Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transportation and conveying technology, specifically a mold conveying structure. Background Technology
[0002] In some agricultural product and fruit processing production lines, the shape of the product needs to be pressed and shaped by a mold before it can reach the ideal state for sale. The mold is generally divided into upper and lower mold structures. After the shaping is completed, the upper mold needs to be opened to take out the pressed product. After collection, the raw material to be pressed needs to be placed on the lower mold. The upper mold is first transported to the press position. Therefore, the lower mold needs to be transported to the same position as the upper mold and closed before pressing can be carried out.
[0003] The following problems exist in the process of closing the upper and lower molds: the lower mold is heavy, and the raw material to be pressed is placed on its cavity. Ordinary transportation methods, such as hoisting or transfer vehicles, are very inconvenient. Furthermore, during the lower mold's transport, misalignment and improper operation of the transport devices often cause positional deviations, making subsequent adjustments difficult. Most importantly, when the upper mold is transported to the lower mold's position, positioning issues prevent proper mold closing between the two molds. Therefore, a conveyor line structure for the lower mold of a forming die is proposed to accurately adjust the conveying position during transport, achieving precise positioning and improving overall processing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a mold conveying structure to solve the problems of inconvenient transportation, inaccurate positioning, and inconvenient mold closing of the lower mold after it is filled with materials.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A mold conveying structure includes a first conveying device, a second conveying device, and a third conveying device arranged sequentially along the transport direction. A press is provided above the third conveying device. The third conveying device transports the lower mold to the bottom of the press and then stops so that it can be closed with the upper mold.
[0007] The second conveying device has a guide platform on one side for conveying and guiding the lower mold, and a first stop for restricting the movement of the lower mold on the other side of the second conveying device. The second conveying device has a first conveying component whose conveying direction is parallel to the length direction of the guide platform. The second conveying device also has a second conveying component arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying component. The second conveying component can be raised and lowered.
[0008] The third conveying device is equipped with a second stop to prevent the lower mold from moving so that it can be closed after it is aligned with the position of the upper mold.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the second conveying device also includes a movable top head, which is arranged parallel to the guide table and connected to the first drive source. When the top head moves to one side of the guide table, it pushes the lower mold for adjustment.
[0010] The top surface of the top head is higher than the first conveying component and lower than the top surface of the second conveying component after it is raised.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the second conveying device includes a support frame, a side bracket is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame, and several support rollers are rotatably installed on the top of the side bracket. The support rollers are located on the discharge side of the second conveying device, and their top surfaces are flush with the top surface of the raised second conveying component.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, a guide plate is also fixedly installed on the top of the side support, and the guide plate and the guide table are arranged parallel to each other.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the first conveying device includes a stand, a third conveying component is provided on the top of the stand for conveying the lower mold, and guide strips are provided on both sides of the stand for guiding the edge of the lower mold.
[0014] The discharge side of the third conveying component is connected to the feed side of the first conveying component.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the third conveying device also includes a base and a fourth conveying component. The second stop is installed on the base, and the top surface of the base has several support platforms arranged at intervals. The fourth conveying component is located within the intervals and can be arranged to move up and down.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, a recessed positioning groove is provided on the top of one side of the support platform. The positioning groove is used to press against the bottom edge of the lower mold. A pusher assembly is movably provided on the side of the support platform opposite to the positioning groove to push the lower mold to press against the positioning groove.
[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, multiple columns are fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a top seat is fixedly installed on the top of the columns. The drive source of the press is fixedly installed on the top seat.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. In this application, the mold (lower mold) is automatically conveyed and its arrangement is automatically adjusted during transportation by the first conveying device, the second conveying device, and the third conveying device, so that the conveyed molds can be transported to the bottom of the press in the same arrangement posture for accurate mold closing. During the transportation of the mold by the third conveying device, the mold closing position is determined by the second stop. After the mold is closed, the second stop descends to release the obstruction on the mold after mold closing, so as to send the mold after mold closing outward.
[0020] 2. The guide strips on the first conveying device guide the mold being conveyed, ensuring a seamless transition with the second conveying device during transport. Guided by the guide platform and guide plate on the second conveying device, the mold can enter normally. The first stop restricts the mold, achieving initial blocking and positioning. The pusher head then presses the mold against the edge of the guide platform, achieving a second pressing and positioning, thus adjusting the mold's position and preventing large positional deviations during transport to the third conveying device. After entering the third conveying device, the second stop prevents mold closing and positioning. The pusher assembly pushes the mold against the positioning groove, clamping the lower mold and facilitating mold closing and subsequent pressing.
[0021] 3. By automating positioning and conveying, manual intervention is reduced during transportation, which reduces workload, improves positioning accuracy, and ensures the efficiency of the entire production line. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments. The description in this section is merely exemplary and explanatory, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is as follows: a mold conveying structure, including a first conveying device 1, a second conveying device 2, and a third conveying device 3 arranged sequentially along the transport direction. The first conveying device 1, the second conveying device 2, and the third conveying device 3 are all part of the entire processing production line. The lower mold of the entire mold is transported on the first conveying device 1, the second conveying device 2, and the third conveying device 3, and the product to be pressed is arranged on the lower mold. The second conveying device 2 is located in the middle of the first conveying device 1 and the third conveying device 3, and is used to change and adjust the transport direction of the mold, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the transport direction of the first conveying device 1 and the transport direction of the third conveying device 3 are perpendicular to each other. That is, after the mold is transported from the first conveying device 1 to the second conveying device 2, the mold is sent out from the second conveying device 2 along the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction to the third conveying device 3. A press 4 is set above the third conveying device 3. The third conveying device 3 transports the lower mold to the bottom of the press 4 and then stops. Then the upper mold is placed on the lower mold to complete the mold closing. The press 4 applies pressure to the upper mold and the lower mold to press the product.
[0033] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the second conveying device 2 has a guide platform 21 on its side for conveying and guiding the lower mold. The end of the guide platform 21 has a guide bevel. On the other side of the second conveying device 2, a first stop 22 is provided to restrict the movement of the lower mold. Specifically, the first stop 22 can be a stop switch, meaning that after contact with the mold, the conveying to the side of the first stop 22 stops. The first stop 22 and the side of the guide platform 21 intersect. The second conveying device 2 has a first conveying assembly 24 whose conveying direction is parallel to the length direction of the guide platform 21. The second conveying device 2 also has a second conveying assembly 25 arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 24. The second conveying assembly 25 can... In the lifting arrangement, specifically, the first conveying component 24 consists of multiple conveying roller components, and the second conveying component 25 consists of a conveyor chain component. A lifting machine is set below the second conveying component 25 to drive it up and down. When the first conveying component 24 moves the mold towards the first stop 22, the second conveying component 25 descends to the lower side of the first conveying component 24 so that the first conveying component 24 can convey normally. After the mold and the first stop 22 are pressed against each other, the second conveying component 25 rises up to contact the mold and lift the mold away from the first conveying component 24. Then, when the second conveying component 25 is started, the mold can be sent to the third conveying device 3.
[0034] The third conveying device 3 is equipped with a second stop 31 to prevent the lower mold from moving so that it can be closed after corresponding with the upper mold. Specifically, the second stop 31 is a blocking cylinder. The blocking cylinder is existing technology and will not be described here. The second stop 31 is mainly used to block the continuous movement of the lower mold during transportation so that the lower mold can move to the accurate position to close with the upper mold.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the above embodiments, the second conveying device 2 includes a support frame 27, a side bracket 28 fixedly mounted on one side of the support frame 27, and a plurality of support rollers 26 rotatably mounted on the top of the side bracket 28. The support rollers 26 are located on the discharge side of the second conveying device 2, and their top surfaces are flush with the top surface of the second conveying assembly 25 when raised. The second conveying device 2 also includes a movable top head 23, which is arranged parallel to the guide table 21 and connected to a first drive source. In this embodiment, the first drive source is a drive cylinder mounted on the side bracket 28, and the output shaft of the drive cylinder is fixedly mounted to the top head 23. (Refer to the attached figure.) Figure 5 As shown, when the cylinder output shaft extends and drives the top head 23 to move towards the guide table 21, it pushes the lower mold to adjust the position of the lower mold.
[0036] The top surface of the top head 23 is higher than the first conveying component 24 and lower than the top surface of the second conveying component 25 after it is raised. When the second conveying component 25 is raised, it loses its blocking effect on the edge of the lower mold. When transporting to the side of the third conveying device 3, the lower mold is smoothly sent out with the support of the support roller 26.
[0037] A guide plate 29 is also fixedly installed on the top of the side support 28. The guide plate 29 and the guide table 21 are arranged parallel to each other. The end of the guide plate 29 has an inclined guide edge, which facilitates the transfer of the mold into the second conveying device 2.
[0038] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, the first conveying device 1 includes a frame 11, and a third conveying component 12 is provided on the top of the frame 11. The third conveying component 12 is a conveyor chain assembly used to convey the lower mold. Guide strips 13 for guiding the edge of the lower mold are also provided on both sides of the frame 11. The discharge side of the third conveying component 12 is connected to the feed side of the first conveying component 24 to achieve a smooth transport transition with the second conveying device 2.
[0039] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, in a preferred embodiment of the above, the third conveying device 3 further includes a base 32 and a fourth conveying assembly 34. The second stop 31 is mounted on the base 32. The top surface of the base 32 has a plurality of support platforms 33 arranged at intervals. The fourth conveying assembly 34 is located within the intervals and can be arranged to move up and down. Specifically, the fourth conveying assembly 34 is also a conveyor chain assembly used to transport the lower mold to the support platform 33. Under the obstruction of the second stop 31, the fourth conveying assembly 34 stops continuing to convey the lower mold and retracts downward, placing the lower mold on the top of the support platform 33 to facilitate mold closing and pressing.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the above, a recessed positioning groove 331 is provided on the top of one side of the support platform 33. The positioning groove 331 is used to press against the bottom edge of the lower mold. A pusher assembly 35 is movably provided on the side of the support platform 33 opposite to the positioning groove 331, which pushes the lower mold to press against the positioning groove 331. Specifically, a drive hydraulic cylinder is connected to the pusher assembly 35. When the hydraulic cylinder pushes the pusher assembly 35 to move towards the lower mold, it can press against the lower mold together with the positioning groove 331 to clamp it, so as to facilitate the mold closing and pressing operations.
[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, a plurality of columns 5 are fixedly provided on the top of the base 32, and a top seat 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the columns 5. The drive source of the press 4 is fixedly provided on the top seat 6, and the drive source of the press 4 is a hydraulic cylinder.
