1/4 "INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR PRODUCTION IN ROTOMOLDING EQUIPMENT"

Introduction [001] This Utility Model patent application refers to an “INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR PRODUCTION IN ROTOMOLDING EQUIPMENT”, especially a platform that guarantees the employee a safe operation, since it is protected by guardrails and baseboards , and ergonomic since it is within reach of rotational molding molds for carrying out all manual activities of the production of water reservoirs, as well as pre-defined dosing means, weighing, painting and cap and body storage of the final product.

Field of Application [002] The innovative platform has as its field of application the use in an industrial process for the transformation of thermoplastics, more specifically water reservoirs.

State of the art [003] The current state of the art anticipates some patent documents dealing with machines for the molding of thermo-fuse raw materials such as PI 9303562-4 entitled Improvement in a Rotomoulding machine that comprises sets of rotational molds, fixed in structures that allow them to perform two simultaneous movements, in spite of the support structure for rotation and the support structure for translation, in which they move in a rotation radius at the stations, defined stop points for the following process sequence: station loading and reloading, oven, cooling station, demoulding station. The translation support structure comprises the cars provided with mechanical supports for the rotation support structure, to which the molds are attached. The trolleys allow the activation of the rotation support structure by moving over the tracks and / or industrial bearing rails in the center of the stations or stopping points defined for the rotational molding process.

[004] The preceding above requires that the mold operator exerts the mold release in an ergonomically incorrect position in a totally arcuate and uncomfortable way under the mold spider.

2/4 [005] BR 10 2013 0234060 entitled Rotomolding Mold Positioning System - includes a mobile platform that keeps the operator at the ideal height for demoulding, ensuring safety and preventing accidents, in addition to improving the positioning of the molds, which achieves an increase in the number of molds in the arm and consequently an increase in productivity. The system also changed the fixation of the molds next to the arm and the fixation of the lid of the molds that received screws, thus avoiding leaks.

[006] The above above improves the work ergonomics and contact with the mold, reducing the risk of accidents, allowing a better adaptation of the molds on the rotomoulding machine arm, which includes a greater number of molds per arm. Also, the final product to be removed from the mold is destined for the next steps by safe means.

Objectives of the innovation [007] The objective of the present innovation is to propose a fixed and stable platform that integrates the entire system and equipment used in the rotational molding of water reservoirs, which keeps the operator at an ideal height to carry out all the manual activities of the process: access fully controlled to the molds by automatic activation of a weighbridge / logo painting machine / final product weighing scale / reservoir lid stacking pit / body stacking pit, and on the upper floor, semi-automatic dosing structure and supply of material -Press during the mold filling step, eliminating the use of buckets for manual filling.

[008] The objective of this innovation is to propose a platform completely protected with guardrails and baseboards, access stairs with handrails and access from the middle floor to the upper floor by means of a sailor-type ladder.

Innovation summary [009] The "INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR PRODUCTION IN ROTOMOLDING EQUIPMENT" object of this patent application allows a logical sequence of activities with the equipment and control panels positioned on the platform structure, despite the control and drive panel of the cars and arms, the automatic painting machine, the finished product scale, finished product pits and the HMI panel of the supply system doser. In this way, the integrated platform allows a condition

3/4 logical, sequential and safe production operation for the rotational molding process as a whole, that is, with the start of demoulding, cutting and removing product burrs (body and cover), weighing, stacking of lids, painting the logo in the reservoir body by an automatic machine and its subsequent stacking in the pit lateral to the pit intended for the lids, the cycle ending the cycle for the final product and so on.

Advantages of innovation [010] In short, the present innovation has the most predominant advantages:

V Eliminates the operation with the use of a fall arrest device providing greater comfort and better ergonomics to the operator;

V Ensures ergonomics and safety with the project's premise the platform fully within the rules relevant to the risks of falls;

V The operation of the tipping system (safety device set) is according to the equipment's programming, avoiding movement without control in the process;

V The standardization of operations carried out on the platform guarantees a logic and sequence of activities of the process as a whole, from demoulding to stacking the finished product, with safety, ergonomics and quality.

Detailed description of the invention [012] The “INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR PRODUCTION IN ROTOMOLDING EQUIPMENT”, object of this utility model patent application, comprises a fixed platform (1) with stair entry (2) with handrail (3) to a intermediate floor (4) where the operator (O) has access to the spider with the molds (5), capable of semi-automatic dosing of raw material through silo (6)

4/4 supplied by the upper floor (7), and this fixed platform (1) allows a logical sequence of demoulding, cutting and removing burrs from the body (8) and the cover (9), weighing on a scale (10) and stacking in specific pits (11 and 12), not without first painting the logo on the body (8) of the reservoir in an automatic machine (13).

[013] More particularly, the innovation consists of a fixed platform (1) whose integration with equipment and panels allows the realization of all manual activities of the production of water tanks, body (8) and cover (9), in a sequence activity logic, as well as semi-automatic dosing means of raw material by means of a silo (6) supplied by the upper floor (7), weighing on a scale (10), the stacking in the pit (11) for the lid (9) and pit (12) for body (8) those submitted to painting the logo on an automatic machine (13) located on the intermediate floor (4) accessed by stairs (2) with handrails (3). On this intermediate floor (4), as well as on the upper floor (7), where there is also a baseboard (14), the operator (O) works in an ergonomically correct way and has full access to the molds (5) in a controlled way by the drive a weighbridge (15) and a central gate (16) adjacent to the scale (10). In general operation, with the start of a release cycle, the operator (O), as already mentioned, at the ideal time to carry out the task and with safe and controlled access guaranteed by the activation of the weighbridge (15) with a secure interlocking device with the central gate (16) electromechanically related to the rotational molding machine / molds (5), so that the movement of the carriage and arm will only be allowed if the central gate (16) is closed and locked (magnetic safety lock). There is also an optical barrier that ensures that the movement of the molds (5) is only possible according to a minimum distance from the operator. Thus, the demoulding operation follows, then going on to cut and remove burrs for later weighing of the finished product on the scale (10), and in the case of caps (9) these are stacked in the pit (11), to then paint the body (8) of the reservoir in the automatic painting machine (13) and then deposit it in the pit (12). In this context, there is a sequence with the supply, dosed semi-automatically, of the molds (5) with the raw material by means of a silo (6) located on the upper floor (7) that has its safe access for maintenance through sailor ladder (17).
