Detailed Implementation

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. Therefore, all other embodiments of this application described herein, and all embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the embodiments in this application, should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 A mold-changing structure for quick mold switching includes a base plate 11. A connecting shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 11. A reduction motor is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 11 by bolts, and the output shaft of the reduction motor passes through the base plate 11 and is fixed to the connecting shaft 9. Multiple lower molds 8 are fixed to the outer circumference of the top of the connecting shaft 9 by bolts. A slide rail 10 is fixed to the top of the base plate 11 by bolts to make the multiple lower molds 8 rotate more smoothly. The slide rail 10 guides the lower molds 8, making the lower molds 8 more stable during sliding.

[0024] Multiple upper molds 7 are evenly slidably connected to the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 9, and the multiple upper molds 7 correspond one-to-one with the lower molds 8. The top of the connecting shaft 9 is fixed with a top plate 6 by bolts. Multiple tension springs 15 are provided between the upper molds 7 and the top plate 6. Each of the multiple tension springs 15 has a damping telescopic rod 14 passing through it. One end of the damping telescopic rod 14 is fixed to the top plate 6, and the other end is fixed to the upper mold 7. The damping telescopic rod 14 prevents the upper mold 7 from shifting during movement, making the upper mold 7 more stable during use.

[0025] One end of each pair of adjacent tension springs 15 is fixed to the upper mold 7, and the other end is fixed to the top plate 6. The top of the bottom plate 11 is provided with a pushing mechanism to push one of the upper molds 7 downward. The pushing mechanism includes a support frame 1 fixed to the top of the bottom plate 11 by bolts. The top of the support frame 1 is fixed with a cylinder 3 by bolts, and the piston rod of the cylinder 3 passes through the support frame 1 and is fixed with a pressure plate 2 by bolts. When the cylinder 3 is activated, the piston rod of the cylinder 3 extends and drives the pressure plate 2 to move downward. The pressure plate 2 pushes the upper mold 7 downward, so that the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 8 fit together, thereby processing the workpiece. By starting the motor, the output shaft of the motor drives multiple upper molds 7 and multiple lower molds 8 to rotate simultaneously, rotating the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 8 to be used to the bottom of the pushing mechanism, thereby realizing the rapid switching of molds. This solves the problem that the existing molds need to be disassembled, the old molds removed, and the new molds installed, which leads to a lot of wasted time. It greatly reduces the switching time and improves the overall processing efficiency.

[0026] In this invention, multiple upper molds 7 are each bolted with a first protrusion 4 on both sides, and each first protrusion 4 has a limiting hole 5 at its bottom. Multiple lower molds 8 are each bolted with a second protrusion 12 on both sides, and each second protrusion 12 has a bolted with a rod 13 that is inserted into the limiting hole 5 at its top. Each rod 13 has a bevel 20 at its top. The bevel 20 enables self-adaptive positioning between the limiting hole 5 and the rod 13, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments between the limiting hole 5 and the rod 13. This greatly improves positioning efficiency and accuracy. The use of the rod 13 and the limiting hole 5 ensures precise positioning of the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 8, preventing deviations during opening and closing and improving the stability of the mold during use.

[0027] One side of each of the multiple lower molds 8 is fixed with a fixing plate 16 by bolts. The bottom of each of the multiple fixing plates 16 is threaded with a threaded rod 19. One end of each of the multiple threaded rods 19 passes through the fixing plate 16 and is fixed with a knob for easy rotation of the threaded rod 19 by bolts. By using the knob, the threaded rod 19 can be rotated more conveniently, making it easier to rotate the threaded rod 19.

[0028] The lower ends of multiple threaded rods 19 are rotatably connected to insert blocks 17 via bearings. The tops of multiple base plates 11 are fixed with fixing blocks by bolts. The top of the fixing blocks has slots 18 that engage with the insert blocks 17. By rotating the threaded rods 19, the threaded rods 19 drive the insert blocks 17 to move downwards, so that the insert blocks 17 are inserted into the slots 18. This achieves rapid fixing of the lower mold 8, avoids the problem of the lower mold 8 and the upper mold 7 moving during use, which would affect the production of the workpiece, and greatly improves the stability of the mold during use.

[0029] Working principle: When work is required, the motor is started, and the output shaft of the motor drives multiple upper dies 7 and multiple lower dies 8 to rotate simultaneously. The upper dies 7 and lower dies 8 to be used are rotated to the lower part of the pushing mechanism, thereby realizing the rapid switching of dies. Then, the threaded rod 19 is rotated, and the threaded rod 19 drives the insert block 17 to move downward, so that the insert block 17 is inserted into the slot 18, thereby quickly fixing the lower die 8. Finally, the cylinder 3 is started, and the piston rod of the cylinder 3 extends to drive the pressure plate 2 to move downward. The pressure plate 2 pushes the upper die 7 to move downward, so that the upper die 7 and the lower die 8 fit together. At the same time, the insert rod 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 5, thereby processing the workpiece.

Many more modifications can be made based on the teachings of this utility model, and all such modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
