[0026] Example
[0027] To address the shortcomings of manual handling of stamped fan cover parts, finished injection-molded parts, and waste materials during the fan cover injection molding process in existing technologies, referenced... Figure 1-5 As shown, this application discloses a fan cover injection molding robot, including a horizontal arm 10, a horizontal moving mechanism 20 disposed above the horizontal arm 10, a vertical arm 30 connected to the horizontal moving mechanism 20, two vertical moving mechanisms 40 disposed on the vertical arm 30, two lifting moving mechanisms 50 connected to the two vertical moving mechanisms 40, a waste clamp 60 connected to the bottom of one of the lifting moving mechanisms 50, and a side posture adjustment mechanism 70 connected to the bottom of the other lifting moving mechanism 50. The bottom of the side posture adjustment mechanism 70 is provided with a connecting frame 80, and the bottom of the connecting frame 80 is provided with a loading plate 90 and a unloading plate 100 arranged side by side on one side of the loading plate 90. Two support plates 110 are arranged longitudinally at the bottom of the loading plate 90. The upper part of the loading carrier plate 90 is provided with four guide pins 130, which are connected to two support plates 110 in pairs. A spring 140 is sleeved between the pin head of the guide pin 130 and the loading carrier plate 90. It should be noted that by setting the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 120 in this way, the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 120 can flexibly pick up the fan cover stamping part with relatively high precision, effectively ensuring that the injection molded part meets the expected requirements. The bottom of the two support plates 110 is respectively equipped with pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120. The bottom of the unloading carrier plate 100 has two sets of suction head assemblies 150 arranged longitudinally. The use of two sets of suction head assemblies 150 for unloading can not only pick up the injection molded part, but also reduce the enterprise cost, which has high application value.
[0028] Based on the above structure of the injection molding robot, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, a special fixture B needs to be set up to simultaneously hold two fan cover stamping parts and two injection molded finished parts.
[0029] In practice, the operator or robot places the two fan cover stamping parts to be injected onto the fixture at the designated position. First, two pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120 pick them up separately. Then, two sets of suction head assemblies 150 suck up the injection molded parts after the mold is opened. At the same time, the waste clamp 60 removes the waste. Next, the two pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120 place the sucked-up fan cover stamping parts into the horizontal injection mold. Finally, the two pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120 pick up the two placed fan cover stamping parts from the fixture. At the same time, the two sets of suction head assemblies 150 place the sucked-up injection molded parts onto fixture B. The above actions require the corresponding driving of the lateral movement mechanism 20, two longitudinal movement mechanisms 40, two lifting movement mechanisms 50, and the side posture adjustment mechanism 70. The detailed process will not be described in detail here.
[0030] The lateral movement mechanism 20 includes two first guide rails 21 arranged side by side above the lateral arm 10, a first rack 22 disposed between the two first guide rails 21 on the lateral arm 10, a lateral movement seat 23 slidably disposed on the two first guide rails 21, a first reduction motor 24 disposed above the lateral movement seat 23 and having its output shaft pass through the lateral movement seat 23, and a first gear 25 mounted on the output shaft of the first reduction motor 24 and meshing with the first rack 22. When the first reduction motor 24 drives the first gear 25 to rotate, the first gear 25 will cooperate with the first rack 22 to make the lateral movement seat 23 move on the lateral arm 10.
[0031] The longitudinal moving mechanism 40 includes two second guide rails 41 arranged side by side on one side of the longitudinal arm 30, a second rack 42 located above the longitudinal arm 30, a longitudinal moving seat 43 slidably arranged on the two second guide rails 41, a second reduction motor 44 located above the longitudinal moving seat 43 with its output shaft passing through the longitudinal moving seat 43, and a second gear 55 mounted on the output shaft of the second reduction motor 44 and meshing with the second rack 42. When the second reduction motor 44 drives the second gear 55 to rotate, the second gear 55 will cooperate with the second rack 42 to make the longitudinal moving seat 43 move on the longitudinal arm 30. It should be noted that the two longitudinal moving mechanisms 40 have the same operating principle, which will not be described in detail in this application.
[0032] The lifting and moving mechanism 50 includes a slider 51 fixed to one side of the longitudinal moving seat 43, a lifting arm 52 slidably connected to the slider 51 via a third guide rail 53, a third reduction motor 54 located on one side of the longitudinal moving seat 43 with its output shaft passing through the longitudinal moving seat 43, a pulley 55 mounted on the output shaft of the third reduction motor 54, a belt fixing assembly 57 located on the side of the lifting arm 52 near the longitudinal moving seat 43, and a transmission belt 56 sleeved on the pulley 55 and connected to the belt fixing assembly 57. When the third reduction motor 54 drives the third gear 75 to rotate, the transmission belt 56 will cooperate with the belt fixing assembly 57 to lift and lower the lifting arm 52. It should also be noted that the two lifting and moving mechanisms 50 in this application have the same operating principle, and will not be described in detail here.
[0033] Specifically, the belt fixing assembly 57 of this application consists of a belt clamp 571 and a belt pressure plate 572. During installation, the transmission belt 56 will be clamped between the belt clamp 571 and the belt pressure plate 572. In order to tension and guide the transmission belt 56, the first guide wheel 58 and the second guide wheel 59 are offsetly installed on the side of the longitudinal moving seat 43 near the lifting arm 52, which are in contact with the transmission belt 56. During the movement of the belt, the first guide wheel 58 and the second guide wheel 59 will rotate to achieve the corresponding purpose.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the waste clamp 60 of this application is a finger cylinder, which can lower or clamp the waste by controlling the opening and closing of the two grippers of the finger cylinder.
[0035] In this embodiment, the side posture adjustment mechanism 70 of this application includes a linear cylinder 71, a third rack 72 disposed on the piston rod of the linear cylinder 71, two hinge plates 73 disposed on opposite sides below the linear cylinder 71, a rotating shaft 74 rotatably disposed between the two hinge plates 73, a third gear 75 sleeved on the rotating shaft 74 and meshing with the third rack 72, and an adjustment plate 76 disposed on the third gear 75. During the process of the linear cylinder 71 driving its piston rod to extend and retract, the third rack 72 will drive the third gear 75 to rotate, causing the adjustment plate 76 to rotate and adjust. It should be noted that the adjustment plate 76 of this application rotates by 90° each time.
[0036] In this embodiment, the present application also provides two spring positioning pins 160 diagonally opposite each other at the bottom of the connecting plate. Correspondingly, Figure 1 The fixture B shown has two pin holes B' on one side at an angle. When the two pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120 pick up the two fan cover stamping parts on the fixture, the two spring positioning pins 160 should be inserted into the two pin holes B' accordingly. In this way, the two pneumatic vacuum suction cups 120 can accurately pick up the two fan cover stamping parts.
[0037] Specifically, the suction head assembly 150 of this application includes three pneumatic suction heads 151. When picking up two injection molded parts formed in a horizontal injection molding machine, the three pneumatic suction heads 151 included in each suction head assembly 150 will operate simultaneously to pick up the injection molded parts. This method can reduce costs when the accuracy requirements are not high and has high application value.
