Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular mold technology, specifically to a reconfigurable modular mold that can be quickly adjusted and locked. Background Technology

[0002] Reconfigurable molds, as an advanced tooling technology, can adapt to the production needs of different products by adjusting their shape, thereby significantly improving production flexibility and reducing mold inventory costs.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent No. CN203621219U, a reconfigurable mold based on a hydraulic telescopic unit array is disclosed. This type of solution uses the independent control of the stroke of numerous hydraulic cylinders to assemble the formed curved surface. While it can achieve complex curved surface shapes, it also reveals significant drawbacks in practical applications: First, it relies on a hydraulic system containing numerous hydraulic cylinders, complex oil circuits, and control valves, resulting in a complex overall structure and high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Second, under continuous processing loads, the pressure holding stability of the hydraulic system is at risk; even a small leak in any unit can cause loss of forming surface accuracy, resulting in insufficient dynamic stability and long-term reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reconfigurable mold solution with a simpler structure, lower cost, and more reliable locking. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a reconfigurable modular mold that can be quickly adjusted and locked, solving the problems of complexity, high cost, and insufficient dynamic stability of existing technology systems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A reconfigurable modular mold that can be quickly adjusted and locked includes a main component, the main component including a tower and a module mother seat fixedly connected to the front of the tower, an adjustment component disposed on the front of the tower below the module mother seat, the adjustment component including a module sub-seat that can be raised and lowered at the bottom inside the module mother seat, and a secondary locking component disposed on the side of the module mother seat, the secondary locking component including a push block that can rotate and rotate to lock, and re-lock the module sub-seat that has moved to the target height.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a vertical seat, which is fixedly connected to the front of the tower and located below the module base. The adjustment assembly also includes a first forward and reverse motor, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical seat.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a threaded rod, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the first forward and reverse motor, and the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first forward and reverse motor.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a slide block, which is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod. The adjustment assembly also includes a mounting bracket, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slide block, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the module sub-base.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a support platform, which is fixedly connected to the top of the module sub-base, and the side of the support platform is in contact with the inner side of the module female base.

[0010] Preferably, the secondary locking assembly further includes side frames, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outside of the module female base. The secondary locking assembly also includes a second forward and reverse motor, which is fixedly installed on the outside of one of the side frames.

[0011] Preferably, the secondary locking assembly further includes a main rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the two sets of side frames, and the secondary locking assembly further includes a worm gear, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the main rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the secondary locking assembly further includes a secondary rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the side of the module female seat. The secondary locking assembly also includes a worm gear, which is fixedly connected to the lower outer part of the secondary rotating shaft. The worm gear is in contact with the worm and is meshed and rotatably connected. The upper outer part of the secondary rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the push block.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Improvements addressing the issues of "system complexity and high cost": Improvements: A motor-driven mechanical adjustment system replaces the complex hydraulic system. The lifting and lowering adjustment of the module sub-base can be achieved by a single forward and reverse motor driving a threaded rod, greatly simplifying the system structure and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0014] Improvements to address the issue of insufficient dynamic stability: Improvements: A secondary locking component based on worm gear transmission was introduced. Once the module sub-base is in place, a second forward and reverse motor drives the worm and worm wheel, causing the push block to rigidly clamp the module sub-base. Utilizing the irreversible self-locking characteristic of worm gear transmission, it ensures that the module sub-base position will never shift due to external forces during processing, fundamentally solving the dynamic stability problem.

[0017] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a reconfigurable modular mold that can be quickly adjusted and locked, including a main component 1, which includes a tower 11 and a module mother seat 12 fixedly connected to the front of the tower 11. An adjustment component 2 is disposed on the front of the tower 11 below the module mother seat 12. The adjustment component 2 includes a module sub-seat 24 that can be adjusted up and down at the bottom inside the module mother seat 12. A secondary locking component 3 is disposed on the side of the module mother seat 12. The secondary locking component 3 includes a pusher block 342 that can rotate and rotate to lock, and re-lock the module sub-seat 24 that has moved to the target height.

[0019] The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a vertical base 21, which is fixedly connected to the front of the tower 11 and located below the module base 12, providing guidance and support for the lifting movement. The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a first forward and reverse motor 22, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical base 21 and serves as the power source for the lifting drive.

[0020] The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a threaded rod 221, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the first forward and reverse motor 22. The threaded rod 221 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first forward and reverse motor 22. The rotation direction and number of revolutions of the threaded rod 221 can be precisely controlled by rotating the motor forward and reverse.

[0021] The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a slide 23, which is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 221, converting the rotational motion of the threaded rod 221 into its own linear motion. The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a mounting bracket 231, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slide 23, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the module sub-base 24, thereby transmitting the linear motion of the slide 23 to the module sub-base 24.

[0022] The adjustment assembly 2 also includes a support platform 241, which is fixedly connected to the top of the module sub-base 24 and is used to directly support the mold or workpiece. The side of the support platform 241 fits against the inner side of the module mother base 12, which not only ensures the stability of movement, but also improves the anti-tipping ability of the module sub-base 24.

[0023] The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes side frames 31, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outside of the module female base 12, providing a mounting base for the locking mechanism. The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes a second forward and reverse motor 32, which is fixedly installed on the outside of one set of side frames 31, serving as the driving source for the locking action.

[0024] The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes a main rotating shaft 33, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the two sets of side frames 31. The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes a worm gear 331, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the main rotating shaft 33. The second forward and reverse motor 32 drives the main rotating shaft 33, thereby driving the worm gear 331 to rotate.

[0025] The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes a secondary rotating shaft 34, which is rotatably connected to the side of the module female seat 12. The secondary locking assembly 3 also includes a worm gear 341, which is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the secondary rotating shaft 34. The worm gear 341 is in contact with and meshes with the worm 331. The upper outer side of the secondary rotating shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the push block 342. When the worm 331 drives the worm gear 341 to rotate, the secondary rotating shaft 34 rotates accordingly, causing the push block 342 to swing, thus tightening or loosening the module female seat 24. This utilizes the irreversible characteristic of the worm gear transmission pair—that is, the worm can drive the worm gear, but the worm gear cannot drive the worm in the reverse direction—thus forming a reliable self-locking mechanism after locking, ensuring that the push block 342 will not loosen under vibration or impact.

[0026] Working principle: This design allows for adjustment of the height of the module sub-base 24 and the support platform 241 within the module female base 12, thereby adapting to the processing requirements of molds of different depths. Specifically, the first forward and reverse motor 22 is started, which drives the threaded rod 221 to rotate in the vertical seat 21. At this time, the slide 23 threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 221 drives the mounting frame 231 to move up and down at the vertical seat 21. At this time, the module sub-seat 24 fixed at the other end of the mounting frame 231 drives the support platform 241 to move up and down in the module mother seat 12. Through this design, the height of the support platform 241 in the module mother seat 12 can be quickly adjusted to adapt to the processing requirements of molds of different depths. Specifically, after the module sub-base 24 has completed its height adjustment within the module mother base 12, the second forward and reverse motor 32 can be activated. The second forward and reverse motor 32 can drive the main rotating shaft 33 and the worm gear 331 to rotate between the two sets of side frames 31. At this time, under the meshing action of the worm gear 331 and the worm wheel 341, the auxiliary rotating shaft 34 located inside the worm wheel 341 will rotate synchronously, and drive the push block 342 to rotate on the side of the module mother base 12. Through the rotation of the push block 342 and the self-locking design of the meshing of the worm gear 331 and the worm wheel 341, the module sub-base 24 can be pushed and positioned, thereby preventing the module sub-base 24 from shifting position during the mold processing within the module mother base 12.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
