A positioning pin 19 is symmetrically provided on the upper plane of the lower seat 1 near one end of the motor, and a positioning pin sensor is provided on the positioning pin 19 for sensing the mold.

[0030] Through the setting of this technical solution, the traction device can pull the mold to move, the guide device can guide the mold, and the clamping mechanism provides clamping force for the mold, thereby achieving the effect of automatically changing the mold and clamping the mold.

[0031] Example 2, the traction device includes a reduction motor 5, a driving gear 6, a driven gear group, a die lifter 3, a cylinder assembly and a pin 12. The reduction motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the lower seat 1 through a bracket, and the output end of the reduction motor 5 is sleeved with a driving gear 6. A driven gear group is correspondingly arranged below the driving gear 6. The cylinder assembly is slidably arranged on the two linear guide rails 2 through a slider, and the die lifter 3 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the two linear guide rails 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the linear guide rail 2 on the side close to the reduction motor 5 extends out of the plane of the lower seat 1, so that the cylinder assembly can completely withdraw from the plane of the lower seat 1 when retracting. The cylinder assembly can slide back and forth on the linear guide rail driven by the slider.

[0033] The driven gear set includes a first driven gear 71, a second driven gear 72 and a third driven gear 73. The first driven gear 71 and the driving gear 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper plane, the second driven gear 72 and the first driven gear 71 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the lower seat, and the third driven gear 73 and the driving gear 6 are symmetrically arranged on the other side of the lower seat 1. The driving gear 6, the first driven gear 71, the second driven gear 72 and the third driven gear 73 are connected by a gear chain.

[0034] In this embodiment, the driving gear 6, the first driven gear 71, the second driven gear 72 and the third driven gear 73 are connected by a gear chain. When the reduction motor 5 rotates, it can drive the driving gear 6 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving gear 6 can drive the first driven gear 71, the second driven gear 72 and the third driven gear 73 to rotate.

[0035] The driving gear 6 and the first driven gear 71 are protected by protective covers on their outer sides.

[0036] The cylinder assembly includes a chain clip 8, a connecting plate 9, a cylinder mounting seat 10 and a cylinder 11. The chain clip 8 has a T-shaped cross-section.

The chain clip 8 is arranged between the two sliders. The cylinder mounting seat 10 is fixedly provided on the upper plane of the connecting plate 9. The cylinder 11 is fixedly provided on the cylinder mounting seat 10. The piston end of the cylinder 11 is connected to a pin 12, and a traction lug sensor is provided on the pin 12. The cylinder assembly moves through a gear chain that passes through the chain clip 8. When the traction lug sensor senses the traction lug of the mold, the pin 12 on the movable end of the cylinder will be inserted into the traction lug of the mold, and the cylinder assembly will pull the mold to move.

[0037] In this embodiment, the chain clamp 8 has a T-shaped cross-section and is arranged between the two sliders. The upper plane of the chain clamp 8 is flush with the upper plane of the slider. The upper plane of the chain clamp 8 and the upper plane of the slider are provided with a connecting plate 9. The gear chain passes through the lower part of the chain clamp 8. When the chain rotates around the gear, it can drive the chain clamp 8 to rotate, which can drive the cylinder assembly to slide on the linear guide 2. Of course, the sliding displacement of the cylinder assembly is determined by the length of the linear guide 2. Limiting devices can also be provided at both ends of the linear guide 2 to prevent the cylinder assembly from moving excessively.

[0038] The die lifter 3 includes a roller, and the roller is driven to rise or fall by the oil circuit inside the die lifter 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mold lifter 3 is installed in a groove opened on the lower plane. When not in use, the roller of the mold lifter 3 is lower than the upper plane of the lower seat. When the oil circuit inside the mold lifter 3 is supplied with oil, the roller rises to above the upper plane of the lower seat 1, facilitating the movement of the mold on the upper plane of the lower seat 1.

[0040] The guide mechanism includes a guide block 13 and a guide wheel 14 . The guide block 13 and the guide wheel 14 are arranged at intervals and are parallel to the two linear guide rails 2 .

[0041] In this embodiment, guide blocks 13 and guide wheels 14 are arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction. Guide blocks 13 are arranged on the side away from the reduction motor 5, that is, the starting position of the mold movement to the lower seat 1. The deep hook ball bearings set in the guide wheels 14 are fixed to the surface of the lower seat 1, and the guide wheels 14 roll on the outside of the deep hook ball bearings. The guide blocks 13 and guide wheels 14 are arranged in a row and symmetrically on the outside of the two linear guide rails 2. The distance between the two guide devices is greater than the width of the mold.

[0042] The clamping mechanism includes a second cylinder 15, a pushing block 16 and a clamping mold body. The piston end of the second cylinder 15 is connected to the pushing block 16. The pushing block 16 is L-shaped. The bottom cross-section of the pushing block 16 is a convex structure 2. The short side of the connecting block is connected to the clamping mold body.

[0043] The clamp body includes a clamp base 17 and a clamp 18. The bottom cross-section of the clamp base 17 is a convex structure three. One end of the clamp base 17 is fixedly connected to the short side end of the push block 16, and the clamp 18 is fixedly connected to the clamp base 17.

[0044] The second and third convex structure are adapted to the bottom of the clamping groove 4 , and the bottom of the pushing block 16 and the clamp base 17 are slidably disposed inside the clamping groove 4 .

[0045] Specifically, there are four clamping mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the die lifter 3. The clamping mechanism is arranged between the guide wheel 14 and the guide wheel 14. Cylinder 2 15 sleeps above the clamping groove 4. The piston end of cylinder 2 15 is fixedly connected to the long side of the pushing block 16. The bottom of the pushing block 16 is adapted to the bottom of the clamping groove 4. The cross-section is a convex structure. The bottom of the pushing block 16 is slightly smaller than the bottom of the clamping groove 4. The bottom of the pushing block 16 can slide at the bottom of the clamping groove 4. The short side of the pushing block 16 is connected to the clamp base 17. The clamp base 17 is adapted to the bottom of the clamping groove 4. The clamp base 17 is slightly smaller than the bottom of the clamping groove 4 and can slide in the clamping groove 4. The clamp 18 is connected to the clamp base 17. In this embodiment, the clamp 18 is a circular body, and the front end of the clamping groove 4 is also set to a circular shape adapted to the clamp 18. When the piston end of cylinder 2 15 moves forward, it will push the clamping mechanism to move along the direction of the clamping groove 4.

[0046] A positioning pin 19 is symmetrically provided on the upper plane of the lower seat 1 near one end of the motor. The positioning pin 19 is provided with a sensing device for sensing the mold.

[0047] The positioning pin 19 is set on the outside of the mold lifter 3. When the mold moves to the position of the positioning pin 19, the sensing device set on the positioning pin senses the mold and transmits a signal to the traction device. The reduction motor 5 stops rotating and the mold also stops moving.

[0048] In this embodiment, a drag chain is also provided next to the linear guide rail 2, which is fixedly connected together through a bracket and a cylinder mounting seat, and is used to protect the air pipe and the wires, and allows the wires to move back and forth with the cylinder.

[0049] Example 3, a control system, including a traction system, a sensing system and a clamping system, wherein the traction system is used to issue instructions to traction the mold, the sensing system is used to sense the mold, and the clamping system issues instructions to clamp the mold.

[0050] The traction system, sensing system and clamping system are all connected through signal transmission. The traction system controls the rotation of the motor, and the sensing system is used to sense the mold. Specifically, after the traction ear sensor senses the traction ear, it transmits a signal to the traction system, and the cylinder pushes the pin 12 to insert into the traction ear. The traction system controls the motor to reverse. When the positioning pin sensor senses the mold, it transmits a signal to the clamping system, and the clamping system directs cylinder 2 to push the clamp 18 to clamp the mold.

[0051] Working principle: first move the mold-carrying trolley carrying the mold to the side of the lower seat to align it with the mold, start the device system, the reduction motor 5 starts to rotate, driving the gear set to rotate, the gear set drives the gear chain to rotate, and the gear chain drives the traction device to move along the linear guide 2. When the traction ear sensor senses the traction ear, the motor stops rotating and transmits a signal to the traction system. The traction system sends a command to the cylinder 11 to insert the cylinder pin 12 into the traction ear, and then feeds back the signal to the traction system. The traction system gives a signal, and the mold lifter 3 rises to above the upper plane of the lower seat. The motor reverses and drives the mold to move on the mold lifter 3 to the specified position. After the positioning pin sensor senses that the mold is in place, the sensing system transmits a signal to the motor in the traction system to stop the motor. The mold stops moving and the signal is transmitted to the traction system. The mold lifter 3 in the traction device drops below the upper plane of the lower seat, and the mold also drops to the lower plane of the lower seat. At this time, the clamping system receives the signal, and the cylinder 2 in the clamping device pushes the clamp 18 to clamp the mold. At this time, the mold change is completed and the press can start mold trial.

[0052] The mold traction system, mold sensing system and mold clamping system are all integrated into the same controller as the hydraulic press control system. Each system works together and is connected to each other through signals.

[0053] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
