Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to a linkage locking structure for improving injection mold processes. Background Technology

[0002] The reference patent title is: An Injection Mold for Injection Molded Parts (Authorization Announcement No.: CN222223372U, Authorization Announcement Date: 2024.12.24). It includes a base plate, a lower mold fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a mold groove formed on the top of the lower mold, two fixed pillars symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the two fixed pillars, an electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the top of the top plate, a lifting plate fixedly connected to the driving end of the electric telescopic rod through the top of the top plate, and an upper mold fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. The lifting assembly includes a lifting plate movably fitted to the bottom of the mold groove, and a lifting mechanism slidably inserted into the bottom of the mold groove fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. After the injection molded part is formed, the upward movement of the driving end of the electric telescopic rod can automatically move the lifting plate upward, thus ejecting the injection molded part from the lower mold, achieving rapid removal and unloading of the injection molded part and improving work efficiency.

[0003] Based on the above-mentioned documents: In the field of injection molds, the locking effect after mold closing directly affects product quality. However, most traditional injection molds do not have a locking structure. The few injection molds with locking structures have problems with insufficient single-point locking force and poor linkage. Common locking structures are mostly single-point or decentralized locking, which leads to uneven force on the mold parting surface, easily producing flash and burr defects. In addition, multiple locking points need to be operated separately, which is time-consuming and difficult to ensure synchronization, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, this utility model provides a linkage locking structure to improve the injection mold process. Utility Model Content

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention provides a linkage locking structure to improve the injection mold process. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This linkage locking structure improves the injection mold process. By setting up a locking mechanism, the upper mold and lower mold are linked and locked together by the lifting component and the linkage component. This maintains the stability of the upper and lower molds after assembly, making the upper and lower molds more firmly locked. This ensures that the mold parting surface fits tightly during high-pressure injection molding, thereby improving the injection quality of the mold.

[0016] 2. This improved injection mold process features a linkage locking structure. By rotating the control block at one end of the bidirectional lead screw, the moving plates on both sides slide synchronously to opposite sides. This causes the moving plates to slide on the surface of the positioning rod, and the sliding of the moving plates causes the fixing blocks to slide synchronously, allowing the fixing blocks to slide into the fixing grooves opened on the surface of the assembly block. This enables the rapid installation and locking of the lower mold. By setting up fixing components and rotating the bidirectional lead screw, multiple sets of fixing blocks and fixing grooves can be quickly assembled and disassembled. This allows for rapid installation and disassembly of the lower mold, facilitating maintenance and replacement, and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] An improved linkage locking structure for injection mold processes includes a base 1, with an assembly groove 2 on the top of the base 1.

[0029] The bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting seat 813 is provided with a limiting groove for the locking block 815 to slide.

[0030] In this embodiment, the linkage assembly 82 includes a linkage rod 821 installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 6.

[0032] The connecting block 9 has a groove inside that allows the limiting block 817 to slide and is adapted to it.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 5 includes a support rod 51 installed on the top of the base 1. A support plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 51, and a lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 52.

[0036] With the locking mechanism 8 in place, the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 4 are locked together by the linkage component 82 and the locking component 81 under the drive of the lifting component 5. This maintains the stability of the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 4 after assembly, making the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 4 more firmly locked, ensuring that the mold parting surface fits tightly during high-pressure injection molding, thereby improving the injection molding quality of the mold.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fixing component 3 includes a bidirectional lead screw 31 rotatably installed inside the base 1. A movable plate 32 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 31. A positioning rod 33 is slidably connected inside the movable plate 32. Both ends of the positioning rod 33 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1. A fixing block 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 32.

The inner surface of the fixing groove 11 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixing block 34.

[0041] By setting a fixing component 3 and rotating the bidirectional lead screw 31, multiple sets of fixing blocks 34 and fixing grooves 11 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, thereby enabling the rapid installation and disassembly of the lower mold 4, facilitating maintenance and replacement, and improving work efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] Before operation, the upper mold 7 is first installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 6 using bolts. The assembly block 10 at the bottom of the lower mold 4 is placed in the assembly groove 2. Then, by rotating the control block at one end of the double-acting screw 31, the moving plates 32 on both sides slide synchronously to opposite sides, causing the moving plates 32 to slide on the surface of the positioning rod 33. The sliding of the moving plates 32 will drive the fixing block 34 to slide synchronously, causing the fixing block 34 to slide into the fixing groove 11 opened on the surface of the assembly block 10, thereby achieving quick installation and locking of the lower mold 4. Subsequently, by activating the lifting cylinder 53, the lifting plate 6, the upper mold 7, and the linkage assembly 82 are driven to slide synchronously downward, causing the lifting plate 6 to slide on the surface of the support rod 51. As the lifting plate 6, the upper mold 7, and the linkage assembly 82 slide, the linkage rod 821 will pass through the guide ring 812 and insert into the locking plate 811. At this time, the linkage block 822 at the bottom of the linkage rod 821 will press the locking blocks 815 on both sides, causing the locking rods 815 on both sides to lock. 4. The positioning block slides synchronously to the opposite side, compressing the locking spring 816. When the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 4 are closed, the linkage block 822 slides to the slots on the opposite sides of the locking blocks 815. At this time, the locking spring 816 begins to reset, causing the locking rods 814 and the locking blocks 815 on both sides to slide synchronously to the opposite side. This allows the locking blocks 815 to fully fit against the surfaces of the linkage rods 821 and the linkage block 822, while the upper surface of the linkage block 822 will then... The slots on opposite sides of the locking blocks 815 on both sides remain engaged, locking the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 4. During demolding, first pull the limit blocks 817 on both sides to make the limit blocks 817 slide out of the connecting block 9. During this process, the locking rod 814 and the locking block 815 will slide synchronously, causing the locking rod 814 and the locking block 815 to separate from the surface of the linkage block 822. Then rotate the limit block 817 to make it fit against the outer surface of the connecting block 9. After that, the demolding operation can be achieved.
