Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plastic molds, and specifically to a precision cooling device for plastic molds. Background Art
[0002] All existing plastic molds on the market are water-cooled molds. During the 24-hour production process of plastic molds, industrial water is required to cool the molds, and it also flows continuously for 24 hours and is discharged into rivers or sewers, resulting in waste of water resources and an increase in production costs. There are thousands of plastic molds in industrial parks in each provincial capital of our country producing 24 hours a day, and the waste of water resources has no end and has never been solved since ancient times. This is a long-term problem that plagues industrial development. The production of plastic molds creates value at the expense of the environment and water resources, which is not advisable.
[0003] At the source of mold development, the processing of the mold waterways is difficult and time-consuming, and the labor cost is high. During the production process, the mold rusts severely. Especially when water splashes into the cavity of the mirror mold, the product is unqualified, and the moving parts and sliding parts rust, resulting in the mold being stuck, requiring a large amount of maintenance costs, increasing production costs and production efficiency. Plastic molds have the following disadvantages: 1. During the pre-processing of the mold waterway, the labor cost increases, the process is cumbersome, and the error rate is high. When the mold is completed, some redundant waterways need to be blocked with plugs, and the cost of the waterproof seals for the waterways is high, seriously wasting labor and material costs, which is unreasonable and needs to be improved; 2. During the mid-stage of the mold, during the processing of the mold, in terms of design, due to the waterway, it causes difficulties in rectification for the designer; 3. After the mold development is completed, during the later production process, under normal production conditions, due to the long time of the waterway, rusting and aging lead to the waterway being blocked, and the leakage phenomenon occurs frequently. Because of the leakage or the blocked waterway, the mold must be repaired offline. Due to the blocked or leaking waterway, the mold needs to be disassembled, which causes workload for the fitter master and increases the labor operation cost; 4. When the mold is stored, because there is a large amount of water remaining in the waterway, it causes the inside of the mold to rust due to iron oxide, the waterway is blocked, and normal production in the next cycle cannot be carried out normally, causing intangible losses to the mold. The appearance rusts severely, and the rusted waterway inside is blocked. Traditional waterways and water-transfer molds cannot be stored for a long time. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a precision cooling device for plastic molds, which solves technical problems such as insufficient cooling, leakage, and blocked waterways of traditional water-cooled molds, as well as the problem of product deformation caused by insufficient water temperature cooling, and directly omits the waterway processing link during the mold processing process.

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a precision cooling device for plastic molds, including a base 1, a savings box mechanism 2 is fixed in the middle of the upper end surface of the base 1, an automatic liquid adding pump 6 is fixed on the inner top of the savings box mechanism 2, and a first water outlet pipe 7 is fixed on the top of the automatic liquid adding pump 6, and the first water outlet pipe 7 penetrates through the top of the savings box mechanism 2.
[0022] An absorption refrigeration unit 10 is fixed on one side of the upper end surface of the base 1, a second box cover 11 is arranged on the top of the absorption refrigeration unit 10, a cooling pipe 12 is fixed on one side of the absorption refrigeration unit 10, the cooling pipe 12 extends into the savings box mechanism 2, a centrifugal pump 13 is fixed on the inner bottom of the savings box mechanism 2, a second water outlet pipe 14 is fixed on one side of the centrifugal pump 13, the second water outlet pipe 14 penetrates through one side of the savings box mechanism 2, and a filter mechanism 15 is fixed on one side of the savings box mechanism 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the savings box mechanism 2 includes a box body 201, an interlayer 202 is fixed inside the side wall of the box body 201, and the interlayer 202 is made of aluminum foil heat insulation material. An epoxy resin coating 203 is fixed on the inner wall of the box body 201. The box body 201 is used to store sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. The aluminum foil heat insulation material can play a heat insulation role, and the epoxy resin coating 203 can prevent the box body 201 from being eroded and worn by chemical substances.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a control panel 3 is fixed to the front side of the storage tank mechanism 2. A through hole 4 is formed in the top of the storage tank mechanism 2, and a first tank cover 5 is fixed to the top of the storage tank mechanism 2 by bolts. After opening the first tank cover 5, liquid can be poured into the storage tank mechanism 2. The control panel 3 is provided with a temperature control system, hydraulic detection and fault alarm. When a fault occurs in the absorption refrigeration unit 10, an alarm is installed on the top for display. There are two mobile interfaces, and the refrigeration equipment system can be replaced at any time to ensure the normal operation of the machine and does not affect the production of products.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a liquid monitor 8 is fixed to the inner top of the storage tank mechanism 2, and a temperature sensor 9 is fixed to an inner wall of the storage tank mechanism 2. The absorption refrigeration unit 10 is used to cool the temperature of the liquid in the storage tank mechanism 2 to about minus 15 degrees Celsius. The sodium chloride solution at minus 15 degrees Celsius effectively cools the mold. The liquid monitor 8 can monitor the liquid pressure, and the temperature sensor 9 can monitor the liquid temperature.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the filtering mechanism 15 includes a filtering box 1501, and the filtering box 1501 is fixed to one side of the storage tank mechanism 2. A first return water pipe 1502 is fixed to the top of the filtering box 1501. Before the sodium hydroxide solution flows back into the storage tank mechanism 2 from the mold, it needs to pass through the filtering box 1501. The filtering box 1501 filters the sodium chloride solution to prevent impurities in the sodium chloride solution from entering the centrifugal pump 13.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a support plate 1503 is fixed to the inner side of the filtering box 1501, and a filter cotton 1504 is slidably connected between the support plate 1503 and an inner wall of the filtering box 1501. There are three filter cottons 1504, and the three filter cottons 1504 are equidistantly distributed between the support plate 1503 and an inner wall of the filtering box 1501. The three filter cottons 1504 can perform three-layer filtering on the sodium chloride solution, making the filtering effect more thorough.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a motor 1505 is fixed to one side of the filtration tank 1501, and the output end of the motor 1505 is connected to the first belt transmission assembly 1506. A second belt transmission assembly 1507 is fixed to one side of the first belt transmission assembly 1506. The first belt transmission assembly 1506 can operate under the action of the motor 1505, thereby driving the second belt transmission assembly 1507 to operate.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, worm gears 1508 are fixed to both output ends of the first belt transmission assembly 1506 and one output end of the second belt transmission assembly 1507. The worm gears 1508 are rotatably connected to one side of the filtration tank 1501. A worm wheel 1509 is meshed and connected to the front side of the worm gear 1508. The worm wheel 1509 is rotatably connected to the inside of the filtration tank 1501. A water guide ring 1510 is fixed to the bottom of the worm wheel 1509. The water guide ring 1510 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the filter cotton 1504 up and down. When the first belt transmission assembly 1506 operates, it can drive the corresponding two worm gears 1508 to rotate. When the second belt transmission assembly 1507 operates, it can drive the corresponding one worm gear 1508 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 1508 drives the rotation of the worm wheel 1509. The three water guide rings 1510 rotate simultaneously. The water guide ring 1510 plays a guiding role in the sodium chloride solution, enabling the sodium chloride solution to fully contact the filter cotton 1504, which is convenient for making full use of the filter cotton 1504 to filter the sodium chloride solution.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a water pump 1511 is fixed to the inner bottom of the filtration tank 1501. A second return water pipe 1512 is fixed to the top of the water pump 1511. The second return water pipe 1512 penetrates through the top of the filtration tank 1501 and extends into the storage tank mechanism 2. The water pump 1511 can pump the filtered sodium chloride solution into the storage tank mechanism 2.
[0031] The usage method and advantages of the present invention: The precision cooling equipment for plastic molds works as follows: As Figures 1 to 5As shown: The control panel 3 includes a temperature control system, hydraulic detection, and fault alarm. The storage tank mechanism 2 is used to store sodium hydroxide solution. The sandwich layer 202 of aluminum foil thermal insulation material can play a role in heat preservation. The epoxy resin coating 203 can prevent the box body 201 from being eroded and worn by chemical substances. The centrifugal pump 13 circulates the sodium hydroxide solution into the mold. After passing through the filter box 1501, the sodium hydroxide solution returns to the storage tank mechanism 2. The absorption refrigeration unit 10 and the cooling pipe 12 are used in combination to cool the liquid temperature to about minus 15 degrees Celsius. The sodium chloride solution at minus 15 degrees Celsius effectively cools the mold. Under the coordination of the temperature control system, the temperature can be adjusted to reach the required temperature value, thereby reducing the product production cycle and meeting the production requirements. After the liquid enters the filter box 1501, three filter cotton layers 1504 perform three-layer filtration on the sodium hydroxide solution. During this process, the first belt drive assembly 1506 and the second belt drive assembly 1507 operate to drive three worms 1508 to rotate. The worm gear 1509 rotates along with the rotation of the worm 1508, thereby driving the water guide ring 1510 to rotate. The water guide ring 1510 guides the sodium hydroxide solution, enabling it to fully contact the filter cotton 1504. The filtered liquid returns to the storage tank mechanism 2 through the second return water pipe 1512. If the absorption refrigeration unit 10 fails during the 24-hour production process, an alarm is installed at the top for display. There are two mobile interfaces, and the refrigeration equipment system can be replaced at any time to ensure the normal operation of the machine without affecting the production of products. When using this equipment, it is not allowed to put or add dangerous goods such as flammable, explosive liquids or gases into the storage tank mechanism 2. After a large number of or multiple experiments, it has been proved that the physical properties of sodium chloride solution remain unchanged under high or low temperature conditions, and it can be used safely with confidence.
