Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining, and in particular to a vacuum adsorption structure for a rapid prototyping mold cavity. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum adsorption structures for rapid prototyping mold cavities are a technology used to improve molding quality and accelerate the production process. The core of this technology lies in using a vacuum pump or similar equipment to extract air from the mold cavity, creating a negative pressure environment. When preheated material (such as thermoplastic sheets or composite materials) is placed on the mold, activating the vacuum system rapidly draws the material in and tightly adheres it to the shape of the mold cavity. This not only helps reduce air bubbles and defects within the material but also ensures dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the final product.
[0003] When using vacuum adsorption technology to process materials, there are indeed some special considerations, especially when dealing with easily vaporized materials such as waxes. Waxes may vaporize when heated or exposed to a vacuum environment, and if this vaporized wax enters the vacuum system, it may condense and deposit on pipes or other critical components, causing blockages. This not only reduces system efficiency but can also lead to equipment malfunctions. Utility Model Content

The box body has an interface at the rear top, and a vacuum tube is connected to the box body through the interface. The gas duct is installed at the front end of the box body. A sealing ring is installed at the front end of the cover plate, and the cover plate is installed at the rear end opening of the box body through the sealing ring.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a vacuum adsorption structure for a rapid prototyping mold cavity includes an air source pipe 1, a pneumatic solenoid valve 2, a cable 3, a time relay 4, a vacuum generator 5, a vacuum port 6, a vacuum tube 7, and a vaporized material interception structure 8. The solenoid valve 2 is installed at the rear of the air source pipe 1, and the top end of the cable 3 is connected to the solenoid valve 2. The time relay 4 is connected to the pneumatic solenoid valve 2 through the cable 3. The vacuum generator 5 is installed at the front end of the air source pipe 1, the vacuum port 6 is installed at the bottom of the vacuum generator 5, the vacuum tube 7 is installed at the bottom of the vacuum generator 5 through the vacuum port 6, and the vaporized material interception structure 8 is installed at the bottom of the vacuum tube 7.
[0015] The vaporized substance interception structure 8 includes a box body 9, an interface 10, a gas duct 11, a cover plate 12, a sealing ring 13, a support column 14, an adsorption head 15, and a filter element 16. The box body 9 has an interface 10 at the rear top, and a vacuum tube 7 is connected to the box body 9 through the interface 10. The gas duct 11 is installed at the front end of the box body 9. The sealing ring 13 is installed at the front end of the cover plate 12, and the cover plate 12 is installed at the rear end opening of the box body 9 through the sealing ring 13. The support column 14 is fixed to the middle of the front end of the cover plate 12. The adsorption head 15 is installed in the front part of the gas duct 11 through the support column 14. The filter element 16 is installed in the rear part of the gas duct 11 through the support column 14.
[0016] The cover plate 12 is used to load and unload the adsorption head 15 and the filter element 16 via the support column 14.
[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The housing 9 is connected to the exhaust port of the rapid prototyping mold via the air conduit 11, which connects to the cavity. The system is connected to a compressed air supply source via the air source pipe 1. In the initial state, the pneumatic solenoid valve 2 is closed to prevent gas from flowing to the vacuum generator 5. When workpiece adsorption is required, the control system sends a signal to the time relay 4 via the cable 3, thereby activating the pneumatic solenoid valve 2. This process can be achieved through programming or manual operation, depending on the application requirements. Once the pneumatic solenoid valve 2 is activated, it allows compressed air to flow from the air source pipe 1 into the vacuum generator 5. The vacuum generator uses fluid dynamics principles to convert the high-speed flowing compressed air into a vacuum, thereby generating negative pressure at the vacuum port 6. Gas and vapors in the cavity enter the air conduit 11 due to the negative pressure. When passing through the material hanging filter element 16, the vapors condense and hang on the material hanging filter element 16. The material hanging filter element 16 can be replaced by opening the cover plate 12, reducing the deposition of vapors on the vacuum system.
[0018] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, based on the teachings of the present utility model, still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
