[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-7One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0027] A silicone product mold cooling device, comprising:
[0028] The main body includes an air-cooled chiller body 1. Side plates 11 are mounted on the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. A water pump 12, a water tank 13, and a condenser 16 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. A fan 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. A water outlet 14 and a water inlet 15 are provided on one side of the air-cooled chiller body 1, and a control panel 18 is provided on the other side. A cooling device is required during the production of silicone product molds. The water pump 12 draws water from the water tank 13 and sends it through the water outlet 14 into the cooling channel of the silicone product mold. The heat in the water is absorbed, causing the water temperature to rise. The heated water flows back to the evaporator inside the air-cooled chiller body 1 through the water inlet 15. The refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator, absorbing heat from the water and lowering the water temperature. Then, the condenser 16 exchanges heat with the air through the fan 17, releasing the heat of the refrigerant into the air. The refrigerant condenses into liquid and re-enters the evaporator for circulation. This allows the air-cooled chiller body 1 to continuously provide cooling water to the silicone mold, ensuring a suitable mold temperature, improving production efficiency and product quality. The cooling technology is existing and will not be elaborated on here.
[0029] The connecting mechanism includes an installation chamber 2, which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. A support spring 21 and a partition 22 are movably connected to the inner surface of the installation chamber 2. A protrusion 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the partition 22. A through hole 24 is opened on the surface of the side plate 11. A pull plate 25 is abutted to the surface of the side plate 11. A baffle 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pull plate 25. An installation hole 27 is opened on the surface of the installation chamber 2. A locking hole 28 is opened on the surface of the pull plate 25. Under the action of the installation chamber 2, the support spring 21, the partition 22 and the protrusion 23 can be installed, and they abut against the side plate 11 when it is installed.
[0030] Furthermore, there are two sets of mounting chambers 2 and through holes 24. The two sets of mounting chambers 2 are installed on both sides of the air-cooled chiller body 1, and the two sets of through holes 24 are opened on both sides of the side plate 11. Each set of mounting chambers 2 and through holes 24 consists of two parts. Each set of mounting chambers 2 and through holes 24 is set on both sides of the pull plate 25. The surface of the pull plate 25 is U-shaped. Under the action of the through holes 24, the pull plate 25 can be installed and slidably connected. By pulling the pull plate 25, the insertion effect between the protrusion 23 and the locking hole 28 can be achieved. When the pull plate 25 is installed, its two ends are attached to the outer surface of the mounting chamber 2, while the middle part is against the surface of the side plate 11.
[0031] Furthermore, one end of the support spring 21 is abutted and connected to the inner surface of the mounting chamber 2, and the other end of the support spring 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the partition 22. The partition 22 is abutted and connected to the inner surface of the mounting chamber 2. Under the action of the support spring 21, a supporting force can be applied to the surface of the partition 22 and make it always tend to move towards the mounting hole 27. The movement limit of the protrusion 23 can be achieved through the partition 22.
[0032] Furthermore, the protrusion 23 is inserted and connected to the surface of the mounting hole 27 and the locking hole 28. One side of the protrusion 23 is cylindrical and the other side is hemispherical. Two sets of baffles 26 and locking holes 28 are provided. The two sets of baffles 26 and locking holes 28 are located at both ends of the pull plate 25. The diameter of the mounting hole 27 and the diameter of the locking hole 28 are the same. With the insertion of the protrusion 23 and the mounting hole 27 and locking hole 28, the pull plate 25 can be limited and fixed on the surface of the mounting chamber 2. Then, the side plate 11 can be limited and installed on the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. The hemispherical side of the protrusion 23 can make its insertion and locking with the locking hole 28 smoother. Under the action of the baffle 26, the pull plate 25 can be limited and moved on the surface of the through hole 24 and kept connected to the side plate 11. The installation effect of the protrusion 23 can be achieved through the mounting hole 27 and the locking hole 28.
[0033] Furthermore, a protective mechanism is provided on the surface of the control panel 18, including a protective plate 3. The protective plate 3 is installed on the surface of the control panel 18. A fixing block 31 and a spring sheet 34 are fixedly connected to the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1. A rotating block 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective plate 3. A rotating hole 33 is opened on the surface of the fixing block 31. A connecting hole 35 is opened on the surface of the protective plate 3. The size of the protective plate 3 is larger than that of the control panel 18 and it is made of a transparent material, so that the protective plate 3 can protect the control panel 18 while allowing the staff to observe the data on its surface normally.
[0034] Furthermore, the protective plate 3 has a "U" shaped cross section. Two sets of fixing blocks 31 and rotating blocks 32 are provided. The two sets of fixing blocks 31 and rotating blocks 32 are installed on both sides of the protective plate 3. The rotating blocks 32 are rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating holes 33. The cross section of the rotating blocks 32 is "T" shaped. The diameter of the rotating holes 33 is the same as the inner diameter of the rotating blocks 32. The two sides of the protective plate 3 are slidably connected to the surface of the fixing blocks 31. With the connection of the rotating blocks 32 and the rotating holes 33, the protective plate 3 and the fixing blocks 31 can be connected, and the protective plate 3 can rotate around the rotating blocks 32 as the center. The rotating blocks 32 are fixed on the side of the protective plate 3 and rotate on the surface of the rotating holes 33, while sliding on the side of the fixing blocks 31. The diameter of the rotating blocks 32 is larger than the diameter of the rotating holes 33.
[0035] Furthermore, one side of the spring plate 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1, and the other side of the spring plate 34 is engaged with the surface of the connecting hole 35. With the connection between the spring plate 34 and the connecting hole 35, the protective plate 3 can be limited and fixed to the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1 and rotated to limit its movement.
[0036] Working principle: When inspecting the air-cooled chiller body 1, first pull the two pull plates 25 on both sides of the side plate 11 so that they slide on the surface of the through hole 24 and the mounting chamber 2, so as to squeeze the protrusion 23 and cancel the insertion and engagement with the locking hole 28, so that the protrusion 23 moves into the mounting chamber 2 through the mounting hole 27, and drives the partition 22 to slide on the inner surface of the mounting chamber 2, while the support spring 21 is in a compressed state. When the baffles 26 at both ends of the pull plate 25 abut against the side plate 11, the protrusion 23 returns to its original state under the supporting force applied by the support spring 21. Then, the two pull plates 25 can be pulled to remove the side plate 11 from the air-cooled chiller body 1, and the inner side of the air-cooled chiller body 1 is exposed, so that the staff can carry out maintenance.
[0037] When the operator is not operating the control panel 18, the protective plate 3 is first moved so that it rotates towards the control panel 18 with the rotating block 32 as the center. The rotating block 32 rotates on the surface of the rotating hole 33, and the spring plate 34 is bent to produce elastic deformation. When the protective plate 3 is against the surface of the air-cooled chiller body 1 and covers the control panel 18, the spring plate 34 is released to return to its original state and lock into the connecting hole 35, so as to complete the limiting installation of the protective plate 3. Thus, when the operator is not operating the control panel 18, the protective plate 3 can protect it and prevent accidental contact.
[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
