Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0028] Embodiment one:
[0029] A kind of automobile A column outer plate thermoforming die, including workbench 1 and mould 2, mould 2 is fixedly installed on the top of workbench 1, the top of workbench 1 is fixedly connected with stretch box 3, the inside of stretch box 3 is provided with first piston plate 4, the top of first piston plate 4 is fixedly connected with first push rod 5, the top of first push rod 5 is fixedly connected with support block 6, and vibration mechanism is arranged on the side of support block 6;
[0030] Vibration mechanism includes motor 7 fixedly connected on the side of support block 6, the output end of motor 7 is fixedly connected with cam 8, the top of cam 8 is provided with linkage block 9, one side of linkage block 9 is fixedly connected with extrusion block 10 and linkage rod 11, one end of linkage rod 11 penetrates to the side of support block 6, and is fixedly connected with knock block 12, one side of knock block 12 is fixedly connected with several knock rods 13, the other side of knock block 12 is fixedly connected with knock spring 14, one side of knock spring 14 is fixedly connected with the side of support block 6, and the side of support block 6 is provided with two gas collecting mechanisms.
[0031] In the example, considering that the raw material completely relies on the flow of raw material to fill the forming cavity during injection into the forming cavity, the product is prone to bubbles after forming, thereby reducing the forming effect of mould 2, so that vibration mechanism is arranged, the raw material is injected into mould 2 at the same time, 2、 Figure 3And Figure 6 When the protruding end of the cam 8 is in contact with the inclined part of the extrusion block 10, the extrusion block 10 and the linkage block 9 are driven to move away from the mold 2, and the linkage block 9 drives the linkage rod 11, the knocking block 12 and the knocking rod 13 to move along the guide rod 25 and the guide hole 26, and the knocking block 12 extrudes the knocking spring 14 to make the knocking spring 14 in a compressed state. When the protruding end of the cam 8 is not in contact with the extrusion block 10, the elastic force of the knocking spring 14 pushes the knocking block 12 and the knocking rod 13 to reset suddenly and knock on the surface of the mold 2, and the process is repeated to produce intermittent knocking on the mold 2 to produce slight vibration, improve the flowability of the raw material, and make the raw material fill the forming cavity fully and reduce the generation of bubbles.
[0032] The two sides of the extrusion block 10 are inclined.
[0033] In this example, when the protruding end of the cam 8 is in contact with the inclined part of the extrusion block 10, the extrusion block 10 and the linkage block 9 are driven to move away from the mold 2, and the linkage block 9 drives the linkage rod 11, the knocking block 12 and the knocking rod 13 to move along the guide rod 25 and the guide hole 26, and the knocking block 12 extrudes the knocking spring 14 to make the knocking spring 14 in a compressed state. When the protruding end of the cam 8 is not in contact with the extrusion block 10, the elastic force of the knocking spring 14 pushes the knocking block 12 and the knocking rod 13 to reset suddenly and knock on the surface of the mold 2, and the process is repeated to produce intermittent knocking on the mold 2 to produce slight vibration, improve the flowability of the raw material, and make the raw material fill the forming cavity fully and reduce the generation of bubbles.
[0034] The knocking block 12 is fixedly connected with two guide rods 25 on one side, and the support block 6 is provided with guide holes 26 matched with the guide rods 25.
[0035] In this example, the guide rod 25 and the guide hole 26 are arranged to limit the movement of the knocking block 12 and the knocking rod 13 along the guide rod 25 and the guide hole 26 when the protruding end of the cam 8 is in contact with the inclined part of the extrusion block 10, and to improve the stability of the movement.
[0036] Example two:
[0037] The gas collecting mechanism includes a gas collecting box 15 fixedly connected to one side of the support block 6, a gas inlet pipe 16 fixedly communicated with the top of the gas collecting box 15 through a first one-way valve, an exhaust pipe 17 fixedly communicated with one side of the gas collecting box 15, one end of the exhaust pipe 17 fixedly communicated with one side of the stretching box 3, a second piston plate 18 arranged in the gas collecting box 15, a second push rod 19 fixedly connected to one side of the second piston plate 18, one end of the second push rod 19 penetrating to one side of the support block 6 and fixedly connected to one side of the knocking block 12, and a pressure relief mechanism arranged on one side of the gas collecting box 15.
[0038] In this example, the gas collecting mechanism is arranged to move the knocking block 12 reciprocally, and the pressure relief mechanism is arranged to Figure 3 And Figure 4When the knocking block 12 drives the second push rod 19 and the second piston plate 18 to move to the left, the gas in the gas collecting box 15 is compressed, so that the gas enters the inside of the stretching box 3 through the exhaust pipe 17; when the knocking block 12 drives the second push rod 19 and the second piston plate 18 to move to the right, the first piston plate 4 is driven to move upward, and the first push rod 5, the support block 6 and the vibration mechanism are driven to move upward, so that the position of the vibration mechanism for knocking and generating vibration is changed, and the liquidity of the raw material is further improved, so that air bubbles are avoided.
[0039] It should be noted that the first one-way valve is a valve that can only enter the gas collecting box 15, the second one-way valve is a valve that can only exhaust gas from the gas collecting box 15, and the exhaust pipe 17 is a rubber hose.
[0040] Example three:
[0041] The pressure relief mechanism includes a pressure relief pipe 20 fixedly connected to one side of the stretching box 3, and an electromagnetic valve 21 fixedly installed on the surface of the pressure relief pipe 20. The inside of the stretching box 3 is provided with a pressure sensor 22, and the workbench 1 is provided with a controller 23 fixedly installed on one side. The controller 23 is signal connected with the electromagnetic valve 21 and the pressure sensor 22.
[0042] In this example, when the gas pressure in the stretching box 3 reaches a certain value, the pressure sensor 22 transmits a signal to the controller 23, and the PLC module built in the controller 23 starts the electromagnetic valve 21 to open the pressure relief pipe 20 to discharge the gas in the stretching box 3. At the same time, the elastic force of the reset spring 24 drives the first piston plate 4 and other structures to move downward, so as to relieve the pressure in the stretching box 3 and avoid the structure from being stuck.
[0043] The top of the first piston plate 4 is fixedly connected with two reset springs 24, and the top of the reset spring 24 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the stretching box 3.
[0044] In this example, when the pressure relief pipe 20 is opened, the elastic force of the reset spring 24 drives the first piston plate 4 and other structures to move downward, so as to reset the function.
[0045] Working principle: at the same time when the raw material is injected into the mold 2, the reference 2, Figure 3 and Figure 6By starting the motor 7, the cam 8 is driven to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 8 contacts the inclined part of the extrusion block 10, it will drive the extrusion block 10 and the linkage block 9 to move away from the mold 2. The linkage block 9 will drive the linkage rod 11, the striking block 12 and the striking rod 13 to move along the guide rod 25 and the guide hole 26. At the same time, the striking block 12 will squeeze the striking spring 14, so that the striking spring 14 is in a compressed state. When the protruding end of the cam 8 rotates to no longer contact the extrusion block 10, the elastic force generated by the striking spring 14 will push the striking block 12 and the striking rod 13 to suddenly return to their original position and strike the surface of the mold 2. This cycle repeats intermittently, striking the mold 2 to produce slight vibration, improving the fluidity of the raw material, so that it can fully fill the molding cavity and reduce the generation of air bubbles.
[0046] While tapping block 12 and moving it back and forth, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the striking block 12 moves the second push rod 19 and the second piston plate 18 to the left, it compresses the gas in the gas collection box 15, allowing the gas to enter the extension box 3 through the exhaust pipe 17. When the striking block 12 moves the second push rod 19 and the second piston plate 18 to the right, it causes the gas collection box 15 to be under negative pressure, and the gas will enter the gas collection box 15 through the air inlet pipe 16. The gas is injected into the extension box 3 in a cyclical manner. Under the push of the air pressure, the first piston plate 4 will slowly move upward, and at the same time, it will move the first push rod 5, the support block 6, and the vibration mechanism upward, changing the position of the vibration generated by the vibration mechanism, further improving the fluidity of the raw material and avoiding the generation of bubbles.
[0047] When the air pressure inside the extension box 3 reaches a certain value, the pressure sensor 22 will transmit a signal to the controller 23. The built-in PLC module of the controller 23 will activate the solenoid valve 21 and open the pressure relief pipe 20 to discharge the gas in the extension box 3. At the same time, the elastic force generated by the reset spring 24 will drive the first piston plate 4 and other structures to move downward, thereby relieving the internal pressure of the extension box 3 and preventing the structure from jamming.
[0048] It should be noted that the motor 7, solenoid valve 21, pressure sensor 22 and controller 23 are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology. Furthermore, the specific composition and principle of the power supply of the motor 7, solenoid valve 21, pressure sensor 22 and controller 23 are clear to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
