Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, specifically to a conical mold for an air spring bladder. Background Technology
[0002] An air spring is an advanced component of a vehicle suspension system that achieves elastic support by inflating compressed air. The air spring bulb is the core component of the air spring system, typically made of rubber, with neoprene being a common material. The air spring bulb can deform significantly under load but returns to its original state after release. This unique property plays a crucial role in addressing noise, vibration, and acoustic harshness generated during vehicle operation, thus optimizing ride comfort and stability and ensuring the high-quality operation of modern vehicles.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of air spring bladders, molding and cutting are core steps, and their processing precision directly affects the quality of the finished bladder and the overall performance of the air spring. Initially, the bladder is fitted onto a matching mold, ensuring a uniform and tight fit to prevent wrinkles, air bubbles, and other defects. Then, the mold expands outward according to preset parameters with precise amplitude, speed, and force. Once the mold reaches the desired expansion state, the bladder is cut according to the pre-planned parting line. During cutting, strict control is maintained over various cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, depth, and angle, striving for neat, smooth cuts and accurate dimensions to obtain a standard-compliant bladder that ensures stable performance in various applications, including vehicle suspension systems. However, currently, there are no molds specifically designed for cutting bladders, and existing manual cutting methods are insufficient to meet the growing demands for precision and specialization.
[0004] Therefore, the inventors have meticulously designed a brand-new bladder mold to fill this gap, optimize the processing flow of air spring bladders, and improve product quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0048] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0049] This embodiment provides a conical mold for an air spring bladder, such as... Figure 1-2As shown in Figure 9, the device includes: a main body 1, a central shaft 2, a first extension 3, an extension blade 4, an elastic element 5, and a limiting seat 6; wherein, the main body 1 has a mounting cavity 11 with a top opening, and elongated openings 12 on both sides communicating with the mounting cavity 11; the central shaft 2 is movably mounted in the mounting cavity 11, and its top end is always located outside the mounting cavity 11; the first extension 3 is sleeved on the main body 1, and its inner side passes through the elongated opening 12 and is fixedly mounted on the central shaft 2, and can follow the up and down movement of the central shaft 2 along the up and down of the main body 1. The device is movable; there are several extension blades 4, which are movably connected to the first extension member 3 through the first extension structure; the extension blades 4 have an initial state and an extended state in which they expand outward under the action of the first extension member 3 driving the first extension structure; the elastic member 5 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11 and sleeved on the central shaft 2, with one end abutting against the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 and the other end abutting against the first extension member 3; the limiting seat 6 is mounted on the main body 1 and is slidably connected to the bottom of the extension blades 4 for limiting and supporting the extension blades 4.
[0050] When cutting the air spring bladder, the bladder is first fitted onto the bladder mold according to specifications. After fitting the bladder, downward pressure is applied to the central shaft 2, causing the central shaft 2 to move the first extension member 3 downward. The first extension structure causes the extension blades 4 to expand outward, thus bringing the bladder to a predetermined expansion state for subsequent processing. After the bladder is processed, the downward pressure on the central shaft 2 is released, and the central shaft 2 returns to its initial state via the elastic member 5. The extension blades 4 retract inward to their initial state via the first extension structure. Then, the bladder is removed from the bladder mold, completing the processing flow. The conical mold for air spring bladders in this embodiment can precisely control the outward expansion of the bladder during the cutting process, ensuring the bladder reaches a predetermined state. This meets the stringent requirements of modern industry for product refinement and specialization, improves production quality and efficiency, and provides a reliable guarantee for the high-quality manufacturing of air spring bladders.
[0051] The first expansion structure includes a first guide member 7 and a first guide slide 72. Several first guide members 7 are arranged opposite to the expansion blade 4 and are circumferentially and uniformly fixedly installed on the first expansion member 3. A first guide groove 71 is formed on the first guide member 7. Several first guide slides 72 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner wall of the expansion blade 4. The first guide slides 72 are matched with the first guide grooves 71 and can move along the first guide grooves 71. Through the cooperation of the first guide slides 72 and the first guide grooves 71, the expansion blade 4 can be smoothly expanded and accurately reset, ensuring the precision of the bladder processing and improving production quality.
[0052] like Figure 4 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, the angle at which the first guide slide 72 is set on the inner wall of the extended blade 4 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom, so that when the first guide slide 71 moves downward along the first guide slide 72, the extended blade 4 expands outward; when the first guide slide 71 moves upward along the first guide slide 72, the extended blade 4 retracts inward.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the first extension member 3 includes a first connector 31 and a first mounting member 32; wherein, the first connector 31 is fixedly sleeved on the central shaft 2, and both ends extend from the elongated openings 12 on both sides to the outside of the main body member 1; the first mounting member 32 is sleeved on the main body member 1 and is fixedly connected to both ends of the first connector 31; the first guide member 7 is mounted on the first mounting member 32.
[0054] like Figure 4-5 As shown, a limiting member 61 is provided at the top of the limiting seat 6 opposite to the extending blade 4, and a limiting groove 62 is formed on the limiting member 61; a limiting slider 63 is installed at the bottom of the extending blade 4, and the limiting slider 63 is matched and installed with the limiting groove 62 and can move along the limiting groove 62. Through the matching installation of the limiting slider 63 and the limiting groove 62, the extending blade 4 can be limited and supported, and the stability and accuracy of the movement of the extending blade 4 can be ensured.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a blocking block 64, which is mounted on the limiting seat 6 opposite to the limiting member 61. The blocking block 64 is installed at a certain distance from the end of the limiting member 61 that is away from the main body 1, and can limit the limiting slider 63 on the limiting groove 62. The blocking block 64 can prevent the extended blade 4 from becoming displaced during movement, which would cause the mold to fail.
[0056] like Figure 6-7As shown, it also includes a second extension member 8 and a second extension structure; wherein, the second extension member 8 is fixedly installed on the central shaft 2 at a certain distance from the first extension member 3, and includes a second connector 81 and a second mounting member 82; the second connector 81 is fixedly sleeved on the central shaft 2, and its two ends extend from the elongated openings 12 on both sides to the outside of the main body member 1; the second mounting member 82 is sleeved on the main body member 1 and fixedly connected to the two ends of the second connector 81; the second extension structure includes a second guide member 83 and a second guide slide 84; several second guide members 83 are provided opposite to the extension blade 4 and are fixedly installed on the second mounting member 82 in a circumferentially uniform manner, and a second guide groove 85 is opened on the second guide member 83; several second guide slides 84 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the extension blade 4, and the second guide slides 84 are matched and installed with the second guide grooves 85 and can move along the second guide grooves 85; the setting angle of the second guide slides 84 on the inner wall of the extension blade 4 gradually decreases from the top end to the bottom end with the distance from the main body member 1. When the extended blade 4 extends outward, the central shaft 2 drives the second extended member 8 and the second extended structure to move synchronously with the first extended member 3 and the first extended structure. This structure enhances the stability of the extended blade 4 during its movement, ensuring that the extended blade 4 can complete the extension action more smoothly and efficiently.
[0057] The elastic element 5 is disposed within the mounting cavity 11 and sleeved on the central shaft 2. One end abuts against the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11, while the other end no longer abuts against the first extension element 3, but instead abuts against the second extension element 8. The elastic element 5 is used to reset the extension blade 4 to its initial state.
[0058] like Figure 10 As shown, the main body 1 includes a first main body 13 and a second main body 14. The first main body 13 and the second main body 14 are matched and installed together. The top ends are fixedly connected together by a connecting bushing 15, and the bottom ends are fixedly connected together by a connecting base 16. This structure is convenient and simple to assemble and disassemble, and is easy to maintain and repair.
[0059] A pressing member 21 is provided at the top end of the central shaft 2, and the outer diameter of the pressing member 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting cavity 11. The pressing member 21 ensures that the top end of the central shaft 2 is always located outside the main body 1, thus ensuring continuous use.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
