The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , is the first embodiment of the utility model, which provides a processing mold for an automobile thermostat housing, including a bottom plate 1, a slide groove 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the bottom plate 1, an air groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the slide groove 2, a connecting pipe 4 is provided at one end of the air groove 3, a push plate 5 is provided in the inner cavity of the slide groove 2, and a buffer mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the push plate 5. The buffer mechanism 6 includes a lower fixing ring 601, an upper fixing ring 602, a buffer spring 603 and an ejector pin 604. The lower fixing ring 601 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the push plate 5, the upper fixing ring 602 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the slide groove 2, the buffer spring 603 is arranged on the inner sides of the lower fixing ring 601 and the upper fixing ring 602, and the ejector pin 604 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower fixing ring 601.

[0025] Specifically, a lower mold 7 is arranged on the top of the base plate 1, a lifting hole 14 is opened at the bottom of the lower mold 7, an upper mold 8 is arranged on the top of the lower mold 7, exhaust holes 10 are opened on both sides of the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7, cooling water channels 11 are arranged on both sides of the inner cavity of the lower mold 7, an injection hole 12 is opened at the top of the upper mold 8, and a pressing plate 13 is arranged on the top of the upper mold 8.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom plate 1 provides a stable support for the mold to ensure that the mold will not shake or deform during the processing. The slide groove 2 provides a sliding track for the push plate 5 so that it can move in the vertical direction. The air pressure generated by the air pump is transmitted to the push plate 5 through the air groove 3 and the connecting pipe 4 to drive the push plate 5 to move. Under the action of the air pressure, the push plate 5 pushes the ejector pin 604 to move in the ejection hole 14 to demould the shell. When the ejector pin 604 starts to move upward to eject the molded shell, the buffer spring 603 in the buffer mechanism 6 will provide a reverse resistance. This resistance can effectively slow down the rising speed of the ejector pin 604, thereby preventing the direct impact between the ejector pin 604 and the shell, thereby reducing the instantaneous stress on the mold. , to avoid damage or deformation of the mold due to uneven force. The exhaust hole 10 can be set to discharge air and excess material in the mold cavity to ensure that there are no bubbles and impurities inside the shell. The cooling water circulating in the cooling water channel 11 takes away the heat of the mold and reduces the temperature of the mold, thereby accelerating the cooling and solidification process of the shell. The molten material can be injected into the mold cavity through the injection hole 12. The pressing plate 13 is connected to the transmission mechanism to drive the upper mold 8 to move downward and perform precise mold closing operation with the lower mold 7. During the mold closing process, the pressing plate 13 can also provide sufficient pressure to ensure that the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7 are tightly fitted to prevent the molten material from leaking during the injection molding process and ensure the molding quality of the product.

[0027] When in use, the mold is in an open state, the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7 are separated to form an open mold cavity, the buffer spring 603 of the buffer mechanism 6 is in a natural state, the ejector pin 604 is located at the bottom of the jacking hole 14 of the lower mold 7, the air groove 3 and the connecting pipe 4 are connected to the air pump, but have not started working. When closing the mold, the pressing plate 13 is connected to the transmission mechanism to drive the upper mold 8 to move downward and perform a precise mold closing operation with the lower mold 7. During the mold closing process, the pressing plate 13 provides sufficient pressure to ensure that the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7 are tightly fitted to prevent the molten material from leaking during the injection molding process. When the mold is completely closed, the molten material is injected into the mold cavity through the injection hole 12. The setting of the exhaust hole 10 makes The air and excess material in the mold cavity can be discharged to ensure that there are no bubbles and impurities inside the shell. The circulating cooling water in the cooling water channel 11 takes away the heat of the mold and reduces the temperature of the mold, thereby accelerating the cooling and solidification process of the shell. When the shell is completely cooled and solidified, the air pump starts to work and applies air pressure to the push plate 5 through the connecting pipe 4 and the air groove 3. The push plate 5 moves upward under the action of the air pressure, driving the ejector pin 604 to move upward in the ejection hole 14 to eject the molded shell. In the process of the ejector pin 604 moving upward, the buffer spring 603 of the buffer mechanism 6 starts to play a role. They provide a reverse resistance to slow down the rising speed of the ejector pin 604, thereby preventing the direct impact between the ejector pin 604 and the shell.

[0028] In summary, the pneumatically driven demoulding mechanism has a fast response speed and high control accuracy, and can complete the demoulding operation quickly and accurately, further improving production efficiency. The setting of the buffer mechanism 6 effectively reduces the instantaneous stress on the mold during the demoulding process, avoids damage or deformation of the mold due to uneven force, further improves the life of the mold, and at the same time reduces safety hazards during operation, thereby improving production safety.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a processing mold for an automobile thermostat housing. A guide mechanism 9 is arranged on the top of the base plate 1. The guide mechanism 9 includes a guide sleeve 901, a guide column 902, a support plate 903 and a compression spring 904. The guide sleeve 901 is arranged at the four corners of the top of the base plate 1.

[0031] Specifically, the guide column 902 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 901, one end of the guide column 902 is connected to the pressure plate 13, the support plate 903 is arranged on the top of the guide sleeve 901, and the compression spring 904 is arranged on the top of the support plate 903 and is sleeved on the outside of the guide column 902.

[0032] Furthermore, the guide sleeve 901 provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the upper mold 8, ensuring that the upper mold 8 can maintain stable vertical movement during the lifting process to avoid deviation or tilting, thereby ensuring the accuracy of mold closing and the quality of the shell. The guide column 902 serves as a support and guide for the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 13 and the upper mold 8. Driven by the pressure plate 13, the guide column 902 moves vertically along the guide sleeve 901, ensuring the precise lifting and lowering of the upper mold 8 and improving the repeated positioning accuracy and processing efficiency of the mold. The support plate 903 provides support for the compression spring 904, so that the compression spring 904 can be evenly distributed around the guide column 902, providing stable buffering and reset functions. The compression spring 904 can provide buffering and reset forces during the mold closing and demolding process, helping the upper mold 8 to quickly reset, thereby improving the degree of automation and work efficiency of the mold. At the same time, the buffering effect of the compression spring 904 can also reduce the impact and vibration of the mold and extend the service life of the mold.

[0033] When in use, first, in the initial state of the mold, the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7 are in a separated state, forming an open mold cavity, ready for the mold closing operation. At this time, the compression spring 904 is in a natural state, and the guide column 902 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 901. When the mold closing operation is required, the pressing plate 13 starts to move downward by connecting with the transmission mechanism. The downward movement of the pressing plate 13 drives the guide column 902 connected thereto to move vertically downward along the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 901. Since the guide sleeve 901 provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the upper mold 8, the movement of the guide column 902 and the pressing plate 13 can ensure that the upper mold 8 moves downward stably and vertically. , and accurately close the mold with the lower mold 7. During the closing process, the pressure plate 13 provides sufficient pressure to ensure that the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 7 are tightly fitted to prevent the molten material from leaking during the injection molding process. At the same time, the support plate 903 supports the compression spring 904. As the guide column 902 moves downward, the compression spring 904 is gradually compressed and stores energy. When the shell is completely cooled and solidified, the pressure plate 13 starts to move upward, driving the guide column 902 to move vertically upward along the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 901. At this time, the compression spring 904 starts to release the stored energy and provide a reset force to help the upper mold 8 quickly reset and separate from the lower mold 7, thereby completing the demolding operation.

[0034] In summary, the overall design of the guide mechanism 9 makes the mold closing and demolding process smoother and faster, further improving the working efficiency of the mold. The guide sleeve 901 provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering of the upper mold 8, ensuring that the upper mold 8 can maintain stable vertical movement during the lifting process, avoiding deviation or tilting, thereby ensuring the accuracy of mold closing and the quality of the shell. The guide column 902 serves as a supporting and guiding structure to ensure the precise lifting and lowering of the upper mold 8, further improving the mold's repeatability accuracy and processing efficiency. The compression spring 904 provides buffering and reset force during the mold closing and demolding process, effectively reducing the impact and vibration of the mold, thereby extending the service life of the mold.
