Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment for cookware manufacturing, and in particular to a feeding device for edging glass pot lids. Background Technology
[0002] Glass pot lids are widely used in modern kitchen cookware due to their transparency, heat resistance, and aesthetic appeal. To enhance safety and sealing, a circular groove is typically machined into the outer edge of the glass lid, and a silicone rim is embedded within this groove. This silicone rim not only provides anti-slip, shock absorption, and heat insulation, but more importantly, it strengthens the seal between the lid and the pot, ensuring effective retention of heat and moisture during cooking.
[0003] Currently, the production of this type of silicone edging mainly employs a pre-forming process. The specific process is as follows: Workers first manually place several solid silicone strips, according to the shape and size requirements of the outer ring of the pot lid, into the annular cavity of a matching mold. Subsequently, the mold is heated, causing the internal silicone strips to melt and undergo a curing and cross-linking reaction, ultimately fusing to form a complete, closed annular silicone ring. After this formed silicone ring cools, workers manually fit it onto and press it into the pre-drilled annular groove on the edge of the glass pot lid, thus completing the assembly.
[0004] However, workers must carefully place multiple rubber strips one by one into the annular cavity of the mold, precisely positioning them along a predetermined path within the cavity to ensure the strip segments are nearly aligned and fill the entire annular path. This process is not only tedious, slow, and time-consuming, leading to low production efficiency, but manual placement also makes it difficult to guarantee the precise positioning and stable posture of the rubber strips within the mold. During placement and before mold closing, the rubber strips are prone to shifting, twisting, or not fully settling into the bottom of the cavity. These defects not only reduce the product's quality stability and consistency but also cause subsequent assembly difficulties and poor sealing, significantly increasing the product defect rate and hindering the scaling and automation of production. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is the inaccuracy of manual operation and positioning. It provides a feeding device for edging glass pot lids, aiming to solve the above problems.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the feeding equipment for rubber ring production, as follows:
[0025] A feeding device for edging a glass pot lid, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the assembly includes a base 1, a first motor 2, a turntable 3, a fixed plate 4, an electric slide rail 5, a connecting block 6, a push plate 7, a placement box 8, a baffle 9, a controller 10, and a discharge assembly. The first motor 2 is installed inside the base 1, and the turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The output shaft of the first motor 2 is connected to the turntable 3. The lower mold is placed on the turntable 3. The fixed plate 4 is connected to the top of the base 1. Electric slide rails 5 are installed on both the left and right ends of the top surface of the fixed plate 4. The connecting block 6 is slidably connected inside the electric slide rail 5. The top of the connecting block 6 is connected to the push plate 7. The electric slide rail 5 drives the push plate 7 to move back and forth through the connecting block 6. The front side of the push plate 7 is provided with an arc with the same diameter as the rubber ring. The top front end of the fixed plate 4 is connected to the placement box 8 for placing the rubber strip. The end of the placement box 8 is slidably connected to the baffle 9. The controller 10 is installed on the base 1. The first motor 2 and the electric slide rail 5 are both wired to the controller 10. The discharge assembly for pushing out the lower mold is provided inside the fixed plate 4.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the discharge assembly includes a mounting plate 11, a second motor 12, a gear 13, a top plate 14, a rack 15, and a contact switch 16. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the rear end of the fixed plate 4. The second motor 12 is mounted on the side of the mounting plate 11. The gear 13 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 12. The top plate 14 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 4. The front end of the top plate 14 passes through the fixed plate 4. The rack 15 is connected to the rear end of the top plate 14. The rack 15 meshes with the gear 13. The contact switch 16 is mounted at the rear end of the fixed plate 4. The rear end of the push plate 7 is pressed against the contact switch 16. The second motor 12 and the contact switch 16 are both wired to the controller 10. After the second motor 12 starts, it drives the gear 13 on its output shaft to rotate. The gear 13 meshes and drives the rack 15 to move linearly. The rack 15 pushes the top plate 14, which is fixed to it, to slide forward inside the fixed plate 4. The contact switch 16 sends a signal to the controller 10 to trigger the start and stop of the second motor 12 by detecting the pressing action when the push plate 7 is fully retracted.
[0027] like Figure 5As shown, it also includes rollers 17. Several rollers 17 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 14. The rollers 17 roll on the inner wall of the guide rail of the fixed plate 4. When the top plate 14 is driven by the rack 15 to slide in the fixed plate 4, the rollers 17 form rolling contact with the inner wall of the fixed plate 4, making the push-out action of the top plate 14 smoother and reducing power loss.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a protective pad 18. The protective pad 18 is connected to the middle of the front end of the top plate 14. The protective pad 18 first contacts the bottom surface of the lower mold to form a buffer interface, so as to avoid the glass mold from being broken by hard impact of the top plate 14.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a damping strip 19. The damping strip 19 is connected inside the placement box 8. The damping strip 19 is slidably connected to the baffle 9. When the baffle 9 is inserted, it is pressed and contacted with the damping strip 19, generating continuous frictional resistance to ensure the stability of the opening and closing state of the rubber strip falling channel.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an observation window 20. The placement box 8 is equipped with an observation window 20 made of transparent material, which allows staff to visually confirm the status of the rubber strip reserves without opening the cover, reducing the frequency of downtime for inspection.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a contact plate 21. The front top surface of the fixing plate 4 is provided with a contact plate 21, the surface of which is polished. After the rubber strip is pushed out, it slides along its smooth plane to guide it, so that the curvature of the rubber strip is completely matched with the mold groove.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a rubber pad 22. The outer ring of the turntable 3 is connected to the rubber pad 22. The bottom surface of the lower mold is in close contact with the rubber pad 22. The high elastic material provides stable static friction, ensuring that the lower mold does not slide relative to the turntable 3 when it rotates.
[0033] The operator places the turntable 3, which carries the lower mold, into position, ensuring that the lower mold rotates stably and synchronously when the first motor 2 drives the turntable 3 to rotate precisely. When three rubber strips need to be placed, the controller 10 instructs the first motor 2 to drive the turntable 3 to rotate 120 degrees each time. At the same time, the electric slide rail 5 drives the push plate 7 forward through the connecting block 6. The special arc surface at the front end of the push plate 7 precisely pushes out one pre-placed rubber strip each time it passes the bottom of the placement box 8. After pushing out the rubber strip, the push plate 7 remains extended to prevent subsequent rubber strips from falling, and returns to the starting position before the turntable rotates. The pushed rubber strip slides smoothly along the smooth contact plate 21 at the front end of the fixed plate 4, and bends into a predetermined arc under the guidance of the arc surface of the push plate 7, accurately falling into the groove on the outer edge of the lower mold at the current station. All electrical actions are coordinated and controlled by the controller 10 to achieve automated feeding.
[0034] After the three adhesive strips are placed, the push plate 7, driven by the electric slide rail 5, retracts completely to its initial position. During this process, the rear end of the push plate 7 presses against the contact switch 16, triggering a signal. The controller 10 then starts the second motor 12, which drives the gear 13 on its output shaft to rotate. The rack 15, meshing with the gear 13, is driven forward in a straight line, causing the top plate 14, which is fixed to it, to slide forward within the fixed plate 4. The rollers 17 at the bottom of the top plate 14 effectively reduce sliding friction, ensuring smooth movement. The protective pad 18 at the front end of the top plate 14 contacts the supporting bottom surface of the lower mold, pushing it out of its initial position for safe handling of finished products. The controller 10 then controls the second motor 12 to reverse, driving the gear 13 to rotate in the opposite direction, meshing with the rack 15 and causing the top plate 14 to retract to its initial position.
[0035] Staff can check the remaining amount of adhesive strips at any time through the observation window 20 on the placement box 8; when replenishing adhesive strips, simply pull out the baffle 9 to insert them in batches. The damping strip 19 will apply stable pressure to the baffle 9 after insertion to ensure its position is fixed.
