Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of washing machine manufacturing, and in particular to a washing machine mold cutting and fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] A washing machine consists of a stainless steel inner drum, a mechanical program controller, an outer shell protected by phosphating, electrophoresis, and spraying, and several heavy cement blocks used to balance the huge centrifugal force generated when the drum rotates. Together with the action of detergent and water, the clothes are washed clean. The outer shell of the washing machine needs to be made into a mold beforehand, and then cut and polished.

[0003] The prior art Chinese utility model patent with application number CN202021562064.8 relates to a washing machine mold cutting and fixing device, including a base, a worktable, an adjustment mechanism, a threaded rod, a clamping plate and a rubber plate, which can satisfy the limiting and fixing of washing machine molds of different sizes.

[0004] However, in actual use, the clamping process of the above-mentioned device requires manual operation by the operator, which increases the labor intensity of the operator. In addition, the effective contact area between the mold size and its clamping plate is different for different models of molds. Using a uniform clamping plate will lead to excessive local pressure and local damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a washing machine mold cutting and fixing device that provides support and fixation for the mold through a support device, facilitates the side cutting process, allows the device to adapt to molds of different sizes through an adjustment device, and provides power through a drive device, thereby reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving the practicality of the device.

[0006] This utility model discloses a washing machine mold cutting and fixing device, comprising a support device, an adjustment device, and a drive device. The adjustment device is mounted on the support device, and the drive device is mounted on the support device. The support device provides support and fixation for the mold and facilitates the side cutting process. The adjustment device enables the device to adapt to molds of different sizes. The drive device provides power, reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving the practicality of the device.

[0007] Preferably, the support device includes a frame, a support platform, a cutting and discharge groove, and arc-shaped clamps. The support platform is installed in the middle of the upper end face of the frame, and a set of cutting and discharge grooves are respectively provided in the middle of the front and rear end faces of the frame. A set of arc-shaped clamps is provided on the left and right sides of the frame, and the two sets of arc-shaped clamps clamp the mold. The support platform provides support for the bottom of the mold, and the cutting and discharge grooves facilitate the direct drop of metal debris generated during the cutting process out of the equipment's working area, and facilitate the cutting operations at the bottom. Multiple sets of different arc-shaped clamps are designed according to different mold sizes to match different molds for clamping and fixing, which improves the adaptability and practicality of the device.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting device includes a lead screw, limit rods, a transverse platform, a geared motor, a first rotating shaft seat, a drive arm, and a connecting rod. A set of rectangular slots is provided on the left and right sides of the upper end face of the frame. A lead screw and two sets of limit rods are horizontally installed in the rectangular slots, with the two sets of limit rods located on the front and rear sides of the lead screw, respectively. The transverse platform is installed in the rectangular slots and connected to the lead screw via nuts. Both sets of limit rods pass through the main body of the transverse platform. A set of geared motors is installed on the left and right end faces of the frame, with the output end of the geared motor connected to the lead screw on its corresponding side. A first rotating shaft seat is installed on the upper end face of the transverse platform, and the lower part of the drive arm is fitted onto the rotating shaft of the first rotating shaft seat. Two connecting rods are installed on the upper part of the outer side face of each set of arc-shaped clamps via brackets. The drive arm has two sets of circular holes on its upper surface, which are connected by a set of connecting rods. The two sets of connecting rods on the arc-shaped clamping plate are inserted into these holes to facilitate the replacement of the arc-shaped clamping plate. The connection between the drive arm and the first rotating shaft seat allows for adjustment of the angle of the arc-shaped clamping plate, enabling it to clamp and release the mold. The geared motor transmits power to the lead screw, which rotates, causing the transverse platform to move left and right. The position of the transverse platform is adjusted according to the dimensions of the mold and the arc-shaped clamping plate, ensuring the arc-shaped clamping plate fits perfectly against the mold during clamping, reducing excessive local pressure. Two sets of limiting rods limit the transverse movement of the platform, improving the stability and practicality of the device.

[0009] Preferably, the device also includes a groove and fixing bolts. A groove is provided on the middle part of the side of the drive arm away from the arc-shaped clamp. Two sets of fixing bolts are installed on the upper middle part of the side of the drive arm. The pressing end of the fixing bolt can pass through the drive arm and extend into the circular hole of the drive arm to contact the groove on the connecting rod. By rotating the fixing bolt, the fixing bolt is driven to press the groove on the connecting rod, thereby fixing the installation position of the arc-shaped clamp, which facilitates the quick installation and removal of the arc-shaped clamp and improves the practicality of the device.

[0010] Preferably, the drive device includes a second rotating shaft seat, a third rotating shaft seat, and an electric cylinder. A set of third rotating shaft seats is installed on the left and right edges of the upper end face of the frame, and a second rotating shaft seat is installed in the middle of the outer side of the drive arm. The fixed end of the electric cylinder is installed on the side of the rotating shaft of the third rotating shaft seat, and the moving end of the electric cylinder is connected to the side of the rotating shaft of the second rotating shaft seat. By controlling the extension of the electric cylinder, the drive arm is driven to complete the flipping action, thereby driving the arc-shaped clamping plate to complete the clamping and releasing action of the mold.

The laser transmitter is installed in the middle of the outer side of the drive arm, and the signal receiving box is installed on the upper surface of the transverse platform. A laser sensing end is provided inside the signal receiving box, and a pinhole is provided on the upper surface of the signal receiving box. When the laser signal from the laser transmitter passes through the pinhole and enters the signal receiving box, causing the laser sensing end to receive the signal, it indicates that the drive arm is in a vertical state. This makes it easier for the operator to distinguish the rotation angle of the drive arm and improves the practicality of the device.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a scale, which is provided on the upper surface of the frame; the scale allows the operator to quickly identify the position of the transverse platform, so as to facilitate the rapid position adjustment of the transverse platform when assembling different curved clamps.
