Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of acrylic convex mirror processing equipment, specifically relating to an acrylic convex mirror forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Acrylic, also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a thermoplastic with high transparency, good weather resistance, surface hardness, and gloss. Its light transmittance is as high as 92%, and it has great processing plasticity, making it suitable for making products of various shapes, including optical components such as convex mirrors. These properties make acrylic an ideal material for making optical lenses such as convex mirrors. As an important optical component, convex mirrors have a wide range of applications in many fields, such as car rearview mirrors, road rearview mirrors, and surveillance camera lenses.

[0003] During the use of acrylic convex mirror forming equipment, dust and impurities often accumulate on the surface of the lower mold. However, the current equipment has insufficient cleaning capabilities, causing these contaminants to remain. These attached dust and impurities directly negatively affect the forming effect of acrylic materials. They embed themselves into the surface of the convex mirror like uninvited guests, leaving not only flaws and scratches but also causing unevenness on the surface. This severely weakens the optical clarity and visual aesthetics of the convex mirror, thereby reducing the overall quality and market competitiveness of the product. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example

[0029] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an acrylic convex mirror forming device, including a worktable 1, with support rods 2 fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the worktable 1, a top plate 3 fixedly installed on the top of the support rods 2, a lower mold 4 fixedly installed on the top of the worktable 1, and an upper mold 5 provided above the lower mold 4, and further including:

[0030] Adjustment mechanism 6 is located on the top of workbench 1;

[0031] The cleaning mechanism 7 is located inside the adjusting mechanism 6 and is used to clean the surface of the lower mold 4.

[0032] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 6 includes a first fixed frame 601 and a second fixed frame 602 respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the workbench 1. A guide rod 603 is fixedly installed inside the first fixed frame 601. A lead screw 604 is provided inside the second fixed frame 602. The end of the lead screw 604 passes through the second fixed frame 602 and is fixedly connected to the drive motor 605. A moving rod 606 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 604. The first fixed frame 601 and the second fixed frame 602 are located on both sides of the lower mold 4 respectively. One end of the moving rod 606 is slidably installed on the outside of the guide rod 603.

[0033] Furthermore: The workbench 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire equipment, used to install and fix all other components. It provides a stable working platform, ensuring stability and accuracy during the molding process. Support rods 2 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the workbench 1 to support the top plate 3, firmly connecting the top plate 3 to the workbench 1 to form a stable frame structure. The top plate 3 is fixed above the workbench 1 by the support rods 2 and is used to install components such as the hydraulic cylinder 9. It provides an installation platform, enabling the hydraulic cylinder 9 to work stably. The lower mold 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1 to cooperate with the upper mold 5 for molding acrylic materials. Its shape and size are designed according to the shape and size of the required convex mirror. The adjustment mechanism 6 drives the lead screw 604 to rotate through the transmission motor 605, causing the threaded moving rod 606 to move axially along the lead screw 604 under the guidance of the guide rod 603, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the cleaning mechanism 7.

[0034] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 7 includes a high-pressure nozzle 701 fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving rod 606, and a fan 702 fixedly installed on the side of the moving rod 606. One end of the high-pressure nozzle 701 is fixedly connected to a hose 707, the end of the hose 707 is fixedly connected to a water pump 706, the end of the water pump 706 is fixedly connected to a water tank 703, the water tank 703 is fixedly installed on the side of the workbench 1, and a water injection pipe 704 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 703. A dust cover 705 is fitted on the top of the water injection pipe 704.

[0035] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 7 automatically cleans the surface of the lower mold 4 to remove residual impurities and dirt, ensuring the surface quality of the convex mirror. The cleaning mechanism 7 draws cleaning water from the water tank 703 through the water pump 706 and delivers it to the high-pressure nozzle 701 through the hose 707 to spray high-pressure water to wash the surface of the lower mold 4. At the same time, the blower 702 generates airflow to help quickly dry the surface of the lower mold 4.

[0036] Specifically, a piston rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper mold 5, and a hydraulic cylinder 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the top end of the piston rod 8. The hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly installed in the through hole in the center of the top plate 3.

[0037] Furthermore: the upper mold 5 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 9 via the piston rod 8. Driven by the hydraulic cylinder 9, the upper mold 5 can move up and down to cooperate with the lower mold 4 to complete the forming of the convex mirror.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] During use, before the acrylic convex mirror processing begins, the cleaning mechanism 7 automatically intervenes to thoroughly clean the surface of the lower mold 4. This process begins with the activation of the water pump 706, which draws cleaning water from the water tank 703 and efficiently delivers it to the high-pressure nozzle 701 via the hose 707. The high-pressure nozzle 701 then sprays a powerful jet of high-pressure water, directly washing every corner of the lower mold 4, effectively stripping and removing impurities and dirt from the surface. Simultaneously, the blower 702 operates in sync, blowing out dry airflow, which not only accelerates the drying process of the lower mold 4 surface and prevents water stains from remaining, but also ensures the cleanliness and dryness of the mold surface. To maintain the continuous cleaning operation, the water inlet pipe 704 on the top of the water tank 703 allows the operator to easily replenish the water. The cleaning mechanism 7 cleans the water, while the dust cover 705 isolates it from external pollution, protecting the cleanliness of the water tank 703 and its internal water source. Simultaneously, the adjusting mechanism 6 works in tandem with the cleaning mechanism 7. The start of the drive motor 605 causes the lead screw 604 to rotate smoothly. Due to the precise threaded connection between the lead screw 604 and the moving rod 606, the moving rod 606 can move precisely along the axial direction of the lead screw 604. Furthermore, one end of the moving rod 606 is securely slidably mounted on the guide rod 603, enhancing stability during movement and ensuring the straightness of the moving rod 606's movement. This guides the cleaning mechanism 7 to perform comprehensive, thorough cleaning on the surface of the lower mold 4, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent convex mirror forming process.

[0040] In summary, the cleaning mechanism 7 can automatically remove impurities and dirt from the surface of the lower mold 4, effectively preventing these contaminants from affecting the surface of the formed convex mirror, thereby significantly improving the surface finish and quality of the formed convex mirror. The design of the adjustment mechanism 6 allows the cleaning mechanism 7 to be adjusted to a horizontal position as needed, thereby cleaning the lower mold 4 in all directions.
