DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3An automatic demoulding device includes a robot arm 1, a demoulding plate 2 is fixed on the moving end of the robot arm 1, the demoulding plate 2 is a hollow structure, a sealing cylinder 3 is fixed on the robot arm 1, and a first sliding plug 4 is connected to the sealing cylinder 3 in a sealing and sliding manner. A cylinder 5 is also installed on the robot arm 1, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 5 is connected to the first sliding plug 4. An air pipe 6 is connected to the sealing cylinder 3, and the end of the air pipe 6 away from the sealing cylinder 3 is connected to the inside of the demoulding plate 2. The air pipe 6 is a hose. When the cylinder 5 is running, it can drive the first sliding plug 4 to move. When the first sliding plug 4 moves, it can perform a vacuum action and extract the air inside the demoulding plate 2 through the air pipe 6.

[0021] The stripping plate 2 is provided with a plurality of stripping structures, which include an outer cylinder 71, a second sliding plug 72, a connecting rod 73, a flexible head 74, a suction cup 75, a spring 76 and a mounting tube 77. The outer cylinder 71 is fixed to the side of the stripping plate 2, and the outer cylinder 71 is connected to the inside of the stripping plate 2. The second sliding plug 72 is sealingly slidably connected to the inner surface of the outer cylinder 71. One end of the connecting rod 73 is fixedly connected to the second sliding plug 72, and the other end extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 71. The flexible head 74 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 73 located outside the outer cylinder 71. The suction cup 75 and the connecting rod 73 are connected. The flexible headband 74 is connected with the suction cup 75 through a flexible headband 74, which is made of a flexible material. The design of the flexible headband 74 enables the suction cup 75 to deflect, which is conducive to the comprehensive adsorption of the suction cup 75 on the finished product. The suction cup 75 is fixed on the flexible headband 74, one end of the spring 76 is connected with the outer cylinder 71, and the other end is connected with the second sliding plug 72. One end of the mounting tube 77 is connected with the suction cup 75, and the other end extends to the interior of the outer cylinder 71. The mounting tube 77 passes through the flexible headband 74, the connecting rod 73 and the second sliding plug 72, and a plurality of outer cylinders 71 are evenly distributed on the stripping template 2.

[0022] Several demolding structures are provided with a blocking assembly, which includes a fixing ring 81, a blocking plate 82 and a connecting rod 83. The fixing ring 81 is fixed to the inner surface of the outer cylinder 71, and the blocking plate 82 is placed inside the outer cylinder 71, and the blocking plate 82 is arranged opposite to the fixing ring 81. The blocking plate 82 is made of rubber material, one end of the connecting rod 83 is fixedly connected to the second sliding plug 72, and the other end is fixedly connected to the blocking plate 82. The connecting rod 73 facing the finished product will be retracted into the corresponding outer cylinder 71. When the connecting rod 73 moves, it can drive the second sliding plug 72 to move. When the second sliding plug 72 moves, it can drive the blocking plate 82 to move through the connecting rod 83, so that the blocking plate 82 and the fixing ring 81 are separated from each other, while the remaining blocking plates 82 will not be separated from the corresponding fixing ring 81. They will fit tightly with the fixing ring 81 under the action of the corresponding spring 76. At this time, the gas cannot flow through the fixing ring 81 and the blocking plate 82.

[0023] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0024] When the injection molded product is demoulded, the robot arm 1 is first started to move the demoulding plate 2 to the top of the mold, and then the robot arm 1 drives the demoulding plate 2 to move downward. During the downward movement of the demoulding plate 2, the suction cup 75 facing the finished product will first contact the finished product and fit with the surface of the finished product. At this time, the finished product will hinder the movement of the suction cup 75. The demoulding plate 2 continues to move downward, and the connecting rod 73 facing the finished product will be retracted into the corresponding outer cylinder 71. When the connecting rod 73 moves, it can drive the second sliding plug 72 to move. When the second sliding plug 72 moves, it can drive the blocking plate 82 to move through the connecting rod 83, so that the blocking plate 82 and the fixing ring 81 are separated from each other, while the remaining blocking plates 82 will not be separated from the corresponding fixing ring 81. They will fit tightly with the fixing ring 81 under the action of the corresponding springs 76. At this time, the gas cannot flow through the fixing ring 81 and the blocking plate 82.

[0025] When the suction cups 75 facing the finished product are all in contact with the finished product, the robot arm 1 stops running, and then the cylinder 5 starts running. When the cylinder 5 is running, it can drive the first sliding plug 4 to move. When the first sliding plug 4 moves, it can perform a vacuum action and extract the air inside the stripping plate 2 through the air pipe 6. Since the sealing plate 82 facing the finished product has been separated from the corresponding fixing ring 81, the gas in the outer cylinder 71 facing the finished product can be extracted, and the suction cup 75 adsorbed on the finished product will suck the finished product under the action of negative pressure. Further, the robot arm 1 drives the stripping plate 2 to move upward, and the several suction cups 75 adsorbing the finished product can jointly pull the finished product out of the mold, thereby completing the demoulding. Since the several suction cups 75 adsorbing the finished product are evenly distributed, the multiple suction cups 75 can evenly apply pulling force to the finished product, ensuring the demoulding effect of the device on the finished product.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the suction cup 75 is connected to the connecting rod 73 through a flexible head package 74. The flexible head package 74 is made of flexible material. The design of the flexible head package 74 enables the suction cup 75 to be deflected, which is conducive to the comprehensive adsorption of the suction cup 75 on the finished product.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
