Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding equipment technology, specifically to an injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines or injection molding machines, are the main molding equipment used to produce various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molds. They are currently widely used in home appliances, medical devices, electronics, and daily necessities. Injection molding production offers advantages such as high automation, high production precision, and high efficiency. The clamping unit of an injection molding machine contains guide rails, which are crucial components that directly affect the clamping force and injection accuracy. During daily operation, injection molding machines easily generate contaminants such as plastic flash and dust particles. If these contaminants enter the guide rails, they can scratch the guide rail surfaces or even cause jamming. Therefore, dust prevention measures are necessary for the guide rails.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent ZL202022589092.5 (publication number CN215589791U), entitled "A Protective Device for Linear Guide Rails of Injection Molding Machines," discloses a device for preventing dust from entering the guide rails. This device includes a guide rail body with a track at its upper end. A first motor is housed inside the left end of the guide rail body, with a rotating shaft fixedly connected to one end of the motor. A turntable is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft, and an oil-based dustproof strip is wrapped around the outer surface of the turntable. An iron ball is attached to the end of the dustproof strip, which engages with a groove at the right end of the guide rail body. The dustproof strip ensures the cleanliness of the track by covering its surface. However, the movement of contaminants during the operation of an injection molding machine is irregular. This dustproof strip can only block contaminants moving from top to bottom, while contaminants moving in other directions can still enter the guide rails and affect their operation.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed to the internal structure of the injection molding machine. Utility Model Content

[0012] In order to facilitate observation and operation, as a preferred, the oil tank is provided with an oil inlet for oil injection and a flow meter for displaying the state of the oil tank. Among them, the operator can read the reading on the flow meter to determine the lubricating oil condition in the oil tank, and once the oil tank is in a state of oil shortage, the operator can open the oil inlet to pour lubricating oil into the oil tank.

Among them, during the operation of the injection molding machine, high-temperature molten plastic will splash out from the operation window, and the door body set in the operation window can effectively block the high-temperature splashes, thereby protecting the safety of the operator; secondly, the door body can effectively isolate the operator from the moving parts, thereby avoiding body contact.

[0015] In order to further improve the safety, as preferred, it is characterized in that: the rack is further provided with an electrical control unit, and the front baffle of the rack is provided with a sensor connected with the electrical control unit.
