Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of skylight foaming technology, and more specifically, it relates to a lifting platform for a skylight foaming mold base. Background Technology
[0002] A car sunroof is installed on the roof of the vehicle, which can effectively allow air circulation inside the car and increase the intake of fresh air. At the same time, a car sunroof can also meet the needs of a wide field of vision and mobile photography and videography.
[0003] Currently, in the production process of automotive sunroofs, components such as the frame need to be injection molded and foamed before they can be used for sunroof assembly and installation. Therefore, automotive sunroof molding equipment plays an important role in the production process.
[0004] However, after the existing raw materials are foamed and molded, they are eventually removed from the mold by the operator. Uneven force applied during manual material removal can easily cause deformation of the foamed material, affecting the subsequent use of the foamed material. A lifting platform for the foaming mold base of the skylight is proposed to improve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lifting platform for a skylight foam mold base.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A lifting platform for a sunroof foam mold base includes a foaming component, a heating plate on the foaming component, a cover plate component on one side of the heating plate, a lifting component in the middle of the foaming component, and a limit component on the side of the heating plate away from the cover plate component.
[0007] The foaming assembly includes a workbench, a foaming mold is disposed on the top of the workbench, and a heating plate is disposed at the bottom of the foaming mold.
[0008] The cover assembly includes a top cover, and a pressure plate is provided on one side of the top cover.
[0009] The lifting assembly includes a fitting plate disposed inside the foaming mold. The top of the fitting plate has two sets of through slots, and a lifting plate is disposed inside each of the two sets of through slots. A lifting cylinder is disposed below each set of lifting plates.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: two sets of lifting cylinders are disposed at the bottom of the workbench, and the output ends of the two sets of lifting cylinders pass through the workbench, the heating plate, the foaming mold and are connected to the two sets of lifting plates in sequence.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the lifting plate is shaped as an inverted cone, the lifting cylinder is connected to the smaller end of the lifting plate, and the shape of the lifting plate is adapted to the shape of the through groove.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the initial position of the lifting plate is flush with the fitting plate, that is, the lifting plate and the fitting plate are matched. During the foaming process, the lifting plate and the fitting plate form a complete working surface, avoiding material leakage or uneven force. The inner side wall of the through groove is adapted to the outer side wall of the lifting plate. When the lifting plate rises, the conical surface will slide along the inclined groove of the mold side wall, so that the lifting action is carried out in the vertical direction, reducing mold damage caused by deviation. The lifting plate has an inverted conical structure. As it gradually separates from the through groove, the contact area between the lifting plate and the through groove gradually decreases, reducing frictional resistance and facilitating the lifting of the foamed product by the lifting plate. At the same time, when the lifting plate returns to the initial position under the action of the lifting cylinder, the conical surface has self-guiding properties and can quickly return to the initial position flush with the fitting plate, reducing the risk of reset jamming and improving the stability of equipment operation.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the cover plate assembly includes two sets of symmetrically arranged columns, and two sets of limiting members are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the two sets of columns. Each set of columns has a set of connecting blocks inside, and the two sets of connecting blocks are integrally formed with the top cover.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: two sets of buckles are symmetrically arranged at one end of the top cover away from the two sets of connecting blocks; a connector is provided on one side of the top cover; an adjusting cylinder is provided at one end of the connector away from the top cover; one end of the adjusting cylinder is hinged to the connector; and the other end of the adjusting cylinder is hinged to the worktable.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the limiting component includes two sets of symmetrically arranged card holders, and the two sets of card holders are disposed on the top of the worktable.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: a set of limiting cylinders is provided on one side of each of the two sets of card seats, the two sets of limiting cylinders are arranged opposite to each other, and a set of card slots is opened on the top of each of the two sets of card seats.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sets of slots are respectively adapted to the two sets of buckles, the two sets of buckles are respectively provided with a set of insertion holes, and the output ends of the two sets of limit cylinders are respectively connected to a set of pins. The two sets of pins are respectively adapted to the two sets of insertion holes. When the top cover covers the top of the foaming mold, the two sets of buckles are respectively engaged in the interior of the two sets of slots. Then, the two sets of limit cylinders are activated respectively, and the two sets of limit cylinders drive the pins connected to their respective output ends to engage in the insertion holes of the two sets of buckles. The top cover is further fixed by the adaptation of the pins and insertion holes, providing a stable environment for the normal operation of the foaming work.
[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: With the aid of the lifting assembly for demolding, the production of sunroof foam can be completed more efficiently. The inner wall of the through groove is adapted to the outer wall of the lifting plate. When the lifting plate rises, the conical surface slides along the inclined groove of the mold side wall, so that the lifting action is carried out in the vertical direction, reducing mold damage caused by offset.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1, see Figure 1 A lifting platform for a sunroof foam mold base includes a foaming component 1, a heating plate 2 on the foaming component 1, a cover plate component 3 on one side of the heating plate 2, a lifting component 4 in the middle of the foaming component 1, and a limit component 5 on the side of the heating plate 2 away from the cover plate component 3.
[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The foaming component 1 includes a workbench 11, a foaming mold 12 is provided on the top of the workbench 11, and a heating plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the foaming mold 12.
[0032] The heating plate 2 is a key component to ensure the uniform curing of the foam material. Its structure usually uses a substrate with good thermal conductivity such as aluminum alloy or steel plate, with embedded resistance wire integrated with the substrate. It is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a heat insulation layer for precise temperature control.
[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cover assembly 3 includes a top cover 31, and a pressure plate 32 is provided on one side of the top cover 31.
[0034] The pressure plate 32 can cover the top of the foaming mold 12. The shape of the pressure plate 32 is adapted to the shape of the foaming mold 12. The pressure plate 32 and the foaming mold 12 form a closed environment to provide an environment for foaming.
[0035] In addition, the top cover 31 and the pressure plate 32 form a double-layer structure. A buffer material is provided in the middle of the pressure plate 32 and the top cover 31 to form a pressure buffer layer, so that the pressure applied by the upper top cover 31 is evenly transmitted to the lower pressure plate 32 through the middle layer, and then acts on the foaming material. This allows the pressure to be more evenly distributed on the surface of the material, avoiding excessive local pressure that could cause foam rupture or insufficient local pressure that could cause insufficient foaming.
[0036] See Figures 6-8 The lifting assembly 4 includes a fitting plate 41, which is disposed inside the foaming mold 12. The top of the fitting plate 41 has two sets of through slots 44, and a set of lifting plates 42 is disposed inside each of the two sets of through slots 44. A set of lifting cylinders 43 is disposed below each set of lifting plates 42.
[0037] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Two sets of lifting cylinders 43 are located at the bottom of the workbench 11. The output ends of the two sets of lifting cylinders 43 pass through the workbench 11, the heating plate 2, the foaming mold 12 and are connected to the two sets of lifting plates 42 respectively.
[0038] See Figures 6-8 The lifting plate 42 is designed with an inverted cone shape, and the lifting cylinder... 43 is connected to the smaller end of the lifting plate 42, and the shape of the lifting plate 42 is adapted to the shape of the through groove 44.
[0039] The insert plate 41 is embedded inside the foaming mold 12, and a gap is provided between the insert plate 41 and the bottom of the foaming mold 12 to facilitate the sliding of the lifting plate 42.
[0040] In practical applications, after foaming and molding, the lifting cylinder 43 is activated, which drives the lifting plate 42 to slide upward along the through groove 44. The lifting plate 42 can lift the foamed material, and the lifting plate 42 can assist in demolding the foamed material. After demolding, the foamed material can be directly picked up by the robot and processed at the next station. With the lifting component 4 assisting in demolding, the production of sunroof foam can be completed more efficiently.
[0041] The initial position of the lifting plate 42 is flush with the fitting plate 41, that is, the lifting plate 42 and the fitting plate 41 are matched. The initial position is flush with and matched with the fitting plate 41. During the foaming process, the lifting plate 42 and the fitting plate 41 form a complete working surface to avoid material leakage or uneven stress.
[0042] The inner wall of the through groove 44 is adapted to the outer wall of the lifting plate 42. When the lifting plate 42 rises, the conical surface slides along the inclined groove of the mold side wall, so that the lifting action is carried out in the vertical direction, reducing mold damage caused by deviation. The lifting plate 42 has an inverted conical structure. As it gradually separates from the through groove 44, the contact area between the lifting plate 42 and the through groove 44 gradually decreases, reducing frictional resistance and facilitating the lifting of the foamed product by the lifting plate 42. At the same time, when the lifting plate 42 returns to the initial position under the action of the lifting cylinder 43, it can quickly return to the initial position flush with the interlocking plate 41 due to the self-guiding nature of the conical surface, reducing the risk of reset jamming and improving the stability of equipment operation.
[0043] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover plate assembly 3 also includes two sets of symmetrically arranged columns 36. Two sets of limiting members 34 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the two sets of columns 36. Each set of columns 36 has a set of connecting blocks 38 inside. The two sets of connecting blocks 38 and the top cover 31 are integrally formed.
[0044] See Figure 3 and Figure 4Two sets of connecting blocks 38 are hinged to two sets of columns 36 respectively. The two sets of columns 36 are set on the top of the workbench 11. Two sets of limiting members 34 are set on the top of the workbench 11, and the top of the two sets of limiting members 34 is in contact with the top cover 31. The two sets of limiting members 34 play the role of limiting the top cover 31 and reducing the possibility of the top cover 31 folding over.
[0045] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Two sets of buckles 33 are symmetrically arranged at one end of the top cover 31 away from the two sets of connecting blocks 38. A connector 35 is provided on one side of the top cover 31. An adjusting cylinder 37 is provided at one end of the connector 35 away from the top cover 31. One end of the adjusting cylinder 37 is hinged to the connector 35, and the other end of the adjusting cylinder 37 is hinged to the worktable 11.
[0046] The connector 35 is designed with an L-shaped structure. When the adjusting cylinder 37 is activated, the adjusting cylinder 37 extends and pushes the connector 35, which in turn pushes the top cover 31. Since the connecting block 38 is hinged to the column 36, the top cover 31 drives the connecting block 38 to fold along the column 36 until the top cover 31 covers the top of the foaming mold 12. When the top cover 31 covers the top of the foaming mold 12, the pressure plate 32 follows the top cover 31 and covers the top of the foaming mold 12. The pressure plate 32 and the foaming mold 12 form a closed environment to provide the corresponding conditions for the foaming work.
[0047] See Figure 5 The limiting component 5 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged card holders 51, which are located on the top of the worktable 11.
[0048] See Figure 5 Each of the two sets of card holders 51 has a set of limiting cylinders 52 on one side, and the two sets of limiting cylinders 52 are arranged opposite each other. Each of the two sets of card holders 51 has a set of card slots 53 on its top.
[0049] Among them, the two sets of slots 53 are respectively adapted to the two sets of buckles 33, the two sets of buckles 33 are respectively provided with a set of insertion holes, the output ends of the two sets of limit cylinders 52 are respectively connected to a set of pins, and the two sets of pins are respectively adapted to the two sets of insertion holes.
[0050] After the top cover 31 covers the top of the foaming mold 12, the two sets of buckles 33 are respectively engaged with the inside of the two sets of slots 53. Then, the two sets of limit cylinders 52 are activated. The two sets of limit cylinders 52 drive the pins connected to their respective output ends to engage with the insertion holes of the two sets of buckles 33. The top cover 31 is further fixed by the matching of the pins and insertion holes, providing a stable environment for the normal operation of the foaming work.
[0051] In practical applications, compressed air is usually sprayed to clean the mold, and foaming liquid is injected into the mold through a liquid injection device. The liquid injection device generally uses a multi-axis robotic arm to drive the injection gun to inject the foaming liquid.
[0052] Specifically, firstly, the inner cavity of the foaming mold 12 is cleaned with compressed air. Secondly, the heating plate 2 is activated to heat the foaming mold 12 and maintain a certain temperature. Then, a release agent is sprayed, and foaming agent is injected into the foaming mold 12 through the injection device. Then, the cylinder 37 is adjusted to extend and push the top cover 31, causing the connecting block 38 to fold along the column 36 until the top cover 31 covers the top of the foaming mold 12. At the same time, the pressure plate 32 follows the top cover 31 to cover the top of the foaming mold 12, and the pressure plate 32 and the foaming mold 12 form a closed environment, and the foaming material begins to foam. After foaming and molding, the lifting cylinder 43 is activated, and the lifting cylinder 43 drives the lifting plate 42 to slide upward along the through groove 44. The lifting plate 42 can eject the foaming material, and the lifting plate 42 can assist in demolding the foaming material. After demolding, the foaming material can be directly grasped by the robot and processed at the next station.
[0053] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
