Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nuts for injection molds, and more particularly to an injection mold nut feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] Nuts for injection molds typically refer to copper nuts embedded in the mold, mainly used in the injection molding process of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics.

[0003] In existing injection molding operations of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics, nuts are usually required for injection molding. However, the current method of feeding nuts usually involves workers manually feeding and then feeding the nuts, which is a long-term, repetitive operation that increases the labor intensity of workers and cannot guarantee the continuity of feeding. Therefore, a nut feeding system for injection molds is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the continuity and convenience of existing nut feeding processes, this application provides a nut feeding system for injection molds.

[0005] The technical solution of the injection mold nut feeding system provided in this application is as follows: An injection mold nut feeding system includes a vibratory feeder, a mounting frame and a mounting plate connected to external equipment. The vibratory feeder is integrally provided with a feeding guide rail for moving and feeding nuts for injection molds, and the mounting frame is provided with a feeding mechanism.

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes two first fixed columns and a first cylinder fixedly mounted on the mounting frame. The top end of the two first fixed columns is fixedly mounted with the same top plate. The top of the top plate is fixedly mounted with a guide plate. The guide plate has two guide grooves for moving and feeding nuts. The top of the top plate is fixedly mounted with a feeding fixture. The feeding fixture has two symmetrical feeding slots for feeding nuts into position. The output end of the first cylinder is fixedly mounted with a lifting plate. The top of the lifting plate is symmetrically fixedly mounted with two lifting columns. Both lifting columns slide through the top plate and are located in the corresponding feeding slots.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the start of the first cylinder, the output end of the first cylinder will drive the lifting plate and the two lifting columns to move upward. The two lifting columns will move upward and push the nut located in the feeding trough to move upward as well, thereby pushing it into the fixture of the external mechanical gripper.

[0008] Preferably, a rectangular groove is provided at the bottom of the top plate, and the lifting plate is slidably installed in the rectangular groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting plate can be limited to move by setting a rectangular groove.

[0010] Preferably, a vibrator is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the vibrator is located below the feeding guide rail.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a vibrator can be set up to work in conjunction with the feeding guide rail, thereby enabling vibratory feeding.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding guide rail is provided in the form of two guide rails.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, two feed rails are set up, which allows for the simultaneous feeding of two nuts.

[0014] Preferably, a placement plate is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, and a plurality of feeding cylinders for placing nuts are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the placement plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a placement plate, the installation can be assisted.

[0016] Preferably, corresponding second fixing columns are fixedly installed around the bottom of the placement plate, and the bottom end of the multiple second fixing columns is fixedly installed with the same base plate. A second cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, and a synchronization plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder. Multiple feeding columns are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the synchronization plate. The multiple feeding columns slide through the placement plate and are located in the corresponding feeding cylinders. There are eight feeding cylinders and eight feeding columns.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the output end of the second cylinder will push the synchronization plate and multiple feeding columns upward by controlling the start of the second cylinder, and send the nuts in multiple feeding cylinders into the mold, thus achieving automatic and regular feeding.

[0018] Preferably, the mounting plate is symmetrically screwed with two connecting bolts for mounting with external equipment.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can be connected and installed with external equipment using connecting bolts.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. This application employs a feeding fixture and other components. By activating the first cylinder, the output of the first cylinder drives the lifting plate and two lifting columns to move upward. The upward movement of the two lifting columns pushes the nuts located in the feeding groove upward as well, thereby pushing them into the fixture of the external mechanical gripper. The mechanical gripper then places the nuts into multiple feeding cylinders. Furthermore, by controlling the activation of the second cylinder, the output of the second cylinder pushes the synchronization plate and multiple feeding columns upward, sending the nuts in the multiple feeding cylinders into the mold. Therefore, automatic and regular feeding can be achieved.

[0022] 2. This application uses a feeding guide rail and other components to feed the nuts by vibrating the vibrating plate of the tooling. The nuts inside the vibrating plate are then sent to the tooling. The tooling can then arrange the nuts in the same direction. The nuts will then move sequentially through the guide groove to the feeding slot of the corresponding feeding fixture via the feeding guide rail, thus achieving the function of sequential feeding. Therefore, no manual operation is required for feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a nut delivery system for injection molds.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 A nut feeding system for injection molds includes a vibratory feeder 1, a mounting frame 3, and a mounting plate 7 for connecting to external equipment. The vibratory feeder 1 is integrally provided with a feeding guide rail 2 for moving and feeding nuts for injection molds, and a feeding mechanism set on the mounting frame 3.

[0032] The feeding mechanism includes two first fixed columns 8 and a first cylinder 5 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 3. The top end of the two first fixed columns 8 is fixedly installed with the same top plate 9. The top of the top plate 9 is fixedly installed with a guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 has two guide grooves 11 for moving and feeding nuts. The top of the top plate 9 is fixedly installed with a feeding fixture 12. The feeding fixture 12 has two feeding grooves 13 symmetrically opened for feeding nuts into position.

[0033] Among them, a lifting plate 15 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first cylinder 5. Two lifting columns 16 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 15. Both lifting columns 16 slide through the top plate 9 and are located in the corresponding feeding trough 13. A rectangular groove 14 is opened at the bottom of the top plate 9. The lifting plate 15 is slidably installed in the rectangular groove 14. A vibrator 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 3. The vibrator 4 is located below the feeding guide rail 2. The feeding guide rail 2 is set with two guide rails.

[0034] In use, the vibratory feeder 1 of the fixture is used to vibrate and feed the nuts, which are located inside the vibratory feeder 1 and sent to the fixture. The fixture can then arrange the nuts in the same direction. At this time, the nuts will move into the feeding slot 13 of the corresponding feeding fixture 12 through the guide groove 11 via the feeding guide rail 2. At this time, the first cylinder 5 can be started. The output end of the first cylinder 5 will drive the lifting plate 15 and the two lifting columns 16 to move upward. The two lifting columns 16 move upward and push the nuts located in the feeding slot 13 to move upward as well.

[0035] Reference Figure 3-5 The feeding mechanism also includes a placement plate 6 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 7. Multiple feeding cylinders 21 for placing nuts are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the placement plate 6. Corresponding second fixing columns 17 are fixedly installed around the bottom of the placement plate 6. The bottom end of the multiple second fixing columns 17 is fixedly installed with the same base plate 18. A second cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 18. A synchronization plate 20 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder 19. Multiple feeding columns 22 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the synchronization plate 20. The multiple feeding columns 22 slide through the placement plate 6 and are located in the corresponding feeding cylinders 21. There are eight feeding cylinders 21 and eight feeding columns 22. Two connecting bolts 23 for installation with external equipment are symmetrically screwed onto the mounting plate 7.

[0036] In use, a mechanical gripper can place nuts into multiple feeding cylinders 21. Then, by controlling the activation of a second cylinder 19, the output of the second cylinder 19 pushes the synchronization plate 20 and multiple feeding columns 22 upward, delivering the nuts from the multiple feeding cylinders 21 into the mold. Thus, automatic and regular feeding can be achieved.

[0037] The tooling used for adjusting nuts and arranged in the vibratory feeder 1 in this application is prior art in the field. Therefore, the specific structure and installation process are not described in detail. Furthermore, the vibratory feeder 1 and the vibrator 4 are also prior art products in the field. Therefore, the specific structure and installation process are not described in detail. The placement plate 6 in this application is set in a position that is compatible with the injection mold in the field, so it is convenient to carry out feeding operations.

[0038] The implementation principle of the injection mold nut feeding system in this application embodiment is as follows: In use, the vibratory feeder 1 of the tooling is used to vibrate and feed the nuts inside the vibratory feeder 1 to the tooling part. Then, the tooling can arrange the nuts in the same direction. At this time, the nuts will move into the feeding groove 13 of the corresponding feeding fixture 12 through the guide groove 11 via the feeding guide rail 2. At this time, the first cylinder 5 can be started. The output end of the first cylinder 5 will drive the lifting plate 15 and the two lifting columns 16 to move upward. The two lifting columns 16 will move upward and push the nuts in the feeding groove 13 to move upward as well, and then push them into the fixture of the external mechanical gripper. The mechanical gripper can then place the nuts into multiple feeding cylinders 21. Then, the second cylinder 19 is started. The output end of the second cylinder 19 will push the synchronous plate 20 and multiple feeding columns 22 to move upward, and send the nuts in the multiple feeding cylinders 21 into the mold. Therefore, automatic and regular feeding can be achieved.

[0039] 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.
