[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a mold closing drive mechanism for injection molds, comprising a first fixed frame 1, a second fixed frame 2, and a movable base 3. The first fixed frame 1 is used to fix the fixed mold of the mold, and the movable base 3 is used to fix the movable mold of the mold. Both the first fixed frame 1 and the second fixed frame 2 are used to fix the entire injection mold in a set position. The first fixed frame 1 and the second fixed frame 2 are fixed to the production station using bolts. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the second fixed frame 2 using a bolt connection. A drive assembly is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 5, and a transmission assembly 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 5. The drive assembly includes a drive motor, an adjusting plate 13, a drive wheel 8, and a transmission belt 12. The adjusting plate 13 is used to fix the drive wheel 8 and the drive motor to the mounting plate 5. The drive motor is installed on the back of the adjusting plate 13, and the drive wheel 8 is installed on the front of the adjusting plate 13. The drive motor and the drive wheel 8 are connected by a coupling. The transmission assembly 7 includes... The transmission wheel 15 and the lead screw seat 16 are installed inside the transmission wheel 15 and fixed with bolts. The lead screw seat 16 is embedded inside the mounting plate 5 and connected with bearings, so that the entire transmission assembly 7 can rotate smoothly. A lifting kit 6 is provided between the moving seat 3 and the mounting plate 5. The lifting kit 6 includes a push rod 18 and a lead screw 17. The push rod 18 and the lead screw 17 are fixedly connected, and the connection between the two is at the end. The lead screw 17 passes through the lead screw seat 16 and is threaded to the lead screw seat 16. The push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the moving seat 3. At the same time, the drive wheel 8 and the transmission wheel 15 are both engaged with the transmission belt 12. When the drive wheel 8 is driven to rotate by the drive motor, the drive wheel 8 will drive the transmission wheel 15 and the lead screw seat 16 to rotate through the transmission belt 12. The rotation of the lead screw seat 16 realizes the linear movement of the lead screw 17 and the push rod 18. The push rod 18 will push the moving seat 3 to move linearly, thereby realizing the mold opening and closing actions.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Limiting posts 4 are fixedly connected between the first fixed frame 1 and the second fixed frame 2. The two ends of the limiting posts 4 are fixed to the first fixed frame 1 and the second fixed frame 2 respectively by bolt flanges. There are four limiting posts 4, and the four limiting posts 4 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the moving seat 3. The moving seat 3 and the four limiting posts 4 are all in close sliding connection.

[0039] The surfaces of the four limit posts 4 are all smooth and made of high-strength alloy material. The moving seat 3 and the limit posts 4 can slide against each other through hard friction without causing wear to the limit posts 4. Furthermore, the contact position between the moving seat 3 and the limit posts 4 can be equipped with sliding components, including rollers and sleeves, according to the actual production needs on site.

[0040] Please see Figure 5 One end of the push rod 18 is equipped with a connector 19. The moving seat 3 is connected to the push rod 18 through the connector 19. Both the connector 19 and the lead screw 17 are adjustablely and fixedly connected to the push rod 18. When the push rod 18 is connected to the connector 19, it will be inserted into the interior of the connector 19. The connector 19 is a sleeve structure with an expandable port. The depth of the push rod 18 inserted into the connector 19 can be finely adjusted. Then, the port of the connector 19 is closed laterally using bolts and nuts to fix the connector 19 to the push rod 18. When the lead screw 17 is connected to the push rod 18, the lead screw 17 will be inserted into the port of the push rod 18. The insertion depth of the lead screw 17 can also be adjusted. Then, the lead screw 17 is fixed by pressing it against the side of the port of the push rod 18 using bolts.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A connecting column 10 is fixedly installed on the moving seat 3. A clamping mechanism 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the second fixed frame 2 away from the mounting plate 5. The clamping mechanism 11 is engaged with the connecting column 10. The connecting column 10 includes a cylindrical column and a threaded column. The cylindrical column is fixedly connected to the moving seat 3 by bolts. The cylindrical column and the threaded column are an integral structure. The threaded column passes through the second fixed frame 2 and the mounting plate 5. A sleeve is provided inside the second fixed frame 2 to fit against the threaded column. When the moving seat 3 moves linearly, the threaded column slides and rubs against the sleeve to ensure the stability of the moving seat 3 and the connecting column 10. The clamping mechanism 11 includes a fixed frame, a clamping cylinder, and two sets of clamping arms with internal threaded structures. A transmission assembly 7 is connected between the clamping cylinder and the two sets of clamping arms. The fixing frame is used to fix the clamping cylinder to the second fixing frame 2. The transmission assembly 7 includes two scissor legs that can move in opposite directions and a connecting leg that connects to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder moves in a cross motion by pushing and pulling the scissor legs through the connecting leg, thereby pushing and pulling the two sets of clamping arms to close and open. When the two sets of clamping arms are in contact with the threaded column, they will fix the connecting column 10, preventing it from moving linearly, thereby fixing the position of the moving seat 3. During mold closing and injection molding, it ensures that the fixed mold and the moving mold remain closed. The pressure during injection molding will be borne by the connecting column 10, avoiding excessive pressure on the lifting kit 6.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 The mounting plate 5 is equipped with a tension assembly 9, which includes a protective plate and three limiting pulleys 14. The protective plate and the second fixed frame 2 are rotatably connected to the limiting pulleys 14. The side of the transmission belt 12 without teeth will be in contact with the limiting pulleys 14, thereby using the three limiting pulleys 14 to stretch the transmission belt 12, so that the transmission belt 12 is tightened by force, improving transmission efficiency and stability.

[0043] Working principle: In use, the fixed mold is fixedly installed on the first fixed frame 1, and the moving mold is installed on the moving base 3, so that the fixed mold and the moving mold are set opposite to each other. When the two sets of molds need to be closed, the drive motor drives the drive wheel 8 to rotate. The drive wheel 8 drives the drive wheel 15 to rotate through the transmission belt 12. The drive wheel 15 is directly connected and fixed to the lead screw seat 16, so the drive wheel 15 drives the lead screw seat 16 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw seat 16 drives the lead screw 17 to move linearly. The lead screw 17 pushes the moving base through the ejector rod 18. 3 moves to one side of the first fixed frame 1, and the lifting assembly 6 formed by the combination of lead screw 17 and push rod 18 is provided in two sets. The transmission assembly 7 that combines the stroke of transmission wheel 15 and lead screw seat 16 is also provided in two sets. Both are powered by transmission belt 12, thereby driving the two sets of lifting assemblies 6 to move in the same direction at the same time, so that the moving mold moves stably closer to the fixed mold, so that the two sets of molds close. After the molds are closed, the moving seat 3 will be fixed by the clamping mechanism 11 and the connecting column 10, so that the moving seat 3 and the moving mold remain stable.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
