In addition, the term "or" as used herein should be taken to include any one or combination of more of the associated listed items as the case may be.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1 to 10, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent automatic mold changing method, including:
first, the reserve mold M1 is conveyed to the mold temporary storage unit 3 (step S100). For example, as shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, the reserve mold M1 can be placed in the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2. Then, the reserve mold M1 is transported to the mold escrow unit 3 by a manual or mechanical transportation.
Further, the mold temporary storage unit 3 includes a plurality of storage mold temporary storage areas 30 and a ready-to-pick-and-place area 31, and the storage mold M1 is placed in the storage mold temporary storage area 30 or the ready-to-pick-and-place area 31; the reserve mold M1 may be a die casting mold, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 3 and fig. 4, the mold temporary storage unit 3 of the present invention includes a plurality of storage mold temporary storage areas 30 and a ready-to-take-and-place area 31, the plurality of storage mold temporary storage areas 30 are adjacent to the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2, and the ready-to-take-and-place area 31 is far away from the plurality of storage mold temporary storage areas 30; the mold buffer unit 3 may be a storage line, such as a general production line, but not limited thereto. Therefore, when the reserve mold M1 is transferred to the mold buffer unit 3, it can be placed in one of the reserve mold buffers 30. Then, the temporary mold picking and placing unit 4 transports the storage mold M1 from one of the storage mold temporary storage areas 30 to the pre-picking and placing area 31. The temporary storage mold taking and placing unit 4 is movably disposed above the mold temporary storage unit 3, and the temporary storage mold taking and placing unit 4 may be a storage line crown block, but not limited thereto.
Furthermore, before transporting the storage mold M1 to the temporary mold storage unit 3, at least one storage mold M1 may be obtained from the storage unit 1 and transported to the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2. For example, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 3 and fig. 4, the mold warehousing unit 1 of the present invention can place a plurality of storage molds M1, each storage mold M1 at least includes a first storage mold M10 and a second storage mold M11 capable of assembling and matching with each other, so that the mold warehousing unit 1 can place the assembled storage mold M1 or the unassembled first storage mold M10 and the unassembled second storage mold M11; the mold warehousing unit 1 may be a mold storage chamber or a mold storage chamber table, the first storage mold M10 may be a male mold, and the second storage mold M11 may be a female mold, but not limited thereto. Then, the unassembled first storage mold M10 and second storage mold M11 are transferred to the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2, and are assembled mechanically or manually in the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2 to assemble the storage mold M1; the mold assembling or disassembling unit 2 may be an automatic machine table or a general workbench for assembling or disassembling, but not limited thereto.
Still further, when reserve mold M1 is not used temporarily, first reserve mold M10 and second reserve mold M11 of reserve mold M1 are respectively placed in mold warehousing unit 1 after mold assembly or disassembly of disassembling unit 2. When mold stock M1 is ready for use, first mold stock M10 and second mold stock M11 of mold stock M1 can be placed in temporary mold storage unit 1 after mold assembly or disassembly unit 2 is assembled.
Next, the mold replacement pick-and-place unit 7 transfers the stored mold M1 placed in the mold temporary storage unit 3 to the mold set-up unit (step S102).
