Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal coating molding, and in particular to a sheet metal coating mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Products coated with rubber require injection molding to facilitate the subsequent insertion of nuts as accessories. In conventional production methods, workers place two pieces of rubber on the left and right sides of the mold, respectively. After injection molding, the rubber connects the two pieces of rubber into one piece. When removing the product, workers then place two more pieces of rubber in. Continuous work can easily cause human fatigue, leading to problems such as missing pieces, placing them backwards, or improper placement. Moreover, manual placement is inefficient and the injection molding cycle is difficult to control. Utility Model Content

A feeding cover 15 is hinged to the upper end of the soundproof cover 14. An iron sheet moving groove 16 is provided in the middle of the discharge support 4. A vertical moving cylinder 17 is connected to the drive end of the horizontal moving module 5. A material transfer gripper 18 is installed on the drive end of the vertical moving cylinder 17.

The drive end of the iron sheet distributing motor 22 is connected to the middle of the iron sheet distributing turntable 6. Four iron sheet fixtures 23 are arranged around the iron sheet distributing turntable 6.
[0029] Open the feeding cover 15 on the soundproof cover 14 and put the iron sheet 29 into the feeding vibrating plate 3. The feeding vibrating plate 3 will align the position of the iron sheet 29 to the discharge support 4 through vibration. In the iron sheet moving groove 16 of the discharge support 4, the horizontal moving module 5 controls the transfer claw 18 to move to the top of the discharge support 4.
