[0031] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, a core replacement mechanism is provided, comprising:

[0033] A mold shaft 1, wherein a mold core is provided on the top of the mold shaft 1;

[0034] The adjusting structure 2 is connected to the mold shaft 1. When the adjusting structure 2 moves radially along the mold shaft 1, the mold shaft 1 will move along its axial direction.

[0035] The core replacement mechanism provided in the embodiments of the present application is applied to an injection mold. The core replacement mechanism includes a mold shaft 1 and an adjustment structure 2. The adjustment structure 2 is connected to the mold shaft 1 and plays an important role in adjusting the position of the mold shaft 1. During the mold core replacement process, when the old mold core on the mold shaft 1 needs to be removed and replaced with a new mold core, the adjustment structure 2 is activated. The adjustment structure 2 drives the mold shaft 1 to move along its axis, thereby ejecting the mold core. Under normal working conditions, the adjustment structure 2 can also fine-tune the position of the mold shaft 1 according to production requirements to ensure the accuracy and stability of the mold core during operation.

[0036] The regulating structure 2 comprises:

[0037] The adjusting member 21 includes at least one adjusting plate 211 arranged obliquely downward. At least one adjusting groove 22 is opened obliquely downward on the outer circumference of the mold shaft 1 , and the adjusting plate 211 is arranged in the adjusting groove 22 .

[0038] In this technical solution, the adjustment member 21 includes at least one adjustment plate 211 angled downward. At least one adjustment slot 22 is defined on the outer circumference of the mold shaft 1, angled downward. The shape and size of the adjustment slot 22 match the adjustment plate 211, allowing the adjustment plate 211 to be accurately positioned within the adjustment slot 22. When the mold shaft 1 needs to be moved axially to replace a mold core or adjust its position, the adjustment member 21 is pushed or pulled by an external drive mechanism. Because the adjustment plate 211 is angled downward within the adjustment slot 22, the interaction between the adjustment plate 211 and the adjustment slot 22 generates a force component along the axial direction of the mold shaft 1 when the adjustment member 21 moves. This force component propels the mold shaft 1 in its axial direction. By precisely controlling the movement distance and direction of the adjustment member 21, precise control of the axial movement of the mold shaft 1 can be achieved, thereby meeting diverse mold core replacement and position adjustment requirements.

[0039] During core replacement, the adjustment plate 211 of the adjustment member 21 cooperates with the adjustment slot 22 of the mold shaft 1 to quickly and accurately move the mold shaft 1 to the appropriate position, facilitating core replacement. Even during normal operation, the position of the mold shaft 1 can be adjusted at any time based on production needs to ensure the accuracy and stability of the core during operation.

[0040] The adjusting member 21 further includes a hand-held portion 212 and a driving portion 213 . The hand-held portion 212 is connected to the driving portion 213 , and the adjusting plate 211 is disposed on the driving portion 213 .

[0041] In this technical solution, the adjustment member 21 includes a handheld portion 212 and a drive portion 213. The drive portion 213 is connected to the handheld portion 212 and is responsible for transmitting power and controlling the movement of the adjustment plate 211. The adjustment plate 211 is arranged on the drive portion 213 and perfectly matches the adjustment slot 22 on the mold shaft 1. The connection between the adjustment plate 211 and the drive portion 213 can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an adjustable connection to meet different usage and maintenance requirements. During the core replacement process, the operator grasps the handheld portion 212 and applies force to the handheld portion 212 to transmit the operating force to the drive portion 213. The transmission mechanism inside the drive portion 213 converts the operating force into the movement of the adjustment plate 211, causing the adjustment plate 211 to move within the adjustment slot 22 of the mold shaft 1, thereby achieving precise control of the axial movement of the mold shaft 1, so that the core replacement operation can be completed quickly and accurately.

[0042] A driving groove for accommodating the mold shaft 1 is defined on a side of the driving portion 213 away from the handheld portion 212 , and the adjustment plate 211 is disposed on a side of the driving groove facing the mold shaft 1 .

[0043] In this technical solution, a driving groove for accommodating the mold shaft 1 is formed on the side of the driving portion 213 away from the handheld portion 212. The driving groove ensures that the mold shaft 1 can be accommodated and provides sufficient space for the movement of the adjustment plate 211.

[0044] The drive slot can be semicircular, rectangular, or other suitable shapes. An adjustment plate 211 is provided on the side of the drive slot facing the mold shaft 1. This arrangement allows the adjustment plate 211 to directly interact with the adjustment slot 22 on the mold shaft 1. Furthermore, two adjustment plates 211 are symmetrically mounted on either side of the drive slot, improving the stability of the movement of the mold shaft 1.

[0045] The drive groove not only provides stable support and guidance for the mold shaft 1, but also ensures more precise and reliable movement of the adjustment plate 211. During mold core replacement, the operator can easily place the mold shaft 1 into the drive groove and then quickly and accurately adjust the position of the mold shaft 1 by manipulating the handle 212, ensuring smooth core replacement. During normal operation, the drive groove also prevents the mold shaft 1 from shaking or shifting during operation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mold core.

[0046] A retaining groove 23 is further provided on the outer circumference of the mold shaft 1 . The retaining groove 23 is provided along the axis of the mold shaft 1 . The retaining groove 23 is connected to the adjusting groove 22 .

[0047] In this technical solution, a retaining groove 23 on the outer circumference of the mold shaft 1 further enhances the stability and reliability of the mechanism. The retaining groove 23 extends along the axis of the mold shaft 1 and connects to the adjustment groove 22. This connection ensures that the adjustment plate 211 smoothly transitions from the adjustment groove 22 to the retaining groove 23 during mold core replacement and position adjustment. The provision of the retaining groove 23 prevents the mold shaft 1 from excessively rising.

[0048] The adjustment structure 2 further includes a stopper 24 , which is disposed on one side of the hand-held portion 212 . When the highest point of the adjustment plate 211 moves to the stopper groove 23 , the stopper 24 contacts the hand-held portion 212 .

[0049] In this solution, a stopper 24 is positioned on one side of the handle 212. As the adjustment plate 211 adjusts the position of the mold shaft 1, the highest point of the adjustment plate 211 gradually moves as the operation progresses. When the highest point of the adjustment plate 211 reaches the stop groove 23, the stopper 24 contacts the handle 212 to limit the position, preventing excessive operation that could cause the adjustment member 21 to disengage from the mold shaft 1. This ensures that the adjustment plate 211 remains stably positioned within the stop groove 23, reliably stopping the mold shaft 1.

[0050] A pulling hole is defined on the handle portion 212 , and the stopper 24 is located in the pulling hole.

[0051] In this technical solution, a pulling hole is provided on the hand-held portion 212 , and a stopper 24 is installed in the pulling hole. The adjustment position of the adjusting member 21 is limited by pulling on both sides to prevent the adjusting member 21 from separating from the mold shaft 1 .
