Description

The present invention relates to a resin molded product take-out machine that takes out a resin molded product molded from a resin molding machine, and more specifically, a resin that takes out a resin molded product taken out from a mold to the side of an injection unit in the central axis direction of the resin molding machine. The present invention relates to a molded product take-out machine.
About.

  As a resin molded product take-out machine, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the resin molding machine on the stationary platen of the resin molding machine (hereinafter, the central axis direction is the front-rear direction and the central axis is orthogonal). The direction is referred to as the left-right direction.) And extends in the front-rear direction on the left and right traveling bodies supported so as to reciprocate in the left-right direction on the main body frame extending to the operation side or the non-operation side of the resin molding machine. A front / rear frame is attached, a front / rear traveling body that reciprocates in the front / rear direction on the front / rear frame is supported, and a resin molded product is held at the lower part of the upper / lower arm that moves up and down with an axis in the vertical direction. A structure provided with a member is known.

  The resin molded product take-out machine moves the left and right traveling bodies and the front and rear traveling bodies in the respective directions and moves the holding members upward between the molds opened, and then lowers the upper and lower arms to project the resin molding machine. Or, after holding the resin molded product with the movement of the front and rear running bodies, the upper and lower arms are lifted and separated from between the molds, and then the holding member holding the resin molded product by moving the left and right running bodies is a resin molded product. It moves to the open position (extraction position) set on the operation side or the non-operation side, and performs the operation of taking out the resin molded product.

  In such a resin molded product take-out machine that takes out the resin molded product to the operation side or the non-operation side of the resin molding machine, the open position of the resin molded product is on the operation side or the non-operation side of the resin molding machine. Since it is limited, taking-out workability is poor and a large space is required between a plurality of resin molding machines, so that there is a problem that the space utilization efficiency of the molding factory is poor.

  In order to solve this problem, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, before and after extending to the fixed platen of the resin molding machine in the front-rear direction, the mold position in the resin molding machine and the injection unit side or the movable side of the resin molding machine A frame is attached, and a front / rear running body provided to move up and down an upper and lower arm with a holding member attached to the lower part of the front / rear frame is configured to reciprocate in the front / rear direction, and is taken out to the movable side of the resin molding machine. A resin molded product take-out machine having a so-called vertical traverse structure has been proposed.

However, the vertical traverse type resin molded product take-out machine has a problem that the take-out position of the resin molded product is limited to the movable side of the resin molding machine and the take-out workability is poor. In order to move the holding member holding the resin molded product to the movable side, the stroke of the upper and lower arms is increased to prevent the resin molded product held by the holding member from interfering with the movable side clamping unit. Therefore, it is necessary to lift the holding member to a high position.

For this reason, it takes time to move the holding member up and down, the resin molded product take-out cycle becomes longer, high-speed take-out becomes difficult, and the ceiling height of the factory that houses the resin molding machine in which the resin molded product take-out machine is installed Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height of the resin molding machine according to these machine heights, and there is a problem that the installation of the resin molding machine in which the resin molded product take-out machine is installed is restricted.

In order to take out the resin molded product to the injection unit side, the holding member must be moved at a height that does not interfere with the resin pellet supply hopper provided in the injection unit. It is necessary to raise the member to a high position, and the above problem is remarkable.

Any of the arranged structure and the structure provided with a large number of cylinders connected to a compressed air generation source (not shown) and gripping the resin molded product 37 may be used. The figure shows an example in which a large number of suction pads are arranged on the chuck plate.

Next, the operation of taking out the resin molded product 37 by the resin molded product take-out machine 17 configured as described above will be described.
First, when the resin molded product 37 is molded by the resin molding machine 1, for example, the front / rear moving member 23 is driven to move the front / rear traveling body 21 to a position corresponding to the stationary platen 5 of the front / rear frame 19 and the first left / right movement. The member 27 is driven to move the left and right frames 25 to one end side near the fixed platen 5. Further, in the above state, the second left / right moving member 31 is driven to move the left / right traveling body 29 to one end side of the left / right frame 25 near the fixed platen 5 and the vertical moving member 35 is driven to move the vertical arm 33. Is raised and the holding member 39 is moved to the upper side of the fixed mold 5a to stand by. (See Figure 1)

  In this state, when the mold opening signal is output from the control device (not shown) of the resin molding machine 1 to the control device (not shown) of the resin molded product 17 due to the end of the resin molding operation, The vertical movement member 35 is driven and the vertical arm 33 is moved downward to drive the holding member 39 while driving the vertical movement member 23 to move the front / rear traveling body 21 toward the other end of the front / rear frame 19 near the movable platen 7. The mold is opened relative to the mold matching surface of the movable mold 11a. (See Figure 4)

In this state, when the resin molded product 37 in the movable mold 11a is protruded and held by the holding member 39 by the protruding mechanism (not shown) of the resin molding machine 1, the vertically moving member 35 is moved in the opposite direction to the above. The front and rear moving member 23 is driven in the opposite direction to the above while raising and lowering the upper and lower arms 33 to move the front and rear traveling body 21 to the injection unit 15 side, and the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 is mold. Get out of the space.

Then, the first left / right moving member 27 is driven in the opposite direction while continuing the movement of the front / rear traveling body 21 with respect to the injection unit 15 side at the timing when the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 is pulled out from between the molds. Then, while moving the left and right frame 25 to the outside of the resin molding machine 1, the second left and right moving member 31 is driven in the opposite direction to move the left and right traveling body 29 toward the other end of the left and right frame 25. The resin molded product 37 held by 39 is moved above the open position outside the resin molding machine 1 on the side of the raw material hopper 15 b in the injection unit 15. (See Figure 5)

In this operation, the left and right traveling bodies 29 are moved with respect to the left and right frames 25 while the left and right frames 25 are moved with respect to the front and rear traveling bodies 21, thereby holding the holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37. Therefore, it is possible to avoid moving the holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37 to the outside of the resin molding machine 1 in a short time and coming into contact with the raw material hopper 15b. Can do.

That is, the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 collides with the raw material hopper 15b only by moving the front / rear traveling body 21 to the injection unit 15 side. Holding the resin molded product 37 by moving the left and right traveling bodies 29 on the left and right frames 25 while moving the left and right frames 25 to the outside of the resin molding machine 1 as the front and rear traveling bodies 21 move with respect to the unit 15 side. The member 39 is allowed to pass through a non-interference area for the raw material hopper 15b to avoid contact.

When the holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37 is moved upward from the open position by the above operation, the vertical movement member 35 is driven as necessary to lower the vertical arm 33 and is held by the holding member 39. After the resin molded product 37 is brought close to a stacking means such as a boxing device or a discharging means (not shown) such as a shooter arranged in an open position, the holding by the holding means 39 is released to complete the take-out operation. .

In this embodiment, the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 with respect to the side of the resin molding machine 1 can be taken out while avoiding contact with the injection unit 15, particularly the raw material hopper 15 b protruding upward. it can. Further, when the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 is moved in the left-right direction, the resin molded product 37 can be moved at almost twice the moving distance and moving speed of the left-right traveling body 29, thereby shortening the moving time. Enables high-speed removal.

In the above description, holding the resin molded product 37 by moving the left and right frames 25 with respect to the front and rear traveling bodies 21 and moving the left and right traveling bodies 29 with respect to the left and right frames 25 while moving to one end side of the front and rear frames 19. Although the example which moves the member 39 to the open position set to the side of the injection unit 15 was shown, the left and right frames 25 with respect to the front and rear traveling body 21 at any position in the front and rear frame 19 and the left and right frames 25 are also shown. On the other hand, it is good also as a structure which moves the left-right traveling body 29 and moves the holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37 to the open position set outside the resin molding machine 1.

Further, the front and rear frames 19 have a length corresponding to the center axis length of the resin molding machine 1, and the left and right frames 25 are placed on the front and rear traveling bodies 21 at arbitrary positions on the front and rear frames 19 according to the outside of the resin molding machine 1. Alternatively, the left and right traveling bodies 29 may be moved relative to the left and right frames 25 to move the holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37 to an open position set outside the resin molding machine 1.

Further, the front / rear frame 19 is made longer than the center axis length of the resin molding machine 1 so that the end portions are projected from the front end portion and the rear end portion of the resin molding machine 1, and the front / rear travel body 21 is moved to the end portion of the front / rear frame 19. The holding member 39 holding the resin molded product 37 by moving the left and right frames 25 with respect to the front and rear traveling bodies 21 and the left and right traveling bodies 29 with respect to the left and right frames 25 in the moved state is arranged on the front end side of the resin molding machine 1 or It is good also as a structure moved to the open position set in the rear end side.

In any case described above, when the resin molded product 37 held by the holding member 39 interferes with the mold clamping unit 13 or the injection unit 15 of the resin molding machine 1, It is only necessary to avoid interference by moving the left and right traveling bodies 29 with respect to the frame 25 and the left and right frames 25.

As a result, the present invention can be taken out to an arbitrary open position set in a wide area on the operation side or the counter-operation side of the resin molding machine shown in FIG. Can be made more efficient.
