The jaw drive 32 may be an integral drive, for example, the jaw drive 32 may be a pneumatic finger, and the two jaws 31 are each fixedly connected to a corresponding clamping finger of the pneumatic finger. The pneumatic fingers, also known as pneumatic clamping jaws 31 or pneumatic fingers, are actuators for gripping or grabbing workpieces using compressed air as power, and are generally classified into Y-type fingers and flat fingers according to their styles. Alternatively, the clamping jaw driving device 32 may also comprise two independent driving units, for example two independent air cylinders, which are arranged opposite to each other and are connected to a respective one of the clamping jaws 31. The jaw driving device 32 clamps or releases the movable slider 2 by driving the jaws 31 to move. Preferably, the shape of clamping jaw 31 suits with the shape of activity slider 2 to can carry out the centre gripping to activity slider 2 comparatively steadily, activity slider 2 takes place to drop because of rocking when avoiding burying module 3 and driving activity slider 2 and remove. For example, the side of the movable slider 2 has a groove, and the inside of the jaw 31 has a projection corresponding to the groove.

In another alternative embodiment, the embedded module 3 and the movable sliding block 2 can be detachably connected by magnetic connection. For example, the embedded module 3 may comprise an electromagnet, the whole of the movable slider 2 or at least one end thereof for connection with the embedded module 3 being made of a magnetic material such as iron that can be attracted by the magnet. When the embedded module 3 needs to be connected with the movable sliding block 2, the electromagnet is electrified so as to attract to fix the movable sliding block 2; when the movable sliding block 2 needs to be separated from the embedded module 3, the electromagnet is powered off.

In a further alternative embodiment, the buried module 3 may be provided with retractable fixing pins perpendicular to the first direction X, the movable slider 2 having fixing holes corresponding to the fixing pins. By controlling the position of the fixing pin, the fixing pin is extended into the fixing hole to be connected with the movable sliding block 2 or withdrawn from the fixing hole to be separated from the movable sliding block 2.

Optionally, the embedded module 3 includes a first driving device for driving the movable slider 2 to move along the first direction X and a second driving device for driving the movable slider 2 to move along the second direction Y. In this embodiment, the first driving device and the second driving device can both be a sliding table cylinder, and can drive the clamping jaw 31 to move smoothly.

Fig. 5 to 8 are a schematic perspective view, a side view, and two cross-sectional views in different directions of the insert taking module of the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 5 to 8, the jaws 11 preferably have a contoured groove 111 corresponding to the shape of the insert 4, said contoured groove 111 having an opening for the passage of said insert 4, the insert 4 entering or leaving the contoured groove 111 through the opening. The opening may be provided at a side opposite to the injection mold (i.e. in the first direction X of the jaws 11), in this embodiment the opening is provided below the jaws 11.

Insert access module 1 further includes a stopper 13 and a stopper driving device 12, and stopper driving device 12 drives stopper 13 to move relative to claw 11. The block driving device 12 may be a power device such as an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, a motor, etc. The width of the stop block 13 is matched with that of the opening, and the stop block driving device 12 drives the stop block 13 to move to a blocking position to block the opening so as to prevent the insert 4 from being separated from the opening; the stop 13, when moved to the remote position, opens the opening to allow the insert 4 to pass through the opening into or out of the contoured groove 111. In an alternative embodiment, the stop drive 12 is arranged in the third direction Z of the jaws 11, the stop drive 12 driving the stop 13 in the third direction Z. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and is specifically a horizontal direction perpendicular to the second direction Y in this embodiment, that is, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z correspond to three axes of a spatial rectangular coordinate system, respectively. By arranging the dog driver 12 in a direction perpendicular to the jaws 11, it is possible to avoid the dog driver 12 affecting the normal operation of the jaws 11.

Preferably, the claw 11 further has a spring plate 18 and a positioning column 19, the spring plate 18 has a fixed end fixedly connected with the claw 11 and a free end far away from the fixed end, the positioning column 19 penetrates through the side wall of the contour groove 111, and the outer end of the positioning column 19 (i.e. the end far away from the contour groove 111) is connected with the free end of the spring plate 18. Due to the elasticity of the elastic sheet 18, when the insert 4 enters the contour groove 111 for positioning, the inner end of the positioning column 19 contacts with the side surface of the insert 4, and the insert 4 is positioned and clamped from the side direction.

Preferably, the jaws 11 are movable in a first direction X. For example, the injection molding insert embedding device of the embodiment includes a slide rail and a slide block, the slide rail is disposed along the first direction X, the claw 11 is fixedly connected with the slide block, and the slide block is disposed on the slide rail and can move along the slide rail. The ejection device may further include a resetting device for resetting the jaws 11, and the resetting device may be a power device or an elastic element such as a spring.

Preferably, the insert taking module 1 further includes a fixing block 15, a limit pin 16 and a thimble 17. The claw 11 has a through hole penetrating along the first direction X, the through hole is communicated with the profile groove 111, and the thimble 17 penetrates through the through hole. The fixing block 15 is disposed above the jaws 11. The upper end of the limit pin 16 is fixedly connected with the fixing block 15, and the limit pin 16 is movably connected with the jaw 11, for example, the limit pin 16 of the embodiment is disposed in the mounting hole of the jaw 11 and can move along the mounting hole. The diameter of the lower end of the stopper pin 16 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole of the jaw 11, so that the jaw 11 is prevented from being separated from the stopper pin 16, and a movable range of a predetermined length is provided between the fixing block 15 and the jaw 11 in the first direction X. The upper end of the thimble 17 is fixedly connected with the fixed block 15, and when the fixed block 15 and the claw 11 move relatively, the thimble 17 moves along the through hole. When the distance between the fixed block 15 and the claw 11 is reduced, the thimble 17 applies a pushing force to the insert 4 in the curved groove 111, so that the insert 4 is ejected out of the curved groove 111 against the clamping force and the friction force of the elastic sheet 18 and the positioning column 19.

In this embodiment, the return means is a spring 14, the spring 14 is arranged along the first direction X, one end of the spring 14 is connected to the fixed block 15, and the other end is connected to the frame.

Preferably, the embedded module 3 further includes a roller 33, an axis of the roller 33 may be disposed along the third direction Z, the roller 33 is opposite to the fixed block 15, and the roller 33 moves along the first direction X and the second direction Y in synchronization with the clamping jaw 31. When the movable slider 2 is in the aligned position, the position of the roller 33 is adapted to the position of the fixed block 15, whereby when the movable slider 2 is driven by the second driving means to move in the direction of the claws 11 and to be connected to the insert 4, the roller 33 moves above the fixed block 15 and comes into contact with the upper end of the fixed block 15. Subsequently, when the first driving device drives the movable sliding block 2 to move downwards, the roller 33 simultaneously pushes the fixed block 15, the limit pin 16, the clamping jaw 11 and the insert 4 to move downwards, so that the relative position between the insert 4 and the movable sliding block 2 can be well maintained. Due to the effect of gravity, a large clearance is maintained between the jaws 11 and the fixed block 15 during this process. A projection opposite to the clamping jaw 31 can be arranged at a preset position on the rack, when the clamping jaw 11 moves downwards to be in contact with the projection, the clamping jaw 11 stops moving, the first driving device continues to drive the clamping jaw 31 and the roller 33 to move downwards, the roller 33 pushes the fixed block 15 and the ejector pin 17 to move downwards until the fixed block 15 is in contact with the clamping jaw 11, and the ejector pin 17 pushes the insert 4 out of the profiling groove 111. When the first driving device drives the roller 33 to move upwards, the claw 11, the fixed block 15, the limit pin 16 and the thimble 17 move upwards to reset due to the action of the spring 14.

The insert taking module 1 may further include an insert position sensor (not shown) for detecting a relative position between the insert 4 and the contour groove 111, thereby determining whether the insert 4 is positioned in the claw 11 and whether the insert 4 is separated from the claw 11. The insert position sensor may be a sensor for detecting the position of an object, such as a photoelectric sensor, an electromagnetic sensor, or a travel switch. The insert position sensor may be provided at the contour groove 111 of the pawl 11. The buried module 3 and the stopper drive device 12 may perform corresponding actions in response to signals sent by the insert position sensor. For example, when the insert position sensor detects that the insert 4 enters the contour groove 111 and completes positioning, the second driving device operates to drive the clamping jaw 31 to approach the insert 4 along the second direction Y, so that the insert 4 is connected with the movable sliding block 2.

According to the actual conditions of production facility, can link together the inserts of moulding plastics of multiunit buries the device through the frame, can use injection mold's a plurality of acupuncture points to carry out the operation simultaneously to improve production efficiency. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 to 2, when two sets of injection molding insert embedding devices are connected, two insert taking modules 1 may be disposed in the middle, and thus the two insert taking modules 1 may share one stopper driving device 12, thereby making the overall structure of the device simpler.

In order to realize the automatic operation of the injection molding insert embedding device, the injection molding insert embedding device of the embodiment further includes a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device can be an industrial personal computer, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a singlechip or other general or special electronic equipment. The control device is electrically connected to corresponding actuators (e.g., the stopper drive device 12) of the insert taking module 1 and the embedding module 3, and controls the insert taking module 1 and the embedding module 3 to execute corresponding operations according to a predetermined program. The control device can also be connected with a sensor for detecting the state of the injection molding insert embedding device, and controls the insert taking module 1 and the embedding module 3 according to corresponding signals of the sensor.

The insert 4 can be gripped by an external device and moved to the jaws 11, and the insert 4 is forced through the opening into the profile groove 111. Alternatively, the insert injection device or the insert taking module 1 may be moved to the insert 4 placed at another position by another driving device, and the insert 4 may be inserted into the groove 111.
