[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a dual mold supply mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A mold is a set of molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain desired products through methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting, forging, smelting, and stamping. In short, a mold is a tool used to create shaped objects; this tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts.

[0003] In the process of motor manufacturing, different molds are required to stamp flat wires. However, the existing mold supply mechanism has the technical problem of low switching efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual mold supply mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problem of low switching efficiency in existing mold supply mechanisms.

[0005] This application provides a dual mold supply mechanism, including a frame and two support frames. The frame has a first direction, a second direction, and a vertical direction that are perpendicular to each other. The two support frames are slidably mounted on opposite sides of the frame in the second direction. Each support frame is equipped with a longitudinal drive and a lifting drive. The longitudinal drive drives the support frame to slide along the first direction on the frame. The output end of the lifting drive is connected to a clamp, and the lifting drive drives the clamp to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0006] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with longitudinal slide rails extending along the first direction on both opposite sides in the second direction, and the support frame is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide rails.

[0007] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with racks on opposite sides in the second direction, the racks are parallel to the longitudinal slide rail, and the output end of the longitudinal drive member is connected to a drive gear, which meshes with the racks.

[0008] In one embodiment, the frame is provided with two longitudinal slide rails on each side in the second direction; on the same side of the frame, the rack is located between the two longitudinal slide rails.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support frame is equipped with a rotatable driven gear that meshes with the rack, and the driven gear and the driving gear are spaced apart.

[0010] In one embodiment, the driving gear is located at the middle of the support frame in the first direction, and the support frame is configured with two driven gears, with the driving gear located between the two driven gears.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support frame is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide rail by sliders, and each longitudinal slide rail is configured with a plurality of sliders spaced apart along the first direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, each of the support frames is configured with two of the lifting drive components, and the output end of each of the lifting drive components is connected to the clamp.

[0013] In one embodiment, in the first direction of each of the support frames, the longitudinal drive member is located between the two lifting drive members.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clamp has two grippers that either come together or separate from each other along the second direction.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the dual mold supply mechanism provided by this utility model are as follows: the support frame on one side of the frame slides along the first direction, and the clamp picks up the mold to be replaced. The lifting drive drives the clamp and the mold to rise. The support frame on the other side of the frame slides along the first direction, and the lifting drive lowers the clamp and the mold it holds, thereby realizing the mold switching and enabling parallel operation on both sides of the frame. Theoretically, the switching efficiency can be increased by more than 50%.

[0027] For ease of description, we define three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes in space as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. The direction along the X-axis is vertical, the direction along the Y-axis is horizontal, and the direction along the Z-axis is vertical. The X-axis and Y-axis are two mutually perpendicular coordinate axes on the same horizontal plane, and the Z-axis is the vertical coordinate axis. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis lie on three mutually perpendicular planes in space: the XY-plane, the YZ-plane, and the XZ-plane. The XY-plane is horizontal, and the XZ-plane and YZ-plane are both vertical, with the XZ-plane perpendicular to the YZ-plane. Movement along these three axes in space refers to movement along the three mutually perpendicular axes in space, specifically movement along the X, Y, and Z axes. Planar movement, on the other hand, refers to movement within the XY-plane.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dual mold supply mechanism in the embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0029] This application provides a dual mold supply mechanism, including a frame 100 and two support frames 200. The frame 100 has a first direction X, a second direction Y and a vertical direction Z that are perpendicular to each other. The two support frames 200 are slidably mounted on opposite sides of the frame 100 in the second direction Y. Each support frame 200 is equipped with a longitudinal drive member 310 and a lifting drive member 320. The longitudinal drive member 310 drives the support frame 200 to slide along the first direction X on the frame 100. The output end of the lifting drive member 320 is connected to a clamp 330. The lifting drive member 320 drives the clamp 330 to move up and down in the vertical direction Z.

[0030] In this design, a support frame 200 on one side of the frame 100 slides along the first direction X via a longitudinal drive member 310, and a clamp 330 grips the mold 10 to be replaced. A lifting drive member 320 raises the clamp 330 and the mold 10. Meanwhile, a support frame 200 on the other side of the frame 100 slides along the first direction X via the longitudinal drive member 310, and the lifting drive member 320 lowers the clamp 330 and the clamped mold 10, thus enabling mold 10 switching. This allows for parallel operation on both sides of the frame 100, improving switching efficiency. The two support frames 200 are integrated on both sides of the same frame 100, and the movement path of both support frames 200 extends along the first direction X, eliminating the need for additional lateral space and improving production efficiency per unit space.

[0031] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The frame 100 has longitudinal slide rails 110 extending along the first direction X on both opposite sides in the second direction Y. The support frame 200 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide rails 110. The longitudinal slide rails 110 can rigidly constrain the sliding trajectory of the support frame 200, completely eliminating movement along the vertical direction Z. The weight of the support frame 200 (including the weight of the mold 10) is evenly transferred to the slide rails, and then from the slide rails to the frame 100, reducing the load on the longitudinal drive component 310.

[0032] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 100 has racks 120 on opposite sides in the second direction Y. The racks 120 are parallel to the longitudinal slide rail 110. The output end of the longitudinal drive component 310 is connected to a drive gear 311, which meshes with the racks 120. The transmission ratio between the drive gear 311 and the rack 120 is determined by the number of teeth of the drive gear 311 and the tooth pitch of the rack 120, and there is no slippage during transmission. The drive gear 311 and the rack 120 transmit power through tooth surface meshing. The tooth surface contact area is large (compared to the thread surface of the lead screw and the friction surface of the belt), which can evenly distribute the weight of the mold 10 and the driving torque to multiple teeth, avoiding wear or breakage caused by excessive force on a single contact point, and ensuring safe operation.

[0033] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 100 has two longitudinal slide rails 110 on each side in the second direction Y. When the lifting drive 320 moves the mold 10 up or down, or the longitudinal drive 310 moves the mold 10 to slide, the gravity of the mold 10 will generate a tilting moment on the support frame 200. The double slide rails can distribute the tilting moment to the sliders 210 of the two slide rails. By balancing the moment through the double-sided support reaction force, even if the center of gravity of the mold 10 is offset to a certain extent, the support frame 200 can be prevented from tilting.

[0034] Specifically, on the same side of the frame 100, the rack 120 is located between two longitudinal slide rails 110. The support frame 200 is driven to move along the first direction X by the meshing of the drive gear 311 and the rack 120. The rack 120 is supported by slide rails on both sides of the vertical direction Z, which improves the sliding stability in the first direction X.

[0035] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3The support frame 200 is equipped with a rotatable driven gear 220, which meshes with the rack 120. The driven gear 220 and the driving gear 311 are spaced apart. The driving gear 311 and the driven gear 220 share the radial and circumferential forces generated by the load. The driving gear 311 provides the driving force, and the driven gear 220 forces the driving gear 311 to always be in contact with the tooth surface of the rack 120, which greatly reduces the change in meshing clearance caused by load fluctuations or vibrations.

[0036] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 The driving gear 311 is located in the middle of the support frame 200 in the first direction X. The support frame 200 is equipped with two driven gears 220, and the driving gear 311 is located between the two driven gears 220. The driving force output by the driving gear 311 is located in the center, and the load reaction forces shared by the driven gears 220 on both sides are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, forming a force balance. This can counteract the eccentric torque generated by the load offset, ensuring that the support frame 200 always slides in a translational posture.

[0037] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support frame 200 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide rail 110 via sliders 210. Each longitudinal slide rail 110 is configured with multiple sliders 210 spaced apart along the first direction X. The multiple sliders 210 distribute the load and prevent local overload of the slide rail.

[0038] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each support frame 200 is equipped with two lifting drive components 320, and the output end of each lifting drive component 320 is connected to a clamp 330. By configuring two lifting drive components 320 for each support frame 200, and each drive component's output end is connected to a clamp 330, one support frame 200 can transport two molds 10, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the molds 10.

[0039] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first direction X of each support frame 200, the longitudinal drive member 310 is located between the two lifting drive members 320. The point of application of the longitudinal driving force and the force points of the two lifting drive members 320 form a symmetrical triangular support, and the load borne by the longitudinal slide rails 110 and sliders 210 on both sides is completely balanced, ensuring that the support frame 200 always maintains a horizontal posture when moving longitudinally.

[0040] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The top of the clamp 330 is connected to a guide rod 321, which is vertically and slidably mounted on the support frame 200. Thus, during the lifting drive 320 driving the clamp 330 to perform lifting and lowering movements, the guide rod 321 plays a guiding role.

[0041] In one embodiment, the clamp 330 has two jaws 331 that can close or separate along a second direction Y. The two jaws 331 close to reduce the distance between them, ensuring that the mold 10 is clamped, and can be adapted to molds 10 of different sizes.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
