[0002] The filling material of the silicone rubber foam pillow is silicone rubber foam material. The silicone rubber foam material is a new material for household fields such as pillows and mattresses. Compared with traditional pillow materials, such as feathers, cotton, and ordinary sponges, it has excellent air permeability, antibacterial property, anti-allergy property, weather resistance, and lasting support, and can provide a better sleep experience. When the silicone rubber foam pillow is produced and processed, it only needs to be simply produced and processed by using a mold.

[0003] Since a large amount of gas is generated during the vulcanization of the silicone rubber foam material at high temperature, on the one hand, the pressure in the mold cavity is too high during processing, and there are safety hazards during demolding; on the other hand, when using the mold for processing, in order to prevent the upper mold from shifting and tilting when moving up and down, a guiding structure is usually set to ensure the alignment of the upper mold and the lower mold. However, due to the frequent up and down movement of the upper mold, the guiding structure is easily worn, resulting in an increase in the gap, and then the upper mold is skewed and it is difficult to align with the lower mold, thus affecting the practicability of the mold and the stability of product production. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a mold for processing a silicone rubber foam pillow, which includes a base 1 and a top seat 11. A lower mold 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A hydraulic cylinder 13 is installed at the bottom of the top seat 11. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to an upper mold 14. A mold cavity 15 is opened at the top of the lower mold 12. An exhaust pipe 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mold cavity 15. An air inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side in the mold cavity 15. A pressure gauge 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the mold cavity 15 opposite to the air inlet pipe 17. A guiding component is provided between the base 1 and the top seat 11.

[0027] The guiding component includes fixings 21 fixedly connected to the four peripheries of the top of the base 1, a track groove 22 on one side of the fixing plate 21, extension blocks 23 on both sides of the upper mold 14, sliding openings 24 at the tops of the extension blocks 23, vertical plates 25 fixedly connected to both sides of the extension blocks 23, grooves 26 on one side of the vertical plates 25, push rods 27 in the grooves 26, moving blocks 28 fixedly connected to one ends of the push rods 27, slots 29 at the tops of the moving blocks 28, inserting blocks 30 arranged in the slots 29, rollers 31 fixedly connected to one side of the inserting blocks 30, first springs 32 sleeved outside the push rods 27, and an installation component for quickly replacing the rollers 31. The push rods 27 are slidably connected to the grooves 26. The inserting blocks 30 are inserted into the slots 29. The rollers 31 are in contact with the inner wall of the track groove 22. Both ends of the first spring 32 are fixedly connected to the vertical plates 25 and the moving blocks 28 respectively. The fixing plates 21 are slidably connected to the sliding openings 24.

[0028] When the hydraulic cylinder 13 works, it drives the upper mold 14 to move downward, and the silicone rubber foam pillow can be produced and processed. The air inlet pipe 17 can facilitate air intake to pressurize the mold cavity and improve the pore size of the silicone rubber foam material. The pressure gauge 18 can facilitate the operator to perform pressure detection. After processing, the exhaust pipe 16 can facilitate the discharge of the air in the mold cavity 15 for safe demolding. When the upper mold 14 moves, it can drive the extension blocks 23 to move vertically, and then the rollers 31 can roll in the track groove 22 to guide the upper mold 14 and prevent the upper mold 14 from tilting, ensuring the stability of mold closing. The first spring 32 is initially in a compressed state and can push the rollers 31 to contact the inner wall of the track groove 22 when the rollers 31 are worn, ensuring the guiding stability. The cross-sectional shapes of the grooves 26 and the push rods 27 are both T-shaped, which can limit the push rods 27 to prevent the push rods 27 from disengaging from the grooves 26 during sliding.

[0029] Guide grooves 51 are respectively provided on both sides of the extension block 23. A guide block 52 is slidably connected in the guide groove 51. The guide block 52 is fixedly connected to the moving block 28. The moving block 28 can drive the guide block 52 to move horizontally, guiding the movement of the moving block 28, preventing the roller 31 from tilting, ensuring that the roller 31 can contact the track groove 22. A third spring 71 is provided on one side of the guide block 52. Both ends of the third spring 71 are fixedly connected to the guide block 52 and the inner wall of the guide groove 51 respectively. The guide block 52 can squeeze the third spring 71 to deform it. The elasticity of the third spring 71 can ensure that the roller 31 is in close contact with the track groove 22, preventing the roller 31 from detaching from the inner wall of the track 22. On one side of the sliding port 24, a plurality of accommodating grooves 81 arranged evenly are formed. A sliding ball 82 is provided in the accommodating groove 81. When the extension block 23 moves, the sliding ball 82 can roll in the accommodating groove 81, reducing the friction between the extension block 23 and the fixed plate 21, reducing wear, and improving the service life of the parts.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 ., the installation component includes an installation cavity 41 in the insertion block 30, a moving port 42 at the top of the installation cavity 41, a sliding plate 43 in the installation cavity 41, a push plate 44 at the top of the sliding plate 43, an installation rod 45 fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 43, a pressing groove 46 on one side in the installation cavity 41, a pressing rod 47 fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate 43, a second spring 48 outside the pressing rod 47, and an installation hole 49 on one side in the insertion slot 29. The push plate 44 is slidably connected to the moving port 42. The installation rod 45 passes through the installation cavity 41 and is slidably connected to the insertion block 30. The installation rod 45 is inserted into the installation hole 49. The pressing rod 47 is slidably connected to the pressing groove 46. Both ends of the second spring 48 are fixedly connected to the sliding plate 43 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 41 respectively. By pushing the push plate 44, the sliding plate 43 can be driven to move. The sliding plate 43 can drive the second spring 48 to deform, and at the same time can drive the installation rod 45 to move. The insertion block 30 can be inserted into the insertion slot 29. When the second spring 48 resets, it can drive the installation rod 45 to be inserted into the installation hole 49, installing and fixing the roller 31 and the moving block 28, thereby preventing the roller 31 from shifting and ensuring stable guiding of the upper die 14. In addition, the roller 31 with serious wear can be quickly replaced. A guide rod 61 is fixedly connected in the moving port 42. A through hole 62 is formed on the push plate 44. The guide rod 61 is slidably connected to the through hole 62. The guide rod 61 can guide the push plate 44, effectively preventing the push plate 44 from tilting during movement, and thus improving the movement stability of the installation rod 45.

[0031] Working principle: During operation, first fix the roller 31, push the push plate 44 and the moving block 28, so that the moving block 28 drives the guiding block 52 to move and compresses the first spring 32 to deform it. The movement of the guiding block 52 will deform the third spring 71. The movement of the push plate 44 can drive the sliding plate 43 to move, and the movement of the sliding plate 43 deforms the second spring 48, and at the same time drives the mounting rod 45 to move into the mounting cavity 41. Then insert the insertion block 30 into the slot 29. At this time, the mounting rod 45 is aligned with the mounting hole 49, and the roller 31 contacts the track groove 22. Release the push plate 44, and the second spring 48 resets, driving the mounting rod 45 to reset and insert into the mounting hole 49, quickly fixing the roller 31 and the moving block 28.

[0032] When the hydraulic cylinder 13 works, the upper die 14 moves downward, and the roller 31 rolls in the track groove 22, effectively reducing the friction force and guiding the upper die 14 to prevent it from skewing and offsetting. When the roller 31 is worn, the thrust generated by the deformation of the first spring 32 and the third spring 71 can ensure that the roller 31 always contacts the inner wall of the track groove 22, thus ensuring the guiding stability of the upper die 14. When the roller 31 needs to be replaced, push the push plate 44 again to disengage the mounting rod 45 from the mounting hole 49, and then the roller 31 can be removed and a new roller 31 can be replaced. The above is the working process of the entire device, and the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art. The silicone rubber foam material in the present invention contains the following components: 100 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber compound, 10 - 100 parts of hydroxyl silicone oil, 5 - 10 parts of cross-linking agent, 1 - 5 parts of maleic anhydride inhibitor, 0.1 - 5 parts of platinum curing agent, 10 - 60 parts of white carbon black, and 1 - 10 parts of antibacterial agent. After uniformly stirring these foam materials, put them into a processing mold, control the vulcanization temperature at 60 - 90 °C, and control the secondary vulcanization temperature at 150 - 200 °C.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
