Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts manufacturing, in particular to a special gripper device for two-color injection molded parts. Background Art

[0002] EBM industrial fans play an important role in the heat dissipation system of new energy vehicles, ensuring the safety and performance of the vehicles. EBM industrial fans are usually equipped with controllers. As the core control components of the fans, they are responsible for receiving and processing signals from the outside, and controlling parameters such as the rotation speed, wind direction, and switch of the fans according to preset programs, so as to achieve precise and efficient operation. The structure of the controller includes a housing, and an electronic PC control board is installed inside the housing.

[0003] In the related art, the controller housing for EBM industrial fans is usually made by two-color injection molding process. During the injection molding process, the semi-finished workpiece needs to be transferred from the semi-finished injection molding working position to the finished injection molding working position for secondary injection molding. Two gripper devices are respectively equipped at the two injection molding working positions in the two-color injection molding process, which are used for workpiece transfer and transportation, so as to complete the injection molding of two different materials and achieve the appearance effects of different colors and touches.

[0004] However, during the working process of the above two gripper devices, the gripper device at the semi-finished injection molding working position needs to wait for the gripper device at the finished injection molding working position to transfer the finished workpiece first before it can transfer the semi-finished workpiece to the finished injection molding working position. Its production rhythm is discontinuous, and the time consumed for workpiece transfer and transportation is relatively long, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The applicant of the present utility model aims at the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing production technology, and provides a special gripper device for two-color injection molded parts. By setting a first grasping mechanism and a second grasping mechanism, the second grasping mechanism can grasp the finished workpiece while the first grasping mechanism grasps the semi-finished workpiece, so as to compact the production rhythm, save the workpiece transfer time, and improve the production efficiency.

[0037] The following combines with the attached drawings to illustrate the specific embodiments of the present utility model.

[0038] The structure and function of the present utility model are as follows:

[0039] As Figures 1-6 shown, a special gripper device for two-color injection molded parts includes a mounting frame 3 connected to the working end of the manipulator. The bottom of the mounting frame 3 is equipped with a first grasping mechanism 1 and a second grasping mechanism 2 arranged at intervals. The bottom of the mounting frame 3 is equipped with a positioning pin assembly, and the positioning pin assembly corresponds to a first positioning ring assembly arranged at the first injection molding working position, and the positioning pin assembly also corresponds to a second positioning ring assembly arranged at the second injection molding working position; when the positioning pin assembly is docked with the first positioning ring assembly, the first grasping mechanism 1 is aligned with the first injection molding working position, and at the same time, the second grasping mechanism 2 is aligned with the second injection molding working position. The manipulator drives the first grasping mechanism 1 and the second grasping mechanism 2 to move simultaneously through the mounting frame 3, so as to simultaneously remove the workpiece at the first injection molding working position and the workpiece at the second injection molding working position; when the positioning pin assembly is docked with the second positioning ring assembly, the first grasping mechanism 1 is aligned with the second injection molding working position. By integrating the first grasping mechanism 1 and the second grasping mechanism 2 on the mounting frame 3 and simultaneously setting the positioning pin assembly and the positioning ring assembly, the present utility model can enable the second grasping mechanism 2 to grasp the finished workpiece while the first grasping mechanism 1 grasps the semi-finished workpiece, thereby compacting the production rhythm, saving the workpiece transfer time, and improving the production efficiency.

[0040] The positioning pin assembly includes several positioning pins 5; the end of a single positioning pin 5 is equipped with several limiting steel balls 6 arranged along the circumference; the first positioning ring assembly includes several first positioning rings 7; the second positioning ring assembly includes several second positioning rings 8. The positioning pin 5 is used to cooperate with the first positioning ring 7 and the second positioning ring 8;

[0041] A single limiting steel ball 6 is assembled with a positioning pin 5 through a spring. When the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the first positioning ring 7 and the second positioning ring 8, the limiting steel ball 6 can fill the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the positioning pin 5 and the inner side wall surface of the positioning ring, improving the positioning accuracy.

[0042] When the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the corresponding first positioning ring 7, it indicates that the first grasping mechanism 1 is already aligned with the first injection molding working position at this time, which can ensure that the first grasping mechanism 1 stably grasps the workpiece at the first injection molding working position.

[0043] When the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the corresponding second positioning ring 8, it indicates that the first grasping mechanism 1 is already aligned with the second injection molding working position at this time, which can ensure that the first grasping mechanism 1 stably places the workpiece already grasped from the first injection molding working position onto the second injection molding working position.

[0044] In order to achieve two-color injection molding in the present utility model, a first injection molding working position and a second injection molding working position are provided inside the injection molding machine. As Figure 6 shown, the first injection molding working position corresponds to the first injection mold (the first injection mold in the attached drawing is a partial structure), the second injection molding working position corresponds to the second injection mold (the first injection mold in the attached drawing is a partial structure), the first positioning ring assembly is arranged on the first injection mold, and the second positioning ring assembly is arranged on the second injection mold.

[0045] A semi-finished workpiece is obtained by injection molding through the first injection mold, and a finished workpiece is obtained by injection molding the semi-finished workpiece through the second injection mold.

[0046] The first grasping mechanism 1 is used to remove the semi-finished workpiece from the first injection molding working position and transfer it to the second injection molding working position for secondary injection molding of the semi-finished workpiece.

[0047] As Figures 3-4 shown, the structure of the first grasping mechanism 1 is as follows: it includes a first fixed seat 101, a first cylinder 103 is fixed on the first fixed seat 101, the output end of the first cylinder 103 is connected to a first movable plate 102, several first spring plungers 105 are assembled on the first movable plate 102, the plunger head of a single first spring plunger 105 is connected to a first suction cup 106, each first suction cup 106 is connected to an external negative pressure source, and several push rods 107 are also assembled on the first movable plate 102, and a rubber head 108 is provided at the end of a single push rod 107. The first fixed seat 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation frame 3 and is used to install the first cylinder 103; the first cylinder 103 drives the first movable plate 102 to move linearly, so that the first suction cups 106 and rubber heads 108 on the first movable plate 102 move linearly closer to or farther away from the workpiece.

[0048] A plurality of first pneumatic clamps 104 are also installed on the first movable plate 102. A gate is installed on the injection mold, and the gate is used for injecting plastic feed. The first pneumatic clamp 104 is used to remove the gate on the first injection mold after one injection molding is completed.

[0049] The rubber head 108 is frustum-shaped. The rubber head 108 is used to push the semi-finished workpiece when the first grasping mechanism 1 places the semi-finished workpiece on the second injection mold, so as to ensure that the semi-finished workpiece can be stuck on the second injection mold.

[0050] The second grasping mechanism 2 is used to grasp the finished workpiece at the second injection working position and transfer the finished workpiece to the centralized storage working position;

[0051] As Figure 5 shown, the structure of the second grasping mechanism 2 is: including a second cylinder 203 fixed to the bottom of the installation frame 3, the output end of the second cylinder 203 is connected to the second movable plate 202, and a suction cup assembly is installed on the second movable plate 202. The suction cup assembly uses a negative pressure adsorption method to suck the corresponding workpiece. In the present invention, the second cylinder 203 is fixed to the bottom of the installation frame 3 through a second fixed seat 201; the second cylinder 203 drives the second movable plate 202 to move linearly, so as to drive the suction cup assembly on the second movable plate 202 to move linearly closer to or away from the workpiece;

[0052] The suction cup assembly includes several second spring plungers 205. The plunger head of a single second spring plunger 205 is connected to the second suction cup 206, and each second suction cup 206 is connected to an external negative pressure source.

[0053] In the present invention, by setting the spring plunger, the corresponding suction cup can move along the axial direction of the spring plunger, so as to buffer when the suction cup contacts the corresponding workpiece.

[0054] The installation frame 3 is quickly disassembled and assembled with the working end of the manipulator through a quick-change disk 4. By setting the quick-change disk 4, the quick disassembly and assembly of the installation frame 3 and the manipulator can be realized, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency can be improved; in addition, in the present invention, a positioning element made of high-strength steel is arranged inside the quick-change disk 4, which is wear-resistant and can realize the high-precision repeat positioning function.

[0055] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0056] As Figure 6 shown, when the injection molding machine completes one injection molding, at this time, the semi-finished workpiece at the first injection working position and the finished workpiece at the second injection working position inside it are simultaneously completed with injection molding;

[0057] The movable mold in the first injection mold drives the semi-finished workpiece to demold, and at the same time, the movable mold in the second injection mold drives the finished workpiece to demold;

[0058] After the demolding is completed, the manipulator drives the first grasping mechanism 1 and the second grasping mechanism 2 to move simultaneously through the mounting frame 3. When the positioning pin assembly is inserted into the first positioning ring assembly, the first cylinder 103 extends, driving the first movable plate 102 to move linearly in the vertical direction towards the semi-finished workpiece, thereby driving the first suction cup 106 towards the semi-finished workpiece until the first suction cup 106 stably sucks the semi-finished workpiece. At this time, there is a gap between the end of the rubber head 108 and the semi-finished workpiece;

[0059] Meanwhile, the second cylinder 203 extends, driving the second movable plate 202 to move linearly in the vertical direction towards the finished workpiece, thereby driving the second suction cup 206 towards the finished workpiece until the second suction cup 206 stably sucks the finished workpiece;

[0060] Subsequently, the manipulator drives the first grasping mechanism 1 and the second grasping mechanism 2 to move simultaneously through the mounting frame 3 again. When the positioning pin assembly is inserted into the second positioning ring assembly, the first cylinder 103 continues to extend, driving the first movable plate 102 to move linearly in the vertical direction towards the second injection mold, thereby driving the semi-finished workpiece close to the second injection mold through the first suction cup 10 until the semi-finished workpiece is placed on the second injection mold;

[0061] Then, the first cylinder 103 continues to extend, driving the first movable plate 102 to move linearly in the vertical direction towards the second injection mold until the end of the rubber head 108 abuts against the semi-finished workpiece on the second injection mold, thereby stably placing the semi-finished workpiece on the second injection mold; At this time, under the action of the first spring plunger 105, the first suction cup 106 can move along the axial direction of the first spring plunger 105, so that the rubber head 108 can contact the workpiece;

[0062] Finally, the manipulator transfers the finished workpiece to the centralized storage working position through the second grasping mechanism 2.

[0063] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. The scope defined by the present utility model can be seen in the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification can be made.
