Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blow molding production equipment, specifically to a multi-station blow molding mold closing mechanism and a blow molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A blow molding machine is a device that heats granular plastic to form a preform tube, and then blows the plastic into a mold cavity of a certain shape using the air force of the machine, thereby making a product.

[0003] The mold clamping mechanism, a crucial component of blow molding machines, is responsible for closing and maintaining close contact between the two mold plates to ensure uniform molding of the plastic within the mold cavity. Existing mold clamping mechanisms typically employ multiple drive sources and connection structures to drive the two mold plates. For example, multiple hydraulic cylinders or motors can be used to drive each mold plate separately to achieve the mold clamping action. Furthermore, a complex control system is required to coordinate the actions of multiple drive sources to ensure synchronous operation. This approach increases the overall size and structural complexity of the mold clamping mechanism, impacting debugging and production efficiency. The use of multiple drive sources also increases energy consumption and the failure rate, raising production and maintenance costs. Moreover, existing mold clamping mechanisms can only perform mold clamping processing on one set of mold plates at a time, failing to achieve simultaneous mold clamping processing on multiple sets of mold plates, further hindering production efficiency.

[0004] To ensure production efficiency, existing blow molding machines all use robotic arms to handle material and product loading and unloading. However, existing blow molding machines still have the following problems: When the robotic arms of existing blow molding machines transport preform materials to the mold closing mechanism, they need to first remove the product from the mold closing mechanism and then return to the loading point to clamp and transport the preform materials to the mold closing mechanism for blow molding. The transport continuity is poor, the transport time is long, and it affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content
