Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1 to 4B, an embodiment of the present invention provides a forming mold 100, which can be used for forming a rubber member 200 (shown in fig. 1) with a rib 1.
The molding die 100 may include a first template 2, a second template 5, and a molded body 3.
The first template 2 may be an upper template of the molding die 100, and the second template 5 may be a lower template of the molding die and disposed below the first template 4. The first template 2 is movable up and down relative to the second template 5. For example, it may be that the first template 2 is held stationary and the second template 5 is moved closer to or further away from the first template 2. Also for example, the second template 5 may be held stationary and the first template 2 moved closer to or further away from the second template 5.
The molded body 3 is disposed between the first template 2 and the second template 5. The forming body 3 is provided with a through hole which is communicated up and down, and the inner wall of the through hole is provided with a plurality of grooves 34 corresponding to the convex ribs 1 of the rubber piece.
In the state where the molding die 100 is clamped, the molded body 3 is combined, and the through hole, the first mold plate 2, and the second mold plate 5 form a closed cavity for filling with an injection material, which may be rubber in a molten state, to mold a rubber material. In the state where the molding die 100 is released, the molded body 3 is separated (shown in fig. 4A and 4B) to release the finished product (e.g., rubber member). Wherein the shape of the chamber is adapted to the shape of the rubber member 200.
In one example, one or more injection ports 13 may be opened in the first mold plate 2 to communicate with the cavity, and the molten injection rubber raw material is filled into the cavity from top to bottom through the injection ports 13 of the first mold plate 2. In another example, one or more injection ports 13 communicating with the cavity may be opened in the second mold plate 5, and the molten injection rubber raw material fills the cavity from bottom to top through the injection ports of the second mold plate 5. Wherein, the cavity is filled from top to bottom by the injection raw materials, the filling is quicker by the self gravity of the injection raw materials, and the molding efficiency is improved. The injection raw materials fill the cavity from bottom to top, the flow rate is slow, the filling is more uniform and full, and the performance of the molded rubber piece is more stable. In another example, one or more injection ports 13 may be opened in both the first mold plate 2 and the second mold plate 5, so as to greatly increase the feeding speed.
The injection port 13, which may also be referred to as a gate, may be located at a middle position and formed in a bell mouth shape with a small top and a large bottom, so that feeding is faster, more efficient, and feeding is also balanced.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 3A, a plurality of injection ports 13 are provided, and the plurality of injection ports 13 are communicated with each other. For example, four injection ports 13 that communicate with each other are formed in a cross shape, two opposing injection ports 13 communicate with each other through a groove, and the injection ports 13 located at four end points of the cross shape are formed downward as needle-like holes and penetrate to the chamber. But not limited thereto, the number of the injection ports 13 may be three, for example, three injection ports 13 may be arranged in a triangular shape. The number of injection ports 13 may also be more.
The plurality of injection ports 13 are communicated with one another, so that feeding is faster and efficiency is improved; the raw materials flow into the cavity through a plurality of points, so that the feeding is more balanced, and the performance of the formed rubber part is better; even if one of the injection ports 13 is blocked, feeding is not affected, and the device is more reliable.
The first mold plate 2 may be connected to an upper hot plate of a vulcanizer as a fixed mold plate, and may be moved up and down to be close to or far from the molded body 3 by following the upper hot plate. The second template 5 can be used as a movable template and connected with a lower hot plate on a vulcanizing machine, and moves along the horizontal direction along with the lower hot plate. When the mold closing device is used, the forming body 3 is positioned on the second template 5, the first template 2 moves to the opening of the through hole pressed on the forming body 3 along with the upper hot plate on the vulcanizing machine close to the forming body 3, so that the through hole, the first template 2 and the second template 5 jointly form a cavity, and the mold closing operation is completed. Next, the molten rubber liquid is injected into the injection port 13, the entire cavity is filled, pressure is maintained by the upper and lower hot plates, and cooling is performed to mold the rubber body 200. Then, the molding die 100 is released, specifically, the first die plate 2 is separated from the molded body 3 following the upper hot plate, the second die plate 5 and the molded body 3 are pulled out together with the lower hot plate in the horizontal direction, and then the molded body 3 is separated and separated from the rubber member, thereby completing the release of the molding die.
According to the forming die provided by the embodiment of the invention, the grooves matched with the convex ribs of the rubber part are arranged on the inner wall of the through hole of the forming body 3, the injection raw material is filled into the cavity at one time by using an injection process to form the rubber part with the framework, and the formed rubber part is separated in a combined and separated mode through the forming body 5, so that the forming die is simple in structure and convenient to demould; the injection process is adopted for one-step molding, the operation is convenient, and the production efficiency is improved.
In some embodiments, the first mold plate 2 has an extension 22 extending toward the second mold plate 5, the extension 22 extends into the through hole and abuts against the second mold plate 5, and a gap for the injection material to flow into is formed between the extension 22 and the inner wall of the through hole; the grooves 34 are sequentially communicated with each other to form a spiral shape.
As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the first template 2 is substantially rectangular, a columnar extension portion 22 extends downward from the middle position of the bottom surface of the first template 2, the columnar extension portion 22 extends into the through hole of the forming body 3 and abuts against the upper surface of the second template 6, and a gap is formed between the through hole and the extension portion 22. The columnar extension part 22 is matched with the hollow part of the hollow cylindrical rubber piece, and the spiral groove 34 is matched with the convex rib 1 on the outer wall of the rubber piece 200. In a state where the molding die 100 is clamped, the clearance between the through hole and the extension portion 22, the spiral groove 23, and the first die plate 2 and the second die plate 5 together form a cavity matching the rubber member 200.
However, the forming mold 100 of the present invention is not limited to forming the hollow rubber member 200 with the spiral ribs on the outer wall as shown in fig. 1, and in other embodiments, the first mold plate 2 may not have the extension portion 22, so as to form a solid rubber member. In addition, a plurality of recesses that the through-hole inner wall of formed body 3 set up also can be non-intercommunicating, for example, a plurality of recesses are certain regular dispersion and arrange, or irregular dispersion and arrange to form the rubber spare of multiple form. The size and shape of the plurality of grooves may be the same or different, for example, the cross section of the grooves may be semicircular, rectangular, etc.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4A, the forming body 3 includes a first slider 31 and a second slider 32, the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 are respectively slidably disposed on the second mold plate 5, and the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 can slide toward each other or slide away from each other. Wherein, under the mold closing state of the forming mold, the first slide block 31 and the second slide block 32 are combined; in the mold-released state of the molding die, the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 are separated.
The first slider 31 and the second slider 32 divide the through hole of the molded body 3 into two semicircular holes to form a half structure. During the mold clamping process, the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 can slide toward each other in a horizontal direction (e.g., left-right direction), i.e., move toward each other, so that the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 are combined to form a complete through hole. During the demolding process of the molding die, the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 may slide back to back along a horizontal direction (e.g., a left-right direction) and move away from each other, so that the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 are separated to separate from the molded rubber member.
The mode that the first sliding block 31 and the second sliding block 32 slide oppositely or slide back to back is convenient for the integrated or split operation, particularly in the demoulding process, the rubber part with the convex ribs can be easily demoulded without disassembling the forming body 3, the operation is convenient, the labor cost is reduced, and the forming efficiency is further improved.

For example, four injection ports 13 that communicate with each other are formed in a cross shape, two opposing injection ports 13 communicate with each other through a groove, and the injection ports 13 at four end points are formed downward as needle-like holes and penetrate to the chamber. But not limited thereto, the number of the injection ports 13 may be three, for example, three injection ports 13 may be arranged in a triangular shape. The number of injection ports 13 may also be more.
The plurality of injection ports 13 are communicated with one another, so that feeding is faster and efficiency is improved; the raw materials flow into the cavity through a plurality of points, so that the feeding is more balanced, and the performance of the formed rubber part is better; even if one of the injection ports 13 is blocked, feeding is not affected, and the device is more reliable.
In step S13, the molded body 3 is separated and detached from the molded rubber member. The rubber raw material in the cavity is subjected to pressure maintaining through the upper hot plate and the lower hot plate, and then is cooled, and the cooled rubber liquid is combined with the framework to form the rubber body. And then, demoulding the forming mold, specifically, moving the first template 2 away from the forming body 3 along with the upper hot plate, moving the second template 5 and the forming body 5 along with the lower hot plate along the horizontal direction, pulling out, separating the forming body 3 from the rubber piece, and completing the demoulding operation of the forming mold.
In some embodiments, the forming mold includes a first slider 31, a second slider 32, and a diagonal guide pillar group 10;
step S11 includes: the second template 5 ascends or descends relative to the inclined guide post group 10, so that the inclined guide post group 10 drives the first slide block 31 and the second slide block 32 to slide and combine oppositely;
step S13 includes: the second template 5 descends or ascends relative to the inclined guide group 10, so that the inclined guide column group 10 drives the first slide block 31 and the second slide block 32 to slide back to the split body.
As mentioned above, the diagonal guide post may be "V" shaped or inverted "V" shaped. The supporting plate 6 is raised or lowered relative to the second template 5, so that the first and second inclined guide posts 101 and 102 move the first and second sliders 31 and 32 to slide towards or away from each other.
In one example, the first and second diagonal guide posts 101 and 102 are in a "V" shape, the second template 5 is raised relative to the pallet 6, the first and second sliders 31 and 32 slide in a direction away from each other, i.e., back-to-back sliding, the second template 5 is lowered relative to the pallet 6, and the first and second sliders 31 and 32 slide in a direction closer to each other, i.e., opposite to each other.
In another example, the first and second diagonal guide posts 101 and 102 are inverted "V" shaped, the second die plate 5 is raised relative to the pallet 6, the first and second sliders 31 and 32 slide toward each other, i.e., slide toward each other, the second die plate 5 is lowered relative to the pallet 6, and the first and second sliders 31 and 32 slide away from each other, i.e., slide away from each other.
The second template 5 is lifted or lowered relative to the pallet 6, the pallet 6 may be stationary, and the second template 5 is lifted or lowered; it is also possible that the second template 5 is stationary and the pallet 6 is raised or lowered.
The term "plurality" as used herein means two or more, and other terms are analogous. "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship. The singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
In the above description, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used to describe various information, but the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another and do not denote a particular order or importance. Indeed, the terms "first," "second," and the like are fully interchangeable. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In the above description, the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience in describing the present embodiment and simplifying the description, but do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be configured in a specific orientation, and be operated.
In the above description, unless otherwise specified, "connected" includes a direct connection between the two without any other member, and also includes an indirect connection between the two with any other element.
