Description

[0002] In the production and processing of industries such as ceramics and building materials, the molding press is the core equipment for molding slurry-like raw materials. It forms modules with specific shapes by quantitatively loading the raw materials into the mold cavity and forming them through molding and other processes. It is the basis for subsequent processes such as drilling and stacking, and has a decisive impact on key quality indicators such as the product's shape accuracy and density uniformity, as well as production efficiency.

[0003] However, in existing molding production, the raw material supply process mostly relies on manual picking and weighing with electronic scales before being added to the mold cavity one by one. This not only results in extremely low efficiency and high labor intensity for workers, but also makes it difficult to guarantee quantitative accuracy. At the same time, existing molding machines often suffer from low levels of automation integration in their processes. Steps such as loading, molding, punching, and stacking often rely on manual operation or only a single step is automated, leading to poor process coordination and low production efficiency. To address these issues, we provide an automated molding machine to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment of the present invention, an automated molding machine includes a main frame 1. Movable rails 3 are provided on both sides of the main frame 1, and a sliding material platform 18 is provided between the two movable rails 3. The sliding material platform 18 has several material slots, and a feeding mechanism is provided at the bottom of each material slot. A sliding component is provided at the bottom of the sliding material platform 18, which drives the sliding material platform 18 to move within the movable rails 3. A feeding device is provided on one side of the upper end of the main frame 1 for quantitatively loading material into the material slots of the sliding material platform 18. The movable rails 3 are fixed parallel to both sides of the main frame 1, forming a horizontal moving guide path for the sliding material platform 18. The sliding component at the bottom of the sliding material platform 18 can be a gear and rack mechanism driven by a servo motor for movement. During movement, after receiving instructions from the programmable control system, it can drive the sliding material platform 18 to move along the movable rails 3.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding device includes a storage hopper 12, which is mounted on the main frame 1 near the auxiliary frame 17 via a frame. A feed pump 13 is installed at the lower end of the storage hopper 12, and the output end of the feed pump 13 is connected to the feed inlet of the storage hopper 12. A storage hopper quantity limit sensor switch 10 is installed on the upper truss of the storage hopper 12. A stirring mechanism 11 for stirring the inside of the storage hopper 12 is also installed on the upper truss of the storage hopper 12. The stirring mechanism 11 includes a stirring motor, which is installed in the storage hopper 12. In the middle of the upper truss, a stirring shaft is installed at the output end of the stirring motor, and stirring blades are provided on the stirring shaft. The feed pump 13 pumps the slurry-like raw material into the storage hopper 12. The storage hopper quantity limit sensor switch 10 monitors the storage quantity in real time. When the raw material is insufficient, the feed pump is triggered to replenish the material. When the hopper is full, the replenishment stops, realizing automatic control of the storage quantity. At the same time, the stirring motor of the stirring mechanism 11 drives the stirring shaft and stirring blades to rotate, continuously stirring the raw material in the storage hopper to prevent it from hardening and clumping, ensuring the uniformity and fluidity of the raw material, and providing a stable raw material for subsequent quantitative feeding.

[0024] Please see Figure 1The discharge port of the storage hopper 12 is connected to a quantitative discharge mechanism. The quantitative discharge mechanism includes a second transverse module 19. Both ends of the second transverse module 19 are fixedly connected to side frames. The bottom of the side frames is fixedly connected to the main frame 1. The moving end of the second transverse module 19 is fixedly connected to a single-head quantitative feeder 5. The input end of the single-head quantitative feeder 5 is connected to the discharge port of the storage hopper 12. The discharge end of the single-head quantitative feeder 5 is connected to a downward guide pipe. The second transverse module 19 drives the single-head quantitative feeder 5 to move horizontally. At the same time, it cooperates with the movement of the sliding platform 18 along the moving track 3 so that the discharge port of the single-head quantitative feeder 5 can be aligned with different forming material troughs on the sliding platform 18. During discharge, the raw material in the storage hopper 12 enters the single-head quantitative feeder 5. After the feeder completes the discharge according to the set amount, it discharges the raw material into the corresponding material trough through the lower guide pipe to achieve quantitative feeding.

[0025] Meanwhile, the single-head quantitative feeder 5 can be replaced with a multi-head quantitative feeder 5 to suit large-volume production conditions.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 A carriage platform 20 is slidably connected between the two moving tracks 3. The carriage platform 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding material table 18. The carriage platform 20 is provided with several slides for placing modules. A pushing platform 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the main frame 1. The pushing platform 9 is provided with a punching device for punching the modules. The punching device includes a module punching machine 8. The module punching machine 8 is installed at the end of the pushing platform 9 away from the sub-frame 17 and is used to punch the modules. One end of the frame 17 is provided with a pusher cylinder 6 for gradually pushing the module towards the sub-frame 17. The main frame 1 is also provided with a pusher mechanism for pushing the module on the slide platform 20 to the punching position of the module punching machine 8. The slide platform 20 moves synchronously with the sliding material table 18. The slide rail on it carries the forming module. The pusher mechanism pushes the module in the slide rail to the module punching machine 8 on the pusher platform 9. After punching is completed, the pusher cylinder 6 gradually pushes the module towards the sub-frame 17, realizing the automated transfer and processing of the module from forming to punching.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 The pushing mechanism includes a first transverse module 7, with end frames fixedly connected to both ends of the first transverse module 7. The lower end of the end frame is fixedly connected to the main frame 1. A push plate 2 is fixedly connected to the actuating end of the first transverse module 7. A guide plate that cooperates with the slide rail on the carriage platform 20 is provided on one side of the module punching machine 8. The first transverse module 7 drives the push plate 2 to move, pushing the module in the slide rail of the carriage platform 20 along the guide plate to the punching position of the module punching machine 8. The guide plate ensures accurate alignment when the module is transferred, realizing the automatic transfer of the module from the carriage platform 20 to the punching station.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 The main frame 1 has a secondary frame 17 located on the side near the feeding device. The secondary frame 17 is equipped with a palletizing device for stacking punched modules. The palletizing device includes a palletizing platform 15, which is fixedly connected to the secondary frame 17 opposite to the pushing platform 9. The upper surface of the palletizing platform 15 is in contact with the upper surface of the pushing platform 9. A turnover platform 16 is located at the lower end of the secondary frame 17, and a palletizing robot 14 is located at the upper end of the secondary frame 17 for stacking modules pushed onto the palletizing platform 15 onto the turnover platform 16. Punched modules are pushed from the pushing platform 9 to the palletizing platform 15, with their upper surfaces connected to ensure smooth transfer. The palletizing robot 14 at the upper end of the secondary frame 17 grasps the modules on the palletizing platform 15 and stacks them onto the turnover platform 16 at the lower end according to a set rule for subsequent turnover.

[0029] The end of the moving track 3 away from the sub-frame 17 is provided with a molding host 4 for cooperating with the sliding material table 18; the lower end faces of the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 17 are both provided with adjustable support feet; the molding host 4 at the end of the moving track 3 away from the sub-frame 17, after the sliding material table 18 is moved to the corresponding position along the moving track 3, works in coordination with the sliding material table 18 to mold the raw material loaded in the mold table to form a module.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During operation, the input end of the feed pump 13 is connected to the feeding system, pumping the slurry-like raw material into the storage hopper 12. The storage hopper quantity limit sensor switch 10 monitors the storage quantity in the storage hopper 12 in real time. When the raw material is insufficient, the feed pump 13 is triggered to replenish the material. When the storage is full, the feed pump 13 is controlled to stop, realizing automatic storage control. At the same time, the stirring motor of the stirring mechanism 11 drives the stirring shaft and stirring blade to rotate, continuously stirring the raw material in the storage hopper 12 to prevent the raw material from hardening and clumping, ensuring the uniformity and flowability of the raw material. Then, the sliding component at the bottom of the sliding platform 18 drives the sliding platform 18 to move along the moving tracks 3 on both sides of the main frame 1 to the feeding position. The second transverse module 19 drives the single-head quantitative feeder 5, which is fixedly connected to its action end, to move horizontally, so that the guide pipe connected to the discharge end of the single-head quantitative feeder 5 is precisely aligned with the material trough on the sliding platform 18, and the raw material in the storage hopper 12 is released. The raw material enters the single-head quantitative feeder 5 through its discharge port. The single-head quantitative feeder 5 discharges the raw material into the material trough of the sliding platform 18 through the guide pipe according to the set amount, completing the quantitative loading. After the loading is completed, the sliding component drives the sliding platform 18 to move along the moving track 3 to the molding host 4 at the end of the moving track 3 away from the sub-frame 17. After the sliding platform 18 moves to the molding host 4, its bottom feeding mechanism is activated, releasing the raw material in the material trough into the molding mold of the molding host 4. After the feeding is completed, the sliding platform 18 moves away along the moving track 3, and the pressing head assembly of the molding host 4 moves down to apply the set pressure to the raw material, so that the raw material is densely formed into a module in the mold. After the pressure is held for a set time, the pressing head moves up to reset, lifting the molded module away from the bottom mold. Then, the slide platform 20 moves with the sliding platform 18 to the position of the molding host 4. The molding host 4 performs the demolding action, and the molded module falls into the slide rail of the slide platform 20. Subsequently, the sliding assembly drives the carriage platform 20 to move away from the molding station. The slide rail on the carriage platform 20 carries the molding module. The first transverse module 7 drives the push plate 2, which is fixedly connected to its moving end, to move, pushing the module in the slide rail of the carriage platform 20 along the guide plate provided on one side of the module punching machine 8 to the module punching machine 8 on the pushing platform 9. The module punching machine 8 starts to punch the module. After punching is completed, the push cylinder 6 extends and gradually pushes the module towards the sub-frame 17. Then, the punched module is pushed to the palletizing platform 15 by the pushing platform 9. The palletizing robot 14 provided at the upper end of the sub-frame 17 starts to grab the module on the palletizing platform 15 and stacks the module onto the turnover platform 16 provided at the lower end of the sub-frame 17 according to the preset rules, completing the turnover preparation of the module.

Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one technical solution. This method of description is merely for clarity.
