Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold replacement technology, and in particular to a pick-and-place device for injection molds. Background Technology
[0002] In automated injection mold production scenarios, mold changing carts are core auxiliary equipment for rapid mold replacement, and their safety and ease of operation are of paramount importance. The existing shielding bar structure design of some mold changing carts has significant defects: the shielding bar is separated from the main body of the equipment, and the operator needs to manually remove it and temporarily install it in the designated position. More importantly, the separate structure cannot form a stable mechanical connection, and the shielding bar may accidentally fall off due to vibration, collision and other factors during mold handling. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. The shielding rod and the main body of the equipment adopt a separate structure, providing a pick-and-place device for injection molds.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pick-and-place device for injection molds, comprising a main body, a mold baffle provided on the outer surface of the main body, a T-slot provided on the outer surface of the mold baffle, a supporting rotating plate provided on one side of the mold baffle, a blocking rod provided inside the supporting rotating plate, a limiting seat provided at the bottom of the blocking rod, a supporting block provided at the bottom of the limiting seat, a movable groove provided inside the supporting rotating plate, a supporting column fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove, a rotating shaft provided at the rear end of the supporting rotating plate, a rotating rod fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft, and a movable plate fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the support block is provided with a buffer groove, the bottom of the limiting seat is fixedly connected to a sliding rod, the bottom of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to a buffer spring, and the inner wall of the buffer groove is provided with a telescopic groove.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the buffer groove and the bottom of the limiting seat are engaged and connected, and the bottom of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the telescopic groove.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the blocking rod is provided with a moving groove, and the surface of the limiting seat is provided with a connecting groove. The inner wall of the connecting groove and the outer surface of the blocking rod are engaged and movably connected.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the supporting rotating plate is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate via a rotating rod.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the interior of the shielding rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the supporting rotating plate via a movable groove.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the support block is connected to the inner wall of the limiting seat via a sliding rod, one side of the support block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mold baffle, and the movable plate is sleeved on the inner wall of the T-slot.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the mold baffle is provided with a slot, and the inner wall of the slot is engaged with the outer surface of the baffle rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention, by setting a T-slot, facilitates the design of a movable structure that can be connected to the T-slot on the outer surface of the mold baffle. A supporting rotating plate supports the lateral translation and rotation of the blocking rod. A limiting seat prevents the blocking rod from moving to either side when it is horizontally placed on one side of the mold baffle, as it can be engaged in the inner wall of the limiting seat via a moving groove and a connecting groove. A supporting block supports the limiting seat, as the limiting seat is too small to support independently and is inconvenient to fix to the mold baffle surface. A movable groove facilitates the flexible rotation of the blocking rod. A longer movable groove allows the blocking rod to move until it is flush with the groove at the top of the blocking rod. Through these features, the originally independently placed blocking rod can be movably fixed to one side of the mold baffle and can provide blocking without detaching. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pick-and-place device for injection molds, including a main body 1, a mold baffle 2 on the outer surface of the main body 1, a slot on the outer surface of the mold baffle 2, the inner wall of the slot engaging with the outer surface of a blocking rod 5, a T-slot 3 on the outer surface of the mold baffle 2, a supporting rotating plate 4 on one side of the mold baffle 2, one side of the supporting rotating plate 4 being fixedly connected to one side of a moving plate 12 via a rotating rod 11, a blocking rod 5 inside the supporting rotating plate 4, the inside of the blocking rod 5 being movably connected to the inner wall of the supporting rotating plate 4 via a moving groove 13, and a limiting seat 6 at the bottom of the blocking rod 5. A support block 7 is provided at the bottom. The top of the support block 7 is connected to the inner wall of the limiting seat 6 via a sliding rod 15. One side of the support block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mold baffle 2. The interior of the support rotating plate 4 is provided with a movable groove 9. A support column 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 9. A rotating shaft is provided at the rear end of the support rotating plate 4. A rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft. A movable plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 11. The movable plate 12 is sleeved on the inner wall of the T-slot 3. A movable groove 13 is provided through the outer surface of the blocking rod 5. A connecting groove 14 is provided on the surface of the limiting seat 6. The inner wall of the connecting groove 14 and the outer surface of the blocking rod 5 are engaged and movably connected.
[0023] In this embodiment, by setting a T-slot 3, it is convenient to design a movable structure that can be set on the outer surface of the mold baffle 2 and connected to the T-slot 3. The T-slot 3 is designed to have a certain length but does not exceed the side of the mold baffle 2. By setting a support rotating plate 4, it is used to support the lateral translation and flipping of the blocking rod 5. By setting a limiting seat 6, when the blocking rod 5 is placed horizontally on one side of the mold baffle 2, it can be locked in the inner wall of the limiting seat 6 by the moving groove 13 and the connecting groove 14 to prevent the blocking rod 5 from moving to both sides. By setting a support block 7, it is used to support the limiting seat 6. This is because the limiting seat 6 is small and cannot be supported by itself and is not convenient to be connected to the mold baffle. The plate 2 is fixedly connected to the surface. By setting the movable groove 9, the blocking rod 5 can rotate flexibly. When the blocking rod 5 needs to block the mold on the mold changing car surface, the blocking rod 5 is disengaged from the limiting seat 6 and rotated to be perpendicular to the mold baffle 2. Then the position of the moving plate 12 is adjusted, and the blocking rod 5 is pulled upward in the movable groove 9 until it is stuck at the support column 10. The blocking rod 5 can be stuck in the slot opened at the top of the mold baffle 2. By setting the rotating rod 11 to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is set inside the tail end of the supporting rotating plate 4, the blocking rod 5 can rotate freely. The movable groove 9 is set to facilitate the movement of the blocking rod 5 to be flush with the groove at the top of the blocking rod 5.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the support block 7 is provided with a buffer groove 8, the bottom of the limiting seat 6 is fixedly connected with a sliding rod 15, the bottom of the sliding rod 15 is fixedly connected with a buffer spring 16, the inner wall of the buffer groove 8 is provided with a telescopic groove 17, the inner wall of the buffer groove 8 and the bottom of the limiting seat 6 are engaged and connected, and the bottom of the buffer spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the telescopic groove 17.
[0026] In this embodiment, since the blocking rod 5 will have a certain downward impact when it is placed in the limiting seat 6, a buffer structure is set up. Specifically, a buffer groove 8 is set up as a space for the limiting seat 6 to buffer downward. The buffer needs to be supported by a buffer spring 16. The buffer spring 16 is set inside the telescopic groove 17, and its top is connected to the sliding rod 15, thereby indirectly connecting to the limiting seat 6.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, when using the mold changing trolley, after the mold enters the sliding plate of the mold changing trolley, it is immediately pulled upward from any point on the blocking rod 5 to disengage from the limiting seat 6. Then, through the setting of the rotating shaft and the rotating rod 11, it is rotated until the supporting rotating plate 4 and the blocking rod 5 are both perpendicular to the mold baffle 2. Then, the position of the moving plate 12 in the T-slot 3 is adjusted, and the blocking rod 5 is pulled upward from the movable slot 9 inside the supporting rotating plate 4 until it is stuck at the supporting column 10. The blocking rod 5 can then be rotated under the support of the supporting column 10 and stuck in the slot opened at the top of the mold baffle 2. When the mold is removed, the above operation is reversed, so that the blocking rod 5 is stuck in the connecting slot 14 on the surface of the limiting seat 6 through the moving slot 13. The impact force during placement will press the limiting seat 6 downward. Under the support of the buffer spring 16, the sliding rod 15 floats up and down in the telescopic slot 17, and the limiting seat 6 floats up and down in the buffer groove 8.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
