[0129] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0130] After the product is processed by injection molding or other methods, it is attached to the mold. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the product from the mold to achieve the demolding process.
[0131] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A perspective view of a demolding device 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A perspective view of the demolding device 100 after removing the frame 10 is shown. The mold includes a male mold and a female mold, with handles on both sides of the male mold for fastening onto the sides of the female mold. The demolding device 100 includes the frame 10, a first transport module 20, a plug-removing module 30, a mold loading module 40, a demolding device 50, a mold unloading module 60, and a product unloading module 70. The frame 10 serves as a support platform, supporting the aforementioned components and forming the outer shell of the demolding device 100. The first transport module 20 has a plug-removing station and a mold loading station sequentially arranged along its transport direction (first direction x). The first transport module 20 is used to transport fully loaded molds to the plug-removing station and the mold loading station. The plug-removing module 30 is used to remove the plugs from the mold located at the plug-removing station. The mold loading module 40 is used to transfer the mold located at the mold loading station to the second transport module 50a. The demolding device 50 includes a second transport module 50a and a demolding module. The second transport module 50a is sequentially provided with a demolding station, a mold unloading station, and a product unloading station along its transport direction (first direction x). The second transport module 50a is arranged parallel to the first transport module 20. The second transport module 50a is used to transport the mold to the demolding station. The demolding module is used to disassemble, demold, and close the mold located at the demolding station. The second transport module 50a is also used to transport the closed empty mold to the mold unloading station. The mold unloading module 60 is used to transport the empty mold at the mold unloading station to the unloading conveyor 80a. The second transport module 50a is also used to transport the demolded product to the product unloading station. The product unloading module 70 is used to transport the demolded product at the product unloading station to the product conveyor 80b.
[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame 10 includes a machine base 110, which divides the frame 10 into a first installation space 120 and a second installation space 130. The first transport module 20, the plug removal module 30, the mold feeding module 40, the demolding device 50, the mold unloading module 60, and the product unloading module 70 are all installed in the first installation space 120. The second installation space 130 is provided with a heat dissipation module (not shown) for dissipating heat from each module in the first installation space 120.
[0133] In some embodiments, the machine tool 110 is plate-shaped. For ease of description, the length direction of the machine tool 110 is defined as the first direction x, the width direction of the machine tool 110 is defined as the second direction y, and the height direction of the machine tool 110 is defined as the third direction z. The first direction x, the second direction y, and the third direction z are all mutually perpendicular.
[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first transport module 20 is mounted on the machine base 110 along the first direction x, and the transport direction of the first transport module 20 is parallel to the first direction x. The first transport module 20 includes a support base 210 and a belt conveyor 220 fixed on the support base 210. The support base 210 is fixed on the machine base 110 along the first direction x, and the transport direction of the belt conveyor 220 is parallel to the first direction x. When a fully loaded mold is placed on the belt conveyor 220, the first transport module 20 controls the belt conveyor 220 to transport the mold to the plug removal station and the mold loading station.
[0135] In some embodiments, along the transport direction of the belt conveyor 220, a first lifting assembly 230 and a second lifting assembly 240 are sequentially arranged on the support base 210. The first lifting assembly 230 is located at the plug removal station, and the second lifting assembly 240 is located at the mold loading station. Specifically, the first lifting assembly 230 is used to lift the mold along the third direction (z) when the fully loaded mold is transported to the plug removal station, so that the mold is detached from the belt of the belt conveyor 220, facilitating the plug removal module 30 to remove the plug. After the plug is removed from the mold, the first lifting assembly 230 controls the mold to descend so that the mold is repositioned on the belt of the belt conveyor 220. The second lifting assembly 240 is used to lift the mold along the third direction (z) when the mold is transported to the mold loading station, so that the mold is detached from the belt of the belt conveyor 220, facilitating the mold loading module 40 to clamp the mold.
[0136] In some embodiments, the first transport module 20 includes two belt conveyors 220, which are spaced apart on the support base 210 along a second direction y, and the two belt conveyors 220 have the same transport direction. Along the second direction y, a first lifting assembly 230 and a second lifting assembly 240 are both located between the two belt conveyors 220.
[0137] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first lifting assembly 230 includes a first mounting plate 231, a first lifting block 232 movably connected to the first mounting plate 231, and a first drive module 233 that drives the first lifting block 232 to move up and down in a third direction z. The first mounting plate 231 is fixed to the support base 210, the first lifting block 232 is used to support the mold, and the first drive module 233 is fixed to the first mounting plate 231. The output end of the first drive module 233 is connected to the first lifting block 232. The first drive module 233 is used to control the first lifting block 232 to drive the mold to rise or fall when the fully loaded mold is transported to the plug removal station.
[0138] It should be noted that the plug removal station mentioned here refers to the position where the plug removal module 30 is transported to the top of the first lifting component 230 to grasp the mold or plug.
[0139] In some embodiments, the first drive module 233 is a lifting cylinder.
[0140] In some embodiments, to make the first top block 232 move more smoothly, the first lifting assembly 230 further includes a first guide rod 234 and a first guide sleeve 235 sleeved on the first guide rod 234. The length directions of the first guide rod 234 and the first guide sleeve 235 are parallel to the third direction z. The first guide sleeve 235 is fixed to the first mounting plate 231, the first guide rod 234 is fixed to the first top block 232, and the first guide rod 234 can move along the length direction of the first guide sleeve 235.
[0141] In some embodiments, the number of first guide rods 234 is 2, the two first guide rods 234 are spaced apart, and the first drive module 233 is disposed between the two first guide rods 234.
[0142] It should be noted that after the rubber plug on the mold is removed, the first drive module 233 controls the first top block 232 to descend and reset, allowing the mold to be repositioned on the belt of the belt conveyor 220. For example, the first top block 232 is equipped with a sensor. When the sensor detects the mold, the first transport module 20 controls the first drive module 233 to drive the first top block 232 to rise. When the sensor detects that the weight on the first top block 232 has decreased, the first transport module 20 controls the first drive module 233 to drive the first top block 232 to lower and reset the mold, allowing the mold to return to the belt conveyor 220, indicating that the rubber plug on the mold has been removed.
[0143] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second lifting assembly 240 includes a second mounting plate 241, a second lifting block 242 movably connected to the second mounting plate 241, and a second drive module 243 that drives the second lifting block 242 to rise and fall along a third direction z. The second mounting plate 241 is fixed to the support base 210, the second lifting block 242 is used to support the mold, the second drive module 243 is fixed to the second mounting plate 241, and the output end of the second drive module 243 is connected to the second lifting block 242. The second drive module 243 is used to control the second lifting block 242 to drive the mold to rise or fall when the mold is transported to the mold loading station.
[0144] It should be noted that the mold loading station mentioned here refers to the position where the mold loading module 40 is transported to the top of the second lifting component 240 and can grasp the mold.
[0145] In some embodiments, the second drive module 243 is a lifting cylinder.
[0146] In some embodiments, to make the second top block 242 move more smoothly, the second lifting assembly 240 further includes a second guide rod 244 and a second guide sleeve 245 sleeved on the second guide rod 244. The length directions of the second guide rod 244 and the second guide sleeve 245 are both parallel to the third direction z. The second guide sleeve 245 is fixed to the second mounting plate 241, the second guide rod 244 is fixed to the second top block 242, and the second guide rod 244 can move along the length direction of the second guide sleeve 245.
[0147] In some embodiments, the number of second guide rods 244 is two, the two second guide rods 244 are spaced apart, and the second drive module 243 is disposed between the two second guide rods 244.
[0148] It should be noted that after the mold is picked up by the mold feeding module 40, the second drive module 243 controls the second top block 242 to descend and reset, so that the mold is repositioned on the belt of the belt conveyor 220. For example, the second top block 242 is equipped with a sensor. When the sensor detects the mold, the first transport module 20 controls the second drive module 243 to drive the second top block 242 to rise. When the sensor detects that the weight on the second top block 242 has decreased, the first transport module 20 controls the second drive module 243 to drive the second top block 242 to descend and reset, indicating that the mold has been picked up by the mold feeding module 40.
[0149] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the plug removal module 30 includes a first support frame 310, a first longitudinal movement assembly 320, a first lifting assembly 330, and a first gripping assembly 340. The first support frame 310 is mounted on the machine base 110 along the second direction y, and supports the first longitudinal movement assembly 320, the first lifting assembly 330, and the first gripping assembly 340. The first longitudinal movement assembly 320 is fixed to the first support frame 310, the first lifting assembly 330 is slidably connected to the first longitudinal movement assembly 320 along the second direction y, and the first gripping assembly 340 is slidably connected to the first lifting assembly 330 along the third direction z.
[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first longitudinal movement component 320 includes a first Y-axis driver 321 fixed to the first support frame 310 and a first longitudinal sliding seat 322 connected to the output end of the first Y-axis driver 321. The first Y-axis driver 321 is used to control the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 to slide along the second direction y. The first lifting component 330 is fixed to the first longitudinal sliding seat 322, so that under the control of the first Y-axis driver 321, the first lifting component 330 and the first gripping component 340 can move relative to the first support frame 310 along the second direction y with the first longitudinal sliding seat 322.
[0151] In some embodiments, the first Y-axis driver 321 is a linear motor.
[0152] In some embodiments, the first Y-axis driver 321 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the second direction y, so that the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 can move along the second direction y with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the first Y-axis driver 321 is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the second direction y, so that the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 to move relative to the first support frame 310 along the second direction y is included in this application.
[0153] In some embodiments, the first longitudinal movement component 320 further includes a first longitudinal slide rail 323 and a first longitudinal slider 324 slidably connected to the first longitudinal slide rail 323. The first longitudinal slide rail 323 is arranged on the first support frame 310 along the second direction y. The first lifting component 330 is fixed to the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 and the first longitudinal slider 324, so that when the first Y-axis driver 321 drives the first longitudinal sliding seat 322 to move, the first lifting component 330 and the first gripping component 340 can move smoothly relative to the first support frame 310 along the first longitudinal slide rail 323.
[0154] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first lifting assembly 330 includes a first mounting base 331, a first Z-axis driver 332 fixed to the first mounting base 331, and a first lifting sliding base 333 connected to the output end of the first Z-axis driver 332. The first mounting base 331 is fixed to the first longitudinal sliding base 322 and the first longitudinal slider 324. The first Z-axis driver 332 is used to control the first lifting sliding base 333 to move relative to the first support frame 310 along the third direction z. The first gripping assembly 340 is fixed to the first lifting sliding base 333, so that under the control of the first Z-axis driver 332, the first gripping assembly 340 can move relative to the first support frame 310 along the third direction z with the first lifting sliding base 333.
[0155] In some embodiments, the first Z-axis driver 332 is a linear motor.
[0156] In some embodiments, the first Z-axis driver 332 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the first lifting slide 333 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the third direction z. Thus, during the rotation of the pulley, the first lifting slide 333 can move along the third direction z with the belt. Alternatively, the first Z-axis driver 332 is a screw drive assembly. For example, the first lifting slide 333 is threaded to a screw, and the length direction of the screw is parallel to the third direction z. Thus, when the screw rotates, the first lifting slide 333 can move along the screw. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the first lifting slide 333 to move relative to the first support frame 310 along the third direction z is included in this application.
[0157] In some embodiments, the first lifting assembly 330 further includes a first lifting slide rail 334 and a first lifting slider 335. The first lifting slide rail 334 is fixed to the first mounting base 331 along the third direction z. The first lifting slider 335 is slidably connected to the first lifting slide rail 334. The first gripping assembly 340 is fixed to the first lifting slide base 333 and the first lifting slider 335, so that when the first Z-axis driver 332 drives the first lifting slide base 333 to move, the first gripping assembly 340 can move smoothly relative to the first support frame 310 along the first lifting slide rail 334.
[0158] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first gripping assembly 340 includes a first base 341, a rotary driver 342 fixed to the first base 341, and a first claw 343 connected to the output end of the rotary driver 342. The first base 341 is fixed to the first lifting sliding seat 333 and the first lifting slider 335, so that the first base 341 can move smoothly with the first lifting sliding seat 333. The first claw 343 is used to grip the rubber plug of the mold, and the rotary driver 342 is used to control the rotation of the first claw 343 to cooperate with the first lifting assembly 330 to drive the rubber plug to rise and remove the rubber plug from the mold.
[0159] In some embodiments, the first jaws 343 can be configured according to actual conditions. For example, the number of first jaws 343 matches the number of rubber plugs, with one first jaw 343 gripping one rubber plug. The rotary driver 342 can synchronously drive multiple first jaws 343 to rotate together.
[0160] In some embodiments, the rotary driver 342 includes, but is not limited to, a belt drive assembly. For example, a driving wheel is connected to a plurality of driven wheels via a belt. The shaft of each driven wheel is rotatably connected to a first base 341, and the free end of the shaft of each driven wheel is connected to a first jaw clamp 343, so that when the driving wheel rotates, the plurality of first jaw clamps 343 can rotate together with the driving wheel. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the first jaw clamps 343 to rotate is included in this application.
[0161] In some embodiments, the first gripper 343 is an electric gripper. The rotary driver 342 is also used to control the opening and closing of the first gripper 343.
[0162] In some embodiments, the plug removal module 30 further includes a plug storage box 350 (e.g., Figure 20 As shown, the rubber stopper storage box 350 is fixed to the machine base 110 and is used to receive rubber stoppers removed from the mold. Specifically, after the first jaw 343 removes the rubber stopper under the control of the rotary driver 342 and the first Z-axis driver 332, the first jaw 343 carrying the rubber stopper moves to above the rubber stopper storage box 350 under the control of the first Y-axis driver 321. The rotary driver 342 and the first Y-axis driver 321 control the first jaw 343 to descend and release the rubber stopper, which then falls into the rubber stopper storage box 350.
[0163] In some embodiments, along the second direction y, the second transport module 50a is located between the first transport module 20 and the rubber stopper storage box 350. Further, along the second direction y, the rubber stopper storage box 350 is located between the start and end points of the transport path of the first gripping assembly 340.
[0164] In a specific embodiment, the first Y-axis driver 321 controls the first jaw 343 to transport along the second direction y to the plug removal station. At the same time, the first Z-axis driver 332 and the rotary driver 342 control the first jaw 343 to descend and clamp the plug of the mold located at the plug removal station. After the first jaw 343 clamps the plug, the rotary driver 342 and the first Z-axis driver 332 control the first jaw 343 to rotate and rise to remove the plug. After the plug is removed, the first Y-axis driver 321 controls the first jaw 343 to carry the plug along the second direction y to the top of the plug storage box 350. Then, the first Z-axis driver 332 drives the first jaw 343 to descend, while the rotary driver 342 controls the first jaw 343 to release so that the plug falls into the plug storage box 350.
[0165] It should be noted that after the rubber plug is removed, the first drive module 233 controls the first top block 232 to drive the mold down, so that the mold returns to the belt of the belt conveyor 220 and is transported to the mold loading station under the control of the belt conveyor 220. After the mold is transported to the mold loading station, the second drive module 243 controls the second top block 242 to drive the mold up, so that the mold is detached from the belt of the belt conveyor 220 and waits for the mold loading module 40 to grab it.
[0166] It should be noted that when the mold is being transported from the plug removal station to the mold loading station, the belt conveyor 220 simultaneously transports the new fully loaded mold to the plug removal station, performing the same steps as the previous mold, thus achieving synchronous operation of multiple stations.
[0167] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the mold feeding module 40 includes a second support frame 410, a second longitudinal movement assembly 420, a second lifting assembly 430, and a second gripping assembly 440. The second support frame 410 is arranged on the machine base 110 along a second direction y, and supports the second longitudinal movement assembly 420, the second lifting assembly 430, and the second gripping assembly 440. A first support frame 310 is arranged parallel to the second support frame 410. The second longitudinal movement assembly 420 is slidably connected to the second support frame 410 along the second direction y, and can move relative to the second support frame 410 along the second direction y. The second lifting assembly 430 is slidably connected to the second longitudinal movement assembly 420 along a third direction z, and can move relative to the second support frame 410 along the third direction z. The second gripping assembly 440 is connected to the second lifting assembly 430.
[0168] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second longitudinal movement assembly 420 includes a second Y-axis driver 421 fixed to the second support frame 410 and a second longitudinal sliding seat 422 connected to the output end of the second Y-axis driver 421. The second Y-axis driver 421 is used to control the second longitudinal sliding seat 422 to slide along the second direction y. The second lifting assembly 430 is fixed to the second longitudinal sliding seat 422, so that under the control of the second Y-axis driver 421, the second lifting assembly 430 and the second gripping assembly 440 can move relative to the second support frame 410 along the second direction y with the second longitudinal sliding seat 422.
[0169] In some embodiments, the second Y-axis driver 421 is a linear motor.
[0170] In some embodiments, the second Y-axis driver 421 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the second longitudinal slide seat 422 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the second direction y, so that the second longitudinal slide seat 422 can move along the second direction y with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the second Y-axis driver 421 is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the second longitudinal slide seat 422 is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the second direction y, so that the second longitudinal slide seat 422 can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the second longitudinal slide seat 422 to move relative to the second support frame 410 along the second direction y is included in this application.
[0171] In some embodiments, the second longitudinal movement component 420 includes a second longitudinal slide rail 423 and a second longitudinal slider 424 slidably connected to the second longitudinal slide rail 423. The second longitudinal slide rail 423 is arranged on the second support frame 410 along the second direction y. The second lifting component 430 is fixed to the second longitudinal sliding seat 422 and the second longitudinal slider 424, so that when the second Y-axis driver 421 drives the second longitudinal sliding seat 422 to move, the second lifting component 430 and the second gripping component 440 can move smoothly relative to the second support frame 410 along the second longitudinal slide rail 423.
[0172] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the second lifting assembly 430 includes a second mounting base 431, a second Z-axis driver 432 fixed on the second mounting base 431, and a second lifting sliding seat 433 connected to the output end of the second Z-axis driver 432. The second mounting base 431 is fixed to the second longitudinal sliding seat 422 and the second longitudinal slider 424. The second Z-axis driver 432 is used to control the second lifting sliding seat 433 to move relative to the second support frame 410 along the third direction z. The second gripping assembly 440 is fixed to the second lifting sliding seat 433, so that under the control of the second Z-axis driver 432, the second gripping assembly 440 can move relative to the second support frame 410 along the third direction z with the second lifting sliding seat 433.
[0173] In some embodiments, the second Z-axis driver 432 is a linear motor.
[0174] In some embodiments, the second Z-axis driver 432 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the second lifting slide 433 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the third direction z, so that the second lifting slide 433 can move along the third direction z with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the second Z-axis driver 432 is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the second lifting slide 433 is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the third direction z, so that the second lifting slide 433 can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the second lifting slide 433 to move relative to the second support frame 410 along the third direction z is included in this application.
[0175] In some embodiments, the second lifting assembly 430 further includes a second lifting slide rail 434 and a second lifting slider 435. The second lifting slide rail 434 is arranged along the third direction z on the second longitudinal sliding seat 422, and the second lifting slider 435 is slidably connected to the second lifting slide rail 434. The second gripping assembly 440 is fixed to the second lifting slide seat 433 and the second lifting slider 435, so that when the second Z-axis driver 432 drives the second lifting slide seat 433 to move, the second gripping assembly 440 can move smoothly along the second lifting slide rail 434 relative to the second support frame 410.
[0176] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the second gripping assembly 440 includes a second base 441, two second grippers 442 located on both sides of the second base 441 and capable of moving closer or further apart, and a third drive module 443 (gripper cylinder) for controlling the movement of the two second grippers 442. The third drive module 443 is fixed to the second base 441, and the second base 441 is fixed to the second lifting sliding seat 433 and the second lifting slider 435. The two second grippers 442 can cooperate with each other to quickly grip the mold (the mold located at the mold loading station).
[0177] In some embodiments, the third drive module 443 is a cylinder.
[0178] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the second gripping assembly 440 also includes a first transverse slide rail 444 fixed to the second base 441 and a first transverse slider 445 slidably connected to the first transverse slide rail 444. The second claw 442 is fixed to the first transverse slider 445, so that under the control of the third drive module 443, the second claw 442 can move smoothly along the first transverse slide rail 444.
[0179] It is understandable that there are two first horizontal sliders 445, and a second claw 442 is fixed to one of the first horizontal sliders 445.
[0180] In some embodiments, the second gripping assembly 440 further includes two push blocks 446 disposed on both sides of the second base 441 along the second direction y and capable of moving closer or further apart, and a telescopic cylinder 447 (gripper cylinder) for controlling the movement of the two push blocks 446. The telescopic cylinder 447 is fixed to the second base 441.
[0181] In some embodiments, a roller 448 is provided at the end of the push block 446 away from the second base 441. The roller 448 is used to push open the handle. After the mold is transported to the second transport module 50a, the telescopic cylinder 447 drives the two push blocks 446 to push open the two handles through the roller 448. In this way, the locking force between the male mold and the female mold is lost, which effectively improves the separation efficiency of the male mold and the female mold.
[0182] In specific implementation, the second Y-axis driver 421 controls the second jaw 442 to transport along the second direction y to the mold loading station. Then, the third drive module 443 controls the second jaw 442 to clamp the mold located on the second top block 242. After the second jaw 442 clamps the mold, the second Z-axis driver 432 and the second Y-axis driver 421 control the second jaw 442 to move the mold to the second transport module 50a. After the mold is placed in the second transport module 50a, the third drive module 443 controls the two second jaws 442 to move away from each other to release the mold. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 447 controls the two push blocks 446 to drive the rollers 448 to move away from each other to open the handle. After the handle is opened, the telescopic cylinder 447 controls the two push blocks 446 to move closer to each other to reset.
[0183] It should be noted that when the fully loaded mold is conveyed on the belt conveyor 220, the mold is kept in the position of the female mold on top and the male mold on the bottom.
[0184] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, the demolding device 50 includes a first demolding module 50b, a second demolding module 50c, and a third demolding module 50d. The first demolding module 50b and the third demolding module 50d are both connected to the second transport module 50a. The second demolding module 50c is located above the demolding station and can be raised and lowered relative to the demolding station in the third direction z. The second transport module 50a is used to transport the first demolding module 50b and the third demolding module 50d to the demolding station. The second demolding module 50c cooperates with the first demolding module 50b and the third demolding module 50d to perform demolding, demolding, and mold closing operations on the mold at the demolding station.
[0185] It should be noted that "above" here refers to the direction extending from the machine tool 110 to the first support frame 310. The second transport module 50a is located between the machine tool 110 and the second demolding module 50c. Therefore, the second demolding module 50c is located above the demolding station.
[0186] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the second transport module 50a includes an X-axis driver 510a and a transverse sliding seat 520a connected to the output end of the X-axis driver 510a. The X-axis driver 510a is used to control the transverse sliding seat 520a to slide along the first direction x. The first demolding module 50b and the third demolding module 50d are both fixed to the transverse sliding seat 520a, so that under the control of the X-axis driver 510a, the first demolding module 50b and the third demolding module 50d can move relative to the machine tool 110 along the first direction x with the transverse sliding seat 520a.
[0187] In some embodiments, the X-axis driver 510a is a linear motor.
[0188] In some embodiments, the X-axis driver 510a is a belt drive assembly. For example, the transverse slide 520a is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the first direction x, so that the transverse slide 520a can move along the first direction x with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the X-axis driver 510a is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the transverse slide 520a is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the first direction x, so that the transverse slide 520a can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the transverse slide 520a to move relative to the frame 10 along the first direction x is included in this application.
[0189] In some embodiments, the second transport module 50a includes a second transverse slide rail 530a and a second transverse slider 540a slidably connected to the second transverse slide rail 530a. The second transverse slide rail 530a is arranged on the machine base 110 of the frame 10 along a first direction x, and the transverse sliding seat 520a is fixed to the second transverse slider 540a, so that when the X-axis driver 510a controls the transverse sliding seat 520a to move, the first demolding module 50b and the second demolding module 50c can move smoothly relative to the machine base 110 along the second transverse slide rail 530a.
[0190] In some embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, the first demolding module 50b includes a first demolding table 510b, two clamping plates 520b respectively disposed on both sides of the first demolding table 510b and capable of moving closer or further apart along a first direction x, and a fourth drive module 530b for controlling the movement of the two clamping plates 520b. The first demolding table 510b is used to carry the mold moved to the second transport module 50a (from the second claw 442), that is, the second claw 442 of the mold loading module 40 clamps the mold at the mold loading station and transports it to the first demolding table 510b. The fourth drive module 530b is disposed on the side of the first demolding table 510b away from the mold. The two clamping plates 520b can cooperate with each other and quickly complete the clamping and releasing of the mold. Specifically, after the mold loading module 40 places the mold on the first demolding table 510b of the first demolding module 50b, the fourth drive module 530b controls the clamping plate 520b to clamp the male mold of the mold, and under the control of the second transport module 50a, the first demolding module 50b is transported to the demolding station.
[0191] In some embodiments, the fourth drive module 530b is a cylinder.
[0192] In some embodiments, such as Figure 19As shown, the first demolding module 50b includes a third transverse slide rail 540b and a third transverse slider 550b slidably connected to the third transverse slide rail 540b. The third transverse slide rail 540b is fixed to the bottom of the first demolding table 510b (the side of the first demolding table 510b away from the mold) along the first direction x. The clamping plate 520b is fixed to the third transverse slider 550b, so that under the control of the fourth drive module 530b, the clamping plate 520b can move smoothly along the third transverse slide rail 540b.
[0193] It is understandable that there are at least two third transverse sliders 550b, with one clamp 520b fixed to one third transverse slider 550b.
[0194] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the second demolding module 50c includes a third lifting component 510c and a third gripping component 520c. The third gripping component 520c is connected to the third lifting component 510c. The third lifting component 510c is vertically and vertically connected to the machine base 110 along the third direction z.
[0195] In some embodiments, such as Figure 21 As shown, the third lifting assembly 510c is located above the demolding station and fixed to the first support frame 310 of the plug removal module 30. The third lifting assembly 510c includes a first longitudinal beam 511c, a third Z-axis driver 512c, and a third lifting sliding seat 513c connected to the output end of the third Z-axis driver 512c. The first longitudinal beam 511c is fixed to the first support frame 310 along the second direction y, and the first longitudinal beam 511c is used to support the third Z-axis driver 512c and the third gripping assembly 520c. The third Z-axis driver 512c is used to control the third lifting sliding seat 513c to move relative to the first longitudinal beam 511c along the third direction z. The third gripping assembly 520c is fixed to the third lifting sliding seat 513c, so that under the control of the third Z-axis driver 512c, the third gripping assembly 520c can move relative to the first longitudinal beam 511c along the third direction z with the third lifting sliding seat 513c.
[0196] In some embodiments, the third Z-axis driver 512c is a linear motor.
[0197] In some embodiments, the third Z-axis driver 512c is a belt drive assembly. For example, the third lifting slide 513c is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the third direction z. Thus, during the rotation of the pulley, the third lifting slide 513c can move along the third direction z with the belt. Alternatively, the third Z-axis driver 512c is a screw drive assembly. For example, the third lifting slide 513c is threaded to a screw, and the length direction of the screw is parallel to the third direction z. Thus, when the screw rotates, the third lifting slide 513c can move along the screw. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the third lifting slide 513c to move relative to the first longitudinal beam 511c along the third direction z is included in this application.
[0198] In some embodiments, the first longitudinal beam 511c may be removed, and the third lifting assembly 510c may be directly installed on the first support frame 310.
[0199] In some embodiments, such as Figure 21 As shown, the third gripping assembly 520c includes a third base 521c, two third grippers 522c respectively disposed on both sides of the third base 521c and capable of moving relatively close or far apart along the first direction x, and a fifth drive module 523c for controlling the movement of the two third grippers 522c. The third base 521c is fixed to the third lifting sliding seat 513c, and the fifth drive module 523c is installed on the third base 521c. The two third grippers 522c can cooperate with each other to quickly grip the master mold for demolding in conjunction with the clamping plate 520b.
[0200] In some embodiments, the fifth drive module 523c is a cylinder.
[0201] In some embodiments, such as Figure 22 As shown, the third gripping assembly 520c includes a fourth transverse slide rail 524c fixed to the third base 521c and a fourth transverse slider 525c slidably connected to the fourth transverse slide rail 524c. The third claw 522c is fixed to the fourth transverse slider 525c, so that under the control of the fifth drive module 523c, the third claw 522c can move smoothly along the fourth transverse slide rail 524c.
[0202] It is understandable that there are two fourth horizontal sliders 525c, one of which is a third claw clamp 522c fixed to one of the fourth horizontal sliders 525c.
[0203] In some embodiments, the third gripping assembly 520c further includes a suction head 526c fixed to the third base 521c. The suction head 526c is connected to an air source device to generate negative pressure to suck up the product and prevent the product from falling when the third claw 522c grips the mold located on the first demolding table 510b and rises.
[0204] It should be noted that the female mold has a through hole, which is used to allow the suction head 526c to communicate with the inside of the mold.
[0205] In specific implementation, such as Figure 23 As shown, the mold to be demolded is placed on the first demolding table 510b. The fourth drive module 530b controls the clamping plate 520b to clamp the male mold. The third Z-axis driver 512c and the fifth drive module 523c control the third claw 522c to clamp the female mold located on the first demolding table 510b. At the same time, the suction head 526c generates negative pressure to suck up the product. After the third claw 522c clamps the female mold, the third Z-axis driver 512c controls the third claw 522c to rise, so as to separate the demolded product and the female mold from the male mold that are tightly attached together, and realize the demolding of the demolding station (separation of the female mold and the male mold).
[0206] It should be noted that after the demolding operation is completed, the product and the female mold are still tightly fitted together. After the demolding operation is completed, the tightly fitted product and the female mold are gripped by the third jaw 522c, while the male mold is located on the first demolding table 510b.
[0207] In some embodiments, such as Figure 24 As shown, the third demolding module 50d includes a second demolding table 510d, which is fixed to the transverse sliding seat 520a. The second demolding table 510d is used to carry the demolded master mold and product, that is, the second demolding table 510d is used to receive the master mold and product from the third jaw clamp 522c. Specifically, after the demolding operation is completed, the second transport module 50a controls the third demolding module 50d to be transported to the demolding station. After the second demolding table 510d is transported to the demolding station, the third Z-axis driver 512c and the fifth drive module 523c control the third jaw clamp 522c to descend and place the closely fitted master mold and product on the second demolding table 510d.
[0208] It should be noted that the demolding station mentioned here refers to the position where the second demolding table 510d is transported to the bottom of the second demolding module 50c, and the third gripping component 520c can grip the mold or product.
[0209] In some embodiments, such as Figure 25 As shown, the second demolding table 510d has one or more negative pressure suction heads 520d, which are connected to a pneumatic device to generate suction force to adsorb the product being demolded. Multiple negative pressure suction heads 520d can be provided, which can generate a more uniform suction force. This ensures that the product being demolded is adsorbed more tightly during extraction, preventing the problem of insufficient suction force preventing the product from being pulled away from the mold.
[0210] In some embodiments, such as Figure 25 and Figure 26As shown, the second demolding table 510d is provided with an air outlet gap H1 at the edge opposite to the demolded product inside the mold. The air outlet gap H1 is connected to the air pressure device to output gas to the area around the demolded product on the second demolding table 510d, thereby providing demolding force. By providing air outlet gaps H1 around the second demolding table 510d, and since the air outlet gaps H1 are connected to the air source device / air pressure device, gas can be output through the air outlet gaps H1 around the second demolding table 510d. The output gas forms an airflow knife, which, when acting around the demolded product and in the gap between the product and the mother mold, can better separate the demolded product from the mother mold. That is, in this embodiment, the demolding operation of the product is performed by the suction force of the negative pressure suction head 520d, the airflow knife formed by the air outlet gap H1, and the upward pulling force of the third claw 522c, respectively, which can better perform the product demolding operation.
[0211] In specific implementation, when the third jaw 522c carries the mold and product closer to the second demolding table 510d, and the product is at a preset distance from the second demolding table 510d (for example, 2mm from the second demolding table 510d along the third direction z), the air source device blows air around the product to be demolded through the air outlet H1 at a set angle. After blowing air for 1 second, the product to be demolded is then adsorbed by the negative pressure suction head 520d. At the same time, the third jaw 522c clamps the mold and pulls it upward. At this time, the air source device continuously blows air to the suction head 526c, causing the suction head 526c to generate positive pressure, thereby pulling the product to be demolded away from the mold and separating the product from the mold. See also... Figure 26 In one embodiment of this application, the angle α between the air outlet gap H1 and the first direction x is 80 degrees; the width b of the longitudinal section of the air outlet gap H1 is between 0.10 mm and 0.13 mm. This creates a relatively sharp air knife to assist in demolding.
[0212] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27 As shown, the second demolding table 510d includes a demolding table shell 511d and a suction plate 512d. The demolding table shell 511d is provided with an air inlet connector 513d and a first negative pressure connector 514d. The air outlet gap H1 is connected to the air pressure device through the air inlet connector 513d. The negative pressure suction head 520d is connected to the air pressure device through the first negative pressure connector 514d. The suction plate 512d is installed inside the demolding table shell 511d, and an air outlet gap H1 is formed between the suction plate 512d and the demolding table shell 511d.
[0213] In some embodiments, such as Figure 25As shown, the demolding table housing 511d and the suction plate 512d are fixedly connected. An air storage space H2 is formed between the demolding table housing 511d and the suction plate 512d, and the air storage space H2 is interconnected with the air outlet gap H1. Multiple air inlet connectors 513d can be provided around the perimeter of the demolding table housing 511d, and each air inlet connector 513d is interconnected with the air storage space H2. This allows gas introduced from the air inlet connectors 513d to be output externally through the air outlet gap H1. The width of the longitudinal section of the air storage space H2 is greater than the width of the longitudinal section of the air outlet gap H1. The significantly larger width of the longitudinal section of the air storage space H2 compared to the air outlet gap H1 ensures the stability of the air output from the air outlet gap H1.
[0214] See Figure 25 and Figure 27 The suction plate 512d has one or more suction plate grooves 5121d, and a negative pressure suction head 520d is installed in one suction plate groove 5121d; each suction plate groove 5121d is also provided with a negative pressure hole 5122d, and a sealing joint 530d is also provided at the negative pressure hole 5122d. The negative pressure hole 5122d is connected to the negative pressure through hole of the negative pressure suction head 520d through the sealing joint 530d; the sealing joint 530d is used to seal the gap between the suction plate 512d and the negative pressure suction head 520d.
[0215] like Figure 25 and Figure 27 As shown, one or more first negative pressure connectors 514d can be provided on the demolding table housing 511d, and the first negative pressure connectors 514d can communicate with each negative pressure hole 5122d. In this way, each negative pressure hole 5122d can generate negative pressure, and the negative pressure can be applied to the product to be demolded through the negative pressure suction head 520d to adsorb the product to be demolded. Since each negative pressure suction head 520d is installed in a suction plate groove 5121d, in order to seal the gap between the suction plate 512d and the negative pressure suction head 520d, a sealing joint 530d is provided between the suction plate groove 5121d and the negative pressure suction head 520d. The negative pressure hole 5122d is connected to the first negative pressure through hole on the sealing joint 530d and the second negative pressure through hole on the negative pressure suction head 520d.
[0216] In specific implementation, such as Figure 28As shown, after the third demolding module 50d is transported to the demolding station, the third Z-axis driver 512c and the fifth drive module 523c control the third claw 522c to descend and place the tightly fitted female mold and product on the second demolding table 510d. Subsequently, the pneumatic device outputs gas through the air inlet connector 513d to the air outlet gap H1 to form an air knife. The pneumatic device outputs gas through the first negative pressure connector 514d to the negative pressure suction head 520d to generate negative pressure to adsorb the product. At the same time, the third claw 522c clamps the female mold and pulls it upward, thereby pulling the demolded product away from the female mold and separating the demolded product from the female mold, realizing the demolding at the demolding station. After the demolding process is completed, the second transport module 50a controls the third demolding module 50d to transport the demolded product to the product unloading station. The product unloading module 70 picks up the product from the second demolding table 510d and transports it to the product conveyor 80b. After the product is picked up by the product unloading module 70, the second transport module 50a controls the first demolding module 50b to transport it to the demolding station. At the same time, the third Z-axis driver 512c and the fifth drive module 523c control the third jaw 522c to descend, placing the female mold on the first demolding table 510b to close with the male mold, thus achieving mold closing at the demolding station. After the mold closing operation is completed, the third Z-axis driver 512c controls the third jaw 522c to rise, and at the same time, the second transport module 50a controls the first demolding module 50b to transport the empty mold after mold closing to the mold unloading station.
[0217] It should be noted that after the demolding operation is completed, the product is located on the second demolding table 510d, and the female mold is gripped by the third jaw 522c.
[0218] In some embodiments, the demolding equipment 100 includes three sets of demolding devices 50. The three sets of demolding devices 50 are arranged side by side on the machine base 110 along the second direction y. The three sets of demolding devices 50 can simultaneously demold, demold, and close three molds to form a multi-station fully automatic demolding equipment, which further improves the demolding efficiency.
[0219] In some embodiments, such as Figure 29 As shown, the mold unloading module 60 is mounted on the frame 10 along the second direction y. The mold unloading module 60 includes a second longitudinal beam 610, a third longitudinal movement assembly 620, a fourth lifting assembly 630, and a fourth gripping assembly 640. The second longitudinal beam 610 is mounted on the frame 10 along the second direction y and supports the third longitudinal movement assembly 620, the fourth lifting assembly 630, and the fourth gripping assembly 640. The third longitudinal movement assembly 620 is slidably connected to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the second direction y and can move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the second direction y. The fourth lifting assembly 630 is slidably connected to the third longitudinal movement assembly 620 along the third direction z and can move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the third direction z. The fourth gripping assembly 640 is connected to the fourth lifting assembly 630.
[0220] In some embodiments, the second longitudinal beam 610 is arranged parallel to the first longitudinal beam 511c.
[0221] In some embodiments, such as Figure 30 As shown, the third longitudinal movement component 620 includes a third Y-axis driver 621 fixed to the second longitudinal beam 610 and a third longitudinal sliding seat 622 connected to the output end of the third Y-axis driver 621. The third Y-axis driver 621 is used to control the third longitudinal sliding seat 622 to slide along the second direction y. The fourth lifting component 630 is fixed to the third longitudinal sliding seat 622, so that under the control of the third Y-axis driver 621, the fourth lifting component 630 and the fourth gripping component 640 can move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the second direction y with the third longitudinal sliding seat 622.
[0222] In some embodiments, the third Y-axis driver 621 is a linear motor.
[0223] In some embodiments, the third Y-axis driver 621 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the third longitudinal slide 622 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the second direction y, so that the third longitudinal slide 622 can move along the second direction y with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the third Y-axis driver 621 is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the third longitudinal slide 622 is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the second direction y, so that the third longitudinal slide 622 can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the third longitudinal slide 622 to move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the second direction y is included in this application.
[0224] In some embodiments, the third longitudinal movement component 620 includes a third longitudinal slide rail 623 and a third longitudinal slider 624 slidably connected to the third longitudinal slide rail 623. The third longitudinal slide rail 623 is arranged on the second longitudinal beam 610 along the second direction y. The third longitudinal sliding seat 622 is fixed to the third longitudinal slider 624, so that when the third Y-axis driver 621 drives the third longitudinal sliding seat 622 to move, the fourth lifting component 630 and the fourth gripping component 640 can move smoothly relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the third longitudinal slide rail 623.
[0225] In some embodiments, such as Figure 31 and Figure 32As shown, the fourth lifting assembly 630 includes a third mounting base 631, a fourth Z-axis driver 632 fixed on the third mounting base 631, and a fourth lifting sliding seat 633 connected to the output end of the fourth Z-axis driver 632. The third mounting base 631 is fixed to the third longitudinal sliding seat 622. The fourth Z-axis driver 632 is used to control the fourth lifting sliding seat 633 to move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the third direction z. The fourth gripping assembly 640 is fixed to the fourth lifting sliding seat 633, so that under the control of the fourth Z-axis driver 632, the fourth gripping assembly 640 can move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the third direction z with the fourth lifting sliding seat 633.
[0226] In some embodiments, the fourth Z-axis driver 632 is a linear motor.
[0227] In some embodiments, the fourth Z-axis driver 632 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the fourth lifting slide 633 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the third direction z, so that the fourth lifting slide 633 can move along the third direction z with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the fourth Z-axis driver 632 is a screw drive assembly. For example, the fourth lifting slide 633 is threaded to a screw, and the length direction of the screw is parallel to the third direction z, so that the fourth lifting slide 633 can move along the screw when the screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the fourth lifting slide 633 to move relative to the second longitudinal beam 610 along the third direction z is included in this application.
[0228] In some embodiments, the fourth lifting assembly 630 further includes a fourth lifting slide rail 634 and a fourth lifting slider 635. The fourth lifting slide rail 634 is arranged on the third mounting base 631 along the third direction z. The fourth lifting slider 635 is slidably connected to the fourth lifting slide rail 634. The fourth gripping assembly 640 is fixed to the fourth lifting slide base 633 and the fourth lifting slider 635, so that when the fourth Z-axis driver 632 drives the fourth lifting slide base 633 to move, the fourth gripping assembly 640 can move smoothly along the fourth lifting slide rail 634 relative to the second longitudinal beam 610.
[0229] In some embodiments, such as Figure 33 As shown, the fourth gripping assembly 640 includes a fourth base 641, two fourth grippers 642 respectively located on both sides of the fourth base 641 and capable of moving closer or further apart, and a sixth drive module 643 (gripper cylinder) for controlling the movement of the two fourth grippers 642. The fourth base 641 is fixed to the fourth lifting sliding seat 633 and the fourth lifting slider 635, and the sixth drive module 643 is fixed to the fourth base 641. The two fourth grippers 642 can cooperate with each other to quickly grip the mold.
[0230] In some embodiments, the sixth drive module 643 is a cylinder.
[0231] In some embodiments, the fourth gripping assembly 640 further includes a fifth transverse slide rail 644 fixed to the fourth base 641 and a fifth transverse slider 645 slidably connected to the fifth transverse slide rail 644. The fourth claw 642 is fixed to the fifth transverse slider 645, so that the fourth claw 642 can move smoothly under the control of the sixth drive module 643.
[0232] It is understandable that there are two fifth transverse slide rails 644, one fourth claw clamp 642 is fixed to one fifth transverse slider 645.
[0233] In practice, after the first demolding module 50b is transported to the mold unloading station, the third Y-axis driver 621 controls the fourth jaw 642 to be transported to the top of the mold unloading station. Then, the fourth Z-axis driver 632 and the sixth drive module 643 control the fourth jaw 642 to descend and clamp the empty mold located on the first demolding table 510b. After the fourth jaw 642 clamps the empty mold, the third Y-axis driver 621 and the fourth Z-axis driver 632 control the fourth jaw 642 to transport the empty mold to the unloading conveyor 80a.
[0234] It should be noted that when the fourth jaw 642 moves to the top of the mold unloading station, it means that the fourth jaw 642 can grasp the mold located on the mold unloading station by lifting and lowering.
[0235] In some embodiments, such as Figure 34 As shown, the product unloading module 70 is mounted on the frame 10 along the second direction y. The product unloading module 70 includes a third longitudinal beam 710, a fourth longitudinal movement component 720, a fifth lifting component 730, and a fifth gripping component 740. The third longitudinal beam 710 is mounted on the frame 10 along the second direction y and supports the fourth longitudinal movement component 720, the fifth lifting component 730, and the fifth gripping component 740. The fourth longitudinal movement component 720 is slidably connected to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the second direction y and can move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the second direction y. The fifth lifting component 730 is slidably connected to the fourth longitudinal movement component 720 along the third direction z and can move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the third direction z. The fifth gripping component 740 is connected to the fifth lifting component 730.
[0236] In some embodiments, the third longitudinal beam 710 is arranged parallel to the first longitudinal beam 511c.
[0237] In some embodiments, the fourth longitudinal movement component 720 includes a fourth Y-axis driver 721 fixed to the third longitudinal beam 710 and a fourth longitudinal sliding seat 722 connected to the output end of the fourth Y-axis driver 721. The fourth Y-axis driver 721 is used to control the fourth longitudinal sliding seat 722 to slide along the second direction y. The fifth lifting component 730 is fixed to the fourth longitudinal sliding seat 722, so that under the control of the fourth Y-axis driver 721, the fifth lifting component 730 and the fifth gripping component 740 can move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the second direction y with the fourth longitudinal sliding seat 722.
[0238] In some embodiments, the fourth Y-axis driver 721 is a linear motor.
[0239] In some embodiments, the fourth Y-axis driver 721 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the fourth longitudinal slide seat 722 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the second direction y, so that the fourth longitudinal slide seat 722 can move along the second direction y with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the fourth Y-axis driver 721 is a lead screw drive assembly. For example, the fourth longitudinal slide seat 722 is threaded to a lead screw, and the length direction of the lead screw is parallel to the second direction y, so that the fourth longitudinal slide seat 722 can move along the lead screw when the lead screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the fourth longitudinal slide seat 722 to move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the second direction y is included in this application.
[0240] In some embodiments, the fifth lifting assembly 730 includes a fourth mounting base 731, a fifth Z-axis driver 732 fixed on the fourth mounting base 731, and a fifth lifting sliding seat 733 connected to the output end of the fifth Z-axis driver 732. The fourth mounting base 731 is fixed to the fourth longitudinal sliding seat 722. The fifth Z-axis driver 732 is used to control the fifth lifting sliding seat 733 to move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the third direction z. The fifth gripping assembly 740 is fixed to the fifth lifting sliding seat 733, so that under the control of the fifth Z-axis driver 732, the fifth gripping assembly 740 can move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the third direction z with the fifth lifting sliding seat 733.
[0241] In some embodiments, the fifth Z-axis driver 732 is a cylinder or a linear motor.
[0242] In some embodiments, the fifth Z-axis driver 732 is a belt drive assembly. For example, the fifth lifting slide 733 is fixed to the belt of the belt drive assembly, and the belt transport direction is parallel to the third direction z, so that the fifth lifting slide 733 can move along the third direction z with the belt during the rotation of the pulley. Alternatively, the fifth Z-axis driver 732 is a screw drive assembly. For example, the fifth lifting slide 733 is threaded to a screw, and the length direction of the screw is parallel to the third direction z, so that the fifth lifting slide 733 can move along the screw when the screw rotates. It is understood that any driver capable of driving the fifth lifting slide 733 to move relative to the third longitudinal beam 710 along the third direction z is included in this application.
[0243] In some embodiments, the fifth gripping assembly 740 includes a fifth base 741 and a suction nozzle 742 disposed on the fifth base. The fifth base 741 is fixed to the fifth lifting sliding seat 733, and the suction nozzle 742 is connected to a pneumatic device for adsorbing products located at the product unloading station.
[0244] It should be noted that the suction nozzle 742 is located at one end of the fifth base 741 near the second demolding table 510d.
[0245] In some embodiments, the fifth base 741 is provided with a second negative pressure connector 743, and the suction nozzle 742 is connected to the air pressure device through the second negative pressure connector 743, thereby generating negative pressure to act on the product and adsorb the product.
[0246] In practice, after the second transport module 50a transports the third demolding module 50d to the product unloading station, the fourth Y-axis driver 721 controls the fifth gripping component 740 to be transported directly above the product unloading station. Then, the fifth Z-axis driver 732 controls the suction nozzle 742 to descend and adsorb the product located on the second demolding table 510d. After the suction nozzle 742 adsorbs the product, the fourth Y-axis driver 721 and the fifth Z-axis driver 732 control the suction nozzle 742 to transport the product to the product conveyor 80b.
[0247] It should be noted that when we say that the suction nozzle 742 is transported to the top of the product unloading station, we mean that the suction nozzle 742 can lift and adsorb the product located at the product unloading station.
[0248] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the unloading conveyor 80a is located on the machine base 110 and is used to receive empty molds from the mold unloading module 60.
[0249] In some embodiments, along the second direction y, the unloading conveyor 80a is located directly below the start or end point of the transport path of the fourth gripping assembly 640.
[0250] It should be noted that, as mentioned here, "directly below the starting point of the transport path of the fourth gripping component 640" means that when the fourth gripping component 640 descends along the third direction z, the empty mold gripped by the fourth claw 642 is placed at the position of the unloading conveyor 80a. The "directly below the ending point of the transport path of the fourth gripping component 640" is the same as "directly below the starting point."
[0251] In some embodiments, the product conveyor 80b is mounted on the machine base 110 and is used to receive products from the product unloading module 70.
[0252] In some embodiments, along the second direction y, the product transporter 80b is located directly below the start or end point of the transport path of the fifth gripping component 740.
[0253] It should be noted that, as mentioned here, "directly below the starting point of the fifth gripping component 740's transport path" means that when the fifth gripping component 740 descends along a third direction z, the product adsorbed by the suction nozzle 742 is placed at the position of the product conveyor 80b. The "directly below the ending point of the fifth gripping component 740's transport path" is the same as "directly below the starting point."
[0254] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the demolding device 100 includes a plugging NG material container 90a, which is fixed to the machine base 110 and is used to temporarily store the plugging NG mold. Along the second direction y, the second transport module 50a is located between the first transport module 20 and the plugging NG material container 90a. Further, along the second direction y, the plugging NG material container 90a is located between the start and end points of the transport path of the first gripping assembly 340.
