Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding product processing, and in particular to an automatic material sorting and tray-distribution device for injection molding. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding is a method of shaping industrial products. Products are typically made using rubber injection molding and plastic injection molding. It involves using plastic molds to create various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting materials.

[0003] After injection molding, injection molded parts need to be loaded onto trays using a material collection tray. The tray facilitates transport and provides surface protection for the molded parts, preventing damage during handling. Currently, manual loading of injection molded parts is the method used, which suffers from low efficiency, a high risk of omissions, and the potential for surface damage that affects product usability. Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic material sorting and tray-loading device after injection molding. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0005] An automatic material distribution and tray placement device after injection molding includes a housing. One side of the housing is provided with a conveyor belt for moving materials from the outside into the housing. Above the conveyor belt is a conveying mechanism for adsorbing and transporting the conveyed materials. The other side of the housing is provided with an empty tray stacking mechanism for lifting and moving stacked empty trays. One side of the empty tray stacking mechanism is provided with a tray positioning mechanism for positioning and clamping the empty trays. At the bottom of the tray positioning mechanism is a tray stacking mechanism for supporting and stacking the trays that are clamped and fixed therein.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a first linear sliding module disposed at the top of the housing and a linear slide table slidably disposed at the bottom of the first linear sliding module. The bottom of the linear slide table is vertically provided with connecting frames that move in the same direction as it, and the connecting frames are vertically provided with first cylinders on both sides. The bottom of the first cylinders drives a first suction cup for adsorbing the crispy plate. The bottom of the linear slide table is also vertically provided with a moving frame that moves synchronously with it, and the moving frame is vertically provided with lifting frames on both sides. The bottom of the lifting frames is provided with a second suction cup for adsorbing the material.

[0007] Preferably, the crispy plate positioning mechanism includes a crispy plate positioning frame that is horizontally mounted inside the housing, and a second cylinder is provided on each side of the crispy plate positioning frame. Each second cylinder drives a clamping plate that clamps the empty crispy plate. The clamping plate is horizontally mounted on the side of the crispy plate positioning frame and a film-applying mechanism for covering the crispy plate it clamps is also provided on one side of the crispy plate positioning mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the film-applying mechanism includes a first movable stage movably disposed on one side of the top of the crispy plate positioning frame, a film-pulling frame horizontally mounted on the other side of the top of the crispy plate positioning frame, and a film roll movably disposed on the top of the housing and wound with film material. A pneumatic gripper is provided on one side of the first movable stage, moving synchronously with it and clamping the film material. A second movable stage is movably disposed on one side of the film-pulling frame, and a film cutter is vertically disposed at the bottom of the second movable stage, moving synchronously with it and cutting the film material.

[0009] Preferably, the empty tray stacking mechanism includes a second sliding module vertically disposed on one side of the bottom of the housing, and a second lifting platform is horizontally disposed on one side of the second sliding module to move up and down and stack empty trays thereon, and the second sliding module is also provided with a second stepper motor to drive the second lifting platform to move up and down on its side.

[0010] Preferably, the crispy plate stacking mechanism includes a support guide column frame disposed at the bottom of the housing, and the support guide column frame is located at the bottom of the crispy plate positioning mechanism. A first lifting platform is horizontally disposed inside the support guide column frame to receive the crispy plate containing the material. The first lifting platform moves up and down inside the support guide column frame, and the first lifting platform is provided with a first stepper motor for moving up and down inside the support guide column frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The conveyor belt transports the material to be laminated from the outside to the inside of the housing. During the transportation process, the handling mechanism moves horizontally inside the housing and moves it above the empty tray stacking mechanism. The empty tray stacking mechanism lifts multiple empty trays stacked on top of each other upwards to within the lifting distance of the handling mechanism. The handling mechanism sequentially picks up and transports the empty trays one by one from the empty tray stacking mechanism to the tray positioning mechanism. The tray positioning mechanism can clamp and fix the empty trays. After clamping and fixing, the handling mechanism loosens its grip on the empty trays and moves them back onto the conveyor belt. It then sequentially picks up and transports the material conveyed on the surface of the conveyor belt to the tray positioning mechanism. In the empty crispy tray on the tray positioning mechanism, after the empty crispy tray is filled with material, the crispy tray stacking mechanism lifts upward and receives the crispy tray containing material. At the same time, the crispy tray positioning mechanism releases its clamping and fixing of the crispy tray, allowing the crispy tray stacking mechanism to move the received crispy tray downward and reset. This allows for continuous lifting and receiving of crispy trays held in the tray positioning mechanism after they are filled with material, until the top is full. Simultaneously, the conveying mechanism moves back above the conveyor belt to await the adsorption and transport of the next batch of material. This directly replaces manual sorting and placing of smooth shell material onto the crispy tray, thereby optimizing the overall material handling process and improving the processing efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the present invention, an automatic material distribution and tray placement device after injection molding includes a housing 1. A conveyor belt 2 for moving materials from the outside to the inside is provided on one side of the housing 1, and a conveying mechanism for adsorbing and transporting the conveyed materials is provided above the conveyor belt 2. An empty tray stacking mechanism for lifting and moving stacked empty trays is provided on the other side of the housing 1, and a crispy tray positioning mechanism for positioning and clamping the empty trays is provided on one side of the empty tray stacking mechanism, and a crispy tray stacking mechanism for supporting and stacking the crispy trays clamped and fixed thereon is provided at the bottom of the crispy tray positioning mechanism.

[0024] Therefore, the specific tasks are as follows:

[0025] Conveyor belt 2 transports the material to be laminated from the outside to the inside of housing 1. During the transport process, the handling mechanism moves horizontally inside housing 1 and above the empty tray stacking mechanism. The empty tray stacking mechanism lifts multiple empty trays stacked on top of each other upwards to within the lifting distance of the handling mechanism. The handling mechanism sequentially picks up and transports the empty trays one by one from the empty tray stacking mechanism to the tray positioning mechanism. The tray positioning mechanism can clamp and fix the empty trays. After clamping and fixing, the handling mechanism loosens its grip on the empty trays and moves them back onto conveyor belt 2. The material transported on the surface of conveyor belt 2 is then sequentially picked up and transported to the tray positioning mechanism. In the crispy tray, once the empty tray is filled with material, the crispy tray stacking mechanism lifts upwards to receive the tray containing material. Simultaneously, the crispy tray positioning mechanism releases its clamping and fixing of the tray, allowing the crispy tray stacking mechanism to move the received tray downwards to reset. This allows for continuous lifting and lowering of the trays held by the positioning mechanism until they are full, until the top is stacked. At the same time, the conveying mechanism moves back above the conveyor belt 2 to await the adsorption and transport of the next batch of material. This directly replaces manual sorting of smooth-surfaced materials onto the crispy trays, thus optimizing the overall material handling process and improving processing efficiency.

[0026] The conveying mechanism includes a first linear sliding module 3 disposed at the top of the housing 1 and a linear slide 4 slidably disposed at the bottom of the first linear sliding module 3. Connecting frames 7 are vertically mounted on both sides of the bottom of the linear slide 4, moving in the same direction. First cylinders 8 are vertically mounted on both sides of the connecting frames 7, and first suction cups 9, which adsorb the crispy tray, are driven at the bottom of the first cylinders 8. A movable frame 10, which moves synchronously with the linear slide 4, is also vertically mounted on the bottom of the linear slide 4. Lifting frames 11 are vertically mounted on both sides of the movable frame 10, and second suction cups 12, which adsorb the material, are mounted at the bottom of each lifting frame 11. Thus, through the sliding cooperation between the linear slide 4 and the first linear sliding module 3, the linear slide 4, along with the first and second suction cups 9 and 12, moves horizontally within the housing 1. When the material is moved above the empty tray stacking mechanism, the empty tray stacking mechanism lifts the empty trays stacked on it to the bottom of the linear slide 4. At this time, the first suction cup 9 adsorbs the four corners of the surface of the empty tray, and then, through the sliding of the linear slide 4 at the bottom of the first linear sliding module 3, the adsorbed empty tray is transported to the tray positioning mechanism. The tray positioning mechanism can clamp and fix the empty tray. After clamping and fixing, the first suction cup 9 loosens its adsorption on the empty tray and moves back to the conveyor belt 2. The second suction cup 12 is driven downward by the lifting frame 11 to adsorb the material conveyed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Then, through the sliding cooperation between the linear slide 4 and the first linear sliding module 3, the adsorbed material is sequentially adsorbed and transported to the empty tray on the tray positioning mechanism until the empty tray is full of material.

[0027] The crispy plate positioning mechanism includes a crispy plate positioning frame 5 horizontally mounted inside the housing 1. A second cylinder 13 is provided on each side of the crispy plate positioning frame 5. Each second cylinder 13 drives a clamping plate 14 for holding an empty crispy plate. The clamping plate 14 is horizontally mounted on the side of the crispy plate positioning frame 5. When an empty crispy plate is placed inside the crispy plate positioning frame 5, the second cylinder 13 drives the clamping plate 14 to close towards the middle of the crispy plate positioning frame 5, thereby clamping the empty crispy plate placed inside the crispy plate positioning frame 5 so that subsequent materials can be placed on the empty crispy plate. A film-applying mechanism for covering the clamped crispy plate is also provided on one side of the crispy plate positioning mechanism.

[0028] The film application mechanism includes a first movable stage 15 movably disposed on one side of the top of the crispy tray positioning frame 5, a film pulling frame 17 horizontally mounted on the other side of the top of the crispy tray positioning frame 5, and a film roll 6 movably disposed on the top of the housing 1 and wound with film material. A pneumatic gripper 16 is provided on one side of the first movable stage 15, moving synchronously with it and clamping the film material. A second movable stage 18 is movably disposed on one side of the film pulling frame 17, and a film cutter 19 is vertically disposed at the bottom of the second movable stage 18, moving synchronously with it and cutting the film material. This allows for the application of film material through various mechanisms. The film pulling frame 17 can pull the film material wound inside the film roll 6. When the film material is pulled to one side of the film pulling frame 17, the first moving stage 15, together with the pneumatic gripper 16, moves from one side of the crispy tray positioning frame 5 to the side of the film pulling frame 17. The pneumatic gripper 16 clamps the film material pulled out by the film pulling frame 17, and the first moving stage 15 resets at the same time, so that the film material covers the crispy tray. At the same time, the second moving stage 18, together with the film cutter 19, moves horizontally from the side of the film pulling frame 17, thereby cutting the film material and making the film material adhere to the material.

[0029] The empty tray stacking mechanism includes a second sliding module 23 vertically disposed on one side of the bottom of the housing 1, and a second lifting platform 25 is horizontally disposed on one side of the second sliding module 23, which moves up and down on its side and stacks empty trays. The second sliding module 23 is also provided with a second stepper motor 24 that drives the second lifting platform 25 to move up and down on its side.

[0030] The crispy tray stacking mechanism includes a support guide column frame 20 disposed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the support guide column frame 20 is located at the bottom of the crispy tray positioning mechanism. A first lifting platform 21 for receiving crispy trays containing materials is horizontally disposed inside the support guide column frame 20. The first lifting platform 21 moves up and down inside the support guide column frame 20, and the first lifting platform 21 is provided with a first stepper motor 22 for moving up and down inside the support guide column frame 20. The first stepper motor 22 and the first lifting platform 21 are connected and driven by a screw drive.

[0031] The material mentioned in this example is a smooth shell material in the injection molding industry, and the smooth shell material can be any one of Bluetooth headset charging case, cosmetic shell material, charger shell material and e-cigarette shell material.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
