[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0018] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a locking component feeding device for an injection molding machine, including a feeding assembly mounted on a robotic arm. The robotic arm is used to transfer locking components from the locking component feeding platform to the injection cavity of the injection molding machine located on one side. The feeding assembly includes a fixed plate 1, a movable plate 2, a cylinder 3, and a feeding rod 4. The fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to the robotic arm. The cylinder 3 is mounted on the fixed plate 1. The movable plate 2 is located at the end of the fixed plate 1 away from the robotic arm, and one side of the movable plate 1 is fixedly connected to the drive rod of the cylinder 3. The feeding rod 4 is mounted on the fixed plate 1, and the end of the feeding rod 4 passes through the movable plate and exits from the other side of the movable plate 2. The end of the feeding rod 4 has a guide portion 41 to facilitate the partial embedding of the locking component. The range of motion of the drive rod of the cylinder 3 is adapted to the length of the feeding rod.
[0019] In this embodiment, the movable plate 2 is rectangular, and there are two cylinders 3, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the two long sides or the two short sides of the rectangle of the movable plate. There are four feeding rods 4, which are arranged at the four vertices of a rectangle. The guide part 41 is composed of multiple extension arms arranged in a petal-like pattern along the axial direction, and the ends of the extension arms are in an inward-facing state.
[0020] The working principle of the locking component feeding device for injection molding machine according to this utility model is as follows:
[0021] First, the robotic arm moves the loading device to directly above the loading platform. The loading platform then lifts each locking component and aligns it with the loading bar on the loading device, ensuring they are coaxial. The robotic arm then moves downwards, partially embedding the locking component into the guide section. Next, the robotic arm transfers the component to the injection cavity of the injection molding machine, aligning the loading bar with the mounting bar located within the cavity, ensuring they are coaxial. Through the cooperation of a cylinder and a movable plate, the locking component on the guide section is quickly pushed onto the mounting bar and then removed, completing the loading of the locking components for the injection molding machine. Using the device provided by this invention, the installation of four locking components can be completed simultaneously, ensuring not only the safety of the injection molding process but also significantly improving processing efficiency. This invention has been described with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments and accompanying drawings; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this invention. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. Conversely, modifications and equivalent provisions included within the spirit and scope of the claims are all included within the scope of this invention.
