[0028] Two side grooves 34 are symmetrically provided on the left side of the ring frame 1, and a screw rod 35 is rotatably connected inside the side groove 34. A screw plate 36 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw rod 35. The upper and lower ends of the screw plate 36 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 37. A lifting plate 38 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 37 away from the screw plate 36. A guide rod 7 is fixed to the right side of the lifting plate 38. A vertical rod 39 is fixed to the outer surface of the lifting plate 38. The vertical rod 39 is slidably connected to the ring frame 1. The opposite ends of the two screw rods 35 penetrate to the outside of the ring frame 1 and are fixed with gears 40. A gear ring 41 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the ring frame 1, and the left side of the gear ring 41 is meshed with the two gears 40; a person can rotate the gear ring 41 to rotate the screw rod 35 under the transmission of the two gears 40, thereby moving the screw plate 36 and driving the lifting plate 38 to move through the connecting rod 37, thereby adjusting the positions of the four guide rods 7 to adapt to the use of molds 6 of different sizes and positions;

[0029] Two molds 6 are commonly arranged on the outer surfaces of the four guide rods 7. The left side of the mold 6 on the left side is connected with an injection port 8. A base 2 is fixed to the bottom of the ring frame 1. A bottom plate 3 is fixed to the right side of the base 2. A bracket 4 is fixed to the right end of the bottom plate 3. A hydraulic mechanism 5 is arranged on the top of the bracket 4. The left end of the hydraulic mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the mold 6 on the right side.

[0030] When in use, the hydraulic mechanism 5 is used to push the mold 6 on the right side to merge with the mold 6 on the left side, and then the motor 32 is controlled to operate and drive the claw ring 10 to rotate through the transmission wheel 33. The claw groove 12 rotates to guide the claw rod 13 to make the connecting frame 14 and the lifting frame 15 move toward the mold 6, and the pressing block 18 contacts the surface of the mold 6, and then the lifting frame 15 continues to move. The pressing block 18 moves inwardly into the lifting frame 15, and at the same time, the gear plates 21 on both sides are driven by the gear cylinder 22 to move back and forth, thereby driving the pry frame 23 to pry the lock plate 28 with the movable rod 1 25 as the base point (when the pry frame 23 rotates, the movable groove 1 24 arranged inside it will rotate and slide on the outside of the movable rod 1 25), so that the lock plate 28 moves laterally along the slideway 26 through the slide plate 27 (the pry frame 23 pushes the lock plate 28 to move through the movable rod 2 31 at the bottom to resist the inner wall of the movable groove 2 30, and it rotates and slides on the inner wall of the movable groove 2 30), until the two sides of the two molds 6 are contacted and locked. At this time, Figure 1-5 As shown, the mold closing operation can be realized, and the thickness of the two molds 6 after the merger can be automatically adapted;

[0031] The molten metal is injected through the injection port 8. After cooling and forming, the hydraulic mechanism 5 retracts to bring the mold 6 on the right and the internally formed metal parts to the top of the base plate 3. The metal parts are removed by the demoulding mechanism. A transmission mechanism can be set at the base plate 3 for moving the metal parts.

[0032] Reference Figure 2-4 A gasket 9 is provided on the outer surface of the guide rod 7, and the gasket 9 is located between the left guide rod 7 and the lifting plate 38. Gaskets 9 of different thicknesses can be replaced according to the thickness of the two molds 6 to be molded, so that the two molds 6 are located in the middle of the two lifting frames 15.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-5 The opposite sides of the two locking plates 28 are respectively fitted with the back sides of the two molds 6, and the opposite sides of the two pressing blocks 18 are fitted with the outer surfaces of the two molds 6. The locking plates 28 clamp and fix the two molds 6 to prevent the molds 6 from being stretched open under the pressure of the molten metal.

[0034] Reference Figure 6 The outer surface of the screw plate 36 fits with the inner surface of the side groove 34 so that the side groove 34 limits it, so that the screw plate 36 can slide stably when the screw rod 35 rotates.

The two gear cylinders 22 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the pressing block 18. The gear cylinder 22 is located below the tooth plate 21.
