Description

Technical Field

[0002] A mold is a special tool mainly used to process materials such as metals, plastics, and rubber, shaping them into desired forms and sizes. They can be mainly divided into: 1. Metal molds: including stamping dies, forging dies, extrusion dies, die-casting dies, and forging dies; 2. Non-metallic molds: including plastic molds, inorganic non-metallic molds, sand molds, vacuum molds, and paraffin molds; 3. Plastic molds: based on the type of gating system, they are divided into large-gate molds, small-gate molds, and hot runner molds. In the mold processing field, temperature control is one of the key factors affecting product quality and production efficiency. Especially in processes such as plastic injection molding and die casting, precise temperature control of the mold is crucial to ensuring the quality of the molded parts; excessively high or low mold temperatures can lead to product defects.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mold structure with a multi-directional circulating cooling channel, including an operating table 1, a support base 2 fixedly installed on the table surface of the operating table 1, and a lower module 3 fixedly installed on the support base 2 to facilitate stable support of the lower module 3 by the support base 2. At the same time, support frames 4 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the operating table 1, and two telescopic air pumps 5 are fixedly installed on the support frames 4. The pump rods 6 of the two air pumps 5 pass through the support frames 4 and are fixedly connected to the upper module 7, so that the air pumps 5 can drive the upper module 7 to move up and down, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the upper module 7 and the lower module 3.

[0026] The lower module 3 consists of a lower fixing plate 31 and a lower template 32, while the upper module 7 consists of an upper fixing plate 71 and an upper template 72. The lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71 have the same composition and function, and mounting slots 13 are provided inside the lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71. The lower template 32 and the upper template 72 are respectively embedded in the mounting slots 13 in the lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71 and fixedly connected by screws. Different types of mold plates can be installed in the mounting slots 13, thereby achieving versatility in use. Cooling components 12 are installed inside the lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71 to maintain the cooling effect of the upper fixing plate 71 and the lower fixing plate 31.

[0027] A water tank 8 is fixedly installed below the control panel 1. The water tank 8 is connected to a water pump 9 through a pipe, so that the water pump 9 can pump and transport the cooling water inside the water tank 8. At the same time, the water pump 9 is connected to a three-way valve 10 through a water pipe 91, so that the flow of cooling water can be controlled by the three-way valve 10. The three-way valve 10 is connected to the cooling components 12 inside the lower module 3 and the upper module 7 through hoses 11. The cooling components 12 consist of two four-way valves 121, a main cooling pipe 122, a secondary cooling pipe 123 and several adapters 124. One side of the two four-way valves 121 is connected to the three-way valve 10 through hoses 11, and the other side of the four-way valves 121 is connected to three main cooling pipes 122. The flow efficiency of the cooling water can be adjusted by the four-way valves 121, and an adjustment mechanism 14 is provided inside the four-way valves 121.

[0028] Meanwhile, three main cooling pipes 122 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 13. The other end of the main cooling pipe 122 is connected to the auxiliary cooling pipe 123. Several adapters 124 are evenly installed on the main cooling pipe 122. The bottom of the adapter 124 is provided with a threaded interface 125. Different temperature-conducting rods 126 and temperature-conducting plates 127 are screwed onto the adapter 124 through the threaded interface 125. In this way, not only can the main cooling pipe 122 be used to transfer cooling water to the auxiliary cooling pipe 123, but also the different temperature-conducting rods 126 and temperature-conducting plates 127 can be used for comprehensive heat conduction and heat dissipation of the mold plate, thereby accelerating the cooling effect.

[0029] The auxiliary cooling pipes 123 are evenly arranged in the inner walls of the lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71, and are located outside the mounting groove 13. The auxiliary cooling pipes 123 are installed in a serpentine structure, with the other end passing through both sides of the lower fixing plate 31 and the upper fixing plate 71 and being connected to the water tank 8 through the hose 11. In this way, the cooled water can be transported back to the water tank 8, thereby maintaining a stable cooling water supply circulation function.

[0030] Meanwhile, the adjustment mechanism 14 consists of a slider 141, a slide rod 142, and a lead screw 143. One end of the lead screw 143 is fixedly connected to a knob 144, and the other end of the lead screw 143 passes through a four-way valve 121 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the four-way valve 121 via a pin. The slide rod 142 is fixedly connected parallel to the lead screw 143. The top end of the slider 141 is fitted onto the slide rod 142 for sliding connection, while the center of the slider 141 is fitted onto the lead screw 143 for threaded transmission connection. A rubber sealing gasket 145 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 141 and fits against the inlet of the main cooling pipe 122. In this way, the slider 141 can be moved inside the four-way valve 121 by the rotation of the lead screw 143, and the movement of the slider 141 can be used to open and close the main cooling pipe 122.

[0031] Working principle: In use, this utility model injects an appropriate amount of cooling water into the water tank 8. A water pump 9 is connected to one side of the water tank 8, and the output of the water pump 9 is connected to a three-way valve 10 via a water pipe 91. The output of the three-way valve 10 is then connected to the cooling assembly 12 inside the upper fixed plate 71 and the lower fixed plate 31 via hoses 11. A four-way valve 121 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper fixed plate 71 and the lower fixed plate 31, and three main cooling pipes 122 are connected to the other side of the four-way valve 121. The main cooling pipes 122 are evenly installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 13. The other end of the cooling pipe 122 is connected to the auxiliary cooling pipe 123, which is installed in a serpentine structure in the inner wall of the fixed plate. The inner walls of the upper fixed plate 71 and the lower fixed plate 31 are provided with mounting grooves 13, and the mold plate is embedded in the mounting grooves 13 to maintain the stable installation of the mold plate. At the same time, when the water pump 9 supplies cooling water, the main cooling pipe 122 can be closed and opened through the adjustment mechanism 14 inside the four-way valve 121, thereby adjusting the cooling effect of different mold plates. This not only adjusts the cooling effect of the mold plate, but also further improves the versatility of the device.
