Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of foaming equipment, and specifically to a locking mechanism for a foaming mold and an automatic mold changing system with the locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The foaming layer has good heat insulation and shock absorption effects and is widely used in real life.

[0003] For traditional refrigerator wall panels, in order to better play the role of heat insulation, a foaming layer needs to be added to the refrigerator wall.

[0004] The overall structure of the traditional foaming production line is relatively simple, mainly realized by a conveying production line and an external mold for the production of the corresponding foaming layer.

[0005] Although the traditional foaming production line can realize the production of the corresponding foaming layer, the traditional mold is directly placed on the conveyor line without positioning, and it is easy to deflect during subsequent transportation and transfer. At the same time, it is not conducive to the accurate injection operation of the injection system.

[0006] In order to improve the above problems, generally a mold base assembly is selected to support and place the mold; for example, the content disclosed in Patent 202310490116.7 - A foaming mold base assembly.

[0007] However, there is a lack of positioning and connection structure between the traditional mold and the mold base assembly, and the mold may still shake or deflect on the mold base assembly.

[0008] Therefore, in order to improve at least one of the above problems, an auxiliary device is needed to stably place the foaming mold on the mold base assembly. Summary of the Utility Model

[0044] In addition, in the present utility model, the locking post 11 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 1-43 of the foaming mold 1-4. At the same time, in the present utility model, the locking drive portion 2 can drive the locking post 11 to rotate. When the present utility model is in use, the locking drive portion 2 drives the locking post 11 to rotate, and then drives the locking projection 12 to rotate, which is convenient for the locking projection 12 to press and lock the mold.
