Mould opening manipulator for injection molding of plastic bracket

Abstract

According to the mold opening mechanical arm for injection molding of the plastic support, in the working process, the robot arm drives the mold opening mechanism to a mold to be subjected to mold opening. The first driving air cylinder drives the first fixing rod to be inserted into a lower fixing hole formed in the lower mold through the first driving plate. The second driving air cylinder drives the second fixing rod to be inserted into an upper fixing hole formed in the upper mold through the second driving plate. The pulling air cylinder drives the two limiting units through the pulling plate to drive the upper mold to move away from the lower mold, and meanwhile the pushing air cylinder drives the pulling plate through the pushing plate to drive the two limiting units to drive the upper mold to move away from the lower mold. And thus, the mold opening operation is completed. In the process, the sliding block is inserted into the sliding groove and is in sliding connection with the bearing plate, so that the moving track of the bearing plate is limited, and the working stability of the mold opening mechanism is improved. The mold opening manipulator for injection molding of the plastic bracket can conveniently open an injection mold, and is simple, convenient and high in efficiency.

[0002] Injection molding is a method of industrial product manufacturing. Products are typically produced using rubber injection molding and plastic injection molding. Injection molding can also be divided into injection molding compression molding and die casting. Plastic injection molding is a method of producing plastic products by injecting molten plastic into a mold under pressure, which then cools and solidifies to obtain various desired plastic parts. There are specialized machines used for injection molding, such as injection molding machines. The most commonly used plastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, PA, and polystyrene. The injection mold is the core equipment required for injection molding. Liquid plastic raw materials are injected into the mold cavity, and after cooling and solidification, the mold is opened to remove the cooled and solidified product.
