It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so as to describe the embodiments of the application described herein. Example 1

[0021] As Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, the filter core automatic production equipment provided by the present application comprises a rack 1, a heating mechanism 2, a transfer mechanism 3 and a cooling mechanism 4 installed on the rack 1. Specifically, the heating mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 4 are arranged along the front-rear direction, and the transfer mechanism 3 is configured to reciprocate between the heating mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 4 to automatically transfer the heated forming mold to the cooling mechanism 4.

[0022] For example, when producing the filter core, the powdered PE, PP, PLA, PHA, PHB and other materials are placed in the forming mold, and then the mold containing the powdered material is placed in the heating mechanism 2. The heating mechanism 2 clamps and fixes the mold and heats it for a certain period of time until the powdered material in the mold is melted. Then, the high-temperature mold is transferred from the heating mechanism 2 to the cooling mechanism 4 by the transfer mechanism 3, and the mold is cooled in the cooling mechanism 4 to solidify the filter core in the mold.

[0023] Continuing to refer to 1, the heating mechanism 2 comprises a lower heating table 21, an upper heating table 22 and a heating drive cylinder 23. The lower heating table 21 can be positioned at the heating station, and the mold containing the powdered material is placed on the lower heating table 21. The upper heating table 22 clamps the mold on the lower heating table 21 under the lifting drive of the heating drive cylinder 23 to ensure the stability of the mold positioning. The mold is symmetrically heated from the upper and lower sides by the lower heating table 21 and the upper heating table 22, so that the powdered material in the mold is heated and melted.

[0024] Continuing to refer to Figures 3-7 As shown, the transfer mechanism 3 comprises two groups of transfer moving tracks 31 distributed on the outer sides of the heating mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 4, and a gantry bracket 32 moving along the transfer moving tracks 31, and a material taking manipulator 33 is arranged on the gantry bracket 32. Specifically, the transfer moving tracks 31 are formed by linear motors or motor lead screw structures extending along the front-rear direction to provide guidance and drive for the movement of the gantry bracket 32 and the material taking manipulator 33. Photoelectric sensors matched with the material taking manipulator 33 are arranged on the gantry bracket 32 to accurately position the movement position of the gantry bracket 32 and the material taking manipulator 33. The material taking manipulator 33 is used to take the high-temperature mold heated at the heating station of the heating mechanism 2 and release the mold at the cooling station of the cooling mechanism 4 to cool the mold and the molten material inside.

[0025] For example, the material taking manipulator 33 includes two sets of claw parts 34 distributed oppositely and a material taking cylinder 35 driving the two sets of claw parts 34 to move oppositely or opposingly. Specifically, the moving direction of the two sets of claw parts 34 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the transfer moving track 31, that is, the material taking manipulator 33 performs symmetrical clamping on the mold left and right.

[0026] To further improve the stability of the material taking manipulator 33 clamping the mold, preferably, the claw part 34 includes a mounting seat 341, a clamping plate 342 and a calibration member 343 connecting the mounting seat 341 and the clamping plate 342 as shown. Figure 5 The calibration member 343 is used to calibrate the relative positions of the two sets of claw parts 34. Taking the symmetrical mold as an example, if it is necessary to ensure that the left and right sides of the mold are balanced when clamped by the two clamping plates 342, the initial positioning distance of the left and right clamping plates 342 relative to the material taking cylinder 35 should be equal, that is, the left and right clamping plates 342 are symmetrical relative to the material taking cylinder 35. For the asymmetrical mold, if it is necessary to ensure that the left and right clamping forces of the two clamping plates 342 acting on the mold are balanced, the two clamping plates 342 should be adjusted to the initial position eccentric to the material taking cylinder 35 according to the actual structure of the mold. Thus, the phenomenon that one side of the clamping plate 342 abuts against the mold while the other side of the clamping plate 342 does not contact the mold during the material taking process can be effectively avoided. Even if the two clamping plates 342 clamp the mold, the mold position may also be offset, and the calibration member 343 can effectively avoid the occurrence of the mold offset phenomenon. Of course, for the case that the asymmetrical mold is eccentrically placed on the lower heating table 21, the calibration member 343 can also be used to calibrate the two clamping plates 342 to accurately and evenly clamp the mold.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the calibration member 343 includes a calibration guide rail 344 mounted on the mounting seat 341 and a calibration sliding seat 345 mounted on the clamping plate 342 as shown. Figure 5 The calibration sliding seat 345 is slidingly assembled on the calibration guide rail 344, and the calibration guide rail 344 and the calibration sliding seat 345 are both provided with calibration scale marks. Based on this, the positions of the left and right clamping plates 342 are calibrated by the movement of the calibration sliding seat 345 on the calibration guide rail 344 and the alignment of the calibration scale marks. Regarding the sliding drive of the calibration sliding seat 345, preferably, a calibration rack 346 is arranged on the calibration guide rail 344, and a calibration pin 347 is arranged on the calibration sliding seat 345 as shown. Figure 6The helical gear 347 meshing with the calibration rack 346, i.e. through the rotation of the helical gear 347 and the meshing of the helical gear 347 with the calibration rack 346, can realize the movement and self-locking of the calibration slide 345 on the calibration guide rail 344. Regarding the rotation drive of the helical gear 347, a micro motor drive can be selected, and a manual knob drive can also be selected.

[0028] Continuing to refer to 1, the cooling mechanism 4 includes a lower cooling table 41, an upper cooling table 42, and a cooling driving cylinder 43. Among them, the lower cooling table 41 can be positioned at a cooling station, and the high-temperature mold is placed on the lower cooling table 41 under the transfer transport of the transfer mechanism 3, and the upper cooling table 42 is pressed and clamped on the mold on the lower cooling table 41 under the lifting drive of the cooling driving cylinder 43, so as to ensure the stability of the mold positioning, and the mold is symmetrically cooled from the upper and lower sides through the lower cooling table 41 and the upper cooling table 42. 42, so that the molten material in the mold is quickly cooled and solidified.

[0029] In order to improve the cooling speed and cooling uniformity of the mold and the material in the mold, the inside of the lower cooling table 41 and the upper cooling table 42 is provided with a plurality of cooling flow channels 44 arranged side by side as shown. Figure 8 The adjacent cooling flow channels 44 are connected in series through U-shaped bends 45, so that the plurality of cooling flow channels 44 and the plurality of U-shaped bends 45 combine to form an S-shaped flow channel, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency. After cooling, the mold is taken out from the lower cooling table 41, and the molded filter element is obtained after demolding.

[0030] As described above, in the present embodiment, the heating mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 4 are integrated to realize the heating of the mold and the cooling of the mold, and the transfer mechanism 3 is provided to realize the automatic transfer of the high-temperature mold. Compared with manual transfer, it has the advantages of high efficiency, good safety, and accurate control of transfer time, so as to effectively solve the problem of unstable product quality.

Specifically, the heating mechanism 2, the transfer mechanism 3 and the cooling mechanism 4 all adopt the same structure as that of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, except that the lower heating table 21 of the heating mechanism 2 is arranged on the feeding mechanism 5, so that the lower heating table 21 can be positioned at a heating station under the transport of the feeding mechanism 5; and the lower cooling table 41 of the cooling mechanism 4 is arranged on the discharging mechanism 6, so that the lower cooling table 41 can be positioned at a cooling station under the transport of the discharging mechanism 6.

[0032] With reference to the drawings Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the feeding mechanism 5 and the discharging mechanism 6 each include an upper moving driving assembly 7 and a lower moving driving assembly 8 which are operated alternately. Specifically, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 3 is positioned at the initial position, the feeding mechanism 5 is located at the front side of the transfer mechanism 3, and the discharging mechanism 6 is located at the rear side of the transfer mechanism 3. Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 3 is positioned at the initial position, the feeding mechanism 5 is located at the front side of the transfer mechanism 3, and the discharging mechanism 6 is located at the rear side of the transfer mechanism 3.

[0033] In an embodiment, the upper moving driving assembly 7 includes two symmetrically distributed groups of upper moving tracks 71 and an upper base 72 installed between the two groups of upper moving tracks 71.
