Currently, the traditional quick-change structure of thermoforming molds uses screws to fix the inserts on the upper side. When the locating pins need to be replaced, the replacement is cumbersome, cannot achieve quick replacement, cannot guarantee the stability of the locating pins after replacement, increases the workload, and cannot guarantee the stability of the production status after replacement, which has a significant impact on the supply of parts.

[0003] No effective solution has yet been proposed to address the above issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a thermoforming mold that solves the problem that the positioning pin fixing structure in the prior art cannot achieve quick replacement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a thermoforming mold is provided, comprising: a lower mold insert disposed on a base plate; a locating pin disposed vertically on the lower mold insert and the base plate, wherein a portion of the locating pin protrudes from the upper end of the lower mold insert to form a columnar structure for positioning the product to be formed; and a locking assembly connected to the base plate, the locking assembly having a locked state in which the locating pin is locked on the lower mold insert and the base plate in a horizontal direction, and an unlocked state in which the locking assembly moves in a horizontal direction to release the locating pin.

[0006] Furthermore, there are multiple positioning pins, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the lower mold insert, and each positioning pin is provided with a locking component.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking assembly is disposed on the outer wall of the pad, and at least a portion of the locking assembly is located within the pad.

[0008] Further, the locking assembly includes: an insert plate connected to the pad; and a pull member, one end of which is connected to the insert plate and the other end of which is located outside the pad. Operating the pull member can move the insert plate horizontally to the locked state and the unlocked state. When the insert plate is in the locked state, its end abuts against the side wall of the positioning pin.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the positioning pin is provided with an abutment groove that mates with the end of the insert plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the pad is provided with a limiting hole for accommodating part of the positioning pin, and the side wall of the limiting hole is provided with a mounting groove for installing the insert plate. The mounting groove extends horizontally, and the insert plate is movably disposed in the mounting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided at the bottom of the end of the mounting groove away from the limiting hole, and a locking hole is provided on the insert plate for the locking member to pass through. When the pad is in the locked state, the locking member extends through the locking hole into the positioning hole to lock the insert plate onto the pad.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking element is a locking screw.

[0013] Furthermore, the pulling component is a pulling screw.

[0014] Furthermore, the locating pin is manufactured using a quenching process.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this invention and controlling the working position of the locking component, damaged locating pins can be quickly replaced from the lower mold insert.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a thermoforming mold is provided.

[0028] Specifically, it includes a lower mold insert 3, which is disposed on a pad 4. A positioning pin 1 is disposed vertically on the lower mold insert 3 and the pad 4, and part of the positioning pin 1 protrudes from the upper end of the lower mold insert 3 to form a columnar structure for positioning the product to be molded. A locking assembly is connected to the pad 4. The locking assembly has a locking state in which the positioning pin 1 is locked on the lower mold insert 3 and the pad 4 in the horizontal direction, and an unlocking state in which the locking assembly moves in the horizontal direction to release the positioning pin 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the positioning pin 1 is vertically positioned on the lower mold insert 3 and the pad 4, partially protruding from the upper end of the lower mold insert 3 to form a columnar structure. This ensures precise positioning of the product to be molded within the mold, preventing movement during the molding process and guaranteeing consistent product quality and dimensions. The locking assembly is connected to the pad 4 and functions to lock the positioning pin 1 onto the lower mold insert 3 and the pad 4. In the locked state, the positioning pin 1 is horizontally locked, effectively enhancing the overall stability of the mold and preventing loosening or displacement of mold components during high-temperature and high-pressure molding, which could affect the molding effect. In the unlocked state, the locking assembly can move horizontally to release the positioning pin 1. This simplifies mold maintenance and component replacement, improving production efficiency. By controlling the working position of the locking assembly, damaged positioning pins 1 can be quickly removed from the lower mold insert 3, and the locking assembly can also quickly lock the positioning pin 1. The thermoforming mold with this structure effectively improves the efficiency of replacing positioning pins 1.

[0030] Specifically, there are multiple positioning pins 1, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the lower mold insert 3, and each positioning pin 1 is provided with a locking component.

[0031] In this embodiment, multiple locating pins 1 can accurately position the upper mold or the parts to be processed or assembled from different directions, ensuring that the relative position between the upper and lower molds or parts remains unchanged under pressure or during movement, thereby improving processing accuracy and assembly precision. The circumferential distribution of the locating pins 1 increases the stability of the overall structure, allowing for a more even distribution of force on the lower mold insert 3 during mold closure or part assembly, reducing stress concentration, extending mold life, and improving finished product quality. Especially in mold applications subjected to high pressure or impact, it can effectively prevent the lower mold insert 3 from shifting or rotating, maintaining stability during operation. Each locating pin 1 is equipped with a locking component, which allows for quick locking or releasing of the locating pin 1 when changing molds or adjusting parts, greatly improving production efficiency. This design can adjust the number and position of the locating pins 1 according to actual needs to adapt to parts or molds of different sizes and shapes, increasing the flexibility and versatility of the system.

[0032] Specifically, the locking assembly is disposed on the outer wall of the pad 4, and at least part of the locking assembly is located inside the pad 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, placing the locking component inside the pad 4 reduces the exposed parts of the overall device, making the structure more compact, saving space, and potentially reducing weight, thus improving portability. The relatively enclosed environment inside the pad 4 provides protection for the locking component, preventing direct impact or damage, extending its lifespan, and increasing security by preventing accidental unlocking or unauthorized operation. Furthermore, concealing the locking component within the pad 4 enhances the device's appearance, making it cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing, and conforming to the minimalist style of modern industrial design. The tight connection between the locking component and the pad 4, along with the design of some components being located inside the pad 4, not only ensures the stable locking of the positioning pin 1 but also reduces interference from external components, resulting in a more compact mold structure and easier operation.

[0034] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a plate 2, which is connected to a pad 4. One end of a puller 6 is connected to the plate 2, and the other end of the puller 6 is located outside the pad 4. The operation of the puller 6 can move the plate 2 horizontally to a locked state and an unlocked state. When the plate 2 is in the locked state, the end of the plate 2 abuts against the side wall of the positioning pin 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the insert plate 2 is in the locked state, its end is in close contact with the side wall of the positioning pin 1, effectively restricting the movement of the positioning pin 1. This ensures that the fixed component will not shake or shift due to external forces, improving the overall structural stability. By operating the pull-out piece 6, the insert plate 2 can be moved horizontally to the unlocked position for quick release. This allows users to quickly adjust or disassemble the fixed component when needed, improving convenience and efficiency. The other end of the pull-out piece 6 is designed on the outside of the pad 4, allowing users to directly access it and operate it without additional tools, making the locking and unlocking process more intuitive and easier to operate. The linkage mechanism between the insert plate 2 and the pull-out piece 6 can prevent accidental unlocking to a certain extent, because unless the pull-out piece 6 is intentionally operated, the insert plate 2 is not easily moved out of the locked position, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. By moving the insert plate 2 horizontally through the pull-out piece 6, the locking and releasing process of the positioning pin 1 is automated, simplifying operation and improving the efficiency and safety of the mold.

[0036] Specifically, the side wall of the positioning pin 1 is provided with an abutment groove that matches the end of the insert plate 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the abutment groove provides a clear alignment reference for the insert plate 2, enabling it to be accurately inserted into the predetermined position in the positioning pin 1. When the insert plate 2 is fully inserted and abuts against the abutment groove of the positioning pin 1, a stable connection is formed between the two, helping to prevent loosening or misalignment during use and improving the overall structural stability. The abutment groove design allows the insert plate 2 to be easily installed on the positioning pin 1, while also simplifying the disassembly process and facilitating maintenance and component replacement. By setting specific abutment points, unnecessary friction or wear on the positioning pin 1 or other components during insertion or removal of the insert plate 2 can be avoided, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0038] Specifically, the pad 4 has a limiting hole 41 for accommodating the positioning pin 1, and the side wall of the limiting hole 41 has a mounting groove 42 for mounting the insert plate 2. The mounting groove 42 extends horizontally, and the insert plate 2 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 42.

[0039] In this embodiment, the limiting hole 41 on the pad 4 is used to accommodate a portion of the positioning pin 1. Through the engagement of the positioning pin 1, the pad 4 can be precisely aligned with other parts, ensuring accurate relative positions of all components during assembly. The engagement of the positioning pin 1 with the limiting hole 41, combined with the movable arrangement of the insert plate 2 within the mounting groove 42, forms a robust locking mechanism. When the insert plate 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 42 and the positioning pin 1 is fixed, the overall structural stability is enhanced, preventing component displacement due to vibration or external force. The movable arrangement of the insert plate 2 means it can be easily inserted into or removed from the mounting groove 42 when needed, making component assembly and disassembly more convenient and reducing maintenance and repair difficulties. The horizontally extending mounting groove 42 allows the insert plate 2 to move within a certain range, meaning that in certain application scenarios, the connection between the pad 4 and the positioning pin 1 can be fine-tuned to adapt to different installation requirements or environmental changes. The design of the limiting hole 41 and the mounting groove 42 reduces wear on the positioning pin 1 and the insert plate 2 during use, extending their service life. At the same time, this design also helps protect other parts from damage caused by inaccurate positioning.

[0040] Specifically, a positioning hole 421 is provided at the bottom of the end of the mounting groove 42 away from the limiting hole 41. The insert plate 2 has a locking hole for the locking member 5 to pass through. When the pad 4 is in the locked state, the locking member 5 extends through the locking hole into the positioning hole 421 to lock the insert plate 2 onto the pad 4. In this embodiment, after the locking member 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 421, the connection between the insert plate 2 and the pad 4 is more stable, preventing loosening or detachment due to external forces or vibration. The design of the positioning hole 421 and the locking hole ensures the positional accuracy of the insert plate 2 relative to the pad 4, enabling the equipment or structure to meet the expected design requirements during assembly. This locking structure allows the insert plate 2 to be quickly unlocked and disassembled when needed, facilitating maintenance and replacement, and also simplifying equipment debugging and adjustment. The locking member 5 not only fixes the insert plate 2 but also prevents unauthorized personnel from disassembling or adjusting it arbitrarily, increasing equipment security. By adjusting the positional relationship between the positioning hole 421 and the locking hole, it can be applied to insert plates 2 of different sizes and shapes, thus improving the versatility and flexibility of the overall structure.

[0041] Specifically, locking component 5 is a locking screw.

[0042] In this embodiment, locking screws can tightly connect two or more components together, preventing relative movement during operation and ensuring the stability and safety of equipment operation. The use of locking screws provides a reliable fixing method, is convenient to operate and easy to adjust, and is suitable for precise adjustment and maintenance of molds.

[0043] Specifically, the puller 6 is a puller screw.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pull screw design allows for precise force control during assembly, ensuring ideal fit and strength between components and preventing damage from over-tightening or loosening from under-tightening. The pull screw can be reused multiple times without damage, which is very helpful in reducing costs and improving material utilization, especially when assembling multi-piece structures. As the pull component 6, the pull screw, utilizing its thread characteristics, provides uniform pulling force, ensuring smooth movement of the insert plate 2 and improving the control accuracy and ease of operation of the locking assembly.

[0045] Specifically, the locating pin 1 is made by a quenching process.

[0046] In this embodiment, the locating pin 1, which is treated by quenching, has higher hardness and wear resistance. Even under long-term and high-intensity use, it can maintain its geometric shape and positional accuracy, reduce mold wear, and extend the service life of the mold.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present invention, the positional relationship of each component is detailed below. Figure 1 , Figure 3For details on the hole positions and specific locations on pad 4, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 4 .

[0048] Specifically, in view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-change fixing structure for locating pins in thermoforming molds. According to this invention, the quick-change fixing structure for locating pins in thermoforming molds includes a first locating pin, a second insert plate, a third lower mold insert, and a fourth pad plate. The third lower mold insert has a locating pin mounting hole that matches the first locating pin. The fourth pad plate has a second insert plate mounting groove and a first locating pin mounting clearance hole. The first locating pin and the second insert plate are inserted and fitted together for limiting, and the second insert plate and the fourth pad plate are fitted together for locking. The first locating pin is fixed in position according to the locating pin mounting hole that matches the third lower mold insert. The positioning pin is inserted into and limited by the fourth pad; the third lower die insert is installed on the fourth pad; the second insert plate is installed on the fourth pad; the first positioning pin has a pull hole for moving along the insertion / removal direction; the second insert plate has a pull thread hole for moving along the insertion / removal slot direction; preferably, the second insert plate includes a locking screw M8X25; the second insert plate locking screw and the fourth pad are locked and fixed by a threaded connection; preferably, the first positioning pin is a positioning pin made of SKD11 material; preferably, the first positioning pin is a positioning pin that has undergone quenching treatment; preferably, the first positioning pin has a matching positioning pin mounting hole opened according to the third lower die insert for a transition fit.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention uses a first positioning pin and a second insert plate for insertion and positioning, a fourth pad slot for insertion and positioning, and a second insert plate fixing member for locking with the fourth pad. If the first positioning pin needs to be replaced, the second insert plate fixing member can be removed from the fourth pad, and the second insert plate can be pulled out from the fourth pad. The first positioning pin can then be removed from the positioning pin mounting slot 42 for replacement. This makes the positioning pin easy to remove and replacement simple, reducing workload, minimizing the impact on mold use, and reducing the impact on the supply of parts. The third aspect of the present invention... The mounting hole for the mold insert locating pin and the insertion portion of the first locating pin are designed with a smooth transition fit, eliminating gaps between the mounting hole and the product. This helps protect the product's surface and does not affect the forming and quality of the part. Furthermore, this structure allows for easy insertion of the first locating pin into the mounting hole for the third lower mold insert locating pin, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the fixing structure. The insertion and limiting of the first locating pin with the second insert plate ensures stable production after pin replacement. The first locating pin is a hardened locating pin to increase its hardness and heat resistance, thus extending its service life.
