Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machines, and in particular to a testing workbench for a vertical injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical injection molding machine is a mechanical device. It typically consists of an injection system, a mold clamping system, a hydraulic transmission system, an electrical control system, a lubrication system, a heating and cooling system, and a safety monitoring system.

[0003] Some products injection molded using vertical injection molding machines may exhibit deviations in dimensions, specifications, and other parameters due to various factors. For products with high production deadlines, these deviations are unacceptable. Therefore, each product needs to be inspected. Current inspection methods typically involve inspecting the product only after complete demolding. However, for certain products where only the distance between two connecting ends needs to be checked, inspection after complete demolding becomes more difficult. Therefore, how to complete product inspection at the vertical injection molding machine station before complete demolding is a problem that needs to be solved. To address these issues, a solution is proposed below. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a testing workbench for a vertical injection molding machine, which has the advantages of fast testing and does not affect the normal operation of the injection molding machine.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A testing workbench for a vertical injection molding machine includes a support frame. A horizontal adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom of the support frame and is embedded in the upper surface of the vertical injection molding machine's workstation. The support frame includes several legs and a crossbeam located at the upper end of the legs. The lower ends of the legs are connected to the horizontal adjustment mechanism, which is used to adjust the position of the support frame. The crossbeam is fixedly connected to the legs. A camera is provided on the front side of the crossbeam, and the camera is vertically downward. A supplementary light is provided on the lower surface of the crossbeam, and the illumination surface of the supplementary light is inclined downward.

[0006] Preferably, the lateral adjustment mechanism includes two threaded rods. The worktable of the injection molding machine is provided with two slots.

[0013] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the scope of protection is not limited to this embodiment. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept should be protected. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom" and "top," "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component.

[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a testing workbench for a vertical injection molding machine includes a computer and a support frame 1. The bottom of the support frame 1 is provided with a horizontal adjustment mechanism, which is used to change the position of the support frame 1 so that the support frame 1 can be moved away when the vertical injection molding machine is working normally, so as to avoid interfering with the injection and demolding operations.

[0015] The support frame 1 consists of several legs 2 and a crossbeam 3 located at the upper end of the legs 2. There are usually two or four legs 2 to provide stable support. The crossbeam 3 is fixedly connected to the legs 2, usually by welding or bolting, to ensure the overall structure is sturdy.

[0016] The lateral adjustment mechanism includes two threaded rods 6, which are arranged in parallel. Two slots 7 are pre-machined on the worktable of the vertical injection molding machine. The threaded rods 6 are installed in the slots 7 and are rotatably connected to the slots 7 through bearings.

[0017] Each of the two threaded rods 6 is connected to a motor at one end. The two motors are of the same specification to ensure synchronous rotation, thereby driving the support frame 1 to move smoothly. A threaded sleeve 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support leg 2, and the threaded sleeve 8 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 6. When the motor starts, the threaded rod 6 rotates, driving the threaded sleeve 8 to move along the length of the threaded rod 6, thereby adjusting the position of the support frame 1.

[0018] The horizontal adjustment mechanism can be used to adjust the position of the support frame 1 in the horizontal direction, so that the support frame 1 can be moved away from the station during injection molding and initial demolding, and moved back above the station during inspection.

[0019] To enhance stability during movement and reduce friction, a stabilizing foot 9 is fixed to the lower end of the support leg 2. The stabilizing foot 9 has a trapezoidal cross-section, with its two ends spanning both sides of the groove 7, serving as a guide and support.

[0020] Multiple ball bearings 10 are embedded at the lower end of the stabilizing foot 9. The ball bearings 10 are typically made of wear-resistant materials such as steel or ceramic. Guide grooves are also provided on both sides of the groove 7, and the ball bearings 10 are located in the guide grooves and roll in cooperation with the guide grooves. In this way, when the support frame 1 moves, the ball bearings 10 roll in the guide grooves, reducing frictional resistance, making the movement smoother, and preventing the support frame 1 from shifting.

[0021] A camera 4 is mounted on the front side of the crossbeam 3, and the camera 4 is installed via a connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 is detachably connected to the crossbeam 3 by screws or other fasteners, facilitating installation and maintenance. A locking block 12 is fixed to the front side of the connecting plate 11, and the locking block 12 has a locking groove. One side of the upper end of the camera 4 is locked into the locking groove, thereby keeping the camera 4 in a vertically downward position and ensuring an accurate shooting angle.

[0022] After the connection cable of camera 4 is led out from camera 4, it is arranged along the cable groove set at the upper end of crossbeam 3 and fixed in the cable groove with cable ties to avoid messy lines or interference with operation.

[0023] A supplementary light 5 is installed on the lower end face of the crossbeam 3. The illumination surface of the supplementary light 5 is tilted downwards to provide sufficient illumination for the camera 4 and improve the image quality. The supplementary light 5 is usually an LED light, which is energy-saving and has high brightness. The tilt angle of the supplementary light 5 can be adjusted according to the actual work position to ensure that the light is concentrated on the product inspection area.

[0024] The vertical injection molding machine's workstation is also equipped with several control buttons, which are used to control the start and stop of the camera 4 and the motor. Operators can manually or automatically control the movement of the support frame 1 and the camera 4 to capture images, transmitting the images to a computer for processing. The computer has built-in image processing software that can analyze product images, detect dimensional parameters such as spacing, and output the detection results.

[0025] Working principle: During operation, when the vertical injection molding machine is performing injection and initial demolding, the lateral adjustment mechanism drives the support frame 1 to move away from the workstation to avoid interfering with normal operation. After the initial demolding is completed, the product part is exposed above the mold core, and the lateral adjustment mechanism then moves the support frame 1 back to the top of the workstation.

[0026] Camera 4 takes pictures of the product, and the images are transmitted to a computer for analysis, enabling rapid detection of product parameters. This design not only improves detection efficiency but also reduces the difficulties in inspection after complete demolding.

[0027] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
