Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of molds, and in particular to a mold for ice and snow carving. Background Art

[0002] With people's diversified pursuit of cultural arts and entertainment activities, ice and snow culture has gradually emerged around the world. Ice and snow sculptures, as an important form of expression of ice and snow culture, have attracted a large number of audiences and enthusiasts with their unique artistic charm. In cold regions, ice and snow sculptures have become an important part of winter landscapes and cultural activities, such as Harbin's Ice and Snow World and Canada's Quebec Ice and Snow Festival. These activities not only showcase exquisite ice and snow sculptures, but also promote the development of local tourism and enhance the city's visibility and cultural influence.

[0003] Ice and snow sculptures are also gradually gaining attention in non-cold regions, with a number of indoor ice and snow exhibitions and events beginning to take place, satisfying people's curiosity and appreciation for the art. This has led to a continuous expansion of market demand for ice and snow sculptures, and increasing requirements for production efficiency and quality.

[0004] Traditional ice and snow sculptures mainly rely on manual skills. Carvers rely on their own experience and skills to use simple tools to carve ice and snow materials. However, manual carving has many limitations. First of all, the production process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. For large and complex ice and snow sculptures, carvers need to spend a lot of time and energy. For example, making a large ice castle may require several carvers to work continuously for several days or even weeks to complete, which not only increases the production cost, but also limits the number of works and the creation cycle. This patent is to provide a mold for ice and snow carving to alleviate the technical problems in the prior art that ice and snow carving takes a long time and is not easy to mass-produce, and a lot of manpower and material resources are wasted during the production process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art that ice and snow carvings require a long time and are difficult to mass-produce, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are wasted during the production process, and to propose a mold for ice and snow carvings.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A mold for ice and snow carving includes a base, the base is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, the side of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a first support frame, the first support frame is slidably connected to a slide rail seat, a second support frame is provided on a side above the slide rail seat away from the first support frame, the second support frame is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, the first support frame is rotatably connected to a first worm, the first worm is meshed with a first worm gear, the side of the first worm gear is threadedly connected to the first mold, a recess is provided inside the first mold, a second mold is provided on one side of the first mold, a convex edge is provided on one side of the second mold, a second worm gear is threadedly connected to the other side of the second mold, the second worm gear is meshed with a second worm, the second worm is rotatably connected to the second support frame, a knocking mechanism is provided above the base, the knocking mechanism is used to knock the second mold and the ice and snow sculptures inside the first mold.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] The knocking mechanism includes a gear arranged above the base, the gear is meshedly connected with a rack, the rack is fixedly connected to a moving block, the moving block is rotatably connected to a cam, a connecting plate is provided below the cam, the connecting plate is slidably connected to a compression rod, a spring is fixedly connected below the compression rod, a fixed column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block, the fixed column is rotatably connected to the long rod, and the long rod is fixedly connected to the knocking block.

[0010] The surface of the second mold is provided with a mold feeding port, the mold feeding port can be blocked with a plug, and a reverse threaded port is provided inside the mold feeding port.

[0011] A water volume detector is fixedly connected to the top of the base, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water volume detector, one end of the connecting pipe is provided with a threaded opening, one side of the connecting pipe is provided with a display screen, and the display screen is fixed above the base.

[0012] The second support frame is slidably connected to the slide rail seat below, and a first stabilizing block is fixedly connected to the top of the first support frame. The first stabilizing block is rotatably connected to the first worm.

[0013] A second stabilizing block is provided above the second supporting frame, and the second stabilizing block is rotatably connected to the second worm.

[0014] The base is slidably connected to the upper moving block, and a pressing block for being pressed down and collided by the compression rod is provided on one side of the long rod.

[0015] The base is rotatably connected to the gear above, and the rack is slidably connected to the base. When the second mold and the first mold are brought close together, the convex edge can just be inserted into the recess.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In the present invention, the mold can realize the mass production of ice sculptures and snow sculptures. When it is necessary to produce multiple identical or similar ice and snow sculptures, such as when holding an ice and snow festival that requires a large number of ice sculpture decorations or snow sculpture landscapes, the mold can be reused to ensure that the shape and size of each work are basically consistent. This allows more ice and snow sculptures to be produced in the same amount of time to meet the needs of large-scale activities or markets.

[0018] 2. For snow sculptures, by fixing the mold and rotating and knocking the inside, the filled snow can be made more uniform and dense, ensuring the overall quality and stability of the snow sculpture, avoiding the problems of hollowness and looseness that may occur in snow sculptures during hand-made production, making the structure of the snow sculpture more solid and the appearance more flat and beautiful. In the production of ice sculptures, molds can produce some fine patterns and designs. These details may require a lot of time and effort in traditional hand-carving, and it is difficult to ensure that the details of each work are completely consistent.

[0019] 3. In this invention, traditional ice and snow carving relies on manual labor by the sculptor, who must perform high-intensity work in a low-temperature environment for long periods of time, requiring high physical strength and skills. However, the use of this mold greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor. In ice sculpture production, the sculptor does not need to perform tedious cutting and carving operations. Instead, he only needs to perform simple operations such as mold installation and water filling, which reduces the time and physical exertion of working in a cold environment.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the knocking mechanism, the knocking mechanism includes a gear 21 arranged above the base 1, the gear 21 is meshedly connected with a rack 22, the rack 22 is fixedly connected with a moving block 23, the moving block 23 is rotatably connected with a cam 24, a connecting plate 25 is provided below the cam 24, the connecting plate 25 is slidably connected with a compression rod 27, a spring 26 is fixedly connected below the compression rod 27, a fixed column 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block 23, the fixed column 30 is rotatably connected to the long rod 29, and the long rod 29 is fixedly connected to the knocking block 28.

[0030] In this embodiment, a knocking mechanism is provided to provide vibration assistance during ice and snow carving, so that carvings that are difficult to come out of the mold can be slightly vibrated to ensure that they can be completely shelled. In the knocking structure, when the knocking block 28 is used to knock the first mold 8 and the second mold 11, the rotation rate of 24 can be changed to ensure the final mold shelling rate.

[0031] In one embodiment, for the second mold 11 , a mold feeding port 12 is provided on the surface of the second mold 11 , the mold feeding port 12 can be blocked with a plug 10 , and a reverse threaded port is provided inside the mold feeding port 12 .

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting the compression rod 27, the rotation frequency 24 can be used to deal with the complete separation of different ice and snow sculptures from the mold.

[0040] In one embodiment, for the base 1 , the base 1 is rotatably connected to the gear 21 above, and the rack 22 is slidably connected to the base 1 . When the second mold 11 and the first mold 8 are brought close together, the convex edge 13 can just be inserted into the recess 14 .

[0041] The working principle of a mold for ice and snow carving in the present invention is that first, the staff carves according to the type of ice and snow carving to be done. If the staff is performing ice carving, they select a module that can smoothly pass through the water flow and has no water flow blockage. Then the mold can be divided into two parts, one side is the first mold 8, and the other side is the second mold 11. Then, they are threadedly connected to the first worm gear 7 and the second worm gear 17 on both sides to fix them on their surfaces. Then, the mold feeding port 12 above the second mold 11 is rotated vertically upward through the threaded rod 2 at the bottom of the base 1, and then the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 5 will gradually approach along the threaded rod 2. , then use the convex edge 13 on the side of the second mold 11 to insert it into the recess 14 on the side of the first mold 8 to connect it, so that it is fixed to prevent the liquid from flowing out, and then remove the plug 10 on the surface of the second mold 11, and then thread the connecting pipe 20 above the base 1 with the mold feeding port 12 set in the second mold 11, and then start the water volume detector 18 to inject water for making ice sculptures into the mold connected with the recess 14 and the first mold 8, and then remove the connecting pipe 20, and then thread the plug 10 with the mold feeding port 12 on the surface of the second mold 11 to block it, and then put the mold connection and the whole into the sub-zero temperature to make ice sculptures. In the environment, after the required time is reached, the liquid inside the first mold 8 has solidified and become fixed. At this time, the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 can be separated by rotating the threaded rod 2 below. If the separation is unsuccessful, a hot towel can be used to warm the surface of the first mold 8 and the second mold 11. Do not leave it for too long. When the ice sculpture is about to separate and there is still a part of it sticking, the cam 24 can be controlled to rotate, and then the cam 24 will squeeze the compression rod 27, and the compression rod 27 will further compress the spring 26, so that the compression rod 27 presses the long rod 29, and then the knocking block 28 on one side of the long rod 29 will press the first mold 8 or the second mold 11. The knocking is performed, and the distance between the knocking block 28 and the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 should not be set too close. Then the first worm 6 is used to rotate and then drive the first worm gear 7, further rotating the first mold 8. Then the second worm 16 on the other side rotates and then drives the second worm gear 17. Then the second worm gear 17 drives the second mold 11 to rotate. When the first worm 6 and the second worm 16 rotate, they rotate synchronously. Then, the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 can be knocked by the knocking block 28 while they are rotating. After moderate knocking, the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 are removed and the complete ice sculpture is directly taken out.

[0042] If snow sculpture is to be made, the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 are fixed on the sides of the first worm gear 7 and the second worm 16 as mentioned above, and then the funnel is placed at the hole of the mold feeding port 12, and the ice and snow material is injected from the mold feeding port 12 of the second mold 11. After the injection is completed, the cam 24 is rotated and then drives the knocking block 28 to knock the first mold 8 and the second mold 11, and then the first worm 6 and the second worm 16 are rotated to rotate and knock the ice and snow material inside the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 to ensure that it is completely filled. Finally, the mold feeding port 12 is blocked with the plug 10, and then the snow sculpture is taken out. Subsequently, the water volume detector 18 can be used to inject liquid into the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 to monitor the water capacity through the display screen 19 and compare it with the initial water capacity. If the capacity is reduced or there is leakage, the first mold 8 and the second mold 11 can be replaced.

[0043] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
