Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parts processing technology, specifically to an automatic material handling device and method for preventing material jamming in die-casting molds. Background Technology

[0002] Die casting molds are tools used to cast metal parts; they are used to complete the die casting process on specialized die casting and forging machines. During the die casting operation, a release agent is sprayed onto the die casting mold to allow the casting to be easily detached from the mold.

[0003] However, in actual operation, due to continuous operation, workers may forget to spray release agent on the die-casting mold, which may cause material jamming when removing the part. At the same time, special positions or dead corners on the die-casting mold may be overlooked when spraying release agent, resulting in uneven coverage of release agent, which in turn affects the demolding and removal of the casting and makes it inconvenient for users.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, an improved automatic material handling device and method for preventing material jamming in die-casting molds are now designed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic material handling device and method for die-casting molds that prevents material jamming, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic material handling device for die-casting molds to prevent material jamming includes a base. A first hydraulic telescopic rod is vertically mounted on the upper end of the base. A first mounting frame is mounted on the output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod. A second hydraulic telescopic rod is horizontally mounted inside the first mounting frame, perpendicular to the first hydraulic telescopic rod. A second mounting frame is mounted on the output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod. A third hydraulic telescopic rod is horizontally mounted inside the second mounting frame, perpendicular to both the first and second hydraulic telescopic rods. A mounting plate is mounted on the output end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod, perpendicular to the third hydraulic telescopic rod. An electric clamp for gripping and handling material is mounted on the end of the mounting plate away from the third hydraulic telescopic rod, located on one side of the mounting plate. A controller is mounted on the upper end of the base. A fixing plate is vertically mounted on the end of the mounting plate away from the third hydraulic telescopic rod, located on the side of the mounting plate away from the electric clamp. A spraying mechanism for spraying release agent onto the die-casting mold is provided on the fixing plate.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the spraying mechanism includes two housings, which are vertically arranged on both sides of a fixed plate. A first electric telescopic rod for pushing the two housings to move is horizontally installed on the fixed plate. The output end of the first electric telescopic rod is installed on the side wall of the housing near the fixed plate. A plurality of nozzles for spraying release agent onto the die-casting mold are arranged on the side of the housing away from the fixed plate. The plurality of nozzles are staggered to make the nozzles more densely arranged, so as to facilitate uniform spraying of release agent onto the die-casting mold. A camera is installed on the housing near the electric clamp. The camera is located on the side of the housing near the mounting plate. A liquid delivery assembly for delivering release agent to the nozzles is provided on the housing.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the infusion assembly includes a steel pipe corresponding to the nozzle; a limiting frame is installed on the side wall of the housing near the nozzle; the steel pipe is installed at the input end of the nozzle; a ball cooperating with the limiting frame is installed on the side wall of the steel pipe; the ball is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame; a flexible tube is installed at the end of the steel pipe away from the nozzle; a connecting pipe is installed at the end of the flexible tube away from the steel pipe; the connecting pipe connects the ends of all the flexible tubes away from the steel pipe together; a first infusion tube is installed on the side wall of the connecting pipe; a second infusion tube is installed at the end of the first infusion tube away from the connecting pipe, passing through the housing and the mounting plate; the end of the second infusion tube away from the first infusion tube is connected to a release agent delivery device; and an angle adjustment assembly for adjusting the angle between the steel pipe and the nozzle is provided on the steel pipe.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a storage frame is installed on the upper end of the base, and the second infusion tube is arranged in a U-shape inside the storage frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a counterweight ring is fitted on the side wall of the second infusion tube inside the storage frame to allow the second infusion tube to droop down to the bottom of the storage frame.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the angle adjustment component includes a sliding frame and a fixed frame corresponding to the steel pipe. A retaining ring is installed at the end of the steel pipe away from the nozzle. The sliding frame is slidably sleeved on the side wall of the steel pipe. The fixed frame is sleeved on the steel pipe. The side wall of the fixed frame is installed on the inner wall of the box. A second electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the four inner walls of the fixed frame through hinges. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sliding frame through hinges.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the inner wall of the sliding frame is equipped with ball bearings to facilitate the movement of the sliding frame along the side wall of the steel pipe.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box by a pipe clamp.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a triangular rib is provided at the connection between the output end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod and the mounting plate to ensure a stable connection between the output end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod and the mounting plate.

[0016] A method for using an automatic material handling device for anti-jamming die-casting molds includes the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: After the die-casting mold is opened, the first, second, and third hydraulic telescopic rods are activated to move the mounting plate and electric clamp in all directions, allowing the electric clamp to remove the casting from the die-casting mold. Then, the third hydraulic telescopic rod is activated to retract. The output end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod drives the mounting plate, electric clamp, casting, and fixing plate to move. The fixing plate drives the first electric telescopic rod, the housing, camera, and nozzle to move. At the same time, the camera captures images in real time and transmits them to the controller for processing and analysis to determine the position of the housing. When the housing moves to the edge of the die-casting mold, the mold release agent delivery equipment is activated.

[0018] Step 2: The mold release agent delivery equipment delivers the mold release agent sequentially to the second delivery pipe, the first delivery pipe, the connecting pipe, the hose, the steel pipe, and the nozzle. The nozzle then sprays the mold release agent onto the die-casting mold.

[0019] Step 3: As the housing moves, at the set position, the controller activates the second electric telescopic rod inside the same fixed frame. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod drives the sliding frame to move, causing the sliding frame to slide along the inner wall of the steel pipe. The steel pipe drives the ball to rotate along the inner wall of the limiting frame, and the steel pipe drives the nozzle to move. Thus, with the cooperation of the four second electric telescopic rods, the angle of the nozzle is adjusted, so that the nozzle sprays the release agent into the dead corners and special positions of the die-casting mold.

[0020] Step 4: After the box body is away from the die-casting mold, start the first hydraulic telescopic rod, the second hydraulic telescopic rod, and the third hydraulic telescopic rod to move the mounting plate and the electric clamp in all directions, put down the casting on the electric clamp, and then prepare to pick up the next casting.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] This invention provides a release agent spraying mechanism next to the electric clamp for material handling. After material handling, the release agent is sprayed onto the die-casting mold immediately, which facilitates the removal of the casting from the die-casting mold after the die-casting process. This effectively reduces the chance of material jamming and makes the product easier for users to use.

[0023] This invention achieves nozzle angle adjustment by setting an angle adjustment mechanism on each steel pipe. When the nozzle sprays release agent onto the die-casting mold, it can spray release agent into the dead corners and special positions of the die-casting mold, ensuring that the release agent covers all areas of the die-casting mold, effectively improving the demolding efficiency of the casting and reducing the occurrence of material jamming.

[0035] The working principle of an automatic material handling device for anti-jamming die-casting molds:

[0036] After the die-casting mold is opened, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 2, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 4, and the third hydraulic telescopic rod 6 are activated to move the mounting plate 7 and the electric clamp 8 in all directions, so that the electric clamp 8 removes the casting from the die-casting mold. Then, the third hydraulic telescopic rod 6 is activated to retract. The output end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod 6 drives the mounting plate 7, the electric clamp 8, the casting, and the fixing plate 27 to move. The fixing plate 27 drives the first electric telescopic rod 10, the box 11, the camera 9, and the nozzle 13 to move. At the same time, the camera 9 captures images in real time and transmits them to the controller 17 for processing and analysis to determine the position of the box 11. When the box 11 moves to the edge of the die-casting mold, the mold release agent delivery equipment is activated.

[0037] The mold release agent delivery equipment delivers the mold release agent sequentially to the second delivery pipe 15, the first delivery pipe 14, the connecting pipe 25, the hose 21, the steel pipe 18, and the nozzle 13. The nozzle 13 sprays the mold release agent onto the die casting mold.

[0038] As the housing 11 moves, at the set position, the controller 17 activates the second electric telescopic rod 23 inside the same fixed frame 22. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 23 drives the sliding frame 24 to move, causing the sliding frame 24 to slide along the inner wall of the steel pipe 18. The steel pipe 18 drives the ball 19 to rotate along the inner wall of the limiting frame 12. The steel pipe 18 drives the nozzle 13 to move, thereby adjusting the angle of the nozzle 13 with the cooperation of the four second electric telescopic rods 23, so that the nozzle 13 sprays the release agent into the dead corners and special positions of the die-casting mold.

[0039] After the housing 11 is moved away from the die-casting mold, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 2, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 4, and the third hydraulic telescopic rod 6 are activated to move the mounting plate 7 and the electric clamp 8 in all directions, so that the casting on the electric clamp 8 is put down, and then preparation is made for the next casting to be picked up.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
