Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically to a material conveying device for an injection molding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the injection molding industry, a large amount of sprue is generated after the injection molding machine produces plastic products. Traditional sprue handling relies heavily on manual operation. Workers need to wait next to the injection molding machine until the injection process is completed and the mold is opened, then manually remove the sprue and transport it to a designated collection area. This manual handling mode has many drawbacks.
[0003] On the one hand, manual operation is extremely inefficient. With the accelerating pace of injection molding production, frequent manual material handling and transportation consume a significant amount of time, severely limiting overall production efficiency and failing to meet the demands of modern large-scale production. Furthermore, prolonged, high-intensity, repetitive labor can easily lead to worker fatigue, further increasing the probability of errors and potentially affecting product quality. On the other hand, manual handling of material scraps poses safety hazards. Injection molding workshops are complex environments with high temperatures, high pressures, and moving mechanical parts. Workers frequently moving through these areas to retrieve and transport materials are at risk of burns, collisions, and other accidents, endangering their personal safety. Additionally, haphazardly piled material scraps not only occupy considerable workshop space but also hinder subsequent recycling, crushing, and reprocessing processes, potentially leading to material waste and increased production costs.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an injection molding machine material head conveying device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material conveying device for injection molding machines to solve the problems currently found in the market as described in the background.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution:
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material conveying device for an injection molding machine, comprising a feeding module, a conveying module, and a collecting module, wherein the feeding module includes a feeding bag support frame, and a feeding bag body is detachably installed on the upper end of the feeding bag support frame;
[0009] The conveying module includes a production line support frame one, a lifting mechanism is installed above the middle of the production line support frame one, and a production line support frame two is installed at the output end of the lifting mechanism. A vibrating conveying mechanism is installed above the production line support frame two, and the vibrating conveying mechanism is used to convey the injection molding machine head.
[0010] The collection module includes a base plate, a vibration base mechanism is mounted on the top of the base plate, and a collection box for storing injection molding machine head is placed on the top of the vibration base mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, rollers are installed on both the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the assembly line support frame, with the two rollers on the left being omnidirectional wheels and the two rollers on the right being fixed wheels.
[0012] The above technical solution makes it easier to adjust the position of the conveying module to better adapt to different injection molding machine production layouts and different site environments, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the device.
[0013] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism adopts a lifting hydraulic cylinder, and the material unloading bag body is made of 304 stainless steel.
[0014] The above technical solution enables the lifting hydraulic cylinder to move up and down, adapting to collection boxes of different heights, once activated.
[0015] Furthermore, the vibrating conveying mechanism includes a conveying ramp, a spring is installed between the lower end of the conveying ramp and the assembly line support frame 2, a vibrating motor is installed below the conveying ramp, the upper left end of the conveying ramp is opposite to the discharge port of the discharge bag body, and the lower right end of the conveying ramp is opposite to the inlet of the collection box.
[0016] The above technical solution ensures that once the vibrating motor starts, the material head can be smoothly transported from the discharge point to the collection box, avoiding blockages.
[0017] Furthermore, the vibration base mechanism includes a base plate located above the substrate, a vibration motor II is installed in the lower middle part of the base plate, and a number of telescopic components are installed between the base plate and the substrate. The telescopic components include guide rods fixed on the substrate, and spring II is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rods. The two ends of the spring II are respectively connected to the substrate and the base plate.
[0018] The above technical solution enables the collection box on the base plate to vibrate when the second vibration motor is started, so that the material head is evenly distributed, avoiding concentration in one place and improving the collection capacity.
[0019] Furthermore, a fixing mechanism is installed on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the base plate. The fixing mechanism includes a mounting plate fixed to the base plate. A threaded rod is mounted on the mounting plate with a bearing. A clamping block is threaded on the outer side of the threaded rod. A guide plate is attached to the side of the clamping block. The guide plate is fixed to the mounting plate. The clamping block and the protrusion form a convex-concave fit. The protrusion is fixed to the side of the collection box.
[0020] The above technical solution enables the threaded rod to rotate, thereby displacing the clamping block and allowing it to be fitted onto the outside of the protrusion, thus connecting and fixing the base plate and the collection box and improving the stability of the collection.
[0021] Furthermore, the lower end of the collection box is equipped with a second roller, and the front end of the bottom plate is inclined.
[0022] The above technical solution allows the collection box to slide onto the bottom plate via rollers after the front end of the bottom plate contacts the ground.
[0023] 3. Beneficial effects:

Compared with manual handling and collection of sprues, it greatly improves work efficiency and reduces labor costs. The specific details are as follows:
[0025] Through a series of interconnected modular designs including feeding, conveying, and collecting, the machine can automatically complete the conveying and collection of injection molding machine heads without much manual intervention. Compared with manual handling and collection of the heads, this greatly improves work efficiency and reduces labor costs.
[0026] The lifting mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the conveying height to accommodate collection boxes of different heights, thus enabling better connection between upstream and downstream equipment. The rollers facilitate the movement and position adjustment of the conveying module, allowing the device to better adapt to different injection molding machine production layouts and different site environments, thereby enhancing the device's versatility and adaptability.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example
[0037] Please see Figure 1-4 A material conveying device for an injection molding machine includes a feeding module, a conveying module and a collecting module. The feeding module includes a feeding bag support frame 1, and a feeding bag body 2 is detachably installed on the upper end of the feeding bag support frame 1. The feeding bag body 2 is made of 304 stainless steel.
[0038] The material feeding bag support frame 1 serves to support the material feeding bag body 2, facilitating installation and disassembly operations according to actual conditions. Meanwhile, the material feeding bag body 2 is made of 304 stainless steel, which improves corrosion resistance and temperature resistance, and extends service life.
[0039] The conveying module includes a production line support frame 3, a lifting mechanism 4 installed above the middle of the production line support frame 3, a second production line support frame 5 installed at the output end of the lifting mechanism 4, and a vibrating conveying mechanism 6 installed above the second production line support frame 5. The vibrating conveying mechanism 6 is used to convey the injection molding machine head. Rollers 7 are installed on both the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the production line support frame 3. The two rollers 7 on the left side are universal wheels, and the two rollers 7 on the right side are fixed wheels. The lifting mechanism 4 adopts a lifting hydraulic cylinder. The vibrating conveying mechanism 6 includes a conveying ramp 61. A spring 62 is installed between the lower end of the conveying ramp 61 and the second production line support frame 5. A vibrating motor 63 is installed below the conveying ramp 61. The upper left side of the conveying ramp 61 is opposite to the discharge port of the discharge bag body 2, and the lower right side of the conveying ramp 61 is opposite to the inlet of the collection box 10.
[0040] The conveying module is connected to the existing robotic arm to generate a linkage signal between the two. When the robotic arm grabs the injection molding machine sprue and puts it into the material hopper body 2, the sprue falls above the conveying ramp 61. Through the cooperation of the vibrating motor 63 and the spring 62, the sprue moves to the right along the vibrating conveying ramp 61 and falls into the collection box 10 for collection. The vibrating motor 63 is equipped with an air switch to improve safety. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder can be activated to drive the conveying ramp 61 to move up and down to accommodate collection boxes 10 of different heights, so that the upstream and downstream equipment can be better connected. The roller 7 facilitates the movement and position adjustment of the conveying module, so that the device can better adapt to different injection molding machine production layouts and different site environments, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the device. At the same time, the conveying module is made of aluminum alloy, which improves its lightness and durability, and baffles are set on both sides of the conveying ramp 61 to prevent the sprue from falling off during the conveying process.
[0041] The collection module includes a base plate 8, a vibration base mechanism 9 mounted on top of the base plate 8, and a collection box 10 for storing injection molding machine parts placed above the vibration base mechanism 9. The vibration base mechanism 9 includes a base plate 91 located above the base plate 8, a vibration motor 92 mounted on the lower center of the base plate 91, and several telescopic members 93 installed between the base plate 91 and the base plate 8. Each telescopic member 93 includes a guide rod 931 fixed to the base plate 8, and a spring 932 sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 931. The two ends of the spring 932 are respectively connected to the base plate 8 and the base plate 91. Fixing mechanisms 11 are installed on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the base plate 91. The fixing mechanism 11 includes a mounting plate 111 fixed on the base plate 91. A threaded rod 112 is mounted on the mounting plate 111. A clamping block 113 is threaded on the outer side of the threaded rod 112. A guide plate 114 is attached to the side of the clamping block 113. The guide plate 114 is fixed on the mounting plate 111. The clamping block 113 and the protrusion 102 form a convex-concave fit. The protrusion 102 is fixed to the side of the collection box 10. A roller 101 is installed at the lower end of the collection box 10. The front end of the base plate 91 is inclined.
[0042] When the collection box 10 is placed on the base plate 91, the base plate 91 is first pressed down so that the front end of the base plate 91 is in contact with the ground. Then the collection box 10 slides onto the base plate 91 via the roller 101. Then the threaded rod 112 is rotated. The clamping block 113, which is threaded on the outside of the threaded rod 112, moves under the limiting action of the guide plate 114 until the clamping block 113 and the protrusion 102 form a convex-concave fit, fixing the collection box 10 on the base plate 91 and preventing it from moving randomly during vibration. When the vibration motor 92 works, it drives the base plate 91 to vibrate, which in turn causes the collection box 10 placed on it to vibrate as well. This helps the material head to be better distributed in the collection box 10 and avoids it from accumulating in one place.
[0043] Working principle: When using this injection molding machine's material head conveyor device, if... Figure 1-4 As shown, the conveying module is connected to the existing robot arm, so that the two generate a linkage signal. When the robot arm grabs the injection molding machine material head and puts it into the material bag body 2, the material head falls above the conveying ramp 61. Through the cooperation of the vibration motor 63 and the spring 62, the material head will move to the right along the vibrating conveying ramp 61 and fall into the collection box 10 for collection. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder can be activated to drive the conveying ramp 61 to move up and down to accommodate collection boxes 10 of different heights, so that the upstream and downstream equipment can be better connected. The roller 7 facilitates the movement and position adjustment of the conveying module. At the same time, when the vibration motor 92 is activated, it drives the base plate 91 to vibrate, which in turn causes the collection box 10 placed on it to vibrate as well, which helps the material head to be better distributed in the collection box 10 and avoids it from piling up in one place.
