Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated mold-taking technology, and more specifically, relates to a fully automatic mold-taking device for robotic arms. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, operators need to manually adjust the position of the robotic arm, set basic parameters (such as adsorption pressure and movement trajectory) through the control panel, and rely on experience to judge the mold opening timing. Furthermore, after mold removal, manual intervention is required to determine the placement point, as it cannot automatically identify workpiece position deviations or mold deformations, necessitating manual calibration. Ultimately, this results in poor mold removal efficiency, excessively high labor costs, and an inability to achieve efficient automated operation in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a fully automatic mold-removing device for robotic arms, which can realize the mold-removing step in a fully automatic manner and speed up work efficiency.

[0004] This utility model discloses a fully automatic mold removal device for robotic arms, comprising a core, a cavity, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly is used to move the core upward after the mold to be removed is injected, so that the mold to be removed moves with the core to the outside of the cavity. A mold removal suction cup is used to adsorb the lower end face of the mold to be removed. A driving assembly is used to drive the mold removal suction cup to move between a mold removal position and a film placement position. A flipping assembly is used to drive the mold removal suction cup to rotate when the driving assembly moves to the film placement position, so that the mold to be removed moves away from the core. When the mold removal suction cup is in the mold removal position, it adsorbs the mold to be removed; when the mold removal suction cup is in the film placement position, it releases the mold to be removed.

[0005] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a telescopic drive and a vertical mold-taking component.

[0009] Furthermore, the moving component includes a transmission belt and a drive groove, the transmission belt being placed in the slide rail groove, and the moving end of the transmission belt being placed in the drive groove, so that the drive groove drives the transmission belt to move.

[0010] Furthermore, the mold-taking frame also includes a limiting platform, which is located at the rear end of the mold-taking frame. When the flipping component is not flipping, the flipping component is placed on the limiting platform to provide support for the flipping component.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features a vertically gripping component for picking up the mold. At the lower end of this vertical component, there is a mold-picking frame and a flipping assembly.

[0022] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7 A fully automatic manipulator mold-removing device includes a mold-removing assembly 1, a mold-removing frame 2, a transmission belt 3, and a mold template 4. The mold-removing frame 2 is mounted inside the mold-removing assembly 1 and is fixedly connected to the mold-removing assembly 1. The transmission belt 3 is located on the mold-removing frame 2 and is connected to the mold-removing frame 2 so that the components on the mold-removing frame 2 can move along the track of the transmission belt 3. The mold template 4 is located at the lower end of the mold-removing assembly 1, and the mold-removing frame 2 is positioned at a higher height than the mold template 4. The mold template 4 is fixedly connected to the mold-removing assembly 1.

[0023] Specifically, the mold-taking assembly 1 includes a base 11, a sliding plate 12, a limiting slide rod 13, a telescopic drive component 14, and a vertical mold-taking component 15. The base 11 is placed on a mounting surface, which can be the ground or a mounting platform, etc. The sliding plate 12 is placed on the upper end of the base 11, and the sliding plate 12 is fitted around the limiting slide rod 13. The limiting slide rod 13 is set along the height direction, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the base 11. The sliding plate 12 is slidably connected to the limiting slide rod 13, so that the sliding plate 12 has the ability to move along the height direction. The telescopic drive component 14 is located at the upper end of the limiting slide rod 13, and the telescopic drive component 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting slide rod 13. In this embodiment, the telescopic drive component 14 is a telescopic cylinder. The output end of the telescopic drive component 14 is provided with a telescopic output rod 141. One end of the telescopic output rod 141 is connected to the output end of the telescopic drive component 14, and the other end of the telescopic output rod 141 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 12, so that the output end of the telescopic drive component 14 drives the telescopic output rod 141 to move along the height direction. The vertical mold-taking component 15 is located on the sliding plate 12. The vertical mold-taking component 15 includes a mold-taking output end 151 and a mold-taking end head 152. The mold-taking output end 151 is positioned on the upper end of the sliding plate 12 and is connected to the outer drive component via a connecting pipe. In this embodiment, the outer drive component is a drive motor. The mold-taking end head 152 is positioned on the lower end of the sliding plate 12 and is connected to the mold-taking output end 151, so that the mold-taking output end 151 is driven by the drive component to enable the mold-taking end head 152 to have the ability to pick up or grasp. A core is also provided on the mold removal end 152 so that the mold moves away from the mold part 4 along the core.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the mold removal component 1 is more convenient in the mold removal process. The telescopic drive component and the vertical mold removal component move the mold to be removed away from the mold, so as to prevent the inconvenience of mold removal caused by manual mold removal and improve the mold removal efficiency.

[0025] Specifically, the mold-taking frame 2 is equipped with a slide rail groove 21, a first slide rod 22, a movable frame 23, a fixed plate 24, a flipping drive component 25, and a mold-taking suction cup 26. The slide rail groove 21 is located on one side of the mold-taking frame 2. The first slide rod 22 is located on the other side of the mold-taking frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the mold-taking frame 2. The movable frame 23 is mounted on the upper end of the mold-taking frame 2, and one side of the movable frame 23 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 22. The movable frame 23 includes a first slider 231, a drive groove 232, a limiting platform 233, a second slide rod 234, and a second slider 235. There are two first sliders 231, and a distance is maintained between the two first sliders 231. The first slider 231 is sleeved on the first slide rod 22, and the first slider 231 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 22. The drive groove 232 is located on the side near the slide rail groove 21. The drive groove 232 and the slide rail groove 21 are vertically aligned, and the drive groove 232 matches the transmission belt 3 so that the transmission belt 3 is placed inside the drive groove 232. A drive motor for driving the transmission belt 3 is installed inside the drive groove 232, so that the transmission belt is driven by the drive groove 232 to move the moving frame 23. The limiting platform 233 is located at the rear end along the opening direction of the drive groove 232 (e.g., ...). Figure 6As shown, the edges of the limiting platform 233 and the fixing plate 24 are matched to each other so that the edge of the fixing plate 24 can be placed on the limiting platform 233. In this technical solution, the limiting platform 233 provides support for the rear end of the fixing plate 24. The fixing plate 24 only has the fixing force of the front flipping component, which may cause the fixing plate 24 to tilt at the flat end, thus preventing the fixing plate 24 from being damaged under long-term use. The second slide rod 234 is placed at the lower end of the first slide rod 22, and the two sides of the second slide rod 234 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the two sides of the mold taking frame 2. The second slider 235 is sleeved on the second slide rod 234, and the second slider 235 is located in the middle of the area formed between the two first sliders 231. The second slider 235 is slidably connected to the second slide rod 234, and the upper end of the second slider 235 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 23. The first slider 231 and the second slider 235 are both connected to the output end of the outer drive motor, enabling the first slider 231 and the second slider 235 to slide along the first slide bar 22 and the second slide bar 234. A fixed plate 24 is placed on the upper end of the movable frame 23, and the fixed plate 24 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 23 via a flipping drive member 25, so that the fixed plate 24 moves when the movable frame 23 moves. The flipping drive member 25 is located on one side of the movable frame 23. In this embodiment, the flipping drive member 25 is a flipping cylinder, and its side end is fixedly connected to the movable frame 23. The flipping drive member 25 includes a flipping output end and a flipping output rod 251. The flipping output end is connected to one end of the flipping output rod 251, and the other end of the flipping output rod 251 passes through the fixed plate 24 and is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 24, so that the flipping drive member 25 drives the flipping output rod 251 to flip the fixed plate 24. The mold-taking suction cup 26 is located in the middle of the fixed plate 24. The mold-taking suction cup 26 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 24, and the output port of the mold-taking suction cup 26 is connected to the outer pump body so that the output port of the mold-taking suction cup 26 has the ability to suck.

[0026] In other solutions, the moving frame is driven by a moving drive component, which is replaceable and can be a transmission belt or a transmission chain, etc. The moving frame can be moved from the mold removal position to the film placement position in all the above ways.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire mold removal process is carried out through automated transportation, which reduces the impact or damage to the mold during manual mold removal, greatly reduces costs and increases mold removal efficiency.

[0028] The transmission belt 3 is existing technology in the art and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the transmission belt 3 can also be replaced by a transmission chain to drive the moving frame 23 to move.

[0029] The mold part 4 has a cavity 41 in the middle. The opening position of the cavity 41 matches the vertical mold take-up part 15 so that the vertical mold take-up part 15 can enter the cavity 41 along the height direction to take the mold.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In operation, after injection molding is complete, the core moves the mold upwards to the outside of the cavity. The core is placed on the vertical ejector, which then ejects the mold along its height into the cavity. After ejection, the ejector returns to its initial position along its height. Next, the moving frame moves along the transmission belt and drive groove, placing the fixing plate below the vertical ejector, with the ejector suction cup corresponding to it. This allows the suction cup to engage with the mold on the vertical ejector, sucking the mold onto the suction cup. The vertical ejector then disengages, and the moving frame returns to its initial position along the transmission belt and drive groove. Finally, the flipping drive mechanism flips the output rod, flipping the fixing plate to the outside of the ejector assembly, disengaging the suction cup, and lowering the mold, completing the operation.
