Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mold transfer devices, and particularly relates to a mold transfer ball platform. Background Art

[0002] Molds are important process equipment for manufacturing various industrial products. They play an indispensable role in modern industry, especially in applications in multiple fields such as automobiles, household appliances, aviation, and aerospace. Molds used in industry are generally metal molds, which have advantages such as high hardness, high wear resistance, and high precision. At the same time, they are generally large in volume and extremely heavy, and their transfer requires a crane or forklift to cooperate with multiple workers, resulting in extremely long transfer operation times. Moreover, the surrounding equipment and personnel are easily damaged by bumps during the transfer process.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a mold transfer ball platform to solve the above problems.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction of the technical background is only for the convenience of clearly and completely explaining the technical solution of the present utility model and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above content is well-known to those skilled in the art just because these contents are described in the background art of the present utility model. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to disclose a mold transfer ball platform to solve the problems of low transfer efficiency of heavy molds and the inability to perform single-person operations.

[0006] The present utility model discloses a mold transfer ball platform, which includes a platform support and a ball assembly. The platform support is provided with uniformly arranged positioning holes. The lower end of the ball assembly passes through the positioning holes from the upper end of the platform support and is detachably connected thereto. The top of the ball assembly is detachably provided with balls, and the top height of the balls is always higher than the height of the platform support. By arranging balls on the upper end surface of the platform support, when the mold is placed on the platform support, it is supported by the balls. When it is necessary to move the mold, since the friction between the balls and the mold is rolling friction, only one person is required to push the mold for transfer, and the operation is simple and efficient.

[0007] Preferred technical solution: The ball component includes a mounting base. There is a mounting through-hole on the mounting base. A ball and a ball support column are sequentially arranged from top to bottom in the mounting through-hole. The outer periphery of the ball support column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting through-hole. The top of the ball support column is provided with an arc surface having the same radius as the ball. A locking end cap is provided at the bottom of the mounting base, and the locking end cap confines the ball support column within the mounting through-hole. After the ball is damaged, it can be directly replaced and repaired from the bottom of the mounting through-hole. During maintenance, only parts need to be replaced, reducing the maintenance cost and improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0008] Preferred technical solution: The locking end cap is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base. At the corresponding position of the locking end cap and the mounting through-hole, there is a height adjustment convex block. The position height of the ball can be adjusted through the height adjustment convex block. A conveying channel is formed on the platform bracket by the difference in the height of the ball end face. This can prevent the conveying direction of the mold from shifting during the conveying process. At the same time, restricting the mold through the height of the ball can also prevent it from colliding with the side of the mold and affecting its accuracy.

[0009] Preferred technical solution: An elastic gasket is provided between the height adjustment convex block and the ball support column, so that there is a buffer area when the ball contacts the mold, avoiding damage to the ball caused by rigid contact during the conveying process of the mold and improving the service life of the ball.

[0010] Preferred technical solution: The positioning holes are arranged in a rectangular array, which is convenient for establishing a mold conveying channel by adjusting the height of the ball.

[0011] Preferred technical solution: The upper end of the mounting base is of a disc-shaped structure, which has good connection stability with the platform bracket.

[0012] Preferred technical solution: An oil filling hole communicating with the mounting through-hole is provided at the upper end of the mounting base, which is used to fill lubricating oil into the mounting through-hole, improving the service life of the ball and the ball support column.

[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the ball platform for mold transfer of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) Balls are arranged on the platform bracket to convey the mold, using rolling friction to reduce the conveying resistance of the mold, so that a single person can complete the transfer and conveyance of the mold;

[0015] (2) The height of the balls on the platform bracket can be adjusted to a certain extent. By adjusting the height of the balls, a conveying channel for the mold is formed on the platform bracket, avoiding collisions during the conveying process of the mold and ensuring its use accuracy;

[0016] (3) An elastic member is provided at the lower end of the ball support column, increasing the contact buffer between the ball and the mold, avoiding direct damage to the ball caused by rigid contact, and improving its service life. Description of the Drawings

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, a ball platform for mold transfer disclosed by the present utility model includes a platform bracket 1 and a ball assembly 2. The following will specifically describe the main components of the above present utility model:

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the platform bracket 1 is provided with uniformly arranged positioning holes 11, and the positioning holes 11 are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0030] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the ball assembly 2 includes a mounting seat 22. The mounting seat 22 is provided with a mounting through hole 22a. A ball 21 and a ball support column 23 are sequentially arranged in the mounting through hole 22a from top to bottom. The outer periphery of the ball support column 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting through hole 22a. The top of the ball support column 23 is provided with an arc surface having the same radius as the ball 21; a locking end cover 24 is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 22, and the locking end cover 24 restricts the ball support column 23 in the mounting through hole 22a; the upper end of the mounting seat 22 is a disc-shaped structure, and an oil filling hole 22b communicating with the mounting through hole 22a is provided at the upper end of the disc-shaped structure. The lower end of the mounting seat 22 passes through the positioning hole 11 from the upper end of the platform bracket 1 and is detachably connected thereto; the top height of the ball 21 is always higher than the height of the platform bracket 1.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the principle and usage method of a ball platform for mold transfer of the present utility model are as follows: When in use, the mold is placed on the platform bracket 1. Since the height of the ball 21 is greater than the height of the upper end surface of the platform bracket 1, the mold only contacts the ball 21. At this time, when the mold is pushed, the ball 21 will rotate, so that the mold only receives the resistance brought by rolling friction, and this kind of resistance is extremely small. Only one operator can easily complete the transfer of the mold.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] AsFigure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the difference from the embodiment is that the locking end cover 24 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting seat 22, a height adjustment convex block 24a is provided at the corresponding position of the locking end cover 24 and the mounting through hole 22a, and an elastic gasket 25 is provided between the height adjustment convex block 24a and the ball support column 23. The height of the ball 21 can be adjusted by screwing in and out the locking end cover 24. In this embodiment, the positions of the balls 21 on both sides of the platform bracket 1 are adjusted upward by screwing in the locking end cover 24, so that the heights of the balls 21 on both sides of the platform bracket 1 are greater than the height of the inner balls 21, forming a conveying channel for the transfer of the mold inside. While improving the stability of the mold conveying stroke, it also avoids the possibility of the mold colliding with the outside; an elastic gasket 25 is provided at the lower end of the ball support column 23 to increase the contact buffer between the ball 21 and the mold, avoid damage to the ball 21, and improve its service life.

[0034] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
