Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of connecting silicone molds and metal parts, specifically, it relates to a connection structure between silicone molds and metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] The connection structure between silicone molds and metal fittings is widely used in modern industrial production, especially in injection molding, precision manufacturing, and high-strength connections. Silicone molds, as a material with elasticity, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, are typically used to create complex-shaped parts or molded products. Metal fittings provide the necessary strength and rigidity to ensure the stability and reliability of the mold or product.

[0003] Traditional methods of connecting silicone molds and metal fittings mostly employ simple interlocking or threaded connections. These methods cannot adequately guarantee the strength and stability of the connection, especially in applications involving high pressure, high temperature, or frequent movement, where loosening, detachment, or deformation are prone to occur. In some specialized applications, such as food processing, medical devices, or sealing devices, the connection between the silicone mold and metal fittings requires excellent sealing performance. Existing connection structures are prone to leakage at the connection point under high pressure or high temperature, affecting product quality. Furthermore, existing connection structures may not effectively transfer heat from the silicone mold to the metal fittings, leading to excessively high mold temperatures, impacting molding cycles and product quality. The traditional connection structure is cumbersome to install, especially in applications requiring precise fit and efficient installation, and is prone to improper installation or errors, increasing production costs and time.

[0004] The lack of a reliable, efficient, and adaptable connection method between existing silicone molds and metal parts leads to problems such as insufficient connection strength, easy detachment, and poor sealing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a connection structure between a silicone mold and a metal part, which can solve the problems of insufficient connection strength, easy detachment, and poor sealing caused by the lack of a reliable, efficient and adaptable connection method between the silicone mold and the metal part.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a connection structure between a silicone mold and a metal fitting, comprising a silicone mold body, a metal fitting, and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly is used to achieve a firm connection between the silicone mold body and the metal fitting. The silicone mold body is made of silicone material and serves as a molding mold. The connecting assembly includes a connecting base, a snap-fit ​​mechanism, and a sealing ring. The connecting base is fixed to the silicone mold body, and the snap-fit ​​mechanism is disposed on the connecting base for engaging with the metal fitting. The sealing ring is disposed between the connecting base and the metal fitting to enhance the sealing performance of the connection.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the connection structure between the silicone mold and the metal parts of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0009] The connecting base adopts a ring structure, is embedded in the edge of the silicone mold body, and is integrally formed with the silicone mold body.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting base is made of the same material as the silicone mold body, which serves to provide an installation base for the snap-fit ​​mechanism and enhance the strength of the connecting area.

[0011] Furthermore, the latching mechanism includes multiple latches evenly distributed on the connecting base, each latch consisting of a latch body and a latch spring.

[0012] Furthermore, the buckle body is hook-shaped, and the buckle spring is disposed inside the buckle body to provide elastic force, enabling the buckle to engage with the corresponding slot on the metal fitting.

[0013] Furthermore, the metal fitting is provided with a slot corresponding to the buckle mechanism, and the shape of the slot matches the shape of the buckle body so that the buckle can be reliably engaged in the slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the sealing ring adopts an O-ring structure and is disposed between the connecting base and the metal fitting to prevent liquid or gas from leaking from the connection and further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0015] Furthermore, the connection area between the silicone mold body and the metal fitting is provided with reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs are mesh structures used to enhance the strength and rigidity of the connection area and prevent deformation or cracking at the connection.

[0016] Furthermore, a heat-conducting layer is provided between the silicone mold body and the metal fittings to improve the heat dissipation performance of the mold, shorten the molding cycle, and improve the quality of the product.

[0017] Furthermore, the metal fittings are used to enhance the mold structure or provide specific functions.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the connection structure between the silicone mold and the metal parts provided by this utility model are:

[0019] The silicone mold body is made of high-quality silicone material and is mainly used as a molding die. Silicone material has good elasticity and high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for various molding processes such as injection molding and die casting. In this structure, the edges of the silicone mold are combined with the connecting base to form a robust connection structure.

[0020] The metal fittings are connected to the silicone mold body via a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The purpose of these metal fittings is to enhance the strength of the mold structure or provide additional functions such as heat dissipation and load-bearing capacity. The fittings are designed to efficiently match the snap-fit ​​mechanism on the connecting base, ensuring a secure connection between the fittings and the mold.

[0021] The connecting base adopts a ring structure, embedded in the edge of the silicone mold body, and integrally molded with the silicone body. The base material is the same as the silicone mold, enhancing the strength of the connection area. The ring design makes the base installation more secure and effectively distributes connection stress. By fixing the snap-fit ​​mechanism to the base, a stable installation foundation is provided for the snap-fit.

[0022] The latching mechanism consists of multiple latches, each comprising a latch body and a latch spring. The hook-shaped design of the latch body matches the shape of the slot on the metal fitting, ensuring that the latch can securely engage in the slot and preventing loosening or falling off during use. The latch spring provides the necessary elasticity, ensuring good tension and retention when the latch is engaged in the slot.

[0023] The sealing ring adopts an O-ring structure and is placed between the connecting base and the metal fitting. The O-ring effectively prevents liquid or gas leakage and improves the sealing performance of the connection. This design ensures that the connection remains stable under high pressure, high temperature or other extreme conditions, and prevents external contaminants or gases from entering the mold.

[0024] Reinforcing ribs are incorporated at the connection area between the silicone mold body and the metal fittings. These ribs feature a mesh structure, which helps enhance the strength and rigidity of the connection area, preventing deformation or cracking and improving overall structural stability.

[0025] A thermally conductive layer was added between the silicone mold body and the metal fittings. This design improves the mold's heat dissipation performance, helping to lower the mold temperature more quickly, shorten the molding cycle, and ensure product quality. The effectiveness of the thermally conductive layer can reduce quality problems caused by excessive temperature during the molding process.

[0026] This connection structure combines efficient and robust bonding with excellent sealing performance, and enhances structural stability and functionality through the design of reinforcing ribs and a heat-conducting layer. These improvements make the connection between the silicone mold and the metal fittings more reliable, suitable for industrial applications requiring high strength and high sealing performance.

[0032] like Figure 1 The diagram shows an embodiment of a connection structure between a silicone mold and a metal fitting provided by this utility model. In this embodiment, it includes a silicone mold body 10, a metal fitting 20, and a connecting component 30. The connecting component 30 is used to achieve a firm connection between the silicone mold body 10 and the metal fitting 20. The silicone mold body 10 is made of silicone material and is used as a molding mold. The connecting component 30 includes a connecting base 31, a snap-fit ​​mechanism 32, and a sealing ring 33. The connecting base 31 is fixed on the silicone mold body 10, and the snap-fit ​​mechanism 32 is disposed on the connecting base 31 for engaging with the metal fitting 20. The sealing ring 33 is disposed between the connecting base 31 and the metal fitting 20 to enhance the sealing of the connection.

[0033] In the above technical solution, the connecting base 31 adopts a ring structure, is embedded in the edge of the silicone mold body 10, and is integrally formed with the silicone mold body 10.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the material of the connecting base 31 is the same as that of the silicone mold body 10, which is used to provide an installation base for the snap-fit ​​mechanism 32 and enhance the strength of the connection area.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the latching mechanism 32 includes multiple latches evenly distributed on the connecting base 31, each latch consisting of a latch body and a latch spring.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the buckle body is hook-shaped, and the buckle spring is set inside the buckle body to provide elastic force, so that the buckle can engage with the corresponding slot on the metal fitting.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the metal fitting 20 is provided with a slot corresponding to the snap-fit ​​mechanism 32, and the shape of the slot matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​body so that the snap-fit ​​can be reliably snapped into the slot.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the sealing ring 33 adopts an O-ring structure and is set between the connecting base 31 and the metal fitting 20 to prevent liquid or gas from leaking from the connection and further enhance the stability of the connection.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the connection area between the silicone mold body 10 and the metal fitting 20 is provided with reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs are mesh structures used to enhance the strength and rigidity of the connection area and prevent deformation or cracking at the connection.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a heat-conducting layer is provided between the silicone mold body 10 and the metal parts 20 to improve the heat dissipation performance of the mold, shorten the molding cycle, and improve the quality of the product.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the metal fitting 20 is used to enhance the mold structure or provide specific functions.

[0042] Specifically, the principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, align the metal fitting with the snap-fit ​​mechanism of the connecting base. Ensure the snap-fit ​​body matches the slot on the metal fitting, and forcefully insert the snap-fit ​​into the slot until the elastic force provided by the snap-fit ​​spring secures it in place. After the metal fitting is connected to the connecting base, check the condition of the sealing ring to ensure the O-ring is in the correct position and is not damaged or deformed. Manually inspect the connection area to ensure there is no looseness or displacement between the metal fitting and the silicone mold body. If the connection is not secure, readjust the snap-fit ​​position to ensure it is firmly locked. During the connection process, pay attention to the position of the heat-conducting layer and the reinforcing ribs. The heat-conducting layer effectively improves heat dissipation performance, ensuring the mold maintains a suitable temperature during use and preventing overheating from affecting the performance. The mesh structure of the reinforcing ribs provides additional support, preventing deformation of the connection area and thus ensuring it is not subjected to excessive pressure or deformation. During use, regularly check the stability of the snap-fit ​​and the integrity of the sealing ring to ensure the connection remains efficient and stable under extreme working conditions.
