Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding production technology, specifically a dual-station injection molding gate punching device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of plastic products, injection molding is typically used. During molding, excess molding material is generated at the gate (known in the industry as a sprue). To ensure product integrity and a good appearance, the remaining sprue needs to be removed after molding. Currently, traditionally, this is done by manually trimming the sprue after molding. However, manual trimming is inefficient, produces poor results, and is labor-intensive. Therefore, sprue cutting machines have been developed to improve upon this manual trimming method.

[0003] Currently, existing sprue punching machines perform sprue punching operations by placing the mold carrying the injection molded part on a station below the punching die. After punching, the entire mold carrying the injection molded part is removed manually or by an external robot and replaced with the mold carrying the injection molded part to be punched, and the punching operation is repeated. However, during the mold replacement period, the punching machine is in a standby state and cannot perform continuous punching operations, resulting in excessively slow punching efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-station injection molding part gate punching device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] As an optional technical solution for a dual-station injection molding part gate punching device, a third guide rod is connected between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the drive plate is slidably mounted on the third guide rod.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for a dual-station injection molding part gate punching device, the outer side of the Z-axis support plate is provided with multiple limit sensors, and the side of the drive plate is provided with a limit sensing plate that matches the limit sensors.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for a dual-station injection molding part gate punching device, two shoulder pieces are symmetrically installed on the top of the drive plate, and a "T"-shaped connector is engaged between the two shoulder pieces.

[0020] This utility model provides a dual-station injection molding part gate punching device, which includes a worktable and a punching mechanism mounted on the worktable. Turntables are rotatably mounted on the worktables on both the left and right sides of the punching mechanism.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a dual-station injection molding part sprue punching device. The dual-station injection molding part sprue punching device includes a worktable 1 and a punching mechanism 2 mounted on the worktable 1. Turntables 3 are rotatably mounted on the worktables 1 on both the left and right sides of the punching mechanism 2. Multiple jigs 30 are provided on the turntables 3. A lower cutting die 31 for holding the injection molding part 311 to be punched is mounted on the jigs 30. The punching mechanism 2 includes an "I"-shaped support frame 20 mounted on the worktable 1. A punching cylinder 21 is vertically downward mounted on the top of the support frame 20. An upper cutting die 22 is mounted on the telescopic end of the punching cylinder 21. A cutter 23 is provided inside the upper cutting die 22. The punching mechanism 2 has a dual-station structure. One edge of the turntable 3 extends to the bottom of the upper cutting die 22. The punching cylinder 21 drives the upper cutting die 22 to perform up and down punching motion relative to the lower cutting die 31.

[0038] This utility model provides a dual-station injection molding part sprue punching device. The injection molding part 311 with sprue material to be punched is placed on the lower cutting die 31 by manual operation or an external robotic arm. A rotary motor 32 drives a turntable 3 to rotate, moving the lower cutting die 31 carrying the injection molding part 311 below the upper cutting die 22. A punching cylinder 21 drives the upper cutting die 22 and the cutter 23 downwards, cutting the sprue material attached to the injection molding product. The punching cylinder 21 then drives the upper cutting die 22 and the cutter 23 upwards to reset. The rotary motor 32 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, and the downstream external robotic arm picks up the punched injection molding part 311. This cycle forms a continuous punching system, improving the punching efficiency of the dual-station injection molding part sprue punching device. Furthermore, the dual-station structure allows for simultaneous sprue punching of two different specifications of injection molding parts 311, increasing its applicability.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the upper cutting die 22 includes a drive plate 220 mounted on the telescopic end of the punching cylinder 21. The bottom of the drive plate 220 has two stacked mounting plates 221. A cutter 23 is vertically and downwardly fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 221. It should be noted that the number of cutters 23 and the spacing between them can be set according to the specifications and shape of the injection molded part 311 to be punched, so as to meet the requirements of punching sprue material for injection molded parts 311 of different specifications. On the other hand, four vertically downward first guide rods 224 are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the mounting plate 221, and two vertically downward hanging rods 223 are respectively installed at the longer two side edges of the bottom surface of the mounting plate 221. That is, the installation position of the hanging rods 223 is located at the cutter 21. On the outside of 3, it can provide greater clearance for the cutter 23 when it moves downward; furthermore, two movable plates 222 are slidably mounted on the lifting rod 223, and the movable plates 222 are provided with clearance cavities that match the accommodating cavity of the lower cutting die 31; the free end of the cutter 23 can pass through the movable plates 222; the two movable plates 222 are passed through the free end of the lifting rod 223, and the diameter of the bottom end of the movable plates 222 is larger than the diameter of the rod body, so that the movable plates 222 are hoisted on the lifting rod 223, so that the movable plates 222 can move up and down on the lifting rod 223 without detaching from the lifting rod 223; guide holes 28 are provided at the four corners of the movable plates 222, and the free end of the first guide rod 224 passes through the guide holes 28 and extends to the bottom of the movable plates 222, such as Figure 5As shown, positioning holes 310 matching the first guide rods 224 are respectively provided at the four corners of the lower cutting die 31. When the punching cylinder 21 drives the upper cutting die 22 and the cutter 23 to move downward, the free ends of the four first guide rods 224 are first inserted into the four positioning holes 310 of the lower cutting die 31 to achieve precise mold closing positioning between the movable plate 222 and the lower cutting die 31, which improves the accuracy of the dual-station injection molding part sprue punching device when punching sprue material. Secondly, springs 225 are respectively connected on the left and right sides between the mounting plate 221 and the movable plate 222. Before the movable plate 222 and the lower cutting die 31 are closed, the spring force of the springs 225 acts as a spring force. A certain gap is maintained between the mounting plate 221 and the movable plate 222, so that the free end of the cutter 23 retracts into the movable plate 222. When the punching cylinder 21 drives the entire upper cutting mold 22 to punch the sprue material of the injection molded part 311 on the lower cutting mold 31, the movable plate 222 will first close with the lower cutting mold 31 so that the cavity on the movable plate 222 can press and position the sprue material on the injection molded part 311. The punching cylinder 21 continues to drive the mounting plate 221 to move downward, the spring 225 is compressed, and the cutter 23 passes through the movable plate 222 to cut the sprue material on the injection molded part 311, thereby completing the efficient positioning and punching operation of the sprue material.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 20 includes two X-axis support plates 201 mounted on the workbench 1. A base plate 202 is connected to the top of the X-axis support plate 201, and Z-axis support plates 203 are respectively mounted on both sides of the base plate 202. A top plate 204 is connected to the top of the Z-axis support plate 203. The punching cylinder 21 is vertically mounted downwards on the top plate 204. Furthermore, two second guide rods 24 are spaced apart on the outer upper surface of the drive plate 220. The top ends of the second guide rods 24 pass through the top plate 204 and extend above it. A connecting rod 240 is installed between the top ends of the two second guide rods 24. When the punching cylinder 21 drives the upper cutting die 22 to move downwards, the connecting rod 240 effectively prevents the second guide rods 24 from detaching from the top plate 204, thus improving the upper cutting die 22's stability. The stability of the up-and-down movement; furthermore, a third guide rod 25 is connected between the top plate 204 and the bottom plate 202, and the drive plate 220 is slidably mounted on the third guide rod 25; in the above structure, two second guide rods 24 are set above the drive plate 220 and the top plate 204, and two third guide rods 25 are set on the inner side of the upper cutting die 22 close to the support frame 20, so that the turntable 3 can extend to the lower part of the upper cutting die 22 to drive the lower cutting die 31 to rotate below the upper cutting die 22, thereby realizing that the multiple lower cutting dies 31 on the turntable 3 can continuously transfer the injection molded part 311 to the lower part of the upper cutting die 22 for sprue blanking operation, so that the dual-station injection molded part sprue blanking device can perform blanking operation without interruption and improve blanking efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the outer side of the Z-axis support plate 203 is provided with two upper and lower limit sensors 26, and the side of the drive plate 220 is provided with a limit sensing plate 27 that matches the limit sensors 26; through the cooperation of the limit sensors 26 and the limit sensing plate 27, the upper cutting die 22 can be precisely controlled to move up and down, thereby achieving precise punching of the sprue material.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two shoulder pieces 226 are symmetrically installed on the top of the drive plate 220. A "T" shaped connector 227 is engaged between the two shoulder pieces 226. The telescopic end of the punching cylinder 21 is connected to the "T" shaped connector 227. When it is necessary to change to a different upper cutting die 22 for punching operations, the entire upper cutting die 22 can be removed from the "T" shaped connector 227 through the shoulder piece 226 for replacement, realizing the operation of quickly changing the upper cutting die 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, a rotary motor 32 is installed on the workbench 1, and a turntable 3 is horizontally mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 32. The rotary motor 32 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, thereby driving the lower cutting die 31 to cyclically move the injection molded part 311 to the lower part of the upper cutting die 22 for punching operation. Furthermore, a vertically upward limiting cylinder 33 is provided on the workbench 1 below the turntable 3. The telescopic end of the limiting cylinder 33 is connected to a limiting rod 330. Multiple equally spaced limiting holes 331 are provided on the outer edge of the turntable 3. After the turntable 3 moves the injection molded part 311 to be punched to the lower part of the upper cutting die 22, the limiting cylinder 33 drives the limiting rod 330 to move upward and pass through the limiting hole 331 to limit the entire turntable 3, preventing the turntable 3 from causing the lower cutting die 31 to shift position when the upper cutting die 22 punches the sprue material, thus further improving the punching accuracy of the sprue material.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
