Currently, the production of car underbody protection plates requires molding through a molding machine.

[0003] Existing automotive underbody protection plate molding machines include an upper mold, an infrared laser emitter, and a lower mold. The upper mold sits above the lower mold, with an infrared laser emitter mounted at each of the four corners. The lower mold has a cylindrical groove at each of its four corners, with each infrared laser emitter corresponding to one groove. When the upper and lower molds are closed, the infrared laser emitters reside within the cylindrical grooves of the lower mold. In this design, the infrared laser emitters project their emitted infrared laser light onto the lower mold, enabling precise positioning of the workpiece on the lower mold. However, in this automotive underbody protection plate molding machine, the infrared laser emitters are mounted to the mold using screws. When frequent adjustments or replacements of the infrared sensors are required, this installation method is cumbersome and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency in the installation and removal of the infrared sensors.

[0024] A molding machine with an infrared positioning mechanism includes a frame 1, a top mold 2, a bottom mold 3, a sliding seat 4, a driver 5, at least four guide rails 6, and an infrared positioning mechanism 7, wherein the infrared positioning mechanism 7 includes at least four magnet assemblies 71 and at least four infrared laser emitters 72.

[0025] Two guide rails 6 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the frame 1. All four guide rails 6 are arranged in the vertical direction. The driver 5 is installed on the inner top of the frame 1. The driving end of the driver 5 is equipped with the sliding seat 4. The sliding seat 4 is slidably installed on the four guide rails 6. The top mold 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 4. The bottom mold 3 is installed on the inner bottom of the frame 1. The top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3 are arranged symmetrically in the vertical direction.

[0026] The four infrared laser emitters 72 are respectively attached to the bottom surface of the sliding seat 4 by their respective magnet assemblies 71, and the four infrared laser emitters 72 are respectively located on the outer side of the four corners of the top mold 2.

[0027] This solution includes a molding machine with an infrared positioning mechanism. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1-3 As shown, four guide rails 6, four magnet assemblies 71, and four infrared laser emitters 72 are provided, and the driver 5 is a hydraulic cylinder. When the car underbody protection plate 8 needs to be molded, the operator first places the blank to be processed (not shown in the figure) on the bottom mold 3, and then starts the driver 5. The driver 5 drives the sliding seat 4 to move downward, thereby driving the top mold 2 to move downward. Finally, the top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3 complete the mold closing action, realizing the molding of the car underbody protection plate 8. To further explain, since the four infrared laser emitters 72 are located on the outside of the four corners of the top mold 2, during the process of placing the blank to be processed, the infrared laser emitters 72 are used to emit infrared lasers. The four infrared laser emitters 72 project their respective emitted infrared lasers onto the bottom mold 3. With the help of the marks or spots formed by the infrared lasers on the bottom mold 3, the blank to be processed is accurately positioned on the bottom mold 3, thereby improving the yield of the subsequent molding of the car underbody protection plate 8. The arrangement of the four guide rails 6 can improve the stability of the movement of the sliding seat 4.

[0028] In this solution, the four infrared laser emitters 72 are respectively attached to the bottom surface of the sliding base 4 by their respective magnet assemblies 71, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the infrared laser emitters 72. Compared with the traditional screw fastening method, this solution uses magnetic attraction to install and fix the infrared laser emitters 72. When frequent adjustment or replacement of the infrared laser emitters 72 is required, this solution can achieve the disassembly and assembly of the infrared laser emitters 72 without the use of additional tools, greatly simplifying the disassembly and assembly process, thereby shortening the disassembly and assembly time and improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0029] Preferably, the magnet assembly 71 includes four first magnet blocks 711 and four second magnet blocks 712; the four first magnet blocks 711 are all mounted on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 4, and the four first magnet blocks 711 are respectively located on the outer sides of the four corners of the top mold 2; the four second magnet blocks 712 are respectively mounted on the top of the corresponding infrared laser emitter 72, and the first magnet blocks 711 and the second magnet blocks 712 attract each other. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, by setting a second magnet block 712 on the top of the infrared laser emitter 72 and a first magnet block 711 on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 4, the infrared laser emitter 72 and the sliding seat 4 are quickly fixed by the magnetic adsorption between the first magnet block 711 and the second magnet block 712.

[0030] Preferably, the top mold 2 has positioning grooves 20 at each of its four corners, and the bottom mold 3 has positioning protrusions 30 at each of its four corners, with the positioning grooves 20 and the positioning protrusions 30 cooperating with each other. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2-3 As shown, during the mold closing process of the top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3, when the top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3 gradually approach each other and complete the mold closing action, the mutual cooperation of the positioning groove 20 and the positioning protrusion 30 can accurately guide the relative position of the top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3, effectively avoid mold closing deviation, ensure the accuracy and stability of mold closing, and thus ensure the molding quality of the car underbody protection plate 8.

[0031] Preferably, it further includes a plurality of first buffer pads 9 and a plurality of second buffer pads 10, and the top surface of the bottom mold 3 has a groove 31; the plurality of first buffer pads 9 are evenly disposed around the opening of the groove 31, and the plurality of second buffer pads 10 are all disposed on the inner bottom surface of the groove 31. In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, during the molding of the car underbody protection plate 8, the operator first precisely places the blank to be processed into the groove 31 of the bottom mold 3, and then drives the top mold 2 to approach the bottom mold 3 through the driver 5 to complete the mold closing action. During the mold closing process of the top mold 2 and the bottom mold 3, the arrangement of several first buffer pads 9 and several second buffer pads 10 plays a buffering role, effectively reducing the impact force that may be generated during mold closing, and ensuring the stability and safety of the molding process.

[0032] Preferably, it also includes at least four lifting rings 11, with two lifting rings 11 installed on each of the front and rear sides of the bottom mold 3. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3As shown, when installing the bottom mold 3, using the lifting ring 11 for hoisting can keep the bottom mold 3 relatively stable during movement, reducing the possibility of swaying and tilting. This helps to accurately install the bottom mold 3 into the inner bottom of the frame 1, thereby ensuring the quality of the molded automotive underbody protection plate 8.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes a controller 12, which is disposed on the front side of the frame 1, and the controller 12 is used to control the operating state of the drive 5. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to mold the car underbody protection plate 8, the operator controls the driver 5 to start by operating the controller 12, so that the top mold 2 approaches the bottom mold 3 and completes the mold closing action.

[0034] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
