Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and in particular to an anti-clogging device for injection molding machines. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of high-precision injection molding of automotive parts (such as bumpers and precision inserts), engineering plastics (PA66+GF, PC, etc.) have high melt viscosity and cool quickly, which easily form solidified lumps at the discharge port. The residue from multi-material co-injection and the 24-hour continuous production mode further exacerbate the risk of blockage.
[0003] Traditional manual unclogging or hot-melt solutions have obvious drawbacks: manual operation can easily scratch precision mold cavities down to ±0.05mm, leading to component scrapping; vibration removal may cause insert displacement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-clogging device for injection molding machines, which solves the problem of damage to precision molds and production interruptions caused by the solidification and blockage of engineering plastic outlets in automotive injection molding.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-clogging device for an injection molding machine, including a connecting seat, a lifting component at the bottom of the connecting seat, a connecting frame at the output end of the lifting component, a gripper assembly horizontally arranged on one side of the connecting frame, a horizontal moving component between the gripper assembly and the connecting frame, and a storage component below the gripper assembly.
[0007] The lifting component can drive the connecting frame to move vertically, the horizontal moving component can drive the gripper component to move horizontally, the gripper component can clamp the material blocking the injection molding machine outlet, and the storage component can store the blocking material clamped by the gripper component.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model, the lifting assembly includes a column disposed on the lower surface of the connecting seat and a hydraulic cylinder disposed on the lower surface of the connecting seat.
[0009] The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the connecting seat, and the connecting frame slides on the column.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model, the gripper assembly includes a finger cylinder, a gripper disposed at the output end of the finger cylinder, and a recognition lens disposed on the upper surface of the finger cylinder.
[0011] The recognition lens is pointed at the clamping point of the two grippers.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model, the horizontal moving component includes a telescopic cylinder disposed at the bottom of the connecting frame, a mounting base disposed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder, and a guide component disposed between the mounting base and the connecting frame.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model, the guide assembly includes guide rods disposed on both sides of the connecting frame, a slider slidably disposed on the guide rods, and a side plate disposed between the slider and the mounting base.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model, the storage component includes a storage rack disposed below the mounting base and a storage tube disposed on the storage rack.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the anti-clogging device for injection molding machines of this utility model are as follows: the lifting component drives the gripper component to peel vertically, clearing the solidified blocks of high-viscosity engineering plastics such as PA66+GF within 12 seconds, thus eliminating blockage-related production stoppages; the horizontal moving component precisely positions the components to avoid manual contact with automotive molds at the ±0.05mm level, reducing the scratch scrap rate by 37%; and the waste is simultaneously recycled by the collection component, saving more than 150,000 yuan in raw material costs annually.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Reference Figure 1 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an anti-clogging device for an injection molding machine, including a connecting seat 1, a lifting component 2 at the bottom of the connecting seat 1, a connecting frame 3 at the output end of the lifting component 2, a gripper component 4 horizontally arranged on one side of the connecting frame 3, a horizontal moving component 5 between the gripper component 4 and the connecting frame 3, and a storage component 6 below the gripper component 4.
[0026] The lifting component 2 can drive the connecting frame 3 to move vertically, the horizontal moving component 5 can drive the gripper component 4 to move horizontally, the gripper component 4 can clamp the material blocked at the injection molding machine outlet, and the storage component 6 can store the blocked material clamped by the gripper component 4.
[0027] It should be noted that a connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the injection molding machine's outlet. A lifting component 2 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 1. The lifting component 2 can drive the gripper component 4 to move vertically. A connecting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting component 2. A gripper component 4 is provided on the side of the connecting frame 3 near the injection molding machine's outlet. The gripper component 4 can hold the material that has solidified at the injection molding machine's outlet. A horizontal moving component 5 is provided between the gripper component 4 and the connecting frame 3. The horizontal moving component 5 can drive the gripper component 4 to move towards the injection molding machine's outlet. A receiving component 6 is provided below the gripper component 4 to receive the solidified material that falls from the gripper component 4.
[0028] In use, the connecting seat 1 is fixedly installed on the side base of the injection molding machine's outlet, ensuring that the lifting direction of the lifting component 2 is vertically aligned with the outlet. When the material at the outlet condenses and becomes blocked, the horizontal moving component 5 is activated to drive the gripper component 4 to move horizontally towards the injection molding machine's outlet until the gripper 42 aligns with the blocked material. The gripper component 4 closes, clamping the condensed blocked material at the outlet. The lifting component 2 drives the connecting frame 3 and the gripper component 4 to move vertically downwards, using mechanical force to peel the blocked material from the outlet. After the gripper component 4 is released, the cleared blocked material naturally falls into the collection component 6 below, completing automatic recycling. When the operation is finished, the horizontal moving component 5 retracts the gripper component 4 to its initial position, and the lifting component 2 is raised to a safe height, awaiting the next operation command.
[0029] In summary, the lifting component 2 drives the gripper component 4 to vertically peel off, removing high-viscosity engineering plastic clumps such as PA66+GF within 12 seconds, thus eliminating blockage-related production stoppages; the horizontal moving component 5 precisely positions the molds to avoid manual contact with automotive molds at the ±0.05mm level, reducing the scrap rate by 37%; and the waste is simultaneously recycled by the collection component 6, saving more than 150,000 yuan in raw material costs annually.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the lifting assembly 2 includes a column 21 disposed on the lower surface of the connecting seat 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 22 disposed on the lower surface of the connecting seat 1;
[0031] The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 is connected to the connecting seat 1, and the connecting frame 3 slides on the column 21.
[0032] It should be noted that both the column 21 and the hydraulic cylinder 22 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat 1, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 is connected to the connecting seat 1. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 22 drives the connecting frame 3 to make vertical displacement. The connecting frame 3 slides on the column 21, which can play a guiding and limiting role, limiting the movement path of the connecting frame 3.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the gripper assembly 4 includes a finger cylinder 41, a gripper 42 disposed at the output end of the finger cylinder 41, and a recognition lens 43 disposed on the upper surface of the finger cylinder 41.
[0034] The identification lens 43 points to the clamping point of the two grippers 42.
[0035] It should be noted that two sets of grippers 42 are fixedly connected to the output end of the finger cylinder 41. The gripping point of the gripper 42 is horizontally aligned with the discharge port. Furthermore, a set of recognition lenses 43 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the finger cylinder 41. The recognition lenses 43 point to the gripping point of the gripper 42, which can further improve the gripping accuracy of the gripper 42 and avoid accidental contact with the discharge port.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the horizontal moving component 5 includes a telescopic cylinder 51 disposed at the bottom of the connecting frame 3, a mounting base 52 disposed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 51, and a guide component 53 disposed between the mounting base 52 and the connecting frame 3.
[0037] The guide assembly 53 includes guide rods 531 disposed on both sides of the connecting frame 3, sliders 532 slidably disposed on the guide rods 531, and side plates 533 disposed between the sliders 532 and the mounting base 52.
[0038] It should be noted that the telescopic cylinder 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 3, and a mounting base 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 51. Guide rods 531 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting frame 3, and sliders 532 are fixedly connected to the guide rods 531. A side plate 533 is fixedly connected between the sliders 532 and the mounting base 52.
[0039] The telescopic cylinder 51 extends and retracts, causing the mounting base 52 to move horizontally, which in turn moves the gripper 42 closer to the discharge port. The guide assembly 53 can support the weight of the mounting base 52, reducing the load pressure on the extension arm of the telescopic cylinder 51 and ensuring the accuracy of the displacement path.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the storage component 6 includes a storage rack 61 disposed below the mounting base 52 and a storage tube 62 disposed on the storage rack 61.
[0041] It should be noted that a storage rack 61 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 52, and a storage tube 62 is fixedly connected to the storage rack 61. The storage tube 62 is located directly below the gripper 42 and is used to collect the blockage material.
[0042] Importantly, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
