Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass compression molding, in particular to a high-precision glass compression molding machine. Background Art

[0002] The glass compression molding machine first places the glass preform between the upper mold and the lower mold, and then heats the glass preform. When the glass preform reaches a certain temperature, it uses force to push the upper and lower molds together to extrude the preform into the glass shape we need. It has the advantages of high material utilization, precise control of the accuracy of molded parts, and easy mass production.

[0003] At present, the biggest disadvantage of glass compression molding is that after the glass is heated and molded, the finished product needs to be cooled quickly. The cooling speed of the mold directly affects the shrinkage rate of the molded part. The faster the cooling speed, the smaller the shrinkage rate, and the product size is closer to the mold size. If it cannot be cooled quickly, the cooling time will be extended, which gives the material more time to shrink, which may lead to a greater shrinkage rate. The product size may be too small and cannot meet high-precision requirements.

[0004] For this reason, we propose a high-precision glass compression molding machine. Summary of the invention

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0025] By designing an air cooling mechanism, a water cooling mechanism and an evaporation mechanism that cooperate with each other, rapid cooling of the lower mold is achieved. The first heat pipe of the air cooling mechanism displaces the heat near the mold cavity of the lower mold, which is beneficial to cooling the molded product. At the same time, the water pump of the water cooling mechanism transports the water in the water storage tank to the heat exchange flow channel. The water exchanges heat with the lower mold and flows along the heat exchange flow channel under gravity to take away the heat, thereby accelerating the cooling of the lower mold and the molded product. The first heat pipe of the air cooling mechanism transfers the heat to the heat exchange flow channel so that the air inside it is heated and rises, thereby driving the generation of airflow. The water flow of the water cooling mechanism will drip onto the heat sink of the evaporation mechanism. The airflow cooperates with the heat of the lower mold to cause the water in the heat exchange flow channel and the heat sink to evaporate, thereby absorbing heat. The cooling of the lower mold and the molded product is further enhanced. The water on the heat sink evaporates and absorbs heat, causing the air sucked into the heat exchange flow channel to be cold air. The cold air exchanges heat during the flow along the heat exchange flow channel, thereby taking away the heat of the lower mold, further enhancing the cooling of the lower mold and the molded product. At the same time, the cold air sucked into the heat exchange flow channel is used to cool the first heat pipe, which is conducive to the first heat pipe continuously and efficiently cooling the molded product. The mutual cooperation of the air cooling mechanism, the water cooling mechanism and the evaporation mechanism achieves multiple cooling effects, significantly enhancing the cooling of the lower mold and the molded product, shortening the cooling time of the molded product, and allowing the molded product to solidify in a short time so as to be closer to the size of the fitting mold to meet the high-precision production requirements;

[0026] By designing a cooling component, a moving mold component and a heating component that cooperate with each other, the cooling component displaces the heat of the lower mold and stores it in the heat storage cavity in the form of hot air and steam. The insulation pipe of the heating component transfers the hot air and steam in the heat storage cavity to the adjacent lower mold, that is, displacing the heat to the adjacent lower mold for preheating, saving the heating time of the mold and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the heat recovery and utilization of the mold during cooling is conducive to saving energy. The hot air and steam flow along the heat exchange flow channel of the adjacent lower mold, that is, the reverse cooling of the lower mold is realized. The first heat pipe in the heat exchange flow channel makes the preheating of the adjacent lower mold more comprehensive and thorough, and the heat After the air and steam are cooled, they flow back along the return air pipe to the lower mold to be cooled. This cycle cools the lower mold while recovering heat to preheat the adjacent lower mold. The moving table of the movable mold assembly alternately positions multiple lower molds directly under the upper mold to complete the mold closing, so that one of the lower molds is immediately shifted after the molding is completed, and the adjacent lower mold is filled at the same time, which is beneficial to reducing the cooling waiting time of the mold and the molded product. The cooling component recovers heat while quickly cooling the lower mold, and uses the heating component to replace the heat to the adjacent lower mold for preheating it, reducing the heating waiting time of the mold and the molded product, and significantly improving the processing efficiency.

[0041] The first heat pipe 14 of the air cooling mechanism displaces the heat near the mold cavity of the lower mold 3, which is beneficial to cooling the molded product. At the same time, the water pump 17 of the water cooling mechanism transports the water in the water storage tank 16 to the heat exchange channel 13. The water exchanges heat with the lower mold 3 and flows along the heat exchange channel 13 under gravity to take away the heat, accelerating the cooling of the lower mold 3 and the molded product. The first heat pipe 14 of the air cooling mechanism transfers the heat to the heat exchange channel 13 so that the air inside it is heated and rises, thereby driving the generation of airflow. The water flow of the water cooling mechanism will drip on the heat sink 21 of the evaporation mechanism, and the airflow cooperates with the lower mold 3 to generate the heat. The heat of the mold 3 causes the water in the heat exchange channel 13 and the heat sink 21 to evaporate and absorb heat, further enhancing the cooling of the lower mold 3 and the molded product. The water on the heat sink 21 evaporates and absorbs heat, causing the air inhaled by the heat exchange channel 13 to be cold air. The cold air exchanges heat during its flow along the heat exchange channel 13, thereby taking away the heat of the lower mold 3, further enhancing the cooling of the lower mold 3 and the molded product. At the same time, the cold air inhaled by the heat exchange channel 13 is cooled by the first heat pipe 14, which is beneficial for the first heat pipe 14 to continuously and efficiently cool the molded product.

[0042] The movable mold assembly includes a moving table 7 that realizes linear reciprocating motion, and the lower mold 3 is installed on the top of the moving table 7 to realize that multiple lower molds 3 are alternately located directly below the upper mold 2; the heating assembly includes a heat preservation pipe 23 and a return air pipe 25, and a heat storage cavity 26 connected to the upper port of the heat exchange flow channel 13 is opened on the inner wall of the upper end of the lower mold 3.

[0043] The cooling component displaces the heat of the lower mold 3 and stores it in the heat storage chamber 26 in the form of hot air and steam. The insulation pipe 23 of the heating component transfers the hot air and steam in the heat storage chamber 26 to the adjacent lower mold 3, that is, displaces the heat to the adjacent lower mold 3 for preheating it, saving the heating time of the mold and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the heat energy recovery and utilization of the mold during cooling is conducive to saving energy. The hot air and steam flow along the heat exchange channel 13 of the adjacent lower mold 3, that is, reverse cooling of the lower mold 3 is realized. The first heat pipe 14 in the heat exchange channel 13 makes the preheating of the adjacent lower mold 3 more comprehensive and thorough. After the hot air and steam are cooled, they flow back along the return air pipe 25 to the lower mold 3 to be cooled, thereby circulating to cool the lower mold 3 while recovering heat to preheat the adjacent lower mold 3.

The moving table 7 is slidably arranged on the top surface of the fixed base plate 6. A guide sleeve 9 is slidably arranged inside the limiting slide groove 8. The guide sleeve 9 is connected and fixed to the bottom surface of the moving table 7. The driving mechanism is used to realize the linear reciprocating motion of the guide sleeve 9 in the limiting slide groove 8; the driving mechanism includes a reciprocating screw 10 and a servo motor 11. The reciprocating screw 10 is rotatably arranged inside the limiting slide groove 8. The guide sleeve 9 is installed on the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 10 for the guide sleeve 9 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the reciprocating screw 10 when the reciprocating screw 10 rotates. The servo motor 11 is installed inside the frame 1 and its output shaft is connected to one end of the reciprocating screw 10.

[0045] Specifically, the air cooling mechanism also includes a heat conductive sheet 15, which is connected between the inner walls of the heat exchange channel 13, and the tail end of the first heat pipe 14 is embedded and fitted with the heat conductive sheet 15. The outer contour of the heat conductive sheet 15 is a continuous S shape. The heat conductive sheet 15 increases the contact area between the first heat pipe 14 and the air, and strengthens the heat dissipation of the first heat pipe 14, which is beneficial for the first heat pipe 14 to continuously and efficiently cool the molded product. Secondly, the heat conductive sheet 15 expands the coverage area of ​​the water flow in the heat exchange channel 13, expands the evaporation area of ​​the water flow, and thus strengthens heat absorption and cooling.

[0046] Specifically, the water cooling mechanism also includes a manifold 19. A plurality of heat exchange channels 13 are opened and symmetrically distributed around the mold cavity of the lower mold 3. The number of connecting pipes 18 is distributed corresponding to the heat exchange channels 13. The manifold 19 connects all the connecting pipes 18 with the water outlet of the water pump 17. A water supply port 20 is opened on the upper side wall of the water tank 16.

[0047] Specifically, the evaporation mechanism also includes a second heat pipe 22, which is embedded in the inner wall of the lower mold 3 and surrounds the mold cavity of the lower mold 3. The tail end of the second heat pipe 22 extends to the upper port of the water tank 16 and is embedded and fitted between the heat sink 21. The outer contour of the heat sink 21 is a continuous S-shape. The second heat pipe 22 increases the cooling speed of the lower mold 3 and the molded product.

[0049] Specifically, two lower molds 3 are provided, and contact sensors 12 are provided at both ends of the fixed bottom plate 6. When one of the lower molds 3 is located directly below the upper mold 2, the other lower mold 3 contacts the contact sensor 12 at the adjacent end, and the output signal of the contact sensor 12 is fed back to the control switch of the water pump 17 of the adjacent lower mold 3; the front end surface of the frame 1 is provided with a control console 5 connected to the signal of the molding component 4 and the servo motor 11, and the control console 5 is used to realize the start and stop of the molding component 4 and the servo motor 11.

[0050] The present invention provides a high-precision glass compression molding machine, and its working steps are as follows:

[0051] Step 1: The control console 5 starts the servo motor 11 to drive the reciprocating screw 10 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 10 causes the guide sleeve 9 to drive the moving table 7 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the limiting slide groove 8, and the moving table 7 moves the lower mold 3 together;

[0052] Step 2: When one of the lower molds 3 is located directly below the upper mold 2, the glass blank is placed on the lower mold 3, the mold and the glass blank are heated, and the control console 5 starts the molding assembly 4, so that the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 are molded together to complete the molding;

[0056] Step 6: While the lower mold 3 is being rapidly cooled, the heat displaced by the cooling component is transferred to the replaced lower mold 3 by the heating component to preheat it, thereby reducing the heating waiting time of the mold and the molded product and significantly improving the processing efficiency;

[0057] Step 7: After the molding is completed, the reciprocating motion is started. After the lower mold 3 is replaced, it is separated from the contact sensor 12 at the adjacent end, and the internal water pump 17 is immediately turned off. The cooling component cannot cooperate to prevent the cooling component from interfering with the lower mold 3 during molding.
