Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a molding device for processing automotive interior panels, including a frame 1, a PLC controller 2 mounted on the side of the frame 1, a first electric push rod 8 mounted on the top of the frame 1, and a pressure plate 7 fixed to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 8, a position adjustment mechanism 4 mounted on the side of the frame 1, a support leg 10 fixed on the adjustment part of the position adjustment mechanism 4, an angle adjustment mechanism 5 mounted on the side of the support leg 10, a mold body 3 fixed on the adjustment part of the angle adjustment mechanism 5, and a material picking auxiliary unit 6 mounted on the bottom of the mold body 3, the PLC controller 2 being electrically connected to an external power supply, and the first electric push rod 8 being electrically connected to the PLC controller 2.
[0022] The position adjustment mechanism 4 includes a second electric push rod 41 and a connecting seat 43. The second electric push rod 41 is mounted on the side of the frame 1, and the connecting seat 43 is fixed to the side of the support leg 10. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 43. The second electric push rod 41 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The position adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a moving wheel 42, which is mounted on the bottom of the support leg 10. The automotive interior panel is placed in the molding cavity of the mold body 3. Then, the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 41 drives the support leg 10 through the connecting seat 43. 0. The moving wheels 42 at the bottom of the support leg 10 move until the mold body 3 moves directly above the support seat 9. The support seat 9 supports the mold body 3. Then, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 8 drives the pressure plate 7 to move up and down. The pressure plate 7 presses the car interior panel into the mold body 3 to extrude and shape it. After the molding is completed, the mold body 3 moves to the material unloading area under the drive of the position adjustment mechanism 4. This avoids the risk of workers putting their hands under the pressure plate 7 to unload the material, thus ensuring the safety of use.
[0023] The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a servo motor 51 and a rotating shaft 52. The mold body 3 is rotatably connected to the support leg 10 via the rotating shaft 52. The servo motor 51 is installed on the side of the support leg 10. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 52. The servo motor 51 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The material handling auxiliary unit 6 includes an air hole 61 and an air pump 62. The air holes 61 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the forming cavity of the mold body 3. The air pump 62 is installed at the bottom of the mold body 3. The pump port of the air pump 62 is connected to the air hole 61. The air pump 62 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 drives the mold body 3 to rotate via the rotating shaft 52, so that the opening of the mold body 3 faces downward. Then, the air pump 62 blows air into the air hole 61. The airflow is sprayed onto the automotive interior panel through the air hole 61, thereby pushing the automotive interior panel out of the mold body 3. This material handling is convenient, saves the trouble of manual material handling, saves time and effort, and improves processing efficiency.
[0024] It also includes a support base 9, which is fixed to the side of the frame 1 and is located directly below the pressure plate 7. The top of the support base 9 is in contact with and slidably connected to the bottom of the mold body 3, so as to provide stable support for the mold body 3.
[0025] The working principle of the molding device for processing automotive interior panels provided by this utility model is as follows: The automotive interior panel is placed in the molding cavity of the mold body 3. Then, the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 41 drives the support leg 10 to move through the connecting seat 43. The moving wheel 42 at the bottom of the support leg 10 moves until the mold body 3 moves directly above the support seat 9. The support seat 9 supports the mold body 3. Then, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 8 drives the pressure plate 7 to move up and down. The pressure plate 7 presses the automotive interior panel into the mold body 3 to extrude and form it. After forming, the mold body 3 moves to the material picking position under the drive of the position adjustment mechanism 4. Then, the output shaft of the servo motor 51 drives the mold body 3 to rotate through the rotating shaft 52, so that the opening of the mold body 3 faces downward. Then, the air pump 62 blows air into the air hole 61. The airflow is sprayed onto the automotive interior panel through the air hole 61, thereby pushing the automotive interior panel out of the mold body 3.
