Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of workpiece storage, and in particular to a storage silo for intelligent mold production. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more industrial manufacturing is becoming automated to improve production efficiency. After production, glass molds require specific carriers for storage to facilitate unloading.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that existing storage containers require manual labor or the use of conveyor belts to move the container, followed by the use of robotic arms to place glass molds one by one into the container. Once the container is full, it is removed to unload the workpieces, and this process is repeated to achieve workpiece unloading and storage. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the efficiency of workpiece feeding and processing, this application provides a storage bin for intelligent mold production.

[0005] The intelligent mold production storage bin provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A storage bin for intelligent mold production includes a base plate, a support frame, connecting crossbars, and a support plate. The support frame is vertically connected to the top surface of the base plate, and the connecting crossbars are horizontally connected to the support frame. Several connecting crossbars are arranged parallel to each other on the support frame. One support plate is horizontally slidably connected to each of the connecting crossbars. The support frame is provided with a driving component for driving the support plate to move along the length direction of the connecting crossbars.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when unloading glass molds, one of the support plates slides to the side of the robotic arm. The glass molds are then placed one by one onto the adjacent support plate using either manual labor or the robotic arm. When the support plate is full, it moves to the other end of the support frame under the drive of the driving component, thus storing the workpieces. Simultaneously, another empty support plate moves along the length of the connecting crossbar to the side of the robotic arm under the drive of the driving component, facilitating uninterrupted loading and storage of workpieces. Through the cooperation of several connecting crossbars and support plates, uninterrupted receiving and unloading of workpieces is achieved, which helps improve the production efficiency of the device and the automation level of the storage silo. The cooperation of the base plate, support frame, connecting crossbars, and support plates enables uninterrupted unloading, bearing, and storage of glass molds, improving the efficiency of workpiece unloading and processing.

[0007] Optionally, the support plate is provided with a plurality of support fixtures, each of which includes a mounting plate, a limiting rod, and support rollers. The mounting plate is connected to the support plate via a connector. Two limiting rods are vertically connected to the top surface of the mounting plate, and a plurality of support rollers are rotatably arranged on the top surface of the mounting plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the glass mold is placed above several corresponding support rollers, and two corresponding limit rods are located on opposite sides of the glass mold, thereby limiting the glass mold. The setting of the support fixture reduces the stability of the glass mold on the support plate during the movement of the support plate, and reduces the possibility of the glass mold falling off the support plate during the movement of the support plate.

[0009] Optionally, there are two vertically and parallel support frames, with the connecting crossbars on the two support frames corresponding to each other, and a plurality of support plates slidably disposed between the corresponding connecting crossbars on the two support frames.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sets of support frames and connecting crossbars support and guide the opposite sides of the support plate, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the support plate and reducing the possibility of the support plate swaying during movement.

[0011] Optionally, a positioning detection sensor is provided at the end of the connecting crossbar, and the detection end of the positioning detection sensor is positioned facing the other bracket frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning detection sensor detects the movement position of the support plate, which facilitates the driving of each support plate as needed.

[0013] Optionally, an extension plate is vertically provided at the end of the connecting crossbar. The bracket frame includes two vertical sections and a horizontal section connecting the tops of the two vertical sections. The extension plate is fitted to the corresponding vertical section. The extension plate is provided with mounting screw holes. Several connecting screw holes are provided on the vertical section along the vertical direction. Connecting bolts are connected to the mounting screw holes and the corresponding connecting screw holes.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, for different glass molds, the mounting screw holes on the extension plate are matched with the corresponding connecting screw holes on the vertical section, and the extension plate and the support frame are connected by connecting bolts, which realizes the adjustment of the height of the connecting crossbar and the adjustment of the distance between adjacent support plates, thus helping to improve the applicability of the device.

[0015] Optionally, a guide rail is provided on the connecting crossbar along its length, a sliding strip is slidably provided on the guide rail, and a plug strip is connected to the sliding strip. A plug groove is opened on the side of the plug strip away from the bracket frame along its length. The two opposite sides of the support plate correspond one-to-one with the plug grooves of the two plug strips and are slidably connected.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding strip is slidably set on the guide rail, and the setting of the plug strip and plug groove realizes the detachable connection between the support plate and the connecting crossbar, which makes it easy to pull out the support plate loaded with glass molds as a whole for unloading or transfer.

[0017] Optionally, a buffer damping rod is provided at the end of the connecting crossbar along its length direction. The buffer damping rod is correspondingly provided with the support plate along its length direction. The buffer damping rod includes a buffer sleeve rod and a buffer slide rod. The buffer sleeve rod is connected to the connecting crossbar. One end of the buffer slide rod is slidably disposed in the buffer sleeve rod. The buffer sleeve rod is filled with inert gas. An abutment pad is connected to the end of the buffer slide rod near the support plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support plate moves to one end near the length of the support frame under the driving action of the driving component, the abutment pad contacts the support plate, and the buffer damping rod buffers the support plate, reducing the possibility of the glass mold set on it shaking due to hard contact between the support plate and the support frame.

[0019] Optionally, the base plate is provided with a number of self-locking casters.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the self-locking casters facilitate the movement and fixation of the entire device. After the material is unloaded, the entire device can be moved away for storage, avoiding taking up too much workspace.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Through the cooperation of the base plate, support frame, connecting crossbar and support plate, the glass mold can be continuously fed, supported and stored, which can improve the feeding and processing efficiency of the workpiece; 2. The design of the support fixture reduces the possibility of the glass mold falling off the support plate during movement; 3. The extension plate and connectors enable adjustment of the spacing between adjacent support plates, which helps to improve the applicability of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be further described in detail below. Embodiments of this application provide a storage hopper for intelligent mold production, which improves the efficiency of workpiece unloading and processing.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 A storage silo for intelligent mold production includes a base plate 1, a support frame 2, a support plate 3, a connecting crossbar 4, and a support fixture 5. The bottom surface of the base plate 1 is equipped with several self-locking casters 20. Two support frames 2 are vertically arranged on the top surface of the base plate 1, and the two support frames 2 are arranged parallel to each other. Each support frame 2 includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. Two vertical sections are vertically arranged, and the horizontal section is horizontally connected between the top ends of the corresponding two vertical sections.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 Several connecting crossbars 4 are horizontally connected to each bracket frame 2, and both ends of the connecting crossbars 4 are connected to two corresponding vertical sections. An extension plate 7 is vertically connected to the end of the connecting crossbar 4. The extension plate 7 has two mounting screw holes 71, and several connecting screw holes 8 are provided along the vertical direction on the vertical part. The mounting screw holes 71 correspond to two of the connecting screw holes 8 and are connected by connecting bolts.

[0029] Reference Figure 2Several connecting crossbars 4 on the two support frames 2 are arranged one-to-one in the horizontal direction. A guide rail 9 is provided along the length of each of the two corresponding connecting crossbars 4 that are close to each other. A sliding strip 10 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 9, and an insertion strip 11 is provided on the top surface of the sliding strip 10. An insertion groove 111 is provided along the length of the insertion strip 11. One end of the insertion groove 111 is flush with one end of the insertion strip 11 in the length direction. A support plate 3 is arranged horizontally between each of the two corresponding connecting crossbars 4. The two opposite sides of the support plate 3 are arranged one-to-one with the two insertion strips 11. The edge of the support plate 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 111 of the corresponding insertion strip 11. A positioning pin 12 is vertically inserted into the insertion strip 11. The positioning pin 12 abuts against the side of the support plate 3 to limit the position of the support plate 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 A drive motor 13 is installed at one end of the connecting crossbar 4. A drive screw 14 is driven and connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 13. The drive screw 14 is arranged along the length direction of the connecting crossbar 4. A connecting plate 15 is connected to the plug strip 11, and the connecting plate 15 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 14. The supporting fixture 5 is provided with several sets on the top surface of each supporting plate 3. The supporting fixture 5 includes a mounting plate 51, supporting rollers 52, and limiting rods 53. The mounting plate 51 is detachably connected to the top surface of the supporting plate 3 through a connector. Several supporting rollers 52 are rotatably connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 51. Two limiting rods 53 are vertically arranged on the mounting plate 51. When the glass mold is placed on several supporting rollers 52 at the same time, the limiting rods 53 abut against the opposite sides of the glass mold.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A positioning detection sensor 16 is provided at both ends of the connecting crossbar 4, with the detection end of the positioning detection sensor 16 extending towards the corresponding connecting crossbar 4. A buffer damping rod is provided at the end of the connecting crossbar 4 away from the drive motor 13. The buffer damping rod includes a buffer sleeve 17 and a buffer slide rod 18 slidably disposed at one end in the buffer sleeve 17. The buffer sleeve 17 is connected to the connecting crossbar 4. Both the buffer sleeve 17 and the buffer slide rod 18 are arranged along the length direction of the connecting crossbar 4, and the buffer sleeve 17 is filled with inert gas. The end of the buffer slide rod 18 is arranged along the length direction of the connecting crossbar 4 and corresponds to the edge of the support plate 3. An abutment pad 19 is provided at the end of the buffer slide rod 18 away from the buffer sleeve 17. A buffer spring 6 is sleeved on the buffer slide rod 18, with one end of the buffer spring 6 connected to the end of the buffer sleeve 17 and the other end connected to the abutment pad 19.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3When unloading glass molds, the entire device is pushed to the robotic arm at the unloading station. One of the support plates 3 moves to the robotic arm under the action of the drive motor 13, and the positioning detection sensor 16 detects the movement position of the support plate 3 on the connecting crossbar 4. The robotic arm places the glass molds one by one onto the support fixture 5 on the support plate 3. The limiting rod 53 limits the opposite sides of the glass molds. The setting of the support fixture 5 reduces the possibility of the support plate 3 falling off the support plate 3 during the movement.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 After completing the unloading operation on one support plate 3, the support plate 3 moves in the opposite direction under the drive of the drive motor 13, and the other empty support plate 3 moves to the side of the robotic arm, realizing uninterrupted feeding of the glass mold and helping to improve the unloading and storage efficiency of the workpiece. When the support plate 3 moves close to the vertical section, it contacts the abutment block 19, and the buffer damping rod and buffer spring 6 simultaneously buffer the support plate 3, reducing the possibility of the support plate 3 making hard contact with the support frame 2 and causing the workpiece to fall off the support plate 3. The setting of the insertion strip 11 and the insertion slot 111 facilitates the complete removal of the support plate 3 from the insertion strip 11 for transfer after unloading.

[0034] The implementation principle of a storage silo for intelligent mold production in this embodiment is as follows: When unloading glass molds, the entire device is pushed to the side of the robotic arm at the unloading station. One of the support plates 3 moves to the side of the robotic arm, and the positioning detection sensor 16 detects the movement position of the support plate 3 on the connecting crossbar 4. The robotic arm places the glass molds one by one onto the support fixture 5 on the support plate 3. The setting of the support fixture 5 reduces the possibility of the support plate 3 falling off the support plate 3 during the movement.

[0035] After the material is unloaded from one support plate 3, the other empty support plate 3 is moved to the side of the robotic arm to achieve uninterrupted feeding of the glass mold, which helps to improve the efficiency of unloading and storing workpieces.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
