[0002] During injection molding, steel sleeves are inserted to ensure the strength of the joints of the injection molded products; the steel sleeves increase the strength of the joints.

[0003] In existing technologies, when molding products with steel sleeves, the steel sleeves are manually placed one by one into the injection mold before subsequent mold closing and pressure holding operations. After the product cools down, it is manually removed and placed in a collection location. However, manual operation requires at least one operator to be present at the equipment at all times. This manual operation increases labor intensity, increases costs due to excessive human intervention, and reduces production efficiency. Furthermore, because the injection molding equipment operates at high temperatures, manual operation is prone to errors, resulting in burns to the operator. Utility Model Content

Additionally, a picking device is installed on the robotic arm of the injection molding machine. During operation, only manual labor is required to pour steel sleeves into the feeding device, which then conveys them to the conveying device. The conveying device then pushes the steel sleeves one by one onto the picking device. As the picking device changes position under the influence of the robotic arm, multiple steel sleeves are pushed into different positions on the picking device. The robotic arm then positions the steel sleeves in the mold and pushes them into the mold. After the product is formed, the picking device rotates to remove the formed product and places it in a collection position.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic steel sleeve installation mechanism, comprising: A frame 100 is installed at the site of use and is located adjacent to the injection molding machine. The frame 100 is equipped with casters and support legs at its bottom. The casters support the frame 100 and allow it to move, changing its position. The support legs are preferably height-adjustable, as is common in the art. This allows for height adjustment during use, ensuring proper support for the frame 100. The feeding device 200 is mounted on the frame 100; the conveying device 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and is arranged adjacent to the feeding device 200; the operator pours steel sleeves into the feeding device 200, which then conveys the steel sleeves to the conveying device 300, and the conveying device 300 pushes the steel sleeves one by one onto the picking device 400; the picking device 400 is mounted on the robotic arm of the injection molding machine and is arranged adjacent to the frame 100; the picking device 400 picks up the steel sleeves conveyed by the conveying device 300 one by one. After molding, the product is extracted. Specifically, the robotic arm drives the material handling device 400 to change position, and the steel sleeve pushed by the feeding device 300 is placed in different positions of the material handling device 400. The robotic arm drives the material handling device 400 to move, so that the steel sleeve is placed in the mold of the injection molding machine and the product is formed. After the product is formed, the angle of the material handling device 400 is changed under the drive of the robotic arm, and the formed product is taken out by the material handling device 400 and transferred to the collection position under the drive of the robotic arm.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting a frame 100 adjacent to the injection molding machine, and installing a feeding device 200 and a feeding device 300 on the frame 100; additionally, a picking device 400 is installed on the robotic arm of the injection molding machine; during use, only manual labor is required to pour steel sleeves into the feeding device 200, which then feeds the steel sleeves into the feeding device 300; the feeding device 300 then pushes the steel sleeves one by one onto the picking device 400; as the picking device 400 changes position under the drive of the robotic arm, multiple steel sleeves are pushed into different positions on the picking device 400; under the drive of the robotic arm... The steel sleeve is placed in the mold position and pushed into the mold. After the product is formed, the material handling device 400 rotates to remove the formed product and place it in the collection position. Under the drive of the robotic arm, the material handling device 400 returns to the position of the feeding device 300 for the next operation. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model can complete the extraction, placement and product removal of the steel sleeve without manual intervention during the operation stage. It reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency. In addition, the absence of manual intervention during the production stage can reduce the intensity of manual labor and avoid problems such as burns to the operator.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the material handling device 400 includes a connecting body 401, a first material handling plate 402, a second material handling plate 404, a first material handling body 406, and a second material handling body 407. The connecting body 401 is connected to the robotic arm of the injection molding machine. The first material handling plate 402 is disposed on the connecting body 401, and a plurality of material handling columns 403 are disposed on the first material handling plate 402. The second material handling plate 404 is disposed on the plurality of material handling columns 403. A first driving body 405 is also disposed between the first material handling plate 402 and the second material handling plate 404, and the output end of the first driving body 405 is connected to the second material handling plate 404. The first material handling body 406 and the second material handling body 407 are positioned opposite each other. The first material taking plate 402 is placed at both ends; the connecting body 401 changes position under the drive of the robotic arm, and drives the several material taking columns 403 to change position. During the process of the several material taking columns 403 changing position, the steel sleeve is pushed into the several material taking columns 403 by the feeding device 300; when all the material taking columns 403 are carrying steel sleeves, the overall position is changed under the drive of the robotic arm; the second material taking plate 404 is aligned with the mold; the first driving body 405 is activated, so that the second material taking plate 404 slides on the several material taking columns 403, and pushes the cylinder sleeves on the several material taking columns 403 into the mold through the second material taking plate 404, thereby completing the placement of the steel sleeve into the mold; In addition, to reduce the stroke of the first drive body 405, it is preferable to provide a plurality of guide sleeves 408, which are respectively inserted through a plurality of picking columns 403 and placed on one side of the second picking plate 404. In this way, under the push of the first drive body 405, the second picking plate 404 pushes the plurality of guide sleeves 408 to slide on the plurality of picking columns 403, and pushes the steel sleeve on the picking column 403 into the mold. It should be noted that gaps are provided on the plurality of picking columns 403, so that the picking column 403 has deformation space when the feeding device 300 pushes in the steel sleeve, so that the steel sleeve can be pushed into the picking column 403 better. Moreover, one end of the picking column 403 has a round head structure, which can prevent the steel sleeve from being scratched when it comes into contact with the steel sleeve, and can also make the steel sleeve enter the picking column 403 better. Preferably, the first drive body 405 is a cylinder. After the product is formed, the first picking plate 402 and the second picking plate 404 are rotated under the operation of the connecting body 401; after rotation, the formed product is clamped by the first picking body 406 and the second picking body 407; after the product is clamped, the position is changed under the drive of the robotic arm, and the product is moved to the collection position, and the first picking body 406 and the second picking body 407 move to place the formed product in the collection position. In this invention, the connecting body 401 includes a connecting plate 411 and a rotating part 412 disposed on the connecting plate 411; the first picking plate 402 is disposed on the rotating part 412; after the product is formed, the rotating part 412 rotates, and drives the first picking plate 402 to rotate simultaneously; since the second picking plate is connected to the first picking plate, the second picking plate 404 rotates along with the first picking plate 402; and the first picking body 406 and the second picking body 407 on the first picking plate 402 are in the working direction, thereby completing the clamping operation of the formed product; preferably, the rotating part is a rotary cylinder.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the first material-grabbing body 406 includes a support plate 461 and a second driving body 462. One end of the support plate 461 is disposed on the first material-grabbing plate 402; the second driving body 462 is disposed on the other end of the support plate 461, and a clamping block 463 is disposed at the output end of the second driving body 462. When clamping the molded product, the second driving body 462 moves, causing the clamping block 463 to move closer to the position of the molded product and clamp the molded product. The second material-grabbing body 407 has the same structure as the first material-grabbing body 406 and is disposed opposite to the first material-grabbing plate 402. In this way, the first material-grabbing body 406 and the second material-grabbing body 407 move simultaneously, which can perform clamping operations on the molded product. Preferably, the second driving body 462 is a cylinder. Since the technical solution of this utility model operates automatically, to avoid the situation where the steel sleeve is not placed in the picking column 403, a detection plate 500 and several detection bodies 600 are also provided. The detection plate 500 is set on the frame 100; the several detection bodies 600 are inserted into several detection holes on the detection plate 500. When the steel sleeves are all placed on the several picking columns 403, they are moved to the position of the detection plate 500 under the drive of the robotic arm. The several detection bodies 600 are used to detect the several picking columns 403, thereby determining whether there is a steel sleeve on the several picking columns 403. This avoids injection molding when the several picking columns 403 do not have steel sleeves, so that the product does not meet the usage requirements after molding. It should be noted that the layout of the several detection holes is the same as the layout of the several picking columns 403 on the second sampling plate, so as to ensure that the several detection bodies 600 correspond to the several picking columns 403 during detection. The preferred detection body 600 is a fiber optic sensor. To ensure that the detection bodies 600 correspond to the picking columns 403 during testing, it is preferable that a number of guide shafts 409 are provided on the first picking plate 402; a number of guide holes 501 are provided on the detection plate 500; in the testing state, the number of guide shafts 409 are inserted into the number of guide holes 501; specifically, when the second picking plate 404 is placed in the position of the detection plate 500, the number of guide shafts 409 are inserted into the number of guide holes 501 under the drive of the robotic arm, and the second picking plate 404 gradually approaches the detection plate 500, thereby making the number of detection bodies 600 correspond to the number of picking columns 403, and completing the testing of the steel sleeves on the number of picking columns 403; it should be noted that the number of picking columns 403, detection bodies 600 and guide shafts 409 are set as needed, and this utility model does not further limit this.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device 200 includes a vibratory feeder 201, a linear vibrating frame 202, and a feeding channel 204. The vibratory feeder 201 is mounted on the frame 100; the linear vibrating frame 202 is mounted on the frame 100, and a linear vibrator 203 is mounted on the linear vibrating frame 202; the feeding channel 204 is mounted on the linear vibrator 203, and one end is connected to the outlet of the vibratory feeder 201; the operator pours steel sleeves into the vibratory feeder 201, and the feeder 204 moves under the action of the vibratory feeder 201. The steel sleeve enters the feeding channel 204. Under the action of the vibrator 203, the steel sleeve is conveyed in the feeding channel 204 and then conveyed to the feeding device 300. The feeding device 300 conveys the steel sleeves one by one. It should be noted that a pressure plate 205 is also provided on the feeding channel 204. The pressure plate 205 seals the feeding channel 204 to prevent the steel sleeve from leaving the feeding channel 204 during the conveying process, thereby improving the stability of the steel sleeve conveying. The feeding device 300 includes a feeding frame 301, a third drive body 302, a push rod 303, and a stop groove 305. The feeding frame 301 is mounted on the frame 100; the third drive body 302 is mounted on the feeding frame 301; one end of the push rod 303 is connected to the third drive body 302, and the push rod 303 is located in a sliding groove 304 on the feeding frame 301; the stop groove 305 communicates with the sliding groove 304, and a slot 306 is provided on the stop groove 305, and the slot 306 communicates with the feeding channel 2. The other end of 04 is connected; since the groove 305 is provided with a slot 306, the feeding channel 204 will enter the groove 305 through the slot 306; when the steel sleeve enters the groove 305, the third driving body 302 is activated and pushes the push rod 303 to move in the slide 304, and pushes the steel sleeve out of the groove 305 and places it on the picking column 403; as the steel sleeve continues to enter the groove 305, the push rod 303 pushes the steel sleeve into the picking column 403 one by one; In addition, the push rod 303 includes a connecting section and a pushing section, the width of which is smaller than the width of the connecting section; and the width of the retaining groove 305 is smaller than the span of the sliding groove 304; thus, when the push rod 303 is pushed by the third driving body 302, the retaining groove 305 can limit one end of the connecting section to avoid excessive pushing of one end of the connecting section; a baffle 307 is also provided on the retaining groove 305, which is adjacent to the third driving body 302; thus, the baffle 307 can limit the other end of the connecting section to avoid excessive retraction when the connecting section is reset; preferably, the third driving body 302 is a cylinder.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
