Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing molds, and more specifically, to a 3D printing prototype mold with cooling channels. Background Technology
[0002] Prototype molds are tools or processes used in manufacturing to create prototype models. They are a crucial step in the product development phase, verifying designs and testing functions. Simply put, the core function of prototype molds is to quickly and cost-effectively produce a physical model (i.e., a prototype) that matches the final product design, providing a basis for the development of subsequent mass production molds.
[0003] Existing prototype molds lack automatic oiling capabilities for their internal cavities. Therefore, to prevent deformation during demolding due to excessive friction, operators must manually oil the mold cavities, reducing work efficiency. Solving these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 A 3D printed prototype mold with cooling channels includes a support base 1, a worktable 2 and a prototype mold body 3. The worktable 2 is disposed above the support base 1, and the prototype mold body 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 2. A cooling chamber and a cooling channel are fixedly connected to the surface of the prototype mold body 3. An anti-sticking component 4 is disposed on the surface of the support base 1, and a reciprocating component 5 is disposed on the top of the support base 1.
[0030] The anti-adhesion assembly 4 includes an oil tank 401, a housing 402, a pipe 403, a movable rod 404, a sealing gasket 405, an inner groove 406, a connection port 407, and an oil port 408. The oil tank 401 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1. A one-way valve pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the oil tank 401. The housing 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the oil tank 401. The pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 402 and communicates with the housing 402. The end of the pipe 403 away from the housing 402 passes through the top of the oil tank 401 and extends into the inner part of the oil tank 401. At the bottom of the oil tank 401, the lubricating oil inside can be transported to the interior of the housing 402 through the pipe 403. The movable rod 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 2. The bottom end of the movable rod 404 passes through the top end of the housing 402 and extends into the interior of the housing 402. The movable rod 404 is slidably connected to the housing 402. Under the pull of the workbench 2, the movable rod 404 slides inside the housing 402. The sealing gasket 405 is installed inside the housing 402. The one-way valve pipe located at the top of the oil tank 401 only rises when the sealing gasket 405 is inside the housing 402. When the valve is opened, the sealing gasket 405 is raised inside the housing 402, allowing outside air to enter the oil tank 401 through the opened one-way valve pipe, maintaining the air pressure inside the oil tank 401. One end of the movable rod 404 extending into the housing 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing gasket 405. The sealing gasket 405 is slidably connected to the housing 402. When the movable rod 404 moves, it can pull the sealing gasket 405 to move inside the housing 402. An inner groove 406 is formed inside the sealing gasket 405, and a one-way valve is installed inside the inner groove 406. The one-way valve located inside the inner groove 406 opens only when the sealing gasket 405 descends inside the outer casing 402. The connection port 407 is located inside the workbench 2, and the oil port 408 is located inside the prototype mold body 3. The inner groove 406 passes through the sealing gasket 405 and the movable rod 404, and is connected to the connection port 407 and the oil port 408 respectively. When the one-way valve is opened, the lubricating oil inside the outer casing 402 will be transported to the surface of the prototype mold body 3 through the inner groove 406, the connection port 407 and the oil port 408, and the surface of the prototype mold body 3 will be coated with oil.
[0031] By pressing down on the worktable 2, the movable rod 404 pushes the sealing gasket 405 to move inside the housing 402. This allows the lubricating oil inside the housing 402 to be delivered to the surface of the prototype mold through the inner groove 406, the connection port 407, and the oil port 408 under air pressure, thus completing the oiling operation. The operation is simple and convenient, and it solves the problem that existing prototype molds require manual oiling by workers, which leads to a decrease in work efficiency.
[0032] The reciprocating assembly 5 includes a motor 501, a rotating shaft 502, a cam 503, a connecting plate 504, and a slide rod 505. The motor 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the oil tank 401. The rotating shaft 502 is installed at the output end of the motor 501. The cam 503 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 502 away from the motor 501. A slide rail is provided on the surface of the support base 1. The cam 503 is slidably connected to the arc track. When the motor 501 drives the cam 503 to rotate through the rotating shaft 502, the cam 503 will move inside the arc track. The connecting plate 504... 04 is installed on the surface of cam 503. The two sides of the connecting plate 504 are rotatably connected to the worktable 2 and cam 503 respectively. When cam 503 rotates, it will drive the worktable 2 to reciprocate through the connecting plate 504. The slide rod 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. The slide rod 505 passes through the worktable 2 and extends to the top of the worktable 2. The slide rod 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the worktable 2 through which it passes. The worktable 2 will move on the surface of the slide rod 505. At the same time, the slide rod 505 will ensure the stability of the worktable 2 during the movement.
[0033] When the worktable 2 moves, it slides on the surface of the slide bar 505. The slide bar 505 ensures the stability of the worktable 2 during movement. Furthermore, the cam 503 and the connecting plate 504 ensure that the range of movement of the worktable 2 is fixed, thereby keeping the output of lubricating oil within a suitable range. This avoids problems such as lubricating oil overflow, which would lead to lubricating oil waste, or insufficient oil, which would lead to poor lubrication.
[0034] The working principle of this 3D printed prototype mold with cooling channels is as follows: When it is necessary to inject oil into the inside of the prototype mold, the motor 501 is operated by controlling the motor 501 to rotate the cam 503 through the rotating shaft 502. The cam 503 drives the worktable 2 to move vertically back and forth through the connecting plate 504. At this time, the worktable 2 will pull the movable rod 404 to drive the sealing gasket 405 to move back and forth inside the outer shell 402. Under the action of air pressure, the lubricating oil inside the outer shell 402 is delivered to the surface of the prototype mold through the inner groove 406, the connecting port 407 and the oil port 408, thereby completing the oiling operation on the surface of the prototype mold.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
