Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wax molding process technology, specifically to a batch cooling and shaping frame for handicrafts suitable for wax molding. Background Technology

[0002] The wax modeling method is a traditional and widely used craft molding process. Molten wax is poured into a mold to form the product. After the wax model cools and solidifies, it is removed, and subsequent processes such as shell making and casting are carried out to obtain exquisite handicrafts. In the wax modeling process, the cooling and shaping of the wax model is a crucial step. Only when the wax model is fully cooled and its shape is stable can the subsequent processes be carried out smoothly, avoiding deformation and damage caused by the wax model not being fully set. This ensures the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the handicrafts. Therefore, specialized equipment is required to achieve efficient cooling and shaping of the wax model.

[0003] Traditional methods for cooling and shaping wax molds often rely on natural cooling or simple fan blowing. Natural cooling is greatly affected by ambient temperature and has a slow cooling rate, making it difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of mass production. Simple fan blowing, on the other hand, results in uneven cooling, with wax molds closer to the fan cooling faster and those farther away cooling slower. This can lead to significant differences in the shaping effect of different wax molds, affecting the consistency of subsequent processes and ultimately reducing the overall quality of the crafts. In addition, traditional methods lack a dedicated placement structure, resulting in haphazardly placed wax molds that not only take up a lot of space but may also be damaged by collisions, increasing production costs. Therefore, we propose a batch cooling and shaping rack for crafts suitable for the wax mold method. Utility Model Content

[0057] Working principle: The shaping frame base 1 serves as the basic support for the entire equipment. Its bottom support legs ensure overall stability. The support column 4 engages with the positioning blocks 11 at the top of the shaping frame base 1 and the bottom of the top cover plate 21 via positioning slots 16 at both ends, and is then fixed with bolts, thus firmly connecting the shaping frame base 1 and the top cover plate 21 to form the overall frame of the equipment. The side fixing plates 5 engage with the T-shaped locking blocks 20 on both the front and rear ends of the support column 4 via T-shaped locking slots 17 on the front and rear ends, further enhancing the stability of the side structure. Multiple equidistantly distributed placement plates 6 are installed... The placement plate 6 is installed between the base 1 and the top cover 21 of the shaping frame, and is used to place the crafts to be cooled and shaped. The guide rails 15 at both ends of the placement plate 6 are embedded in the rectangular slide grooves 18 inside the support column 4, which can be slidably adjusted. The limiting mechanism at both ends plays a key positioning role. The telescopic rod 8 and the fixing spring 9 on the back of the limiting fixing part 7 in the limiting mechanism are installed inside the guide rail 15. Under the elastic force of the fixing spring 9, the limiting fixing ends 10 on both sides of the limiting fixing part 7 are engaged with the limiting hole 19 on the left end of the support column 4, which can flexibly adjust the placement according to the size requirements of the crafts. The height of the placement plate 6 is fixed to ensure that handicrafts of different sizes can be placed stably. The ventilation holes on the placement plate 6 ensure smooth airflow for cooling, providing a good airflow environment for cooling the handicrafts. At the same time, a cooling fan 2 is installed in the placement slot at the center of the inner side of the top of the shaping frame base 1, and a cooling fan 2 is also provided at the bottom of the top cover plate 21. The two cooling fans 2 are distributed symmetrically in opposite directions. The protective cover net 3 at the top of the shaping frame base 1 and the bottom of the top cover plate 21 protects the cooling fans 2 and the handicrafts. The protective cover net 3 is connected to the shaping frame through the connecting cylinder 13 at the bottom. The connecting column 12 on the base 1 is inserted and fitted, and the pad 14 ensures that there is a suitable space between the protective cover net 3 and the shaping frame base 1 or the top cover plate 21 to ensure the normal operation of the fan. When the cooling fan 2 is started, the bottom fan blows air upward and the top fan blows air downward. The two airflows form a ring vortex field by converging in the interlayer space where the wax model is located. The airflow flows through the ventilation holes on the placement plate 6 and through the crafts placed on each layer, carrying away heat and achieving rapid cooling and shaping. The exhaust holes on the side fixing plate 5 also help the airflow and heat dissipation, improving the cooling efficiency.
