Aiming at the problems of low yield and low production efficiency of injection molding products caused by the traditional feeding mode, the feeding method of the injection molding raw materials provided by the embodiment of the invention can be executed by theterminal equipment 100 or the chip 900 applied to theterminal equipment 100. The following examples describe the method of embodiments of the present invention using interactive writing. FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for feeding injection molding material according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method for feeding injection molding raw materials according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:

step 101: theterminal device 100 receives injection product order information.

In some cases, the user may input the injection product order information remotely through a display page of theclient 500, and theclient 500 may directly transmit the above injection product order information to theterminal device 100. In other cases, the user may also input injection product order information directly on the display page of theterminal device 100.

The reception method of theterminal device 100 may be wireless reception or wired reception. In order to facilitate the data search and the later retrieval of the relevant data, theterminal device 100 may have a database therein. The database can store injection molding raw material formula information and injection molding equipment parameter information. The database may also be used to store injection product order information received by theterminal device 100. When theterminal device 100 receives a new injection product order, the data in the database is updated to ensure the integrity of the data in the database, so as to facilitate later-stage calling and reference.

The injection molding raw material formula information at least comprises: injection molding raw material position information, injection molding raw material type information and injection molding raw material proportion information. The injection molding material position information may include injection molding material warehouse information and injection molding material shelf information.

The injection molding equipment parameter information may include injection molding product model, injection molding product processing information, and injection molding equipment status information. The injection molding product model information included in the injection molding equipment parameter information may be matched with the injection molding product model information included in the injection molding product order information. The processing technology information of the injection molding product can comprise injection molding raw material formula information of the corresponding injection molding product and a specific process for producing the injection molding product with the corresponding model. The status information of the injection molding apparatus may include that the injection molding apparatus is in an operating state and that the injection molding apparatus is in an idle state.

Step 102: theterminal device 100 may determine the injection molding device meeting the requirement of the injection molding product order information according to the injection molding product order information and the injection molding device parameter information, and dispatch a production task to the injection molding device meeting the injection molding product order information.

The injection molding equipment can be a main molding equipment for manufacturing plastic products with various shapes by using a plastic molding mold from thermoplastic plastics or thermosetting plastics. The injection molding equipment can be divided into a vertical type, a horizontal type or an all-electric type. The injection molding equipment may be located in the production processing area near thefeeding equipment 400, and is in communication with theterminal equipment 100 for producing the injection molded product matched with the injection molded product order information according to the injection molding formula.

In the actual application process, when there is only one injection molding device and the injection molding device satisfies the order information of the injection molded product, step 101 is completed, and then step 103 may be directly executed. In the case where there are a plurality of injection molding apparatuses and there is order information satisfying the injection molding product among the plurality of injection molding apparatuses, after step 101 is completed, step 102 may be sequentially performed.

In the case that there are multiple injection molding devices, theterminal device 100 may retrieve all injection molding device parameter information in the database according to the received injection molding product order information, and find out a target injection molding device that is in an idle state and matches the injection molding product order information. The target injection molding equipment is the injection molding equipment capable of meeting the order information requirement of injection molding products. At this time, theterminal device 100 may dispatch a production task to the target injection molding device, that is, theterminal device 100 sends a corresponding injection molding product production instruction to the target injection molding device.

In some cases. When all the injection molding devices are in the working state, theterminal device 100 may find out the injection molding device that matches the order information of the injection molding product and ends the work task most quickly as the target injection molding device. When the target injection molding device finishes the production task, theterminal device 100 directly distributes the production task to the target injection molding device.

Step 103: theterminal device 100 searches the injection molding formula information matched with the injection molding product order information from the corresponding relationship between the injection molding product and the injection molding formula information according to the injection molding product order information.

In an actual application process, theterminal device 100 may retrieve all injection molding raw material formula information in the database according to the received injection molding product order information, and find out the injection molding formula information matched with the injection molding product order information. Based on the search of theterminal device 100 in the database, the position information, the type information and the proportioning information of the injection molding raw material for producing the injection molding product matched with the order information of the injection molding product can be determined.

Step 104: theterminal device 100 generates injection molding raw material demand information according to the injection molding formula information and the injection molding product order information.

In an actual application process, theterminal device 100 may determine the required type information and the required weight information of the injection molding raw material matched with the injection molding product order information according to the injection molding formula information and the injection molding product order information determined in step 103. In particular, theterminal device 100 needs to determine the required weight information of the injection molding raw material that matches the order information of the injection molding product.

Step 105: theterminal device 100 sends the ex-warehouse information to theex-warehouse device 200 according to the injection molding raw material requirement information.

Step 106: after theex-warehouse device 200 receives the ex-warehouse information in step 105, theex-warehouse device 200 ex-warehouse the injection molding raw materials meeting the order information of the injection molding products.

In the actual application process, after step 103 is completed, theterminal device 100 may determine the position information of the injection molding material matched with the order information of the injection molding product. At this time, theterminal device 100 may control theex-warehouse device 200 to carry out the injection molding material located at the position determined in step 103. Based on this, step 106 may specifically include the following steps:

step 1061: theterminal device 100 acquires injection molding raw material storage information satisfying the injection molding product order information according to the injection molding formula information.

Theterminal device 100 controls theex-warehouse device 200 to be at the position determined in step 103, and controls theex-warehouse device 200 to acquire the storage information of the injection molding material at the position. The warehousing information may include inventory information of the respective injection molding material. Theterminal device 100 may compare the stock quantity information with a required weight of injection molding raw material required to produce the injection molding product in the injection molding product order information, and selectively perform step 1062 or step 1063 according to the determination result.

Step 1062: under the condition that theterminal device 100 determines that the injection molding raw material warehousing information meeting the injection molding product order information matches the injection molding raw material demand information, theterminal device 100 controls theex-warehouse device 200 to ex-warehouse the injection molding raw materials meeting the injection molding product order information.

In the actual application process, when the inventory of the injection molding raw materials matched with the order information of the injection molding product is greater than the required weight of the corresponding injection molding raw materials, theterminal device 100 may control theex-warehouse device 200 to ex-warehouse the injection molding raw materials meeting the order information of the injection molding product.

Step 1063: under the condition that theterminal device 100 determines that the injection molding raw material storage information meeting the order information of the injection molding product does not match the injection molding raw material requirement information, theterminal device 100 controls thealarm device 600 to alarm.

In the actual application process, when the inventory of the injection molding raw materials matched with the order information of the injection molding product is smaller than the required weight of the corresponding injection molding raw materials, theterminal device 100 can control thealarm device 600 to alarm, so as to remind an operator to supplement the corresponding injection molding raw materials in time, and to ensure that the feeding process of the injection molding raw materials is smoothly carried out.

Step 107: theterminal device 100 acquires the information of the injection molding raw material taken out of the warehouse-outdevice 200, and when the information of the injection molding raw material taken out of the warehouse-outdevice 200 is determined to be consistent with the requirement information of the injection molding raw material, theterminal device 100 controls the carryingdevice 700 to carry the injection molding raw material taken out of the warehouse-outdevice 200 to the feeding station of the injection molding device.

In the actual application process, after step 106 is completed, the data acquisition device included in theex-warehouse device 200 acquires the injection molding material information of the injection molding material that has been ex-warehouse again, and sends the injection molding material information to theterminal device 100. After theterminal device 100 acquires the injection molding raw material information, it is determined again whether the injection molding raw material information is consistent with the injection molding raw material demand information, so as to ensure that the injection molding raw material delivered from thedelivery device 200 meets the requirement of matching with the injection molding product order information. If the information of the injection molding raw material discharged from the warehouse-outequipment 200 is consistent with the information of the requirement of the injection molding raw material, theterminal equipment 100 controls the carryingequipment 700 to carry the injection molding raw material discharged from the warehouse-outequipment 200 to the feeding station of the injection molding equipment. After completing step 107, theterminal device 100 may directly perform step 109.

Thehandling apparatus 700 may be one or more. When only one conveyingdevice 700 is provided, the conveyingdevice 700 can convey only one injection molding raw material meeting the order information of the injection molding product at one time, and the steps are repeated for multiple times until the conveying is finished; the conveyingapparatus 700 can convey all the injection molding materials satisfying the order information of the injection molding product at one time. When there are a plurality of thetransfer devices 700 and the number of thetransfer devices 700 is the same as the type of the injection molding material satisfying the order information of the injection molding product, eachtransfer device 700 may transfer only one type of injection molding material satisfying the order information of the injection molding product.

During the actual transportation process, thetransportation apparatus 700 may select an optimal route according to a preset route. For example: 3 preset routes are arranged from the warehouse to the feeding station, and the carryingequipment 700 can preferentially select the route with the shortest route for carrying. If there is an obstacle on the shortest route and the obstacle cannot be crossed, the carryingdevice 700 may return to the shortest route and select the route again. If there are obstacles on all 3 routes and the obstacles cannot be crossed, the carryingdevice 700 sends obstacle feedback information to theterminal device 100. At this time, theterminal device 100 can control thealarm device 600 to alarm, so that an operator can clean up the barrier in time and guarantee smooth feeding of the injection molding raw material.

Step 108: theterminal device 100 acquires the information of the injection molding raw material taken out of the warehouse-outdevice 200, and controls thealarm device 600 to alarm when the information of the injection molding raw material taken out of the warehouse-outdevice 200 is determined to be inconsistent with the information of the injection molding raw material requirement.

In actual practice, step 108 may be performed directly after step 106 is completed. The data acquisition device included in theex-warehouse device 200 acquires the injection molding material information of the injection molding material that has been ex-warehouse again, and sends the injection molding material information to theterminal device 100. After theterminal device 100 acquires the injection molding raw material information, it is determined again whether the injection molding raw material information is consistent with the injection molding raw material demand information, so as to ensure that the injection molding raw material delivered from thedelivery device 200 meets the requirement of matching with the injection molding product order information. If the injection molding raw material information delivered from thedelivery device 200 is inconsistent with the injection molding raw material demand information, theterminal device 100 controls thealarm device 600 to send out alarm information so as to remind an operator to replace the injection molding raw material information in time, thereby ensuring that the injection molding raw material feeding process is smoothly carried out.

Step 109: theterminal device 100 sends weighing information to the weighingdevice 300 according to the injection molding raw material requirement information.

Step 110: after theex-warehouse equipment 200 receives the weighing information in the step 109, the weighingequipment 300 classifies and weighs the injection molding raw materials out of thewarehouse equipment 200 to obtain an injection molding formula meeting the order information of the injection molding products.

In an actual application process, when the carryingdevice 700 carries the injection molding raw materials out of the warehouse of theex-warehouse device 200 to the loading station of the injection molding device, theterminal device 100 controls the weighingdevice 300 to perform classified weighing on each injection molding raw material out of the warehouse of the out-warehouse device 200, so as to obtain an injection molding formula meeting the order information of the injection molding product. The injection molding formulation herein includes all kinds of injection molding materials required for producing the injection molding product in the order information of the injection molding product, and the required weight of each kind of injection molding material. The specific steps for weighing the injection molding raw materials of each category are as follows:

step 1101: theterminal device 100 receives the real-time weight information of each type of injection molding raw material discharged from the dischargingdevice 200 sent by the weighingdevice 300.

The material sucking equipment sucks the injection molding raw material positioned at a feeding station of the injection molding equipment onto the weighing device. The weigher transmits the real-time weight of each type of injection molding material located on the weigher to theterminal device 100. Theterminal device 100 determines to execute step 1102 or step 1103 according to the real-time weight of each type of injection molding raw material on the weighing device.

Step 1102: under the condition that the real-time weight of each type of injection molding raw material is less than the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding raw material, theterminal device 100 controls the weighingdevice 300 to continuously suck the corresponding type of injection molding raw material until the real-time weight of each type of injection molding raw material is equal to the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding raw material.

Step 1103: under the condition that the real-time weight of each type of injection molding raw material is greater than the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding raw material, theterminal device 100 controls the weighingdevice 300 to spit out the corresponding injection molding raw material until the real-time weight of each type of injection molding raw material is equal to the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding raw material.

In some cases, when the real-time weight of each type of injection molding material on the weigher is equal to the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding material, the corresponding type of injection molding material on the weigher is placed into thefeeding apparatus 400, and then steps 111 and 112 are performed. And (6) repeating thesteps 110 to 112 until all kinds of injection molding raw materials meeting the order information of the injection molding product are put into the injection molding equipment. That is, the weighingapparatus 300 performs steps 111 and 112 once each type of injection molding material is weighed.

In other cases, when the real-time weight of each type of injection molding material on the weigher is equal to the required weight of the corresponding type of injection molding material, the corresponding type of injection molding material on the weigher is placed into thecharging device 400 until all types of injection molding material matching the order information of the injection molding product are placed into thecharging device 400. Under the control of theterminal device 100, the injection molding recipe satisfying the order information of the injection molding product is obtained, and theterminal device 100 may execute the steps 111 and 112 once.
