[0021] Injection molding is a process in which plastic raw materials are heated and melted, then injected into a mold cavity under high pressure. After cooling and solidification, a product conforming to the shape of the mold is obtained. Currently, the gates of injection-molded products are usually cut manually, which is not highly automated and has low work efficiency.

[0022] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an automatic sprue cutting device that can improve work efficiency and make the sprue cutting process more automated.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2An automatic sprue cutting device includes: a pressing device 100 and a cutting device 200. The cutting device 200 includes a horizontal drive assembly 210, a first base plate 220, a second base plate 230, an elastic component 240, and a cutter 250. The first base plate 220 is disposed on the horizontal drive assembly 210. One end of the elastic component 240 is disposed on the first base plate 220, and the other end of the elastic component 240 is disposed on the second base plate 230. The cutter 250 is disposed on the first base plate 220. The first base plate 220 has a first discharge port 221, and the second base plate 230 has a second discharge port 231. The first discharge port 221 and the second discharge port 231 are parallel to each other. The cutter 250 is located on one side of the first discharge port 221. When the horizontal drive assembly 210 drives the first base plate 220 to move below the pressing device 100, the pressing device 100 presses down to deform the elastic assembly 240, so that the second base plate 230 is close to the cutter 250 to cut the sprue.

[0025] It should be noted that the pressing device 100 is used to press down the second base plate 230, causing the elastic component 240 on the second base plate 230 to deform, thereby bringing it closer to the cut and completing the sprue cutting. The horizontal drive component 210 is used to drive the first base plate 220, and then drive the second base plate 230 to move horizontally. Specifically, the horizontal drive component 210 drives the first base plate 220, and then drives the second base plate 230, to move away from the pressing device 100, completing the loading of the injection molded product with the sprue to be cut. After loading, the horizontal drive component 210 drives the first base plate 220, and then drives the second base plate 230, to move closer to the pressing device 100 until it reaches below the pressing device 100. The pressing device 100 presses down, causing the elastic component 240 to deform, bringing the second base plate 230 closer to the cutter to cut the sprue. The above process can be automated during injection molding to complete the sprue cutting. Furthermore, this application is very compact in structure, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

[0026] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the horizontal drive assembly 210 includes a first drive member 211, a slide rail 212 and a slider 213. A first base plate 220 is disposed on the first drive member 211 and connected to the slider 213, which is disposed on the slide rail 212.

[0027] It should be noted that the first driving component 211 can be a cylinder or other driving components. Furthermore, the first driving component 211 drives the first base plate 220 to slide on the slide rail 212 via the slider 213.

[0028] See Figure 2In one embodiment, the elastic component 240 includes a support column 241 and a spring 242. One end of the support column 241 is disposed on the first base plate 220, and the other end of the support column 241 is disposed on the second base plate 230. The spring 242 is disposed on the support column 241.

[0029] It should be noted that the spring 242 is sleeved on the support column 241. When the pressing device 100 presses down, due to the deformation of the spring 242, the second base plate 230 will approach the first base plate 220 and the cutter 250.

[0030] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the pressing device 100 includes a vertical drive assembly 110, which includes a second drive member 111, a movable plate 112, and a plurality of abutment blocks 113. The second drive member 111 is connected to the movable plate 112, and each abutment block 113 is respectively disposed on the movable plate 112.

[0031] Specifically, see Figure 3 The second base plate 230 has several clearance grooves 232.

[0032] It should be noted that the second driving component 111 can be a cylinder. When the first driving component 211 drives the first base plate 220 to move below the movable plate 112, the second driving component 111 drives the movable plate 112 to press down towards the first base plate 220, causing the spring 242 to deform. The second base plate 230 will then approach the first base plate 220 and the cutter 250. Furthermore, the clearance groove 232 is used to support the injection molded product with the sprue to be cut, and the abutment block 113 is used to press down the injection molded product with the sprue to be cut in the clearance groove 232, thereby facilitating the cutter's cutting of the sprue.

[0033] Referring to Figure 3, in one embodiment, the pressing device 100 further includes a clamping assembly 120, which includes a clamping cylinder 121, a first pressing block 122 and a second pressing block 123. The clamping cylinder 121 is disposed on the movable plate 112, and the first pressing block 122 and the second pressing block 123 are respectively disposed on the clamping cylinder 121.

[0034] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the cutting device 200 further includes a feed tray 260, which is hinged to the first base plate 220. Specifically, the cutting device 200 also includes a receiving hopper 270, which is located on one side of the second drive member 111.

[0035] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the automatic water cutter device further includes a conveyor belt 300 located below the second drive member 111.

[0036] It should be noted that the clamping cylinder 121 is used to drive the first pressure block 122 and the second pressure block 123 to clamp the protruding part of the injection molded product whose sprue is to be cut. Specifically, the clamping cylinder 121 drives the first pressure block 122 and the second pressure block 123 to open, the second driving member 111 drives the movable plate 112 to press down, and then the clamping cylinder 121 drives the first pressure block 122 and the second pressure block 123 to close and clamp the protruding part of the injection molded product whose sprue is to be cut, where the protruding part is the part to be discarded after cutting. After cutting, the product will fall into the conveyor belt through the first discharge port 221 and the second discharge port 231. The first driving member 211 will drive the first base plate 220 to move away from the movable plate 112. At this time, the discharge tray 260 is parallel to the movable plate 112 through the drive of the first base plate 220. At this time, the clamping cylinder 121 drives the first pressure block 122 and the second pressure block 123 to open, and the protruding part of the injection molded product falls onto the discharge tray 260. After the next injection molded product with the sprue to be cut is loaded, the first drive component 211 will drive the first base plate 220 to move towards the moving plate 112. At this time, the unloading tray 260 will gradually cut at an angle due to gravity until the protruding part of the injection molded product slides into the receiving hopper 270.

[0037] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the vertical drive assembly 110 further includes a positioning post 114, which is disposed on the movable plate 112.

[0038] It is understood that there are two positioning posts 114, and correspondingly, two holes are provided on the second base plate 230 to mate with the positioning posts 114. The purpose is to determine whether the movable plate 112 is aligned with the second base plate 230 so that the second base plate 230 can be fully pressed down.
