[0016] The present invention also discloses a continuous injection molding process, which uses the above-mentioned continuous injection molding device and comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1. First, after a group of the upper mold and the lower mold are molded together, the raw material is injected into the upper mold and the lower mold through the injection molding machine, and then the driving motor can be started. The output end of the driving motor drives the one-way threaded screw to rotate, thereby driving the slider to drive one of the first mold seats to move horizontally, thereby driving another first mold seat to move synchronously through the connecting rod, so that the new upper mold and the lower mold are moved to one side of the feed barrel, so that the upper mold and the lower mold that need to be cooled are moved to the next place. After the removed upper mold and the lower mold are cooled and discharged, the upper mold and the lower mold located at the injection position are injected, and then the driving motor is started again, and the output end of the driving motor rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the two first mold seats to reset through the one-way threaded screw. In this reciprocating manner, the two groups of molds can be switched, thereby reducing the cooling time inside the mold and the waiting time for unloading, thereby improving the efficiency of injection molding;

[0018] S2. When the mold needs to be switched, the electric push rod is started, and the output end of the electric push rod drives the sealing ring to drive the auxiliary sleeve to reset, so that the pressure on the auxiliary spring is gradually reduced, so that the first piston block is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove, thereby blocking it, so as to prevent the external air from entering the upper mold and the lower mold during the cooling process of the molded products, thereby ensuring the stability of the molded products after injection;

[0019] S3, when the auxiliary sleeve moves toward the outside of the second mold base, when the second piston block is separated from the first piston block, the auxiliary sleeve is still inside the guide hole, and the auxiliary sleeve moves at this time, so that the first piston block no longer squeezes the first spur rack, and then the connecting spring pushes the first spur rack to reset, thereby driving the second spur rack to reset the second piston block through the rotating shaft, so that the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve is blocked by the reset of the second piston block, so as to prevent the outside air from entering the inside of the feed barrel along the auxiliary sleeve and affecting the re-injection process of the molten raw material inside, thereby improving the overall stability of the device;

[0020] S4, when the upper mold and the lower mold are switched to the position of the feed barrel, the output end of the electric push rod drives the sliding sleeve to dock with the second mold seat again, and when the auxiliary sleeve and the guide hole are slightly misaligned, the conical surface of the outer wall of the auxiliary sleeve contacts the conical groove, and the spherical block can be driven to rotate under the action of the conical groove, so that the position of the auxiliary sleeve can be adjusted, so that the auxiliary sleeve and the guide hole can always dock when there is a slight offset between the auxiliary sleeve and the guide hole, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device;

[0021] S5. After the first piston block is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove, the air guide hole is aligned with the arched groove. After the upper mold and the lower mold are cooled and unloaded, the high-pressure air pump can be started. The high-pressure air pump sprays high-pressure gas to flush the arched groove and rush the lower mold out through the air guide hole, thereby unblocking the feed port, thereby avoiding blockage, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device;

[0022] S6. When the equipment performs injection molding, the raw material in the feed barrel is introduced into the interior of the arched groove through the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve, and flows into the interior of the lower mold through the guide hole for injection molding.

[0023] Compared with the related art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The present invention arranges structures such as threaded screws. First, after a group of upper molds and lower molds are molded together and raw materials are injected into the upper molds and lower molds through an injection molding machine, a driving motor can be started. The output end of the driving motor drives the one-way threaded screw to rotate, thereby driving the slider to drive a first mold base to move laterally, thereby driving another first mold base to move synchronously through a connecting rod, thereby moving the new upper mold and lower mold to one side of the feed barrel, so that the upper mold and lower mold that need to be cooled are moved to the next place. After the removed upper mold and lower mold are cooled and discharged, the upper mold and lower mold located at the injection position are injected, and the driving motor is started again. The output end of the driving motor rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the two first mold bases to reset through the one-way threaded screw. In this reciprocating manner, the two groups of molds can be switched, thereby reducing the time for cooling the inside of the mold and waiting for unloading, thereby improving the efficiency of injection molding.

[0025] The present invention arranges the first piston block and other structures. When the mold needs to be switched, the electric push rod is started. The output end of the electric push rod drives the sealing ring to drive the auxiliary sleeve to reset, so that the pressure on the auxiliary spring is gradually reduced, so that the first piston block is blocked at the feed inlet of the arched groove after being reset, thereby sealing it, thereby preventing the external air from entering the upper and lower molds during the cooling process of the products molded inside the molds, thereby ensuring the stability of the molded products after injection.

[0026] The present invention arranges the second piston block and other structures. When the auxiliary sleeve moves toward the outside of the second mold base and the second piston block is separated from the first piston block, the auxiliary sleeve is still in the guide hole. At this time, the auxiliary sleeve moves, so that the first piston block no longer squeezes the first spur rack, and then the connecting spring pushes the first spur rack to reset, thereby driving the second spur rack to reset the second piston block through the rotating shaft, so that the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve is blocked by the reset of the second piston block, thereby preventing outside air from entering the feed barrel along the auxiliary sleeve and affecting the injection molding process of the molten raw material inside, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.

[0027] The present invention arranges structures such as conical grooves. When the upper mold and the lower mold are switched to the position of the feed barrel, the output end of the electric push rod drives the sliding sleeve to dock with the second mold seat again. When the auxiliary sleeve and the guide hole are slightly misaligned, the conical surface of the outer wall of the auxiliary sleeve contacts the conical groove. Under the action of the conical groove, the spherical block can be driven to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the auxiliary sleeve, so that the auxiliary sleeve can always dock with the guide hole when the auxiliary sleeve is slightly offset, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0028] 5. The present invention arranges structures such as air guide holes. When the first piston block is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove, the air guide holes are aligned with the arched groove. After the upper and lower molds are cooled and unloaded, the high-pressure air pump can be started. The high-pressure air pump sprays high-pressure gas to flush the arched groove and rush out of the lower mold through the guide holes, thereby unblocking the feed port to avoid blockage, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device.

At this time, the auxiliary sleeve 27 moves, so that the first piston block 32 no longer squeezes the first straight rack 39, and then the connecting spring 38 pushes the first straight rack 39 to reset, thereby driving the second straight rack 40 to reset the second piston block 37 through the rotating shaft 42, so that the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve 27 is blocked by the reset of the second piston block 37, so as to prevent the outside air from entering the inside of the feed barrel 7 along the auxiliary sleeve 27 and affecting the injection molding process of the molten raw material inside, thereby improving the overall stability of the device;

[0059] S4, when the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 9 are switched to the position of the feed barrel 7, the output end of the electric push rod 21 drives the sliding sleeve 23 to dock with the second mold seat 5 again, and when the auxiliary sleeve 27 and the guide hole 26 are slightly misaligned, the conical surface 10 of the outer wall of the auxiliary sleeve 27 contacts the conical groove 28, and the spherical block 18 can be moved to rotate under the action of the conical groove 28, so that the position of the auxiliary sleeve 27 can be adjusted, so that the auxiliary sleeve 27 and the guide hole 26 can always dock when there is a slight offset, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device;

[0060] S5. After the first piston block 32 is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove 30, the air guide hole 34 is aligned with the arched groove 30. After the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 9 are cooled and unloaded, the high-pressure air pump 25 can be started. The high-pressure air pump 25 sprays high-pressure gas to flush the arched groove 30 and rush out the lower mold 9 through the guide hole 26, thereby clearing the feed port thereof, thereby avoiding blockage, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device;

[0061] S6. When the equipment performs injection molding, the raw material in the feed barrel 7 is introduced into the arched groove 30 through the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve 27, and flows into the lower mold 9 through the guide hole 26 for injection molding.

The output end of the drive motor (13) drives the one-way threaded screw (14) to rotate, thereby driving the slider (15) to drive one of the first mold bases (3) to move horizontally, thereby driving another first mold base (3) to move synchronously through the connecting rod (16), so as to move the new upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) to the position located at the feed barrel (7). The upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) that need to be cooled are moved to the next position. After the upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) that have been moved are cooled and discharged, the upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) located at the injection position are injected. The drive motor (13) is started again, and the output end of the drive motor (13) rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the two first mold seats (3) to reset through the one-way threaded screw (14). In this reciprocating manner, the two sets of molds can be switched, thereby reducing the time for cooling the inside of the mold and waiting for unloading, thereby improving the efficiency of injection molding. S2. When the mold needs to be switched, the electric push rod (21) is started, and the output end of the electric push rod (21) drives the sealing ring (22) to drive the auxiliary sleeve (27) to reset, so that the pressure on the auxiliary spring (33) is gradually reduced, so that the first piston block (32) is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove (30), thereby blocking it, thereby preventing the external air from entering the upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) during the cooling process of the molded product, thereby ensuring the stability of the molded product after injection molding; S3. When the auxiliary sleeve (27) moves toward the outside of the second mold base (5), the second piston block (37) separates from the first piston block (32), and the auxiliary sleeve (27) is still inside the guide hole (26). At this time, the auxiliary sleeve (27) moves, so that the first piston block (32) no longer presses the first spur rack (39), so that the connecting spring (38) pushes the first spur rack (39) to reset, thereby driving the second spur rack (40) to reset the second piston block (37) through the rotating shaft (42), so that the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve (27) is blocked by the reset of the second piston block (37), thereby preventing outside air from entering the inside of the feed barrel (7) along the auxiliary sleeve (27) and affecting the re-injection process of the molten raw material inside, thereby improving the overall stability of the device; S4, when the upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) are switched to the position of the feed barrel (7), the output end of the electric push rod (21) drives the sliding sleeve (23) to dock with the second mold base (5) again, and when the auxiliary sleeve (27) and the guide hole (26) are slightly misaligned, the conical surface (10) of the outer wall of the auxiliary sleeve (27) contacts the conical groove (28), and the spherical block (18) can be driven to rotate under the action of the conical groove (28), so that the position of the auxiliary sleeve (27) can be adjusted, so that when the auxiliary sleeve (27) and the guide hole (26) are slightly offset, the two can always dock, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device; S5. After the first piston block (32) is reset and blocks the feed port of the arched groove (30), the air guide hole (34) is aligned with the arched groove (30). After the upper mold (4) and the lower mold (9) are cooled and unloaded, the high-pressure air pump (25) can be started. The high-pressure air pump (25) sprays high-pressure gas to flush the arched groove (30) and pass through the air guide hole (26) to flush the lower mold (9), thereby clearing the feed port, thereby avoiding blockage, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device; S6. When the equipment performs injection molding, the raw material in the feed barrel (7) is introduced into the interior of the arched groove (30) through the discharge port of the auxiliary sleeve (27), and flows into the interior of the lower mold (9) through the guide hole (26) for injection molding.
