[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, a limiting mechanism is used in a forming mold to limit the mold, facilitate the installation of the mold, and avoid shaking or deviation of the mold, wherein the mold 50 can be a built-in component for forming a workpiece 90, or it can be a lower layer of a formed workpiece for forming the upper layer of a composite workpiece. For example, when composite aluminum and titanium materials, an aluminum substrate can be formed first as a mold, and then a titanium plate can be formed on the upper layer of the aluminum substrate.

[0030] The mold 50 is located in a mold cavity formed between the upper mold core and the lower mold core 20 (the mold cavity may include an upper mold cavity formed on the upper mold core and a lower mold cavity formed on the lower mold core 20 ), specifically, is placed on the lower mold cavity formed on the lower mold core 20 .

[0031] In order to facilitate the installation of the mold 50, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the position of the mold 50 is locked by a limiting mechanism to prevent the mold 50 from moving during the molding process. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a push-pull rod 43, a mounting plate and a driving mechanism. The lower mold core 20 is provided with one or more through holes 221 distributed along the height direction of the lower mold core 20. The push-pull rod 43 is installed in the through hole 221. The driving mechanism drives the push-pull rod 43 to move downward through the mounting plate. A vacuum is formed between the push-pull rod 43 and the mold 50 so that the mold 50 fits onto the lower mold core 20.

[0032] The design of the limiting mechanism enables the mold 50 to fit more closely on the lower mold core 20. The push-pull rod 43 is driven downward by the driving mechanism, and a vacuum is formed between the push-pull rod and the mold 50, thereby achieving adsorption and fixation of the mold 50. This fixing method not only improves the stability of the mold 50, but also effectively prevents the displacement or deformation of the mold 50 during the molding process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and quality of the molded product.

[0033] Moreover, the limit mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain. The push-pull rod 43 is installed on the lower mold core through the through hole 221, and the mounting plate connects the driving mechanism and the push-pull rod 43, making the entire mechanism compact and easy to operate. This design not only reduces the complexity of the mold and reduces the manufacturing cost, but also improves the reliability and service life of the mold.

[0034] In addition, the limiting mechanism has high flexibility and adaptability. Since multiple through holes 221 are provided on the lower mold core, different numbers of push-pull rods 43 can be installed as needed to adapt to molds 50 of different sizes and shapes. This flexibility enables the limiting mechanism to be widely used in various molding molds to meet different production needs. That is, one mold 50 can correspond to one or more push-pull rods 43, and multiple molds 50 can be set in the mold cavity, and these push-pull rods 43 are all driven by a driving mechanism.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, in order to facilitate the adsorption of the mold 50, a bottom column 512 can be set at the bottom of the mold 50. By adsorbing the bottom column 512, on the one hand, the limiting is made more secure, and on the other hand, it will not affect the mold 50 itself. The workpiece 90 is formed in the inner groove 511 of the mold.

[0036] In order to facilitate the installation of the push-pull rod 43, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the push-pull rod 43 can be fixed by two mounting plates, and then the movement of the mounting plates and the push-pull rod 43 can be driven by a driving mechanism.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate includes a first mounting plate 32 and a second mounting plate 31, the first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31 are fixedly connected, the rear end of the push-pull rod 43 is located between the first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31, and the front end of the push-pull rod 43 extends into the through hole 221.

[0038] The design of using the first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31 to fix the push-pull rod 43 greatly simplifies the installation process of the push-pull rod 43. The installer can easily place the push-pull rod 43 between the two mounting plates, and the push-pull rod 43 can be stably installed through simple fixing measures. This design not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the installation difficulty, allowing the operator to complete the assembly of the mold more quickly.

[0039] Secondly, since the push-pull rod 43 is firmly fixed between the first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31, its position stability is effectively guaranteed. This stability ensures that a stable vacuum adsorption relationship can be formed between the push-pull rod 43 and the mold, so that the mold can fit tightly on the lower mold core. This not only helps to improve the quality and precision of the molded product, but also helps to reduce the scrap rate and production cost during the molding process.

[0040] Moreover, by introducing the design of the first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31, the structure of the limit mechanism is more stable. The first mounting plate 32 and the second mounting plate 31 are fixedly connected to form a stable support structure, which can effectively fix and support the push-pull rod 43, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the push-pull rod 43 during movement. This stability is of great significance for ensuring the stability of the molding die and improving product quality.

[0041] Specifically, a hollow groove can be provided on the first mounting plate 32, and the push-pull rod 43 includes a push-pull rod body 432 and a boss 433 located at the rear end of the push-pull rod, the boss 433 is fixedly connected to the push-pull rod body 432 or is integrally formed, the boss 433 is placed at the bottom of the hollow groove, and the push-pull rod body 432 passes through the hollow groove and extends into the through hole 221.

[0042] In order to prevent the push-pull rod 43 from rotating, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transverse cross-section of the boss 433 is a major arc, and a matching groove matching the shape of the boss 433 is provided at the bottom of the hollow groove, and the boss 433 is located in the matching groove.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the transverse cross-section of the boss 433 is designed to be an arc shape, which matches the shape of the matching groove set at the bottom of the hollow groove. This design makes the contact area between the boss 433 and the matching groove larger, thereby enhancing the connection stability and firmness between the two. This close matching relationship not only helps to prevent the push-pull rod 43 from loosening or displacement during operation, but also improves the reliability and stability of the entire limit mechanism.

[0044] By optimizing the shape design of the boss 433 and the matching groove, the installation process of the push-pull rod 43 is further simplified. The operator can easily align the boss 433 with the matching groove and insert it therein, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the push-pull rod 43. This design not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the error rate that may occur during the installation process.

[0045] In order to ensure that a complete vacuum is formed in the through hole 221 between the push-pull rod 43 and the mold, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 6As shown, the push-pull rod 43 also includes a square column 431 located at the front end of the push-pull rod body 432, and the through hole 221 includes a square hole portion 2212 and a round hole portion 2211, one end of the round hole portion 2211 extends to the lower end surface of the lower mold core, and the other end of the round hole portion 2211 is connected to the round hole portion 2211, and the other end of the round hole portion 2211 extends to the lower end surface of the mold.

[0046] The square column 431 at the front end of the push-pull rod 43 matches the square hole 2212 in the through hole 221. The square cross-sectional shape provides a larger contact area and better stability. Compared with a circular cross-sectional shape, a square cross-sectional shape is more resistant to lateral forces, thereby reducing the possible shaking or deviation of the push-pull rod 43 during operation and enhancing the fixing effect between the push-pull rod 43 and the mold.

[0047] The design of the perforation 221 includes a circular hole portion 2211 and a square hole portion 2212. This design not only meets the installation requirements of the push-pull rod 43, but also takes into account the need for vacuum formation. The circular hole portion 2211 extends to the lower end surface of the lower mold core, providing sufficient space for the push-pull rod 43 to move; while the square hole portion 2212 is closely matched with the square column 431 at the front end of the push-pull rod 43, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the push-pull rod 43 when it is fixed.

[0048] In addition, the other end of the circular hole 2211 extends to the lower end surface of the mold. This design enables a closer vacuum adsorption relationship to be formed between the push-pull rod 43 and the mold. When the driving mechanism drives the push-pull rod 43 to move downward, the outer side surface of the push-pull rod body 432 fits tightly with the lower end surface of the mold, and a stable vacuum adsorption structure is formed through the cooperation of the square column 431 and the square hole 2212. This structure can not only ensure the stability of the mold during the molding process, but also help to improve the quality and precision of the molded product.

[0049] The driving mechanism mainly includes a power device 41, which can be a linear motion device, such as a linear motor or a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, or a device that converts rotation into linear motion, such as a matching structure of a rotating motor and a lead screw. The utility model preferably uses a linear motion device. In this case, the front end of the telescopic rod 42 of the power device 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0050] In order to further ensure that the push-pull rod will not fail to evacuate due to deviation when the driving mechanism is running, in some embodiments, the limiting mechanism further includes a fixing plate 60, which is located at the lower side of the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the lower mold core by a fastening bolt, and a guide sleeve is provided on the mounting plate, and the guide sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the fastening bolt. The fastening bolt here can be regarded as a guide column, and the guide sleeve drives the mounting plate to move along the direction of the guide column, thereby limiting the running direction of the push-pull rod.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, a molding die includes an upper die core 10, a lower die core 20, a mold and the limiting mechanism in Embodiment 1. The upper die core 10 and the lower die core 20 constitute a die core, a front end of the die core is provided with an injection plate mounting position 80 for mounting an injection plate, and a rear end of the die core is provided with a blocking plate 70.

[0053] Among them, in order to facilitate the design or replacement of the cavity, in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the upper mold core 10 can include an upper mold core body 11 and an upper insert 12 located in the upper mold core body 11, and the lower mold core 20 can include a lower mold core body 21 and a lower insert 22 located in the lower mold core body 21. The upper mold core body 11 cooperates with the lower mold core body 21, and the upper insert 12 cooperates with the lower insert 22. The cavity is set between the upper insert 12 and the lower insert 22. There can be multiple cavities, each cavity corresponds to one or more push-pull rods cooperating therewith, and a lower cavity is set on the lower insert 22. The mold is placed in the lower cavity, and the through hole 221 is opened on the lower insert, thereby realizing the cooperation between the push-pull rod and the mold.

[0054] The lower mold body and the lower insert are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 60. Figure 6 As shown, the lower insert is provided with a mounting hole 222 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 60 , and the end of the fastening bolt passes through the mounting hole 222 to fix the fixing plate 60 and the lower insert.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation modes are only optional embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
