[0024] The injection molding machine 5 is used to inject molten raw materials into the fixed mold 3 to form a desired product shape.

[0025] A first movable plate 16 is provided at both ends of the workbench 1 and is located between the movable mold 2 and the fixed mold 3 so as to be liftable. A support plate 12 is movably provided on the front side of the first movable plate 16, and two cutting knives 6 that can move inward are provided at the bottom of the support plate 12. A second movable plate 23 is slidably provided on the top of the workbench 1 and is located behind the cutting knife 6. A sponge block 9 for cleaning the surface of the cutting knife 6 is provided at the bottom of the second movable plate 23 so as to be liftable. A collection frame 10 for collecting gate impurities is provided inside the workbench 1 and is located below the movable mold 2.

[0026] The gate is the part that connects the plastic part to the nozzle of the injection molding machine 5 and is removed by the cutting knife 6.

[0027] After the cutting blade 6 has completed cutting the gate, the sponge block 9 is driven to move to the surface of the cutting blade 6 to clean the surface of the cutting blade 6.

[0028] The cut gate will fall into the collection frame 10 for collection.

[0029] First, install the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2 at the designated position of the workbench 1, start the injection molding machine 5, inject the molten raw material into the fixed mold 3, and inject the molten plastic raw material into the cavity formed between the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2 by starting the movable mold 2 to fit the fixed mold 3. After the rear shell of the washing machine is formed, the movable mold 2 moves backward. After moving to a certain position, the cutting knife 6 is driven to move to the rear side of the injection molded part by the movable support plate 12. The gate on the surface of the injection molded part is cut by starting the two cutting knives 6. After the cutting is completed, the cutting knife 6 is moved to both ends to ensure that it does not interfere with the use of the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2. Then, the surface of the two cutting knives 6 is cleaned with the sponge block 9, and the gate falls into the collection frame 10 for collection.

[0030] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder 4 is laterally provided on one side of the top of the workbench 1 , and the movable mold 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is started to generate thrust to push the movable mold 2 toward the fixed mold 3. When the movable mold 2 is in close contact with the fixed mold 3, the mold closing operation is completed. After the mold closing is completed, the injection molding machine 5 is started to inject the molten plastic raw material into the mold cavity.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the workbench 1 is vertically fixedly connected to a first accommodating box 7, the top of the first accommodating box 7 is fixedly connected to a first motor 13, the output shaft of the first motor 13 is fixedly connected to a first threaded rod 14, the surface of the first threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to a first threaded sleeve 15, one end of the first movable plate 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first threaded sleeve 15, the front side of the first movable plate 16 is fixedly connected to a plurality of electric telescopic rods 11, and the rear side of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the electric telescopic rods 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, by adjusting the height of the support plate 12 , interference with the operation of the movable mold 2 and the fixed mold 3 can be avoided, and the cutting blade 6 can be adjusted to cut plastic parts with gates of different sizes.

[0034] By starting the first motor 13, its output shaft rotates, thereby driving the first threaded rod 14 to rotate. Since the first threaded sleeve 15 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 14, when the first threaded rod 14 rotates, the first threaded sleeve 15 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod, thereby driving the first movable plate 16 to rise and fall. When the position of the support plate 12 needs to be adjusted, the electric telescopic rod 11 can be started to make it telescopic, thereby pushing the support plate 12 to move forward and backward.

[0035] Furthermore, one end of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected to a second motor 17, the output shaft of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 18, both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 18 are threadedly connected to a second threaded sleeve 19, and each of the cutting knives 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each second threaded sleeve 19.

[0036] In this embodiment, by starting the second motor 17, the output shaft thereof rotates, thereby driving the bidirectional threaded rod 18 to rotate. When the second threaded sleeve 19 moves, the cutting knife 6 fixedly connected thereto will also move accordingly, thereby realizing the gate cutting operation.

[0037] Furthermore, electric slide rails 20 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the workbench 1, and a sliding block 21 is slidably provided on the surface of each electric slide rail 20. The top of each sliding block 21 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 22, and the second movable plate 23 is fixedly connected between the two vertical rods 22.

[0038] In this embodiment, by controlling the motor of the electric slide rail 20, the linear motion of the sliding block 21 on the slide rail can be achieved. When the sliding block 21 moves, the vertical rod 22 and the second movable plate 23 fixedly connected to it will also move accordingly, thereby driving the sponge block 9 to move and move to the surface of the cutting knife 6.

[0039] Furthermore, two second accommodating boxes 8 corresponding to the cutting knife 6 are vertically provided on the front side of the second movable plate 23, and the top of the second accommodating box 8 is fixedly connected to the third motor 24, and the output shaft of the third motor 24 is fixedly connected to the second threaded rod 27, and the surface of the second threaded rod 27 is threadedly connected to the third threaded sleeve 25, and one end of the sponge block 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the third threaded sleeve 25.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sponge block 9 can be replaced when it becomes dirty or worn.

[0041] When the cutting blade 6 needs to be cleaned, the third motor 24 is started, and the output shaft of the third motor 24 drives the second threaded rod 27 to rotate. As the second threaded rod 27 rotates, the third threaded sleeve 25 moves along the axial direction of the second threaded rod 27, thereby driving the sponge block 9 to move downward to clean the surface of the cutting blade 6. After cleaning is completed, the third motor 24 will reverse or continue to rotate to return the sponge block 9 to its initial position.

[0042] A feeding pipe 26 is extended from the bottom of the collecting frame 10 to one side, and the other end of the feeding pipe 26 is connected to the outside.

[0043] In this embodiment, a valve may be provided on the discharge pipe 26. When the material in the collecting frame 10 reaches a certain amount or needs to be discharged, the valve can be opened to discharge the gate in the collecting frame 10.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: After the present invention is installed, first install the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2 at the designated positions of the workbench 1, start the injection molding machine 5, inject the molten raw material into the fixed mold 3, and start the movable mold 2 to fit the fixed mold 3 to inject the molten plastic raw material into the cavity formed between the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2. After the rear shell of the washing machine is formed, the movable mold 2 moves backward. After moving to a certain position, the cutting knife 6 is driven to move to the rear side of the injection molded part by the movable support plate 12. The gate on the surface of the injection molded part is cut by starting the two cutting knives 6. After the cutting is completed, the cutting knife 6 is moved to both ends to ensure that it does not interfere with the use of the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 2. Then, the surface of the two cutting knives 6 is cleaned with the sponge block 9, and the gate falls into the collection frame 10 for collection.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
