Abstract
A mold assembly has an upper positioning seat, an upper panel disposed in the upper positioning seat, a lower positioning seat, a lower panel disposed in the lower positioning seat, a first air cylinder disposed on a side of the lower positioning seat, a second air cylinder disposed on a bottom of the lower positioning seat, a third air cylinder disposed on a side of the upper positioning seat, and a fourth air cylinder disposed on a top portion of the upper positioning seat. A lower plate is disposed on a bottom of the upper panel. An upper plate is disposed on the lower panel. The lower plate engages with the upper plate.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mold assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mold assembly which can form an inflated rubber product.
There are many types of molds to form cellular rubber cushions. However, it is cumbersome to assemble the conventional molds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a mold assembly which can form an inflated rubber product easily.
Accordingly, a mold assembly comprises an upper positioning seat, an upper panel disposed in the upper positioning seat, a lower positioning seat, a lower panel disposed in the lower positioning seat, a first air cylinder disposed on a side of the lower positioning seat, a second air cylinder disposed on a bottom of the lower positioning seat, a third air cylinder disposed on a side of the upper positioning seat, and a fourth air cylinder disposed on a top portion of the upper positioning seat. A lower plate is disposed on a bottom of the upper panel. An upper plate is disposed on the lower panel. The lower plate engages with the upper plate. The lower plate has a first male mold and a first female mold. The upper plate has a second male mold and a second female mold. The upper positioning seat has two slide grooves receiving two laterals of the upper panel. The lower positioning seat has two slide recesses receiving two laterals of the lower panel. The first male mold matches the second male mold and the second female mold. The first female mold matches the second male mold and the second female mold. An air inlet rubber valve is connected to the first female mold. A blowing device is connected to the air inlet rubber valve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 1
to
3
A, a mold assembly comprises an upper positioning seat
30
, an upper panel
10
disposed in the upper positioning seat
30
, a lower positioning seat
40
, a lower panel
24
disposed in the lower positioning seat
40
, a first air cylinder
50
disposed on a side of the lower positioning seat
40
, a second air cylinder
60
disposed on a bottom of the lower positioning seat
40
, a third air cylinder
50
a
disposed on a side of the upper positioning seat
30
, and a fourth air cylinder
60
a
disposed on a top portion of the upper positioning seat
30
.
A lower plate
14
is disposed on a bottom of the upper panel
10
.
An upper plate
20
is disposed on the lower panel
24
.
The lower plate
14
engages with the upper plate
20
.
The lower plate
14
has a first male mold
22
and a first female mold
23
.
The upper plate
20
has a second male mold
12
and a second female mold
13
.
The upper positioning seat
30
has two slide grooves
31
receiving two laterals
11
of the upper panel
10
.
The lower positioning seat
40
has two two slide recesses
41
receiving two laterals
21
of the lower panel
24
.
The first male mold
22
matches the second male mold
12
and the second female mold
13
.
The first female mold
23
matches the second male mold
12
and the second female mold
13
.
An air inlet rubber valve
83
is connected to the first female mold
23
.
A blowing device
70
is connected to the air inlet rubber valve
83
.
When the first male mold
22
engages with the second female mold
13
and the first female mold
23
engages with the second male mold
12
, a first semi-finished product
82
is formed in the first female mold
23
and a second semi-finished product
81
is formed in the second female mold
13
.
When the female mold
13
engages with the first female mold
23
, the first semi-finished product
82
couples with the second semi-finished product
81
. The air inlet rubber valve
83
is inserted in the first semi-finished product
82
. A hot air passes through the blowing device
70
and the air inlet rubber valve
83
into the first semi-finished product
82
. Then the first semi-finished product
82
and the second semi-finished product
81
forms a cushion product.
Referring to
FIG. 4
, the cushion product
80
is disposed in a shoe. The air inlet rubber valve
83
is inserted in the cushion product
80
.
Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6
, a last product
80
′ is disposed in a shoe. An air inlet rubber valve
83
′ is inserted in the last product
80
′.
Referring to
FIG. 7
, a cushion product
80
″ is disposed in a brassiere. An air inlet rubber valve
83
″ is inserted in the cushion product
80
″.
The invention is not limited to the above embodiment but various modification thereof may be made. Further, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
