Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a device for automatically removing injection molding gates. Background Technology
[0002] For automotive parts and other types of injection molded parts, the gates or overlapping support structures set in the production process need to be removed with pliers after injection molding and demolding before they can be transferred to the next process.
[0003] In existing technologies, manual removal is usually used. However, when a component has multiple gates (gates), support structures, or flow guiding structures, there is a risk of missing gates, which may require rework in the next process. At the same time, operators are prone to fatigue when trimming gates (gates) for a long time, which reduces the self-inspection of product quality and easily creates quality risk points. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an automatic device for removing injection gates. The pneumatic shears work under the action of the controller to remove the gates or overlapping support structures, thereby realizing the rapid and automatic removal of multiple gates or overlapping support structures of injection molded parts.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: An automatic device for removing injection molding gates includes a processing table. The upper surface of the processing table is provided with a locking component for fixing the injection molded part. The processing table has a receiving cavity. A shearing component is provided in the receiving cavity corresponding to the position of the locking component. The locking component includes a placement plate and a pressure plate fixed on the processing table. The placement plate has a receiving groove for accommodating the injection molded part and a slot communicating with the receiving cavity. The processing table is also provided with a first driving component for driving the pressure plate to rise and fall. The shearing component includes shearing pliers, a second driving component for driving the shearing pliers to slide along the X-axis direction, and a third driving component for driving the shearing pliers to slide along the Y-axis direction. The shearing pliers enter and exit the slot under the action of the third driving component.
[0006] Using the above technical solution, during the injection molding process, after the injection molding machine opens the mold, the robot receives a signal to remove the part, transfers it into the automatic sprue removal equipment, and places it into the receiving tank. The first drive unit drives the pressure plate to descend and press it onto the injection molded part, locking and fixing the injection molded part. The second drive unit drives the shearing pliers to move to the position below the sprue, and the third drive unit drives the shearing pliers to rise, controlling the shearing pliers to remove the gate or overlapping support structure, realizing the rapid and automatic removal of multiple gates or overlapping support structures of injection molded parts.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that a sensor is provided on the processing table, and a through hole is provided on the placement plate corresponding to the sensor position, so that the sensor can detect the injection molded part in the receiving groove.
[0008] The above-mentioned further configuration is used to sense whether there is an injection molded part in the receiving groove. After sensing that there is an injection molded part in the receiving groove, a signal is sent, and each driving component can start working, thus avoiding wasted effort.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that at least two pressure plates are provided along the length of the shelf, and two corresponding first driving components are provided, with the two pressure plates connected to the output shaft of the corresponding first driving component.
[0010] By further modifying the above-mentioned settings, the two ends of the injection molded part in the receiving groove are pressed, so that the structure of the injection molded part is stable when the shearing pliers are working, and one end is prevented from lifting up, which would affect the removal operation.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is as follows: two opposing mounting plates are fixedly arranged inside the accommodating cavity, and the shearing pliers assembly is provided on both mounting plates. The second driving member is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and the third driving member is connected to the output shaft of the second driving member through a connecting plate. The shearing pliers are mounted on the output shaft of the third driving member.
[0012] With the above-mentioned further configuration, two shears are provided on the output shafts of the two third drive components, which can work simultaneously, resulting in higher efficiency. The mounting plate provides a stable structure for the shear assembly.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a material holding tray is slidably disposed within the accommodating cavity, the upper end of the material holding tray is open, the front side of the processing table is provided with an opening, and the front side of the material holding tray extends out of the accommodating cavity through the opening.
[0014] With the above-mentioned further configuration, the gates or overlapping support structures removed by the shearing pliers fall into the material collection tray for collection. The material collection tray can then be cleaned, avoiding clutter.
[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the front side panel of the material tray is provided with a handle, and both ends of the front side panel of the material tray are connected to the processing table via locking components.
[0016] With the above-mentioned further design, the handle facilitates the pushing and pulling of the material tray, and the locking component fixes the material tray to the processing table, making its structure stable. Attached Figure Description
