Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of soft finger molds, specifically to a cavity soft finger mold and its processing method. Background Technology
[0002] A cavity soft robotic finger is a type of robotic finger composed of material and an internally connected cavity, exhibiting outstanding performance in material grasping. Due to the complex surface shape and internal cavity shape, manufacturing a cavity soft robotic finger is an industrial challenge.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN216400223U discloses a modular pneumatic soft humanoid finger and its mold for segmented bending. The finger includes multiple bionic phalanges connected sequentially by magnetic attraction. Each bionic phalange includes a silicone-made closed cavity and an air tube communicating with the inside of the closed cavity. The closed cavity is a columnar cavity with an arched cross-section. The planar portion of the sidewall of the closed cavity is provided with a strain limiting layer that restricts axial elongation, and the arc-shaped portion of the sidewall of the closed cavity is provided with a fiber winding layer that restricts radial expansion, so that the closed cavity bends towards the strain limiting layer when inflated. The mold includes a first mold and a second mold. The inner cavity of the first mold is provided with a cavity rod with an arched cross-section. The inner cavity of the second mold and the inner cavity of the first mold are both arched in shape and cross-sectional shape, and the cross-sectional area of the second mold is larger than that of the inner cavity of the first mold, so that the injection molded part in the first mold can be placed in the inner cavity of the second mold.
[0004] Hollow soft robotic fingers are silicone products with a particularly complex structure. To process them, complex molds need to be designed. One type of modular pneumatic soft humanoid finger, achieving segmented bending, and its mold must possess geometric features that strictly correspond to the inner cavity and outer surface of the hollow soft robotic finger, and must also fulfill the necessary mechanical structure requirements. Typically, mold design demands rigorous mechanical structural experience from designers, and manufacturing high-precision molds is costly. Therefore, this processing method is usually only used for large-scale production in the later stages of product development, and is not suitable for product innovation, improvement, optimization, iteration, and small-scale production verification during the product development phase. Furthermore, the internal structure of hollow soft robotic fingers is complex, often requiring the creation of cavities with complex structures and different extension directions within the finger. While the aforementioned molds can machine the inner cavity using cavity rods, if the cavity rods are designed to extend in different directions, they will become stuck when being removed, causing production difficulties. Therefore, existing molds suffer from limitations in small-scale production verification and the difficulty in machining complex internal cavities. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a cavity soft finger mold, comprising a first upper mold, a first lower mold, a first mold core rod, a first mold core section, a second upper mold, a second lower mold, a second mold core rod, and a second mold core section. The invention also provides a method for processing a cavity soft finger, comprising the following steps: installing the first mold core section, a first-step mold closing, a first-step demolding, installing the second mold core section, a second-step mold closing, and a second-step demolding. This cavity soft finger mold has the advantages of being suitable for small-scale production verification and facilitating the processing of complex internal cavities.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A hollow soft finger mold includes a first upper mold and a first lower mold, with a first mold cavity between the first upper mold and the first lower mold. The mold mold further includes a first mold core rod, a first mold core section, a second upper mold, a second lower mold, a second mold core rod, and a second mold core section. The first mold core section is detachably connected to the first mold core rod and is located within the first mold cavity. A side plate is provided between the first upper mold and the first lower mold, extending into the first mold cavity. A second mold cavity is provided between the second upper mold and the second lower mold, with the second mold core section located within the second mold cavity.
[0008] This setup achieves the advantages of being suitable for small-scale production verification and facilitating the fabrication of complex internal cavities.
[0009] A method for processing a hollow soft finger utilizes a hollow soft finger mold. The mold includes a first upper mold and a first lower mold, with a first mold cavity between them. It also includes a first mold core rod, a first mold core section, a second upper mold, a second lower mold, a second mold core rod, and a second mold core section. The first mold core section is detachably connected to the first mold core rod and is located within the first mold cavity. A side plate extends into the first mold cavity between the first upper mold and the first lower mold. A second mold cavity is formed between the second upper mold and the second lower mold, with the second mold core section located within the second mold cavity.
[0010] The hollow soft finger processing method includes the following steps:
[0011] S1. Install the first mold core section: Install the first mold core section onto the first mold core rod, extend the first mold core rod into the first mold cavity and position the first mold core section inside the first mold cavity, and install the side plate onto the first lower mold and extend the side plate into the first mold cavity;
[0012] S2, First step: mold closing: add thermoplastic material into the first mold cavity and close the first upper mold and the first lower mold. Heat the thermoplastic material and melt it in the first mold cavity, then cool and solidify it to form a workpiece.
[0013] S3, First demolding process: Disassemble the first upper mold and the first lower mold, remove the first mold core section, the workpiece and the side plate from the first mold cavity, pull the first mold core rod out from the inside of the workpiece, remove the side plate from the workpiece to form an opening on the workpiece, then adjust the position and angle of the first mold core section inside the workpiece and remove the first mold core section through the opening;
[0014] S4. Install the second mold core section: Install the second mold core section onto the second mold core rod, place the workpiece on the second mold core section and make the second mold core section block the inside of the opening, extend the second mold core rod into the second mold cavity and make the second mold core section located in the second mold cavity;

Then cool and solidify the material and close the opening.
[0016] S6. Second demolding process: Disassemble the second upper mold and the second lower mold, and remove the workpiece from the second mold cavity.
[0017] This design allows for the separate removal of the first mold core rod and the first mold core section from within the workpiece. This facilitates angle adjustment during the removal of the first mold core section and allows for removal from the opening on the workpiece, thus overcoming the problem of mold components being unable to be removed from the workpiece when machining complex internal cavities. This achieves the advantage of easily machining complex internal cavities. When adjustments to the machining process or changes to the workpiece size are required, different sizes of workpieces can be machined by individually replacing the first mold core rod, the first mold core section, the second mold core rod, and the second mold core section. This facilitates changes in product size, reduces the difficulty of mold development, and is suitable for product innovation, improvement, optimization, iteration, and small-scale production verification during the product development stage.

[0026] Preferably, the side plate is fixedly connected with a positioning strip, which is engaged with the first upper mold and the first lower mold respectively;
[0027] Step S1 further includes the following steps:
[0028] Make the positioning strip engage with the first upper mold and the second upper mold, and position the positioning strip.
[0029] This setup ensures the accuracy of the side panel position, thereby guaranteeing the machining precision of the opening.
[0030] Preferably, at least two first mold core rods are provided;
[0031] Step S3 further includes the following steps:

[0040] The second mold core rod is pulled out from inside the workpiece, the position and angle of the second mold core section are adjusted inside the workpiece, and the first mold core section is removed.
[0041] This design facilitates the removal of the second mold core rod and the second mold core section, overcoming the problem that the mold components cannot be removed from the workpiece when machining complex internal cavities, thus achieving the advantage of easily machining complex internal cavities.
[0042] Preferably, at least two second mold core rods are provided;
[0043] Step S6 further includes the following steps:

[0048] Multiple second mold core sections are removed from the workpiece in sequence.
[0049] With this setup, it is possible to process workpieces with more complex internal cavity structures and to easily remove the second mold core section.
[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved beneficial technical effects:
[0051] 1. By removing the first mold core rod and the first mold core section separately from the inside of the workpiece, the angle can be adjusted more conveniently during the removal of the first mold core section, which facilitates the removal of the first mold core rod and the first mold core section. This overcomes the problem that the mold assembly cannot be removed from the workpiece when machining complex internal cavities, thus achieving the advantage of conveniently machining complex internal cavities.
[0052] 2. During the production process, the mold can process the first mold core rod and the first mold core section separately, which can facilitate the processing of more complex mold core sections, enabling the mold core sections to process workpieces with more complex internal shapes, and further facilitating the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0053] 3. By setting the side plate, the workpieces processed by the first upper mold and the first lower mold form an opening at the side plate, and the outline of the opening corresponds to the external shape of the side plate. This allows the first mold core section to be removed through the opening, which facilitates the processing of the first mold core section and further facilitates the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0054] 4. Since the second mold core section only needs to block the inside of the opening to achieve the closure of the opening, the second mold core section can be designed to be smaller than the size of the first mold core section, so it can be easily removed. Thus, while processing the workpiece, it can also be easily removed, which further facilitates the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0055] 5. When it is necessary to adjust the processing technology or change the workpiece size, different sizes of workpieces can be processed by replacing the first mold core rod, the first mold core section, the second mold core rod, and the second mold core section with different sizes. This facilitates changes in product size and is especially suitable for product innovation, improvement, optimization, iteration, and small-scale production verification during the product development stage.

[0074] This embodiment has the following advantages:
[0075] By removing the first mold core rod 15 and the first mold core section 17 from the inside of the workpiece respectively, the angle can be adjusted more conveniently during the removal of the first mold core section 17, and the first mold core section 17 can be removed through the opening on the workpiece. This facilitates the removal of the first mold core rod 15 and the first mold core section 17, overcoming the problem that the mold assembly cannot be removed from the workpiece when machining complex internal cavities, thus achieving the advantage of conveniently machining complex internal cavities.
[0076] During the production process, the mold can be processed separately for the first mold core rod 15 and the first mold core section 17, which can facilitate the processing of more complex mold core sections, enabling the mold core sections to process workpieces with more complex internal shapes, and further facilitating the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0077] The side plate 31 allows the workpieces processed by the first upper mold 11 and the first lower mold 12 to form an opening at the side plate 31, the outline of which corresponds to the external shape of the side plate 31. This allows the first mold core section 17 to be removed through the opening, facilitating the processing of the first mold core section 17 and further simplifying the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0078] Since the second mold core section 27 only needs to block the inside of the opening to achieve the closure of the opening, the second mold core section 27 can be designed to be smaller than the size of the first mold core section 17, so it can be easily removed. Thus, while processing the workpiece, it can also be easily removed, which further facilitates the processing of workpieces with complex internal cavities.
[0079] When it is necessary to adjust the processing technology or change the workpiece size, workpieces of different sizes can be processed by replacing the first mold core rod 15, the first mold core section 17, the second mold core rod 25 and the second mold core section 27 of different sizes. This facilitates changes in product size and is suitable for product innovation, improvement, optimization and iteration and small-scale production verification during the product development stage.
[0080] Inserting the first snap plate 16 into the first slot 14 enables the installation and positioning of the first mold core section 17 and the first mold core rod 15, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the first mold core section 17 and the first mold core rod 15, and providing support force to the first mold core rod 15 and the first mold core section 17 after mold closing, thus ensuring the machining accuracy of the workpiece.
[0081] Inserting the second snap plate 26 into the second slot 24 enables the installation and positioning of the second mold core section 27 and the second mold core rod 25, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the second mold core section 27 and the second mold core rod 25, and providing support force to the second mold core rod 25 and the second mold core section 27 after mold closing, thus ensuring the machining accuracy of the workpiece.
[0082] The positioning strip 32 is engaged with the first upper mold 11 and the first lower mold 12, thereby positioning the side plate 31 and ensuring the accuracy of the side plate 31's position, thus ensuring the processing precision of the opening.
[0083] By setting at least two first mold core rods 15, different first mold core sections 17 can be supported by the first mold core rods 15 to block the openings at different positions, thereby enabling the processing of workpieces with more complex internal cavity structures and facilitating the removal of the first mold core sections 17.
[0084] By setting multiple first mold core sections 17 on the first mold core rod 15, different openings can be blocked by different first mold core sections 17, thereby enabling the processing of workpieces with more complex internal cavity structures and facilitating the removal of the first mold core sections 17.
[0085] By removing the second mold core rod 25 and the second mold core section 27 from the inside of the workpiece respectively, the angle can be adjusted more conveniently during the removal of the second mold core section 27, which facilitates the removal of the second mold core rod 25 and the second mold core section 27. This overcomes the problem that the mold assembly cannot be removed from the workpiece when machining complex internal cavities, thus achieving the advantage of conveniently machining complex internal cavities.
[0086] By setting at least two second mold core rods 25, different second mold core sections 27 can be supported by the second mold core rods 25 to block the openings at different positions, thereby enabling the processing of workpieces with more complex internal cavity structures and facilitating the removal of the second mold core sections 27.
[0087] By setting multiple second mold core sections 27 on the second mold core rod 25, different openings can be blocked by different second mold core sections 27, thereby enabling the processing of workpieces with more complex internal cavity structures and facilitating the removal of the second mold core sections 27.
