The rod external end cleaning mechanism 4 includes two symmetrically arranged L-shaped mounting brackets 44 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. An inclined C-shaped rod 45 is fixedly connected to the inner end of each L-shaped mounting bracket 44. A guide groove 46 is opened at the inner end of the inclined C-shaped rod 45. A first guide post 47 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each guide groove 46. A first fixing ring 48 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer end of the first guide post 47. A first spring 411 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the first fixed ring 48, and a first C-shaped plate 49 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the first spring 411. A first guide post 47 passes through the first C-shaped plate 49, and a semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 is fixedly connected to the end of the first guide post 47 away from the first fixed ring 48. A screw 43 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first C-shaped plate 49 and passes through the first C-shaped plate 49. The lower end of the screw 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 42. A support plate 41 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the stepper motor 42 and a base 1 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the support plate 41. A rod lubrication assembly 412 is threadedly connected to the screw 43 and is located on the upper part of the first C-shaped plate 49.
[0025] In this embodiment, the rod lubrication assembly 412 includes a second C-shaped plate 4123 threadedly connected to the outer end of the screw 43, through which the screw 43 passes. Second guide posts 4121 are slidably connected to both sides of the second C-shaped plate 4123, and the second guide posts 4121 penetrate the second C-shaped plate 4123. A guide groove 46 is slidably connected to the outer end of each second guide post 4121. A second fixing ring 4122 is fixedly connected to the outer end of each second guide post 4121. Two second fixing rings 4122 are close to each other, and a second spring 4127 is fixedly connected to one end of each second fixing ring 4122. The second spring 4127 is away from the first... Two fixed rings 4122 are fixedly connected to one end of a second C-shaped plate 4123. The front end of the second C-shaped plate 4123 has two symmetrically arranged slots. Each second guide post 4121 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped support bracket 4124 at its inner end. The inner end of the L-shaped support bracket 4124 is rotatably connected to a follower shaft 4125 through a bearing. The follower shaft 4125 passes through the slot and is fixedly connected to a gear 4128. The inner end of the gear 4128 is meshed with a rack 4129, and the lower end of the rack 4129 is fixedly connected to a base 1. A lubricating roller 4126 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer end of the follower shaft 4125.
[0026] Specifically, the lubrication assembly 412 powers the stepper motor 42, causing the output of the stepper motor 42 to drive the screw 43 to rotate, which in turn moves the second C-shaped plate 4123 downward, thereby moving the second guide post 4121, the second fixing ring 4122, the second C-shaped plate 4123, the L-shaped support bracket 4124, the follower shaft 4125, the lubrication roller 4126, the second spring 4127, and the gear 4128 downward. During this downward movement, the second guide post 4121... Simultaneously, the second guide post 4121 moves inward, causing the L-shaped support bracket 4124 to move inward. At this time, the follower shaft 4125 moves within the slot. When the gear 4128 meshes with the rack 4129, as the second C-shaped plate 4123 continues to move downward, the gear 4128 rotates, thereby driving the follower shaft 4125 to rotate, which in turn causes the lubricating oil at the outer end of the lubricating roller 4126 to adhere to the fixed rod 31, improving the smoothness of the outer end of the fixed rod 31.
[0027] In this embodiment, a horizontal plate 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the two fixed rods 31. An electric push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the horizontal plate 32, and the output end of the electric push rod 33 passes through the horizontal plate 32. A lower moving plate 34 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 33. An upper template 35 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower moving plate 34. The upper template 35 is set to correspond to the lower template 2.
[0028] Specifically, the upper mold component 3 is provided to enable corresponding injection molding actions with the lower mold plate 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 near the fixing rod 31 are chamfered, and the inner wall of the semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 abuts against the outer wall of the fixing rod 31.
[0030] Specifically, this ensures that the inner end of the semi-circular cleaning arc plate can smoothly clean, scrape, and remove dust from the outer end of the fixing rod 31.
[0031] In this embodiment, both the stepper motor 42 and the electric push rod 33 are electrically connected to an external power source.
[0032] Specifically, ensure that the stepper motor 42 and the electric push rod 33 can operate smoothly.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer end of the screw 43 is provided with a threaded groove, and the end of the screw 43 away from the stepper motor 42 is rotatably connected to the support plate 5 through a bearing. The end of the support plate 5 near the horizontal plate 32 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 32.
[0034] Specifically, it ensures that the screw 43 maintains stability during rotation.
[0035] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the first guide post 47 is matched with the inner diameter of the guide groove 46, and the outer diameter of the second guide post 4121 is matched with the inner diameter of the guide groove 46.
[0036] Specifically, it ensures that the first guide post 47 and the second guide post 4121 can slide smoothly within the guide groove 46, and that there is no interference between the first guide post 47 and the second guide post 4121 and the inner wall of the guide groove 46.
[0037] In this embodiment, the inclined C-shaped rod 45 is arranged in a C-shape and is twisted at a certain angle about the base 1.
[0038] Specifically, it ensures that the first guide post 47 and the second guide post 4121 can move simultaneously in the longitudinal and lateral directions within the guide groove 46.
[0039] Working Principle: When using the device, the USB connector can be injection molded via the lower mold plate 2 and upper mold assembly 3. When cleaning the outer end of the fixed rod 31, which has been used for a long time, is required, the stepper motor 42 can be powered by an external power source. The output of the stepper motor 42 drives the screw 43 to rotate, thereby driving the first C-shaped plate 49 and the second C-shaped plate 4123 to move downwards. The first guide post 47 and the second guide post 4121 slide within the guide groove 46. Since the semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 is located below the lubrication roller 4126, it first scrapes away dust from the outer end of the fixed rod 31. The lubrication roller 4126 then applies oil to the outer end of the fixed rod 31. As the semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 moves downwards, the first guide post 47 moves within the guide groove 46, and the first spring 411 is compressed. Once the inner end of the shaped plate 410 abuts against the outer end of the fixed rod 31, the semi-circular cleaning arc plate 410 remains in contact with the outer end of the fixed rod 31. During the downward movement of the lubricating roller 4126, the second guide post 4121 also moves inward during its downward movement. The second guide post 4121 drives the L-shaped support bracket 4124 to move inward, and the follower shaft 4125 moves within the slot. When the gear 4128 meshes with the rack 4129, as the second C-shaped plate 4123 continues to move downward, the gear 4128 rotates, thereby driving the follower shaft 4125 to rotate, which in turn drives the lubricating oil at the outer end of the lubricating roller 4126 to adhere to the fixed rod 31, improving the smoothness of the outer end of the fixed rod 31. This utility model enables the cleaning of the outer end of the fixed rod 31, which can be used for a long time. This cleaning device will not interfere with the mold during use, ensuring the accuracy of the mold during use.
[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
