Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a retractable rotating material platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the injection molding process of automotive door panels, the pre-embedded hardware nuts are a critical step, directly affecting the quality and efficiency of subsequent assembly of core components such as audio speakers and window regulator motors. Currently, the automotive injection molding industry mostly uses a co-molding process for left and right door panels, requiring multiple hardware nuts to be embedded in each panel. Traditional manual operation is not only inefficient but also poses safety hazards such as accidental operation, workplace injuries, and difficulty in ensuring consistent quality. To address these issues, the industry has introduced an automated solution: the hardware nuts are first precisely positioned and fixed in a dedicated fixture, then a robot picks up the entire fixture and transfers it into the mold to complete the insert injection molding. This method effectively reduces manual labor intensity, improves positioning accuracy, and thus ensures the stability of product quality.

[0003] Patent publication number CN221641607U discloses a transfer platform mechanism for embedding hardware parts during injection molding of dual-cavity products. This mechanism mainly consists of a transfer platform carrier plate, the upper surface of which is provided with multiple hardware part carriers. It is also equipped with a base and a translation mechanism for driving the transfer platform carrier plate to move. By driving the transfer platform carrier plate to move through the translation mechanism, it facilitates both the placement of hardware parts by the loading robot and the retrieval of hardware parts by the unloading robot—when the transfer platform carrier plate moves to the vicinity of the loading robot, it facilitates the loading robot to complete the placement; when it moves to the vicinity of the unloading robot, it facilitates the unloading robot to accurately retrieve the parts.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patented structure has certain technical defects: the movement of the translation mechanism will cause the feeding operation to be interrupted, and the placement of the hardware nuts cannot be completed synchronously, which will increase the waiting time in the production process, and ultimately lead to a longer production cycle and a decrease in production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a retractable and rotating material platform that allows for simultaneous loading and unloading, avoiding the waiting time in the loading and unloading process of traditional equipment and improving production efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A retractable rotating material platform includes a rotating table, a divider, a first placement fixture, and a second placement fixture; the first placement fixture and the second placement fixture have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating table, and both the first placement fixture and the second placement fixture are provided with a fixture for accommodating hardware nuts. The output end of the divider is connected to the rotary table and is used to drive the rotary table to rotate intermittently on the horizontal plane so that the positions of the first and second placement fixtures are interchanged, thereby achieving synchronous feeding and discharging. The rotating platform is provided with a sliding first platform and a second platform, the first placement fixture is installed on the first platform, and the second placement fixture is installed on the second platform; The first platform is connected to a first traction mechanism, and the second platform is connected to a second traction mechanism; When loading or unloading, the first platform and the second platform are driven to move in opposite directions to increase the distance between the first placement fixture and the second placement fixture. When the rotary table rotates, the first platform and the second platform are driven to move towards each other to reduce the overall space occupied.

[0007] Furthermore, the first / second storage fixture is detachably connected to the first / second platform, and the first / second storage fixture is detachably connected to the first / second platform. A horizontal anti-displacement sliding mechanism is provided between the first / second storage fixture and the first / second platform.

[0008] Furthermore, the anti-displacement sliding mechanism includes an insert located at the bottom of the first storage fixture / second storage fixture, the insert having a plurality of first ball bearings circumferentially arranged thereon; the first platform and the second platform are respectively provided with insertion holes that cooperate with the insert. When the first storage fixture / second storage fixture is placed on the first platform / second platform, the plug is inserted into the socket.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of cylinders evenly arranged around the outer periphery of the divider; the piston rods of the cylinders are arranged upwards; a second ball is provided at the top of the piston rod of each cylinder, and the second ball contacts the bottom surface of the rotary table to provide auxiliary support for the rotary table and enhance its stability.

[0010] Furthermore, the first / second storage fixture is provided with two of the aforementioned jigs; The first / second storage fixture is provided with an assembly position, and the fixture is placed in the assembly position; A locking device is also provided next to the assembly position.

[0012] Furthermore, the first traction mechanism and the second traction mechanism are any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the divider drives the rotary table to rotate intermittently by an angle of 180°, so that the positions of the first and second storage fixtures are interchanged.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This extendable rotating material platform uses the intermittent rotation of the rotary table to switch the positions of the first and second loading fixtures, facilitating simultaneous loading and unloading and avoiding the waiting time during loading and unloading processes found in traditional equipment. Workers can load materials onto one fixture while unloading is completed on the other, significantly improving production efficiency, saving time and costs, and increasing capacity and profitability.

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model claims protection for a retractable rotating material platform, including a rotating table 1, a divider 2, a first placement fixture 3, and a second placement fixture 4. The first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating table 1. Both the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4 are provided with a fixture 5 for accommodating hardware nuts.

[0019] The output end of the divider 2 is connected to the rotary table 1, driving the rotary table 1 to rotate intermittently on the horizontal plane, thereby realizing the interchange of the positions of the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4, and thus achieving the purpose of synchronous loading and unloading. That is, after the hardware nuts of the jig 5 in the first placement fixture 3 are loaded, they can be rotated to the side of the second placement fixture 4 by the divider 2 for unloading. Simultaneously, the hardware nuts of the jig 5 in the second placement fixture 4 are also unloaded, and the divider 2 rotates to the side of the first placement fixture 3 for loading. In other words, the positions of the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4 can be interchanged, so that loading and unloading are carried out synchronously.

[0020] The rotary table 1 is equipped with a sliding first platform 6 and a second platform 7. A first placement fixture 3 is mounted on the first platform 6, and a second placement fixture 4 is mounted on the second platform 7. The first platform 6 is connected to a first traction mechanism 8, and the second platform 7 is connected to a second traction mechanism 9. Driven by these two traction mechanisms, the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 move in opposite directions during loading or unloading, increasing the distance between the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4; when the rotary table 1 rotates, the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 move towards each other, reducing the overall space occupied. In this embodiment, the first traction mechanism 8 and the second traction mechanism 9 can be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic cylinder. These traction mechanisms are selected according to actual working requirements. They can provide stable driving force and control the movement of the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 to realize the adjustment of the distance and spatial position of the material platform under different working conditions, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire material platform.

[0021] In this embodiment, the divider 2 drives the rotary table 1 to rotate intermittently by an angle of 180°, which allows the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4 to interchange positions. That is, one side of the material platform is used as the loading area, and the other side is used as the unloading area.

[0022] The first storage fixture 3 and the second storage fixture 4 are detachably connected to the first platform 6 and the second platform 7, respectively. This detachable connection method not only facilitates the installation, disassembly, and replacement of the fixtures, but also accommodates the need for the first storage fixture 3 / second storage fixture 4 to be raised and lowered relative to the first platform 6 / second platform 7.

[0023] A horizontal anti-displacement sliding mechanism is provided between the first storage fixture 3 / second storage fixture 4 and the first platform 6 / second platform 7. Specifically, it includes an insert 10 located at the bottom of the first storage fixture 3 / second storage fixture 4, with a plurality of first ball bearings 1001 arranged circumferentially on the insert 10; the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 are respectively provided with insertion holes 11 that mate with the insert 10. When the first storage fixture 3 / second storage fixture 4 is placed on the first platform 6 / second platform 7, the insert 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 11. This design not only ensures the detachable connection between the storage fixture and the platform, but also reduces the friction between the insert 10 and the insertion hole 11 by the rolling of the first ball bearings 1001 within the insertion hole 11 during insertion, thus making insertion or removal smooth.

[0024] As another improved embodiment, the plug-in 10 can also be a pneumatic quick-locking device. The first platform 6 and the second platform 7 are respectively provided with insertion accessories that correspond to the quick-locking device. When the quick-locking device is installed into the corresponding insertion accessory, it can be locked, thereby allowing the first storage fixture 3 / second storage fixture 4 to be stably fixed on the first platform 6 / second platform 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, a plurality of cylinders 12 are evenly arranged around the outer periphery of the divider 2, with the piston rods of the cylinders 12 facing upwards. A second ball bearing 13 is provided at the top of the piston rod of each cylinder 12, and the second ball bearing 13 contacts the bottom surface of the rotary table 1. When the divider 2 drives the rotary table 1 to rotate, the cylinders 12 provide auxiliary support to the rotary table 1 through the second ball bearing 13, enhancing the stability of the rotary table 1, reducing swaying and offset during rotation, and ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the material platform operation.

[0026] The first storage fixture 3 and the second storage fixture 4 are equipped with two jigs 5 and an assembly position 301 in which the jigs 5 are placed. A locking device is also provided next to the assembly position 301, including but not limited to pneumatic latches, electromagnetic locks, or manual quick-clamp mechanisms. These locking devices are used to lock the jigs 5 onto the first storage fixture 3 and the second storage fixture 4 or to unlock them. In this way, the jigs 5 can be easily installed and removed, while ensuring that the jigs 5 will not loosen or shift during operation, thus ensuring good stability.

[0027] An integrated guide rail is installed on the rotary table 1, and sliders are installed below the first platform 6 and the second platform 7, which are slidably connected to the integrated guide rail. This structural design allows the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 to slide smoothly on the rotary table 1, realizing opposite movements during loading or unloading and opposite movements during rotation of the rotary table 1, thereby meeting the space adjustment needs of the material platform under different working states.

[0028] When loading is required, the first traction mechanism 8 and the second traction mechanism 9 drive the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 to move in opposite directions, increasing the distance between the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4, facilitating operation. When the rotary table 1 rotates, the first platform 6 and the second platform 7 move closer together, reducing the space occupied and allowing the rotary table 1 to smoothly switch work positions. The divider 2 drives the rotary table 1 to rotate, causing the first placement fixture 3 and the second placement fixture 4 to switch between the loading and unloading areas, achieving synchronous loading and unloading.

[0029] This extendable rotating material platform uses the intermittent rotation of the rotary table 1 to switch the positions of the first loading fixture 3 and the second loading fixture 4, which helps to synchronize loading and unloading, avoiding the waiting time in the loading and unloading process of traditional equipment. Workers can load materials onto one loading fixture while unloading materials onto the other, greatly improving production efficiency, saving time and costs, and increasing capacity and profitability.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
