Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sealing strip processing technology, and specifically relates to an integrated automatic loading, unloading and storage transport line for automated injection molding lines. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's automobile industry, automobile production scale is increasing, and the demand for sealing strips, as an integral part of automobiles, is also growing. A complete sealing strip requires two production processes: cutting and injection molding, to form a finished product. To meet the demand for large-volume production, automated production lines integrating cutting and injection molding are being built to improve production efficiency. The transfer of sealing strips between the two processes within the automated production line requires specialized material handling equipment. However, the different needs of different products or different locations will affect the layout of the entire automated production line. When the production line adopts a left-right component-centered layout, the traditional material handling equipment operates independently, and multiple robot gripping points are concentrated in the same area. This leads to redundant waste of drive components on the transport equipment, increasing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when different punching equipment is placed separately, the traditional material handling equipment, which needs to face different directions, may interfere with each other, which is detrimental to the production line layout.

[0003] In addition, the top strip is one of the important parts in the sealing strip processing. Currently, most of the feeding is done manually, which is slow. Due to the special nature of its material, direct feeding is difficult. Therefore, the current solution is to install the top strip onto the strip clamp once and then transfer the strip clamp together to reduce multiple installation steps. In addition, since the previous transport line required manual loading and unloading of each strip, and manual loading and unloading has no storage capacity, when the personnel leave, the transport line will have waiting time, which will affect its efficiency.

[0004] Currently, most material loading on the conveyor line involves manual installation of the flexible strips onto the flexible strip clamps before suspending them onto the conveyor line. This process is time-consuming, and since manual loading and unloading lacks storage capacity, the conveyor line experiences waiting time when personnel leave, which affects its efficiency.

[0005] Liner strips are one of the important parts in the sealing strip processing. The current feeding method is to manually feed the material onto the conveyor line. After feeding, it is necessary to wait for the next cycle before feeding can be done again. This waiting time affects the work efficiency of the personnel. Furthermore, when the personnel leave, the conveyor line will also experience waiting time, which will affect its efficiency. Therefore, the current feeding method needs to be improved.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing transport lines and material loading methods still need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Purpose of the Invention: To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated automatic loading, unloading, and storage transport line for automated injection molding lines. Its structure is rationally designed, forming a transport cart matrix by regularly arranging different transport cart components. Multiple transport cart matrices are then equidistantly arranged on the transport module, thus combining to form a complete transport device. This requires only one drive component, saving on multiple drive components and reducing manufacturing costs. Because the transport cart matrix is ​​equidistant, each transport pause occurs at the same position as the previous one. This characteristic allows for flexible placement of the loading and unloading device at other locations based on production line layout requirements or site constraints when a robot gripping position is identified.

[0008] Technical solution: In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an integrated automatic loading, unloading and storage transportation line for automated injection molding, comprising: an integrated conveyor line, wherein the integrated conveyor line is provided with at least one set of transport trolley matrices, the transport trolley matrices being equally spaced;

A transport trolley matrix is ​​formed by regularly arranging different transport trolley components, and multiple transport trolley matrices are equidistantly arranged on the transport module to form a complete transport device. The transport trolley matrices are equidistant, and each transport pause occurs at the same position as the previous one. This characteristic allows for the selection of a robot gripping position based on production line layout requirements or site constraints.

[0010] The loading and unloading redundancy brought by each automatic loading and unloading device and its own storage station is used to compensate for the fact that the robot picks up materials in a production cycle from the same transport cart matrix, thereby improving the production efficiency of the automated line.

[0020] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a third moving module, a fourth moving module, a second lifting drive cylinder, a second lifting connecting plate, at least one feeding mechanical claw mechanism, a telescopic connecting plate, and a telescopic drive assembly.

[0029] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The automated injection molding line integrated with automatic loading, unloading, and storage transport system of this invention integrates independent transport modules into a single transport module. A transport cart matrix is ​​formed by regularly arranged different transport cart components. Multiple transport cart matrices are then equidistantly arranged on the transport module to form a complete transport device. Only one drive component is needed, thus saving on multiple drive components and reducing manufacturing costs. Because the transport cart matrix is ​​equidistant, each transport pause occurs at the same position as the previous one. This characteristic allows for flexible placement of the loading and unloading device at other locations based on production line layout requirements or site constraints when a robot gripping position is identified. Furthermore, the loading and unloading redundancy brought by the automatic loading and unloading device and its built-in storage mechanism can compensate for the disadvantages of a production cycle robot picking up materials from the same transport cart matrix. If personnel directly load and unload materials from the transport cart matrix and rely solely on the storage of multiple transport cart matrices, the lack of materials or missing loading in one or more transport cart matrices will lead to the scrapping of products or the shutdown of the production line, thereby improving the production efficiency of the automated line.

[0031] 2. The automatic top bar loading and unloading device, through a top bar transfer device, can transfer top bars from the storage device to the transport line, automating the loading process. Simultaneously, the storage device effectively reduces waiting time and improves loading efficiency. The first and second storage mechanisms within the storage device allow for the simultaneous batch placement of top bars and sheet metal strips, further enhancing supply efficiency. The recycling device automatically recycles the sheet metal strips, reducing the workload for workers.

[0032] 3. The automatic loading and unloading device for soft strips enables batch placement of soft strips by setting up a first storage device, which can ensure the supply speed of loading and prevent problems such as material shortage or untimely supply. The loading device can realize automated loading and effectively improve its loading efficiency.

[0033] 4. The suspension base facilitates the placement and removal of the flexible strip clamp; a set of suspension brackets is provided on the suspension base, and the suspension brackets are provided with suspension grooves. The suspension grooves facilitate the suspension of the suspension rods on the flexible strip clamp, preventing them from falling.

[0034] 5. The soft strip clamp recycling device can automatically recycle soft strip clamps and place the recycled soft strip clamps on the soft strip clamp storage device for centralized storage to avoid them being scattered.

[0035] 6. The automatic feeding device for lining strips can receive products transported by the transfer device and deliver them to the designated transfer position. It works in conjunction with the preceding transport and transfer devices to achieve automatic feeding, reduce transfer waiting time, effectively improve feeding efficiency, reduce the workload of workers, and better meet production needs.

[0036] 7. The rotary drive cylinder drives the rotary connecting plate to rotate the mechanical gripper, transferring the product from the transport device to the feeding device, realizing automated transfer and feeding, and effectively improving its feeding efficiency.

[0037] 8. The clamping and positioning components improve the stability of rotation and prevent the product from falling during rotation.

[0038] 9. When the lifting drive cylinder in the second feeding and positioning module drives the lifting flange to rise, the lifting flange will drive the upper contour strip to move upward, which facilitates the control of the opening and closing of the second transport device.

Through the cooperation of the main drive wheel, the driven wheels 124, and the synchronous belt 125, transmission and transportation are achieved. As the synchronous belt 125 moves, it drives the connected transportation trolley matrix 13 to move. Throughout the entire operation, only one transportation drive assembly 123 is needed, effectively solving the problem of requiring a separate drive assembly for each product, saving multiple sets of drive assemblies, and reducing equipment manufacturing costs. The transport drive assembly 123 drives the main drive wheel to rotate the synchronous belt 125, which in turn drives the transport trolley matrix 13 to rotate on it. This enables the loading and conveying of products, effectively solving the problem of using different transport mechanisms for different products and greatly saving on equipment costs.

[0083] like Figure 2The transport trolley matrix 13 shown includes at least one first transport device 131 for transporting top strips, at least one first recycling transport device 132 for transporting top strip sheet metal, at least one second recycling device 133 for recycling soft strip transport and clamps, at least one second transport device 134 for conveying lining strips, or any combination thereof. The transport trolley matrix 13 can be configured by selecting appropriate transport and recycling devices based on the actual products being transported, thus better meeting production needs.

[0084] like Figure 2 The first transport device 131 shown includes a first transport trolley base assembly 1311, a first connecting plate 1312, and a first suspension base 1313.

The top strip sheet metal with the product is inserted into the groove of the first suspension base 1313 and the limiting block 1314, and the suspension limiting rod on it is horizontally arranged in the first anti-detachment groove 13131. The first transport trolley base assembly 1311 cooperates with the annular inclined guide rail 126, and the first anti-detachment groove 13131 can prevent the top bar from falling off during transport, thereby improving its transport stability.

[0085] The first recycling and transport device 132 includes a second connecting plate 1321, a second suspension base 1322, and a second transport trolley base assembly 1323.

The fourth transport trolley base assembly 1342 is connected to a synchronous belt 125, and its pulleys cooperate with an annular inclined guide rail 126. The third connecting plate 1341 is connected to the fourth transport trolley base assembly 1342, and a guide rail is provided on the side away from the fourth transport trolley base assembly 1342. The upper contouring strip 1343 and the lower contouring strip 1344 are slidably connected to the guide rail by sliders, and a lifting plate 1345 is provided above the upper contouring strip 1343. The upper and lower contouring strips 1343 and 1344 can restrict the upper and lower ends of the product's lining strip, improving its transport stability.

Its output end is provided with a lifting flange 155, which has a slot. The second feeding and positioning module 15 can position the second transportation device 134. Simultaneously, when the lifting drive cylinder drives the lifting flange 155 to rise, the lifting flange 155 will move the upper contour strip block 1343 upwards, facilitating control of the opening and closing of the second transportation device 134. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the positioning element 153 is preferably a positioning pin, but other suitable positioning elements 153 can also be selected according to actual needs, as long as they can meet the positioning requirements.

[0089] The working process is as follows: Before feeding, when the lifting drive cylinder 154 drives the lifting flange 155 to rise, the lifting flange 155 will lift the lifting plate 1345. During the process of lifting the plate 1345 rising, it will drive the upper conforming strip block 1343 to move upward, and the second transport device 134 used to transport the lining strip is in the open state.

[0090] After the product is placed, when the lifting drive cylinder 154 drives the lifting flange 155 to descend, the lifting flange 155 will drive the lifting plate 1345 to move downward. During the downward movement of the lifting plate 1345, it will also drive the upper conforming strip block 1343 to move downward together and lock the liner strip.

[0118] Example 3

[0119] The working method of the integrated automatic loading, unloading, and storage transport line for automated injection molding in this embodiment is as follows: The working principle of the top bar loading and unloading device is as follows:

[0120] Top bar feeding: The horizontal drive cylinder 236 in the top bar transfer device 23 extends to drive multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to extend and approach the top bar storage station. The transfer drive cylinder 2353 in the multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 drives the transfer clamping assembly 2352 to close and grab the top bar and its mounting sheet metal located on multiple first storage mechanisms 222 at the top bar storage station.

[0121] The lifting drive cylinder 233 in the top bar transfer device 23 extends to drive multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to rise. Then the second moving module 232 retracts to drive the lifting drive cylinder 233 and its multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 away from the suspension base on the first storage mechanism 222.

[0122] The horizontal drive cylinder 236 in the top bar transfer device 23 retracts, causing multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to retract, and causing multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to move away from the top bar storage station;

[0123] The first moving module 231 in the top bar transfer device 23 moves backward, driving multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to approach the first transport device 131. At this time, the multiple sets of top bars and their sheet metal components arranged at equal intervals move backward by one interval.

[0124] The horizontal drive cylinder 236 in the top bar transfer device 23 extends again, driving multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to extend and approach the top bar storage station and the first transport device 131;

[0125] The second moving module 232 in the top bar transfer device 23 extends to drive the lifting drive cylinder 233 and its multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to approach the suspension base on the first storage mechanism 222 and the suspension base on the first transport device 131; then the lifting drive cylinder 233 retracts to drive the multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to descend and suspend the multiple sets of top bars and their mounting sheet metal to the first storage mechanism 222 and the suspension base on the first transport device 131 at the top bar storage station;

[0126] The transfer drive cylinder 2353 in the multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 in the top bar transfer device 23 drives the transfer clamping assembly 2352 to open. Then, the horizontal drive cylinder 236 retracts, causing the multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to retract. Finally, the first moving module 231 moves forward, causing the multiple sets of top bar transfer mechanisms 235 to move away from the first transport device 131 and return to the standby position.

[0127] The sheet metal recycling and blanking process for the top strip mounting strip is as follows:

[0128] The horizontal movement drive module 211 in the recycling device 24 moves backward, driving multiple sets of mechanical claw assemblies 244 to approach the first recycling transport device 132;

[0129] The lifting drive cylinder 242 in the recycling device 24 extends to drive multiple sets of mechanical claw assemblies 244 to rise. The mechanical claw assembly 244 closes during the lifting process, lifting the sheet metal strip to detach it from the sheet metal recycling storage and opening station. The first mounting base 2231, the fourth suspension base 2232 and the suspension base in the first recycling transport device 132 are opened.

[0130] The rotary drive mechanism 2233 in the sheet metal recycling storage station extends and drives the rack 22332 to extend. The movement of the rack 22332 drives the fourth suspension base 2232 to rotate in the first mounting base 2231 toward the rotary drive mechanism 2233, thereby opening the movement path of the top strip sheet metal.

[0131] The horizontal movement drive module 211 in the recycling device 24 moves forward, driving multiple sets of mechanical claw assemblies 244 away from the first recycling transport device 132 and closer to the recycling fixing mechanism 224. At this time, the multiple sets of top strip mounting sheet metal arranged at equal intervals move forward one interval position.

[0132] In the sheet metal recycling storage opening station, the rotary drive mechanism 2233 retracts and drives the rack 22332 to retract. The movement of the rack 22332 drives the fourth suspension base 2232 to rotate back in the first mounting base 2231 in a direction away from the rotary drive mechanism 2233.

[0133] The lifting drive cylinder 242 in the recycling device 24 retracts, causing multiple sets of mechanical claw assemblies 244 to descend, suspending multiple sets of sheet metal strips onto the left and right suspension seats 2242 in the recycling fixing mechanism 224 and the first mounting seat 2231 and the fourth suspension base 2232 in the sheet metal recycling storage opening station. Since the mechanical claw assembly 244 is lifting the sheet metal strips, it can continue to descend after the sheet metal strips are suspended in place during the descent process. After descending to the correct position, the mechanical claw assembly 244 opens.

[0134] The working principle of the flexible strip loading and unloading device is as follows:

[0135] The soft strip feeding process is as follows: the cylinder in the fourth moving module 332 retracts, driving the second lifting drive cylinder 333, the second lifting connecting plate 334 and the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 to approach the soft strip and clamp in the first storage device 32. The feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 closes and grabs the soft strip and its clamp located on the suspension frame of the fifth suspension base 322.

[0136] The second lifting drive cylinder 333 extends to drive the second lifting connecting plate 334 to move the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 and the clamped soft strip and its clamps upward away from the fifth suspension base 322; the telescopic drive assembly 337 drives the telescopic connecting plate 336 to retract, and drives the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 to retract away from the soft strip storage station.

[0137] The overall moving cylinder in the third moving module 331 moves backward, driving the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 to approach the second recycling device 133. At this time, the multiple sets of soft strips and their clamps arranged at equal intervals move backward by one interval position.

[0138] The telescopic drive assembly 337 drives the telescopic connecting plate 336 to extend, which in turn drives the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 and the clamped soft strip and its clamp to approach the soft strip storage station and the second recycling device 133. The second lifting drive cylinder 333 drives the second lifting connecting plate 334 to descend. During the descent of the second lifting connecting plate 334, the feeding mechanical claw mechanism 335 is driven to descend and approach the fifth suspension base 322, until the soft strip and its clamp are suspended on the suspension frame on the fifth suspension base 322 after the interval and on the corresponding suspension base in the second recycling device 133.

[0139] When the loading mechanical claw mechanism 335 opens, the cylinder in the fourth moving module 332 extends and drives the second lifting drive cylinder 333, the second lifting connecting plate 334, and the loading mechanical claw mechanism 335 away from the soft strip and its clamps; the telescopic drive assembly 337 drives the telescopic connecting plate 336 to retract, and drives the loading mechanical claw mechanism 335 away from the soft strip and its clamps that have been loaded.

[0140] The overall moving cylinder in the third moving module 331 moves forward, causing the loading mechanical claw mechanism 335 to move away from the soft strip transport and clamp recovery trolley. Then, the telescopic drive assembly 337 drives the telescopic connecting plate 336 to extend again, causing the loading mechanical claw mechanism 335 to extend again and return to the standby position near the soft strip storage station.

[0141] The soft strip clamp unloading and recycling process is as follows: The fifth moving module 3411 moves backward, driving the recycling mechanical claw mechanism 343 to approach the second recycling device 133. The recycling independent lifting cylinder 344 drives the independent lifting connecting plate 3441 to extend, driving the recycling mechanical claw mechanism 343 to approach the second recycling device 133 until it is at the same height as other recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343. The telescopic drive mechanism 354 extends, driving multiple sets of sixth suspension bases 353 to approach the soft strip clamp recycling device 34.

[0142] The feeding two-stage moving drive cylinder 3412 in the soft strip clamp recycling device 34 drives the recycling overall lifting cylinder 342 and the recycling mechanical claw mechanism 343 to approach the soft strip clamp in the soft strip clamp recycling storage station and the soft strip clamp in the second recycling device 133.

[0143] Subsequently, the mechanical claw mechanism 343 closes the gripper of the soft strip at the corresponding position, and the overall lifting cylinder 342 drives the mechanical claw mechanism 343 to rise away from the suspension base in the storage station and the suspension base in the second recycling device 133. The telescopic drive mechanism 354 retracts and drives multiple sets of sixth suspension bases 353 away from the soft strip gripper recycling device 34, thereby opening the recycling route of the soft strip gripper.

[0144] The overall moving module 3411 in the soft strip clamp recycling device 34 moves forward, driving multiple sets of recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343 away from the second recycling device 133. At this time, the multiple sets of equidistant overall modules move forward by one interval.

[0145] The telescopic drive mechanism 354 in the soft strip clamp recycling and storage station extends again, driving multiple sets of sixth suspension bases 353 to approach the soft strip clamp recycling device 34. Then, the recycling overall lifting cylinder 342 in the soft strip clamp recycling device 34 retracts, driving multiple sets of recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343 to descend and approach the sixth suspension base 353 in the soft strip clamp recycling and storage station, until the soft strip clamp is suspended on the sixth suspension base 353.

[0146] The multiple sets of recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343 in the soft strip clamp recycling device 34 open, and then the second-stage moving drive cylinder 3412 extends to drive the overall lifting cylinder 342 and the multiple sets of recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343 on it away from the soft strip clamp in the soft strip clamp recycling storage station. Finally, the independent lifting cylinder 344 extends to drive a set of recycling mechanical claw mechanisms 343 to descend, and the telescopic drive mechanism 354 in the soft strip clamp recycling storage station retracts again to drive the multiple sets of sixth suspension bases 353 away from the soft strip clamp recycling device 34.

[0147] The working principle of the automatic lining strip feeding device 4 is as follows:

[0148] The process of feeding the liner strips is as follows:

[0149] The lining strip is placed on the mounting base 42. The third lifting drive cylinder 432 drives the lifting mounting plate 433 to lift the transport support base 434. During the lifting process, the transport support base 434 will lift the lining strip upward and away from the mounting base 42. The horizontal drive cylinder in the horizontal moving module 431 retracts, driving the third lifting drive cylinder 432, the lifting mounting plate 433 and the transport support base 434 with the lining strip to move together toward the side of the transfer device 44. At this time, the equidistant rows of lining strips move backward by one interval. The third lifting drive cylinder 432 drives the lifting mounting plate 433 to lower the transport support base 434. During the lowering process, the transport support base 434 will lower the lining strip and place it on the corresponding mounting base 42 and transfer device 44.

[0150] Subsequently, the horizontal drive cylinder in the horizontal moving module 431 extends and drives the transport support base 434 to move forward away from the transfer device 44;

[0151] After the mechanical gripper 443 clamps the liner, the first rotary drive cylinder 441 drives the rotary connecting plate 442 to rotate. The rotary connecting plate 442 drives the mechanical gripper 443 and the clamped liner to rotate together, rotating them from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0152] When the lifting drive cylinder 154 drives the lifting flange 155 to rise, the lifting flange 155 will lift the lifting plate 1345. During the process of lifting the plate 1345 rising, it will drive the upper contour strip block 1343 to move upward, and the second transport device 134 used to transport the lining strip is in the open state.

[0153] The telescopic cylinder assembly 454 drives the feeding mechanism 452 to move toward the transfer device 44, so that its second mechanical claw assembly 4523 clamps the liner strip; the operating mechanical gripper 443 opens and releases the liner strip, and then the lifting cylinder 4521 drives the third lifting connecting plate 4522 to rise. During the rise of the third lifting connecting plate 4522, the second mechanical claw assembly 4523 and the clamped liner strip rise together and disengage from the operating mechanical gripper 443.

[0154] Subsequently, the first rotary drive cylinder 441 drives the rotary connecting plate 442 to rotate, and the rotary connecting plate 442 drives the mechanical gripper 443 to rotate towards the liner storage station.

[0155] Subsequently, the feeding moving cylinder assembly 455 in the liner feeding device extends and drives the second mechanical claw assembly 4523 to move backward toward the second transport device 134;

[0156] The lifting cylinder 4521 in the lining feeding device retracts, causing the second mechanical claw assembly 4523 to descend and place the lining strip into the lower contouring strip block 1344. Subsequently, when the lifting drive cylinder 154 drives the lifting flange 155 to descend, the lifting flange 155 will drive the lifting plate 1345 to move downward. During the downward movement of the lifting plate 1345, it will drive the upper contouring strip block 1343 to move downward together and hold the lining strip in place.

[0157] The second mechanical claw assembly 4523 in the liner feeding device opens, and then the telescopic cylinder assembly 454 and the feeding moving cylinder assembly 455 retract, driving the second mechanical claw assembly 4523 forward away from the second transport device 134 until it returns to the standby position.

[0158] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
