Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of foam board processing equipment, and in particular to an electric pusher mechanism for a molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A molding machine is a specialized piece of equipment used to produce foam plastic sheets, which are widely used in building insulation, packaging, decoration and other fields.

[0003] After the foam board is demolded, it needs to be moved from the molding machine to the next station. In the existing technology, the foam board may still have residual heat after cooling. Usually, the operator uses tools to push the foam board to the next station. Manual pushing is inefficient and affects the overall production efficiency of the foam board, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an electric pusher mechanism for a molding machine to improve the efficiency of pushing the foam board as a whole.

[0005] The electric push plate mechanism for a molding machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes a mounting frame, two sets of sprockets are rotatably connected to the mounting frame, a set of chains are sleeved on the sprockets, both sets of sprockets are engaged with the chains, the mounting frame is connected to a driving member for driving one set of sprockets to rotate, the mounting frame is slidably connected to a mounting plate, the two ends of the chain are respectively connected to the two ends opposite to the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is connected to a pushing member.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, after the foam board is demolded, the drive component drives the sprocket to rotate, and the sprocket drives the chain transmission, so that the mounting plate connected to the chain slides on the mounting frame, thereby driving the push component to move. The push component abuts against the foam board and pushes the foam board to the next station, avoiding the problem of low efficiency of manual pushing and improving the overall production efficiency of foam board.

[0007] Optionally, the mounting bracket is connected to a guide rod, the mounting plate is connected to a guide block, and the guide block is provided with a guide groove for sliding cooperation with the guide rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting plate slides, the sliding cooperation between the guide rod and the guide groove plays a guiding and limiting role in the sliding of the mounting plate, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate sliding, that is, improving the effect of the pusher pushing the foam board.

[0009] Optionally, the guide block is rotatably connected to the mounting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide block and the mounting plate are rotatably connected, reducing the friction between the guide block and the guide rod, making the movement of the mounting plate smoother and improving the effect of the mounting plate movement.

[0011] Optionally, at least two of the guide blocks are connected to the mounting plate, and at least one of the guide blocks is provided on each side of the guide rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide blocks located at different positions on the mounting plate restrict the movement of the mounting plate, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate movement.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting plate is connected to rollers, and the rollers abut against the mounting bracket.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rollers connected to the mounting plate abut against the mounting frame, which reduces the friction between the mounting plate and the mounting frame, making the movement of the mounting plate smoother and further improving the working efficiency of the push plate mechanism. The mounting frame supports the movement of the mounting plate through the rollers, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate's sliding.

[0015] Optionally, one set of the sprockets is rotatably connected to an adjusting rod, the mounting bracket is provided with a waist-shaped hole for cooperating with the adjusting rod, the extension direction of the waist-shaped hole is the same as the movement direction of the push plate, and the mounting bracket is connected with a limiting structure for restricting the movement of the adjusting rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the chain becomes loose after a period of use, the adjusting rod can be moved in the waist-shaped hole to adjust the position of the sprocket, thereby adjusting the chain tension. The limiting structure can fix the position of the adjusting rod, ensuring that the chain is always in a suitable tension state, thus improving the stability and reliability of the electric push plate mechanism of the molding machine.

[0017] Optionally, the limiting structure includes a threaded rod connected to the adjusting rod and a nut threadedly connected to the threaded rod, the threaded rod passing through the mounting bracket and the nut abutting against the mounting bracket.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the sprocket can be adjusted by the adjusting rod in conjunction with the waist-shaped hole. At the same time, the threaded rod and nut of the limiting structure can conveniently and effectively restrict the movement of the adjusting rod, thereby fixing the position of the sprocket and ensuring the tension of the chain, so as to make the electric push plate mechanism operate stably.

[0019] Optionally, the mounting bracket connects a limit switch and a controller. Both the limit switch and the drive unit are electrically connected to the controller. When the mounting plate approaches the limit switch, the limit switch outputs a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal and outputs a signal to the drive unit, causing the drive unit to stop operating.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit switch and controller are electrically connected to the drive component. When the mounting plate approaches the limit switch, the limit switch sends a signal, which the controller receives and controls the drive component to stop running. This allows for precise control of the moving position of the mounting plate, facilitating the pusher component to push the foam board.

[0021] Optionally, the pushing member includes a push plate and two vertical plates connected to the push plate, both of which are connected to the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is located between the two vertical plates.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the push plate and the mounting plate are connected by two vertical plates and the mounting plate is located between the two vertical plates, which can make the pusher stable on the mounting plate and push the foam board more smoothly.

[0023] Optionally, the vertical plate and the mounting plate are detachably connected by a locking device.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the vertical plate and the mounting plate is detachable, which facilitates the replacement, maintenance and adjustment of the push plate or the vertical plate.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. After the foam board is demolded, the drive component drives the sprocket to rotate. The sprocket drives the chain transmission, which causes the mounting plate connected to the chain to slide on the mounting frame. This, in turn, drives the push component to move. The push component abuts against the foam board and pushes the foam board to the next station, avoiding the problem of low efficiency caused by manual pushing and improving the overall production efficiency of foam boards.

[0027] 2. When the chain becomes loose after a period of use, the adjusting rod can be moved in the oblong hole to adjust the position of the sprocket, thereby adjusting the chain tension. The limiting structure can fix the position of the adjusting rod to ensure that the chain is always in a proper tension state, thus improving the stability and reliability of the electric push plate mechanism of the molding machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0038] This application discloses an electric push plate mechanism for a molding machine.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a mounting frame 1, on which two sets of sprockets 11 are rotatably connected. Each set of sprockets 11 contains two sprockets 11. A drive unit 12, which is a motor, is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. A controller (not shown in the attached diagram) is externally connected to the drive unit 12. The signal output terminal of the controller is connected to the signal input terminal of the drive unit 12. One set of sprockets 11 is fixedly connected to the output terminal of the drive unit 12. A set of chains 13 is mounted on the two sets of sprockets 11. There are two chains 13, with one chain 13 corresponding to two sprockets 11, and both sprockets 11 meshing with their respective chains 13.

[0040] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a set of sprockets 11 not connected to the drive component 12 is connected to an adjusting rod 2. Both sprockets 11 in this set are rotatably connected to the adjusting rod 2. The mounting bracket 1 has a waist-shaped hole 14 for engaging with the adjusting rod 2, and the outer surface of the adjusting rod 2 fits against the inner wall of the waist-shaped hole 14. The mounting bracket 1 is connected to two limiting structures 3 for restricting the movement of the adjusting rod 2. The limiting structure 3 includes a threaded rod 31 threaded to the adjusting rod 2 and a nut 32 threaded to the threaded rod 31. The connection between the threaded rod 31 and the adjusting rod 2 is located at the end of the adjusting rod 2. The axis of the adjusting rod 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod 31. The two threaded rods 31 are parallel to each other, and the corresponding two sprockets 11 are located between the two threaded rods 31. The threaded rod 31 passes through one side of the outer wall of the mounting bracket 1, and the nut 32 abuts against the outer surface of the mounting bracket 1.

[0041] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting plate 4 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1, and the moving direction of the mounting plate 4 is the same as the extending direction of the oblong hole 14. A limit switch 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the limit switch 5 is electrically connected to the controller. The limit switch 5 is located between the mounting plate 4 and the drive component 12. When the mounting plate 4 approaches the limit switch 5, the limit switch 5 outputs a signal to the controller, the controller receives the signal and outputs a signal to the drive component 12, and the drive component 12 stops running. The two ends of the chain 13 are fixedly connected to the two ends opposite to the mounting plate 4, respectively. The mounting plate 4 is connected to a pusher 6, which includes a push plate 61 and two vertical plates 62 that are fixedly connected to the same side of the push plate 61. Each vertical plate 62 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 4 by a locking element (not shown in the attached figure). The locking element is a bolt, and the mounting plate 4 is located between the two vertical plates 62.

[0042] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 15, and the mounting plate 4 is rotatably connected to at least two guide blocks 41. Taking this embodiment as an example, there are three guide blocks 41, with two guide blocks 41 located above the guide rod 15 and the other guide block 41 located below the guide rod 15. Each guide block 41 has a guide groove 411 for sliding cooperation with the guide rod 15, and the guide groove 411 is annular. A roller 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 4, and the roller 42 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1.

[0043] The implementation principle of the electric push plate mechanism of the molding machine in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0044] After the foam board is demolded, the controller controls the drive component 12 to open. The drive component 12 drives the corresponding sprocket 11 to rotate, and the sprocket 11 drives the chain 13 for transmission, thereby causing the mounting plate 4 connected to the chain 13 to slide on the mounting frame 1. This, in turn, drives the pusher 6 to move. The pusher 6 abuts against the foam board and pushes the foam board to the next station, avoiding the problem of low efficiency caused by manual pushing and improving the overall production efficiency of the foam board. After the foam board is pushed to the next station, the drive component 12 drives the sprocket 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the mounting plate 4 moves towards the limit switch 5. The limit switch 5 outputs a signal to the controller, which receives the signal and outputs a signal to the drive component 12, causing the drive component 12 to stop running, so that the pusher 6 moves to the initial position.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
