Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of molds, and particularly to a mold with in-place detection for guiding. Background Art
[0002] Existing mold technologies have been widely applied in modern industrial production. Especially in various forming and processing fields, the accuracy and efficiency of molds have a direct impact on product quality and production costs. Traditional molds usually include several forming slider components that work in sequence. These slider components are driven by insertion rods with guiding inclined surfaces to achieve the forming of complex parts. However, the current mold system has certain limitations in guiding and positioning, especially the lack of in-place detection function, which may lead to problems such as insufficient accuracy and unstable product quality during the production process.
[0003] In existing molds, although the forming slider components are driven by the insertion rods of the guiding inclined surfaces, due to the lack of in-place detection function, it is difficult to ensure that each operation can be accurately in place. The operation of the forming slider components depends on the stability of the mechanical structure and the operation experience of workers. Once there is a deviation, it is easy to cause poor forming or damage to the mold, further affecting production efficiency and product consistency. For example, when the slider is not fully in place, the formed parts may have problems such as dimensional deviation and surface defects, and these problems are often discovered only during subsequent inspections, resulting in waste of materials and time.
[0004] The main reason for the above deficiencies is that the traditional mold system lacks an effective detection and feedback mechanism. During the production process, the motion state and position of the slider cannot be monitored in real time, making it difficult to detect and correct the deviations during operation in a timely manner. The existing technology mainly relies on the fixed guiding of the mechanical structure. However, the mechanical system may experience wear and displacement after long-term use, further reducing the guiding accuracy and reliability. In addition, factors such as vibration and temperature changes in the production environment may also affect the precise positioning of the slider, increasing the uncertainty of operation.
[0005] In order to overcome the above deficiencies of the existing technology, it is of great significance to develop a mold with in-place detection for guiding. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of this application is to at least overcome one deficiency existing in the prior art, and provide a mold with in-place detection for guiding. By introducing in-place detection technology, this mold can monitor the operation state of the forming slider components in real time, ensuring that each operation can be accurately in place. This can not only improve the forming accuracy and product quality, but also significantly reduce the rework and scrap rate caused by poor forming, and improve production efficiency.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application discloses a mold with in-place guiding detection, including an upper mold assembly and a lower mold assembly that is in alignment and cooperation with the upper mold assembly. Among them, the upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly are in guiding cooperation through a return spring and a guiding structure; a forming position is provided in the lower mold assembly, and at least one forming slider assembly is provided beside the forming position. An inserting rod with a working inclined surface that cooperates with the forming slider assembly is provided in the upper mold assembly; the forming slider has a bottom plate provided with a guide rail, a slider installed on the guide rail and capable of sliding freely, and a rear support block located on the bottom plate and spaced relative to the slider; the front end of the slider has a molding portion, and a working groove is formed between the rear end of the slider and the support block; an induction component is buried at the bottom end of the working groove, and the induction component is led out through a cable and connected to an external control device; a guiding inclined surface that cooperates with the working inclined surface on the inserting rod is provided on the slider. At the same time, when the inserting rod is inserted into the working groove, the guiding inclined surface contacts and cooperates with the working inclined surface; the bottom end of the inserting rod has a flat lower end surface, and when the inserting rod descends to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the inserting rod contacts the electric induction component to achieve induction triggering.
[0008] In some embodiments, the induction component is composed of adjacent and insulated positive and negative terminals. The lower end surface of the inserting rod is a conductive part. When the inserting rod descends to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the inserting rod conducts the positive terminal and the negative terminal to achieve induction triggering.
[0009] In other embodiments, the induction component is a piezoelectric sheet. When the inserting rod descends to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the inserting rod provides an induction pressure to the piezoelectric sheet, causing the piezoelectric sheet to generate current and trigger induction information.
[0010] In some embodiments, a detachable wear-resistant block is buried in the working inclined surface of the inserting rod.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. Precise guiding and in-place detection: The upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly are in precise guiding cooperation through a return spring and a guiding structure to ensure accurate alignment of each part when the mold is closed. The forming slider assembly cooperates with the inserting rod in the upper mold assembly. Through the contact of the working inclined surface and the guiding inclined surface, it is ensured that the forming slider slides freely and is accurately positioned on the guide rail.
[0013] 2. High-efficiency forming: The slider and the support block in the forming slider assembly form a working groove, and an induction component is embedded at the bottom end of the groove to achieve real-time monitoring of the position of the forming slider. This design ensures stable and precise movement of the forming slider during the processing, improving the forming efficiency and the quality of the finished product.
[0014] 3. Safe and reliable: The design of the induction component enables the system to monitor the position of the insertion rod in real time, ensuring the safety and reliability of the mold operation and preventing mold damage or product defects caused by inaccurate positions.

[0023] As Figure 1 and 2 shown, the present application discloses an exemplary structure for achieving the technical purpose of the present application, specifically a mold with in-place guiding detection. In terms of structural composition, it includes an upper mold assembly and a lower mold assembly that is in alignment and cooperation with the upper mold assembly. The upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly are guided and cooperated through a return spring and a guiding structure to ensure accurate alignment and stability during the operation of the mold.
[0024] Specifically, the upper mold assembly includes an upper mold base 1, guiding columns, return springs, insertion rods, pressing blocks, punching knives and forming punches.
[0025] The upper mold base 1 is the main body of the entire upper mold assembly and is made of high-strength alloy steel to ensure the durability and stability of the mold.
[0026] The guiding columns are fixed on the upper mold base 1 and are made of wear-resistant materials for cooperating with the guiding holes of the lower mold assembly to achieve accurate alignment between the upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly.
[0027] The lower mold assembly includes a lower mold base 2, guiding holes, forming positions, forming slider assemblies and sensing assemblies.
[0028] The return springs are sleeved on the guiding columns, made of high-elasticity steel, fixed at one end on the upper mold base 1 and contacting the lower mold base 2 at the other end to provide a return force during the opening and closing of the mold.
[0029] The insertion rod 3 is installed in the middle of the upper mold base 1, with a flat lower end surface at its bottom and connected to the driving device of the upper mold base 1 at the upper end.
[0030] It should be understood that the pressing block is used to press the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece remains fixed during the forming process. The punching knife is used to perform punching, trimming and other punching operations.
[0031] In addition, as required, the upper mold assembly further includes forming punches for performing forming operations such as bending and flanging.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lower mold base 2 is the main body of the entire lower mold assembly, and the guiding holes are located on the lower mold base 2 and cooperate with the guiding columns of the upper mold assembly to achieve accurate alignment between the upper and lower molds.
[0033] Further, the forming position is set in the central area of the lower die base for placing the material to be formed.
[0034] Further, at least one forming slider assembly 4 is provided beside the forming position. The forming slider assembly 4 includes a bottom plate 5 provided with a guide rail, a slider 6 and a backrest block 7. The slider 6 is installed on the guide rail of the bottom plate 5 and can slide freely. The front end of the slider 6 has a molding portion 8, and the rear end is spaced relative to the backrest block 7 located on the bottom plate 5 to form a working slot 9. An induction component 10 is buried at the bottom end of the working slot 9. The induction component 10 is connected to an external control device (not shown in the figure) through a cable to realize real-time monitoring of the position of the slider 6 for forming.
[0035] It should be understood that slots / holes for cooperating with the punching tool and the forming punch are provided at the working position to ensure the precise cooperation of each component during the processing.
[0036] During operation, when the upper die assembly moves downward, the insertion rod 3 is inserted into the working slot 9 of the forming slider assembly 4 in the lower die assembly. The insertion rod is provided with a working inclined surface, and a wear-resistant block made of wear-resistant alloy material is embedded on the working inclined surface and is in contact and cooperation with the guiding inclined surface on the slider 6, that is, the outer surface of the wear-resistant block is substantially in contact and cooperation with the guiding inclined surface, and the slider 6 is pushed to move along the guide rail. The front-end molding portion 8 of the slider 6 forms the material under the push of the insertion rod. During the above process, when the insertion rod 3 continues to move downward to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the insertion rod 3 contacts the induction component 10 to realize induction triggering and send a position signal to the control device. This induction-in-place design not only ensures precise positioning during the forming process but also avoids mold damage and product defects caused by inaccurate positions.
[0037] In this embodiment, there are two implementation methods for the design of the induction component.
[0038] Optional solution 1: The induction component 10 can be composed of adjacent and insulated positive and negative terminals. The lower end surface of the insertion rod 3 is a conductive part. When the insertion rod 3 moves downward to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the insertion rod 3 conducts the positive terminal and the negative terminal to complete the induction triggering.
[0039] Optional solution 2: A piezoelectric sheet is used as the induction component 10. When the insertion rod 3 moves downward to the bottom dead center of the stroke, the lower end surface of the insertion rod 3 provides an induction pressure to the piezoelectric sheet, causing the piezoelectric sheet to generate current and trigger the induction information. Real-time monitoring of the positions of various parts of the mold is realized, and the safety and reliability of mold operation are further improved.
[0040] The design principle of this mold lies in ensuring the accurate alignment and stability of each component during the operation of the mold through precise guidance and in-place detection. The use of a return spring and a guiding structure enables the upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly to quickly return to their original positions after each operation, preparing for the next operation. The in-place sensing design not only ensures the smooth progress of the forming process but also can monitor the working state of the mold in real time, avoiding production failures caused by component wear or misalignment, and improving the operating efficiency of the production line.
[0041] In practical applications, this mold can be used in various occasions that require precise forming and in-place detection. For example, in the manufacturing of automotive parts, the precise positioning and stable performance of the mold can ensure the consistency of the size and shape of each part, improving production efficiency and product quality. During the production process of electronic products, the guiding and in-place detection functions of this mold can ensure the precise installation of each electronic component, reducing the defective rate.
[0042] Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure in essence. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included within the protection scope of the present disclosure defined by the claims. The present disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and equivalents of these claims are also included.
