Description

Technical Field

[0002] Die-casting mold positioning technology is a core element in ensuring the precision of die-cast parts and improving production efficiency, directly determining the stability of die-casting production and the product qualification rate. Currently, the die-casting industry still widely relies on the traditional method of using positioning keys in conjunction with manual adjustment to achieve mold positioning. Although this method is simple in structure and low in cost, and was once widely applicable in scenarios with conventional precision requirements, its inherent defects have become increasingly prominent as the requirements for dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerances of die-cast parts in high-end manufacturing fields continue to become more stringent. Traditional positioning methods are greatly affected by mechanical backlash and human operation errors, making it difficult to break through the bottleneck of positioning accuracy. Moreover, the manual adjustment process is cumbersome and time-consuming, significantly restricting the improvement of production cycle time and failing to meet the high precision and high efficiency requirements of modern die-casting production lines.

[0003] Currently, most methods involve machining matching keyways on the mold and die-casting machine template, and using mechanical keys for positioning. Specifically, matching keyways are machined on the mounting surface of the die-casting mold and the corresponding positions of the moving and stationary templates of the die-casting machine. Initial positioning of the mold and template is achieved by embedding standard-sized mechanical keys. However, during installation, the alignment of the mold and keyways needs to be manually and repeatedly calibrated. The whole process is time-consuming, resulting in a large amount of manual labor and reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0024] A bidirectional positioning device for die casting molds includes a mounting platform 1, which serves as the basic load-bearing component of the device, providing a stable installation and working space for the drive mechanism, positioning mechanism, and mold body 13, and ensuring the structural stability when the components work together.

[0025] The mounting platform 1 has a mounting slot 11 on its upper part to accommodate the mold body 13 and provide an insertion space for the positioning rod. The mounting platform 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism and a positioning mechanism. The drive mechanism is located below the positioning mechanism and provides power to the positioning mechanism to realize the automatic movement of the positioning rod.

[0026] The drive mechanism includes a drive rod 2. The lower end of the drive rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting platform 1 through a bearing, which can rotate stably and transmit power. A worm gear 21 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive rod 2, which is used to mesh with the worm 25 to realize power transmission and speed reduction. A drive disk 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive rod 2. The inclined groove 23 on its surface is used to squeeze the slide bar 34, converting the rotational motion of the drive rod 2 into the linear motion of the slide bar 34.

[0027] The upper end of the drive plate 22 is provided with inclined grooves 23 arranged in a ring array to provide a pressing path for the movement of the slide bar 34. The inner bottom wall of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 24, which serves as the power source of the drive mechanism and provides stable and precisely controllable rotational power. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 is fixedly installed with a worm gear 25 through a coupling. The outer surface of the worm gear 25 meshes with the tooth surface of the worm wheel 21. The power steering and speed reduction are realized through worm gear transmission, ensuring the smoothness and controllability of the rotation of the drive plate 22. The upper end of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly installed with a controller body 26, which is used to uniformly control the operation of the servo motor 24, the servo electric cylinder 38 and the pressure sensor to realize the automated positioning process.

[0028] The positioning mechanism includes a partition 3, the four sides of which are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the mounting platform 1, providing installation support for components such as the stroke block 32 and the guide rod 33. The upper end of the partition 3 is provided with stroke grooves 31 arranged in a ring array to provide guiding space for the sliding of the stroke block 32.

[0029] The inner wall of the travel groove 31 is slidably connected to a travel block 32, which can slide smoothly along the travel groove 31. The inner wall of the travel block 32 is slidably fitted with a guide rod 33. The two ends of the guide rod 33 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the travel groove 31, providing precise guidance for the sliding of the travel block 32 and ensuring that its movement trajectory is straight. The lower end of the travel block 32 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 34. The lower end of the slide rod 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inclined groove 23, and the movement of the travel block 32 is achieved by the extrusion of the inclined groove 23.

[0030] Two stroke blocks 32 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides with symmetrically distributed first pressure sensors 35, which are used to monitor the pressure when the first positioning rod 36 is inserted into the first positioning groove 14 of the mold body 13, to ensure that it is inserted in place and to avoid excessive squeezing and damage to the mold. The other side of the first pressure sensor 35 is fixedly connected to the first positioning rod 36, one end of which passes through and extends into the interior of the mounting groove 11, and is used to insert into the first positioning groove 14 of the mold body 13 to achieve positioning in the length direction of the mold.

[0031] The upper ends of the other two stroke blocks 32 are fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed mounting plates 37, which provide a mounting base for the servo electric cylinder 38. The upper end of the mounting plate 37 is fixedly mounted with the servo electric cylinder 38, which provides power for the movement of the second positioning rod 310. One end of the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 38 is fixedly mounted with a second pressure sensor 39, which is used to monitor the pressure when the second positioning rod 310 is inserted into the second positioning groove 15 of the mold body 13, so as to ensure the insertion accuracy and mold safety. One end of the second pressure sensor 39 is fixedly connected to the second positioning rod 310. One end of the second positioning rod 310 passes through and extends into the interior of the mounting groove 11, and is used to insert into the second positioning groove 15 of the mold body 13 to achieve positioning in the width direction of the mold.

[0032] A conical positioning block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove 11. The mold body 13 is movably inserted into the outside of the conical positioning block 12. The guiding effect of the conical structure enables the mold body 13 to be quickly and initially centered, simplifying the initial installation process. The mold body 13 has symmetrically distributed first positioning grooves 14 on both sides, which are used to cooperate with the first positioning rod 36 to achieve positioning in the length direction. The mold body 13 has symmetrically distributed second positioning grooves 15 on the front and back, which are used to cooperate with the second positioning rod 310 to achieve positioning in the width direction.

[0033] Working principle: Step 1, align the mold body 13 with the conical positioning block 12 in the mounting groove 11. Using the guiding effect of the conical positioning block 12, quickly place the mold body 13 into the mounting groove 11 to complete the initial centering and lay the foundation for subsequent precise positioning. Start the servo motor 24 through the controller body 26. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 drives the worm 25 to rotate. The worm 25 meshes with the tooth surface of the worm wheel 21, driving the worm wheel 21 and the drive rod 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive disk 22 to rotate. When the drive disk 22 rotates, the inclined groove 23 on its surface squeezes the slide rod 34. With the cooperation of the guide rod 33, the slide rod 34 pushes the stroke block 32 to slide along the stroke groove 31. The two stroke blocks 32 synchronously drive the first positioning rod 36 to move relative to each other and gradually insert into the first positioning groove 14 in the length direction of the mold body 13. When the first pressure sensor 35 senses that the insertion pressure reaches the preset value, the controller body 26 controls the servo motor 24 to stop working. At this time, the first positioning rod 36 has been stably inserted into the first positioning groove 14, completing the positioning in the length direction of the mold. Step 2: After the first direction positioning is completed, the servo electric cylinder 38 is started by the controller body 26. The piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 38 extends and drives the second positioning rod 310 to move towards the mold body 13 and insert into the second positioning groove 15 in the width direction. During the insertion of the second positioning rod 310, the second pressure sensor 39 monitors the insertion pressure in real time. When the pressure reaches the preset value, the controller body 26 controls the servo electric cylinder 38 to stop working, and the second positioning rod 310 is stably inserted into the second positioning groove 15, completing the positioning of the mold in the width direction. Step 3: At this point, the mold body 13 is firmly positioned in both the front-back and left-right directions by the first positioning rod 36 and the second positioning rod 310, achieving bidirectional precise positioning. The entire process requires no manual operation. If the mold needs to be replaced, simply reverse the operation: first, control the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 38 to retract, causing the second positioning rod 310 to exit the second positioning groove 15; then, start the servo motor 24 to reverse, driving the first positioning rod 36 to exit the first positioning groove 14. Then, the mold body 13 can be removed from the mounting groove 11. After replacing the mold, repeat the above process, significantly improving the mold changing and positioning efficiency of the die-casting production line.
