Since it is a non-contact sensing mode, mechanical wear and poor contact problems are avoided, improving the service life of the switch and the stability of the signal. The sensing surface 31 is the area where the magnetic induction type proximity switch and the top pin fixed plate 94 or other metal components are inducted, ensuring accurate transmission and reception of the induction signal. By arranging the sensing surface 31 at the first end of response portion 3 and facing the safe position, it is ensured that the sensing surface 31 can timely and effectively receive the detection signal when the top pin is completely retreated to the safe position, thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of response portion 3 in inducting top pin fixed plate 94.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, a pressing nut 8 is arranged on the side of the sensing part 3 away from the fixing part 6, and the pressing nut 8 is arranged on the vertical section 22 and presses the sensing part 3.
[0045] In the technical scheme, the pressing nut 8 is arranged on the vertical section 22. By tightening the pressing nut 8, the sensing part 3 can be stably pressed on the fixing part 6, so as to prevent the sensing part 3 from deviating due to vibration or external force.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the sensing surface 31 is arranged on the end face of the sensing part 3 facing the ejector pin fixing plate 94.
[0047] In the above technical scheme, the induction surface 31 is arranged on the end surface of the induction portion 3 facing the ejector pin fixing plate 94, so that when the induction portion 3 cannot be lifted to be higher than the ejector pin fixing plate 94, the induction detection on whether the induction portion 3 reaches the safe position can also be performed from the side surface of the ejector pin fixing plate 94, and the adaptability of the ejector pin protection device is improved.
[0048] In combination with the drawings, Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the drawings, the utility model also provides a plastic mold, including plastic mold movable mold plate 9 and ejector pin protection device 10, and the ejector pin protection device 10 is the ejector pin protection device 10 of the above embodiment, and the ejector pin protection device 10 is adsorbedly connected with the plastic mold movable mold plate 9, and the ejector pin protection device 10 is arranged at the safe position of the ejector pin fixing plate 94 corresponding to the plastic mold movable mold plate 9.
[0049] In the above technical scheme, the plastic mold movable mold plate 9 is the main equipment of injection molding production, contains dynamic mold fixing plate 91, reset spring 93 and ejector pin fixing plate 94 and other key components, is responsible for the closing of mould, opening of mould and the forming of plastic product.The ejector pin protection device 10 is used for monitoring whether the ejector pin is retreated to the safe position under the action of reset spring 93 after ejection, and the ejector pin protection device 10 is adsorbedly connected with the plastic mold movable mold plate 9 through the adsorption portion arranged on the ejector pin protection device 10, so that quick assembly and disassembly can be realized without fixed screw.The ejector pin protection device 10 is arranged at the safe position corresponding to the retreat of the ejector pin fixing plate 94 of the plastic mold movable mold plate 9, so that the mold crushing accident caused by improper position of the ejector pin can be prevented, the safety of production is improved, and the unexpected downtime and equipment maintenance cost are reduced.
[0050] In an embodiment of the utility model, the plastic mold movable mold plate 9 includes dynamic mold fixing plate 91, and the dynamic mold fixing plate 91 is provided with mounting groove 92, and the ejector pin protection device 10 is arranged in the mounting groove 92, and the induction surface of the ejector pin protection device 10 faces the safe position of the ejector pin fixing plate 94.
[0051] In the above technical solution, the movable mold fixed plate 91 is an important component of the plastic mold, and bears one half of the mold. During the mold closing process, the movable mold fixed plate 91 combines with the other half of the plastic mold to form a complete cavity. The movable mold fixed plate 91 also provides a stable mounting base for the ejector pin protection device, ensuring that the ejector pin protection device does not shift due to external forces or vibrations during production, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the detection. The installation groove 92 is a specially designed slot on the movable mold fixed plate 91, used to accommodate the ejector pin protection device 10. By placing the protection device in the installation groove 92, the device can avoid collisions with moving parts during production, and also ensure that the device is tightly attached to the movable mold fixed plate 91, enhancing the stability of the device and reducing the sensing errors caused by position changes. By accurately directing the sensing surface 31 of the ejector pin protection device 10 towards the safe position to which the ejector pin fixed plate 94 needs to retreat after the ejection action is completed, it can ensure that the device can accurately detect the signal when the ejector pin is fully reset, avoiding false positives or false negatives caused by improper distance between the sensing surface 31 and the ejector pin fixed plate 94, and improving the response speed and reliability of the overall protection system.

Whether it is a confirmation signal that the ejector pin has reached the safe position or an alarm signal in an abnormal situation, it needs to be quickly and accurately transmitted to the control unit of the injection molding machine body through the data transmission cable, so that the control system can respond in time, such as allowing the mold to close or issuing an alarm to stop, to ensure the safety and smoothness of the production process.
[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model realize the following technical effects: the base 1 is the basis of the entire protection device and is used for bearing and connecting other components. The base 1 includes an adsorption part, so that the base 1 can be adsorbed on the target plane, realizing the installation and fixation of the ejector pin protection device.

The induction part 3 judges whether the ejector pin has been safely returned by sensing the position of the ejector pin fixing plate 94, thereby preventing the mold from being closed when the ejector pin has not completely returned, and avoiding the damage of the mold. The ejector pin protection device provided by the utility model can be adsorbed and fixed on the surface of the plastic mold through the adsorption part 4, and when it is necessary to adjust the detection position of the ejector pin protection device or disassemble and replace the ejector pin protection device, it can be taken and installed and fixed at any time, which is more convenient and fast, and improves the flexibility of the ejector pin protection device.
