Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mold technology, and in particular to a book-shaped mold. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional food mold manufacturing industry, single-sheet molds were initially used. While these molds had a simple structure, they had several shortcomings in actual production. First, single-sheet molds were more suitable for manual production, resulting in low production efficiency and high labor intensity. Second, single-sheet molds were difficult to clean and prone to inaccurate positioning, which not only affected product quality but also increased production costs. Furthermore, single-sheet molds were not durable and were easily worn, further reducing production efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, several improved mold designs have emerged in the market, such as book-shaped molds, particularly in the production of hollow foods (e.g., chocolate, candy). Relevant prior art includes Chinese patent application "Book-shaped Hollow Food Mold," publication number CN2623034Y, which discloses an integrated, movable upper mold template and a lower mold template. These templates can be opened or closed in a book-like manner. The inner surface of the lower mold template has several hollow lower molds fixedly arranged, and the inner surface of the upper mold template also has several hollow upper molds at corresponding positions. This allows the lower molds to mate with the upper molds when the upper and lower mold templates are closed, forming a sealed, hollow container. The upper and lower molds also have corresponding rotating magnetic seats for the upper and lower molds, respectively.

[0004] Existing book-style molds use a fixed structure, which makes the mold assembly process complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, increasing the corresponding manufacturing costs. Moreover, once the mold is damaged, the entire mold needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance and replacement costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a book-style mold, which achieves cost reduction and service life extension through the independent design of detachable connecting components and template components, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a book-shaped mold, including a base plate and several sets of template assemblies. Several sets of connecting assemblies are detachably arranged on the base plate, with each set of connecting assemblies corresponding to a set of template assemblies. The template assemblies are connected to the connecting assemblies via a rotating shaft. Each connecting assembly includes two connecting blocks, left and right, which are detachably installed on the top surface of the base plate. Each template assembly includes a first template and a second template, with the first and second template structures arranged symmetrically. The first and second templates are each connected to a connecting block via a rotating shaft. The inner side of the first template has several first mold grooves, and the inner side of the second template has several second mold grooves corresponding to the positions of the first mold grooves. The first and second templates can be opened or closed in a book-like manner by rotating around the rotating shaft. When the first and second templates are closed, the first and second mold grooves cooperate to form a cavity.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, the detachable design of the connecting components makes mold maintenance and replacement more flexible. In traditional molds, if a component is damaged, the entire mold may need to be replaced, resulting in high costs. In this technical solution, the connecting block is detachably installed on the top surface of the base plate. When the connecting block or template assembly is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire mold. This partial replacement method significantly reduces mold maintenance costs. If it is necessary to produce products of different sizes or shapes, only the corresponding template assembly needs to be replaced, without requiring large-scale modifications to the entire mold.

[0008] Secondly, the first and second mold plates can rotate around a pivot, allowing them to open and close like a book. This opening and closing method is more efficient than traditional single-page molds. During production, when the first and second mold plates close, the first and second mold slots cooperate to form a cavity, allowing for the simultaneous molding of multiple products. Moreover, the book-like opening method makes it easier to remove the product from the mold when opening the mold, reducing operation time and labor intensity.

[0009] Finally, the first and second mold plate structures are symmetrically arranged. This symmetry allows for a more precise fit between the first and second mold grooves when the mold closes. During production, this ensures the consistency and stability of the cavity, thereby improving product quality stability. Simultaneously, the symmetrical structure makes it easier to ensure precision during mold design and manufacturing, reducing production problems caused by mold structure deviations and thus improving production efficiency.

[0010] In some embodiments of this invention, the connecting block is a rectangular block structure, with stepped holes at both ends of the top surface of the connecting block. The connecting block is detachably connected to the base plate by bolts located at both ends, with the bolts installed in the stepped holes.

[0011] This design makes the connection between the connecting block and the base plate more secure and easier to disassemble. The stepped hole design can hide the bolts, preventing them from being damaged by external forces during mold use. At the same time, the bolts can be easily removed when disassembly is needed, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the connecting block. This design improves the durability and ease of maintenance of the mold.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first template is a rectangular plate structure, and the outer side of the first template extends to form two legs; the structure of the second template is symmetrical to the structure of the first template, and the outer side of the second template extends to form two legs.

[0013] The legs serve as fulcrums for the template assembly during rotation. The symmetrical leg structure ensures the balance of the template during opening and closing, reducing stress concentration and wear caused by structural asymmetry, thereby improving the template's service life and operational stability.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the support legs are located on the side of the first template and the second template that are close to each other, and the two support legs are respectively set close to the two connecting blocks of a set of connecting components.

[0015] This ensures the stability and flexibility of the template assembly during rotation. The placement of the support legs close to the connecting block effectively reduces wobbling during rotation, improving the mold's precision and stability.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the support leg is a block structure, the bottom surface of the support leg is an inclined surface, and the angle between the bottom surface of the support leg on the first template and the bottom surface of the support leg on the second template is an obtuse angle.

[0017] The inclined surface design allows the first and second templates to stop rotating at a predetermined angle, reducing friction and wear. The obtuse angle design increases the contact area between the legs and the base plate, improving the support stability of the legs.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the two legs are connected to the bottom surface via a rounded transition on opposite sides. The legs rotate around this fulcrum to close or open. The rounded transition reduces stress concentration and improves the durability of the legs. During the rotation of the mold assembly, the rounded transition reduces stress concentration caused by sharp corners, thereby extending the service life of the legs and also helping to reduce noise and vibration during mold use.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, one end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connecting block, and the other end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the support leg.

[0020] The high-precision fit between the rotating shafts and their mounting holes effectively improves product quality. This design makes the shaft installation more stable, reducing loosening and wear during use. The tighter connection between the rotating shaft and the connecting block and support feet improves the rotational accuracy and stability of the mold assembly, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the mold.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the two rotating shafts on the connecting block are located inside two stepped holes. This design can further improve the connection stability between the connecting block and the rotating shafts. The inner design of the stepped holes can better fix the rotating shafts, reduce the shaking of the rotating shafts during use, thereby improving the precision and durability of the mold.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the longitudinal section of the base plate is a T-shaped structure, and limiting bosses are provided at both ends of the top surface of the base plate. The design of the T-shaped base plate and the limiting bosses can effectively limit the excessive rotation of the template assembly and ensure the positional accuracy of the template assembly during the opening and closing process. The limiting bosses can prevent the template assembly from exceeding the predetermined range during rotation, thereby improving the stability and safety of the mold.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, a connector is mounted on the base plate, and a spring is fitted over the connector. The spring design provides a certain degree of elastic cushioning, reducing the impact force experienced by the mold during use.

[0024] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] A book-shaped mold, as described in Embodiment 1 Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mold includes a base plate 1 and several sets of template assemblies 2. Several sets of connecting assemblies are detachably mounted on the base plate 1, with each set of connecting assemblies corresponding to a set of template assemblies 2. The template assemblies 2 are connected to the connecting assemblies via a rotating shaft 9. Each connecting assembly includes two connecting blocks 4, which are detachably mounted on the top surface of the base plate 1. This detachable design makes mold maintenance and replacement more flexible. In traditional molds, if a component is damaged, the entire mold may need to be replaced, resulting in high costs. However, in this solution, the connecting blocks 4 are detachably mounted on the top surface of the base plate 1. When a connecting block 4 or a template assembly 2 is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire mold. This partial replacement method significantly reduces mold maintenance costs. If products of different sizes or shapes need to be produced, only the corresponding template assembly 2 needs to be replaced, without requiring large-scale modifications to the entire mold.

[0031] The template assembly 2 includes a first template 5 and a second template 6. The first template 5 and the second template 6 are symmetrically arranged. The first template 5 and the second template 6 are each connected to a connecting block 4 via a rotating shaft 9. This symmetry allows for more precise matching of the first and second mold grooves when the mold is closed. During production, this ensures the consistency and stability of the cavity, thereby improving the stability of product quality. Simultaneously, the symmetrical structure makes it easier to ensure precision during mold design and manufacturing, reducing production problems caused by mold structural deviations, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0032] The inner surface of the first template 5 has several first mold grooves, and the inner surface of the second template 6 has several second mold grooves corresponding to the first mold grooves. The first template 5 and the second template 6 can be opened or closed in a book-like manner by rotating around the pivot 9. When the first template 5 and the second template 6 are closed, the first mold grooves and second mold grooves cooperate to form a cavity. This opening and closing method is more efficient than traditional single-page molds. During production, when the first template 5 and the second template 6 are closed, the first mold grooves and second mold grooves cooperate to form a cavity, allowing for the simultaneous molding of multiple products. Moreover, when opening the mold and removing parts, the book-like opening method makes it easier to remove the product from the mold, reducing operation time and labor intensity.

[0033] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6 The connecting block 4 is a rectangular block structure with stepped holes 10 at both ends of its top surface. The connecting block 4 is detachably connected to the base plate 1 via bolts installed at both ends within the stepped holes 10. This design makes the connection between the connecting block 4 and the base plate 1 more secure and easier to disassemble. The stepped holes 10 conceal the bolts, preventing damage during mold use, and allow for easy removal when disassembly is required, facilitating replacement and maintenance of the connecting block 4. This design improves the mold's durability and ease of maintenance.

[0034] The first template 5 is a rectangular plate structure, and its outer surface extends to form two supports 12. The structure of the second template 6 is symmetrical to that of the first template 5, and its outer surface also extends to form two supports 12. The supports 12 serve as fulcrums for the template assembly 2 during rotation. The symmetrical support structure 12 ensures the balance of the template during opening and closing, reduces stress concentration and wear caused by structural asymmetry, and thus improves the service life and operational stability of the template.

[0035] The support legs 12 are located on the sides of the first template 5 and the second template 6 that are close to each other, and the two support legs 12 are respectively set close to the two connecting blocks 4 of a set of connecting components. This ensures the stability and flexibility of the template assembly 2 during rotation. The placement of the support legs 12 close to the connecting blocks 4 can effectively reduce the shaking generated by the template assembly 2 during rotation, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the mold.

[0036] The support leg 12 is a block structure with an inclined bottom surface. The angle between the bottom surfaces of the support leg 12 on the first template 5 and the second template 6 is an obtuse angle. The inclined surface design allows the first template 5 and the second template 6 to stop rotating at a predetermined angle, reducing friction and wear. The obtuse angle design increases the contact area between the support leg 12 and the base plate 1, improving the support stability of the support leg 12.

[0037] The two support legs 12 are connected to the bottom surface by a rounded transition on opposite sides. The support legs 12 will rotate around this fulcrum to close or open. The rounded transition reduces stress concentration and improves the durability of the support legs 12. During the rotation of the template assembly 2, the rounded transition reduces stress concentration caused by sharp corners, thereby extending the service life of the support legs 12, and also helps to reduce noise and vibration during mold use.

[0038] One end of the rotating shaft 9 is inserted into the connecting block 4, and the other end of the rotating shaft 9 is inserted into the support leg 12. The rotating shaft 9 is precisely connected to the mounting hole of the rotating shaft 9, effectively improving product quality. This design makes the installation of the rotating shaft 9 more stable, reducing loosening and wear during use. The tighter connection between the rotating shaft 9, the connecting block 4, and the support leg 12 improves the rotational accuracy and stability of the template assembly 2, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the mold.

[0039] The two rotating shafts 9 on the connecting block 4 are located inside the two stepped holes 10. This design can further improve the connection stability between the connecting block 4 and the rotating shafts 9. The inner design of the stepped holes 10 can better fix the rotating shafts 9, reduce the shaking of the rotating shafts 9 during use, thereby improving the precision and durability of the mold.

[0040] The base plate 1 has a T-shaped longitudinal section, and limiting bosses 13 are provided at both ends of the top surface of the base plate 1. The design of the T-shaped base plate 1 and the limiting bosses 13 can effectively limit the excessive rotation of the template assembly 2 and ensure the positional accuracy of the template assembly 2 during the opening and closing process. The limiting bosses 13 can prevent the template assembly 2 from exceeding the predetermined range during rotation, thereby improving the stability and safety of the mold.

[0041] A connector 14 is mounted on the base plate 1, and a spring 15 is fitted over the connector 14. The spring 15 is designed to provide a certain degree of elastic cushioning, reducing the impact force on the mold during use.

[0042] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0043] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
