This utility model integrates the power part into the lower mold 6, reducing the weight of the tail plate 1 and making the whole volume more space-saving. The lead screw 9 is driven by a servo motor 5. The cross movable plate 10 ensures the accuracy of the up and down movement through the support of the support guide column 4 and the tube position. The up and down movement of the cross movable plate 10 drives the small hinge 12, short hinge 11, and long hinge 14 to perform cycloidal motion, which plays a major role in opening and closing the mold. It covers a wide range of positions and can be applied to 20-200T electric vertical injection molding machines.
[0022] A servo motor 5 is installed at one end of the bottom of the lower mold 6. The output end of the servo motor 5 is connected to the lead screw 9 through a transmission mechanism. When the servo motor 5 works, it is driven by the transmission mechanism to rotate the lead screw 9.
