Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of film production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic die cleaning device for casting machine molds. Background Technology

[0002] Cast film manufacturers often encounter quality problems during film production, such as die head and die opening gaps, especially the narrower gap in the die shaping section, due to blockages caused by raw material impurities, masterbatches, fillers, coke, etc., and surface scratches caused by carbon buildup over long periods of production. Current technology typically involves manually inserting long, flat copper sheets (plates) into the die opening gap to remove impurities and scrape off carbon buildup. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially with wider casting dies, requiring 3 to 4 people to work simultaneously. Because of the high temperature of the die and limited operating space underneath, burns frequently occur, severely impacting production efficiency and safety.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide an automatic die cleaning device for casting machine molds to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a casting machine mold cleaning device to solve the problem that the common solution in the prior art is to use a toothed hacksaw blade or a long strip of flat copper sheet (plate) with straight sides to insert into the gap of the mold opening to pick out the debris. This method is relatively laborious, and the tools are easy to rub against the mold opening and cause scratches when cleaning manually, thus affecting the film quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic mold cleaning device for a casting machine includes a slide rail, a sliding seat slidably connected to the side of the slide rail, a side block installed on the side of the sliding seat, a locking block installed on the side of the side block, a scraper fixedly connected to the locking block by a locking knob, and an installation groove installed at the top of the scraper, a copper sheet fixedly connected to the installation groove by a fixing screw.

[0007] Preferably, support rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the slide rail, and racks are fixedly connected to the two support rods. The racks are parallel to the support rods and have the same length.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is installed inside the side block, and a gear is driven to the output end of the motor, the gear meshing with a rack.

[0009] Preferably, infrared sensors are installed at both ends of the slide rail, and the infrared sensors are used to detect the position of the sliding seat.

[0010] Preferably, the copper sheet has a thickness of 0.08mm-1.0mm, and the two sides of the copper sheet are arc-shaped.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention achieves automatic cleaning of the die opening by setting up a slide rail, scraper, motor, and sliding seat. In use, the scraper is inserted from the bottom of the locking block until the copper piece at the tip of the scraper is inserted into the die opening. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the gear to rotate, causing the gear to move on the rack, thereby driving the moving seat to move laterally along the slide rail. At this time, the copper piece cleans the residual material in the die opening. When the sliding seat moves to the end, it is detected by an infrared sensor, and the motor rotates in the opposite direction, and the scraper automatically performs reciprocating motion. Compared with the existing cleaning methods, this invention can automatically clean the die opening, which is more convenient to use, avoids scratches, and improves the film quality.

[0024] Please see Figs. 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution for an automatic mold cleaning device for casting machine molds: including a slide rail 1, a sliding seat 3 installed on the side of the slide rail 1, a side block 4 installed on the side of the sliding seat 3, a locking block 6 installed on the side of the side block 4, a scraper 10 fixedly connected to the locking block 6 by a locking knob 5, and an installation groove 12 installed at the top of the scraper 10, and a copper sheet 13 fixedly connected to the installation groove 12 by a fixing screw 11.

[0025] Support rods 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the slide rail 1. A rack 9 is fixedly connected to the two support rods 2. The rack 9 is parallel to the support rods 2 and has the same length. A motor 7 is installed inside the side block 4. A gear 8 is connected to the output end of the motor 7. The gear 8 meshes with the rack 9.

[0026] Infrared sensors are installed at both ends of the slide rail 1. The infrared sensors are used to detect the position of the slide block 3, so that the slide block 3 can move back and forth automatically.

[0027] The thickness of the copper sheet 13 is 0.8mm-1.0mm. The hardness of the copper sheet 13 is lower than that of the die opening to avoid scratches. The two sides of the copper sheet 13 are arc-shaped. When scraping, the residual material is pushed out along the arc-shaped edge to clean the residue.

[0028] In practical use, the scraper 10 is inserted from the bottom of the locking block 6 until the copper sheet 13 at the top of the scraper 10 is inserted into the mold opening. Then, the motor 7 is started, and the motor 7 drives the gear 8 to rotate, so that the gear 8 moves on the rack 9, thereby driving the moving seat 3 to move laterally along the slide rail 1. At this time, the copper sheet 13 cleans the residual material in the mold opening. When the sliding seat 3 moves to the end, it is detected by the infrared sensor, and the motor 7 rotates in the opposite direction. The scraper 10 automatically realizes reciprocating motion. Compared with the existing cleaning method, this utility model can automatically clean the mold opening, which is more convenient to use, while avoiding scratches and improving the film quality.
