[0024] The utility model discloses an automatic shaping and cooling device. Through the combination of a shaping tool and a cooling device, the workpiece can be shaped and cooled quickly at the same time by utilizing the residual temperature of the workpiece after it comes out of an injection molding machine, thereby solving the problems of low workpiece precision and yield rate caused by the workpiece being easily deformed during movement after it comes out of the injection molding machine and being easily deformed during natural cooling.

[0026] The receiving platform 101 is used to receive external workpieces, and the loading module 200 is used to move the workpieces on the receiving platform 101 to the shaping tooling 102 .

[0027] The shaping tool 102 includes: a shaping moving module 1021 and a shaping lower module 1022 connected to the moving module.

[0028] The cooling device 103 includes: a lifting module 1031, a shaping upper mold 1032 connected to the lifting module 1031, and a cooler 1033 connected to the shaping upper mold 1032; one end of the shaping movable module 1021 extends to the bottom of the shaping upper mold 1032, which is used to drive the shaping lower mold 1022 to move to the bottom of the shaping upper mold 1032, and the lifting module 1031 is used to drive the shaping upper mold 1032 to do a lifting movement so that the shaping upper mold 1032 and the shaping lower mold 1022 are molded together.

[0029] The automatic shaping and cooling equipment also includes a frame and a control device connected to the frame. The above-mentioned receiving table 101, shaping tooling 102, cooling device 103 and loading module 200 are all connected to the frame. The control device is a computer or PLC, etc. The control device is used to connect and control the coordination of various devices. The automatic shaping and cooling equipment can also include a protective cover connected to the frame. The above-mentioned devices and modules can be arranged in the protective cover.

[0030] In this embodiment, the number of the shaping tooling 102 and the cooling device 103 is at least two. In a preferred embodiment, the number of the shaping tooling 102 and the cooling device 103 is three.

[0031] Through the cooperation of multiple shaping tools 102 and cooling devices 103, cyclic operation can be achieved, waiting period can be reduced and work efficiency can be improved. While one group of shaping tools 102 and cooling devices 103 are shaping and cooling workpieces, the loading module 200 can move another group of workpieces that have completed shaping and cooling to the outside for further inspection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feeding module 200 includes: a feeding lateral moving mechanism 201 , a feeding lifting and moving mechanism 203 , and a feeding suction fixture 205 which are connected in sequence.

[0033] When the shaping lower mold 1022 is located at one end of the movable module away from the cooling device 103, the receiving table 101 and a plurality of shaping tools 102 are arranged in a straight line along the horizontal direction. The loading module 200 can move the workpiece on the receiving table 101 to the shaping tool 102 only by driving the loading lifting and moving mechanism 203 and the loading suction fixture 205 to move horizontally through the loading horizontal moving mechanism 201, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the loading module 200.

[0034] In a further embodiment, the feeding module 200 further includes: a feeding longitudinal moving mechanism 202 , and the feeding transverse moving mechanism 201 and the feeding lifting and moving mechanism 203 are connected via the feeding longitudinal moving mechanism 202 .

[0035] By driving the loading transverse moving mechanism 201 and the longitudinal moving mechanism to drive the loading lifting moving mechanism 203 and the loading suction fixture 205 to move transversely and longitudinally, the loading module 200 can move the workpiece on the receiving table 101 to the shaping fixture 102 without limiting the arrangement of the receiving table 101 and the plurality of shaping fixtures 102. For example, the plurality of shaping fixtures 102 are arranged in at least two rows, so that the receiving table 101 is arranged in the same row as one row of shaping fixtures 102. After the workpieces of one row of shaping fixtures 102 are placed, it is only necessary to drive the loading lifting moving mechanism 203 and the loading suction fixture 205 to move transversely and longitudinally through the loading transverse moving mechanism 201 and the longitudinal moving mechanism to place the workpieces of the next row of shaping fixtures 102.

[0036] In a further embodiment, the feeding module 200 further includes: a feeding rotating mechanism 204 , and the feeding lifting and moving mechanism 203 and the feeding suction fixture 205 are connected via the feeding rotating mechanism 204 .

[0037] By driving the loading suction jig 205 to rotate through the loading rotating mechanism 204, the workpiece angle can be conveniently adjusted. When there is an angle change between the workpiece placement position of the receiving table 101 and the shaping lower mold 1022, and between the shaping lower mold 1022 and the workpiece placement position of the subsequent inspection process, the loading module 200 can adapt to the angle change process of different mechanisms.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lifting module 1031 includes: a vertically extending support member, a mounting plate installed above the support member, and a vertical linear motion mechanism installed on the mounting plate.

[0039] The shaping upper die 1032 is connected to the vertical linear motion mechanism.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cooler 1033 is a cooling fan or a liquid-cooled cooler 1033 , which is used to cool the workpiece between the shaping upper mold 1032 and the shaping lower mold 1022 .

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of lower mold cavities are provided on the shaping lower mold 1022 , and a plurality of suction cups are provided on the loading mold assembly 200 .

[0042] The distribution positions of the lower mold cavity and the suction cup are matched.

[0043] In this embodiment, the loading and sucking jig 205 includes: a loading jig plate installed on the loading lifting and moving mechanism 203 or the loading rotating mechanism 204, and a suction cup installed on the loading jig plate, and the suction cup is connected to the vacuum device.

[0044] The number of lower mold cavities is at least two, such as Figure 1 and 2The shaping lower mold 1022 shown is provided with four lower mold cavities, which are respectively distributed along the four corners of a rectangle or a square, and the central axis of the suction cup is arranged corresponding to the central position of the lower mold cavity.

[0045] By coordinating the distribution positions of the lower mold cavity and the suction cup, the loading module 200 can complete the placement of a workpiece of the shaping tool 102 by discharging the material once, thereby reducing the number of movements of the loading module 200 and improving work efficiency.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the shaping moving module 1021, the loading transverse moving mechanism 201, the loading longitudinal moving mechanism 202, the loading lifting moving mechanism 203 and the vertical linear motion mechanism can be a combination of an electric cylinder or a motor and a screw mechanism or a combination of a motor and a linear motion mechanism such as a rack and pinion mechanism. The loading rotating mechanism 204 can be a rotating power source such as a motor or a rotating cylinder, which is used to drive the loading suction fixture 205 to rotate. The shaping moving module 1021 and the vertical linear motion mechanism can also be a combination of a slide rail and a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0047] Working principle: The receiving platform 101 is set within a predetermined range on the side of the injection molding machine. The workpiece is placed on the receiving platform 101 within a predetermined time after the workpiece is output from the injection molding machine, and the loading module 200 moves the workpiece to the shaping fixture 102, and then the shaping moving module 1021 of the shaping fixture 102 drives the workpiece on the shaping lower mold 1022 to move to the bottom of the shaping upper mold 1032 of the cooling device 103, and then the lifting module 1031 of the cooling device 103 drives the workpiece on the shaping lower mold 1022 to move to the bottom of the shaping upper mold 1032 of the cooling device 103. The movable shaping upper mold 1032 descends to the mold closing position with the shaping lower mold 1022. After the shaping cooling time reaches the threshold, the lifting module 1031 of the cooling device 103 drives the shaping upper mold 1032 to rise to the predetermined position, and then the shaping moving module 1021 drives the workpiece on the shaping lower mold 1022 to move out from the bottom of the shaping upper mold 1032. Finally, the loading module 200 moves the workpiece on the shaping lower mold 1022 out of the shaping lower mold 1022.

[0048] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention itself.
