Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rubber injection molding machines, in particular to an automatic feeding device for rubber injection molding machines. Background Art

[0002] At present, rubber injection molding equipment with large injection volume is large in size, and the feeding port is generally located in the top platform area of ​​the equipment. The height of this area is relatively high, generally more than 2 meters. It is necessary to use the stair handrail to enter the platform before manually feeding the long strip of rubber raw materials into the feeding port. After starting the injection molding machine, the material receiving mechanism will operate to continuously pull the rubber raw materials entering the feeding port into the injection molding machine before production can begin.

[0003] When feeding in longer strips of rubber raw materials, there will be many bends in the rubber raw material feeding path, resulting in greater resistance to the receiving mechanism when pulling the rubber raw materials into the injection molding machine. The feeding process takes a long time, and when feeding short materials, tail materials, or changing raw materials of different specifications, it is necessary to go back and forth many times. The defects are particularly prominent, the labor intensity of the operators is high, and the production efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0008] The vertical feeding assembly includes a vertical linear module, a clamp mounting vertical rod and a clamp mounting cross rod. The vertical linear module is integrally fixed to the lateral displacement slide of the lateral feeding assembly. The vertical linear module is provided with a clamp mounting vertical rod.

The lower end of the clamp mounting vertical rod is fixedly connected to one end of the clamp mounting cross rod. The other end of the clamp mounting cross rod faces the feed port of the injection molding machine and is provided with the feeding clamp.

[0009] A further solution is: in order to improve the working efficiency of the clamping jaws, the clamping gap of the clamping part needs to be adjusted for strip rubber materials of different thicknesses. The feeding clamping jaws include a clamping jaw seat, a clamping block, a clamping roller, a telescopic screw, a compression spring and a telescopic cylinder. The front end of the clamping jaw seat is provided with a notch, and the rear end is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw mounting cross bar. Two convex columns are provided on the upper surface of one side of the notch of the clamping jaw seat, and the side surfaces of the convex columns are respectively provided with transverse screw holes. A clamping block is provided in the notch of the clamping jaw seat. The clamping block is a long column with an inverted L-shaped cross section, with a handle at the upper end and a clamping part at the lower end.

The lower end surface on the other side of the notch of the claw seat and the relative position of the clamping roller on the lower end surface of the clamping block are also provided with three corresponding clamping rollers that rotate unidirectionally in the clockwise direction, which are used to clamp the strip rubber material and prevent the rubber material from retreating due to its own gravity. The adjusting screw is a T-shaped adjusting screw, one end of the adjusting screw passes through the screw hole on the convex column and is fixed with an adjusting nut, and the other end passes through the clamping spring and is pressed on one side of the upper end handle of the clamping block. A telescopic cylinder is provided on the other side of the upper end handle of the clamping block, and the clamping block is clamped by applying force on both sides of the clamping block handle through the telescopic cylinder and the adjusting screw, and then the clamping force and gap of the clamping roller are controlled by controlling the extension and contraction of the telescopic cylinder and the tightness of the clamping spring.

[0010] A further solution is: in order to avoid bending of the strip rubber at the feed end when feeding long materials, which leads to increased resistance to conveying the rubber on the rubber displacement path, a feeding guide device is also provided on the feed port of the injection molding machine, and the feeding guide device includes a connecting seat fixed to the feed port of the injection molding machine, a roller assembly, a roller mounting column and a guide roller, the connecting seat is in the shape of a rectangular plate, and a through hole consistent with the shape and size of the feed port is provided on the connecting seat, and the through hole on the connecting seat is aligned with the feed port, one end of the roller mounting column is vertically and detachably fixed to the flat plate on the lower side of the through hole of the connecting seat, a plurality of roller assemblies are arranged on the roller mounting column along an axial straight line, and a roller track aligned with the feed port is formed on the upper side of the roller mounting column, and a guide roller is provided at the end on the other side of the roller mounting column, which is used for guiding the subsequent strip rubber after the strip rubber enters the feed port, so as to reduce the bending resistance of the strip rubber during the material collection process.

[0011] A further solution is: it also includes a PLC control system for controlling automatic feeding, automatic clamping, action rhythm, detecting the position and length of the material, and ensuring that the feeding mechanism can accurately deliver the material to the designated position.

[0012] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the operator controls the vertical rod for mounting the clamps on the vertical linear module to extend and descend. After the feeding clamps are lowered to a low position, the operator places the head of the strip rubber material between the clamping rollers of the clamping block and the clamping roller seat, and then controls the clamping gap between the clamping rollers by controlling the extension and contraction amount of the telescopic cylinder to clamp the strip rubber material of different thicknesses. After the head of the strip rubber material on the feeding clamp is clamped, the feeding clamp is lifted to be aligned with the feed inlet by controlling the vertical rod for mounting the clamps on the vertical linear module to contract, and then the horizontal linear module is controlled to move the vertical feeding assembly as a whole installed on the horizontal displacement slide table to approach the feed inlet with the feeding clamp as a whole. When the head of the strip rubber material clamped by the feeding clamp enters the feed inlet, the receiving mechanism of the rubber injection molding machine is started, and the receiving mechanism of the rubber injection molding machine operates to pull the strip rubber material into it, thus completing the feeding operation.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the extension and retraction of the vertical rod for mounting the clamp is controlled by the vertical linear module, and at the same time the vertical feeding assembly is controlled by the horizontal linear module to bring the feeding clamp as a whole closer to or farther away from the feeding port of the rubber injection molding machine in a linear direction, thereby completing the feeding operation of the strip rubber material and realizing remote control operation. When feeding short materials, tail materials or replacing raw materials of different specifications, it is only necessary to control the displacement of the clamp, without the need for the operator to go back and forth many times, so the labor intensity of the operator is low and the production efficiency is high.
