal position can be adjusted, but also the direction of the pallet to be taken off and unloaded can be adjusted by rotation, so as to carry out the unloading operation.

[0038] Preferred;

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the pushing assembly includes an electric push rod 27, which is fixedly mounted on one end of the base 1. A connecting seat 28 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 27, which can be used to horizontally adjust the required position to facilitate subsequent precise loading and unloading operations.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly includes a carrier plate 21, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the base 1. A slide groove 22 is provided on the top of the carrier plate 21 and the base 1 to assist the support sliding and realize sliding limit, thereby ensuring the stability of operation.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the installation assembly includes a slider 23, which is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 22. A connection box 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 23. The connection box 24 is fixed to the connection seat 28 and can cooperate with the above-mentioned sliding operation, while also supporting and protecting the internal components.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the bearing assembly includes a first partition plate 25 and a second partition plate 26, which are both fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the connection box 24 and are mainly used to support the components to be connected thereto. The first partition plate 25 can support the forward and reverse motor 29 to ensure its stable installation and operation, while the second partition plate 26 is conducive to the through-type rotating connection and support operation of the first bevel gear 210 to ensure its rotation stability. At the same time, the first partition plate 25 and the second partition plate 26 can also separate the space inside the connection box 24 to avoid mutual influence between the components.

[0043] Based on the above, a protective side plate is bolted to one side of the connection box 24, which is mainly used to protect the side and is convenient for inspection, replacement and maintenance of internal components after removal. Notches are provided on the tops of the connection box 24 and the protective side plate, which can not only ensure that the connection plate 213 is not obstructed during rotation, but also provide auxiliary support for it after it is rotated to the desired position.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly includes a forward and reverse motor 29, which is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the first partition 25. The output shaft key of the forward and reverse motor 29 is connected to the first bevel gear 210, which performs power output when adjusting the direction, and the first bevel gear 210 can change the rotation axis.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, the transmission assembly includes a second bevel gear 211, which is meshed at the top of the first bevel gear 210. The inner wall of the connecting box 24 is rotatably connected to the shaft 212. The second bevel gear 211 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the shaft 212 and can rotate when subjected to force, thereby driving the following adsorption assembly to rotate and the removed plastic pallet to rotate synchronously.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the adsorption assembly includes a connecting plate 213, which is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the shaft 212. A vacuum suction cup 214 is fixedly mounted on the end of one side of the connecting plate 213, so as to facilitate direct adsorption processing after contacting the plastic pallet, thereby completing the material removal. Then, the adsorption operation can be released after adjusting the required position and direction according to the operation of the above-mentioned equipment, and the material removal is completed.

[0047] Based on the above operation method is as follows;

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the direction required for taking the material has been adjusted to the required direction, and the position is at the position to be taken and unloaded. At this time, the second mold 6 will be pulled by the connected cylinder and separated from the first mold 41 until it moves to a position where it cannot be moved. Then the electric push rod 27 works, and it drives the parts connected inside the connection box 24 to move together through the connection seat 28, and makes the slider 23 slide horizontally inside the slide groove 22 until the vacuum suction cup 214 and the second mold 6 and the formed tray are horizontally symmetrically arranged;

[0049] At this time, the second mold 6 is pushed by the cylinder until the plastic tray contacts the vacuum suction cup 214, and then the vacuum suction cup 214 works. The vacuum suction cup 214 is a device that uses vacuum negative pressure to absorb and fix objects. It is one of the actuators of vacuum equipment. It is usually composed of a suction cup and a suction cup hoop. The material is mostly nitrile rubber. This material has a large tearing force, so it is widely used in various vacuum holding equipment;

[0050] The working principle of the vacuum suction cup 214 is based on the Bernoulli principle in physics and the atmospheric pressure difference. When a vacuum state is formed inside the suction cup, the external atmospheric pressure will generate an inward pressure on the air in the suction cup. This pressure difference is sufficient to overcome the gravity or other external forces of the adsorbed object, thereby achieving stable adsorption. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup 214 is connected to the vacuum equipment through its own pipe. The vacuum equipment is turned on to suck air, so that the air in the suction cup is sucked out, generating negative air pressure, thereby firmly adsorbing the object and carrying it;

[0051] After complete adsorption, the second mold 6 is pulled again by the cylinder. At this time, the plastic pallet is gradually separated from the second mold 6 due to being adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup 214, and then the material removal operation can be completed. After that, the electric push rod 27 is pushed according to the above method until it is pushed to a position where it can rotate. When it is necessary to rotate and adjust the direction, the first bevel gear 210 is directly driven by the forward and reverse motor 29 to rotate. At this time, the first bevel gear 210 is engaged to drive the second bevel gear 211 and the shaft 212, the connecting plate 213 and the vacuum suction cup 214 to rotate together, and rotate to an opposite position, and then it can be directly transported to the next working position by the external conveying equipment. At this time, the conveying equipment can be conveyed by a conveyor, and the working state of the vacuum suction cup 214 needs to be synchronously released during the conveying.

[0052] When the material is frequently unloaded, the above operation can be repeated, and the forward and reverse motor 29 can perform the flipping operation as required to adjust the required direction.

[0053] It is convenient to directly take the material after the injection molding machine completes the injection molding and the plastic pallet is formed, so that it can be separated from the mold, thereby realizing the advantages of integrated injection molding and unloading, and adopts a feeding and rotating method for unloading.

[0054] further;

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the blowing assembly 3 includes a groove 31, which is opened at the top of the base 1. A partition frame 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and a fan 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove 31 to facilitate blowing heat, thereby assisting the cooling work.

[0056] One step closer;

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a first mold 41, and the first mold 41 is arranged on the top of the base 1. A conveying pipe 42 is installed through the inside of the first mold 41. One end of the conveying pipe 42 is connected to a connecting pipe 43, and one end of the connecting pipe 43 is connected to a hose 44, which can convey coolant and water as needed. The pipeline is connected to an external pump, and the pump is connected to a container of coolant or cooling water, so that a circulating conveying operation can be performed.

[0058] When cooling down;

[0059] Directly start the fan 33, and use the wind force blown by the fan 33 to take away the heat in the mold, thereby assisting and accelerating the efficiency of the plastic pallet molding. Simultaneously, an external pump extracts water or coolant from the corresponding container and delivers it to the delivery pipe 42 through the hose 44 and the connecting pipe 43. When passing through the interior of the first mold 41, the temperature of the first mold 41 will be directly reduced, so as to increase the required cooling efficiency again, thereby improving production capacity and shortening processing time.

[0060] To achieve the purpose of rapid cooling, the use of double cooling method can make the plastic pallet quickly cool and form, thereby accelerating work efficiency.

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
