Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold ejector pin breakage detection technology, specifically a hardware mold broken pin detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Ejector pins and some mold core components on molds are relatively small and prone to breakage during production. These broken components are often embedded in the plastic product. If ejector pin breakage is not detected promptly, it results in a large number of defective and scrapped products. Reworking these defective products requires significant manpower, increasing labor costs and compromising production efficiency. Furthermore, failure to detect broken ejector pins in a timely manner reduces the effective utilization rate of the injection molding machine and the mold.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217803174U discloses a mold pin breakage detection device. The device includes a body; a container for holding plastic products; a conveying mechanism for transferring plastic products, positioned above the container to allow plastic products to fall into the container; a metal detector positioned between the conveying mechanism and the container, with a detection cavity for plastic products to pass through, to detect information about the plastic products currently in the detection cavity; and a controller communicatively connected to both the conveying mechanism and the metal detector to control the movement of the conveying mechanism based on the plastic product information transmitted by the metal detector. The device also includes a flexible buffer, tilted and with one end connected to the metal detector and the other end connected to the container. This solves the problem of not being able to detect broken pins promptly and effectively.
[0004] The common problem with the broken needle detection device in the aforementioned patent and similar devices on the market is that it cannot protect the ejector pin according to changes in ejector pin pressure. This means that detection and replacement can only be carried out after the ejector pin breaks. Furthermore, the device cannot effectively clean the working area of the ejector pin during use, which deteriorates the working environment of the ejector pin and shortens its service life. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a broken ejector pin detection device for metal molds is provided. When it is necessary to detect broken ejector pins, the horizontal position of the ejector pin is adjusted, and the ejector pin is withdrawn from the injection mold. After withdrawal, the ejector pin continues to advance and contacts the detection head. The display screen will show the pressure detection. When the broken ejector pin no longer contacts the detection head, the display screen will issue a warning, informing the operator that the ejector pin has broken. During the horizontal movement of the ejector pin, air will be injected into the air storage plate. The air storage plate can remove impurities left inside the mold, making it convenient for users.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a broken needle detection device for hardware molds, comprising a fixed base, a mounting base, a detection plate, a detection head, an ejector pin, an air storage plate, a display screen, and an air storage cylinder. The mounting base is disposed on one side of the fixed base, the detection plate is disposed above the fixed base, the detection head is disposed inside the detection plate, the ejector pin is disposed above the mounting base, the air storage plate is disposed above the fixed base, the display screen is disposed above the mounting base, and the air storage cylinder is disposed above the display screen.

[0010] Furthermore, a rectangular hole is provided on the top of the mounting base, and a push plate connected to the ejector pin is slidably installed inside the rectangular hole. A screw rod passes through the internal thread of the push plate, and a working motor is provided at the input end of the screw rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the mounting base is provided with a vertical plate connected to the air storage cylinder, and the input end of the air storage cylinder is provided with a hollow tube, and a plug rod connected to the push plate is slidably installed inside the hollow tube.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the broken needle detection device for hardware molds is reasonable and has the following advantages:
[0013] (1) The fixed base is connected to the mounting base. The detection head is installed through the detection plate above the fixed base. When it is necessary to detect the broken pin, the horizontal position of the pin is adjusted and the pin is withdrawn from the injection mold. After being withdrawn, the pin continues to move forward. When the pin moves forward and contacts the detection head, the display screen will show the pressure test to detect the stability of the pin installation. When the broken pin does not contact the detection head, the display screen will issue a warning to inform the staff that the pin has broken. During the horizontal movement of the pin, air will be injected into the air storage plate. The nozzle outside the air storage plate can remove the impurities left inside the mold, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0014] (2) Start the working motor. The working motor drives the screw to rotate. The screw thread passes through the push plate, which can make the push plate slide horizontally inside the rectangular hole, thus realizing the supply of kinetic energy to the push plate. When the push plate moves, the horizontal position of the stopper rod can be controlled. The stopper rod makes piston movement inside the hollow tube, which can continuously fill the air tank with air, making it convenient for users to clean the display screen below the air tank.

[0023] The fixed base 1 is connected to the mounting base 2. The detection head 4 is installed on the detection plate 3 above the fixed base 1. When it is necessary to detect broken ejector pin 5, the horizontal position of ejector pin 5 is adjusted, and ejector pin 5 is used to withdraw from the injection mold. After being withdrawn, ejector pin 5 continues to move forward and contacts the detection head 4. The display screen 7 will display the pressure detection. When the broken ejector pin 5 is no longer in contact with the detection head 4, the display screen 7 will issue a warning to inform the staff that ejector pin 5 has broken. During the horizontal movement of ejector pin 5, air will be charged into the air storage plate 6.
