[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The automatic ejection shoe removal device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the automatic injection shoe removal device includes an injection mold 200, a visual positioning robot 300 and a fast unloading robot 400. Specifically, the injection mold 200 is installed in the injection molding equipment. The injection mold 200 includes an upper mold base 110 and a lower mold base 120. The upper mold base 110 and the lower mold base 120 are used to install the upper and lower molds of the mold 200 respectively. The upper mold of the mold 200 is installed at the upper mold base 110, and the lower mold is installed at the lower mold base 120. The mold 200 is closed by the clamping action of the upper mold base 110 and the lower mold base 120 and then injection molding is performed. After the product is formed, the upper and lower molds are separated, and the product is taken out by the collaborative work of the visual positioning robot 300 and the fast unloading robot 400, thereby reducing the safety risks of manual unloading and improving the unloading efficiency.

[0037] The visual positioning robot 300 is located on one side of the injection mold 200 and is equipped with a visual perception CCD component 310, which is used to obtain parameter information of the surface of the mold 200. The visual perception CCD component 310 identifies the position of the product on the surface of the mold 200 and feeds the product coordinate information back to the fast unloading robot 400.

[0038] The rapid unloading robot 400 is positioned near the injection mold 200. A quick-release adapter plate 410 is located near the mold 200, which is used to mount a gripper. The rapid unloading robot 400 uses the gripper to quickly grasp and unload the product based on information provided by the vision-based positioning robot 300.

[0039] The visual positioning robot 300 and the rapid unloading robot 400 are positioned on opposite sides of the injection mold 200. The end faces of the mold 200 are equipped with an identification unit and an information unit 230, which are recognized by a visual sensing CCD assembly 310. The separate positioning of the visual positioning robot 300 and the rapid unloading robot 400 effectively improves their operational efficiency. While the visual positioning robot 300 acquires product position information, the rapid unloading robot 400 can quickly execute the desired position. Their independent operation effectively improves unloading efficiency and enhances production efficiency.

[0040] The visual positioning robot 300 can quickly locate the product position through the recognition part on the mold 200, and can obtain information about the mold 200 through the information part 230, so as to call the corresponding program according to the information feedback from the information part 230. The real-time visual recognition works in conjunction with the program preset to achieve a rapid response of the fast unloading robot 400.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, a control component (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is included, which is electrically connected to the visual positioning robot 300 and the fast unloading robot 400, respectively. The control component controls the operation of the fast unloading robot 400 based on the information feedback from the visual perception CCD component 310.

[0042] Specifically, the control component can control the operation of the two manipulators at the same time. The information of the visual positioning manipulator 300 is fed back to the control component, and the control component immediately controls the operation of the fast unloading manipulator 400. In this embodiment, the coordinates of the product positioned by the visual positioning manipulator 300 are used as the reference value, and the visual positioning manipulator 300 and the fast unloading manipulator 400 share a set of absolute coordinates of the product. The visual positioning manipulator 300 establishes a coordinate system based on the recognition part. Since the positions of the recognition parts of different molds 200 are consistent, and the initial position of the fast unloading manipulator 400 remains unchanged, the control component can establish a positional relationship based on the two, so that the fast unloading manipulator 400 moves to the work station to unload. The visual positioning manipulator 300 can calculate the offset by comparing the position information obtained by the recognition part with the position information built into the control component, thereby compensating for the action execution of the fast unloading manipulator 400.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the mold 200 is provided with a cavity 210, and the identification part is arranged around the cavity 210. The identification part includes a positioning groove 221 and an anti-fool groove 222. The visual perception CCD component 310 locates the product reference position in the cavity 210 through the positioning groove 221 and identifies the direction through the anti-fool groove 222.

[0044] Specifically, the mold cavity 210 of the mold 200 adopts a uniform specification, so that the identification portion of different molds 200 is set in the same position. The identification portion is set around the mold cavity 210. In this embodiment, the identification portion includes three groups of positioning grooves 221 and a group of foolproof grooves 222. The layout of the foolproof grooves 222 is different from that of the positioning grooves 221. The positioning grooves 221 are arranged in a way that surrounds the mold cavity 210, while the foolproof grooves 222 are arranged differently from the positioning grooves 221. The visual positioning robot 300 can identify the orientation of the mold cavity 210 through the arrangement of the positioning grooves 221 and the foolproof grooves 222. This allows the user to determine whether the mold 200 is installed in the correct position or not.

[0045] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, positioning groove 221 and anti-mock groove 222 are concavely disposed on the end surface of mold 200, and a reflective coating is provided within positioning groove 221 and anti-mock groove 222. The concave surface of positioning groove 221 and anti-mock groove 222 effectively prevents wear of the reflective coating during use of mold 200, thereby maintaining the positioning accuracy of visual positioning robot 300. The reflective coating is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the information portion 230 is disposed on the end surface of the mold 200 and is coated with a fluorescent coating. Furthermore, the information portion 230 is etched into a stripe-shaped groove on the end surface of the mold 200. Specifically, the information portion 230 also utilizes a recessed structure to prevent wear of the fluorescent coating. In this embodiment, the information portion 230 of the molds 200 of different products varies in style, and can be identified by the number of diagonal stripes arranged. In other embodiments, different molds 200 can also be provided with information portions 230 of different shapes for identification.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the visual perception CCD component 310 is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art, and its structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The visual perception CCD component 310 is provided with a fill light 311 and an ultraviolet lamp group 312 on the original basis. The fill light 311 and the ultraviolet lamp group 312 are arranged in a surrounding manner, and the ultraviolet lamp group 312 is used to illuminate the fluorescent coating of the information part 230. Specifically, the ultraviolet lamp group 312 irradiates the fluorescent coating to make the information part 230 more obvious under the ultraviolet irradiation line, thereby improving the recognition efficiency of the visual perception CCD component 310. The fill light 311 irradiates the reflective coating to highlight the reflective coating, thereby improving the positioning effect of the visual perception CCD component 310.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, a clamping mechanism (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is provided on one side of the rapid unloading robot 400. A quick-release adapter plate 410 is provided to install corresponding clamping mechanisms from the clamping mechanism. Specifically, the clamping mechanism is a technical solution well known to those skilled in the art. The clamping mechanism stores a variety of clamping mechanisms, the number of which is adjusted based on the specifications of the mold 200. The quick-release adapter plate 410 operates by installing corresponding clamping mechanisms with the assistance of either equipment or human assistance.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fast unloading robot 400 and the visual positioning robot 300 respectively adopt a four-axis structure.

[0050] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative use of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0051] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
