Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone product technology, specifically to a punching device for silicone buttons on a remote control. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of silicone buttons for remote controls involves placing silicone raw materials in a mold, then heating and pressurizing the mold to obtain a silicone block with several remote control silicone buttons connected together. The buttons are then punched out of the silicone block using a punching device. Existing punching devices primarily use upper and lower molds to form cutting edges to cut the silicone buttons from the silicone block. During cutting, the silicone buttons remain on the support of the lower mold, and waste silicone blocks are pressed onto the lower mold by the upper mold. This makes it difficult for operators to remove the waste silicone blocks from the lower mold, reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The upper die is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. The lower die is fixedly mounted on the worktable and located directly below the upper die. The gasket is disposed between the upper die and the lower die. One end of the gasket is rotatably connected to the side of the lower die. The lower die is provided with several support members. The gasket has a receiving hole. When the gasket is attached to the lower die, the support members are located in the receiving hole.

[0005] Furthermore, the lower mold is provided with a rotating column and a limiting block. One end of the rotating column is connected to the lower mold, and the other end is connected to the limiting block. The gasket is provided with a collar, which is fitted onto the rotating column and located between the lower mold and the limiting block.

[0006] Furthermore, the limiting block is a screw, and the rotating column is provided with a screw hole that matches the screw.

[0007] Furthermore, the support member is divided into upper and lower rows, and a horizontal bar is provided in the receiving hole, with the horizontal bar located between the upper and lower rows of support members.

[0008] Furthermore, the receiving hole is rectangular, and the horizontal bar divides the receiving hole into two receiving holes of the same area.

[0009] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided below the end of the gasket opposite to the collar, and a notch is provided on the lower mold for placing the protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the punching device also includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly mounted on the worktable, and the cylinder is vertically mounted on the fixed frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the punching device includes two switches, which are respectively located on both sides of the lower die.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The punching device described in this application adds a shim that can rotate around the lower mold. After the punching device punches the silicone button of the remote control, the silicone waste can be easily pulled out of the lower mold by rotating the shim, reducing the difficulty for operators to clean the silicone waste on the lower mold and improving production efficiency. The shim can also be used to support the upper mold, preventing the upper module from damaging the silicone button of the remote control when punching it. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a punching device for silicone buttons on a remote control includes: a worktable 1, a cylinder 2, an upper mold 3, a lower mold 4, and a gasket 5. The cylinder 2 is vertically mounted on the worktable 1. The upper mold 3 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 2. The lower mold 4 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1 and located directly below the upper mold 3. The gasket 5 is disposed between the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4, with one end rotatably connected to the side of the lower mold 4. The lower mold 4 is provided with several support members 11. The gasket 5 has a receiving hole 6. When the gasket 5 is attached to the lower mold 4, the support members 11 are located in the receiving hole 6. During operation, the punching device first raises the upper mold 3 using the cylinder 2, then attaches the gasket 5 to the lower mold 4, and finally, according to the support members 11 of the lower mold 4, fits a silicone block onto the lower mold 4 and the gasket 5. The operator controls cylinder 2 to work. Cylinder 2 presses down the upper mold 3 through the piston rod to punch out the silicone buttons of the remote control on the silicone block. Then, cylinder 2 controls the upper mold 3 to rise, and the operator removes the silicone buttons of the remote control. Then, the gasket 5 is raised to pull the silicone waste upwards, so that the operator can easily remove the silicone waste and improve production efficiency.

[0025] In one embodiment, the lower mold 4 is provided with a rotating column 7 and a limiting block 8. One end of the rotating column 7 is connected to the lower mold 4, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 8. The gasket 5 is provided with a collar 9, which is fitted onto the rotating column 7 and located between the lower mold 4 and the limiting block 8. The gasket 5 rotates around the rotating column 7, which facilitates the rotation of the gasket 5 and prevents the gasket 5 from falling off the lower mold 4.

[0026] In one embodiment, the limiting block 8 is a screw, and the rotating column 7 is provided with a screw hole 10 that matches the screw. The washer 5 is fixed to the lower mold 4 by screws, which facilitates the removal of the washer 5.

[0027] In one embodiment, the support member 11 is divided into upper and lower rows, and a horizontal bar 12 is provided in the receiving hole 6, with the horizontal bar 12 located between the upper and lower rows of support members 11. The gasket 5 can more easily pull up the silicone waste through the horizontal bar 12, making it easier for operators to clean up the silicone waste.

[0028] In one embodiment, the receiving hole 6 is rectangular, and the horizontal bar 12 divides the receiving hole 6 into two receiving holes 6 with the same area.

[0029] In one embodiment, a protrusion 13 is provided below the end of the gasket 5 opposite to the collar 9, and a recess 14 is provided on the lower mold 4 for placing the protrusion 13. Operators can lift the gasket 5 through the protrusion 13, thereby improving production efficiency.
