Abstract
The invention relates to a novel remote-controlled smart plastic injection machine that can be used in the office, comprises a plug-in mold assembly system in which the user can produce their own molds, and uses a specially protected plastic raw material cartridge.
Claims3
A plastic injection machine (1), characterized in that it comprises
- at least one communication module which allows all modules in the injection machine (1) to communicate with each other via sensors and to transmit the information such as the collected voice, part geometry, image, distance, temperature, etc. instantly to at least one system computer (3),
- at least one control unit (36) which has at least one cartridge slot (25) in which at least one cartridge (22) is connected to the machine in at least one package (221) comprising at least one electronic label (23) with the information about raw material weight, raw material production date, raw material expiry date, and the last injection date with the raw material, the information about how much weight and volume of material remains in the raw material, the information about raw material color, and raw material producer, the information about the suitable injection system and mold material to be used, and comprises at least one cartridge load cell (29) that measures the weight of the loaded raw material, and at least one screen (16) connected therein and monitoring all production parameters simultaneously via an electronic label (23) and simultaneously processing the updated information on the electronic label (23), and providing the instant exchange of information with the devices such as smart tablet, PC and phone via a system computer (3) in which the 3D CAD model and/or volume information of the part to be produced is entered, and a remote access protocol contained in said system computer (3),
- at least one production area module comprising at least one production area system cover (10) in which the entire production area region can be viewed and which contains all the production mechanisms, at least one controller (not shown in the figures) that prevents the movement against the possible tampering when a system cover (10) is opened, at least one mechanical switch (33) located under the production area cover, at least one camera (34) which monitors inside the production area and allows the image processing from each print, at least one thermal camera (35) which detects the temperature change, at least one infrared sensor (32) which detects the substances that may enter between the two molds, at least one ultrasonic sensor (37) which detects the transparent objects, at least one flight sensor (30) which measures the reflections, at least one plug-in mold slot (112) consisting of at least one movable clamp plate (11) and at least one fixed clamp plate (12), into which at least two molds, including at least one movable mold half (111) and at least one fixed mold half (121) are inserted, at least one voice sensor (31) which measures the decibel level within the printing area, at least one extruder sleeve (17) comprising at least one heater (171) with the resistors thereon, and at least one scale plate (13) with at least one balance scale cell (131) on which the printed parts (122) are collected and simultaneously weighed,
- at least one safety module which provides an automatic stop by warning in the case of the appearance of the possible foreign materials such as residual material or human hands via the ultrasonic sensor (37), infrared sensor (32) and flight sensor (30) located in the printing area,
- a motion drive module having at least one ball screw (15) to which the extruder sleeve (17) is connected and which takes the raw material at the beginning of the cartridge (22) and transmits it with its rotational movement to the fixed mold half placed on the fixed clamp plate (12) and which allows the movable plate and thus the mold half fixed thereto to approach the fixed mold half (121) by the linear motion, at least one radial bearing (151) on the ball screw (15), at least one first motion transmission element (152) and at least one second motion transmission element (153) consisting of gears and providing the motion transmission by cooperating with said radial bearing (151), and at least one motor (14) providing the motion drive of said structure.
