Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tooling, and particularly to a material receiving device. Background Art
[0002] When producing or processing parts with a mold, after the mold is opened, the product usually remains on the moving mold or the fixed mold. Especially for injection molds, an ejection mechanism is required to eject the product out of the cavity so that the product can be separated from the mold. If the mold is opened horizontally, the product will automatically fall after being ejected from the cavity. For easily damaged products, a material receiving device needs to be placed in front of the moving mold after the mold is opened, and the product directly enters the material receiving device for collection. Some molds eject the product by the movement of a plate.
[0003] The traditional material receiving device remains stationary after the manipulator moves it to a certain position. Some molds eject the product by the movement of a plate. When the mold ejects the product, a large gap will be generated between the material receiving device and the mold, and the product is likely to fall to the ground from the gap, resulting in poor appearance of the product.
[0004] In addition, the traditional material receiving device has a single size and is usually designed specifically for a certain product, unable to be compatible with the material receiving of different products, with a single function and high development cost. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a material receiving device, which mainly solves the problem of large gap between the material receiving device and the mold and easy falling of the product.

[0012] Further, the first bottom plate includes a horizontal portion and an inclined portion. The horizontal portion and the inclined portion are connected at an obtuse angle. The horizontal portion is connected to the first back plate. The inclined portion gradually increases in distance from the first back plate from bottom to top. The upper end of the inclined portion protrudes from the first side plates and the second side plates. The second bottom plate includes a horizontal portion and an inclined portion. The horizontal portion and the inclined portion are connected at an obtuse angle. The horizontal portion is connected to the second back plate. The inclined portion gradually increases in distance from the second back plate from bottom to top. The upper end of the inclined portion protrudes from the first side plates and the second side plates.
[0013] Further, a U-shaped chute is provided at the upper end of the inclined portion of the first bottom plate. The upper end of the second bottom plate is located in the U-shaped chute, and the U-shaped chute guides the sliding of the second bottom plate.
[0014] Further, a plurality of first partition plates are provided between the first top plate and the first bottom plate. The first partition plates are fixedly connected to the first side plates.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
[0024] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a material receiving device 100 includes a vertical fixing plate 1, an elastic component 2, and a material receiving frame. The material receiving frame is located on one side of the vertical fixing plate 1, and the elastic component 2 is located between the material receiving frame and the vertical fixing plate 1. The material receiving frame can reciprocate relative to the vertical fixing plate 1 through the elastic deformation of the elastic component 2. After the mold is opened, the product remains on the moving mold 200. The material receiving device is moved to the front of the moving mold 200 by a manipulator. The material receiving frame is attached to the moving mold 200. Then, the moving mold 200 acts, and the ejector pin or other product ejection mechanisms eject the product from the moving mold 200, and the product falls into the material receiving frame. When the plate of the moving mold 200 (such as the plate 300 for pushing the product out of the moving mold 200) moves, it pushes the material receiving frame to move. Since the elastic component 2 pushes against the material receiving frame, the material receiving frame always remains in a state of closely adhering to the moving mold 200, and no gap for the product to fall is generated between the material receiving frame and the moving mold 200, ensuring that all products fall into the material receiving frame, avoiding the problem of poor appearance caused by product dropping, and being beneficial to fully automated production.
[0025] In this embodiment, a plurality of linear bearings are installed on the vertical fixing plate 1, and a plurality of guide posts 4 are installed on the material frame. The guide posts 4 are inserted into the inner holes of the linear bearings. The elastic member 2 is a linear spring, and the linear spring is sleeved on the guide post 4. The elastic member 2 is not limited to a linear spring. For example, a polymer elastic block or a metal elastic sheet can also be used. Preferably, the vertical fixing plate 1 is of a square structure, and linear bearings are provided at the four corners of the vertical fixing plate 1, and a guide post 4 is provided in each linear bearing. Multiple guide posts 4 are used for guiding, so that the movement of the material frame is stable.
[0026] In a specific structure, the material frame includes a first part and a second part. The first part and the second part are combined into a four-direction frame structure. The second part is slidably connected to the first part in the horizontal direction, so that the width of the material frame is adjustable, and it can adapt to the receiving of multiple products, increasing the practicability. The four guide posts 4 are fixedly connected to the first part or the second part of the material frame.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first part includes a first back plate 3, a first side plate 5, a first top plate 6 and a first bottom plate 7. The first side plate 5 is connected to one side of the first back plate 3. The first top plate 6 and the first bottom plate 7 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the first back plate 3 and are connected to the first side plate 5. The second part includes a second back plate 8, a second side plate 9, a second top plate 10 and a second bottom plate 11. The second back plate 8 is located on the side of the first back plate 3 facing away from the vertical fixing plate 1. The second side plate 9 is connected to the side of the second back plate 8 away from the first side plate 5. The second top plate 10 is attached to the upper surface of the first top plate 6 and is connected to the second side plate 9. The second bottom plate 11 is attached to the upper surface of the first bottom plate 7 and is connected to the second side plate 9 and the second back plate 8. In other embodiments, the structures of the first part and the second part are not limited to this. A plurality of slide rails 13 extending in the horizontal direction are provided on the first back plate 3. The slide rails 13 are configured with sliders 12, and the second back plate 8 is fixedly connected to the sliders 12. In this embodiment, two slide rails 13 are provided on the first back plate 3. In other embodiments, the number of slide rails 13 is not limited to this. The second part slides along the slide rails, thereby changing the size of the material frame to adapt to products of different sizes.
[0028] Some molds have multiple cavities for molding different products. In order to classify and collect different products and avoid subsequent product classification, partitions need to be provided in the material frame. Specifically, a plurality of first partitions 14 are provided between the first top plate 6 and the first bottom plate 7. The first partitions 14 are fixedly connected to the first side plate 5. There is a gap between the first partitions 14 and the first back plate 3 for the second back plate 8 to pass through. A plurality of second partitions 15 are provided between the second top plate 10 and the second bottom plate 11. The second partitions 15 are fixedly connected to the second back plate 8 and the second side plate 9. The second partitions 15 are attached to the upper surface or the lower surface of the first partitions 14.
[0029] After all the products have fallen into the material box, a cover plate can be inserted between the material box and the moving mold 200 to cover the material box to prevent the products from falling during the movement of the material box. In this embodiment, the first bottom plate 7 includes a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, the horizontal portion and the inclined portion are connected at an obtuse angle, the horizontal portion is connected to the first back plate 3, the inclined portion gradually increases in indirect distance from bottom to top with the first back plate 3, and the upper end of the inclined portion protrudes from the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 9; the second bottom plate 11 includes a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, the horizontal portion and the inclined portion are connected at an obtuse angle, the horizontal portion is connected to the second back plate 8, the inclined portion gradually increases in indirect distance from bottom to top with the second back plate 8, and the upper end of the inclined portion protrudes from the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 9. In this way, the products will be blocked by the inclined portions of the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 11 and will not fall, eliminating the need for a cover plate. The upper ends of the inclined portions of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate 11 protrude from the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 9. When the material receiving device 100 moves from bottom to top to the front of the moving mold 200 and the upper ends of the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 11 contact the moving mold 200, the material receiving device 100 moves to a predetermined position. The products can slide along the inclined portions of the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 11 into the material box, reducing damage to the products.
[0030] Both the first partition plate 14 and the second partition plate 15 include a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, the horizontal portion and the inclined portion are connected at an obtuse angle, the horizontal portion is connected to the first back plate 3, and the inclined portion gradually increases in indirect distance from bottom to top with the first back plate 3 to prevent the products from falling.
[0031] Preferably, a U-shaped chute is provided at the upper end of the inclined portion of the first bottom plate 7, and the upper end of the second bottom plate 11 is located in the U-shaped chute. The U-shaped chute guides the sliding of the second bottom plate 11 to prevent the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 11 from deforming after the products are loaded, resulting in unsmooth sliding of the second bottom plate 11. Similarly, a U-shaped chute is provided at the upper end of the inclined portion of the first partition plate 14, and the upper end of the second partition plate 15 is located in the U-shaped chute. The U-shaped chute guides the sliding of the second partition plate 15 to prevent the first partition plate 14 and the second partition plate 15 from deforming after the products are loaded, resulting in unsmooth sliding of the second partition plate 15.
