Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bar separation technology, and in particular relates to a bar separation component. Background Technology
[0002] During the injection molding process of on / off switch products, it is often necessary to use a sprue to connect one end to the nozzle of the injection molding machine and the other end to the mold cavity to provide a flow channel for the molten plastic, so as to realize the injection molding of the on / off switch product. After the on / off switch product cools and solidifies, the sprue (runner part) is connected to the on / off switch product through the solidified plastic at the gate. Therefore, after demolding, it is necessary to separate the sprue from the on / off switch product to facilitate the subsequent processing and use of the on / off switch product.
[0003] Currently, in the process of separating the switch product and the feed rod, the switch product and the feed rod are manually separated by the workers. However, in the manual separation process, on the one hand, the force and angle used when breaking the switch depend on experience. Differences in the brittleness of the plastic parts or the thickness fluctuations at the connection point of the feed rod can easily lead to burrs, cracks or residual material on the fracture surface, resulting in inconsistent product quality after separation. On the other hand, as the workers continue to work, their fatigue increases, the speed of the separation action slows down significantly, and the work efficiency decreases. Therefore, this utility model proposes a feed rod separation component. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a material rod separation assembly. A first cylinder drives a fifth cylinder and grippers to approach the product body, while a second cylinder moves the product body and material rod body upwards, adjusting their height so that the product body and grippers come into contact after position adjustment, facilitating gripping of the product body. A third cylinder rotates clockwise, while a fourth cylinder rotates counterclockwise, breaking the product body from the material rod body, thus separating the material rod body. A pressure block lowers and limits the fixture, preventing it from shifting during the breaking process and reducing interference. The entire breaking and separation operation is automated. Compared to manual breaking, the direction and intensity of force applied in each separation action are consistent, ensuring uniform quality and avoiding inconsistencies. Furthermore, it maintains high efficiency in material rod body separation even under long-term continuous operation. In summary, this invention solves the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model discloses a material rod separation assembly, comprising a base plate, a first cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a mounting bracket on the top of the first cylinder, and a pair of sliders fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket. The output end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider located on one side. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a second cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plate. A tray is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, and a fixture is placed on the top of the tray. Two pairs of product bodies are respectively fitted onto the top of the fixture, and material rod bodies are fixedly connected to the bottom of the product bodies. Both pairs of material rod bodies are located on the top of the fixture. A third cylinder and a fourth cylinder are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket, and a pair of fifth cylinders are fixedly connected to the output ends of the third cylinder and the fourth cylinder. A gripper is fixedly connected to the output end of the fifth cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, a pair of guide rails are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a pair of sliders are respectively sleeved on the pair of guide rails and slidably connected to them.
[0008] Furthermore, the first cylinder is a rodless cylinder, the second cylinder is a thin cylinder, the third and fourth cylinders are both tilting cylinders, and the fifth cylinder is a gripper cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, the third cylinder rotates clockwise, and the fourth cylinder rotates counterclockwise.
[0010] Furthermore, a pair of pressure blocks are fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the mounting bracket, and the pressure blocks are located on the rear side of the fixture.
[0011] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0012] 1. In this technical solution, the first cylinder drives the fifth cylinder and the gripper to move towards the product body. At the same time, the second cylinder can drive the product body and the material rod body to move upward, adjust their height, and enable the gripper to clamp the product body after the product body and the gripper are positioned, so as to facilitate the subsequent breaking and separation operation.
[0013] 2. In this technical solution, after the fifth cylinder drives the gripper to clamp the product body, the third cylinder rotates clockwise while the fourth cylinder rotates counterclockwise, breaking the product body off the material rod body and achieving separation of the material rod body. The entire breaking and separation operation is automated. Compared with manual breaking, the direction and intensity of the force applied in each separation action are consistent, ensuring uniform quality and avoiding inconsistencies. At the same time, it maintains efficient material rod body separation even under long-term continuous operation.
[0014] 3. In this technical solution, the pressure block moves synchronously with the mounting frame until it comes into contact with the fixture, which can press down and limit the fixture, so that the fixture remains stable during the flipping and breaking process, and is not prone to displacement, thus reducing interference with the separation of the material rod body.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "relative", "one end", "inner", "lateral", "end", "both ends", "both sides", "front", "one end face", "the other end face", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Specific implementation examples:
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, a material rod separation assembly of this utility model includes a base plate 1. A first cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A mounting bracket 3 is provided on the top of the first cylinder 2, and a pair of sliders 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 3. The output end of the first cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 5 located on one side. An L-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and a second cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plate 6. A tray 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 7, and a fixture 9 is placed on the top of the tray 8. Two pairs of product bodies 10 are respectively fitted on the top of the fixture 9, and a material rod body 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the product body 10. Both pairs of material rod bodies 11 are located on the top of the fixture 9. A third cylinder 12 and a fourth cylinder 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 3, and a pair of fifth cylinders 15 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the third cylinder 12 and the fourth cylinder 13. A gripper 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fifth cylinder 15.
[0027] In the specific implementation process, after injection molding, the two pairs of product bodies 10 and material rod bodies 11 are transported by an external robotic arm and placed sequentially onto the fixture 9. Then, the first cylinder 2 drives the mounting bracket 3 to move towards the fixture 9 via the slider 5, and drives the fifth cylinder 15 and the gripper 14 to move synchronously until they move above the product bodies 10 and material rod bodies 11. Immediately afterwards, the second cylinder 7 drives the product bodies 10 and material rod bodies 11 to move upward, adjusting their height until they contact the gripper 14. At the same time, the fifth cylinder 15 drives the gripper 14 to clamp the raised and contacted product bodies 10. Next, the third cylinder 12 drives... One pair of grippers 14 on one side and the product body 10 rotate clockwise, while the fourth cylinder 13 drives the other pair of grippers 14 and the product body 10 to rotate counterclockwise, breaking the product body 10 off the material rod body 11 and separating it. Then the first cylinder 2 retracts, and at the same time the fifth cylinder 15 drives the grippers 14 to release, causing the product body 10 to fall into the material drop hole. The entire breaking and separation operation is automated. Compared with manual breaking, the direction and intensity of the force applied in each separation action are consistent, ensuring uniform quality and avoiding inconsistencies. At the same time, it maintains efficient material rod body 11 separation even under long-term continuous operation.
[0028] The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a pair of guide rails 4, and a pair of sliders 5 are respectively sleeved on the pair of guide rails 4 and slidably connected to them.
[0029] The guide rail 4 guides the movement of the slider 5, ensuring stable movement and preventing deviation when the first cylinder 2 drives the slider 5 and the mounting bracket 3 to move.
[0030] Among them, the first cylinder 2 is a rodless cylinder, the second cylinder 7 is a thin cylinder, the third cylinder 12 and the fourth cylinder 13 are both tilting cylinders, and the fifth cylinder 15 is a gripper cylinder.
[0031] The first cylinder 2 is a rodless cylinder, which can move the mounting bracket 3 with the help of the slider 5 after air is supplied. The second cylinder 7 is a thin cylinder that can drive the product body 10 and the material rod body 11 to make vertical linear movements and precisely adjust their height so as to contact the gripper 14. The third cylinder 12 and the fourth cylinder 13 are both flipping cylinders, which can drive the product body 10 to flip 90 degrees so as to break the product body 10 off the material rod body 11. The fifth cylinder 15 is a gripper cylinder used to drive the gripper 14 to make opening and closing movements so as to clamp or release the product body 10.
[0032] The third cylinder 12 rotates clockwise, and the fourth cylinder 13 rotates counterclockwise.
[0033] The third cylinder 12 and the fourth cylinder 13 control a pair of grippers 14 and the product body 10 to rotate in different directions. Since the applied torques are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, the jig 9 can be prevented from shifting during the separation process, thus ensuring positioning accuracy.
[0034] Among them, a pair of pressure blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the mounting bracket 3, and the pressure blocks 16 are located on the rear side of the fixture 9.
[0035] By limiting the downward pressure of the pressure block 16, the fixture 9 remains stable during the flipping and breaking process, making it less prone to displacement and reducing interference with the separation operation of the material rod body 11.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] In use, after injection molding, the two pairs of product bodies 10 and material rod bodies 11 are transported by an external robotic arm and placed sequentially onto the fixture 9. Then, the first cylinder 2 drives the mounting frame 3 towards the fixture 9 via the slider 5, simultaneously driving the fifth cylinder 15, gripper 14, and pressure block 16 to move synchronously until they reach above the product bodies 10 and material rod bodies 11. Next, the second cylinder 7 drives the fixture 9, product bodies 10, and material rod bodies 11 upwards, adjusting their height until they contact the gripper 14. Simultaneously, the drive... The fifth cylinder 15 drives the gripper 14 to clamp the raised product body 10, while the pressure block 16 is in contact with the top of the fixture 9. Next, the third cylinder 12 drives one pair of grippers 14 and the product body 10 to rotate clockwise, while the fourth cylinder 13 drives the other pair of grippers 14 and the product body 10 to rotate counterclockwise, breaking the product body 10 off the material rod body 11 and separating it from the material rod body 11. Then the first cylinder 2 retracts, and at the same time the fifth cylinder 15 drives the gripper 14 to release, causing the product body 10 to fall into the dropping hole.
