[0034] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it 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 an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 9 , an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a casting mold for a shower tray, including an upper mold 1, a lower mold 2, and a closed frame 3. The upper mold 1 is provided with a pouring port 4, and the areas of both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are larger than the area formed by the closed frame 3. The closed frame 3 is detachably installed between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. A casting cavity is formed among the upper mold 1, the lower mold 2, and the closed frame 3, and the orthographic projection of the pouring port 4 is located within the casting cavity. Specifically, when manufacturing a shower tray, since the sizes of shower rooms of each customer are different and the positions of their drain outlets are also different, generally, a mold matching the shower tray is customized for each shower tray on the market, and then a specific material is poured into the mold to manufacture the shower tray. However, this manufacturing method is relatively cumbersome, and each mold of a specific size can only produce a shower tray of one size, and the mold has little reuse value, resulting in a relatively high manufacturing cost. Therefore, to improve the reusability of the mold and reduce the production cost, the present utility model provides a casting mold for a shower tray. The areas of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are large enough to cover the sizes of the vast majority of shower trays required on the market. When manufacturing different shower trays, it can be achieved by pouring into the casting cavity formed by the upper mold 1, the lower mold 2, and the closed frame 3.

[0036] Furthermore, the length and width of the closed frame 3 represent the length and width of the to-be-manufactured shower tray. Before pouring, the closed frame 3 is installed between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. Further, the upper mold 1 is provided with a pouring port 4, and the position of the pouring port 4 corresponds to the position of the drain pipe of the user's shower room. The staff can determine the position where the closed frame 3 needs to be placed between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 according to the relative position between the drain outlet and the shower room, and then pour a specific material from the pouring port 4 to form the shower tray. When a special casting mold is customized for the shower tray, the cost is relatively high. However, with the mold of the present utility model that can cover the sizes of the vast majority of shower trays on the market, the manufacturer only needs to customize the closed frame 3, saving materials and reducing the production cost.

[0037] In this embodiment, the closed - type frame 3 is connected to the upper mold 1 through a clamping member. Specifically, a shower tray usually needs to have certain waterproof and drainage properties. Therefore, the lower part of the shower tray is usually a hollow structure. During pouring, since pouring is carried out inward from the pouring port 4 of the upper mold 1, there may be residual pouring material at the pouring port 4. To ensure aesthetics, the upper mold 1 is usually used as the lower part of the shower tray after pouring. In addition, to ensure drainage performance, the lower part of the shower tray is usually a hollow structure (such as a honeycomb - like or grid - like structure). There are many gaps between the regular shapes of the hollow structures. To ensure that the pouring material does not flow out between the closed - type frame 3 and the upper mold 1, the closed - type frame 3 and the upper mold 1 are connected through a clamping member.

[0038] Further, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the clamping member includes a first fixing portion 301 provided on the closed - type frame 3 and an installation groove 101 provided under the upper mold 1. The first fixing portion 301 is clamped in the installation groove 101 to enable the closed - type frame 3 and the upper mold 1 to be clamped and connected. Specifically, the first fixing portion 301 is snapped into the installation groove 101 to achieve a sealing effect and prevent the pouring material from flowing out, resulting in a better finished product effect.

[0039] Further, the shape formed by the installation groove 101 includes but is not limited to honeycomb - like and grid - like shapes. Specifically, since a drainage pipe needs to be connected to the lower part of the shower tray, the lower part of the shower tray should be set as a honeycomb or grid - like hollow structure, which can effectively avoid water accumulation. Correspondingly, an installation groove 101 is provided on the side of the upper mold 1 close to the closed - type frame 3, and the installation groove 101 forms a honeycomb or grid - like shape. After pouring, a hollow structure with a honeycomb or grid structure can be formed to drain water, and it can also effectively save materials and reduce the weight of the shower tray.

[0040] Further, the lower mold 2 is printed with an anti - slip pattern template 201, and the closed - type frame 3 is provided with a second clamping portion 302 that matches the anti - slip pattern template 201. Specifically, when the pouring material is poured inward from the pouring port 4 of the upper mold 1, the pouring material fills downward under the influence of gravity. The lower mold 2 located below usually has a better and more sufficient pouring effect. Therefore, the finished product poured by the lower mold 2 is used for the upper side of the shower tray, that is, the side that the user contacts. A shower tray usually needs to be provided with upward - protruding anti - slip patterns to prevent the user from slipping. Therefore, the anti - slip pattern template 201 of the lower mold 2 is printed with the shape of the corresponding anti - slip pattern. To enable the closed - type outer frame 3 to better fit the lower mold 2, the lower part of the closed - type frame 3 is printed with a second clamping portion 302 that matches the shape of the anti - slip pattern template 201. Further, the anti - slip pattern template 201 includes but is not limited to regular patterns with decorative effects such as wavy and striped shapes.

[0041] In this embodiment, the material of the closed - type frame 3 includes but is not limited to silicone. The closed - type frame 3 made of silicone has a relatively low production cost, is easy to manufacture, and has a certain elasticity, ensuring the sealing effect between the closed - type frame 3 and the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the materials of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 include but are not limited to fiberglass and silicone. Specifically, the mold made of fiberglass has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, and easy demolding, and can be subjected to fine surface treatment to improve the durability of the mold and the product quality; the mold made of silicone has the characteristics of easy stretching, a wide temperature resistance range, easy demolding, and low cost, and is suitable for manufacturing small or special parts with complex surface structures.

[0043] The working process of a shower tray casting mold of the present utility model is as follows: The staff measures the length and width of the shower room in the user's home and records the position of the drain hole to determine the size of the shower tray to be made. The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are large enough to cover the sizes of common shower trays on the market. The staff customizes the closed - type frame 3 through corresponding equipment according to the measured length and width of the shower room. Among them, for the lower mold 1, since the position of the pouring port 4 is fixed, and the position where the closed - type frame 3 is placed relative to the pouring port 4 determines the position of the drain hole of the shower tray. Therefore, the staff needs to place the closed - type frame 3 according to the relative position of the drain hole. Furthermore, above the closed - type frame 3, a first fixing part 301 matching the installation groove 101 needs to be customized and installed according to the specific placement position. Similarly, due to the different specific placement positions of the closed - type frame 3, the corresponding second engaging part 302 needs to be made by using the equipment for custom - producing the closed - type frame 3 according to the position relative to the lower mold 2 and the anti - slip pattern template 201.

[0044] Before pouring, the closed - type frame 3 is installed between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. The first fixing part 301 and the second engaging part 302 are respectively matched with the installation groove 101 and the anti - slip pattern template 201 to ensure the tight connection between the closed - type frame 3 and the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. After covering the upper mold 1, materials are poured into the mold through the pouring port 4. Among them, since the material of the shower tray is usually acrylic artificial stone, generally a mixture of acrylic resin and stone particles is poured into the mold. After the poured materials are formed, the upper mold 1 is removed, and the formed shower tray is taken out from the lower mold 2.

[0045] Among them, the closed - type border 3 needs to be customized according to the relative positions of the closed - type border 3 with respect to the pouring port 4 of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. The staff first determine the installation position of the closed - type border 3 and use methods such as laser engraving or die - casting to produce a closed - type border 3 that matches the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. Compared with the prior art where a pouring mold is specially made for each shower tray, in the present utility model, only the corresponding closed - type border 3 needs to be customized for each shower tray. Coupled with the fact that the closed - type border 3 is made of silicone material, the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0046] After pouring, the mold is removed, and there may be traces of pouring material overflow at the position where the pouring port 4 is located. Since the position of the pouring port 4 corresponds to the drain hole of the shower tray, the staff can further trim the formed shower tray by trimming the pouring port 4.

[0047] In addition, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the finished product 5 of the shower tray. After removing the mold and taking out the formed shower tray, the staff can further cut out a frame 6 that matches the four - week of the shower tray and install it around the shower tray. The frame 6 is usually connected to the wall. The frame 6 seals the four - week of the finished product 5 of the shower tray to prevent accumulated water from flowing into the four - week of the shower room, so as to ensure that the waste water of the shower tray flows out through the drain hole.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
