[0024] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A sheet metal injection molding machine 10 includes: a feeding module 100, a transfer module 200, and an injection molding module 300. The injection molding module 300 is disposed on one side of the feeding module 100, and the transfer module 200 is disposed above the feeding module 100 and the injection molding module 300. The transfer module 200 includes a frame 210 and is connected to the injection molding module 300 through the frame 210. The transfer module 200 is used to transfer the sheet metal on the feeding module 100 to the injection molding module 300, and the injection molding module 300 is used to perform injection molding on the sheet metal.

[0026] It should be noted that by setting up the feeding module 100, the transfer module 200, and the injection molding module 300, the iron sheets can be placed manually on the feeding module 100. Since the product is made by injection molding multiple iron sheets, the feeding module 100 can orderly transport the scattered iron sheets to the material handling area of ​​the transfer module 200 and arrange the multiple iron sheets neatly according to production requirements. The transfer module 200 then moves the neatly arranged iron sheets above the injection molding module 300. The transfer module 200 moves down to simultaneously embed the multiple iron sheets into the injection molding module 300, so that the multiple iron sheets are injection molded into the product. Finally, the transfer module 200 removes the product from the injection molding module 300 to complete the unloading. In this way, most of the manual operation is replaced, the efficiency of placing iron sheets into the injection molding equipment 10 is improved, and the accuracy of placing iron sheets into the injection molding equipment 10 is uniform, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the feeding module 100 includes a vibratory feeding component 110, a picking component 120 and a feeding component 130. The picking component 120 is disposed between the vibratory feeding component 110 and the feeding component 130. The picking component 120 is used to transfer the iron sheet from the vibratory feeding component 110 to the feeding component 130.

[0028] It should be noted that the vibrating feeding component 110 transports the iron sheets to the picking component 120 in an orderly manner. The picking component 120 then moves the iron sheets to the feeding component 130 and places them on the feeding component 130 according to the settings. When the number of iron sheets on the feeding component 130 is sufficient to process one product, the feeding component 130 drives the iron sheets to move towards the transfer module 200.

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 2In one embodiment, the vibrating feeding assembly 110 includes multiple vibrating feeding discs 111 and multiple conveying channels 112. The conveying channels 112 have inlets 112a and outlets 112b. The vibrating feeding discs 111 are connected to the inlets 112a. The vibrating feeding discs 111 generate vibration to automatically convey the iron sheets to the inlets 112a of the conveying channels 112. The conveying channels 112 can limit the iron sheets so that the iron sheets are arranged neatly and orderly before being moved to the outlets 112b.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the material handling component 120 includes a first feeding guide rail 121, a first sensing element 122, and a feeding robot 123. The first sensing element 122 is disposed at one end of the first feeding guide rail 121 near the vibrating feeding component 110, and the feeding robot 123 is slidably disposed on the first feeding guide rail 121.

[0031] It should be noted that the loading robot 123 is used to move the iron sheet on the discharge port 112b toward the feeding assembly 130. When an iron sheet is placed on the discharge port 112b of the conveying channel 112, it can be sensed by the first sensor 122 located on the first loading guide rail 121, and the loading robot 123 is driven to move to the discharge port 112b of the conveying channel 112 to pick up the iron sheet. After the loading robot 123 has finished picking up the iron sheet, it will move the iron sheet toward the feeding assembly 130.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 130 includes a second feeding guide rail 131, a second sensor 132, and a loading platform 133. The second sensor 132 is disposed at one end of the second feeding guide rail 131 near the material picking assembly 120. The loading platform 133 is slidably disposed on the second feeding guide rail 131 and is used to drive the iron sheet to move towards the material transfer module 200.

[0033] It should be noted that the loading robot 123 places the iron sheet on the loading platform 133, and then moves to the discharge port 112b of the conveying channel 112 to pick up the iron sheet until the number of iron sheets on the loading platform 133 is sufficient to process into a primary product. By setting the second sensor 132, the iron sheets on the loading platform 133 can be arranged neatly according to the production requirements. When the number of iron sheets on the loading platform 133 is sufficient to process into a primary product, the loading platform 133 moves to the material transfer module 200 to pick up the material via the second loading guide rail 131.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the material transfer module 200 includes a first material transfer guide rail 220, a second material transfer guide rail 230, a third material transfer guide rail 240, and a material transfer robot assembly 250. The first material transfer guide rail 220 is connected to the frame 210. The second material transfer guide rail 230 is slidably disposed on the first material transfer guide rail 220. The third material transfer guide rail 240 is slidably disposed on the second material transfer guide rail 230. The end of the third material transfer guide rail 240 near the injection molding module 300 is rotatably connected to the material transfer robot assembly 250.

[0035] It should be noted that the material transfer module 200 is fixed on the injection molding module 300 by connecting the first material transfer guide rail 220 to the frame 210. The material transfer robot assembly 250 reciprocates above the loading module 100 and the injection molding module 300 via the first material transfer guide rail 220. The material transfer robot assembly 250 is aligned with the injection molding module 300 via the second material transfer guide rail 230. The material transfer robot assembly 250 descends into the injection molding module 300 via the third material transfer guide rail 240 to embed the iron sheet into the injection molding module 300.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the material handling robot assembly 250 includes a connector 251, a picking component 252, an embedding component 253, and a drive component 254. The picking component 252 and the embedding component 253 are respectively disposed on both sides of the connector 251. One end of the connector 251 is rotatably connected to the third material handling guide rail 240, and the other end of the connector 251 is rotatably connected to the picking component 252. The drive component 254 is connected to the embedding component 253.

[0037] It should be noted that when the material handling robot assembly 250 descends into the injection mold 300 via the third material handling guide 240, it uses the material handling component 252 located on one side of the connector 251 to pick up the processed product from the injection mold 300. Since one end of the connector 251 is rotatably connected to the material handling component 252, the position of the material handling component 252 relative to the injection mold 300 can be adjusted, allowing the material handling robot assembly 250 to more accurately remove the product. Because the position of the material handling component 252 is lower than the position of the embedded part 253, after the material handling component 252 has finished picking up the product, the material handling robot assembly 250 then... The material transfer guide 240 moves downward, causing the embedded part 253 on the other side of the connector 251 to be driven by the drive part 254 to embed the iron sheet into the injection molding module 300. Since the other end of the connector 251 is rotatably connected to the third material transfer guide 240, the material transfer robot assembly 250 can be adjusted in position through the connector 251, so that the material transfer robot assembly 250 can embed the iron sheet into the injection molding module 300 more accurately. After the embedded part 253 embeds the iron sheet into the injection molding module 300, the material transfer robot assembly 250 moves upward through the third material transfer guide 240 to unload the product on the picking part 252.

[0038] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the injection molding module 300 includes a machine base 310 and an injection molding component 320. A receiving cavity 311 is formed in the machine base 310, and the injection molding component 320 is disposed on the receiving cavity 311. This arrangement makes the structure of the injection molding equipment 10 more compact.

[0039] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 In one embodiment, the injection molding assembly 320 includes a first mold base 321, a second mold base 322, and an injection tube 323. The first mold base 321 and the second mold base 322 cooperate to form an injection cavity, and the injection tube 323 passes through the second mold base 322 and communicates with the injection cavity.

[0040] It should be noted that when the material transfer robot assembly 250 moves down into the injection molding module 300, the embedded part 253 on the material transfer robot assembly 250 is directly facing the second mold base 322. After the embedded part 253 places the iron sheet into the second mold base 322, the material transfer robot assembly 250 moves up, and the first mold base 321 and the second mold base 322 are closed. The injection tube 323 is inserted into the injection cavity formed by the cooperation of the first mold base 321 and the second mold base 322 to inject the iron sheet into the product.

[0041] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 In one embodiment, the injection molding assembly 320 further includes a top plate 324, a fixed plate 325, and a connecting rod 326. The two ends of the connecting rod 326 are respectively connected to the fixed plate 325 and the second mold base 322. The top plate 324 is slidably disposed on the connecting rod 326. An ejector pin 324a is disposed on the top plate 324. A through hole is opened on the second mold base 322. The ejector pin 324a is disposed opposite to the through hole. The side of the fixed plate 325 away from the connecting rod 326 is fixedly connected to the machine base 310.

[0042] It should be noted that the injection molding assembly 320 is fixedly connected to the machine base 310 via the fixing plate 325. A connecting rod 326 is provided between the fixing plate 325 and the second mold base 322. The top plate 324 is slidably disposed on the connecting rod 326, so that the top plate 324 is slidably disposed between the fixing plate 325 and the second mold base 322. After the iron sheet in the injection cavity is injection molded to form a product, the product is attached to the second mold base 322. The top plate 324 is provided with ejector pins 324a. The second mold base 322 has a through hole, and the ejector pins 324a are arranged opposite to the through hole. The ejector pins 324a push the product out into the first mold base 321 through the through hole. When the material transfer robot assembly 250 moves down into the injection molding module 300, the material picking part 252 on the material transfer robot assembly 250 is facing the first mold base 321, thereby removing the product.

[0043] Please refer to it again. Figure 1In one embodiment, the system further includes a feeding module 400, which is disposed between the loading module 100 and the injection molding module 300. The feeding module 400 includes a fixed frame 410, a conveyor belt 420, and a drive motor. The conveyor belt 420 and the drive motor are respectively disposed on the fixed frame 410. The drive motor is connected to the conveyor belt 420. When the material handling robot assembly 250 takes the product out of the injection molding module 300 and places it on the conveyor belt 420, the drive motor drives the conveyor belt 420 to move the product toward the manual feeding area.

[0044] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
