Automatic sprue removing apparatus with clamping mechanism

Abstract

This utility model provides an automatic sprue removal device with a clamping and rotating mechanism, including a worktable. The worktable is equipped with a steering mechanism, a moving mechanism, and a punching mechanism. The steering mechanism includes a rotatable clamping and tilting cylinder, and the piston rod of the clamping and tilting cylinder is equipped with a toothed clamp. The moving mechanism includes a movable gripper cylinder and a moving seat. The gripper cylinder moves between the steering mechanism and the moving seat, and the moving seat has a positioning groove. The punching mechanism includes a vertically movable punching blade, which is located at the end of the moving track of the moving seat.

[0031] Example

[0032] Reference Figure 1-2 , Figure 8 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic sprue removal device with a clamping and turning mechanism, including a workbench 10. The workbench 10 is provided with a turning mechanism 20, a moving mechanism 30 and a punching mechanism 40. The turning mechanism 20 is used to adjust the product with injection sprue 501 taken out from the injection mold to a horizontal state. The moving mechanism 30 is used to move the product with injection sprue 501 to the punching mechanism 40. The punching mechanism 40 is used to punch the connection position between the product and the injection sprue 501 to form an independent product.

[0033] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, the steering mechanism 20 includes a rotatable clamping and tilting cylinder 202. The piston rod of the clamping and rotating cylinder 201 is equipped with a toothed clamp 203. Specifically, a robot (not shown in the figure) removes a product with an injection gate 501 from the injection mold and moves it to the toothed clamp 203. After the toothed clamp 203 clamps the product, it is tilted 90° by the clamping and tilting cylinder 202 to a horizontal position. Furthermore, the steering mechanism 20 further includes a rotating cylinder 201 located at the bottom of the clamping and tilting cylinder 202. The rotating cylinder 201 drives the clamping and tilting cylinder 202 to rotate 90°, so that the product with the injection gate 501 moves below the gripper cylinder 302 to be picked up, thus achieving the function of adjusting the direction.

[0034] Reference Figure 4-5As shown, the moving mechanism 30 includes a movable gripper cylinder 302 and a moving seat 303. The gripper cylinder 302 moves between the steering mechanism 20 and the moving seat 303. The moving seat 303 has a positioning groove 3031. Specifically, the moving mechanism 30 includes a sliding cylinder 301. The gripper cylinder 302 is mounted on the sliding cylinder 301. The gripper cylinder 302 clamps the product with the injection gate 501 downwards. After the sliding cylinder 301 drives the gripper cylinder 302 to clamp the product, it moves to the moving seat 303 and is placed in the positioning groove 3031. Furthermore, the moving mechanism 30 also includes two guide rails 304. The moving seat 303 is slidably mounted on the two guide rails 304. A push cylinder 305 is mounted on the moving seat 303. The push cylinder 305 is connected to the moving seat 303.

[0035] Reference Figure 5-7 As shown, the punching mechanism 40 includes a vertically movable punching blade 4031, which is located at the end of the moving track of the moving seat 303. Specifically, the punching mechanism 40 includes a slide plate 401, a slide rail is provided on the working surface, the slide plate 401 is mounted on the slide rail, a first pressing cylinder 402 is mounted on the slide plate 401, the piston rod of the first pressing cylinder 402 is mounted on a moving frame, a second pressing cylinder 403 is mounted on the moving frame, and the piston rod of the second pressing cylinder 403 is mounted on the punching blade 4031. When the moving seat 303 moves below the punching blade 4031, it controls the second cylinder to press down, driving the punching blade 4031 to punch the position connected to the injection gate 501, thereby separating the product from the injection gate 501. Furthermore, the movable frame is further equipped with a clamping claw cylinder 404, which is located on one side of the punching cutter 4031. The first pressing cylinder 402 controls the clamping claw cylinder 404 to clamp the punched product downwards and remove the product from the positioning groove 3031.

[0036] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the workbench 10 has a first notch and a second notch below the slide plate 401. The product material trough 101 is placed under the first notch, and the waste collection trough 102 is placed under the second notch. Specifically, when the moving seat 303 is placed above the second notch, the punching cutter 4031 presses down to punch the connection between the injection gate 501 and the product, causing the injection gate 501 to fall from the second notch into the waste collection trough 102. The clamping claws pick up the product from the first notch and put it into the product material trough 101 for collection.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
