Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of connection lubrication between a movable template and a pull rod of an injection molding machine, and in particular to a lubricating structure for a pull rod mold moving guide sleeve of an injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] A mold transfer guide sleeve is used to achieve a sliding connection between the moving platen and the tie rod in the injection molding machine. The lubricating oil is injected into the parts that need lubrication through the lubricating oil filling port on the moving platen. The tie rod guide parts on the moving platen need to use a mold transfer guide sleeve. The lubricating oil is stored in the oil tank inside the mold transfer guide sleeve. When too much lubricating oil is added, it will overflow from the oil tank, flow to the moving platen cover through the large end surface of the mold transfer guide sleeve, and if it accumulates too much, it will overflow uncontrollably from the gap between the tie rod and the moving platen cover.

[0003] A dust ring is provided on the outside of the mold transfer guide sleeve to prevent external foreign particles from entering the sliding parts and damaging the contact surface. During each movement of the movable platen, the surface of the pull rod will pass through the oil groove of the mold transfer guide sleeve and be wrapped with an oil film. During the return stroke, part of the oil film will be scraped off by the dust ring. After a certain period of time, a large amount of lubricating oil will accumulate on the outside of the dust ring, causing it to flow out to the large mold installation surface of the movable platen. On the one hand, it will contaminate the mold clamping area, and on the other hand, it will cause a waste of lubricating grease. Within a certain period of time, the amount of lubricating grease in the movable platen cavity will be lost, and the lubricating oil needs to be replenished. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the lubricating oil in the connection part between the traditional dynamic template and the pull rod leaks out uncontrollably, thereby contaminating the large surface on which the dynamic template mold is installed. The present invention provides a lubricating structure for the pull rod transfer guide sleeve of the injection molding machine, in which the lubricating oil connecting the dynamic template and the pull rod is stored in an oil tank inside the transfer guide sleeve. Due to the movement of the dynamic template, the lubricating oil is brought out of the oil tank, and the leaked lubricating oil is effectively discharged, thereby greatly improving the cleanliness of the large surface on which the dynamic template mold is installed.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
