Specific embodiment
Injection molding machine be used to produce plastic mould, and usually this machine includes that the mold of also referred to as tool is fixed Pressing plate on it.In some known injection molding machines, the regulating device of such as cooling device is connected on displacable platen With adjusting (for example, cooling) moulded parts.It is understood that maintaining between regulating device and the template for being attached to fixation clip Be properly aligned with for equipment life and component processing may be important.In general, via physical unit (for example, pin or socket) It completes to be aligned, which can be attached at cooling device during alignment protocol and rise between template, but be removable 's.
Applicants have realized that by provided between device after the moulding (for example, coldplate and rise template) it is non-contact, Alignment in real time and alignment monitoring, may be implemented various advantages.Applicant has further realized that, can be by making in machine Used time monitors the alignment of these post-mold devices to realize advantage, allows to correct the misalignment of any discovery.In this way, herein Disclosed embodiment includes non-contact alignment and alignment monitoring system with molding post regulator, the molding post regulator point There is multiple parallel alignment sensors and receiver not in the respective side of the first and second post-mold devices.The adjuster also wraps Include multiple theta alignment sensors and the corresponding receiver being located in respective side.Feedback from sensor is sent to control Device processed, the controller can in use monitoring device alignment, and when there are misalignment to operator provide prompting.Such as It will describe, controller assesses the parallel alignment and theta alignment of post-mold devices.
For the purpose of this paper, mould post regulator alignment may include it is vertical parallel alignment, horizontal parallel alignment and Theta alignment.As shown in Figure 1A and Fig. 9, for example, vertical parallel be directed at the vertical axis that may mean that post-mold devices 102,104 Line A3a, A3b are parallel to each other.Figure 1B and Fig. 9 shows horizontal parallel alignment, wherein the longitudinal axis of post-mold devices 102,104 A1a, A1b are parallel to each other.Fig. 1 C and Fig. 9 show theta alignment, and wherein sensor and corresponding receiver are in overlapping relation.Such as Shown in Fig. 9, in theta alignment, by the surface plane that plenum chamber/coldplate axis A1a and A3a are limited can be parallel to by Play the surface plane that the axis A1b and A3b of template are limited.As shown in figure 9, in theta alignment, coldplate and the rotation for playing template Shaft axis A4a, A4b can be parallel to each other.In some embodiments, axis A1b, A2b, A3b, the A4b for playing template 437 keep permanent It is fixed, and axis A1a, A2a, A3a, A4a of coldplate 443 can be relative to its changes.That is, in some embodiments, Rise template can be it is relatively-stationary, and coldplate during use may be easier occur misalignment.
It is understood that depending on the circumstances, adjuster can have multiple alignment points or misalignment point.For example, adjuster It can have vertical parallel alignment and theta alignment, but there is horizontal parallel misalignment.Adjuster can also be aligned completely, tool There are vertical parallel alignment, horizontal parallel alignment and theta alignment or can be aligned completely, there is vertical parallel misalignment, level Parallel misalignment and angular misalignment.
According on one side, providing contactless alignment a possibility that reducing mistake and any resulting Equipment damage and/or mechanical breakdown.For example, contactless system eliminates operator respectively before executing each alignment procedures A possibility that installing and/or remove alignment plug is forgotten later.Therefore, if system does not use traditional alignment plug, just It can not occur to be directed at plug and play the collision between template.It is contactless that Barebone is also inadequately pacified reduction operator Dress plenum chamber/plate and a possibility that play a template (for example, misalignment they or be not affixed to specified torque).
Alignment monitoring in real time can permit due to incorrect installation and detect in advance incorrect according to another aspect, Installation and/or mechanical breakdown.Without wishing to be bound by theory or even small angular misalignment may aggravate and may lead Cause the interference between (for example, between socket and cooling pin) component.For example, as shown in figure 8, being attached to filling for mobile pressing plate 841 The rearview of gas chamber 810 was once rotating and is being enough to cause the movement of cooling pin 844 away from the about 600mm of erection joint 860, for example, Relative to the line labeled as M and cause interference between pin 844 and preformed member 852.In some embodiments, rotation can make Inflatable bar 844 moves about 10mm.In extreme situations, when use has the prior art alignment pin of mounted plug When, alignment pin may collide in opposite plate, split so as to cause plate.Without wishing to be bound by theory, it can prevent from setting Standby damage (for example, tool collision, servo-drive overload and motor overtemperature), and can be by using described herein right Machine stopping time and/or cycle interruption are prevented when quasi- monitoring system by early detection minimum or even.
Fig. 2A and Fig. 2 B is shown with being attached to the processing unit 239 (for example, cooling device) of mobile pressing plate 241 and attached It is connected to the injection molding machine 200 of the prior art for playing template 237 of fixation clip 232.As shown in Figure 2 B, processing unit 239 is mounted on On the hollow cylinder 240 of 241 side of displacable platen, so that cylindrical body/actuator 242 makes processing unit 239 around level Axis is rotated by 90 °.Cylinder is pivotably mounted on the adjutage 250 for being fastened to displacable platen 241.Cylinder 240 is hollow To allow air flow to cooling pin.
Processing unit 239 has multiple coolings/transfer pin 244 (via plenum chamber and plate, for example, coldplate 243 is attached), And playing template 237 has multiple preformed member brackets 238.In use, when displacable platen 241 is mobile to open mold When, it plays template 237 and is moved linearly by along the arrow S between half module, to take out the preformed member newly moulded to one group from mold core On preformed member bracket 238.Then, the position that template 237 is linearly moved on the outside of half module is played.When displacable platen 241 along Towards the movement of the direction of fixation clip with Guan Bi mould and when moulding one group of new preformed member, processing unit 239 is (that is, cold But plate) it is mobile to have engaged pattern carrier 238 via cooling/transfer pin 244 simultaneously.In the bonding station, cooling fluid (example Such as, air) inside of preformed member can be discharged to from cooling pin 244.It is understood that all pins 244 all do not need Cooling fluid is discharged into preformed member.In some embodiments, one or more pins are (for example, each third in the group Or the 4th pin) can be extraction pin.For example, when the mobile movement of pressing plate 241 is to open mold, from the preforming of bracket 238 Part can be fetched on cooling/transfer pin 244 by vacuum plant.When mobile pressing plate 241 reaches its fully open position, place Reason device 239 is rotated around trunnion axis, to allow the component of molding and cooling to fall on conveyer belt (not shown).
As shown in Figure 3A, in some known systems, rise the alignment of template and coldplate via with rise in template 337 The alignment plug 302 that corresponding opening 304 engages is completed.In such embodiments, alignment plug 302 is initially mounted on coldplate On one or more alignment pins 306 of (for example, plate 343).When playing template and coldplate moves towards each other, it is directed at plug 302 can engage with opening 304, by coldplate relative to template in desired position alignment.Once plate is aligned, it Can away from each other, allow plug 302 from pin 306 remove.As previously mentioned, being likely to occur in installation/removal plug Mistake, this may have an adverse effect to molding post regulator and moulded parts.
Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B show the molding post regulator 400 according to one aspect.As shown, molding post regulator 400 have the plenum chamber 410 and plate 443 (for example, coldplate) for being attached to displacable platen (not shown), and are attached to static 437 (not shown) of template is played on pressing plate.It is understood that plenum chamber 410 may include blowing motor, by cooling fluid (for example, air) is blown into cooling pin 444 and enters the inside of the preformed member conveyed by bracket 438.It is also connected to coldplate 443 are in alignment with pin 406.
As shown in Figure 4 A, in one embodiment, parallel alignment sensor 412a, 412b are attached to the remote of alignment pin 406 End.Corresponding receiver 414a, 414b have been located in template 437 and respectively with parallel alignment sensor 412a, 412b at faces To relationship.It is understood that although parallel alignment sensor 412a, 412b are located on alignment pin 406 and connect accordingly Device 414a, 414b is received to be located in template, but in other embodiments, which can overturn.That is, sensor It can be located in template together with the correspondence receiver on positioning pin.As will be appreciated by, in some embodiments In, parallel alignment sensor or receiver can be attached directly to coldplate.It in such embodiments, can be without using alignment Pin.
Adjuster 400 can have two parallel alignment sensors 412a, 412b, in alignment pin 406 shown in two There is one on each.It is understood that in other embodiments, adjuster can have more than two sensor.
It is the perspective view of the adjuster of Fig. 1 C as shown in Figure 9, sensor 412a, 412b and corresponding receiver 414a, 414b be diagonally located on the relative angle of coldplate 443 and opposite to each other.For example, the first parallel alignment sensor 412a is fixed Position is on the alignment pin 406 at the upper left corner 486a of the inside of coldplate 443 482, and the second parallel alignment sensor 412b It is located at the lower right corner 486b of the inside 482 of coldplate 443 on alignment pin 406.Corresponding first parallel alignment sensor connects On the corresponding upper right corner 488a for receiving the inside 487 that device 414a has been located in template 437, and corresponding second parallel alignment passes Sensor receiver 414b has been located on the corresponding lower left corner 488b of the inside 487 of template 437.Fig. 1 C shows the tune of Fig. 9 The front view of regulating device, the sensor stack diagonally placed on coldplate have been added on the correspondence receiver diagonally placed in template. It is understood that in other embodiments, parallel alignment sensor also can be positioned at the upper right corner and lower-left of coldplate 443 Angle.
It, can be suitably by making on the sensor relative angle diagonally to each other for being located in coldplate according to one aspect It measures coldplate and plays the alignment of template, and coldplate and a template can also be aligned completely.That is, for example, passing through Make that a sensor is located on the apex angle of coldplate and second sensor is located on the base angle of coldplate, to locating tab assembly system System can determine when more closer than the top of plate the bottom of coldplate is and play a template.In a similar way, by making a sensing Device is located in the left comer of coldplate and second sensor is located in the right corner of coldplate, and alignment measurement systems can determine cooling When more closer than the other side side of plate is is played a template.
In some embodiments, parallel alignment sensor is position sensor, for example, distance measurement sensor.Position passes Sensor can be laser, induction type distance measurement sensor or other suitable sensors.In such embodiments, it senses Distance between device and the measurement of corresponding receiver, label is and D2 in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 9.Without being limited by theory, Distance D1 and D2 correspond to when mold is in the fully closed position (for example, from the inside 487 of the template 437 to of alignment pin 406 The distance of side) when alignment pin 406 and tool palette 437 between specific gap).Clearance D 1 and D2 can be monitored in real time, execute nothing Contact float, so that the distance between each sensor and corresponding receiver equal (D1=D2) or in the margin of tolerance.No Wish bound by theory, if each sensor (for example, D1=D2) identical as the distance between corresponding receiver or in public affairs In poor range, then template has been parallel to labeled as the axis of A2a (for example, passing through parallel alignment sensor 412a, 412b).
It in coldplate and rises in the embodiment of template misalignment, the distance between sensor and corresponding receiver will be different (for example, D1 ≠ D2) or except permissible range.In such embodiments, it will be not parallel to labeled as the axis of A2a The inside of template.Therefore, according to one aspect, coldplate is monitored by measuring and comparing first distance and second distance and is risen The alignment of template.
Fig. 5 B shows that there are the embodiments of parallel misalignment with Fig. 6 C.In these embodiments, between post-mold devices Distance and therefore parallel alignment sensor is different from the distance between corresponding receiver or except the margin of tolerance.
Fig. 5 B is the right end view of the post-mold devices of Fig. 5 A, shows the top 546,548 of plate 543,537 than plate Example of the bottom 562,564 further from mutual vertical parallel misalignment.In this example, first sensor and corresponding reception The distance between device 512a, 514a D1 is greater than second sensor and corresponding receiver and (is not shown, because shown in they are located in After theta alignment sensor 518b and receiver 520b out) the distance between D2.It is understood that if second distance Greater than first distance (for example, when the bottom of plate than plate top further from each other when), it is also possible to vertical parallel misalignment occurs. In these examples, because coldplate is rotated relative to longitudinal axis A1a, it is possible to be corrected by swivel plate 543 this Misalignment, this can either automatically or manually be executed.
Fig. 6 C is the end-view of Fig. 6 A, shows the example of horizontal parallel misalignment.As shown in the drawing, plate 643,637 The ratio right side of left side 670,672 674,676 closer to, and the second parallel alignment sensor 612b and corresponding receiver 614b it Between distance D2 (be not shown, because they are located in theta alignment less than the first parallel alignment sensor and corresponding receiver After sensor 618b and receiver 620b) the distance between D1.In the embodiment that coldplate is rotated relative to axis A1a, What can be adjusted by such as armstrong's patent manually adjusts to correct horizontal parallel misalignment.
Referring again to Fig. 4 B, adjuster further includes theta alignment sensor 418a, 418b.In some embodiments, angle Alignment sensor is photoelectricity or laser sensor, although other suitable sensors also can be used.It is passed similar to parallel alignment Sensor, although theta alignment sensor 418a, 418b are shown on alignment pin 406, corresponding receiver 420a, 420b are fixed On playing template 437, but in other embodiments, which can be overturned for position.Moreover, although showing in this embodiment Two angle alignment sensors 418a, 418b, but in other embodiments, adjuster 400 can have more than two sensing Device 418a, 418b.
As shown in figure 9, on theta alignment sensor 418a, 418b relative angle diagonally to each other for being located in coldplate 443. As parallel alignment sensor, the theta alignment sensor diagonally placed can permit measurement coldplate and play the angle of template Alignment (for example, relative position) is simultaneously properly aligned with.It is understood that corresponding sensor can be positioned on relative angle and It is diagonally opposite each other rise template 437 on.In some embodiments, first angle alignment sensor 418a is located in coldplate On alignment pin 406 at the upper right corner 480a of 443 inside 482, and second angle alignment sensor 418b is located in cooling On alignment pin 406 at the lower left corner 480b of the inside 482 of plate 443.Corresponding first angle alignment sensor receiver 420a It has been located on the corresponding upper left corner 484a of the inside 487 of template 437, and corresponding second angle alignment sensor receives Device 420b has been located on the corresponding lower right corner 484b of the inside 487 of template 437.It is understood that in other embodiments In, first angle alignment sensor can be positioned on the alignment pin of the left upper of the inside of coldplate, second angle alignment Sensor is located in the one side on the inside of the lower right corner of first angle alignment sensor.
Although theta alignment sensor all positions (corresponding reception on coldplate in fig. 1 c with parallel alignment sensor Device is on playing template), all alignment sensors are done not need to locate in the same on identical post-mold devices.For example, coldplate can wrap Two parallel alignment sensors are included, and playing template includes two angle alignment sensors.Coldplate can also include one parallel right Quasi- sensor and a theta alignment sensor, another parallel alignment sensor and theta alignment sensor have been located in template On.
The example of Fig. 7 A expression angular misalignment.Theta alignment sensor 718a, 718b monitor coldplate 743 relative to rise The position of the position of template 737.That is, as theta alignment sensor 718a, 718b and corresponding receiver 720a, 720b When not in overlapping relation, angular misalignment is identified.In some embodiments, when theta alignment sensor and corresponding receiver that When this offset, receiver cannot receive the signal from sensor.In the example with angular misalignment, although coldplate Plane (for example, the plane limited by axis A1a and A3a) can be parallel to the plane of template (for example, by axis A1b and A3b The plane of restriction), it is offset from one another by the axis of sensors A 2a, A2b.In the case where angular misalignment, it can be used manually Or automatic adjustment is to be properly aligned with plate.
As shown in figure iD, when plate has theta alignment appropriate, the axis of pin 144 and preformed member bracket 238 is in public affairs It is coaxial in poor range.Therefore, pin 144 can be engaged with preformed member 152 without damaging preformed member or another tool component. As shown in Figure 7 A, when coldplate and a template are angular misalignments, at least some of cooling pin 144 is (if not all If) preformed member and/or bracket 238 may be interfered.
A kind of method of the alignment of monitoring molding post regulator is disclosed according to another aspect,.In some embodiments, should Method includes when the mold is closed, measuring coldplate and playing the gap between template, i.e. the first and second parallel alignment sensors The distance between corresponding receiver D1, D2.In some embodiments, which can be with real-time perfoming.If gap is not In defined tolerance or threshold value (for example, gap is different size, and the difference between gap is greater than threshold value), and plate has There are parallel misalignment, prompting and/or machine cycle to be interrupted.This method further includes when the mold is open with theta alignment sensor Theta alignment between inspection panel.If plate is angular misalignment, advisory alarm and/or interruption machine cycle.In some realities It applies in example, the data from parallel alignment sensor and theta alignment sensor are first sent to controller, which exists Triggering is reminded when unidentified misalignment and/or interruption machine cycle.
As shown in figure 9, in some embodiments, molding post regulator is operably coupled to controller 990.Controller 990 can from parallel alignment sensor 412a, 412b receive about coldplate 443 and the distance between template 437 feedback. Controller 990 can also from theta alignment sensor 418a, 418b receive about coldplate 443 and template 437 angle pair The feedback of quasi- (for example, relative position between coldplate 443 and template 437).The processing of controller 990 is received from sensor Information, and reminding user when misalignment and/or mechanical disorder are identified.The prompting can be visual alerts (for example, control Light or notice on panel processed), it is audible remind, it is another it is suitable remind or any combination thereof.Controller 990 can also known Stop mold cycle when other misalignment and/or mechanical disorder.
While there has been shown and described that it using the embodiment to Barebone on playing template and coldplate, but should manage Solution, such system can be used in the other parts of injection molding machine.For example, parallel alignment sensor and theta alignment sensor It can be with monitoring alignment on the corresponding surface of half module.
