Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of injection molding machine clamping equipment, and in particular to an injection molding machine clamping device. Background Technology
[0002] The clamping device of an injection molding machine is a crucial component in the injection molding process. Its main function is to firmly close and keep the mold closed during the injection stage to withstand the injection pressure and ensure precise alignment of the mold during the opening and closing process.
[0003] Patent CN221562165U discloses a mold-locking mechanism for an injection molding machine. It includes an operating table with a lower mold positioned at the top center and an upper mold positioned above it. First strip plates are symmetrically arranged on the top left and right sides of the lower mold, and second strip plates are symmetrically arranged on the bottom left and right sides of the upper mold. When using this patent for mold locking, the first and second strip plates are engaged, while a connecting block fits into a connecting groove and a square block fits into a recess. A receiver, photoelectric transmitter, and controller activate a motor, driving a screw to rotate, causing a limiting tube to penetrate into a circular hole. The connecting block is then fixed in the connecting groove, completing the locking between the upper and lower molds. However, in this patent, the upper and lower molds are exposed to the air, and the injection molding material is molten plastic with a high temperature. After injection molding, the overall temperature of the upper and lower molds rises rapidly. With the upper and lower molds exposed, this increases the risk of accidental contact by the operator, potentially leading to severe burns.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an injection molding machine clamping device that can isolate the high-temperature region of injection molding. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above-mentioned patents, where the upper and lower molds are exposed to the air and the injection material is molten plastic with a high temperature, the overall temperature of the upper and lower molds will rise rapidly after injection. When the upper and lower molds are exposed, it will increase the risk of operators accidentally touching them and causing serious burns. This utility model provides an injection molding machine clamping device that can isolate the high-temperature injection area.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: A molding clamping device for an injection molding machine, comprising a support platform, a mounting plate, a lower mold, a sliding plate, an upper mold, an injection port, an electric push rod, a fixed plate, and connecting rods. The mounting plate is mounted on the support platform, and the lower mold is mounted on the mounting plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1: A mold clamping device for an injection molding machine, see reference. Figures 1-6As shown, the system includes a support platform 1, a mounting plate 2, a lower mold 3, a sliding plate 4, an upper mold 5, injection ports 50, an electric push rod 6, a fixing plate 7, and connecting rods 8. The mounting plate 2 is bolted to the top of the support platform 1. The lower mold 3 is mounted on the top of the mounting plate 2. Connecting rods 8 are symmetrically slidably arranged on both sides of the top of the support platform 1, passing through the support platform 1. A sliding plate 4 is fixedly connected between the top ends of the four connecting rods 8. The upper mold 5 is mounted in the middle of the sliding plate 4, located above the lower mold 3. Two injection ports 50 are connected to the top of the upper mold 5. The electric push rod 6 is bolted to the inside of the support platform 1. A fixed plate 7 is installed on the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 6. The ends of four connecting rods 8 are installed on the fixed plate 7. It also includes a heat insulation curtain 12, a connecting plate 13, an electric telescopic rod 14, and a telescopic guide rod 15. The electric telescopic rod 14 is installed on the bottom right side of the sliding plate 4 by bolt connection. The electric telescopic rod 14 is located to the right of the upper mold 5. The telescopic guide rod 15 is fixed to the bottom left side of the sliding plate 4. The telescopic guide rod 15 is located to the left of the upper mold 5. A connecting plate 13 is provided between the telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod 14 and the bottom end of the telescopic guide rod 15. A heat insulation curtain 12 is provided between the connecting plate 13 and the sliding plate 4. The upper mold 5 is located inside the heat insulation curtain 12.
[0024] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes corner protectors 19, with corner protectors 19 fitted on all four corners of the sliding plate 4.
[0025] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes linear bearings 20. Linear bearings 20 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the top of the support platform 1, and the connecting rod 8 slides in the adjacent linear bearings 20.
[0026] When the device is to be used for injection molding, the electric push rod 6 is activated. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 6 drives the fixed plate 7 and the connecting rod 8 to move downwards. The connecting rod 8 then drives the sliding plate 4 and the upper mold 5 to move downwards. After the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 3 are engaged, the upper mold 5 is connected to the external injection molding machine, so that the external injection molding machine injects molten plastic into the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 3 through the injection port 50. During injection molding, the electric telescopic rod 14 is activated. The telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod 14 extends, driving the connecting plate 13 to move downwards. The telescopic guide rod 15 is extended, and the heat insulation curtain 12 is pulled open, thereby isolating the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 3 to prevent workers from being burned due to accidental contact, thus improving safety. The linear bearing 20 reduces the friction between the support platform 1 and the connecting rod 8, improving efficiency and reducing energy loss. The corner protectors 19 protect the four corners of the sliding plate 4, reducing direct contact between the corners of the sliding plate 4 and the surrounding environment, thereby reducing wear.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figures 1-5As shown, it also includes a temperature detector 9, a temperature display 10, and an indicator light 11. The temperature detector 9 is installed on the lower front side of the upper mold 5 by means of bolt connection. The temperature display 10 is installed on the middle front side of the sliding plate 4 by means of bolt connection. The temperature display 10 is electrically connected to the temperature detector 9. The indicator light 11 is installed on the top of the temperature display 10 by means of bolt connection. The indicator light 11 is electrically connected to the temperature display 10.
[0028] During injection molding, the temperature of the upper mold 5 is monitored in real time by the temperature detector 9 and fed back to the temperature display 10, so that the temperature display 10 displays the temperature data of the upper mold 5. When the temperature is too high, the indicator light 11 will show red, and when the temperature drops to a suitable degree Celsius, the indicator light 11 will show green. This can remind the operator to pay attention to the high temperature, reduce the risk of burns, and accurately control the cooling time to prevent premature demolding.
[0029] See Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a support plate 16, a refrigeration box 17, a water pump 1801, and a refrigeration pipe 18. The support plate 16 is installed on the mounting plate 2 by welding. The refrigeration box 17 is installed on the support plate 16. The water pumps 1801 are installed symmetrically on the top of the refrigeration box 17 by bolt connection. The two water pumps 1801 are connected by a refrigeration pipe 18. The refrigeration pipe 18 is filled with refrigerant and surrounds the outside of the lower mold 3.
[0030] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a heat insulation shell 21. The heat insulation shell 21 is welded to the upper part of the lower mold 3, and the cooling pipe 18 is located between the heat insulation shell 21 and the lower mold 3.
[0031] During the cooling process, the water pump 1801 is started. The two water pumps 1801 respectively draw the condensate from the refrigeration box 17 and the refrigeration pipe 18 to form a condensate circulation system, which accelerates the transformation of plastic from molten to solid state, shortens molding time, and improves overall production efficiency. The heat insulation shell 21 can prevent cold air from escaping and accelerate the cooling efficiency.
