[0032] Reference below Figures 1 to 3 The mold opening device of the present application is described in detail.
[0033] It should be noted that the first horizontal direction is the front-to-back direction, and the second horizontal direction is the left-to-right direction.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 The mold opening device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a mold opening component 10 and a conveying line (not shown in the figure).
[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mold opening assembly 10 includes a frame 100, a driver 200 and a first clamping structure 300. A clamping groove 301 extending in the front-to-back direction is formed on the first clamping structure 300. The clamping groove 301 has a preset groove surface 322a extending horizontally. The driver 200 is arranged on the frame 100 and connected to the first clamping structure 300. The driver 200 is used to drive the first clamping structure 300 to perform lifting and lowering movements; the conveyor line extends in the front-to-back direction and passes through the bottom of the first clamping structure 300. The conveyor line can convey the mold 500 in the front-to-back direction so that the edge of the upper mold 510 of the mold 500 is passed through the clamping groove 301 and is located directly above the preset groove surface 322a.
[0036] It should be noted that the reference Figure 3 The mold 500 includes an upper mold 510 and a lower mold 520 . The edges of the upper mold 510 and the lower mold 520 are provided with an annular edge, and the edge on the upper mold 510 is a first edge 511 , and the edge on the lower mold 520 is a second edge 521 .
[0037] When the mold opening device of this embodiment is working, the driver 200 can drive the first clamping structure 300 to perform lifting and lowering movements so that the clamping groove 301 of the first clamping structure 300 and the first edge 511 of the upper mold 510 are on the same horizontal plane; the mold 500 can be carried on the conveyor line, and under the conveyance of the conveyor line, the mold 500 can move in the front and back directions so that the first edge 511 of the upper mold 510 is inserted into the clamping groove 301; under the drive of the driver 200, the first clamping structure 300 can move upward, so that the preset groove surface 322a of the clamping groove 301 can push the upper mold 510 to move upward, so that the upper mold 510 and the lower mold 520 are separated, thereby completing the mold opening of the mold 500.
[0038] It is understandable that when the mold opening device of the present invention is in operation, the operator only needs to place the mold 500 on the conveyor line, and the conveyor line can automatically transport the mold 500 to the mold opening assembly 10, so that the mold opening assembly 10 can automatically separate the upper mold 510 from the lower mold 520 to complete the mold opening of the mold 500. Therefore, the mold opening device of the present invention can automatically complete the mold opening of the mold 500, reducing the labor intensity of the operator and saving time and effort.
[0039] It should be noted that if only one clamping groove 301 is provided on the first clamping structure 300, in this case, when the driver 200 drives the first clamping structure 300 to drive the upper mold 510 to move upward, only one side of the upper mold 510 can withstand the upward thrust, thereby causing the upper mold 510 to tilt as a whole, and then the upper mold 510 may be detached from the clamping groove 301.
[0040] Based on the above problems, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 Two clamping slots 301 are formed on the first clamping structure 300. The two clamping slots 301 are distributed along the left and right directions. The notch of the clamping slot 301 on the left side faces right, and the notch of the clamping slot 301 on the right side faces left.
[0041] Furthermore, in the process of the conveyor line transporting the mold 500 along the front-to-back direction, the left end of the first edge 511 of the upper mold 510 can be inserted into the left-side clamping groove 301, and the right end of the first edge 511 can be inserted into the right-side clamping groove 301. Then, under the drive of the driver 200, the preset groove surfaces 322a of the two clamping grooves 301 can respectively apply an upward thrust to the left and right ends of the first edge 511 to drive the upper mold 510 to move upward, thereby completing the separation of the upper mold 510 and the lower mold 520.
[0042] It can be understood that by setting two clamping grooves 301 distributed along the left and right sides, when the first clamping structure 300 drives the upper mold 510 to move upward, the left and right ends of the upper mold 510 can both be subjected to upward thrust, so as to reduce the probability of the upper mold 510 tilting.
[0043] In order to form the clamping groove 301 on the first clamping structure 300, in some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first clamping structure 300 includes a mounting plate 310 and two clamping blocks 320. The two clamping blocks 320 are distributed at the lower end of the mounting plate 310 along the left and right directions. The clamping block 320 includes a connecting portion 321 and a limiting portion 322. The connecting portion 321 is connected to the mounting plate 310. The two limiting portions 322 are respectively arranged on the side close to the two connecting portions 321. A clamping groove 301 is formed between the limiting portion 322 and the mounting plate 310, and the upper end surface of the limiting portion 322 forms a preset groove surface 322a.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driver 200 is a cylinder, which is disposed on the frame 100 , and an output end of the cylinder is connected to the mounting plate 310 of the first clamping structure 300 .
[0045] It is understandable that the cylinder has a simple structure and is inexpensive.
[0046] It should be noted that when the cylinder is working, the stroke of driving the first clamping structure 300 to move up and down is certain. However, for molds 500 of different specifications, the height of the first edge 511 in the upper mold 510 is different.
[0047] In order to enable the mold opening device of the present invention to complete the mold opening of molds 500 of various specifications, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cylinder is arranged on the frame 100 in an adjustable manner along the vertical direction.
[0048] It can be understood that for molds 500 of different specifications, the staff can adjust the height of the cylinder accordingly so that when the first clamping structure 300 is in the lowest position, the first edge 511 of the upper mold 510 can be just on the same horizontal plane as the clamping groove 301, so that the mold opening device of this embodiment can complete the mold opening of molds 500 of various specifications.
[0049] In order to achieve the adjustable height of the cylinder, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The frame 100 includes a movable plate 110 and multiple guide columns 120. The guide columns 120 extend in the vertical direction. The movable plate 110 can be slidably mounted on the guide columns 120 in the vertical direction. The cylinder is arranged on the movable plate 110; the first clamping structure 300 can be slidably mounted on the guide columns 120 in the vertical direction.
[0050] It is understandable that since the cylinder is provided on the movable plate 110 and the movable plate 110 is slidably mounted on the guide column 120 in the vertical direction, the staff can adjust the position of the cylinder in the vertical direction by adjusting the position of the movable plate 110 in the vertical direction.
[0051] It should be noted that for some molds 500, the connection between the upper mold 510 and the lower mold 520 is relatively tight. In this case, when the driver 200 drives the upper mold 510 to move upward through the first clamping structure 300, there is a situation where the lower mold 520 moves upward along with the upper mold 510, thereby causing the mold 500 to fail to open.
[0052] Based on the above problems, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The mold opening assembly 10 also includes a second clamping structure 400, which is arranged on the frame 100 and located on the lower side of the first clamping structure 300. A contact portion 421 is formed on the second clamping structure 400, and the contact portion 421 is used to abut against the upper end surface of the edge of the lower mold 520 of the mold 500.
[0053] It can be understood that, in the process of the conveyor line transporting the mold 500 along the front-to-back direction, when the first edge 511 of the upper mold 510 is inserted into the clamping groove 301, the second edge 521 of the lower mold 520 can be just located on the lower side of the abutment 421, so that, in the process of the driver 200 driving the upper mold 510 to move upward through the first clamping structure 300, the lower end of the abutment 421 can limit the second edge 521 to prevent the lower mold 520 from moving upward with the upper mold 510, so that the upper mold 510 and the lower mold 520 can be separated smoothly, and then the mold opening device of this embodiment can successfully complete the mold opening of the mold 500.
[0054] In the process of the driver 200 driving the upper mold 510 to move upward through the first clamping structure 300, in order to better limit the lower mold 520 in the vertical direction, in a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 The mold opening assembly 10 includes two second clamping structures 400 , which are distributed along the left-right direction. Abutment portions 421 are respectively formed on the adjacent sides of the two second clamping structures 400 .
[0055] It can be understood that by setting two second clamping structures 400 distributed along the left and right sides, the two second clamping structures 400 respectively limit the left and right ends of the second edge 521 in the vertical direction, so as to further reduce the probability of the lower mold 520 following the upper mold 510 to move upward.
[0056] It should be noted that, for molds 500 of different specifications, the heights of the second edge 521 on the lower mold 520 are not the same.
[0057] In order to enable the mold opening device of this embodiment to adapt to molds 500 of various specifications, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second clamping structure 400 is slidably provided on the frame 100 along the vertical direction.
[0058] Furthermore, for molds 500 of different specifications, the staff can adjust the horizontal height of the second clamping structure 400 according to the horizontal height of the second edge 521 of the lower mold 520 of the mold 500, so that the abutment portion 421 of the second clamping structure 400 can be located above the level of the second edge 521.
[0059] In a further embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The second clamping structure 400 includes a threaded support member 410 and an abutment member 420. The threaded support member 410 is threadedly sleeved on the guide column 120, and the abutment member 420 is provided on the threaded support member 410; the adjacent ends of the two abutment members 420 respectively form an abutment portion 421.
[0060] Furthermore, the staff rotates the threaded support 410 to enable the threaded support 410 to move in the vertical direction along the guide column 120, thereby achieving position adjustment of the abutment 420 in the vertical direction.
[0061] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
