Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical means, inventive features, objectives and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a mold frame for foaming the edge of automotive sunroof glass, including two bottom frames 1, a main frame 2 and a column 3 disposed on each bottom frame 1, an upper mold device 4 connected between the two columns 3, a lower mold device 5, a crossbeam 6, and a control system. The two main frames 2 and the columns 3 are respectively disposed at the four ends of the bottom frames 1. The upper mold device 4 includes an upper mold 41, an upper mold flipping drive mechanism 42, and an upper mold lifting drive mechanism 43. The lower mold device 5 includes a lower mold 51 and a lower mold flipping drive mechanism 52. The upper mold flipping drive mechanism 42 and the lower mold lifting drive mechanism 53 are connected between the two columns 3. The lower template tilting drive mechanism 52 is a servo electric cylinder. A counterweight 7 is located on the back of the crossbeam 6. The counterweight 7 can be in two sets, each consisting of a counterweight iron block, weighing approximately 3.75 tons. The two sets of counterweights 7 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the mold frame, which reduces the power and energy consumption of the upper template lifting motor. Cantilever arms 31 are mounted on the two columns 3. The upper template 41 is rotatably connected to the cantilever arms 31 via upper template tilting positioning pins 44. The lower template 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom frame 1 via the lower template tilting drive mechanism 52. This cantilever structure allows for unobstructed installation space on all four sides for the customer's mold.

[0023] The upper template lifting drive mechanism 43 includes a reduction motor 431, a drive shaft 432, a coupling 433 and a guide assembly 434 mounted on the crossbeam 6. The upper template 41 is driven by the cooperation of the reduction motor 431, the drive shaft 432, the coupling 433 and the guide assembly 434.

[0024] Specifically, the guide assembly 434 includes sprockets 435 and chains 436 symmetrically arranged on both sides. There are usually multiple chains 436. The chains 436 are connected to the sprockets 435. The upper template 41 is lifted and lowered by a reduction motor 431, a drive shaft 432, a coupling 433, sprockets 435 and chains 436.

[0025] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower template 51 is provided with a locking air bag 511, and the mold achieves the closure and locking of the upper and lower molds by inflating the locking air bag 511.

[0026] In practical use, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, this method is suitable for the foaming process of automotive sunroof glass edging, with a maximum mold size of 2500mm x 1400mm, a maximum weight of 5 tons for the upper mold plate 41, and a maximum weight of 7 tons for the lower mold plate 51. By deflating the locking air bag 511 of the lower mold plate 51, the lower mold plate 51 descends. The upper mold plate descent positioning pin 45 retracts under the drive of a cylinder. The upper mold plate 41 rises under the drive of a reduction motor 431 and a chain 436, completing the mold opening for the customer. The upper mold plate 41 and lower mold plate 51 are then flipped to the operating angle under the drive of an electric cylinder. The upper mold plate flipping positioning pin 44 is then... The product is removed by the customer operator or industrial robot. The customer operator cleans the mold and places glass and accessories on the mold. The upper template flipping positioning pin 44 retracts under the drive of the cylinder. The upper template 41 and the lower template 51 are flipped to a horizontal angle under the drive of the electric cylinder. The upper template 41 is lowered under the drive of the geared motor 431 and the chain 436. The upper template flipping positioning pin 44 extends under the drive of the cylinder. The locking air bag 511 of the lower template 51 is inflated and expanded. The upper and lower molds are completely closed. The customer foaming system injects the raw material into the mold, and the product is cured and formed.

[0027] In summary, the mold carrier for foaming the edge of automotive sunroof glass of this utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate and maintain, and adopts a cantilever structure, which can achieve unobstructed installation space on all four sides for customers. The product has wide applicability, and can also improve the service life of equipment, reduce downtime, and increase customer productivity.

[0028] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above. It should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and the devices and structures not described in detail should be understood as being implemented in a manner common to the art; those skilled in the art can make various modifications or alterations within the scope of the claims, and make several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions, which do not affect the substantive content of the utility model.
