AI Technical Summary
The locating pins of existing injection molding machines do not retract properly from the locating hole slots, causing the turntable or slide plate to collide with the locating pins and cause damage when moving.
The positioning pin structure, driven by an inductive switch and a hydraulic cylinder, is used. The inductive block triggers the inductive switch to unlock the drive device of the turntable or slide plate. The drive device of the turntable or slide plate can only be started after the positioning pin is out of the positioning slot and into place, thus avoiding collision.
It effectively avoids collisions between the turntable or slide plate and the positioning pin, protecting the equipment from damage. The structure is simple and compact.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to injection molding machines, and more specifically to a locking structure for injection molding machines. Background Technology
[0002] Existing injection molding machines (rotary and slide types) rely on the cooperation of locating pins and locating slots to lock the rotary or slide type. There is a problem that the locating pins may not be fully disengaged from the locating slots. Once the locating pins are not fully disengaged from the locating slots, some of the locating pins will remain in the locating slots. If the rotary or slide moves at this time, it will collide with the locating pins and cause damage. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention proposes a locking structure for injection molding machines, aiming to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model:
[0005] A locking structure for an injection molding machine includes a positioning hole slot and a positioning pin disposed on a turntable or slide plate. The positioning pin is installed below the turntable or slide plate; it is inserted into the positioning hole slot to lock the turntable or slide plate, and released from the positioning hole slot to release the turntable or slide plate. A sensor switch is installed below the turntable or slide plate and connected to the drive device of the turntable or slide plate. A sensor block is installed on the positioning pin. When the positioning pin exits the positioning hole, the sensor block triggers the sensor switch, and the sensor switch unlocks the drive device of the turntable or slide plate. Thus, the drive device of the turntable or slide plate can only be activated after the positioning pin exits the positioning hole (is in position), allowing the turntable or slide plate to move, effectively preventing collisions.
[0006] To further refine the above technical solution, the sensing block is located at the end of the positioning pin and is threadedly connected to the positioning pin; thus, the height of the sensing block can be adjusted.
[0007] To further refine the above technical solution, a protective cover is installed on the inductive switch.
[0008] Further refining the above technical solution, a hydraulic cylinder is built into the lower template, and the positioning pin is the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, which is driven by the hydraulic cylinder to move, insert or withdraw from the positioning hole slot; making the overall structure more compact.
[0009] Further refining the above technical solution, one end cap is fixed on the lower template and located below the lower template, and the hydraulic cylinder is integrated with the lower template and the end cap.
[0010] The advantages of this utility model are that it has a reasonable design, simple structure, and effectively avoids collisions between the turntable or slide plate and the positioning pin, thus preventing damage. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Example
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotary injection molding machine employs a locking structure including a positioning hole groove and a positioning pin 2 on the rotary table 1. The positioning pin 2 is installed below the rotary table 1. When it is inserted into the positioning hole groove, it locks the rotary table 1; when it is removed from the positioning hole groove, it releases the rotary table 1. A sensor switch 3 is installed below the rotary table 1 (fixed on the lower template 4 and placed in a groove on the lower template 4) and connected to the drive device of the rotary table 1. A sensor block 5 is installed on the positioning pin 2. When the positioning pin 2 is removed from the positioning hole groove 2, the sensor block 5 triggers the sensor switch 3, and the sensor switch 3 unlocks the drive device of the rotary table 1.
[0016] The sensing block 5 is located at the end of the positioning pin 2 and is threadedly connected to the positioning pin 2.
[0017] The hydraulic cylinder 6 is built into the lower template 4. The positioning pin 2 is the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6, which is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 6 to move, insert or exit the positioning hole slot. The end cover 7 is fixed on the lower template 4 and located below the lower template 4. The hydraulic cylinder 6, the lower template 4 and the end cover 7 are integrated.
[0018] Example
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, a sliding plate injection molding machine employs a locking structure including a positioning hole groove and a positioning pin 2 on the upper sliding plate 8. The positioning pin 2 is installed below the upper sliding plate 8. When it is inserted into the positioning hole groove, it locks the upper sliding plate 8; when it is removed from the positioning hole groove, it releases the upper sliding plate 8. A sensor switch 3 is installed below the upper sliding plate 8 (fixed on the lower sliding plate 9 and falling into a groove on the lower sliding plate 9) and connected to the drive device of the upper sliding plate 8. A sensor block 5 is installed on the positioning pin 2. When the positioning pin 2 is removed from the positioning hole 2, the sensor block 5 triggers the sensor switch 3, and the sensor switch 3 unlocks the drive device of the upper sliding plate 8.
[0020] The sensing block 5 is located at the end of the positioning pin 2 and is threadedly connected to the positioning pin 2.
[0021] A protective cover 10 is installed on the induction switch 3;
[0022] The hydraulic cylinder 6 is built-in installed in the lower die plate 4, the positioning pin 2 is the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6, and the positioning pin 2 is driven to move, insert or exit the positioning hole groove by the hydraulic cylinder 6; the end cover 7 is fixed on the lower die plate 4 and located below the lower die plate 4, and the hydraulic cylinder 6 is integrated with the lower die plate 4 and the end cover 7.
