[0001] This invention relates to the field of manufacturing new prefabricated building equipment, and in particular to a modular integrated box mold with adjustable dimensions and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapid development of the construction industry, modular prefabricated buildings, which integrate structure, architecture, and decoration into modular box units manufactured in factories and then transported to the construction site for installation, are receiving increasing attention due to their advantage of significantly shortening project construction cycles. Modular integrated box molds are mostly steel molds. When mass-producing modular boxes, different lengths require customized steel molds, which are time-consuming and costly to manufacture, resulting in significant production costs and time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a modular integrated box mold with adjustable size and its usage method. The present invention can meet the needs of manufacturing modular boxes of different sizes, which not only reduces the production cost of modular boxes, but also improves the production efficiency of modular boxes.

[0004] An adjustable-size modular integrated box mold includes a mold platform, an inner mold disposed on the mold platform, a track disposed below the mold platform, and an outer mold disposed inside the inner mold. The outer mold includes a side mold and an outer end mold. The side mold includes an outer core side mold and an outer end side mold connected to the outer core side mold. The outer end mold, the outer core side mold, and the outer end side mold are all mounted on a support frame. The support frame is slidably mounted on a track. The support frame is used to move the outer end mold, the outer core side mold, and the outer end side mold to a position aligned with the side of the mold table and with the bottom edge of the mold flush with the upper surface of the mold table, so as to form a casting area with the inner mold. The dimensions of the inner mold, outer end mold, and outer core side mold are matched with the dimensions of the box to be produced.

[0005] Preferably, the inner mold includes an inner core mold and inner end molds disposed on both sides of the inner core mold.

[0006] Preferably, the track includes a transverse track arranged along the length direction of the mold table and a longitudinal track arranged along the width direction of the mold table. The outer end mold is fixed on a support frame arranged on the transverse track, and the outer core side mold and the outer end side mold are both fixed on a support frame arranged on the longitudinal track.

[0007] Preferably, the support frame includes a support body, pulleys disposed at the bottom of the support body, a power mechanism disposed within the support body, and a movable support disposed on the side of the support body facing the mold table. The movable support is connected to the power mechanism, and the outer end mold, the outer core side mold, or the outer end side mold are all fixed on the movable support.

[0008] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a drive motor and a lead screw transmission mechanism connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the movable support is connected to the lead screw transmission mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame is also provided with a stair platform to facilitate workers' observation of the concrete pouring process.

[0010] A method for using a modular integrated box mold with adjustable dimensions includes the following steps: S1. Select the appropriate size of inner end mold, inner core mold, outer end mold and outer core side mold according to the size of the box to be produced; S2, Assemble the inner end mold and inner core mold on the mold table to form the inner mold; S3. First, fix the outer core side mold and the multiple outer end side molds on the support frames on both sides of the mold table. Assemble the outer core side mold and the multiple outer end side molds into a complete side mold. Then move each support frame so that it moves along the track to move the side mold to a position that is aligned with the side of the mold table and its bottom edge is flush with the upper surface of the mold table. S4. Fix the outer mold on each support frame at both ends of the mold table, and then move each support frame to move it along the track so that the outer mold is aligned with the end face of the mold table and its bottom edge is flush with the upper surface of the mold table. S5, fix the side mold and the outer end mold together to form the outer mold. The area between the outer mold and the inner mold is the casting area. S6. After the reinforcing bars are placed into the formwork, concrete is poured into the pouring area. After the concrete has cured, the connection between the side formwork and the outer end formwork is removed. Then, each support frame is moved to quickly remove the outer formwork. The resulting modular integrated box is then hoisted to the finished product placement area.

[0011] Preferably, when it is necessary to produce modular integrated boxes of other sizes, it is only necessary to replace the inner end mold, inner core mold, outer end mold and outer core side mold of the corresponding size, and then repeat steps S2-S6.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention sets an inner mold on a mold platform and a support frame on a track. The support frame is used to quickly move the side mold and the outer end mold into place and assemble them into an outer mold. The inner mold, the outer mold, and the mold platform form a casting area, which can realize the rapid assembly of integrated box molds. When producing modular boxes of different sizes, only the inner mold, the outer core side mold, and the outer end mold of the corresponding size need to be replaced. It can quickly replace the integrated box mold of different sizes to meet the production needs of modular boxes of different scales in engineering. This not only reduces the production cost of modular boxes, but also improves the production efficiency of modular boxes.

[0013] 2. This invention utilizes a support frame to quickly move the side mold and outer end mold into place and assemble them into an outer mold, which can greatly improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the integrated box mold, thereby improving the production efficiency of modular boxes.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] To better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The present invention provides a modular integrated box mold with adjustable size, including a mold platform 1, an inner mold 2 disposed on the mold platform 1, a track 7 disposed below the mold platform 1, and an outer mold disposed inside the inner mold 2.

[0028] The inner mold includes an inner core mold 22 and inner end molds 21 disposed on both sides of the inner core mold 22. After the inner core mold 22 and the inner end molds 21 on both sides are assembled into one piece, the inner mold is formed.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the inner core mold 22 and the inner end mold 21 are cubic steel molds. The difference is that the inner core mold 22 has openings at both ends, while the left and right inner end molds 21 have openings at only one end. The dimensions of the inner core mold 22 and the inner end mold 21 are determined according to the dimensions of the box to be produced.

[0030] The outer mold includes a side mold 5 and an outer end mold 4. The side mold 5 includes an outer core side mold 52 and at least one section of an outer end side mold 51 connected to the outer core side mold 52. The outer end mold 4, the outer core side mold 52, and the outer end side mold 51 are all mounted on a support frame 6. The support frame 6 is slidably mounted on a track 7. The support frame 6 is used to move the outer end mold 4, the outer core side mold 52, and the outer end side mold 51 to a position aligned with the side of the mold table and with the bottom edge of the mold flush with the upper surface of the mold table, so as to form a casting area with the inner mold 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the side mold 5 consists of an outer core side mold 52 and two outer end side molds 51. The two outer end side molds 51 are located on both sides of the outer core side mold 52, and each is supported by its support frame 6.

[0032] The support frame 6 is movably mounted on the track 7. The track 7 includes a transverse track along the length of the mold table 1 and a longitudinal track along the width of the mold table 1. The outer end mold 4 is fixed on the support frame mounted on the transverse track, and the outer core side mold 52 and the outer end side mold 51 are both fixed on the support frame mounted on the longitudinal track.

[0033] The support frame can not only slide along the track with the mold fixed on it, but also change the height of the mold so that the mold is flush with the upper surface of the mold platform. During pouring, the mold platform is used as the bottom mold, and concrete is poured in the pouring area enclosed between the outer mold and the inner mold.

[0034] The support frame 6 includes a support body 61, a pulley 62 disposed at the bottom of the support body 61, a power mechanism disposed inside the support body 61, and a movable support 63 disposed on the side of the support body 61 facing the mold table. The movable support 63 is connected to the power mechanism, and the outer end mold 4, the outer core side mold 52 or the outer end side mold 51 are all fixed on the movable support 63.

[0035] The power mechanism includes a drive motor and a lead screw transmission mechanism connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The movable support 63 is connected to the lead screw transmission mechanism.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support body 61 consists of two trapezoidal supports and a connecting beam connecting the two trapezoidal supports. A screw drive mechanism is provided on each of the two trapezoidal supports. The two screw drive mechanisms can be driven by a drive motor or by their respective corresponding drive motors. The two ends of the movable support 63 are fixed to the nut seats of the screw drive mechanism (the nut seats are set on the screw).

[0037] When the motor is started, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, the nut seat on it can move up and down, thereby driving the movable support 63 to move up and down. Since the outer end mold 4, the outer core side mold 52 or the outer end side mold 51 are fixed on the movable support 63, the outer end mold 4, the outer core side mold 52 or the outer end side mold 51 can be driven to move up and down.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the support frame 6 is also provided with a stair platform for workers to observe the concrete pouring process. The stair platform includes a platform on the top of the support frame 6 and a staircase on the side of the support frame 6, and the edge of the platform is provided with a guardrail.

[0039] In actual production, if the size of the modular integrated box changes, the inner end mold 21, inner core mold 22, outer end mold 4 and outer core side mold 52 of the corresponding size need to be replaced according to the size of the modular integrated box.

[0040] This invention also provides a method for using a modular integrated box mold with adjustable dimensions, specifically including the following steps: S1. Select the appropriate size of the inner end mold 21, inner core mold 22, outer end mold 4, and outer core side mold 52 according to the size of the box to be produced.

[0041] S2, assemble the inner end mold 21 and inner core mold 22 on the mold platform to form the inner mold 2.

[0042] S3, first fix the outer core side mold 52 and the multiple outer end side molds 51 on the support frames 6 on both sides of the mold table, assemble the outer core side mold 52 and the multiple outer end side molds 51 into a complete side mold 5, and then move each support frame 6 to move it along the track 7 to move the side mold 5 to a position that is aligned with the side of the mold table and its bottom edge is flush with the upper surface of the mold table.

[0043] S4, fix the outer mold 4 on each support frame 6 at both ends of the mold table, and then move each support frame 6 to move it along the track 7 so that the outer mold 4 is aligned with the end face of the mold table and its bottom edge is flush with the upper surface of the mold table.

[0044] S5, fix the side mold 5 and the outer end mold 4 together to form the outer mold. The area between the outer mold and the inner mold 2 is the casting area.

[0045] S6. After the reinforcing bars are put into the formwork, concrete is poured into the pouring area. After the concrete is cured, the connection between the side formwork 5 and the outer end formwork 4 is removed. Then, each support frame 6 is moved to quickly remove the outer formwork. The resulting modular integrated box is then lifted to the finished product placement area.

[0046] When it is necessary to produce modular integrated boxes of other sizes, simply replace the inner end mold 21, inner core mold 22, outer end mold 4 and outer core side mold 52 of the corresponding size, and then repeat steps S2-S6.

[0047] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
