Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mold detection, and in particular relates to a powder metallurgy mold profiler for detecting the mold. Background Art
[0002] In the field of powder metallurgy, mold quality is of vital importance. If there is a deviation in the mold contour, the product quality will be reduced and the performance will be damaged. At the same time, the mold will wear during use, affecting its contour. In order to ensure product quality, extend mold life, and optimize production processes, it is necessary to perform contour detection on powder metallurgy molds, which helps to detect problems in a timely manner and take measures.
[0003] At present, when performing contour detection of powder metallurgy molds, a laser scanner is usually used to scan and detect the contour of the mold. The detection accuracy of the laser scanner is high, such as a powder metallurgy mold contour instrument disclosed in patent announcement number CN213335997U;
[0004] Although the laser scanning method can accurately detect whether the mold contour meets the use requirements, the uneven position inside the mold cavity is too complex or there are deep holes, narrow slits and other structures, which may cause the laser light to be unable to fully illuminate all areas, resulting in light obstruction. The obscured part cannot obtain an effective laser reflection signal, and its contour information cannot be accurately measured, affecting the complete evaluation of the overall contour of the mold cavity. Secondly, the laser scanning needs to move along a certain path and gradually perform contour scanning, which is slow. In addition, a single powder metallurgy mold includes at least a dynamic mold and a static mold, and at least two scanning tests are required, resulting in a long overall detection time and low efficiency.

[0037] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: The powder metallurgy mold to be tested is sequentially installed between the base plate 1 and the lower insulation seat 3 and the base plate 1 and the upper insulation seat 2 (refer to Figure 2 , in the figure, the dotted arrows are the installation directions of the various components and the mold), and then the upper insulation seat 2, the lower insulation seat 3 and the insulation frame 4 are locked and fixed by screws (wherein, the upper insulation seat 2 and the lower insulation seat 3 are both provided with sockets, and the insulation frame 4 is provided with a plug. After the upper insulation seat 2, the lower insulation seat 3 and the insulation frame 4 are assembled together, the controller 5 can maintain a conductive state with the connection circuits of the various temperature detection probes 131 through the sockets and the plugs), and then the controller 5 is connected to the external power supply circuit and the controller 5 is started;
[0038] After the controller 5 is started, it will immediately control the air supply pump 91 to start working, and control each normally closed solenoid valve 93 to be energized and opened. The air supply pump 91 will supply air to the interior of the frame-shaped cavity 8, and the airflow will enter the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 through each air injection hole 92 respectively, and the airflow inside the upper mold cavity 10 will enter the exhaust cavity 141 on the same side through the air outlet hole 142, and the airflow inside the lower mold cavity 11 will enter the exhaust cavity 141 on the same side through the exhaust pipe 145. Finally, the airflow passes through the two exhaust pipes 145 and enters the exhaust hood 151, and is finally discharged through the tail gas hole 155. When the airflow passes through the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11, Under the high-speed flow of the airflow, impurities such as powder, mold release agent, dust, etc. remaining inside the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 will be discharged along with the airflow, so as to avoid the residual powder, mold release agent, etc. inside the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 from affecting the accuracy of the subsequent contour judgment. When the controller 5 initially controls the air supply pump 91 to work, it will synchronously control the frame-type electric heating plate 12 to work (the initial heating temperature of the frame-type electric heating plate 12 is 70°C), so as to preheat the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7, so that the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 maintain a uniform temperature, and the heated hot air can assist in removing the water and oil stains that may remain inside the mold cavity of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7;
[0039] After the controller 5 controls the air supply pump 91 to work for 3 minutes, the controller 5 controls the normally closed solenoid valve 93 inside the upper air injection hole 92 to be powered off and closed, and controls the normally open solenoid valve 144 inside the air outlet pipe 143 to be powered on and closed. At this time, the gas delivered by the air supply pump 91 can only enter the lower mold cavity 11 through the lower air injection hole 92, and the gas inside the lower mold cavity 11 cannot be discharged through the air outlet pipe 143. At this time, the air pressure inside the lower mold cavity 11 increases, and after the normally closed solenoid valve 93 on the upper side is powered off and closed for 10 seconds, the controller 5 controls the normally closed solenoid valve 93 on the lower side to be powered off and closed, and at the same time controls the normally open solenoid valve 144 on the upper side to be powered off and closed. The normally closed solenoid valve 93 is powered on and opened, and the normally open solenoid valve 144 inside the air outlet hole 142 is powered on and closed. At this time, the air flow delivered by the air supply pump 91 will enter the upper mold cavity 10 through the upper air injection hole 92, and the air flow inside the upper mold cavity 10 cannot be discharged. After the upper air injection hole 92 also works for 10 seconds, the controller 5 controls the normally closed solenoid valve 93 on the upper side to cut off the power, and at the same time controls the air supply pump 91 to stop working. Since a certain amount of air is injected into the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11, the air pressure inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 will increase, and the two air pressure detectors 1 72 can detect the air pressure inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11. When the contours of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 show wear deviation, the contours of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 become relatively larger because the inner walls of the mold cavities of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 are worn. At this time, the accommodation space inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 increases. Therefore, compared with the unworn upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11, the air pressure detector 172 will detect that the air pressure inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 has dropped. At this time, since the air pressure detector 172 detects that the air pressure has not reached the set value, the air pressure detector 172 will output a telecommunication signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 will give an alarm through its own alarm module (such as a buzzer), and when there is no wear deviation in the contours of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7, or the wear deviation is small (the impact on the molding quality of the powder metallurgy product is small and within the error range of the product), at this time, the air pressure detector 172 can detect that the air pressure inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 reaches the set value. At this time, the air pressure detector 172 will not output an electrical signal to the controller 5. At this time, it means that the contour of the mold is qualified and no subsequent detection work is required, which saves a lot of time and improves detection efficiency;
[0040] When the controller 5 receives the electrical signal output by the air pressure detector 172, the controller 5 will control the two normally open solenoid valves 144 to be powered off and opened. At this time, the excess air inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11 is discharged. Subsequently, the controller 5 will control the frame-type electric heating plate 12 and the two normally closed solenoid valves 93 to be powered on (at this time, the operating temperature of the frame-type electric heating plate 12 is 120°C). At the same time, the controller 5 controls the air supply pump 91 to resume working. When the frame-type electric heating plate 12 is working, it can quickly heat the air delivered to the frame-type cavity 8 by the air supply pump 91, and deliver the heated air to the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity. 11, and finally, the heated air will be discharged through the air outlet 142, the air outlet pipe 143, the exhaust pipe 145, the exhaust hood 151 and the tail air hole 155, and the heated air will exchange heat with the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 when passing through the interior of the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11, thereby heating the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7. After the frame-type electric heating plate 12 works for 2 minutes, the controller 5 connects the connection circuits of each temperature detection probe 131, and the temperature detection probe 131 can convert the temperature of each position into an electrical signal and output it to the controller 5, and the controller 5 converts the electrical signal output by each temperature detection probe 131 into an electrical signal. The signal is compared with the electrical signal corresponding to the preset temperature, and two mold cavity graphics matching the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 are displayed on the display screen of the controller 5, and color markings are performed at the points corresponding to each temperature detection probe 131 (for example, green dots are used to mark the points in the graphics). When the electrical signal strength output by the temperature detection probe 131 is greater than the preset electrical signal strength (due to the wear of the mold contour, the path from this position to the corresponding temperature detection probe 131 becomes shorter, and the contact area with the hot air becomes larger. At this time, the heat transfer speed becomes faster, so within 2 minutes of the operation of the frame-type electric heating plate 12, the position The temperature detection probe 131 of the mold is heated faster, so the temperature detected by the temperature detection probe 131 is higher than the preset temperature), the controller 5 controls the color of the color mark of the corresponding point on the graph to change (for example, from a green point to a red point), and the staff can determine the position where the mold contour has a wear deviation by checking the point where the color changes, so as to facilitate the subsequent repair work (wherein, the preset electrical signal strength of each point of the mold can be set according to the electrical signal strength output by the temperature detection probe 131 under the same conditions when the initial contour of the mold has not been worn);
[0041] When initially removing impurities such as powder that may remain inside the upper mold cavity 10 and the lower mold cavity 11, the controller 5 starts the light board 153 and connects the two photodetectors 154 to the corresponding drive circuits of the motor 161. The light board 153 can emit light and project the light to the two photodetectors 154, and the two photodetectors 154 can output electrical signals of different intensities according to the light intensity, so that the motor 161 works at different powers. When powder metallurgy products are manufactured, the inner wall of the mold cavity of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 is coated with If the release agent is not applied enough or is not applied evenly, some powder may remain inside the mold cavities of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7. At this time, as the concentration of the powder discharged by the airflow increases, the powder will partially block the light irradiated to the photodetector 154 when passing through the light board 153. Therefore, the higher the powder concentration, the lower the light intensity irradiated to the photodetector 154. At this time, the resistance of the photodetector 154 increases, so the current intensity passing into the motor 161 becomes lower. At this time, the speed of the output shaft of the motor 161 slows down. Conversely, the motor 161 The speed of the output shaft becomes faster, and when the output shaft of the motor 161 rotates, the encoder 163 can output an electrical signal to the controller 5 based on the number of rotations of the output shaft of the motor 161 (when the output shaft of the motor 161 rotates, it can drive the shaft of the encoder 163 to rotate synchronously, and the shaft of the encoder 163 can drive the grating to rotate. After each rotation of the grating, the photosensitive element inside it will receive a light signal, and the photosensitive element will convert the light signal into an electrical signal and output it to the controller 5). Through the counting module of the controller 5, the output shaft of the motor 161 can be counted. The number of rotations of the motor 161 is measured in real time, and the measurement results are displayed on its own display screen. The staff can judge the amount of powder remaining inside the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 by checking the number of rotations of the output shafts of the two motors 161. When the amount of residual powder is large (that is, the number of rotations of the output shaft of the motor 161 is small), the staff can pay attention to the amount of the release agent applied and the uniformity of the release agent when applying the release agent to the mold later. After the air supply pump 91 initially works for 3 minutes, the controller 5 controls the light board 153 and the motor 161 to stop working;
[0042] At the same time, when the motor 161 is working, the output shaft of the motor 161 will drive the cam 23 to rotate. When the cam 23 rotates away from the end of the output shaft of the motor 161 to the position of the extrusion plate 21, the cam 23 will push the extrusion plate 21 to move, and the extrusion plate 21 can pull the slide bar 19, so that the spring 22 is stretched. When the cam 23 is separated from the extrusion plate 21, under the rebound action of the spring 22, the extrusion plate 21 will drive the impact block 20 to rebound quickly through the slide bar 19, so that the impact block 20 can hit the side wall of the movable mold 6 or the static mold 7. By hitting the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7, the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 can generate a vibration force, which can assist the residual powder to fall off the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7, and then assist the airflow to remove the powder that may remain on the inner wall of the mold cavity of the movable mold 6 and the static mold 7 more fully, thereby indirectly improving the accuracy of mold contour detection.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
