Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf club peg blanking technology, and in particular to an automated golf club peg blanking device. Background Technology

[0002] Golf cleats, as key components connecting the shoe to the ground and providing stable support for the shot, have evolved from traditional materials such as wood and metal to modern polymers. Currently, injection molding has become the dominant preform manufacturing process for the large-scale production of plastic and composite golf cleats. This process involves heating and melting thermoplastic granules to a viscous state, then injecting them into a pre-machined mold cavity. After holding pressure, cooling, and solidification, the cleat preform is demolded to obtain a structurally complete cleat blank.

[0003] However, existing golf club tack injection molding equipment often has taper and anti-slip texture on the bottom of the tacks, which can easily generate a large clamping force between the blank and the mold cavity after molding. The existing ejection system concentrates the ejection force on a local point of the blank, which can easily damage the surface of the tack. If manual demolding is required, it will not only increase the production process and labor costs, but also affect the demolding efficiency and the continuity of automated production. For example, because the ball nail blank is conical and has complex anti-slip textures on the bottom, it generates a huge clamping force with the mold cavity after cooling and shrinkage. Current equipment generally uses a simple linear ejector pin demolding system. This localized high stress can easily cause irreversible damage to blanks made of materials such as nylon, such as surface whitening, internal cracks, or even overall breakage. At the same time, it requires manual demolding by operators. This subsequent process not only increases labor costs and production cycle, but also interrupts the automated production process, seriously restricting the improvement of production efficiency and product yield, becoming a core obstacle to achieving efficient continuous production. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses an automated golf club mortise blanking device, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing golf club mortise injection molding blanking devices often have a large clamping force between the blank and the mold cavity after molding due to the taper and anti-slip texture on the bottom of the mortise.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated golf club peg blanking device includes a frame and guide rods fixedly connected to its left and right sides. Baffles are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the middle section of the frame, and a sliding groove is provided below the baffles. A collection box is placed at the bottom of the frame. The device also includes: a module mechanism: the module mechanism includes fixed modules fixedly connected to the middle section of the frame, each fixed module having a mold hole inside. Sliding modules are slidably connected between the fixed modules. Sliding seats are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of each sliding module. A first hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the top of each sliding module. Corresponding positioning blocks are provided on the mold hole and the surface of the sliding module. A feeding mechanism: the feeding mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, based on the unique conical geometry of the ball nail, a split mold design symmetrically divided along the central axis is used. During operation, the sliding module, driven by the first hydraulic rod, first moves vertically upward along the guide rod until it contacts the bottom of the baffle. This initial movement in a specific direction causes the upper half of the mold cavity to separate directionally from the conical surface of the ball nail. Since the direction of movement is perfectly matched with the slope of the ball nail's mother mold, the anti-slip texture with barbed characteristics on one side can be removed from the mold cavity without damage. After the initial demolding is completed, the sliding module immediately turns and moves downward along the slide groove, allowing the anti-slip texture with barbed characteristics on the other side to be removed from the mold cavity without damage. When the fixed module and the sliding module are completely separated, the ball nail blank naturally falls out of the fixed module due to its own weight and the natural demolding effect generated by the conical structure. The entire demolding process perfectly avoids the concentrated stress generated by the traditional ejection method by decomposing the motion trajectory, realizing the non-damaging, fully automatic demolding of ball nails with complex geometries.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeding mechanism includes a second hydraulic rod fixedly connected to the top of the frame, a material box fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second hydraulic rod, an addition cover rotatably connected to the top right side of the baffle, a feeding hole opened at the bottom of the material box, an electric heating wire provided above the feeding hole, and a feeding plate slidably connected inside the material box.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mold completes the previous process and is in the waiting state, the second hydraulic rod precisely drives the material box to descend vertically along the guide rod. It forms a sealed fitting connection with the top of the fixed module and the sliding module through the special bottom bracket, ensuring that there is no risk of overflow during the feeding process. Then, the heating wire is activated to quickly preheat and soften the plastic granules in the material box. When the lower plate slides laterally through the external drive mechanism so that its preset hole is completely aligned with the bottom feeding hole of the material box, the feeding channel is officially opened. The preheated plastic granules are evenly injected into the mold cavity under the action of gravity. After the quantitative feeding is completed, the lower plate immediately slides in the opposite direction to cut off the material flow, realizing the rapid closure of the feeding hole. At the same time, the heating wire is simultaneously de-energized and stops heating. During the entire mold cavity pressure holding and cooling stage, the material box always remains in a descending state and maintains a sealed connection with the mold until the preform inside the mold is completely solidified and formed. Only then does the second hydraulic rod drive the material box to rise and reset, preparing for the next working cycle.

[0009] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Achieve non-destructive demolding, improve product yield and production efficiency. Based on the conical geometry of the ball nail, a split mold design with symmetrical division along the central axis is adopted, so that the mold separates from the anti-slip texture with barbs on both sides of the ball nail in stages and in sequence, avoiding the concentrated stress generated by the traditional ejection method, and ensuring the integrity of the ball nail blank, especially the fine texture area.

[0010] 2. It realizes a fully enclosed quantitative feeding operation, completely eliminating raw material splashing and waste. The preheating treatment improves the fluidity of plastic granules, making the injection filling more complete, realizing seamless connection between feeding and injection molding processes, and improving the continuity and automation of the production process.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An automated golf tack blanking device includes a frame 1 and guide rods 2 fixedly connected to its left and right sides. Baffles 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the middle of the frame 1. A chute 4 is provided below the baffles 3. A collection box 5 is placed at the bottom of the frame 1. The device also includes: Module mechanism: The module mechanism includes a fixed module 6 fixedly connected to the middle of the frame 1. The fixed module 6 has a mold hole 7 inside. A sliding module 8 is slidably connected between the fixed modules 6. Sliding seats 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the sliding module 8. A first hydraulic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding module 8. Corresponding positioning blocks 11 are provided on the surface of the mold hole 7 and the sliding module 8. Unloading mechanism: The unloading mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1.

[0021] Specifically, during demolding, the first hydraulic rod 10 drives the sliding module 8 to move vertically upward along the guide rod 2 until it contacts the bottom of the baffle 3. This upward movement causes the upper half of the mold cavity of the sliding module 8 to separate from the conical surface and anti-slip texture on one side of the ball nail blank, releasing the clamping force on that side without damage. Subsequently, the sliding module 8 immediately turns and moves downward along the slide groove 4, causing the other half of the mold cavity to completely separate from the complex texture on the other side of the ball nail blank. When the sliding module 8 is completely separated from the fixed module 6, the ball nail blank, which has completed demolding on both sides, falls naturally from the mold hole 7 of the fixed module 6 by its own gravity and falls into the collection box 5, completing the non-destructive, fully automatic demolding and collection of the ball nail blank.

[0022] The fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8 each have corresponding mold holes 7 inside. The mold hole 7 is shaped like a half-ball nail cut open from the front. The mold holes 7 inside the fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8 form a complete ball nail shape. This split design ensures successful film making while facilitating subsequent demolding. The fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8 are precisely fitted together by the positioning block 11. The precise positioning provided by the positioning block 11 ensures the cavity accuracy during mold closing and prevents flash defects.

[0023] Among them, the sliding seat 9 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 2, and the left and right sides of the sliding module 8 are slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 4. The precise cooperation between the sliding seat 9 and the guide rod 2 provides accurate guidance for the vertical movement of the sliding module 8, ensuring that the separation trajectory of the upper mold cavity and the ball nail cone surface is completely matched with the mother mold. The bottom end of the first hydraulic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a second hydraulic rod 12 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, a material box 13 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second hydraulic rod 12, an addition cover 14 rotatably connected to the top right side of the baffle 3, a feeding hole 15 opened at the bottom of the material box 13, an electric heating wire 16 provided above the feeding hole 15, and a feeding plate 17 slidably connected inside the material box 13.

[0025] Specifically, when the mold is in the waiting state, the second hydraulic rod 12 is activated to precisely drive the material box 13 down along the guide rod 2, so that its bottom seat forms a sealed fit with the top of the mold; then the heating wire 16 is activated to preheat and soften the plastic particles in the material box 13. At this time, the feeding plate 17 is pulled and slid laterally, so that its hole is aligned with the feeding hole 15 at the bottom of the material box 13. The preheated plastic particles then flow into the mold cavity under the action of gravity; after the quantitative feeding is completed, the feeding plate 17 immediately slides in the opposite direction to close the feeding channel. At the same time, the heating wire 16 is de-energized and stops heating. During the entire mold cavity pressure holding and cooling stage, the material box 13 is always kept in the descending state to maintain the system seal until the preform is completely cooled and solidified. Only then does the second hydraulic rod 12 lift the material box 13 to reset, preparing for the next working cycle.

[0026] The material box 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 2 on both sides via sliding sleeves. The bottom of the material box 13 is provided with a card seat that can be fitted into the top of the fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8 to ensure its precise positioning during vertical movement. This allows the bottom card seat to be fully fitted into the top of the fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8, effectively preventing material leakage during injection molding and ensuring the airtightness of the injection molding process. The heating wire 16 is fixedly connected inside the material box 13. The heating wire 16 can uniformly preheat and soften the plastic particles, significantly improving the material flowability and filling effect.

[0027] The bottom of the material box 13 has two layers, and the discharge hole 15 is opened on both bottom plates. The discharge plate 17 is slidably connected between the two bottom plates of the material box 13. The surface of the discharge plate 17 has holes that are misaligned with the discharge hole 15. The precise opening and closing control of the discharge channel is realized by the sliding of the discharge plate 17 between the two bottom plates. When the misaligned hole is aligned with the discharge hole 15, a complete flow channel is formed to ensure smooth material flow. When misaligned, a double seal is formed to prevent leakage of injection molding material.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the guide rod 2 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the frame 1 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. The baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the left and right sides of the frame 1. The slide groove 4 is opened on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and the collection box 5 is slidably connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0029] Specifically, the layout of the guide rod 2 forms a stable rigid support frame, while providing a precise guiding reference for the vertical movement of the sliding module 8; the structure of the slide groove 4 on the left and right sides of the frame 1 and the guide rod 2 form a composite guiding system, which together constrains the sliding module 8 to complete a composite demolding trajectory of first vertical and then horizontal.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first open the filling cover 14 and add injection molding granules into the material box 13. After the raw material is placed, the second hydraulic rod 12 drives the material box 13 to descend along the guide rod 2, so that the bottom of the material box 13 forms a sealed fit with the top of the fixed module 6 and the sliding module 8. Then, the heating wire 16 is activated to preheat and soften the plastic granules in the material box 13. When the discharge plate 17 slides laterally to align its holes with the discharge hole 15, the preheated plastic granules flow into the mold hole 7 under the action of gravity. After the quantitative feeding is completed, the discharge plate 17 immediately slides in the opposite direction to close the discharge channel, and the heating wire 16 is simultaneously de-energized. The material box 13 remains in the descending state until the injection molding process is completed. After the injection molding and holding pressure cooling are completed, the second hydraulic rod 12 is driven to reset the material box 13. Then, the first hydraulic rod 10 is activated to drive the sliding module 8 to move vertically upward along the guide rod 2 until it contacts the bottom of the baffle 3, causing the upper half of the mold cavity of the sliding module 8 to separate from the conical surface and anti-slip texture on one side of the ball nail blank. Subsequently, the sliding module 8 immediately turns and moves downward along the slide groove 4, causing the other half of the mold cavity to completely separate from the complex texture on the other side of the ball nail blank. When the sliding module 8 is completely separated from the fixed module 6, the ball nail blank, which has completed demolding on both sides, naturally falls out of the mold hole 7 of the fixed module 6 by its own gravity and falls into the collection box 5.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
