[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the system structure of the mold vacuum control structure in the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, the mold vacuum control structure provided by the present utility model includes a vacuum tank assembly 10, a mold assembly 20, a vacuum suction assembly 30, and a main pipe 40. The vacuum tank assembly 10 is connected to the mold assembly 20. One end of the main pipe 40 is connected to the vacuum tank assembly 10, and the other end of the main pipe 40 is connected to the vacuum suction assembly 30. The vacuum suction assembly 30 can evacuate the vacuum tank assembly 10 through the main pipe 40, thereby providing a vacuum environment for the mold assembly 20, evacuating or degassing the mold assembly 20 to complete the process of adsorbing, grasping, or releasing the product. A separation unit 50 is provided on the vacuum tank assembly 10. The separation unit 50 can separate the vacuum tanks, thereby facilitating the control of the vacuum tanks and avoiding mutual influence between the vacuum tanks.

[0023] The vacuum tank assembly 10 includes a first vacuum tank 11 and a second vacuum tank 12. The first vacuum tank 11 is connected to a first vacuum tube 13. One end of the first vacuum tube 13 is connected to the first vacuum tank 11, and the other end of the first vacuum tube 11 is connected to the main pipe 40.

One end of the second vacuum tube 14 is connected to the second vacuum tank 12, and the other end of the second vacuum tube 14 is connected to the main pipe 40. The first vacuum tube 13, the second vacuum tube 14, and the main pipe 40 are connected through a tee fitting, so that the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 can respectively provide a vacuum environment for the mold assembly 20.

[0024] The mold assembly 20 includes an upper mold 21 and a lower mold 22. The upper mold 21 is connected to the first vacuum tank 11 through a first connecting pipeline 23. One end of the first connecting pipeline 23 is connected to the upper mold 21, and the other end of the first connecting pipeline 23 is connected to the first vacuum tank 11. The lower mold 22 is connected to the second vacuum tank 12 through a second connecting pipeline 24. One end of the second connecting pipeline 24 is connected to the lower mold 22, and the other end of the second connecting pipeline 24 is connected to the second vacuum tank 12.

[0025] A first solenoid valve 25 is provided on the first connecting pipeline 23. The first solenoid valve 25 can control the flow or closure of the first connecting pipeline 23. When the first solenoid valve 25 is opened, the first connecting pipeline 23 is in flow, and the vacuum negative pressure in the first vacuum tank 11 is transmitted to the upper mold 21, enabling the upper mold 21 to adsorb and grasp the product. When the first solenoid valve 25 is closed, the first connecting pipeline 23 is closed, and the vacuum negative pressure in the first vacuum tank 11 is disconnected from the upper mold 21, causing the upper mold 21 to cancel the adsorption of the product and release the product. A second solenoid valve 26 is provided on the second connecting pipeline 24. The second solenoid valve 26 can control the flow or closure of the second connecting pipeline 24. When the second solenoid valve 26 is opened, the second connecting pipeline 24 is in flow, and the vacuum negative pressure in the second vacuum tank 12 is transmitted to the lower mold 22, enabling the lower mold 22 to adsorb and grasp the product. When the second solenoid valve 26 is closed, the second connecting pipeline 24 is closed, and the vacuum negative pressure in the second vacuum tank 12 is disconnected from the lower mold 22, causing the lower mold 22 to cancel the adsorption of the product and release the product.

[0026] A first pressure relief valve 111 and a first pressure gauge 112 are provided on the first vacuum tank 11.

A second pressure relief valve 121 and a second pressure gauge 122 are provided on the second vacuum tank 12. After the production stops, the second pressure relief valve 121 can eliminate the negative pressure in the second vacuum tank 12, ensuring the normal use of the second vacuum tank 12 and extending its service life.

[0027] The vacuum suction assembly 30 includes a vacuum suction pipe 31 and a vacuum pump 32. One end of the vacuum suction pipe 31 is connected to the vacuum pump 32, and the other end is connected to the main pipe 40. The vacuum pump 32 can evacuate the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 through the vacuum suction pipe 31 and the main pipe 40, enabling the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 to provide vacuum negative pressure for the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22 respectively.

[0028] The separation unit 50 includes a first one-way valve 51 and a second one-way valve 52. The first one-way valve 51 is arranged on the first vacuum pipe 13, restricting the flow direction in the first vacuum pipe 13 to only from the first vacuum tank 11 to the main pipe 40. The second one-way valve 52 is arranged on the second vacuum pipe 14, restricting the flow direction in the second vacuum pipe 14 to only from the second vacuum tank 12 to the main pipe 40, thus separating the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 and enabling the independent control of the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22, avoiding mutual influence between the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12.

[0029] A connecting pipe 15 is provided between the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12. One end of the connecting pipe 15 is connected to the first vacuum tank 11, and the other end is connected to the second vacuum tank 12. A connecting valve 151 is provided on the connecting pipe 15. The connecting valve 151 can control the flow or closure of the connecting pipe 15, and the connecting valve 151 is normally closed.

[0030] A third one-way valve 311 is provided on the vacuum suction pipe 31. The third one-way valve 311 restricts the flow direction in the vacuum suction pipe 31 to only from the main pipe 40 into the vacuum pump 32, thus effectively preventing the oil in the vacuum pump 32 from being sucked back when the vacuum pump 32 stops, avoiding affecting the normal operation of the vacuum pump 32 and avoiding affecting the vacuum environment of the vacuum control system. The vacuum suction pipe 31 is connected to a ventilation pipe 33. One end of the ventilation pipe 33 is connected to the vacuum suction pipe 31, and the other end of the ventilation pipe 33 is communicated with the atmospheric environment. A third solenoid valve 34 is provided on the ventilation pipe 33. When the vacuum pump 32 is evacuating, the third solenoid valve 34 remains closed to ensure the normal operation of the vacuum pump 32; when the vacuum pump 32 stops, the third solenoid valve 34 closes, and air enters the vacuum pump 32 through the ventilation pipe 33, so that the vacuum pump 32 is under normal pressure when it stops, extending the service life of the vacuum pump 32.

[0031] The three vacuum suction pipes 31 of the three groups of vacuum suction assemblies 30 are all connected to the main pipe 40, so that the three vacuum pumps 32 are connected. At least one vacuum pump 32 can be turned on according to the required vacuum level for production, so as to meet the required vacuum level for production and improve the reliability of the structure.

[0032] When the mold vacuum control structure provided by the present utility model controls the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22 to work, the communication valve 151 is closed, the first solenoid valve 25 is closed, the second solenoid valve 26 is closed, and the vacuum suction assembly 30 is started to evacuate the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 through the first vacuum tube 13 and the second vacuum tube 14 respectively. When the upper mold 21 is evacuated, the communication valve 151 is closed, the first solenoid valve 25 is opened, the second solenoid valve 26 is closed, the upper mold 21 consumes the vacuum in the first vacuum tank 12, and the second one-way valve 52 can play an isolation role to prevent the upper mold 21 from consuming the vacuum in the second vacuum tank 12; when the upper mold 21 is degassed, the first solenoid valve 25 is closed to disconnect the upper mold 21 from the first vacuum tank 11, and the upper mold 21 is degassed. When the lower mold 22 is evacuated, the communication valve 151 is closed, the first solenoid valve 25 is closed, the second solenoid valve 26 is opened, the lower mold 22 consumes the vacuum in the second vacuum tank 12, and the first one-way valve 51 can play an isolation role to prevent the lower mold 22 from consuming the vacuum in the first vacuum tank 12; when the lower mold 22 is degassed, the second solenoid valve 26 is closed to disconnect the lower mold 22 from the second vacuum tank 12, and the lower mold 22 is degassed. When the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22 need to be evacuated simultaneously, the communication valve 151 is opened, the first solenoid valve 25 is opened, the second solenoid valve 26 is opened, so that the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 can cooperate with the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22 to work together. And during the working process of the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22, the vacuum suction assembly 30 can continuously work to timely supplement the consumed vacuum pressure in the first vacuum tank 11 or the second vacuum tank 12, and can maximize the capacity of the vacuum pump 32. Therefore, the mold vacuum control structure provided by the present utility model can independently control the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22, and the control structure and control process are simple, effectively reducing the production cost and avoiding the mutual influence between the first vacuum tank 11 and the second vacuum tank 12 during the independent working process of the upper mold 21 or the lower mold 22, and the structural reliability is strong.
