[0036] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, Figure 2 4 As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the present embodiment provides a mold quick-change device, which comprises a circular-arc-shaped middle sleeve 1, a side mold 2 detachably annularly abutting the inner circumferential portion of the middle sleeve 1, and a pressing plate 3 provided at one end of the middle sleeve 1 along the circumferential direction thereof and used for limiting a first end portion 21 of the side mold 2 along the circumferential direction thereof. The mold quick-change device further comprises a quick-change mechanism 4 provided at the other end of the middle sleeve 1 along the circumferential direction thereof and used for limiting or releasing the limitation of a second end portion 22 of the side mold 2 along the circumferential direction thereof. The middle sleeve 1 and the side mold 2 are mutually clamped through a positioning groove and a positioning flange perpendicular to the axial direction of the side mold 2, wherein one of the positioning groove and the positioning flange is provided at the inner circumferential portion of the middle sleeve 1, and the other is provided at the outer circumferential portion of the side mold 2.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, Figure 3 5 As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the present embodiment provides a mold quick-change device, which comprises a circular-arc-shaped middle sleeve 1, a side mold 2 detachably annularly abutting the inner circumferential portion of the middle sleeve 1, and a pressing plate 3 provided at one end of the middle sleeve 1 along the circumferential direction thereof and used for limiting a first end portion 21 of the side mold 2 along the circumferential direction thereof. The mold quick-change device further comprises a quick-change mechanism 4 provided at the other end of the middle sleeve 1 along the circumferential direction thereof and used for limiting or releasing the limitation of a second end portion 22 of the side mold 2 along the circumferential direction thereof. The middle sleeve 1 and the side mold 2 are mutually clamped through a positioning groove and a positioning flange perpendicular to the axial direction of the side mold 2, wherein one of the positioning groove and the positioning flange is provided at the inner circumferential portion of the middle sleeve 1, and the other is provided at the outer circumferential portion of the side mold 2.

[0038] ​​In the embodiment, the pressing surface 411 is parallel to the clamping surface 231, and the guide surface 412 is parallel to the first direction and forms an angle with the clamping surface 231. The pressing surface 411 is used to press the edge mold 2 against the middle sleeve 1 and the pressing plate 3 when the pressing rod 41 extends into the clamping groove 23. By arranging the side of the pushing rod facing the clamping groove 23 with the mutually-angled pressing surface 411 and guide surface 412, the pressing surface 411 is used to fit against the clamping surface 231, and the guide surface 412 presses the edge mold 2 against the middle sleeve 1 through the pressing surface 411. Since the guide surface 412 and the clamping surface 231 form an angle, the pushing rod can give the edge mold 2 a larger pressing force while being limited, so as to press the edge mold 2 against the middle sleeve 1. At the same time, since the edge mold 2 and the middle sleeve 1 are both arc-shaped, the inward pressing force of the second end portion 22 of the edge mold 2 makes the edge mold 2 have a tendency to slide out of the middle sleeve 1 along the first end portion 21 side, and thus the pressing force can also press the edge mold 2 against the pressing plate 3. By this arrangement, the wear between the forming mold and the mold carrier due to the gap and shaking during the bottle blowing process can be avoided, and the service life is prolonged. At the same time, the bottle blowing quality is also ensured.

[0039] Referring to Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 6, when the left end portion of the pressing rod 41 exits the clamping groove 23 to the right, the second end portion 22 of the edge mold 2 is in a free state, and at this time, the edge mold 2 can be replaced.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 5, when the left end portion of the pressing rod 41 extends into the clamping groove 23, the pressing rod 41 points from the outer side of the circumference of the edge mold 2 to the inner side of the circumference, that is, the pressing surface 411 and the clamping surface 231 also have this orientation.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 4, the above-mentioned guide surface 412 and the clamping surface 231 form an included angle β, where 0°<β<90°, and in the embodiment, β is 10°.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3 , 5 As shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned driving assembly includes a bracket 42 arranged on the middle sleeve 1, a first connecting rod 44 having one end rotatably connected to the pressing rod 41 through a first hinge point 43, and a second connecting rod 46 having one end rotatably connected to the bracket 42 through a second hinge point 45. The other end of the first connecting rod 44 and the other end of the second connecting rod 46 are rotatably connected through a third hinge point 47. By this arrangement, when the second connecting rod 46 rotates, the first connecting rod 44 can drive the pressing rod 41 to perform the extension and retraction movement.

[0043] In the embodiment, the second hinge point 45 is located on the extension line of the pressing rod 41 in the first direction, and the first connecting rod 44 and the second connecting rod 46 have an included angle a when the left extension length of the pressing rod 41 is the largest, wherein 160°≤a≤180°, so as to complete the locking of the side mold 2 by self-locking. Referring to Figure 3 As shown, it is obvious that the first connecting rod 44 and the second connecting rod 46 can be bent upward or downward when self-locked. In the embodiment, a is 180°.

[0044] The bracket 42 is provided with a guide groove 421 arranged in the first direction, and the pressing rod 41 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 421. In the embodiment, the length of the guide surface 412 in the first direction is less than or equal to the length of the guide groove 421 in the first direction. Through this arrangement, when the left extension length of the pressing rod 41 in the guide groove 421 is the largest, the guide surface 412 is still located in the guide groove 421 as a whole, which can avoid the extension of the guide surface 421 out of the guide groove 421 and the interference with the second end 22 of the side mold 2.

[0045] In the embodiment, the driving assembly further comprises a driving rod 48 rotatably connected to the bracket 42 at one end through the second hinge point 45, the driving rod 48 is fixedly connected with the second connecting rod 46, and the driving rod 48 and the second connecting rod 46 have an included angle. By rotating the driving rod 48, the push rod is driven to extend into or out of the clamping groove 23.

[0046] The working process of the embodiment will be specifically described below:

[0047] When the side mold 2 needs to be replaced, the driving rod 48 is counterclockwise rotated to make the left end of the push rod exit the clamping groove 23, so that the side mold 2 can be quickly replaced;

[0048] After the replacement is completed, the driving rod is clockwise rotated to make the left end of the push rod extend into the clamping groove 23 until the pressing surface 411 and the clamping surface 231 are attached and abutted.

[0049] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
