Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold processing equipment technology, specifically a clamping device for processing mold steel. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mold steel processing, the performance of clamping devices has a significant impact on processing accuracy and efficiency, but existing technologies have many shortcomings:
[0003] Traditional lateral adjustment relies heavily on manual lead screws or simple motor drives, resulting in poor adjustment accuracy (e.g., adjustment error exceeding 0.5mm). This makes it difficult to meet the high-precision machining requirements of mold steel (e.g., precision mold parts require clamping position accuracy within ±0.1mm), easily leading to dimensional deviations and increasing scrap rates. 2. Clamping transmission relies on ordinary belts / chains, and speed differences between the left and right transmission components are prone to occur (e.g., belt slippage on one side, chain loosening), causing the clamping plate to "deviate," resulting in skewed clamping of the mold steel, uneven force during machining, and surface scratches on the mold. Problems include: 1. Asymmetric processing features; 2. Simple guide structure of height adjustment components (such as ordinary slide rail + slider), which is prone to jamming and tilting when pushing the block to rise and fall, and cannot stably support the mold steel (especially heavy steel, such as mold blanks weighing over 100kg), resulting in height deviation during processing, affecting the vertical accuracy of milling, drilling and other processes; 3. Hard contact between clamping plate and limit plate and steel (such as direct metal collision), the surface of mold steel is easily scratched and dented, damaging the surface accuracy (such as mold polished surface, nitrided layer), and subsequent repair costs are high and the cycle is long.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a clamping device for processing mold steel to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] In addressing the problems of insufficient adjustment precision, poor clamping stability, easy damage to the steel surface, and unsmooth height adjustment in existing mold steel processing clamping devices, this utility model provides a clamping device for mold steel processing. By optimizing the lateral adjustment, clamping transmission, height adjustment, and protective structure, it achieves precise clamping and stable processing of mold steel, adapts to different specifications of steel, and improves processing quality and efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A clamping device for processing mold steel is comprised of a fixed frame, a processing platform, a clamping transmission assembly, a lateral adjustment assembly, a fixed table, a height adjustment assembly, and a placement table. The components work together to meet the processing requirements of clamping, adjusting the position, and adapting the height of the mold steel.
[0008] Furthermore, the lateral adjustment component adopts a transmission scheme of "screw nut seat + transmission screw + pulley - transmission belt + motor": a screw nut seat is set at the bottom of the fixed platform, through which the transmission screw runs. The transmission screw is connected to the second pulley on one axial side, and is linked to the first pulley via the first transmission belt. The first pulley is driven by the first motor.
[0009] With the above technical solution, the first motor operates, and the power is transmitted through the pulley and transmission belt, which drives the transmission screw to rotate. The screw nut seat moves along the axial direction of the transmission screw, realizing the lateral position adjustment of the fixed platform and the upper components, and accurately adapting to the clamping requirements of mold steel of different widths.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping transmission assembly constructs a clamping system consisting of "a third transmission belt + multiple pulleys (sixth, fourth, fifth, and third pulleys) + transmission rod + motor + belt engagement seat + adjustable clamping plate": the machining platform has a third transmission belt on both sides of the longer side, connecting the sixth and fourth pulleys at the beginning and end; the fourth pulley is connected to the transmission rod, and the fifth pulley on the transmission rod is linked to the second motor of the third pulley via the second transmission belt; the left and right sides of the third transmission belt have internal engagement belt engagement seats, and the two belt engagement seats are connected by an adjustable clamping plate; the top of the machining platform has a matching limiting plate;
[0011] With the above technical solution, the second motor starts, and the power is transmitted through multiple pulleys and transmission belts to drive the third transmission belt to rotate. The belt engagement seat moves with the belt, which drives the adjustable clamping plate to perform clamping / releasing actions on the mold steel. The limit plate helps to limit the position of the steel to ensure stable clamping.
[0012] Furthermore, the height adjustment component is designed with a height adjustment structure of "height adjustment cylinder + push block + dovetail groove - slide rail + connecting column": the height adjustment cylinder is installed on the side of the fixed platform, and its output end is connected to the push block. The top of the push block is connected to the bottom of the platform via the connecting column; the back of the push block is provided with a dovetail groove structure slide rail, and the side of the fixed platform is paired with a corresponding slide rail, and the two are slidably connected.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the cylinder extension and retraction are adjusted to push the block to slide stably along the dovetail groove-slide rail. The connecting column drives the placement platform and the mold steel above to rise and fall, adapting to the height requirements of different processing procedures. The dovetail groove structure ensures that the lifting process is smooth and does not deviate.
[0014] Furthermore, a 2-4mm thick polyurethane buffer strip is installed on the side of the limiting plate facing the adjustable clamping plate and fixed with countersunk screws;
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the buffer strip can absorb the impact force at the moment of clamping, avoid damage to the surface of the mold steel due to hard contact, and protect the precision of the steel.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This utility model, through the design of a clamping device for processing mold steel, achieves the following effects: 1. By employing a precision fit between a lead screw nut seat and a transmission lead screw, coupled with motor drive, manual / simple adjustment is replaced, improving the lateral adjustment accuracy to within ±0.1mm. This meets the clamping accuracy requirements of precision mold steel (such as injection mold inserts and automotive mold cavity plates), reducing processing scrap due to positional deviations. The motor drive replaces manual adjustment, reducing lateral adjustment time from 5-10 minutes to 1-2 minutes. It is suitable for mold steel of different widths (adjustment range covering 50-500mm), increasing production line changeover efficiency by over 60%, and supporting multi-variety, small-batch mold processing scenarios. 2. The synchronous pulley + transmission belt transmission structure ensures the synchronous movement of the left and right clamping plates, ensuring precise centering of the mold steel after clamping. This results in uniform force distribution during processing, avoiding surface defects caused by misalignment. Scratching and machining feature misalignment (such as mold cavity misalignment) are prevented, ensuring the accuracy of key mold dimensions (such as cavity depth and insert slot position) and improving mold assembly pass rate; the flexible transmission of belt engagement seat + adjustable clamping plate replaces hard connection clamping, reducing the risk of scratches and indentations on the steel surface, especially suitable for high-precision mold steel (such as polished and nitrided mold parts), reducing surface repair costs; 3. Dovetail groove guide structure + cylinder drive, pushing block to lift smoothly, can stably support heavy mold steel (such as 100-200kg blanks), ensuring the vertical accuracy of milling, drilling and other processes, and improving the positional accuracy of mold machining features (such as the verticality of mold cooling holes and ejector pin holes); cylinder drive enables rapid height adjustment, adapting to the height requirements of different processes such as milling (requiring the steel to be close to the tool) and inspection (requiring the steel to be close to the inspection head), shortening the overall mold processing cycle.

[0039] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using the clamping device for processing mold steel, the mold steel to be processed is first placed on the placement platform 7. The placement platform 7 is connected to the fixed platform 5 through the height adjustment component 6, and the height can be adjusted according to processing requirements. The height adjustment cylinder 61 in the height adjustment component 6 is activated. The output end of the height adjustment cylinder 61 pushes the push block 62.

[0040] Then, the first motor 46 is started, which drives the first pulley 45 to rotate. The first pulley 45 drives the second pulley 43 to rotate through the first transmission belt 44, which in turn causes the transmission screw 42 to rotate. The screw nut seat 41 moves on the transmission screw 42, which drives the fixed platform 5 and the mold steel on the placement platform 7 to adjust their lateral position.
[0041] The second motor 38 is started, which drives the third pulley 37 to rotate. The third pulley 37 drives the fifth pulley 35 to rotate through the second transmission belt 36. The transmission rod 34 rotates with the fifth pulley 35, which in turn causes the fourth pulley 33 to rotate.

The third transmission belts 31 on the left and right sides drive the belt engagement seat 8 to move, so that the adjustable clamping plate 9 moves towards the limiting plate 10 until the mold steel is clamped and fixed. The polyurethane buffer strip on the limiting plate 10 can prevent the clamping impact from damaging the surface of the mold steel.
[0042] After processing is completed, the second motor 38 is started in reverse to loosen the mold steel by the adjustable clamping plate 9. Then, the placement table 7 is reset by the height adjustment component 6 and the horizontal adjustment component 4, and the processed mold steel is removed.
