A connecting mechanism and method for use of a horizontal injection molding machine corrector

Abstract

This invention discloses a connection mechanism and usage method for a corrector in a horizontal injection molding machine, comprising a chassis assembly, a worktable fixedly mounted on the top of the chassis assembly, a molding module mounted on one side of the worktable, a protective shell movably mounted on the outside of the molding module, and a controller mounted on one side of the molding module. The corrector assembly utilizes a limiting module, an adjusting module, and a protective module internally to ensure the safety and stability of the direct connection between the corrector assembly and the extrusion module. The mounting shell limits the sliding seat, and the movement of the sliding seat controls the movement of the extrusion module, enabling stable docking between the extrusion module and the molding module. Rotating locking plates mounted on both sides of the mounting plate can lock the base at the bottom of the extrusion module, further ensuring the safety and stability of the connection between the extrusion module and the corrector assembly, preventing the extrusion module from moving when adjusted by an independent support push rod.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of horizontal injection molding machine processing technology, specifically to a connection mechanism and method for using a horizontal injection molding machine corrector. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal injection molding machines are widely used due to their ease of automation. During operation, the plasticizing device heats the raw material granules to a molten state, then applies pressure to the molten plastic, injecting it from the nozzle into the mold cavity. Existing plasticizing devices typically have heating coils located at the end of the barrel near the nozzle or directly on the barrel. As a common plastic molding equipment, the production efficiency and quality of horizontal injection molding machines are subject to strict scrutiny. However, in actual production, molding defects often occur due to various reasons. To address this issue, we plan to develop a horizontal injection molding machine correction device that automatically corrects molding defects caused by modal conditions, pressure, etc., by adjusting injection parameters.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the connection process between the corrector and the extrusion module is relatively fixed, often using bolts, which makes it inconvenient to adjust the extrusion module for the molding module. Therefore, there is a need for a connection mechanism and usage method for the corrector of a horizontal injection molding machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connection mechanism and method for use of a corrector in a horizontal injection molding machine. By using a limiting module, an adjustment module, and a protection module set inside the corrector assembly, the safety and stability of the direct connection between the corrector assembly and the extrusion module are ensured, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a connection mechanism and method for using a corrector for a horizontal injection molding machine, comprising a chassis assembly, a worktable fixedly mounted on the top of the chassis assembly, a molding module mounted on one side of the worktable, a protective shell movably mounted on the outside of the molding module, a controller mounted on one side of the molding module, a connecting wire electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller, an extrusion module movably mounted on the other side of the worktable, a base mounted on the bottom of the extrusion module, and a corrector assembly mounted inside the worktable corresponding to the position of the extrusion module;

[0006] The corrector assembly includes a limiting module for the connecting workbench, an adjustment module for connecting the extrusion module, and a protection module for plugging and protecting the connecting wires.

[0007] The limiting module includes a mounting shell embedded inside the workbench and a lead screw rotatably mounted at the center of the mounting shell.

[0008] The adjustment module includes a sliding seat slidably installed inside the mounting shell, a set of mounting plates movably installed on the upper part of the sliding seat, and rotating clamps installed on both sides of the mounting plates for locking the bottom base of the extrusion module.

[0009] The protection module includes a bellows embedded inside the sliding seat.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted inside the mounting housing, and the other end of the lead screw extends out from inside the mounting housing through one side of the mounting housing, and a connecting key for connecting with the motor is fixedly mounted on the other end of the lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the sliding seat has four sets of limiting grooves symmetrically arranged in pairs on the left and right sides. Each set of limiting grooves has a set of electric push rods at its center. Each set of electric push rods has a set of rotating connecting plates rotatably mounted on its top end. Each set of mounting plates is bolted to the top end of the rotating connecting plates.

[0012] Preferably, each set of limiting grooves has four sets of independent support push rods symmetrically installed on both sides of the electric push rod. The top of each set of independent support push rods is round, and the top of each set of independent support push rods abuts against the lower surface of the mounting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the sliding seat has a threaded hole through its center, and the lead screw passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to it.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the sliding seat is provided with a socket, the connecting wire is movably inserted into the socket, and two sets of air vents are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the socket.

[0015] Preferably, the upper surface of the sliding seat has an installation groove on the rear side of the insertion hole, the air box is embedded in the installation groove, and the output end of the air box is provided with two sets of air outlets corresponding to the two sets of air outlets, and the air outlets are inserted into the corresponding side air outlets.

[0016] Preferably, one set of rotating plates has a set of latches installed at both ends, and the other set of rotating plates has a set of latch slots at both ends.

[0017] Preferably, the latch rotates and engages inside the latch groove, the two sets of rotating plates rotate and close, and the two sets of rotating plates are set to fit against the surface of the base.

[0018] A method of using a connecting mechanism for a horizontal injection molding machine corrector includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. Before the operator inserts the connecting wire into the socket, the bellows blows strong air into the socket to blow out any impurities inside, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting wire after it is inserted.

[0020] S2. After the extrusion module is installed, the base at the bottom of the extrusion module is placed in accordance with each set of mounting plates. The operator can lock the base by rotating the rotating plate, so that the connection between the extrusion module and the correction instrument assembly is more stable.

[0021] S3. When misalignment is found between the molding module and the extrusion module, the mounting plate is supported by each set of independent support push rods. The angle of the mounting plate can be adjusted by rotating the connecting plate to change the output position of the extrusion module, thereby better completing the connection control of the extrusion module.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. The safety and stability of the direct connection between the corrector assembly and the extrusion module are ensured by the limiting module, adjustment module, and protection module set inside the corrector assembly. The mounting shell limits the sliding seat, and the movement of the sliding seat controls the movement of the extrusion module, so that the extrusion module and the forming module can be stably connected and used. The rotating clamps installed on both sides of the mounting plate can lock the base at the bottom of the extrusion module, further ensuring the safety and stability of the connection between the extrusion module and the corrector assembly, so that the extrusion module will not move when adjusted by the independent support push rod.

[0024] 2. The bellows output end is set to clean the impurities inside the socket to ensure the stability of the connection between the connecting wire and the socket, improve the stability of the connection between the controller and the corrector components, and avoid poor connection caused by impurities inside the socket during the insertion and removal process, so that the corrector components can not control the extrusion module to perform correction and adjustment.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] This invention provides: a connecting mechanism for a horizontal injection molding machine corrector, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a chassis assembly 1, a worktable 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the chassis assembly 1, a forming module 3 mounted on one side of the worktable 2, a protective shell 4 movably mounted on the outside of the forming module 3, a controller 5 mounted on one side of the forming module 3, and a connecting wire 20 electrically connected to the output of the controller 5. An extrusion module 6 is movably mounted on the other side of the worktable 2, a base 7 mounted on the bottom of the extrusion module 6, and a corrector assembly 8 mounted inside the worktable 2 corresponding to the position of the extrusion module 6. The corrector assembly 8 includes a limiting module for connecting to the worktable 2 and a connecting... The extrusion module 6 includes an adjustment module and a protection module for plugging and protecting the connecting wire 20; the limiting module includes a mounting shell 9 embedded in the workbench 2 and a lead screw 10 rotatably mounted at the center of the mounting shell 9; the adjustment module includes a sliding seat 12 slidably mounted inside the mounting shell 9, a set of mounting plates 22 movably mounted on the upper part of the sliding seat 12, and rotating locking plates 23 mounted on both sides of the mounting plates 22 for locking the bottom base 7 of the extrusion module 6; the protection module includes a bellows 21 embedded in the sliding seat 12.

[0033] Preferably, one end of the lead screw 10 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting housing 9, and the other end of the lead screw 10 extends out of the mounting housing 9 through one side. A connecting key for connecting to the motor is fixedly mounted on the other end of the lead screw 10. The lead screw 10, which is rotatably mounted in the center of the mounting housing 9, can control the specific position of the sliding seat 12, thereby enabling the device to better adjust the output position of the extrusion module 6. Furthermore, the limiting of the sliding seat 12 by the mounting housing 9 and the lead screw 10 improves the connectivity between the devices, enabling the device to work stably. The connecting key mounted on the other end of the lead screw 10 allows the lead screw 10 to be stably connected to an external motor, allowing it to rotate freely in both directions, making the movement of the extrusion module 6 more free.

[0034] Furthermore, four sets of limiting grooves 13 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the sliding seat 12, with an electric push rod 14 at the center of each limiting groove 13. A set of rotating connecting plates 15 are rotatably installed at the top of each set of electric push rods 14. Each set of mounting plates 22 is bolted to the top of the rotating connecting plate 15. The limiting grooves 13 on the upper surface of the sliding seat 12 allow each set of mounting plates 22 to be lowered freely, thereby controlling the height of the extrusion module 6. The electric push rods 14 installed inside each set of limiting grooves 13 control the height of the rotating connecting plate 15. Together with the independent support push rod 16, the rotating connecting plate 15 can rotate freely using the rotation of each set of mounting plates 22, thereby completing the adjustment of any one or more sets of bases 7 at the bottom of the extrusion module 6, satisfying the control and connection of the extrusion module 6.

[0035] Furthermore, within each set of limiting grooves 13, four sets of independent support push rods 16 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the electric push rod 14. The top of each set of independent support push rods 16 is round, and the top of each set of independent support push rods 16 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting plate 22. The installed independent support push rods 16 can work independently to control any angle of a single set of mounting plates 22, thereby satisfying the control of the angle of the extrusion module 6 in a single direction, improving the accuracy of the extrusion module 6 docking with the forming module 3, and further ensuring the processing quality of the device.

[0036] It is worth noting that a threaded hole 17 is provided through the center of the sliding seat 12. The lead screw 10 passes through the threaded hole 17 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 17. The sliding seat 12 slides inside the mounting shell 9, and the cooperation between the threaded hole 17 and the lead screw 10 makes the sliding seat 12 more stable, thereby limiting the connection between the lifting sliding seat 12 and the extrusion module 6.

[0037] Specifically, the upper surface of the sliding seat 12 is provided with a socket 19, and the connecting wire 20 is movably inserted into the socket 19. Two sets of air vents are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the socket 19. The socket 19 on the surface of the sliding seat 12 is inserted into the connecting wire 20, and the air vent inside the socket 19 is locked so that the air box 21 can stably output to the socket 19 to blow out impurities inside the socket 19, making the insertion and connection of the connecting wire 20 more stable.

[0038] In addition, an installation groove 18 is provided on the upper surface of the sliding seat 12 behind the socket 19. The air box 21 is embedded in the installation groove 18. The output end of the air box 21 is provided with two sets of air outlets corresponding to the two sets of air outlets, and the air outlets are inserted into the corresponding side air outlets. The installation groove 18 limits the position of the air box 21, so that the output end of the air box 21 can be stably used with the corresponding air outlet to ensure the cleaning of impurities inside the socket 19.

[0039] Preferably, one set of rotating plates 23 has a set of latches 24 installed at each end, and the other set of rotating plates 23 has a set of latching grooves 25 opened at each end. The latches 24 rotate and engage with the latching grooves 25, and the two sets of rotating plates 23 rotate and close. The two sets of rotating plates 23 are set to fit against the surface of the base 7. The rotating plates 23 installed on both sides of the mounting plate 22 can be closed. The positioning of the rotating plates 23 is completed by the insertion of the latches 24 and the latching grooves 25, thereby ensuring that the two sets of rotating plates 23 limit the base 7 after closing, making the connection between the corrector assembly 8 and the extrusion module 6 more stable and safe.

[0040] A method of using a connecting mechanism for a horizontal injection molding machine corrector includes the following steps:

[0041] S1. Before the operator inserts the connecting wire 20 into the socket 19, the bellows 21 blows strong air into the socket 19 to blow out any impurities inside the socket 19, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting wire 20 after it is inserted.

[0042] S2. After the extrusion module 6 is installed, the base 7 at the bottom of the extrusion module 6 is placed in accordance with each set of mounting plates 22. The operator can lock the base 7 by rotating the rotating plate 23, so that the connection between the extrusion module 6 and the correction instrument assembly 8 is more stable.

[0043] S3. When misalignment is found between the molding module 3 and the extrusion module 6, the mounting plate 22 is supported by the independent support push rods 16 of each group. The rotating connecting plate 15 can rotate to adjust the angle of the mounting plate 22, thereby changing the output position of the extrusion module 6 and thus better completing the connection control of the extrusion module 6.

[0044] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
