Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam mold steel wire positioning technology, and in particular to a novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire. Background Technology

[0002] In foam molding, steel wires are primarily used to secure the foam to the outer skin, providing lateral fixation and reinforcement. Magnetic positioning is commonly used in foam molds for this purpose, particularly for PE reinforcing blocks. However, this method is unsuitable for steel wires because they cannot achieve perfect contact with the mold, and their rotation during casting causes positional shifts, resulting in waste foam and impacting production. Therefore, a chuck-type positioning device is needed to limit the steel wire's movement. However, this chuck-type device can interfere with demolding at the mold release station, causing foam tearing and generating significant waste. These issues urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire, comprising:

[0006] A foam mold, which includes positioning holes and a receiving cavity, with the positioning holes and positioning posts being set accordingly;

[0007] The control module is connected to the drive mechanism;

[0008] The drive mechanism drives the positioning pin to extend into or retract from the receiving cavity through the positioning hole. The positioning pin is used to position the steel wire within the receiving cavity. The control module controls the movement of the positioning pin through the positioning hole into or retract from the receiving cavity via the drive mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder, which includes a cylinder body and a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is connected to a positioning post.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning post includes a positioning sleeve, which is fitted onto the positioning post when the driving mechanism drives the positioning post to extend into the receiving cavity through the positioning hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning sleeve includes a positioning groove, which is correspondingly set with the steel wire.

[0012] Furthermore, the novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire includes multiple driving mechanisms and corresponding multiple positioning posts. The foam mold is provided with multiple positioning holes, which are respectively set with multiple positioning posts, and the multiple positioning posts are respectively set with the shape of the steel wire and the arrangement position of the steel wire.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the positioning column can position the steel wire in the foam mold, and the positioning column can be retracted after the foam is poured to avoid foam tearing, thereby reducing the scrap rate of the product and improving the quality of the product.

[0018] 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.

In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Please refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. This utility model provides a technical solution as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire includes:

[0022] The drive mechanism and the positioning column 10 are connected together.

[0023] Foam mold 20 includes positioning hole 21 and receiving cavity 22, with positioning hole 21 correspondingly provided with positioning post 10;

[0024] The control module is connected to the drive mechanism;

[0025] The drive mechanism drives the positioning column 10 to extend into or retract from the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21. The positioning column 10 is used to position the steel wire 30 within the receiving cavity 22. The control module controls the movement of the positioning column 10 through the positioning hole 21 into or retract from the receiving cavity 22 via the drive mechanism.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the preferred control module is a PLC controller. When placing the insert, the PLC controller controls the positioning pin 10 to extend into the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21 via the drive mechanism. The steel wire 30 is placed into the receiving cavity 22 and positioned by the positioning pin 10. At the demolding station, the operator controls the drive mechanism via the PLC controller to drive the positioning pin 10 to retract out of the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21. The operator then demolds the insert. After demolding, the operator controls the drive mechanism via the PLC controller to drive the positioning pin 10 to extend into the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21. Then, the insert enters the next station, and the production line circulates. Because the flat and smooth surface of the positioning pin 10 will not interfere with the steel wire 30 and is not easy to stick to the foam, the demolding tearing problem is solved.

[0027] At the same time, this device expands the application range of steel wire while ensuring the normal production and operation of the production line.

[0028] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder 40, which includes a cylinder body 41 and a telescopic rod 42, the telescopic rod 42 being connected to the positioning post 10.

[0029] In the above embodiments, the cylinder 40 is preferably used as the driving mechanism to drive the positioning pin 10 to extend into or retract from the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21.

[0030] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positioning post 10 includes a positioning sleeve 11. When the driving mechanism drives the positioning post 10 to extend into the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21, the positioning sleeve 11 is fitted onto the positioning post 10.

[0031] In the above embodiment, a positioning sleeve 11 is preferably provided. When the driving mechanism drives the positioning pin 10 to extend into the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21, the positioning sleeve 11 is placed on the positioning pin 10. The positioning pin 10 and the positioning sleeve 11 are slidably connected. At the mold release station, the operator controls the driving mechanism through the PLC controller to drive the positioning pin 10 to retract out of the receiving cavity 22 through the positioning hole 21. The positioning pin 10 and the positioning sleeve 11 slide, and the positioning sleeve 11 remains inside the foam-cast product, thereby preventing the positioning pin 10 from sticking to the cast foam.

[0032] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning sleeve 11 includes a positioning groove 111, which is correspondingly provided with the steel wire 30.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the positioning sleeve 11 is provided with a positioning groove 111. Before foam pouring, the steel wire 30 is inserted into the positioning groove 111 to prevent the steel wire from moving.

[0034] Optionally, the novel lateral positioning device for foam mold steel wire includes multiple driving mechanisms and corresponding multiple positioning posts 10. The foam mold 20 is provided with multiple positioning holes 21, which are respectively set with the multiple positioning posts 10. The multiple positioning posts 10 are respectively set with the shape of the steel wire 30 and the arrangement position of the steel wire 30.

[0035] In the above embodiment, multiple positioning posts 10 are respectively disposed in the receiving cavity, and their positions correspond to the shape of the steel wire 30 and the arrangement position of the steel wire 30, thereby ensuring that the steel wire 30 is stably fixed in the receiving cavity 22.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
