DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model discloses a further detailed description of the contents of the utility model is made below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0023] As Figure 1 The utility model discloses an online cooling device for injection molding piece, including conveying mechanism 1 and cooling mechanism 2. Among them, conveying mechanism 1 is used for transporting the carrier 3 of carrying injection molding piece, and the support 5 is fixed on conveying mechanism 1, the support 5 is arranged as n-shaped structure, and the cavity is formed between the support 5 and conveying mechanism 1. In this embodiment, cooling mechanism 2 is arranged in the cavity and can adopt fan or air conditioner according to specific cooling demand, and the top end of cooling mechanism 2 is fixed with the middle part of support 5. The bottom end of cooling mechanism 2 is used as the air outlet end, and the cooling channel for the carrier 3 is formed between the bottom end and conveying mechanism 1.

[0024] As Figure 2 Combining the drawings, conveying mechanism 1 includes conveying base 11, and the both ends of conveying base 11 are provided with conveying wheels 12. A pair of conveying wheels 12 are provided with conveying pieces 13 in cooperation, and the carrier 3 is fixed on the conveying pieces 13. The conveying wheels 12 rotate around the axis under the drive of the motor, thereby driving the conveying pieces 13 to operate, and making the carrier 3 have annular path along the vertical plane. Among them, the section of the annular path of carrier 3 close to cooling mechanism 2 is structured as cooling section, and the both ends of cooling section are injection molding piece's feeding station and discharging station respectively. The section of the annular path of carrier 3 away from cooling mechanism 2 is structured as the recycling section of carrier 3, and the injection molding piece in carrier 3 is discharged in the discharging station, so the carrier 3 in the recycling section is empty, and is put into new injection molding piece to be cooled when entering the feeding station.

[0025] In this embodiment, the conveying wheels 12 adopt sprocket, and the corresponding conveying pieces 13 adopt conveying chain. A plurality of mounting blocks 14 are fixed on the conveying chain at equal intervals. As Figure 3 The carrier 3 includes bottom plate 31, and the mounting holes 32 are formed in the bottom plate 31 corresponding to the mounting blocks 14. The carrier 3 and the conveying chain are fixed by the fasteners penetrating the mounting holes 32 and the mounting blocks 14. In addition, the carrier 3 is fixed with the carrying block 33 on the bottom plate 31, and the carrying groove is formed on the carrying block 33 corresponding to the injection molding piece. The injection molding piece is placed in the carrying groove. And, as Figure 1 In order to ensure the smooth operation of the carrier 3 on the conveying chain, a plurality of supporting wheels 15 are arranged on the conveying base 11 corresponding to the cooling section along the running direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The carrier 3 is attached to the supporting wheels 15 when being driven to run by the conveying chain.

[0026] When the carrier 3 runs on the conveying chain, there is a certain uncertainty in its spatial position due to the matching gap between the chain links of the conveying chain, thereby causing the external equipment to be prone to inaccurate positioning when feeding or discharging the injection molding piece on the carrier 3. Therefore, the positioning mechanism 4 is fixed on the conveying base 11, as Figure 1 andFigure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 4 is provided with two corresponding feeding stations and unloading stations, any positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning cylinder 41 fixed with the conveying base 11, the execution end of the positioning cylinder 41 is provided with a positioning pin 42, and the bottom plate 31 of the carrier 3 is provided with a positioning hole 34 corresponding to the positioning pin 42, when the carrier 3 enters the feeding station or the unloading station, the positioning pin 42 is driven by the positioning cylinder 41 to be clamped with the positioning hole 34, so as to limit the position of the carrier 3.

[0027] When working:

[0028] When any carrier 3 enters the feeding station, the positioning mechanism 4 located in the feeding station acts to accurately position the carrier 3, the external mechanical arm puts the injection molded part into the carrier 3, the positioning mechanism 4 is separated from the carrier 3, and the conveying mechanism 1 drives the carrier 3 loaded with the injection molded part to enter the cooling channel to cool. When the carrier 3 passes through the cooling channel and enters the unloading station, the positioning mechanism 4 located in the unloading station acts to accurately position the carrier 3 again, the external mechanical arm takes out the injection molded part from the carrier 3 to complete the unloading. The empty carrier 3 reenters the feeding station through the recycling section and repeats the above operation.

[0029] The above embodiment is only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and it cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present application, therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application.
