Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molding die technology, specifically a hot pressing mold for glass fiber molding compound products. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional thermoforming processes for glass fiber molding compounds (such as SMC / BMC), the adaptability of molds is significantly limited. A single mold structure can only produce products of fixed sizes, and its cavity dimensions and structural design are deeply bound to the geometry of a specific product. When it is necessary to switch to products of different specifications or structures, the entire mold set must be replaced to adapt to the molding requirements of the new product. This rigid design not only leads to a surge in mold inventory but also significantly increases the company's fixed asset investment costs.

[0003] Furthermore, frequent mold changes severely restrict production efficiency. Production lines need to be shut down to disassemble existing molds and reinstall and debug new ones, resulting in long changeover cycles and cumbersome procedures, leading to production disruptions and idle resources. For customized production scenarios with multiple varieties and small batches, the lack of versatility of traditional molds further exacerbates the pressure on manufacturing costs and delivery cycles, making it difficult to meet the core demands of modern manufacturing for flexible production. To address this, we propose a thermoforming mold for glass fiber molding compound products. Utility Model Content

[0024] The working principle of the thermoforming mold for glass fiber molding compound products provided by this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to produce products of different specifications, firstly, the lower die 3 matching the product size is placed in the mounting box 2. Then, the two clamping rods 94 are pulled away from the clamping holes in the middle of the connecting block 91 to remove the connecting block 91. Then, the protrusion 93 that matches the lower die 3 is replaced. After the replacement is completed, the first motor 41 of the fixing component 4 is started to drive the bidirectional screw 43 to rotate, so that the clamping frames 42 on both sides move inward synchronously along the limiting rod 44 to initially clamp the lower die 3. Then, the electric telescopic rod 51 of the fastening component 5 is started to push the fastening... Plate 52 further locks the lower die 3 to ensure its stable positioning. Then, the preheated glass fiber molding compound is placed into the cavity of the lower die 3. The hydraulic rod 82 of the pressing assembly 8 drives the connecting box 83 to press down, causing the protrusion 93 of the upper punch assembly 9 to close with the lower die 3 for pressing. After pressing, the water pump 63 pumps the coolant in the water tank 62 into the cooling pipe 61 through the outlet pipe 64. The cooling pipe 61 is embedded in the periphery of the cavity of the mounting box 2 to evenly absorb the heat of the mold. The heated coolant returns to the water tank 62 through the return pipe 65. At this time, the semiconductor cooling chip 71 of the cooling assembly 7 cools the coolant in real time with the assistance of the cooling fan 73. Figure 2 Temperature sensor 66 monitors the coolant temperature and feeds it back to the PLC controller to dynamically adjust the cooling intensity. After cooling is complete, hydraulic rod 82 retracts and lifts the upper punch assembly 9, allowing the product to be removed.

[0025] It is worth noting that the external PLC controller disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically a Siemens S7-200. The first motor 41, electric telescopic rod 51, water pump 63, semiconductor cooling chip 71, cooling fan 73, hydraulic rod 82 and temperature sensor 66 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The external PLC controller controls the operation of the first motor 41, electric telescopic rod 51, water pump 63, semiconductor cooling chip 71, cooling fan 73 and hydraulic rod 82 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
