Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a mold, particularly a double-ring air spring bladder mold. Background Technology
[0002] Air springs are made by filling a sealed container with compressed air and utilizing the compressibility of gas to achieve their elastic effect. Air springs have ideal non-linear elastic characteristics. After adding a height adjustment device, the vehicle height does not change with the increase or decrease of load. The spring stiffness can be designed to be low, resulting in good ride comfort. However, air spring suspension structures are complex and have high manufacturing costs. Air springs are made using molds.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent literature discloses a vulcanization mold for an air spring bladder [Application No.: 202121691262.9; Authorization Announcement No.: CN215550249U], which includes an upper mold, a middle mold, and a lower mold. The middle mold has at least one vulcanization hole. The upper mold has a first plunger for sealing one end of the vulcanization hole, and the lower mold has a second plunger for sealing the other end of the vulcanization hole. The middle mold has a heating pipe. The bladder is cylindrical, sealed at one end, and sealed and fixed to the second plunger at the other end. The first plunger, the second plunger, the inner wall of the vulcanization hole, and the outer wall of the bladder form a vulcanization chamber. The air spring bladder is fitted over the bladder and located inside the vulcanization chamber. The upper mold has a vacuum main pipe that is connected to the vulcanization chamber. The lower mold has an air filling and emptying pipe that is connected to the inside of the bladder.
[0004] The vulcanization mold structure of the air spring bladder described above is simple and practical. However, the design of the air spring bladder mold adopts a simple upper and lower mold closing structure, which makes it difficult to guarantee the molding accuracy of the bladder. Especially during the high-pressure vulcanization process, the bladder is easily affected by the internal air pressure and the external mold pressure, resulting in deformation and displacement, which leads to unstable finished product dimensions and may even cause quality problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a double-ring air spring bladder mold that effectively prevents the bladder from shifting during vulcanization, improves the stability and uniformity of the support, and enhances the molding accuracy of the bladder.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A double-ring air spring bladder mold includes an upper mold, with a lower mold fastened to the bottom of the upper mold. Both the upper and lower molds have vulcanization holes inside, and a spring bladder is placed inside each vulcanization hole. The upper mold has a groove inside, and a spring is placed on the inner wall of the groove. One side of the spring contacts a steel ball, and another side of the steel ball contacts a conical ring. A circular ring is fitted around the outside of the spring bladder. A plunger is placed inside the lower mold, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the top of the plunger. Heating channels are formed on the surfaces of both the upper and lower molds, and a slanted guide post is provided on the surface of the upper mold. By setting up heating channels, hot air is injected into the inner cavity of the heating channels through an external heating device to heat the mold, resulting in good airflow and improved yield of air springs. The slanted guide post facilitates smooth separation and fastening of the upper and lower molds.
[0007] This double-ring air spring bladder mold incorporates a spring bladder, groove, spring, steel balls, conical ring, circular ring, plunger, and pressure plate. The spring tensions and supports the steel balls, which in turn support the conical ring, thus supporting the outer wall of the air spring bladder. This provides excellent support and prevents displacement. The circular ring further supports the outer wall of the spring bladder, preventing shifting and ensuring positional accuracy. This effectively prevents the bladder from shifting during vulcanization, improving the stability and uniformity of support, simplifying the mold structure, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0008] In the aforementioned double-ring air spring bladder mold, the top of the pressure plate extends into the inner cavity of the spring bladder, and the bottom of the spring bladder extends between the pressure plate and the plunger. By setting the pressure plate and the plunger, the bottom of the spring bladder is pressed and held, ensuring a stable connection, facilitating the inflation of the spring bladder, and simplifying the molding process of the air spring.
[0009] In the aforementioned double-ring air spring bladder mold, the surface of the lower mold is provided with an air filling hole, and the surface of the pressure plate is provided with an air inlet hole. The air filling hole and the air inlet hole are connected. By providing the air filling hole and the air inlet hole, the top of the air inlet hole is connected to the inner cavity of the spring bladder, which facilitates the connection of an external air filling device to the air filling hole to fill the inside of the spring bladder with air, thus facilitating the molding and processing of the air spring.
[0010] In the aforementioned double-ring air spring bladder mold, a connector is connected to one side of the heating channel, and a connecting pipe is movably connected to one side of the connector. The inner wall of the connecting pipe is movably connected to the connector via a bearing, and the inner wall of the connecting pipe is provided with internal threads. A sealing gasket is provided on one side of the connector. By providing a connecting pipe, it is convenient to connect to an external air supply pipe via threads, facilitating the delivery of hot air. By providing a sealing gasket, the connection between the air supply pipe and the connecting pipe is sealed, improving the sealing performance at this point and preventing hot air leakage.
[0011] In the aforementioned double-ring air spring bladder mold, a tensioning bolt is connected through the surface of the upper mold. One end of the tensioning bolt penetrates into the inner cavity of the groove and contacts a tensioning block. One side of the tensioning block contacts the spring. The tensioning bolt is threadedly connected to the upper mold. By setting the tensioning bolt and tensioning block, rotating the tensioning bolt pushes the tensioning block to move, causing the tensioning block to compress the tension spring, thus adjusting the tension of the spring. This facilitates tension support for the conical ring, effectively shapes and supports the spring bladder, and improves the machining accuracy of the finished product.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this double-ring air spring bladder mold are as follows: the spring tensions and supports the steel balls, which in turn support the conical ring, thus supporting the outer wall of the air spring bladder. This provides good support and prevents displacement. The circular ring supports the outer wall of the spring bladder, preventing displacement and ensuring positional accuracy. This effectively prevents the bladder from shifting during vulcanization, improving the stability and uniformity of support, simplifying the mold structure, and reducing manufacturing costs.
