[0020] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a molding die positioning device, including a lower die 1, an upper die 2, a support frame 3, and an upper template 4 that is slidably disposed inside the support frame 3 via a first linear drive 5. The lower die 1 is installed on the lower inner side of the support frame 3, and the upper die 2 is fixed to the bottom end of the upper template 4. Specifically, the support frame 3 includes a base 301 and a top plate 302 that are parallel to each other. The base 301 and the top plate 302 are connected and fixedly connected by four guide rods 303. The upper template 4 is slidably connected to the guide rods 303. A fixing rod 401 is vertically disposed in the middle of the top of the upper template 4. The first linear drive 5 can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The first linear drive 5 is installed on the top of the support frame 3, and the output end of the first linear drive 5 extends to the inner side of the support frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 401. Through the extension and retraction of the first linear drive 5, the upper template 4 is driven to move up and down on the guide rod 303, which improves the stability and accuracy of the movement of the upper die 2, avoids misalignment during mold closing, and improves the product molding quality.

[0021] In this embodiment, four pads 7 are provided at the top of the base 301 and are located at the four corners of the bottom of the lower mold 1. The pads 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower mold 1 by bolts, which can reserve a gap between the bottom of the lower mold 1 and the base 301 to facilitate air flow and thus facilitate the cooling and forming of the mold.

[0022] The lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are provided with a positioning mechanism 6 for locking during mold closing. The positioning mechanism 6 includes several movable rods 601 arranged parallel to each side wall of the upper mold 2, two positioning rods 602 fixed on the side of the movable rods 601 near the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, and a drive module that drives the movable rods 601 to move synchronously towards or away from the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2. The two positioning rods 602 on the movable rods 601 correspond to the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 respectively. The side walls of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are provided with positioning holes 603 that are adapted to the positioning rods 602. When the mold is closed, the two positioning rods 602 on each side are inserted into the two positioning holes 603 respectively, so that the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 fit more tightly and at the same time play a locking role to prevent the mold from deforming during the molding process. The movable rods 601 and the positioning rods 602 are set on the upper mold 2 so that they can rise with the upper mold 2 during mold opening to avoid affecting the material output.

[0023] In this embodiment, the driving module includes a rotating disk 605 rotatably mounted at the center of the top of the upper mold plate 4 and several connecting rods 606 corresponding one-to-one with the movable rods 601. Both the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 have square cross-sections, therefore the four movable rods 601 are of the same length. When the length and width of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are different, the length of the connecting rods 606 can be adjusted accordingly. One end of the connecting rod 606 is rotatably connected to the edge of the rotating disk 605, and the other end of the connecting rod 606 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable rod 601 via a pin. The length and width of the upper mold plate 4 are both greater than the length and width of the upper mold 2. A limiting sliding hole 402 is provided at the edge of the upper mold plate 4 to restrict the pin from moving radially along the rotating disk 605. A mechanism is provided on the side wall of the upper mold 2 to drive any one of the movable rods 601 along the radial direction of the rotating disk 605. The second linear drive 604, which moves back and forth, has a fixed rod 401 that is cylindrical in shape. The rotating disk 605 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the fixed rod 401 via bearings. The second linear drive 604 is a threaded rod that is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the upper mold 2. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable rod 601. By rotating, the movable rod 601 moves closer to or further away from the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2. Alternatively, the second linear drive 604 can be configured as a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. When any movable rod 601 moves horizontally, the rotating disk 605 is pushed to rotate via the connecting rod 606, which in turn drives the other movable rod 601 to move synchronously, locking the four side walls of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 simultaneously. This makes the operation convenient and quick, while reducing equipment investment.

[0024] Furthermore, the side wall of the upper mold 2 is provided with several limiting rods 607 to guide and limit the movable rods 601, so that the positioning rod 602 is always located on the side facing the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2. Specifically, the limiting rod 607 is vertically fixed on the outer side wall of the upper mold 2, and the movable rod 601 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 607, so that the movable rod 601 slides back and forth along the length direction of the limiting rod 607, so as to avoid the movable rod 601 rotating during use, which would cause the positioning rod 602 to be misaligned with the positioning hole 603.

[0025] Furthermore, the end of the positioning rod 602 is provided with a guide portion 6021 whose size gradually decreases from one end near the movable rod 601 to the other end, so as to facilitate the insertion of the positioning rod 602 into the positioning hole 603.

[0026] Working principle: The extension and retraction of the first linear drive 5 pushes the upper mold plate 4 to slide up and down on the guide rod 303, thereby driving the upper mold 2 to move up and down to close and separate with the lower mold 1. When the mold is closed, the bottom end of the upper mold 2 abuts against the top end of the lower mold 1. Then, the second linear drive 604 pushes the movable rod 601 connected to it to move closer to the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 until the two positioning rods 602 are inserted into the positioning holes 603 on the side walls of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 respectively. The movable rod 601 drives the rotating disk 605 to rotate through the connecting rod 606, thereby driving the other movable rods 601 to move the same distance, locking the side walls of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, making the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 fit more tightly, and keeping them relatively fixed during casting, thus improving the product molding quality.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
