The servo electric cylinder 1 is mounted on the electric cylinder mounting seat component 5 with screws, and the front end docking mechanism 2 is mounted on the servo electric cylinder 1 push rod through the external thread of the electric cylinder connecting member 201. The mold docking piece 3 is installed on the movable mold to form a whole, and the mold mounting seat 4 is installed on the mold tooling to form a whole. After the servo electric cylinder 1, the electric cylinder mounting seat component 5, and the front end docking mechanism 2 are installed, the whole is quickly installed with the mold mounting seat 4 through two docking pins 502 and a quick clamp 503.

The sign 202 is mounted on the electric cylinder connecting member 201 with screws, the electric cylinder connecting member 201 is mounted on the middle connecting member 209 with screws, and the sliding seat 211 is also mounted on the middle connecting member 209 with screws. The special-shaped rotating member 210 is mounted in the large step hole in the middle of the middle connecting member 209. The step shaft at one end of the special-shaped rotating member 210 protrudes from the back of the middle connecting member 209 and is fixed in the hole of the handle mounting seat 204 with a cylindrical pin 206. The handle 205 is mounted on the handle mounting seat 204 through an external thread, and the step shaft at the other end of the special-shaped rotating member 210 is mounted on the sliding seat 2 In the blind hole in the middle of 11, one of the two tension spring pillars 207 is installed on the end face of the handle mounting seat 204, and the other is installed on the end face of the middle connecting member 209 through a threaded seat 208. The tension spring 203 is hooked on the two tension spring pillars 207 through hooks at both ends to eliminate the transmission gap and ensure that the hook-shaped member 213 is stably extended and retracted. Four pressure blocks 212 are installed on the sliding seat 211 with screws to limit the hook-shaped member 213 to move only left and right. The two hook-shaped members 213 are respectively installed between the two pressure blocks 212. Four wear-resistant polyurethane washers 214 are installed in the four mounting holes of the sliding seat 211 in a transition fit manner to protect the movable mold.

[0028] The special-shaped rotating part 210 is a stepped shaft, which is thick in the middle and thin at both ends. Two symmetrical long holes are provided on the large circular end face in the middle, which play a transmission role. The hook-shaped part 213 is provided with a round boss that cooperates with the long hole of the special-shaped rotating part 210. The round boss can only slide in the long hole. The sign 202 is engraved with the words "extend" and "retract" to facilitate the operation of the operator.

[0029] The mold docking member 3 is provided with an irregular step hole matched with the front end docking mechanism 2 and a mounting hole matched with the movable mold to assist the front end docking mechanism 2 in pushing and pulling the movable mold.

The square handle 504 is screwed to the upper part of the electric cylinder mounting seat 501 to facilitate the operator's transportation. The electric cylinder mounting seat 501 is provided with an annular mounting hole for the servo electric cylinder 1, which is used to fix the servo electric cylinder 1.

Then the servo electric cylinder 1, the electric cylinder mounting seat component 5, and the front end docking mechanism 2 are installed and the whole is quickly installed with the mold mounting seat 4 through two docking pins 502 and a quick clamp 503.

[0034] When closing the mold, the servo electric cylinder 1 pushes out the push rod, and the front end docking mechanism 2 is docked with the mold docking part 3. After the front end docking mechanism 2 enters the mold docking part 3, the handle 205 is pulled to rotate the hook-shaped part 213 to the extended state, and the push rod of the servo electric cylinder 1 will push the movable mold to move toward the workpiece. When the movable mold is pressed against the workpiece or reaches the limit of the servo electric cylinder 1, the push rod will stop moving. After the mold closing is completed, the handle 205 is pulled to rotate the hook-shaped part 213 to the retracted state, and the servo electric cylinder 1 retracts the push rod. At this time, the servo electric cylinder 1, the electric cylinder mounting seat component 5, the front end docking mechanism 2 as a whole and the mold mounting seat 4 can be quickly removed through two docking pins 502 and the quick clamp 503.

[0035] When demoulding, the servo electric cylinder 1 pushes out the push rod, the front end docking mechanism 2 enters the mold docking part 3, the handle 205 is pulled to rotate the hook-shaped part 213 to the extended state, and the push rod of the servo electric cylinder 1 pulls the movable mold to separate to the specified position. After demoulding is completed, the handle 205 is pulled to rotate the hook-shaped part 213 to the retracted state, and the servo electric cylinder 1 completely retracts the push rod. At this time, the servo electric cylinder 1, the electric cylinder mounting seat component 5, the front end docking mechanism 2 as a whole and the mold mounting seat 4 can be quickly removed through two docking pins 502 and a quick clamp 503.
