Die Test Pressing-Down Apparatus With Spring Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing die testing apparatuses face challenges in ensuring mold-closed flatness between the upper cover plate and the lower supporting plate, affecting test accuracy and data consistency.
Innovation Solution
A die test pressing-down apparatus is designed with a support frame that moves vertically, featuring a pressing-down block connected through an installation plate with strip-shaped through holes and protruding strips. This configuration uses springs to maintain mold closing pressure, ensuring a flat contact between the pressing-down block and the part to-be-pressed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the upper cover plate is pressed tightly to the lower supporting plate to realize electrical connection, then the test screening can be completed, but the mold-closed flatness cannot be ensured, affecting test accuracy and data consistency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state of the pressing mechanism by introducing springs that can elastically deform, allowing the system to transition from a rigid fixed-position structure to a flexible adaptive structure. The springs enable the upper cover plate to maintain constant pressing force while accommodating variations in die thickness, thereby ensuring both mold-closed flatness and reliable electrical connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static pressing mechanism into a dynamic one by incorporating springs that can compress and extend. This dynamic structure allows the pressing-down block to automatically adjust its position based on the die thickness, maintaining consistent contact pressure and flatness throughout the testing process, thus resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and manufacturing precision.
2Device complexity
If a fixed position pressing structure is used, then the structure is simple, but slight deviations cannot be absorbed, affecting mold closing flatness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces springs that change their compression parameter in response to die thickness variations. This allows the pressing structure to absorb deviations while maintaining simple overall design. The springs act as compliant elements that automatically compensate for manufacturing tolerances without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates springs in advance to cushion against position deviations before they affect the mold closing flatness. The springs are pre-installed in the pressing-down block to provide elastic compensation, preventing the transmission of positioning errors to the contact interface between the upper cover plate and lower supporting plate.
3Device complexity
If the pressing-down block is directly fixed to the support frame, then the structure is simple, but the horizontal reference cannot be converted to the part to-be-pressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses springs to create a dynamic connection between the pressing-down block and support frame, enabling the block to move horizontally and align with the part to-be-pressed. This dynamic alignment capability allows the reference frame to be transferred from the support frame to the part itself, improving measurement precision without significantly increasing structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring-connected pressing-down block automatically performs self-alignment with the part to-be-pressed through elastic deformation. The structure uses its own elasticity to achieve reference conversion, eliminating the need for external adjustment mechanisms or complex positioning systems.
