Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to injection molding feeding equipment, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for injection molded part nuts. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molded parts are widely used due to their high production efficiency and ability to create complex shapes. Connections between injection molded parts and adjacent components typically employ snap-fit ​​connections and screw connections. For ease of installation and stability, nuts are often incorporated into the injection molded part, with screws then connected to the built-in nut. When injection molded parts containing nuts are being molded, a robotic arm typically places the nuts into the injection mold for integrated injection molding. Existing nut feeding devices usually place nuts into the injection mold one by one, resulting in low nut feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for injection molded nuts.

The cutting assembly includes a cutting frame set on the machine base, a cutting cylinder set on the cutting frame, and a cutting block set on the cylinder rod of the cutting cylinder. The cutting block slides horizontally along the cutting frame, and the cutting block is provided with a receiving notch for accommodating nuts. The nut placement position on the secondary positioning assembly corresponds one-to-one with the nut placement area in the injection mold.

[0005] As a further improvement to this design, the machine base is equipped with a CCD detection camera for detecting defects in the nuts inside the vibrating feed pan.

[0006] As a further improvement to this design, the secondary positioning component includes a secondary positioning base plate disposed on the machine base, a secondary positioning base disposed on the secondary positioning base plate, a positioning pin disposed on the top of the secondary positioning base, and through-beam detection sensors disposed on both sides of the secondary positioning base. The through-beam detection sensors transmit light rays that pass through the top surface of the nut on the positioning pin. The top of the positioning pin is conical. The secondary positioning base plate is provided with a material picking docking positioning post.

[0007] As a further improvement to this design, the transfer gripper assembly includes a connecting seat for connecting the transfer manipulator, a gripper cylinder disposed at the bottom of the connecting seat, and grippers disposed on the gripper cylinder. The grippers have a clamping arc surface on the opposite side that fits against the circumferential surface of the nut.

[0008] As a further improvement to this design, the gripper is equipped with a photoelectric detection sensor for detecting whether a nut is present on the gripper.

[0009] As a further improvement to this design, the connecting seat is provided with a pusher seat, and the pusher seat is provided with an elastic element, the elastic extension axis of the elastic element being collinear with the nut axis between the grippers.

[0010] As a further improvement to this design, the elastic element is an elastic plunger.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model realizes automatic screening of nuts through a vibrating feeding plate, and accurately positions the nuts through a secondary positioning component, which facilitates the precise picking up of all nuts by the feeding robot and loading them into the mold at one time, effectively improving the feeding efficiency.
