Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding cooling and shaping technology, and in particular to an automated cooling and shaping device for clamp parts used in filter sand cylinders. Background Technology

[0002] A sand filter tank is a water filtration device widely used in swimming pools, aquariums, and other similar venues. The tank opening is typically secured with clamps to maintain the lid. For example... Figure 1 This is a common type of clamp component in existing technology. Combining two of these clamp components together forms a complete clamp. These clamp components are usually injection molded. After the product is molded, it needs to be immersed in cooling water for cooling and shaping. Due to its arched shape, existing cooling and shaping devices cannot stably hold the clamp component. During the immersion in cooling water, the clamp component is easy to tip over, affecting the shaping effect, and may even fall into the water tank. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides an automated cooling and shaping device for clamp components used in sand filter cylinders, which can clamp and fix the clamp components, ensuring that the clamp components can be cooled and shaped smoothly.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides an automated cooling and shaping device for a clamping component of a sand filter, including a water tank, a lifting assembly, a bracket, and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is fixed on the bracket, the lifting assembly is disposed on one side of the water tank, and the bracket is disposed above the water tank and connected to the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly is used to drive the bracket to move vertically so that the bracket enters or leaves the water tank. The clamping assembly includes a placement plate, multiple limiting strips, a baffle, a first driver, and a clamping block. The limiting strips, baffle, first driver, and clamping block are all fixed on the top surface of the placement plate. The limiting strips are parallel to each other and arranged in a preset direction. A placement groove for placing the clamping component is formed between two adjacent limiting strips. The baffle and clamping block are respectively located at both ends of the placement groove. The first driver is connected to the clamping block and is used to drive the clamping block to move along the extension direction of the placement groove so that the baffle and clamping block clamp the clamping component located in the placement groove.

[0006] In some embodiments, the top surface of the placement plate is provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes penetrating through it.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first driver is a cylinder and multiple cylinders are provided. A fixing plate is provided on the top surface of the placement plate. All cylinders are connected to the fixing plate, and the push rod of the cylinder passes through the fixing plate and is connected to the clamping block.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bracket includes a connecting frame and multiple vertical rods. The connecting frame is fixed to the bottom end of the vertical rods, the clamping assembly is fixed to the connecting frame, and a horizontally arranged top plate is fixed to the top of the vertical rods. The top plate is connected to the lifting assembly.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly includes a second driver, a guide plate, and a guide rod. The guide rod extends vertically and is connected to a top plate. The guide plate is provided with a guide hole adapted to the guide rod. The second driver is connected to the top plate and is used to drive the top plate to move vertically. The guide rod passes through the guide hole and can move along the guide hole.

[0010] In some embodiments, two clamping components are provided, with one clamping component located above the other clamping component. The placement plate of the upper clamping component is slidably connected to the bracket along the extension direction of the placement groove. A third driver is also fixed on the bracket. The third driver is connected to the placement plate of the upper clamping component and drives the placement plate to slide along the extension direction of the placement groove, so that the placement plate moves above or out of the lower clamping component.

[0011] In some embodiments, a slider is fixed on the bracket, and a guide rail is fixed to the bottom of the placement plate of the clamping assembly located above, the guide rail being slidably engaged with the slider.

[0012] In some embodiments, the guide rail rod includes a round rod, a connector, and a fixing plate. The fixing plate is disposed above the round rod and fixedly connected to the placement plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0029] An embodiment of this utility model provides an automated cooling and shaping device for clamp components used in sand filter cylinders, such as... Figure 2-6 As shown, the device includes a water tank 100, a lifting assembly 200, a bracket 300, and a clamping assembly 400. The water tank 100 is used to hold cooling water for the cooling clamp 10. The clamping assembly 400 is fixed to the bracket 300 so that it moves with the bracket 300. The lifting assembly 200 is disposed on one side of the water tank 100, and the bracket 300 is disposed above the water tank 100 and connected to the lifting assembly 200. The lifting assembly 200 is used to drive the bracket 300 to move vertically so that the bracket 300 enters or leaves the water tank. The clamping assembly 400 includes a placement plate 410, multiple limiting strips 420, a baffle 430, a first driver 440, and a clamping block 450. The limiting strips 420, baffle 430, first driver 440, and clamping block 450 are all fixed to the top surface of the placement plate 410. The limiting strips 420 are parallel to each other and arranged in a preset direction. A placement groove 421 for placing the clamping member 10 is formed between two adjacent limiting strips 420. The baffle 430 and clamping block 450 are located at opposite ends of the placement groove 421. The first driver 440 is connected to the clamping block 450 and drives the clamping block 450 to move along the extension direction of the placement groove 421, so that the baffle 430 and clamping block 450 clamp the clamping member 10 located in the placement groove 421.

[0030] In this embodiment, the automated cooling and shaping device allows a worker or robot to place the shaped clamp 10 into the placement groove 421 between two adjacent limiting strips 420. The first driver 440 then drives the clamping block 450 to move along the extension direction of the placement groove 421. The baffle 430 and the clamping block 450 clamp and fix the clamp 10 located in the placement groove 421. The lifting component 200 drives the bracket 300 into the water tank 100, immersing the clamp 10 in the cooling water for cooling and shaping. After cooling and shaping, the lifting component 200 drives the bracket 300 to move upward to remove it from the water tank 100. The first driver 440 then drives the clamping block 450 to loosen its grip on the clamp 10, allowing the worker or robot to remove the shaped clamp 10 from the placement plate 410. Because the clamp 10 is clamped and fixed, it will not tip over during the process of immersion in the water tank 100, cooling and shaping, and removal from the water tank 100, thus ensuring that the clamp 10 can successfully complete the cooling and shaping process.

[0031] In some embodiments, the top surface of the placement plate 410 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 411. During the process of immersing the placement plate 410 in cooling water, the cooling water can come into contact with the clamp 10 through the through-holes 411 to start cooling the clamp 10 as soon as possible and shorten the cooling and shaping time. At the same time, during the process of removing the placement plate 410 from the water tank 100, the through-holes 411 can drain the cooling water on the top surface of the placement plate 410, accelerating the drainage of cooling water.

[0032] The water-permeable holes 411 can be evenly distributed on the placement plate 410 so that the cooling water can be relatively evenly distributed into each placement tank 421.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first actuator 440 is a cylinder and multiple cylinders are provided. A fixing plate 460 is provided on the top surface of the placement plate 410. The cylinders are all connected to the fixing plate 460, and the push rods of the cylinders pass through the fixing plate 460 and are connected to the clamping block 450. The extension and retraction of the cylinder push rods drives the clamping block 450 to move, thereby achieving the clamping or releasing of the clamping member 10. The fixing plate 460 may be provided with corresponding through holes, and the cylinder push rods pass through the through holes.

[0034] In some embodiments, the support 300 includes a connecting frame 320 and multiple vertical rods 310. The connecting frame 320 is fixed to the bottom end of the vertical rods 310, and the clamping assembly 400 is fixed to the connecting frame 320. A horizontally arranged top plate 330 is fixed to the top end of the vertical rods 310, and the top plate 330 is connected to the lifting assembly 200. This structure allows the lifting assembly 200, located on one side of the water tank 100, to also be connected to the support 300. The lifting assembly 200 drives the top plate 330 to move vertically, which in turn drives the clamping assembly 400 on the connecting frame 320 to move vertically.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 200 includes a second driver 210, a guide plate 220, and a guide rod 230. The guide rod 230 extends vertically and is connected to the top plate 330. The guide plate 220 is provided with a guide hole adapted to the guide rod 230. The second driver 210 is connected to the top plate 330 and is used to drive the top plate 330 to move vertically. The guide rod 230 passes through the guide hole and can move along the guide hole. The cooperation between the guide rod 230 and the guide hole guides the movement of the top plate 330, enabling the top plate 330 to move stably in the vertical direction.

[0036] The second driver 210 can be a cylinder, which is arranged vertically, and the cylinder push rod passes through the guide plate 220 and is connected to the top plate 330.

[0037] In some embodiments, two clamping components 400 are provided, with one clamping component 400 located above the other clamping component 400. The placement plate 410 of the upper clamping component 400 is slidably connected to the bracket 300 along the extension direction of the placement groove 421. A third driver 470 is also fixed on the bracket 300. The third driver 470 is connected to the placement plate 410 of the upper clamping component 400 and drives the placement plate 410 to slide along the extension direction of the placement groove 421, so that the placement plate 410 moves to above the lower clamping component 400 or moves out of the upper clamping component 400.

[0038] In this embodiment, a robotic arm can handle the placement and removal of clamping components 10. First, the third actuator 470 moves the placement plate 410 of the upper clamping assembly 400 above the lower clamping assembly 400. The robotic arm can then place the clamping component 10 onto the lower clamping assembly 400. Once the lower clamping assembly 400 is full of clamping components 10, the third actuator 470 moves the placement plate 410 of the upper clamping assembly 400 above the lower clamping assembly 400, and the robotic arm then places the clamping component 10 onto the upper clamping assembly 400. Therefore, this embodiment can increase the number of clamping components 10 that can be placed, allowing more clamping components 10 to be cooled and shaped at once, thus improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, since the robotic arm has a limited range of motion, it can only move to the top of the gripping component 400 located below. In this embodiment, the placement plate 410 of the gripping component 400 located above is moved by the third driver 470, which ensures that the clamping components 10 can be placed on both gripping components 400 without replacing the robotic arm.

[0039] Furthermore, a slider 480 is fixed on the bracket 300, and a guide rail 490 is fixed to the bottom of the placement plate 410 of the clamping assembly 400 located above, with the guide rail 490 slidingly engaging with the slider 480. When the third actuator 470 drives the placement plate 410 of the clamping assembly 400 located above to move, the guide rail 490 slides relative to the slider 480 to guide the movement direction of the placement plate 410.

[0040] Furthermore, the guide rail rod 490 includes a round rod 491, a connecting piece 492, and a fixing plate 493. The fixing plate 493 is positioned above the round rod 491 and is fixedly connected to the placement plate 410. The connecting piece 492 is connected to both the round rod 491 and the fixing plate 493. The slider 480 has a guide rail hole, and its top surface has a notch communicating with the guide rail hole. The round rod 491 passes through the guide rail hole, and the connecting piece 492 extends out from the notch. The round rod 491 slides into the guide rail hole, increasing its smoothness. The connecting piece 492 extending from the notch does not affect its connection with the fixing plate 493. The fixing plate 493 can be fixedly connected to the placement plate 410 by screws.
