[0023] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated production artificial quartz stone forming mold, including a base 1, a rotating seat 2, a drive motor 3, a lower mold 4, an upper mold 5, a top plate 6, a shaped storage box 7, a grouting seat 8, and a push plate 9.

This design solves the problem of poor production efficiency of the original automated production artificial quartz stone forming mold.

[0024] In this embodiment, six sets of lower mold 4, top plate 6 and upper mold 5 are provided with equal specifications. The six sets of lower mold 4 are arranged at equal intervals on the upper surface of the rotating seat 2. This design allows the equipment to produce continuously without interruption. The rotating seat 2 is circular, and the base 1 has an L-shaped cross-section. The rotating seat 2 rotates tightly along the inner side of the base 1. The base 1 can limit the rotation of the rotating seat 2. The rotation of the rotating seat 2 can drive the lower mold 4 and top plate 6 to rotate together.

[0025] The inner side of the rotating seat 2 is provided with adjusting teeth 21, and the inner side of the rotating seat 2 is provided with adjusting gear 31. The adjusting gear 31 is meshed with the rotating seat 2 through adjusting teeth 21. The output end of the drive motor 3 is connected to the adjusting gear 31 through the motor shaft. The drive motor 3 is electrically connected to an external controller through wires. The drive motor 3 can drive the adjusting gear 31 to rotate through the motor shaft.

[0026] In this embodiment, side plates 41 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end face of the lower mold 4, and sealing grooves 42 are provided on the front and rear sides of the upper end face of the lower mold 4. A sealing plate 51 is provided on the lower end face of the upper mold 5. The sealing plate 51 and the sealing grooves 42 are engaged with each other. The lower mold 4 is tightly engaged with the upper mold 5 through the sealing plate 51 and the side plates 41. This design makes the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 4 have good sealing performance after closing, and the front and rear sides of the lower mold 4 are open, which makes it easy to push out the formed plate.

[0027] A first hydraulic telescopic rod 61 is installed on the lower end face of the top plate 6. The extended end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 61 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the upper mold 5. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 61 can drive the upper mold 5 to move in the vertical direction. A fixed plate 63 is provided below the top plate 6.

The design of the limit slide rod 62 and the through hole 64 can make the upper mold 5 move more stably in the vertical direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper mold 5 has a grouting hole 52 on its upper end face, and the grouting seat 8 has a hydraulic moving seat 82 on its lower end face. The hydraulic moving seat 82 has a grouting head 81 at its lower end. The grouting hole 52 matches the grouting head 81. The hydraulic moving seat 82 can drive the grouting head 81 to move vertically. The grouting head 81 can inject material slurry between the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 4 through the grouting hole 52. The upper end face of the grouting seat 8 has a connecting pipe 83. The grouting seat 8 is connected to the inside of the irregular-shaped storage box 7 through the connecting pipe 83. The outer side of the irregular-shaped storage box 7 is equipped with a fixed seat 92. The upper end face of the fixed seat 92 is equipped with a second hydraulic telescopic rod 91. The fixed seat 92 can fix the position of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 91. The extended end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 91 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the push plate 9. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 91 can drive the push plate 9 to move horizontally. The push plate 9 can push out the formed quartz stone slab.

[0029] An infrared sensor 93 is installed on the upper surface of the push plate 9, and an infrared receiver is installed on the upper surface of the upper mold 5. The infrared sensor 93 and the infrared receiver are matched. The infrared sensor 93 and the infrared receiver facilitate the positioning of the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 4. A forming plate collection platform 95 is set on the outer side of the base 1 corresponding to the push plate 9. An observation window 71 is installed on the outer side of the irregular-shaped storage box 7. A filling port 72 is set on the upper surface of the irregular-shaped storage box 7. The observation window 71 facilitates the user to observe the amount of material stored inside the irregular-shaped storage box 7.

[0030] Working Principle: Six sets of upper molds 5 and lower molds 4 form six production units. During the production process, these six production units carry out uninterrupted production processes. Taking one unit as an example, in a complete production cycle of this unit, there are six time periods as the rotating seat 2 rotates and stops. Each complete rotation of the rotating seat 2 is a complete rotation cycle. In the first time period, the upper mold 5 and lower mold 4 rotate with the rotating seat 2 to directly below the grouting seat 8. Then, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 61 drives the upper mold 5 to move downward, causing the sealing plate 51 to engage with the sealing groove 42 of the lower mold 4. At this time, the lower mold 4 forms a sealed whole with the upper mold 5 through the sealing plate 51 and the side plate 41. Then, the hydraulic moving seat 82 drives the grouting head 81 to move downward and through the grouting hole 52 to the lower mold 4 and the upper mold 5. Material slurry is poured in, and then the hydraulic moving seat 82 drives the grouting head 81 to reset. Then the rotating seat 2 drives the lower mold 4 and the upper mold 5 to rotate, entering the second time period. During this time period, another set of lower mold 4 and upper mold 5 is being grouted, while this unit is in the waiting stage for shaping. This stage lasts from the second time period to the end of the fifth time period. When entering the sixth time period, the rotating seat 2 drives the lower mold 4 and upper mold 5 to the position of the push plate 9. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 91 drives the upper mold 5 to move upward and separate from the lower mold 4. Then the first hydraulic telescopic rod 61 opens and drives the push plate 9 to extend forward, thereby pushing the quartz stone slab inside the lower mold 4 and moving it to the forming plate collection table 95, thus completing a complete production cycle. At the beginning of the next cycle, it moves to the grouting seat 8 position again for grouting.

[0031] Because this design employs an infrared sensor 93 and an infrared receiver 94, it facilitates the positioning of the lower mold 4 when the rotating seat 2 rotates, enabling the positioning of the grouting hole 52 and grouting head 81, as well as the positioning of the push plate 9 and the sheet material. Depending on specific needs and cost constraints, sensors with the same functions can be used instead. Furthermore, the molding plate collection platform 95 used in this design is not limited to the function of a collection box alone. Depending on the application scenario, a conveyor belt assembly connected to the next production workshop can be selected, allowing the finished sheet material to be directly transported to the next production workshop for operations such as grinding and polishing. The specific assembly conditions and methods are existing technologies and will not be elaborated further.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
