This molding die can be used to injection mold different types of circuit breaker middle covers by replacing the upper and lower dies adapted to different types of circuit breaker middle covers, and both the upper and lower dies are mounted on the fixing rods using through holes and can be moved. However, there is a defect, namely, when replacing, the base must first be fixed with the help of a fixing auxiliary tool, and then the upper and lower dies must be disassembled one by one, which is relatively cumbersome. At the same time, the fixing rods and the base are connected by threads, which restricts the overall disassembly, namely, each fixing rod needs to be disengaged from the threaded hole, which is also relatively cumbersome.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0018] Referring to the accompanying drawings: This type of injection mold for a circuit breaker includes a base 1, a lower mold 2, an upper mold 3, and a fixing rod 4 provided on the base 1 and used to provide a guide for the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 2 to move. A mold cavity 21 is provided inside the top of the lower mold 2, and a mold base 31 is fixed to the bottom end of the upper mold 3 to be combined with the mold cavity 21. The base 1 includes a main body 11 and sub-bodies 12 located on both sides thereof. The main body 11 has an assembly base surface 11-a, and the sub-body 12 has an assembly mating surface 12-a in contact with the assembly base surface 11-a. The assembly base surface 11-a and the assembly mating surface 12-a are in contact with each other. The surfaces 12-a are each formed with insertion spaces 5 for placing the fixing rods 4 therein, and the two insertion spaces 5 form a complete circular hole after the main body 11 and the auxiliary body 12 are assembled. The assembly base surface 11-a is provided with a number of guide rods 6 for providing movement guidance for the auxiliary body 12, and an extension body 7 located below the auxiliary body 12 and with a reserved spacing therefrom. The extension body 7 is provided with two stop blocks 8 symmetrically distributed on both sides and abutting against the auxiliary body 12 to prevent the main body 11 and the auxiliary body 12 from separating after the assembly base surface 11-a and the assembly mating surface 12-a come into contact. The principle of the present invention is that when replacing the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3, there is no need to remove the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 from the fixing rod 4, that is, it is only necessary to remove the fixing rod 4 from the base 1 to remove the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 together. This method of disassembling the entire body is more convenient than the method of disassembling one by one. When assembling or disassembling, it is only necessary to place the fixing rod 4 with the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 into the insertion space 5, and then use the assembly and splicing of the main body 11 and the auxiliary body 12 to confine the fixing rod 4 in the insertion space 5. This method does not require the cumbersome method of threaded connection as in the prior art. The guide rod 6 is used to provide support and guidance for the auxiliary body 12, so that the auxiliary body 12 can always keep its upper end surface and the upper end surface of the main body 11 at the same level while moving. The extension body 7 provides installation for the stop block 8, and after the stop block 8 is installed, it prevents the main body 11 and the auxiliary body 12 from separating after contacting the assembly base surface 11-a and the assembly mating surface 12-a, so that the fixing rod 4 always remains in the insertion space 5.

[0019] A locking rod 51 is provided in the insertion space 5 formed on the assembly base surface 11-a to prevent the fixing rod 4 from detaching when the fixing rod 4 is placed therein. A locking socket 41 is provided on the fixing rod 4 to be combined with the locking rod 51. The locking rod 51 and the fixing rod 4 are arranged vertically, so that after the locking rod 51 is inserted into the locking socket 41, it can exist in the vertical direction of the fixing rod 4 to constrain the vertical movement of the fixing rod 5. In this way, when the upper mold 3 is demolded, the fixing rod 4 will not move with it and will always remain stationary.

[0020] A limit block 61 is provided at one end of the guide rod 6 that is not connected to the assembly base surface 11-a to prevent the sub-body 12 from separating from the guide rod 6. The sub-body 12 has an assembly back side 12-b opposite to the assembly mating surface 12-a. The assembly back side 12-b is provided with a hidden hole 12-b1 that matches the number and position of the guide rod 6 and is connected to the guide hole 12-c for realizing the displacement of the sub-body 12 on the guide rod 6. The limit block 61 exists in the moving direction of the sub-body 12 away from the main body 11, and is used to prevent the sub-body 12 from separating from the guide rod 6. This is achieved by utilizing the size difference between the limit block 61 and the guide hole 12-c (the outer diameter of the limit block 61 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide hole 12-c). In this embodiment, the guide rod 6 and the main body 11 are detachably connected, which is achieved by threaded connection or plug-in (satisfactory fit). Generally, a threaded connection is adopted, that is, the guide rod 6 is connected to the main body 11 after passing through the guide hole 12-c set on the sub-body 12. This not only makes it convenient to remove or install the guide rod 6, but also does not require adjusting the position between each guide rod 6 after the installation is completed. The guide rod 6 can be screwed to the bottom.

[0021] The stop block 8 has a transverse section 81 and a vertical section 82 arranged perpendicular to it. A first plug block 81-a is provided on the lower end face of the transverse section 81 and is inserted into the socket 71 formed on the extension body 7. A second plug block 82-a is provided on the side of the vertical section 82 close to the assembly back side 12-b and is inserted into the slot 12-b2 formed on the assembly back side 12-b. When setting the stop block 8, the second plug block 82-a is first inserted into the slot 12-b2. The slot 12-b2 is also arranged vertically. In this way, when the second plug block 82-a is inserted into the final position of the slot 12-b2, the first plug block 81-a can also be synchronously inserted into the socket 71. The slot 12-b2 can not only increase the structural pulling effect of the stop block 8 when acting on the sub-body 12, but also has a positioning effect.

[0022] There is a synchronization rod 9 arranged on the transverse section 81 between two adjacent stop blocks 8 located on the same side, so that when the stop blocks 8 are installed or removed, the synchronization rod 9 can be used to synchronize the installation or removal of the two stop blocks 8, which is convenient and quick.

[0023] The upper end surface of the extension body 7 is formed with guide grooves 72 symmetrically distributed on both sides, and the lower end surface of the auxiliary body 12 is provided with a slider group 10 whose position and number match the guide grooves 72. Each slider group 10 has two sliders, and the part where the slider contacts the inner bottom surface of the guide groove 72 is an arc configuration. Such a setting enables the auxiliary body 12 to have a lower support. The guide groove 72 uses its own limited space and guiding function to enable the slider group 10 to move along its guiding direction, and the setting of the arc-shaped configuration of the contact part can also reduce the contact area, thereby making the movement of the auxiliary body 12 smoother.

[0024] While the present invention has been shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein within the scope of the claims.
