[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting equipment technology, specifically to a positioning and cutting mechanism for foam molds. Background Technology

[0002] Foam molds are products made from foam with specific shapes and are one of the main components in casting production. They are commonly used in lost foam casting and sand casting production. Foam molds are produced by cutting a whole piece of foam with an electric heating wire, which is also the main production method now.

[0003] The appearance of the models varies, and the cutting paths are also different. When the foam is stationary, the machine needs to be stopped and adjusted before the corresponding shape can be produced, which is cumbersome and has low processing efficiency. Therefore, a positioning and cutting mechanism for foam molds is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the appearance of the models varies, and the cutting paths are also different.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-3The present invention provides a positioning and cutting mechanism for a foam mold, including a processing table 1. The processing table 1 has a sliding groove 2 on its top and near both sides. The sliding groove 2 is detachably connected to a frame 3 via a slider inside. A telescopic rod 6 is provided below the frame 3. The output end of the telescopic rod 6 is detachably connected to a connecting plate 7. A cutting frame 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 7. A placement plate 10 is rotatably provided on the middle side wall of the top of the processing table 1.

[0017] The top horizontal plate of the gantry 3 has side grooves 4 on both sides. A movable block 5 is detachably connected to the side groove 4 via a slider. One end of the telescopic rod 6 is detachably embedded in the middle of the bottom side wall of the movable block 5. A motor 8 is detachably connected to the side of the connecting plate 7 away from the cutting frame 9. The output end of the motor 8 passes through the connecting plate 7 and is detachably connected to one side wall of the cutting frame 9. The cutting frame 9 has a U-shaped structure and a heating wire is fixed inside.

[0018] The technical effects of this solution are as follows: Because the gantry 3 is connected to the slide 2, the gantry 3 can move back and forth along the slide 2. At the same time, the side groove 4 and the moving block 5 can drive the cutting frame 9 to make lateral movement adjustment. Through the combination of these two movement methods, all-round movement adjustment can be achieved, thereby adapting to different cutting routes. Starting the motor 8 drives the cutting frame 9 to rotate, which can adjust the orientation angle of the cutting frame 9. Combined with the above adjustment methods, it can realize the processing of different irregular molds. At the same time, the cutting frame 9 can be raised and lowered under the drive of the telescopic rod 6, further improving the smoothness of cutting and avoiding machine stop for adjustment.

[0019] A groove 12 is provided on the top side wall of the placement tray 10. A suction cup 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the groove 12. The suction cups 13 are arranged in a cross shape. Two inserts 14 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove 12 near the middle. The top plane of the suction cup 13 is 0.5-1cm higher than the top plane of the placement tray 10. A driver 15 is detachably embedded in the middle of the top side wall of the processing table 1. The output end of the driver 15 is detachably connected to the bottom side wall of the placement tray 10. An adjustment groove 11 is provided on the top side wall of the processing table 1 near the placement tray 10. A diagonal support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment groove 11 through a slider. An anti-tipping plate 16 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the diagonal support plate 17. A rubber pad 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the anti-tipping plate 16 away from the diagonal support plate 17.

[0020] The technical effects of this solution are as follows: the suction cup 13 and the insert post 14 connected in the groove 12 can position the placed foam, ensuring the stability of the foam placement, avoiding displacement of the foam during the cutting process and affecting normal processing, and ensuring that the foam rotates synchronously with the placement plate 10, avoiding the placement plate 10 and the foam being out of sync and affecting the rotation adjustment effect. When necessary, the anti-tipping plate 16 is driven to approach the placement plate 10, so that the rubber pad 18 is in contact with the foam, thereby limiting the foam and preventing the foam from moving during processing.

[0021] Specifically, when using this invention, the foam is placed on the placement tray 10, and the insert post 14 is inserted into the foam. By pressing, the suction cup 13 can be attached to the bottom of the foam to ensure its stability. If necessary, the anti-tipping plate 16 can be moved to a designated position to ensure that the rubber pad 18 is in contact with the foam. Then, the gantry 3 is driven to move to a designated position, and the foam is cut by the heating wire in the cutting frame 9. During the cutting process, the gantry 3, the moving block 5, and the telescopic rod 6 are activated to make corresponding adjustments and movements, thereby cutting the foam into the corresponding shape. Because it can be flexibly adjusted, and because the cutting frame 9 can rotate under the drive of the motor 8, the cutting flexibility is increased.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] All other parts of this utility model that are not described in detail belong to the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
