[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model proposes an automatic mold opening liquid cooling mold, including an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. In actual application, the lower mold 2 is placed on a platform, and a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the upper part, and its piston rod can be fixedly connected with the upper mold 1 to drive the upper mold 1 to rise and fall to complete mold opening and closing. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described here.
[0029] In this embodiment, the open mold liquid cooling mold includes a delivery pipe 3 connected to the coolant flow cavity of the lower mold 2, a temperature sensor 4 installed at the connection between the delivery pipe 3 and the flow cavity to sense the temperature of the coolant, an anti-scalding sheath 5 sleeved on the outside of the delivery pipe 3 for anti-scalding protection, and a connecting component 6 to prevent the end of the anti-scalding sheath 5 from slipping off, which are specifically as follows:
[0030] The temperature sensor 4 is a commonly used device. When installing, it is only necessary to ensure that its probe is in contact with the delivery pipe 3. The shape shown in the figure is only one of the connection methods. The temperature sensor 4 can be connected to the controller of the cylinder through a wire. The temperature sensor 4 senses the temperature change of the coolant in the delivery pipe 3, thereby controlling the operation of the cylinder. The combination of the sensor and the cylinder is very common, and its principle is not described here. In this embodiment, a pair of delivery pipes 3 are provided, one of which is connected to the outlet of the coolant flow cavity of the lower mold 2 as shown in the figure, that is, the liquid outlet pipe; the other should be connected to the inlet of the coolant flow cavity of the lower mold 2, that is, the liquid inlet pipe, which is not shown in the figure. The two delivery pipes 3 are externally connected to a coolant circulation delivery device, such as a combination of a delivery box and a delivery pump, etc. This type of equipment is a common means in the cooling field. As the workpiece in the mold is slowly cooled and formed, the heat absorbed by the coolant discharged by the liquid outlet pipe is getting lower and lower, and its temperature will gradually decrease. Therefore, the cooling and forming progress of the workpiece in the mold can be judged by sensing the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe. No matter what kind of workpiece is replaced, no matter how different its molding time is, its temperature will be close to the natural temperature of the coolant when the molding is completed. This can solve the problem of frequently setting the cylinder operation mode due to the different mold opening times caused by the production of different workpieces.
[0031] The anti-scalding sheath 5 comprises an inner sheath 51 attached to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 3, an outer sheath 52 located on the outer circle of the inner sheath 51, and a plurality of support columns 53 between the inner sheath 51 and the outer sheath 52 for supporting and insulating. The anti-scalding sheath 5 is provided with an unfolding groove 5a for easy disassembly and assembly on the conveying pipe 3 after unfolding. When the anti-scalding sheath 5 is made of elastic rubber, the anti-scalding sheath 5 can be opened along the unfolding groove 5a, and after being put on the outside of the conveying pipe 3, it is covered on the outer wall of the conveying pipe 3 by elastic reset ability.
[0032] The connecting assembly 6 includes a fixing member 61 fixedly connected to the lower mold 2 and two limiting blocks 62 fixed to the outer wall of the anti-scalding sheath 5 near the expansion groove 5a. The fixing member 61 includes a fixing ring 611, a fixing arm 612 fixedly connected to the fixing ring 611 at one end and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower mold 2 at the other end by bolts, and a pair of limiting clamps 613 provided on the inner ring surface of the fixing ring 611. The two limiting clamps 613 squeeze and limit the two limiting blocks 62. The connecting assembly 6 also includes a limiting ring 63 rotatably sleeved with the fixing ring 611, and the inner ring surface of the limiting ring 63 is provided with a blocking protrusion 631 for blocking the limiting block 62 between the two limiting clamps 613. One end of the fixing ring 611 is provided with an external threaded portion, and the inner ring surface of the limiting ring 63 is provided with an internal threaded portion matching the external threaded portion.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: by adding a temperature sensor 4 at the delivery pipe 3, the molding progress of the workpiece in the mold can be known by sensing the temperature change of the coolant in the temperature sensor 4. When it is combined with the operation of the cylinder, it can be achieved that when the preset temperature change value is sensed, the cylinder can be controlled to automatically operate to complete the mold opening. Specifically, as the workpiece in the mold is slowly cooled and formed, the heat absorbed by the coolant discharged from the delivery pipe 3 (liquid outlet pipe) becomes lower and lower, and its temperature will gradually decrease. Therefore, by sensing the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe, the cooling molding progress of the workpiece in the mold can be judged. No matter what kind of workpiece is replaced, no matter how different its molding time is, its temperature will be close to the natural temperature of the coolant at the end of molding, thereby solving the problem of frequently setting the cylinder operation mode caused by the different mold opening times brought about by the production of different workpieces.
[0034] In addition, by adding an anti-scalding sheath 5 on the outside of the delivery pipe 3, it is possible to prevent the heat transferred from the delivery pipe 3 from causing burns to personnel. And through the special structural design of the anti-scalding sheath 5, it can be quickly disassembled from the delivery pipe 3, and the end of the anti-scalding sheath 5 can be limited by the design of the connecting component 6 to ensure its stable installation on the delivery pipe 3;
[0035] Taking installation as an example, the fixed arm 612 is fixed to the outer wall of the lower mold 2 by bolts, and the anti-scalding sheath 5 is opened along the expansion groove 5a and then covered on the outside of the conveying pipe 3. The anti-scalding sheath 5 can automatically cover the outside of the conveying pipe 3 through its own elastic recovery characteristics. Then, the end of the anti-scalding sheath 5 is inserted into the groove of the fixing ring 611, and the two limit blocks 62 are squeezed into the two limit clamps 613 to form a friction limit. Then, the limit ring 63 is rotated, and the position of the stop 631 is changed by the spiral sleeve connection between the limit ring 63 and the fixing ring 611 until it is blocked at the limit block 62 to prevent the limit block 62 from coming out from between the two limit clamps 613, and the end of the anti-scalding sheath 5 is fixed.
[0036] The above-mentioned specific embodiments are only several optional embodiments of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant inspiration of the above-mentioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above-mentioned specific embodiments.
