Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold manufacturing technology, specifically a water-cooled mold frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the mold manufacturing industry, the mold base, as the basic load-bearing component of the mold, directly affects the service life of the mold and the quality of the molded product through temperature control. For processes such as injection molding and die casting, the mold accumulates a large amount of heat during operation due to continuous contact with high-temperature molten material. If heat cannot be dissipated in time, it can lead to problems such as thermal deformation of the mold base, extended molding cycle, shrinkage cavities in the product, or out-of-tolerance dimensional accuracy.

[0003] Currently, traditional water-cooling structures for mold bases mostly employ the method of directly machining circular water channels within the mold base, using cooling water circulation to remove heat. However, this type of structure has the following drawbacks: 1. Inconvenient replacement and maintenance: The water system and mold base are machined as a whole. When the mold needs to be replaced or the water system is blocked or damaged, the mold base needs to be completely disassembled or re-machined, which results in long mold replacement time and high maintenance costs. 2. Poor versatility: Different molds have different heat dissipation characteristics, and traditional fixed water channels cannot meet the heat dissipation needs of various molds. Custom mold frames are required for each mold, which increases production costs.

[0004] Therefore, developing a water-cooled mold frame structure that combines efficient heat dissipation, modular replacement, convenient operation, and strong versatility has become the key to solving the above problems.

[0005] Those skilled in the art have provided a water-cooled mold frame structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-cooled mold frame structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A water-cooled mold frame structure includes an upper mold base, a lower mold base, guide pillars, guide sleeves, a rectangular frame, cooling water pipes, an external support, and a water channel interface. The upper mold base and the lower mold base are vertically guided and fitted by the guide pillars and guide sleeves. Both the upper mold base and the lower mold base have through rectangular slots. The rectangular frame is adapted to be inserted into the rectangular slots, and the outer wall of the rectangular frame is in contact with the inner wall of the rectangular slots. The cooling water pipes are arranged in a serpentine pattern inside the rectangular frame. The cross-section of the cooling water pipes is rectangular, and their upper and lower surfaces are in contact with the upper and lower inner walls of the rectangular slots, respectively.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one side of the rectangular frame is provided with a water inlet connector and a water outlet connector, and the two ends of the cooling water pipe are respectively connected to the water inlet connector and the water outlet connector.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the external bracket is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the mold base with a rectangular through groove.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the water interface includes an inlet interface and an outlet interface, both of which are installed on the external bracket and can be quickly connected to the inlet connector and the outlet connector respectively.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the other end of both the water inlet and the water outlet is fixedly connected to a circulating cooling pipe to form a cooling circulation path.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the rectangular frame is made of aluminum alloy, the cooling water pipe is made of copper, and the upper and lower surfaces of the cooling water pipe are flush with the upper and lower surfaces of the rectangular frame.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the external bracket is an L-shaped steel plate, including a horizontal fixing plate and a vertical mounting plate. The horizontal fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mold base by bolts, and the vertical mounting plate has two through holes for installing water inlet and water outlet interfaces.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the inlet and outlet connectors are provided with annular sealing grooves on their outer peripheries, and O-rings are fitted inside the sealing grooves; the inner walls of the inlet and outlet interfaces are provided with sealing steps that are adapted to the O-rings, and when the inlet connector is inserted into the inlet interface and the outlet connector is inserted into the outlet interface, the O-rings fit tightly with the sealing steps.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The mold frame innovatively sets through rectangular slots in both the upper and lower mold bases, and adapts to the rectangular frame into which a built-in serpentine rectangular cross-section cooling water pipe is inserted. The upper and lower surfaces of the rectangular cross-section cooling water pipe can fit tightly against the inner wall of the rectangular slot. The modular plug-in design of the rectangular frame and the mold base, combined with the quick-connect structure of the water inlet and outlet connectors on one side of the rectangular frame and the water inlet and outlet interfaces on the external bracket, eliminates the need for complicated disassembly of the water pipes when changing the mold. The water cooling components can be replaced simply by pulling and inserting the rectangular frame, which significantly shortens the mold change time and improves production efficiency. It is suitable for various mold scenarios that require efficient heat dissipation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a water-cooled mold frame structure, including an upper mold base 1, a lower mold base 2, guide pillars 3, guide sleeves 4, a rectangular frame 5, cooling water pipes 6, an external support 7, and a water channel interface.

[0023] The upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are arranged in parallel. The guide pillars 3 are fixed at the four corners of the lower mold base 2, and the guide sleeves 4 are installed at the four corners of the upper mold base 1 respectively. The guide pillars 3 and the guide sleeves 4 are slidably engaged to realize the vertical guidance of the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 and ensure the mold closing accuracy.

[0024] Both the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 have through rectangular slots 9 with rectangular cross-sections. The rectangular frame 5 is shaped to fit the rectangular slot 9. After being inserted into the rectangular slot 9, the outer wall of the rectangular frame 5 fits tightly against the inner wall of the rectangular slot 9, with a clearance of 0.1-0.2mm. This facilitates the insertion and removal of the rectangular frame 5 while ensuring tight contact. A 5-10mm gap is left between the two ends of the rectangular slot 9 and the side of the mold base to prevent a decrease in strength at the edges of the mold base due to the slotting.

[0025] The rectangular frame 5 can be made of, but is not limited to, 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, which has good thermal conductivity and rigidity. The cooling water pipe 6 is made of copper and is arranged in a serpentine pattern inside the rectangular frame 5. The cross-section of the cooling water pipe 6 is rectangular, and its upper and lower surfaces are flush with the upper and lower surfaces of the rectangular frame 5 to ensure full contact with the upper and lower inner walls of the rectangular through groove 9 and increase the heat dissipation area.

[0026] One side of the rectangular frame 5 is integrally formed with a water inlet connector 8 and a water outlet connector 13. The two ends of the cooling water pipe 6 are welded to the water inlet connector 8 and the water outlet connector 13 respectively. The outer periphery of the water inlet connector 8 and the water outlet connector 13 is provided with annular sealing grooves and built-in high-temperature resistant O-rings for sealing during insertion.

[0027] The external support 7 is an L-shaped steel plate, including a horizontal fixing plate and a vertical mounting plate. The horizontal fixing plate is fixed to the outer wall of the mold base with bolts. The vertical mounting plate has through holes for installing the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 10. The inner walls of the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 10 are provided with sealing steps, which cooperate with the O-rings of the water inlet connector 8 and the water outlet connector 13 to form a seal and achieve quick connection.

[0028] The other ends of the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 10 are connected to the circulating cooling pipe 12 by threads. The circulating cooling pipe 12 is connected to a chiller, forming a cooling circulation path of "chiller → circulating cooling pipe → water inlet → water inlet connector → cooling water pipe → water outlet connector → water outlet → circulating cooling pipe → chiller".

[0029] During installation, insert the rectangular frame 5 into one end of the rectangular through slot 9. Apply thermal grease to the contact surface of the cooling water pipe 6 to eliminate gaps. Align the inlet connector 8 and outlet connector 13 with the inlet interface 11 and outlet interface 10 on the external bracket 7 and insert them into place. Ensure the O-ring seal fits tightly against the sealing step to achieve a seal. Start the chiller. Cooling water enters the cooling water pipe 6 through the circulating cooling pipe 12, inlet interface 11, and inlet connector 8. During the flow in the serpentine pipe, it absorbs the heat transferred from the mold base and then flows back to the chiller through the outlet connector 13, outlet interface 10, and circulating cooling pipe 12 to cool down, thus completing heat dissipation. When replacing the rectangular frame 5, disconnect the connector from the interface and push the rectangular frame 5 out of the rectangular through slot 9. Repeat the above installation steps after replacing the new frame.
