[0017] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 : is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model, a sliding self-locking device for an injection molding machine, comprising a connecting member 1, a locking rod 2 and a lock body 3 with a lock path 31, the lock body 3 is fixedly connected to the housing of the injection molding machine, the connecting member 1 is rotatably connected to the safety movable door of the injection molding machine, and the tail end of the locking rod 2 is located in the lock path 31, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the head end of the lock rod 2 is elastically connected to the connecting member 1 so that the tail end of the lock rod 2 abuts against the lock path 31. The connecting member 1 has a cavity for the lock rod 2 to move. The cavity of the connecting member 1 has an elastic element 4. One end of the elastic element 4 abuts against the connecting member 1 and the other end abuts against the lock rod 2. The elastic element 4 is sleeved on the lock rod 2.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the lock channel 31 includes a first channel 311, a lock groove 312 and a second channel 313. The tail end of the first channel 311 is connected to the lock groove 312. A first step surface 314 of a drop type is formed between the tail end of the first channel 311 and the lock groove 312. The height of the bottom surface of the first channel 311 increases first and then decreases from its head end to the tail end, and then tends to be gentle, and has an arc-shaped structure. The slope of the first channel 311 is 1°-10°, so that it can drive the lock rod 2 to move into the lock groove 312 during the closing stroke of the safety movable door of the injection molding machine. The first channel 311 has an ascending section (with a slope of 1°-10°), a descending section and a gentle section from its head end to the tail end. The coordinated use of the descending section and the gentle section of the first channel 311 can prevent the lock rod 2 from retreating and move the lock rod 2 into the lock groove 312. The first step surface 314 can prevent the safety movable door from being disengaged during the production vibration of the injection molding machine and complete self-locking.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the head end of the second channel 313 is connected to the lock groove 312, and a gradual first transition surface 315 is formed between the lock groove 312 and the head end of the second channel 313. The height of the head end of the second channel 313 is higher than the height of the bottom of the lock groove 312. The slope of the first transition surface 315 is first increased and then decreased, and the whole structure is conical. The slope of the rising section of the first transition surface 315 is 20°-60°, which is to prevent it from slipping out of the lock groove on the one hand, and to facilitate unlocking after force is applied on the other hand.

[0021] The height of the bottom surface of the second channel 313 increases first and then decreases from its head end to the tail end, and then tends to be flat, forming an arc-shaped structure. The second channel 313 has a corner 3131 to increase safety. The safety movable door can only be unlocked and opened after a second release. The vibration of the injection molding machine is not enough to make the locking rod 2 move through the corner 3131. The first transition surface 315 is part of the second channel 313.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the tail end of the second channel 313 is connected to the head end of the first channel 311, and a second step surface 316 with a drop is formed between the tail end of the second channel 313 and the head end of the first channel 311 to prevent the locking rod 2 from retreating, and the turning points of the lock channel 31 in the present application all adopt arc angle transition to facilitate the movement of the locking rod 2.

[0023] When in use, if the safety movable door is not closed, it is driven by the closing stroke of the safety movable door of the injection molding machine, so that the locking rod 2 moves along the lock path 31, and falls into the locking groove 312 after passing through the first channel 311. Due to the large slope of the first transition surface 315 and the influence of the elastic force of the elastic element 4 on the locking rod, the locking rod 2 cannot fall off the locking groove 312 to complete self-locking. When unlocking is required, the safety movable door needs to be pushed forward a distance again, so that the locking rod 2 disengages from the locking groove 312 and passes through the corner 3131 to be unlocked, and then moves along the second channel 313 to between the second channel 313 and the first channel 311, so that the safety movable door is opened.

[0024] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the utility model, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the utility model through the above description. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the content of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
