[0029] 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.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3One embodiment of this utility model provides a quick mold changing connection mechanism for locomotive foot pad molds, including a worktable 1. The top of the worktable 1 has a placement groove for precisely placing the mold 16. Its size is closely matched with the mold 16, which can effectively prevent the mold 16 from shifting during processing and ensure processing accuracy. Two limiting rods 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1. The limiting rods 2 are made of high-strength steel and have good rigidity and stability, providing reliable guidance for the sliding of subsequent components.

[0031] The top of the two limiting rods 2 is slidably connected to a connecting plate, which can slide smoothly on the limiting rods 2. Its design allows the connecting plate to move flexibly in the vertical direction, providing a stable mounting base for the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate. As a power output device, the cylinder 3 can provide strong and stable driving force. By precisely controlling its extension and retraction, it can drive the sliding plate 4 to move up and down precisely, thereby achieving precise control of the pressure applied during the processing of the mold 16.

[0032] A sliding plate 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder 3. The sliding plate 4 is tightly connected to the drive end of the cylinder 3. Under the drive of the cylinder 3, it can slide smoothly and quickly up and down along the direction of the limiting rod 2, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire processing process. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 4. The connecting plate 10 plays the role of connecting and transmitting force, accurately transmitting the movement of the sliding plate 4 to the extrusion block 15, ensuring the smooth progress of the extrusion action.

[0033] An extrusion block 15 is slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 10. The extrusion block 15 can slide flexibly at the bottom of the connecting plate 10. This design allows the extrusion block 15 to be easily adjusted and replaced according to different processing requirements, which greatly improves the flexibility and applicability of the mold 16. The extrusion block 15 has a slot 14 inside. The slot 14 is designed to cooperate with the connecting block 12 to realize the quick installation and disassembly of the extrusion block 15. The replacement of the extrusion block 15 can be completed through simple operation, which effectively shortens the adjustment time of the mold 16 and improves production efficiency.

[0034] The outer side of the extrusion block 15 is slidably connected to the mold 16. The mold 16 is tightly fitted with the extrusion block 15. Under the action of the extrusion block 15, the items placed inside it can be precisely extruded and shaped to ensure that the processed locomotive foot pads meet the design requirements. The outer side of the mold 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement groove. The placement groove provides a stable installation space for the mold 16, ensuring that the mold 16 remains stable during processing and avoiding the impact of shaking on the processing quality.

[0035] The connecting plate 10 has a sliding groove inside, which provides a track for the sliding of the connecting plate 2 11, allowing the connecting plate 2 11 to move smoothly inside the connecting plate 10. This enables the separation and engagement of the connecting block 12 and the slot 14, facilitating the replacement of the extrusion block 15. The connecting plate 10 has two connecting plates 2 11 slidingly connected inside. The two connecting plates 2 11 slide in the sliding groove and cooperate with each other to drive the connecting block 12 to move, thereby fixing and disassembling the extrusion block 15. The operation is simple and convenient, improving the efficiency of mold changing.

[0036] Connecting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two connecting plates 11. The connecting blocks 12 are tightly connected to the connecting plates 11. Driven by the connecting plates 11, they can accurately insert into or disengage from the slots 14 of the extrusion block 15, realizing the quick fixing and disassembly of the extrusion block 15. This ensures that the operation can be completed quickly when the extrusion block 15 needs to be replaced. The outer side of the connecting block 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the slots 14. When the connecting block 12 is inserted into the slots 14, it can firmly fix the extrusion block 15 on the connecting plate 10, ensuring that the extrusion block 15 will not loosen during the processing of the mold 16, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the processing.

[0037] A spring 13 is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate 2 11. The spring 13 has good elasticity. When the connecting plate 2 11 drives the connecting block 12 to be inserted into the slot 14, the spring 13 will automatically extend and press the connecting block 12 tightly into the slot 14, further enhancing the fixing effect of the extrusion block 15 and preventing it from accidentally falling off during processing. At the same time, when disassembling, the elasticity of the spring 13 also helps the connecting block 12 to smoothly disengage from the slot 14, making the mold changing operation easier.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sliding plate 4 has multiple automatic oil-adding components fixedly connected inside. These components include a connecting column 5, which stores lubricating oil and works with the limiting rod 2 to automatically apply the lubricating oil. The connecting column 5 has an oil inlet 6 fixedly connected inside, which provides a channel for adding lubricating oil. When the lubricating oil inside the connecting column 5 is used up, the piston 7 can be easily removed from the oil inlet 6 to replenish the lubricating oil inside the connecting column 5, ensuring a continuous supply of lubricating oil and ensuring the normal operation of the automatic oil-adding function.

[0039] A piston 7 is slidably connected inside the oil inlet 6. The piston 7 can tightly seal the oil inlet 6 to prevent lubricating oil leakage during use. At the same time, when adding lubricating oil, the opening and closing of the oil inlet 6 can be controlled by removing and inserting the piston 7. The operation is simple and convenient, ensuring the smooth progress of the lubricating oil addition process. Multiple limiting holes 9 are opened inside the connecting column 5. The limiting holes 9 provide installation space and movement track for the ball bearing 8, allowing the ball bearing 8 to rotate freely within the limiting holes 9, thereby realizing the function of carrying out lubricating oil and applying it to the limiting rod 2.

[0040] A ball bearing 8 is rotatably connected inside the limiting hole 9. The ball bearing 8 can rotate flexibly within the limiting hole 9. When the sliding plate 4 drives the connecting column 5 to slide along the limiting rod 2, the ball bearing 8 contacts and rotates with the outside of the limiting rod 2, carrying out the lubricating oil inside the connecting column 5 and evenly coating it on the outside of the limiting rod 2, thus providing good lubrication, reducing friction and wear between parts, extending the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the smoothness and stability of the sliding plate 4 during movement. The outer side of the ball bearing 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 2, ensuring that the ball bearing 8 can fully contact and rotate relative to the limiting rod 2, thereby achieving effective application of lubricating oil and providing continuous lubrication protection for the limiting rod 2 and related moving parts.

[0041] Working principle: When the operator needs to process the mold 16, the mold 16 can be placed inside the mold 16. Then, the cylinder 3 is activated to drive the sliding plate 4 downward. The sliding plate 4 is connected to the connecting column 5, and the connecting column 5 has multiple limiting holes 9 inside. The ball bearings 8 rotate inside the limiting holes 9. The ball bearings 8 rotate outside the limiting rod 2, which can carry out the lubricating oil poured into the connecting column 5, thereby applying the lubricating oil to the outside of the limiting rod 2. When the lubricating oil inside the connecting column 5 is used up, the piston 7 can be removed from the oil inlet 6. Then, lubricating oil can be poured into the connecting column 5 through the oil inlet 6, so that the parts can be lubricated during operation. Then, the extrusion block 15 can be driven downward by the connecting plate 10, so that the extrusion block 15 extrudes the items inside the mold 16.

[0042] When it is necessary to change the shape or size of the extrusion, the mold 16 can be lifted upwards and removed from the inside of the worktable 1. At this time, the two connecting plates 11 connected inside the connecting plate 10 can be moved so that the two connecting plates 11 are brought together. This causes the connecting plate 12 to move and disengage from the extrusion block 15, opening the slot 14 inside. The extrusion block 15 can then be removed. When the extrusion block 15 needs to be reinstalled, the connecting plate 11 needs to be brought together again and the connecting block 12 needs to be slid into the extrusion block 15. After the connecting block 12 is slid into the extrusion block 15, the connecting plate 11 can be released. At this time, the spring 13 connected to the inside of the connecting plate 11 will push the connecting plate 11 outwards, thereby pushing the connecting block 12 into the slot 14.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
