Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drain outlet device for plastic parts, specifically a drain outlet device for plastic parts of a coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] When processing the plastic parts required for a coffee machine, it is necessary to remove the sprue gates. The sprue gate is the channel connecting the injection molding machine and the mold for the coffee machine, and it is used to inject molten plastic into the mold cavity. After the plastic part is injection molded, the sprue gate will remain on the plastic part, and it is necessary to remove the sprue gate from the plastic mold part required for the coffee machine.

[0003] Currently, the devices used for removing sprues from plastic parts in coffee machines typically require a manual cutting mechanism. After a plastic part is moved to a designated workstation, a person operates the cutting mechanism to perform the cutting work. This processing method has a low degree of automation due to the involvement of human labor, which affects the processing efficiency of plastic parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dewatering device for plastic parts of coffee machines, which can automatically complete the process of feeding, cutting, and output without the need for manual operation, thereby greatly improving the degree of automation and increasing the processing efficiency of plastic parts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drain device for plastic parts of a coffee machine, comprising a support mechanism, a material transfer mechanism and a cutting mechanism disposed on the support mechanism, and an output mechanism disposed below the cutting mechanism. The support mechanism includes an operating table, on which a material trough is disposed, and a cutting groove is disposed on one side of the material trough. The material transfer mechanism includes an automatic winding device, a wire disposed on the automatic winding device, and a first push plate connected to the wire. The first push plate is slidably disposed in the material trough and is in contact with the inner wall of the material trough. The cutting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder, a mounting base fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and a motor mounted on one end of the mounting base. A cutting head is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The output mechanism includes a photoelectric sensor, a controller, and a cylinder disposed above the controller. A second push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder, motor, photoelectric sensor, and cylinder are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] Preferably, two mounting slots are provided in the cutting groove, and two photoelectric sensors are provided, with the two photoelectric sensors installed in the two mounting slots respectively.

[0007] Preferably, a storage groove is also provided in the cutting groove, and the second push plate is slidably disposed in the storage groove, and the second push plate is in contact with the inner wall of the storage groove.

[0008] Preferably, there are two automatic reels and two wires, with both automatic reels fixed to the lower end of the worktable.

[0009] Preferably, the two wires are connected to the two ends of the first push plate respectively, and the operating table is provided with slots for the two wires to pass through; the two wires are symmetrical to the two ends of the first push plate.

[0010] Preferably, the cutting mechanism further includes a support arm, which is fixed to the upper end face of the operating table, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the upper end face of the support arm.

[0011] Preferably, both the controller and the cylinder are fixed on the operating table.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses two automatic winding machines to gradually feed neatly arranged plastic parts into the cutting groove. Each time a plastic part enters the cutting groove, it can be detected by a photoelectric sensor. At this time, the controller drives the cutting mechanism to run once to cut the sprue on the plastic part. Then the output mechanism runs automatically to push out the plastic part with the sprue cut off. It can be seen that the device operates completely automatically without human intervention, thereby greatly improving the degree of automation and increasing the processing efficiency of plastic parts.

The material transfer mechanism 2 includes an automatic winding device 21 and a first pushing plate 23 provided in the material trough 12. The first pushing plate 23 is slidably provided in the material trough 12 and is in contact with the inner wall of the material trough 12.

A cutting head 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 34. The output mechanism 4 includes a controller 42 and a cylinder 43 provided above the controller 42. Both the controller 42 and the cylinder 43 are fixed on the operating table 11.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 The material transfer mechanism 2 also includes wire 22 disposed on the automatic winding device 21. There are two automatic winding devices 21 and two wires 22. The two automatic winding devices 21 are fixed to the lower end face of the operating table 11. The two wires 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first push plate 23. The operating table 11 is provided with slots for the two wires 22 to pass through. The two wires 22 are symmetrical about the two ends of the first push plate 23.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 Two mounting slots 14 are provided in the cutting slot 13. Two photoelectric sensors 41 are provided, and the two photoelectric sensors 41 are respectively installed in the two mounting slots 14. A storage slot 15 is also provided in the cutting slot 13.

Two automatic winding machines 21 operate, feeding each neatly arranged plastic part one by one to the cutting slot 13. Each time a plastic part enters the cutting slot 13, it is detected by two photoelectric sensors 41. At this time, the two photoelectric sensors 41 transmit electrical signals to the controller 42, causing the controller 42 to drive the hydraulic cylinder 32 and the motor 34. The motor 34 drives the cutting head 35 to rotate at high speed. The controller 42 then drives the hydraulic cylinder 32 to first drive the motor 34 and the cutting head 35. The cutting head 35 descends into the cutting slot 13, cutting the plastic part.
