Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molded gourd technology, and more specifically to a quick-assembly plastic molded gourd mold and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] A mold for molding gourds, or simply mold, is a mold with intaglio patterns that restricts the growth of gourds. The method of use is to put a young gourd into the mold while it is growing, and then take it out when it matures. The mold restricts the growth of the gourd's shape, forming patterns that look as if they were carved with a knife.

[0003] Traditional gourd mold making materials mainly include tile molds, wooden molds, and paper molds. In recent years, plaster molds have also been used. Making molds is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The main mold types are integral molds and multi-lobed molds. Integral molds need to be destroyed when harvesting gourds, making them disposable. Multi-lobed molds can be reused multiple times, but they are often firmly bound together with wire during assembly, which is very labor-intensive and resource-intensive. Moreover, because the mold material is opaque, it is impossible to see the growth of the gourds inside. One can only make a rough judgment based on experience, resulting in a relatively low success rate for gourd molding. After maturity, when the mold is opened, it is found that many gourds have not fully grown into the mold, or have rotten or damaged areas. These molded gourds with internal rot still consume nutrients, or even more, and remolding requires waiting until the next planting season, wasting time and effort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technical solutions, the present invention aims to provide a quick-assembly plastic molding die for gourds.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of using the above-mentioned mold.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] A quick-assembly plastic molding die for a gourd includes an inner mold and an outer mold, wherein the outer mold is fitted onto the inner mold.

[0008] The inner mold includes a first inner mold, a second inner mold, and a bottom mold. The bottom mold is installed at the bottom inside the first inner mold and the second inner mold. The first inner mold and the second inner mold are connected to each other, forming a cavity between them for holding the hoist. The bottom mold is located inside the cavity.

[0009] The outer mold has a cavity for fitting the inner mold.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the two side walls of the outer mold are inclined outward from bottom to top, so that the inner mold and the outer mold can achieve angle self-locking.

[0011] In the above technical solution, a first groove is provided on the inner surface of the first inner mold, a second groove is provided on the inner surface of the second inner mold, two first positioning posts and two first positioning holes are provided on the inner surface of the first inner mold, and a second positioning hole matching the first positioning post and a second positioning post matching the first positioning hole are provided on the inner surface of the second groove.

[0012] In the above technical solution, a first mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the first groove, a third positioning hole is provided on the groove wall of the first mounting groove, a second mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the second groove, and a third positioning post is provided on the bottom mold, the third positioning post matching the third positioning hole.

[0013] In the above technical solution, a third groove is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the first inner mold. The upper end of the third groove is connected to the first mounting groove, and its lower end penetrates the bottom of the first inner mold. A fourth groove is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the second inner mold. The upper end of the fourth groove is connected to the second mounting groove, and its lower end penetrates the bottom of the second inner mold. After the second inner mold and the first inner mold are connected, the third groove and the fourth groove are opposite to each other to form a through hole.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a first outer edge is provided at the upper end of the outer mold, and a hanging ear is provided on each of the opposite sides of the outer edge, so that the mold can be tied and fixed to the hoist frame with rope after it is installed.

[0015] In the above technical solution, both the outer surface of the first inner mold and the outer surface of the second inner mold are provided with a second outer edge to facilitate demolding.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the first inner mold, the second inner mold, the bottom mold, and the outer mold are all made of transparent plastic.

[0017] The method of using the above-mentioned quick-installation plastic molded gourd mold includes the following steps:

[0018] Insert the bottom mold into the first inner mold, place the selected gourd on the bottom mold in the first groove, align the second inner mold with the first inner mold, and put the outer mold on the outside. Observe the growth of the gourd inside the mold. If there is a problem with the growth of the gourd, disassemble the installed quick-install plastic molded gourd, select a new gourd, and repeat the above process to install the mold and make the molded gourd. If the gourd grows normally, after 30 days of growth and the gourd is fully shaped, disassemble the installed quick-install plastic molded gourd on the gourd rack and let the gourd grow on the gourd rack under natural conditions for at least 30 more days.

[0019] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0020] 1. This invention uses transparent plastic as the mold material, which makes it easy to observe and monitor the growth of gourds inside the mold, promptly identify gourds with growth problems, remove defective products, and facilitate mold disassembly, so that other gourds can be selected and molded again in the same year for remedial purposes.

[0021] 2. The two side plates of the outer mold of the present invention are inclined outward from bottom to top. After the first inner mold, the second inner mold and the bottom mold are assembled, they are inserted into the outer mold. Their angle forms a self-locking mechanism. Since the size of the gourd's own growth is exactly opposite to the size of the cavity, the gourd cannot open the mold of the present invention by its own growth force.

[0022] 3. The present invention uses positioning pins and positioning holes to connect and sleeve the first inner mold, the second inner mold, the bottom mold and the outer mold, which facilitates disassembly. The mold can be reused multiple times after cleaning and disinfection. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Instructions for using the above-mentioned quick-installation plastic molded gourd mold:

[0034] Insert the bottom mold into the first inner mold, place the selected gourd on the bottom mold in the first groove, align the second inner mold with the first inner mold, and put the outer mold on the outside. Observe the growth of the gourd inside the mold. If there is a problem with the growth of the gourd, disassemble the installed quick-install plastic molded gourd, select a new gourd, and repeat the above process to install the mold and make the molded gourd. If the gourd grows normally, after 30 days of growth and the gourd is fully shaped, disassemble the installed quick-install plastic molded gourd on the gourd rack and let the gourd grow on the gourd rack under natural conditions for at least 30 more days.

[0035] Experiments have shown that it takes 60 days for gourds to lignify. If gourds are grown in a mold for 60 days, their quality is poor. However, by using the method of this invention, gourds are first grown in a mold for 30 days to set their shape, and then after being removed from the mold, they are grown in a natural environment for another 30 days, resulting in a much higher quality than the former.

[0036] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0038] The present invention has been described above by way of example. It should be noted that any simple modifications, alterations or other equivalent substitutions that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort without departing from the core of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
