Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automotive parts production, and particularly to a mold replacement device for an automotive seat production line. Background Art

[0002] Automotive seats are important components in automotive interiors, mainly composed of seat skeletons, seat foams, and facings. Sponge forming molds are required for producing seat foams. Existing molds for producing automotive seat foams include a trolley and a mold unit disposed on the trolley. The mold unit includes a lower mold and an upper mold. When the lower mold and the upper mold are closed, they enclose a cavity for sponge forming.

[0003] Due to different seat types, different types of molds need to be frequently replaced in the daily production plan to meet the production requirements of different types of seats. In related technologies, the mold is generally installed on a production line support. When the mold needs to be replaced, the mold is disassembled and assembled with the production line support. The mold removed from the production line support is generally placed on the ground or a storage table, and then the mold is transferred from the ground or the storage table.

[0004] In view of the above related technologies, after the mold is removed, it is necessary to check and maintain the opened mold. Generally, a lifting device is used for mold opening and closing. Due to different mold types and sizes, it is difficult for the lifting device to be adapted to different types of molds. In order to enable the lifting device to be docked with the mold, it is necessary to accurately move the position of the mold to a predetermined position, resulting in an increased difficulty in mold transfer operations. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the convenience of mold replacement, the present application provides a mold replacement device for an automotive seat production line.

[0006] The mold replacement device for an automotive seat production line provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A mold replacement device for an automotive seat production line includes a frame, a carrier slidably connected to the frame in the horizontal direction along the transverse direction, and a limit frame slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction. The carrier is used for supporting the mold, the limit frame is used for limiting one side of the mold, a centering detector is disposed on the limit frame, the centering detector is used for detecting the position of the mold so that the carrier can drive the center of the mold to move to the center of the frame, and a lifting assembly is disposed on the frame, and the output end of the lifting assembly is located at the center of the frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mold is placed on the support bracket by a forklift, the limit frame can limit the position of the mold in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, the centering detector can detect the current position of the mold to move the mold to the center of the frame, so that the output end of the lifting assembly can be accurately docked with the mold. The solution of this application only requires the transfer personnel to move the mold onto the support bracket, and it is not necessary for the transfer personnel to make a relatively accurate transfer to ensure the subsequent docking of the lifting assembly and the mold. The transfer difficulty is low, and the replacement efficiency of the mold is high.

[0009] Optionally, the support bracket includes a support plate and a support bracket body. The support plate is slidably connected to the frame, and the support bracket body is vertically fixed to the top surface of the support plate. The cross-section of the support bracket body is in an H shape.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the H-shaped design of the support bracket body provides a stable support surface, which is beneficial to the stable placement of the mold and the stability during the sliding process. At the same time, it is also convenient for the forklift to transfer.

[0011] Optionally, a height adjustment assembly for adjusting the height of the support bracket body is provided between the support plate and the support bracket body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it can adapt to molds of different heights and improve the versatility of the device. The height adjustment assembly enables the device to flexibly cope with molds of different heights and broadens the application range of the device.

[0013] Optionally, a centering adjustment assembly for driving the support bracket to slide horizontally is provided on the frame, and the centering adjustment assembly is electrically connected to the centering detector.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the precise centering of the mold is realized in an automated manner, reducing the time and error of manual adjustment. The automated centering adjustment simplifies the operation, improves the speed and accuracy of mold positioning, and reduces the need for manual intervention.

[0015] Optionally, a limit adjustment assembly for driving the limit frame to slide longitudinally is provided on the frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the device can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of molds of different lengths to ensure the stable limitation of the mold.

[0017] Optionally, the longitudinal section of the limit frame is in an H shape, and the output end of the limit adjustment assembly is connected to the center of the limit frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the H-shaped limit frame combined with the adjustment method of central connection enhances the rigidity and stability of the limit frame and ensures the smooth progress of the adjustment process.

[0019] Optionally, the lifting assembly includes a lifting electric hoist disposed at the top of the frame, and the hook of the lifting electric hoist is detachably connected to the center of the mold.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mold is accurately centered, the hook is docked with the center of the mold, and the mold is opened and closed by using the hook. At this time, the forces on each part of the mold are uniform, and the process of opening and closing the mold is more stable.

[0021] Optionally, the limiting frame is disposed on one side of the mold inlet away from the frame.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to put the mold in and take it out, and at the same time, it avoids conflicts with the lifting assembly. The reasonable layout plan not only facilitates the taking and placing of the mold, but also ensures the coordinated operation of each component of the device.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Through the combined structure of the frame, the supporting bracket and the limiting frame, the stable support and accurate positioning of the mold are realized, the operation process of mold replacement is simplified, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0025] 2. In the preferred solution, the automated centering adjustment component combined with the centering detector greatly reduces the manual adjustment time and error, and further improves the efficiency and accuracy of mold replacement.

[0026] 3. The multiple adjustable designs of the device enable it to flexibly adapt to different types and sizes of molds, significantly improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0027] 4. The overall design is reasonable, the layout is compact, and each component operates in coordination, ensuring the high efficiency and smoothness of the mold replacement process. Description of the Drawings

[0033] The following will further elaborate on this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 - 3 drawings.

[0034] In related technologies, referring to Figure 1 , the mold 1 includes a trolley 11 and a mold body 12 installed on the trolley 11. The mold body 12 includes a lower mold and an upper mold, and the lower mold and the upper mold are opened and closed on the trolley 11 in a hinged manner.

[0035] The mold replacement device for an automotive seat production line provided by the embodiment of this application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , includes a frame 2, a support bracket 3, and a limit bracket 4. The frame 2 serves as the support foundation for the entire device. The support bracket 3 can slide horizontally along the transverse direction on the frame 2 and is mainly responsible for supporting the mold 1. The limit bracket 4 can slide longitudinally on the frame 2, and its main function is to limit one side of the mold 1 to ensure accurate positioning of the mold 1 on the support bracket 3.

[0036] Among them, the support bracket 3 includes two parts: a support plate 31 and a support bracket body 32. The support plate 31 is designed to be slidable on the frame 2 through a slide rail mechanism, so that the support bracket 3 can freely slide horizontally on the frame 2. The support bracket body 32 is arranged on the top of the support plate 31 and is designed with an H-shaped cross-section structure. This not only provides a more stable support area but also ensures the stability of the mold 1 during placement and sliding. A height adjustment component 8 is provided between the support plate 31 and the support bracket body 32. This component can adjust the height of the support bracket body 32 through a hydraulic lifting mechanism or other means, so that the device can adapt to molds 1 of different heights, improving the versatility of the device.

[0037] At the same time, a centering adjustment component 5 for driving the support bracket 3 to slide horizontally is provided on the frame 2. The centering adjustment component 5 can be a hydraulic cylinder, which pushes the support bracket 3 to slide to achieve centering adjustment of the mold 1. At the same time, a centering detector 51 is also equipped on the limit bracket 4. The function of this detector is to detect the position of the mold 1. The centering detector 51 is a common position detector on the market, and its structure is relatively existing and will not be elaborated here. The centering detector 51 is electrically connected to the centering adjustment component 5, and can feedback the position information of the mold 1 to the centering adjustment component 5. The centering adjustment component 5 makes precise adjustments to ensure that the support bracket 3 can drive the center of the mold 1 to accurately move to the center of the frame 2.

[0038] Among them, a lifting assembly 6 is installed on the top of the frame 2. The lifting assembly 6 mainly includes a lifting electric hoist. The hook of the lifting electric hoist can be detachably connected to the center of the upper mold, which greatly facilitates the opening and closing of the mold 1. For different types of molds 1, by using the centering detector 51 and the centering adjustment assembly 5, the center of the mold 1 can be effectively adjusted to the center of the frame 2. At this time, the hook of the lifting electric hoist is connected to the center of the upper mold, and the lifting electric hoist is used for opening and closing the mold operation. This solution can make the force directions of different types of molds 1 consistent, improve the force uniformity of the mold 1, and ensure the stability of the mold 1 opening and closing and the convenience of operation.

[0039] At the same time, a limit adjustment assembly 7 is also installed on the frame 2, which can drive the limit frame 4 to slide longitudinally. This assembly can also adjust the position of the limit frame 4 through a driving mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder, so that the device can adapt to molds 1 of different lengths and ensure the reliability of the limit function.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the longitudinal section of the limit frame 4 is designed as an H shape, and the driving force of the limit adjustment assembly 7 acts directly on the center of the limit frame 4. Such a design aims to provide stronger limit support force and ensure the stability of the limit frame 4 during adjustment.

[0041] In addition, the limit frame 4 is arranged at the far end of the mold inlet of the frame 2. Such a layout is more conducive to the insertion and removal of the mold 1 and can avoid conflicts with the lifting assembly 6, thus ensuring the smoothness of the operation.

[0042] Through the above reasonable structural design and functional configuration, the mold replacement device for the automotive seat production line provided by the embodiment of the present application can realize the rapid replacement and precise positioning of the mold 1, significantly improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost, and at the same time improve the convenience and flexibility of use.

[0043] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: through the design of structures such as the frame 2, the support bracket 3, and the limit frame 4, the mold 1 on the automotive seat production line can be replaced and positioned quickly and stably, and through the configuration of the centering adjustment assembly 5, the centering detector 51, and the lifting assembly 6, the operation is made more intelligent and convenient, effectively improving the production efficiency and user experience.

[0044] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
