[0037] Bicycle PU molding mold is a special mold used to produce bicycle parts, usually made of polyurethane (PU) material. This mold is precisely designed to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of bicycle parts. PU material is widely used in the production of bicycle tires, saddles, handlebars and other parts due to its excellent elasticity, wear resistance and impact resistance. Using PU molding molds can improve production efficiency and reduce manual operations while ensuring consistent product quality and performance. In addition, the PU molding process also has good environmental characteristics because it can reduce material waste and reduce energy consumption in the production process.

[0038] In the related art, the PU mold includes an upper mold and a lower mold, and the mold is usually opened manually. The operator will use the leverage of the crowbar, insert it between the upper mold and the lower mold, and apply force to pry half or more of the upper mold to separate it from the lower mold, thereby taking out the molded PU product.

[0039] However, the above manual mold opening method is inefficient, and the crowbar is likely to cause damage to the mold when opening the mold.

[0040] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an automatic mold opening device and a bicycle mold, aiming to provide an automatic mold opening device that is more efficient in mold opening and does not damage the mold structure. Figures 1 to 7 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the automatic mold opening device provided by the present invention.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The utility model proposes an automatic mold opening device, including a frame 1, a mold 2 and a driving mechanism 3. The mold 2 includes a lower mold 22 arranged on the frame 1 and an upper mold 21 hinged to the lower mold 22 through a hinge 23. The lower mold 22 is arranged on the frame 1, and the upper mold 21 is arranged on the side of the lower mold 22 facing away from the frame 1. The driving mechanism 3 includes a driving member 31 and a lifting rod 32. The driving member 31 is arranged on the frame 1. One end of the lifting rod 32 is connected to the driving end of the driving member 31, and the other end is movably connected to the upper mold 21. The driving member 31 is used to drive the lifting rod 32 to lift to open the upper mold 21.

[0042] In the technical scheme of the utility model, an automatic mold opening device and a bicycle mold 2 are proposed, wherein the automatic mold opening device includes a frame 1, a mold 2 and a driving mechanism 3, the mold 2 includes a lower mold 22 arranged on the frame 1 and an upper mold 21 hinged on the lower mold 22 through a hinge 23, the driving mechanism 3 includes a driving member 31 and a lifting rod 32, the driving member 31 is arranged on the frame 1, one end of the lifting rod 32 is connected to the driving end of the driving member 31 and the other end is connected to the upper mold 21, when the driving member 31 drives the lifting rod 32 to rise, the lifting rod 32 will lift the upper mold 21, one end of the upper mold 21 is hinged to the lower mold 22, and the upper mold 21 will rotate along the hinge 23, at this time the mold 2 is opened, the operator can take out the formed bicycle parts, the driving member 31 is driven in reverse to control the mold 2 to close, the above technical scheme can be adopted to realize automatic mold opening and closing, improve the work production efficiency, and avoid the use of a crowbar to open the mold to cause damage to the mold 2.

[0043] In one embodiment of the utility model, the driving member 31 is a motor, the driving end of the motor is provided with a gear 41, and the circumference of the lifting rod 32 is provided with teeth 321a, the gear 41 is meshed with the teeth 321a of the lifting rod 32, and the gear 41 transmission can provide precise control to ensure that the lifting movement of the lifting rod 32 is smooth and predictable. Secondly, the serrated lifting rod 32 design increases the contact area and friction force of the meshing with the gear 41, improves the transmission efficiency and stability, and prevents slipping during the lifting process. In addition, the combination of the gear 41 and the lifting rod 32 can achieve a large torque transmission, so that the lifting mechanism can carry a heavier load. At the same time, this design is also convenient for realizing automatic control. Through the speed and direction control of the motor, the lifting speed and position can be accurately adjusted to meet the needs of different application scenarios. Finally, the gear 41 transmission system driven by the motor is easy to maintain and durable, which helps to reduce long-term operating costs. Furthermore, a reducer can be connected to the drive end of the motor, and the kinetic energy can be output through the reducer. The reducer can significantly reduce the speed of the motor and increase the output torque, which is very beneficial for application scenarios that require large torque but do not require high speed. Secondly, by reducing speed and increasing torque, the motor can operate at a lower speed, which helps to reduce mechanical wear and extend the life of the equipment. In addition, the use of a reducer can also improve the stability and accuracy of the system, because the output after deceleration is smoother, which helps to achieve precise control. Finally, the use of a reducer can reduce the requirements for motor performance, allowing the use of lower-cost and smaller motors, thereby bringing advantages in design and economy.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present invention, the driving member 31 is a cylinder 311. For details, please refer to Figure 1The cylinder 311 body is fixed on the lower mounting plate (not marked in the figure) of the frame 1. The driving mechanism 3 also includes a transmission rod 4. A gear 41 is provided at the end of the transmission rod 4. The circumference of the lifting rod 32 is provided with teeth 321a. The gear 41 and the teeth 321a of the lifting rod 32 are meshed. When the cylinder 311 pushes the rack 33 to move, the rack 33 will drive the driving wheel 42 meshed with it. The driving wheel 42 keeps coaxial rotation with the transmission rod 4. The rotation of the transmission rod 4 drives the gear 41 at the end of the transmission rod 4 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting rod 32 to rise and fall. The driving structure using the combination of the cylinder 311 and the rack 33 has the characteristics of simple structure, easy maintenance, installation and disassembly, and reliability. It should be noted that a greater lifting force can also be obtained by changing the gear ratio of the driving wheel 42 and the gear 41.

[0045] Since the rack 33 is subject to the resistance of the driving wheel 42 when it moves, its movement direction deviates from the predetermined direction, and assuming that there is a guide portion 11, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The guide portion 11 is formed with a guide hole 111 and a guide groove 112. The driving end of the cylinder 311 is movably inserted into the guide hole 111 and connected to the rack 33. The guide hole 111 and the guide groove 112 are arranged opposite to each other, and the rack 33 is slidably limited in the guide groove 112. The guide portion 11 is also symmetrically provided with two mounting holes 113 for mounting the transmission rod 4. The transmission rod 4 is rotatably mounted in the two mounting holes 113.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure that the upper mold 21 is subjected to a uniform mold opening force, gears 41 are provided at both ends of the transmission rod 4. For details, please refer to Figure 6 The automatic mold opening device is provided with two lifting rods 32, and the two lifting rods 32 are respectively meshed with two gears 41. Uniform force can reduce local stress concentration and avoid damage or deformation of the mold 2 due to uneven force, thereby extending the service life of the mold 2. Secondly, uniform force distribution helps to reduce vibration and noise during the lifting process and improve the stability of the production process. In addition, uniform force helps to maintain the precise alignment of the mold 2 and ensure the dimensional accuracy and quality consistency of the molded product 1000. At the same time, the symmetrical lifting design simplifies the mechanical structure, facilitates automatic control, and improves production efficiency. Finally, uniform force can also help reduce safety hazards during operation and improve the safety of operation.

[0047] In the technical solution of the present utility model, the lifting rod 32 includes a sleeve 322 and a gear rod 321. For details, please refer to Figure 5One end of the sleeve 322 contacts the ground, and the other end forms an opening. The sleeve 322 is provided with a notch 322a along the circumference, and the sleeve 322 forms a piston cavity. The gear rod 321 is movable in the piston cavity. The gear rod 321 is provided with teeth 321a along the circumference, and the teeth 321a are exposed at the notch 322a. The gear 41 drives the internal gear rod 321 to move up and down through the notch 322a.

[0048] When the lifting rod 32 lifts the upper mold 21, since the outer dimensions of the upper mold 21 are fixed, when the upper mold 21 is opened relative to the lower mold 22, the lower mold 22 and the lifting rod 32 form two right-angled sides of a triangle, and the upper mold 21 forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. The projection of the movable end of the upper mold 21 on the lower mold 22 obviously does not coincide with the end of the lower mold 22. This requires a certain movable gap between the lifting rod 32 and the upper mold 21 to prevent the lifting rod 32 from being subjected to a large lateral force. In view of this, a rotating seat 51 is provided at the movable end of the upper mold 21, and a plug-in connector 52 is provided on the rotating seat 51. For details, please refer to Figure 4 A plug-in groove 521 is provided on the side of the connector 52 facing away from the hinge 23, and the lifting rod 32 is provided with a second connecting portion 6, which includes a latch 61. The latch 61 is movably inserted in the plug-in groove 521 and can be detached from the bottom of the plug-in groove 521 and move in a small range within the plug-in groove 521, thereby preventing the lifting rod 32 from being subjected to large lateral force.

[0049] In order to ensure that the clamping force during molding is sufficient, the automatic mold opening device also includes a locking device 7. For details, please refer to Figure 5 The locking device 7 includes a locking protrusion 71 and a rotatably arranged locking portion 72, the locking portion 72 is formed with a locking groove 721, one of the locking protrusion 71 and the locking groove 721 is arranged on the upper mold 21, and the other is arranged on the lower mold 22. When the mold 2 is closed, the locking device 7 is locked, thereby improving the sealing of the internal cavity, and before opening the mold, it only needs to rotate the locking portion 72 to achieve unlocking.

[0050] The utility model also proposes a bicycle mold 2, which includes an automatic mold opening device. The specific structure of the automatic mold opening device refers to the above embodiment. Since the bicycle mold 2 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0051] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
