Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mold handling technology, specifically relating to a movable slide table for handling molds. Background Technology

[0002] In modern production lines, especially in processes involving large molds, it is often necessary to alternately move two or more molds to processing stations for production operations. Currently, the most common method for mold handling is through overhead cranes, which lift and move the molds to designated locations.

[0003] However, this traditional handling method has certain limitations, especially when dealing with large molds. Specifically, overhead cranes may encounter insufficient lifting capacity when handling large molds, which directly affects the efficiency and feasibility of mold handling. Due to the lifting limit of the overhead crane, it may not be able to successfully complete the handling task for large molds whose weight exceeds its rated load capacity, resulting in many inconveniences and challenges when replacing molds. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a mobile slide for transporting molds that can reduce the lifting force required by the crane.

[0005] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A movable slide for transporting molds, comprising:

[0007] The travel track has mold production stations and mold replacement stations;

[0008] A mobile platform, which is movably mounted on the travel track, is used to carry molds and transfer them between mold production stations and mold replacement stations;

[0009] At least two fixed platforms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold replacement station on the walking track, and are used to carry the mold to be replaced and receive the mold to be replaced, respectively.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, when the mobile platform is located at the mold replacement station, the mobile platform and the fixed platform are located on the same axis and distributed along the Y-axis direction, while the walking track is arranged along the X-axis direction.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mobile platform and the fixed platform are provided with rollers on the left and right sides along the Y-axis.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a driving mechanism is provided between the walking track and the mobile platform, and the mobile platform is driven to move along the X-axis direction of the walking track by the driving mechanism.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes:

[0014] The motor and reducer are located at the end of the travel track;

[0015] The transmission lead screw is connected to the reducer via a universal coupling;

[0016] The lead screw is threadedly connected to the transmission lead screw and is also connected to the bottom of the moving platform. The rotation of the transmission lead screw drives the lead screw to move, thereby moving the moving platform.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixed platform and the mobile platform are respectively provided with limiting plates on their upper and lower outer end faces along the X-axis, and the fixed platform, the mobile platform and the limiting plates are locked together by fasteners.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting plate has a first position and a second position, wherein,

[0019] During the process of moving the mold into the fixed platform or the mobile platform, the limiting plate is lowered to the first position, at which time the limiting plate does not exceed the placement plane of the fixed platform or the mobile platform in the height direction;

[0020] After the mold is moved into the fixed platform or the moving platform, the limiting plate is adjusted to the second position, at which point the limiting plate extends beyond the placement plane of the fixed platform or the moving platform in the height direction.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, each corner area of ​​the mobile platform extends beyond the side where the roller is located along the X-axis and forms a margin space.

[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, each corner area of ​​the mobile platform is provided with an L-shaped baffle to close the remaining space.

[0023] As a further improvement of this utility model, the baffle is connected to the moving platform by an adjusting screw, and the front and rear positions of the mold along the X-axis of the moving platform are finely adjusted by the adjusting screw.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. Enhanced load-bearing capacity: Compared with the traditional use of overhead cranes, the mobile slide design of this utility model is specifically designed to meet the handling needs of large molds, ensuring that it can stably support and transfer heavy molds, effectively solving the problems caused by the lifting capacity limitation of overhead cranes;

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical methods of the present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a movable slide for transporting molds, comprising:

[0036] The travel track 100 is arranged along the X-axis direction and has a mold production station and a mold replacement station.

[0037] The mobile platform 200 is movably mounted on the travel track 100. The mobile platform 200 is used to carry the mold and transfer it between the mold production station and the mold replacement station.

[0038] At least two fixed platforms 300 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold replacement station on the walking track 100, and are used to carry the mold to be replaced and receive the mold to be replaced, respectively.

[0039] Specifically, the steps for replacing the two molds are as follows:

[0040] 1. The mobile platform 200 moves the No. 1 mold to be replaced to the mold replacement station;

[0041] 2. Transfer mold No. 1 to the empty fixed platform 300 using a crane;

[0042] 3. Transfer mold No. 2 from another fixed platform 300 to the mobile platform 200 using a crane;

[0043] 4. The mobile platform 200 moves the No. 2 mold to the mold production station, completing the replacement of the two molds.

[0044] When the mobile platform 200 is located at the mold replacement station, the mobile platform 200 and the fixed platform 300 are located on the same axis and distributed along the Y-axis, and the mobile platform 200 and the fixed platform 300 are provided with rollers on the left and right sides along the Y-axis.

[0045] Therefore, when the mold is transferred between the fixed platform 300 and the mobile platform 200, it is not necessary for the overhead crane to completely lift the mold. Instead, the mold and the rollers always maintain rolling contact, which greatly reduces the lifting force required by the overhead crane and is especially suitable for handling large or heavy molds.

[0046] This design optimizes the mold replacement process, which can significantly shorten the mold replacement time, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the production line. It also improves operational safety and avoids the risks that may be caused by traditional hoisting methods.

[0047] The movable slide provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0048] 1. Enhanced load-bearing capacity: Compared with the traditional use of overhead cranes, the mobile slide design of this utility model is specifically designed to meet the handling needs of large molds, ensuring that it can stably support and transfer heavy molds, effectively solving the problems caused by the lifting capacity limitation of overhead cranes;

[0049] 2. Improved operational precision: The use of a mobile platform 200 running along a preset track not only improves the accuracy of mold handling, but also simplifies the transfer process of molds between production stations and replacement stations, reducing positional errors caused by manual adjustments;

[0050] 3. Improved work efficiency: By configuring dedicated mold production stations and mold replacement stations, and utilizing the mobile platform 200 to achieve rapid switching, the mold changeover time is greatly shortened, and the overall work efficiency of the production line is improved.

[0051] 4. Enhanced safety: The design of the fixed platform 300 ensures stable placement of new and old molds during replacement, avoiding the risk of accidental tipping that may be caused by traditional hoisting methods, and providing operators with a safer working environment.

[0052] Preferably, a drive mechanism 400 is provided between the walking track 100 and the mobile platform 200, and the mobile platform 200 is driven to move along the X-axis direction of the walking track 100 by the drive mechanism 400.

[0053] Specifically, the drive mechanism 400 includes:

[0054] The motor and reducer 410 are located at the end of the travel track 100 and serve as the power source for the entire drive system. The motor is responsible for providing rotational force, while the reducer 410 is used to adjust the speed and torque to meet actual operating requirements.

[0055] The transmission screw 420 is connected to the reducer 410 via a universal coupling 430. The transmission screw 420 converts the rotary motion output by the reducer 410 into linear motion.

[0056] The lead screw nut 440 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 420 and simultaneously connected to the U-shaped groove (not shown in the figure) at the bottom of the moving platform 200. The rotation of the lead screw 420 drives the lead screw nut 440 to move, thereby moving the moving platform 200.

[0057] The position of the mobile platform 200 can be adjusted by the aforementioned drive mechanism 400, thereby enabling the transfer of the mold between the mold production station and the mold replacement station.

[0058] Preferably, the fixed platform 300 and the movable platform 200 are respectively provided with limiting plates 500 on the upper and lower outer end faces along the X-axis. The fixed platform 300, the movable platform 200 and the limiting plates 500 are locked together by fasteners. The limiting plates 500 are used to position and limit the upper and lower sides of the mold to ensure that the mold will not slide outward along the rollers.

[0059] Specifically, the limiting plate 500 has a first position and a second position, wherein,

[0060] First position: During the process of moving the mold into the fixed platform 300 or the moving platform 200, the limiting plate 500 is lowered to the first position. At this time, the limiting plate 500 does not exceed the placement plane of the fixed platform 300 or the moving platform 200 in the height direction, ensuring that the mold can slide into the platform smoothly without being obstructed.

[0061] Second position: Once the mold has been safely placed on the fixed platform 300 or the moving platform 200, the limiting plate 500 will be adjusted to the second position. In this state, the height of the limiting plate 500 exceeds the placement plane of the fixed platform 300 or the moving platform 200, thereby effectively limiting and protecting the mold and preventing it from accidentally sliding out.

[0062] The adjustable limit plate 500 enhances the safety and stability of the mold handling and placement processes.

[0063] Preferably, each corner area of ​​the mobile platform 200 extends beyond the side where the roller is located along the X-axis and forms a spare space. At the same time, each corner area of ​​the mobile platform 200 is provided with an L-shaped baffle 510 to close the spare space.

[0064] It should be noted that by setting this allowance space, the mold can be finely adjusted in the front and back position along the X-axis of the moving platform 200. This is because after the mold is transferred to the mold production station by the moving platform 200, there may still be a slight positional deviation of the mold. At this time, the position of the mold can be finely adjusted to correct it and ensure the final positioning accuracy of the mold.

[0065] In addition, the baffles 510 set at each corner also serve to enclose the entire mobile platform 200, further preventing the risk of the mold slipping off the mobile platform 200 and enhancing safety.

[0066] Furthermore, the baffle 510 is connected to the moving platform 200 via the adjusting screw 511. The front-to-back position of the mold along the X-axis of the moving platform 200 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw 511. Specifically, rotating the adjusting screw 511 can achieve a small displacement of the baffle 510 along the X-axis. Since the baffle 510 is in direct contact with (or close to) the edge of the mold, this fine adjustment is actually equivalent to fine-tuning the front-to-back position of the mold itself along the X-axis. This method provides operators with a more flexible and precise control method to ensure that the mold can reach the optimal working position.

The above are specific embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
