Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mold measurement technology, and specifically relates to an optical projector for measuring the dimensions of injection molds. Background Technology

[0002] Optical projectors are precision measuring instruments that integrate optics, mechanics, electronics, and computing. They are widely used in metrology rooms and workshops of factories and mines in the machinery manufacturing, instrumentation, watchmaking, and electronics industries. They can efficiently detect the contours and surface shapes of various complex workpieces, such as templates, stampings, cams, threads, gears, forming milling cutters, taps, and other cutting tools and parts.

[0003] In the existing technology, when measuring the dimensions of some injection molds with irregular contours, the existing measuring instruments cannot measure them from multiple angles. Furthermore, if the mold is not clamped securely enough during the measurement, the measurement data will be inaccurate, making it impossible to determine the overall dimensions. This requires manual adjustment, which affects the work efficiency.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes an optical projector for measuring the size of injection molds, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is an optical projector for measuring the size of injection molds, including a body, an operating table installed on one side of the body, a moving component installed on the operating table, a placement platform installed on the operating table, a measuring lens installed on the moving component, and a fixing component installed on the placement platform.

[0008] The placement platform is used to place the mold, the fixing component is used to fix the mold, and the machine body can control the movement of the moving component to enable the measuring lens to be adjusted in multiple dimensions.

[0009] Furthermore, the moving component includes a circular ring with a circular groove, in which a first electronic sliding block is slidably mounted, and an arc-shaped rod is mounted on the first electronic sliding block.

[0010] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the arc-shaped rod, and a second electronic sliding block is slidably installed in the arc-shaped groove. The measuring lens is installed on the lower surface of the second electronic sliding block.

[0011] Furthermore, the placement platform has several sliding grooves evenly distributed on its four sides, and the fixing component includes several clamping plates, each of which is slidably installed in its sliding groove, and each clamping plate is equipped with a rubber pad.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing assembly also includes a fixing shell, which is installed at the center of the lower surface of the placement platform. Fixing posts are installed on all four sides of the fixing shell corresponding to the sliding groove. One end of each fixing post is installed on a fixing plate, and a first spring is installed around the fixing post on the fixing plate. One end of the first spring is in contact with the clamping plate.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the clamping plates is equipped with a rack at its upper end, and a fixing frame is movably mounted through the rack. The lower end of the fixing frame is mounted on the upper surface of the placement platform, and a support frame is mounted at the upper end of the fixing frame. A sliding column is mounted through the support frame, and a second spring is mounted around the sliding column. A locking block that extends into the rack and engages with it is mounted at the lower end of the sliding column, and a handle is mounted at the upper end of the sliding column.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a fixing component to secure the mold on the placement platform, ensuring stable placement and accurate measurement. Furthermore, the movable component can be controlled by the machine body to move the mold, allowing for multi-dimensional and multi-angle adjustments to the position of the measuring lens. This enables the measurement of molds with irregular contours without the need for manual adjustments, resulting in accurate measurement data, flexible measurement capabilities, and improved work efficiency.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through the installation of a clamping plate, allows the clamping block to disengage from the rack when the mold needs to be placed. This is achieved by pulling the handle, causing the clamping plate to automatically contact the mold surface via the first spring. Subsequently, by no longer contacting the handle, the clamping block re-enters the corresponding teeth of the rack via the second spring installed on the sliding column, thereby fixing the position of the clamping plate and firmly securing the mold to its placement platform. When the mold needs to be removed, the handle is pulled again, causing the clamping plate to no longer be in a fixed state. Thus, this device can stably clamp the mold, ensuring accurate measurement data, and also allows for flexible mold disassembly. The clamping operation is convenient and saves time.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is an optical projector for measuring the size of injection molds, including a body 1, an operating table 2 installed on one side of the body 1, a moving component 3 installed on the operating table 2, a placement platform 4 installed on the operating table 2, a measuring lens 5 installed on the moving component 3, and a fixing component 6 installed on the placement platform 4.

[0030] The placement platform 4 is used to place the mold, the fixing component 6 is used to fix the mold, and the machine body 1 can control the movement component 3 to move so that the measuring lens 5 can be adjusted in multiple dimensions.

[0031] In practical use, the mold can be placed on the placement platform 4 and locked firmly by adjusting the fixing component 6 to prevent it from loosening. Then, the moving component 3 is moved by the machine body 1, so that the measuring lens 5 can be adjusted in multiple dimensions to measure the size of the mold on the placement platform 4, thereby making the measurement accurate and enabling multi-dimensional measurement.

[0032] This invention uses a fixing component 6 to secure the mold to the placement platform 4, ensuring stable placement and accurate measurement. Furthermore, the moving component 3 can be controlled by the machine body 1 to move, allowing for multi-dimensional and multi-angle adjustments to the position of the measuring lens 5. This enables the measurement of molds with irregular contours without the need for manual adjustments, resulting in accurate measurement data, flexible measurement capabilities, and improved work efficiency.

[0033] In one embodiment, the moving component 3 includes a circular ring 7, on which a circular groove 8 is provided, and a first electronic sliding block 9 is slidably installed in the circular groove 8, and an arc-shaped rod 10 is installed on the first electronic sliding block 9.

[0034] The first electronic sliding block 9 can slide within the circular groove 8 on the circular ring 7, thereby driving the arc rod 10 to move, so as to measure the mold from multiple angles. The operation is simple, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned arc-shaped rod 10, an arc-shaped groove 11 is provided on the arc-shaped rod 10, and a second electronic sliding block 12 is slidably installed in the arc-shaped groove 11, and the measuring lens 5 is installed on the lower surface of the second electronic sliding block 12.

[0036] When the position of the measuring lens 5 needs to be adjusted, the arc rod 10 can be moved by controlling the body 1, and the second electronic sliding block 12 on the arc rod 10 can also be moved, so that the measuring lens 5 can be changed arbitrarily to measure the size of any surface of the mold. This makes the device applicable to a wide range of scenarios and can accurately measure molds with irregular contours.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned placement platform 4, a plurality of sliding grooves 13 are evenly provided on the four sides of the placement platform 4, and the fixing component 6 includes a plurality of clamping plates 14, each of which is slidably installed in the sliding grooves 13, and a rubber pad 15 is installed on the clamping plate 14.

[0038] After the mold is placed on the placement platform 4, the clamping plate 14 can be engaged through the slide groove 13 to fix the mold on its surface. The rubber pad 15 installed on the surface of the clamping plate 14 that contacts the mold can protect the mold, thereby fixing the mold and preventing damage or scratches to its surface.

[0039] In one embodiment, the fixing component 6 further includes a fixing shell 16, which is installed at the center of the lower surface of the placement platform 4. Fixing posts 17 are installed on all four sides of the fixing shell 16 corresponding to the sliding groove 13. One end of the fixing post 17 is installed on the fixing plate 18, and a first spring 19 is installed around the fixing post 17 on the fixing plate 18. One end of the first spring 19 is in contact with the clamping plate 14.

[0040] By mounting the clamping plate 14 on its fixing post 17 at its lower end, the clamping plate 14 can quickly clamp the mold placed on it through the extension and retraction of the first spring 19 on its fixing post 17, so that it can be clamped and fixed automatically without manual adjustment.

[0041] In one embodiment, for the clamping plate 14, a rack 20 is installed on the upper end of the clamping plate 14, a fixing frame 21 is movably installed through the rack 20, the lower end of the fixing frame 21 is installed on the upper surface of the placement platform 4, a support frame 22 is installed on the upper end of the fixing frame 21, a sliding column 23 is installed through the support frame 22, a second spring 24 is installed around the sliding column 23, a locking block 25 that extends into the rack 20 and can engage with it is installed on the lower end of the sliding column 23, and a handle 26 is installed on the upper end of the sliding column 23.

[0042] When the mold needs to be placed, the handle 26 can be pulled to de-engage the locking block 25 with the rack 20, allowing the clamping plate 14 to contact the mold surface via the first spring 19. Then, by no longer contacting the handle 26, the locking block 25 re-enters the corresponding teeth of the rack 20 via the second spring 24 installed on the sliding column 23, thereby fixing the position of the clamping plate 14 and firmly fixing the mold on its placement table 4. When the mold needs to be removed, the handle 26 can be pulled again to release the clamping plate 14 from its fixed state. This allows the device to firmly clamp the mold, ensuring accurate measurement data and flexible mold disassembly, making clamping operations convenient and saving time.

[0043] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, by placing the mold on its placement platform 4 and pulling the handle 26, the locking block 25 is no longer engaged with the rack 20, causing the clamping plate 14 to slide within the slide groove 13 via the first spring 19, and autonomously contact the mold surface. Subsequently, by no longer contacting the handle 26, the locking block 25 re-enters the corresponding teeth of the rack 20 via the second spring 24 installed on the sliding column 23, thereby fixing the position of the clamping plate 14 and firmly fixing the mold on its placement platform 4. The measuring lens 5 is used to measure... It performs dimensional measurements, and when the mold needs to be removed, the handle 26 is pulled to loosen the clamping plate 14. When the position of the measuring lens 5 needs to be adjusted, the first electronic sliding block 9 can be controlled by the body 1 to slide within the circular groove 8, driving the arc rod 10 to move. The second electronic sliding block 12 on the arc rod 10 can also be controlled to slide, so that the measuring lens 5 can be arbitrarily changed to measure the dimensions of any surface of the mold. This makes the device suitable for a wide range of applications and enables accurate measurement of molds with irregular contours.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, 1. the mold can be fixed on the placement platform 4 by the fixing component 6, so that the mold is placed stably and can be accurately measured. Furthermore, the moving component 3 can be controlled by the body 1 to move, thereby allowing the position of the measuring lens 5 to be changed in multiple dimensions and angles. This allows for the measurement of molds with irregular contours without the need for manual adjustments, ensuring accurate measurement data, flexible measurement capabilities, and improved work efficiency. Secondly, by using the installed clamping plate 14, when placing the mold, pulling the handle 26 disengages the locking block 25 from the rack 20, allowing the clamping plate 14 to automatically contact the mold surface via the first spring 19. Then, by no longer contacting the handle 26, the locking block 25 re-enters the corresponding teeth of the rack 20 via the second spring 24 installed on the sliding column 23, thus fixing the position of the clamping plate 14 and firmly securing the mold to its placement platform 4. When removing the mold, pulling the handle 26 again releases the clamping plate 14, ensuring the device can stably hold the mold, resulting in accurate measurement data and flexible mold disassembly. This convenient clamping operation saves time.
