Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold heating technology, specifically a mold heating device for rapid prototyping. Background Technology

[0002] A mold is a fixed tool, structure, or frame used to shape ductile raw materials. It can be divided into concave or convex shapes. It is mainly used to replicate a given design and produce identical replicas. It is widely used in many fields such as manufacturing automotive parts, consumer goods, packaging, jewelry, and medical devices.

[0003] A mold heating device, disclosed in announcement number CN216324541U, heats the mold by means of a heating plate and an insulation plate, enabling the mold to heat the material, and monitors the heat inside the mold by means of a temperature sensor.

[0004] The mold heating device heats the mold with a heating plate. After the material inside the mold is formed, the staff needs to manually remove the formed material from the lower mold. Since the product may have a certain adsorption force on the inner wall of the mold during the forming process, it is difficult for the staff to manually remove the material. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold heating device for rapid prototyping, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mold heating device for rapid prototyping, comprising a support column, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the support column, a lower mold fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, a pressing and discharging mechanism provided on the outside of the fixed frame, and a heating mechanism provided at the bottom back end of the fixed frame.

[0007] The pressing and discharging mechanism includes a pressing component and a discharging component. The pressing component is disposed at the top back end of the fixed frame, and the discharging component is disposed at the bottom of the fixed frame.

[0008] The pressing assembly includes a support frame, which is fixedly connected to the top back end of a fixed frame. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a lifting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder, an upper mold is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate, and a slide bar is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate.

[0009] Preferably, there are two slide bars, which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the lifting plate, respectively. The slide bars can limit the movement of the lifting plate, making the lifting plate more stable during the lifting process.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the support frame is provided with a rectangular groove corresponding to the position of the slide bar, and the slide bar is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove. Through the rectangular groove, the slide bar can slide inside the support frame, so that when the lifting plate moves, it can drive the slide bar to move.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the top of the motor, and the top of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower mold. A threaded plate is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded rod, and a limit strip is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded plate. A sealing top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the limit strip.

[0012] Preferably, there are four limiting strips, which are fixedly connected to the top of the threaded plate. The limiting strips can limit the movement of the threaded plate, making it more stable during the lifting and lowering process.

[0013] Preferably, the lower mold has a rectangular groove inside that corresponds to the movement trajectory of the limiting strip, and the limiting strip is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove. Through the rectangular groove, the limiting strip can slide inside the lower mold, and the limiting strip can drive the sealing top plate to move upward, thus ejecting the formed material.

[0014] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a material box, which is fixedly connected to the bottom back end of the fixing frame. A water level pipe is fixedly connected to the back end of the material box. A threaded material pipe is fixedly connected to the top left side of the material box.

[0015] Preferably, the lower mold has a placement groove corresponding to the position of the heating tube, and the heating tube is fixedly connected inside the placement groove. The placement groove allows the heating tube to be installed inside the lower mold, and the lower mold can be heated by the hot oil inside the heating tube.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mold heating device for rapid prototyping, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This mold heating device for rapid prototyping can precisely control the lifting of the lifting plate through the set cylinder, thereby driving the upper mold to quickly and stably close or open with the lower mold, improving the efficiency of the molding operation and saving a lot of time and labor costs compared with traditional manual operation.

[0018] The ejection assembly makes it easier to eject the molded product. The motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn lifts the threaded plate, the upper limit strip, and the sealing top plate, smoothly pushing the molded product out of the mold. This eliminates the need for manual labor to remove the product, reducing the risk of damage to the molded product and improving production continuity.

[0019] 2. This mold heating device for rapid prototyping uses heat transfer oil as the heating medium. Through the coordinated operation of components such as the material tank, water level pipe, threaded material pipe, sealing cap, heater, delivery pipe, water pump, heating pipe, and return water pipe, the heating temperature of the lower mold can be flexibly adjusted. The water level pipe allows for easy observation of the water level in the material tank, and the sealing cap maintains the sealing of the material tank when adding or replacing the heating medium. The circulating heating method ensures more uniform heating of the lower mold, avoiding local overheating or undercooling, effectively improving the quality of the molded product and reducing product defects caused by uneven temperature.

[0029] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mold heating device for rapid prototyping, including a support column 1, a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 1, a lower mold 5 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 2, a pressing and discharging mechanism 3 provided on the outside of the fixed frame 2, and a heating mechanism 4 provided at the bottom back end of the fixed frame 2.

[0032] The pressing and discharging mechanism 3 includes a pressing component 31 and a discharging component 32. The pressing component 31 is disposed at the top back end of the fixed frame 2, and the discharging component 32 is disposed at the bottom of the fixed frame 2.

[0033] The pressing component 31 includes a support frame 315, which is fixedly connected to the top back end of the fixed frame 2. A cylinder 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 315, a lifting plate 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 313, an upper mold 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 312, and a slide bar 314 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 312.

[0034] Furthermore, there are two slide bars 314, which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the lifting plate 312 respectively. The slide bars 314 can limit the movement of the lifting plate 312, making the lifting plate 312 more stable during the lifting process.

[0035] Furthermore, a rectangular groove corresponding to the position of the slide bar 314 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 315, and the slide bar 314 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove. Through the rectangular groove, the slide bar 314 can slide inside the support frame 315, so that when the lifting plate 312 moves, it can drive the slide bar 314 to move.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the discharge assembly 32 further includes a motor 324, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 2. A threaded rod 322 is fixedly connected to the top of the motor 324. The top of the threaded rod 322 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower mold 5. A threaded plate 323 is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded rod 322. A limit strip 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded plate 323. A sealing top plate 325 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit strip 321.

[0038] Furthermore, there are four limiting strips 321, which are fixedly connected to the top of the threaded plate 323. The limiting strips 321 can limit the threaded plate 323, making the threaded plate 323 more stable during the lifting and lowering process.

[0039] Furthermore, the lower mold 5 has a rectangular groove inside that corresponds to the movement trajectory of the limiting strip 321, and the limiting strip 321 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove. Through the rectangular groove, the limiting strip 321 can slide inside the lower mold 5, so that the limiting strip 321 can drive the sealing top plate 325 to move upward and eject the formed material.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the heating mechanism 4 further includes a material box 49, which is fixedly connected to the bottom back end of the fixing frame 2. A water level pipe 47 is fixedly connected to the back end of the material box 49. A threaded material pipe 45 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the material box 49. A sealing cap 44 is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded material pipe 45. A heater 46 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the material box 49. A conveying pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the material box 49. A water pump 48 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the conveying pipe 41. The water pump 48 is fixedly connected to the right side of the material box 49. A heating pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the front of the conveying pipe 41. A return water pipe 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom back end of the heating pipe 42. The return water pipe 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the material box 49.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower mold 5 has a placement groove inside that corresponds to the position of the heating tube 42, and the heating tube 42 is fixedly connected inside the placement groove. Through the placement groove, the heating tube 42 can be installed inside the lower mold 5, and the lower mold 5 can be heated by the hot oil inside the heating tube 42.

[0043] In actual operation, when this device is used, rotate the sealing cover 44 so that the sealing cover 44 can be away from the threaded material pipe 45, so that the operator can add heat transfer oil to the inside of the material box 49 through the threaded material pipe 45, place the mold material that needs to be heated into the lower mold 5, and heat the heat transfer oil inside the material box 49 through the heater 46. After the heat transfer oil is heated, turn on the water pump 48 so that the water pump 48 transfers the oil through the delivery pipe 41 to the inside of the heating pipe 42. The heating pipe 42 dissipates the heat inside the heat transfer oil to heat the material inside the lower mold 5. After the heat transfer oil is transferred, it is transferred to the inside of the material box 49 through the return water pipe 43 to continue heating.

[0044] After the material inside the lower mold 5 is heated, the cylinder 313 is opened, causing the cylinder 313 to move the upper mold 311 downwards via the lifting plate 312. This causes the upper mold 311 to extrude and form the material inside the lower mold 5. When it is necessary to remove the formed material, the motor 324 is turned on, causing the motor 324 to move the threaded plate 323 upwards via the threaded rod 322. This causes the threaded plate 323 to move the sealing top plate 325 upwards via the limiting strip 321, allowing the sealing top plate 325 to push out the formed material for easy removal by the staff.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
