Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of injection mold accessories, specifically relating to a mold information acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the market uses two methods to collect production data for injection molds, blow molds, vacuum forming molds, and stamping molds. One method is a mechanical counter, which requires manual recording, leading to data inaccuracies and delays. This results in inaccurate production analysis and high labor costs for enterprises. The other method is a network counter, which is too bulky and only suitable for some large molds. It is not suitable for small molds, and its installation lacks universality. The mold needs to be re-milled and drilled for installation (this work needs to be done by the mold supplier, resulting in high costs for transportation, CNC machining, and fitter work). Existing mold counters do not have a display device and cannot directly display the counting information. Therefore, it is very important to obtain a mold information collection device that overcomes the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a mold information acquisition device, including a control module, a signal triggering device electrically connected to the control module, a display screen connected to the control module, and a display switch connecting the control module and the display screen, wherein pressing the display switch turns on the display screen;

[0004] The signal triggering device receives trigger data and transmits the information to the control module. The display switch is a non-locking switch; the display screen is normally black. When data needs to be viewed, pressing the display switch turns the screen on, and releasing it automatically causes the display switch to pop up, and the screen automatically turns off after a certain period of time.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, this utility model is equipped with a display screen, which can display mold information by simply pressing the display switch when data collection information is needed. This is more intuitive and provides timely prompts for mold production problems, allowing users to understand the production problems more intuitively and resolve them in a timely manner.

[0006] The display switch also has the following function: pressing and holding the display switch for more than 3 seconds can reset the subtotal to zero (without affecting the total count), which is convenient for statistics.

[0007] The signal triggering device includes a microswitch electrically connected to the control module and a striker that controls the operation of the microswitch contacts. It also includes a reset element that acts on the striker to prevent the striker from acting on the contacts when no force is applied. The reset element may be a spring, disposed between the striker and the housing.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, this utility model transmits information through a striker and a micro switch, and can convert the information into a programming language. The counting principle is a repetitive opening and closing motion: the striker hits the switch (the dwell time is the beat) - the striker leaves the switch (the time to take the product out of the mold cavity) - the striker hits the switch (the two actions together constitute one production cycle).

[0009] This also includes an anti-tamper button that works in conjunction with the control module. The anti-tamper button is at least partially positioned to limit the movement of the mold information acquisition device. When the anti-tamper button is removed from its mounting position, this information is transmitted to the control module, which then uploads the data generated by the signal triggering device and the removal information. The anti-tamper button is a lockable switch.

[0010] When this utility model is installed on the mold, the anti-tamper button is in the pressed state. At this time, the software is activated for remote control and normal use. If the screws on the mold information acquisition device are loosened or removed, the anti-tamper button will automatically pop up. The control module will process the issue, and the software will receive a removal prompt and data upload action to prevent data loss. Furthermore, the counting function of the mold information acquisition device will be disabled if the software does not authorize this utility model to unlock.

[0011] It also includes a power button that connects the control module and the power supply. The power button is a lockable switch. The function of the power button is that it cannot be turned on or off after being installed on the mold. It must be removed for operation. The operation is to press the power button. In case of unauthorized removal, the anti-tamper button will be triggered first.

[0012] The device also includes a housing with a groove for mounting a display screen, and a transparent panel covering the groove. The transparent panel is connected to the housing via an adhesive material. The housing includes an upper cover and a lower cover, which are connected by snap-fit ​​or ultrasonic welding, and the connection is sealed. This allows the screen to display information and protects the internal electrical components from water damage. A portion of the transparent panel is connected to the upper cover with adhesive material, and the connection displays an ID QR code, logo, and device name.

[0013] Sealing silicone gaskets are provided at the bottom screws of the casing and at the power button to effectively prevent water from entering the box and damaging the electrical components.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure and the signal triggering device adopts a mechanical striker structure, which increases the accuracy and reliability of the counter. Attached Figure Description
