Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold equipment technology, and specifically discloses a mold library. Background Technology

[0002] In extrusion molding equipment, to achieve simultaneous molding of multiple products, multiple presses are typically installed on the production line. Each press holds a different mold to achieve extrusion molding. Currently, the most common method is to hoist the molds into the molding equipment using a mold trolley or overhead crane. However, this method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and poses significant safety hazards during production. To address these drawbacks, as a manufacturer and R&D unit for this type of equipment, we designed an automated production line based on production needs. However, in actual operation, this production line requires a dedicated mold supply system. Currently, mold supply mainly involves personnel placing molds onto the conveyor line. This method is labor-intensive, cannot seamlessly integrate with automated production lines, and still poses significant safety risks. Therefore, in the current trend of automation equipment upgrades, this mold supply method cannot meet production demands.

[0003] To address the aforementioned drawbacks, it is necessary to design a mold library that seamlessly integrates with the production line, enabling the simultaneous supply of multiple molds during production, thereby reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency.

[0019] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this utility model discloses a mold library and provides a detailed illustration of its specific structure. Furthermore, specific embodiments are provided to explain its usage. Those skilled in the art can implement this technical solution or make further technical extensions based on it. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.

[0020] Example 1: A mold storage unit, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached figure, includes a base 1 and a top frame 2. A guide post 3 and a lifting area 4 are arranged between the base 1 and the top frame 2. A lifting cylinder 6 is arranged on the side of the lifting area 4 as a vertical driving device to realize the vertical movement of the lifting area 4 along the guide post 3. The lifting area 4 is provided with multiple mold placement platforms 41. Each mold placement platform 41 is provided with a front positioning device and a rear positioning device. In this example, the front positioning device is a front positioning cylinder 45 and a front positioning pin 46. The front positioning device is adjustable. When the mold 7 enters each mold placement platform 41, the front positioning pin 46 rises vertically to lock the positioning groove 72 on the mold 7. This utility model is equipped with a rear positioning post 49 as a rear positioning device. However, it should be noted that even if this utility model is equipped with a rear positioning post 49, the mold cannot be directly used to impact the rear positioning post 49 to achieve positioning. Such an impact will damage the mold 7. When the mold 7 moves into the mold library, the mold 7 reaches the rear end of the mold placement platform 41. The rear support wheel 22 on the mold placement platform 41 provides vertical sliding support. When the mold 7 touches the rear sensor 26, the hook used to drive the mold 7 will no longer drive it backward.

[0021] Furthermore, this utility model includes a flow guiding device within each mold placement platform 41, the flow guiding device being located on the side and the mold placement platform surface. For example... Figure 4As shown, it includes a guide bar 47 on the top surface of the mold placement platform 41, and a mold placement platform guide wheel 48 is provided on the guide bar 47; it also includes a side guide rod 42 on the side of the mold placement platform 41, and a side guide wheel 43 is provided on the side guide rod 42; the mold placement platform guide wheel 48 and the side guide wheel 43 cooperate to realize the stable entry and exit of the mold 7 on the mold placement platform 41.

[0022] Because the lifting area 4 in this utility model is multi-layered, it must be vertically lifted to select the mold 7 on different mold placement platforms 41. Therefore, when selecting the mold 7, the vertical stability of the lifting area 4 must be ensured. Thus, a positioning pin 52 is provided between the lifting area 4 and the outside. The positioning pin 52 is provided on the locking cylinder 51, which is provided on the locking positioning frame 5. The positioning pin 52 is provided with a positioning hole 44 on the lifting area 4. The two are inserted and cooperated to achieve locking and positioning.

[0023] Furthermore, this invention includes a movable limit rod 24 on the lifting area 4, with a trigger plate 25 at the end of the movable limit rod 24. A position sensor 26 is mounted on the rear frame 21 in conjunction with the movable limit rod 24. By setting two position sensors 26, one at the top and one at the bottom, respectively, the lifting area 4 can be limited during vertical movement.

[0024] Furthermore, each mold placement platform 41 is equipped with a layer positioning sensor 27. Through the cooperation of the layer positioning sensor 27 and the trigger 28, the movement and positioning of the mold placement platform 41 are finally realized.

[0025] When using this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, several presses and at least one mold library disclosed in this utility model are correspondingly arranged on the side of the transverse conveyor line 9. Guide rails 91 are respectively arranged on the transverse conveyor line 9 corresponding to the mold library 7 and the presses. The guide rails 91 are equipped with a traction device and a moving part. The moving part is hinged with a hook 8, which realizes the hooking and traction of the mold 12. The traction device can be a drive cylinder or a ring chain. Those skilled in the art can realize the above structure under the guidance of the above description, and the drive details are not described in detail here. This utility model realizes the hooking of the mold 7 on the mold placement platform 41 by the external vertically lifting and pulling hook 8, and then pulls back and forth to realize the entry and exit of the mold 7 on different mold placement platforms 41.

[0026] This utility model can realize the simultaneous entry and exit of multiple molds 7 and automatically supply the production line. It has a high degree of automation, improves production efficiency, reduces manual operation, and can be seamlessly matched with automated production lines. It is an ideal mold library.
