Description

模具更换设备及更换方法
本申请要求在2023年11月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为202311594270.5的中国专利申请的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及轮胎制造技术领域，例如涉及一种模具更换设备及更换方法。
背景技术
轮胎硫化是轮胎制造工艺中最为重要的环节之一，由于轮胎制造企业生产的轮胎类型规格种类较多，硫化所使用的模具也多种多样，在生产的过程中需要频繁的更换模具来生产不同的轮胎。相关技术中，行业内在更换轮胎模具时，仍以人工为主。人工更换模具存在换模时间长、劳动强度大、同时由于模具的吨位大对操作人员人身具有安全隐患等问题。这些问题的存在难以满足轮胎企业对生产过程高度自动化的需求。
相关技术中的自动换模设备主要有以下几种：
相关技术提供了一种硫化机自动换模车伸缩臂结构，利用电缸、滚珠丝杠等结构推动三级臂完成取旧模具、送新模具的结构形式。该方案的问题主要有两点，其一是伸缩臂较长，第三级臂的前端并无支撑、会有较大的扰度，这就导致使用精密的滚珠丝杠并不能达到预期顺利的伸出缩回的效果；二是两排伸缩臂占用空间较大，在较小空间的硫化机前并不能使用，通用性较小。
相关技术中还提供了一种用于硫化机上的模具安装工装，将线性导轨装在工装小车上，模具放置在定位盘上，当工装小车运行到硫化机前定好位后，定位盘通过线性导轨运行至指定位置对模具进行更换。该方案的主要问题是导轨长度过长，在实际工厂中并没有较大的行驶空间，实际适用性较低。
相关技术中还提供了一种模具运送装置，利用导轨、模具框架小车、卷扬机等部件构成模具运送装置，模具框架小车负责进入、退出硫化室，卷扬机负责模具的起升与降落，小车走到硫化机工位伸出支腿，模具框架通过导轨进入硫化室指定工位，卷扬机放下吊钩，抓起旧模具，运回至小车上，然后用同样的方法运送更换新模具，完成整个更换运送动作。该方案的主要问题有模具框架小车宽度尺寸较大，至少要大于模具的直径，在实际的硫化机中，框架小车不能进入硫化室，也无法进行模具的更换。
综上，相关技术中都存在一个共性问题，就是整个换模过程中，都需要人 工过多的干预模具的上模和卸模，无法完全的实现换模工序的自动化作业。因此，亟需提供一种新型的模具更换设备，从而解决相关技术中的上述技术问题。

本实施例中所述的第一方向为图1至图3中所示的X方向，也即水平方向， 第二方向为图1中所示的Y方向，也即竖直方向，第一方向和第二方向互相垂直。
请参考图1，在本实施例中，该模具更换设备包括运载小车100、平移升降装置200、模具存放台300和模具移载装置400，上述运载小车100被配置为在模具存放位和模具工作位之间做往复运动；上述平移升降装置200设置于上述运载小车100上，上述平移升降装置200设置为沿第一方向和第二方向中的至少一个方向移动新模具11或旧模具12；上述模具存放台300固接于上述运载小车100上且位于上述平移升降装置200的下方，上述模具存放台300设置为承载上述新模具11或上述旧模具12；上述模具移载装置400设置于上述模具存放台300的下方，上述模具移载装置400设置为将上述模具存放台300上的上述新模具11或上述旧模具12沿上述第二方向顶升并沿上述第一方向移载。
在一实施例中，在该模具更换设备使用时，运载小车100首先运动至模具存放位，模具移载装置400拿取新模具11后将新模具11沿第一方向和第二方向进行移动，并放置于模具存放台300上，随后运载小车100运动至模具工作位(本实施例中模具工作位为轮胎硫化机)，此时模具移载装置400将新模具11顶升并沿第一方向移载，平移升降装置200将模具工作位的旧模具12取下并沿第一方向和第二方向运送至模具存放台300上，平移升降装置200最后将模具移载装置400上的新模具11运送至模具工作位，完成模具的更换，最后运载小车100再将旧模具12运送至模具存放位，进行旧模具12的存储。该模具更换设备通过模具存放台300和模具移载设备的设置，能够实现旧模具12拆卸的同时，对新模具11进行更换，无需人工介入和操作，自动化地对旧模具12和新模具11进行更换作业，提高了换模效率；并且该模具更换设备的结构简单可靠，设备占据空间较小，能够满足不同使用空间的换模需求。
在本实施例中，上述运载小车100固接有升降座510，上述升降座510固接有升降驱动机构520，上述升降驱动机构520的输出端连接有门架总成530以使上述门架总成530沿上述第二方向滑动于上述升降座510上，上述门架总成530固接有上述平移升降装置200。这样设置的模具更换设备能够对平移升降装置200进行抬升或下降，使得该模具更换设备能够适用于不同高度的模具或者厂房，提高了该模具更换设备的使用范围。
如图1和图2所示，在本实施例中，上述模具移载装置400包括沿上述第一方向延伸的移载一级导轨410，上述移载一级导轨410固接于上述运载小车100上，上述移载一级导轨410滑动连接有升降平台420，上述升降平台420设置为将上述新模具11或上述旧模具12沿上述第二方向顶升并移载。移载一级导轨410的设置能够对升降平台420的运动起到定位和导向作用，保证升降平台420的运动平稳，从而在升降平台420将新模具11或旧模具12顶升运送时， 能够更加平稳和可靠。
在一实施例中，上述移载一级导轨410固接有第一驱动机构430并滑动连接有沿上述第一方向延伸的移载二级导轨440，上述移载二级导轨440连接于上述第一驱动机构430的输出端，上述移载二级导轨440固定设置有第二驱动机构450，上述第二驱动机构450的输出端连接于上述升降平台420以使上述升降平台420沿上述第一方向滑动连接于上述移载二级导轨440。本实施例中使用两级导轨来实现升降平台420沿第一方向的运动，不仅能够增大升降平台420的运动范围，还能够降低该模具移载装置400的体积，保证模具更换设备能够适用于使用空间较小的厂房，提高了模具更换设备使用的便捷性。
在一实施例中，上述移载二级导轨440远离上述运载小车100的一端固接有支撑滚轮441。支撑滚轮441对移载二级导轨440的运动起到支撑作用，保证始终保持水平，并且能够减少移载二级导轨440向移载一级导轨410施加的压力，减少变形的产生，无需将移载二级导轨440和移载一级导轨410制作的强度过高，降低生产成本；并且还能减少移载二级导轨440与移载一级导轨410之间的摩擦力，在保证平稳运送模具的同时，提高了该模具移载装置400的使用寿命。
如图1和图3所示，上述平移升降装置200包括沿上述第一方向延伸的平移一级导轨210，上述平移一级导轨210设置有第三驱动机构220，上述第三驱动机构220的输出端连接有起吊机构270，上述起吊机构270滑动连接于上述平移一级导轨210，上述起吊机构270设置为吊装上述新模具11或上述旧模具12升降。平移一级导轨210的设置能够对起吊机构270的运动起到定位和导向作用，保证起吊机构270在吊装模具时，能够平稳地沿第一方向进行运动，提高了吊机构270工作的稳定性。
在一实施例中，上述平移一级导轨210还设置有第四驱动机构230并滑动连接有沿上述第一方向延伸的平移二级导轨240，上述第四驱动机构230的输出端连接有上述平移二级导轨240，上述起吊机构270滑动连接于上述平移一级导轨210和上述平移二级导轨240上。本实施例中使用两级导轨来实现起吊机构270沿第一方向的运动，起吊机构270能够在平移一级导轨210和平移二级导轨240进行滑动，不仅能够增大起吊机构270的运动范围，还能够降低该平移升降装置200的体积和占地面积，保证模具更换设备能够适用于使用空间较小的厂房，提高了其使用便捷性。
在一实施例中，上述平移一级导轨210还设置有第五驱动机构250，上述第五驱动机构250的输出端连接有平移三级导轨260，上述平移三级导轨260沿上述第一方向延伸并滑动连接于上述平移一级导轨210和上述平移二级导轨240 上，上述起吊机构270滑动连接于上述平移三级导轨260上，上述平移二级导轨240远离上述运载小车100的一端设置有定位油缸201，上述定位油缸201的输出端能够插设于外部设备(本实施例中外部设备为轮胎硫化机或模具存放位的货架)的定位孔内。使用二级导轨来实现起吊机构270沿第一方向的运动，能够扩大起吊机构270的运动范围并减小占地空间，但是由于平移一级导轨210和平移二级导轨240之间存在具有的高度差的台阶，平移三级导轨260能够降低起吊机构270经过该台阶处时的震动，保证起吊机构270能够保持平稳的移动；定位油缸201能够对该模具更换设备起到定位作用，保证起吊机构270运动至平移二级导轨240的最远端时，能够精确地对准下方的新模具11或旧模具12，从而进行吊装，提高了工作效率。
在一实施例中，平移一级导轨210和上述平移二级导轨240之间、平移三级导轨260和平移一级导轨210以及平移一级导轨210和平移二级导轨240之间设置有滚轮，将导轨之间的滑动摩擦转化为滚动摩擦，从而降低摩擦力，此处不再赘述。
如图3和图4所示，上述起吊机构270包括移动平台271、固定支架274和柔性连接件275，上述移动平台271滑动连接于上述平移一级导轨210，上述移动平台271设置有第六驱动机构272和定滑轮273；上述固定支架274连接于上述第六驱动机构272的输出端，且上述固定支架274滑动连接于上述平移一级导轨210并能够沿上述第一方向做往复运动；上述柔性连接件275第一端固接于上述固定支架274，柔性连接件275第二端绕过上述定滑轮273后吊挂有设置为固定上述新模具11或上述旧模具12的模具夹具276。移动平台271在平移一级导轨210上改变位置，进一步地是在平移三级导轨260上进行滑动，从而改变位置，第六驱动机构272的输出端连接有固定支架274，通过第六驱动机构272的驱动即可使得固定支架274沿着第一方向做往复直线运动，从而靠近或远离移动平台271，固定支架274上固接有柔性连接件275，柔性连接件275第二端绕过移动平台271上的定滑轮273后吊挂有下方的模具夹具276。由此，当固定支架274被驱动远离移动平台271后，柔性连接件275便可带动模具夹具276向上运动，而固定支架274被驱动靠近移动平台271后，柔性连接件275可带动模具夹具276向下运动，从而实现模具夹具276的吊装。该起吊装置通过柔性连接件275的被驱动端横向运动，从而较少的占据了纵向的空间，减少了起吊结构所占据的空间，更适用于狭小空间的吊装需求，并且起吊结构吊装运动时更加平稳，能够提高起吊作业的工作效率。
本实施例中的柔性连接件275具体为链条，链条相对于钢丝绳而言，无需设置连接处末端的压制接头，从而与模具夹具276的连接处可做的更短，进一步降低了该起吊装置所占据的纵向空间。
在一实施例中，上述柔性连接件275与上述模具夹具276螺栓连接。柔性连接件275可直接设置有与模具夹具276相配合的外螺纹部或螺纹孔，也可以将柔性连接件275的接头通过螺栓和螺母固定于模具夹具276上，此处不作具体限制。螺栓连接拆卸与安装方便，能够便于更换模具夹具276，从而提高吊装效率和模具夹具276的维护效率，此处不再赘述。
在一实施例中，上述移动平台271的两端侧壁分别设置有多个间隔分布的第一滚轮，多个上述第一滚轮高度相同。多个第一滚轮的设置能够进一步保证移动平台271在滑轨上低摩擦、平稳而可靠的运动，并且还能够起到导向作用，保证移动平台271以及移动平台271上的第六驱动机构272平稳的工作。同时，上述固定支架274的两端侧壁也分别设置有与上述第一滚轮等高的第二滚轮。固定支架274上的第二滚轮能够保证固定支架274在滑轨上平稳地做往复直线运动，提高运动的稳定性，此处不再赘述。
第一滚轮和第二滚轮在本实施例中选用为复合滚轮，不仅工作寿命较高、购买成本较低，并且还能够起到减震作用，进一步保证该起吊装置的平稳运行。
在一实施例中，上述移动平台271设置有避让孔2711，上述模具夹具276的顶壁凸设有定位柱2761，上述定位柱2761能够插设于上述避让孔2711内。避让孔2711和定位柱2761的设置能够保证模具夹具276向上运动后，定位柱2761插设于避让孔2711内，使得模具夹具276能够被移动平台271所限位，防止移动平台271沿第一方向运动时模具夹具276和模具夹具276所固定的新模具11或旧模具12出现晃动，提高了该平移升降装置200的工作可靠性。
在一实施例中，上述定滑轮273及柔性连接件275分别设置有4个，4个上述定滑轮273的中心连线呈长方形，且靠近上述固定支架274的2个上述定滑轮273的高度低于另外2个上述定滑轮273的高度，绕过靠近上述固定支架274的上述定滑轮273的2个上述柔性连接件275与上述固定支架274的连接处低于另外2个柔性连接件275与上述固定支架274的连接处。这样设置的定滑轮273结构和柔性连接件275结构，使得柔性连接件275呈避让设置，避免多个柔性连接件275之间出现剐蹭和碰撞，保证下方的模具夹具276平稳地升降；并且还能够使得多个柔性连接件275与模具夹具276的连接处的连线呈长方形，在固定支架274运动时，柔性连接件275接头处的上升高度一致，保证了模具夹具276的升降平稳。
并且，本实施例中的上述第一驱动机构430、第二驱动机构450、第三驱动机构220、第四驱动机构230、第五驱动机构250和第六驱动机构272为伸缩油缸。伸缩油缸的设置能够使得多个部件的移动更加平稳，而且由于伸缩油缸为横向放置的形式，不仅能够减少纵向空间的占用，还能够避免了油缸受力不均 产生的偏斜问题，增长油缸的使用寿命。
同时，上述移载一级导轨410、移载二级导轨440、平移一级导轨210、平移二级导轨240和平移三级导轨260分别设置有2条，多个零部件的两侧与上述相应导轨之间滑动连接，从而对多个零部件的运动起到导向作用，使得零部件能够平稳可靠的运行，进而提高了该模具更换设备的工作稳定性；并且多个导轨的设置能够进一步提高零部件和与该零部件相连的驱动机构的移动稳定性和工作稳定性，并且能够起到导向作用，保证吊装和移载运动时的定位准确性，提高新模具11和旧模具12的拆卸更换的作业效率，此处不再赘述。
