Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sealing strip technology, and specifically relates to a rotary shuttle transport mold connection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand in the automotive market, the demand for seals installed in automobiles has also increased. The production of a set of seals requires multiple manufacturing processes, and the corner molding process, due to its unique characteristics, has a long processing time. If the number of injection molding machines is increased, and workers are allowed to work on another machine while waiting for one machine to finish its work, then workers still need to move back and forth between the two machines. This leads to wasted manpower and reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary shuttle transport mold receiving device, which improves production efficiency and saves the cost of injection molding machine and mold while maintaining the same production efficiency as previous production methods.

[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotary shuttle transport mold receiving device, comprising:

[0005] A rotating device is installed on an injection molding machine, and the rotating device is equipped with at least one mold lifting and positioning device.

[0006] The mold is mounted on a mold lifting and positioning device and works in conjunction with the injection molding machine. This utility model describes a rotary shuttle transport mold-connecting device. A rotary device is installed on one side of the injection molding machine, and two molds are mounted on the rotary device. The injection molding machine and the worker are positioned on opposite sides of the corresponding mold. Through the reciprocating transport of the rotary device, the two molds switch positions back and forth between the injection molding machine and the worker. This achieves the effect of one mold being connected at the corner while the other mold is being assembled, avoiding long worker waiting times or frequent worker movement, improving production efficiency, and saving on the cost of the injection molding machine and molds while maintaining the same production efficiency as previous methods.

[0007] The mold lifting and positioning device includes a set of crossbeams, a set of lifting modules and a lifting drive mechanism. The crossbeams are arranged opposite to each other on the rotating device, and the lifting drive mechanism is arranged on the crossbeams, with its output end connected to the lifting modules.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting module includes a mold mounting plate, which is provided with a set of mold mounting guide holes for mold installation, a set of descending guide shafts, a set of ascending guide positioning shafts, a set of lifting cylinder flanges, and a mold mounting positioning block. The descending guide shafts mate with the descending positioning holes on the lower mounting plate of the injection molding machine, and the ascending guide positioning shafts mate with the ascending positioning holes on the crossbeam. The lifting drive mechanism is connected to the lifting cylinder flanges. During operation, the lifting drive mechanism drives the lifting module to descend, positioning it by mates with the descending positioning holes on the injection molding machine via the descending guide shafts. When it rises, the ascending guide positioning shafts mate with the ascending positioning holes on the crossbeam to complete the positioning.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning ring is provided on the rising guide positioning shaft. The positioning ring effectively prevents the lifting device from falling directly to the ground due to malfunction.

[0010] Preferably, the mold mounting plate is further provided with a lifting position sensing component. The lifting position sensing component is provided to detect the lifting position.

[0011] Furthermore, the injection molding machine is also equipped with a mold-locking device for locking the mold. The mold-locking device can effectively fix the mold and increase its stability in subsequent processing.

[0012] More preferably, the injection molding machine is equipped with a mold clamping position sensing mechanism for detecting the position.

[0013] In addition, the rotating device includes a rotating drive mechanism and a rotating turntable, the rotating turntable being disposed above the rotating drive mechanism, and the crossbeam being disposed on the rotating turntable.

[0014] A rotating gear is provided below the rotating turntable. The rotating gear meshes with the drive gear in the rotating drive mechanism. A limiting protrusion is provided on the inner side of the rotating gear.

[0015] The rotary drive mechanism has a limiting flange on one side of the disk at the top for limiting the position of the limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion and limiting flange effectively limit the position of the limiting protrusion.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The rotary shuttle transport mold connecting device of this utility model is provided by setting a rotary device on one side of the injection molding machine, and installing two molds on the rotary device. The injection molding machine and the worker are respectively on the side of the corresponding mold. Under the reciprocating transport of the rotary device, the two molds are switched back and forth between the injection molding machine and the worker's position. When one mold is in the corner, the other mold is in the strip loading effect. This avoids the problem of long waiting time for workers or frequent movement of workers, improves production efficiency, and saves the cost of injection molding machine and molds within the same production efficiency as the previous production method.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, two lower molds are set on opposite corners of the equipment turntable, and one upper mold is set on the injection molding machine. The turntable is driven by the equipment servo motor to rotate and reciprocate to transport the lower molds to the injection molding machine in turn. This achieves the purpose of one mold being in the corner and the other mold being in the strip loading at the same time. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the turntable's servo drive system and the rapid self-positioning structure between the lower mold on the turntable and the injection molding machine, accurate mold closing of the upper and lower molds is achieved when the corners are joined.

[0033] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0034] like Figures 1 to 13 The rotary shuttle transport mold receiving device shown includes:

[0035] A rotating device 1 is installed on the injection molding machine 3, and at least one mold lifting and positioning device 2 is provided on the rotating device 1.

[0036] The lower mold 4 is mounted on the mold lifting and positioning device 2 and cooperates with the injection molding machine 3. The upper mold is mounted on the injection molding machine 3.

[0037] The mold lifting and positioning device 2 includes a set of crossbeams 21, a set of lifting modules 22, and a lifting drive mechanism 23. The crossbeams 21 are mounted opposite to the rotating device 1, and the lifting drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the crossbeams 21, with its output end connected to the lifting modules 22. It should be noted that the lifting drive mechanism 23 can be a hydraulic cylinder or other drive mechanisms that meet the actual needs.

[0038] The lifting module 22 includes a mold mounting plate 221, which is provided with a set of mold mounting guide holes 222 for mounting the lower mold 4, a set of descending guide shafts 223, a set of ascending guide positioning shafts 224, a set of lifting cylinder flanges 225, and a mold mounting positioning block 226. The descending guide shafts 223 cooperate with the descending positioning holes 32 on the lower mounting plate 31 of the injection molding machine 3, and the ascending guide positioning shafts 224 cooperate with the ascending positioning holes 211 on the crossbeam 21. The lifting drive mechanism 23 is connected to the lifting cylinder flanges 225.

[0039] The rising guide positioning shaft 224 is provided with a positioning ring 2241.

[0040] The mold mounting plate 221 is also provided with a lifting position sensing component 226.

[0041] The injection molding machine 3 is also equipped with a set of locking devices 33 for locking the mold lifting and positioning device 2.

[0042] The injection molding machine 3 is equipped with a mold clamping position sensing mechanism 34 for detecting the position.

[0043] The rotating device 1 includes a rotating drive mechanism 11 and a rotating turntable 12. The rotating turntable 12 is located above the rotating drive mechanism 11, and the crossbeam 21 is located on the rotating turntable 12.

[0044] like Figure 4 A rotating gear 121 is provided below the rotating turntable 12 shown. The rotating gear 121 meshes with the drive gear 1101 in the rotating drive mechanism 11. A limiting protrusion 122 is provided on the inner side of the rotating gear 121.

[0045] The rotary drive mechanism 11 has a limiting flange 111 on one side of the disk at the top for limiting the position of the limiting protrusion 122. The rotary drive mechanism 11 can be selected according to the actual needs of the enterprise, choosing a drive mechanism capable of driving the rotating turntable 22. In this embodiment, a set of auxiliary rotating support wheel assemblies are distributed on the disk at the top of the rotary drive mechanism 11. Figure 3 As shown, this facilitates the rotation of the turntable 12.

[0046] The working principle of the rotary shuttle transport mold receiving device described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] After the staff installs the sealing strip on the lower mold 4 of the mold away from the injection molding machine 3, they start the rotating device 1. The drive gear 1101 in the rotating drive mechanism 11 drives the rotating gear 121 on the rotating turntable 12 to rotate, rotating the lower mold 4 with the sealing strip installed to the corresponding station of the injection molding machine 3.

[0048] The lifting drive mechanism 23 located at one end of the injection molding machine 3 on the mold lifting and positioning device 2 drives the corresponding lifting module 22 to lower the corresponding mold lower mold 4. The lowering guide shaft 223 is positioned in conjunction with the lowering positioning hole 32 on the lower mounting plate 31 of the injection molding machine 3. At this time, because there is a gap between the rising guide positioning shaft 224 and the rising positioning hole 211 and a gap between the lifting cylinder flange 225 and the mold mounting plate 221, the mold lifting and positioning device 2 and the lower mounting plate 31 of the injection molding machine 3 are in an independent positioning state and are disconnected from the rotary shuttle transport mold receiving equipment.

[0049] The clamping device 33 on the injection molding machine 3 rotates upward to fix the mold lifting and positioning device 2, which contains the lower mold 4, onto the lower mounting plate 31 of the injection molding machine 3. At this time, the lower mold 44 is transported and installed, and the injection molding machine 3 begins to connect the corners. At the same time, the lower mold 4 on the side away from the injection molding machine 3 completes the opening action, and then the workers begin to load the strips.

[0050] After the worker installs the sealing strip on the lower mold 4 of the mold on the side away from the injection molding machine 3, and after the injection molding machine 3 completes the corner mold opening, the mold locking device 33 on the injection molding machine 3 flips down and opens. The lifting drive mechanism 23 located on the side of the injection molding machine 3 drives the mold lifting and positioning device 2, which is equipped with the lower mold 4, to rise. During the rising process, the lifting drive mechanism 23 reconnects and fixes the mold lifting and positioning device 2 to the rotating shuttle transport mold receiving equipment after the rising guide positioning shaft 224 and the rising positioning hole 211 are tapered and positioned.

[0051] The rotary drive mechanism 11 drives the rotary gear 121 on the rotary turntable 12 to rotate via the drive gear 1101, so that the lower mold 4 with the sealing strip is rotated into the injection molding machine, and the lower mold 4 with the corner completed is rotated out to the worker.

[0052] The above process is then repeated.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
