Is penetrated into the interior of each of the collection guide tubes 2A to 2D.

[0003] The molded product recovery apparatus 1 configured as described above.
0 denotes a lower floor of a molded product opening position P3 in a molded product unloading machine 6 attached to the molding machine 5 on the side of an injection molding machine (hereinafter, referred to as a molding machine) 5 as shown in FIG. The receiving portion 1 is set on the surface of the molded product and corresponds to the molded product opening position P3.

On the other hand, the movable die 7 of the molding machine 5
, Four cavities 7A, 7B, 7C, 7
D is provided with a horizontal interval P1 and a vertical interval P2, and a molded product 8A in these cavities 7A to 7D.
8D are taken out of the mold by the molded product gripping means 9 shown in FIG. 15 when the movable mold 7 is opened. That is, the molded product gripping means 9 is incorporated in the molded product take-out machine 6 so as to be able to hold the vertical posture and the horizontal posture, and for example, four suction cups 9 are provided on the front surface thereof.
A, 9B, 9C, and 9D are cavities 7A to 7D. Spaces P1, P equal to space P1 in the horizontal direction and space P2 in the vertical direction.
2 when the movable mold 7 is opened.
The movable mold 7 is held in a vertical position by the operation of the molded product take-out machine 6.
Approach the four suction cups 9A-9D to cavities 7A-7
D in contact with the molded articles 8A to 8D, and the suction force of a suction means (not shown) is applied to the suction cups 9A to 9D, thereby forming the suction cup 9A.
The molded products 8A to 8D are taken out from the movable mold 7 by separating the molded product gripping means 9 from the movable mold 7 in a state where the molded products 8A to 8D are sucked by the movable mold 7.

[0005] Thereafter, the molded article take-out machine 6 is operated to move the molded article gripping means 9 above the receiving section 1 of the collection device 10 shown in FIG. 13 and to hold the article in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. The suction cups 9A to 9D are inserted into the entrance 1A of the receiving section 1.
1D, the molded products 8A to 8D are inserted into the inlets 1A to 1D. Here, the suction function of the suction means is released and the molded products 8A to 8D by the suction cups 9A to 9D are released.

[0007]

However, in the conventional molded product recovery apparatus 10, the type and size of the molded products 8A to 8D are changed so that they are provided in the movable mold 7 shown in FIG. Four cavities 7A, 7
When the horizontal interval P1 and the vertical interval P2 of B, 7C, and 7D change, a complicated operation for exchanging the receiving unit 1 shown in FIG. 10 is required. Also, molded products 8A to 8D
The removal area of the static electricity applied to the collection guide cylinder 2A
２2D is restricted only by the installation area of the collection guide cylinders 2AＤ2D, so that the molded articles 8A〜8D falling inside the collection guide cylinders 2A〜2D are blown by a static elimination wind from outside the collection guide cylinders 2A〜2D. Even if the static eliminator is used, the static elimination effect cannot be expected. Therefore, the electrode type (nozzle type) static electricity removing device 4 is used. However, the electrode-type static eliminator 4 has a structure in which the electrodes (nozzles) 4A and 4B penetrate and face the inside of each of the recovery guide tubes 2A to 2D, as is apparent from FIG. There is a possibility that the molded articles 8A to 8D falling inside the collection guide cylinders 2A to 2D may be damaged by contacting the electrodes 4A and 4B.
