The rotation plane of the second movable block 212 and the rotation plane of the third movable block 213 are perpendicular to each other, so that the second movable block 212 and the third movable block 213 can drive the air blowing pipe 220 to bend in different directions. Through the cooperation of the first movable block 211, the second movable block 212 and the third movable block 213, the position flexibility of the air blowing pipe 220 can be improved, and the blowing direction of the air blowing pipe 220 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the cooling of the workpiece can be facilitated, the workpiece can be cooled evenly, and the deformation can be reduced.

[0032] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting plate 111 is provided with a guide groove 113, and the first movable block 211 is provided with a guide portion 214, and the guide portion 214 is slidably connected to the guide groove 113. By arranging the guide portion 214 to be slidably connected to the guide groove 113, the first movable block 211 can move smoothly along the length direction of the guide groove 113, so that the first movable block 211 can move accurately, reduce the position shaking of the first movable block 211, facilitate the blowing pipe 220 to blow air to the workpiece, and improve the cooling effect of the workpiece.

[0033] It should be noted that the guide groove 113 can be a dovetail groove, a U-shaped groove, etc., and the guide portion 214 matches the shape of the guide groove 113 so that the guide portion 214 can be stably in the guide groove 113, allowing the first movable block 211 to slide stably on the connecting plate 111.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first movable block 211 is threadedly connected with a first bolt 215, and the first bolt 215 can abut against the bottom wall of the guide groove 113. The first bolt 215 is threadedly connected to the first movable block 211, and the first bolt 215 is driven to rotate so that the first bolt 215 can be screwed into the first movable block 211, so that the first bolt 215 can abut against the bottom wall of the guide groove 113, so that the first movable block 211 can be positioned in the guide groove 113, so as to lock the position of the first movable block 211, prevent the position of the first movable block 211 from shaking, improve the position stability of the blowing pipe 220, and enhance the cooling effect of the workpiece.

[0035] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first movable block 211 is penetrated by a second bolt 216, the second movable block 212 is rotatably connected to the second bolt 216, and the second bolt 216 is threadedly connected to a first nut 217.

[0037] It should be noted that the moving assembly 120 drives the connecting plate 111 to move between the injection molding machine and the unloading area, causing the first movable block 211, the second movable block 212 and the third movable block 213 to shake easily. The first movable block 211 can be fixed to the connecting plate 111 by the first bolt 215, the second bolt 216 and the first nut 217 can fix the second movable block 212 to the first movable block 211, and the third bolt 218 and the second nut 219 can fix the third movable block 213 to the second movable block 212, thereby positioning the positions of multiple connecting rings 230 so that the position of the blowing pipe 220 can remain stable.
