For example, the connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and can be a fixed connection or a movable connection or a detachable connection or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 -6. Provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the implementation modes of the present invention.

[0031] An embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator door lining punching and trimming die, which is used to perform trimming and punching operations on the refrigerator door lining. The refrigerator door lining is the inner lining on the refrigerator door body, and is made of polystyrene and is usually formed by vacuum adsorption. After the refrigerator door lining is formed, it needs to be trimmed and punched to meet the product assembly requirements of the refrigerator door body.

[0032] The mold includes an upper mold base 10 and a lower mold base 20 that are relatively arranged. The upper mold base 10 and the lower mold base 20 are both arranged in the horizontal direction. The lower mold base 20 can be fixed on a frame or a working plane. The upper mold base 10 is movably arranged in the vertical direction relative to the lower mold base 20. A driving source is arranged on the frame, and the driving source is arranged as a linear driving source. The driving source is used to drive the displacement of the upper mold base 10 in the vertical direction.

[0033] The upper mold base 10 is provided with a trimming mechanism 30 and a punching mechanism 40. When the upper mold base 10 and the lower mold base 20 are closed, the trimming mechanism 30 and the punching mechanism 40 can perform trimming and punching operations on the refrigerator door lining at the same time. When trimming the refrigerator door lining, there is no need to transfer the door lining product for a second time to perform a separate punching operation, which greatly improves the production efficiency of the refrigerator door lining processing and reduces the production cost.

[0034] A mold frame 50 capable of accommodating and positioning the lining to be processed is provided on one side of the lower mold base 20 facing the upper mold base 10. The mold frame 50 has a concave mold 51 located at the bottom and a surrounding plate 52 located at the top. The surrounding plate 52 is set as a rectangular frame structure that matches the edge shape of the door lining and can support the edge of the door lining. A surrounding frame-shaped support seat 53 can be fixed on the lower mold base 20. The concave mold 51 is fixed to the inner side wall of the support seat 53, and the surrounding plate 52 is fixed to the upper side of the support seat 53. The concave mold 51 and the surrounding plate 52 can be detachably fixedly connected to the support seat 53, so that the concave mold 51 and the surrounding plate 52 can be replaced according to the product model of the refrigerator door lining.

[0035] The upper die base 10 includes a connecting plate 11 and a floating plate 12 which are arranged opposite to each other. The driving source is connected to the connecting plate 11 to drive the connecting plate 11 to move in the vertical direction. The floating plate 12 is movably connected to the connecting plate 11. A guide column 14 extending in the vertical direction is arranged between the connecting plate 11 and the floating plate 12, and a return spring 13 is arranged between the connecting plate 11 and the floating plate 12. When the driving source drives the connecting plate 11 to move, the connecting plate 11 drives the floating plate 12 to move.

[0036] The trimming mechanism 30 includes a cutter 31 disposed on the upper die base 10, and the cutter 31 is configured as a rectangular frame structure matching the shape of the enclosure 52. A mounting seat 32 may be fixed to the lower surface of the connecting plate 11, and a through hole for the mounting seat 32 to pass through is provided on the floating plate 12, and the cutter 31 is disposed below the floating plate 12. When the driving source drives the upper die base 10 and the lower die base 20 to close the mold, the cutting edge of the cutter 31 fits the upper edge of the enclosure 52, and the refrigerator door lining can be trimmed.

[0037] The punching mechanism 40 can be arranged on the inner side of the trimming mechanism 30. The punching mechanism 40 includes a punch 41 that can be movably arranged in the horizontal direction. The punch 41 in the punching mechanism 40 is arranged horizontally, which can more accurately realize the punching operation on the refrigerator door lining and improve the yield rate of product processing. The punching mechanism 40 also includes a driving structure and a sliding structure arranged on the upper die base 10. The punch 41 is connected to the sliding structure. The driving structure is used to cooperate with the sliding structure to drive the punch 41 to move in the horizontal direction. The die 51 is provided with a punch 511 that matches the punch 41. When the upper die base 10 and the lower die base 20 are molded, the punch 41 moves horizontally toward one side of the die 51, and the punch 41 cooperates with the punch 511 to perform a punching operation on the door lining.

[0038] The driving structure is provided as a driving plate 42 connected to the connecting plate 11, the driving plate 42 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 11, a through hole 43 is provided on the floating plate 12 for the driving plate 42 to pass through, and the driving plate 42 passes through the through hole 43 and extends to the bottom of the floating plate 12. The sliding structure includes a limit seat 44 provided on the upper die seat 10, and a sliding seat 45 slidingly matched with the limit seat 44 in the horizontal direction, the limit seat 44 is fixed to the lower surface of the floating plate 12, and the punch 41 is fixed on the sliding seat 45. The driving plate 42 cooperates with the limit seat 44 to drive the limit seat 44 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the sliding seat 45 can drive the punch 41 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0039] In one embodiment, the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 can be matched in a guide surface matching manner. The sliding seat 45 is provided with a guide inclined groove 451, and the guide inclined groove 451 has an inclined groove wall 452. The driving plate 42 slides with the guide inclined groove 451 in the vertical direction. The driving plate 42 is provided with a guide inclined surface 421 that fits with the inclined groove wall 452 on the side facing the sliding seat 45. The guide inclined surface 421 and the inclined groove wall 452 are configured as inclined surfaces that gradually tilt toward the punch 41 from bottom to top. When the driving plate 42 moves downward relative to the sliding seat 45, under the cooperation of the guide inclined surface 421 and the inclined groove wall 452, the driving plate 42 pushes against the sliding seat 45 to move toward the side of the die 51, thereby punching the refrigerator door lining.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the cooperation between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 may also adopt other structures. For example, a connecting rod may be provided between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45, and the two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 respectively. When the driving plate 42 is displaced in the vertical direction relative to the sliding seat 45, the driving plate 42 drives the connecting rod to displace, and the connecting rod rotates to push the sliding seat 45 to achieve displacement in the limiting seat 44. As long as the driving structure can enable the driving plate 42 to drive the sliding seat 45 to displace in the horizontal direction, it is within the protection scope of the present invention, and the specific structure is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0041] A limiting structure is provided between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 to make the guiding inclined surface 421 always fit with the inclined groove wall 452. As an example, the limiting structure can be provided as a limiting rod 453 fixed on the sliding seat 45. The driving plate 42 is provided with a limiting groove 422 for the limiting rod 453 to pass through. The extension direction of the limiting groove 422 is the same as the extension direction of the guiding inclined surface 421. When the driving plate 42 moves up and down relative to the sliding seat 45, the limiting rod 453 is always limited in the limiting groove 422. Therefore, during the displacement of the driving plate 42, the guiding inclined surface 421 always fits with the inclined groove wall 452. Such a setting can make the cooperation between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 more stable.

[0042] It should be noted that the diameter of the limit rod 453 cannot be too small or too large. The diameter of the limit rod 453 can be slightly smaller than the width of the limit slot 422, so that the limit rod 453 can be driven to move in the limit slot 422 more smoothly during the displacement of the driving plate 42, thereby preventing the limit rod 453 from shaking in the limit slot 422 during the movement of the driving plate 42.

[0043] Of course, the limiting structure may also be configured as other structures. For example, a spring or the above-mentioned connecting rod structure may be connected between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 . This is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0044] In order to make the structure between the driving plate 42 and the sliding seat 45 more compact, an avoidance groove 441 for the driving plate 42 to move is provided on the limit seat 44. The avoidance groove 441 and the guide inclined groove 451 are open toward one side of the driving plate 42. The length of the limit seat 44 is the same as that of the sliding seat 45. The length of the avoidance groove 441 of the limit seat 44 is the same as the longest length of the guide inclined groove 451. The cooperation effect between the driving plate 42 and the sliding structure is better.

[0045] When performing trimming and punching operations on refrigerator door linings, first place the refrigerator door lining to be processed on the mold frame 50, and the driving source drives the connecting plate 11 and the floating plate 12 to move downward, and the floating plate 12 first contacts the lower mold plate or the mold frame 50, and at this time, the punch 41 moves to one side of the die 51. The position of the floating plate 12 is fixed first, and the driving source continues to drive the connecting plate 11 to move downward, and the driving plate 42 moves downward, and the guide inclined surface 421 moves relative to the inclined groove wall 452, and the driving plate 42 pushes against the sliding seat 45 to move on the limit seat 44, and the sliding seat 45 drives the punch 41 to move horizontally to one side of the die 51, so as to achieve the punching operation of the refrigerator door lining.

[0046] After completing the trimming and punching operations, the driving source drives the connecting plate 11 to move upward, and the connecting plate 11 drives the driving plate 42 to move upward. The driving plate 42 drives the sliding seat 45 to return to its original position through the cooperation of the limiting rod 453 and the limiting groove 422, so that the punch 41 withdraws from the die 51, and the floating plate 12 is separated from the lower template or the mold frame 50. Then, the processed refrigerator door lining product is separated from the mold frame 50 to complete the trimming and punching operations of the refrigerator door lining.

[0047] It is further defined that a slide groove 442 with a T-shaped cross-section is provided in the limit seat 44, and a slider 454 with the same T-shaped cross-section is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 45. The slider 454 slides in cooperation with the slide groove 442, and both sides of the slide groove 442 are open to facilitate assembly cooperation between the sliding seat 45 and the limit seat 44.

[0048] It is further defined that the side wall of the enclosure 52 is closer to the punching mechanism 40 than the side wall of the die 51, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the refrigerator door lining to be processed and the die 51. When punching, waste material of the refrigerator door lining can fall from the gap, which is convenient for cleaning and collection of the waste material.

[0049] In this embodiment, two back-to-back punching mechanisms 40 are provided, which can simultaneously punch holes on both sides of the refrigerator door lining. Of course, the number of punching mechanisms 40 can be adjusted according to the product requirements of the refrigerator door lining, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations.

[0050] The above-mentioned driving source can be any one of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a screw nut, and a gear rack, as long as it can make the upper die base 10 move linearly in the vertical direction, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitation. Of course, the punching mechanism 40 can also be set as a separate driving structure, such as any one of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a screw nut, and a gear rack, which can be set separately under the floating plate 12, and this embodiment also does not make any specific limitation.

[0051] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the present invention based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings. Any changes made according to the concept of the present invention, or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, which still do not exceed the spirit covered by the description and drawings, should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
