Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of injection molding pipe fitting production, in particular to an embedded part for female thread elbow pipe fittings and a tooling fixture for taking out the product. Background Art

[0002] During the injection molding process of female thread elbow pipe fittings, metal inserts need to be embedded in the mold before the injection molding machine starts molding. A mold often has multiple cavities and can produce multiple products at one time. In the traditional production model, the inserts need to be embedded in the mold one by one manually. After the product is injection molded, the product needs to be manually taken out, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low production efficiency. In addition, manual labor frequently operates in the mold opening and closing area of the injection molding machine, which also poses certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a tooling fixture for embedding and removing the embedded parts of female threaded elbow pipe fittings. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0004] A tooling fixture for embedding inserts and removing products for female threaded elbow pipe fittings includes a general mounting plate, an insert grabbing module is provided on one side of the general mounting plate, and a gate grabbing module is provided on the other side. The insert grabbing module includes: a plurality of insert grabbing finger cylinders, each of which is equipped with an insert clamp, and the insert clamp grabs the metal insert; the gate grabbing module includes: a finger cylinder for grabbing the middle gate and finger cylinders for grabbing the two side gates located on both sides of the finger cylinder, the finger cylinder for grabbing the middle gate and the finger cylinder for grabbing the two side gates are respectively equipped with a middle gate clamp and two side gate clamps, the middle gate clamp and the two side gate clamps correspond to the middle gate and the two side gates in the mold respectively, so that the product is removed by clamping the gate.

[0005] Furthermore, a connecting portion is provided at the lower end of the general mounting plate, and the connecting portion is connected to an external robot or a robotic arm.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting portion is integrally connected to the main mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, support shafts are fixed around the other side of the general mounting plate, and a product limiting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the support shaft. Holes and grooves corresponding to the middle gate clamps and the gate clamps on both sides are reserved on the product limiting plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of a fixture for embedding inserts and removing products for female threaded elbow pipe fittings includes a main mounting plate 4 with an integrally formed connection portion at its lower end, which interfaces with an external robot or robotic arm. An insert grabbing module is provided on one side of the main mounting plate 4, and a gate grabbing module is provided on the other side. The insert grabbing module is used to grab metal inserts 9 in batches, while the gate grabbing module is used to grab the mold gate to remove the product.

[0019] Specifically, an intermediate transition plate 6 is installed and connected between one side surface of the general mounting plate 4 and the insert grabbing module. The intermediate transition plate 6 can enhance the stability of the overall tooling on the one hand, and on the other hand, the insert grabbing module can be quickly disassembled and assembled as a whole through the disassembly and assembly of the intermediate transition plate 6.

[0020] The insert grasping module specifically comprises an insert grasping finger cylinder mounting plate 5, which is fixedly mounted on an intermediate transition plate 6. A grasping finger cylinder 7 is fixedly mounted on this mounting plate 5. Each grasping finger cylinder 7 is equipped with an insert gripper 8, which is controlled by a cylinder to grasp the metal insert 9. In this embodiment, there are four grasping finger cylinder mounting plates 5, each of which is equipped with a set of two grasping finger cylinders 7. Therefore, the grasping finger cylinders 7 can be flexibly configured by disassembling and assembling the mounting plates 5.

[0021] The gate grabbing module includes: a finger cylinder mounting plate 10 for grabbing the gates on both sides and a middle cylinder mounting plate 13. The finger cylinder mounting plate 10 for grabbing the gates on both sides and the middle cylinder mounting plate 13 are installed on the other side plate surface of the main mounting plate 4. A lateral notch is opened in the middle of the finger cylinder mounting plate 10 for grabbing the gates on both sides. The middle cylinder mounting plate 13 is located at the lateral notch. Finger cylinders 11 for grabbing the gates on both sides are fixedly installed on the two side areas of the finger cylinder mounting plate 10 for grabbing the gates on both sides, and a finger cylinder 14 for grabbing the middle gate is fixedly installed on the middle cylinder mounting plate 13, that is, the finger cylinder 14 for grabbing the middle gate is located between the finger cylinders 11 for grabbing the gates on both sides. The finger cylinder 14 for grasping the middle gate and the finger cylinder 11 for grasping the two side gates are respectively equipped with a middle gate clamp 15 and a two side gate clamp 12, and the middle gate clamp 15 and the two side gate clamp 12 correspond to the middle gate and the two side gates in the mold respectively, so that the product can be taken out by clamping the gate.

[0022] The other side of the main mounting plate 4 is also fixed with a support shaft 3 around the plate surface, and a product limiting plate 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support shaft 3. The product limiting plate 2 is reserved with holes and grooves corresponding to the middle gate clamp 15 and the gate clamps 12 on both sides, and the middle gate clamp 15 and the gate clamps 12 on both sides are inserted into the holes and grooves.

[0023] During production, this fixture is typically used in conjunction with equipment such as a six-axis industrial robot or robotic arm. The finger cylinders in this fixture are fully open. The grippers are opened, and the metal inserts 9 are first clamped one by one in batches using several insert-grabbing finger cylinders 7 on one side. After all the inserts are clamped, the six-axis robot or robotic arm moves to align the positions. The finger cylinders 14 for grabbing the middle gate and the finger cylinders 11 for grabbing the two side gates control the corresponding grippers to grab the middle gate and two side gates in the mold, respectively. The six-axis robot or robotic arm then moves to remove the female threaded elbow pipe fitting 1 from the mold. The six-axis robot or robotic arm then flips the insert, aligning it with the core in the mold and embedding it in the mold. The next round of injection molding and gripping is then carried out, with reciprocating production operations.
