Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold production and processing equipment, and in particular to a device for rough grinding of mold surface. Background Technology
[0002] In the mold manufacturing industry, the rough grinding process on the mold surface is a crucial step in ensuring mold precision and the quality of subsequent finishing. Traditional mold surface grinding mainly relies on manual hand-held grinding wheels or simple mechanical devices, which has the following significant drawbacks: First, the degree of automation is low, requiring manual adjustment of the mold position and control of grinding pressure, resulting in low processing efficiency, poor consistency, and difficulty in meeting the needs of mass production; Second, the high temperature generated during grinding can easily cause local thermal deformation of the mold, affecting the final dimensional accuracy; Third, the debris formed by the mixture of dust and coolant easily accumulates in the grinding area, which not only aggravates the wear of the grinding disc but may also cause scratches on the mold surface; Fourth, replacing the grinding disc requires disassembling multiple fixed parts, which is time-consuming and affects equipment utilization.
[0003] While some automated grinding equipment has emerged in the existing technology, most employ linear motion mechanisms in a single direction, making it difficult to achieve precise positioning of complex curved surfaces of molds. Although some equipment is equipped with cooling systems, inadequate protective structure design results in insufficient coolant coverage of the grinding area, or poor chip removal leading to secondary contamination. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rough grinding device for mold surfaces that integrates high-precision positioning, synchronous cooling and chip removal, and rapid maintenance to solve the aforementioned technical problems.
