[0002] Molds are various shapes and tools used in industrial production to obtain desired products through methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting, forging, smelting, and stamping. In short, a mold is a tool used to create shaped objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. Currently, smart washing machines are controlled via touchscreens. To improve production efficiency, touchscreens of the same specifications can be mass-produced using molds.

[0003] Referring to the existing patent publication number: CN207432594U, a mold for preparing a washing machine panel includes a lower mold base. A water tank is provided on one side of the lower mold base, a water outlet pipe is provided on one side of the water tank, and a water pump is provided on the other side of the water outlet pipe.

This utility model can clean the lower mold in time after use, prevent residue from clumping, and make it faster and more convenient for the next use.

[0004] However, in actual use, existing washing machine panel molds require mold closing after processing the workpiece to avoid the influence of external factors. However, after the mold is closed, the mold cores are in a close fit, which makes the mold cores easy to be damaged by bumps and vibrations during transportation or movement. The protection effect is poor and the mold closing operation is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a washing machine panel mold that facilitates mold closing. This invention, through the cooperation of a conversion component and a limiting component, can switch between processing and mold closing states. During mold closing, the mold is supported by guide blocks one and two and fixed under the action of the limiting component. This ensures a certain distance between the mold cores, preventing them from being too tightly fitted, improving protection, and facilitating mold closing.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A washing machine panel mold that facilitates mold closing, comprising:

[0008] The lower mold and the upper mold are separate components that together form the whole mold.

[0009] Guide block one, which is mounted on the surface of the lower mold and is movably mounted in the horizontal direction via a guide component;

[0010] Guide block two is fixedly installed on the lower part of the upper mold. The part of guide block two that can contact guide block one is constructed as a fitting inclined surface.

[0011] The surface of the upper mold is equipped with a limiting component, and the surface of the guide block is equipped with a movable conversion component.

[0012] The present invention further comprises the guide component including: a groove, an elastic element, and a slider;

[0013] The slide grooves are all constructed on the surface of the lower mold, the elastic elements are all installed inside the slide grooves, the sliders are all fitted and connected to the slide grooves at the movable ends of the elastic elements, and the sliders are connected and fixed to the guide blocks.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the limiting component includes: a slide rod, a slide sleeve, and a limiting part;

[0015] The slide rods are all installed on both sides of the surface of the upper mold, the slide sleeves are all fitted onto the surface of the slide rods, and the limiting parts are all installed on the surface of the slide sleeves.

[0016] The present invention further comprises the conversion assembly including: a rotating component and a conversion part;

[0017] All rotating components are connected to the inner side of guide block one, and all conversion parts are mounted on the surface of the rotating components and located inside guide block one.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the conversion part and the guide block are at the same horizontal height, and the conversion part is located below the limiting part.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a lower base is fixed to the lower part of the lower mold, and the lower mold has a lower mold core in its internal structure.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that an upper base is fixed to the upper part of the upper mold, and the internal structure of the upper mold has an upper mold core that cooperates with the lower mold core.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can switch between processing state and mold closing state by combining the conversion component and the limiting component. When the mold is closed, the mold can be supported by the guide block one and the guide block two and fixed under the action of the limiting component. This allows the mold cores to have a certain distance between them, so as to avoid the mold cores being too tightly fitted, improve the protection effect, and facilitate mold closing.

[0022] 1. This washing machine panel mold, which facilitates mold closing, is equipped with guide block one, guide block two, and guide components that work together. When processing the washing machine panel, the upper mold moves up and down, allowing guide block two to align with guide block one. Under the action of the cooperating inclined surface, guide block one can be pushed to move horizontally. At this time, guide block one will drive the slider to move in the slide groove and compress the elastic element, thereby enabling the movement of the mold to have better guidance and improve accuracy.

[0023] 2. This washing machine panel mold that facilitates mold closing is equipped with a conversion component and a limiting component that can switch between processing and mold closing states. During processing, the conversion part can be unfolded, and during the downward movement of the upper mold, the limiting part can drive the sliding sleeve to move upward on the surface of the sliding rod. When the mold is closed, the conversion part can be retracted into the guide block one, so that the mold is supported by the guide block one and the guide block two during mold closing, and the guide block one is fixed under the action of the limiting component. This allows for a certain distance between the mold cores to avoid the mold cores being too tightly fitted, improves the protective effect, and facilitates mold closing. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0032] In the description of this patent, it should be understood that the terms “center,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this patent and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this patent.

[0033] In the description of this patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-5 A washing machine panel mold for easy mold closing includes: a lower mold 2 and an upper mold 4, which are separately arranged and together form the mold body; a guide block 5, which is movably mounted on the surface of the lower mold 2 via a guide component. The design of the guide component allows the guide block 5 to move stably in the horizontal direction, which not only ensures the smoothness of the mold closing process, but also enhances the overall stability of the mold in the closed state, reducing production problems caused by mold shaking or misalignment; and a guide block 12, which is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the upper mold 4, and the guide block 12 can connect with the guide block 5. The contacting parts are constructed with fitted inclined surfaces. The inclined surface design between guide block 1 5 and guide block 2 12 allows the upper mold 4 to automatically adjust its position during descent, ensuring precise alignment between the upper and lower molds. A limiting component is installed on the surface of the upper mold 4, and a movable conversion component is installed on the surface of guide block 1 5. Through the setting of the limiting component and the conversion component, the mold can complete the necessary adjustments and preparations before mold closing, such as adjusting the mold gap and ensuring that each component is in the correct position, thereby improving mold closing accuracy, reducing mold closing resistance, and enhancing mold stability.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 3-5The guiding components include: a slide groove 16, an elastic element 13, and a slider 15. The slide groove 16 is constructed on the surface of the lower mold 2, the elastic element 13 is installed inside the slide groove 16, and the slider 15 is attached to the slide groove 16 at the movable end of the elastic element 13. The slider 15 is also connected and fixed to the guide block 5. With this implementation, when the upper mold 4 moves the guide block 12 downward, the guide block 12 can push the guide block 5 to move horizontally under the action of the inclined surface. At this time, the guide block 5 can drive the slider 15 to move in the slide groove 16 and compress the elastic element 13, thereby improving the stability of the guide block 5's movement, reducing offset, and improving accuracy.

[0036] Specifically, refer to Figure 3-4 The limiting components include: slide rod 10, slide sleeve 11, and limiting part 8; slide rod 10 is installed on both sides of the surface of upper mold 4, slide sleeve 11 is sleeved on the surface of slide rod 10, and limiting part 8 is installed on the surface of slide sleeve 11. In this embodiment, when the mold is closed, the mold is supported by guide block 1 5 and guide block 2 12. When not being processed, the limiting part 8 can move downward under its own weight or external force to fix guide block 1 5 under the action of limiting part 8, so that there can be a certain gap between the mold cores to avoid the mold cores being too tightly fitted and to improve the protection effect.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-4 The conversion assembly includes a rotating member 14 and a conversion part 6. The rotating member 14 is connected to the inner side of the guide block 5, and the conversion part 6 is installed on the surface of the rotating member 14 and located inside the guide block 5. In this embodiment, during processing, the conversion part 6 will be flipped and unfolded by the rotating member 14. At this time, the conversion part 6 can abut against the limiting part 8, thereby limiting the position of the limiting part 8 and preventing it from moving downward and affecting the closing of the mold. Then, when the mold is closed, the conversion part 6 can be closed inside the guide block 5. At this time, the limiting part 8 can move downward to fix the guide block 5. It is more flexible and easy to operate.

[0038] Furthermore, the conversion part 6 and the guide block 5 are at the same horizontal level, and the conversion part 6 is located below the limiting part 8. This design ensures that the conversion part 6 remains horizontal with the guide block 5 when it is in the unfolded or retracted state, so that the limiting part 8 can move more smoothly on the conversion part 6 and avoid affecting the movement of the limiting part 8.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-4The lower mold 2 is fixed with a lower base 1 at its lower part, and the lower mold 2 has a lower mold core 7 inside. The upper mold 4 is fixed with an upper base 3 at its upper part, and the upper mold 4 has an upper mold core 9 inside that cooperates with the lower mold core 7. In this embodiment, the lower base 1 and the upper base 3 provide a stable support base for the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 4, respectively, and provide installation. The upper and lower mold cores can fit tightly together when the mold is closed to form a complete cavity for processing the washing machine panel.

[0040] Working Principle: When using this invention, the upper and lower molds are first installed. Then, during the processing of the washing machine panel, the upper mold 4 is driven up and down by the drive mechanism. During processing, the conversion part 6 will be rotated and unfolded via the rotating part 14, so that the upper mold 4 can move the guide block 12 along with it as it moves downwards. At this time, the guide block 12 can be aligned with the guide block 5 and, under the action of the cooperating inclined surface, can push the guide block 5 to move horizontally. The guide block 5 will then drive the slider 15 to move within the groove 16 and compress the elastic element 13, thus enabling the mold movement to have good guiding force. To improve accuracy, during the downward movement of the upper mold 4, the limiting part 8 will abut against the conversion part 6, allowing the limiting part 8 to drive the sliding sleeve 11 to move upward on the surface of the sliding rod 10. Subsequently, during mold closing, the conversion part 6 can be retracted into the guide block 1 5, so that the mold is supported by the guide block 1 5 and the guide block 2 12 during mold closing. When not being processed, the limiting part 8 can move downward under its own weight or external force to fix the guide block 1 5 under the action of the limiting part 8, thereby allowing a certain gap between the mold cores to avoid the mold cores from being too tightly fitted and to improve the protective effect.

[0041] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
