Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, and in particular to a vertical inverted rod type mold clamping mechanism and an injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mold opening and closing mechanisms are mainly operated by hydraulic cylinders. Due to the large size of these cylinders, the center of gravity cannot be too high to ensure machine stability. Therefore, the cylinders are generally located under the machine frame. This results in a relatively high worktable, which is inconvenient for manual operation. Furthermore, repairing the cylinders requires almost disassembling the entire mold closing assembly, making operation extremely inconvenient. In addition, the use of hydraulic cylinders has inherent defects, such as a tendency to leak, leading to environmental problems and poor surrounding hygiene.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN2579641Y discloses a toggle mold clamping mechanism for an injection molding machine. It has a fixed mold plate, a moving mold plate, a base plate, a tie rod, a mold clamping cylinder, and a toggle linkage mechanism. One end of the tie rod is fixedly connected to the base plate. The toggle linkage mechanism is hinged to the front end support of the piston rod of the mold clamping cylinder and the base plate, respectively. The other end of the tie rod is fixedly connected to the moving mold plate. The fixed mold plate is supported by a support frame and is set between the base plate and the moving mold plate. The tie rod is slidably engaged with the fixed mold plate. The toggle linkage mechanism is set between the fixed mold plate and the base plate and is also hinged to the fixed mold plate. A positioning frame is provided on one side of the fixed mold plate, and the mold clamping cylinder is fixed on the positioning frame.

[0004] Although the above technical solution employs a toggle linkage mechanism, it still suffers from the following problems: The mold-closing cylinder and toggle linkage mechanism are located below the base plate, limiting the worktable height and preventing a lower worktable. The mold-closing cylinder is almost at the very bottom of the entire mold-closing assembly; therefore, repairing the cylinder requires almost disassembling the entire machine, which is cumbersome, inconvenient, and results in excessively high maintenance costs. Leakage issues exist, which is environmentally unfriendly and aesthetically unappealing. The numerous components and complex structure, coupled with the hydraulic oil's temperature sensitivity, lead to low mold-closing stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing mold clamping mechanisms that use a mold clamping cylinder located at the bottom of the injection molding machine, resulting in the worktable height not being set according to production needs, numerous parts, complex structure, low stability, inconvenient mold cylinder maintenance and operation, high cost, and leakage and environmental impact. In contrast, this utility model provides a vertical inverted rod type mold clamping mechanism, which has a simple structure, is inverted and set on the upper mold plate, is easy to maintain, the worktable height can be reasonably set according to needs, has no leakage, is environmentally friendly, and has good stability.

The screw assembly passes through the upper-upper mold plate and is connected to the crankshaft assembly.

The upper-upper mold plate is hinged to the upper mold plate through the crankshaft assembly, and the screw drives the crankshaft assembly and the upper mold plate to move downwards and upwards, thereby realizing the mold closing and opening movements. Simultaneously, the upper mold platen is driven by the mold adjustment component, which in turn moves it up and down along the mold opening and closing machine column, thus achieving mold closing and opening operations. The use of screw drive facilitates automation and intelligence, integrating advanced control algorithms and sensors for precise and rapid control response. Screw drive is unaffected by harsh environments such as low or high temperatures, ensuring high stability. The inverted mold closing screw mechanism is positioned above the upper mold platen, providing more space for the worktable to descend and meet user on-site needs.

[0046] The servo motor shaft 53 is provided with an injection pulley 54, and the lead screw assembly 6 is provided with an injection pulley 55. The synchronous belt 52 is wound around the injection pulley 54 and the injection pulley 55 to transmit power to the lead screw assembly 6.

[0047] The lead screw assembly 6 includes a ball screw 61 and a mold clamping lead screw fixing assembly 8 for connecting the ball screw to the upper mold plate. In other embodiments, the ball screw 61 may also adopt other lead screw structures, as long as the purpose of lead screw transmission can be achieved.

[0052] The upper mold plate 3 is provided with a crosshead mounting seat 34 extending downward and inward. The crosshead 93 is connected to the upper mold plate 3 through a mold guide post 10. The mold guide post 10 can slide up and down along the upper mold plate 3 to achieve a guiding function.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the mold adjustment assembly 7 includes a cycloidal motor 71 and a gear transmission assembly; the cycloidal motor 71 is symmetrically arranged in two sets. The gear transmission assembly includes mutually meshing mold adjustment drive teeth 73, a mold adjustment large gear 74, a mold adjustment auxiliary gear 76, and a mold adjustment nut tooth 75.

[0054] The mold adjustment drive gear 73 is mounted on the output shaft of the cycloidal motor, the mold adjustment large gear 74 is coaxially mounted on the upper mold plate with the lead screw, the mold adjustment nut gear 75 is mounted on the mold opening and closing machine column 4, and the mold adjustment auxiliary gear 76 is mounted on the upper mold plate between the mold adjustment nut gear 75 and the mold adjustment large gear 74.

[0055] The cycloidal motor 71 is symmetrically arranged below the upper template 3, and the output shaft 72 of the cycloidal motor 71 is rotatably and vertically connected to the upper template 3 through the motor bearing 71-1. The upper end of the output shaft 72 of the cycloidal motor 71 is horizontally provided with the mold adjustment drive tooth 73. The mold adjustment drive tooth 73 is provided with a mold adjustment pressure plate 73-1 with a U-shaped structure. The mold adjustment pressure plate 73-1 realizes the pressing and protection of the mold adjustment drive tooth 73, and at the same time, it can ensure that the mold adjustment drive tooth 73 can mesh with the mold adjustment gear 74.

[0056] The mold-adjusting gear 74 is coaxially arranged with the ball screw 61 on the upper plate surface of the upper template 3. Specifically, the mold-adjusting gear 74 includes a gear body 74-1, a gear pressure ring 74-2, and several mold-adjusting gear fixing shafts 74-3, as well as a fixing shaft bearing 74-4 that realizes the rotational connection between the mold-adjusting gear fixing shafts 74-3 and the upper template 3.

[0057] The mold-adjusting gear fixing shaft 74-3 presses the large gear pressure ring 74-2 onto the upper template and achieves radial and axial limiting of the large gear body 74-1.

[0058] The inner side of the large gear body 74-1 is provided with a bearing sliding groove 74-5, and the fixed shaft bearing 74-4 is horizontally arranged on the mold adjustment gear fixed shaft 74-3 and slidably arranged inside the bearing sliding groove 74-5.

[0060] Four mold-opening and closing machine columns 4 are symmetrically arranged front and rear. Each mold-opening and closing machine column 4 has an external thread 41 at its upper end.

Each adjusting nut tooth 75 is provided on the upper template 3. A mold-adjusting auxiliary gear 76 is provided. The mold-adjusting auxiliary gear 76 is rotatably mounted on the upper mold plate 3 via an auxiliary gear shaft 76-1, so that the large gear body 74-1 meshes with the mold-adjusting auxiliary gear 76, and the mold-adjusting auxiliary gear 76 meshes with the mold-adjusting nut gear 75. This enables the motion of the large gear body 74-1 to be carried and transmitted to the mold-adjusting nut gear 75, thereby enabling the mold-adjusting nut gear 75 to drive the upper mold plate 3 to move up and down along the mold opening and closing machine column 4. Finally, it cooperates with the power assembly 5 and the lead screw assembly 6 to realize the mold opening and closing motion.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper template 2 is a rectangular integrated structure.

An active hole 25 is provided coaxially with the ball screw 61 at the center position of the support 23. A lower connecting rod hinge seat 26 is provided on the support 23 corresponding to the lower connecting rod 96. The lower end of the lower connecting rod 96 is hinged to the lower connecting rod hinge seat 26 through the fourth connecting rod shaft 14.

[0062] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the upper template 3 is a rectangular integrated structure. A sliding hole 31 is provided on the upper template 3 corresponding to the mold opening and closing machine column 4. A screw assembly mounting hole 32 is provided at the center of the upper template 3. A servo motor mounting bracket 33 is provided on one side of the upper template 3. Crosshead mounting seats 34 are provided on both sides of the lower plate surface of the upper template 3, and mold closing guide rod holes 35 are provided on the crosshead mounting seats 34. A mold closing guide rod hole 36 is provided on the upper template 3 corresponding to the mold closing guide rod hole 32, and the mold closing guide rod 10 is movably inserted through the upper template guide rod hole 36.

[0063] The upper connecting rod 94 has a two-bar structure, and the lower connecting rod 96 has a three-bar structure. A crosshead limiting block is provided below the crosshead mounting base 34.

[0064] An upper connecting rod hinge seat 37 is provided on the lower plate surface of the upper template 3, and the upper end of the upper connecting rod 94 is hinged to the fifth connecting rod shaft 15.

[0065] The upper connecting rod 94 and the lower connecting rod 96 are hinged together by the first connecting rod shaft 11. One end of the middle connecting rod 95 is hinged to the upper connecting rod 94 by the second connecting rod shaft 12, and the other end of the middle connecting rod 95 is hinged to the crosshead 93 by the third connecting rod shaft 13. The crosshead guide rod holes 93-4 and the mold closing guide rod holes 35 at the other two cross ends of the crosshead 93 are stacked on top of each other to allow the mold closing guide rod 10 to pass through, so as to facilitate the up and down sliding of the mold closing guide rod 10, thereby realizing the guiding function in the mold opening and closing process.

[0066] The vertical inverted rod mold closing mechanism in the above embodiments is set in pairs during use, which can realize dual-mold operation and effectively improve production efficiency.

[0067] The specific mold closing process is as follows: the servo motor 51 works, driving synchronous motion, which in turn drives the ball screw 61 to rotate. The ball screw 61 moves downward, pressing the crankshaft assembly 9 and the upper mold plate 2 downward. At the same time, the cycloidal motor 71 works, driving the mold adjustment drive gear 73 to rotate, driving the mold adjustment large gear 74 to drive the mold adjustment auxiliary gear 76 and the mold adjustment nut gear 75 to rotate, thereby driving the upper mold plate 3 to move downward along the mold opening and closing machine column 4, thus making the entire upper mold plate 2 and the upper mold plate 3 move downward, realizing mold closing.

[0068] Mold opening process: The servo motor 51 reverses its operation, driving the ball screw 61 to rotate upward, pulling the upper mold plate 2 and crankshaft assembly 9 upward. At the same time, the cycloidal motor 71 operates, driving the mold adjustment drive gear 73 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the mold adjustment large gear 74 to drive the mold adjustment auxiliary gear 76 and mold adjustment nut gear 75 to rotate, thereby driving the upper mold plate 3 to move upward along the mold opening and closing machine column 4, thus making the entire upper mold plate 2 and upper mold plate 3 move upward, realizing mold opening.

[0069] The vertical inverted rod mold clamping mechanism in the above embodiments replaces the original mold cylinder with a lead screw assembly and a crankshaft assembly. The lead screw drive is easy to automate and make intelligent. It integrates advanced control algorithms and sensors to achieve precise and fast control response, high stability, and long service life.

[0070] Traditional mold opening and closing methods use mold cylinders for mold opening. However, hydraulic oil is highly sensitive to temperature, resulting in poor stability and a short service life. Screw drives, on the other hand, are not limited by harsh environments such as low or high temperatures, offering high stability and a long service life.

[0071] By adopting an inverted design where the mold-closing mechanism is positioned on the upper mold plate, the worktable has more room to descend, meeting the user's on-site needs. Maintenance and repair costs are also lower. The crankshaft-driven structure is relatively simple, with fewer components and higher overall reliability, while traditional hydraulic transmission involves multiple hydraulic components and pipelines, increasing system failure points and maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, the high precision requirements for hydraulic components increase costs.

[0072] The large mold-adjusting gear 74 replaces the base cylinder, and four mold-adjusting auxiliary gears 76 and mold-adjusting nut teeth 75 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the upper mold plate 3 to achieve gear transmission. Compared with the traditional mold-closing mechanism that uses two base cylinders, the gear transmission is smoother, more stable, and has a longer service life.

[0073] Example 2:

[0074] exist Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, an injection molding machine with a vertical inverted rod type mold clamping mechanism includes two sets of the aforementioned vertical inverted rod type mold clamping mechanisms 100, an injection frame assembly 200, a dual injection unit 300 disposed on the injection frame assembly 200, and an electrical control box assembly 400.

[0075] The dual injection unit 300 is horizontally and parallelly arranged on the injection frame assembly 200, and the dual injection unit 300 includes injection unit one and injection unit two.

[0076] This injection molding machine, equipped with a vertical inverted rod clamping mechanism, replaces the original mold cylinder with a lead screw assembly and crankshaft assembly. The lead screw drive facilitates automation and intelligent operation, integrating advanced control algorithms and sensors to achieve precise and rapid control response, high stability, and long service life. The lead screw drive is not limited by harsh environments such as low or high temperatures, ensuring high stability and a long service life.

[0077] By adopting an inverted design where the mold-closing mechanism is mounted on the upper mold plate, the worktable has more room to descend, meeting the user's on-site needs. Maintenance and repair costs are lower; the crankshaft-driven structure is relatively simple, with fewer parts, higher overall reliability, and lower cost. A large mold-adjusting gear 74 replaces the base cylinder, and four mold-adjusting auxiliary gears 76 and mold-adjusting nut teeth 75 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the upper mold plate 3 to achieve gear transmission. Compared to the traditional mold-closing mechanism using two base cylinders, the gear transmission is smoother, more stable, and has a longer service life.
