Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically a silicone material handling device. Background Technology
[0002] Silicone is a non-petroleum product and does not rely on increasingly scarce petroleum resources, making silicone products an inevitable substitute for similar plastic products. At the same time, silicone products can be used in many applications that plastic products cannot. During the production of silicone products, handling equipment is usually required to transfer them.
[0003] A search revealed a patent, CN210479838U, which discloses a silicone handling device. The device includes a handling plate with several gripping pins. A pressing plate is located on one side of the handling plate, and the gripping pins penetrate the pressing plate. A first guide post passes through the pressing plate, and a guide hole mates with the first guide post. This device avoids the problem of silicone sticking to workers' hands during handling and also prevents contamination from contact between silicone and hands during the handling process.
[0004] The aforementioned patents have significant beneficial effects, but in practical application, they still have the following shortcomings:
[0005] The aforementioned comparative documents describe the handling of silicone products by inserting gripping pins into them. However, in practice, there are many types of silicone products, such as silicone sealing rings. When handling extruded silicone sealing rings, it is necessary to ensure their integrity. In the aforementioned comparative documents, the insertion of gripping pins during handling can damage the silicone sealing rings, affecting their molding effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to improve the silicone handling device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6A silicone handling device includes a handling plate 1. The lower part of the handling plate 1 has several locking rings 2, which are nested together. Each locking ring 2 has at least two connecting posts 3 on its upper part. The connecting posts 3 penetrate the handling plate 1 and extend to its upper part. A fixing plate 4, adapted to the connecting posts 3, is fixedly installed on the upper part of the handling plate 1. The fixing plate 4 has a limiting unit for limiting the connecting posts 3. The limiting unit includes several limiting posts 5 penetrating the fixing plate 4. A limiting hole 8, adapted to one end of the limiting post 5, is opened on the side of the connecting post 3. A pulling plate 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the limiting post 5 away from the connecting post 3. A spring 7, sleeved on the side of the limiting post 5, is fixedly installed between the pulling plate 6 and the fixing plate 4. Several visual positioning devices 9, used for visual positioning, are fixedly installed on the lower part of the handling plate 1, located at the four corners of the lower part of the handling plate 1.
[0029] Specifically, during the production of silicone sealing rings, the freshly extruded silicone sealing rings are at a certain temperature, making it inconvenient for operators to hand-transfer them to the grinding device for grinding. A conveying device is used to transport the formed silicone sealing rings, which are then placed on a placement plate. This device is mounted on an existing mobile device, such as a sliding track mobile device or an arm robot. The visual positioning device 9 in the prior art locates the position of the silicone sealing ring to be transported, and the mobile device moves the conveying plate 1 above the placement plate. The conveying plate 1 moves downwards, and one of the snap-fit rings 2 snaps into the inner ring of the silicone sealing ring. The outer diameter of the snap-fit ring 2 is interference-fitted with the inner diameter of the silicone sealing ring. Because the silicone sealing ring is relatively lightweight, through friction, the silicone sealing ring remains positioned to the side of the snap-fit ring 2 during the upward movement or transport process of the conveying plate 1. The mobile device then... The silicone sealing ring is transported to the grinding device, where it is adsorbed by an existing fixing device (such as vacuum adsorption). The transport plate 1 then moves upwards to remove the silicone sealing ring, facilitating its transport. Specifically, a matching snap ring 2 is selected based on the size of the silicone sealing ring being produced. The pulling plate 6 is pulled away from the connecting post 3, disengaging one end of the limiting post 5 from a limiting hole 8 on the connecting post 3. At this point, the spring 7 is stretched, moving the snap ring 2 away from the transport plate 1. After the snap ring 2 is disengaged, a matching limiting hole 8 is selected, aligning it with the end of the limiting post 5. The pulling plate 6 is then released, and the tension of the spring 7 pulls the pulling plate 6 towards the connecting post 3. One end of the limiting post 5 is inserted into a matching limiting hole 8. This device can transport various silicone sealing rings within a certain threshold range, improving its applicability.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, each snap ring 2 has an arc-shaped groove 10 on its outer side. The arc-shaped groove 10 is arc-shaped, and the inner ring of the silicone sealing ring is snapped into the arc-shaped groove 10 to improve the stability when transporting the silicone sealing ring. Each snap ring 2 has a guide rounded corner 11 on its lower side. The guide rounded corner 11 is arc-shaped and matches the arc-shaped groove 10. When the transport plate 1 moves down, the guide rounded corner 11 plays a guiding role, making it easy for the snap ring 2 to snap into the silicone sealing ring.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, each snap ring 2 has a connecting hole 12 on its upper part, and the lower end of the connecting post 3 is threaded into the connecting hole 12. Each connecting post 3 has at least two upper limit holes 8, which can determine the position of the snap ring 2 according to the actual size of the silicone sealing ring when the snap ring 2 is used beyond the side where the snap ring 2 is not used, thereby improving the applicability of the handling device.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a connecting frame 13 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the transport plate 1. The connecting frame 13 is installed on the mobile device through the mounting parts, which makes it convenient to fix the transport plate 1 on the mobile device in the prior art.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
