[0002] When forming composite material parts, molds are generally required. Different product molds are generally equipped with core molds of different shapes and sizes. Therefore, when laying different products, different types of core molds need to be replaced. The material of the core mold is generally ordinary steel / aluminum alloy material, etc. Therefore, for a relatively large core mold, its weight is relatively large, and when replacing, a special transfer tooling is generally required to transfer the core mold. At this time, if there are many product models, there will be many types of core molds to be transferred, and thus the types of corresponding transfer support toolings required are also relatively many, which greatly increases the production cost of composite materials.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a general core mold support tool for composite material forming, including a first support frame, a second support frame, and two sets of fixing components;

[0033] The first support frame includes a first vertical support member 1 and a first horizontal connecting member 2 that are perpendicularly connected together. The first horizontal connecting member 2 is a square tube structure, and a plurality of main limiting holes 3 are provided on the first horizontal connecting member 2. The plurality of main limiting holes 3 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the first horizontal connecting member 1. The second support frame includes a second vertical support member 4 and a second horizontal connecting member 5 that are perpendicularly connected together. One end of the second horizontal connecting member 5 away from the second vertical support rod 4 is slidably inserted into the first horizontal connecting member 2, and a secondary limiting hole 6 is provided on the second horizontal connecting member 5. The secondary limiting hole 6 on the second horizontal connecting member 5 is connected to one of the main limiting holes 3 on the first horizontal connecting member 2 by a bolt. During use, the specific purpose of adjusting the distance between the first support frame and the second support frame can be achieved by adjusting the connection between the secondary limiting hole 6 and different main limiting holes 3, so that the core mold support tool can be applied to more core molds with different lengths for transportation.

[0034] Since the first horizontal connecting member 2 and the second horizontal connecting member 4 are inserted into each other, in order to further improve the connection stability between the first horizontal connecting member 2 and the second horizontal connecting member 4 and the safety during use, adjustable feet are provided on the first horizontal connecting member 2. The adjustable feet include a vertically arranged connecting rod 9 and a screw rod 10. One end of the connecting rod 9 is fixed to the first horizontal connecting member 2, and the other end is provided with a connection hole (not shown in the figure). The connection hole is arranged along the length direction of the connecting rod 9, and the connection hole is provided with internal threads. One end of the screw rod 10 is screwed into the connection hole, and the other end is fixedly provided with a support foot 11. During use, the support height of the adjustable feet can be adjusted by rotating the screw rod 10. In order to improve the adjustment convenience of the screw rod 10, a rotating nut 12 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the screw rod 10 close to the support foot 11. During use, the rotating nut 12 can be rotated by a wrench to drive the screw rod 10 to rotate. The end of the support foot 11 away from the screw rod 10 is detachably connected with an elastic support pad 13, and the elastic support pad 13 is sleeved outside the support foot 11.

[0035] Two groups of the fixing components are respectively arranged on the first vertical support member 1 and the second vertical support member 4. The fixing component includes a fixing plate 7 and an adjusting plate 8. The fixing plate 7 is vertically fixed to the top of the first vertical support member 1 or the second vertical support member 4. The adjusting plate 8 includes a limiting portion 8-1 and a connecting portion 8-2 which are arranged perpendicular to each other. The limiting portion 8-1 and the fixing plate 7 are arranged oppositely. The connecting portion 8-2 is slidably arranged on the top of the first vertical support member 1 or the second vertical support member 4 so that the limiting portion 8-1 can move along the direction away from or close to the adjusting plate 7. Specifically, at least two parallel strip-shaped holes are provided on the connecting portion 8-2, and limiting rods are provided at positions corresponding to the strip-shaped holes on the first vertical support member 1 and the second vertical support rod 4. The limiting rods movably penetrate through the corresponding strip-shaped holes, so that the connecting portion 8-2 can drive the limiting portion 8-1 to move along the direction away from or close to the fixing plate 7 within the length range of the strip-shaped holes. A locking nut is screwed on the limiting rod. During use, when the user adjusts the locking nut downward to press the connecting portion 8-2, the connecting portion 8-2 cannot move. When the relative distance between the adjusting plate 8 and the fixing plate 7 needs to be adjusted, only the locking nut needs to be adjusted upward to loosen the connecting portion 8-2, so that the fixing component can be used to fix core molds with different width dimensions.

[0036] In order to protect the core mold from being damaged during transportation and keep its position fixed, elastic pads 14 are provided on one side of the fixing plate 7 close to the limiting part 8-1 and on one side of the limiting part 8-1 close to the fixing plate 7.

[0037] Universal wheels 15 are fixedly provided at the bottom ends of the first vertical support member 2 and the second vertical support member 4. The universal wheels are the conventional universal self-locking casters commonly used in the prior art, and their specific structural connection methods are all conventional techniques in the art, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, in some other embodiments, the second horizontal connecting member 5 is of a square tube structure, and the first horizontal connecting member 2 is inserted into the second horizontal connecting member 5. At this time, the adjustable floor feet are fixed on the second horizontal connecting member 5.

[0039] A brief description of the use process of this application is as follows:

[0040] During use, first adjust the adjustable floor feet upward so that the support feet 11 do not contact the ground. Then, adjust the secondary limit holes 6 to connect with the corresponding main limit holes 3 according to the length of the core mold 16 to be supported and transported. After fixing the secondary limit holes 6 and the corresponding main limit holes 3, adjust the adjustable floor feet downward so that the support feet 11 contact the ground (mainly to ensure the stability of the connection between the first horizontal connecting member 2 and the second horizontal connecting member 5 when the core mold 16 is placed on the core mold support tooling). Then, place the corresponding two ends of the core mold 16 between the fixing plate 7 and the limiting part 8-1 of the two groups of fixing components respectively, and adjust the relative positions between the limiting part 8-1 and the fixing plate 7 to clamp the two ends of the core mold 16. Finally, adjust the adjustable floor feet upward again so that the support feet 11 do not contact the ground, and then push the core mold support tooling to the transportation location.

[0041] The above has introduced in detail a general core mold support tooling for composite material molding provided by the embodiments of this application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solution and its core idea of this application; those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
