[0002] The refrigerator drip tray is an important component inside the refrigerator, mainly used to collect and store condensation produced in the refrigerator compartment. The drip tray is usually installed at the bottom of the back of the refrigerator, above the compressor. Condensation flows into the drip tray through the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment and is then evaporated by the heat from the compressor. Special molds are used in the production of refrigerator drip trays to ensure that the shape, size, and precision of the drip tray meet design requirements. This ensures that the drip tray can effectively collect condensation and defrost water generated inside the refrigerator, preventing water overflow and environmental pollution. Some refrigerator drip trays are screwed to the inner wall of the refrigerator, so drilling is required during production. However, when the lower mold moves the formed drip tray, misalignment can easily cause deviations in the drilling position. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, a limiting component for a refrigerator drip tray mold is provided to solve the problem that the drip tray is easily deviated when the lower mold of the refrigerator drip tray moves, causing the hole position to deviate.

[0008] Furthermore, a sensor is embedded in the middle of the upper surface of the mold base, and a small motor is fixed to the right end face of the transverse adjustment frame; and an adjustment screw is connected to the left shaft of the small motor.

[0009] Furthermore, two sets of adjusting screws are symmetrically installed on the front side groove of the transverse adjusting frame; and the two sets of adjusting screws are connected by a connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a driving block is fixed to the rear side of the limiting clamp, and the limiting clamp and the front push plate are vertically intersecting; and the limiting clamp runs through the interior of the front push plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is installed on the rear end face of the front push plate, and a first electric push rod is fixed on the outer side of the limiting clamp.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the limiting component of the refrigerator drip tray mold of this utility model utilizes the limiting clamping plate, front push plate, first electric push rod, rear push plate and second electric push rod at the upper end of the mold base to form a quick-release limiting clamping component, which limits and clamps the refrigerator drip tray mold in the center position of the mold base.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a limiting component for a refrigerator drip tray mold, including: a mold base 1 and a mold body 3, with the mold body 3 placed on the upper surface of the mold base 1.

[0020] The mold body 3 has symmetrical clamping and limiting clamping plates 2 on its left and right sides. The limiting clamping plates 2 are connected to the front push plate 21 through the first electric push rod 22. The front push plate 21 is symmetrically attached to the front side of the mold body 3 on its left and right sides. A transverse adjustment frame 4 is welded to the rear side of the upper end face of the mold base 1. An adjustment screw 42 is installed in the groove at the front end of the transverse adjustment frame 4. The surface of the adjustment screw 42 is connected to the limiting clamping plate 2 through the drive block 23. A rear push plate 5 is attached to the rear side of the mold body 3. The lower end of the rear push plate 5 is connected to the second electric push rod 52 through the limiting slide plate 53.

[0021] First, the mold body 3 is placed on the mold base 1. At this time, the sensor 12 on the mold base 1 senses the signal of the mold and sends it to the controller 11. The controller 11 controls the small motor 41 to start, so that the rotating adjusting screw 42 drives the two sets of limiting clamps 2 to move synchronously towards the center until the limiting clamps 2 are in contact with the left and right sides of the mold body 3. The first electric push rod 22 and the second electric push rod 52 retract simultaneously. The retraction of the first electric push rod 22 drives the front push plate 21 to move backward, and the retraction of the second electric push rod 52 drives the rear push plate 5 to move forward, until the front push plate 21 and the rear push plate 5 are both in contact with the front and rear sides of the mold body 3 under the same force, thus limiting and positioning the mold body 3. The mold base 1 can be installed with an external slide mechanism (not shown in the figure), which facilitates the slide mechanism to drive the mold body 3, which is clamped by the upper limit of the mold base 1, to move back and forth between the drilling machine position and the hydraulic forming position, so that the mold body 3 can move the formed refrigerator water receiving tray 31 smoothly and accurately to the drilling machine position.

[0022] In this embodiment, a controller 11 is installed on the front surface of the mold base 1, a second electric push rod 52 is fixed on the lower end surface of the mold base 1, and a limit slide plate 53 passes through the groove on the surface of the mold base 1.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the controller 11 is used to control the electrical components designed in the limiting assembly of the refrigerator drip tray mold. The second electric push rod 52 drives the rear push plate 5 to move back and forth on the upper surface of the mold base 1 by pushing the limiting slide plate 53, thereby limiting and adjusting the mold body 3 so that the limiting clamping plate 2, the front push plate 21 and the rear push plate 5 can be limited and clamped to the side of the mold body 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, a refrigerator water receiving tray 31 is provided in the inner cavity of the mold body 3, and a pressure sensor 51 is embedded in the front end face of the rear push plate 5; and the lateral adjustment frame 4 is located at the rear end of the rear push plate 5.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the mold body 3 holds a molded refrigerator drip tray 31, allowing the molded refrigerator drip tray 31 to be drilled within the mold body 3. This facilitates better positioning of the refrigerator drip tray 31 and avoids damage to the refrigerator drip tray 31 caused by excessive force when clamping it alone, thus improving the drilling efficiency of the refrigerator drip tray 31. Pressure sensor 51 on the front side of the rear push plate 5 senses the pressure value of the rear push plate 5 pushing the mold body 3 forward. When the pressure values ​​sensed by pressure sensor 51 and pressure sensor 24 are consistent, it indicates that the clamping force on the mold body 3 is balanced. At this time, the mold body 3 is in the central position of the mold base 1, ensuring stable and accurate positioning of the refrigerator drip tray mold during use.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sensor 12 is embedded in the middle of the upper surface of the mold base 1, and a small motor 41 is fixed on the right end face of the horizontal adjustment frame 4; and an adjustment screw 42 is connected to the left shaft of the small motor 41.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, sensor 12 conveniently senses whether mold body 3 is placed on the upper surface of mold base 1. When mold body 3 is sensed, controller 11 automatically controls the movement of limit clamping plate 2, front push plate 21 and rear push plate 5 to limit and clamp the front, rear and left and right sides of mold body 3. Small motor 41 conveniently drives the two sets of adjusting screws 42 installed in the slot of small motor 41 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] In this embodiment, two sets of adjusting screws 42 are symmetrically installed on the front groove of the transverse adjusting frame 4; and the two sets of adjusting screws 42 are connected by a connecting rod 43.

[0029] As a preferred implementation, the threads of the two sets of adjusting screws 42 in the groove of the transverse adjusting frame 4 are distributed in opposite directions, which facilitates the synchronous reverse movement of the limiting clamping plate 2 connected to the two sets of adjusting screws 42. This ensures that the moving speed of the limiting clamping plate 2 is consistent and that it clamps or releases the mold body 3, reducing the time-consuming manual limiting clamping, accelerating the limiting clamping efficiency of the limiting component of the refrigerator drip tray mold, and facilitating more efficient and faster use of the limiting mold body 3 to prevent deviation.

[0030] In this embodiment, a driving block 23 is fixed to the rear side of the limiting clamp 2, and the limiting clamp 2 and the front push plate 21 are vertically intersecting; and the limiting clamp 2 passes through the interior of the front push plate 21.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the drive block 23 facilitates the conversion of the rotational motion of the adjusting screw 42 into linear motion, thereby driving the two sets of limiting clamps 2 and the front push plate 21 at the front end to move left and right, limiting and clamping the left and right sides of the mold body 3, and preventing the mold body 3 from shifting or moving to the left or right. The front push plate 21 at the front end of the limiting clamp 2 is in contact with the left and right edge surfaces of the front surface of the mold body 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor 24 is installed on the rear end face of the front push plate 21, and a first electric push rod 22 is fixed on the outer side of the limiting clamp plate 2.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, pressure sensor 24 senses the squeezing force of the front push plate 21 on the front side of the mold body 3, and controls the operation or stop of the first electric push rod 22 according to the change of the sensed pressure value. The first electric push rod 22 is used to drive the limiting clamping plate 2 to move back and forth, so that the limiting clamping plate 2 is pressed tightly against the front side of the mold body 3.

[0034] The limiting component of this utility model for refrigerator drip tray mold can effectively solve the problem of deviation that easily causes drilling hole position deviation when the lower mold of the refrigerator drip tray moves with the formed drip tray. It facilitates the stable movement of the refrigerator drip tray mold to the drilling machine position by the limiting clamping component, effectively avoiding the deviation of the refrigerator drip tray mold and ensuring the stable and accurate positioning of the refrigerator drip tray mold during use. At the same time, the mechanized limiting clamping facilitates quick and easy picking and putting away of the refrigerator drip tray mold, improving the limiting clamping efficiency of the limiting component. It is suitable for limiting components of refrigerator drip tray mold.
