Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of injection molding machines, and particularly to an injection molding machine with high adaptability. Background Art

[0002] An injection molding machine is also known as an injection molding press or an injection machine. It is the main molding equipment for making various shaped plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molding dies. It is divided into vertical, horizontal, and all-electric types. The injection molding machine can heat the plastic, apply high pressure to the molten plastic, and inject it to fill the mold cavity.

[0003] A patent with the application number CN202223164831.1 discloses an injection molding machine that is convenient for maintenance. Although this injection molding machine facilitates the disassembly and installation of the fixed mold mounting plate, there are still the following drawbacks when installing the fixed mold on the fixed mold mounting plate and the moving mold on the moving mold mounting plate: 1) When the fixed mold is integrally formed with the fixed mold mounting plate and the moving mold is integrally formed with the moving mold mounting plate, in this case, when it is necessary to replace the fixed mold and the moving mold, it is often necessary to disassemble and replace the entire fixed mold and the fixed mold mounting plate and the moving mold and the moving mold mounting plate, which is not only time-consuming and laborious but also causes a huge waste of materials; 2) When the fixed mold is detachably connected to the fixed mold mounting plate and the moving mold is detachably connected to the moving mold mounting plate, in this case, when it is necessary to replace the fixed mold and the moving mold, it is only necessary to disassemble the fixed mold from the fixed mold mounting plate and the moving mold from the moving mold mounting plate and replace them with new fixed mold and moving mold. This detachable method often uses screws for locking and disassembly. When the operator installs the fixed mold (or moving mold), first, the first threaded holes on the fixed mold (or moving mold) need to be aligned with the first threaded holes on the fixed mold mounting plate (or moving mold mounting plate). When the fixed mold (or moving mold) is small and light in weight, the installation difficulty for the operator is relatively low. When the fixed mold (or moving mold) is large and heavy, the operator not only has to hold the fixed mold (or moving mold) but also align the first threaded holes, and the installation difficulty is very high; 3) When replacing the fixed mold and the moving mold, it is often necessary to replace the cooling mechanism together, which not only causes waste of materials but also greatly increases the cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-adaptability injection molding machine that is convenient for replacing the fixed mold and the moving mold. Summary of the Invention

[0017] 1.

Detailed implementation manner

[0034] The following will combine the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention Figures 1-13 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] The present invention provides a technical solution: a high - adaptability injection molding machine, including a support base 1. An injection mechanism 2 and a mold - clamping mechanism 3 are connected to the support base 1. The mold - clamping mechanism 3 includes a first support plate 4 fixed on the support base 1. A fixed - mold mounting plate 5 is fixed on the first support plate 4. A fixed mold 6 is detachably connected to the fixed - mold mounting plate 5. The fixed mold 6 is connected to a movable mold 7 in an open - and - close manner. After the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6 are clamped, a mold cavity 8 is formed. The movable mold 7 is detachably connected to a movable - mold mounting plate 9. An opening - and - closing driving mechanism 10 is provided on the movable - mold mounting plate 9. A plurality of T - shaped grooves 11 and first threaded holes 12 are provided on both the movable - mold mounting plate 9 and the fixed - mold mounting plate 5. During operation, first, the required movable mold 7 is installed on the movable - mold mounting plate 9. A T - shaped insert block matching the T - shaped groove 11 is provided on the movable mold 7, and a second threaded hole matching the first threaded hole 12 is also provided on the movable mold 7. During installation, only need to insert the T - shaped insert block into the T - shaped groove 11 until the inner end of the T - shaped insert block abuts against the inner end of the T - shaped groove 11 and cannot move inward any further. At this time, the second threaded hole on the movable mold 7 is exactly aligned with the first threaded hole 12. Then, it only needs to be fixed with screws. The fixed mold 6 is also installed on the fixed - mold mounting plate 5 by the same method. After that, the opening - and - closing driving mechanism 10 is started to push the movable - mold mounting plate 9 towards the fixed - mold mounting plate 5 until the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6 reach the mold - clamping position. Then, the injection mechanism 2 injects the molten plastic raw material into the mold cavity 8. After the plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8 is fully cooled and formed, the opening - and - closing driving mechanism 10 is started to separate the movable mold 7 from the fixed mold 6. Then, the finished product in the mold cavity 8 is taken out for the next round of injection molding. Just repeat this process until the required amount of finished products is completed. Through the setting of the T - shaped groove 11 in the present invention, during the installation process of the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6, the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 is well - limited, so that the second threaded hole on the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 is aligned with the first threaded hole 12 on the movable - mold mounting plate 9 or the fixed - mold mounting plate 5. This greatly facilitates the alignment of the first threaded hole 12 and the second threaded hole, without the need for operators to align them additionally, and also ensures the alignment accuracy of the first threaded hole 12 and the second threaded hole. In addition, through the setting of the T - shaped groove 11, after the T - shaped insert block is inserted into the T - shaped groove 11, there is no need for operators to hold the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 anymore. Operators only need to directly install the screws, which is very convenient. This can adapt to movable molds 7 and fixed molds 6 of different sizes and different masses, greatly improving the adaptability of the injection molding machine.

[0036] The opening and closing drive mechanism 10 includes a second support plate 13 fixed to the support base 1. A first oil cylinder 14 is fixedly penetrated through the second support plate 13. The end of the piston rod of the first oil cylinder 14 is fixed with a first moving plate 15. The first moving plate 15 is connected with a second moving plate 17 through a plurality of first connecting rods 16. The second moving plate 17 is connected with a moving mold mounting plate 9 through a plurality of second connecting rods 18. This is the specific structure of the opening and closing drive mechanism 10. When it is necessary to close the moving mold 7 and the fixed mold 6, the first oil cylinder 14 is started, and its piston rod extends, so that the first moving plate 15 moves in a direction away from the first oil cylinder 14, and then drives the second moving plate 17 to move in a direction away from the first oil cylinder 14, and then drives the moving mold mounting plate 9 and the moving mold 7 fixed thereon to move in a direction away from the first oil cylinder 14, and finally the moving mold 7 and the fixed mold 6 are closed. When it is necessary to separate the moving mold 7 and the fixed mold 6, the piston rod of the first oil cylinder 14 only needs to move in the reverse direction. The second connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected with the moving mold mounting plate 9. The second connecting rod 18 penetrates through the fixed mold mounting plate 5 and the first support plate 4 and is movably connected with the fixed mold mounting plate 5 and the first support plate 4. This setting plays a good guiding role, enabling the moving mold 7 and the fixed mold 6 to be accurately closed. Four second connecting rods 18 are provided, which are respectively connected to four pairs of opposite corners of the second moving plate 17 and the moving mold mounting plate 9. This not only greatly improves the stability of mold closing and mold opening, but also makes the reserved installation positions on the moving mold mounting plate 9 and the fixed mold mounting plate 5 as large as possible, so that the moving mold mounting plate 9 and the fixed mold mounting plate 5 can be adapted to a wider range of sizes of the moving mold 7 and the fixed mold 6. Four first connecting rods 16 are provided, which are respectively connected to four pairs of opposite corners of the first moving plate 15 and the second moving plate 17.

[0037] A third support plate 19 is provided between the first moving plate 15 and the second moving plate 17. The third support plate 19 is fixed on the support base 1, and the first connecting rod 16 passes through the third support plate 19. A stop block 20 is fixed on the third support plate 19. A connecting shaft 21 opposite to the stop block 20 is penetrated through the second moving plate 17. A movable block 22 is fixed to the right end of the connecting shaft 21. A thimble 23 is fixed to the movable block 22. The thimble 23 penetrates through a spring 24. The left end of the spring 24 is fixed to the movable block 22, and its right end is fixed to the moving die mounting plate 9. A first channel 25 and a second channel 26 through which the thimble 23 shuttles are respectively provided on the moving die mounting plate 9 and the moving die 7. The right end of the second channel 26 is communicated with the mold cavity 8. Since the finished product formed from the plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8 often adheres to the mold cavity 8, it is often time-consuming and laborious to take out the finished product in the mold cavity 8. Therefore, the setting facilitates the taking out of the finished product in the mold cavity 8. The specific process is as follows: After the plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8 is fully cooled and formed, the opening and closing driving mechanism 10 is started to separate the moving die 7 from the fixed die 6. During the process of the moving die 7 moving away from the fixed die 6, when the connecting shaft 21 touches the stop block 20, the movable block 22 will be pushed to the right, and then the thimble 23 will be pushed to the right, and then the finished product in the mold cavity 8 will be pushed out, greatly improving the efficiency of taking out the finished product in the mold cavity 8. The bottoms of the first moving plate 15 and the second moving plate 17 are slidably connected to the support base 1.

[0038] A first cavity 27 is formed at the central position of the moving die mounting plate 9. A second cavity 28 communicating with the first cavity 27 is formed on the moving die 7. A cooling mechanism 29 is slidably connected in the first cavity 27 and the second cavity 28. A first rack 30 is fixed to the left side of the cooling mechanism 29. The first rack 30 meshes with a gear 31. The gear 31 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 32. The connecting plate 32 is fixed to the second connecting rod 18. A second rack 50 is fixed to the movable block 22. The cooling mechanism 29 can quickly cool the high-temperature molten plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8, improving the cooling efficiency. However, in the prior art, the cooling mechanism 29 is often not arranged in the moving die mounting plate 9 and the fixed die mounting plate 5 because the above arrangement is far from the mold cavity 8, resulting in poor cooling efficiency and effect. Therefore, the cooling mechanism 29 is often arranged at a position close to the mold cavity 8 in the moving die 7 or at a position close to the mold cavity 8 in the fixed die 6, or arranged at positions close to the mold cavity 8 in both the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6. Therefore, when replacing the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6, the cooling mechanism 29 arranged therein needs to be replaced together. This not only wastes materials and is not conducive to resource conservation, but also greatly increases the cost of mold replacement. Therefore, through the arrangement of the movable cooling mechanism 29, the reuse of the cooling mechanism 29 is realized. Without affecting the replacement of the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6, resources are greatly saved and the reuse of the cooling mechanism 29 is achieved. A slider is provided at the top of the cooling mechanism 29. Matching chutes are provided on the top surfaces of the first cavity 27 and the second cavity 28 for the slider. After the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6 are clamped, the cooling mechanism 29 abuts against the right side wall of the second cavity 28, that is, close to the mold cavity 8. In this way, after the plastic raw material is injected into the mold cavity 8, the mold cavity 8 and the plastic raw material therein can be quickly and efficiently cooled. The right end of the ejector pin 23 is located at the left end of the first channel 25 when the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6 are in the clamped state. The right end of the second rack 50 approaches the gear 31 but does not contact it. The specific working principle is as follows: When the plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8 is fully cooled and formed, the opening and closing driving mechanism 10 is activated to separate the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6, and then synchronously drive the cooling mechanism 29, the first rack 30 and the gear 31 to move away from the fixed die 6 to the left together. When the connecting shaft 21 touches the stop block 20, the movable block 22 will be pushed to the right, and then the ejector pin 23 and the second rack 50 will be pushed to the right. The ejector pin 23 moves to the right along the first channel 25. During the rightward movement of the second rack 50, it will mesh with the gear 31, pushing the gear 31 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the gear 31 drives the first rack 30 to move to the left, and then drives the cooling mechanism 29 fixed to the first rack 30 to slide to the left. When the right end face of the cooling mechanism 29 slides to be flush with the right end face of the moving die mounting plate 9, the ejector pin 23 just runs to the right until its right end face is flush with the right end face of the moving die mounting plate 9, as shown in Figure 11As shown, that is, the right end faces of the ejector pin 23, the moving die mounting plate 9, and the cooling mechanism 29 are all located on the same vertical plane. Then, the ejector pin 23 is pushed to continue moving rightward into the second channel 26 until it enters the mold cavity 8 to eject the finished product inside. During the process when the ejector pin 23 enters the second channel 26 and ejects the finished product, the cooling mechanism 29 continues to be pulled leftward. When the ejector pin 23 ejects the finished product in the mold cavity 8, the positional relationship among the ejector pin 23, the moving die mounting plate 9, and the cooling mechanism 29 is as Figure 12 shown. Then, the opening and closing drive mechanism 10 moves in the reverse direction, causing the moving die 7 to move towards the fixed die 6. During this process, the ejector pin 23 will retract leftward, and the cooling mechanism 29 will slide rightward until the right end faces of the ejector pin 23, the moving die mounting plate 9, and the cooling mechanism 29 are aligned. At this time, the opening and closing drive mechanism 10 stops operating. At this time, the moving die 7 can be replaced. First, the old moving die 7 is disassembled from the moving die mounting plate 9. At this time, since both the ejector pin 23 and the cooling mechanism 29 are located within the moving die mounting plate 9, it does not affect the insertion of the T-shaped insert block on the new moving die 7 into the T-shaped groove 11. Then, the moving die 7 is fixed to the moving die mounting plate 9 with screws. After that, the fixed die 6 is replaced, and then the opening and closing drive mechanism 10 is started again for mold closing. Through this setting, the present invention realizes the reuse of the cooling mechanism 29 without affecting the installation of the moving die 7, greatly saving resources. Among them, the cooling mechanism 29 slides within the first channel 25 and the second channel 26 without the need to provide additional driving power. Instead, like the ejector pin 23, it utilizes the retraction and ejection of the stopper 20 on the movable block 22 during the mold closing or mold opening process between the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6 to provide the sliding power, greatly saving energy. To ensure that the first rack 30 is not blocked by the movable block 22 and the second moving plate 17 during its leftward movement, a through slot through which the first rack 30 can pass can be opened thereon. Among them, in the mold closed state of the moving die 7 and the fixed die 6, the distance A from the right end face of the ejector pin 23 to the right end face of the moving die mounting plate 9 is slightly greater than the distance B from the right end face of the cooling mechanism 29 to the right end face of the moving die mounting plate 9 because the second rack 50 needs to move rightward a certain distance when contacting the gear 31, and the sum of this distance and the length of B is equal to the length of A. When the right end face of the cooling mechanism 29 is flush with the right end face of the moving die mounting plate 9, the distance between the left end face of the cooling mechanism 29 and the left end face of the moving die mounting plate 9 is greater than the length of the second channel 26, so as to ensure that the ejector pin 23 can eject the finished product in the mold cavity 8 on the premise that the cooling mechanism 29 does not slide out of the first cavity 27.

[0039] The cooling mechanism 29 includes a cooling block 33, on which a cooling circulation pipe 34 is provided. The cooling circulation pipe 34 includes a water inlet section 35, a bent and circuitous section 36, and a water outlet section 37. Both the water inlet section 35 and the water outlet section 37 are arranged at the left side near the middle position of the cooling block 33, and the bent and circuitous section 36 is arranged inside the cooling circulation pipe 34. The water inlet section 35 and the water outlet section 37 are connected to a cooling tank to achieve circulating cooling. The arrangement of the bent and circuitous section 36 can achieve full and comprehensive cooling, enhancing the cooling effect. The water inlet section 35 and the water outlet section 37 are arranged at the left side near the middle position of the cooling block 33, which does not affect the sliding of the cooling block 33 in the first cavity 27 and the second cavity 28, and a margin for the sliding of the cooling block 33 is left in the water inlet section 35 and the water outlet section 37.

[0040] Two sets of symmetrical T-shaped grooves 11 are provided on each side of the fixed mold mounting plate 5 or the movable mold mounting plate 9. The two sets of T-shaped grooves 11 are respectively an inner group 38 and an outer group 39, and the inner group 38 is arranged at the middle position near this side. When installing the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6, only one set of T-shaped grooves on one side is selected. Therefore, when producing the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6, only one set of T-shaped inserts is selectively produced. When the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 is larger, a set of T-shaped inserts matching one of the outer groups 39 is arranged on the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6. When the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 is smaller, a set of T-shaped inserts matching one of the inner groups 38 is arranged on the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6. After the T-shaped inserts on the movable mold 7 and the fixed mold 6 are inserted into the T-shaped grooves 11, the center of the movable mold 7 is aligned with the center of the movable mold mounting plate 9, and the center of the fixed mold 6 is aligned with the center of the fixed mold mounting plate 5. The arrangement of multiple sets of T-shaped grooves 11 on the fixed mold mounting plate 5 or the movable mold mounting plate 9 is not limited, providing more choices, greater flexibility, and wider adaptability.

[0041] The first threaded holes 12 are arranged at the middle position near the fixed mold mounting plate 5 or the movable mold mounting plate 9. The first threaded holes 12 on the movable mold mounting plate 9 are arranged around the first cavity 27, and the positions of the first threaded holes 12 on the fixed mold mounting plate 9 are the same as those of the first threaded holes 12 on the movable mold mounting plate 9. This setting can adapt to the fixation of movable molds 7 or fixed molds 6 of different sizes, and there will be no situation where the movable mold 7 or the fixed mold 6 with a smaller size cannot be fixed because the positions of the first threaded holes 12 are far from the center positions of the movable mold mounting plate 9 or the fixed mold mounting plate 5.

[0042] The injection mechanism 2 includes a motor 40 slidably connected to the support base 1. A screw rod 41 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 40. An extrusion head 42 is fixed to the left end of the screw rod 41. The screw rod 41 is arranged inside a barrel 43. A heating body 44 is fixed to the outer wall of the barrel 43. A feed hopper 45 is communicated with the right end of the barrel 43. The left end of the barrel 43 is fixed to the first support plate 4, and an injection hole 46 is formed at the left end of the barrel 43. An injection passage 47 communicated with the injection hole 46 is formed on the fixed mold mounting plate 5 and the fixed mold 6. The left end of the injection passage 47 is communicated with a mold cavity 8. The motor 40 is fixed to a housing 48. The housing 48 is slidably connected to the support base 1. A second oil cylinder 49 is fixed to the housing 48. The end of the piston rod of the second oil cylinder 49 is fixed to the first support plate 4. This is the specific structure of the injection mechanism 2. When it is necessary to heat the granular plastic raw material to a molten plastic raw material and inject it into the mold cavity 8, first add the granular plastic raw material into the feed hopper 45. Then the motor 40 is started to drive the screw rod 41 to rotate, thereby transporting and stirring the granular plastic raw material. At the same time, the granular plastic raw material in the barrel 43 is heated to a molten state by the heating body 44 outside the barrel 43. Then the second oil cylinder 49 is started, and its piston rod contracts, thereby driving the motor 40 to slide leftward, driving the screw rod 41 to move leftward, and driving the extrusion head 42 to quickly extrude and inject the molten plastic raw material in the space between the extrusion head 42 and the left end of the barrel 43 into the mold cavity 8. The molten plastic raw material enters the mold cavity 8 through the injection hole 46 and the injection passage 47 in sequence. Two sets of the second oil cylinders 49 are symmetrically arranged up and down on the housing 48.

[0043] Working principle: During operation, first install the required moving mold 7 onto the moving mold mounting plate 9. There is a T-shaped insert block on the moving mold 7 that matches the T-shaped groove 11, and there is also a second threaded hole on the moving mold 7 that matches the first threaded hole 12. During installation, just insert the T-shaped insert block into the T-shaped groove 11 until the inner end of the T-shaped insert block abuts against the inner end of the T-shaped groove 11 and cannot move inward any further. At this time, the second threaded hole on the moving mold 7 is exactly aligned with the first threaded hole 12, and then it can be fixed with screws. The stationary mold 6 is also installed onto the stationary mold mounting plate 5 in the same way. After that, the opening and closing drive mechanism 10 is activated to push the moving mold mounting plate 9 closer to the stationary mold mounting plate 5 until the moving mold 7 and the stationary mold 6 reach the mold closing position. Then, the injection mechanism 2 injects the molten plastic raw material into the mold cavity 8. After the plastic raw material in the mold cavity 8 is fully cooled and formed, the opening and closing drive mechanism 10 is activated to separate the moving mold 7 from the stationary mold 6. Then, take out the finished product in the mold cavity 8 for the next round of injection molding. This process repeats until the required quantity of finished products is completed. Through the setting of the T-shaped groove 11 in the present invention, during the installation process of the moving mold 7 or the stationary mold 6, the moving mold 7 or the stationary mold 6 is well-positioned, so that the second threaded hole on the moving mold 7 or the stationary mold 6 is aligned with the first threaded hole 12 on the moving mold mounting plate 9 or the stationary mold mounting plate 5. This greatly facilitates the alignment of the first threaded hole 12 and the second threaded hole, without the need for operators to align them additionally, and also ensures the accuracy of the alignment of the first threaded hole 12 and the second threaded hole. In addition, through the setting of the T-shaped groove 11, after the T-shaped insert block is inserted into the T-shaped groove 11, there is no need for operators to hold the moving mold 7 or the stationary mold 6 anymore. Operators only need to directly install the screws, which is very convenient. This can adapt to moving molds 7 and stationary molds 6 of different sizes and different masses, greatly improving the adaptability of the injection molding machine.
