[0046] The utility model provides a universal connection device for connecting a mold and equipment, which is used in a mold installation process. The utility model does not limit the size of the mold, but the structure of the universal connection device for connecting a mold and equipment is particularly suitable for adapting to a variety of machine models.

[0047] In general, the universal connection device for connecting the mold and the equipment proposed in the utility model mainly includes a universal connector 4, a fixed equipment connection plate 2 and a moving equipment connection plate 8. Figure 1 , which shows the arrangement relationship among the universal connector 4, the fixed device connection board 2 and the dynamic device connection board 8.

[0048] In order to achieve the purpose of adapting the mold to a variety of machine models with a universal connecting device, the fixing device for metal molds and production equipment in the background technology is called mold feet. Usually, special mold feet are made for the mold according to the specified equipment model. If other equipment with different connection sizes is replaced, the mold feet must be redesigned and installed on the corresponding equipment for production. Therefore, especially when producing molds from other customers, since there are often no connection size drawings, it is necessary to measure the mold size on site, which is very inconvenient, and sometimes it is necessary to change and destroy the original structure of the mold before installation. Once some customers need to produce on multiple equipment, it is even more troublesome, which directly leads to the need to make multiple sets of mold feet, which increases costs and reduces production efficiency.

[0049] To this end, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a universal connector 4 is installed on the upper and lower corners of the mold 1 by bolts to form an extended structure extending out of the mold 1, and then a fixed device connecting plate 2 and a moving device connecting plate 8 are respectively installed on the universal connector 4 above and below the mold 1 and on the end away from the mold 1 to achieve connection with the equipment.

[0050] Specifically, Figure 5-7 As shown, the universal connector 4 is arranged in a Z-shaped structure, including a first horizontal end 41, a vertical end 42 and a second horizontal end 43 which are arranged in sequence, wherein the first horizontal end 41 and the second horizontal end 43 are respectively located in opposite directions of the vertical end 42.

[0051] When in use, the No. 1 horizontal end 41 is placed against the surface of the fixed equipment connecting plate 2 and the movable equipment connecting plate 8 close to the mold 1, and the connecting groove 44 provided on the No. 1 horizontal end 41 is used to pass the equipment connecting bolt 3 to connect with the fixed equipment connecting plate 2 and the movable equipment connecting plate 8 for fastening. In addition, the opening direction of the equipment connecting groove 44 is located on the end of the universal connector 4 away from the mold 1, which can achieve the effect of conveniently introducing the equipment connecting bolt 3; similarly, a through hole 45 is provided on the No. 2 horizontal end 43, and the mold connecting bolt 7 is passed through the through hole 45 to achieve connection with the mold 1. In addition, the through hole 45 is arranged in a long strip structure, and a pair of them are symmetrically arranged, which is convenient for the mold 1 to adjust the installation position in the through hole 45 through the mold connecting bolt 7, thereby eliminating the size restriction of the mold 1 and improving adaptability. At the same time, the connection between the No. 2 horizontal end 43 and the vertical end 42 is achieved through a reinforcing rib 46 between the pair of through holes 45.

[0052] On this basis, at least one side of the vertical end 42 extends integrally toward the direction of the second horizontal end 43 to form a limit plate 47, and a limit adjustment bolt 6 passes through the limit plate 47 and is set on the side of the mold 1. The purpose is to use the limit adjustment bolt 6 to fix the lateral distance of the mold 1, and to be flush with the end of the universal connector 4 away from the limit plate 47 to play a positioning role; the preferred length of the limit plate 47 is greater than the thickness of the connecting plate of the mold 1, which can play a protective role.

[0053] As mentioned above, the fixed device connecting plate 2 and the moving device connecting plate 8 are used as a bridge between the device and the mold 1. To obtain a stable connection with the mold 1 and not be limited by the size of the mold 1, as much as possible, a variety of effects are achieved. On the one hand, a connecting plate connecting groove 10 is also provided in the moving device connecting plate 8 along a direction parallel to the device connecting groove 44, which is respectively arranged on both sides, and the device connecting bolt 3 can be conveniently inserted. A moving device connecting long hole 11 is also provided between a pair of connecting plate connecting grooves 10. Although it is also used to insert the device connecting bolt 3, it limits the outermost length of its connection, thus avoiding the structural connection beyond the range and ensuring the stability of the universal connecting device. Similarly, when it comes to the fixed device connecting plate 2, a fixed device connecting long hole 13 is also provided in it along a direction parallel to the device connecting groove 44, which has the same function as above, but its flexibility is not as good as the connecting plate connecting groove 10, but it is convenient for limiting.

[0054] On the other hand, on the side close to the moving device connection long hole 11, a moving plate positioning key 9 is provided on the side of the moving device connecting plate 8 close to the mold 1. Similarly, on the side close to the fixed device connection long hole 13 located in the middle, a fixed plate positioning key 5 is provided on the side of the fixed device connecting plate 2 close to the mold 1. Correspondingly, a sliding groove 12 for sliding into the fixed plate positioning key 5 and the moving plate positioning key 9 is provided on the number one horizontal end 41, which can further limit the positioning and installation between the universal connector 4 and the fixed device connecting plate 2 and the moving device connecting plate 8, thereby improving the installation efficiency and accuracy. In addition, the length of the fixed plate positioning key 5 is not greater than that of the moving plate positioning key 9, so as to facilitate the distinction between the fixed plate and the moving plate.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
