Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold blank processing technology, specifically a mold blank processing feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] The mold blank is the basic structural part in mold manufacturing. It is the basic framework or core structure of the mold. The mold blank provides precise positioning and guidance for the various components of the mold, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the product. When processing the mold blank, it needs to be transported to the processing position for processing.

[0003] In existing technologies, belt conveyors are often used to transport the mold blanks. However, once the mold blanks are delivered to the platform, the angle cannot be adjusted, requiring additional equipment for secondary positioning, which increases the processing time. Furthermore, the mold blanks are prone to shifting during belt conveying, resulting in inaccurate processing positions, which requires manual intervention and adjustment, making the process quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold blank processing feeding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A mold blank processing feeding machine includes a belt conveyor. One end of the belt conveyor is fixedly connected to a platform. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the platform. Limiting plates are movably installed on the upper surface of the belt conveyor near both sides. Several rollers are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting plates through shafts. Electric telescopic rods are installed on both outer walls of the belt conveyor, and the output end of the electric telescopic rods is fixedly connected to the limiting plates.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a circular groove, inside which a disc is rotatably connected. Two clamping plates are slidably connected to the upper surface of the disc, and rubber pads are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both clamping plates.

[0008] Preferably, a central gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the disc via a shaft, and two racks are movably arranged inside the disc, with one end of each rack fixedly connected to two clamping plates.

[0009] Preferably, the central gear is meshed with both racks, and a motor is mounted on the bottom surface of the disk, with the motor output connected to the central gear.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism further includes a fixed plate and a frame, both of which are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the platform. A connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate, and a transmission gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft. An annular plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the disc, and the outer wall of the annular plate has several toothed grooves, with the transmission gear meshing with the several toothed grooves.

[0011] Preferably, a knob is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft, a limiting rod is inserted into the upper surface of the frame, a plurality of fixing holes are opened on the upper surface of the knob, and the fixing holes fit with the limiting rod, and a support spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod.

[0012] Preferably, each of the two limiting plates has a baffle rotatably connected to one end of its outer wall near the platform via a shaft. One end of the baffle is inserted with a plug plate. A motor is installed on the outer wall of the limiting plate, and the output end of the motor is connected to the baffle.

[0013] Preferably, the baffle has a movable groove at its top interior, a locking block is inserted into the movable groove, a return spring is installed between the upper end of the locking block and the inner wall of the movable groove, and a plurality of locking slots are formed on the upper surface of the insert plate, and the locking slots fit into the locking block.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism, the mold blank is clamped, and then by rotating the knob, the connecting shaft and transmission gear rotate, and in conjunction with the various tooth grooves on the annular plate, the disc can be rotated, thereby driving the clamped mold blank to rotate, adjusting the placement angle of the mold blank to adapt to the subsequent processing station, eliminating the secondary positioning process and improving processing efficiency.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the electric telescopic rod drives the two limiting plates to move closer to each other, limiting the two sides of the mold blank. On the one hand, it prevents the mold blank from falling off the belt conveyor, and on the other hand, it can straighten the position of the mold blank and prevent it from shifting. It is convenient without manual intervention.

[0017] 3. In this utility model, the baffle and the insert plate rotate under the drive of the motor, which can automatically block and stop the mold blanks during the conveying process, ensuring that the mold blanks enter the platform one by one, avoiding the accumulation and collision of mold blanks, ensuring the orderly conveying of mold blanks, and can adjust the length of the insert plate extending out of the baffle to adapt to mold blanks of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of the feeder.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] A die blank processing feeder, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the system includes a belt conveyor 1, with a platform 7 fixedly connected to one end. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the platform 7. Limiting plates 3 are movably installed on both sides of the upper surface of the belt conveyor 1. Several rollers 4 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting plates 3 via shafts. An electric telescopic rod 2 drives the limiting plates 3 to adaptively adjust the width of the channel for conveying the mold blank on the belt conveyor 1. This, combined with the rolling guidance of the rollers 4, prevents deviation during mold blank conveying. Electric telescopic rods 2 are installed on both outer walls of the belt conveyor 1, and the output end of the electric telescopic rods 2 is fixedly connected to the limiting plates 3. The adjustment mechanism includes a circular groove 10, with a disc 8 rotatably connected inside the circular groove 10. Two clamping plates 9 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the disc 8. Rubber pads 22 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two clamping plates 9. The rubber pads 22 directly contact the mold blank, providing cushioning and increasing friction to prevent slippage or indentation.

[0030] Two limit plates 3 are rotatably connected to baffles 5 at one end of the outer wall near the platform 7 via shafts. A plug plate 6 is inserted into one end of the baffle 5. A motor is installed on the outer wall of the limit plate 3, and the output end of the motor is connected to the baffle 5. The baffle 5 and the plug plate 6 rotate under the drive of the motor, which can automatically block and stop the mold blanks during the conveying process, ensuring that the mold blanks enter the platform 7 one by one and avoid the accumulation and collision of mold blanks.

[0031] The baffle 5 has a movable groove 19 at its top. A locking block 17 is inserted into the movable groove 19. A return spring is installed between the upper end of the locking block 17 and the inner wall of the movable groove 19. The upper surface of the insert plate 6 has several slots 18, and the slots 18 fit with the locking blocks 17. The insert plate 6 can move along the inside of the baffle 5. The inclined surface of the locking block 17 moves along the inner wall of the slot 18 and gradually moves out. The whole is squeezed and moved into the movable groove 19. The return spring contracts until the extension length of the insert plate 6 is adjusted. Under the action of the return spring, the locking block 17 can be driven into the corresponding slot 18 to fix the position of the insert plate 6. The extension length of the insert plate 6 can be locked by the locking block 17 and the slot 18 to adapt to the blocking and stopping requirements of mold blanks of different sizes. When the mold blank is blocked, the belt conveyor 1 stops conveying. The start and stop of the belt conveyor 1, the motor and the motor can be preset and controlled by external control equipment. This is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In use, the mold blank is placed on the belt conveyor 1 and conveyed to the upper surface of the platform 7. During the conveying process, the two limiting plates 3 are driven to move closer to each other by the electric telescopic rods 2 to limit the two sides of the mold blank. This prevents the mold blank from falling off the belt conveyor 1 and keeps the mold blank in the correct position. Once one of the mold blanks is conveyed to the upper surface of the platform 7, the motor drives the baffle 5 and the insert plate 6 to rotate to a horizontal position to block the next mold blank on the belt conveyor 1. After the mold blank on the platform 7 is grabbed by the external robotic arm, the baffle 5 and the insert plate 6 rotate to a vertical position, allowing the next mold blank to be conveyed to the platform 7. By repeating the above operation, the mold blanks can be conveyed in an orderly manner.

[0033] The bottom of the disc 8 is rotatably connected to a central gear 21 via a shaft. Two racks 20 are movably arranged inside the disc 8, and one end of each rack 20 is fixedly connected to two clamping plates 9. The central gear 21 and the two racks 20 are meshed with each other. A motor is mounted on the bottom surface of the disc 8, and the output end of the motor is connected to the central gear 21. The motor drives the central gear 21 to rotate, causing the two racks 20 to move, which can drive the two clamping plates 9 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping and positioning the mold blank.

[0034] The adjustment mechanism also includes a fixed plate 12 and a frame 15. The fixed plate 12 and the frame 15 are both fixedly connected to the outer wall of the platform 7. A connecting shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 12. A transmission gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 23. An annular plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the disc 8. Several toothed grooves are opened on the outer wall of the annular plate 11, and the transmission gear 13 is meshed with several toothed grooves.

[0035] A knob 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 23. A limiting rod 16 is inserted into the upper surface of the frame 15. Several fixing holes are opened on the upper surface of the knob 14, and the fixing holes fit with the limiting rod 16. A support spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 16. One end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the frame 15, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 16. When the limiting rod 16 is moved upward, so that the bottom end of the limiting rod 16 moves out of the fixing hole, the support spring is compressed and can rotate the knob 14, thereby driving the connecting shaft 23 and the transmission gear 13 to rotate, which in turn cooperates with the annular plate 1. Each toothed groove on 1 can move the clamped mold blank, adjust the placement angle of the mold blank, eliminate the secondary positioning process, and improve processing efficiency. After adjustment, under the action of the support spring rebound force, it can drive the limit rod 16 to move down and insert into the corresponding fixing hole, and fix the position of the knob 14 again, thereby fixing the position of the disc 8 and the annular plate 11, and then fixing the position of the mold blank. At this time, by reversing the motor, the two clamping plates 9 are driven away from the mold blank, releasing the clamping of the mold blank. The external robotic arm can grab the mold blank to the designated position for processing.

[0036] Specifically, after the mold blank is transported to the upper surface of the platform 7, the central gear 21 is rotated by the motor, causing the two racks 20 to move in opposite directions. This causes the two clamping plates 9 to move closer to each other and clamp the mold blank with the help of the rubber pad 22. At this time, the limit rod 16 is moved upward, so that the limit rod 16 moves out of the fixing hole and releases the fixation of the knob 14. The knob 14 can then be rotated, causing the connecting shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission gear 13 to rotate. In conjunction with the various tooth grooves on the annular plate 11, the disc 8 can be rotated, thereby causing the clamped mold blank to rotate and adjusting the placement angle of the mold blank to adapt to the subsequent processing station.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
