Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of casting mold technology, and relates to a batch number replacement structure, and more particularly to a mold batch number replacement structure. Background Technology

[0002] At present, in the casting production process, the casting mold body needs to use the furnace number to indicate which production furnace produced the casting (the furnace number is also commonly known as a letter block, which is composed of letters and numbers and is used to mark the castings produced) so as to carry out quality tracking in the future. At the same time, if a problem is found during sampling inspection, it is convenient to process all castings produced by that production furnace in batches by identifying the furnace number.

[0003] Currently, furnace numbers are fixed by tightening a pressure plate with screws, which presses down on the furnace number nameplate to achieve the purpose of fixing the number. This replacement method has the following drawbacks: 1. The replacement time is long, making it difficult to ensure a smooth transition with normal production, thus delaying production and affecting efficiency and profitability. Furthermore, if a casting mold has two sets of molds, two furnace numbers need to be replaced, further extending the replacement time and hindering production. 2. Repeated disassembly and reassembly of the pressure plate and screws can damage the casting mold body, affecting its service life. 3. The pressure plate occupies mold space (additional space is needed for the number placement area). When space is insufficient, a custom-made pressure plate based on the pattern is required, which is difficult and expensive to manufacture. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mold batch number changing structure. It solves the technical problem of inconvenient mold batch number changing in existing systems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A mold batch number changing structure is characterized by comprising an installation groove and a batch number module formed on the mold. The batch number module includes a mold base plate and several modules with different Arabic numerals. The mold base plate has a slot along its length. The slot has openings on both sides of the mold base plate along its length. The slot has a groove opening on the top surface of the mold base plate. The width of the groove opening is smaller than the width of the slot bottom. The module outline is adapted to the slot and can enter the slot through the opening to engage with it. The mold base plate is detachably connected to the inside of the installation groove, and the side walls of the installation groove block and close the two openings.

[0007] The batch number replacement structure of this application makes the batch number into a modular structure. An installation slot is opened on the mold, and the modular batch number is embedded in the installation slot. Then, the numbers on the batch number module can be adjusted according to the needs to achieve the purpose of changing the batch number. This design makes changing the batch number very convenient.

[0008] The batch number module includes a base plate and a module with numbers. The module is mounted on the base plate, and the batch number can be changed by adjusting the combination of modules, which is very convenient.

[0009] The module enters the slot from the side through the opening and engages with it. The module's numbers are exposed from the slot opening. After arranging the modules, they are inserted into the slot one by one. Then, the mold base plate is embedded into the mounting slot. The side wall of the mounting slot blocks the opening, preventing the modules from coming out of the slot. When it is necessary to adjust the batch number, the mold base plate is removed, and all the modules can be removed from the opening, adjusted, and reinstalled. This design makes batch number adjustment very convenient.

[0010] In the above-mentioned mold batch number replacement structure, each side wall of the slot includes a vertical surface one and a vertical surface two. The vertical surface one is close to the slot opening, and the vertical surface two is close to the bottom of the slot. The distance between the two vertical surfaces one is less than the distance between the two vertical surfaces two, and the vertical surfaces one and two are parallel to each other. The module has a side that abuts and cooperates with the vertical surfaces one and two.

[0011] The side wall of the slot in this application has a vertical surface one and a vertical surface two. The distance between the vertical surfaces one is smaller than the distance between the vertical surfaces two. After the module is inserted into the slot, both vertical surfaces one and two can form a tight fit with the side of the module. This step-like structure between vertical surfaces one and two allows the module to be tightly confined in the slot and cannot be pulled out from the slot opening. Such a connection structure has good stability.

[0012] In the above-mentioned mold batch number changing structure, the vertical surface one and the vertical surface two are connected by a vertical surface, and the vertical surface forms a barrier with the side of the module.

[0013] In this application, vertical surface one and vertical surface two are connected by a vertical surface. The vertical surface can directly block the side of the module and limit the module, so that the module can only be guided and moved along the direction of the slot and cannot move in any other direction. Such a connection structure has high stability.

[0014] In the above-mentioned mold batch number changing structure, the length of the mold base plate is equal to the total length of the six modules abutting each other. When the six modules are locked in the slot, the sides of the two outermost modules are flush with the two sides of the mold base plate in the length direction.

[0015] The length of the mold base plate in this application is the same as the length of the six modules. The slots, extending along the length of the mold base plate, are also equivalent to the length of the six modules. After the six modules are inserted, their two sides are flush with the sides of the mold base plate. Once the mold base plate is embedded in the mounting slot, the sidewall of the mounting slot directly abuts against and limits the side of the outermost module, thus limiting the module and forming a unified whole with the mold, resulting in high connection strength. Each of the six modules represents a number, and these six numbers can be used to label the year, month, and day. This design effectively displays the batch number of the mold and makes replacement very convenient.

[0016] In the aforementioned mold batch number changing structure, the Arabic numerals on the module all protrude from the top surface of the module.

[0017] The Arabic numerals on this module protrude from the top surface and are exposed. These numerals can be used as handles to push the module, making it easy to replace modules and adjust batch numbers.

[0018] In the above-mentioned mold batch number changing structure, the top surface of the mold base plate is provided with magnetic suction planes on both sides of the slot opening of the card slot.

[0019] The mold base plate of this application can be disassembled by magnetic attraction. The batch number module can be pulled out of the installation slot by magnetic attraction and pulling at the magnetic plane, which makes the replacement very convenient.

[0020] In the above-mentioned mold batch number replacement structure, the batch number module is magnetically fixed inside the mounting slot.

[0021] The batch number module of this application is also magnetically attached to the inside of the mounting slot. This connection method does not waste the mounting space on the mold, and it is directly hidden in the mounting slot. It is also very convenient to assemble and disassemble.

[0022] In the aforementioned mold batch number replacement structure, the batch number module is connected to the mold threadedly via bolts.

[0023] This is another way to connect the batch number module and the mold in this application. This connection is achieved by bolts and can achieve a similar technical effect to magnetic attraction.

[0024] In the above-mentioned mold batch number replacement structure, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with at least one recess along its length direction, and a magnet is embedded in each recess. The top surface of the magnet is flush with or lower than the bottom of the mounting groove, and the mold base plate is magnetically fixed to the mold by the magnet.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] 1. The batch number replacement structure is modularized. An installation slot is opened on the mold, and the modular batch number is embedded in the installation slot. Then, the numbers on the batch number module can be adjusted according to the needs to change the batch number. This design makes changing the batch number very convenient.

[0027] 2. The batch number module includes a base plate and a module with numbers. The module is mounted on the base plate, and the batch number can be changed by adjusting the combination of modules. The adjustment is very convenient.

[0028] 3. The module enters the slot from the side through the opening and engages with the slot. The module's numbers are exposed from the slot opening. After arranging the modules, they are inserted into the slot one by one. Then, the mold base plate is embedded into the mounting slot. The side wall of the mounting slot blocks the opening, preventing the modules from coming out of the slot. When it is necessary to adjust the batch number, the mold base plate is removed, and all the modules can be removed from the opening, adjusted, and reinstalled. This design makes batch number adjustment very convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The illustrated mold batch number replacement structure includes an installation groove 11 and a batch number module 2 formed on the mold 1. The batch number module 2 includes a mold base plate 21 and several modules 22 with different Arabic numerals 221. The mold base plate 21 has a slot 211 along its length direction. The slot 211 has openings on both sides of the mold base plate 21 along its length direction. The slot 211 has a groove opening 212 on the top surface of the mold base plate 21. The width of the groove opening 212 is smaller than the width of the bottom of the slot 211. The outline of the module 22 is adapted to the slot 211 and can enter the inside of the slot 211 through the opening and engage with the slot 211. The mold base plate 21 is detachably connected to the inside of the installation groove 11, and the two side walls of the installation groove 11 block and close the two openings mentioned above. The batch number changing structure of this application makes the batch number a modular 22-module structure. An mounting slot 11 is formed on the mold 1, and the modular batch number 22 is embedded in the mounting slot 11. Then, the numbers on the batch number module 2 are adjusted as needed to change the batch number. This design makes changing the batch number very convenient. The batch number module 2 includes a mold base plate 21 and a module 22 with numbers. The module 22 is fixed on the mold base plate 21, and the batch number can be changed by adjusting the arrangement of the modules 22, making adjustment very convenient. Module 22 enters the slot 211 from the opening and engages with it. The numbers on module 22 are exposed from the slot opening 212. After arranging the modules 22, they are inserted into the slot 211 one by one. Then, the mold base plate 21 is embedded into the mounting slot 11. The side wall of the mounting slot 11 blocks the opening, so the modules 22 cannot be removed from the slot 211. When the batch number needs to be adjusted, the mold base plate 21 is removed, and all the modules 22 can be removed from the opening, adjusted, and reinstalled. This design makes batch number adjustment very convenient.

[0034] Furthermore, both sides of the slot 211 include a vertical surface 213 and a vertical surface 214. The vertical surface 213 is close to the slot opening, and the vertical surface 214 is close to the bottom of the slot. The distance between the two vertical surfaces 213 is less than the distance between the two vertical surfaces 214, and the vertical surfaces 213 and 214 are parallel to each other. The module 22 has a side that abuts against the vertical surfaces 213 and 214. The sidewall of the slot 211 of this application has a vertical surface 213 and a vertical surface 214. The distance between the vertical surfaces 213 is smaller than the distance between the vertical surfaces 214. After the module 22 is inserted into the slot 211, both the vertical surfaces 213 and 214 can form a tight fit with the side of the module 22. This step-like structure between the vertical surfaces 213 and 214 allows the module 22 to be tightly confined in the slot 211 and cannot be pulled out from the slot opening. This connection structure has good stability.

[0035] Furthermore, vertical surface 213 and vertical surface 214 are connected by a vertical surface 215, which abuts against the side of module 22. The vertical surface 215 connects vertical surface 213 and vertical surface 214, directly abutting against the side of module 22 and limiting its position. This ensures that module 22 can only move along the direction of the slot 211 and cannot move in any other direction, resulting in a highly stable connection structure.

[0036] Preferably, the length of the mold base plate 21 is equal to the total length of the six modules 22 abutting against each other. When the six modules 22 are engaged in the slot 211, the sides of the two outermost modules 22 are flush with the two sides of the mold base plate 21 along its length. In this application, the length of the mold base plate 21 is the same as the length of the six modules 22. The slot 211 is opened along the length of the mold base plate 21, and its length is also equal to the length of the six modules 22. Thus, after the six modules 22 are engaged, their two sides are flush with the two sides of the mold base plate 21. After the mold base plate 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 11, the side wall of the mounting groove 11 directly abuts against and limits the side of the outermost module 22, thus limiting the module 22 and forming an integral part with the mold 1, resulting in high connection strength. Each of the six modules 22 represents a number, and the six numbers can be used to label the year, month, and day, for example, 150424 means April 24, 2015. This design can clearly display the batch number of the mold 1 and is very convenient for replacement.

[0037] Furthermore, the Arabic numerals 221 on module 22 all protrude from the top surface of module 22. The Arabic numerals 221 on this module 22 are entirely exposed above the top surface of module 22; these numerals can be used as handles to push, facilitating the replacement of module 22 and the adjustment of batch numbers.

[0038] Furthermore, the top surface of the mold base plate 21 is provided with magnetic suction planes 216 on both sides of the slot opening 212 of the card slot 211. The mold base plate 21 of this application can be disassembled by magnetic attraction. The batch number module 2 can be pulled out of the mounting slot 11 by pulling it at the magnetic suction plane 216, which makes the replacement very convenient.

[0039] Furthermore, the batch number module 2 is magnetically fixed to the inside of the mounting groove 11. The batch number module 2 of this application is also magnetically attached to the inside of the mounting groove 11. This connection method avoids wasting mounting space on the mold 1, directly concealing it within the mounting groove 11, and making assembly and disassembly very convenient. The bottom of the mounting groove 11 has two spaced-apart slots 12 along its length, each slot 12 containing a magnet 3. The top surface of the magnet 3 is flush with the bottom of the mounting groove 11, and the mold base plate 21 is magnetically fixed to the mold 1 by the magnet 3.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This is another connection method between the batch number module 2 and the mold 1 in this application. In this embodiment, the other structures are basically the same as in embodiment one, except that the batch number module 2 is threadedly connected to the mold 1 by bolts. This connection method achieves fixation by inserting the bolts from the back of the mold 1 into the mounting groove 11 and threading them into the threaded hole at the bottom of the mold base plate 21, which can achieve a technical effect similar to magnetic attraction.
