[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass molding machine technology, and in particular to an aspherical glass molding machine. Background Technology
[0002] A molding machine is a device used to heat and pressurize a mold containing glass to form the glass. Glass forming mainly involves the following steps: 1. After the glass is cut, it is placed inside the mold and then manually transferred to the forming chamber; 2. The mold is then conveyed to the heating station by a conveying mechanism within the forming chamber; 3. After heating to the specified temperature, the mold is pressed and formed at the forming station; 4. After forming, the mold is conveyed to the cooling station for cooling and shaping.
[0003] The molding chamber, which relies on manual feeding, has low feeding efficiency. Moreover, the heating section near the feeding port is high, which can burn people's hands and create a safety hazard.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the aspherical glass molding machine of this utility model includes a frame 1 and a molding chamber 2 fixed on the frame 1; the molding chamber 2 is provided with a fork mechanism 10, a heating component, a molding component and a cooling component; the heating component, the molding component and the cooling component are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the molding chamber 2; the fork mechanism 10 is used to convey the mold 12 along the length direction of the molding chamber 2; a feeding component is provided on the molding chamber 2;
[0033] The feeding assembly includes a mold conveying mechanism 3 and a pushing mechanism; the bottom of the forming chamber 2 is provided with a bottom through hole 201; the mold conveying mechanism 3 includes a translational linear module 301, a lifting linear module 302, and a lifting platform 303; one end of the translational linear module 301 is fixed to the frame 1; the other end of the translational linear module 301 is fixed to one end of the lifting linear module 302; the other end of the lifting linear module 302 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 303; the pushing mechanism includes a pushing linear module 4 with one end fixed to the frame 1; the other end of the pushing linear module 4 is fixed with a push rod 401; the inner cavity of the forming chamber 2 is provided with a push block 402; the end of the push rod 401 extends into the inner cavity of the forming chamber 2 and is fixedly connected to the push block 402;
[0034] The translation linear module 301 and the lifting linear module 302 are not fundamentally different from the prior art, so they will not be described in detail. A discharge mechanism 9 is provided at the end of the forming chamber 2 to discharge the cooled mold 12 from the forming chamber 2. The power of the lifting linear module 302 is a cylinder.
[0035] The cooling assembly consists of multiple cooling stations 8; each cooling station 8 includes an upper cooling plate 801 and a lower cooling plate 802; circulating coolant or cooling gas is introduced into the upper cooling plate 801 and the lower cooling plate 802 to cool them; the cylinder of the cooling station 8 drives the upper cooling plate 801 downward, pressing the mold 12 onto the lower cooling plate 802 for cooling; similarly, the heating assembly consists of multiple heating stations 5; each heating station 5 includes an upper heating plate and a lower heating plate; the cylinder of the heating station 5 drives the upper heating plate downward, pressing and heating the mold on the lower heating plate; the temperature of the multiple heating stations 5 gradually increases. The gradually rising heating station 5 heats the mold 12 step by step; the forming assembly consists of a first forming station 6 and a second forming station 7; the first forming station 6 includes a first upper pressure block 601 and a first lower support seat 602; after the mold 12 is transported to the first lower support seat 602, the cylinder on the first forming station 6 drives the first upper pressure block 601 to move downward, and the first upper pressure block 601 applies pressure to the mold 12 to perform preliminary forming of the glass inside the mold 12; while the second forming station 7 includes a second upper pressure block 701 and a second lower support seat 702, and the cylinder on the second forming station 7 drives the second upper pressure block 701 to move downward to perform final forming of the glass inside the mold 12;
[0036] The top surfaces of the first lower support 602, the second lower support 702, the lower cooling plate 802, and the lower heating plate are all at the same horizontal height. Therefore, the mold 12 can be pushed forward by the translation of the shift fork mechanism 10. The discharge mechanism 9 is a linear conveying structure, including a linear module and a lifting platform. After the shift fork mechanism 10 pushes the mold 12 to the lifting platform of the discharge mechanism 9, the lifting platform descends to be misaligned with the molding chamber 2. Then, the linear module of the shift fork mechanism 10 conveys the lifting platform and the mold 12 outward.
[0037] During feeding, the mold 12 loaded with glass is placed on the lifting platform 303. Then, the linear module 301 moves the lifting platform 303 to below the bottom through hole 201. The lifting linear module 302 raises the lifting platform 303 and the mold 12 into the inner cavity of the forming chamber 2, so that the horizontal height of the lifting platform 303 is consistent with the horizontal height of the top surface of the lower heating plate. The pushing linear module 4 drives the push rod 401 to move, so that the push block 402 pushes the mold 12 into the top surface of the lower heating plate.
[0038] This structure enables automatic feeding of the mold 12 into the molding chamber 2, greatly improving feeding efficiency and safety.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a bridging assembly 11 is provided between the molding assembly and the cooling assembly, and between the molding assembly and the heating assembly. The bridging assembly 11 includes a telescopic module 1102, a swing rod 1103, and a flipping plate 1101 rotatably connected to the frame 1. The bottom of the flipping plate 1101 is provided with a slot. One end of the swing rod 1103 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slot. The other end of the swing rod 1103 is rotatably connected to the telescopic module 1102. The swing rod 1103 can flip at a certain angle within the slot. Through the swing of the swing rod 1103, the connection position between the telescopic module 1102 and the swing rod 1103 is always at the same vertical height to prevent interference. The telescopic module 1102 consists of a cylinder and a straight rod. The cylinder drives the straight rod to extend and retract, which can push the flipping plate 1101 to flip through the swing rod 1103.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the shift fork mechanism 10 includes a transverse electric cylinder 1002, a fixed plate 1004 fixed on the frame 1, and a sliding plate 1005 slidably connected to the fixed plate 1004; a plurality of longitudinal cylinders 1003 are provided on the sliding plate 1005; one end of the longitudinal cylinder 1003 is fixed on the sliding plate 1005; the other end of the longitudinal cylinder 1003 is fixed to a fork body 1001; the two ends of the transverse electric cylinder 1002 are respectively fixed on the sliding plate 1005 and the fixed plate 1004.
[0041] The transverse electric cylinder 1002 can drive the sliding plate 1005 to move horizontally, so that each fork 1001 can move synchronously, and the mold 12 can be moved by the fork 1001; the longitudinal cylinder 1003 is used to drive the fork 1001 to extend and retract, so as to realize the two actions of the fork 1001 being misaligned or aligned with the mold, ensuring that the fork 1001 will not push the mold 12 when it is reset; the fork 1001 is composed of multiple fork pins, and each fork pin moves one mold 12.
