Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the automobile industry and the field of automobile injection molding production, and particularly to a tool for automatically cutting a gate, which is used to remove the gate of an injection molded automobile air outlet plate. Background Art

[0002] With the further advancement of national policies, the market for new energy vehicles has gradually expanded. People are no longer satisfied with electric vehicles that are mainly based on low prices, rough craftsmanship, and a range of 100 kilometers. New energy vehicles are gradually developing towards high-end brands, and luxury brand models are becoming more and more popular with consumers. For the existing automobile air outlet plate injection molding process, the gate handle of the air outlet plate needs to be cut off, which is very time-consuming. For example, when one injection mold produces one product, there are 3 handles that need to be cut off. Usually, manual shearing and correction are required, and the trimming time takes nearly 30 seconds. In addition, during trimming, the handle cannot be more than the plane. Workers will have fatigue periods if they work for a long time, and their physical strength and concentration will be reduced. There will be situations such as uneven trimming and higher than the plane, which is very likely to be reworked again, greatly reducing labor efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the situation caused by the deficiencies in the existing process technology and the possible product defects, the utility model provides a tool for automatically cutting the gate. The use of this tool replaces the work of manually cutting the gate, which can not only improve labor efficiency but also improve product quality.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: a tooling for automatically cutting a gate, comprising a profiling platform, a product profiling positioning device, a pillar, a top surface platform, a downward pressure cylinder, a cutter and an operating switch: the product profiling positioning device is arranged on the upper plane of the profiling platform, the top surface platform is horizontally and parallelly arranged above the profiling platform, and is supported by a plurality of pillars, the downward pressure cylinder is vertically arranged at the bottom of the top surface platform, one end of the downward pressure cylinder piston rod is downward, the cutter is arranged at the top end of the piston rod, and the operating switch is arranged at the front end of the profiling platform for controlling the downward pressure cylinder.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that by using the utility model, the work of cutting the gate is fully automated, no longer relying on manual operation, and the trimming time is reduced from the original 30 seconds to 8 seconds. This not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also effectively reduces the impact of human factors on product quality. Since the tooling can accurately perform the cutting task, the quality of the product's cut is more consistent and accurate. This automated production method can also reduce the labor intensity of personnel and reduce fatigue and errors caused by long-term repetitive operations. It lays a solid foundation for the steady improvement of product quality and the continuous improvement of production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a tool for automatically cutting a gate includes: a profiling platform 1, a product profiling positioning device 2, a support 3, a top surface platform 4, a downward pressure cylinder 5, a cutter 6 and an operation switch 7.

[0012] The profiling platform 1 is a rectangular metal plate with two pillar mounting screw holes I1-1 at both ends, which are countersunk screw holes opened from bottom to top and are used to install pillars 3; a product profiling positioning device 2 is set on the upper plane of the profiling platform. The product profiling positioning device 2 is usually a profiling groove opened by machine processing, which is used to place and fix the product 8 to be cut into a gate. The shape of the profiling groove can be opened according to different product shapes. The product profiling positioning device is not limited to the slotted form and can also be replaced by other fixtures.

[0013] The operation switch 7 is arranged in the circular hole 1-2 at the front end of the profiling platform 1, and is connected to the downward pressure cylinder control circuit to control the downward pressure cylinder; the operation switch 7 is usually set to two, which need to be operated with both hands. The two-hand switch is a safety switch system, which requires the operator to press the switch button with both hands at the same time to start or stop the operation of the machine. Such a design is intended to ensure that the operator's hands are away from the dangerous area of ​​the machine, thereby reducing the risk of accidental injury.

[0014] The top surface platform 4 is a rectangular platform, which is horizontally arranged parallel to the contoured platform 1 and is connected and supported by pillars 3. Two pillar mounting screw holes II4-1 are respectively provided at both ends of the top surface platform 4 for installing the pillars 3. A plurality of groups of cylinder mounting screw holes 4-2 are provided in the middle position of the top surface platform 4, with four in each group for fixing the downward pressure cylinder by screws. The pillar mounting screw holes 4-1 and the cylinder mounting screw holes 4-2 are both countersunk holes opened from top to bottom.

[0015] The support column 3 is usually configured as a cylinder, and threaded blind holes 3 - 1 are respectively provided at the top of both ends of the cylinder, which are used to be fixed to the contoured platform 1 and the top surface platform 4 respectively by screws.

[0016] The downward pressure cylinder 5 is installed at the bottom of the top platform 4. The downward pressure cylinder 5 is vertically arranged relative to the top platform 4. One end of the piston rod 5-1 of the downward pressure cylinder 4 is downward, and the position corresponds to the gate to be cut one by one. A cutter 6 is installed on the top of the piston rod 5-1, and the blade is aligned with the gate cutting part 2-1 of the product profiling positioning device.

[0017] Embodiment: When in use, first place the tool on the working platform, put the product 8 to be cut into the product profiling positioning device 2, and the operator presses the operation switch 7 with both hands to start the tool. The downward pressure cylinder 5 fixed on the top surface platform 4 drives the cutter 6 on the piston rod 5-1 to press down, and the gate 8-1 is cut off from the root, and then withdrawn to take out the product, completing the entire automatic gate cutting operation.
