Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying technology, specifically to a conveying device for injection molded finished product models. Background Technology
[0002] In the injection molding industry, injection molding workshops typically employ multiple injection molding machines arranged side-by-side to perform injection molding operations simultaneously, achieving high-efficiency production. After the injection molding machine completes the molding of the model part, a robotic arm moves the molded model part to a conveyor line for subsequent processing steps, such as part disassembly, quality inspection, coloring, and packaging. To achieve assembly line operation, the conveyor line is usually designed with a main trunk and multiple branch trunks. The main trunk is responsible for the centralized transport of model parts, while the branch trunks guide the parts to different subsequent processing steps. Existing conveyor line connections between the main trunk and branch trunks typically involve setting up a feeding mechanism on the main conveyor line, which pushes the model part from the main trunk into the corresponding branch trunk.
[0003] However, with the rapid changes in market demand for toys, products are highly time-sensitive and diverse, requiring frequent adjustments to the processing steps of injection molding production lines to adapt to the production requirements of different products. This leads to changes in the position and number of conveyor branch lines, necessitating that the unloading equipment on the main conveyor line can be flexibly repositioned to match the branch layout. In existing technologies, the unloading equipment on the main conveyor line is usually fixedly installed. When the branch position changes, the unloading equipment needs to be disassembled, repositioned, and reinstalled. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also limits the flexibility and adaptability of the production line, making it inflexible in dealing with diverse production needs and failing to meet the high-efficiency, rapid adjustment requirements of modern injection molding workshops. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a conveying device for injection molded finished models. In the prior art, the unloading equipment on the main conveyor line is typically fixed, requiring disassembly, repositioning, and reinstallation when the branch line position changes. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also limits the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A conveying device for injection molded finished product molds, comprising:
[0006] frame;
[0007] A conveying mechanism is mounted on a frame and is used to transport injection-molded finished molds. The conveying mechanism includes a first wall panel and a second wall panel, which are respectively fixed to both sides of the frame.
[0008] A sliding mechanism, comprising a first sliding part and a second sliding part, wherein the first sliding part and the second sliding part are respectively disposed on the top of a first wall panel and the top of a second wall panel, wherein the sliding end of the first sliding part slides along the top edge line of the first wall panel, and the sliding end of the second sliding part slides along the top edge line of the second wall panel;
[0009] The feeding mechanism includes a plurality of first-direction feeding sections and a plurality of second-direction feeding sections opposite to the feeding direction of the first-direction feeding sections. Each first-direction feeding section is respectively disposed on the sliding end of a first sliding section, and each second-direction feeding section is respectively disposed on the sliding end of a second sliding section. Each first-direction feeding section is used to feed the injection molded finished model along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1) By setting a first sliding part and a second sliding part on the top of the first wall plate and the second wall plate of the conveying mechanism respectively, the first direction feeding part can slide along the top edge of the first wall plate through the first sliding part, and the second direction feeding part can slide along the top edge of the second wall plate through the second sliding part. This allows the feeding parts to adjust their feeding positions in real time according to the changes in the support position, without the need for disassembly or reinstallation. This significantly reduces adjustment time and labor costs, and effectively meets the production line adjustment needs brought about by the diversity and timeliness of toy products.
[0012] 2) In addition, due to the function of setting up a first direction feeding section and a second direction feeding section on both sides of the conveying mechanism, the main conveyor line can simultaneously feed materials to the branches on both sides. Compared with the traditional single-sided feeding method, it can more efficiently divert model parts to different subsequent processes, significantly improve the diversion capacity and production efficiency of the conveyor line, and is particularly suitable for high-efficiency injection molding production lines with multiple parallel processes.
[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0014] Furthermore, the first sliding part includes a first guide rail and a plurality of first sliders. The first guide rail is fixed to the top of the first wall panel, and the plurality of first sliders slide outside the first guide rail.
[0015] Furthermore, the second sliding part includes a second guide rail and a plurality of second sliders. The second guide rail is fixed to the top of the second wall panel, and the plurality of second sliders slide outside the second guide rail.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the first sliding part, through the cooperation of the first guide rail and multiple first sliders, and the second sliding part, through the cooperation of the second guide rail and multiple second sliders, ensures that the sliding process of the material feeding part on the top edge of the first wall panel and the second wall panel is smooth and accurate, so that the material feeding position can be adjusted in real time according to the change of the support position.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the first direction feeding parts includes a first cylinder, a first push plate, and a first photoelectric sensor. The first cylinder is fixed to the top of each first slider, the first push plate is fixed to the drive end of the first cylinder, and the first photoelectric sensor is fixed to the top of the first slider.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, in the first direction unloading section, the first photoelectric sensor is fixed on the top of the first slider to monitor the position of the model part on the conveyor belt in real time. When the first photoelectric sensor detects that the part has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal. After receiving the control signal, the first cylinder drives the first push plate to move rapidly along the first direction (i.e., along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism) to push the model part from the conveyor belt to the unloading area or the next process.
[0019] Furthermore, each of the second-direction feeding sections includes a second cylinder, a second push plate, and a second photoelectric sensor. The second cylinder is fixed to the top of each second slider, the second push plate is fixed to the drive end of the second cylinder, and the second photoelectric sensor is fixed to the top of the second slider.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, in the second direction unloading section, the second photoelectric sensor is fixed on the top of the second slider to monitor the position of the model parts on the conveyor belt in real time. When the second photoelectric sensor detects that the part has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal. After receiving the control signal, the second cylinder drives the second push plate to move quickly along the second direction (i.e., the direction opposite to the first direction) to push the model parts from the conveyor belt to the unloading area or the next process.
[0021] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism also includes a drive motor, a conveyor belt, a first idler roller, a second idler roller, a third idler roller, a fourth idler roller, a fifth idler roller, and a pulley assembly. The first idler roller and the second idler roller are respectively rotatably connected to both sides between the first wall panel and the second wall panel via a rotating shaft.
[0022] Furthermore, the third and second idlers are both located below the first and second idlers, and the third and fourth idlers are rotatably connected to the frame via rotating shafts. The fifth idler is located below the third and fourth idlers, and one end of the fifth idler is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating shaft. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth idlers. The drive motor is fixed to the frame, and the pulley assembly is located between the drive end of the drive motor and the fifth idler.
[0023] Furthermore, the pulley assembly includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a conveyor belt. The first pulley is sleeved on one end of the fifth idler roller, the second pulley is sleeved on the drive end of the drive motor, and the conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the first pulley and the second pulley.
[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the drive end of the drive motor outputs power through rotation, which drives the second pulley to rotate. The second pulley transmits power to the first pulley through the conveyor belt. Since the first pulley is fixedly sleeved on one end of the fifth idler roller, the rotation of the first pulley directly drives the fifth idler roller to rotate. As the active roller, the rotation of the fifth idler roller, through friction with the conveyor belt, pulls the conveyor belt to start running. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the first idler roller, the second idler roller, the third idler roller, the fourth idler roller, and the fifth idler roller. Relying on the support and guidance of the idler rollers, a closed loop path is formed, thereby completing the transportation of the injection molded finished model. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0031] In the injection molding industry, injection molding workshops typically employ multiple injection molding machines arranged side-by-side to perform injection molding operations simultaneously, achieving high-efficiency production. After the injection molding machine completes the molding of the model part, a robotic arm moves the molded model part to a conveyor line for subsequent processing steps, such as part disassembly, quality inspection, coloring, and packaging. To achieve assembly line operation, the conveyor line is usually designed with a main trunk and multiple branch trunks. The main trunk is responsible for the centralized transport of model parts, while the branch trunks guide the parts to different subsequent processing steps. Existing conveyor line connections between the main trunk and branch trunks typically involve setting up a feeding mechanism on the main conveyor line, which pushes the model part from the main trunk into the corresponding branch trunk.
[0032] However, with the rapid changes in the toy market demand, products are highly time-sensitive and diverse, requiring frequent adjustments to the processing steps of injection molding production lines to adapt to the production requirements of different products. This leads to changes in the position and number of conveyor branch lines, necessitating that the unloading equipment on the main conveyor line can flexibly adjust its position to match the branch layout. In existing technologies, the unloading equipment on the main conveyor line is usually fixedly installed. When the branch position changes, the unloading equipment needs to be disassembled, repositioned, and reinstalled. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also limits the flexibility and adaptability of the production line, making it inflexible in dealing with diverse production needs and failing to meet the high-efficiency and rapid adjustment requirements of modern injection molding workshops. Therefore, this invention proposes a conveyor device for injection-molded finished models to solve the above problems.
[0033] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a molded product model conveying device includes:
[0035] Rack 10;
[0036] A conveying mechanism 60 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to convey the injection molded finished mold. The conveying mechanism 60 includes a first wall plate 601 and a second wall plate 602, which are respectively fixed on both sides of the frame 10.
[0037] The sliding mechanism includes a first sliding part 20 and a second sliding part 30, which are respectively disposed on the top of the first wall panel 601 and the top of the second wall panel 602. The sliding end of the first sliding part 20 slides along the top edge line of the first wall panel 601, and the sliding end of the second sliding part 30 slides along the top edge line of the second wall panel 602.
[0038] The unloading mechanism includes multiple first-direction unloading sections 40 and multiple second-direction unloading sections 50 with unloading directions opposite to those of the first-direction unloading sections 40. Each first-direction unloading section 40 is respectively disposed on the sliding end of the first sliding section 20, and each second-direction unloading section 50 is respectively disposed on the sliding end of the second sliding section 30. Each first-direction unloading section 40 is used to unload the injection molded finished model along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism.
[0039] By providing a first sliding part 20 and a second sliding part 30 on the top of the first wall plate 601 and the second wall plate 602 of the conveying mechanism 60, the first direction feeding part 40 can slide along the top edge of the first wall plate 601 through the first sliding part 20, and the second direction feeding part 50 can slide along the top edge of the second wall plate 602 through the second sliding part 30. This allows the feeding parts to adjust their feeding positions in real time according to the changes in the support position, without the need for disassembly or reinstallation. This significantly reduces adjustment time and labor costs, and effectively addresses the production line adjustment needs brought about by the diversity and timeliness of toy products.
[0040] Furthermore, due to the function of setting the first direction unloading section 40 and the second direction unloading section 50 on both sides of the conveyor mechanism 60, the main conveyor line can unload materials to the branches on both sides at the same time. Compared with the traditional single-sided unloading method, it can more efficiently divert the model parts to different subsequent processes, significantly improve the diversion capacity and production efficiency of the conveyor line, and is particularly suitable for high-efficiency injection molding production lines with multiple parallel processes.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first sliding part 20 includes a first guide rail 201 and a plurality of first sliders 202. The first guide rail 201 is fixed to the top of the first wall panel 601, and the plurality of first sliders 202 slide outside the first guide rail 201. The second sliding part 30 includes a second guide rail 301 and a plurality of second sliders 302. The second guide rail 301 is fixed to the top of the second wall panel 602, and the plurality of second sliders 302 slide outside the second guide rail 301.
[0042] The first sliding part 20, through the cooperation of the first guide rail 201 and multiple first sliders 202, and the second sliding part 30, through the cooperation of the second guide rail 301 and multiple second sliders 302, ensure that the sliding process of the material feeding part on the top edge of the first wall plate 601 and the second wall plate 602 is smooth and precise, so that the material feeding position can be adjusted in real time according to the change of the support position.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each first direction feeding part 40 includes a first cylinder 401, a first push plate 402, and a first photoelectric sensor 403. The first cylinder 401 is fixed on the top of each first slider 202, the first push plate 402 is fixed on the driving end of the first cylinder 401, and the first photoelectric sensor 403 is fixed on the top of the first slider 202.
[0044] In the first direction unloading section 40, the first photoelectric sensor 403 is fixed on the top of the first slider 202 to monitor the position of the model parts on the conveyor belt 604 in real time. When the first photoelectric sensor 403 (using a GL10G-N1251 mirror-reflective photoelectric sensor) detects that the part has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal. After receiving the control signal, the first cylinder 401 drives the first push plate 402 to move rapidly along the first direction (i.e., along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism) to push the model parts from the conveyor belt 604 to the unloading area or the next process.
[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each second direction feeding part 50 includes a second cylinder 501, a second push plate 502, and a second photoelectric sensor 503. The second cylinder 501 is fixed on the top of each second slider 302, the second push plate 502 is fixed on the drive end of the second cylinder 501, and the second photoelectric sensor 503 is fixed on the top of the second slider 302.
[0046] In the second direction unloading section 50, the second photoelectric sensor 503 is fixed on the top of the second slider 302 to monitor the position of the model parts on the conveyor belt 604 in real time. When the second photoelectric sensor 503 (using a GL10G-N1251 mirror-reflective photoelectric sensor) detects that the part has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal. After receiving the control signal, the second cylinder 501 drives the second push plate 502 to move rapidly along the second direction (i.e., the opposite direction to the first direction) to push the model parts from the conveyor belt 604 to the unloading area or the next process.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying mechanism 60 also includes a drive motor 603, a conveyor belt 604, a first idler 605, a second idler 606, a third idler 607, a fourth idler 608, a fifth idler 609, and a pulley assembly. The first idler 605 and the second idler 606 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides between the first wall panel 601 and the second wall panel 602 via rotating shafts. The third idler 607 and the second idler 606 are both located below the first idler 605 and the second idler 606. The third idler 607 and the fourth idler 608 are respectively rotatably connected to the frame 10 via rotating shafts. The fifth idler 609 is located below the third idler 607 and the fourth idler 608. One end of 09 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 via a rotating shaft. The conveyor belt 604 is sleeved on the outside of the first idler 605, the second idler 606, the third idler 607, the fourth idler 608, and the fifth idler 609. The drive motor 603 is fixed on the frame 10. The pulley assembly is located between the drive end of the drive motor 603 and the fifth idler 609. The pulley assembly includes a first pulley 610, a second pulley 611, and a conveyor belt 613. The first pulley 610 is sleeved on one end of the fifth idler 609, the second pulley 611 is sleeved on the drive end of the drive motor 603, and the conveyor belt 613 is sleeved on the outside of the first pulley 610 and the second pulley 611.
[0048] The drive end of the drive motor 603 outputs power through rotation, driving the second pulley 611 to rotate. The second pulley 611 transmits power to the first pulley 610 through the conveyor belt 613. Since the first pulley 610 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the fifth idler roller 609, the rotation of the first pulley 610 directly drives the fifth idler roller 609 to rotate. The fifth idler roller 609, as the active roller, rotates and, through friction with the conveyor belt 604, pulls the conveyor belt 604 to start running. The conveyor belt 604 is sleeved on the outside of the first idler roller 605, the second idler roller 606, the third idler roller 607, the fourth idler roller 608, and the fifth idler roller 609. Relying on the support and guidance of the idler rollers, a closed loop path is formed, thereby completing the conveying of the injection molded finished model.
[0049] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0050] The first cylinder 401 slides on the first guide rail 201 via the first slider 202, and the second cylinder 501 slides on the second guide rail 301 via the second slider 302, ensuring that the material feeding part slides smoothly and accurately along the top edge of the first wall plate 601 and the second wall plate 602, so that the material feeding position can be adjusted in real time according to the change of the support position.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
