Abstract
A device removes molded parts from a mold cavity of a mold half of an injection molding machine. The device contains an ejection mechanism used to remove the molded parts from the mold cavity in an ejection direction. A receiving element is arranged in relation to the mold cavity in the ejection direction, the receiving element contains a receiving opening to which low pressure is applied. The receiving opening is connected to a supply opening of a chamber by a first line. The chamber contains a suction opening on a vertically arranged lateral wall, to which low pressure is applied.
Claims12
1-11. (canceled)
12:
- An apparatus for demolding molded parts from a mold cavity of a mold half of an injection molding machine, the apparatus comprising:
- an ejection device for demolding the molded parts from the mold cavity in an ejection direction;
- a receiving element having a receiving opening formed therein being subjected to low pressure and disposed opposite the mold cavity in the ejection direction;
- a first line;
- a chamber having a vertically disposed side wall and a feeding opening formed therein and connected to said receiving opening via said first line, said vertically disposed side wall having a suction opening formed therein and being subjected to low pressure, said chamber further having a lower wall with a discharge opening formed therein;
- and
- a filter disposed in said chamber in front of said suction opening.
4 more elements
13:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said filter encloses an area between said feed opening and said discharge opening.
14:
- The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said filter is disposed such that an inner contour of said filter corresponds to an edge defining said discharge opening.
15:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising:
- a transport channel;
- and
- a receptacle for receiving the molded parts, said discharge opening of said chamber connected to said receptacle via said transport channel.
1 more element
16:
- The apparatus according to claims 12, further comprising a Venturi nozzle connected about said suction opening.
17:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising a device by means of which low pressure can be generated at intervals.
18:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said ejection device contains at least one axially moveable plunger, said axially moveable plunger having a free end extending through an ejection opening arranged in the mold half, and said receiving element is disposed opposite said free end of said axially moveable plunger in a direction of adjustment of said axially moveable plunger.
19:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said ejection device contains at least one fluid channel connected to the mold cavity which can be subjected to a pressurized fluid to eject the molded parts.
20:
- The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said chamber exhibits a larger cross section than said first line, whereby a velocity of an airflow channeled in said chamber is decreased.
21:
- The apparatus according to claim 16,
- further comprising a second line;
- and
- wherein said Venturi nozzle has an outlet tube and suction is generated in said outlet tube which extends through said second line to said suction opening of said chamber as well as to said receiving opening of said receiving element through said first line connected to said feed opening of said chamber.
1 more element
22:
- The apparatus according to claim 21, wherein the suction is applied to the molded parts in intervals.
