A rack 18 is movably connected to the upper surface of the gear 17. A processing table 22 is welded to the upper surface of the rack 18.
[0031] When in use, the drive motor 9 is started, which drives the drive shaft 25 to rotate. With the cooperation of the second connecting rod 24 and the first connecting rod 23, the U-shaped seat 14 and the base guide rail 15 move back and forth. The threaded sleeve 16 is fitted with threads that match the lead screw 20, converting linear motion into rotary motion. This drives the gear 17 to rotate in a circle. The rack 18 and the gear 17 mesh with each other, which can drive the processing table 22 to move back and forth.

As a mechanical guiding component, the machining table guide rail 19 ensures that the machining table 22 moves along a forward and backward trajectory, preventing shaking during the operation of the drive device and improving machining accuracy and stability.
[0033] A motor support plate 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the control box 1 adjacent to the drive motor 9. The motor support plate 10 can prevent displacement of the drive motor 9 due to vibration during operation, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0039] The implementation principle of the adjustable multi-cavity quick switching device for injection molds in this application is as follows:

The machine has a short downtime, enabling rapid switching of the injection mold cavity 2 without repeated switching and adjustment of the injection mold, thus improving overall processing efficiency. Hydraulic cylinder 5 pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which enters the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through the directional valve. The piston moves to the right under pressure, causing the telescopic rod 6 to extend. When the hydraulic fluid enters the rod chamber, it retracts the telescopic rod 6, closing the injection mold cavity 2. This facilitates adjustment of injection molds of different heights and provides strong adaptability.
