Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of football mold technology, and in particular to a mold for football production. Background Technology
[0002] The ball is round and made of leather or other suitable materials. It is usually made of 12 black pentagonal pieces of fabric and 20 hexagonal pieces of fabric. In the soccer ball inflation molding stage, the balloon needs to be placed into a special mold to inflate the ball and make the air bag fit tightly against the ball. In this way, the basic shape of a soccer ball is formed.
[0003] When using existing soccer ball production molds, the inflated ball becomes tightly fitted to the inner wall of the mold due to material expansion, increasing the difficulty of demolding. At the same time, the mold structure is not equipped with an auxiliary demolding device, and operators have to rely on manual prying to remove the parts, which not only affects production efficiency but also poses a risk of scratching the product surface. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that the ball is not easy to remove after being inflated and formed. To this end, we propose a mold for producing footballs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a mold for producing footballs, including a base, guide pillars fixed on both sides of the top of the base, a top seat fixed on the top of the guide pillars, a hydraulic push rod installed on the top of the top seat, a movable mounting seat provided at the bottom of the top seat, both ends of the movable mounting seat being slidably connected to the guide pillars, a first mounting plate installed at the bottom of the movable mounting seat, an upper mold installed at the bottom of the first mounting plate, a second mounting plate installed on the top of the base, and a lower mold installed on the top of the second mounting plate;
[0006] An ejection mechanism is provided at the bottom of the lower mold. The ejection mechanism includes a first through groove at the bottom of the lower mold, an ejection block installed inside the first through groove, a connecting column fixed at the bottom of the ejection block, a transmission block fixed at the bottom of the connecting column, a second through groove extending from the front end of the base to the rear end of the base, a movable block slidably connected inside the second through groove, a beveled groove for cooperating with the transmission block on the top of the movable block, connecting blocks fixed at both ends of the movable block, a limit block fixed at the end of the connecting block away from the movable block, a first mounting groove at the end of the limit block away from the connecting block, and a control handle installed inside the first mounting groove.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the ejector block is provided with an arc-shaped groove.
[0008] Preferably, the control handle has an arc surface on the side near the limiting block.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the transmission block is provided with a second mounting groove, and the interior of the second mounting groove is rotatably connected to a first roller via a rotating shaft.
[0010] Preferably, a third mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the second through groove, and a plurality of second rollers are rotatably connected inside the third mounting groove via a rotating shaft.
[0011] Preferably, both ends of the second through groove are equipped with limiting plates that cooperate with the limiting block, and the distance between the two sides of the limiting plate and the limiting block and the movable block is equal.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, after the soccer ball is inflated and formed, the connecting block moves the movable block by controlling the handle. The movement of the movable block causes the inclined groove to squeeze the transmission block. The squeezing causes the transmission block to move the connecting column upward, thereby causing the ejector block to push the formed soccer ball upward, so that the soccer ball is separated from the inside of the lower mold, making it easier for workers to pick up. This improves the overall work efficiency and avoids scratches, ensuring that the appearance of the product is not damaged. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a mold for producing footballs, including a base 1, guide pillars 2 fixed on both sides of the top of the base 1, a top seat 3 fixed on the top of the guide pillars 2, a hydraulic push rod 4 installed on the top of the top seat 3, a movable mounting seat 5 provided at the bottom of the top seat 3, both ends of the movable mounting seat 5 being slidably connected to the guide pillars 2, a first mounting plate 6 installed at the bottom of the movable mounting seat 5, an upper mold 7 installed at the bottom of the first mounting plate 6, a second mounting plate 8 installed on the top of the base 1, and a lower mold 9 installed on the top of the second mounting plate 8;
[0022] An ejection mechanism is provided at the bottom of the lower mold 9. The ejection mechanism includes a first through groove 10 at the bottom of the lower mold 9, an ejection block 11 installed inside the first through groove 10, a connecting post 12 fixed to the bottom of the ejection block 11, a transmission block 13 fixed to the bottom of the connecting post 12, a second through groove 15 extending from the front end of the base 1 to the rear end of the base 1, a movable block 16 slidably connected inside the second through groove 15, a beveled groove 17 on the top of the movable block 16 that cooperates with the transmission block 13, connecting blocks 18 fixed at both ends of the movable block 16, a limit block 19 fixed at the end of the connecting block 18 away from the movable block 16, a first mounting groove 20 at the end of the limit block 19 away from the connecting block 18, and a control handle 21 installed inside the first mounting groove 20. When the soccer ball is inflated and formed... Then, by controlling the control handle 21, the connecting block 18 drives the movable block 16 to move. The movement of the movable block 16 causes the inclined groove 17 to squeeze the transmission block 13. The squeezing causes the transmission block 13 to drive the connecting column 12 to move upward, thereby causing the ejector block 11 to push the molded soccer ball upward, so that the soccer ball is separated from the interior of the lower mold 9 for easy removal by the staff. After removing the soccer ball, the movement of the movable block 16 is controlled so that the bottom of the transmission block 13 moves to the bottom of the inclined groove 17. By gravity, the ejector block 11 falls into the interior of the first through groove 10 to inflate the next soccer ball. The ejection mechanism allows the soccer ball to be demolded quickly after expansion, improving the overall work efficiency and avoiding scratches to ensure that the appearance of the product is not damaged.
[0023] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: the top of the ejector block 11 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 14. By providing the arc-shaped groove 14, the top of the ejector block 11 has the same curvature as the sphere, thereby preventing the sphere from being squeezed during inflation molding.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the control handle 21 is provided with an arc surface 22 on the side near the limit block 19. By setting the arc surface 22, the sharp edges of the gripping part of the control handle 21 are reduced, so that the user can use it better.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: a second mounting groove 23 is provided at the bottom of the transmission block 13. A first roller 24 is rotatably connected inside the second mounting groove 23 via a rotating shaft. By setting the first roller 24, the friction between the bottom of the transmission block 13 and the inside of the inclined groove 17 is reduced, so that the user can more easily use the inclined groove 17 and the transmission block 13 to make the transmission block 13 drive the connecting column 12 to move upward.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: a third mounting groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the second through groove 15. Several second rollers 26 are rotatably connected inside the third mounting groove 25 through a rotating shaft. By setting the second rollers 26, the friction between the bottom of the movable block 16 and the bottom of the second through groove 15 is reduced, so as to facilitate the movement of the movable block 16.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: both ends of the second through groove 15 are equipped with limiting plates 27 that cooperate with the limiting block 19. The distance between the two sides of the limiting plate 27 and the limiting block 19 and the movable block 16 is equal. By setting the limiting plate 27, the movable block 16 is limited. By controlling the distance between the two sides of the limiting plate 27 and the limiting block 19 and the movable block 16, the transmission block 13 will not slip off the top of the movable block 16 when it moves to the top of the movable block 16, and the movable block 16 will also be prevented from moving out of the second through groove 15.
[0028] Working principle: After the soccer ball is inflated and formed, the connecting block 18 moves the movable block 16 via the control handle 21. The movement of the movable block 16 causes the inclined groove 17 to press against the transmission block 13. This pressing causes the transmission block 13 to move the connecting column 12 upwards. The first roller 24 reduces the friction between the bottom of the transmission block 13 and the inside of the inclined groove 17, making it easier for the user to use the interaction between the inclined groove 17 and the transmission block 13 to move the transmission block 13 upwards, causing the ejector block 11 to push the formed soccer ball upwards, thus detaching the soccer ball from the lower mold 9 for easy removal by the operator. The arc-shaped groove 14 ensures that the top of the ejector block 11 has the same curvature as the ball, thus preventing the ball from being squeezed during inflation. After the soccer ball is removed, the movement of the movable block 16 is controlled, causing the bottom of the transmission block 13 to move to the bottom of the inclined groove 17. Gravity causes the ejector block 11 to fall into the first through groove 10 for the inflation of the next soccer ball. The limiting plate 27 serves as a limit for the movable block 16. By controlling the distance between the two sides of the limiting plate 27 and the limiting block 19 and the movable block 16, the transmission block 13 will not slip off the top of the movable block 16 when it moves to the top of the movable block 16, and the movable block 16 will also be prevented from moving out of the second through groove 15.
