技术·创新/日用电器关于塔式冷风扇注塑镶件自动备料投放装置的研究与应用ResearchandApplicationofAutomaticMaterialPreparationandPlacementDeviceforInjectionMoldedInsertsofaCertainHouseholdAppliance李毅葛彬*白伟叶小波（格力大松（宿迁）生活电器有限公司宿迁223800)摘要：为提升塔式冷风扇水箱带水尺镶件注塑效率，降低员工投放水尺镶件到模具时工作难度，本文在对注塑时水尺镶件投放动作步骤分析的基础上，设计出一种集中储备水尺镶件并利用机器人（或机械臂）自动投放水尺镶件的装置。通过设计集中储备水尺镶件装置，自动投放水尺镶件装置，PLC逻辑控制电路等，使该装置各部分紧密配合，继而实现注塑水尺镶件自动存储、投放功能[1]。通过以上软硬件的设计，不仅大大降低了水箱生产的人力投入成本及劳动强度，同时对家电行业镶件注塑自动化推进具有较高的指导意义。关键词：水尺镶件；自动存储；自动投放；PLC逻辑控制Abstract:Inordertoimprovetheinjectionefficiencyofhouseholdappliancewatertankwithwatergaugeinsertsandreducethedifficultyofemployeeswhenplacingwatergaugeinsertsintothemold,thisarticleanalyzesthestepsofplacingwatergaugeinsertsduringinjectionmolding,anddesignsadeviceforcentralizedstorageofwatergaugeinsertsandautomaticplacementofwatergaugeinsertsusingarobot(orroboticarm).Bydesigningacentralizedreservewatergaugeinsertdevice,automaticplacementofwatergaugeinsertsdevice,PLClogiccontrolcircuit,etc.,thevariouspartsofthedevicearecloselycoordinated,therebyachievingtheautomaticstorageandplacementfunctionofinjectionwatergaugeinserts.Throughthedesignoftheabovesoftwareandhardware,notonlyhasthelaborinputcostandintensityofwatertankproductionbeengreatlyreduced,butalsohashighguidingsignificanceforthepromotionofautomationofinjectionmoldingforhouseholdappliancesindustryinserts.Keywords:watergaugeinserts;automaticstorage;automaticplacement;PLClogiccontrol引言随着注塑工艺的不断提高，塔式冷风扇水箱外壳越来越多的采用水尺镶件注塑。但在水尺镶件注塑的过程中，需要人工手持水尺镶件，爬到注塑机内，将水尺镶件安装到注塑机内模具上，等待员工爬出注塑机后，再进行注塑。在生产时员工工作枯燥、时间长，人力投人多，劳动强度大、操作繁琐等因素，严重影响...
