Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to an automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production. Background Technology

[0002] Foam containers are widely used in daily life and industrial fields. They are favored for their lightweight, heat insulation and low cost.

[0003] Foam containers are formed using molding equipment. After molding, they are ejected directly from the movable mold. Subsequently, the containers fall naturally and require manual arrangement to ensure they are neatly arranged with their openings facing upwards. To simplify this manual arrangement process, it is essential to design an automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production, comprising a support frame, characterized in that the two sides of the support frame are connected by mounting blocks and fixing plates, an electric push rod is mounted on the fixing plate, the push rod end of the electric push rod is connected to the lifting plate, a switching shaft is horizontally rotatably mounted between the lifting plates, the switching shaft is connected to a reduction motor that enables it to rotate, the switching shaft is connected to a working frame, the working frame has several clamping components for clamping foam containers, the clamping components include an upper arc-shaped clamping piece and a lower arc-shaped clamping piece fixed on the working frame, and the upper arc-shaped clamping piece and the lower arc-shaped clamping piece are arranged vertically correspondingly, an elastic airbag is mounted on the lower arc-shaped clamping piece, the elastic airbag is connected to an inflation / deflation module through a pipeline, one end of the lower arc-shaped clamping piece is also rotatably connected to an auxiliary guide plate, and the other end of the auxiliary guide plate is connected to the elastic airbag.

[0006] A guide sleeve is installed on the fixed plate, and a guide rod is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve. The upper end of the guide rod is connected to the lifting plate, and the lower end of the guide rod is connected to the connecting plate.

[0007] The fixing plate is also equipped with an upper limiting component and a lower limiting component.

[0008] The support frame has a conveyor belt.

[0009] The switching axis is connected to the working frame via a connecting block.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production has the following advantages:

[0011] In this invention, after the foam container is formed, it is pushed horizontally into the clamping assembly. At this time, the elastic airbag is inflated and clamps the foam container. The working frame moves downward to the flipping height, and the switching shaft is rotated by the reduction motor to turn the working frame from vertical to horizontal. The working frame continues to move downward to the lowering height. At this time, the elastic airbag is in the deflated state, and the foam container will automatically fall onto the conveyor belt. Thus, the foam container can be automatically unloaded and placed upward, which significantly simplifies the subsequent manual handling process. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1-4As shown, this automatic tilting and lifting fixture for foam container production includes a support 1. In practice, the support 1 is arranged below the molding die of the foam container molding equipment. The working frame 7 can move between the fixed mold and the movable mold of the molding die. The foam container formed in the movable mold can be horizontally pushed out, which is an existing technology, and then pushed into the clamping assembly. The two sides of the support 1 are connected to the fixed plate 13 via mounting blocks 14. An electric push rod 11 is mounted on the fixed plate 13. The push rod end of the electric push rod 11 is connected to the lifting plate 4. A switching shaft 6 is horizontally rotatably mounted between the lifting plates 4. The switching shaft 6 is connected to a reduction motor 5 that enables it to rotate. The reduction motor 5 enables the switching shaft 6 to rotate. The switching shaft 6 is connected to the working frame 7. Specifically, the switching shaft 6 is connected to the working frame 7 via a connecting block 19. The working frame 7... The device has several clamping components for holding foam containers, the number of which is consistent with the number of containers formed by the molding die in a single operation. The clamping components include an upper arc-shaped clamping plate 15 and a lower arc-shaped clamping plate 16 fixed on the working frame 7, with the upper arc-shaped clamping plate 15 and the lower arc-shaped clamping plate 16 arranged vertically in correspondence. An elastic airbag 18 is installed on the lower arc-shaped clamping plate 16, and the elastic airbag 18 is connected to an inflation / deflation module through a pipeline. The elastic airbag 18 is a commercially available product, and the elastic airbag 18 can be inflated or deflated using the existing inflation / deflation module. One end of the lower arc-shaped clamping plate 16 is also rotatably connected to an auxiliary guide plate 17, and the other end of the auxiliary guide plate 17 is connected to the elastic airbag 18. Under the action of the elastic airbag 18, the auxiliary guide plate 17 can swing back and forth, thereby clamping or releasing the foam container.

[0019] A guide sleeve 12 is installed on the fixed plate 13. A guide rod 3 is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 12. The upper end of the guide rod 3 is connected to the lifting plate 4, and the lower end of the guide rod 3 is connected to the connecting plate 10. With this structure, the lifting plate 4 can be lifted and lowered more stably.

[0020] The fixing plate 13 is also equipped with an upper limiting member 9 and a lower limiting member 8.

[0021] The support frame 1 has a conveyor belt 2, which is an existing product and can operate as needed.

[0022] In this invention, after the foam container is formed, it is pushed horizontally into the clamping assembly. At this time, the elastic airbag 18 is inflated and clamps the foam container. The working frame 7 moves downward to the flipping height. The switching shaft 6 is driven to rotate by the reduction motor 5, turning the working frame 7 from vertical to horizontal. The working frame 7 continues to move downward to the lowering height. At this time, the elastic airbag 18 is in the deflated state, and the foam container will automatically fall onto the conveyor belt 2. Thus, the foam container can be automatically unloaded and placed upward, which significantly simplifies the subsequent manual handling process.

[0023] All of the above components are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0024] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
