Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air spring vulcanization technology, specifically to an air spring vulcanization apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In practical production applications, traditional air spring vulcanizing equipment suffers from limitations in structural design and functional configuration, making it difficult to meet the demands of efficient, precise, and safe vulcanization production. The core issues lie in three key areas: the loading and unloading of the parts to be shaped, the control of the forming mold's lifting and lowering, and the stability of the support. Specific defects are as follows: First, the loading and unloading of materials rely on manual operation, which limits both efficiency and safety. At the same time, when manually placing the parts to be shaped, it is impossible to guarantee the precise alignment of the placement position each time, which can easily lead to the parts being shaped shifting or tilting, thus creating potential problems for the dimensional accuracy of the subsequent vulcanized products.

[0003] Secondly, the insufficient precision of the lifting control between the upper and lower forming molds and the docking deviation directly affect the product forming quality, making it impossible for the part to be shaped to fit evenly into the mold cavity during vulcanization, ultimately leading to problems such as out-of-tolerance dimensions and irregular shapes in the product.

[0004] Finally, the lack of stability in the molding die supports exacerbates the fluctuations in product quality consistency. Differences in thickness and inconsistent vulcanization levels are likely to occur between products in the same batch, seriously affecting product quality consistency.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air spring vulcanizing fixture that integrates automated pickup components, a precise drive lifting structure, and a stable support system to solve the technical bottlenecks of traditional fixtures in terms of production efficiency, operational safety, molding accuracy, and support stability, and to meet the high-quality and continuous requirements of air spring vulcanization production. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides an air spring vulcanizing apparatus to solve the problems of low efficiency and poor safety caused by manual loading and unloading in the traditional air spring vulcanizing process, as well as inaccurate lifting control of the upper and lower forming molds and insufficient support stability, which in turn affect the accuracy and consistency of the vulcanized products.

The positioning screws are movably passed through the positioning grooves and are threadedly connected to the nuts.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning post is fixedly connected to the top of the lower forming mold, and a limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the upper forming mold, with the positioning post corresponding to the upper and lower limiting grooves.

This improves loading and unloading efficiency and avoids the safety hazards of manual operation. Furthermore, the shaping components inside the lower forming mold work in conjunction with the upper and lower forming molds to provide a stable molding environment for the air spring vulcanization, helping to improve the precision and quality consistency of vulcanized air spring products. This solves the problems of low efficiency and poor safety due to manual loading and unloading in traditional air spring vulcanization processes, as well as inaccurate control of the lifting of the upper and lower forming molds and insufficient support stability, which ultimately affect the precision and consistency of vulcanized products.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model discloses an air spring vulcanizing apparatus, including a support frame 1, a lifting plate 4 provided on the support frame 1 via an electric push rod 3, and an upper forming mold 5 installed on the lifting plate 4; A lifting cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 1 via a support plate 6. A support beam 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 7. A lower forming mold 9 is provided on the support beam 8. A shaping component fixed to the support beam 8 is provided inside the lower forming mold 9. The support frame 1 is also equipped with a picking component for loading and unloading parts to be shaped.

[0023] Specifically, the shaping component includes a shaping capsule 10, a mounting member 11, and a venting valve 12. The shaping capsule 10 is fixed to the top of the mounting member 11, and the venting valve 12 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting member 11. The venting valve 12 passes through the mounting member 11 and communicates with the interior of the shaping capsule 10. Mounting component 11 is mounted on support beam 8 by screws, and vent valve 12 moves through support beam 8 and extends below support beam 8.

[0024] In this embodiment, air can be injected into the shaping capsule 10 through the air valve 12. The shaping capsule is a commonly used molding tool in the field. After the shaping capsule enters the compressed air through the air valve 12, it expands outward under the action of internal pressure, causing the blank to be shaped to be expanded and deformed. Due to the limitation of the outer mold, it is finally shaped into the shape of the inner cavity of the outer mold, achieving the required effect.

[0025] Specifically, the shaping capsule 10 is equipped with a heating wire 13 inside, and the heating wire 13 is connected to an external power supply device through the mounting component 11.

[0026] Heating tubes 14 are integrated inside both the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9, and the heating tubes 14 are connected to an external hot water supply device.

[0027] In this embodiment, the heating wire 13 and the heating tube 14 can heat the part to be shaped, thereby accelerating the sizing and vulcanization process.

[0028] Specifically, positioning screws 15 are fixedly connected to both the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9, and positioning grooves 16 are opened on both the lifting plate 4 and the support beam 8. The positioning screws 15 move through the positioning grooves 16 and are threadedly connected to the nuts.

[0029] In this embodiment, the positioning screw 15 and the positioning groove 16 can be used to install and fix the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9.

[0030] Specifically, the top of the lower forming mold 9 is fixedly connected with a positioning post 17, and the bottom of the upper forming mold 5 is provided with a limiting groove 18, with the positioning post 17 corresponding to the limiting groove 18 one-to-one.

[0031] In this embodiment, the positioning pins 17 and the limiting grooves 18 are in one-to-one correspondence, which can realize the upper and lower limits of the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9.

[0032] Specifically, the pickup assembly includes a rotary motor 19 fixed on the support frame 1. The output shaft of the rotary motor 19 is fixedly connected to the electric support lifting rod 20. An electric telescopic rod 2 is fixedly connected to the electric support lifting rod 20, and a suction cup 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric telescopic rod 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the suction cup 21 can be used to pick up and put in the part to be shaped.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9 can be fixed by inserting the positioning screw 15 into the positioning groove 16 and then fixing it with a nut. In addition, the mounting part 11 can be fixed to the support beam 8 with screws. The vent valve 12 passes through the support beam 8 and is connected to the gas supply equipment. At the same time, the heating wire 13 is connected to the power supply equipment through the mounting part 11, which can be done through a socket.

[0035] The suction cup 21 generates suction through an external negative pressure vacuum device to fix the part to be shaped. Then, the rotating motor 19 starts, driving the electric telescopic rod 2 to rotate via the electric support lifting rod 20. The electric telescopic rod 2 then extends, placing the part to be shaped in the predetermined position. Next, the lifting cylinder 7 drives the support beam 8 upward, allowing the shaping component to enter the part to be shaped. The support beam 8 then supports the part, and finally, the suction cup 21 returns to its original position.

[0036] The electric push rod 3 drives the lifting plate 4 downward, causing the upper forming mold 5 to connect with the lower forming mold 9 via the positioning pin 17 and the limiting groove 18. Then, the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9 are heated internally by the heating tube 14, while the heating wire 13 also heats up. It should be noted that the shaping capsule 10 has a receiving groove inside, and the heating wire 13 is bent and placed inside the receiving groove. When the shaping capsule 10 is inflated, the heating wire 13 fully unfolds, heating the shaping capsule 10. This, in conjunction with the shaping capsule 10, allows the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9 to achieve the vulcanization and shaping of the part to be shaped. After completion, the upper forming mold 5 and the lower forming mold 9 are opened, and the formed part is removed using the suction cup 21.
