Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spoon mold technology, specifically a bio-based spoon mold. Background Technology

[0002] Bio-based materials refer to materials manufactured using renewable biomass such as grains, legumes, straw, and bamboo powder through biological, chemical, and physical methods. These biomaterials possess good biodegradability and resource sustainability; however, compared to tableware made from traditional petroleum-based materials, they have poorer heat resistance. Therefore, when using bio-based materials for injection molding spoons, the mold cooling requirements are high. However, existing spoon molds lack corresponding mold cooling structures, requiring a long waiting time before mold opening after injection molding. If the mold temperature is too high, the spoon is prone to deformation, resulting in a low yield rate, long injection molding cycle, and poor practicality for existing bio-based spoon injection molding. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a bio-based spoon mold that can assist in cooling the mold after injection molding, thus preventing the spoon from deforming due to high mold temperature during mold opening. This improves the pass rate of bio-based spoon injection molding, shortens the injection molding cycle, and enhances practicality.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A bio-based spoon mold includes a frame, a controller mounted on the frame, modules equidistantly arranged above the frame for driving adjacent modules to move closer or further apart using a mold-closing drive assembly, a spray assembly positioned directly above the modules, and a water tank positioned directly below the modules. A front protrusion and a back concave side are respectively provided on the facing surfaces of two adjacent modules. When the mold-closing drive assembly drives the adjacent modules to close, the front protrusion and the back concave side enclose and form a mold cavity. Both the mold-closing drive assembly and the spray assembly are electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, the front side of the module is provided with a channel one that connects to the front protrusion, and the front side of the module is provided with a channel two that connects to the reverse concave side. After two adjacent modules are molded together, channel one and channel two surround each other to form an injection port.

[0007] Furthermore, the mold clamping drive assembly includes a back plate fixed to the frame, two fixed plates symmetrically arranged on the back plate, a slide rod, a drive shaft, and multiple slide blocks arranged between the two fixed plates, the two ends of the slide rod being fixed to the two fixed plates respectively, the drive shaft being rotatably connected between the two fixed plates via bearings, the slide blocks being slidably connected to the slide rod, and a mold clamping drive mechanism being fixed to the back of the slide block. The mold clamping drive mechanism is used to drive the drive shaft to rotate. Multiple guide slots are arranged on the drive shaft, with the axis of the drive shaft as the reference point, extending to the left and right respectively. A slider is slidably connected in the guide slot, one end of the slider extending out of the guide slot and connecting to the slide block, and the module being fixed on the slide block.

[0008] Furthermore, a driven wheel is provided at one end of the drive shaft; the mold closing drive mechanism includes a stepper motor fixed on the fixed plate, and a drive wheel is driven and connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor, and the drive wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the spray assembly includes a main spray pipe fixed on the frame, multiple spray branch pipes disposed on the main spray pipe, multiple atomizing nozzles installed on the spray branch pipes, a water inlet pipe with one end extending into the water tank, a cold water pipe connected to the main spray pipe with the other end, a water chiller with the inlet end connected to the water inlet pipe and the outlet end connected to the cold water pipe, and a water pump disposed at the end of the water inlet pipe extending into the water tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a filter screen is horizontally arranged on the frame, and the filter screen is positioned above the water tank.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a temperature detection sensor embedded in the mold cavity, the temperature detection sensor being used to detect the temperature on the inner wall of the mold cavity, and the temperature detection sensor being electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In practical applications, during use, the mold closing drive component drives adjacent modules to close, so that the front protrusion and the back concave side enclose to form a mold cavity. Liquid bio-based material is injected into the mold cavity. After injection, water is sprayed onto the modules through the spray component to quickly cool the modules. The water after heat exchange falls into a water tank. When the module temperature reaches the standard, the mold closing drive component drives the adjacent modules to separate, and the molded bio-based spoon can be removed. This utility model can assist in cooling the mold after injection molding, avoiding the situation where the spoon deforms due to the high mold temperature when the mold is opened. It improves the pass rate of bio-based spoon injection molding, shortens the injection molding cycle, and has better practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0019] In use, the mold closing drive assembly 4 drives the adjacent modules 3 to close, so that the front protrusion and the back concave 31 surround and form a mold cavity. Liquid bio-based material is injected into the mold cavity. After injection, water is sprayed onto the modules 3 through the spray assembly 5 to cool the modules 3 quickly. The water after cooling and heat exchange falls into the water tank 6. When the temperature of the modules 3 reaches the standard, the mold closing drive assembly 4 drives the adjacent modules 3 to separate, and the molded bio-based spoon can be taken out.

In this embodiment, during the process of the mold closing drive mechanism driving the drive shaft 44 to rotate, the drive shaft 44 rotates and drives the slider to slide along the guide slot 441. At the same time, the slide block 45 slides along the slide rod 43, so that multiple slide blocks 45 drive adjacent modules 3 to move closer or further away from each other.
