Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass bottle manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bottles, as everyday containers, are generally manufactured industrially using row-type bottle-making machines. The glass bottle forming process mainly involves pouring molten glass into molds to transform it into glass products with fixed geometric shapes. The glass bottle molds required for row-type bottle-making machines include primary molds, final molds, mouth molds, and bottom molds.

[0003] When switching glass bottle production, the row-type bottle making machine needs to be equipped with molds of the corresponding sizes to produce different sizes of glass bottles. Molds not used for production are removed from the row-type bottle making machine, and molds to be used for production are installed. Molds removed from the row-type bottle making machine often have oil stains, damage, or clogged pores due to bottle production, so they need to be repaired for use in the next production run.

[0004] Currently, in the mold workshop, molds awaiting repair are placed on mold trolleys equipped with whiteboards for recording. These whiteboards are divided into sections for recording mold number, repair item, repair status, and quantity. In the initial inspection area, inspectors use paint pens or oil-based markers to mark the whiteboard, recording the mold repair information. Then, the inspectors use the mold trolleys to transport the molds to the repair area. Repair personnel perform sandblasting, welding repairs, unclogging holes, and polishing. Each time the mold trolley moves to a repair area and a repair is completed, the repair personnel mark the repair status section with an oil-based marker to indicate that the mold has changed from awaiting repair to repaired. Final inspection personnel use the mold trolleys to transport the repaired molds to the final inspection area. Molds that pass inspection are then stored. Each mold has a mold number printed on its surface. Different mold types and sizes have different mold numbers. Molds that have passed inspection are stored sequentially on the warehouse shelves in the mold workshop according to their mold numbers.

[0005] Manually recording mold repair information using oil-based markers is slow. When a mistake is made with an oil-based marker, the paint mark must be manually erased before the mark is made again, which is cumbersome. For large-scale mold repairs, it is difficult to record the mold repair time in real time using oil-based markers and whiteboards, making it inconvenient to provide feedback on the mold repair progress.

[0006] Therefore, how to speed up the recording of mold repair information is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process to speed up the recording of mold maintenance information.

[0008] This invention is implemented as follows: a glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1. Place the mold to be repaired on a mold transport vehicle, which is equipped with a mold repair information display device;

[0010] The mold repair information display device includes a mold number display module, a mold repair item display module, a mold repair status display module, a mold repair time display module, and a mold quantity display module;

[0011] S2. The mold transport vehicle moves to the initial inspection work area, where an initial inspection identification signal device is installed.

[0012] The initial inspection of the mold is performed. The initial inspection identification signal device is connected to the mold maintenance information display device and sends the mold number, mold maintenance item, mold maintenance status, mold maintenance time reset, and mold maintenance quantity to the mold number display module, mold maintenance item display module, mold maintenance status display module, mold maintenance time display module, and mold quantity display module, respectively.

[0013] S3. The mold transport vehicle moves to the maintenance work area, where a project status change signal device is installed.

[0014] During mold repair, the mold repair information display device is communicatively connected to the project status change signal device, and the mold repair time display module starts timing.

[0015] After the mold repair is completed, the mold transport vehicle leaves the repair work area, and the mold repair information display device is disconnected from the project status change signal device. At this time, the mold repair time display module stops timing, and the mold repair project status display module changes from displaying the pending repair status to displaying the repaired status.

[0016] S4. The mold transport vehicle moves to the final inspection work area, where a final inspection identification signal device is installed.

[0017] Inspect the repair status of the molds, move the molds that fail the inspection to the rework transport vehicle, and leave the molds that pass the inspection in the mold transport vehicle.

[0018] The final inspection identification signal device is communicatively connected to the mold repair information display device, sends the number of molds that have passed inspection to the mold quantity display module, receives mold repair items from the mold repair item display module, and receives mold repair time from the mold repair time display module;

[0019] S5. The mold transport vehicle moves to the warehousing work area, where an warehousing identification signal device is installed.

[0020] The warehouse entry identification signal device is communicatively connected to the mold repair information display device. The mold number display module and the mold quantity display module respectively send the mold number and the number of molds that have passed inspection to the warehouse entry identification signal device.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps:

[0022] S6. The warehouse entry identification signal device is connected to the mold management workstation. The mold management workstation first searches the mold management database according to the mold number, and then updates the mold inventory quantity according to the number of molds that have passed inspection.

[0023] Furthermore, the mold repair project display module has four components, corresponding to sandblasting for cleaning, welding for repair, unclogging channels, and grinding and polishing, respectively.

[0024] The mold repair item display module, mold repair status display module, mold repair time display module, and item status change signal device are all in one correspondence.

[0025] Furthermore, in S4, the rework transport vehicle, acting as another mold transport vehicle, moves to the initial inspection work area.

[0026] Furthermore, the initial inspection identification signal device, the project status change signal device, the final inspection identification signal device, and the warehouse entry identification signal device are all mobile terminals.

[0027] Furthermore, the communication methods between the initial inspection identification signal device, the project status change signal device, the final inspection identification signal device, and the mold repair information display device are all Bluetooth, NFC, or RFID.

[0028] Furthermore, the initial inspection and identification signal device also includes a number scanning module, which is used to scan the mold image, identify the number printed on the surface of the mold, and then send the identified number to the mold number display module.

[0029] Furthermore, the mold transport vehicle is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).

[0030] Furthermore, the initial inspection work area is also equipped with an initial inspection positioning sensor, which is electrically connected to the initial inspection identification signal device;

[0031] The maintenance work area is also equipped with a maintenance completion sensor, which is electrically connected to the project status change signal device.

[0032] The final inspection work area is also equipped with a final inspection arrival sensor, which is electrically connected to the final inspection identification signal device.

[0033] Furthermore, the display screen of the mold repair information display device is an LCD screen or a digital tube display screen.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. It eliminates the need for oil-based markers and whiteboards, and installs a mold maintenance information display device on the mold transport vehicle, which makes it easy for staff to clearly view the mold maintenance information. Using the initial inspection identification signal device, project status change signal device, and final inspection identification signal device, the mold maintenance information can be easily changed, and the mold maintenance time can be automatically counted, providing convenient feedback on the mold maintenance progress and speeding up the recording speed of mold maintenance information. This helps to reduce the workload of manually recording mold maintenance information, allowing more personnel to be assigned to maintenance and inspection work. It is particularly suitable for large-scale mold maintenance, improving the overall mold maintenance and inspection efficiency.

[0035] 2. With the help of the number scanning module, the number printed on the mold surface is automatically identified, effectively avoiding the manual input of incorrect mold numbers.

[0036] 3. Set up initial inspection arrival sensors, maintenance arrival sensors, and final inspection arrival sensors. The recording of mold maintenance information will only start after the mold transport vehicle is detected to be in place, which will reduce the power consumption of the initial inspection identification signal device, project status change signal device, and final inspection identification signal device, and save costs.

[0046] This invention provides a glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process that overcomes the shortcomings of manually recording mold maintenance information using paint pens or oil-based markers in the prior art. It achieves the technical effect of conveniently changing mold maintenance information by device, automatically calculating mold maintenance time, speeding up the recording speed of mold maintenance information, and improving the overall efficiency of mold maintenance and inspection.

[0047] The overall concept of the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0048] First, the molds to be repaired are placed on a mold transport vehicle, which is equipped with a mold repair information display device. The mold transport vehicle moves to the initial inspection work area, where the initial inspection personnel perform a preliminary inspection of the molds, determine the mold type and the required repair items, and send the mold repair information to the mold repair information display device. The molds are then transported to the repair work area, where repair personnel perform repairs. The item status change signal device triggers the timing function of the mold repair time display module. After the mold repair is completed, the mold transport vehicle leaves the repair work area, the mold repair time display module stops timing, and the mold repair item status display module changes from displaying "pending repair" to displaying "repaired". The mold transport vehicle moves to the final inspection work area, where the final inspection personnel check whether the molds have passed the repair. The final inspection identification signal device sends the number of molds that have passed the inspection to the mold repair information display device, and the final inspection identification signal device obtains the mold repair items and corresponding mold repair times from the mold repair information display device. Finally, the mold transport vehicle moves to the warehousing work area, where the inspected and qualified molds are put into storage.

[0049] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0050] See Figures 1 to 7 The preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] A glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process includes the following steps:

[0052] S1. Place the mold 11 to be repaired on the mold transport vehicle 1, which is equipped with a mold repair information display device 2.

[0053] The mold repair information display device 2 includes a mold number display module 21, a mold repair item display module 22, a mold repair status display module 23, a mold repair time display module 24, and a mold quantity display module 25;

[0054] S2. The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the initial inspection work area, where an initial inspection identification signal device 3 is installed.

[0055] The initial inspection of the mold 11 is performed. The initial inspection identification signal device 3 is connected to the mold maintenance information display device 2 and sends the mold number, mold maintenance item, mold maintenance status, mold maintenance time reset, and mold maintenance quantity to the mold number display module 21, mold maintenance item display module 22, mold maintenance status display module 23, mold maintenance time display module 24, and mold quantity display module 25, respectively.

[0056] S3. The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the maintenance work area, where a project status change signal device 4 is installed.

[0057] When repairing the mold 11, the mold repair information display device 2 is communicatively connected to the project status change signal device 4, and the mold repair time display module 24 starts timing.

[0058] After the mold 11 is repaired, the mold transport vehicle 1 leaves the repair work area. When the mold repair information display device 2 is disconnected from the project status change signal device 4, the mold repair time display module 24 stops timing, and the mold repair project status display module changes from displaying the pending repair status to displaying the repaired status.

[0059] S4. The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the final inspection work area, and the final inspection work area is equipped with a final inspection identification signal device 5.

[0060] Inspect the repair status of the mold 11, move the molds that fail the inspection to the rework transport vehicle, and leave the molds that pass the inspection in the mold transport vehicle 1.

[0061] The final inspection identification signal device 5 is communicatively connected to the mold repair information display device 2, sends the number of qualified molds to the mold quantity display module 25, receives mold repair items from the mold repair item display module 22, and receives mold repair time from the mold repair time display module 24;

[0062] S5. The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the warehousing work area, and the warehousing work area is equipped with an warehousing identification signal device 6.

[0063] The warehouse entry identification signal device 6 is communicatively connected to the mold maintenance information display device 2. The mold number display module 21 and the mold quantity display module 25 respectively send the mold number and the number of molds that have passed inspection to the warehouse entry identification signal device 6.

[0064] This invention eliminates the need for oil-based markers and whiteboards. A mold maintenance information display device 2 is installed on the mold transport vehicle 1, allowing staff to clearly view mold maintenance information. Using the initial inspection identification signal device 3, project status change signal device 4, and final inspection identification signal device 5, mold maintenance information can be easily modified, and mold maintenance time can be automatically calculated. This provides convenient feedback on mold maintenance progress, speeds up the recording of mold maintenance information, helps reduce the workload of manually recording mold maintenance information, and allows more personnel to be devoted to maintenance and inspection work. It is particularly suitable for large-scale mold maintenance, improving the overall efficiency of mold maintenance and inspection.

[0065] The molds removed from the row-type bottle-making machine for repair include preliminary molds, finished molds, mouth molds, and bottom molds. Due to the different specifications of the glass bottles being made, the dimensions of each type of mold will vary; each mold has a mold number printed on its surface, and different mold types and sizes correspond to different mold numbers. One mold transport cart 1 is used to transport molds with the same mold number, facilitating mold repair scheduling and mold statistics. For example, the first mold transport cart 1 only transports preliminary molds, the number of which depends on the actual situation, and all preliminary molds belong to the first size group. The second mold transport cart 1 only transports preliminary molds of the second size group. The third mold transport cart 1 only transports finished molds of the third size group. The fourth mold transport cart 1 only transports finished molds of the fourth size group, and so on. The mold transport cart 1 can be a manually pushed handcart.

[0066] For example, a mold transport vehicle 1 holds ten molds of the same size. This vehicle moves to the initial mold working area, where the initial inspection personnel check if the molds belong to the same mold number and make a preliminary judgment on the necessary repairs, including sandblasting, welding repair, unclogging channels, and polishing. The initial inspection personnel operate the keyboard or touchscreen of the initial inspection identification signal device 3 to input mold repair information. Errors can be quickly corrected via the keyboard or touchscreen. For example, the mold number is DA30087A; the first mold repair item is sandblasting; the first mold repair status is pending repair; the first mold repair time is zero; the second mold repair item is welding repair; the second mold repair status is pending repair; the second mold repair time is zero; the third mold repair item is unclogging channels; the third mold repair status is pending repair; the third mold repair time is zero; the fourth mold repair item is polishing; the fourth mold repair status is pending repair; the fourth mold repair time is zero; the number of molds to be repaired is ten. After initial inspection, the personnel confirm that everything is correct, they send the mold repair information to the mold repair information display device 2 on the mold transport vehicle 1. The initial inspection identification signal device 3 can be fixed in the initial inspection work area, and the mold transport vehicle 1, carrying the mold repair information display device 2, transmits the signal when it comes into close proximity to or touches the initial inspection identification signal device 3. The item status change signal device 4, final inspection identification signal device 5, and warehouse entry identification signal device 6 mentioned below can also be fixed in position, and the signal transmission is generated by close proximity or touch. The mold repair information display device 2 can include a display screen, MCU, and communication module with electrical connections.

[0067] The mold is moved to the maintenance work area, which is divided into areas for sandblasting, welding repair, unclogging channels, and grinding and polishing. Mold transport vehicle 1 arrives at the sandblasting area, and maintenance personnel remove the mold to be repaired from vehicle 1 and place it into the sandblasting machine. The sandblasting machine can spray particulate matter at high speed to peel off the oxide layer and contaminants from the mold surface, removing surface oil. The mold maintenance information display device 2 communicates with the "sandblasting" project status change signal device 4, and the mold maintenance time for "sandblasting" begins to start counting. Maintenance personnel return the completed "sandblasting" mold to vehicle 1, then take the next mold to be repaired and place it into the sandblasting machine, until all ten molds have completed "sandblasting". Once mold transport vehicle 1 leaves the sandblasting area, the mold maintenance information display device 2 disconnects from the "sandblasting" project status change signal device 4, the "sandblasting" mold maintenance time stops counting, and the statistical time is saved, for example, the "sandblasting" mold maintenance time is ten minutes. At the same time, the mold repair status of "sandblasting and cleaning" automatically changes from pending repair to repaired.

[0068] The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the welding repair area, and the maintenance personnel operate the welding machine to repair the mold's external damage. The mold repair information display device 2 communicates with the "welding repair" item status change signal device 4, and the mold repair time for "welding repair" starts counting down. After all ten molds have completed "welding repair", the mold transport vehicle 1 leaves the welding repair area, the mold repair information display device 2 disconnects from the "welding repair" item status change signal device 4, the mold repair time for "welding repair" stops counting down, and the statistical time is saved, for example, the mold repair time for "welding repair" is twenty minutes. At the same time, the mold repair status for "welding repair" automatically changes from pending repair to repaired.

[0069] Similarly, the mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the unblocking channel area, and the maintenance personnel connect the high-pressure air hose to the upper and lower air inlets of the mold. Then, they check the air output of the cavity inside the mold and use a fine needle to unclog the blocked channels. After all ten molds have completed the "unblocking channels" process, the mold transport vehicle 1 leaves the unblocking channel area. The mold maintenance time for "unblocking channels" stops, and the statistical time is saved. For example, the mold maintenance time for "unblocking channels" is 25 minutes. At the same time, the mold maintenance status for "unblocking channels" automatically changes from pending maintenance to completed maintenance.

[0070] Similarly, the mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the polishing area, where maintenance personnel operate a polishing machine to polish the surface of the mold. After all ten molds have been polished, the mold transport vehicle 1 leaves the polishing area, the maintenance time for the polished molds stops, and the time is saved, for example, the maintenance time for the polished molds is fifteen minutes; at the same time, the maintenance status of the polished molds automatically changes from pending maintenance to completed maintenance.

[0071] After all repairs to mold 11 are completed, mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the final inspection area. Final inspection personnel check whether mold 11 has passed repairs. For example, if eight molds 11 pass the inspection, the two that fail are moved to the rework transport vehicle. One of the failed molds has a faulty weld repair, and the other has a faulty unclogging of the borehole. The eight successful molds remain in mold transport vehicle 1. The final inspection identification signal device 5 is connected to the mold repair information display device 2. Final inspection personnel operate the keyboard or touchscreen of the final inspection identification signal device 5 to input the number of molds that passed inspection. After confirmation, the number of successful molds is sent to the mold quantity display module 25, at which point the number displayed on the mold quantity display module 25 changes from ten to eight.

[0072] The final inspection identification signal device 5 obtains the mold repair items and corresponding mold repair time from the mold repair information display device 2, thus facilitating feedback on the mold repair progress. Final inspection personnel combine the repair pass rate and mold repair time to evaluate the repair personnel's repair capabilities. Specifically, the mold repair time for "sandblasting and cleaning" is ten minutes, with a 100% pass rate; the mold repair time for "welding and patching" is twenty minutes, with a 90% pass rate; the mold repair time for "drain cleaning" is twenty-five minutes, with a 90% pass rate; and the mold repair time for "grinding and polishing" is fifteen minutes, with a 100% pass rate. This helps final inspection personnel assess whether welding and patching repair personnel and drain cleaning repair personnel need to spend more time on repairs to ensure repair quality.

[0073] The mold transport vehicle 1 moves to the warehousing work area. The mold maintenance information display device 2 communicates with the warehousing identification signal device 6. The warehousing identification signal device 6 receives the mold number and the number of molds that have passed inspection, indicating that the eight molds that have passed inspection are to be put into storage. The warehousing staff moves the mold transport vehicle 1 to the warehouse and stores the molds that have passed inspection in the warehouse shelves of the mold workshop in sequence according to the mold number.

[0074] S6. The warehouse entry identification signal device 6 is communicatively connected to the mold management workstation 7. The mold management workstation 7 first searches the mold management database based on the mold number, and then updates the mold inventory quantity based on the number of molds that have passed inspection. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that the workstation automatically updates the data, improving efficiency.

[0075] A workstation refers to a computer connected to a network. The mold management database is pre-stored on the mold management workstation 7. Staff can record mold names, dimensions, numbers, and quantities in advance. Mold names include types such as preliminary mold, final mold, top mold, and bottom mold. The mold management database can use ACCESS or SQL Server. Data can also be manually entered into and updated in the mold management database. For example, if the inventory of mold number DA30087A was previously six, and now eight inspected and qualified molds are added, the inventory of mold number DA30087A will be fourteen.

[0076] The mold repair project display module 22 has four components, which correspond to sandblasting for cleaning, welding for repair, unclogging channels, and grinding and polishing, respectively.

[0077] The mold repair item display module 22, the mold repair status display module 23, the mold repair time display module 24, and the item status change signal device 4 correspond one-to-one.

[0078] In step S4, the rework transport vehicle, acting as another mold transport vehicle 1, moves to the initial inspection work area. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that it provides a rework process, and with the addition of a maintenance information display device, it improves efficiency.

[0079] The initial inspection staff checked whether the two molds on the return transport vehicle belonged to the same mold number, and made a preliminary judgment that the molds needed repairs were "welding and patching" and "unblocking the channels". When the initial inspection identification signal device 3 was operated, the tool repair information display device showed that the mold number was DA30087A, the repair items were "welding and patching" and "unblocking the channels", the repair status was zero, the mold repair status was pending repair, and the number of molds was two.

[0080] The initial inspection identification signal device 3, the project status change signal device 4, the final inspection identification signal device 5, and the warehouse entry identification signal device 6 are all mobile terminals. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that it facilitates operation and use by staff. The mobile terminals can be smartphones, tablets, PDAs, etc.

[0081] The communication methods of the initial inspection identification signal device 3, the project status change signal device 4, the final inspection identification signal device 5, and the mold repair information display device 2 are all Bluetooth, NFC, or RFID. Bluetooth is short-range communication; NFC or RFID is contact communication.

[0082] The initial inspection and identification signal device 3 also includes a number scanning module 31. This module scans the mold image, identifies the number printed on the mold surface, and then sends the identified number to the mold number display module 21. The advantage of this technical solution is that, with the help of the number scanning module 31, the number printed on the mold surface is automatically identified, effectively avoiding manual input of incorrect mold numbers. Manual input of mold numbers is unnecessary, improving efficiency. The number scanning module 31 uses OCR technology to identify the number in the image after photographing the mold and extracts the characters, sending them to the mold number display module 21.

[0083] The mold transport vehicle 1 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). The advantage of this technical solution is that the AGV automatically transports items to designated locations using special landmark navigation, improving mold logistics efficiency.

[0084] The initial inspection work area is also equipped with an initial inspection positioning sensor 8, which is electrically connected to the initial inspection identification signal device 3.

[0085] The maintenance work area is also equipped with a maintenance arrival sensor 9, which is electrically connected to the project status change signal device 4.

[0086] The final inspection work area is also equipped with a final inspection arrival sensor 10, which is electrically connected to the final inspection identification signal device 5. The beneficial effects of this technical solution are that by setting up a preliminary inspection arrival sensor 8, a maintenance arrival sensor 9, and a final inspection arrival sensor 10, it is used to detect whether the mold transport vehicle 1 is in position. Mold maintenance information recording only begins after the mold transport vehicle 1 is detected to be in position, and the communication connection is disconnected after the mold transport vehicle 1 is detected to have left. This reduces the power consumption of the preliminary inspection identification signal device 3, the project status change signal device 4, and the final inspection identification signal device 5, saving costs. It also helps the device determine whether the mold transport vehicle 1 is located in the corresponding maintenance work area.

[0087] The display screen of the mold repair information display device 2 is an LCD screen or a digital tube display screen. The advantage of this technical solution is that the display screen neatly displays characters, making it easy for staff to clearly view mold repair information.

[0088] The working principle of the glass bottle mold transportation and maintenance process of this invention is as follows: Mold workshop personnel disassemble the molds to be repaired from the row-type bottle-making machine and place them on corresponding mold transport vehicles according to type and specifications. Each mold transport vehicle is equipped with a mold maintenance information display device, which features a screen displaying characters neatly, allowing staff to clearly view mold maintenance information. The mold transport vehicle is either manually pushed or operated by an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).

[0089] The mold transport vehicle moves to the initial inspection area, where inspectors check if the molds on the vehicle belong to the same mold number. Mold numbers are printed on the surface of the molds; different mold types and sizes correspond to different mold numbers. One mold transport vehicle is used to transport molds with the same mold number, facilitating mold repair scheduling and statistics. Inspectors make a preliminary assessment of the necessary repairs, including sandblasting, welding repairs, unclogging holes, and polishing. Inspectors then input mold repair information using the keyboard or touchscreen of the initial inspection identification signal device, including mold number, repair item, repair status, repair time reset, and repair quantity. After confirmation, the mold repair information is sent to the mold repair information display device.

[0090] The mold transport vehicle moves to the maintenance work area, which is divided into sections for sandblasting, welding repair, unclogging channels, and polishing. Once the mold transport vehicle reaches one of these areas, maintenance personnel remove the mold from the vehicle and begin maintenance. The status change signal device in this maintenance work area triggers the timing function of the mold maintenance time display module. The maintenance personnel then return the repaired mold to the mold transport vehicle and proceed with the maintenance of the remaining molds on the vehicle. After all maintenance work on the molds is completed, the mold transport vehicle leaves the maintenance work area. At this point, the mold maintenance time display module stops timing, automatically calculating the maintenance time for this project. Simultaneously, the mold maintenance project status display module changes from "pending maintenance" to "maintained." The mold transport vehicle then moves to the next maintenance work area.

[0091] After all mold repairs are completed, the mold transport vehicle moves to the final inspection area. Final inspection personnel check whether the molds have passed repairs. Molds that fail inspection are moved to the rework transport vehicle, while those that pass inspection remain in the mold transport vehicle. Final inspection personnel operate the keyboard or touchscreen of the final inspection identification signal device, inputting the number of molds that passed inspection. After confirmation, the number of molds that passed inspection is sent to the mold quantity display module. The final inspection identification signal device also retrieves the mold repair items and corresponding repair times from the mold repair information display device, providing convenient feedback on the mold repair progress. Final inspection personnel evaluate the repair personnel's capabilities based on the repair pass rate and mold repair time.

[0092] Once the mold transport vehicle moves to the warehousing work area, the mold maintenance information display device automatically sends the mold number and the number of molds that have passed inspection to the warehousing identification signal device. The warehousing identification signal device updates the mold management database, and the warehousing staff store the inspected and qualified molds in the warehouse shelves of the mold workshop according to the mold number.

[0093] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
