Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold processing technology, specifically to a positioning device for an alloy melting mold used in parts production. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of plastic parts manufacturing, injection molds are key process equipment for manufacturing plastic products. Molds are typically made from chromium steel, a chromium alloy steel known for its hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and rust resistance, capable of withstanding repeated high pressures during plastic injection. The manufacturing process involves multiple steps, including selecting suitable chromium steel, milling, precision milling, chamfering, precision framing, and precision grinding. Holes are drilled in the mold blank to insert guide pins and bushings, ensuring the position of each component is fixed during plastic injection. The surface is then ground smooth and flat to ensure a tight fit between mold layers. Therefore, accurate positioning and fixation of the alloy melting mold are crucial for precise mold processing. The alloy melting mold is an important tool for preparing metal parts, used to pour molten alloy into the mold for cooling and shaping. Its precision and quality directly affect the performance of the final part. During mold processing, the performance of the positioning device plays a vital role in the mold's machining accuracy, especially during multi-step and precision machining processes. A stable and reliable positioning device is fundamental to ensuring product quality.

[0003] However, existing alloy melting mold positioning devices suffer from significant limitations in adaptability. Traditional positioning devices mostly employ fixed structures, resulting in a single and difficult-to-adjust position, making them ill-suited for molds of different sizes and shapes. During mold production, frequent replacement of positioning devices is necessary for different processes and molds of varying sizes, drastically reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the limitations of fixed positions lead to low positioning accuracy, failing to meet the requirements of high-precision parts production, and the waste generated during melting cannot be promptly removed, potentially affecting melting quality.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an alloy melting mold positioning device with high adaptability, precise positioning and waste removal function, which can adapt to the needs of molds of different sizes and shapes, flexibly adjust the support position, and improve positioning accuracy, so as to solve the problem of insufficient adaptability in the existing technology, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of parts production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning device for alloy melting molds used in parts production, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning device for an alloy melting mold used in parts production, comprising:

[0007] The mounting base has connecting wing plates fixedly connected to both ends, and the mounting base is provided with a docking mechanism;

[0008] Several sets of upper support blocks are connected to the top of the mounting base. The bottom of the upper support block is fixedly connected to an insert block, and the top of the upper support block is fixedly connected to a clamping block. The insert block is connected to the docking mechanism.

[0009] A chip removal mechanism is provided on the mounting base, and the chip removal mechanism is adapted to discharge waste chips from the top of the mounting base;

[0010] The upper support block is connected to the top of the mounting base via the insertion block and docking mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the docking mechanism includes several sets of slots, which are vertically connected within the mounting base. The slots are arranged in rows and columns in a horizontal plane, wherein the slot spacing between any two adjacent rows is equal, the slot spacing between any two adjacent columns is equal, and the row spacing and column spacing are equal, forming a matrix arrangement structure with equal side spacing.

[0012] Preferably, the insert and the slot have a cross-shaped structure that matches each other when viewed from above, and the depth of the slot is greater than the height of the insert.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom edge of the insert is rounded.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping block has an "L" shaped structure, and the inner wall of the clamping block and the top of the upper support block are both fixedly connected with protective rubber pads.

[0015] Preferably, the chip removal mechanism includes several sets of chip removal grooves, which are equidistantly arranged along the length extension direction of the mounting base, and the chip removal grooves are inclined.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1) This application sets slots arranged in an equidistant matrix on the mounting base, forming a flexible and versatile connection with the inserts at the bottom of the upper support block. This allows the upper support block to be adjusted in multiple positions on the mounting base according to actual needs. This design greatly improves the adaptability of the device, enabling it to adapt to molds of different sizes and shapes and meet diverse production needs. The structural design of the slots and inserts not only enhances the stability of the connection but also improves the positioning accuracy, effectively solving the problem of traditional positioning devices having a single position and being difficult to adjust, thus providing a more accurate positioning basis for mold processing.

[0018] 2) This application solves the problem of waste chip discharge during alloy smelting by means of a chip removal mechanism. The inclined chip removal trough can effectively guide and discharge the waste chips generated during the smelting process, keep the working environment clean, and prevent waste chips from contaminating and damaging the mold surface. This not only improves the smelting quality but also extends the service life of the mold, while improving production efficiency and reducing production interruptions caused by waste chip cleaning.

[0019] 3) This application provides a stable and safe support through the protective rubber pads on the top of the upper support block and the inner wall of the clamping block, reducing the movement and vibration of the mold during processing. The connecting wing plates at both ends of the mounting base enable connection with other equipment, allowing it to be better integrated into the existing production line and realize the integration and standardization of the production process.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning device for an alloy melting mold used in parts production, comprising:

[0033] Mounting base 1, with connecting wing plates 2 fixedly connected to both ends of mounting base 1, and docking mechanism 3 provided on mounting base 1;

[0034] Several sets of upper support blocks 4 are connected to the top of the mounting base 1. The bottom of the upper support block 4 is fixedly connected to the insert block 5, and the top of the upper support block 4 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 6. The insert block 5 is connected to the docking mechanism 3.

[0035] The chip removal mechanism 7 is installed on the mounting base 1 and is adapted to discharge the waste chips from the top of the mounting base 1.

[0036] The upper support block 4 is connected to the top of the mounting base 1 by the insertion block 5 and the docking mechanism 3.

[0037] Reference manual attached Figure 2-3The docking mechanism 3 includes several sets of slots 31, which are vertically connected within the mounting base 1. The slots 31 are arranged in rows and columns in a horizontal plane, with equal spacing between any two adjacent rows and columns, forming a matrix arrangement with equal side spacing. Specifically, this arrangement of the docking mechanism 3 ensures a high degree of symmetry and regularity in the entire device. The multiple sets of slots 31 provide the possibility for multi-position installation of the upper support block 4, greatly enhancing the adaptability of the device and allowing it to adjust the support position according to the requirements of molds of different sizes and shapes. This matrix-arranged slot design solves the problem of traditional positioning devices having a single position and being difficult to adjust, while also ensuring consistent support effect at each position, avoiding differences in support effect due to different positions, and improving the overall positioning accuracy and reliability of the device.

[0038] Reference manual attached Figure 3 and instruction manual attached Figure 5 The insert 5 and the slot 31, when viewed from above, form a matching "+" shape, with the depth of the slot 31 greater than the height of the insert 5. Specifically, the "+" shape increases the contact area, improving the stability and firmness of the connection, making the insert 5 less prone to wobbling in the slot 31. The design of the slot 31 being deeper than the height of the insert 5 allows the insert 5 to be fully inserted into the slot 31, and facilitates quick installation and removal by operators, improving production efficiency.

[0039] Reference manual attached Figure 5 The bottom edge of the insert 5 is rounded. Specifically, the rounded corners make the installation and removal of the insert 5 into the slot 31 smoother, reducing the difficulty of operation. In addition, the rounded corner design avoids the wear and damage that sharp edges may cause to the slot 31, extending the service life of the entire device. This design also reduces the risk of operators being scratched by sharp edges during installation and removal, improving production safety.

[0040] Reference manual attached Figure 4The clamping block 6 has an "L"-shaped structure, and protective rubber pads 8 are fixedly connected to both the inner wall of the clamping block 6 and the top of the upper support block 4. Specifically, the clamping block 6 can be welded to the top of the upper support block 4, which requires adjustment based on the mold specifications. This design allows the position and angle of the clamping block 6 to be precisely adjusted according to the size and shape of the specific mold, greatly improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device. The "L"-shaped structure allows the clamping block 6 to provide multi-directional support simultaneously, forming a stable clamping angle, which greatly enhances the fixing effect on the mold and prevents the mold from moving or tilting during production. The protective rubber pads 8 further improve the protective function of the clamping system, effectively avoiding scratches and wear that may be caused by direct contact between the metal clamping block and the alloy mold, protecting the integrity and smoothness of the mold surface, and extending the service life of the mold.

[0041] Reference manual attached Figure 3 The chip removal mechanism 7 includes several sets of chip removal grooves 71, which are equidistantly arranged along the length of the mounting base 1 and are inclined. Specifically, firstly, the equidistant arrangement of multiple sets of chip removal grooves 71 ensures that waste chips in the entire working area can be effectively collected and discharged, avoiding cleaning difficulties and pollution problems caused by waste chip accumulation; secondly, the inclined arrangement of the chip removal grooves 71 utilizes the principle of gravity, allowing waste chips to flow naturally to the collection area without the need for additional power devices, simplifying the structure, maintaining a clean working environment, preventing waste chips from adversely affecting mold and product quality, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0042] Specifically, during the cutting and drilling processes of molds, a large amount of waste chips are inevitably generated, and cutting fluid is also used to assist in the processing. The inclined chip removal groove 71 can effectively collect and discharge these waste chips and liquids. Under the flushing action of the cutting fluid, or through simple manual operation, the waste chips generated at the top of the mounting base 1 will be guided into the chip removal groove 71 along with the cutting fluid, and then discharged from the working area by gravity through the inclined design.

[0043] Specifically, due to the significant weight of the chrome steel molds, during use, these molds are placed directly on multiple upper support blocks 4, relying on their own gravity to create a stable holding effect, firmly pressing the upper support blocks 4 onto the top of the mounting base 1, forming a natural and reliable fixing mechanism. This design, utilizing the mold's own weight, cleverly eliminates the need for additional fixing devices, simplifies the operation process, and also ensures the stability of the mold during processing.

[0044] Specifically, the clamping block 6 is subsequently welded to the top of the upper support block 4. Its position and angle require precise calculation to match the needs of molds of different specifications. This customized installation method allows the clamping system to provide the most suitable support and clamping effect for molds of various shapes and sizes. In practical applications, technicians will conduct comprehensive calculations based on factors such as the external dimensions, weight distribution, and stress characteristics of the mold to determine the optimal installation parameters of the clamping block 6, ensuring that the entire support system is both stable and flexible. Furthermore, the protective rubber pads 8 on the clamping block 6 can also be selected according to the mold material and surface characteristics, providing the most suitable protection for molds with different hardness and surface treatments.

[0045] Reference manual attached Figure 1 In use, first fix the mounting base 1 to the milling machine or machining table through the connecting wing plate 2, then insert the four sets of upper support blocks 4 into the corresponding slots 31 through the inserts 5 at their bottom, and then place the mold workpiece to be processed on the top of the four sets of upper support blocks 4 so that each corner of the mold workpiece is in contact with the protective rubber pads 8 on the inner side of each clamping block 6, so that the mold workpiece can be processed.

[0046] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
