Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mold flipping technology, specifically relating to a mold moving device for mold manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of die-casting mold manufacturing, mold transfer is a crucial step in the production process. Based on the structural characteristics of die-casting molds and the requirements for safe lifting, their sidewalls are typically designed with standardized lifting eye holes. This design stems from two technical considerations: firstly, the die-casting mold body is mostly a split box-type structure, and the sidewalls, as the main load-bearing components, have higher structural strength, effectively dispersing the multi-directional stress concentration generated during lifting; secondly, side lifting allows the mold's center of gravity to pass through the lifting plane, significantly improving lifting stability. However, when the mold is lifted by a crane onto the transfer trolley, it must be kept vertical due to lifting posture restrictions, causing the mold's center of gravity to rise in the height direction, creating an unstable torque. Under this transport condition, the probability of the mold tipping over during handling is greatly increased. This is mainly due to uneven transport routes causing sudden and violent shaking of the mold, the swinging force generated when the vehicle turns, or the violent impact on the mold during sudden braking. These sudden external impacts can easily cause the vertically placed mold to lose its balance.

[0003] Current solutions mostly employ manual assisted tilting, using forklifts or hydraulic lifting platforms to adjust the mold to a horizontal position to lower its center of gravity. However, secondary lifting operations increase the risk of surface damage to the mold, especially causing irreversible damage to precision mating surfaces; the intervention of auxiliary equipment reduces transfer efficiency by more than 40% and increases additional equipment investment; manual operation poses safety hazards. Therefore, this utility model proposes a mold moving device for mold manufacturing, which can automatically complete 0-90° posture adjustment after the mold is hoisted into place; at the same time, it addresses the fixing requirements of molds of different specifications and solves the safety hazards and efficiency problems of traditional transfer methods.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] (1) This utility model can automatically complete the 0-90° posture adjustment after the mold is hoisted into place.

The base supports 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a flip seat 4 is rotatably connected between the base supports 3 on both sides. A driving mechanism is provided between the flip seat 4 and the base frame 1. A positioning groove 5 is opened on the inner side of the flip seat 4, and a locking component is installed on one side of the flip seat 4.

[0021] To ensure that the mold can be placed stably and positioned accurately, and to effectively prevent the mold from slipping during transportation, thereby improving the safety and stability of transportation, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the outer contour of the flipping seat 4 is composed of a combination of cylindrical and planar surfaces, the positioning groove 5 is set on the planar surface of the outer contour of the flipping seat 4, and the planar cross-section is a right angle structure, with an anti-slip pad layer fixed on the surface.

[0022] In order to achieve precise and stable adjustment of the tilting seat 4 and the mold posture, the tilting seat 4 is reliably driven to rotate around a specific connection point through a reasonable power transmission and torque amplification mechanism, so as to achieve the conversion of the mold from vertical to horizontal posture. In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor 6 and a half gear ring 7. The half gear ring 7 is fixed to the cylindrical surface of the outer contour of the tilting seat 4. The output end of the drive motor 6 is connected to a reduction gearbox 8. The output shaft of the reduction gearbox 8 is fixed with a gear 9. The gear 9 and the half gear ring 7 are meshed and connected. The body of the drive motor 6 and the housing of the reduction gearbox 8 are both fixed to the surface of the base frame 1.

[0023] In order to conveniently and flexibly adapt to different mold heights and reliably clamp the mold, effectively prevent the mold from shaking during transportation and ensure transportation safety, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the locking component includes a U-shaped frame 11 and a slide groove 12. The slide groove 12 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the flipping seat 4. The two ends of the U-shaped frame 11 are slidably connected to the flipping seat 4 through the slide groove 12. A nut seat 14 is slidably connected at the center of the U-shaped frame 11, and a hand-tightening screw 13 is threaded inside the nut seat 14.

[0024] In order to provide reasonable installation space for the semi-gear ring 7, ensure smooth rotational connection between the base 3 and the flip seat 4, not hinder the normal operation of the drive mechanism, and ensure that the overall structure is compact and the function is reliable, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a relief groove 15 is provided at the rotational connection between the base 3 on both sides and the flip seat 4, and the semi-gear ring 7 is placed inside the relief groove 15.

[0025] In order to facilitate the connection of external transportation equipment such as tractor vehicles, realize the overall convenient transportation of the device and mold, and improve the transfer efficiency, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a traction ring 10 is fixed to one end of the base frame 1 by bolts.

[0026] In summary, with the help of the above-described technical solution of this utility model,

[0027] Preparation stage for transfer: The four corners of the base frame 1 are equipped with swivel casters 2, which can flexibly move the device to the mold hoisting area. The casters are locked with brakes to ensure the device's stability during mold transfer. Symmetrically fixed base supports 3 on both sides of the top of the base frame 1 provide rotational support for the tilting seat 4. The outer contour of the tilting seat 4 is a combination of cylindrical and flat surfaces. Positioning grooves 5 on the flat surfaces are fixed with anti-slip pads to place the mold and prevent slippage during transfer. The right-angled structure of the positioning grooves 5 adapts to the shape of the die-casting mold, providing precise positioning.

[0028] Mold hoisting and positioning: The crane lifts the die-casting mold to above the positioning groove 5 of the tilting seat 4, and slowly lowers it so that the side wall of the mold contacts the plane of the positioning groove 5 and falls into it. At this time, the mold is stably placed on the tilting seat 4 and abuts against the plane side wall of the positioning groove 5, relying on the support of the positioning groove 5 and the friction of the anti-slip pad layer.

[0029] Mold Fixing: The mold is fixed using a locking assembly. First, flip the U-shaped frame 11 to the positioning groove 5. Then, slide both ends of the U-shaped frame 11 downwards within the sliding grooves 12 on both sides of the flipping seat 4. The position of the U-shaped frame 11 can be adjusted according to the height of the mold. Position the U-shaped frame 11 in the middle of the mold. After adjusting it into place, turn the hand screw 13 to rotate it within the nut seat 14 until the mold is clamped, preventing the mold from shaking during transportation.

[0030] Posture adjustment process: The drive mechanism starts, the drive motor 6 runs, and the power at its output end is amplified by the reduction gearbox 8 before being transmitted to the gear 9, which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction gearbox 8. The gear 9 meshes with the half gear ring 7 fixed on the cylindrical surface of the tilting seat 4. When the drive motor 6 rotates forward, the gear 9 drives the half gear ring 7, which in turn drives the tilting seat 4 to rotate around the rotating connection of the base 3, realizing the adjustment of the mold from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture of 0-90°, lowering the center of gravity of the mold. By controlling the rotation angle of the drive motor 6, the tilting angle of the tilting seat 4 and the mold can be precisely controlled.

[0031] Transportation: The traction ring 10 on the side wall of the base 3 can be connected to a tractor or other equipment to achieve overall transportation of the device and mold. During transportation, the swivel casters 2 with brakes ensure that the device can turn flexibly and pass smoothly over uneven roads.

[0032] Upon arrival at the destination: Once the transport mold reaches the designated location, if it needs to be unloaded, reverse the drive mechanism. The drive motor 6 will reverse, causing the tilting seat 4 to rotate the mold back to a vertical position. Release the locking assembly, and the crane will lift the mold away from the tilting seat 4, completing the entire mold transfer process.
