They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0039] Example 1, as Figures 1-2 As shown, a hydraulic press with a mold device is mainly used for carbon fiber wheel hub forming. It includes a hydraulic press body 1, an upper crossbeam 11, and a lower crossbeam 13. The hydraulic press body 4 is provided with a slider assembly that slides up and down inside.
[0040] A drive assembly 2 is provided inside the upper crossbeam 11, and the drive assembly 2 drives the slider assembly to move up and down.
[0041] A movable component 4 is slidably mounted on the lower crossbeam 13;
[0042] The moving component 4 and the slider component are respectively equipped with mold devices 3 for holding carbon fiber wheel hub templates at corresponding positions on the top and bottom.
[0043] The drive assembly 2 includes a central cylinder 21 and side cylinders 22 respectively disposed on both sides of the central cylinder 21;
[0044] The slider assembly includes a slider 12, and a central slider 121 is slidably disposed inside the slider 12. The upper plane of the central slider 121 is connected to the output shaft of the central cylinder 21, and the upper plane of the slider 12 is connected to the output shafts of the two side cylinders 22.
[0045] The central cylinder 21 and the two side cylinders 22 are fixed inside the upper crossbeam 1 by fixed flanges. The guide sliders on both sides of the slider 12 slide up and down on the hydraulic press body 1, while the central slider 12 is suspended and fixed by the central cylinder 21.
[0046] During pressing, the hydraulic press control system controls the extension and retraction of the output shafts of the central cylinder 21 and the side cylinder 22 respectively, and the central cylinder 21 and the side cylinder 22 drive the central slider 121 and the slider 12 to move up and down respectively.
[0047] An electrical control cabinet 5 and an operating table 6 are installed on the outside of the hydraulic press body 1 to facilitate the operation of the hydraulic press.
[0048] In this embodiment, the lower part of the hydraulic press body 1 is installed in the foundation. The moving component 4 includes a moving worktable, a worktable clamping device, and a slide rail. The moving worktable moves back and forth between the outside of the hydraulic press body 1 and the upper plane of the lower crossbeam 13 via the slide rail. The moving worktable is driven by a servo motor. The slide rail is installed on the lower crossbeam 13 and the foundation plane, which can ensure that the moving worktable moves back and forth between the outside and inside of the hydraulic press body 1. When the moving worktable moves to the inside of the hydraulic press body 1 along the slide rail, the worktable clamping device in the moving component 4 clamps the worktable, and the work can be performed. Specifically, the worktable clamping device is implemented as follows: a through groove is provided at the lower part of the moving worktable corresponding to the position of the slide rail. Bosses are provided on both sides of the through groove. Handles are provided on the two bosses. The lower end of the handles is connected to the output end of a tensioning cylinder. When the output end of the tensioning cylinder moves downward, it can drive the handles to move downward, thereby pressing the bosses and finally pressing the moving worktable.
[0049] When the movable worktable moves out, a limit switch is installed on the slide rail. The movable worktable decelerates after hitting the limit switch until it hits the worktable limit block at the end of the slide rail, at which point the movable worktable stops moving. Similarly, when the movable worktable moves into the hydraulic press body 1, the same limit switches and worktable limit blocks are also installed on the slide rail inside the hydraulic press body 1 to limit the position of the movable worktable when it moves in.
[0050] The upper beam 11 of the hydraulic press is equipped with a limit switch. After the formed hub is pressed, the central cylinder 21 and the side cylinder 22 drive the slider 12 and the central slider 121 to hit the limit switch during the rapid return stroke. The limit switch sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal that the slider 12 and the central slider 121 have returned to their positions, the control system controls the slider 12 and the central slider 121 to stop moving.
[0051] See also Figures 2-5 The mold device 3 includes an upper mold 31, a middle mold 32 and a lower mold 33;
[0052] The upper mold 31 is set around the middle mold 32;
[0053] The lower mold 33 includes a mounting plate 331, a base 332 and a pressing base plate 333 arranged in sequence. Multiple side shaping blocks 334 are slidably arranged on the pressing base plate 333. The multiple side shaping blocks 334 converge and enclose the central axis of the lower mold to form the movement space of the middle mold 32.
[0054] A hub forming cavity 34 is formed between the middle mold 32 and multiple side shaping blocks 334, and the hub forming cavity 34 is shaped to resemble the shape of the hub to be pressed.
[0055] The top surface of the upper mold 31 is fixedly connected to the lower plane of the slider 12, and the top surface of the middle mold 32 is fixedly connected to the lower plane of the center slider 121.
[0056] The mold device 3 is installed at the corresponding upper and lower positions of the moving component 4 and the slider component.
[0057] During pressing, the central cylinder 21 pushes the central slider 121, the two side cylinders 22 push the slider 12, the central slider 121 drives the middle mold 32, and the slider 12 drives the upper mold 31 to jointly press the mold device 3.
[0058] Example 3, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 331 is mounted on the movable worktable, the base 332 is provided with a groove, the pressing base plate 333 is installed in the groove, the pressing base plate 333 is provided with an annular forming lower ring groove 333a at the center, the bottom diameter of the space formed by the multiple side shaping blocks 334 is equal to the outer diameter of the forming lower ring groove 333a, and the pushing block 335 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the multiple side shaping blocks 334, and the pushing block 335 is connected to the mold cylinder 336.
[0059] The outer side of the lower ring groove 333a corresponds to the lower end of the multiple side shaping blocks 334 after they are enclosed.
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the centers of the upper mold 31, the middle mold 32, and the lower mold 33 are on the same axis.
[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the groove on the base 332 is in the shape of a cross, and there are also four side shaping blocks 334, each distributed on the cross-shaped branch in the groove. They are pushed by the push block 335, which is then pushed by the mold cylinder 336. The four side shaping blocks 334 together form the lower mold cavity. The upper and lower ends of the inner side of the side shaping blocks 334 are provided with inwardly concave forming arc grooves 334a with the same structure. The forming arc grooves 334a in the four side shaping blocks 334 match the shape of the wheel hub to be pressed. The forming arc grooves 334a at the lower end of the four side shaping blocks 334 correspond to the outer arc surface of the forming lower ring groove 333a.
[0062] The side shaping block 334 is a quarter-circle arc, and axial assembly grooves are provided on both sides of the outer arc surface of the side shaping block 334.
[0063] Example 4, as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the cross-section of the middle mold 32 is T-shaped, including a horizontal part and a vertical part. The diameter of the vertical part of the middle mold 32 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the forming lower annular groove 333a. The lower plane of the horizontal part of the middle mold 32 abuts against the top of the side shaping block 334.
[0064] In this embodiment, a molding upper annular groove 32a is provided on the lower plane of the horizontal part of the middle mold 32, surrounding the top of the vertical part. The molding upper annular groove 32a corresponds to the upper end of the plurality of side shaping blocks 334 after they are enclosed. The horizontal part of the middle mold 32 is a cuboid with rounded corners, and the vertical part of the middle mold 32 is a cylinder.
[0065] In Example 5, the entire inner cavity of the wheel hub forming cavity 34 is modeled after the shape of the wheel hub to be pressed, and the inner side of the upper mold 31 is provided with a limiting groove 31a corresponding to the side shaping block 334.
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the upper mold 31 has a through groove in the middle for the movement of the middle mold 32 and the lower mold 33. When the mold is closed, part of the top surface of the side shaping block 334 in the lower mold 33 abuts against the limiting groove 31a, and the other part abuts against the lower plane of the horizontal part of the middle mold 32. The shape of the limiting groove 31a is similar to the external shape of the side shaping block 334.
[0067] Example 6, as Figure 8 As shown, a pressing method using a hydraulic press with a mold device as described above involves first placing a resin-impregnated carbon fiber fabric wheel template into the lower mold 33, heating it to 135-145°C on a heating device, and then placing the lower mold 33 into the moving assembly 4. The moving assembly 4 moves the lower mold 33 into the hydraulic press body 1, where it aligns with the upper mold 31 and the middle mold 32. The method also includes the following steps:
[0068] S1. The mold cylinder 336 pushes the push block 335, and the push block 335 then pushes the side shaping block 334, so that the side shaping block 334 is in close contact with the side of the carbon fiber wheel hub to be pressed.
[0069] S2, drive assembly 2 drives slider 12 to press, side cylinder 22 drives slider 12, center cylinder 21 drives center slider 121, slider 12 and center slider 121 descend synchronously and quickly to reach their respective rapid descent set points, slider 12 and center slider 121 press and hold pressure.
[0070] S3. After the pressure holding is completed, the side cylinder 22 drives the slider 12 to slowly demold to the demolding end point set point, and the center cylinder 21 drives the center slider 121 to slowly demold to the demolding end point set point; when the slider 12 and the center slider 121 reach their respective demolding set points, the side cylinder 22 and the center cylinder 21 simultaneously return quickly.
[0071] S4. Mold cylinder 336 drives side shaping block 334 to demold from the side.
[0072] S5. After demolding is completed, the moving component 4, carrying the lower mold 33 with the molded product, moves out of the hydraulic press body 1 and removes the molded product.
[0073] S2 also includes:
[0074] S21, the central slider 121 drives the middle mold 32 to press the top surface of the carbon fiber wheel hub;
[0075] After S22 and the middle mold 32 are pressed into place, the central cylinder 21 holds the pressure to form the top surface of the carbon fiber wheel hub.
[0076] S23, the side cylinder 22 drives the slider 12 when the center cylinder 21 holds pressure. The slider 12 drives the upper mold 31 to continue pressing downward. During the downward pressing process, the groove surface of the limiting groove 31a in the upper mold 31 is in inclined contact with the outside of the side shaping block 334. This causes the downward pressure of the upper mold 31 to be converted into the force of the side shaping block 334 converging towards the central axis. After the side cylinder (22) presses into place, it holds pressure to form the side of the carbon fiber wheel hub.
[0077] Working principle: First, the carbon fiber woven fabric wheel template impregnated with resin is heated to 135-145℃ using a heating device, and then placed into the lower mold 33. The lower mold 33 is then moved into the hydraulic press body 1 by the moving component 4, aligning it with the upper mold 31 and the middle mold 32. The drive component 2 then drives the slider 12 to press the surface of the carbon fiber wheel hub. The pressing force is 3kg-7.5kg / cm². 2 The process involves pressing the top surface of the carbon fiber wheel hub into shape. While the central cylinder 21 maintains pressure, the side cylinder 22 continues to drive the slider 12. The slider 12 then drives the upper mold 31 to continue pressing downwards, converting the downward pressure of the upper mold 31 into a force that pulls the side shaping blocks 334 towards the central axis, thus pressing and shaping the side of the carbon fiber wheel hub. After both the side cylinder 22 and the central cylinder 21 have reached their pressing positions, the pressure holding time is 2-4 hours. After pressure holding is completed, the mold is removed, and the moving component 4 moves the lower mold 33 out of the hydraulic press body 1. Finally, the pressed product is taken out. Robots can be used for loading and unloading during the material loading and unloading process to reduce labor costs.
[0078] During pressing, the limiting groove 31a can limit the upward movement of the side shaping block 334. In this process, since the contact surface between the upper mold 31 and the lower mold 33 and the side shaping block 334 is inclined, the downward pressure of the upper mold 31 is converted into the force of the side shaping block 334 towards the center of the wheel hub to be pressed, thereby achieving the effect of pressing the side of the wheel hub and maintaining pressure to form the side of the wheel hub.
[0079] The control system installed in the electrical control cabinet 5 controls the movement of the central cylinder 21, side cylinder 22, mold cylinder 336 and moving component 4. The control system can be programmed by technical personnel in the relevant field to complete its movement.
[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
