[0002] Mold parts are the basic units that make up a mold. They work together to complete the task of molding, processing or manufacturing products. When storing mold parts, placing them in an automated sorting and storage warehouse makes it easier to store, retrieve, use and manage them.
[0003] When sorting and storing mold parts in a warehouse, stacker cranes are usually used. The stacker crane is controlled by a pre-set program to move in the warehouse for sorting and storage. After the mold is taken out by the stacker crane, if there are obstacles or other abnormalities in the movement path of the stacker crane, the stacker crane will make an emergency stop to avoid them. During the emergency stop, the mold parts placed on the stacker crane may slide off the stacker crane and fall off, causing damage to the surface of the parts and resulting in low stability of the stacker crane during use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an automated sorting and storage device for mold parts. It solves the problem that if an obstacle or other abnormality occurs in the movement path of the stacker crane after the mold is taken out by the stacker crane, the stacker crane will make an emergency stop to avoid it. During the emergency stop, the mold parts placed on the stacker crane may slide off the stacker crane and fall off, causing damage to the surface of the parts and resulting in low stability of the stacker crane during use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated sorting and storage device for mold parts, comprising a frame, winches on both sides of the top of the frame, a support platform slidably mounted on the outer surface of the frame, the four corners of the support platform being connected to the winch wheels via steel cables, an electric slide block on the outer surface of the support platform, and a positioning device on the outer surface of the support platform, the positioning device comprising two stops, the bottom ends of the stops being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support platform, two rectangular grooves being formed inside the support platform, T-shaped grooves being formed on both sides of the inner wall of the rectangular grooves, a sliding plate being slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular grooves, the two sides of the sliding plate sliding on the inner wall of the T-shaped grooves, two springs being provided at the bottom of the sliding plate, the upper and lower ends of the two springs being fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate and the bottom of the inner wall of the rectangular grooves respectively, and a baffle being fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate, one side edge of the baffle being a slope.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a slanted groove is provided on one side of the top of the baffle, and protruding rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the electric slide.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two round rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rectangular groove, and the sliding plate slides on the outer surface of the round rods.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner diameter of the spring is larger than the diameter of the round rod, and the round rod is located inside the spring.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer surface of the electric slide is provided with an anti-slip device, the anti-slip device includes a rubber plate, the bottom end of the rubber plate is fixedly connected with a number of inserts, the top end of the rubber plate is provided with a number of anti-slip strips, and the top end of the electric slide is provided with a number of insertion holes.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer surface of the insert block is fixedly connected with several protruding strips, which are rubber strips made of rubber material.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] (1) The automated sorting and storage device, by setting a positioning device, when the mold part is placed on the surface of the electric slide, the mold part is positioned between two blocks and two baffles on the outer surface of the support platform. When the frame moves and suddenly stops, the mold part will move on the outer surface of the electric slide and come into contact with one side of the baffle or block. The position of the mold part on the electric slide is restricted by the blocks or baffles, so that the mold part will not fall off the surface of the electric slide and be damaged, thereby improving the stability of the automated sorting and storage device during use.
[0013] (2) The automated sorting and storage device, by setting an anti-slip device, installs a rubber plate on the outer surface of the electric slide, so that when the mold parts enter the surface of the electric slide, they are placed on the rubber plate. The rubber plate and anti-slip strip further increase the friction of the bottom of the mold parts, thereby minimizing the probability of the mold parts being displaced and hitting the baffle or block surface when the stacker stops suddenly.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automated sorting and storage device for mold parts, including a frame 1, with winches 4 installed on both sides of the top of the frame 1, a support platform 5 slidably mounted on the outer surface of the frame 1, the four corners of the support platform 5 being connected to the wheels of the winches 4 via steel cables, an electric slide block 6 mounted on the outer surface of the support platform 5, and a positioning device 2 mounted on the outer surface of the support platform 5, the positioning device 2 including two stops 26, the bottom ends of the stops 26 being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support platform 5, and two rectangular grooves 21 formed inside the support platform 5. T-shaped grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21. A sliding plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21. The two sides of the sliding plate 23 slide on the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 22. Two springs 25 are provided at the bottom end of the sliding plate 23. The upper and lower ends of the two springs 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding plate 23 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21, respectively. A baffle 24 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding plate 23. One edge of the baffle 24 is inclined. By setting the baffle 24, when the stacker crane is used to sort and store the mold parts, the stacker crane is controlled by the internal control system of the stacker crane. The electric slide 6 is moved through the bottom casters, extending one end of the electric slide 6 under the platform where the mold part is placed. The winches 4 on both sides of the frame 1 control the support platform 5 to rise a certain distance, lifting the mold part onto the outer surface of the electric slide 6. Then, the electric slide 6 moves towards the frame 1. When one side of the mold part contacts one side of the two baffles 24 on the outer surface of the support platform 5, it enters the inclined surface of the baffles 24, pushing the sliding plate 23 at the bottom of the baffles 24 downwards along the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21 and compressing the spring 25. After the slide 6 returns to its original position, the compressed spring 25 returns to its original state and pushes the sliding plate 23 upward to extend the baffle 24, so that the mold part is located between the two blocks 26 and the two baffles 24 on the outer surface of the support table 5. When the frame 1 moves and suddenly stops, the mold part moves on the outer surface of the electric slide 6 and will contact one side of the baffle 24 or the block 26. The block 26 or the baffle 24 restricts the position of the mold part on the electric slide 6, so that the mold part will not fall off the surface of the electric slide 6 and be damaged, thus improving the stability of the automated sorting and storage device during use.
[0022] A sloping groove 27 is provided on one side of the top of the baffle 24. Protruding rods 28 are fixedly connected to both sides of the electric slide 6. When the mold part needs to be removed after being placed on the outer surface of the electric slide 6, the electric slide 6 moves away from the frame 1. The protruding rods 28 on both sides of the electric slide 6 enter the sloping groove 27 on one side of the baffle 24 and push the baffle 24 and sliding plate 23 downwards, retracting the sliding plate 23 into the rectangular groove 21. At this time, the mold part can move away from the frame 1 along with the electric slide 6, facilitating its removal. Two round rods 29 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21. When the sliding plate 23 slides on the outer surface of the round rod 29, and the baffle 24 is squeezed, causing the sliding plate 23 to move on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21, the sliding plate 23 will slide on the outer surface of the round rod 29. The round rod 29 can further limit the angle between the sliding plate 23 and the rectangular groove 21, and avoid the angle between the sliding plate 23 and the baffle 24 and the support platform 5 as much as possible. The inner diameter of the spring 25 is larger than the diameter of the round rod 29. The round rod 29 is located inside the spring 25. When the sliding plate 23 moves and causes the spring 25 to deform, the round rod 29 can reinforce the inside of the spring 25 and prevent the spring 25 from twisting.
[0023] The outer surface of the electric slide block 6 is provided with an anti-slip device 3, which includes a rubber plate 33. Several inserts 32 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rubber plate 33, and several anti-slip strips 34 are provided at the top end of the rubber plate 33. Several insertion holes 31 are opened at the top end of the electric slide block 6. Before using the stacker crane, the inserts 32 at the bottom end of the rubber plate 33 can be inserted into the insertion holes 31 on the outer surface of the electric slide block 6 to install the rubber plate 33 on the outer surface of the electric slide block 6, so that when the mold parts enter the surface of the electric slide block 6, they are placed on the rubber plate 33. Above plate 33, the friction at the bottom of the mold part is further increased by rubber plate 33 and anti-slip strip 34 to minimize the probability of the mold part shifting and hitting the surface of baffle 24 or block 26 when the stacker crane stops suddenly. Several protrusions 35 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insert block 32. The protrusions 35 are rubber strips. By setting the rubber protrusions 35, the friction between the insert block 32 and the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 can be increased, making it less likely for the insert block 32 to loosen and shake inside the insertion hole 31.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using a stacker crane to sort and store mold parts, the various inserts 32 at the bottom of the rubber plate 33 can be inserted into the insertion holes 31 on the outer surface of the electric slide 6. The rubber plate 33 is then installed on the outer surface of the electric slide 6. The stacker crane is controlled by the internal control system to move its position via the bottom moving wheels. The electric slide 6 is operated so that one end of the electric slide 6 extends under the platform where the mold parts are placed. The hoists 4 on both sides of the frame 1 control the support platform 5 to rise a certain distance, lifting the mold parts into the outer surface of the electric slide 6. When the mold parts enter the surface of the electric slide 6, they are placed above the rubber plate 33. Then, the electric slide 6 is operated to move towards the frame 1. When one side of the mold part contacts one side of the two baffles 24 on the outer surface of the support platform 5, it enters the inclined surface of the outer surface of the baffles 24, pushing the sliding plate 23 at the bottom of the baffles 24 downwards on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21. After the electric slide 6 returns to its original position, the compressed spring 25 returns to its original state and pushes the sliding plate 23 upward to extend the baffle 24, so that the mold part is located between the two blocks 26 and the two baffles 24 on the outer surface of the support platform 5. When the frame 1 moves and suddenly stops, the mold part moves on the outer surface of the electric slide 6 and comes into contact with one side of the baffle 24 or the block 26. The block 26 or the baffle 24 restricts the position of the mold part on the electric slide 6, so that the mold part will not fall off the surface of the electric slide 6 and be damaged. When the mold part is removed, the electric slide 6 is moved away from the frame 1. The protrusions 28 on both sides of the electric slide 6 will enter the inclined groove 27 on one side of the baffle 24 and push the baffle 24 and the sliding plate 23 downward, so that the sliding plate 23 is put into the rectangular groove 21. At this time, the mold part can follow the electric slide 6 to move away from the frame 1, so that the mold part can be removed.
