[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 This embodiment provides an integrated device for sprue side picking and material auxiliary positioning, including a moving mechanism 1, a column 2, a sprue side picking end execution unit 3, a material auxiliary positioning unit 4, and a sprue receiving slide assembly 5.

[0020] Furthermore, the moving mechanism 1 includes a moving arm 11 and a connecting plate 12.

[0021] Furthermore, two relatively parallel vertical linear guide rails 13 and a drive rack 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the column 2. A vertical moving slider 15 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 12 near the column 2. The vertical moving slider 15 is slidably connected to the vertical linear guide rails 13.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vertical moving slider 15 is slidably connected to the vertical linear guide rail 13 to provide guidance and support.

[0023] Furthermore, a horizontally moving slider 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 12 away from the column 2, and a horizontal linear guide rail 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving arm 11 close to the connecting plate 12. The horizontally moving slider 16 is slidably connected to the horizontal linear guide rail 17.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the horizontal moving slider 16 is slidably connected to the horizontal linear guide rail 17 to provide guidance and support.

[0025] Furthermore, the moving mechanism 1 also includes a horizontal moving drive source 18 and a vertical moving drive source 19. The fixed end of the vertical moving drive source 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 12 away from the column 2, and the output shaft of the vertical moving drive source 19 is driven by a drive gear, which meshes with the drive rack 14.

[0026] Furthermore, when the vertical movement drive source 19 is working, the vertical movement drive source 19 drives the drive gear to rotate. Since the drive gear is meshed and driven by the drive rack 14, the drive gear moves in the vertical direction relative to the drive rack 14. Since the fixed end of the vertical movement drive source 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 12, the connecting plate 12 is driven to move in the vertical direction relative to the column 2. Since the connecting plate 12 is connected to the moving arm 11, the moving arm 11 is driven to move in the vertical direction.

[0027] Furthermore, two tensioning wheels 20 are rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate 12 away from the column 2, and a transmission belt 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the moving arm 11. One end of the transmission belt 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving arm 11, and the other end of the transmission belt 21 is fixedly connected to the other end of the moving arm 11. The two tensioning wheels 20 are wound around the transmission belt 21, and the two tensioning wheels 20 play a tensioning role.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixed end of the horizontal movement drive source 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 12 near the column 2. The connecting plate 12 has a mounting hole 12a in the area corresponding to the output shaft of the horizontal movement drive source 18. The output shaft of the horizontal movement drive source 18 is rotatably connected to the bearing installed in the mounting hole 12a. A drive wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the horizontal movement drive source 18. The transmission belt 21 covers the drive wheel 22, and the wall surface of the drive wheel 22 is in close contact with the transmission belt 21.

[0029] Furthermore, when the horizontal movement drive source 18 is working, the horizontal movement drive source 18 drives the drive wheel 22 to rotate. Since the transmission belt 21 covers the drive wheel 22 and is in close contact with the drive wheel 22, under the action of friction between the drive wheel 22 and the transmission belt 21, the drive wheel 22 rolls along the transmission belt 21. At the same time, since both ends of the transmission belt 21 are fixedly connected to the moving arm 11, the moving arm 11 is driven to move in the horizontal direction.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, preferably, both the horizontal movement drive source 18 and the vertical movement drive source 19 are selected as servo motors. Servo motors have the following advantages in this embodiment: 1. Precise picking and placing, improving product qualification rate: The sprue side-picking equipment needs to accurately grasp and place the sprue 8. The closed-loop control system of the servo motor, in conjunction with the encoder, can achieve micron-level positioning accuracy, ensuring that the robot grasps the sprue 8 accurately and without error, avoiding damage to the sprue 8 or failure to grasp due to positional deviation, effectively improving the production qualification rate; 2. Fast response, improving production efficiency: The servo motor has millisecond-level fast response characteristics, enabling rapid start-stop and steering of the mobile arm. During the side-picking process of the sprue 8, the operating cycle of the mobile arm can be significantly shortened, quickly completing the grasping, handling, and placement of the sprue 8, thereby improving overall production efficiency; 3. Convenient system integration, simplified design: The servo motor supports multiple industrial communication protocols, which can be easily integrated with the equipment's control system, reducing the complexity of hardware connection and debugging. At the same time, by flexibly setting motor parameters through software, it can quickly adapt to the requirements of different production processes for equipment actions.

[0031] Furthermore, the column 2 is driven to connect two moving mechanisms 1 arranged vertically. The end of the moving arm 11 in the upper moving mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet side-picking end execution unit 3, and the end of the moving arm 11 in the lower moving mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the material auxiliary positioning unit 4.

[0032] Furthermore, the sprue-side extraction end-effector 3 includes a rotary drive source 31, a sprue-side extraction base plate 32, a sprue-side extraction clamping plate 33, and a sprue-side extraction drive source 34. One side of the sprue-side extraction base plate 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary drive source 31, and the fixed end of the rotary drive source 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the moving arm 11. The output end of the sprue-side extraction drive source 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the sprue-side extraction clamping plate 33, and the fixed end of the sprue-side extraction drive source 34 is fixedly connected to the sprue-side extraction base plate 32.

[0033] Furthermore, the sprue side-mounted base plate 32 is L-shaped. When the sprue side-mounted clamping plate 33 is close to the side of the sprue side-mounted base plate 32, it can clamp the sprue 8. Specifically, when the output end of the sprue side-mounted drive source 34 extends, it drives the sprue side-mounted clamping plate 33 to move towards the side plate of the sprue side-mounted base plate 32 to form a clamp to hold the sprue 8. After holding the sprue 8, the position of the sprue side-mounted end-effector 3 is adjusted by the moving mechanism 1 so that it is above the sprue receiving slide 5. At this time, the output shaft of the rotary drive source 31 rotates, causing the sprue to rotate 360°, so that the clamped sprue is below the sprue side-mounted base plate 32. At this time, the output shaft of the sprue side-mounted drive source 34 retracts, and the sprue 8 falls into the sprue receiving slide 52 under the action of gravity, and slides into the sprue collection box through the sprue receiving slide 52.

[0034] Furthermore, the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 includes a clamping bracket 41 and a pressure block 42. The clamping bracket 41 is L-shaped, one end of which is fixedly connected to the end of the moving arm 11, and the pressure block 42 is fixedly connected to the other end of the clamping bracket 41.

[0035] Furthermore, the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 and the moving mechanism 1 fixedly connected to it bear the function of pressing and positioning the material. Specifically, during the terminal forming process, an auxiliary material 6 is provided inside the terminal. The auxiliary material 6 is transported in the form of a roll. At the same time, the auxiliary material 6 needs to be completely delivered to the bottom of the mold. In this embodiment, a positioning pin is provided inside the mold, and the auxiliary material 6 has a positioning hole. However, simple auxiliary material transportation cannot completely guarantee that the auxiliary material 6 is delivered to the bottom of the mold positioning pin. That is, the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 presses the auxiliary material 6 to ensure that the auxiliary material 6 can be accurately positioned without affecting the quality of the terminal product.

[0036] Furthermore, the moving arm 11 drives the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 to move to the upper end of the auxiliary material 6 and the mold, while the moving arm 11 drives the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 to move downward, pressing the auxiliary material 6 so that it is completely delivered to the bottom of the mold.

[0037] Furthermore, preferably, both the sprue side-loading drive source 34 and the rotary drive source 31 are pneumatic drive sources. In this embodiment, the pneumatic drive source has the following advantages: 1. Rapid response, meeting the needs of high-frequency operations: The pneumatic drive source uses compressed air as power. The compressibility and rapid transmission characteristics of gas enable it to start and stop instantly, with a response time as short as tens of milliseconds. In the high-frequency picking and placing actions of the sprue side-loading robot, it can significantly improve work efficiency and shorten the production cycle; 2. Simple structure, reducing equipment maintenance costs: The pneumatic system mainly consists of components such as air source, cylinder, and control valve. Compared with the complex electrical drive system, the structure is simpler, with fewer mechanical parts, and less prone to failure. Routine maintenance only requires periodic checks of pipeline sealing and filter replacement, making maintenance simple and cost-effective, and effectively reducing downtime; 3. Safe and explosion-proof, suitable for special operating environments: The pneumatic drive source does not generate electric sparks or electromagnetic interference during operation. In special environments such as high temperature, flammable and explosive environments, such as plastic injection molding workshops where flammable gases may be present, it has higher safety and can avoid safety hazards caused by electrical faults; 4. Cost-effective, reducing initial investment: The manufacturing cost of pneumatic components is relatively low, and the air source (compressed air) can be centrally supplied through an air compressor, eliminating the need for complex power supply systems and drive circuits. For small and medium-sized enterprises, adopting a pneumatic drive source can effectively reduce the initial purchase cost and equipment setup cost of the sprue side-loading robot.

[0038] Furthermore, the sprue receiving and sliding assembly 5 includes a sprue receiving bracket 51, a sprue receiving slide 52, and a sprue receiving slide drive source 53. The sprue receiving slide 52 includes a fixed slide 521 and a movable slide 522. The movable slide 522 is slidably connected to the fixed slide 521. One side of the fixed slide 521 is fixedly connected to the sprue receiving bracket 51. The fixed end of the sprue receiving slide drive source 53 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixed slide 521. The output shaft of the sprue receiving slide drive source 53 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movable slide 522. The sprue receiving bracket 51 is fixed to the upper end face of the workbench 7, which is fixedly connected to the column 2.

[0039] Furthermore, both the movable slide 522 and the fixed slide 521 have U-shaped cross-sections. The extension and retraction of the output shaft of the sprue receiving slide drive source 53 can adjust the overall length of the sprue receiving slide 52, thereby enabling the movable slide 522 to move relative to the fixed slide 521 and improving the versatility and compatibility of the sprue receiving slide assembly 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the water inlet receiving slide drive source 53 is also a pneumatic drive source.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the sprue side-picking end-effector and the material auxiliary positioning unit can be customized according to the style of the sprue and auxiliary materials, respectively, to match the sprue and auxiliary materials. When producing different terminals, it is only necessary to replace the sprue side-picking end-effector and the material auxiliary positioning unit to realize the side-picking of different sprues and the positioning of auxiliary materials, which can realize rapid production changeover and improve the versatility and compatibility of the equipment.

[0042] Working principle: The integrated device for side-picking of sprue and material auxiliary positioning provided by this utility model includes a moving mechanism 1, a column 2, a side-picking end execution unit 3, a material auxiliary positioning unit 4, and a sprue receiving slide assembly 5. The moving mechanism 1 includes a moving arm 11 and a connecting plate 12. Two relatively parallel vertical linear guide rails 13 and a drive rack 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the column 2. A vertical moving slider 15 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 12 near the column 2. The vertical moving slider 15 is slidably connected to the vertical linear guide rails 13. A horizontal moving slider 16 is fixedly connected on the side of the connecting plate 12 away from the column 2. A horizontal linear guide rail 17 is fixedly connected on the side of the moving arm 11 near the connecting plate 12. The horizontal moving slider 16 is slidably connected to the horizontal linear guide rail 17.

[0043] Specifically, the moving mechanism 1 enables the movement of the sprue side-picking end-effector 3 and the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 in the vertical plane, adjusting their positions. The sprue side-picking end-effector 3 and the material auxiliary positioning unit 4 enable the side-picking of the sprue 8 and the positioning of the auxiliary material 6. One device has two functions, which greatly saves space, and the automated operation improves production efficiency while also improving the safety of the staff.
