Apparatus for measuring surface temperature of molded product
Provided is an apparatus for determining whether a molded product is defective by sensing a surface temperature of a mold or the molded product in a contact type or a non-contact type using an infrared ray, without inserting a temperature sensor in the mold. In an injection mold robot transfer apparatus that includes absorption tools for absorbing a mold and transferring a molded product after determining whether the molded product is defective, the apparatus includes a support bar for fixing the absorption tools and including a vertical recess, a crossbar fixed by the vertical recess of the support bar, a forward and backward shaft fixed by the crossbar, a bracket fixed by the forward and backward shaft, and a temperature sensor fixed on the bracket.
1. An apparatus for measuring a surface temperature of a molded product, the apparatus comprising:
a support bar including a vertical recess;
an absorption tool vertically movably attached to the vertical recess of the support bar, the absorption tool being configured to hold an injection mold having a molded product;
a crossbar vertically movably attached to the vertical recess of the support bar, the crossbar being extended perpendicular to the vertical recess of the support bar;
a forward and backward shaft horizontally movably attached to the crossbar, the forward and backward bar being extended perpendicular to both the vertical recess and the cross bar;
a bracket attached to and movable along the forward and backward shaft, the bracket being configured to rotate around an axis of the forward and backward shaft; and
a temperature sensor attached to the bracket, the temperature sensor being configured to face the molded product and rotate around a vertical axis thereof,
wherein the apparatus is configured to measure a surface temperature of the molded product and determine that the molded product is defective when the measured surface temperature exceeds a predetermined standard deviation.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the crossbar comprises a horizontal recess, the backward and backward shaft is attached movably along the horizontal recess of the cross bar.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises an adjusting tool having an arc-shaped recess, a coupling plate is rotatably mounted to the arc-shaped recess, and the temperature sensor is mounted on the coupling plate.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the coupling plate is configured to twist within a recessed range defined by the arc-shaped recess in order to change a location of the temperature sensor and to be fixed by a fixing unit including a bolt.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the temperature sensor is one of a non-contact infrared ray temperature sensor and a contact temperature sensor.
