Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coding technology, specifically to an automatic identification and coding mechanism for mold materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the mold manufacturing industry, mold material marking is a crucial aspect of production management, quality control, and traceability. Traditional mold marking methods largely rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors. Especially when dealing with complex molds such as curved surfaces and irregularly shaped holes, manually adjusting the fixture to ensure the accuracy of the marking position is a time-consuming and tedious task.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies employ automated marking equipment. While these devices improve marking efficiency to some extent, they are often limited to planar or simple curved mold materials, falling short in their ability to mark complex molds from all angles. Furthermore, these devices have limitations in identifying mold materials, typically handling only specific types or specifications. For mold materials with different compositions, thicknesses, or temperature distributions, manual adjustment of equipment parameters is often required, affecting the accuracy and consistency of marking.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanism that can automatically identify mold materials and perform full-angle marking to improve the production efficiency and quality control level of the mold manufacturing industry. Utility Model Content

A second electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the limiting support frame. A movable plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second electric telescopic rod. When the second electric telescopic rod is activated, the second electric telescopic rod drives the movable plate to move up and down inside the limiting support frame.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the lower side of the movable plate, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and a threaded column is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. When the motor is started, the motor drives the threaded column to rotate, thereby driving the movable plate to move laterally.

The spectral sensor is used to detect the composition of the mold material, the laser thickness gauge is used to measure the thickness of the mold, and the infrared thermal imager is used to monitor the temperature distribution on the surface of the mold and dynamically adjust the marking mechanism.

The support plates are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt. A first electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected through one side of the support plate. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of the first electric telescopic rod. The conveyor belt is started to transfer the mold to the clamping component, and the first electric telescopic rod is started to drive the clamping plate to clamp the mold.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0017] 2. This utility model provides an automatic identification and marking mechanism for mold materials. Activating the second electric telescopic rod causes the movable plate to move up and down within the limiting support frame. Then, the motor is activated, driving the threaded column to rotate, thereby causing the movable plate to move laterally, which in turn causes the mounting plate to move laterally. This allows for the flexible movement of a spectral sensor, laser thickness gauge, and infrared thermal imager, transmitting data to the marking mechanism. By flexibly moving these components, the data acquisition of mold material is more accurate, thus improving the accuracy of marking. Attached Figure Description

One end of the second electric telescopic rod 31 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 32, and two connecting plates 33 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the movable plate 32. One side of the connecting plate 33... A motor 34 is fixedly connected, and a threaded post 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 34.

A clamping plate 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the first electric telescopic rod 20.

[0026] Specifically, the mold material is first placed on the conveyor belt 1, and then the second electric telescopic rod 31 is activated. The second electric telescopic rod 31 drives the movable plate 32 to move up and down inside the limiting support frame 30. Then the motor 34 is activated, and the motor 34 drives the threaded column 35 to rotate, thereby driving the movable plate 36 to move laterally, thereby driving the mounting plate 37 to move laterally. This allows the spectral sensor 38, the laser thickness gauge 39, and the infrared thermal imager 391 to move flexibly. Thus, the spectral sensor 38 is used to detect the composition of the mold material, the laser thickness gauge 39 is used to measure the mold thickness, and the infrared thermal imager 391 is used to monitor the temperature distribution on the mold surface. The marking mechanism 4 is dynamically adjusted. After detection, the data is transmitted to the marking mechanism 4.

A second joint 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 42. A seventh motor 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the second joint 43. A third joint 45 is fixedly connected to the output end of the seventh motor 44. A third motor 46 is fixedly connected to one side of the third joint 45. A fourth joint 47 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 46. A fifth motor 48 is fixedly connected to one side of the fourth joint 47.

The six-degree-of-freedom structure supports full-angle marking of complex molds such as curved surfaces and irregular holes, without the need for manual adjustment of the fixture.

[0031] like Figure 1-4As shown, the mold material is first placed on the conveyor belt 1. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 31 is activated, which drives the movable plate 32 to move up and down within the limiting support frame 30. Next, the motor 34 is activated, which drives the threaded column 35 to rotate, thereby causing the movable plate 36 to move laterally, which in turn causes the mounting plate 37 to move laterally. This allows the spectral sensor 38, laser thickness gauge 39, and infrared thermal imager 391 to move flexibly. The spectral sensor 38 is used to detect the composition of the mold material, the laser thickness gauge 39 to measure the mold thickness, and the infrared thermal imager 391 to monitor the surface temperature distribution of the mold. The marking mechanism 4 is dynamically adjusted, and after detection, the data is transmitted to the marking mechanism 4. The belt 1 transfers the mold to the clamping component 2. The first electric telescopic rod 20 is activated to drive the clamping plate 22 to clamp the mold. The first motor 40 drives the first joint 41 to achieve lateral rotation. The second motor 42 controls the longitudinal extension and retraction through the second joint 43. The seventh motor 44 adjusts the pitch angle of the third joint 45. The third motor 46 and the fourth joint 47 work together to complete vertical lifting and lowering. The fifth motor 48 and the sixth motor 491 respectively control the deflection and axial fine adjustment of the fifth joint 49 and the sixth joint 492, forming a six-degree-of-freedom spatial positioning system. The laser marking machine 493 emits a 1064nm wavelength laser according to the planned path to mark the mold surface. The six-degree-of-freedom structure supports full-angle marking of complex molds such as curved surfaces and irregular holes, without the need for manual adjustment of the clamps.
