Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheath molds, specifically to a quick-change molding mold for multi-specification PVC sheath materials. Background Technology
[0002] PVC sheaths are protective sleeves made of polyvinyl chloride material. They are widely used on the outside of wires, cables, pipes, or hoses to provide insulation, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and other protective functions.
[0003] PVC has excellent electrical insulation properties and is often used as the outer sheath of wires and cables. It effectively protects the internal structure from mechanical damage. Some PVC sheaths undergo special treatment to provide UV resistance and aging resistance. Moreover, PVC material has the advantages of low cost, affordability, good processing performance, ease of molding, and good mechanical strength and durability.
[0004] When processing PVC sheaths, specialized PVC molding dies are often required. In a production workshop, a dedicated production line is typically designed for each type of sheath. However, due to current production volumes, it may be necessary to use a single production line to produce sheaths of various specifications.
[0005] The existing technology requires the replacement of the molding mold after a batch of PVC sheaths is produced, which increases a lot of ineffective labor time and is not conducive to the factory's efficient production.
[0006] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a quick-change molding die for multi-specification PVC sheath materials to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the base is polygonal, and the mold interface group includes a first mold channel connected to the first side of the base from the middle of the base, a second mold channel connected to the second side of the base from the middle of the base, and a third mold channel connected to the third side of the base from the middle of the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the switching channel group includes a first switching channel, a second switching channel, and a third switching channel disposed within the turntable. The first switching channel is used to connect one end to the feed pipe and the other end to the first mold channel when switching positions. The second switching channel is used to connect one end to the feed pipe and the other end to the second mold channel when switching positions. The third switching channel is used to connect one end to the feed pipe and the other end to the third mold channel when switching positions.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a mounting plate connected to the feed pipe, the mounting plate having a positioning hole, and the ball bearing connected within the positioning hole.
[0014] According to the claim, a multi-specification PVC sheath material quick-change molding die is characterized in that the bottom of the turntable is provided with concave teeth, the concave teeth are meshed with motor teeth, the motor teeth are connected to a rotating motor, and the rotating motor is connected to the feed pipe.
[0015] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a return spring connected to the ball, the return spring being used to support the ball to lift it up.
[0016] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a pressure sensor connected to the return spring, the pressure sensor being used to detect the position of the ball.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding limiter, which includes a feeding limiter motor connected to the bottom of the feeding pipe, a rotating block connected to the feeding limiter motor, and a material passage groove on the rotating block. The material passage groove is used to connect the feeding pipe with the corresponding channel of the switching channel group when the feeding position is reached.

[0019] The mold interface assembly is connected to the base body. One end of the assembly connects to the forming mold, allowing material to be injected into it through these interfaces. The mold interface assembly may have multiple ports to accommodate different molds or production needs. The feed pipe, located at the center of the base body, is the channel through which material enters the equipment and is responsible for conveying material to the switching element. The switching element controls the flow of material to different mold interfaces within the mold interface assembly. The outer side of the turntable is rotatably connected to the base body, meaning it can rotate relative to the base body. The inner side of the turntable connects to the feed pipe, ensuring material can flow from the feed pipe into the turntable. The switching channel assembly is a set of channels located inside the turntable. These channels correspond to different ports of the mold interface assembly; that is, as the turntable rotates, different switching channels can connect to different ports of the mold interface assembly. Thus, by rotating the turntable, the flow of material to any mold interface can be controlled. This solves the problem of existing technologies requiring mold replacement after machine shutdown, which increases a significant amount of inefficient labor time and hinders efficient factory production.

[0042] As shown in the figure, a multi-specification PVC sheath material quick-change molding die includes a base 1 and a die interface group 2 connected to the base 1. The center of the base 1 is connected to a feed pipe 3, and the middle of the base 1 is connected to a switching component 4. The switching component 4 includes a turntable 41 whose outer side is rotatably connected to the base 1 and whose inner side is connected to the feed pipe 3. The turntable 41 is provided with a switching channel group 42, which is correspondingly arranged with the die interface group 2. The switching channel group 42 is used to connect the feed pipe 3 to different ports of the die interface group 2 when rotating.
[0043] In this embodiment, the mold interface group 2 is connected to the base 1. One end of the mold interface group 2 is used to connect to the molding mold, allowing material to be injected into the molding mold through these interfaces. The mold interface group 2 may have multiple ports to accommodate different molds or production needs. The feed pipe 3 is the channel for material to enter the equipment. It is connected to the center of the base 1 and is responsible for conveying the material to the switching element 4. The switching element 4 is used to control the flow of material to different mold interfaces of the mold interface group 2. The outer side of the turntable 41 is rotatably connected to the base 1, meaning it can rotate relative to the base 1. The inner side of the turntable 41 is connected to the feed pipe 3, ensuring that material can flow from the feed pipe 3 into the turntable 41. The switching channel group 42 is a set of channels arranged inside the turntable 41. These channels are corresponding to different ports of the mold interface group 2, that is, when the turntable 41 rotates, different switching channels 42 can connect to different ports of the mold interface group 2. In this way, by rotating the turntable 41, the flow of material to which mold interface can be controlled. This solves the problem that existing technologies require mold replacement after machine shutdown, which increases a lot of ineffective labor time and is not conducive to efficient factory production.
[0044] In some embodiments, the base 1 is polygonal, and the mold interface group 2 includes a first mold channel 21 connected to the middle of the base 1 and a first side of the base 1, a second mold channel 22 connected to the middle of the base 1 and a second side of the base 1, and a third mold channel 23 connected to the middle of the base 1 and a third side of the base 1.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first mold channel 21 is a channel connecting the middle of the base 1 to the first side of the base 1. It is a material conduit used to transport materials from inside the base 1 to the mold connected to the first side. In addition, the second mold channel 22 and the third mold channel 23 have similar functions to the first mold channel 21, and will not be described in detail here.
[0046] In some embodiments, the switching channel group 42 includes a first switching channel 421, a second switching channel 422, and a third switching channel 423 disposed within the turntable 41. The first switching channel 421 is configured to connect one end to the feed pipe 3 and the other end to the first mold channel 21 when switching positions are used. The second switching channel 422 is configured to connect one end to the feed pipe 3 and the other end to the second mold channel 22 when switching positions are used. The third switching channel 423 is configured to connect one end to the feed pipe 3 and the other end to the third mold channel 23 when switching positions are used.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first switching channel 421 is one of the channels in the switching channel group 42. When the turntable 41 rotates to the switching position, one end of the first switching channel 421 is connected to the feed pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the first mold channel 21. In this way, the material can enter the first switching channel 421 through the feed pipe 3, and then flow into the mold connected to the first side of the base 1 through the first mold channel 21. The second switching channel 422 is similar to the first switching channel 421. When the turntable 41 rotates to another switching position, one end of the second switching channel 422 is connected to the feed pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the second mold channel 22. In this way, the material can flow into the mold connected to the second side of the base 1. When the turntable 41 rotates to the third switching position, one end of the third switching channel 423 is connected to the feed pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the third mold channel 23. In this way, the material can flow into the mold connected to the third side of the base 1.
[0048] In some embodiments, a switching channel limiting member 43 is further included, which is respectively connected to the first switching channel 421, the second switching channel 422, and the third switching channel 423. The switching channel limiting member 43 includes a switching support 431 connected to the turntable 41. A telescopic drive 432 is connected inside the switching support 431. A locking block 433 is connected to the telescopic drive 432. The locking block 433 is used to lock into the first switching channel 421, the second switching channel 422, and the third switching channel 423 when extended.
[0049] In this embodiment, the switching support 431 is the main body of the switching channel limiting member 43. It is connected to the turntable 41 and is typically located near the switching channel. The switching support 431 provides a stable support point for mounting and fixing the telescopic drive 432. The telescopic drive 432 is a drive device capable of generating linear motion and is connected within the switching support 431. The main function of the telescopic drive 432 is to control the extension and retraction of the locking block 433. When locking the switching channel is required, the telescopic drive 432 drives the locking block 433 to extend; when unlocking is required, the telescopic drive 432 drives the locking block 433 to retract. The telescopic drive 432 employs either a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic hydraulic cylinder. The locking block 433 is a key part of the switching channel limiting member 43 and is connected to the telescopic drive 432. The shape and size of the locking block 433 are designed to match the internal structure of the switching channel to ensure that when the locking block 433 extends, it can be tightly locked within the switching channel, thereby preventing material leakage.
[0050] In some embodiments, a positioning element 5 is further included. The positioning element 5 includes an annular groove 51 disposed on the turntable 41 and a ball 52 disposed in the annular groove 51. The annular groove 51 is further provided with a first ball groove 53, a second ball groove 54 and a third ball groove 55. The first ball groove 53 is used to mark the first switching channel 421 as being in a switching position when the ball 52 falls into the first ball groove 53. The second ball groove 54 is used to mark the second switching channel 422 as being in a switching position when the ball 52 falls into the second ball groove 54. The third ball groove 55 is used to mark the third switching channel 423 as being in a switching position when the ball 52 falls into the third ball groove 55.
[0051] In this embodiment, the annular groove 51 is a recess surrounding the edge of the turntable 41, providing a track for the ball 52 to move within it. The ball 52 is a small sphere placed within the annular groove 51 and able to move freely therein. When the ball 52 falls into this groove, it indicates that the first switching channel 421 is in the switching position, that is, correctly aligned with the feed pipe 3 and the first mold channel 21; when the ball 52 falls into this groove, it indicates that the second switching channel 422 is in the switching position; when the ball 52 falls into this groove, it indicates that the third switching channel 423 is in the switching position.
[0052] In some embodiments, the positioning member 5 includes a mounting plate 56 connected to the feed pipe 3, the mounting plate 56 having a positioning hole 57, and the ball bearing 52 being connected within the positioning hole 57.
[0053] In some embodiments, the positioning member 5 includes a return spring 58 connected to the ball 52, the return spring 58 being used to support the ball 52 to lift the ball 52.
[0054] In this embodiment, the positioning hole 57 is used to limit the movement of the ball 52, so that the ball 52 can only move in the up and down direction. The return spring 58 is used to support the ball 52 and lift it up.
[0055] In some embodiments, the positioning member 5 includes a pressure sensor 59 connected to the return spring 58, the pressure sensor 59 being used to detect the position of the ball 52.
[0056] In this embodiment, when the ball 52 moves downward, the pressure on the pressure sensor 59 increases, and when the ball 52 moves upward, the pressure on the pressure sensor 59 decreases, indicating that it is in a switching position.
[0057] In some embodiments, the bottom of the turntable 41 is provided with concave teeth 44, the concave teeth 44 are meshed with motor teeth 45, the motor teeth 45 are connected to a rotating motor 46, and the rotating motor 46 is connected to the feed pipe 3.
[0058] In this embodiment, the rotating motor 46 is connected to the feed pipe 3. The rotating motor 46 drives the motor teeth 45 to rotate, and the motor teeth 45 drives the concave teeth 44 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 41 to rotate.
[0059] In some embodiments, the device further includes a feed limiting component 6, which includes a feed limiting motor 61 connected to the bottom of the feed pipe 3. A rotating block 62 is connected to the feed limiting motor 61, and a material passage groove 63 is provided on the rotating block 62. The material passage groove 63 is used to connect the feed pipe 3 with the corresponding channel of the switching channel group 42 when the feeding position is in the feeding position.
[0060] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to close the outlet of the feed pipe 3, the feed limiting motor 61 rotates, driving the rotating block 62 to rotate. The rotating block 62 is provided with a material passage groove 63. When the material passage groove 63 is located at the outlet of the feed pipe 3, the outlet of the feed pipe 3 can release material outward; when the protruding part on the rotating block 62 is located at the outlet of the feed pipe 3, the outlet of the feed pipe 3 is closed.
