[0002] The loading and unloading stations of the injection molding machine will be equipped with safety doors to ensure safe loading and unloading.

[0003] Safety doors usually require two hands to open and close, with one hand holding the handle on the door and the other hand unlocking or locking the door. Workers usually have tools on hand, which makes it very difficult to open and close safety doors.

[0004] Therefore, how to realize single-handed opening and closing of the safety door has become a problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, the utility model discloses a manual safety door for an injection molding machine which can be opened and closed by one hand.

[0006] The utility model provides a manual safety door for an injection molding machine which can be opened and closed with one hand, comprising a door frame and a door panel slidably connected to the door frame, a handle is arranged on the front side of the door panel, and a lock slot is arranged on the door frame;

[0007] A lock tongue engaging with a lock groove is arranged at the rear side of the door panel;

[0008] A driving rod is arranged on the inner side of the handle grip;

[0009] The driving rod is hinged to the door panel, and the locking tongue is driven to engage or disengage from the locking slot by the rotation of the driving rod;

[0010] When the driving rod rotates in the direction of the hand holding, the lock tongue is separated from the lock groove;

[0011] When the human hand is released from the driving rod, the driving rod is reset under the action of the spring.

[0012] With the above arrangement, one hand can hold the handle and the driving rod at the same time, and the palm of the hand is against the handle, and the driving rod is held with the handle as a fulcrum, so that the lock tongue can be disengaged from the lock slot. When the driving rod is released, the driving rod is reset under the action of the spring and automatically engages the lock slot. This operation is simple and convenient.

[0013] The specific structure of the driving rod hinge is: a vertically arranged hinge shaft is provided on the door panel; two ends of the driving rod are fixedly connected to two ends of the hinge shaft; and the lock tongue is fixedly installed on the hinge shaft.

[0014] The specific installation structure of the driving rod and the spring is: a vertically connected connecting shaft is arranged on the inner side of the door panel; the spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft; the lock tongue is sleeved on the connecting shaft so that the spring is located between the door panel and the lock tongue.

[0015] If the end of the driving rod passes through the door panel and is connected to the hinge shaft, the connection is difficult. Based on this, further improvements are: the two ends of the driving rod are vertically led out of the connecting rod; the two ends of the hinge shaft are provided with convex plates; the convex plate part protrudes from the front side of the door panel; the part of the convex plate protruding from the front side of the door panel is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0016] The connecting rod, the convex plate and the hinge shaft are generally connected by welding, which is cumbersome to operate and not conducive to disassembly. Based on this, a further design is: the convex plate is sleeved on the hinge shaft; the fastening bolt passes through the convex plate and the hinge shaft and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0017] The articulated shaft is generally connected in rotation by a bearing with a seat. The cost of the bearing with a seat is relatively high. Based on this, further improvements are made in that two fixed plates arranged up and down are provided on the inner side of the door panel; an oil-free bushing is installed on the fixed plate; and the articulated shaft is inserted into the oil-free bushing.

[0018] The oil-free bushing is directly installed on the fixed plate, the operating space is small, and the disassembly and assembly are difficult. Based on this, a further improvement is that the oil-free bushing is installed on the connecting plate; the connecting plate is connected to the fixed plate by bolts.

[0019] Since the oil-free bushing runs through both sides of the connecting plate, an avoidance hole needs to be opened on the fixed plate to provide installation space for the oil-free bushing, and the articulated shaft needs to move axially for installation; since there are two oil-free bushings on the articulated shaft, installation is difficult. Based on this, further improvements are made in that a U-shaped groove is opened on the fixed plate; the oil-free bushing is inserted into the U-shaped groove. With this arrangement, the articulated shaft can be installed and fixed on the fixed plate by radial movement, which is convenient to operate.

[0020] In order to achieve the oil-free bushing limit, a further design is: an elastic cylindrical pin is inserted radially into the articulated shaft; the outer wall of the elastic cylindrical pin abuts against the limit plate protruding from one end of the oil-free bushing. The elastic cylindrical pin is elastic, which not only facilitates the elastic cylindrical pin to pass through the articulated shaft, but also improves the position stability of the elastic cylindrical pin.
