[0005] The production device for an expansion water kettle with a liquid level visual marking plate provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions: A production device for an expansion water kettle with a liquid level visible marking plate, comprising an injection molding mechanism, a transfer mechanism and a separation mechanism. The injection molding mechanism is used for molding products. The separation mechanism includes a separation frame, a clamping component, a separation motor and a sliding component. The separation frame is used for placing workpieces and inserts. The clamping component is connected to the separation frame. The sliding direction of the clamping component is parallel to the axis direction of the insert placed on the separation frame. The rotation axis of the clamping component is parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping component. The clamping component is used for clamping the outer wall of the insert. The separation motor is connected to the separation frame. The separation motor is used for driving the clamping component to rotate. The sliding component is connected to the separation frame. The sliding component is used for driving the clamping component to slide. The transfer mechanism is used for placing the products and inserts formed in the injection molding mechanism on the separation frame or embedding the inserts into the molding cavity of the injection molding mechanism.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the transfer mechanism realizes the transfer of products and inserts between the injection molding mechanism and the separation mechanism. The lifting component drives the clamping component to approach the insert. After the clamping component clamps the outer wall of the insert, the separation motor works to drive the clamping component to rotate, so as to screw the insert away from the product, realizing the separation of the insert and the product, reducing manual intervention, lowering the working intensity of the staff, improving the automation level of the expansion water kettle production equipment, and improving the production efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the separation mechanism further includes a turntable, a rotation motor and a placement table. The turntable is coaxially and rotatably connected to the separation frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation motor works to drive the turntable to rotate, so that the placement table moves away from below the clamping component, facilitating the placement of products and inserts on the placement table, or removing the products separated from the inserts above the placement table, reducing the possibility of collision between the transfer mechanism and the clamping component. There is a convex block at the upper end of the placement table to limit the product, reducing the possibility of relative rotation of the product when the insert and the product are separated, and improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the separation mechanism further includes an adjustment seat, a locking block and a locking bolt. The adjustment seat is connected to the turntable. The placement table is connected to the upper end of the adjustment seat. The locking block is connected to the adjustment seat. There are two locking blocks. The two locking blocks are symmetrically distributed along the sliding direction of the locking block. The placement table is provided with an embedding groove. The number of the embedding grooves and the locking bolts is the same as that of the locking blocks and they correspond one by one. The locking block is embedded in the embedding groove. The locking bolt passes through the locking block and is threadedly connected to the adjustment seat.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement table of different specifications can be replaced as needed. The locking bolt passes through the locking block and is threadedly connected to the adjusting seat. The locking block is embedded in the embedding groove, realizing the relative fixation of the placement table and the adjusting seat, reducing the possibility of the placement table shifting during the separation process of the insert and the product, and improving the application range and reliability of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the separation mechanism further includes a locking nut. The adjusting seat is provided with an adjusting groove. The number of locking nuts is the same as and corresponds to the number of locking blocks one by one. The locking nuts are slidably embedded in the adjusting groove. The sliding direction of the locking nuts is parallel to the length direction of the adjusting seat. The side wall of the locking nut is in contact with the groove wall of the adjusting groove. A limiting strip is connected to the groove wall of the adjusting groove along the width direction of the adjusting seat. The locking nut abuts against one side surface of the limiting strip close to the bottom of the adjusting groove. The locking bolt passes through the locking block and is threadedly connected to the locking nut.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking nuts are slidably embedded in the adjusting groove, the locking bolts are threadedly connected to the locking nuts, the side walls of the locking nuts are in contact with the groove walls of the adjusting groove, and the locking nuts abut against one side surface of the limiting strip close to the bottom of the adjusting groove, realizing the relative fixation of the placement table and the adjusting seat, realizing stepless adjustment of the distance between the two locking blocks, and improving the application range of the equipment.

[0013] Preferably, the separation mechanism further includes a fixing bolt. A plurality of connecting blocks are connected to the outer periphery of the adjusting seat.

The pressing block is used to press against the upper end of the product placed on the placement table. The first resetting member is connected between the pressing block and the sliding seat. The first resetting member makes the pressing block tend to move away from the sliding seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead screw and the sliding seat in the sliding component cooperate to enable the clamping component to slide precisely in the vertical direction.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the chamfer plays a guiding role for the limiting section, facilitating the embedding of the limiting section into the limiting hole, reducing the possibility of jamming caused by incorrect angles when the two come into contact, realizing the correction of the turntable angle, and facilitating the placing table to be directly opposite to the clamping component.

[0021] Preferably, it further includes a storage frame. The separating mechanism further includes a receiving hopper, a slider, a connecting rod, a third resetting component, an airbag and an air outlet pipe.
