Description

Programming device

This creation is about a programming device, in particular, which provides the application needed for injection molding equipment.

The general injection molding equipment is a plastic molding equipment that uses thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics into various shapes of plastic products using a molding die. The existing injection molding apparatus is provided with a controller for automatically controlling the operation of the injection molding apparatus, so that a program needs to be written to the controller for the controller to execute the instruction.

However, conventional injection molding equipment includes an injection machine and other auxiliary machines, such as a take-out machine, a chiller, a mold temperature machine, a hot runner, a dryer, a packaging machine, a trainer or a dehumidifier. Therefore, when designing a program, it is necessary to write various programs according to various models and processes (such as the first program, the second program, and the nth program shown in FIG. 1 , where n is a natural number), so it is necessary to wait for programming. After the required program is programmed, the field operator can operate the injection molding equipment, resulting in an increase in the human resources of the plant area and delays in the production line.

Furthermore, when an injection molding device is set up in the factory, the programmer will write a set of programs, but if the process or parameters of the injection molding equipment are to be adjusted, the program needs to be rewritten, resulting in delays in the production line.

Moreover, when a new injection molding equipment is set up in the factory, the programmer also needs to write a new set of programs, which will also cause delays in the production line.

In addition, the conventional technology is manually written, so after inputting in the text editor, the executable file is obtained by inputting the compile command in the DOS window, but the disadvantage is that the working time is high, the bit error rate is high, and the management report cannot be generated. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain.

Therefore, how to overcome the various problems of the above-mentioned prior art has become a difficult problem to be overcome in the industry.

The present invention provides a programming device for providing an application for an injection molding apparatus, the programming device comprising: a host having a database and an encoding processor, wherein the database contains model data. a process interface and a parameter data; a control interface is disposed on the host for selecting the required data in the database, and converting the data into a program via the encoding processor; and an access device It is installed on the host to store the program and transmit it to the corresponding injection molding equipment.

In the aforementioned programming device, the host is a notebook computer or a desktop computer, and the manipulation interface is a human machine interface.

In the foregoing programming device, the manipulation interface includes a plurality of buttons, and the manipulation interface is a touch panel.

In the aforementioned programming device, the access device includes a port of a universal serial bus.

As can be seen from the above, the programming device of the creation is built in the host by the database and the encoding processor, so that the operator only needs to use the manipulation. By selecting the required model data, process data and parameter data, the interface can output the required program, so that the programmer does not need to write the required program, so the operator uses the program design compared with the conventional method. The equipment can complete the application programs required for various injection molding equipment, thereby reducing the human resources of the plant and avoiding delays in the production line.

Furthermore, if the process or parameters of the injection molding apparatus are to be adjusted, the operator can use the programming device to immediately write a new program without delaying the time course of the production line.

In addition, when a new injection molding equipment is set up in the factory, the operator can use the program design equipment to immediately write a new set of programs, so the time line of the production line will not be delayed.
