Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-performance carbon fiber material extrusion molding technology, and specifically discloses a fully automated carbon fiber forming line. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of high-performance carbon fiber materials, when producing similar products or components, the existing technology still involves independent molding. The mold is transferred to the outside by personnel or equipment for manual laying of raw materials. Then, the molding mold is hoisted to the press by a trolley or crane. Personnel apply force to push the mold into the press, and finally the product is extruded and molded. Then, the molding mold is moved out of the press by personnel, and the mold opening action is performed manually to remove the finished product from the inside.

[0003] The technical drawbacks of the carbon fiber molding methods described above can be summarized as follows: 1. Low efficiency: In the current trend of automation equipment transformation, the independent operation of a single piece of equipment can no longer meet the current production needs; 2. Inability to operate in conjunction with each other and low degree of automation: In the existing carbon fiber material production mode, most of them still use the independent operation of multiple pieces of equipment, which cannot form a production system or production line. Too much human factor is involved in the operation of workers, which leads to an increase in uncertainty factors, ultimately resulting in an increase in mold failure rate, a decrease in product yield, and even an increase in the risk of workplace accidents.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, as a technical unit in the heavy press equipment industry, it is necessary to design a fully automated carbon fiber forming line. The purpose is to replace the manual operation process or steps in the production process with equipment, minimize human operation, improve production efficiency and yield, and reduce the probability of workplace accidents.

[0036] When setting up two hot presses 3 and one cold press 4, the mold storage 7 is positioned close to the trolley 1, with two hot presses 3 adjacent to each other next to the mold storage 7, and one cold press 4 positioned close to the mold opening operation table 5. It should be noted that the location and number of the hot presses 3 and cold presses 4 are determined according to actual production needs. Since the hot presses 3 and cold presses 4 are common equipment in this field, their operation process and principles will not be detailed here.

[0037] The transverse conveyor line 2 is equipped with a conveyor chain 20, which enables the transverse transport of the mold 12. To achieve external protection, end guards 21 are provided around the conveyor chain 20 at both ends of the transverse conveyor line 2. The purpose of these guards is to prevent external objects from intruding and causing damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.

[0038] On the transverse conveyor line 2, a guide rail 24 is provided for each press. In this embodiment, channel steel is used as the guide rail 24.

[0040] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can also provide a support guide wheel 44 on the front exterior of the workbench 41, so as to realize the moving support of the mold 12 through the support guide wheel 44, and facilitate the sliding support when the mold enters and exits.

[0041] In actual operation, this utility model, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the hook 27 is hinged and fixed on the moving part 26. The bottom plate of the hook 27 is provided with a vertically driven hook drive cylinder 28, and there are two hook drive cylinders 28. They are respectively located near the hot press 3, the cold press 4, and the mold library 7. This location can be understood as the inner side of the transverse conveyor line 2, which is used to realize the unhooking drive of the hook 27 in front of the press or the mold library. They are also located on the outer side of the transverse conveyor line 2, that is, inside the front cover 25, which is used to realize the unhooking drive of the hook 27 on the transverse conveyor line 2.

[0042] This utility model also provides a trigger ramp 271 at the front end of the hook 27. When the hook 27 moves toward the mold, the trigger ramp 271 touches the mold 12 and realizes automatic hooking of the pulling groove 13.

[0043] This invention features a lifting platform 51 on the mold-opening operating table 5. A lifting drive cylinder 52 is installed at the bottom of the lifting platform 51 for vertical force application. Those skilled in the art can lay fiber molding materials on the mold-opening operating table 5. This invention also features mold-opening lifting frames 53 on the left and right sides of the lifting platform 51. The bottom of each mold-opening lifting frame 53 is equipped with a mold-opening drive cylinder 54 and a mold-opening positioning seat 56. The mold-opening drive cylinder 54 is used for vertical driving, and the mold-opening positioning seat 56 provides support after the lifting platform 51 descends.

[0044] A mold opening protrusion 531 is provided on the mold opening lifting frame 53. The operator controls the entire lifting platform 51 and the mold opening lifting frame 53 by controlling the switch 551 on the control panel 55.

[0045] This utility model also includes a mold magazine 7, which uses a pull hook 27 to pull the molds inside the mold magazine 7 outward. This patent application also discloses a mold magazine that is more suitable for the operation of this fully automatic carbon fiber molding line, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 8 , 9 As shown, it includes a base 70 and a top frame 72. A guide post 73 and a lifting area 74 are provided between the base 70 and the top frame 72. A lifting cylinder 76 is provided on the side of the lifting area 74 as a vertical driving device to realize the vertical movement of the lifting area 74 along the guide post 73. The lifting area 74 is provided with multiple mold placement platforms 741. Each mold placement platform 741 is provided with a front positioning device and a rear positioning device. In this embodiment, the front positioning device is a front positioning cylinder 745 and a front positioning pin 746. The front positioning device is adjustable. When the mold 12 enters each mold placement platform 741, the front positioning pin 746 rises vertically to lock the positioning groove 14 on the mold 12. This utility model is equipped with a rear positioning post 749 as a rear positioning device. However, it should be noted that even if this utility model is equipped with a rear positioning post 749, the mold cannot be directly used to impact the rear positioning post 749 to achieve positioning. When the mold 12 moves into the mold library 7, the mold reaches the rear end of the mold placement platform 741. The rear support wheel 722 on the mold placement platform 741 provides vertical sliding support. When the mold 12 touches the rear sensor 726, the hook 27 no longer drives backward.

[0046] Furthermore, this utility model includes a flow guiding device within each mold placement platform 741, the flow guiding device being located on the side and the mold placement platform surface. For example... Figure 10As shown, it includes a guide bar 747 on the top surface of the mold placement platform 741, and a mold placement platform guide wheel 748 is provided on the guide bar 747; it also includes a side guide rod 742 on the side of the mold placement platform 741, and a side guide wheel 743 is provided on the side guide rod 742; the mold placement platform guide wheel 748 and the side guide wheel 743 cooperate to realize the stable entry and exit of the mold 12 on the mold placement platform 741.

[0047] Because the lifting area 74 in this utility model is multi-layered, it must be vertically lifted to select the mold 12 on different mold placement platforms 741. Therefore, when selecting the mold 12, the vertical stability of the lifting area 74 must be ensured. Thus, a positioning pin 752 is provided between the lifting area 74 and the outside. The positioning pin 752 is provided on the locking cylinder 751, which is provided on the locking positioning frame 75. The positioning pin 752 is provided with a positioning hole 744 on the lifting area 74. The two are inserted and cooperated to achieve locking and positioning.

[0048] Furthermore, this invention includes a movable limiting rod 724 on the lifting area 74, with a trigger plate 725 at the end of the movable limiting rod 724. A position sensor 726 is mounted on the rear frame 721 in conjunction with the movable limiting rod 724. By setting two position sensors 726, one at the top and one at the bottom, respectively, the lifting area 74 can be limited during vertical movement.

[0049] Furthermore, each mold placement platform 741 is equipped with a layer positioning sensor 727. Through the cooperation of the layer positioning sensor 727 and the trigger 728, the movement and positioning of the mold placement platform 741 are finally realized.

[0050] In summary, this utility model, through the above-mentioned configuration, provides a mold opening operation table 5 at the end of the transverse conveyor line 2, and provides several presses and at least one mold library 7 on the side of the transverse conveyor line 2. The mold library 7 is provided with a single-layer or multi-layer mold placement platform. Guide rails and hooks 27 are respectively provided on the transverse conveyor line 2 corresponding to the mold library 7 and the presses to realize the entry and exit drive of the mold 12.

[0051] This invention features a high degree of automation, enabling the simultaneous operation of multiple molds for carbon fiber product production. This improves production efficiency and product molding accuracy, increases product yield, reduces manual operation, and lowers the probability of workplace accidents.
