Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vacuum forming mold technology, and relates to a vacuum forming mold for a conical head cover of a drone. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of drone technology, the drone nose is no longer a simple shroud that reduces airflow resistance. New technologies have led to the installation of radar inside the nose and pods and other equipment on the outside. The installation of radar inside the nose requires the nose to have excellent wave transmission performance, making the overall structure of the drone nose more uniform.
[0003] Existing drone nose cone molding dies do not allow for convenient assembly and positioning when forming conical nose cones. This leads to errors in the assembled nose cone, reducing the overall precision of the drone nose cone and failing to meet actual molding requirements. Furthermore, during demolding, the product tends to stick to the molding die, increasing the difficulty of demolding. Utility Model Content

[0009] In the aforementioned vacuum forming mold for the conical helmet of the drone, the surfaces of the first forming section, the second forming section, the third forming section, and the fourth forming section are smoothly connected.
[0010] In the aforementioned vacuum forming mold for a conical drone helmet, the helmet drill template has a rectangular structure, and the helmet drill template is provided with fixing holes and vacuum holes, and the upper edge of the helmet drill template is rounded.
[0011] In the aforementioned vacuum forming mold for a conical drone helmet, the helmet clamping mechanism includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block, which are located on both sides of the fourth forming section.

The bottom of both the first clamping block and the second clamping block is fixedly mounted on the helmet drilling template via the base plate below, and the base plate is provided with screw holes.
[0013] In the aforementioned vacuum forming mold for a conical drone hood, a limiting post is installed on the side plate, and the limiting post extends toward the hood forming assembly to abut against the outer side of the fourth forming section.

The helmet forming component 1 has a conical structure and is located on the upper surface of the helmet drilling template 2. A helmet clamping mechanism is provided on the helmet drilling template 2. Both sides of the helmet forming component 1 are fixedly installed on the helmet drilling template 2 by the helmet clamping mechanism. The helmet forming component 1 includes a first forming part 3, a second forming part 4, a third forming part 5, and a fourth forming part 6. The outer surfaces of the first forming part 3, the second forming part 4, the third forming part 5, and the fourth forming part 6 constitute the structure of the inner cavity of the conical helmet of the drone.
[0028] Furthermore, the first molding section 3 is located at the top of the headgear molding assembly 1, the second molding section 4 is fixedly installed below the first molding section 3, the third molding section 5 is fixedly installed below the second molding section 4, and the fourth molding section 6 is fixedly installed below the third molding section 5.
[0029] In this embodiment, after the plastic sheet is deformed, it is applied to the contour surfaces of the first forming part 3, the second forming part 4, the third forming part 5 and the fourth forming part 6. The formed plastic sheet is then cooled and solidified in the forming mold body.
[0030] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the first molding section 3, the second molding section 4, the third molding section 5, and the fourth molding section 6 gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0031] In this embodiment, demolding is convenient, preventing the product from sticking to the molding mold, thereby reducing the scrap rate of the product.
[0032] Furthermore, the surfaces at the connection points of the first molding section 3, the second molding section 4, the third molding section 5, and the fourth molding section 6 are smoothly connected.
[0033] In this embodiment, the overall smoothness of the drone's conical head cover can be improved.
[0034] Furthermore, the head drill template 2 has a rectangular structure, and the head drill template 2 is provided with fixing holes 7 and vacuum holes 8, and the upper edge of the head drill template 2 is rounded.
[0035] In this embodiment, vacuuming is performed through the vacuum hole 8 on the headgear drill template 2. By using the air pressure difference or mechanical pressure on both sides of the sheet, the softened plastic sheet is made to adhere tightly to the molding die body.
[0036] Furthermore, the head cover clamping mechanism includes a first clamping block 9 and a second clamping block 10, which are located on both sides of the fourth forming section 6.
[0037] In this embodiment, the headgear forming component 1 is detached from the headgear drilling template 2, and the bottom of the headgear forming component 1 is snapped onto the headgear drilling template 2, thereby completing the assembly and positioning of the headgear forming component 1.
[0038] Furthermore, both the first clamping block 9 and the second clamping block 10 include a base plate 11 and a side plate 12, which form an L-shaped structure. The bottom of both the first clamping block 9 and the second clamping block 10 is fixedly mounted on the head cover drill template 2 through the lower base plate 11, and the base plate 11 is provided with screw holes 14.
[0039] In this embodiment, the screw hole 14 is used for fixing, which makes installation and disassembly convenient. The first clamping block 9 and the second clamping block 10 can play the role of clamping and positioning.
[0040] Furthermore, a limiting post 13 is installed on the side plate 12, and the limiting post 13 extends toward the headgear forming assembly 1 and abuts against the outer side of the fourth forming part 6.
[0041] Specifically, the limiting post 13 has a cylindrical structure and is made of rubber.
[0042] In this embodiment, the limiting post 13 can facilitate the positioning of the headgear forming component 1 and improve product accuracy.
[0043] Furthermore, the interiors of the first molding section 3, the second molding section 4, the third molding section 5, and the fourth molding section 6 are hollow structures.
[0044] In this embodiment, the weight of the first molding section 3, the second molding section 4, the third molding section 5, and the fourth molding section 6 can be reduced, making operation easier.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0046] This utility model relates to a vacuum forming mold for a conical drone helmet. It employs a vacuum forming process, utilizing thermoplastic sheets. The sheets are softened by heating, and the equipment controls the mold body to rise while simultaneously drawing a vacuum through the vacuum holes 8 on the helmet die template 2. Using the pressure difference or mechanical pressure on both sides of the sheet, the softened plastic sheet adheres tightly to the mold body. After deformation, the plastic sheet covers the contour surfaces of the first forming section 3, the second forming section 4, the third forming section 5, and the fourth forming section 6. The formed plastic sheet cools and solidifies within the mold body. The cooled drone conical helmet is then demolded by blowing air, removed, and subjected to necessary post-processing.
