Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses an injection molding machine that facilitates material discharge, belonging to the field of injection molding machines. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines or injection molding machines, are the main molding equipment used to produce various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molds. They are classified as vertical, horizontal, and all-electric. Injection molding machines heat the plastic, apply high pressure to the molten plastic, and inject it to fill the mold cavity.

[0003] After injection molding, the product needs to be removed from the mold. The product is hot when it is freshly molded, and workers can easily get burned if they handle it with their bare hands. Wearing gloves can block some heat, but it can also make the fingers less flexible, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0004] In response to the above problems, a new improvement plan is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, an injection molding machine with convenient material discharge includes a main body 1. A mechanical gripper 2 is installed on the main body 1 and is electrically connected to the main body 1. The mechanical gripper 2 can be a commercially available three-degree-of-freedom CNC mechanical gripper that can be directly installed on this machine. The main body 1 of this machine integrates a program for controlling the mechanical gripper 2. During the operation of the main body 1, after the product in the mold is formed, the mechanical gripper 2 can be controlled to grab it. A cooling component is set on the discharge side of the main body 1. The mechanical gripper 2 can grab the material and make it fall into the cooling component. This machine is mainly used for producing plastic products. After the product is demolded, it still maintains a high temperature. By setting up the cooling component, the high-temperature plastic product is dropped into the cooling component, so that the product cools down quickly and maintains its shape.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the cooling assembly includes a base 3 and a cooling box 4. The base 3 is fixedly connected to the main body 1, and the cooling box 4 is slidably connected to the base 3. The cooling box 4 is filled with coolant, the most common of which is water. Operators can directly add water to the cooling box 4. At the same time, since the cooling box 4 and the base 3 are slidably connected, when a lot of products are piled up in the cooling box 4, workers can slide and move the cooling box 4 as needed to facilitate unloading. Furthermore, two hydraulic cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the base 3. The two hydraulic cylinders 5 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the cooling box 4. The hydraulic cylinders 5 are electrically connected to the machine tool and their output ends are fixedly connected to the cooling box 4. By setting up the hydraulic cylinders 5, during operation, the hydraulic cylinders 5 will perform reciprocating pushing and pulling actions under the control of the machine tool, that is, reciprocating pushing and pulling the cooling box 4 to make it reciprocate on the base 3. During the reciprocating motion of the cooling box 4, the material accumulated in the cooling box 4 will be slowly spread out, instead of being piled up in one place. The material will be in a state where the middle is high and the two sides are low. If the material is piled up too high in the middle, it may be higher than the liquid level of the cooling water, resulting in failure to cool in time. The state where the two sides are low also wastes the space inside the cooling box 4.

[0022] For example Figure 2 As shown, a limiting groove 6 is provided on the base 3, and a limiting block 7 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 4. The limiting block 7 can slide in the limiting groove 6. By setting the limiting groove 6 and the limiting block 7, the movement trajectory of the cooling box 4 is fixed.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a material frame 8 is slidably installed inside the cooling box 4. The material frame 8 has a large number of water outlets. Since the cooling box 4 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 5, when the material in the cooling box 4 is full and the material needs to be discharged, the material frame 8 inside the cooling box 4 can be lifted to allow the cooling water to flow down along the water outlets. At this time, only the cooled material remains in the frame, which is convenient and quick.

[0024] For example Figure 3As shown, the material frame 8 is fixedly connected to the two ends with hanging ears 9. The hanging ears 9 can overlap the edge of the cooling box 4. By setting the hanging ears 9, it is not only convenient to manually move the material frame 8, but also to allow equipment such as cranes to lift the material frame 8 through the hanging ears 9, which achieves multiple benefits.

[0025] Finally, a water tap 10 is installed on the cooling tank 4. After the cooling water in the cooling tank 4 has been used multiple times, the water tap 10 can be opened to drain the water and then fresh water can be added to the cooling tank 4.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
