Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of injection molding machines, and in particular relates to a mold locking component of an injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] The injection molding machine uses the thrust of the screw (or plunger) to inject the plasticized molten state (i.e. viscous flow state) plastic into the closed mold cavity, and obtains the product after solidification. Injection molding is a cyclic process, and each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding--melting plasticization--pressure injection--mold filling cooling--mold opening and taking out the parts. After taking out the plastic parts, the mold is closed again for the next cycle.

[0003] The clamping mechanism is one of the main components of the injection molding machine. The existing clamping mechanism is mainly a hydraulic cylinder pressurized clamping mechanism with many parts and difficult processing. During use, the upper and lower connecting rods often wear inconsistently, which makes the clamping unbalanced and may cause mold expansion during mold closing and injection molding. In addition, there is no buffer component between the existing molds, which may cause rigid extrusion between the molds or between the mold and the push rod when closing the mold, which may cause damage to the mold and affect the service life of the mold.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A clamping assembly of an injection molding machine comprises a hydraulic cylinder, a push rod is slidably arranged at one end of the hydraulic cylinder, guide rods are fixedly connected at four corner positions of the hydraulic cylinder near one end of the push rod, and a mold mechanism for injection molding is arranged on the guide rod;

[0007] The mold mechanism includes a fixed mold and a movable mold. Four guide rods are fixedly connected to the four corner positions of the fixed mold near the hydraulic cylinder at one end away from the hydraulic cylinder, and the movable mold is arranged between the fixed mold and the hydraulic cylinder. The guide rods penetrate the four corner positions between the two ends of the movable mold and are connected in a sliding fit. The fixed mold and the movable mold are snap-fitted together, and a buckle assembly for locking is also arranged between the fixed mold and the movable mold.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, mounting seats are provided at the middle positions around the movable mold, and the buckle assembly includes lock buckles, which are rotatably installed on the mounting seats one by one, and torsion springs are installed between the lock buckles and the mounting seats. The cross-section of the lock buckles is bent with both ends raised outward.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the buckle assembly also includes a buckle slot, which is correspondingly arranged at the outer position around the fixed mold away from the end of the movable mold, and the buckle slot is buckled with the end of the lock close to the fixed mold.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the push rod near the movable mold, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the side walls of the fixed plate in a one-to-one correspondence with the lock buckle, and the end of the pressing plate away from the fixed plate is in contact with the inner side of the end of the lock buckle close to the pressing plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a sliding groove is provided at one end of the push rod close to the movable mold, a sliding rod is slidably installed between the inner walls of the sliding groove, and one end of the sliding rod close to the movable mold is fixedly connected to the center position of one end of the movable mold close to the push rod, and a spring is provided on the outer side of the circumference of the sliding rod between the movable mold and the push rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the fixed mold is provided with installation grooves around one end close to the movable mold, and a buffer strip is slidably installed between the inner walls of the circumference of each installation groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the inner wall of the mounting groove away from the buffer bar, mounting rods are fixedly connected at the end of the buffer bar close to the mounting hole and at the corresponding positions of the mounting holes, the end of the mounting rod away from the buffer bar is slidably connected between the inner walls of the mounting hole in a one-to-one manner, and a spring 2 is provided between the inner wall of the end of the mounting hole away from the buffer bar and the end of the mounting rod away from the buffer bar.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Through the structures such as the slide bar and the buffer strip, when the hydraulic cylinder pushes the movable mold toward the fixed mold through the push rod, the elastic expansion and contraction performance of the spring 1 and the spring 2 enables the fixed mold to play a certain buffering and protective role after contacting the movable mold, thereby avoiding the rigid extrusion collision between the movable mold and the fixed mold or the push rod, which may cause damage to the mold, thereby improving the service life of the mold.

[0016] 2. After the movable mold is pushed toward the fixed mold, the push rod continues to push, and the extrusion spring is compressed, so that the pressure sheet approaches the lock buckle, and the bent lock buckle is pushed by the pressure sheet to clamp the fixed mold close to one end, until the lock buckle close to the fixed mold is buckled into the card slot to form a limit locking effect on the fixed mold and the movable mold, thereby ensuring the stability of the device. When unlocking, the push rod is retracted until the pressure sheet is disengaged from the lock buckle, so that the lock buckle is reset under the action of the torsion spring, so that the lock buckle exits the card slot to release the locking effect. The setting of the buckle mechanism is not only simple in structure, but also convenient in loosening and locking, which is conducive to improving the overall efficiency of the device.
