Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold changing device technology, and more specifically, to a rapid mold changing system for a production line. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, production lines for automotive sealing strips consist of a frame on which several sets of molds are installed at intervals from front to back. When different types of automotive sealing strips need to be produced, different molds need to be changed. The current method for changing molds is as follows: first, the mold is removed from the frame and carried off the frame. Then, the mold removed from the frame needs to be manually moved and placed on a mold placement rack. Next, the molds for producing different types of automotive sealing strips need to be carried off the mold placement rack and assembled onto the frame. The above steps are repeated to change all the molds on the frame. However, in the above process, the handling of molds is all done manually, which results in low mold changing efficiency and high labor intensity for workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a quick mold change system for production lines, which can facilitate mold replacement and effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0004] This utility model provides a rapid mold change system for a production line, including a frame on which several sets of molds are installed at intervals from front to back. The molds are used to produce automotive sealing strips. The rapid mold change system also includes a mold placement rack and a transport vehicle. The mold placement rack is located on one side of the frame, and the transport vehicle is located between the frame and the mold placement rack and can move back and forth relative to the ground. A lifting support platform is connected to the transport vehicle. The mold placement rack is provided with several placement areas at intervals from bottom to top. Each placement area is provided with several placement platforms distributed from front to back, and each placement platform is used to hold idle molds.

[0005] By adopting the above-described structure, this utility model can facilitate mold replacement and effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0006] In one possible implementation, two tracks are fixed on the ground between the machine frame and the mold placement rack, spaced apart from left to right. Each track extends from front to back. Several rollers are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the transport vehicle, spaced apart from front to back. Each roller can be rolled and supported on the corresponding track. With this structure, the transport vehicle can reliably move back and forth relative to the ground with the cooperation of the rollers and tracks. That is, when the transport vehicle is pushed, it can reliably move back and forth relative to the ground along the tracks.

[0007] In one possible implementation, several rotating rollers, spaced apart from left to right, are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the lifting support platform to support the mold. With the rotating rollers, during the process of the worker pulling the mold from the frame or the placement platform onto the lifting support platform, or pulling the mold from the lifting support platform onto the frame or the placement platform, the rotating rollers can cooperate with the lower end face of the mold to roll, so as to facilitate pulling the mold onto the lifting support platform or pulling the mold out of the lifting support platform.

[0008] In one possible implementation, each placement platform includes several support rollers spaced apart from left to right and two support beams arranged symmetrically front to back. Both ends of each support beam are fixed to the mold placement frame, and both ends of each support roller are rotatably connected to the corresponding two support beams. With this structure, the support rollers in each placement platform can reliably support idle molds. Since both ends of each support roller are rotatably connected to the corresponding two support beams, the support rollers can roll in cooperation with the bottom of the mold during the process of pulling the mold onto the placement platform or pulling the mold off the placement platform, thereby reducing the friction between the mold and the placement platform, which makes pulling the mold easier.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0014] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] See Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a quick mold change system for a production line, including a frame 1, on which a plurality of molds 2 are installed at intervals from front to back. The molds 2 are used to produce automotive sealing strips. The quick mold change system for the production line also includes a mold placement rack 3 and a transport vehicle 4. The mold placement rack 3 is located on one side of the frame 1, and the transport vehicle 4 is located between the frame 1 and the mold placement rack 3 and can move back and forth relative to the ground. A lifting support platform 5 is connected to the transport vehicle 4. The mold placement rack 3 is provided with a plurality of placement areas 31 at intervals from bottom to top. Each placement area 31 is provided with a plurality of placement platforms 6 distributed from front to back. Each placement platform 6 is used to hold idle molds.

[0016] Two tracks 7 are fixed on the ground between the frame 1 and the mold placement rack 3, with the tracks 7 extending from front to back. Several rollers 41 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the transport vehicle 4, with the rollers 41 also extending from front to back. Each roller 41 can be rolled and supported on the corresponding track 7. With this structure, the transport vehicle can reliably move back and forth relative to the ground under the cooperation of the rollers and tracks. That is, when the transport vehicle is pushed, it can reliably move back and forth relative to the ground along the tracks.

[0017] Several rotating rollers 51, which are distributed from left to right and used to support the mold 2, are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the lifting support platform 5. Through the setting of the rotating rollers, when the operator pulls the mold from the machine frame or the placement platform to the lifting support platform, or pulls the mold from the lifting support platform to the machine frame or the placement platform, the rotating rollers can cooperate with the lower end face of the mold to roll, so as to facilitate pulling the mold onto the lifting support platform or pulling the mold off the lifting support platform.

[0018] Each placement platform 6 includes several support rollers 61 spaced from left to right and two support beams 62 arranged symmetrically front to back. Both ends of each support beam 62 are fixed to the mold placement frame 3, and both ends of each support roller 61 are rotatably connected to the corresponding two support beams 62. With this structure, the support rollers in each placement platform can reliably support the idle mold. Since both ends of each support roller are rotatably connected to the corresponding two support beams, the support rollers can roll with the bottom of the mold during the process of pulling the mold onto the placement platform or pulling the mold off the placement platform, thereby reducing the friction between the mold and the placement platform, which makes pulling the mold easier.

[0019] When using this invention, if different types of automotive sealing strips need to be produced and the mold located on the frame needs to be replaced, firstly, the mold is separated from the frame. Then, the mold on the frame is pulled onto the lifting support platform. Next, the height of the lifting support platform is adjusted so that the upper surface of the lifting support platform is flush with the bottom of the placement area of ​​the mold to be placed. Then, the lifting support platform is moved to the corresponding placement platform by moving the transport vehicle back and forth. Then, the mold on the lifting support platform is pulled onto the corresponding placement platform. Then, the transport vehicle is moved back and forth and the height of the lifting support platform is adjusted again. Then, the mold on the corresponding placement platform is pulled onto the lifting support platform. Then, the mold on the lifting support platform is moved to the frame of the mold to be placed by moving the transport vehicle back and forth and adjusting the height of the lifting support platform. Finally, the mold on the lifting support platform is pulled onto the frame and fixed to the frame. By repeating the above steps, all molds can be replaced. In the above mold replacement process, since there is no need to manually move the mold up or down, it can facilitate mold replacement and effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0020] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
