Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sternal plate mold technology, specifically a sternal plate upper and lower claw forming mold. Background Technology
[0002] The sternal plate is used for sternal fixation after median sternotomy. Depending on the shape of the sternum, the sternal plate consists of an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a locking mechanism. Typically, the upper and lower jaws are formed directly in one molding process using a punch and a die. However, due to the irregular shapes of the upper and lower jaws, displacement occurs during molding, resulting in unstable dimensions. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to provide a sternal plate upper and lower claw forming mold to solve the problem of unstable sternal plate forming dimensions in the existing molds.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem of the device is as follows: a sternal plate upper and lower claw forming mold, comprising: a primary forming mold; a secondary forming mold, both the primary forming mold and the secondary forming mold comprising an upper template and a lower template; the primary forming mold further comprising: a primary punch, the primary punch being installed on the upper template; a primary die, the primary die being installed on the lower template, the primary die having a primary mold cavity, the primary punch being adapted to the primary mold cavity; a sternal plate, the sternal plate being at least partially located between the primary mold cavity and the primary punch, the sternal plate having a first positioning pin hole; a positioning plate, the positioning plate being placed in the primary mold cavity, the positioning plate having a second positioning pin hole; a positioning pin, the positioning pin being adapted to the first positioning pin hole and the second positioning pin hole; and polyurethane rubber, the polyurethane rubber being disposed in the primary die, the polyurethane rubber abutting against the positioning plate.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using a primary molding die and a secondary molding die to form the upper and lower claws of the sternal plate separately, the forming difficulty of the upper and lower claws of the sternal plate is reduced, making it easier to fix the sternal plate during the forming process, thereby making the dimensions of the formed sternal plate more stable. During the primary molding process, the primary punch is pressed into the primary mold cavity. Since the sternal plate is located between the primary mold cavity and the primary punch, the sternal plate will bend during the pressing process, thus forming the upper or lower claw. During the primary molding process, a positioning pin connects the positioning plate to the sternal plate into a whole. Furthermore, before and during the primary molding process, polyurethane rubber continuously holds the positioning plate in place, preventing the sternal plate from shifting and improving the dimensional stability of the formed sternal plate. The dimensions of the positioning plate are matched with the primary mold cavity, which guides the positioning plate. The primary die has a groove to accommodate the polyurethane rubber, which can deform under pressure during the primary molding process. Preferably, the positioning plate is provided with a limiting groove to accommodate the sternal plate, which restricts the planar freedom of the sternal plate and further improves the stability of the sternal plate forming dimensions.
[0006] Preferably, both the primary molding die and the secondary molding die include:
[0007] Guide sleeve, the guide sleeve is installed on the upper template, and a guide space is provided inside the guide sleeve;
[0008] Guide columns are installed on the lower template and are adapted to guide space.
[0009] Preferably, the one-piece molding die further includes:
[0010] A connecting column, one end of which is connected to a positioning plate;
[0011] Guide hole: The lower template is provided with a guide hole, and the other end of the connecting column is movably set in the guide hole.
[0012] Preferably, the secondary molding die includes:
[0013] Secondary punch, the secondary punch is installed on the upper template;
[0014] The secondary die is installed on the lower template and has a secondary cavity. The secondary punch is adapted to the secondary cavity.
[0015] Preferably, the secondary molding die further includes:
[0016] The third locating pin hole is located in the secondary punch.
[0017] The movable mandrel is adapted to the third positioning pin hole and the first positioning pin hole.

[0019] Fasteners are used to connect the primary punch to the upper template, the primary die to the lower template, the secondary punch to the upper template, and the secondary die to the lower template. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Specifically, the upper and lower claws of the sternal plate 10 are formed using a primary molding die and a secondary molding die, respectively, reducing the forming difficulty of the upper and lower claws of the sternal plate 10 and facilitating the fixation of the sternal plate 10 during the forming process, thereby making the dimensions of the formed sternal plate more stable. During the primary molding process, the primary punch 3 is pressed into the primary mold cavity 5. Since the sternal plate 10 is located between the primary mold cavity 5 and the primary punch, the sternal plate 10 will bend during the pressing of the primary punch 3, thus forming the upper or lower claws. During the primary molding process, the positioning pin 13 connects the positioning plate 7 and the sternal plate 10 into a whole. Before and during the primary molding process, the polyurethane rubber 12 continuously holds the positioning plate 7 in place, preventing the sternal plate 10 from shifting and improving the dimensional stability of the formed sternal plate 10. The dimensions of the positioning plate 7 are matched with the primary mold cavity 5, and the primary mold cavity 5 guides the positioning plate 7. The primary die 4 is provided with a groove to accommodate the polyurethane rubber 12, which can deform under pressure during the primary molding process. Preferably, the positioning plate 7 is provided with a limiting groove to accommodate the sternal plate 10, which restricts the planar freedom of the sternal plate 10 and further improves the stability of the forming dimensions of the sternal plate 10.
[0033] Furthermore, both the primary molding die and the secondary molding die include: a guide sleeve 2, which is installed on the upper mold plate 1 and has a guide space inside; and a guide post 9, which is installed on the lower mold plate 6 and is adapted to the guide space.

[0034] Furthermore, the one-piece molding die also includes: a connecting post 14, one end of which is connected to the positioning plate 7; and a guide hole 15, wherein the lower mold plate 6 is provided with a guide hole 15, and the other end of the connecting post 14 is movably disposed in the guide hole 15. The cooperation between the connecting post 14 and the guide hole 15 makes the movement of the positioning plate 7 more stable during the molding process. In detail, both the primary die 4 and the polyurethane rubber 12 are provided with through holes to accommodate the connecting post 14, and the connecting post 14 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 7.
[0035] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the secondary forming mold further includes: a secondary punch 16, which is installed on the upper template 1; and a secondary die 18, which is installed on the lower template 6. The secondary die 18 is provided with a secondary mold cavity 19, and the secondary punch 16 is adapted to the secondary mold cavity 19. The principle of secondary forming is roughly the same as that of primary forming, that is, the sternal plate 10 is located between the secondary punch 16 and the secondary mold cavity 19. During the process of the secondary punch 16 being pressed into the secondary mold cavity 19, the upper and lower claws of the sternal plate 10 are formed.
[0036] Furthermore, the secondary forming mold also includes: a third positioning pin 13 hole, which is located in the secondary punch 16; and a movable mandrel 20, which is adapted to the third positioning pin 13 hole and the first positioning pin 13 hole.
