Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of test molds, and more particularly to a rapid prototyping test mold. Background Technology

[0002] A mold is a production tool that can produce parts with certain shape and size requirements.

[0003] Currently, the mold shape and cavity need to be machined on a machine tool. The cycle from processing a mold to producing a blown bottle takes five to seven days. The mold shape cannot be reused, resulting in high cost and low efficiency. Due to the long processing time, the delivery rate is low, affecting delivery satisfaction. In addition, the inserts are made of aluminum alloy and are processed by CNC machining centers. Although the processing accuracy is good, the cost is very high, and the time is generally five to seven days.

[0004] Traditional inlay processing involves numerous steps, typically including: cutting on a saw; turning the outer shape on a lathe; tapping by a fitter and locking it onto the mold cavity; milling on a machining center to shape the cavity; and polishing. This results in a multitude of processing steps, leading to long testing times and making it impossible to meet the requirements for rapid prototyping. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce testing time and enable rapid prototyping, this application provides a rapid prototyping test mold.

[0006] The rapid prototyping test mold provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A rapid prototyping test mold includes a mold body and a first reinforcing ring and a second reinforcing ring sleeved on the mold body. The mold body is provided with a 3D printed insert, a connector, and a positioning cylinder. The mold body has multiple circular holes, each containing a corresponding locking bolt. The mold body also has multiple mounting holes, threaded holes, and through holes for assembling the mold body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, through the design of positioning and locking structure on the back of the insert, the insert is 3D printed. For complex shapes, it can be quickly formed, reducing the time from the original seven days to three days and halving the cost. Moreover, the insert processing steps are few, with only two steps: 3D printing and tapping, installation, testing, and bottle blowing. The process is simple, the testing time requirement is short, and it can meet the requirements of rapid prototyping.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the mold body is provided with a hard oxide layer.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the mold is made into a 3D printed insert structure, and the surface is hardened to form a hard oxide layer, so that bottles with complex shapes can be made within two days.

[0010] Preferably, the first reinforcing ring and the second reinforcing ring are provided with the same hinge seat for hinged installation.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinge seat facilitates the opening and closing of the first and second reinforcing rings.

[0012] Preferably, each of the first and second reinforcing rings is fixedly equipped with a corresponding mounting ear, and the same reinforcing hole is opened on one side of the two mounting ears. A reinforcing post is provided in the reinforcing hole, and a thread is opened on one side of the outer surface of the reinforcing post, and a nut is screwed onto the thread.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up mounting ears, an auxiliary installation function can be achieved.

[0014] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly installed at one end of the reinforcing column, and the length of the limiting plate is greater than the length of the reinforcing hole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the limiting plate must be greater than the length of the reinforcing hole, so that positioning and installation can be performed.

[0016] Preferably, both the first reinforcing ring and the second reinforcing ring are screwed with corresponding reinforcing bolts.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and setting reinforcement bolts, an auxiliary positioning function can be achieved.

[0018] Preferably, one end of each of the plurality of reinforcing bolts is provided with a corresponding anti-slip pad, which is in contact with the outer surface of the mold body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by rotating multiple reinforcing bolts to make them contact the outer surface of the mold body, the mold body can be further reinforced and installed.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. This application utilizes positioning cylinders and other components to create a 3D-printed insert structure from the shape of the mold body. The surface is hardened to form a hard oxide layer, allowing bottles with complex shapes to be produced within two days. The insert features a positioning and locking structure on its back. The insert is 3D printed, enabling rapid prototyping of complex shapes. The time is reduced from seven days to three days, and the cost is halved. Furthermore, the insert processing steps are minimal, consisting of only two steps: 3D printing, tapping, installation, testing, and blow molding. The process is simple, with short testing time requirements, meeting the requirements for rapid prototyping.

[0022] 2. This application employs the cooperation of reinforcing columns, etc., by fitting the first reinforcing ring and the second reinforcing ring together and installing the reinforcing column in the reinforcing hole. At this time, the nut can be rotated and installed on the thread. Through the cooperation with the limiting plate, the two mounting ears and the first and second reinforcing rings can be fixedly installed, thereby further enhancing the stability of the mold body after assembly and thus improving its adaptability during use.

[0032] In use, the 3D-printed insert 2 structure is made from the shape of the main body 1 of the mold, and the surface is hardened to form a hard oxide layer 12. Thus, bottles with complex shapes can be completed within two days. The back of the insert is designed with a positioning and locking structure. The insert is 3D printed, which can quickly form complex shapes, reducing the time from the original seven days to three days and halving the cost. Moreover, the insert has fewer processing steps, with only two steps: 3D printing and tapping, installation, testing, and bottle blowing. The process is simple, the testing time requirement is short, and it can meet the requirements of rapid prototyping.

[0033] Reference Figure 4-5 The reinforcement mechanism includes a hinge seat 15 for hinged installation, which is hinged to the first reinforcement ring 13 and the second reinforcement ring 14.

With the cooperation of the limiting plate 7, the two mounting ears 17 and the first reinforcing ring 13 and the second reinforcing ring 14 can be fixedly installed, which can further enhance the stability of the mold body 1 after assembly and thus improve its adaptability in use.

[0037] The implementation principle of a rapid prototyping test mold in this application embodiment is as follows: the mold body 1 is made into a 3D printed insert 2 structure, and the surface is hardened to form a hard oxide layer 12. Thus, bottles with complex shapes can be made within two days. The back of the insert is designed with a positioning and locking structure. The insert is 3D printed, which can quickly form complex shapes, reducing the time from the original seven days to three days and the cost by half. Moreover, the insert has fewer processing steps, with only two steps: 3D printing and tapping, installation, and test blow molding. The process is simple, the test time requirement is short, and it can meet the requirements of rapid prototyping.

[0038] By fitting the first reinforcing ring 13 and the second reinforcing ring 14 together and installing the reinforcing post 19 in the reinforcing hole 18, the nut 8 can be rotated and installed on the thread 20. With the cooperation of the limiting plate 7, the two mounting ears 17 and the first reinforcing ring 13 and the second reinforcing ring 14 can be fixedly installed, thereby further enhancing the stability of the mold body 1 after assembly and improving its adaptability during use. By rotating the multiple reinforcing bolts 16 and making the multiple reinforcing bolts 16 contact the outer surface of the mold body 1, the mold body 1 can be further reinforced and installed.
