DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a guide column and guide sleeve for mold alignment, the guide column 1 includes a central column 11, and two replacement columns 13 are detachably installed on the outer side of the central column 11, and the sides of the two replacement columns 13 are provided with separation guide inclined grooves 15.

[0018] Two symmetrical plug-in grooves 12 are provided on the outer surface of the central column 11. An elastic plug-in block 14 is fixed to the surface of the replacement column 13 that fits the central column 11. The elastic plug-in block 14 is plugged into the inner side of the plug-in groove 12. The elastic plug-in block 14 is an elastic metal plate. Both sides of the elastic plug-in block 14 protrude outward in a V shape. The elastic plug-in block 14 is utilized to increase the connection strength between the replacement column 13 and the central column 11, thereby ensuring that the replacement column 13 can be replaced without human intervention, and the replacement column 13 cannot be separated or dropped from the outer side of the central column 11.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the guide sleeve 2 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide column 1, and the guide sleeve 2 includes a central guide sleeve 21. The inner side of the central guide sleeve 21 is provided with multiple groups of assembly guide sleeve pieces 24 that are symmetrical in pairs. The assembly guide sleeve pieces 24 are distributed in a circular array around the axis of the central guide sleeve 21. Limiting rings 22 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the central guide sleeve 21. The limiting rings 22 and the central guide sleeve 21 clamp the ends of the assembly guide sleeve pieces 24. The outer side of the central guide sleeve 21 is provided with multiple connecting grooves 29 distributed in a circular array. Multiple connecting strips 23 are provided between the two limiting rings 22. Both ends of the connecting strips 23 are clamped in the inner side of the connecting grooves 29. The limiting rings 22 are used to fix the assembly guide sleeve pieces 24 installed on the inner side of the central guide sleeve 21, and the two limiting rings 22 are connected by the connecting strips 23, and it is ensured that the two limiting rings 22 cannot be separated from the central guide sleeve 21 without external force intervention.

[0020] One end of the assembly guide sleeve 24 is bent outward at ninety degrees, and a positioning groove 25 is provided at the second end of the assembly guide sleeve 24. An annular protrusion is provided on the inner side of the limiting ring 22, and the annular protrusion is clamped on the inner side of the positioning groove 25. After the limiting ring 22 presses the end of the assembly guide sleeve 24, it is ensured that the assembly guide sleeve 24 cannot slide between the limiting ring 22 and the center guide sleeve 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire guide sleeve 2 structure.

[0021] An anti-dropout slot 211 is provided on the inner surface of the center guide sleeve 21, and an anti-dropout clamping block 210 is fixed to the surface of the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 that fits against the center guide sleeve 21. The anti-dropout clamping block 210 is clamped in the anti-dropout slot 211. The anti-dropout clamping block 210 is utilized to reinforce the connection strength between the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 and the center guide sleeve 21 to prevent the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 from shaking.

[0022] The preferred solution of this embodiment is as follows Figure 3 As shown, a lubricant adding groove 26 is opened on the inner side of the assembly guide sleeve 24, and two drainage grooves 27 are arranged at the bottom end of the lubricant adding groove 26. The bottom end of the drainage groove 27 is flush with the side wall of the assembly guide sleeve 24, and an inclined guide slope 28 is arranged on the inner side of the drainage groove 27. The bottom end of the drainage groove 27 is inclined downward at an angle of thirty degrees. Lubricant is added through the lubricant adding groove 26, and the drainage groove 27 is used to divert the lubricant, and the diverted lubricant is drained to the outer surface of the replacement column 13 through the guide slope 28 on the inner side of the drainage groove 27, so as to lubricate the outer surface of the replacement column 13 in all directions.

[0023] Working principle: when the guide post 1 and the guide sleeve 2 are excessively worn after long-term operation, the guide post 1 and the guide sleeve 2 are separated. If the guide post 1 is excessively worn and needs to be replaced, a tool is inserted into the separation guide bevel 15 on the side of the replacement column 13 and knocked to separate the sides of the two replacement columns 13 from each other, and the elastic plug-in block 14 is separated from the plug-in slot 12. During separation, the elastic plug-in block 14 is compressed and deformed toward the middle, and the replacement column 13 is removed from the outside of the center column 11, and then the new center column 11 is replaced. If the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 is excessively worn and needs to be replaced, a tool is inserted between the connecting strip 23 and the center guide sleeve 21, and the connecting strip 23 is pried toward the outside of the center guide sleeve 21 so that the end of the connecting strip 23 is released from the connecting card on the outer surface of the limit ring 22. The guide sleeve 21 is disengaged from the groove 29. After all the connecting strips 23 are disassembled, the limit ring 22 is removed from the end of the center guide sleeve 21. The assembly guide sleeve piece 24 is then slid along the axial direction of the center guide sleeve 21, and the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 is slid toward the outside of the end of the center guide sleeve 21, so that the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 drives the anti-dropping clamping block 210 to slide in the anti-dropping clamping groove 211. At this time, the anti-dropping clamping block 210 is misaligned with the anti-dropping clamping groove 211. At this time, the assembly guide sleeve piece 24 cannot slide. It only needs to be pushed toward the middle of the center guide sleeve 21 to remove the anti-dropping clamping block 210 from the anti-dropping clamping groove 211. At this time, it is only necessary to install a new assembly guide sleeve piece 24, and then use the limit ring 22 and the connecting strip 23 to fix the assembly guide sleeve piece 24, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement cost of the guide column 1 and the guide sleeve 2.

[0024] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
