[0026] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a precise alignment mechanism for opening and closing a mold, comprising a top plate 1, an upper mold plate 2, a lower mold plate 3, a bottom plate 4, a first locking assembly 5 and a second locking assembly 6;

[0028] The top plate 1 is arranged on the top of the upper template 2, the upper template 2 is located above the lower template 3, and the bottom of the lower template 3 is connected to the bottom plate 4 through a connecting plate 31. The first latch assembly 5 is arranged between the top plate 1 and the upper template 2, and the second latch assembly 6 is arranged between the upper template 2 and the lower template 3; the lower template 3 cooperates with the upper template 2 to form a complete product injection cavity; the first latch assembly 5 can prevent the top plate 1 and the upper template 2 from relative displacement during the opening and closing process of the mold, thereby maintaining the stability of the structure; the second latch assembly 6 can improve the alignment accuracy of the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 during the opening and closing process of the mold.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first latch assembly 5 includes a first locking block 51 and a slide 52, the slide 52 is arranged on the side wall of the upper template 2, the top of the first locking block 51 is arranged on the top plate 1, the bottom of the first locking block 51 has a slider portion 511, and the surface of the slide 52 is provided with an inclined groove 520 for the slider portion 511 to adapt and engage; before the mold starts to close, the slider portion 511 of the first locking block 51 and the inclined groove 520 of the slide 52 are in a non-contact or partial contact state, when the mold starts to close, the top plate 1 moves downward close to the upper template 2, and the slider portion 511 of the first locking block 51 slides into the inclined groove 520 of the slide 52 to achieve locking and engaging, thereby preventing the top plate 1 and the upper mold base from relative displacement during the opening and closing process.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second locking assembly 6 includes a second locking block 61, a positioning seat 62, a spring 63, a clamping column 64 and a limiting rod 65.
