DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device for a blow molding machine, which can solve the problem that the screw feeders and belt feeders commonly used in the related art are often bulky and occupy a large factory space, so that the use of manual feeding will lead to reduced production efficiency.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A feeding device for a blow molding machine includes: a gantry 1, a driving member 2, a lifting mechanism 3, an electromagnetic suction cup 4 and a material box 5, wherein the driving member 2 is arranged on the gantry 1, the driving member 2 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3, and the driving member 2 is used to drive the lifting mechanism 3 to move along the length direction of the gantry 1, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the electromagnetic suction cup 4 and is used to drive the electromagnetic suction cup 4 to move along the height direction of the gantry 1, and the electromagnetic suction cup 4 is used to adsorb the material box 5.

[0026] First, the gantry 1, as the main structure of the entire device, provides a stable installation platform for other components. The driving member 2 is installed on the gantry 1, which is the power source of the entire feeding device. The driving member 2 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3, so that the lifting mechanism 3 can move in the length direction of the gantry 1. Driven by the driving member 2, the lifting mechanism 3 can be moved horizontally to a specified position to adapt to material boxes 5 at different positions or heights. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the electromagnetic suction cup 4. The electromagnetic suction cup 4 is a device that can generate magnetic force. When powered on, it can absorb ferromagnetic materials, such as the material box 5. The lifting mechanism 3 is not only responsible for connecting the electromagnetic suction cup 4, but also responsible for driving the electromagnetic suction cup 4 to move in the height direction of the gantry 1.

[0027] When loading is required, the driving member 2 first drives the lifting mechanism 3 to move above the material box 5. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 descends, so that the electromagnetic suction cup 4 approaches the material box 5. When the electromagnetic suction cup 4 is powered on, it generates magnetic force to absorb the material box 5. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 rises to lift the material box 5. Finally, the driving member 2 drives the lifting mechanism 3 to move horizontally again, and moves the material box 5 to the specified position of the blow molding machine to complete the loading operation.

[0028] During the entire working process, the driving member 2, the lifting mechanism 3 and the electromagnetic sucker 4 work together to achieve accurate grasping, lifting and moving of the material box 5, which not only improves the efficiency of loading, but also reduces the difficulty and risk of manual operation, making the production of the blow molding machine more automated and efficient. In addition, by adopting the gantry structure design, the entire device can be compactly installed on the upper part of the blow molding machine without occupying too much space. This effectively solves the problem of limited plant space in a production environment with limited plant space or compact layout, and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving member 2 includes a power source 21, a screw rod 22 and a movable slider 23. The screw rod 22 is rotatably arranged above the gantry 1. The power source 21 is connected to the screw rod 22 and is used to drive the screw rod 22 to rotate. The movable slider 23 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 22, and the lifting mechanism 3 is arranged at one end of the movable slider 23.

[0030] In actual use, when the power source 21 is started, it drives the screw rod 22 to rotate above the gantry 1, and through the threaded rotation thrust of the screw rod 22, drives the moving slider 23 to perform precise linear movement along the axis direction of the screw rod 22, so when the moving slider 23 moves under the drive of the screw rod 22, the lifting mechanism 3 will also move accordingly. This allows the lifting mechanism 3 to be accurately positioned in the length direction of the gantry 1, providing a stable foundation for the subsequent grabbing and moving operations of the material box 5.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a counterweight block 6 is provided at the other end of the movable slider 23.

[0032] The counterweight block 6 can be used to balance the weight of the movable slider 23 and the lifting mechanism 3, which helps to reduce the power required by the screw rod 22 to drive the movable slider 23 to move and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the balanced weight distribution also helps to improve the stability of the entire system. In addition, the setting of the counterweight block 6 can optimize the center of gravity position of the entire device, so that the movable slider 23 moves more smoothly on the screw rod 22, reducing shaking or deviation caused by the offset of the center of gravity.

[0033] It should be noted that the movable slider 23 in this embodiment includes a support plate and a connecting block connected to each other, and a threaded groove compatible with the screw rod 22 is opened inside the connecting block, wherein the lifting mechanism 3 and the counterweight block 6 are relatively arranged at the bottom of the two ends of the support plate.

[0034] When the screw rod 22 rotates, the threaded rotation thrust of the screw rod 22 drives the connecting block to move along the axial direction of the screw rod 22 , thereby driving the support plate, the lifting mechanism 3 and the counterweight block 6 to move along the axial direction of the screw rod 22 at the same time.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the power source 21 in this embodiment includes a drive motor and a reducer connected to each other, the reducer is arranged on the gantry 1, the drive motor output shaft is connected to the reducer input shaft, and the reducer output shaft is connected to one end of the screw rod 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, the power source 21 includes a drive motor and a reducer connected to each other. The reducer is arranged on the gantry 1. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to one end of the screw rod 22.

[0037] In actual operation, the drive motor is turned on, the reducer input shaft is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the reducer output shaft drives the screw 22 to rotate. The main function of the reducer is to reduce the speed of the drive motor and increase the torque so that the screw 22 can rotate at a suitable speed and force.

[0038] It should be noted that a group of mounting plates are relatively arranged on the top of the gantry 1 in this embodiment, the screw rod 22 is rotatably arranged between the mounting plates, and the reducer is arranged on one side of the mounting plate.

[0039] A set of sliding rods are arranged between the mounting plates, the screw rod 22 is located between the two sliding rods, a matching sliding ring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod, and the top end of the sliding rod is connected to the support plate.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 includes an electric push rod 31 and a fixing frame 32 , the piston rod of the electric push rod 31 is connected to the fixing frame 32 , and the electromagnetic suction cup 4 is arranged on the fixing frame 32 .

[0041] The electromagnetic chuck 4 is driven by the electric push rod 31 to adjust the height, and the electric push rod 31 is connected to the electromagnetic chuck through the fixing frame 32 .

[0042] It is understandable that the working principle of the electromagnetic chuck is mainly based on the electromagnetic principle. Specifically, when the internal coil of the electromagnetic chuck is energized, magnetic force is generated. This magnetic force passes through the magnetic conductive panel, so that the workpiece in contact with the surface of the panel is tightly sucked. When the coil is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, and the workpiece can be easily removed. The electromagnetic chuck is mainly composed of a bottom shell, an iron core, a coil, a panel, and a junction box. When powered on, current passes through the coil, forming a magnetic field inside the coil. This magnetic field generates an interaction force with the iron core or iron workpiece, thereby realizing the adsorption function. By adjusting the magnitude of the current, the strength of the magnetic field can be controlled, and then the adsorption force of the chuck can be controlled. This is a prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a feeding port is arranged on the top of the material box 5, and the material box 5 is provided with an opening.

[0044] The material box 5 serves as a container for storing and transporting raw materials. The feeding port set on the top of the material box 5 provides convenience for adding raw materials. The material box 5 is provided with an opening. The position and size of the opening need to be determined according to the position and size of the feed port of the blow molding machine to ensure that the material box can accurately transport the raw materials to the feed port of the blow molding machine.

[0045] After the lifting mechanism 3 lifts the material box 5 to a specified position, the opening will be aligned with the feed port of the blow molding machine, and then the material box is tilted or rotated to allow the raw materials to flow out of the opening and enter the blow molding machine.

[0046] In addition, the material box 5 is made of magnetic material, so it can be used in conjunction with the electromagnetic suction cup 4.

[0047] Preferred as Figure 4As shown, the regulating mechanism 7 in this embodiment includes a shell 71, a rotating shaft 72, a guide plate 73, a baffle 74 and a second driving motor 75, the shell 71 is arranged on the material box 5, the rotating shaft 72 is rotatably arranged inside the shell 71, the guide plate 73 is arranged on the rotating shaft 72, the baffle 74 abuts against the bottom of the material box 5 and is used to close the bottom opening of the material box 5, one end of the guide plate 73 is connected to the baffle 74, the second driving motor 75 is arranged on the shell 71, the output shaft of the second driving motor 75 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 72 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 72 to rotate, wherein an opening is provided on the side of the shell 71 away from the material box 5, the guide plate 73 is adapted to the opening on one side of the shell 71, and the guide plate 73 is arranged at an angle.

[0048] By controlling the movement of the baffle 74, the bottom opening of the material box 5 is opened and closed, thereby controlling the outflow of the material and achieving regulation of the material flow.

[0049] In actual operation, when the motor is started and powered on, its output shaft starts to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 72 to rotate inside the housing 71. Since the guide plate 73 is arranged on the rotating shaft 72 and one end of the guide plate 73 is connected to the baffle 74,

[0050] When the guide plate 73 follows the rotating shaft 72 to flip, the guide plate 73 moves downward away from the end of the material box 5, driving the baffle 74 to flip, so that the ends of the two baffles 74 that are close to each other move downward at the same time, thereby opening the opening at the bottom of the material box 5; conversely, when the guide plate 73 moves upward away from the end of the material box 5, the ends of the two baffles 74 that are close to each other move upward at the same time, thereby closing the opening at the bottom of the material box 5.
