One end of the long plate 34 is provided with a jaw cylinder 35. The output end of the jaw cylinder 35 is connected with a clamping piece 36. An arc groove 37 is arranged on the opposite side of the clamping piece 36. A second pair of clamping cylinders 38 is arranged on the opposite side of the long plate 34. The output end of the second pair of clamping cylinders 38 is connected with a second clamping plate 39. First, it is fixedly connected to the long plate 34 through the rotating shaft of the manipulator 1. After the second pair of clamping cylinders 38 grabs the sprue of the product first, that is, the clamping pieces 36 are respectively installed on the two jaws of the clamping cylinder. When one ends of the arc grooves 37 approach each other, the sprue can be fixed. Then, the product is taken out by moving the manipulator 1. The taken-out product is grabbed onto the sprue cutting device 5, as Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the sprue cutting device 5 includes a placement table 40. A pressing cylinder 41 is arranged on the placement table 40. The output end of the pressing cylinder 41 is connected with a cutting knife 42. A sliding mechanism 43 is arranged on the placement table 40. A placement plate 44 is arranged on the sliding mechanism 43. The grabbed product is placed on the placement plate 44. The sliding mechanism 43 can be a slide rail 12 cooperating with a sliding plate. By setting a cylinder to pull the sliding plate, or using a sliding module, the placement plate 44 moves to the lower part of the cutting knife 42. The number and position of the pressing cylinders 41 are set according to the position of the product sprue. After the pressing cylinder 41 presses down to cut off the sprue, the manipulator 1 rotates the long plate 34 to align the second pair of clamping cylinders 38 with both sides of the product. By extending the second pair of clamping cylinders 38, both sides of the product are clamped, and the product is transported to the palletizing table 4 by the manipulator 1. A conveying rack 6 is also arranged at one end of the palletizing table 4.

[0028] A palletizing rack is fixedly connected to the palletizing table 4. A sliding grabbing device 7 is arranged on one side of the palletizing rack.

One end of the sliding table 29 is on the palletizing table 4, and the other end passes through the palletizer and extends to the other side of the palletizing rack. A vertical module 30 is connected to the slider of the sliding table 29. A plate body 31 is connected to the vertical module 30. First pairs of clamping cylinders 32 are respectively connected to the four sides of the plate body 31. The output ends of the first pairs of clamping cylinders 32 are connected with first clamping plates 33. The vertical module 30 can control the up and down movement of the plate body 31 to facilitate grabbing the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9. The heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 can be effectively clamped by two groups of first pairs of clamping cylinders 32.

[0029] In addition, the palletizing rack includes vertical baffles 8 arranged in a square. The vertical baffles 8 are perpendicular to the palletizing table 4. The four vertical baffles 8 are arranged at the four corners of a rectangle to form a receiving cavity for receiving stacked heat dissipation aluminum plates 9. The structure of the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is as Figure 5As shown, it includes a plate body 31, and the center of the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is provided with a through hole 23. The product is placed on the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9, and the through hole 23 can facilitate the stacked products to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The slide plate 13 is connected to a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is provided with a top plate 15 for supporting the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9. The lifting mechanism drives the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 to rise to the upper part of the limit tongue 10.

[0030] In order to detect the injection molding integrity of the injection molded product throughout the entire process, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a lifting weighing cylinder 26 is also arranged on both sides of the slide rail 12, and a lifting plate 27 is connected to the output end of the lifting weighing cylinder 26, and a weighing sensor 28 is arranged on the lifting plate 27. In the initial state, the lifting weighing cylinder 26 extends to lift the lifting plate 27 and make it higher than the height of the top plate 15. When the manipulator 1 grabs the product after the water outlet is cut off, it is first placed on the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 on the lifting plate 27 (the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is grabbed from the top of the stacking frame by the sliding grabbing device 7 and placed on the lifting plate 27). After weighing by the weighing sensor 28, the completeness of the injection amount is determined. If the weight meets the standard, it is judged that the injection is complete and meets the requirements. Then, the lifting weighing cylinder 26 is contracted, so that the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 falls onto the top plate 15, and the stacking platform 4 is An opening 11 is provided, and slide rails 12 are provided on both sides of the opening 11. A slide plate 13 is slidably connected to the slide rails 12. A push-pull cylinder 14 is connected to the lower part of the slide plate 13. The push-pull cylinder 14 pulls the slide plate 13 to move to the bottom of the accommodating cavity. After reaching the bottom, it is lifted up by the jacking mechanism connected to the lower part of the sliding plate and sent into the accommodating cavity. Specifically: the output end of the jacking cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the top plate 15, and a plurality of guide pillars 21 are provided between the top plate 15 and the slide plate 13. The guide pillars 21 are conducive to the stability of lifting and lowering. A toggle plate 22 is provided on the side of the top plate 15 away from the accommodating cavity. The toggle plate 22 limits the position of the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 to prevent the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 from accidentally touching and falling when moving it into the accommodating cavity. Limiting tongues 10 are relatively provided on both sides of the bottom of the accommodating cavity, such as Figure 8As shown, the limit tongue 10 includes a housing 16. A telescopic block 17 is provided inside the housing 16. One end of the end of the telescopic block 17 is provided with a spring 18 and is pressed inside the housing 16, and the other end is provided with a wedge surface 19 and extends out of the housing 16. The wedge surface 19 faces downward. When the lower heat dissipation aluminum sheet pushes the injection molded product upward, it will push the wedge surfaces 19 of the telescopic blocks 17 on both sides, and will push the telescopic block 17 to squeeze the spring 18 to contract. When the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is gradually pushed to the upper part of the telescopic block 17, the telescopic block 17 extends out due to the action of the spring 18 to support the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9. Repeat the above actions to gradually stack the heat dissipation aluminum plates 9, and the injection molded products are respectively pressed between two heat dissipation aluminum plates 9. A connecting plate 24 is provided between the vertical baffles 8 on both sides of the stacked heat dissipation aluminum plates 9. A number of fans 25 are arranged on the connecting plate 24. The fans 25 continuously blow air to the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 to continuously cool down during the stacking process. The products lifted to the best position are grabbed by the sliding grasping device 7 beside and placed on the conveying rack 6. The conveying rack 6 can be a conveying structure such as a belt conveyor. After the injection molded product is conveyed away, the top heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is grabbed by the sliding grasping device 7 and placed on the top plate 15 of the lower sliding plate to continue loading products.

[0031] In this device, after the manipulator 1 grabs the products from two injection molding machines 3, it sends them to the gate cutting device 5 to cut the gates. Then, it is grabbed by the manipulator 1 and placed on the palletizing table 4 for weighing. After weighing, it pushes the sliding plate 13 to drive the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 to jack up the accommodation cavity and then palletize. During the palletizing process, the fans 25 continuously blow air for heat dissipation, and the upper and lower heat dissipation aluminum plates 9 are pressed tightly to cool down. On the one hand, it improves the heat dissipation efficiency, and on the other hand, it can slightly squeeze and shape the products to prevent warping due to uneven temperature drop during the cooling process. The products that reach the top after palletizing are grabbed by the sliding grasping device 7 and placed on the conveyor belt, and then the heat dissipation aluminum plate 9 is grabbed and placed on the lower top plate 15 for continued reuse. After the injection molding of the injection molding machine 3 is initially completed, the products can be taken out and cooled, and the cooling is synchronized with the injection molding, greatly improving the work efficiency.
