Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial plant processing, and in particular to a mold for artificial plants. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial cactus plants are artificial plant decorations that highly simulate the appearance of real cacti. They come in various types, features, and applications. In the processing of artificial cactus plants, in order to accurately replicate the shape of the cactus and ensure that each artificial cactus is highly consistent in size, proportion, and outline, a uniform mold is required. This ensures that the shapes of each cactus are coordinated and enhances the overall aesthetics.
[0003] Traditional artificial plant molds typically use bolts to connect the upper and lower molds. This method requires additional tools to repeatedly tighten the bolts for disassembly when the mold needs maintenance or replacement, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but also consumes a lot of time, seriously affecting production efficiency. Moreover, frequent disassembly and installation can lead to wear and damage to mold components, reducing the mold's lifespan. Secondly, traditional mold cooling methods are often ineffective and slow, resulting in long demolding times for the workpiece. Due to untimely cooling, product defects such as deformation and dimensional deviations are prone to occur, seriously affecting product quality. This not only increases the scrap rate but also raises production costs. Therefore, a new type of artificial plant mold is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides one embodiment: a mold for simulated plants, including a mounting base 1, with a lower mold 2 placed at the top of the mounting base 1. The lower mold 2 cooperates with an upper mold 8, enabling the cactus raw material to be processed into the desired product shape within a specific shape and space, such as... Figure 1As shown, the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 8 have grooves formed by cacti. The side wall of the lower mold 2 is fixedly connected to an insert tube 3. Two sets of insert tubes 3 and fixed tubes 7 are provided, symmetrically positioned on the lower mold 2 and the mounting base 1. A limiting mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the insert tube 3. The top of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed tube 7, which matches the insert tube 3, allowing for initial insertion and positioning of the lower mold 2. The upper mold 8 is located at the top of the lower mold 2. A conical sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed tube 7. The conical sleeve 9 is... The curved surface, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, allows the fixed tube 7 to be quickly positioned and inserted. A heat dissipation component is provided at the bottom of the lower mold 2. The limiting mechanism includes a moving plate 5, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion tube 3. The insertion tube 3 has a corresponding slot for the moving plate 5, which allows the moving plate 5 to move laterally along the inner wall of the insertion tube 3. A wedge 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving plate 5. The wedge 6 is inclined. When the inclined surface is squeezed, the wedge 6 will move along the inner wall of the insertion tube 3. The outer wall of the moving plate 5 is elastically connected to the insertion tube 3 through a return spring 4.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heat dissipation assembly includes a connecting plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower mold 2. The connecting plate 10 has a slot, which allows some heat to be blown from the slot to the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 is made of aluminum alloy thermally conductive material, which can absorb heat and dissipate it through external wind. A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 10, and a fan 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11. A condenser pipe 13 is provided through the inner wall of the lower mold 2. The cooling medium, usually cold water or coolant, circulates in the condenser pipe 13 to absorb heat from the steam or gas, cool it, and condense it into liquid. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail. A heat dissipation groove 14 is provided on the outer wall of the lower mold 2, which allows some heat to be discharged from the heat dissipation groove 14, improving the heat dissipation effect of the lower mold 2. The lower end of the motor 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 has a slot for placing the motor 11, which will not affect the normal placement of the motor 11.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3The outer wall of the movable plate 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 4. When the movable plate 5 moves to the right, it will compress the return spring 4. When resetting, the elastic force of the return spring 4 will carry the movable plate 5 to reset. The other end of the return spring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the insertion tube 3. The wedge 6 passes through and slides on the inner wall of the insertion tube 3. The insertion tube 3 has a slot corresponding to the wedge 6, which allows the wedge 6 to pass through the insertion tube 3 and be inserted into the fixed tube 7. The wedge 6 is inserted into the outer wall of the fixed tube 7. The outer wall of the fixed tube 7 has a slot corresponding to the wedge 6, which allows it to be inserted into the fixed tube 7 and limit the entire insertion tube 3 in one direction. The outer wall of the insertion tube 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the conical sleeve 9. The insertion tube 3 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed tube 7.
[0035] Working principle: First, when the lower mold 2 and upper mold 8 need to be disassembled and replaced, simply move the moving plate 5 to the right, moving the wedge 6 and compressing the return spring 4. The wedge 6 separates from the groove of the fixed tube 7. Then, move the insert tube 3 upward with the lower mold 2, separating the insert tube 3 from the groove of the fixed tube 7. Finally, release the moving plate 5 and use the reverse elastic force of the return spring 4 to reset the wedge 6 and the moving plate 5. When the mounting base 1 needs to be installed, simply align the insert tube 3 on the lower mold 2 with the conical sleeve 9 and the fixed tube 7 and insert it. Let the insert tube 3 quickly fix itself inside the tube 7 along the arc surface of the conical sleeve 9, and use the arc surface of the conical sleeve 9 to press the inclined surface of the wedge 6, allowing the wedge 6 to move to the right with the moving plate 5 and compress the return spring 4. When the wedge 6 and the groove of the fixed tube 7 coincide, use the reverse elastic force of the return spring 4 to reset the moving plate 5 and the wedge 6, allowing the wedge 6 to be inserted into the groove of the fixed tube 7 to limit the entire lower mold 2 and the insert tube 3 in one direction.
[0036] After the injection molding process is completed and before demolding, the condenser pipe 13 and fan 12 can be activated. The liquid in the condenser pipe 13 absorbs the heat transferred from the lower mold 2. When the fan 12 blows on the surface of the condenser pipe 13, it will accelerate the air flow on the surface of the condenser pipe 13, thereby increasing the speed at which heat is dissipated from the surface of the condenser pipe 13 to the surrounding air. The condenser pipe 13 can maintain a low temperature and continuously absorb the heat from the bottom of the lower mold 2 to cool down the lower mold 2. Finally, the heat can be discharged from the heat dissipation groove 14, so that the workpiece can be quickly cooled and demolded.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
