The thrust seat 20 drives the bumper 1 to move, and a safety groove 101 is provided on the bumper 1. A clamping block 2 matching the safety groove 1 is provided on the side of the second connecting block 31 away from the first connecting block 21. One end of the clamping block 2 is hinged to the second connecting block 31, and the other end of the clamping block 2 can be buckled in the safety groove 101 and detached from the safety groove 1.

[0022] One end of the card block 2 is provided with a rotation control device for controlling the card block 2 to rotate around the hinge point between the card block 2 and the second connecting block 31. The control device includes a bracket 3 and a limit block 4 connected to the safety door 40 of the clamping mechanism of the injection molding machine. The bracket 3 is provided with a rotatable connecting shaft 5, one end of the connecting shaft 5 is connected to a roller 7 through a first connecting rod 6, and the roller 7 abuts against the limit block 4. The other end of the connecting shaft 5 is connected to an intermediate hinge arm 9 through a second connecting rod 8. One end of the intermediate hinge arm 9 is hinged to the second connecting rod 8, and the other end of the intermediate hinge arm 9 is hinged to one end of the card block 2 away from the hinge point between the card block 2 and the second connecting block 31;

[0023] The limiting block 4 includes a horizontal limiting end 401 and an inclined limiting end 402 , and the roller 7 can abut against the bottom side of the horizontal limiting end 401 and the bottom side of the inclined limiting end 402 .

[0024] The bracket 3 includes two legs 301 , and the top of each leg 301 is connected to the connecting shaft 5 via a bearing 302 .

[0025] The first connecting rod 6 is located outside the two legs 301, and the axis of the first connecting rod 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft 5. The second connecting rod 8 is located between the two legs 301, and the axis of the second connecting rod 8 is parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 5. Both ends of the second connecting rod 8 are fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 5 through fixing rods 13.

[0026] One end of the intermediate articulated arm 9 is hinged to the second connecting rod 8 through a sliding sleeve 10, and the other end is provided with a connecting plate 901, and a first through hole 902 is provided on the connecting plate 901. The block 2 is provided with two ear plates 201 near one end of the intermediate articulated arm 9, and each ear plate 201 is provided with a second through hole 202. The connecting plate 901 of the intermediate articulated arm 9 is inserted between the two ear plates 201 and is hinged through the first hinge shaft 11. The other end of the block 2 is provided with a third through hole 203, and the third through hole 203 is provided with a second hinge shaft 12 for hingedly connecting the second connecting block 31 to the block 2.

[0027] The safety slot 101 is inclined at a side close to the first connection block 21 , and an end of the inclined side close to the first connection block 21 is higher than an end away from the first connection block 21 .

[0028] The present invention is specifically used as follows:

[0029] When the safety door 40 of the injection molding machine is closed, the roller 7 is separated from the limit block 4. At this time, the rotation control device of the clamping block 2 controls the clamping block 2 to separate from the safety groove 101, making it convenient for the bumper 1 to move under the drive of the thrust seat 20, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the mold of the injection molding machine.

[0030] When the safety door 40 of the injection molding machine is opened, the limit block 4 connected to the safety door 40 moves with it, and the roller 7 first contacts the bottom side of the inclined limit end 402 of the limit block, and continuously moves toward the horizontal limit end 401. In the process from the inclined limit end 402 to the horizontal limit end 401, the connecting shaft 5 rotates under the limiting effect of the limit block 4 on the roller 7. The rotating connecting shaft 5 drives the second connecting rod 8 to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 5. The second connecting shaft 8 is connected to the intermediate hinge arm 9. The block 2 is pulled down until it is buckled in the safety groove 101, and the bumper is locked to play a safety role. When the block 2 needs to be opened, just close the safety door to make the roller 7 disengage from the limit block 4. In the process of the roller 7 disengaging from the limit block 4, since the second connecting rod 8 is arranged on one side of the connecting shaft 5, when the roller 7 is not restricted by the limit block 4, the second connecting rod 8 is reset under the action of the gravity on the side of the second connecting rod 8, thereby driving the limit block 4 to reset, that is, disengaging from the safety groove 101.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
