Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material stacking and conveying technology, specifically a mold stacking tray conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing and sales of some agricultural products, molds are often used to press the materials into uniform shapes for subsequent packaging and sales. However, due to their elastic deformation recovery characteristics, the materials are prone to springback after pressing. A single pressing by the mold is insufficient to achieve complete shaping; the materials must remain under pressure for a certain period to complete the shaping process. Currently, a self-locking mold structure is commonly used to achieve this pressure-holding and shaping process.
[0003] However, in continuous production lines, the aforementioned pressure-holding process takes a considerable amount of time, severely restricting the production cycle. Furthermore, the molds used for pressing are generally bulky, and to save space, they are often stacked for shaping. This method easily leads to insufficient pressure holding time for molds at the top of the stack, while the pressure holding time for molds at the bottom is too long, resulting in inconsistent shaping effects. At the same time, stacked molds are inconvenient to handle when being removed or placed, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a mold stacking tray conveying device to solve the problem that the current mold stacking method is inconvenient to pick up and put away sequentially according to the molding time during the molding process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A mold stacking tray conveying device includes a first support frame, and a plurality of symmetrically arranged, upward-flipping support blocks are provided on the inner side of the first support frame. The symmetrical support blocks on both sides are combined to form a support platform for placing molds.
[0007] The first support frame is fixed with a mounting base, which is rotatably mounted to the support block. The mounting base is provided with a limiting groove to restrict the rotation of the support block. Below the first support frame is a lifting plate that can lift the mold upwards. The upward movement of the lifting plate causes the mold to be gradually stacked on the support block from bottom to top.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the end of the support block is provided with a slope, which facilitates the upward flipping and avoidance after contacting the edge of the mold.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, a sliding column is fixedly provided on the side of the support block, and the sliding column and the side of the mounting base are connected by springs to facilitate pulling the sliding column to reset the support block to a horizontal state.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the lifting plate is movably mounted on the second support frame, the second support frame is fixedly mounted with a drive source for driving the lifting plate to rise, and the second support frame is also slidably mounted with a guide column that is fixed to the lifting plate.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the second support frame is also equipped with a conveyor belt assembly for conveying the mold to the top of the lifting plate, and guide strips for guiding the mold are also provided on both sides of the second support frame, with the conveyor belt assembly located in the middle of the two guide strips.
[0012] A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the second support frame. The mounting plate is arranged perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor belt assembly. A limit switch is fixedly installed on the mounting plate to limit the conveying position of the mold.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, a guide roller is also rotatably installed in the middle of the guide strips on both sides, which is connected to the guide frame on the second support frame to support the bottom of the mold and make the mold transport smoothly.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The lifting plate can push the mold upwards from bottom to top. After the lifted mold comes into contact with the support block, it causes the support block to flip and move above the support block. When the lifting plate retracts downwards, the mold falls on top of the support block and is stacked. As the lifting plate continuously stacks the molds one after another, it can realize the automatic upward conveying and stacking effect of the molds. The mold at the top lasts the longest in the shaping time. Therefore, it is more convenient to take it out from the top when picking it up and putting it away, while also ensuring the shaping time of each mold.
[0016] 2. The set conveyor belt assembly and guide rollers can realize the automatic conveying of molds. Guide bars are set to guide the molds during the conveying process, and limit switches are set to limit the conveying position to ensure that the molds can be transported to the correct lifting position, so as to facilitate accurate upward lifting and stacking. This can improve the automation level of the equipment, reduce the amount of labor, and improve the overall work efficiency of the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is: a mold stacking tray conveying device, including a first support frame 1, with a plurality of symmetrically arranged, upward-flipping support blocks 2 arranged on the inner side of the first support frame 1, and the symmetrical support blocks 2 on both sides combined to form a support platform for placing molds; as shown Figure 1 As shown, each side has a pair of support blocks 2, meaning that each mold is stably placed under the support of the support blocks 2 at four positions at the same height. The first support frame 1 is fixed with a mounting base 3, which is rotatably arranged with the support block 2. The mounting base 3 is provided with a limiting groove 31 to restrict the rotation of the support block 2. The side of the support block 2 is fixed with a sliding column 22, which is connected to the side of the mounting base 3 by a spring 23. This allows the sliding column 22 to be pulled to reset the support block 2 to a horizontal state. That is, after the support block 2 is flipped upward, it can be reset to a horizontal state by the pull of the spring 23, which is convenient for placing the mold.
[0027] In order to enable the mold to be conveyed from bottom to top, in this embodiment, a lifting plate 4 is provided below the first support frame 1 to lift the mold upward. The lifting plate 4 is movably mounted on the second support frame 5, and a drive source for driving the lifting plate 4 to lift upward is fixedly mounted on the second support frame 5. In this embodiment, the drive source is a hydraulic cylinder. When the hydraulic cylinder drives the lifting plate 4 to lift the mold upward, the mold is gradually stacked on the support block 2 from bottom to top. Specifically, during the upward lifting of the lifting plate 4, the mold can first contact the edge of the support block 2. Then, during the upward movement, the rotation of the support block 2 allows the mold to pass over the support block 2, thereby rising to a position between the upper and lower support blocks 2. Under the pull of the spring 23, after the mold passes over the support block 2, the support block 2 returns to a horizontal arrangement. When the lifting plate 4 moves downward, it can support the mold under the action of the support block 2. Therefore, as the lifting plate 4 continuously lifts the mold upward, the molds can be stacked one after another on the support block 2 and move upward one after another, achieving the effect of stacking and conveying at the same time.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the end of the support block 2 is provided with a slope 21. The slope 21 is convenient to flip upward and avoid contact with the edge of the mold, so that the mold can pass over the support block 2 more easily when it moves upward, thereby reducing the interference of the corners of the support block 2 on the upward movement of the mold.
[0029] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in a preferred embodiment, the second support frame 5 is also slidably provided with a guide column 41 that is fixed to the lifting plate 4. The guide column 41 is used to guide the up and down movement of the lifting plate 4 and keep it vertical during the up and down movement, so that the mold raised by the lifting plate 4 can be smoothly sent onto the support block 2.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the second support frame 5 is also provided with a conveyor belt assembly 6 for conveying the molds to the upper part of the lifting plate 4. The conveyor belt assembly 6 is mainly used to convey the molds to be stacked to the position directly below the first support frame 1 in preparation for lifting and stacking. The second support frame 5 is also provided with guide strips 7 on both sides to guide the molds. The feeding end of the guide strip 7 is provided with an outward inclined guide section, mainly to facilitate guiding the molds to be conveyed in an accurate arrangement state. The conveyor belt assembly 6 is located in the middle of the two guide strips 7. Two conveyor belt assemblies 6 are symmetrically arranged and driven by the same drive motor to ensure the synchronous conveying of the two conveyor belt assemblies 6 and maintain the accurate arrangement state of the molds.
[0031] like Figure 6As shown, a mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the second support frame 5. The mounting plate 8 is arranged perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor belt assembly 6. A limit switch 9 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 8 to limit the conveying position of the mold. That is, when the side position of the mold is pressed against the limit switch 9 during the conveying process, the conveyor belt assembly 6 is triggered to stop conveying, which means that the mold has reached the predetermined conveying position and can be lifted upward.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a guide roller 10 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the guide strips 7 on both sides, which is connected to the guide frame 5 to support the bottom of the mold and allow the mold to be transported smoothly.
