OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente solicitud de invención tiene por objeto el registro de un molde digital transformable, que incorpora notables innovaciones y ventajas frente a las técnicas utilizadas hasta el momento. The object of this invention application is the registration of a transformable digital mould, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages compared to the techniques used up to now.
Más concretamente, la invención propone el desarrollo de un molde digital transformable, que por su particular disposición, permite efectuar un moldeo preciso y efectivo para la obtención de piezas de muy diferente naturaleza dimensional y superficial. More specifically, the invention proposes the development of a transformable digital mould, which, due to its particular layout, allows precise and effective molding to obtain parts of a very different dimensional and surface nature.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidos en el actual estado de la técnica los procesos productivos en el sector de la fabricación de piezas de diferente naturaleza mediante moldeo, bien por procedimientos de prensado para piezas cerámicas, o moldeo por inyección para piezas de materiales poliméricos, o moldeo por extrusión también para piezas de materiales poliméricos, metálicos, entre muchos otros. In the current state of the art, production processes are known in the sector of manufacturing parts of a different nature by molding, either by pressing procedures for ceramic parts, or injection molding for parts made of polymeric materials, or extrusion molding as well. for parts made of polymeric and metallic materials, among many others.
En relación a ello, son conocidos los moldes que se emplean comúnmente en la fabricación de piezas de diferente índole, bien por procedimientos de inyección, extrusión u otros, así como los moldes o punzones para la fabricación de baldosas cerámicas, más específicamente en el moldeo unitario de la superficie de cada una de las piezas en sí, con el fin de recrear multitud de superficies y relieves, que vienen a aportar acabados muy distintos, estéticamente atractivos y funcionalmente interesantes, para sus diferentes aplicaciones industriales, domésticas, entre muchas otras. In relation to this, the molds that are commonly used in the manufacture of different types of pieces are known, either by injection, extrusion or other procedures, as well as the molds or punches for the manufacture of ceramic tiles, more specifically in the molding unitary of the surface of each of the pieces itself, in order to recreate a multitude of surfaces and reliefs, which come to provide very different finishes, aesthetically attractive and functionally interesting, for their different industrial and domestic applications, among many others.
No obstante, tales moldes presentan la problemática de que deben de soportar grandes presiones, ya que los parámetros de moldeo, independientemente del tipo de procedimiento de moldeo que se emplee, suelen ser muy elevados. Por tanto, se precisa que los materiales que integran los moldes, así como las figuras de los mismos, que en definitiva serán las que proporcionen las dimensiones, morfología y acabado a las piezas que se obtienen a través de dichos moldes; posean unas características mecánicas y de resistencia muy relevantes. However, such molds have the problem that they must withstand high pressures, since the molding parameters, regardless of the type of molding process used, are usually very high. Therefore, it is specified that the materials that make up the moulds, as well as their figures, which ultimately will be the ones that provide the dimensions, morphology and finish to the pieces that are obtained through said moulds; have very relevant mechanical and resistance characteristics.
Otro inconveniente que presentan tales moldes es que comúnmente, solamente se puede emplear el mismo molde en cada operación de moldeado, con lo que únicamente se puede obtener un único formato de pieza moldeada según las figuras que posee dicho molde. Another drawback of such molds is that commonly, only the same mold can be used in each molding operation, with which only a single molded part format can be obtained according to the figures that said mold has.
Ello conlleva que, ante la necesidad de modificar dichas figuras del molde por condicionantes de la producción y/o del stock, así como por cambios de tendencia, se deban realizar costosas operaciones de trasiego y cambio de molde en una línea de producción, lo que merma el rendimiento de dicha línea de producción. This entails that, given the need to modify said mold figures due to production and/or stock constraints, as well as changes in trend, costly transfer and mold change operations must be carried out on a production line, which It reduces the performance of the production line.
Este hecho resulta ser de suma importancia a nivel productivo y, por lo tanto, económico, para una industria que se dedica a la fabricación de piezas por cualquiera de las operaciones de moldeo que se conocen en la actualidad, y que, necesariamente, precisa disponer de tantos moldes como piezas diferentes produzca, y adicionalmente, debe disponer de programas de producción muy estrictos para optimizar al máximo los ciclos de producción, de cara a no sobrecargar el stock de una determinada pieza, o dejar sin producir otras durante un periodo de tiempo relevante. This fact turns out to be of great importance at a productive level and, therefore, economically, for an industry that is dedicated to the manufacture of parts by any of the molding operations that are currently known, and that necessarily needs to have of as many molds as different pieces produced, and additionally, it must have very strict production programs to optimize production cycles to the maximum, in order not to overload the stock of a certain piece, or leave others without producing for a period of time. relevant.
Por lo tanto, resulta de vital importancia optimizar recursos en esta parcela, máxime cuando, de un tiempo a esta parte, en donde las posibilidades de decoración superficial han aumentado exponencialmente, por la multitud de diseños y vahantes estéticas que un mercado tan cambiante como el sector de la fabricación de piezas, lo que implica la necesidad de aportar soluciones en este sentido, de cara a optimizar las operaciones de fabricación y no tener que efectuar constantes cambios de molde, lo que merma sustancialmente la efectividad y el rendimiento de fabricación de una determinada línea de producción, provocando serias mermas económicas a las industrias. Therefore, it is vitally important to optimize resources on this plot, especially when, for some time now, where the possibilities of surface decoration have increased exponentially, due to the multitude of designs and aesthetic variations that a market as changing as the parts manufacturing sector, which implies the need to provide solutions in this regard, in order to optimize manufacturing operations and not have to make constant mold changes, which substantially reduces the effectiveness and manufacturing performance of a certain production line, causing serious economic losses to the industries.
La presente invención contribuye a solucionar y solventar la presente problemática, pues por su particular disposición, permite efectuar un moldeo preciso y efectivo de una determinada pieza, así como adaptarse a multitud de formatos diferentes sin la necesidad de intercambiar moldes y/o figuras de los mismos. Adicionalmente, la presente invención también proporciona la posibilidad de moldear piezas con relieves muy pronunciados, dada la versatilidad que aporta al sector de la técnica. En la línea de lo anteriormente citado, comúnmente los moldes de fabricación de piezas, están sometidos a altas presiones y temperaturas, lo que implica que se produce un desgaste considerable de la estructura del propio molde, lo que merma sustancialmente la calidad de los acabados de las piezas moldeadas, y en consecuencia, del rendimiento general de una línea de fabricación. The present invention contributes to solving and solving the present problem, because due to its particular layout, it allows precise and effective molding of a certain piece, as well as adapting to a multitude of different formats without the need to exchange molds and/or figures of the themselves. Additionally, the present invention also provides the possibility of molding pieces with very pronounced reliefs, given the versatility that it brings to the technical sector. In line with the aforementioned, parts manufacturing molds are commonly subjected to high pressures and temperatures, which implies that there is considerable wear on the structure of the mold itself, which substantially reduces the quality of the finishes of the parts. the molded parts, and consequently, the general performance of a manufacturing line.
Todos estos avances, en definitiva, se traducen en una optimización económica y ecológica de una tecnología muy arraigada en la industria actualmente, como es la fabricación de piezas de diferente índole por procedimientos de moldeo, lo que implica que la repercusión de la presente invención sea muy relevante. All these advances, in short, translate into an economic and ecological optimization of a technology that is deeply rooted in the industry today, such as the manufacture of different types of parts by molding procedures, which implies that the impact of the present invention is very relevant.

De una manera más preferida, en el molde digital transformable de la invención, se prevé que los medios de regulación de cada una de las púas estén compuestos por al menos dos campos electromagnéticos independientes; siendo el primero de ellos encargado de la regulación individualizada de la posición de cada una de dichas púas en su dimensión longitudinal, mientras que el segundo de los mismos esté destinado a la sustentación de cada una de las púas, así como la determinación del perímetro de las púas en dirección ortogonal a su dimensión longitudinal, es decir, en su dimensión transversal; quedando ambos medios de regulación gobernados de manera independiente por unos medios de control. En otra realización de la invención, los medios de regulación son de naturaleza electromecánica. In a more preferred way, in the transformable digital mold of the invention, it is foreseen that the regulation means of each one of the tines are composed of at least two independent electromagnetic fields; being the first of them in charge of the individualized regulation of the position of each of said tines in its longitudinal dimension, while the second of them is intended for the support of each of the tines, as well as the determination of the perimeter of the tines in a direction orthogonal to their longitudinal dimension, that is, in their transverse dimension; both regulation means being governed independently by control means. In another embodiment of the invention, the regulation means are electromechanical in nature.
Adicionalmente, el molde digital transformable de la presente invención comprende unos medios de control vinculados en comunicación de datos con los medios de regulación. Additionally, the transformable digital mold of the present invention comprises control means linked in data communication with the regulation means.
Alternativamente, en el molde digital transformable, los medios de regulación están incorporados en la base de soporte. Alternatively, in the transformable digital mould, the adjustment means are incorporated in the support base.

De manera preferida, cada una de las púas que conforma el molde digital de la invención estará fabricada en un material con propiedades ferromagnéticas. Preferably, each of the pins that make up the digital mold of the invention will be made of a material with ferromagnetic properties.
En otra realización de la invención, las púas están fabricadas en un material ferromagnético con un recubrimiento de grafeno en al menos una de sus secciones perimetrales. In another embodiment of the invention, the spikes are made of a ferromagnetic material with a graphene coating on at least one of its perimeter sections.
En realizaciones alternativas de la invención, las púas pueden estar fabricadas en otros materiales que cumplan con los requerimientos y especificaciones técnicas que se precisan para la presente aplicación, tales como metales de transición, aleaciones de hierro, aceros inoxidables, molibdeno, titanio, kevlar®, carburos, así como combinaciones y/o mezclas de los anteriores, entre muchos otros.

Con el molde digital transformable de la invención propuesta, se abre un universo de posibilidades de personalización de tiradas muy cortas de piezas, según necesidades especiales o pedidos de muy corta tirada, lo que aporta a la industria de fabricación de piezas por moldeo unas posibilidades de acotar pedidos de producción muy a medida, sin los problemas anteriormente citados. Adicionalmente, por la disposición y versatilidad de los elementos que conforman el molde digital transformable de la invención, se pueden solucionar posibles mermas en la calidad del acabado de una determinada pieza moldeada, a diferencia de lo que ocurre con los moldes tradicionales, los cuales tienden a desgastarse por la acción de los propios ciclos de fabricación, y su rectificación y/o reparación puede resultar sumamente costosa o, lo que sería más gravoso, la necesidad de sustitución total de un molde, con la merma económica y ecológica que ello supone. With the digital transformable mold of the proposed invention, a universe of customization possibilities for very short runs of parts is opened up, according to special needs or very short run orders, which provides the manufacturing industry of parts by molding with possibilities of limit highly customized production orders, without the aforementioned problems. Additionally, due to the arrangement and versatility of the elements that make up the digital transformable mold of the invention, possible losses in the quality of the finish of a given molded part can be solved, unlike what happens with traditional molds, which tend to to wear out due to the action of the manufacturing cycles themselves, and their rectification and/or repair can be extremely costly or, what would be more burdensome, the need to completely replace a mould, with the economic and ecological loss that this entails.
Otras características y ventajas del molde digital transformable de la presente invención resultarán evidentes a partir de la descripción de una realización preferida, pero no exclusiva, que se ¡lustra a modo de ejemplo no limitativo en los dibujos que se acompañan, en los cuales: Other characteristics and advantages of the transformable digital mold of the present invention will be evident from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Dichas púas 1 están soportadas y sustentadas en una misma base de soporte 2. Said tines 1 are supported and supported on the same support base 2.
