Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot rotational molding technology, specifically to an electrically heated rotational molding mold with fully automatic opening and closing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Rotational molding is widely used in the manufacture of products such as water tanks, children's amusement facilities, and kayaks due to its advantages such as the ability to produce large hollow plastic products, low mold costs, and seamless products. However, existing electrically heated rotational molding molds heat the air in the heating chamber by burning natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. The heated air is then circulated in a certain way by a hot air circulation fan to ensure that the air in the entire heating chamber is hot. The mold, which is moved into the heating chamber, gradually increases its temperature until it reaches the required temperature by absorbing the hot air. This heating method has the problems of low energy utilization and low production efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, existing technology (Chinese patent announcement number CN216658637U, announcement date 2022-06-03) provides an electrically heated rotational molding die. This die, through the installation and arrangement of electric heating wires, achieves uniform heating of different parts of the rotational molding die, quickly and accurately reaching the heating temperature, ensuring stable heating, and thus improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] The above solution relies on manual operation using simple machinery and fastening bolts to complete the mold opening and closing operations, resulting in low processing efficiency. In addition, errors in manual operation can lead to incomplete mold closure, material leakage, and waste of raw materials and increased product defect rate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic electric heating rotational molding die for opening and closing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The existing electric heating rotational molding dies rely on manual use of simple machinery to assist in the opening and closing of the die with fastening bolts, which results in low processing efficiency. At the same time, errors in manual operation can lead to incomplete die closure, material leakage, and waste of raw materials and increased product defect rate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electrically heated rotational molding mold with fully automatic opening and closing, comprising a base frame, a mold body mounted on the top of the base frame, the right side of the mold body connected to a vertical frame, the vertical frame mounted on the top right side of the base frame, a top frame mounted on the top of the vertical frame, and a support frame for stabilizing the mold body provided in the middle of the top surface of the base frame.

[0007] A heating wire is installed in the inner wall of the mold body. A matching end cap is provided on the left side of the mold body. The end cap is clamped and fixed on the clamping seat. The clamping seat is rotatably connected to the top left side of the top frame through a rotating shaft. An opening is provided in the middle of the end cap. A telescopic structure is provided in the middle of the outer side of the clamping seat. The telescopic structure drives the plug to seal the opening.

[0008] Preferably, the mold body is configured as a cylindrical structure, and the left end cap of the mold body is configured as a hemispherical structure.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is installed on the rear left side of the top frame, the output end of the motor is connected to a gear ring, the gear ring is fixed to the top of the clamping seat, and the outer side of the gear ring is meshed with a first sector gear, which is fixed to the rear left side of the top frame.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping seat drives the end cover to form a rotating structure through the toothed ring and the first sector gear, and the end cover forms an automatic opening and closing mold structure between the clamping seat and the mold body.

[0011] Preferably, a positioning frame is provided at the left end of the base frame. The positioning frame is divided into upper and lower parts, which are fixedly connected to the base frame and the top frame, respectively. Pneumatic clamps are symmetrically installed on the positioning frame, and clamping plates are fixed at the ends of the pneumatic clamps. After the mold is closed, the clamping plates assist in closing the joint between the end cap and the mold body.

[0012] Preferably, the telescopic structure includes a connecting frame installed on the outside of the clamping seat, a first connecting rod symmetrically rotatably connected to the connecting frame, the top of the first connecting rod rotatably connected to the connecting frame, a second connecting rod symmetrically rotatably connected to the connecting frame, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod being distributed in a "V" shape, and two sets of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod being provided, the top of each set being connected to the connecting frame through a second sector gear that meshes with each other.

[0013] Preferably, a cylinder is provided on the outer side of the second connecting rod, the cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer second connecting rod, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner first connecting rod, and plugs are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two second connecting rods.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This fully automatic opening and closing electric heating rotational molding mold uses a motor-driven mechanical structure to open and close the end caps during use, thus completing the fully automatic mold closing operation. It is convenient, fast, and improves processing efficiency. The heating wires inside the mold can provide uniform heating, ensuring that the model is heated evenly. The telescopic mechanism drives the plug to seal the hole, resulting in high overall mold processing quality.

[0016] Furthermore, the base frame provides support for the mold body, the upright frame positions and fixes the mold body, and the outer side of the upright frame is equipped with a drive component to drive the mold body to rotate. The support frame between the top frame and the base frame can strengthen the support of the middle part of the mold body to maintain the stability of the mold body. The heating wire inside the mold body can make the heat evenly distributed and improve the quality of processing and molding. The clamping seat drives the end cap to rotate through the rotating shaft. When unfolded, it is convenient to add material. When closed, it can be used for mold closing and rotational molding of the product. The telescopic mechanism drives the end cap to move, thereby sealing the opening on the end cap.

[0017] Furthermore, after the motor starts, it drives the gear ring to rotate. After the gear ring rotates, it moves along the outside of the first sector gear, which in turn drives the clamping seat to rotate around the shaft. After the clamping seat rotates, the end cover and the mold body will close, forming a complete mold cavity and completing the automatic mold closing operation. When opening the mold later, the motor drives the gear ring to rotate in reverse, and then the mold opening operation can be performed. This makes the mold opening and closing operation convenient and fast, which can improve processing efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, after the cylinder is started, the output end of the cylinder will be extended, which will cause the outer second connecting rod to rotate inward, thereby reducing the included angle between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. The second sector gear will rotate relative to each other, so that the two sets of first connecting rods and second connecting rods open and close synchronously, thereby driving the plug to be inserted into the opening in the end cover, sealing the opening, so that the mold body and the inside of the end cover form a sealed mold cavity, which is convenient for rotational molding.
