Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart meter housings, specifically a convenient deep cavity mold for smart meter housings. Background Technology
[0002] The demand for smart meters has also exploded. At the same time, different markets have increasingly higher requirements for their quality. Generally speaking, smart meters in the current technology are often manufactured using injection molding. This process involves injecting heated and molten material into a mold cavity under high pressure, and then cooling and solidifying it to obtain the finished product. The quality of the mold fundamentally determines the overall quality of the smart meter casing and the production efficiency. As the casing of a smart meter usually has a certain thickness, it is mainly formed using deep cavity molds. However, the splicing and locking structure of existing deep cavity molds has significant technical defects, which seriously restricts the production efficiency and quality stability of the casing.
[0003] Traditional deep cavity mold assembly and positioning rely on manual alignment and step-by-step locking, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. The assembly and alignment are time-consuming, and the positioning of the moving mold and the fixed mold uses multiple sets of conical locating pins. During assembly, the position needs to be repeatedly adjusted to achieve pin hole matching. There is also the dependence on locking tools: the mainstream locking method uses bolt sets, which need to be tightened one by one with a torque wrench. Bolt tightening is time-consuming and requires two people (one to hold the mold and one to tighten), which increases labor costs. The structural characteristics of deep cavity molds exacerbate the risk of assembly misalignment, which directly affects the dimensional accuracy of the product.
[0004] Existing locking structures cannot adapt to the high-pressure injection molding conditions of deep cavity molds: the locking force is significantly reduced, and traditional mechanical locking mechanisms (such as wedge block locks) are prone to thermal expansion and jamming when the mold temperature rises. In emergency situations, multiple parts need to be disassembled to unlock, and the time required to handle a single fault is long. Therefore, it is necessary to design a convenient deep cavity mold for smart meter housings to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a convenient deep cavity mold for a smart meter housing, including a mold frame 1. A top mold base 2 for demolding is installed at the bottom of the mold frame 1. An inclined top base 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the top mold base 2 and near both sides. Multiple sets of evenly arranged fasteners are installed between the inclined top base 3 and the mold frame 1. The fasteners are used to fasten and fix the mold frame 1. The mold frame 1 is placed on the two inclined top bases 3 and then locked and fixed by the multiple sets of fasteners. The fasteners are also provided with locking parts to help fix the mold frame 1. Multiple evenly arranged fixing grooves 4 are opened on one side of the inclined top base 3. The fixing grooves 4 are used to provide the movement space of the fasteners.
[0024] It should be added that the top mold base 2 supports the mold frame 1 through two inclined top bases 3. When the mold frame 1 and the inclined top base 3 are spliced and installed, the mold frame 1 and the inclined top base 3 are spliced and clamped by the fasteners. The fasteners drive the locking parts to be inserted into both sides of the mold frame 1 for locking and fixing, preventing the mold frame 1 from moving up or shifting left or right, and improving the stability of the splicing and clamping of the mold frame 1.
[0025] Specifically, the fastener includes a connecting rod 5 that is slidably connected to the fixing groove 4. One end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to a driving part 6. A sliding frame 7 is fitted on the outside of the driving part 6. A support frame 9 for fixing the anti-reverse block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding frame 7. A plurality of evenly arranged insertion plates 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mold frame 1 and near both sides. The fastener also includes a plurality of circumferentially arranged guide rods 11 that are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing groove 4. A spring 12 is fitted on the outside of the guide rods 11. An evenly arranged anti-reverse part 121 is fixedly connected to one side of the anti-reverse block 8. An evenly arranged clamping part 101 is fixedly connected to one side of the insertion plate 10. The clamping part 101 and the anti-reverse part 121 engage with each other. A limit plate 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the anti-reverse block 8 and near both ends. The limit plate 801 passes through the sliding frame 7 and is slidably connected to it. The two ends of the spring 12 are fixedly connected to the fixing groove 4 and the sliding frame 7, respectively. A plurality of evenly arranged elastic frames 18 are fixedly connected to the inside of the support frame 9. A spring piece 19 is fixedly connected to the inside of the elastic frame 18.
[0026] Among them, the limiting plate 801 passes through the sliding frame 7 to guide and prevent the anti-disengagement block 8. Multiple springs 12 can squeeze and push the sliding frame 7. The support frame 9 on one side of the sliding frame 7 squeezes and pushes the anti-disengagement block 8. The spring sheet 19 can support the elastic frame 18. Then, multiple elastic frames 18 support and expand the support frame 9 to increase the strength of the support frame 9.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting bar 16 can drive the sliding frame 7 to slide in the fixed groove 4 through the driving part 6 at one end of the multiple connecting rods 5, thereby improving the convenience and stability of disassembling and assembling the mold frame 1. The connecting rod 5 can drive the locking pin 14 to be inserted into the locking groove 15 on both sides of the mold frame 1. The locking pin 14 can prevent the mold frame 1 from moving upward. The positioning pin 17 at the top of the inclined top seat 3 is inserted into both sides of the mold frame 1 to accurately position the mold frame 1 and prevent the mold frame 1 from shifting left and right.
[0029] Working principle: First, the mold frame 1 is placed on the inclined top seat 3. The insertion plate 10 at the bottom of the mold frame 1 is inserted into the fixing groove 4. At this time, the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the mold frame 1. Then, the connecting strip 16 is slowly released. At this time, multiple springs 12 press and push the sliding frame 7. Then, the support frame 9 on one side of the sliding frame 7 presses and pushes the anti-reverse block 8. At the same time, the spring piece 19 supports the elastic frame 18. Then, multiple elastic frames 18 support and expand the support frame 9. Then, multiple anti-reverse parts 121 on one side of the anti-reverse block 8 are embedded in the clamping part 101 on one side of the insertion plate 10. At the same time, the multiple anti-reverse parts 121 lock and fix the mold frame 1 through the insertion plate 10.
