[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] An injection mold base that facilitates mold cavity replacement, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, a lower mold 4 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, an upper mold 2 movably mounted above the lower mold 4, a mold cavity 5 movably mounted inside the lower mold 4, and several connecting mechanisms provided on the lower mold 4. The connecting mechanisms include a bearing block 18, a U-shaped frame 14, two push rods 8, and two slide rods 11. The bearing block 18 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the lower mold 4, and the two push rods 8 are movably inserted into the outer wall of the lower mold 4 and are fixedly connected to the bearing block 18. The two slide rods 11 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the lower mold 4. A telescopic connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing block 18. One end of the telescopic connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to a limit movable block 19. A return spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic connecting rod 17. Several fixing grooves 24 are opened on the outer wall of the mold cavity 5, and the fixing grooves 24 fit with the limit movable block 19.

[0032] A movable plate 10 is fitted between the two slide rods 11. A support spring is fitted on the outside of each slide rod 11. A U-shaped frame 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower mold 4. A nut 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 14. A rotating shaft 12 is inserted inside the nut 15. A turntable 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. A handle is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12.

[0033] The outer wall of the rotating shaft 12, located inside the nut 15, has a thread 1, and the inner wall of the nut 15 has a thread 2. The thread 1 and the thread 2 cooperate with each other. With the cooperation of the thread 1 and the thread 2, the rotating shaft 12 can be connected and fixed to the nut 15. Rotating the rotating shaft 12 can release the locking of the thread 1 and the thread 2, so that the fixed and rotating states of the rotating shaft 12 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0034] Two insert rods 16 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 10. Several limiting grooves are opened on the outer wall of the two push rods 8, and the limiting grooves fit with one end of the insert rod 16. Several grooves 23 are opened on the upper surface of the mold cavity 5. Insert plates 20 are inserted into the grooves 23. A buckle 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the insert plate 20. A T-shaped fixing block 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove 23. The T-shaped fixing block 21 and the buckle 22 cooperate with each other. The buckle 22 is made of elastic metal. When it is fitted onto the T-shaped fixing block 21, it can produce a certain deformation and tightly engage with the T-shaped fixing block 21 to fix the position of the insert plate 20.

[0035] In use, the upper mold 2 closes onto the lower mold 4 along the guide rod 3, and raw material is introduced between the lower mold 4 and the upper mold 2. After cooling, the injection molding operation is completed and the mold blank can be used. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0036] When it is necessary to replace the lower mold 4, first pull each insert plate 20 upward from each groove 23, and release the buckle 22 from the T-shaped fixing block 21 to release the restriction on each limiting movable block 19. Then move the mold cavity 5 upward so that the inner wall of the fixing groove 24 moves along the outer wall of the limiting movable block 19, so that the limiting movable block 19 moves into the bearing block 18 to release the restriction on the mold cavity 5. Similarly, the other limiting movable blocks 19 are moved into the bearing blocks 18. At this time, the mold cavity 5 can be removed from the lower mold 4 to complete the disassembly. Then, according to the size of the mold cavity 5 to be installed later, adjust the position of each bearing block 18 in the lower mold 4 accordingly.

[0037] When adjusting the position of the bearing block 18, simply rotate the shaft 12 by turning the handle, so that the shaft 12 rotates along the inside of the nut 15, the first thread and the second thread are unlocked, and the turntable 13 rotates 180°, releasing the obstruction on one side of the movable plate 10, so that the movable plate 10 moves away from the push rod 8 by the rebound force of the support spring, and drives the two insert rods 16 to move out of the limiting grooves on the two push rods 8, releasing the fixation of the push rods 8. At this time, the bearing block 18 can be moved by pushing the two push rods 8 to adjust the position of the bearing block 18. After adjustment, the turntable 13 is rotated in the same way to reset the movable plate 10, and drive one end of the two insert rods 16 to be inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves on the two push rods 8 respectively, thus fixing the bearing block 18 and fixing the position of the push rods 8 after adjustment.

[0038] After adjusting the positions of each push rod 8, similarly insert the mold cavity 5 to be installed into the lower mold 4, ensuring that the outer wall of the mold cavity 5 is tightly against the outer wall of each bearing block 18. During insertion, the bottom surface of the mold cavity 5 contacts the outer wall of each limiting movable block 19, which can squeeze and push the limiting movable block 19 into the bearing block 18. The telescopic connecting rod 17 shortens, and the return spring is compressed and contracted until the mold cavity 5 is fully inserted. The position of the limiting movable block 19 is directly aligned with the fixing groove 24 opened on the mold cavity 5. The return spring then rebounds. Under the action of force, the telescopic connecting rod 17 can be extended, thereby causing one end of the limiting movable block 19 to be inserted into the fixing groove 24, completing the initial fixing of the mold cavity 5. Then, the insert plate 20 is reinserted into the groove 23 and placed close to the side of the limiting movable block 19, so that the buckle 22 is engaged on the T-shaped fixing block 21 to fix the position of the insert plate 20. This can block one side of the limiting movable block 19 and prevent it from being moved out of the fixing groove 24 later, further reinforcing the limiting and fixing of the mold cavity 5, thereby completing the replacement.

[0039] The above operations facilitate the replacement of the mold cavity 5, and the position of the bearing block 18 can be adjusted according to different mold cavities 5 to be installed, so as to fix mold cavities 5 of different sizes to be installed, effectively improving the applicability of the mold blank.

[0040] Guide rods 3 are inserted into the upper surface of the upper mold 2 near the four corners, and the bottom ends of the four guide rods 3 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Two limiting posts 6 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 near both sides. A circular block 9 is movably installed inside the four limiting posts 6. A buffer spring is installed between the bottom surface of the circular block 9 and the bottom end of the limiting post 6. Two straightening posts 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper mold 2 near both sides, and the straightening posts 7 fit with the limiting posts 6.

[0041] Specifically, when the upper mold 2 is closed, each straightening column 7 moves downward and is inserted into each limiting column 6. This further corrects the position between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 4, preventing misalignment and affecting the performance. When the straightening column 7 is inserted into the limiting column 6, the circular block 9 first receives the downward pressure of the straightening column 7, causing the buffer spring to be compressed. Then, under the action of the rebound force of the buffer spring, the downward pressure is buffered, preventing the straightening column 7 from being directly pressed into the limiting column 6 and causing damage, thus extending the service life. At the same time, it has a certain buffering effect on the downward pressure when the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 4 are closed.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
