Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, and in particular to a support device and an injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] During injection molding, after the injection mold opens, the workpiece usually needs to be removed from the lower mold and transferred to a support device to allow the next injection cycle to proceed smoothly. In existing technology, on the one hand, if the support device is too close to the lower mold, the support device itself can hinder the removal of the workpiece from the lower mold; on the other hand, the workpiece placed on the support device may fall back onto the lower mold, preventing the injection cycle from proceeding normally. Therefore, the support device needs to be located far from the lower mold, resulting in a long distance the workpiece needs to be transferred and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a support device and injection molding machine that can reduce the distance that the workpiece needs to be transferred.

[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a supporting device, which includes a supporting member and an isolation structure. The supporting member is used to be mounted on a base, and a supporting surface for supporting a workpiece is formed on the top side of the supporting member. A material picking hole is opened on the supporting surface, which penetrates through the supporting member. The bottom side of the material picking hole is positioned opposite to the lower mold, so that a user can reach through the material picking hole and remove the workpiece from the lower mold. The isolation structure is installed on the top side of the supporting member, and the isolation structure is arranged around the material picking hole and is used to restrict the workpiece on the supporting surface from entering the material picking hole.

[0005] The support device provided by the first aspect of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The carrier has a through-hole for removing workpieces, allowing the user to remove the workpieces from the lower mold on the bottom side of the carrier. This reduces the risk that the carrier might obstruct the user from removing the workpieces when it is positioned close to the lower mold. The carrier also has an isolation structure surrounding the through-hole, which restricts the workpieces from entering the through-hole and reduces the risk of them falling back onto the lower mold. This allows the carrier to be positioned close to the lower mold without affecting the injection molding operation, thus reducing the distance the workpieces need to be transferred.

[0006] In one embodiment of this implementation, the bearing device further includes a blocking structure, which is installed on the top side of the bearing member and extends in a direction parallel to the bearing surface. The blocking structure is used to abut against the workpiece to restrict the workpiece from leaving the bearing surface in a direction parallel to the bearing surface.

[0007] In one embodiment of this implementation, the blocking structure includes a plurality of blocking members, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the isolation structure.

[0008] In one embodiment of this implementation, the blocking element is a blocking rod, and any two blocking rods are parallel to each other.

[0009] In one embodiment of this implementation, the isolation structure encloses and forms a material passage, and the projection of the material passage coincides with the projection of the material pick-up hole on a plane parallel to the bearing surface.

[0010] In one embodiment of this implementation, the isolation structure includes four isolation rods that enclose a rectangular material passage.

[0011] In one embodiment of this implementation, the support device further includes a support assembly, the support member is mounted on the support assembly, the support assembly is used to connect with the base, and a gap is formed between the support member and the base for the lower mold to enter.

[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides an injection molding machine, which includes an upper mold, a lower mold, a base, and a support device according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect. The upper mold and the lower mold are movably connected, the lower mold is disposed on the base, and the support device is mounted on the base.

[0013] The injection molding machine provided by the second aspect of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: By incorporating the support device of the first aspect of this invention into the injection molding machine, the distance that the workpiece needs to be transferred can be reduced.

[0014] In one embodiment of this implementation, the injection molding machine further includes a mold opening and closing device and a switching device. Both the mold opening and closing device and the switching device are mounted on the base. The switching device is connected to the lower mold, and the mold opening and closing device is connected to the upper mold. When the mold opening and closing device is switched to the closed state, it is used to make the upper mold and the lower mold abut against each other. When the mold opening and closing device is switched to the open state, it is used to make the upper mold and the lower mold separate. The switching device is used to drive the lower mold to move to the bottom side of the material picking hole.

[0015] In one embodiment of this implementation, the switching device is a turntable, which is rotatably mounted on the base. When the turntable rotates, it can drive the lower mold to move to the bottom side of the material picking hole.

[0024] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the support device 100 according to one embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Side view of the support device 100; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the support device 100, the lower mold 210, and the switching device 220 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a support device 100, which includes a support member 10 and an isolation structure 20. The support member 10 is mounted on a base. A support surface 11 for supporting workpieces is formed on the top side of the support member 10. A material-retrieving hole 12 is provided on the support surface 11, penetrating the support member 10. The bottom side of the material-retrieving hole 12 is positioned opposite the lower mold 210, allowing a user to extend through the material-retrieving hole 12 and retrieve the workpiece from the lower mold 210. The isolation structure 20 is mounted on the top side of the support member 10, surrounds the material-retrieving hole 12, and restricts the workpiece on the support surface 11 from entering the material-retrieving hole 12.

[0026] Specifically, the support member 10 is a plate, the support surface 11 is a plane perpendicular to the Z direction, the axis of the material picking hole 12 is parallel to the Z direction, the isolation structure 20 forms a protrusion extending along the Z direction on the support surface 11, the isolation structure 20 is located on one side of the support member 10 along the Z direction, and the side of the support member 10 away from the isolation structure 20 is the bottom side of the support member 10.

[0027] Understandably, when the carrier 10 is mounted on the base, it is located on the top side of the lower die 210. The user can insert their hand or a material handling clamp into the material handling hole 12 along the Z direction to remove the workpiece from the lower die 210 and move it onto the carrier surface 11. The isolation structure 20 can abut against the workpiece. The isolation structure 20 forms a protrusion extending along the Z direction on the carrier surface 11 so that the isolation structure 20 can restrict the movement of the workpiece on the carrier surface 11 in a direction perpendicular to the Z direction, thereby restricting the workpiece on the carrier surface 11 from entering the material handling hole 12.

[0028] The present invention provides a support device 100, wherein the support member 10 has a material-receiving hole 12 that penetrates through the support member 10. The user can remove the workpiece from the lower mold 210 on the bottom side of the support member 10 through the material-receiving hole 12. This reduces the risk that the support device 100 may obstruct the user from removing the workpiece from the lower mold 210 when it is positioned close to the lower mold 210. The support member 10 is provided with an isolation structure 20 surrounding the material-receiving hole 12. The isolation structure 20 can restrict the workpiece on the support member 10 from entering the material-receiving hole 12, thereby reducing the risk that the workpiece on the support device 100 may fall back onto the lower mold 210. This allows the support device 100 to be positioned close to the lower mold 210 without affecting the injection molding operation, thereby reducing the distance that the workpiece needs to be transferred.

[0029] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bearing device 100 also includes a blocking structure 30, which is installed on the top side of the bearing member 10. The blocking structure 30 extends in a direction parallel to the bearing surface 11 and is used to abut against the workpiece to restrict the workpiece from leaving the bearing surface 11 in a direction parallel to the bearing surface 11.

[0030] Specifically, the support member 10 is a rectangular plate, and the blocking structure 30 extends in a direction parallel to the long side of the support member 10. The blocking structure 30 forms a protrusion extending in the Z direction on the support surface 11.

[0031] Understandably, the blocking structure 30 restricts the workpiece from leaving the bearing surface 11 in a direction parallel to the bearing surface 11, which helps reduce the risk of the workpiece falling off the bearing member 10 and affecting injection molding production. The blocking structure 30 extends in a direction parallel to the long side of the bearing member 10, which allows the blocking structure 30 to increase its size in the direction perpendicular to the Z direction without extending beyond the edge of the bearing surface 11, thereby improving the blocking effect of the blocking structure 30 on the workpiece.

[0032] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The blocking structure 30 includes a plurality of blocking elements 31, which are located on opposite sides of the isolation structure 20.

[0033] Specifically, multiple blocking elements 31 are located on both sides of the isolation structure 20 along the Y direction. This arrangement helps to reduce the risk of the workpiece leaving the bearing surface 11 along the Y direction.

[0034] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The blocking component 31 is a blocking rod, and any two blocking rods are parallel to each other.

[0035] Specifically, multiple blocking bars are parallel to the X-direction, and the blocking bars are square and hollow. It is understandable that the square shape of the blocking bars facilitates their installation on the load-bearing component 10, and the hollow design reduces their weight, thus mitigating the risk of damage to the load-bearing component 10 due to excessive load. The parallel arrangement of any two blocking bars enhances the aesthetics of the load-bearing device 100.

[0036] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The isolation structure 20 encloses and forms a material passage 22. On a plane parallel to the bearing surface 11, the projection of the material passage 22 coincides with the projection of the material pick-up hole 12.

[0037] Specifically, the axis of the feed port 22 is parallel to the Z-direction, and the shape and size of the feed port 22 are the same as those of the pick-up hole 12. It is understandable that if the size of the feed port 22 is smaller than the size of the pick-up hole 12, the isolation structure 20 will obstruct the user from removing the workpiece from the pick-up hole 12. If the size of the feed port 22 is larger than the size of the pick-up hole 12, the isolation structure 20 will occupy a larger area on the bearing surface 11 when placed on the support member 10, thus reducing the number of workpieces that the support member 10 can support. Having the same size for the feed port 22 as the pick-up hole 12 helps reduce the risk of the isolation structure 20 obstructing the user from removing the workpiece from the pick-up hole 12, and also helps reduce the area occupied by the isolation structure 20 on the bearing surface 11. The shape of the feed port 22 being the same as the shape of the pick-up hole 12 also improves the aesthetics of the support device 100.

[0038] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The isolation structure 20 includes four isolation rods 21, which together form a rectangular material passage 22.

[0039] Specifically, both the material pick-up hole 12 and the material passage 22 are rectangular. It is understood that making the material passage 22 and the material pick-up hole 12 rectangular allows their shapes to match the shape of the lower mold 210, enabling the lower mold 210 to pass through the material passage 22 and the material pick-up hole 12. This facilitates the installation and removal of the lower mold 210 on the base. The material passage 22 is formed by four isolation rods 21, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the support device 100 and also facilitates its assembly.

[0040] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The support device 100 also includes a support assembly 40, on which the support member 10 is mounted. The support assembly 40 is used to connect with the base and to create a gap between the support member 10 and the base for the lower mold 210 to enter.

[0041] Specifically, the support assembly 40 includes multiple support rods extending along the Z direction. One end of each support rod is connected to the carrier 10, and the other end is used to connect to the base. With this configuration, when the carrier device 100 is installed on the base, the support assembly 40 can create a gap between the carrier 10 and the base for the lower mold 210 to enter, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the carrier device 100.

[0042] Secondly, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an injection molding machine, which includes an upper mold, a lower mold 210, a base, and a support device 100 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the invention. The upper mold and the lower mold 210 are movably connected, the lower mold 210 is disposed on the base, and the support member 10 is mounted on the base.

[0043] Specifically, the support device 100 can be connected to the base by bolting, welding, gluing, or magnetic attraction. By incorporating the support device 100 of the first aspect of this utility model into the injection molding machine, the distance that the workpiece needs to be transferred can be reduced.

[0044] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The injection molding machine also includes a mold opening and closing device and a switching device 220. Both the mold opening and closing device and the switching device 220 are mounted on the base. The switching device 220 is connected to the lower mold 210, and the mold opening and closing device is connected to the upper mold. When the mold opening and closing device is switched to the closed state, it is used to make the upper mold and the lower mold 210 abut together. When the mold opening and closing device is switched to the open state, it is used to separate the upper mold and the lower mold 210. The switching device 220 is used to drive the lower mold 210 to move to the bottom side of the material picking hole 12.

[0045] Specifically, the switching device 220 is located on the bottom side of the support device 100. It can be understood that when the mold opening and closing device is set away from the support device 100, the lower mold 210 can be transferred to the bottom side of the material removal hole 12 by the switching device 220 so that the user can remove the workpiece on the lower mold 210. By setting the switching device 220, the mold opening and closing device can be set away from the support device 100 without affecting the user's material removal, thereby reducing the risk of the user being damaged by the mold opening and closing device.

[0046] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The switching device 220 is a turntable, which is rotatably mounted on the base. When the turntable rotates, it can drive the lower mold 210 to move to the bottom side of the material picking hole 12.

[0047] Specifically, the turntable has two lower molds 210, which are symmetrically distributed around the turntable's axis of rotation. When the turntable rotates one lower mold 210 to the bottom side of the material pick-up hole 12, the other lower mold 210 is located on one side of the material pick-up hole 12 along the Y direction. It can be understood that while the user is transferring the workpiece from the lower mold 210 located on the bottom side of the material pick-up hole 12 to the carrier 10, the injection molding machine can perform injection molding on the other lower mold 210 located on the Y-direction side of the material pick-up hole 12. This arrangement helps improve production efficiency.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
