[0032] The tilting and hoisting frame 3 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure formed by splicing a number of columns and beams.

[0033] The demoulding support 6 is provided with: a plurality of supporting units for supporting the assembly; a limiting unit for limiting the combined mold body 1; and a demoulding unit for extracting the first mold body in the combined mold body 1 from the open hollow composite part; wherein the inner surface of the open hollow composite part corresponding to the profile of the first mold body has no concave and convex components.

[0034] Each support unit includes: a support card plate 8 that matches the outer surface contour of the open hollow composite part and abuts against the outer surface of the open hollow composite part; a card plate slot 9 for installing the support card plate 8; a guide rod 11 connected to the card plate slot 9 at one end; a guide sleeve 12 connected to the demoulding bracket 6 at one end; the other end of the guide rod 11 is slidably connected to the other end of the guide sleeve 12; a driving mechanism connected to the card plate slot 9 and used to drive the support card plate 8 to approach or move away from the open hollow composite part, and the driving mechanism is installed on the demoulding bracket 6. The driving mechanism in the utility model is a turbine screw lift 10.

[0035] The limiting unit includes a limiting fixing frame 7, one side of which is connected to the demoulding bracket 6, and the other side is connected to the second mold body in the combined mold body 1; wherein the inner surface of the open hollow composite part corresponding to the molding surface of the second mold body is provided with a concave and / or convex component.

[0036] The demoulding unit comprises: a screw rod 14 and a screw rod nut 16 which is transmission-connected to the screw rod 14 ; one end of the screw rod 14 is connected to the first mold body via a connecting seat 13 ; the screw rod nut 16 is installed on the demoulding bracket 6 via a screw rod support 15 .

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, after the open hollow composite part is solidified and formed, the vertically placed mold and the part are flipped to a horizontal state through a flip hanger composed of a combined mold body 1, a bag making platform 2, a flip hoisting frame 3, a fixed clamping plate 4, and a universal lifting ring 5.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal mold and the workpiece are hoisted onto the supporting pallet 8 of the tooling, and each supporting pallet is adjusted to a suitable height so that its profile completely fits the supporting workpiece and is evenly stressed.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, remove the fixed connection pins and screws between the combined mold body 1 and the bag-making platform 2; remove the fixed connection screws between the two cardboards below the fixed cardboard 4 and the flip hoisting frame 3. Move away the bag-making platform 2, the flip hoisting frame 3, the fixed cardboard 4, and the universal lifting ring 5.

[0040] like Figure 4As shown, one side of the limiting fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected to the demoulding bracket 6 by screws, and the other side is connected to the lower half of the combined mold body 1 (the second mold body); the screw support 15 is installed on the end of the demoulding bracket 6 by screws, the screw 14 and the screw nut 16 are screwed together by trapezoidal threads, and then the screw nut 16 is inserted into the limiting groove of the screw support 15 and can rotate freely in the groove.

The front end of the screw 14 is hingedly connected to the fork ear of the connecting seat 13 by a pin, and the connecting seat 13 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the combined mold body 1 (the first mold body) by screws.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the screw 14 is caused to move axially by rotating the screw nut 16.

At this time, the handwheel of the worm screw elevator 10 is turned to drive the clamping plate groove 9, the supporting clamping plate 8 and the workpiece to lower the height, so that the convex and concave areas of the open hollow composite workpiece with concave and convex components are completely separated from the lower part of the combined mold body 1, and then the workpiece is axially moved out of the gap between the lower part of the combined mold body 1 and the supporting clamping plate 8 to be lowered, and finally an open hollow composite workpiece with concave and convex components is obtained.

[0043] In the present invention, the first mold body is characterized in that: the inner surface of the open hollow composite material part corresponding to the profile of the first mold body has no concave and convex components. The second mold body is characterized in that: the inner surface of the open hollow composite material part corresponding to the profile of the second mold body is provided with concave and / or convex components. For ease of description, the combined mold body 1 in the present invention is composed of a first mold body (the upper half of the combined mold body 1) and a second mold body (the lower half of the combined mold body 1). In actual application, both the first mold body and the second mold body can be assembled by splicing a plurality of sub-mold bodies according to the structural characteristics of the open hollow composite material part.

[0044] The demoulding tooling for open hollow composite parts in the utility model meets the demoulding requirements of open hollow composite parts with concave and convex components. The position limiting fixing frame, supporting card plate, screw rod and the like of the tooling are all connected with the demoulding bracket by screw pins and can be disassembled and assembled as required.

[0045] The upper part of the combined mold body 1 is pulled out by mechanical force through the engagement of the trapezoidal threads of the screw 14 and the screw nut 16, and the demoulding speed is uniform and controllable, and the demoulding force is balanced and reliable. After the upper part of the combined mold body 1 is ejected, the hand wheel of the turbine screw lifter can be turned to easily separate the lower part of the combined mold body 1 from the raised and recessed areas of the workpiece.

[0046] The utility model can adapt to the demoulding work of open hollow composite parts with concave and convex components of different external dimensions within a certain size range by replacing supporting pallets of different sizes and external shapes. The tooling is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the operation is simple and convenient. The operating level requirements for the operator are low, and the simple operation greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0047] The utility model uses machined parts and standard parts with simple configuration, has a simple and compact overall structure, is easy to install and maintain, has low manufacturing cost, and works reliably. It is widely used in the demoulding process of open hollow composite parts after molding.
