Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical arms, in particular to an automatic material taking mechanical arm for an injection molding machine. Background Art
[0002] Injection molding machine is also known as injection molding machine or injection machine. It is the main molding equipment that uses plastic molding molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics. First, add granular or powdered plastics into the barrel, and the plastic becomes molten through the rotation of the screw and the heating of the outer wall of the barrel. Then the machine closes the mold and moves the injection seat forward, so that the nozzle is close to the gate of the mold. Then, pressurized oil is passed into the injection cylinder to push the screw forward, so that the molten material is injected into the closed mold with a lower temperature at a very high pressure and a faster speed. After a certain period of time and pressure maintenance (also known as pressure holding), cooling, it solidifies and forms, and then the mold can be opened to take out the product (the purpose of pressure holding is to prevent the backflow of the molten material in the mold cavity, add materials to the mold cavity, and ensure that the product has a certain density and dimensional tolerance). Injection molding is a cyclic process, and each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding-melting plasticization-pressure injection-mold filling cooling-mold opening and taking out the parts. After taking out the plastic parts, the mold is closed again for the next cycle.
