[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a metal photo frame processing and forming mold, including a lower mold 1 and a fixing bolt 10, an upper mold 2 is arranged on the top of the lower mold 1, a metal photo frame 3 is arranged between the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, and a first side plate 4 is fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the upper half of the upper mold 2;

[0026] A second side plate 5 is fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the lower half of the upper mold 2, and a guide plate 6 is provided on one side of the second side plate 5. A clamping plate 7 is clamped inside the bottom end of the guide plate 6, and a fixing bar 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the clamping plate 7. The fixing bolt 10 passes through the fixing bar 9 and is threadedly connected to the lower mold 1. A positioning plate 8 is also fixedly installed on the lower mold 1 near the installation area of the clamping plate 7.

[0027] Preferably, two first positioning grooves 401 are symmetrically formed on the surface of the first side plate 4, and two second positioning grooves 501 are symmetrically formed on the surface of the second side plate 5. The bottom opening of the first positioning groove 401 is aligned with the top opening of the second positioning groove 501, and each of the first positioning groove 401 and the second positioning groove 501 is parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the upper mold 2. A top plate 601 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the guide plate 6, and two arc-shaped parallel protrusions 602 are fixedly mounted on one side of the top plate 601. The spacing between the two protrusions 602 matches the spacing between the two first positioning grooves 401 and the two second positioning grooves 501.

[0028] During specific use, when the upper mold 2 moves, it will drive the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 to move. As the upper mold 2 continues to approach the lower mold 1, the two groups of second positioning grooves 501 on the second side plate 5 will first dock with the two groups of bosses 602 on the guide plate 6, and then as the mold closing continues, the two groups of bosses 602 will pass through the second positioning grooves 501 and enter the first positioning grooves 401. In this way, when in use, the operator can judge whether the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are in an aligned state when the mold is closed by the movement trajectory of the bosses 602 in the second positioning grooves 501 and the first positioning grooves 401.

[0029] Preferably, a bayonet 603 is formed at the bottom center end of the guide plate 6, and an opening 604 is formed on one side of the guide plate 6 and communicates with the bayonet 603. The inner wall of each opening 604 is in movable contact with the outer wall of the fixing bar 9, and the bottom of the fixing bar 9 is in movable contact with the surface of the lower mold 1.

[0030] When in use, the fixing strip 9 is placed on the mounting area of the lower mold 1 and then fixed to the lower mold 1 by the fixing bolt 10, so that the clamping plate 7 can be mounted on the lower mold 1;

[0031] Working principle: Insert the snap-in 603 at the bottom of the guide plate 6 into the outer wall of the card plate 7, and the guide plate 6 can be installed on the lower mold 1 through this structure. The other side of the guide plate 6 will also rest against the outer wall of one side of the positioning plate 8. When the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are closed, the upper mold 2 will drive the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 to move. When the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 move, they will drive the corresponding first positioning groove 401 and the second positioning groove 501 to move, so that the first positioning groove 401 and the second positioning groove 501 will move along the outer wall of the boss 602. In this way, by observing the moving trajectory of the boss 602 in the first positioning groove 401 and the second positioning groove 501, it can be seen whether the upper mold 2 is aligned with the lower mold 1 when the mold is closed, so that the above structure can start the function of judging the alignment and proofreading.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
