Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a feeding device and injection molding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding equipment is a device that injects molten material into an injection mold to quickly mold the material into a product of the corresponding shape. During product injection molding, sometimes it is necessary to pre-load solid parts into the injection mold so that the material injected into the injection mold can cover the solid parts, thereby fixing the solid parts to the product formed in the injection mold.

[0003] Currently, to improve the safety of installing solid parts into injection molds, solid parts are typically first installed on a fixture. Then, a robotic arm moves the fixture, transferring the solid parts to their corresponding positions on the injection mold. The solid parts are then loaded into the mold, and finally, the robotic arm resets the fixture to allow for the installation of a new batch of solid parts. However, when a large number of solid parts need to be installed on the fixture each time, the time required for installation is significant, resulting in low solid part loading efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a feeding device and injection molding equipment to improve the feeding efficiency of solid materials.

[0005] Embodiments of this application provide a feeding device for transferring solid materials. The feeding device includes a receiving assembly and a transferring assembly. At least two receiving assemblies are provided, each including a receiving member and a first connecting member. The first connecting member is disposed on the receiving member, which has a receiving portion configured to insert or sleeve the solid material. The transferring assembly includes a transferring member, a transferring drive, an unloading drive, and a second connecting member. The second connecting member is disposed on the transferring member and detachably connected to the first connecting member. The unloading drive is disposed on at least one of the transferring member and the receiving member, configured to drive the solid material away from the receiving portion. The transferring drive is connected to the transferring member and configured to move the transferring member.

[0006] When using this feeding device, the solid material is first inserted or fitted into the receiving part of the receiving member of one of the receiving components. Then, the transfer drive drives the transfer member to move to the receiving part, and after the second connecting member is connected to the first connecting member, the transfer drive moves the transfer member to the designated position. Then, the unloading drive drives the solid material to move, causing the solid material to detach from the receiving part. During the process of the transfer drive moving the transfer member, solid materials can be installed into the receiving parts of the receiving parts of the other receiving components. By having the second connecting member alternately connected to the first connecting member of each receiving component, the feeding time of the solid material can be saved, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the solid material.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding device further includes a feeding rack and a receiving drive assembly. The feeding rack is provided with an installation position and a feeding position. The receiving drive assembly includes a plurality of receiving drive components, one receiving drive component corresponding to one receiving component. The receiving drive component is located on the feeding rack and is configured to drive the corresponding receiving component to reciprocate between the installation position and the feeding position.

[0008] After the receiving drive moves the receiving component to the mounting position, a solid material can be installed onto the receiving part at the mounting position. Then, the receiving drive drives the receiving component to move from the mounting position to the loading position, so that the second connecting member on the transfer component connects with the first connecting member. By installing the solid material at the mounting position, the operating space for installing the solid material can be increased, thereby facilitating the installation of the solid material onto the receiving part.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving member is provided with a mounting hole, the receiving portion includes a mounting hole, the mounting hole is configured to insert a solid material; the unloading drive member includes a push rod and a push member, the push member is configured to drive the push rod to push the solid material outward of the mounting hole.

[0010] After the transfer component moves to the designated position, the push drive component drives the push rod to move, causing the push rod to push the solid component out of the mounting hole, thereby allowing the solid component to detach from the mounting hole.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving member is provided with a mounting rod, the receiving part includes the mounting rod, and the mounting rod is configured to sleeve the solid material; the unloading drive member includes a push sleeve and a push member, the push sleeve is sleeved on the mounting rod, and the push member is configured to drive the push sleeve to push the solid material.

[0012] After the transfer component moves to the designated position, the push drive component drives the push sleeve to move, causing the push sleeve to push the solid material against one end of the mounting rod, thereby allowing the solid material to detach from the mounting rod.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving component further includes a guide rod, which has a mounting portion and a guiding portion at both ends along its length. The mounting portion is detachably connected to the solid material, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the guiding portion gradually decreases along the length of the guide rod and away from the mounting portion.

[0014] The guide section of the guide rod has a guiding function, which makes it easier for the guide rod to be inserted into the hole at the designated position, thereby improving the accuracy of the connection between the solid part and the corresponding structure.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving component further includes a limiting member and an elastic member, the elastic member connecting the limiting member and the receiving member, the direction in which the guide rod moves relative to the receiving member is a first direction, and the elastic member is configured to elastically abut the limiting member against a sidewall of the guide rod along a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction.

[0016] The elastic element abuts the limiting element against the guide rod, thereby generating static friction between the limiting element and the guide rod, and between the limiting element and the inner wall of the corresponding mounting rod or mounting hole. This fixes the guide rod relative to the receiving element, thereby improving the stability of the solid part relative to the receiving element and reducing the risk of the solid part falling off when the transfer drive moves the transfer element.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting member has a limiting portion configured to abut against a sidewall of the guide rod along a second direction; the limiting portion is provided with a guide surface at an angle along a first direction near the mounting portion, and the distance between the guide surface and the guide portion along the first direction gradually decreases along the second direction and toward the guide rod.

[0018] The guide surface is inclined, which reduces the transverse area of ​​the limiting part near the guide rod in the second direction, thereby reducing the contact area between the limiting part and the guide rod, making it easier for the guide rod to move relative to the limiting part, so that the solid material can be separated from the receiving part.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting member has a limiting portion, and the guide rod is provided with a limiting groove, which is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the limiting portion.

[0020] The limiting part is inserted into the limiting groove, which can further constrain the guide rod in the first direction, thereby further improving the stability of the solid material relative to the receiving part.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting hole is provided through, allowing the solid component to be inserted into the mounting hole from one end and removed from the mounting hole from the other end.

[0022] During the process of the pusher pushing the solid component, the mounting hole provides support and guidance for the solid component, thereby facilitating the precise movement of the solid component to the designated position.

[0023] Embodiments of this application also provide an injection molding apparatus, including an injection molding machine body and an injection mold disposed on the injection molding machine body. The injection molding apparatus further includes a feeding device provided in any of the above embodiments, the feeding device being configured to install solid material onto the injection mold.

[0024] When this injection molding equipment uses a feeding device, the second connector of the transfer component alternately connects with the first connector of each receiving component. This allows solid parts to be installed on the receiving components of the remaining receiving components while the transfer component moves the receiving component of one of the receiving components. This saves the feeding time of solid parts and thus improves the feeding efficiency of solid parts to the injection mold. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0037] When using this feeding device, the solid material is first inserted or fitted into the receiving part of the receiving member of one of the receiving components. Then, the transfer drive drives the transfer member to move to the receiving part, and after the second connecting member is connected to the first connecting member, the transfer drive moves the transfer member to the designated position. Then, the unloading drive drives the solid material to move, causing the solid material to detach from the receiving part. During the process of the transfer drive moving the transfer member, solid materials can be installed into the receiving parts of the receiving parts of the other receiving components. By having the second connecting member alternately connected to the first connecting member of each receiving component, the feeding time of the solid material can be saved, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the solid material.

In some embodiments, the feeding device 300 is disposed on the ground on one side of the injection molding machine body 100. In some embodiments, the injection molding machine 1000 further includes a protective fence (not shown), which surrounds the feeding device 300 and is disposed on the ground; the protective fence isolates the feeding device 300 from the operator, providing a certain degree of protection for the operator. In another embodiment, the feeding device 300 may also be disposed on the injection molding machine body 100 or on other mounting platforms.

[0040] In some embodiments, the injection molding equipment 1000 further includes a feeding device 400, which includes a feeding drive assembly 41 and a clamping assembly 42. The clamping assembly 42 is disposed on the feeding drive assembly 41 and configured to clamp the molded product.

In other embodiments, the solid material component 2000 may be a screw, a metal ring, or a structural component of other shapes.

[0042] The transfer assembly 33 includes a transfer member 331, a transfer drive member 332, an unloading drive member 333, and a second connecting member 334. The second connecting member 334 is disposed on the transfer member 331 and is detachably connected to the first connecting member 322. The unloading drive member 333 is disposed on at least one of the transfer member 331 and the receiving member 321, and is configured to drive the solid material 2000 to detach from the receiving part 3211. The transfer drive member 332 is connected to the transfer member 331 and is configured to move the transfer member 331. In some embodiments, the transfer member 331 is frame-shaped. In some embodiments, the transfer drive member 332 is an industrial robot, and the transfer member 331 is connected to the manipulator of the industrial robot. In other embodiments, the transfer drive member 332 may be a cylinder or other structural component capable of driving the transfer member 331 to move.

[0043] When performing injection molding using this injection molding equipment 1000, the solid material 2000 is first inserted or fitted into the receiving portion 3211 of the receiving part 321 of one of the receiving components 32; the transfer drive 332 drives the transfer part 331 to move to the receiving part 321, and after connecting the second connecting part 334 with the first connecting part 322, the transfer drive 332 moves the transfer part 331 to the injection mold 200 and aligns the solid material 2000 with the position of the solid material 2000 to be installed on the injection mold 200; then, the unloading drive 333 drives the solid material 2000 to move, so that the solid material 2000 is detached from the receiving part 3211 and moves to the corresponding position on the injection mold 200.

[0044] During the movement of the transfer drive 332 towards the transfer member 331, solid parts 2000 can be installed onto the receiving portions 3211 of the receiving members 321 of the remaining receiving components 32. By alternately connecting the second connector 334 to the first connector 322 of each receiving component 32, the loading time of the solid parts 2000 can be saved, thereby improving the loading efficiency of the solid parts 2000. It is understood that in some embodiments, the loading device 300 can be applied to welding equipment to load materials into the fixtures or jigs of the welding equipment. In other embodiments, the loading device 300 can also be applied to other processing or assembly equipment.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first connector 322 is the tool side of the robot tool quick-change device, and the second connector 334 is the robot side of the robot tool quick-change device.

In still other embodiments, the first connector 322 can be a connecting post with a pin hole, and the corresponding second connector 334 is a cylinder connected with a connecting pin. The cylinder drives the connecting pin to move, causing the connecting pin to insert into the connecting hole, so that the connecting pin and the connecting post are connected to each other. In still other embodiments, the first connector 322 and the second connector 334 can also be other structural components that can be detachably connected to each other.

[0046] In some embodiments, the loading rack 31 is provided with a mounting position 311 and a loading position 312, which are spaced apart. The loading device 300 further includes a receiving drive assembly 34, which includes a plurality of receiving drive members 341, one receiving drive member 341 corresponding to one receiving member 321. The receiving drive members 341 are disposed on the loading rack 31, and each receiving drive member 341 is configured to drive the corresponding receiving member 321 to move. After the receiving drive member 341 moves the receiving member 321 to the mounting position 311, a solid material 2000 can be installed on the receiving part 3211 at the mounting position 311. Then, the receiving drive member 341 drives the receiving member 321 to move from the mounting position 311 to the loading position 312, so that the second connecting member 334 on the transfer member 331 is connected to the first connecting member 322. By installing the solid component 2000 at the mounting position 311, the operating space for installing the solid component 2000 can be increased, thereby facilitating the installation of the solid component 2000 into the receiving part 3211.

[0047] In some embodiments, the receiving drive member 341 includes a sliding seat 3411 and a drive cylinder 3412. The sliding seat 3411 is slidably mounted on the loading rack 31 via a slide rail, and each sliding seat 3411 can reciprocate from the mounting position 311 to the loading position 312.

In some embodiments, the solid material 2000 includes a first material 2001 and a second material 2002; the mounting hole 3213 is configured to insert the first material 2001, and one end of the mounting rod 3214 is connected to the receiving member 321 and configured to sleeve the second material 2002. The first material 2001 and the second material 2002 are respectively used to install onto the injection mold 200 (see...). Figure 1 (different positions)

[0050] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The unloading drive component 333 includes a push rod 3331, a push sleeve 3332, and a push member 3334. The push member 3334 is provided in two sets, one set of push members 3334 is a first push member 3334a, and the other set of push members 3334 is a second push member 3334b. The first push member 3334a is configured to drive the push rod 3331 to push the first material 2001 out of the mounting hole 3213 so that the first material 2001 is disengaged from the mounting hole 3213. The second push member 3334b is configured to drive the push sleeve 3332 to push the second material 2002 so that the second material 2002 is disengaged from the mounting rod 3214.

[0051] In some embodiments, the transfer member 331 includes a sliding plate 3311, a guide rod 3312, and a guide sleeve 3313. The guide rod 3312 is connected to the sliding plate 3311, and the guide sleeve 3313 is connected to the transfer member 331. The guide rod 3312 and the guide sleeve 3313 are slidably engaged, allowing the sliding plate 3311 to slide relative to the transfer member 331. One end of the push rod 3331 is disposed on the sliding plate 3311, and the other end of the push rod 3331 extends away from the sliding plate 3311 along the length direction of the guide rod 3312. A first push member 3334a is disposed on the transfer member 331 and connected to the sliding plate 3311. The first push member 3334a is configured to drive the sliding plate 3311 to move, so that the sliding plate 3311 drives the push rod 3331 to move.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 3213 is provided through, and the first material 2001 can be inserted into the mounting hole 3213 from one end and protrude from the mounting hole 3213 from the other end. When the second connector 334 is connected to the first connector 322, the push rod 3331 is aligned with the mounting hole 3213 along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 3311; when the transfer member 331 drives the receiving member 321 to move to the designated position, the first push member 3334a drives the sliding plate 3311 to move toward the receiving member 321, so that the push rod 3331 is inserted into the mounting hole 3213 and abuts against the first material 2001, thereby enabling the push rod 3331 to push the first material 2001 out of the mounting hole 3213. In other embodiments, the first pushing member 3334a and the pushing rod 3331 may be provided on the receiving member 321. The first pushing member 3334a can drive the pushing rod 3331 to be inserted into the mounting hole 3213, so that the pushing rod 3331 pushes the first material 2001 out of the mounting hole 3213. It is understood that the mounting hole 3213 may be a blind hole, and the pushing rod 3331 is provided at the bottom of the mounting hole 3213, so that the pushing rod 3331 can push the first material 2001 out of the mounting hole 3213 through the opening of the mounting hole 3213.

[0053] In some embodiments, the receiving assembly 32 further includes a guide rod 323, which has a mounting portion 3231 and a guide portion 3232 at its two ends along its length. The mounting portion 3231 is detachably connected to the first component 2001. The cross-sectional area of ​​the guide portion 3232 gradually decreases along the length of the guide rod 323 and away from the mounting portion 3231. When installing the first component 2001 onto the receiving assembly 321, the first component 2001 can be first installed on the mounting portion 3231, and then the guide portion 3232 of the guide rod 323 can be inserted into the mounting hole 3213, ensuring that at least a portion of the first component 2001 is submerged in the mounting hole 3213. The direction in which the guide rod 323 moves relative to the receiving assembly 321 is a first direction X. It is understood that the mounting hole 3213 is provided through the first direction X.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 3231 is provided with external threads, and the mounting portion 3231 is threadedly connected to the first component 2001. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 3231 can be inserted into the threaded hole of the first component 2001, and the peripheral wall of the mounting portion 3231 abuts against the internal thread of the threaded hole of the first component 2001 to form an interference fit, so that the first component 2001 and the mounting portion 3231 are detachably connected.

[0055] In some embodiments, the guide portion 3232 is generally tapered, which reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the guide rod 323 away from the mounting portion 3231, facilitating the insertion of the end of the guide rod 323 away from the mounting portion 3231 into the injection mold 200 (see...). Figure 1 The guide portion 3232 has a guiding function, facilitating the insertion of the guide rod 323 into the corresponding hole, so that the first part 2001 and the injection mold 200 can be connected to each other. In some embodiments, after injection molding is completed, as the moving mold of the injection mold 200 moves away from the fixed mold, a part of the structure of the moving mold can push the guide rod 323, so that the guide rod 323 drives the first part 2001 to push against the molded product, thereby facilitating product demolding.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the receiving component 32 further includes a limiting member 324 and an elastic member 325, the elastic member 325 connecting the limiting member 324 and the receiving member 321, the elastic member 325 being configured to elastically abut the limiting member 324 against a sidewall of the guide rod 323 along a second direction Y, the second direction Y intersecting the first direction X. In some embodiments, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. For example, the receiving member 321 is provided with an assembly hole 3215 along the second direction Y, the assembly hole 3215 communicates with the mounting hole 3213, the limiting member 324 and the elastic member 325 are both provided in the assembly hole 3215, the receiving member 321 is provided with a sealing member 3216, the sealing member 3216 blocks the end of the assembly hole 3215 away from the mounting hole 3213; the elastic member 325 is provided on the side of the limiting member 324 away from the mounting hole, the elastic member 325 is in a compressed state and the two ends of the elastic member 325 abut against the sealing member 3216 and the limiting member 324 respectively, the elastic member 325 causes the limiting member 324 to abut against the side wall of the guide rod 323 along the second direction Y near the assembly hole 3215.

[0057] The elastic element 325 causes the limiting element 324 to abut against the guide rod 323, so that static friction can be generated between the limiting element 324 and the guide rod 323, and between the limiting element 324 and the inner wall of the corresponding mounting hole 3213, so that the guide rod 323 is fixed relative to the receiving element 321, thereby improving the stability of the first material 2001 fixed relative to the receiving element 321 and reducing the risk of the first material 2001 falling off.

[0058] In some embodiments, the limiting member 324 has a limiting portion 3241, which is configured to abut against the sidewall of the guide rod 323 along the second direction Y. The limiting portion 3241 has a guide surface 3241a inclined along the side of the first direction X near the mounting portion 3231, and the distance between the guide surface 3241a and the guide portion 3232 along the first direction X gradually decreases along the second direction Y and toward the guide rod 323. The guide surface 3241a is inclined, which reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting part 3241 near the guide rod 323 along the second direction Y. This reduces the contact area between the limiting part 3241 and the guide rod 323, making it easier for the guide rod 323 to move relative to the limiting part 3241, so that the first material 2001 can be disengaged from the mounting hole 3213. At the same time, during the process of the guide rod 323 being inserted into the mounting hole 3213, the guide part 3232 can abut against the guide surface 3241a, so that the limiting part 324 is subjected to a force along the second direction Y and away from the guide rod 323, so that the limiting part 324 moves away from the guide rod 323, thereby making it easier for the guide rod 323 to continue to move, so that the guide rod 323 can be inserted into the mounting hole 3213.

[0059] In some embodiments, the limiting member 324 is a ball, and the guide surface 3241a is the peripheral wall of the ball. In other embodiments, the limiting member 324 may be columnar, and the end of the columnar limiting member 324 near the mounting hole 3213 is the limiting portion 3241.

[0060] Alternatively, the receiving component 32 may also include a ball plunger, a limiting member 324 being the ball head of the ball plunger, an elastic member 325 being the spring of the ball plunger, and a sealing member 3216 being the cylinder of the ball plunger, the cylinder of the ball plunger being threadedly engaged with the assembly hole 3215.

[0061] In some embodiments, the guide rod 323 is provided with a limiting groove 3233, which is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the limiting portion 3241. Exemplarily, the limiting groove 3233 is an annular groove. The limiting portion 3241 is inserted into the limiting groove 3233, which can further constrain the guide rod 323 in the first direction X, thereby further improving the stability of the first component 2001 fixed relative to the receiving component 321.

[0062] Reference Figure 4A push sleeve 3332 is fitted onto a mounting rod 3214, with the mounting rod 3214 protruding from the push sleeve 3332. A second component 2002 is fitted onto the mounting rod 3214, with the second component 2002 located on the side of the push sleeve 3332 away from the receiving component 321. A second push member 3334b is located on the receiving component 321 and connected to the push sleeve 3332. The second push member 3334b can drive the push sleeve 3332 to move away from the receiving component 321, causing the push sleeve 3332 to push against the second component 2002, thereby disengaging the second component 2002 from the mounting rod 3214 and fitting it onto the injection mold 200 (see...). Figure 1 On the protruding structure of the sleeve 3332. In some embodiments, the second pusher 3334b is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the second pusher 3334b may be a linear motor or other structural member capable of driving the pusher sleeve 3332 to move.

[0063] In other embodiments, the second pushing member 3334b may be provided on the transfer member 331. When the second connecting member 334 is connected to the first connecting member 322, the second pushing member 3334b is connected to the pushing sleeve 3332, so that the second pushing member 3334b can drive the pushing sleeve 3332 to move.

Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
