Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts mold drying technology, and in particular to a constant temperature drying device for making automotive parts foam molds. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive parts, the production of foam molds is one of the key steps. Generally, after foam molding, the foam mold needs to be dried to remove moisture and stabilize its internal structure, thereby ensuring the precision and quality of subsequent casting or molding processes.
[0003] Traditional drying equipment generally adopts a multi-layer rack structure. During operation, foam molds are placed on each layer of racks for drying to improve the space utilization of the drying equipment. Furthermore, in order to further improve the efficiency of the drying equipment, existing technologies have proposed improvement schemes, such as using an adjustable support structure to adapt to foam molds of different heights by changing the layer height.
[0004] However, this adjustment method can usually only achieve uniform adjustment of the entire layer height. However, automotive parts have different shapes, and the corresponding foam molds also have features such as curved surfaces, irregular structures, or local protrusions. This makes it difficult for the support structure of the drying device to flexibly adapt to these molds, which in turn leads to a series of problems such as uneven drying, mold deformation, and wasted space. Utility Model Content

[0019] Although this invention may be described with respect to a particular application or industry, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
[0020] Example: A constant temperature drying device for manufacturing foam molds for automotive parts, see reference. Figures 1-4 The device includes: a chassis 1; a control cabinet 2 fixedly mounted on the chassis 1; an air outlet 3 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the chassis 1, which is connected to the control cabinet 2. The control cabinet 2 introduces circulating drying airflow into the chassis 1 through the air outlet 3 to achieve the drying function of the device; a rotating disk 4 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the chassis 1, which can be driven to rotate the foam mold to dry it evenly; and also includes: a support column 6 fixedly mounted on the rotating disk 4; a mounting base 5 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support column 6, which is plugged into the rotating disk 4 to enable the disassembly of the support column 6; and a support rod 8 fixedly mounted on the support column 6. Four support rods 8 form a group, and each group of support rods 8 is arranged around the support column 6 at equal intervals. A total of four groups of support rods 8 are arranged on the support column 6. A fastener is arranged between the support rods 8 and the support column 6 to enable the disassembly of the support rods 8. An upright 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rods 8, and the uprights 10 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the support rods 8. A fixing frame 12 is fixedly arranged between the support rods 8. The fixing frame 12 is provided with a snap-fit groove 13 that cooperates with the upright 10. It is fixed by snap-fitting with the upright 10 to enable the disassembly of the fixing frame 12. A support net 14 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 12.
[0021] See Figures 2-3The support column 6 has annular grooves 7, which are arranged in four layers. Each layer of annular groove 7 is equipped with a set of support rods 8. The support rods 8 are fixedly installed on the support column 6 by plugging in. After being inserted, the support rods 8 are located below the annular grooves 7. The fasteners include: two fixing rings 9 assembled in the annular grooves 7. The fixing rings 9 together will surround the annular grooves 7 and fix the support rods 8 by restricting their position; and fixing bolts 11 assembled between the two fixing rings 9 to lock the position of the fixing rings 9.
[0022] Removing the support column 6 from the rotating disk 4 allows for convenient subsequent adjustments. In this device, each group of four support rods 8 and four support nets 14 form a support frame unit, which together constitutes a complete support plane. By removing the fixing bolts 11, the fixing ring 9 can be removed from the support column 6, thus disassembling the fastener. Subsequently, the number of layers of support rods 8 can be increased or decreased, allowing for free adjustment of the internal support height of this device.
[0023] Furthermore, through the above structure, this device can make targeted adjustments to foam molds with special structures. For example, suppose a foam mold has a stepped structure or an irregular shape with a slender rod. The characteristic of this type of shape is that it has a component with a cross-sectional dimension significantly smaller than the main body and extending longitudinally. In this case, by disassembling the corresponding fixed frame 12 and support net 14, space can be provided for the extension of the foam mold. The space outside the extension can be used to place other small foam molds, or the support net 14 can be readjusted to adapt to the placement requirements of another foam mold with a special structure.
[0024] Therefore, this device can be customized to adjust the space according to the structure of the foam mold, improve the space utilization of the device, and thus improve the efficiency of drying the foam mold.
[0025] See Figures 1-3 It also includes: a magnet 16 fixedly installed on the support rod 8, which will form a magnetic connection with the fixed frame 12; the use of the magnet 16 not only facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, but also effectively enhances the connection stability between the support rod 8 and the fixed frame 12, thereby improving the overall stability of the support plane formed by the support net 14.
[0026] See Figure 4 It also includes a handle 17 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 12. The handle 17 makes it easy for the operator to apply force to disassemble, thereby improving the ease of use of the device.
[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 5The outer end of the support rod 8 is provided with a docking groove 18, and it also includes a stabilizing rod 19 that is plugged into and fixedly installed between the docking grooves 18 on two adjacent support rods 8. The stabilizing rod 19 provides additional support force to the support rod 8 to strengthen the structural stability of the support plane.
[0028] See Figure 5 It also includes a plug-in fixed installation between two adjacent stabilizer bars 19 in the upper and lower positions. After the support plane is customized and some support bars 8 are removed, the stabilizer bars 19 in the missing positions are reinforced by the plug-in block 15, which will ensure that the stabilizer bars 19 provide stable support to the support plane.
[0029] Although the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The scope of the following claims should be given the broadest interpretation in order to cover all variations and equivalent structures and functions.
