Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of bearing miniature spacer cages, and particularly relates to a method and apparatus for producing miniature spacer blocks by dividing the cavity. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most miniature spacer cages used in bearings are made of engineering plastics. Engineering plastics possess numerous excellent properties, making them ideal materials for manufacturing miniature spacer cages. In terms of manufacturing processes, injection molding is widely used due to its high efficiency, precision, and ability to support large-scale production. The basic principle of injection molding is to heat the engineering plastic material to a molten state, then inject it into a mold cavity under high pressure. After cooling and solidification, the desired shape and size of the miniature spacer cage product is obtained. In actual production, to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, multi-cavity molds are typically used for injection molding of miniature spacer cages. For example, a mold may have 20 cavities, producing 20 miniature spacer cage products simultaneously in one injection cycle. However, due to limitations in mold manufacturing precision and slight differences in material properties, there are certain differences between the miniature spacer cage products produced in different cavities and the standard dimensions, and there are also differences in the product dimensions between different cavities.

[0003] In bearing assembly, multiple miniature spacer blocks are typically installed within a single bearing. These spacer blocks must be matched to each other and cannot be arbitrarily combined. If the assembled spacer blocks are all too large (a little larger than the standard size), the gaps between them will be too small after bearing assembly. This will increase the friction between the spacer blocks and the rolling elements during bearing operation, generating excessive heat and affecting the normal operation of the machinery. Conversely, if the assembled spacer blocks are all too small (a little smaller than the standard size), the gaps between them will be too large. This will cause significant runout and vibration of the rolling elements during operation, leading to unstable bearing operation. Currently, in the production process of miniature spacer block cages, products from each cavity are typically collected and placed in a collection box. While this collection method is simple and convenient, it cannot effectively distinguish products from different cavities. Due to the differences in product dimensions between different cavities, it is difficult to rationally match and assemble them according to size requirements after collection, failing to meet the strict requirements for spacer block size matching in bearing assembly. This not only affects the assembly quality and production efficiency of the bearing but may also lead to the waste of some products due to unmet assembly requirements, increasing production costs. This shows that existing technologies need further improvement and enhancement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a micro-isolation block cavity production device and method, which solves the problem that after the micro-isolation blocks are collected in a centralized manner, it is difficult to reasonably match and assemble them according to size requirements. This cannot meet the strict requirements of bearing assembly for the size matching of isolation blocks, which not only affects the bearing assembly quality and production efficiency, but also causes some products to be wasted because they cannot meet the assembly requirements, thus increasing production costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A micro-isolation block cavity production device includes a collection air pipe mechanism, which is equipped with multiple collection air pipes in the same number as the number of cavities in the injection mold. One end of each collection air pipe is the opening end corresponding to each cavity of the injection mold to receive the micro-isolation block molded product, and the other end is connected to a collection terminal for collecting the products separately.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting limit plate and a lifting power component. The lifting limit plate has pipe holes adapted to the number of air collection pipes. The lifting limit plate is connected to the lifting power component. The air collection pipes pass through the pipe holes of the lifting limit plate. After the rear mold and the front mold of the injection molding machine are separated, the lifting mechanism can drive the air collection pipes to descend so that the opening end corresponds to the cavity. After collection is completed, it drives the air collection pipes to rise and reset.

[0008] The suction mechanism is configured to be connected to the collection terminal. When the ejection mechanism ejects the micro-isolation block molded product to the opening end of the collection pipe, it generates a suction force to draw the product along the collection pipe to the collection terminal.

[0009] By employing the micro-isolator block cavity production device of this application, the coordination of the lifting mechanism and the suction mechanism automates the collection process. After the rear mold of the injection molding machine separates from the front mold, the lifting mechanism drives the collecting air pipe to descend, ensuring the opening end accurately aligns with the cavity. By configuring multiple collecting air pipes with the same number of cavities as the injection mold, each collecting air pipe corresponds to one cavity, achieving precise differentiation and independent collection of micro-isolators produced from different cavities. When the ejection mechanism ejects the molded micro-isolator block to the opening end of the collecting air pipe, the suction mechanism generates suction force, automatically drawing the product along the collecting air pipe to the collection terminal. After collection, the lifting mechanism drives the collecting air pipe to rise and reset, preparing for the next injection molding and collection, effectively adapting to the requirements of continuous production. This efficient collection method makes the production process smoother, reduces production interruption time, improves equipment utilization and production efficiency, and helps enterprises achieve large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0010] In a preferred implementation, the collecting tube is divided into a flexible tube on one side and a rigid tube on the other side by a lifting limiting plate, with the open end located in the rigid tube.

[0011] In a preferred implementation, the rigid tube includes a transition section and a detection section. The transition section has a cavity adapted to the shape of the micro-isolation block for accommodating the micro-isolation block ejected by the mold ejection mechanism. The detection section has a larger diameter than the transition section and is equipped with a visual inspection device. The visual inspection device is used to take pictures of the micro-isolation block inside the cavity of the transition section and upload the captured images to a terminal for comparison and measurement to obtain the size of the micro-isolation block.

[0012] Once the mold ejection mechanism pushes the micro-isolator block into the transition section cavity and reaches the designed position, the vision inspection unit begins operation. A camera takes pictures of the micro-isolator block within the transition section, acquiring its image. This image is then sent to the terminal. Upon receiving the image, the image processing module uses image recognition and measurement algorithms to extract features and measure the dimensions of the micro-isolator block. For example, by identifying the edge contour of the isolator block, its diameter, length, and other key dimensional parameters are calculated. Then, the measured dimensional data is compared with the standard dimensions pre-stored in the terminal to determine whether the micro-isolator block is qualified. This system enables high-speed, continuous inspection of micro-isolators, allowing for both photographing and dimensional measurement within a short time. During production, each micro-isolator block entering the collection tube can be inspected in real time, significantly improving inspection efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism further includes a fixed limiting plate, which is located in the middle of the collecting air tube and is used to support and limit the collecting air tube.

[0014] In a preferred implementation, the collection terminal is a collection bottle, the body of which has a connection port, and one end of the collection tube is detachably connected to the connection port.

[0015] In a preferred implementation, the mouths of multiple collection bottles are detachably connected to a suction pipe, which is connected to a suction power component.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the suction pipe has a bottle mouth sleeve, which is hollow inside and connected to the internal space of the suction pipe. The bottle mouth sleeve has an internal thread, and the bottle mouth of the collection bottle has an external thread, and the two are threadedly connected.

[0017] In a preferred implementation, a weighing sensor is installed at the bottom of the collection bottle; the weighing sensor is connected to a terminal for real-time measurement of the weight of the micro-isolation blocks inside the collection bottle and uploads the measured weight data to the terminal; the terminal has pre-stored standard weight range data for the micro-isolation blocks, and after receiving the weight data, the terminal compares it with the standard weight range data and determines whether there is a problem of insufficient filling in the production of the micro-isolation blocks based on the comparison result.

[0018] In the preferred implementation, the air extraction power component is an air pump.

[0019] The method of using the micro-isolation block cavity production device includes the following steps:

[0020] S1: Injection mold closing operation, hot melt material is injected into the cavity of the injection mold, and the hot melt material is controlled to cool and form in the cavity to obtain a micro-isolation block molded product;

[0021] S2: The front and rear molds of the injection molding are separated under the drive of the opening and closing system. Then the lifting mechanism drives the air collection pipes to fall, so that the opening end of each air collection pipe accurately corresponds to each cavity of the mold.

[0022] S3: The mold ejection mechanism smoothly ejects the micro-isolation block molded product from the cavity into the transition section of the hard tube section of the air collection tube. After the ejection action is completed, the visual inspection component takes a picture of the product in the transition section and uploads the picture to the terminal for comparison to obtain the size parameters.

[0023] S4: After the visual inspection piece is photographed, the vacuum pump starts and generates a stable suction force to extract the micro-isolation block molded product from the inspection section of the hard tube section to the soft tube section and finally into the collection bottle.

[0024] S5: After the micro-isolation block molded product falls into the collection bottle, the evacuation ends. The weighing sensor records the mass of each micro-isolation block molded product falling into the collection terminal in real time and accurately, and transmits the mass data to the terminal for storage and analysis in real time.

[0025] S6: After a sufficient number of miniature isolation block molded products have been collected in the collection terminal, the fully loaded collection bottle is removed and an empty collection bottle is installed at the same time, thus completing a complete collection process.

[0035] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0036] The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] The specific solution adopted is as follows:

[0038] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a micro-isolation block cavity production device, including a collection air pipe 10 mechanism, which is configured with multiple collection air pipes 10 in the same number as the number of cavities of the injection mold. One end of each collection air pipe 10 is an opening end corresponding to each cavity of the injection mold to receive the micro-isolation block 5 molded product, and the other end is connected to a collection terminal for collecting the products separately.

[0039] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting limit plate 20 and a lifting power component 21. The lifting limit plate 20 has pipe holes 200 adapted to the number of collecting air pipes 10. The lifting limit plate 20 is connected to the lifting power component 21. The collecting air pipes 10 pass through the pipe holes 200 of the lifting limit plate 20. After the rear mold 40 of the injection molding machine is separated from the front mold, the lifting mechanism can drive the collecting air pipes 10 to descend so that the open end corresponds to the cavity. After the collection is completed, it can drive the collecting air pipes 10 to rise and reset.

[0040] The suction mechanism is configured to be connected to the collection terminal. When the ejection mechanism 400 ejects the molded product of the micro isolation block 5 to the opening end of the collection pipe 10, it generates a suction force to draw the product along the collection pipe 10 to the collection terminal.

[0041] By employing the micro-isolation block 5 cavity production device of this application, the coordination of the lifting mechanism and the suction mechanism automates the collection process. After the rear mold 40 of the injection molding machine separates from the front mold, the lifting mechanism can drive the collecting air pipe 10 to descend so that the opening end accurately aligns with the cavity. By configuring multiple collecting air pipes 10 with the same number of cavities as the injection mold, each collecting air pipe 10 corresponds to one cavity, achieving precise differentiation and independent collection of micro-isolation blocks 5 produced in different cavities. When the ejection mechanism 400 ejects the molded micro-isolation block 5 to the opening end of the collecting air pipe 10, the suction mechanism generates suction force, automatically extracting the product along the collecting air pipe 10 to the collection terminal. After collection is completed, the lifting mechanism drives the collecting air pipe 10 to rise and reset, preparing for the next injection molding and collection, which can well adapt to the requirements of continuous production. This efficient collection method makes the production process smoother, reduces production interruption time, improves equipment utilization and production efficiency, and helps enterprises achieve large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0042] The entire collection process requires no manual intervention, which greatly improves collection efficiency, reduces errors and labor intensity caused by manual operation, and lowers production costs.

[0043] This cavity-separation method allows for clear traceability of the specific production source of each product during subsequent production, facilitating monitoring and management of the production process. For example, when a quality problem is found in a batch of products, the problematic cavity can be quickly located, allowing for analysis of factors such as parameter settings and mold status during the production process. This enables timely and targeted improvement measures, enhancing the stability and controllability of production quality. Furthermore, due to limitations in mold manufacturing precision and slight differences in material properties, there are certain differences between the micro-isolation blocks 5 produced from different cavities and the standard dimensions, as well as between products from different cavities. This cavity-separation collection method avoids mixing products from different cavities, ensuring that the product dimensions in each collection terminal are relatively consistent. In the subsequent assembly stage, products of suitable sizes can be selected from different collection terminals for assembly based on the stringent requirements for isolator block size matching in bearing assembly. This ensures the assembly quality of the bearing, reduces problems such as unstable bearing operation, increased friction, and excessive heat generation caused by size mismatch, and improves the bearing's performance and lifespan.

[0044] In the preferred implementation, the collecting air pipe 10 is divided by the lifting limiting plate 20, with a flexible hose 100 on one side and a rigid pipe 101 on the other, with the open end located on the rigid pipe 101. The flexible hose 100 has good flexibility and bendability. During the process of the lifting mechanism driving the collecting air pipe 10 to rise and fall, the flexible hose 100 can freely extend, contract, and bend with the movement of the lifting limiting plate 20, without hindering the movement of the lifting mechanism. This allows the lifting mechanism to complete the lifting and lowering action of the collecting air pipe 10 more smoothly, ensuring the coordination between the entire collecting device and the mold opening and closing action of the injection molding machine, and improving the continuity and stability of production. For example, when the lifting mechanism drives the collecting air pipe 10 to descend so that the open end corresponds to the cavity, the flexible hose 100 can hang down naturally without affecting the accuracy and speed of descent due to its own rigidity; when the collecting is completed and the lifting mechanism drives the collecting air pipe 10 to rise and reset, the flexible hose 100 can easily return to its original shape without jamming or damage. The rigid tube 101 has high rigidity and stability. Placing the open end on the rigid tube 101 ensures that the open end maintains accurate position and shape during the mold opening and closing of the injection molding machine and the ejection mechanism 400 ejecting the product. When the ejection mechanism 400 ejects the molded product of the micro-isolation block 5 to the collecting air tube 10, the rigidity of the rigid tube 101 ensures that the open end will not deform or displace due to the ejection force, thereby accurately receiving the product and improving the success rate and accuracy of collection.

[0045] The flexible tube 100 and the rigid tube 101 can be combined using various existing connection methods, such as compression fitting and heat fusion connection, which will not be elaborated here.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of this application, see [link to application]. Figure 5 The rigid tube 101 includes a transition section 1010 and a detection section 1011. The transition section 1010 has a cavity adapted to the shape of the micro-isolation block 5 for accommodating the micro-isolation block 5 ejected by the mold ejection mechanism 400. The detection section 1011 has a larger diameter than the transition section 1010 and is provided with a visual inspection element 10110. The visual inspection element 10110 is used to take pictures of the micro-isolation block 5 inside the cavity of the transition section 1010 and upload the captured images to the terminal for comparison and measurement to obtain the size of the micro-isolation block 5.

[0047] In the micro-spacer block 5 production line, extremely high dimensional accuracy is required for the micro-spacer blocks 5. Therefore, it is necessary to know the difference between the micro-spacer block 5 products and the standard in the production process. Conventionally, sampling is performed after collection, but this method is inefficient. Due to the small size and large quantity of micro-spacer blocks 5, manual measurement is cumbersome, and sampling only randomly selects a portion of the produced products for inspection, which cannot cover all products. Micro-spacer blocks 5 produced within a certain time period may have general dimensional deviations due to factors such as mold wear and raw material fluctuations, but these problematic products may not be sampled during sampling, allowing them to flow into the next process and affecting product quality stability.

[0048] In this embodiment, by designing the rigid tube 101 as a transition section 1010 and a detection section 1011, and equipping it with a visual inspection component 10110, the size of the micro-isolation block 5 is automatically detected during the collection process. This enables timely detection of products with unqualified dimensions, preventing them from entering subsequent production stages, thereby improving overall production quality and efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, the cavity of the transition section 1010 is carefully designed, its shape matching the shape of the micro-isolation block 5, but slightly larger. This design has two main purposes: First, it ensures that when the ejector rod of the mold ejection mechanism 400 pushes the micro-isolation block 5 into the collecting air pipe 10, it can smoothly and accurately enter the cavity of the transition section 1010, reducing problems such as jamming and collision during the ejection process, lowering the risk of damage to the micro-isolation block 5, and ensuring the integrity of the product. Second, it ensures that the micro-isolation block 5 is in a relatively stable position and posture within the cavity of the transition section 1010, such as remaining upright in the cavity, providing favorable conditions for accurate image capture by the subsequent visual inspection component 10110. For example, if the micro-isolation block 5 is cylindrical, the cavity of the transition section 1010 can be designed to be cylindrical with a diameter similar to its size, allowing the isolation block to fit tightly against the inner wall of the cavity and preventing shaking.

[0050] The transition section 1010, as the first channel for the micro-isolation block 5 to enter the collecting air pipe 10 after being ejected from the mold, plays a crucial role in accommodating and guiding the micro-isolation block 5. Its length and diameter design must consider factors such as the stroke and dimensions of the ejector rod of the ejection mechanism 400. A reasonable length design ensures that the ejector rod of the ejection mechanism 400 has sufficient space to fully eject the isolation block into the transition section 1010 and to the designed position each time, i.e., see [reference needed]. Figure 5 The junction of the intermediate transition section 1010 and the detection section 1011 is designed to facilitate the visual inspection component 10110 to take pictures. If the micro-isolation block 5 is too far away from the detection section 1011, it is not easy to capture the full view of the micro-isolation block 5. Therefore, the shooting position is a key design, which can ensure that the conditions for each shooting are roughly the same, which is convenient for subsequent comparison.

[0051] The diameter of the detection section 1011 is larger than that of the transition section 1010, providing the necessary space for the installation and normal operation of the vision inspection component 10110. The larger diameter ensures sufficient space within the detection section 1011 for installing the lens of the vision inspection component 10110, while also maintaining a suitable shooting distance between the lens and the micro-isolation block 5 to obtain clear and accurate images. The vision inspection component 10110 is one of the core components of this embodiment. It is installed on the detection section 1011 and can photograph the micro-isolation block 5 within the cavity of the transition section 1010. In the industrial field, visual recognition technology has been widely used due to its high efficiency and accuracy. The visual inspection technology in this application is based on a mature existing design concept: a high-resolution camera is used to photograph the micro-isolation block 5 to obtain a clear image. The captured image is then precisely compared and analyzed with a pre-set standard-sized image to determine whether the product size meets the requirements. Further details regarding the specific implementation process of this part will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Working Principle: After the mold ejection mechanism 400 pushes the micro-isolation block 5 into the cavity of the transition section 1010 and it reaches the designed position, the vision inspection component 10110 begins to operate. The camera takes pictures of the micro-isolation block 5 within the transition section 1010, acquiring its image. This image is then sent to the terminal. After receiving the image, the image processing module uses image recognition and measurement algorithms to extract features and measure the dimensions of the micro-isolation block 5 in the image. For example, by recognizing the edge contour of the isolation block, its key dimensional parameters such as diameter and length are calculated. Then, the measured dimensional data is compared with the standard dimensions pre-stored in the terminal to determine whether the micro-isolation block 5 is qualified.

[0053] The system can photograph and measure the dimensions of the micro-isolation blocks 5 in a short time, enabling high-speed and continuous inspection. During production, each micro-isolation block 5 entering the collection tube 10 can be inspected in real time, greatly improving inspection efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale production. The visual inspection component 10110 can upload the captured images and measured data to the terminal for recording and storage. Through long-term accumulation and analysis of this data, the dimensional change trend of the micro-isolation blocks 5 during production can be understood, potential production problems can be identified in a timely manner, and a strong basis can be provided for the optimization and improvement of the production process.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the lifting mechanism further includes a fixed limiting plate 22, which is located in the middle of the collecting air pipe 10 and is used to support and limit the collecting air pipe 10. The middle of the collecting air pipe 10 is located in the relatively central area of ​​the entire system. The fixed limiting plate 22 provides stable and balanced support for the collecting air pipe 10, ensuring that it does not sag excessively under gravity during the operation of the lifting mechanism, thereby guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the entire collecting system. The fixed limiting plate 22 also has pipe holes 200 adapted to the number of collecting air pipes 10. The size and shape of these pipe holes 200 perfectly match the outer diameter of the collecting air pipes 10, allowing the collecting air pipes 10 to pass tightly through the pipe holes 200, achieving a secure connection. The design of the pipe holes 200 not only supports the collecting air pipes 10 but also effectively limits their movement, preventing horizontal displacement and further enhancing the stability of the system. Because the fixed limiting plate 22 prevents the hose 100 from drooping, the lifting mechanism only needs to lift the half of the hose 100 closest to the opening end during operation. Lifting a smaller length of hose 100 means that the lifting mechanism needs to overcome less gravity, thereby reducing the energy consumption required during the lifting process, enabling the lifting action to be completed faster, and increasing the lifting speed. For equipment that operates for a long time, this can significantly save energy and reduce operating costs.

[0055] See Figure 3 The collection terminal is a collection bottle 30. The body of the collection bottle 30 is provided with a connection port. One end of the collection air pipe 10 is detachably connected to the connection port. It is important to ensure the seal between the collection air pipe 10 and the connection port. For example, an interference fit can be used, or a sealing ring can be set. In addition, the mouths of multiple collection bottles 30 can be detachably connected to a suction pipe 31. The suction pipe 31 is connected to a suction power component, which is a suction pump 32. In this way, through the combination of suction pipe 31 and suction pump 32, multiple collection bottles 30 can be suctioned and collected at the same time. In addition, the suction pipe 31 is provided with a bottle mouth sleeve 310. The bottle mouth sleeve 310 is hollow inside and connected to the internal space of the suction pipe 31. The bottle mouth sleeve 310 is provided with an internal thread, and the mouth of the collection bottle 30 is provided with an external thread. The two are connected by threads, which makes disassembly and assembly simple and convenient.

[0056] Further, see Figure 6A weighing sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the collection bottle 30. Its working principle is based on specific physical effects, such as the resistance strain effect and the piezoelectric effect. When a micro-isolation block 5 falls into the collection bottle 30, the total weight of the collection bottle 30 and its internal isolation blocks changes, causing a change in the physical quantity inside the weighing sensor 6. The weighing sensor 6 is connected to a terminal via wired or wireless communication to measure the weight of the micro-isolation block 5 inside the collection bottle 30 in real time and uploads the measured weight data to the terminal. The terminal has pre-stored standard weight range data for the micro-isolation block 5. During production, each time a micro-isolation block 5 falls into the collection bottle 30, the weighing sensor 6 immediately senses the weight change and uploads the data to the terminal. The terminal can display the current weight of the micro-isolation block 5 inside the collection bottle 30 in real time, allowing operators to monitor the production status at any time, promptly detect abnormalities such as insufficient filling, and avoid the generation of a large number of defective products due to filling problems.

[0057] The method of using the 5-hole micro-isolator production device includes the following steps:

[0058] S1: The injection mold is closed to inject hot melt material into the cavity of the injection mold and control the hot melt material to cool and solidify in the cavity to obtain the micro-isolation block 5 molded product;

[0059] S2: The injection mold front mold and the rear mold 40 are separated under the drive of the opening and closing system. Then the lifting mechanism drives the air collection pipe 10 to fall, so that the opening end of each air collection pipe 10 accurately corresponds to each cavity of the mold.

[0060] S3: The mold ejection mechanism 400 smoothly ejects the molded product of the micro isolation block 5 from the cavity into the transition section 1010 cavity of the hard tube 101 of the air collection tube 10. After the ejection action is completed, the visual inspection component 10110 takes a picture of the product in the transition section 1010 cavity and uploads the picture to the terminal for comparison to obtain the size parameters.

[0061] S4: After the visual inspection component 10110 takes a picture, the vacuum pump 32 starts and generates a stable suction force to extract the molded product of the micro isolation block 5 from the inspection section 1011 of the rigid tube 101 to the flexible tube 100 and finally into the collection bottle 30.

[0062] S5: After the micro-isolation block 5 molded product falls into the collection bottle 30, the evacuation ends. The weighing sensor records the mass of each micro-isolation block 5 molded product falling into the collection terminal in real time and accurately, and transmits the mass data to the terminal for storage and analysis in real time.

[0063] S6: After a sufficient number of miniature isolation blocks 5 have been collected in the collection terminal, the fully loaded collection bottle 30 is removed and the empty collection bottle 30 is installed, thus completing a complete collection process.
