Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of die-casting mold libraries, and particularly relates to a mold classification management device. Background Art

[0002] During the automobile casting process, molds of different sizes, weights and shapes are required. Existing mold libraries mostly place molds in a stacked manner, and the molds are called or placed by a traveling crane. For the molds placed at the bottom layer, they need to be moved multiple times during the calling process, and the upper-layer molds need to be restored, which significantly increases the probability of the molds bumping into each other. For the components with prominent structures such as mold water towers and oil cylinders, the possibility of damage due to bumping increases.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN208603133U discloses a mold storage system, including a shelf for storing molds; and a device arranged on the mold for recording mold specifications and usage times information; the shelf is a three-dimensional shelf, and a steel structure platform is arranged below the shelf, and lifting lugs are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the steel structure platform.

[0004] The existing technology has the following deficiencies: Currently, the molds that need to be stored in automobile die-casting mainly include large molds, medium molds and small molds. The existing mold classification system cannot classify large molds, medium molds and small molds. If placed flat directly, it will occupy the space of the mold library and is prone to damage only by being retrieved by a traveling crane. If stacked directly on the shelf, it is not convenient for the traveling crane to access and retrieve. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems of difficult mold retrieval and high damage risk, the utility model provides a mold classification management device, which is characterized in that it includes a mold rack assembly composed of multiple mold rack units and a transport vehicle provided with a lifting mechanism. The mold rack unit includes a double-layer shelf and a single-layer platform arranged side by side. The double-layer shelf includes an upper platform and a lower cargo box. A mold tray and an import and export for the transport vehicle to enter and exit are arranged in the lower cargo box, and the mold tray can be lifted by the transport vehicle.

[0006] In order to facilitate the retrieval of the transport vehicle and improve the storage capacity at the same time, two or more of the mold rack assemblies are provided, and adjacent mold rack assemblies are arranged at intervals to leave a vehicle lane, and the import and export of the mold rack assembly faces the vehicle lane.

[0007] Preferably, the mold tray includes multiple side support columns and a top plate. The side support columns are only arranged on two opposite side edges of the top plate, and the other two opposite side edges are for the transport vehicle to enter and exit.

[0008] In order to be applicable to different installation scenarios, the single-layer platform of the mold rack assembly is arranged side by side with the upper platform or the lower cargo box.

[0009] Preferably, the transport vehicle is an AGV automatic guided vehicle.

[0010] For construction safety, a guardrail is provided on the double-layer shelf, and the guardrail is located on one side of the vehicle lane.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a plurality of hydraulic lifters and a lifting platform, and the lifting platform is arranged on the top of the hydraulic lifters.

[0012] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. Considering the large size and weight of large molds, they are directly lifted and placed on the single-layer platform by a traveling crane. Medium-sized molds are lifted and placed on the upper platform of the double-layer shelf by a traveling crane. Small molds are transported and stored in the warehouse together with the mold trays through a transport vehicle. The calling and classification of large molds, medium-sized molds and small molds are realized. The transport vehicle adopts a latent AGV automatic guided vehicle, which is convenient for the calling and management of small molds, simplifies the operation of mold storage and retrieval, reduces the risk of mold retrieval, protects the molds and is convenient for warehouse location management.

[0014] 2. The multi-layer setting of the mold base expands the mold inventory capacity and provides independent storage space for the molds. The traveling crane and the transport vehicle can be used for classification management, which can effectively reduce the actions and the probability of collision during the mold calling process, reduce the utilization rate of the traveling crane when calling the molds, and improve the utilization rate of the AGV transport vehicle. Thus, the time for mold storage and retrieval is saved, the work efficiency is improved, and the potential operation risks are reduced.

[0015] 3. The classification management of molds is realized by designing the size of the mold base according to the size of common molds and classifying them according to the frequency of mold use; it is also applicable to the digital chemical plant system and the mold management system. QR codes are engraved on the warehouse locations, and accurate positioning of the molds and the warehouse locations is achieved by scanning and binding, and a visual dashboard is set up to realize real-time monitoring of the warehouse locations.
