Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding equipment, specifically to an automatic embedding component and a pipe-retrieving device for a PPR integrated internal bend pipe fitting. Background Technology
[0002] In the injection molding process of PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings, before injection molding, the insert (metal) needs to be embedded in the mold. A mold is often multi-cavity (multiple products are produced in one injection). In the traditional production mode, the inserts need to be embedded into the mold one by one manually. After injection molding, the pipe fitting needs to be removed from the mold manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and has low production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic embedding device and pipe-retrieving device for PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings, which greatly improves production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic embedding and retrieval device for PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings, which is used in the two processes of automatic embedding of the insert and automatic retrieval of the pipe fitting during the injection molding production of PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings. It is flexible and convenient and improves production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automatic embedding and retrieval device for PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings includes a general device transition mounting plate. The lower surface of the general device transition mounting plate is provided with a product retrieval module for retrieving the pipe fitting and an embedding module for embedding the insert into the mold. The embedding module includes a second flip cylinder and an embedding device mounting plate. The embedding device mounting plate is mounted at the end of the second flip cylinder. The lower surface of the embedding device mounting plate is provided with an embedding clamping mechanism for automatically clamping the insert.
[0007] Furthermore, the product retrieval module includes a tilting cylinder and a pipe removal device mounting plate. The pipe removal device mounting plate is mounted on the end of the tilting cylinder, and a product gripping mechanism for clamping the product is provided on the surface of the pipe removal device mounting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the product clamping mechanism includes a set of pneumatic fingers and a set of pipe clamps. The two pneumatic fingers are diagonally distributed on the pipe removal device mounting plate, and two pipe clamps are symmetrically installed on each pneumatic finger. A central hole for the pipe casting port to pass through is opened at the center of the pipe removal device mounting plate. A pneumatic clamp for clamping the pipe casting port is installed on the surface of the central hole facing the flipping cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate of the pipe fitting removal device is provided with a positioning core for positioning the pipe fitting.
[0010] Furthermore, the insert clamping mechanism includes a set of pneumatic fingers. Pneumatic fingers are installed on the lower surface of the insert embedding device mounting plate near the four corners. Each pneumatic finger has two insert grippers symmetrically installed on it for clamping the insert.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second tilting cylinders are mounted on the lower surface of the overall device transition mounting plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1) Fix the device of this utility model to a six-axis industrial robot or robotic arm. Then, by the action of the first pneumatic finger, the insert is clamped from the feed point. After the injection molding machine finishes injection molding and the mold is opened, the device of this utility model, along with the action of the six-axis robot or robotic arm, flips the first rotating cylinder to align the positioning core with the tube in the mold. The pneumatic clamp clamps the tube gate. The second pneumatic finger clamps the tube and removes it from the mold. Then, the second rotating cylinder flips to align the insert with the core in the mold and embed the insert into the mold. This avoids the problems caused by manually embedding the insert into the mold and then manually removing the tube from the mold.
[0014] 2) In the injection molding process of PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings, the device of this utility model improves the efficiency of injection molding and the quality of injection molding, while also shortening the processing cycle of injection molded products.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the scope described herein.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-5 An automatic embedding and retrieval device for PPR integrated female bend pipe fittings includes a general device transition mounting plate 4. The lower surface of the general device transition mounting plate 4 is provided with a product retrieval module for retrieving the pipe fitting and an embedding module for embedding the insert 10 into the mold. The embedding module includes a second flip cylinder 6 and an embedding device mounting plate 7. The embedding device mounting plate 7 is installed at the end of the second flip cylinder 6. The lower surface of the embedding device mounting plate 7 is provided with an embedding clamping mechanism for automatically clamping the insert 10.
[0023] The product retrieval module includes a tilting cylinder 5 and a pipe removal device mounting plate 3. The pipe removal device mounting plate 3 is mounted on the end of the tilting cylinder 5, and the surface of the pipe removal device mounting plate 3 is provided with a product gripping mechanism for clamping the product.
[0024] The product gripping mechanism includes a set of pneumatic fingers 11 and a set of pipe clamps 13. The two pneumatic fingers 11 are diagonally distributed on the pipe removal device mounting plate 3. Each pneumatic finger 11 is symmetrically equipped with two pipe clamps 13. The pipe removal device mounting plate 3 has a central hole for the pipe pouring port to pass through. The surface of the central hole facing the flipping cylinder 5 is equipped with a pneumatic clamp 12 for clamping the pipe pouring port.
[0025] In this utility model, the pipe fitting is a PPR integrated female bend pipe fitting. In order to quickly position the pipe fitting, a positioning core 2 is provided on the pipe fitting removal device mounting plate 3.
[0026] The insert clamping mechanism includes a set of pneumatic fingers 8. Pneumatic fingers 8 are installed on the lower surface of the insert embedding device mounting plate 7 near the four corners. Each pneumatic finger 8 has two insert grippers 9 symmetrically installed on it for clamping the insert 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, both the first tilting cylinder 5 and the second tilting cylinder 6 are mounted on the lower surface of the overall device transition mounting plate 4.
[0028] In actual production, the overall device transition mounting plate 4 is often fixed to a six-axis robot or a four-axis manipulator.
[0029] Specific usage process:
[0030] This utility model device is typically fixed to a six-axis industrial robot or robotic arm for use. The device uses pneumatic finger 8 to grip the insert 10 from the feed port. After injection molding, the mold is opened. As the six-axis robot or robotic arm moves, the device's tilting cylinder 5 tilts, aligning the positioning core 2 with the pipe in the mold. Pneumatic clamp 12 grips the pipe's gate, and pneumatic finger 11 grips the pipe, removing it from the mold. Then, tilting cylinder 6 tilts, aligning the insert 10 with the positioning core 2 and embedding it into the mold. As the six-axis robot or robotic arm removes the mold, the mold closes, and the injection molding machine continues production for the next mold.
