Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a wax model splicing mold device, specifically to a wax model splicing equipment, and belongs to the field of mechanical engineering. Background Technology
[0002] A wax model is a mold made of wax, typically used for casting or creating models of other items. For example, in water meter casting, a wax model is used to create the water meter housing. In water meter casting, the wax model is usually divided into two parts to facilitate the removal of excess material from the inner cavity during the molding process. Each part is molded independently, so the two independent wax models need to be joined together to form a complete water pipe shape.
[0003] In existing technologies, the assembly of wax models first requires cleaning the surface to remove dust, oil, and other impurities. Then, the various parts of the wax model are positioned according to design requirements. An appropriate amount of adhesive is applied to the joint areas, ensuring even distribution and avoiding air bubbles and gaps. The parts are then tightly joined together, and appropriate pressure is applied to promote even distribution and curing of the adhesive. Furthermore, temperature and time must be controlled according to the adhesive's curing requirements to ensure complete curing. Current adhesive application is typically done manually, which can lead to adhesive leakage onto the wax model surface. Removing this surface adhesive can damage the wax model, rendering it unusable. Additionally, manual assembly and positioning of wax models suffers from inaccurate positioning and low work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, design a wax mold splicing device, realize automated production, and increase production efficiency.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A wax model assembly device includes an upper mold, a lower mold, a mold mounting structure, an adhesive dispensing module, a heating system, and a cooling system. The mold mounting structure includes an upper mounting block for mounting the upper mold, a lower mounting block for mounting the lower mold, and a driving component for driving the upper mounting block to move relative to the lower mounting block in the height direction. Wax models one and two to be assembled are respectively snapped into the upper mold and the lower mold. Wax model one placed in the lower mold includes an adhesive reservoir, and wax model two placed in the upper mold includes a snap-fit strip that snaps into the adhesive reservoir. The adhesive dispensing module includes a dispensing head and a telescopic arm. The dispensing head is fixedly installed in the telescopic arm, and the telescopic arm drives the dispensing head to move closer to or away from the lower mold. The heating system and the cooling system are embedded in the lower mold and heat or cool the wax model portion that is in contact with the adhesive reservoir when the upper mold and the lower mold are assembled.
[0007] Preferably, the upper mounting block includes a groove, and the mold mounting structure includes a positioning ring, a clamping plate, and a spring connected to the clamping plate installed in the groove; the upper mold is provided with a through hole 1, which is adapted and aligned with the positioning ring, and the top of the positioning ring is inserted into the through hole 1. The spring drives the clamping plate to move relative to the upper mold to clamp or release the upper mold.
[0008] Preferably, the upper mold and the lower mold include two or more locking grooves for locking wax mold one or wax mold two.
[0009] Preferably, the lower mold includes a semi-circular inner groove, the heating system includes a heating element and a temperature controller, and the cooling system includes a cooling water pipe and a water pump. The heating element and the cooling water pipe are arranged inside the semi-circular inner groove.
[0010] Preferably, the mold mounting structure includes a slide rail and rollers. The slide rail extends vertically, and the rollers are mounted on the side of the upper mounting block and slide directionally within the slide rail.
[0011] Preferably, the mold mounting structure includes a stud fastening structure, which includes a connecting block, a conveyor belt, a motor, two or more stud rotating wheels, hollow cylindrical guide rails, studs, through holes, and pulleys. The upper surface of the connecting block is provided with a rectangular groove, in which the conveyor belt, motor, and stud rotating wheels are all installed. The through holes are located at the bottom of the rectangular groove, pass through the connecting block, and correspond to the through holes of the upper mold. The two stud rotating wheels and the two hollow cylindrical guide rails located on the bottom surface of the connecting block correspond to the two through holes. The two stud rotating wheels are connected to the motor through the conveyor belt. The two studs are respectively connected to the two stud rotating wheels. The two pulleys are rotatably connected to the connecting block and move within the guide rails.
[0012] Preferably, the adhesive dripping module includes a moving wheel and a cylindrical track. The moving wheel is installed at the end of the telescopic arm and moves on the cylindrical track, which is vertically installed on the telescopic arm on the same horizontal plane.
[0013] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The upper mounting block is positioned by the positioning ring to ensure the smooth closing of the upper and lower molds. A clamping plate is set in the upper groove, and the upper mold is clamped by the internal spring. This structure can prevent the upper mold from falling off during the mold closing process, reduce the manual operation of positioning and clamping the upper mold, and improve the work efficiency of wax model splicing.
[0015] 2. By setting snap-fit grooves in the upper and lower molds, workers only need to snap the wax model into the corresponding mold grooves to quickly achieve the positioning and snap-fit of the wax model, and prevent the wax model from moving during mold closing, thus improving the quality of wax model splicing.
[0016] 3. A semi-circular inner groove is set at the mold closing point of the lower mold and the upper mold. The semi-circular inner groove and the glue storage tank of the wax mold are very close to each other. The heating system and the cooling system are installed in the semi-circular inner groove at the same time. After the mold is closed, the mold closing part can be heated in a concentrated manner, which improves the energy efficiency. In addition, the cooling water pipe can also cool the heating pipe when it is working, which improves the service life of the device.
[0017] 4. The structure of pulleys and slide rails enables the movement of the upper mold and also fixes the fixed parts of the upper mold, ensuring the stability of the upper mold during movement, improving the accuracy of mold closing between the upper and lower molds, and improving the splicing quality of wax mold assembly.
[0018] 5. Using stud fastening connection can reduce mechanical vibration and noise caused by movement. In addition, the stud fastening connection structure is simple and reliable, improving splicing efficiency and splicing quality.
[0019] 6. By setting up a stud fastening structure, the stud is smoothly transported to the mold fixing part, and the upper and lower molds are connected together after being closed. This prevents the wax mold from moving during subsequent production, improves the quality of wax mold splicing, reduces the operation of workers, and improves production efficiency.
[0020] 7. By enabling the movement of the dispensing head, manual dispensing is no longer required, thus automating the operation of the equipment. The dispensing system fixes the dispensing position, allowing for precise control of the amount of adhesive used, reducing production waste, and improving dispensing efficiency.

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a wax mold splicing mold device includes an upper mold 1, a lower mold 2, a mold mounting structure 3, an adhesive dripping module 4, a heating system 5, and a cooling system 6; the mold mounting structure 3 includes an upper mounting block 31 for mounting the upper mold 1, a lower mounting block 32 for mounting the lower mold 2, and a driving member 33 for driving the upper mounting block 31 to move relative to the lower mounting block 32 in the height direction.
[0036] After the upper mounting block 31 has a groove 311, the upper mold 1 is installed in the groove 311. The mold mounting structure 3 also includes a positioning ring 312 and a clamping plate 313 installed in the groove 311. The positioning ring 312 has a protruding and hollow hole structure for alignment with the through hole 11 of the upper mold 1. The protruding part of the positioning ring 312 is inserted into the through hole 11, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the upper mold 1 into the groove 311. The clamping plate 313 is connected to one end of the spring 314, and the other end of the spring 314 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 311. When the upper mold 1 needs to be installed into the groove 111, the clamping plate 313 abuts against the outer end of the upper mold 1 under the elastic force of the spring 314. To achieve a more secure clamping effect, two sets of springs 314 and clamping plates 313 can be provided. In addition, an intelligent control platform is provided, which can realize the mold closing operation of different sizes of molds by adjusting the clamping force and the position of the clamping plate 32. After the upper mold 1 is clamped and fixed, the lower mold 2 is placed in the lower mounting block 32. Under the drive of the hydraulic system, the driving component 33 moves the upper mounting block 31 to the lower mounting block 32, realizing the mold closing process of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.
[0037] like Figure 4-5 As shown, a wax model splicing mold device allows workers to snap wax model 71 and wax model 72 onto the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 respectively using snap-fit grooves 8 on the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2, thus securing the wax model 7. The heating pipe 51 of the heating system 5 and the cooling water pipe 61 of the cooling system 6 are positioned within a semi-circular inner groove 21. The semi-circular inner groove 21 is very close to the glue storage tank 721 of wax model 72 snapped into the lower mold 2, facilitating more concentrated heating or cooling of the splicing area of the wax model 7 by the heating pipe 51 and the cooling water pipe 61, improving energy efficiency. After the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 are closed, the heating pipe 51 starts working, and the heating temperature is precisely adjusted by the temperature controller 52 to heat the splicing area of the wax model to the required softening state. After heating, the cooling water pipe 61 is quickly activated, and the water pump 62 delivers cooling water to the cooling water pipe 61 to rapidly cool the heated splicing area of the wax model 7, ensuring its shape stability. In addition, the temperature controller 52 can detect the temperature inside the mold after mold closing, ensuring the splicing effect of the wax mold 7.
[0038] like Figure 6-8 As shown, the wax model 7 includes wax model one 71 and wax model two 72. Wax model one 71 and wax model two 72, when joined together, form the completed casting model. Wax model one 71 has a glue storage tank 711, and wax model two 72 includes a snap-fit strip 721, which is snapped and fixed in place. The snap-fit structure is simple and reliable, and no splicing residue will appear after the wax models are assembled. This eliminates the need for separate cleaning of the wax model surface, improving work efficiency.
[0039] like Figure 9-10As shown, the stud fastening structure 36 of the wax model splicing equipment includes: a connecting block 361, a conveyor belt 363, a motor 364, two or more stud rotating wheels 365, hollow cylindrical guide rails 366, pulleys 369, studs 367, and through holes 368. After the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are closed, the connecting block 361 of the stud fastener 36 moves upward to the mounting block 31 via the pulleys 369 under the drive of the hydraulic system. The two hollow cylindrical guide rails 366 enter the two positioning rings 312. When the guide rail 366 contacts the upper surface of the upper mold 1, the stud fastener 36 stops moving. Simultaneously, the motor 364 starts working, driving the two stud rotating wheels 365 to rotate via the conveyor belt 363. Under the rotation of the stud rotating wheels, the stud 367 moves downwards, passing through the hollow cylindrical guide rail 366 and engaging with the through holes 11 of the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2. This causes the upper mold 1 to move closer to the lower mold 2, achieving a fastening effect. When it reaches the bottom surface of the lower mold 2, the motor 364 stops working, completing the fastening of the stud 367. The stud fastening structure 36 prevents mold misalignment due to manual operation, which could affect the splicing effect of the wax mold 7. Furthermore, the stud fastening connection is simple and reliable, absorbs some vibration, and further improves production quality.
[0040] like Figure 11 As shown, the adhesive dispensing module 4 of the wax model assembly equipment includes a dispensing head 41, a telescopic arm 42, a moving wheel 43, and a cylindrical track 44. The dispensing head 41 is fixedly installed on the telescopic arm 42 and can move closer to or further away from the lower mold 2 along with the telescopic arm 42. The moving wheel 43 is installed at the end of the telescopic arm 42 and moves on the cylindrical track 44. The cylindrical track 44 is vertically installed on the telescopic arm 42 on the same horizontal plane, realizing multi-directional movement of the dispensing head 41. This allows the dispensing head 41 to drip adhesive into the glue storage tank 711 of the wax model 71. In addition, the structure of the telescopic arm 42 and the moving wheel 43 ensures the smooth movement of the dispensing head 41. Furthermore, the adhesive dispensing module 4 is connected to an intelligent control platform to control the amount of adhesive dispensed by the dispensing head 41, avoiding excessive adhesive use and preventing excess adhesive from overflowing and adhering to the surface of the wax model 7 after assembly, thus affecting the quality of the wax model.
