[0031] like Figures 1 to 8The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the present invention, relating to a mold 11 flipping device. The device includes a body 10 connected to a mold 11, which comprises an upper template 12 and a lower template 13. The body 10 includes a base 20, a support lifting mechanism 30, and a flipping mechanism 40. The base 20 is positioned below the support lifting mechanism 30. The support lifting mechanism 30 includes a support platform 31 and a lifting device 50. The support platform 31 is detachably connected to the lower template 13. The lifting device 50 drives the support platform 31. The mechanism is designed for lifting and moving; the flipping mechanism 40 includes a flipping frame 60, a first column 41, a second column 42, and a driving device 43; the flipping frame 60 is detachably connected to the upper template 12; there are two first columns 41 and two second columns 42, which are fixedly connected to the base 20; the two first columns 41 are hinged to the rear of the flipping frame 60; the two second columns 42 are locked to the front of the flipping frame 60 by a locking device 70; the driving device 43 is used to drive the flipping frame 60 to flip around an axis.

[0032] Specifically, the above structural design allows the mold 11 to be flipped in steps. First, the height of the mold 11 is adjusted by the support lifting mechanism 30, and then the upper template 12 of the mold 11 is flipped using the flipping mechanism 40, which improves the flexibility and controllability of the operation. At the same time, the detachable connection between the support platform 31 and the lower template 13, and between the flipping frame 60 and the upper template 12, facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the mold 11, and improves the versatility and applicability of the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, locking seats 61 are respectively provided at both ends of the flipping frame 60 near the second column 42, and the locking seats 61 are configured to cooperate with the locking device 70. Specifically, the above structure allows the locking device 70 to be accurately connected to the flipping frame 60. When the flipping frame 60 is connected to the upper template 12, the cooperation between the locking device 70 and the locking seats 61 can firmly fix the flipping frame 60 to the second column 42, effectively preventing the flipping frame 60 from shaking or shifting. This stable connection method ensures the stability of the mold 11 during the flipping process, avoids collisions or friction between the mold 11 and other components due to the shaking of the flipping frame 60, thereby protecting the surface quality and precision of the mold 11.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking cavity 62 is provided inside one side of the locking seat 61, and a locking plate 63 is provided at the bottom of the locking cavity 62 to engage with the locking device 70. Specifically, the locking cavity 62 provides a safe and stable installation space for the locking plate 63. The engagement of the locking plate 63 with the locking device 70 enables a reliable connection between the tilting frame 60 and the second column 42. This engagement method has high strength and stability, effectively preventing the mold 11 from shaking or shifting, and further improving the safety and stability of the connection process between the tilting frame 60 and the upper template 12.

[0035] Furthermore, the drive device 43 includes at least two hydraulic cylinders 44. One end of each hydraulic cylinder 44 is hinged to the base 20 via a hinge seat 45, and the output end of each hydraulic cylinder 44 is hinged to the tilting frame 60 via a connecting ear plate 46. Specifically, the arrangement of multiple hydraulic cylinders 44 provides sufficient power to drive the tilting frame 60 to tilt around its axis, ensuring a smooth tilting process. The hinged connection provides good flexibility, adapting to changes in the angle of the tilting frame 60 during the tilting process. During the tilting process, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 44 can extend and retract with the movement of the tilting frame 60, while the hinge point allows the tilting frame 60 to rotate freely within a certain range, avoiding structural damage or movement obstruction caused by an overly rigid connection, thus ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the drive process.

[0036] Furthermore, the locking device 70 includes a locking hook 71 and a locking cylinder 72; the locking hook 71 is fastened to the locking plate 63; the output end of the locking cylinder 72 is driven by the locking hook 71. Specifically, the fastening connection between the locking hook 71 and the locking plate 63 is simple and reliable, enabling rapid locking and unlocking between the tilting frame 60 and the second column 42. The driving connection of the locking cylinder 72 makes the locking process more convenient, faster, and more precise. Operators can easily achieve the fastening and disengagement of the locking hook 71 and the locking plate 63 by controlling the action of the locking cylinder 72, improving the operating efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the precise control of the locking cylinder 72 ensures that the locking force is appropriate, guaranteeing a firm connection between the tilting frame 60 and the second column 42 while avoiding damage to the equipment due to excessive locking force.

[0037] Furthermore, the lifting device 50 includes a lifting cylinder 51, several guide columns 52, a first linkage module 80, and a second linkage module 90. Two lifting cylinders 51 are provided, each connected to the support platform 31 and the base 20 respectively. The guide columns 52 are connected to the support platform 31 and the base 20 respectively. Two first linkage modules 80 are provided, arranged opposite to each other, and each first linkage module 80 is engaged with two guide columns 52 on the same side. The second linkage module 90 is engaged with both first linkage modules 80. Specifically, the coordinated operation of the two lifting cylinders 51 provides sufficient and stable power for the lifting of the support platform 31, ensuring that the support platform 31 remains stable during lifting and avoiding swaying or jamming due to insufficient or unbalanced power. The guide columns 52 provide precise guidance, ensuring that the support platform 31 can only lift and lower along a predetermined trajectory, effectively preventing deviation during lifting and improving the accuracy of the lifting operation. The meshing connection between the first linkage module 80 and the second linkage module 90 enables synchronous linkage between the guide columns 52, allowing all parts of the support platform 31 to rise and fall simultaneously and equally, further enhancing the stability and synchronicity of the lifting process and ensuring that the mold 11 will not be damaged due to uneven force during the lifting process.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner side of the guide post 52 is provided with guide teeth 53, and the guide post 52 is engaged with the first linkage module 80 through the guide teeth 53. Specifically, this engagement method has the characteristics of high precision and high stability. The design of the guide teeth 53 enables more precise transmission between the guide post 52 and the first linkage module 80, reduces errors and gaps in the transmission process, and ensures that the support platform 31 can be raised and lowered according to the predetermined speed and stroke. At the same time, the engagement of the guide teeth 53 can also enhance the stability of the connection, prevent loosening or slippage during the raising and lowering process, thereby improving the reliability of the raising and lowering of the support platform 31 and ensuring the safety of the mold 11 during the raising and lowering process.

[0039] Further, the first linkage module 80 includes a first linkage shaft 81, two first guide gears 82, and a first bevel gear 83. The first linkage shaft 81 is perpendicular to the guide post 52. The two first guide gears 82 are respectively connected to both ends of the first linkage shaft 81, and the two first guide gears 82 are respectively engaged with the guide teeth 53 of the two guide posts 52 arranged on the same side. The first bevel gear 83 is connected to one end of the first linkage shaft 81 and is engaged with the second linkage module 90. Specifically, the first linkage shaft 81 is perpendicular to the guide post 52. This arrangement allows the first guide gear 82 to accurately engage with the guide teeth 53 of the guide post 52, achieving efficient power transmission. Driven by the first linkage shaft 81, the first guide gear 82 can precisely drive the guide post 52 to move, ensuring the lifting accuracy of the support platform 31. The engagement of the first bevel gear 83 with the second linkage module 90 transmits power to other components, realizing the linkage between multiple guide posts 52. Through this linkage, each guide column 52 can move synchronously, further improving the stability and synchronization of the lifting and lowering of the support platform 31, and ensuring the stability of the mold 11 during the lifting and lowering process.

[0040] Furthermore, the second linkage module 90 includes a second linkage shaft 91 and two second bevel gears 92. The second linkage shaft 91 is vertically disposed on one side of the first linkage shaft 81. The two second bevel gears 92 are respectively connected to both ends of the second linkage shaft 91, and the second bevel gears 92 mesh with the first bevel gear 83. Specifically, the second linkage shaft 91 is vertically disposed on one side of the first linkage shaft 81. Through the meshing of the second bevel gears 92 and the first bevel gear 83, the power transmission between the first linkage module 80 and the second linkage module 90 is realized. This structural design enables a tight linkage system to be formed between the guide columns 52, ensuring that all guide columns 52 can work simultaneously and synchronously. During the lifting and lowering process of the support platform 31, this linkage system can effectively avoid the tilting or shaking of the support platform 31 caused by the inconsistent movement of individual guide columns 52, further improving the stability and reliability of the lifting and lowering of the support platform 31, and ensuring the safety of the mold 11 during the lifting and lowering process.

[0041] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting posts 21 are provided above the base 20, and the limiting posts 21 are abutted against the support platform 31. Specifically, the function of the limiting posts 21 is to precisely limit the descent position of the support platform 31, preventing the support platform 31 from descending excessively and damaging the equipment or mold 11. During the descent of the support platform 31, when the support platform 31 contacts the limiting posts 21, the limiting posts 21 can bear the weight of the support platform 31 and prevent it from continuing to descend, thereby avoiding collision between the support platform 31 and the base 20 due to operator error or equipment failure, protecting the structural integrity of the equipment and the safety of the mold 11.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] When the height of mold 11 needs to be adjusted, the operator locks the tilting frame 60 to the second column 42 using the locking device 70, thus fixing the mold 11 to the equipment body 10. Then, the lifting device 50 is activated. Both lifting cylinders 51 start working simultaneously, providing lifting power to the support platform 31. During the lifting process, the support platform 31 is precisely guided by guide columns 52. The guide teeth 53 on the inner side of the guide columns 52 mesh with the first guide gear 82 of the first linkage module 80, and the first bevel gear 83 of the first linkage module 80 also meshes with the second bevel gear 92 of the second linkage module 90. This meshing relationship creates a linkage system between the guide columns 52. When one guide column 52 moves, the other guide columns 52 move synchronously, ensuring that all parts of the support platform 31 can be lifted and lowered simultaneously and equally, thereby achieving stable and precise lifting of the support platform 31.

[0044] Once the support platform 31 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the tilting frame 60 is reliably connected to the upper template 12, and the drive device 43 is activated. At least two hydraulic cylinders 44 begin to work, their piston rods extending and retracting, driving the tilting frame 60 to tilt around an axis. Since the two ends of the hydraulic cylinders 44 are hinged to the base 20 and the tilting frame 60 respectively, the hinge points can adapt to the angle changes of the tilting frame 60 during the tilting process, allowing the movement of the hydraulic cylinders 44 to be smoothly transmitted to the tilting frame 60, ensuring the smooth tilting process of the upper template 12.

[0045] This invention achieves efficient and stable rotation of the mold 11 through a reasonable structural design. The supporting lifting mechanism 30 allows for flexible adjustment of the mold 11's height, facilitating operation under different working conditions. The design of the rotation mechanism 40 ensures that the mold 11 can rotate smoothly around its axis, improving the safety and reliability of the rotation process. The linkage design between various components, such as the linkage module in the lifting device 50 and the locking device 70 in the rotation mechanism 40, further improves the overall performance and operational efficiency of the equipment. Simultaneously, the detachable connection method facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the mold 11, improving the equipment's versatility and applicability. The setting of the limiting post 21 enhances the equipment's safety, preventing damage caused by operational errors.

[0046] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
