[0029] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a tool for inserting and removing components for automobile bumpers. This tool is used in conjunction with a robot to first insert a component into an injection mold, then remove the finished injection molded product after the component and the molded part are integrally formed. The finished injection molded product of the present invention is an automobile bumper. The tool comprises a support frame 100, with a quick-change port mechanism 400 provided on one side of the support frame 100 for rapid connection to the robot while also enabling rapid mold changes. Furthermore, the support frame 100 is provided with a component removal mechanism, a nut embedding mechanism 300, a quick-change port mechanism 400, a tool positioning hole 102, and a mold positioning column 103.

[0031] To minimize the weight of the tooling of this invention, the support frame 100 is a rectangular frame structure constructed from interlocking aluminum profiles. It includes four support crossbars 102 arranged in a rectangular array along its length, and a number of supporting connecting rods that stably connect the four support crossbars 102 to form the rectangular frame. Furthermore, given the large and long appearance of the vehicle bumper 000, the top ends of the two support crossbars 102 on the top surface of the support frame 100 are each connected to a supporting diagonal rod 103. These four supporting diagonal rods 103 form a gradually widening gripping pattern with the rectangular top surface of the support frame 100. In order to improve production efficiency and realize the embedding and removal of multiple car bumper inserts at the same time, the utility model divides the support frame 100 into two retrieval stations. A support cross bar 102 on the top surface of the support frame 100 and two support diagonal bars 103 thereon are one retrieval station, and another support cross bar 102 on the top surface of the support frame 100 and two support diagonal bars 103 thereon are another retrieval station. In order to improve structural stability, an diagonal bar connecting rod is connected between the two support diagonal bars 103 located at the same end.

[0032] Each pickup station is equipped with a pickup mechanism. The pickup mechanism includes a plurality of first suction cup assemblies 200. The number and location of the first suction cup assemblies 200 can be set according to the actual product size and are not particularly limited. In the present utility model, two first suction cup assemblies 200 are spaced apart on the support crossbar 102 at each pickup station, and each supporting inclined rod 103 at each pickup station is connected to a first suction cup assembly 200. The inclined rod connecting rod is connected to a first suction cup assembly 200 at one end near its corresponding pickup station.

[0033] Each first suction cup assembly 200 includes a first angle adjustment member 201 and a first vacuum suction cup 202. The first angle adjustment member 201 is composed of a first connecting rod 2011 and a first rotating shaft 2012. Each first connecting rod 2011 is a rectangular strip, one end of which is detachably connected to the corresponding support cross bar 102, support diagonal rod 103, or diagonal rod connecting rod via a fastener, and the other end is fixed to one end of the first rotating shaft 2012. The other end of the first rotating shaft 2012 is rotatably connected to the first vacuum suction cup 202, and each first vacuum suction cup 202 is located outside the support frame 100. Each first vacuum suction cup 202 is connected to a vacuum generator (not shown) via a pipeline. Each first vacuum suction cup 202 can accurately set the angle at which it absorbs the product by adjusting the angle of connection with the first rotating shaft 2012, thereby ensuring that it is firmly adsorbed on the surface of the automobile bumper 000.

[0034] Preferably, a strip groove 2013 is provided on one end of each first connecting rod 2011 connected to the supporting cross bar 102, the supporting diagonal rod 103 or the diagonal rod connecting rod. By adjusting the position of the fastener on the strip groove 2013, the fixed position of the first suction cup assembly 200 on the supporting cross bar 102, the supporting diagonal rod 103 or the diagonal rod connecting rod can be fine-tuned to enable each first vacuum suction cup 202 to act on the product more accurately.

[0035] To ensure more stable product gripping, the pickup mechanism at each pickup station also includes several second suction cup assemblies 500. The number and placement of these assemblies can be adjusted based on the specific product shape and are not particularly limited. In the present invention, three second suction cup assemblies 500 are spaced apart on the support crossbar 102 at each pickup station, and the second suction cup assemblies 500 on each support crossbar 102 are positioned opposite the first suction cup assemblies 200.

[0036] Each second suction cup assembly 500 includes a third angle adjustment member 501 and a second vacuum suction cup 502. Each third angle adjustment member 501 is a rectangular bar, one end of which is provided with a strip groove 2013 for adjusting its fixed position, and the other end of which is hinged to a rotating head 5011. The strip groove 2013 on the third angle adjustment member 501 is detachably connected to the support cross bar 102 by fasteners, and each rotating head 5011 is located between the two support cross bars 102 of the two pickup stations. A suction cup connecting column is fixed to each rotating head 5011, and the top of the suction cup connecting column is rotatably connected to the second vacuum suction cup 502. Each second vacuum suction cup 502 is connected to the vacuum generator through a pipeline. At this point, the second vacuum suction cup 502 and the first vacuum suction cup 202 on each support cross bar 102 are arranged relative to each other. The angle of each second vacuum suction cup 502 can be adjusted by the third angle adjustment member 501 according to the appearance characteristics of the automobile bumper 000, thereby ensuring that it can act on the surface of the automobile bumper 000 more accurately.

[0037] In addition, an insert embedding station is provided on the support frame 100, below each of the removal stations. Each insert embedding station corresponds to the same side of the two removal stations, and each embedding station is equipped with a plurality of nut embedding mechanisms 300. The number and location of the nut embedding mechanisms 300 can be configured based on the specific product and are not particularly limited. In the present invention, a support crossbar 102 located below the support frame 100 serves as an insert embedding station, with a nut embedding mechanism 300 located at each end. Another support crossbar 102 located below the support frame 100 serves as another insert embedding station, also with a nut embedding mechanism 300 located at each end.

[0038] Each nut embedding mechanism 300 includes a linear drive cylinder 301, a pneumatic clamp 302, and a second angle adjustment member 303 for adjusting the angle of the pneumatic clamp 302. The second angle adjustment member 303 is composed of a second connecting rod 3031 and a second rotating shaft 3032. The structure of the second connecting rod 3031 and the second rotating shaft 3032 is similar to the first connecting rod 2011 and the first rotating shaft 2012 described above, and will not be repeated here. One end of each second connecting rod 3031 is detachably connected to the supporting crossbar 102 below the support frame 100, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 3032. The other end of the second rotating shaft 3032 is rotatably connected to the fixed end of the linear drive cylinder 301. The driving end of the linear drive cylinder 301 is connected to the pneumatic clamp 302. The angle of each pneumatic clamp 302 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of each second rotating shaft 3032, so that it can accurately clamp the insert.

[0039] Preferably, two second angle adjustment members 303 are connected to the fixed end of each linear drive cylinder 301 to increase its stability.

[0040] Furthermore, a positioning plate is provided on the other side of the support frame 100 opposite to the quick-change port mechanism 400, and two tooling positioning holes 104 are provided on the positioning plate, so that the tooling of the present invention can be quickly positioned at the pickup location under the drive of the robot arm to achieve fast and accurate pickup.

[0041] Furthermore, a mold positioning column 105 is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the support frame 100 for positioning with the mold so as to quickly and accurately embed the insert into the mold or quickly and accurately remove the car bumper from the mold.

[0042] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] The tooling of the present invention is connected to the manipulator via a quick port mechanism 400. When embedding an insert, the manipulator first drives the tooling of the present invention to move to the insert discharge location, and after quickly and accurately positioning it with the insert discharge location through the tooling positioning hole 104, the linear drive cylinder 301 in each nut embedding mechanism 300 drives the pneumatic clamping claw 302 to extend and clamp the insert. The tooling is then driven by the manipulator to move to the injection mold, and after quickly and accurately positioning it with the injection mold through the mold positioning column 105, the linear drive cylinder 301 drives the pneumatic clamping claw 302 to embed the insert into each injection mold, completing the embedding action.

[0044] When picking up the parts, after the injection molded parts and inserts in the injection mold are injected together to form the car bumper 000, the robot drives the tooling of the utility model to move to the injection mold, and after quickly achieving precise positioning with the injection mold through the mold positioning column 105, the first suction cup assembly 200 and the second suction cup assembly 500 on each picking station work together to suck out the car bumper 000 in the corresponding injection mold to complete the picking action.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
