However, existing mechanisms have significant drawbacks: their complex structure and numerous parts require specialized personnel and various tools for precise adjustment during assembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; operation is primarily automated, and the trial molding stage cannot meet the needs of flexible manual adjustments, resulting in inefficient and costly trial molding; during maintenance, replacing vulnerable parts requires disassembling a large number of related parts, which is not only troublesome but also easily damages other components, and it is impossible to remove leftover materials in a timely manner, often causing production line stoppages and seriously affecting production progress and efficiency. Therefore, a step distance sensing mechanism for molds is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a step distance sensing mechanism for a mold, comprising a limiting mechanism 1 and a sensing mechanism 2, wherein the sensing mechanism 2 is located inside the limiting mechanism 1.

[0030] The limiting mechanism 1 includes a fixed base 101, a vertical shaft 102 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 101, and a limiting block 103 is fixedly connected to the outside of the vertical shaft 102;

[0031] The sensing mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 201. A limit bolt 202 is threadedly connected inside the mounting plate 201. A spring 203 is provided on the outside of the limit bolt 202. The limit bolt 202 and the top of the spring 203 are movably connected to the same step distance limiting vertical block 204. Two support blocks 205 are fixedly connected to the right side of the step distance limiting vertical block 204. The same sensing baffle 206 is fixedly connected to the outside of the two support blocks 205. A sensor 207 is fixedly connected inside the mounting plate 201.

[0032] The spring constant of spring 203 is k = 50 N / mm, and spring 203 can provide a buffer force of 1000 N;

[0033] The vertical shaft 102 is connected to the limiting block 103 by a keyway, which is a flat key structure.

[0034] Two parallel guide grooves are provided on the inner side of the fixed base 101 (groove depth h≈5mm, spacing d≈30mm), and guide bosses are provided on the outer side of the step distance limiting vertical block 204, which slide with the guide grooves.

[0035] The sensor 207 is fitted with an oil-proof and waterproof sealing ring on the outside;

[0036] Sensor 207 uses the magnetoelectric induction principle and integrates a filter circuit (cutoff frequency 100Hz, signal cable uses double-shielded cable);

[0037] A fixed seat 101 is slidably connected to the outer side of the step distance limiting vertical block 204, and a sliding groove 3 is provided inside the step distance limiting vertical block 204, which is adapted to the limiting block 103.

[0038] By rotating the vertical shaft 102 to adjust the position of the limiting block 103 in the slide groove 3, the step distance limiting vertical block 204 can be locked when no sensing is required, so as to facilitate maintenance by workers.

[0039] The sensing baffle 206 is in contact with and compatible with the sensor 207. Both the sensing baffle 206 and the mounting plate 201 are L-shaped.

[0040] By using a contact-type sensor 207 with the sensing baffle 206, the contact sensing can avoid interference from oil contamination, resulting in a false alarm rate of <0.5%, thus improving the reliability of the device.

[0041] The limiting bolt 202 is located inside the spring 203, and the bottom of the spring 203 is in contact with the mounting plate 201;

[0042] Spring 203 provides buffering force, which can absorb the impact energy of the mold and reduce mechanical damage. The limit bolt 202 can adjust the preload, which is suitable for molds of 50 to 300 tons, thus enhancing its versatility.

[0043] The mounting plate 201 has a U-shaped hole inside, through which the sensor 207 is connected to an external power source.

[0044] The U-shaped hole allows the cable to be freely adjusted at an angle, preventing cable breakage due to vibration and reducing the failure rate by 90%. It also allows for quick plugging and unplugging during maintenance, shortening repair time to 1.5 hours.

[0045] Both the fixed base 101 and the mounting plate 201 have a number of screw holes 4 inside. The top of the step distance limiting vertical block 204 is set with an inclined surface and is adapted to the mold.

[0046] With multiple sets of screw holes 4, it supports diverse mounting bolt / clip connections, adapts to different substrates, and improves installation efficiency by 40%. The inclined surface can guide the mold to make smooth contact, reduce impact load by 30%, and reduce the tail material residue rate to <5%.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] Step 1: When the mold needs to be inspected and the mold is closed, the mold contacts the step distance limiting vertical block 204 and presses down the step distance limiting vertical block 204. The step distance limiting vertical block 204 moves down through the slide groove 3, which in turn causes the step distance limiting vertical block 204 to drive the sensing baffle 206 to move down through the two support blocks 205. The sensing baffle 206 moves down and releases its contact with the sensor 207. At the same time, the step distance limiting vertical block 204 moves down and compresses the spring 203, which in turn causes the sensor 207 to send an electrical signal to indicate that the sensing baffle 206 has released its contact with the sensor 207.

[0049] Step 2: When the mold opens and closes, the spring 203 undergoes elastic deformation to push out and reset the step distance limiting vertical block 204. This causes the step distance limiting vertical block 204 to move the sensing baffle 206 upward through the two support blocks 205. When the sensing baffle 206 moves upward and contacts the sensor 207, the sensor 207 sends an electrical signal to indicate that the sensing baffle 206 is in contact with the sensor 207.

[0050] Step 3: When the equipment needs to be inspected, press down the step distance limiting vertical block 204 to move the step distance limiting vertical block 204 to the lowest part and expose the sliding groove 3 inside the step distance limiting vertical block 204 and position it at the bottom of the fixed base 101. Then manually rotate the limiting block 103 so that the limiting block 103 rotates into the sliding groove 3 inside the step distance limiting vertical block 204 through the vertical shaft 102, thereby locking the step distance limiting vertical block 204 with the limiting block 103 to facilitate the worker's inspection.
