[0022] The first locking assembly 13 and the second locking assembly 14 are designed to guide the horizontal movement of the first rack 1, the second rack 7, the third rack 8, and the fourth rack 9, ensuring their correct position and mutual engagement during the mold opening and closing operation. The four gears are fixedly mounted on the front mold 3 and the rear mold 4 in a diagonally complementary manner, so that the racks can effectively support the middle mold 2. In order to effectively prevent the middle mold 2 from falling when the mold is opened, the first rack 1 and the fourth rack 9 of the rear mold 4 are designed to be locked by setting a stopper 101. The stopper 101 is locked with the gear cover slide of the first locking assembly 13 and the second locking assembly 14 to prevent the middle mold 2 from separating excessively from the rear mold 4 and falling. The design of the rear mold 4 is not only to support the structure and function of the mold, but also to lock the middle mold 2 through its first rack 1 and the fourth rack 9 to prevent the racks from falling off or moving, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the mold.

[0023] The first locking assembly 13 includes a gear cover 1301, a first boss 130102 is provided on the upper inner portion of the gear cover 1301, and a second boss 130103 is provided on the lower inner portion. A recess is formed between the first boss 130102 and the second boss 130103, and a slide groove 130101 is provided below the recess near the second boss 130103.

[0024] A first side wheel 16 and a second side wheel 17 are provided in the first locking assembly 13, and a middle gear 15 is provided between the first side wheel 16 and the second side wheel 17. The first rack 1 and the middle gear 15 are meshed with each other and are located between the first side wheel 16 and the middle gear 15. The second rack 7 and the middle gear 15 are meshed with each other and are located between the second side wheel 17 and the middle gear 15. The third rack 8 is located at the upper part of the second locking assembly 14, and the fourth rack 9 is located at the lower part of the second locking assembly 14.

[0025] The first and second racks 1 and 7 are fixedly connected to the rear mold 4 via hexagonal screws 10 and inlays 18. The third and fourth racks 8 and 9 are fixedly connected to the front mold 3 via hexagonal screws 10 and inlays 18. The racks are connected to the mold blocks via inlays and then tightened with hexagonal screws to ensure a tight connection between the racks and the mold blocks, preventing them from falling off during frequent opening and closing of the mold and preventing the middle mold 2 from falling.

[0026] The first side wheel 16 and the second side wheel 17 are located on the first boss 130102 and the second boss 130103 respectively, and the middle gear 15 is located on the concave platform between the first boss 130102 and the second boss 130103.

[0027] The middle gear 15 is located in the concave area between the first boss 130102 and the second boss 130103 , and its position ensures that the middle gear 15 can simultaneously engage with two racks moving in opposite directions.

[0028] The second side wheel 17 is symmetrical with the first side wheel 16, and ensures the balance and stability of the rack movement in a rolling manner, reduces the friction loss of the rack during movement, improves the working efficiency and service life of the mold, and ensures that the rack can move smoothly along the track. The rolling method also reduces energy loss and heat generated by friction.

[0029] The rear mold 4 is provided with a first rear mold guide post 6 and a second rear mold guide post 12, and the front mold 3 is provided with a first front mold guide post 5 and a second front mold guide post 11. The first rear mold guide post 6 and the second rear mold guide post 12 are respectively located at diagonal positions perpendicular to the rear mold 4, and the first front mold guide post 5 and the second front mold guide post 11 are respectively located at diagonal positions perpendicular to the front mold 3. The first rear mold guide post 6, the second rear mold guide post 12, the first front mold guide post 5, and the second front mold guide post 11 all pass through the middle mold 2 and are slidably connected to the middle mold 2. Side openings 401 are provided on both sides of the rear mold 4, and the width of the side openings 401 matches the width of the second rack 7 and the third rack 8.

[0030] The first rear mold guide pin 6 and the second rear mold guide pin 12 are located on the diagonal line of the rear mold 4 and are perpendicular to the plane of the rear mold 4. Their function is to ensure the stability and verticality of the rear mold during the opening and closing movement of the mold, so as to achieve coordinated movement between the various parts of the mold.

[0031] The side openings 401 are located on both sides of the rear mold, and their width matches the size of the second rack 7 and the third rack 8, aiming to provide appropriate space for the movement of the racks and ensure that they are not obstructed or interfered when moving sideways.

[0032] The specific working method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] When the mold opening position is normal (such as Figure 2 ), the rear mold 4, middle mold 2, and front mold 3 will not completely separate. The rear mold 4 is supported and connected to the middle mold 2 by the first rear mold guide pillars 6 and the second rear mold guide pillars 12. The front mold 3 is supported and connected to the middle mold 2 by the first front mold guide pillars 5 and the second front mold guide pillars 11. In this case, the middle mold 2 relies on the guide pillars for support, ensuring that it remains firmly in the correct position during the mold opening process and will not fall or move. At the same time, the guide pillars move with the opening and closing of the mold, keeping the modules on the same horizontal line and the overall connection tightly.

[0034] When abnormal conditions occur during the mold opening process (such as Figure 3), overshoot occurs, the first front mold guide post 5 and the second front mold guide post 11 of the front mold 3 will be separated from the middle mold 2, resulting in no longer supporting the middle mold 2. In order to prevent the middle mold 2 from falling off due to the overshoot of the front mold 3, the first rack 1 and the fourth rack 9 of the rear mold 4 are provided with a stopper. Since the first rack 1 and the fourth rack 9 are tightly connected to the rear mold 4, even if overfilling occurs and the middle mold 2 moves excessively toward the side of the front mold 3, the sliding groove of the first locking component 13 and the second locking component 14 shell cooperates with the stopper to lock the middle mold 2. The middle mold 2 is supported by the first rear mold guide post 6 and the second rear mold guide post 12 of the rear mold 4 and the first rack 1 and the fourth rack 9. This special structural design ensures that the middle mold 2 remains in a safe position under abnormal circumstances, avoiding the situation where the middle mold 2 falls or is damaged due to overshoot of the mold opening position. The characteristics of this structure are simple and practical, which can effectively improve the safety and reliability of the mold and reduce the possibility of damage or accidents caused by operational errors.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
