Abstract

Provided is a method and device for batched compression molding of rubber and plastic products by means of multiple mold cavities, including alternating operation of a blank shuttle and a male mold that is in a bottle cap mold, being controlled by means of engagement of two partial gear sets. Mold opening motion, isostatic pressing energy storage, and spring energy storage are implemented by means of the engagement characteristic of the partial gear sets, and mold closing and compression molding are implemented by means of the non-engagement characteristic, isostatic pressing energy storage, and pressurization of the partial gear sets. The method and device effectively resolve the general problem of low production efficiency and poor precision and stability of existing compression molding cap manufacturing equipment.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for batched compression molding of rubber and plastic products by means of multiple mold cavities, comprising:
a cable transmission mechanism comprising two partial gear sets, a mold-moving rotary winding wheel, a mold-moving cable, a blank-conveying rotary winding wheel, and a blank-conveying cable, wherein the two partial gear sets comprise a mold-moving partial gear set and a blank-conveying partial gear set;
a three-bar linkage mechanism;
a bottle cap mold comprising a male mold and a female mold;
a blank shuttle; and
a male mold supporting plate;
wherein a plurality of male molds are evenly distributed on a periphery of the male mold supporting plate, one female mold being arranged under each of the plurality of male molds, with one blank shuttle arranged between the male mold and the female mold of each pair,
the mold-moving partial gear set and the mold-moving rotary winding wheel are connected,
the blank-conveying partial gear set and the blank-conveying rotary winding wheel are connected,
one end of the mold-moving cable is wound on the mold-moving rotary winding wheel, and another end of the mold-moving cable is connected with the male mold supporting plate,
one end of the blank-conveying cable is wound on the blank-conveying rotary winding wheel, and another end of the blank-conveying cable is fixedly connected to a blank-conveying cable holder, and
a plurality of three-bar linkage mechanisms are distributed on the blank-conveying cable holder, wherein one end of each of the plurality of three-bar linkage mechanisms is connected with the blank-conveying cable holder, and another end of each of the plurality of three-bar linkage mechanisms is correspondingly connected with one blank shuttle.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a blank-conveying cable-holder supporting column is arranged in a middle of the blank-conveying cable holder and is provided with a blank shuttle supporting frame on a lower periphery, with each blank shuttle distributed on a blank shuttle supporting frame; and wherein the blank-conveying cable holder, the blank-conveying cable-holder supporting column, and the blank shuttle supporting frame form a blank-conveying cable mechanism.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein a linkage bar supporting holder, provided inside with a return spring, is further arranged in a middle of the blank-conveying cable-holder supporting column and is respectively connected with each of the plurality of three-bar linkage mechanisms.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an ejection plate is arranged in parallel above the male mold supporting plate, and a first mold-moving spring is disposed between the ejection plate and the male mold supporting plate; and wherein the ejection plate is provided on an outer circumference with a plurality of ejection rods, each of the plurality of ejection rods being correspondingly located on one side of one male mold.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein a mold-moving supporting plate is arranged in parallel above the ejection plate, and a second mold-moving spring is arranged between the mold-moving supporting plate and the ejection plate; wherein the male mold supporting plate is provided with a compression molding oil cylinder whose piston passes through the ejection plate to be located in the second mold-moving spring; and wherein the compression molding oil cylinder is provided at a bottom with a compression molding oil guiding plate and a compression molding switch valve, and a pressure relief oil guiding plate is arranged at a bottom of the compression molding oil guiding plate.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the mold-moving supporting plate is provided with an oil tank, and the male mold supporting plate is provided with an energy storage oil cylinder, with a front drive piston of the energy storage oil cylinder passing through the ejection plate to be connected with the oil tank; and wherein a pressure relief valve is provided on one side of the energy storage oil cylinder.
