[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a technical solution: an inner star wheel preforming mold, comprising a base 1, the top of the base 1 is fixed with two positioning rods 201, the outer sides of the two positioning rods 201 are slidingly connected with a top plate 202, the top of the base 1 is installed with a lower mold assembly 300, and the bottom of the top plate 202 is installed with an upper mold assembly 400; through the cooperation between the lower mold assembly 300 and the upper mold assembly 400 at the top of the base 1, the lower mold of the preforming mold can be replaced more conveniently, so that the staff does not need to diagonally tighten the bolts on the lower mold for multiple times, but only needs to use a small amount of bolts for basic positioning, which is convenient for the staff to disassemble and replace, thereby improving the convenience of the operation process, effectively improving the efficiency of the overall process, facilitating the adaptation to the use of inner star wheels of different sizes, and effectively improving the practicality of the inner star wheel preforming mold.
[0032] The lower mold assembly 300 in the embodiment is a structure for positioning and installing the lower mold.
[0033] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lower mold assembly 300 includes a mounting base 301 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, a connecting plate 302 fixed to the outside of the mounting base 301, a lower mold body 303 abutting against the top of the mounting base 301, a first pressing groove 304 formed by opening on the outside of the lower mold body 303 and forming an annular shape, a first pressing ring 305 abutting against the inner bottom wall of the first pressing groove 304, an annular cylinder 306 fixed to the outside of the first pressing ring 305, two inclined sliding holes 307 opened on the outside of the annular cylinder 306, two connecting holes 308 opened on the outside of the annular cylinder 306 and respectively communicating with the inside of the two inclined sliding holes 307, two inclined sliders 309 fixed to the outside of the mounting base 301, a fixing plate 310 fixed to the bottom of the annular cylinder 306, two first connecting pieces 311 passing through and locked between the fixing plate 310 and the top of the connecting plate 302, and two handles 312 fixed to the outside of the annular cylinder 306.
[0034] It should be noted that an ejector 5, which extends into the forming groove 601, is slidably connected between the bottom of the base 1 and the mounting base 301. The ejector 5 includes an ejector rod and an ejector plate fixed to the top of the ejector rod. The lower mold body 303 has a placement cavity that communicates with the inside of the forming groove 601 and is used to place the ejector plate. Specifically, the bottom end of the ejector 5 is connected to a linear drive device such as a hydraulic cylinder. The top of the top plate 202 is also connected to a linear drive device such as a hydraulic mechanism, so that the corresponding hydraulic mechanism can push the ejector 5 to move, thereby ejecting the workpiece in the forming groove 601. The hydraulic mechanism can drive the top plate 202 to move, and then perform pre-forming processing on the inner star wheel through the cooperation between the first punch 602 and the second punch 603 and the forming groove 601.

[0036] Meanwhile, the bottom of the connecting hole 308 is open, and the connecting hole 308 is located on one side of the higher point of the corresponding inclined sliding hole 307. The inclined slider 309 is slidably connected to the inner side of the corresponding inclined sliding hole 307. The inclined slider 309 can move to the inner side of the connecting hole 308, thereby allowing the inclined slider 309 to move from the outside to the inner side of the corresponding inclined sliding hole 307 through the connecting hole 308. Thus, the position of the annular cylinder 306 is restricted through the cooperation between the inclined slider 307 and the inclined sliding hole 307.

[0040] It should be noted that the second punch 603 penetrates the bottom of the mounting cylinder 401 and is inserted into the inner side of the mounting cylinder 401, so that the second punch 603 can be positioned and installed inside the mounting cylinder 401, the second pressing groove 604 is annular, and the bottom of the second pressing groove 604 is provided with an opening, the top of the second pressing ring 404 and the top of the second pressing groove 604 abut, at this time, the top end of the second punch 603 and the inner top wall of the mounting cylinder 401 abut, and the second punch 603 can be limited by the cooperation between the second pressing ring 404 and the second pressing groove 604.
[0041] In addition, the second connecting piece 406 and the first connecting piece 311 are both composed of a locking bolt and a locking nut, so that the second connecting piece 406 can connect and position the support plate 402 and the butt joint plate 405, and the first connecting piece 311 can position the fixed plate 310 and the connecting plate 302.
