Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to molds, specifically to a mold changing trolley. Background Technology
[0002] When changing molds in injection molding machines, the disassembled molds need to be temporarily placed or transported to a designated location. This process is usually done directly by forklifts, but transporting molds by forklifts carries certain risks. In addition, due to the limited number of forklifts, the demand cannot be met when operating at high capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to improve upon the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application aims to address the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0004] This utility model discloses a mold changing trolley, comprising:
[0005] Frame;
[0006] The rolling element is provided in two sets, and the two sets of rolling elements are respectively provided on both sides of the frame. The mold can roll along the length direction of the frame, and a support rod is provided between the two rolling elements.
[0007] The limiting component is provided in two sets, and the two sets of the limiting component are respectively provided at both ends of the rolling component, and the mold is located between the two rolling components;
[0008] The positioning pin is located on the frame and can be inserted into the positioning hole at the bottom of the mold. This utility model facilitates the picking, placing and limiting of the mold by setting rolling parts, limiting parts and positioning pin. The switching trolley can be used with forklifts, overhead cranes or manpower, providing a tool for the temporary placement and transportation of the mold. The mold has the advantages of simple structure and high practicality.
[0009] In one specific embodiment, the rolling element includes a mounting frame fixed to the vehicle frame, a shaft rotatably connected to the mounting frame, a roller fixed on the shaft, and the upper end face of the roller extending beyond the upper end face of the mounting frame. Through the rolling friction between the mold and the roller, the mold can be easily picked up and put down, which is simple and practical.
[0010] In one specific embodiment, the mounting frame has an insertion hole on its side, and the limiting member has a pin that mates with the insertion hole. The limiting member includes a limiting block and a limiting post at the end of the limiting block. The limiting post abuts against the side of the mold. By changing different insertion holes, molds of different specifications can be limited, which is highly flexible.
[0011] In one specific embodiment, a traction component is fixed to the front end of the vehicle frame. The traction component is connected to an external power unit, which is convenient to use and has a wide range of applications.
[0012] In one specific embodiment, a toolbox is fixed on the frame. The toolbox is used to store disassembly tools and parts of molds, and is easy to operate and has a simple structure.
[0013] In one specific embodiment, the bottom of the frame is provided with a forklift latch, through which the forklift's fork arms can pass for easy forklift to pick up.
[0014] Beneficial effects: This utility model facilitates the picking, placing, and positioning of molds by setting rolling parts, limiting parts, and positioning pins. The switching trolley can be used with forklifts, overhead cranes, or manually, providing a tool for the temporary placement and transportation of molds. The mold has the advantages of simple structure and high practicality. Attached Figure Description
