[0003] Steering wheels, a type of automotive accessory, are almost all made using foam molds. Specifically, a steering wheel consists of an inner metal frame and a foam outer layer covering the metal frame. During production, the metal frame is placed into a foam mold so that the foam outer layer is integrally formed on the outside of the metal frame.
[0004] Steering wheel structures vary between different models from the same manufacturer, and steering wheel structures also differ between different manufacturers. In the past, a set of foam molds was designed and produced for each steering wheel model.
[0005] However, this method of designing a matching foam mold for each steering wheel has the following problems: when changing production, the foam mold needs to be repositioned and installed on the foaming machine. During the changeover process, the foaming machine is shut down, leading to reduced production efficiency. Furthermore, the installation and fixing of the foam mold is cumbersome, significantly increasing the workload of workers. To improve the installation efficiency of the foam mold, the rapid mold assembly structure proposed in this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

Two positioning grooves are spaced apart on the same side of the bottom surface of the lower template, and the distance between the two positioning grooves is equal to the distance between the two positioning members. Several through holes are also provided on the lower template, and several screw holes are provided on the base. The lower template is used to slide relative to the base so that when the two positioning members are respectively accommodated in the two positioning grooves, each through hole is aligned with each screw hole. Each locking rod is used to pass through each through hole and be screwed into each screw hole to fix the lower template to the base.
[0010] Optionally, the positioning element includes a positioning block and a locking pin. The locking pin passes through the positioning block and is screwed onto the base so that the positioning block is fixed on the base. The positioning block is used to be accommodated in the positioning groove.
[0011] Optionally, the positioning component further includes two positioning posts, and the positioning block has two positioning holes. Both positioning posts are disposed on the base, and the two positioning posts pass through the two positioning holes respectively.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quick-assembly mold structure 10 includes a lower mold plate 100 and a support assembly 200. The support assembly 200 includes a base 210, two positioning members 220, and several locking rods 230. The base 210 is used to be mounted on a foaming machine. The two positioning members 220 are spaced apart on the same side of the top surface of the base 210. Two positioning grooves 110 are spaced apart on the same side of the bottom surface of the lower mold plate 100, and the distance between the two positioning grooves 110 is equal to the distance between the two positioning members 220. Several through holes 120 are also provided on the lower mold plate 100, and several screw holes are provided on the base 210. The lower mold plate 100 is used to slide relative to the base 210 so that when the two positioning members 220 are respectively accommodated in the two positioning grooves 110, the through holes 120 are aligned with the screw holes one by one. Each locking rod 230 is used to pass through the through holes 120 and be screwed into the screw holes to fix the lower mold plate 100 to the base 210.
[0033] It should be noted that the base 210 is used to install and fix it on the foaming machine. The foaming mold can then be quickly positioned and fixed by changing the lower template 100 of different foaming molds. Specifically, two positioning pieces 220 are installed on the top surface of the base 210, and the two positioning pieces 220 are located on the same side of the base 210. Two positioning grooves 110 are formed on the bottom surface of the lower template 100 on the same side. The distance between the two positioning grooves 110 is equal to the distance between the two positioning pieces 220. Thus, the base 210 is a structure fixedly installed on the foaming machine. The position of the base 210 on the foaming machine remains unchanged. When it is necessary to change the foaming mold, the lower template 100 of the corresponding foaming mold is placed on the base 210, and then pushed to slide the lower template 100 relative to the base 210. This allows the two positioning members 220 to be respectively accommodated in the two positioning slots 110, enabling quick and accurate positioning of the lower template 100 and the base 210. Then, each locking rod 230 passes through each through hole 120 and is screwed into each screw hole, thus fixing the lower template 100 on the base 210. This allows the lower template 100 to be quickly and accurately positioned and fixed on the base 210, effectively reducing the time required for changing foaming molds, reducing downtime of the foaming machine, and improving its production efficiency.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning member 220 includes a positioning block 221 and a locking pin 222. The locking pin 222 passes through the positioning block 221 and is screwed onto the base 210 so that the positioning block 221 is fixed on the base 210. The positioning block 221 is used to be accommodated in the positioning groove 110.
[0035] It should be noted that, for example, the locking pin 222 is a bolt. The locking pin 222 passes through the positioning block 221 and is then screwed onto the base 210, so that the positioning block 221 is fixed on the base 210.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning member 220 further includes two positioning posts 223, and the positioning block 221 has two positioning holes 2211. Both positioning posts 223 are disposed on the base 210, and the two positioning posts 223 pass through the two positioning holes 2211 respectively.
[0037] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the fixing of the positioning block 221 to the base 210, two positioning posts 223 are provided to position the positioning block 221. Specifically, the two positioning posts 223 are installed at intervals on the base 210. When installing the positioning block 221, it is only necessary to ensure that the two positioning posts 223 are inserted into the two positioning holes 2211 respectively, so that the positioning block 221 is aligned with the base 210. Then, the locking post 222 can fix the positioning block 221 to the base 210.
[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning block 221 is provided with a positioning angle. Specifically, since the lower template 100 slides relative to the base 210 when aligning with it, a positioning angle is provided on the positioning block 221 to ensure that the positioning block 221 is accurately inserted into the positioning groove 110 for positioning. In one embodiment, the included angle E of the positioning angle is 50° to 90°. For example, the included angle E of the positioning angle can also be 60°, 70°, or 80°. Correspondingly, the included angle between the two inner sidewalls of the positioning groove 110 is consistent with the included angle of the positioning angle. Further, in one embodiment, the positioning angle is provided with a rounded corner to prevent the positioning angle from being too sharp and scratching the worker during installation and fixing.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the support assembly 200 further includes a wear-resistant plate 240, which is disposed on the base 210, and the lower template 100 is disposed on the wear-resistant plate 240.
[0040] It should be noted that the base 210 is a structure fixed to the foaming machine and does not need to be disassembled, while the lower mold plates 100 of different foaming molds slide and rub against each other on the base 210 during production changes. To prevent the base 210 from being worn, a wear-resistant plate 240 with a thickness between 7mm and 10mm is installed on the base 210. For example, the thickness of the wear-resistant plate 240 can also be 8mm, 8.5mm, or 9mm. In one embodiment, the wear-resistant plate 240 is made of wear-resistant steel. In this way, even if the wear-resistant plate 240 is worn, it can be replaced instead of directly replacing the base 210, thereby reducing material costs.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the wear-resistant plate 240 has a plurality of clearance holes 241, and each locking rod 230 passes through a clearance hole 241. In this way, it is ensured that the locking rod 230 can be smoothly screwed and fixed to the screw hole.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of clamping grooves 212 are provided on the outer side wall of the base 210 so that the base 210 is fixed on the foaming machine by clamping the inner side wall of the clamping grooves 212 with a clamp.
[0043] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the base 210 is reliably fixed on the foaming machine, multiple clamping grooves 212 are provided on the outer side wall of the base 210. For example, four clamping grooves 212 are provided, two of which are located on the front side of the base 210 and the remaining two are located on the rear side of the base 210. This facilitates the clamping and fixing of the base 210 with bolts or other clamps.
[0044] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Unless otherwise specifically defined, the installation / fixing / setting mentioned in this utility model can be understood to include, but is not limited to, locking and fixing with screws / bolts, and welding. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
