Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine manufacturing, in particular to an injection molding machine material changing mechanism and an injection component which are convenient for replacing a machine barrel. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate material replacement, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN215661470U discloses a material replacement device for an injection molding machine, including a barrel for loading materials, a base fixed at the bottom of the barrel, a discharge port and a material replacement port provided on the base, two slide rails provided in parallel on the upper end surface of the base, the bottom of the barrel is slidably arranged on the slide rails through a slider and can slide back and forth between the discharge port and the material replacement port.

[0003] The existing base is detachably fixedly connected to the injection seat of the injection molding machine, and the discharge port and the barrel are connected by a pipe. Since different barrels need to be replaced for injection of different products, each time the barrel is replaced, the material inside the barrel needs to be discharged through the material changing port first, and then the entire base is removed. Since the material changing mechanism has a certain weight, a lifting tool is required to move the entire material changing mechanism open to expose the barrel on the injection seat. After the barrel is replaced, the lifting tool needs to be used again to move the material changing mechanism to the top of the barrel, and the base plate needs to be installed together with the injection seat again. Since the frequency of barrel replacement is high, the existing material changing device will make barrel replacement time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] Aiming at the disadvantage that the existing material changing device of the injection molding machine which is convenient for material changing and the installation method of the injection seat will make the barrel replacement time-consuming and laborious, the first purpose of the utility model is to provide a material changing mechanism for the injection molding machine which is convenient for replacing the mechanism.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A material changing mechanism for an injection molding machine which is convenient for replacing a barrel, comprises a bracket fixed to the upper end surface of an injection seat, a base located at the upper end of the bracket and a barrel, wherein an injection port and a discharge port are respectively arranged at both ends of the base, the barrel slides on the upper end surface of the base through a first guide mechanism and can be moved to align with the injection port or the discharge port, the lower end of the base slides on the bracket through a second guide mechanism, and the base can slide to one side of a cooling water jacket or slide to a pipe above the cooling water jacket where the injection port is directly opposite.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, a second guide mechanism is added between the bracket and the base. When the barrel needs to be replaced, the base only needs to be slid relative to the bracket to one side of the cooling water pipe through the second guide mechanism. The pipe is fixed on the cooling water jacket, and the cooling water jacket is fixed on the barrel. The fixed position of the barrel is close to the cooling water jacket. Therefore, after the base is moved to one side of the cooling water jacket, the pipe, the cooling water jacket and the barrel fixed position can be exposed, and the barrel can be directly replaced. After the barrel is replaced, it is only necessary to slide the base again to the pipe above the cooling water jacket where the injection port is directly opposite. The above structure significantly improves the convenience of barrel replacement, and barrel replacement saves time and effort.

[0008] Preferably, the second guiding mechanism includes a slide rail fixed parallel to the lower end of the base and a slide seat fixed to the upper end of the bracket for allowing the slide rail to slide horizontally and linearly.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting mechanism is provided between the bracket and the base to limit the sliding movement of the slide rail relative to the slide seat, and the limiting mechanism includes a first through hole provided on the base, a first threaded groove provided on the bracket and opposite to the first through hole when the injection port is facing the pipe, and a locking screw passing through the first through hole and cooperating with the first threaded groove.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the base and the bracket can be driven to switch between limiting and releasing the limiting position by installing or removing the locking screw. When the base and the bracket are in the limiting position, the horizontal slip of the base can be avoided, ensuring the stability of the barrel injection.

[0011] Preferably, the first guide mechanism includes a guide rail and a slide plate fixed parallel to the upper end of the base, a slider guided and slidable on the guide rail is fixed at the lower end of the slide plate, the barrel is fixed on the slide plate, and the slide plate has a discharge hole for releasing the material in the barrel.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of second thread grooves are arranged on the slide plate at intervals along the radial direction of the discharge hole with the discharge hole as the center.

[0013] The above solution can be used to adapt to the installation of barrels of different sizes, thereby increasing adaptability.

[0014] Preferably, both ends of the base are provided with positioning and anti-slipping mechanisms for quickly positioning the barrel for unloading or injection when the limiting slide is separated from the base.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning and anti-slip mechanism includes limit screws threadedly connected to both ends of the base, and when the slide plate slides to touch the limit screws at both ends respectively, the discharge hole is opposite to the injection port and the discharge port respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the limit screw not only plays a limiting role, but also can quickly realize the alignment of the discharge hole and the injection port or the discharge port, thereby improving the operating efficiency.

[0017] Preferably, a limiting portion is provided between the slide plate and the base, which allows the limiting slide plate to slide relative to the base when the discharge hole faces the injection port or the discharge port.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting portion includes limiting plates vertically fixed on both sides of the slide plate, a second through hole arranged on the limiting plate and a locking screw, and a third thread groove is arranged at both ends on both sides of the base, which is opposite to the second through hole when the discharge hole is opposite to the injection port or the discharge port, and the locking screw is tightly fitted with the third thread groove after passing through the second through hole.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, the limiting part can ensure that when the discharge hole is facing the injection port or the discharge port, the limiting slide plate is always in a stationary state relative to the base, thereby ensuring the stability of injection or discharge.

[0020] The second purpose of the utility model is to provide an injection component, including an injection seat, a barrel installed on the injection seat, a cooling water jacket fixed on the barrel, and an injection molding machine material changing mechanism for facilitating the replacement of the barrel provided at the upper end of the injection seat, the lower end of the pipe being threadedly connected to the upper end of the cooling water jacket and as the pipe rotates, the upper end of the pipe can rise to be plugged into and fit with the injection port or fall to be completely separated from the injection port.

[0021] With the above scheme, the pipe is threadedly connected to the cooling water jacket. As the pipe rotates on the cooling water jacket, the pipe can be driven to rise and fall. When the barrel needs to be disassembled, the pipe is first rotated and driven to descend to detach from the base, and the base is moved to expose the barrel, the cooling water jacket and the pipe. At this time, the barrel can be disassembled; after the subsequent barrel is installed, the base is first moved to the injection port facing the pipe above the cooling water jacket, and then the pipe is rotated and driven to rise to the upper end and inserted into the injection port.

[0022] The utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical scheme: a second guide mechanism is added between the bracket and the base, and when the barrel needs to be replaced, the base only needs to be slid relative to the bracket to one side of the cooling water pipe through the second guide mechanism, the pipe is fixed on the cooling water jacket, the cooling water jacket is fixed on the barrel, and the fixed position of the barrel is close to the cooling water jacket. Therefore, after the base is moved to one side of the cooling water jacket, the pipe, the cooling water jacket and the barrel fixed position can be exposed, and the barrel can be directly replaced. After the barrel is replaced, the base only needs to be slid again to the pipe above the cooling water jacket where the injection port is directly opposite to the injection port. The above structure significantly improves the convenience of barrel replacement, and barrel replacement saves time and effort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
