Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mold accessories, in particular to a lower mold limiting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of IMG (In Mold GRAINING) process, the mold needs to be opened and closed periodically in the vertical direction. However, when the mold is opened, only the upper mold rises, and the lower mold must remain on the machine base. In order to prevent the lower mold from being lifted up by the upper mold when the mold is opened, a fixed mechanical limit hook is set. In order to facilitate the placement of parts, the lower mold is also set to lift up (vertical stroke of about 45mm), move out (horizontal stroke of about 2200mm), move in, and fall. There must be a gap of about 60-100mm between the limit hook and the bottom plate of the lower mold in the vertical direction to ensure that the lower mold has enough space to lift up. However, due to the existence of the gap, the limit hook cannot really limit the lower mold on the bottom plate of the machine, and the limiting and protection effect of the lower mold is not particularly ideal. In abnormal situations, the lower mold will still be lifted up. When the lower mold is lifted up to a height that contacts the limit hook, the lower mold will be forced to separate from the upper mold and fall freely to the bottom plate of the machine. The state of the lower mold after falling is also unpredictable, which causes great damage to the mold. In addition, when dealing with this kind of abnormality, personnel need to enter the press, which poses a great threat to safety.

[0037] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. The specific dimensions used in this embodiment are only for illustrating the technical solution and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] refer to Figure 1-10 As shown, a lower mold limiting mechanism includes a driving member 1 and a limiting member 2. The driving member 1 is installed on a machine base 100, and the limiting member 2 is located on one side of the lower mold bottom plate 200.

[0041] The limiting member 2 is movably connected to the machine base 100 , the driving end of the driving member 1 is connected to one end of the limiting member 2 , the driving member 1 is used to drive the limiting member 2 to move, and a gap is left between the bottom of the other end of the limiting member 2 and the upper end of the lower mold bottom plate 200 .

[0042] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the lower mold 300 is located on the machine base 100. The mold needs to be opened and closed periodically in the vertical direction. However, when the mold is opened, only the upper mold is not shown to rise in the figure. The lower mold 300 must remain on the machine base 100. In order to prevent the lower mold 300 from being lifted by the upper mold when the mold is opened, the lower mold limiting mechanism of the present application is adopted.

[0043] Specifically, the driving member 1 provided on the machine base 100 and the limiting member 2 movably connected to the machine base 100 are used as reference before the mold is opened. Fig.10 As shown, the driving member 1 drives the limiting member 2 to move a certain stroke toward the lower mold 300 and move it to above the end of the lower mold bottom plate 200. Then, the limiting member 2 can limit the lower mold bottom plate 200 when the mold is opened, thereby limiting the lower mold 300 to prevent the lower mold 300 from being lifted by the upper mold when the mold is opened. In addition, the limiting member 2 is used to limit the lower mold bottom plate 200, which can reduce the impact on the lower mold 300. It should be noted that when there is a lower mold of other prior art, the bottom of the limiting member 2 can also be set above other parts of the lower mold to achieve the limitation of the lower mold. Fig.11As shown, when the upper mold is raised to a certain height and it is confirmed that the upper and lower molds are truly safely separated, after the mold opening is completed, the driving member 1 drives the limiting member 2 away from the lower mold bottom plate 200, so that the lower mold 300 is in a released state and is no longer limited, and does not affect the subsequent lifting and removal actions of the lower mold.

[0044] When the bottom of the limit member 2 of the present application is located above the lower mold base plate 200, a gap is left with the lower mold base plate 200. The purpose is: when the mold is closed, in order to ensure a uniform gap within the mold, the lower mold 300 automatically completes the position correction under the action of the upper mold guide column to achieve precise alignment with the upper mold. Therefore, a gap is left between the limit member 2 and the lower mold base plate 200 to prevent the contact with the lower mold base plate 200 to limit the position of the lower mold 300 and automatically correct the deviation, so as to prevent the lower mold base plate 200 from being stuck, resulting in strain on the upper mold guide column or even damage to the mold.

[0045] In a further embodiment, the driving member 1 adopts a telescopic device such as a telescopic cylinder, an electric telescopic rod, etc.

[0046] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Fig.10 As shown, the height of the gap is 1 mm; this can of course be adjusted according to the specifications of the mold.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the limiting member 2 includes a sliding seat 201 and a limiting insert 202. The lower end of the sliding seat 201 is slidably connected to the machine base 100.

[0049] The limiting insert 202 is installed on one side of the sliding seat 201 close to the lower mold bottom plate 200 , and the other side of the sliding seat 201 is connected to the driving end of the driving member 1 . A gap is left between the lower end of the limiting insert 202 and the upper end of the lower mold bottom plate 200 .

[0050] When the driving member 1 drives the limiting member 2 to move, specifically, the driving end of the driving member 1 pushes the lower end of the sliding seat 201 to slide relative to the machine base 100, thereby driving the limiting insert 202 to move above the lower mold bottom plate 200 to limit the lower mold bottom plate 200; similarly, the limiting member 2 drives the sliding seat 201 and the limiting insert 202 away from the lower mold bottom plate 200, and no longer plays a limiting role on the lower mold 300.

[0051] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2-5 As shown, the limit insert 202 includes a fixed limit insert 2021 and a replaceable limit insert 2022. The fixed limit insert 2021 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 201, the upper end of the replaceable limit insert 2022 is movably connected to the fixed limit insert 2021, and a gap is left between the lower end of the replaceable limit insert 2022 and the upper end of the lower mold base plate 200.

[0052] The position of the limit insert 202 is located by fixing the limit insert 2021 and the sliding seat 201, and then the lower mold base plate 200 is limited in combination with the replaceable limit insert 2022; and the replaceable limit insert 2022 can be manufactured in different heights to adapt to different mold sizes to ensure the gap between the lower end of the replaceable limit insert 2022 and the upper end of the lower mold base plate 200, such as the replaceable limit insert 2022 with a height of 20mm, 25mm or 30mm.

[0053] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 As shown, a wedge-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the fixed limiting insert 2021, and a wedge-shaped block adapted to the wedge-shaped groove is installed at the upper end of the replaceable limiting insert 2022. Through the wedge-shaped fit, the fit accuracy and reliability are increased.

[0054] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2-8 As shown, the machine base 100 is provided with a strip through groove 3, and the lower end of the sliding seat 201 is slidably connected to the strip through groove 4 through an inverted T-shaped slider 2011. The inverted T-shaped slider 2011 is adapted to the strip through groove 3 for sliding, and the bottom of the inverted T-shaped slider 2011 is located below the strip through groove 4, which plays the effect of clamping the machine base 100 with the sliding seat 201 for movement, and the sliding is more stable.

[0055] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2-8 As shown, the machine base 100 is provided with a circular through hole 4 connected to the strip through groove 3, and the diameter of the circular through hole 4 is larger than the length of the inverted T-shaped slider 2011. The circular through hole 4 is provided to facilitate the inverted T-shaped slider 2011 to be inserted into the circular through hole 4 and then moved into the strip through groove 3 for connection, so as to facilitate the replacement of the damaged sliding seat 201.

[0056] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2-7 As shown, a vertical slide groove 2012 is provided on one side of the sliding seat 201 close to the driving member 1, and a connecting block 5 is installed on the driving end of the driving member 1. The connecting block 5 is slidably connected to the vertical slide groove 2012, and the connecting block 5 is adapted to the vertical slide groove 2012. During installation, the vertical slide groove 2012 on the back side of the sliding seat 201 is aligned with the connecting block 5, and then moved downward to a fixed position, and the connecting block 5 is connected to the vertical slide groove 2012 to realize the connection between the sliding seat 201 and the driving end of the driving member 1, so that the sliding seat 201 can be replaced when it is damaged, or a sliding seat 201 of different specifications can be replaced.

[0057] In a further embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, the fixed end of the driving member 1 is fixedly connected to the machine base 100 via a fixing plate 6 to reinforce the fixed end of the driving member 1 .

[0058] Embodiment 3:

[0059] On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, a control system is also included, which includes a limit state detector, a controller and a touch display screen. The controller is electrically connected to the limit state detector, the touch display screen and the drive member 1 respectively. The limit state detector is used to detect whether the drive member 1 is extended or retracted, and the controller is used to control the operation of the drive member 1.

[0060] The limit state detector is used to detect whether the driving member 1 is extended. If it is extended, it means that the limit member 2 is driven to the top of the lower mold bottom plate 200, completing the limit of the lower mold 300. If it is in a retracted state, the lower mold 300 is not limited. The detection information is transmitted to the controller, and the information is transmitted to the touch screen for display. According to the processing process, the control signal can be input to the controller through the touch screen, and the controller controls the driving member 1 to operate, so as to extend or retract, to change the position of the limit member 2, and limit or not limit the lower mold 300; it can also be coordinated with the action sequence of the process production, and automatically controlled, so that the lower mold protection mechanism limits and releases the lower mold according to the required time period. It should be noted that the limit state detector, controller and touch screen can adopt the existing technology devices, which can achieve the above effects.

[0061] Embodiment 4:

[0062] refer to Fig.11 As shown, according to the design of the lower mold base plate 200 to avoid air, four lower mold limiting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged. In addition to being used together, they can also be defined as a group of two diagonally located ones according to actual needs; for example, the upper left corner and the lower right corner are a group to achieve limit protection during the production of mold A. During the production of mold A, this group of lower mold limiting mechanisms performs limit protection on the lower mold; the other diagonally located group, a group at the lower left corner and the upper right corner, are used for limit protection during the production of mold B with a specification different from that of mold A. They are controlled by a grouped control system, which not only ensures the protection effect of the lower mold limit, but also improves the production flexibility of the lower mold limiting mechanism.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
