Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a status monitoring system suitable for material feeding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Molds are various molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain desired products through methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting or forging, smelting and stamping. Molds are tools used to make shaped items. These tools are composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. For example, blanking molds are needed in the processing of parts such as car door rings.

[0003] A search revealed a patent: a blanking mold for automotive door rings (CN202321476097.4). From top to bottom, it comprises a top plate, an upper mold base, an upper mold cavity, a lower mold cavity, a lower mold base, and a bottom plate. The left and right sides of the upper mold base are mounted to the upper top plate via first fastening mechanisms, and the top of the upper mold base is mounted to the upper top plate via several second fastening mechanisms. Similarly, the left and right sides of the lower mold base are mounted to the lower bottom plate via first fastening mechanisms, and the bottom of the lower mold base is mounted to the lower bottom plate via several second fastening mechanisms. However, this structure lacks mold monitoring. After prolonged operation, the high-intensity work of the mold can lead to issues with temperature, pressure, or flow rate, potentially resulting in quality defects in the molded product and increasing costs.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer actively researched and innovated in order to create a new type of status monitoring system suitable for material unloading equipment, making it more valuable for industrial applications. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a status monitoring system suitable for a material feeding device includes a power supply 1 and a main control unit 2. The output terminal of the power supply 1 is connected to the input terminal of the main control unit 2. The input terminal of the main control unit 2 is connected to the output terminal of a pressure sensor 4 installed on the press column to detect pressure via a bus communication unit 3. The input terminal of the main control unit 2 is also connected to the output terminal of a temperature sensor 5 installed in the press beam area for detecting temperature via a bus communication unit 3. Furthermore, the input terminal of the main control unit 2 is connected to the output terminal of a flow sensor 6 installed in the press slider area for detecting lubrication flow via a bus communication unit 3. The output terminal of the power supply 1 is connected to the input terminals of the pressure sensor 4, temperature sensor 5, and flow sensor 6. The output terminal of the main control unit 2 is connected to the input terminal of an alarm unit 7 and a display 8. The main control unit 2 is also connected to a terminal device 10 via a data transmission unit 9.

[0024] The pressure sensor mentioned above is installed on each column. Since the press has 4 columns, 4 pressure sensors are installed.

[0025] For detecting the temperature of the press, at least 20 temperature sensors need to be installed in the crossbeam area to ensure the accuracy of the temperature. By collecting data from different locations and averaging the values, the overall temperature can be controlled to ensure the quality of the product.

[0026] The press slide section requires control of different slides, that is, the number of slides installed on the press corresponds to the number of flow sensors (AFM3000).

[0027] The power supply 1 described in this utility model outputs DC3.3V and DC5V through an LDO chip. The DC5V power supply is used to power the main control unit 2, and the DC3.3V power supply is used to power the pressure sensor 4, the temperature sensor 5, and the flow sensor 6.

[0028] The pressure sensor 4 and temperature sensor 5 described in this utility model are both of model BMP180.

[0029] In this invention, the communication unit 9 is a gateway device (a device known in the art), and the terminal device 10 is a mobile phone or a PC. Both can be used simultaneously. Information can be transmitted to the PC via a Wi-Fi module, allowing operators in the monitoring room to know the specific parameters. Simultaneously, 5G can be used to remotely transmit data to operators who are away, enabling real-time monitoring.

[0030] The bus communication unit can communicate directly and efficiently with field devices such as sensors and actuators, and can also easily build a distributed network with other PLCs or control systems.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] In actual operation, the compressor collects data through sensors with different functions. The collected information is transmitted to the main control unit (PLC) through the bus communication unit. After processing by the main control unit, the information is displayed on the screen (temperature, pressure and flow). Real-time monitoring is achieved by transmitting the information to the monitoring terminal (PC and / or mobile phone) through the data transmission unit.

[0033] When the data collected by the aforementioned different functional sensors conflict with the custom thresholds set in the main control unit, the alarm unit is controlled by the main control unit to issue a reminder. The corresponding threshold settings are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the system or component 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 application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
