AI Technical Summary
In traditional floating mechanisms, the spring pressure is a fixed value and cannot be adjusted, the floating height is not adjustable, and the springs are easily damaged and need to be replaced frequently, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive operation.
A nitrogen spring is used as the pressure source. Pressure is regulated by controlling the charging and discharging of nitrogen. The float stroke is adjusted by adding or removing the height of the impact block or the second mounting plate. Positioning accuracy is improved by combining the guide sleeve with the guide and sliding positioning.
It achieves precise control of hole positioning, adjustable pressure of nitrogen spring, and adjustable float stroke, which improves operating efficiency and positional accuracy and reduces mold maintenance frequency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of floating material mechanisms, specifically a small floating material mechanism for thermoforming molds. Background Technology
[0002] In thermoforming technology, the locating pins used for laser cutting and positioning of semi-finished parts are generally fixed on the flat surface of the part. However, many thermoformed parts, due to their complex shapes and limited large flat surfaces, require smaller floating mechanisms. Traditional floating mechanisms typically use springs as the pressure source, with the springs installed between the insert and the backing plate or casting. The locating pins are threaded onto the backing plate or casting. This approach has the following drawbacks: the spring pressure is fixed and cannot be adjusted; the floating stroke of the floating core is fixed and cannot be adjusted; and the spring is a vulnerable component in the mold, requiring the insert to be disassembled for replacement, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a small floating material mechanism for thermoforming molds to solve the problem that the spring pressure in existing floating material mechanisms is a fixed value and cannot be adjusted.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model is as follows: A small floating material mechanism for a thermoforming mold includes a flip-hole positioning pin, a floating material core, several nitrogen springs, and a stop block. The bottom of the flip-hole positioning pin is fixed on the stop block. The upper part of the flip-hole positioning pin passes through the mold base and the insert of the thermoforming mold in sequence, and the top of the flip-hole positioning pin extends out of the insert. The floating material core is slidably connected to the outside of the flip-hole positioning pin. The outside of the floating material core is slidably connected to both the mold base and the insert, and the top of the floating material core extends out of the insert. Several nitrogen springs are installed at the bottom of the floating material core.
[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a guide sleeve, which is disposed between the floating core and the mold base. The floating core is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve, and the guide sleeve is fixedly connected to the mold base.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a first mounting plate, which is fixed to the bottom of the mold base, and several of the nitrogen springs are mounted on the first mounting plate.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes an impact block, which is fixed between the nitrogen spring and the float core.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a second mounting plate for fixing the float core to the impact block.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this solution are: (1) The position of the hole-turning positioning pin is fixed. Under the action of the nitrogen spring, the floating core floats to the predetermined height. After the upper mold is pressed down, it contacts the hot material sheet. This position is formed first. The part is turned into a hole after it reaches the bottom. The nitrogen spring is used as the pressure source. The pressure can be controlled by filling and releasing nitrogen in the nitrogen spring.
[0010] (2) The floating core is positioned by guide sleeve, which has higher positioning accuracy.
[0011] (3) The float stroke of the float core can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the height of the impact block or the second mounting plate. Attached Figure Description

The outside of the floating material core 2 is slidably connected to the mold base 9 and the insert 10. The guide sleeve 3 is set between the floating material core 2 and the mold base 9. The floating material core 2 is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 3.
