The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0021] The utility model provides a forming mold for a refrigerator door inner cover, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a lower die base 1; an upper die base 2 arranged above the lower die base 1; a die groove 3 arranged in the lower die base 1, a die head 4 is arranged on the side of the upper die base 2 opposite to the lower die base 1, and the die groove 3 and the die head 4 are pressed together to form a die cavity; a lifting mechanism arranged below the die cavity; and a feeding mechanism arranged outside the die cavity; wherein the lifting mechanism includes: a group of guide slide grooves 5 symmetrically arranged in the inner cavity of the lower die base 1; the same slide plate 6 sliding between the two guide slide grooves 5; a ejection cylinder 7 arranged below the slide plate 6, the output end of the ejection cylinder 7 is connected to the middle position of the bottom side of the slide plate 6; a group of springs 8 symmetrically arranged above the slide plate 6, and dampers are arranged in the two springs 8; ejector pins 9 are arranged on the side of the two springs 8 away from the slide plate 6, and an ejection through hole 10 for the ejector pins 9 to pass through is opened on the bottom side of the die groove 3.
[0022] It should be noted that, since the existing mold door cover needs to be manually removed from the mold after molding, manual operation is prone to cause inconsistencies in material size and shape due to fatigue or skill differences, thus affecting the quality and consistency of the final product. In addition, since the inner cover material of the refrigerator door is usually heavy, manual handling is not only laborious, but may also increase the risk of work-related injuries. The present solution, by setting a lifting mechanism and a feeding mechanism in conjunction with a retractable push plate 13 for loading and unloading, not only achieves rapid and accurate ejection of molded products, reduces manual operation, ensures product quality and consistency, but also improves production efficiency. At the same time, this automated process reduces the labor intensity of workers, enhances production continuity and adaptability, and significantly extends the service life of the mold, thereby achieving efficient, high-quality, and low-cost continuous production.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scheme mainly includes a lower die base 1; an upper die base 2 arranged above the lower die base 1; a die groove 3 arranged in the lower die base 1, and a die head 4 is arranged on the side of the upper die base 2 opposite to the lower die base 1, and the die groove 3 and the die head 4 are pressed together to form a mold cavity; first, the material to be formed is transmitted to the mold cavity through the feeding mechanism. At this stage, the mold groove 3 and the die head 4 have not been pressed together, and the mold cavity is in an open state so that the material can enter smoothly; then, the upper die base 2 drives the die head 4 to move downward, so that the die head 4 and the die groove 3 begin to be pressed together to form a closed mold cavity. Under the joint action of the mold groove 3 and the die head 4, the material begins to be subjected to pressure in the mold cavity and gradually Gradually formed into the shape of the refrigerator door inner cover; when the material is completely formed in the mold cavity, the lifting mechanism starts to work, and the output end of the ejection cylinder 7 pushes the slide plate 6 to move upward along the guide slide groove 5. Due to the guiding effect of the guide slide groove 5, the slide plate 6 can maintain a stable and smooth rise. During the rising process of the slide plate 6, the spring 8 and the damper play a buffering and stabilizing role to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the ejection process; as the slide plate 6 rises, the spring 8 is compressed and accumulates energy, and then drives the ejector pin 9 to move upward. The ejector pin 9 passes through the ejection through hole 10 opened on the bottom side of the mold groove 3, and ejects the formed refrigerator door inner cover from the mold cavity. At this time, the refrigerator door inner cover is separated from the mold, completing the entire molding process.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes: an assembly frame 17 arranged outside the lower die base 1; and a plurality of transmission rollers 18 rotatably arranged in the assembly frame 17, wherein the plurality of transmission rollers 18 and the assembly frame 17 are rotationally matched.
[0025] In this embodiment, the material to be formed is placed on the transmission roller 18, and the material is pushed on the transmission roller 18 for loading. The rotatable transmission roller 18 makes the material smoother during the material pushing process, which is beneficial to saving manpower and improving the loading efficiency.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a receiving plate 11 is provided on a side of the lower die base 1 away from the assembly frame 17 , an electric push rod 12 is provided on the inner side of the receiving plate 11 , and a push plate 13 is provided on the output end of the electric push rod 12 .
[0027] In this embodiment, after the material is formed and ejected from the die cavity 3, the electric push rod 12 drives the push plate 13 to fit the outer wall of the material. Then, the electric push rod 12 applies force to cause the push plate 13 to push the material onto the drive roller 18 for unloading.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 As shown, guide columns 14 are provided at the four corner positions of the upper surface of the lower die base 1, and the same machine head 15 is provided on the side of the four guide columns 14 away from the lower die base 1. The upper die base 2 is arranged at the lower position of the machine head 15 and slidingly cooperates with the four guide columns 14. A group of hydraulic cylinders 16 are provided on the side of the machine head 15 opposite to the upper die base 2, and the output ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 16 are connected to the top position of the upper die base 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, at the beginning of stamping, the hydraulic cylinder 16 is started to push the upper die base 2 to move downward along the guide column 14 until it is closed with the lower die base 1. The upper die base 2 can move vertically up and down under the guidance of the guide column 14 without deviating from the predetermined path. At this time, the material is subjected to pressure in the mold cavity of the mold and is formed according to the shape of the mold. After the stamping is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 16 operates in the reverse direction to make the upper die base 2 rise and break away from the contact with the lower die base 1.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the inner diameter of the ejection hole 10 is matched with the outer diameter of the ejector pin 9 .
[0031] In this embodiment, the ejector pin 9 is adapted to the ejection hole 10 to ensure that the ejector pin 9 can pass through the hole smoothly and remain stable during operation. This adaptability not only affects the smoothness of the movement of the ejector pin 9 in the hole, but also improves the use effect of the ejector pin 9 and the efficiency of the ejection process.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 As shown, the driving roller 18 and the lower die base 1 are at the same level.
[0033] In the present embodiment, this means that after the material is ejected from the die cavity 3, it can slide smoothly onto the driving roller 18 without the need for additional vertical or tilting movement.
[0034] Working principle: First, place the material to be formed on the transmission roller 18, and manually push the material for transmission. Through the rotation of the transmission roller 18, the material can be smoothly transferred to the mold cavity. At this time, the mold groove 3 and the die head 4 have not yet contacted, and the mold cavity remains open to ensure that the material can enter smoothly; then, the hydraulic cylinder 16 is started to push the upper mold base 2 to move vertically downward along the guide column 14 until it is tightly molded with the lower mold base 1; under the precise guidance of the guide column 14, the upper mold base 2 moves vertically without deviating from the predetermined path; after the mold is closed, the material is subjected to uniform pressure in the mold cavity and gradually formed according to the shape of the mold;
[0035] After the stamping is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 16 operates in the reverse direction to make the upper die base 2 rise and separate from the lower die base 1; at the same time, the die groove 3 and the die head 4 work together to complete the molding of the material in the mold cavity to form the shape of the refrigerator door inner cover; after the molding process is completed, the lifting mechanism starts to operate; the ejection cylinder 7 pushes the slide plate 6 to rise steadily along the guide slide groove 5. During this process, the spring 8 and the damper play a buffering and stabilizing role to ensure the accuracy and stability of the ejection process; as the slide plate 6 rises, the spring 8 is compressed and accumulates energy, and then releases energy to push the ejector pin 9 to rise. The ejector pin 9 passes through the ejection through hole 10 at the bottom of the die groove 3, and ejects the formed refrigerator door inner cover from the mold cavity, realizing the separation of the material and the mold, and completing the entire molding process;
[0036] Subsequently, the electric push rod 12 drives the push plate 13 to fit tightly to the outer wall of the material, and applies force to push the material onto the transmission roller 18 for unloading operation; this process ensures that the formed refrigerator door inner cover can be smoothly removed from the mold groove 3 and realizes efficient continuous production.
