Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gate truncation mechanism, in particular to a gate truncation mechanism of an injection molding machine, and belongs to the technical field of injection molding processing. Background Art
[0002] Injection molding, also known as injection molding, is a molding method that combines injection and molding. Injection molding is a processing method used when mass-producing some parts with complex shapes. Specifically, it means injecting the heat-melted material into the mold cavity under high pressure, and after cooling and solidifying, the molded product is obtained. The advantages of the injection molding method are fast production speed and high efficiency, and it is suitable for mass production and molding processing fields of products with complex shapes. After injection molding, it is necessary to truncate the injection gate to facilitate the aesthetics of the product during subsequent demolding.
[0003] An injection mold with a gate truncation mechanism disclosed in the Chinese Patent Application Publication Specification CN216400415U truncates the injection port by driving a truncation knife through the movement of the upper mold on the upper surface of the lower mold. It has a good truncation effect. However, in order to make the molten plastic injected into the lower mold fit the bottom of the upper mold, enough molten plastic needs to be injected into the lower mold. At this time, when the upper mold seals the lower mold and drives the truncation knife to truncate the injection port, the front surface of the upper mold will push the molten plastic in the lower mold, causing some molten plastic to overflow and resulting in waste of the molten plastic.
[0004] When the above patent is in use, during the movement of the upper mold on the upper surface of the lower mold, the truncation knife is driven to truncate the injection port, which has a good truncation effect. However, in order to make the molten plastic injected into the lower mold fit the bottom of the upper mold, enough molten plastic needs to be injected into the lower mold. At this time, when the upper mold seals the lower mold and drives the truncation knife to truncate the injection port, the front surface of the upper mold will push the molten plastic in the lower mold, causing some molten plastic to overflow and resulting in waste of the molten plastic.

[0010] An auxiliary spring is installed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate. The bottom end of the auxiliary spring is fixed to the platform plate. The elastic force of the auxiliary spring can push the lifting plate to move and make the cutting knife closely contact the groove, preventing the cut surface from being uneven when the cutting knife performs the truncating operation.
[0011] A chamber is formed on the upper surface of the platform plate. A gear is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the chamber. Two toothed plates are slidably connected to the side wall of the chamber. The toothed plates are meshed with the gear. A second electric push rod is installed on the inner wall of the chamber. The output end of the second electric push rod is fixed to the toothed plate through a connecting block. A clamping plate is fixed to the upper surface of the toothed plate. The movement of the toothed plate drives the clamping plate to move, and the lower template is clamped and fixed by the clamping plate.
[0012] A connecting plate is fixed to the side surface of the upper template. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the platform plate. The sliding plate is fixed to the connecting plate. The movement of the sliding plate drives the connecting plate to move, and then drives the upper template to move.
[0013] A fixing plate is fixed to the bottom surface of the platform plate. The connecting plate penetrates through the fixing plate. A motor is installed on the bottom surface of the platform plate. The output end of the motor is installed with a threaded rod. The other end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixing plate. The threaded rod penetrates through the sliding plate and is threadedly connected to the sliding plate.
[0014] The present utility model provides a gate truncating mechanism for an injection molding machine, and the beneficial effects thereof are as follows:
[0015] 1. The gate cutting mechanism of this injection molding machine sets an upper template and a lower template. During the cutting operation, the upper template and the lower template remain stationary to maintain the stability of the finished product. At the same time, a cutter is set to cut the injection gate, and the cutter is tightly in contact with the groove by relying on the elastic force of the auxiliary spring, achieving the injection gate cutting without affecting the stability of the injection melt.
[0016] 2. The gate cutting mechanism of this injection molding machine drives a toothed plate to move by setting a gear, so that the toothed plate can drive a clamping plate to move, and the clamping plate can clamp the mold. The position of the clamping plate can be adjusted by the rotation of the gear, maintaining the stability of molds of different sizes during the injection process. Description of the Drawings

Then start the first electric push rod 303. Due to the diversion of the insertion plate 308 by the track plate 307, when the electric push rod drives the baffle 304 to move, the cutting knife 306 always aligns with the groove. Driven by the first electric push rod 303, the cutting knife 306 enters the groove and reaches the position of the injection port 305, completing the cutting operation.
