Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, and in particular to a bottle pad feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the injection molding process of plastic pads, facing the dual challenges of high-efficiency production and environmentally friendly treatment, existing methods for handling waste plastic gas generated during multi-cavity mold injection molding do indeed have efficiency bottlenecks. Specifically, traditional methods often rely on two or more independently moving structures driving two different robotic arms to clean the waste plastic gas from each injection channel and mold edge one by one. Because the injection molded parts and waste plastic gas are close together, the two different robotic arms unload the materials sequentially. This method not only increases equipment costs but also reduces overall operational efficiency due to the independent operation of the robotic arms. Furthermore, untimely processing can lead to the accumulation of waste plastic gas, affecting the production environment and the quality of subsequent products. Utility Model Content

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] During the unloading process, the transfer mechanism moves the suction component and the robot arm above the picking position.

Finally, the transfer mechanism simultaneously drives the suction component and the robot arm to move from the gripping position to the unloading position. The first lifting drive mechanism drives the suction component to move down so that the suction nozzle releases the bottle pad and the plastic is arranged on the conveyor belt. The second lifting drive mechanism drives the robot arm to move down so that the burrs are released and fall into the waste collection trough, completing one unloading cycle. The suction components and the robotic arm are driven by the same transfer mechanism, ensuring that the suction components and the robotic arm do not interfere with each other and can load and unload materials simultaneously, thereby improving material unloading efficiency.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 2The bottle pad feeding device of this utility model is illustrated in the following embodiment:

[0025] In some embodiments, a bottle pad feeding device includes a suction component 100, a robotic arm 200, a first lifting drive mechanism 300, and a second lifting drive mechanism 400; the suction component 100 includes a suction cup 110 and a rotary drive component 120.

[0026] During material feeding, the transfer mechanism 600 moves the suction assembly 100 and the robot arm 200 above the material picking position. The rotation drive 120 drives the suction cup 110 to a vertical position so that the suction nozzle faces the bottle pad. The position adjustment mechanism 500 drives the suction assembly 100 closer to the robot arm 200. Since the suction cup 110 is vertical, the distance between the two is relatively close. The first lifting drive mechanism 300 drives the suction assembly 100 to move down and the suction nozzle to pick up the bottle pad. The second lifting drive mechanism 400 drives the robot arm 200 to move down and clamp the burrs. The first lifting drive mechanism 300 drives the suction assembly 100 to move up. The position adjustment mechanism 500... 0 is used to drive the suction component 100 away from the robot arm 200, at which point the distance between the two is relatively large. The rotation drive component 120 is used to drive the suction cup 110 to rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The second lifting drive mechanism 400 drives the robot arm 200 to move upward. Finally, the transfer mechanism 600 is used to simultaneously drive the suction component 100 and the robot arm 200 from the gripping position to the unloading position. The first lifting drive mechanism 300 drives the suction component 100 to move downward, the suction nozzle releases the bottle pad and makes the plastic arrange on the conveyor belt. The second lifting drive mechanism 400 drives the robot arm 200 to move downward, release the burrs, and the burrs fall into the waste collection trough, completing one unloading operation.

[0027] The suction component 100 and the robotic arm 200 are driven by the same transfer mechanism 600, ensuring that the suction component 100 and the robotic arm 200 do not interfere with each other and can load and unload materials simultaneously, thus improving material unloading efficiency. Furthermore, the position adjustment mechanism 500 is designed to accommodate adjustments to the state of the suction cup 110 during material handling, as well as handling cases where bottle pads and burrs are close together, and also cases where bottle pads and burrs are unloaded from different positions.

[0028] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 600 includes a second transverse seat 610 and a transfer drive 620. The second transverse seat 610 extends left and right, and a support base is provided at the bottom of the second transverse seat 610 to support the entire unloading device. The transfer drive 620 is disposed on the second transverse seat 610 and is connected to the first transverse seat 510 through a screw drive structure. The transfer drive 620 can drive the first transverse seat 510 to move in the left and right direction, wherein a material picking position and a material unloading position are provided in the left and right direction. The material picking position is generally a multi-cavity mold, and the material unloading position is generally a drive belt and a waste collection trough. To improve the stability of movement, the first transverse seat 510 can be slidably disposed on the second transverse seat 610 via a sliding rail.

[0029] The position adjustment mechanism 500 includes a first transverse seat 510 and a position adjustment drive 520. The first transverse seat 510 extends forward and backward. The first transverse seat 510 is slidably disposed on a second transverse seat 610. The first lifting drive mechanism 300 is slidably disposed on the first transverse seat 510. The position adjustment drive 520 is disposed on the first transverse seat 510. At the same time, the second lifting drive mechanism 400 is also disposed on the first transverse seat 510. The position adjustment drive 520 is connected to the first lifting drive mechanism 300 through a screw drive device.

[0030] The suction assembly 100 includes a suction cup 110 and a rotary drive 120. The rotary drive 120 drives the suction cup 110 to rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state so that the suction nozzle faces forward.

[0031] The suction cup 110 needs to rotate for two reasons. First, the bottle pads are located on the side of the multi-cavity mold, so the suction cup 110 needs to be rotated to a vertical position. After suction, multiple bottle pads need to be evenly placed on the transmission belt, so the suction cup 110 needs to be rotated to a horizontal position. Second, the injection molded parts and waste plastic are close together, so the distance between the suction component 100 and the robot 200 needs to be reduced when picking up materials at the same time. When unloading materials, the distance between the suction component 100 and the robot 200 increases, so that the bottle pads are unloaded and unloaded on the transmission belt, while the burrs are unloaded in the waste collection trough.

[0032] The first lifting drive mechanism 300 and the second lifting drive mechanism 400 can be driven by linear drive units such as lead screw modules and hydraulic cylinders, respectively.

[0033] The suction surface of the suction cup 110 is provided with multiple suction nozzles, which are detachably mounted on the suction cup 110. Specifically, the suction cup 110 has mounting holes arranged in a rectangle. Each suction nozzle includes a nozzle portion 111 and a tube portion 112, with the tube portion 112 fixed to the mounting hole. The upper end of the tube portion 112 is threaded or snapped into the air intake pipe, and the lower end of the tube portion 112 is threaded or snapped into the nozzle portion 111. During installation, the position and number of suction nozzles can be adjusted according to the number of flat gaskets. For example, if some flat gaskets have a larger diameter, reducing the number of those gaskets can reduce the number of suction nozzles, while increasing the number of those gaskets can correspondingly increase the number of suction nozzles.

[0034] The robotic arm 200 includes two clamping arms and clamping cylinders mounted on the robotic arm 200. The clamping cylinders are respectively connected to one end of the two clamping arms. When picking up materials, the clamping cylinders drive the two clamping arms to move closer to each other; when unloading materials, the clamping cylinders drive the two clamping arms to move away from each other.

[0035] It should be noted that the drive mechanisms of this utility model are all existing technologies, and the aforementioned rotary motion, lifting motion, and moving motion can all be driven by cylinders, electric push rods, or motor lead screw transmissions. Corresponding slide rails are provided for linear motion to improve motion accuracy, while corresponding rotational shafts are provided for rotary motion to improve rotational accuracy and stability.

[0036] In the detailed process of material unloading, the transfer mechanism 600 first moves the suction component 100 and the robot arm 200 to above the preset material picking position. At this time, the rotary drive 120 starts to work. Its main task is to drive the suction cup 110 to rotate until the suction cup 110 reaches a vertical position, ensuring that the suction nozzle is directly facing the bottle pad to be picked up below.

[0037] Next, the position adjustment mechanism 500 intervenes, driving the suction component 100 to move closer to the robotic arm 200. Since the suction cup 110 is now in a vertical position, the relative distance between the suction component 100 and the robotic arm 200 is significantly reduced, which facilitates subsequent operations.

[0038] Subsequently, the first lifting drive mechanism 300 is activated, driving the suction component 100 to slowly descend until the suction nozzle tightly contacts and sucks up the bottle pad. At the same time, the second lifting drive mechanism 400 also moves synchronously, driving the robotic arm 200 to move down to a position where it can grip the rough edges around the bottle pad and successfully pick it up.

[0039] After the suction and gripping actions are completed, the first lifting drive mechanism 300 is activated again, driving the suction assembly 100 to move upward, ensuring that the separation of the nozzle from the bottle pad does not affect subsequent processes. At this time, the position adjustment mechanism 500 comes into play again, driving the suction assembly 100 away from the robot arm 200 and returning it to its initial relative position, preparing for subsequent rotation and movement.

[0040] Next, the rotary drive 120 is activated again, driving the suction cup 110 to rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position, preparing for the subsequent material transfer. At the same time, the second lifting drive mechanism 400 also drives the robot arm 200 to move upward, ensuring that the robot arm 200 will not collide with any objects during the transfer process.

[0041] Finally, the transfer mechanism 600 fully intervenes, simultaneously driving the suction component 100 and the robotic arm 200 from their current gripping positions to the unloading positions. During this process, the first lifting drive mechanism 300 again drives the suction component 100 downwards, the suction nozzle releases the bottle pad, allowing the bottle pad to fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt and arrange itself according to a predetermined pattern. Simultaneously, the second lifting drive mechanism 400 also drives the robotic arm 200 downwards, releasing the previously gripped rough edges, which then fall into the pre-set waste collection trough. Thus, the entire unloading process is successfully completed, marking the successful completion of one unloading operation.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
