Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine pistons, in particular to a steel ring sealing structure for an injection molding machine oil cylinder piston. Background Art
[0002] An injection molding machine is a piece of machinery used for plastic molding. It heats the plastic material, melts it, and injects it into a mold cavity. After cooling and solidifying, the resulting plastic product is shaped into the desired shape. Widely used in industries such as automotive, home appliances, electronics, and medical, injection molding machines are an essential piece of equipment in the production of plastic products.
[0003] In the injection molding industry, the sealing performance of the cylinder piston is directly related to the operating efficiency and stability of the injection molding machine. With the continuous development of injection molding technology, the requirements for the cylinder piston sealing structure are also increasing. After extensive research, it was found that in the existing technology, the cross-section of the general injection molding machine piston steel ring is circular, rectangular or single-sided trapezoidal. However, such a cross-section results in a large contact surface between the piston ring and the cylinder wall. Under long-term and high-intensity operation, the friction is large, the resistance increases, and the wear resistance deteriorates. In addition, it does not have the self-lubricating function, resulting in a shortened service life, which makes it difficult to meet the high efficiency, high precision and long life requirements of modern injection molding machines.

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 12 The utility model provides a steel ring sealing structure for an injection molding machine oil cylinder piston, including an injection molding machine body 1, which is the existing technology and constitutes the main structure of the injection molding machine. A cylinder cover is arranged near the left side of the middle of the injection molding machine body 1. The design of the cylinder cover enables the internal space to accommodate multiple functional components to ensure the normal operation of the injection molding machine body 1. A mold opening mechanism, a piston mechanism, a lubrication assembly and an oil pushing assembly are arranged inside the cylinder cover. The mold opening mechanism includes a cylinder tube 25, which is arranged inside the cylinder cover. The left side of the cylinder tube 25 is fixedly connected to the left cover 21, and the right side of the cylinder tube 25 is fixedly connected to the right cover 23; there are multiple oil ports 24, and the oil ports 24 are respectively opened on the top of the left cover 21 and the right cover 23; the piston rod 22 is arranged inside the left cover 21, the right cover 23 and the cylinder tube 25, providing a motion stroke trajectory for the piston mechanism.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 12 The piston mechanism includes a piston block 31, which is arranged on the outer wall of the piston rod 22. A piston ring 36 is arranged on the outer wall of the piston block 31. The piston ring 36 itself has the characteristic of micro-deformation. Most of its materials are high-carbon steel or alloy steel. After precision processing, the surface is specially treated to improve wear resistance and lubricity. In this case, the outer wall of the piston ring 36 is set in a concave shape to reduce the direct contact area with the inner wall of the cylinder tube 25, thereby increasing the durability of the piston block 31. The outer side of the piston ring 36 is set in a concave shape, and the outermost end of the concave shape is provided with an inclined Angle surface 33, and the two inclined surfaces are opposite to each other, thereby reducing the direct contact area between the piston ring 36 and the inner wall of the cylinder tube 25. The left side of the piston block 31 is fixedly connected to the cone block 32, and the end of the cone block 32 with a smaller contact surface is away from the outside of the piston block 31, so that the piston block 31 reduces the contact area with the air during movement, thereby reducing resistance. The outer wall of the piston block 31 is also provided with a spring sheet 6. The spring sheet 6 is a basic accessory of the piston block 31 and is a prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this case. There are two groups of piston rings 36, and their notches are not in the same plane.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 12A cavity 35 is provided on the left side of the piston block 31. The cavity 35 can not only be used to place lubricating oil, but also can reduce the overall weight of the piston block 31, thereby reducing friction and further increasing durability. A cover plate 34 is removably installed on the inner wall of the cavity 35 near the outer end.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 12 The lubrication assembly includes a sponge ring 46. The sponge ring 46 is made of sponge material and has the functions of adsorption and release, slowly releasing the lubricating oil between the piston rings 36. The sponge ring 46 is installed inside the concave shape of the outer side of the piston ring 36 through the fixing block 41, and the fixing block 41 is detachable, which makes it convenient to remove the fixing block 41 for cleaning and replacement. The inner wall of the piston ring 36 passes through and is fixedly connected to a ring tube 1 42, and the outer wall of the piston block 31 passes through and is fixedly connected to a ring tube 2 45. The inner wall of the top of the ring tube 2 45 is fixedly connected to a rubber ring 43. The rubber ring 43 has the characteristics of deformation, thereby increasing the sealing between the ring tube 1 42 and the ring tube 2 45. The ring tube 1 42 is set as a flat-top cone. shaped, with the upper opening diameter being smaller than the lower opening, while the ring tube 2 45 is set to an inverted flat-top cone, with the upper opening diameter being larger than the lower opening. The design of the ring tubes 1 42 and 45 makes them complementary in structure. The flat-top cone design of the ring tube 1 42 makes it have higher stability when subjected to pressure, while the inverted flat-top cone design of the ring tube 2 45 makes it exhibit excellent performance when subjected to tension. This structural difference enables the two to play their respective advantages in practical applications and improve the performance of the overall equipment. The lubrication assembly also includes an oil outlet pipe 44, which is in contact with the sponge ring 46. The oil outlet pipe 44 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the piston ring 36 and is communicated with the ring tube 1 42.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 12 The oil pushing assembly includes a push rod 51, which passes through and is slidably connected to the middle part of the cover plate 34 and the middle and upper part of the cone block 32. The inner wall of the cone block 32 is fixedly connected to a circular ring block 52. The push rod 51 passes through and is slidably connected to the middle part of the circular ring block 52. The push rod 51 and the cover plate 34 are elastically connected by a spring 53, and the push rod 51 and the cover plate 34 are elastically connected by the spring 53. The spring 53 plays a connecting and supporting role for the push rod 51. One end of the spring 53 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cover plate 34, and the other end of the spring 53 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push rod 51. A stopper 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall near the left part of the cylinder tube 25. When the push rod 51 contacts and squeezes the stopper 55, it will move and squeeze the push block 54, thereby squeezing the lubricating oil in the cavity 35 of the piston block 31. The right side of the push rod 51 is fixedly connected to the push block 54, and the left side of the cover plate 34 is provided with an oil inlet pipe, which is convenient for adding lubricating oil to the cavity 35.
[0049] Working principle: When in use, first connect the oil port 24 to other accessories of the injection molding machine body 1, then start the injection molding machine body 1, so that the hydraulic oil enters the cylinder tube 25 through the oil port 24. When the hydraulic oil enters the cylinder tube 25 through the oil port 24, it drives the piston block 31 to move linearly in the cylinder tube 25, realizing the mold closing or mold opening operation;
[0050] When the piston block 31 moves to the left, the push rod 51 contacts the stopper 55 and moves to the right under pressure. When moving, the push rod 51 slides horizontally between the middle part of the circular ring block 52 and the upper middle part of the cover plate 34, and compresses the spring 53. In addition, when the push rod 51 moves, it drives the push block 54 to move together to squeeze the lubricating oil inside the cavity 35, so that the lubricating oil enters the ring pipe 1 42 through the ring pipe 2 45, and then enters the oil outlet pipe 44 from the ring pipe 1 42, and finally enters the sponge ring 46 through the outlet of the oil outlet pipe 44 and is absorbed by the sponge ring 46. The lubricating oil enters between the two beveled surfaces 33 on the outside of the piston ring 36 to increase lubrication, thereby reducing resistance and increasing durability. When the piston block 31 moves in the opposite direction, the reverse force of the spring 53 causes the push rod 51 and the push block 54 to reset.
[0051] During the installation stage, when installing the piston ring 36, first put one end of the notch of the piston ring 36 on the piston block 31, and slightly deform the piston ring 36 through the micro-deformation characteristics of the piston ring 36, so that the other end is wrapped around the piston block 31, and during installation, it is necessary to align the ring tube 1 42 with the ring tube 2 45 and insert it into the ring tube 2 45, and use the rubber ring 43 to squeeze the outer wall of the ring tube 1 42 to increase the sealing between the ring tube 1 42 and the ring tube 2 45. Similarly, the spring sheet 6 can be installed on the piston block 31.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
