Mold Casting Device Vertical Die Plate Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mold casting devices face challenges in efficient mold replacement due to the need for additional space and time for transverse movement and the requirement to adjust the positional relationship between upper and lower molds during replacement.
Innovation Solution
A mold casting device equipped with a raising and lowering mechanism for the upper mold, a die plate fixed to the upper mold, and a base member that supports the die plate movably, allowing for easy mold replacement and adjustment without the need for extensive positional reconfiguration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mold is replaced by moving it in the transverse direction to be placed on a wagon, then the mold replacement process is simplified, but additional wagon space is required and the replacement work takes time
Solution Approach 1:
The die plate is designed to be movable relative to the base member in the vertical direction, allowing dynamic adjustment of the upper mold position. This eliminates the need for transverse movement to a wagon, enabling direct vertical replacement of the mold within the casting device, thereby reducing replacement time while maintaining operational simplicity
2Ease of operation
If the upper mold and lower mold are detached and reattached by lifting with a forklift, then the mold can be removed from the device, but the positional relationship between upper and lower molds must be adjusted again during reattachment
Solution Approach 1:
The die plate is designed with movable support from the base member, allowing the upper mold to be positioned and supported vertically without requiring precise manual adjustment of the positional relationship between upper and lower molds. This maintains the structural integrity and alignment during reattachment, eliminating the need for complex positional realignment operations
