Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of item storage technology, specifically referring to a mold storage cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In the use of machinery, it's impossible for a single piece of equipment to be suitable for multiple production scenarios. Furthermore, due to cost or space constraints, users often cannot use a single piece of equipment for every scenario. Therefore, changing the molds on the equipment to adapt it to different production scenarios is a common practice. Molds in specialized industries sometimes need to be stored with the equipment, requiring orderly and secure storage. Some special molds weighing over 100 kilograms also require safe and convenient storage to reduce workload and improve operational efficiency. Mold storage cabinets are a common type of device in this context.
[0003] When changing molds, the molds removed from the equipment also need to be stored somewhere. After the molds from the mold cabinet are replaced on the equipment, they are stored back in the mold cabinet. Therefore, the mold cabinet needs to have sufficient storage space, which can be achieved by adding storage spaces or setting up a spare cabinet. However, adding storage spaces or adding storage cabinets will increase the space occupied.
[0004] Therefore, a simple and easy-to-access mold cabinet needs to be designed to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problems of the existing technology, this utility model designs a mold storage cabinet, which can facilitate the transfer and storage of molds.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A mold storage cabinet includes a cabinet body, a switch door, support legs, a mold bracket, and guide rails. The cabinet body has a switch door on one side. The mold bracket is located inside the cabinet body, and the guide rails are fixedly installed on the mold bracket. There are two guide rails, arranged parallel to each other. The mold is fixed on a mold base. The bottom of the mold base has rollers and guide wheels. The rollers are placed above the guide rails, and the guide wheels rotate on a horizontal plane and are in contact with the opposite sides of the two guide rails to prevent the mold base from detaching from the guide rails. After the track of the mold transfer device is connected to the guide rails, the mold can be fed into the cabinet body along the guide rails and placed on the guide rails.
[0007] Furthermore, the cabinet is equipped with two mold holders, one above the other, allowing for the simultaneous storage of two molds.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a mold storage rack, which is installed on the cabinet adjacent to the switch door. The mold storage rack is also equipped with two parallel guide rails, which are parallel to the guide rails on the mold bracket, and the distance between the two guide rails on the mold storage rack is equal to the distance between the two guide rails on the mold bracket. When two molds are already installed in the cabinet, the mold transfer device can temporarily store the delivered molds on the mold storage rack. The mold transfer device first moves the molds that need to be used away, then returns to retrieve the molds from the mold storage rack, and finally places them on the mold bracket inside the cabinet.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide rail has a threaded hole on its side, and a first locking bolt is installed in the threaded hole. The end of the first locking bolt has a handle, and a fixing seat is provided at the bottom of the mold base. When the first locking bolt is tightened, its end can abut against the fixing seat, thus locking the mold position and preventing movement.
[0010] Furthermore, the cabinet has two rotating brackets on the side near the mold storage rack, and the mold storage rack is rotatably connected to the rotating brackets. Folding feet are rotatably connected to the bottom of the mold storage rack on the side away from the rotating brackets. When not in use, the mold storage rack can be folded upwards to save space, and the folding feet can be folded and attached to the bottom surface of the mold storage rack.
[0011] Furthermore, both sides of the mold storage rack are provided with threaded holes, and a second locking bolt is installed in the threaded holes. A folding locking bracket is provided above the rotating bracket of the cabinet. The folding locking bracket has a through hole. When the mold storage rack is folded upward, the threaded hole of the mold storage rack is aligned with the through hole on the folding locking bracket. When the second locking bolt is tightened, the other end of the second locking bolt away from the handle can extend into the through hole on the folding locking bracket to prevent the mold storage rack from falling over.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the mold storage rack is provided with a foot support locking bracket, which has a through hole. A second locking bolt is installed on the folding foot support through a threaded hole. When the folding foot support is perpendicular to the mold storage rack, the second locking bolt can be rotated into the through hole on the foot support locking bracket. This locks the angle of the folding foot support, preventing it from suddenly reverting to its original folding position, which could cause the mold storage rack to tip over and damage the stored mold.
[0013] Furthermore, a fixing hook is provided at the bottom of the guide rail near the opening / closing door. The fixing hook is used to connect and fix with the quick-connect lock of the mold transfer device. The mold transfer device is also provided with a track. After the track of the mold transfer device is connected with the guide rail, the quick-connect lock of the mold transfer device is fastened to the fixing hook, which can fix the position of the mold transfer device and prevent the track from separating. At this time, the mold can be transferred between the mold transfer device and the mold storage cabinet.
[0014] Furthermore, a positioning block is provided at the top of the guide rail away from the opening and closing door. The positioning block is used to block the mold base, thus providing a buffer and preventing hard impacts.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide rail is provided with a stepped interface near the opening and closing door, which is used to connect with the interface with a complementary shape at the end of the track of the mold transfer device.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this mold storage cabinet are as follows: the mold bracket is equipped with guide rails, which facilitates the feeding and retrieval of molds without the need for handling, thus improving efficiency; the mold bracket adopts a guide rail design, with a stepped interface and quick-connect locking hook at one end of the guide rail, which connects and locks with the mold changing device to achieve rapid mold position transfer, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional bolt connections; the cabinet has two mold brackets, one above the other, which can store two molds at the same time, improving space utilization; and a temporary mold storage rack is provided, which can temporarily store molds when the cabinet is full, ensuring a smooth mold transfer process.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model is a mold storage cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a switch door 2, support legs 3, a mold bracket 4, and guide rails 5. The switch door 2 is located on one side of the cabinet body 1. The mold bracket 4 is located inside the cabinet body 1, and the guide rails 5 are fixedly installed on the mold bracket 4. There are two guide rails 5, arranged parallel to each other. The mold is fixed on a mold base 8. The bottom of the mold base 8 is provided with rollers 81 and guide wheels 82. The rollers 81 are placed above the guide rails 5, and the guide wheels 82 rotate on a horizontal plane and are in contact with the opposite sides of the two guide rails 5 to prevent the mold base 8 from detaching from the guide rails 5. After the track of the mold transfer device is connected to the guide rails 5, the mold can be sent into the cabinet body 1 along the guide rails 5 and placed on the guide rails 5.
[0024] Furthermore, the cabinet 1 is equipped with two mold holders 4, one above the other, which can store two molds simultaneously.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a mold storage rack 6, which is located on the cabinet 1 adjacent to the switch door 2. The mold storage rack 6 is also provided with two parallel guide rails 5, which are parallel to the guide rails 5 on the mold bracket 4, and the distance between the two guide rails 5 on the mold storage rack 6 is equal to the distance between the two guide rails 5 on the mold bracket 4. When two molds are already installed in the cabinet 1, the mold transfer device can temporarily store the delivered molds on the mold storage rack 6. The mold transfer device first moves the molds that need to be used away, then returns to retrieve the molds from the mold storage rack 6, and finally places them on the mold bracket 4 inside the cabinet 1.
[0026] Furthermore, the guide rail 5 has a threaded hole on its side, and a first locking bolt 7 is installed in the threaded hole. The end of the first locking bolt 7 has a handle. The bottom of the mold base 8 has a fixing seat 83. When the first locking bolt 7 is tightened, its end can abut against the fixing seat 83. Each guide rail is equipped with two first locking bolts 7, and two fixing seats 83 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the mold base 8. This locks the mold position to prevent movement.
[0027] Furthermore, the cabinet 1 is provided with two rotating brackets 11 on the side near the mold storage rack 6, and the mold storage rack 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating brackets 11. A folding foot support 61 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the side of the mold storage rack 6 away from the rotating brackets 11. When not in use, the mold storage rack 6 can be folded upwards to save space, and the folding foot support 61 can be folded and attached to the bottom surface of the mold storage rack 6.
[0028] Furthermore, both sides of the mold storage rack 6 are provided with threaded holes, and a second locking bolt 9 is installed in the threaded holes. A folding locking bracket 12 is provided above the rotating bracket 11 of the cabinet 1. The folding locking bracket 12 is provided with a through hole. When the mold storage rack 6 is folded upward, the threaded hole of the mold storage rack 6 is aligned with the through hole on the folding locking bracket 12. When the second locking bolt 9 is tightened, the other end of the second locking bolt 9 away from the handle can extend into the through hole on the folding locking bracket 12 to prevent the mold storage rack 6 from falling over.
[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the mold storage rack 6 is provided with a foot support locking bracket 62, which has a through hole. The folding foot support 61 is fitted with a second locking bolt 9 through a threaded hole. When the folding foot support 61 is perpendicular to the mold storage rack 6, the second locking bolt 9 can be rotated into the through hole on the foot support locking bracket 62. This locks the angle of the folding foot support 61, preventing the mold storage rack 6 from tipping over and damaging the stored molds if the folding foot support 61 suddenly resumes its folding position.
[0030] Furthermore, a fixing hook 51 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail 5 near the opening / closing door 2. The fixing hook 51 is used to connect and fix with the quick-connect lock of the mold transfer device. The mold transfer device is also provided with a track. After the track of the mold transfer device is connected with the guide rail 5, the quick-connect lock of the mold transfer device is fastened to the fixing hook 51, which can fix the position of the mold transfer device and prevent the track from separating. At this time, the mold can be transferred between the mold transfer device and the mold storage cabinet.
[0031] Furthermore, a positioning block 52 is provided at the top of the guide rail 5 at the end away from the switch door 2. The positioning block 52 is used to block the mold base 8, providing a buffering effect and preventing hard impacts. When the mold base 8 abuts against the positioning block 52, the first locking bolt 7 aligns with the through hole of the fixing seat 83 at the bottom of the mold base 8. Automatic alignment allows the first locking bolt 7 to be tightened directly to lock the mold base 8, improving efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, the guide rail 5 is provided with a stepped interface 53 at one end near the switch door 2, which is used to connect with the interface with a complementary shape at the end of the track of the mold transfer device.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this mold storage cabinet are as follows: the mold bracket is equipped with guide rails, which facilitates the feeding and retrieval of molds without the need for handling, thus improving efficiency; the mold bracket adopts a guide rail design, with a stepped interface and quick-connect locking hook at one end of the guide rail, which connects and locks with the mold changing device to achieve rapid mold position transfer, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional bolt connections; the cabinet has two mold brackets, one above the other, which can store two molds at the same time, improving space utilization; and a temporary mold storage rack is provided, which can temporarily store molds when the cabinet is full, ensuring a smooth mold transfer process.
