[0016] Figure 1 This is a simplified diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a mold making device, which includes a horizontal support plate 1, a main body mechanism, and a lifting and pressing mechanism. The lower surface of the horizontal support plate 1 is suitable for being placed flat on the mold. At least one through mounting groove 11, 12 is formed on the horizontal support plate 1. The design of the horizontal support plate 1 allows the entire device to be placed stably on the mold, ensuring the operating accuracy of the engraving machine. The through mounting groove 11, 12 provides flexibility for the installation of the main body mechanism, allowing the engraving machine to be adjusted in different positions as needed, improving the convenience and adaptability of operation.

[0019] The main structure includes an engraving machine and a lower plate 35. The engraving machine includes a main body 31, a drill bit 32 extending from the main body 31, and elastic support members 33 and 34 connected to the main body. The upper ends of the elastic support members 33 and 34 are connected to the main body 31, and the lower ends are fixedly mounted on the lower plate 35. The lower plate 35 is installed in the mounting slots 11 and 12, and the lower plate 35 forms a hole 351 for the drill bit 32 of the engraving machine to pass through. The engraving machine is fixed to the lower plate 35 by the elastic support members 33 and 34, which can effectively reduce the impact of vibration on the engraving accuracy during the engraving process. The hole formed by the lower plate is the channel for the drill bit, ensuring that the drill bit can pass smoothly and achieve precise engraving.

[0020] The lifting and pressing mechanism 2 can be raised and lowered to press against the top of the engraving machine. The lifting and pressing mechanism 2 is driven by the deformation of the elastic support members 33 and 34 to raise and lower the drill bit 32. By controlling the top of the engraving machine through the lifting and pressing mechanism 2, the raising and lowering of the drill bit 32 can be precisely adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the engraving depth. The lifting and lowering action is driven by the deformation of the elastic support members 33 and 34, making the design of the entire mechanism simpler and more intuitive, reducing the difficulty of operation. Especially in multi-layer texture engraving, this mechanism helps to accurately control the engraving depth of each layer.

[0021] The elastic support components 33 and 34 provided in this embodiment not only play a buffering and protective role in the device, but also, through cooperation with the lifting and pressing mechanism 2, enable precise adjustment of the engraving depth, enhancing the applicability of the device in high-precision applications. This dual-function design ensures operational stability while improving the accuracy of the engraving process.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower plate 35 is made of a transparent material. The transparent material of the lower plate 35 makes the entire engraving process more intuitive and transparent, allowing the operator to observe the engraving process at any time, reducing the chance of errors. Simultaneously, the transparent material makes the device more adaptable to operating environments requiring high precision, ensuring greater controllability. For example, the lower plate 35 can be made of acrylic material. Acrylic material has good transparency, hardness, and flatness. Using it to replace an opaque metal base not only improves the visibility of the operation but also reduces the overall weight, facilitating the movement and operation of the device. At the same time, the surface flatness of acrylic ensures the smooth operation of the engraving machine, contributing to improved engraving accuracy.

[0023] Optionally, the lifting and pressing mechanism includes a left connecting plate 21, a right connecting plate 22, a left screw 23, a right screw 24, a left nut, a right nut, and a pressing plate 25. The left connecting plate 21 and the right connecting plate 22 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the mounting groove. The left screw 23 and the right screw 24 are respectively connected above the left connecting plate 21 and the right connecting plate 22. The pressing plate 25 extends parallel to the horizontal support plate 1. The two sides of the pressing plate 25 are slidably disposed through the left screw 23 and the right screw 24, respectively. The pressing plate 25 is fixed to the left screw 23 and the right screw 24 by the left nut and the right nut, respectively. The combination of the left and right connecting plates with the screws and nuts makes the entire device adjustable. The operator can adjust the position of the pressing plate by rotating the screws and nuts, which enhances the control of the engraving machine and improves the accuracy of the engraving depth. It is especially suitable for engraving complex textures.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pressure plate 25 is a fixed iron plate.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the engraving machine includes two elastic support members 33 and 34, which are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the main body. The two elastic support members 33 and 34 are mounted on the lower plate via mounting plates and fasteners. The symmetrical installation of two elastic support members 33 and 34 on the left and right sides of the engraving machine further improves the stability of the support and reduces errors caused by offset or vibration during the engraving process. This design enhances the shock resistance and stability of the device, which is beneficial for use in scenarios requiring high precision and complex engraving. Optionally, the elastic support members 33 and 34 are made of spring steel or polyurethane material. Using spring steel or polyurethane material as elastic support members provides good elasticity and durability. These materials can not only effectively resist fatigue during repeated operation but also ensure the stability of the engraving machine under different depths and pressures, making them particularly suitable for high-precision engraving operations.

[0026] In some embodiments, the lower plate 35 is fitted into the mounting slots 11, 12 via detachable connectors. The distance between the drill bit 32 and the mold is adjusted by varying the depth of insertion into the mounting slots 11, 12. This design significantly improves the flexibility of the engraving process, allowing operators to precisely adjust the engraving depth as needed, adapting to mold-making requirements of varying complexity.

[0027] For example, the horizontal support plate 1 is a wooden board with a specific shaped mounting groove to accommodate mold textures of different shapes.

[0028] By way of example, using the aforementioned mold-making apparatus, this utility model provides the following mold-making method:

[0029] When making the mold, the bottom mold surface must first be planed flat, with a horizontal error within 1mm, before carving on the other side. Before carving, use a 1:1 drawing as a base to place carbon paper, and use a pen to copy the texture of each layer onto the surface of the mold. Select the corresponding holes according to the desired carving depth, fix the lower plate of the carving machine in the mounting groove of the horizontal support plate, fix two baffles of the same height on both sides of the mold, and place the horizontal support plate with the carving machine fixed on the baffles for moving carving. The carving begins with the deepest layer of texture. Before carving, the depth of the first layer is calculated: for example, if each layer is 1mm deep, with a total of 10 layers, and the horizontal support mechanism is 20mm from the tenth layer, then the depth of the first layer is: 1*10-1+20=29mm. After determining the depth, adjust the nut on the lifting and pressing mechanism to fix the bottom of the carving machine's drill bit at the 29mm position. Observing through the transparent lower plate, carve the first layer of texture along the texture line. Then adjust the main body upwards by 1mm. Because the main body's own hydraulic device cannot be precisely controlled, it needs to be corrected by the nut of the fixing mechanism. After fixing, carve along the second layer of texture, repeating this process until the entire texture is carved, thus completing the mold production. Molds made in this way have high precision and repeatability, and the textures are varied. Patterns can be drawn directly on 1:1 drawings without the need for CAD drawings, making modifications and operations convenient, saving time and effort, and reducing production costs and processing difficulty.
