An injection mechanism is located on one side of the movable frame. A gas collecting head is located on the upper side wall of the fixed frame, and a fan is located on the lower side wall of the fixed frame. A purifier is located at the upper end of the fixed frame, and the gas collecting head is connected to the purifier. Toxic fumes generated after injection molding are contained within the molding cavity. The fan blows the toxic fumes through the gas collecting head into the purifier for purification before discharge, preventing air pollution in the injection molding area and ensuring the health of the operators.

[0004] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation: During the operation of an injection molding machine, hot melt material is injected into the mold and cooled to form a product. Existing injection molding machines generally adopt a single mold opening design, and the next cycle can only be carried out after demolding and cooling, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an injection molding machine for the production and processing of EVA slippers, so as to solve the problem that the existing injection molding machines in the above-mentioned background art generally adopt a single mold opening design, and need to wait for demolding and cooling before the next cycle can be carried out, resulting in low efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an injection molding machine for EVA slipper production and processing, including a base, wherein symmetrically distributed fixing plates are fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a mold structure is slidably installed on the top of the base and between the two fixing plates;

[0007] The mold structure includes a sliding mold, a central mold, and a top mold. Sliding rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the central mold and the top mold. The end of the central mold is hinged to the end of the sliding mold, and the end of the top mold is hinged to the end of the central mold. The fixed plate has two arc-shaped guide grooves inside, and the sliding rods are slidably connected inside the guide grooves.

[0008] Preferably, a first forming cavity is formed between the sliding mold and the central mold, and a second forming cavity is formed between the central mold and the top mold, wherein the first forming cavity and the second forming cavity are interconnected.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the base is fixedly connected to two parallel guide rails, the rear end of the base is provided with a filling port, and the front end of the base is provided with a threaded hole.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the sliding mold is provided with two parallel connecting grooves, and the sliding mold slides in cooperation with the guide rail through the connecting grooves.

[0011] Preferably, a U-shaped pull rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the sliding mold, and an installation sleeve is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod away from the sliding mold. A self-tightening bolt is slidably connected inside the installation sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the self-tightening bolt passes through the mounting sleeve and is threaded into the threaded hole, and the pull rod is slidably connected to the inside of the front end of the base.

[0013] Preferably, the center mold and the top mold are each provided with an injection port aligned with the injection port at the middle of their rear ends. The center mold and the top mold are provided with heat dissipation pipes inside, and the two ends of the heat dissipation pipes are respectively connected to connectors fixedly set on one side of the center mold and the top mold.

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides the following technical solution: an injection molding machine for EVA slipper production and processing, including a base 1, with symmetrically distributed fixing plates 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a mold structure slidably installed between the top of the base 1 and the two fixing plates 2; the mold structure includes a sliding mold 3, a central mold 4, and a top mold 5, with sliding rods 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the central mold 4 and the top mold 5, the end of the central mold 4 hinged to the end of the sliding mold 3, and the end of the top mold 5 hinged to the end of the central mold 4, the fixing plates 2 having two arc-shaped guide grooves 7 inside, and the sliding rods 6 slidably connected inside the guide grooves 7; a first molding cavity is formed between the sliding mold 3 and the central mold 4, and a second molding cavity is formed between the central mold 4 and the top mold 5, the first molding cavity and the second molding cavity being interconnected; two parallel guide rails 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the base 1... A filling port 9 is provided in the middle of the rear end, and a threaded hole 10 is provided in the middle of the front end of the base 1. The bottom of the sliding mold 3 is provided with two parallel connecting grooves 11, and the sliding mold 3 slides with the guide rail 8 through the connecting grooves 11. A U-shaped pull rod 12 is fixedly connected to the front side of the sliding mold 3. An installation sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 12 away from the sliding mold 3. A self-tightening bolt 14 is slidably connected inside the installation sleeve 13. The self-tightening bolt 14 passes through the installation sleeve 13 and is threaded into the threaded hole 10. The pull rod 12 is slidably connected to the front end of the base 1. The middle of the rear end of the center mold 4 and the top mold 5 is provided with an injection port 15 aligned with the filling port 9. The center mold 4 and the top mold 5 are provided with heat dissipation pipes, and the two ends of the heat dissipation pipes are respectively connected to a connector 16 fixedly set on one side of the center mold 4 and the top mold 5. The front side of the center mold 4 and the sliding mold 3 is provided with an exhaust groove 17.

[0026] The EVA slipper injection molding device operates based on the linkage structure of the sliding mold 3, the central mold 4, and the top mold 5, in conjunction with the guide groove 7 of the fixed plate 2 and the guide rail 8 of the base 1. Initially, the sliding mold 3, the central mold 4, and the top mold 5 are locked to the threaded hole 10 at the front end of the base 1 by self-tightening bolts 14, tightly fitting against the rear end of the base 1 to form two connected molding cavities: the first molding cavity between the sliding mold 3 and the central mold 4 is used to shape the slipper sole, while the second molding cavity between the central mold 4 and the top mold 5 shapes the upper or bevel. At this time, the injection port 15 at the rear end of the central mold 4 and the top mold 5 is precisely aligned with the injection port 9 of the base 1, providing a channel for injection molding. When the high-temperature molten EVA material is injected into the cavity through the injection port 9, the heat dissipation pipes inside the central mold 4 and the top mold 5 are connected to an external cooling water circulation system through connectors 16, and the exhaust groove 17 discharges gas, ensuring rapid and uniform filling and cooling and solidification of the material.

[0027] After injection molding is completed, the operator rotates the self-tightening bolt 14 counterclockwise to disengage it from the threaded hole 10, and then pulls the pull rod 12 to move the sliding mold 3 forward along the guide rail 8. Since the sliding rods 6 on both sides of the central mold 4 and the top mold 5 are embedded in the arc-shaped guide grooves 7 of the fixed plate 2, the linear motion of the sliding mold 3 is transformed into a composite motion of the mold assembly through the damping cooperation of the sliding rods 6 and the guide grooves 7. Specifically, when the sliding mold 3 moves forward, the central mold 4 rotates upward around its hinge point with the sliding mold 3, and the two unfold to a 45° angle; simultaneously, the top mold 5, driven by the sliding rods 6 sliding along the arc at the end of the guide groove 7, further rotates to a vertical position. This step-by-step mold opening action completely exposes the molded slipper to the outside of the central mold 4, allowing the operator to directly remove the part without the need for a traditional ejection mechanism.

[0028] After demolding, the pull rod 12 is pulled in the opposite direction to drive the sliding mold 3 to reset along the guide rail 8. At this time, the sliding rod 6 slides in the opposite direction along the guide groove 7, forcing the center mold 4 and the top mold 5 to rotate and retract in sequence. When the sliding mold 3 slides back to its initial position through the connecting groove 11 and the guide rail 8, the self-tightening bolt 14 in the mounting sleeve 13 is screwed back into the threaded hole 10, locking the mold assembly through the thread preload. This locking action not only fixes the position of the sliding mold 3, but also generates additional clamping force on the mating surface of the injection port 15 and the injection port 9, preventing molten material leakage during high-pressure injection molding.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
