Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding robot technology, specifically a robot for injection molding coil production. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding robots are machines specifically designed for the automation of injection molding production. They can reduce heavy physical labor, improve working conditions and ensure safe production. They can mimic some functions of the human upper limbs and can be automatically controlled to transport products or handle tools according to predetermined requirements. After the injection molding equipment finishes molding the parts, the injection molding robot needs to pick them up and transport them to the conveyor belt of another production line. The injection molding robot can perform XYZ three-axis motion. Its bottom end is fixed with a separable base plate by bolts. The base plate is equipped with a negative pressure suction cup, which uses adsorption to pick up the injection molded parts, which is very convenient.

[0003] However, existing robotic arms used in injection molding spool production have certain shortcomings in actual use. After the product injection molding process is completed, there is excess plastic at the gate that cannot be cleaned. This affects the suction and fixation, and also requires subsequent cutting and cleaning operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robotic arm for injection molding coil production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a robotic arm for injection molding coil production, comprising a robotic arm body, an installation component at the bottom of the robotic arm body, a horizontal plate at the top of the robotic arm body via a connector, suction mechanisms at both ends of the horizontal plate via sliding components, and a cutting mechanism in the middle of the horizontal plate.

[0006] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation and fixation of the robot body and ensure stability during use, the installation component includes a mounting base fixedly disposed at the bottom of the robot body, with mounting grooves evenly spaced on the periphery of the mounting base, and mounting holes evenly spaced inside the mounting grooves.

[0007] Preferably, in order to facilitate the clamping and fixing of the product with the suction mechanism during cutting, the sliding assembly includes a sliding column equidistantly slidably disposed on the horizontal plate, a movable plate fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the sliding column, and a spring sleeved on the outside of the sliding column between the movable plate and the horizontal plate.

[0008] Preferably, in order to prevent the sliding column from falling off, the sliding column slides out of the horizontal plate and extends upwards to be fixed with a limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, in order to facilitate the suction and placement of the product and avoid hard contact, the suction mechanism includes a plate fixedly connected to a movable plate via a connecting column, vacuum suction cups are provided at equal intervals under the plate, the top of the vacuum suction cups penetrates the plate and is provided with a connecting tube, the connecting tube is connected to the output end of a vacuum generator, and the vacuum generator is fixedly mounted on the plate.

[0010] Preferably, in order to facilitate the cutting of excess plastic for subsequent processing, the cutting mechanism includes a vertical plate fixedly installed under the horizontal plate, a cutter provided on the side wall of the vertical plate via an electric push rod, and a storage component matching the cutter provided at the bottom center of the horizontal plate.

[0011] Preferably, in order to facilitate the temporary storage of the cut plastic and make it convenient for subsequent unified collection and recycling, the storage component includes a mounting plate fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom end of the horizontal plate, a storage plate under the mounting plate, and a groove matching the cutter on the side wall of the storage plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) The cutting mechanism can easily cut off excess plastic before the product is removed from the mold area and temporarily store it, which facilitates subsequent removal and processing. The cut plastic can be collected and processed in a unified manner, which is convenient for subsequent recycling and reuse.

[0014] (2) The sliding component is used in conjunction with the suction mechanism. The sliding component can press and fix the product when cutting it, thereby ensuring stability during the cutting process and preventing movement, thus ensuring the cutting effect. The suction mechanism can use negative pressure to suction, which can facilitate suction, movement and placement, avoiding hard contact and thus preventing damage to the product.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a robotic arm for injection molding spool production, comprising a robotic arm body 1 (a relatively mature technology, not described in detail here) for loading and unloading materials during the injection molding spool production process. A mounting base 2 with mounting components is welded to the bottom of the robotic arm body 1. Mounting grooves 3 are equidistantly spaced on the sides of the mounting base 2, and mounting holes 4 (which can be threaded holes) are provided inside the mounting grooves 3 for easy installation next to the injection molding spool production line using screws. This facilitates the removal of the injection-molded workpiece from the mold. A horizontal plate 6 is mounted on the top of the robotic arm body 1 via a connector 5. The bottom ends of the horizontal plate 6 are equipped with suction mechanisms via sliding components, allowing easy access to the mold area to remove finished products. A cutting mechanism is also provided in the middle of the bottom end of the horizontal plate 6, facilitating the cutting and temporary storage of excess plastic from the gate for subsequent processing.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4To facilitate the removal of finished products, sliding columns 10 with sliding components are equidistantly mounted on the horizontal plate 6. The top of the sliding column 10 protrudes from the horizontal plate 6 and is welded with a limiting plate 9 to prevent the sliding column 10 from falling off. A movable plate 8 is welded to the bottom of the sliding column 10, and a spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 10 between the horizontal plate 6 and the movable plate 8. A connecting column 12 of the suction mechanism is welded to the middle of the bottom of the corresponding movable plate 8. A clamping plate 15 is welded to the bottom of the connecting column 12. Vacuum suction cups 7 are equidistantly mounted under the clamping plate 15 (the number can be four, six, or eight, or other numbers, as long as the suction effect on the finished product is ensured). The top of the vacuum suction cup 7 passes through the clamping plate 15 and extends upwards to connect with a vacuum generating device 14 through a connecting pipe 13 (a relatively mature technology, which will not be described in detail here, to facilitate the suction of the finished product under negative pressure, thereby facilitating its removal from the mold area). The vacuum generating device 14 is mounted on the clamping plate 15.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In order to cut off the plastic from the gate before it is removed for easy processing, a vertical plate 16 with a cutting mechanism is welded to the bottom of the horizontal plate 6. The side wall of the vertical plate 16 is equipped with a cutter 19 via an electric push rod 20. A mounting plate 17 with a storage component is installed in the middle of the bottom of the horizontal plate 6. A storage plate 18 is welded under the mounting plate 17, which can be used to temporarily store the cut plastic with the cutter 19 for easy collection later. The side wall of the storage plate 18 has a groove 21 that matches the cutter 19 for easy cutting.

[0024] Working Principle: When using this invention, after demolding the injection-molded finished product, the robotic arm 1 moves the horizontal plate 6 under the connecting piece 5 to the mold area. At this point, the horizontal plate 6 is directly above the product. The horizontal plate 6 can then move downwards, allowing the vacuum suction cup 7 to contact the upper surface of the product. As it continues to move downwards, it generates an upward squeezing force on the moving plate 8, causing the sliding column 10 to slide on the horizontal plate 6. The spring 11 contracts to store potential energy. When the cutter 19 comes into contact with the upper surface of the product, the potential energy of the spring 11 presses and positions the product. Then, the electric push rod 20 extends, moving the cutter 19 to remove excess plastic (from the gate area). The product is cut and then temporarily stored using a cutter 19 and a storage plate 18. The vacuum generator 14, in conjunction with the connecting pipe 13 and vacuum suction cup 7, can pick up and fix the product. The robot arm 1 then moves the horizontal plate 6 upwards, removing the product from the mold area and placing it at a designated location. The product is then moved to the plastic collection area, where the electric push rod 20 retracts, moving the cutter 19 back to its original position away from the storage plate 18. This removes the seal on the storage plate 18, allowing excess plastic to fall into the collection area for easy collection. The above operation is repeated to remove the next batch of products.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
