Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, specifically a two-platen mold clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to traditional three-platen injection molding machines, platen injection molding machines eliminate the tail plate in the mold clamping device, applying the clamping force directly to the two platens that fix the mold. This saves a significant amount of material and floor space, reducing the cost of the injection molding machine.

[0003] In a two-platen injection molding machine, the connection between the moving platen and the fixed platen is achieved by a mold docking mechanism that locks the two plates together. However, the moving platen in the existing mold docking mechanism is not convenient for operators to quickly replace. Furthermore, when the molded plastic product is ejected from the moving platen, a guide rod is installed in the mold docking mechanism to limit the ejection structure. Due to the large number of ejections, the guide rod is prone to wear, which in turn affects the service life of the ejection mechanism.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] 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.

[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-12This utility model provides a technical solution: a two-plate mold closing mechanism, including a fixed plate 1, a guide rod 2 on the fixed plate 1, a fixed template 3 fixedly installed at one end of the guide rod 2, a limit plate 4 on one side of the fixed plate 1, the limit plate 4 and the guide rod 2 being fixedly connected to each other, an ejection cylinder 5 on one side of the fixed plate 1, a snap-fit ​​plate 6 on one end of the ejection cylinder 5, a mold docking mechanism 8 connected to one end of the snap-fit ​​plate 6 via a quick-release assembly 7, a guide rod 9 fixedly installed on one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 6, the mold docking mechanism 8 being slidably sleeved on the guide rod 9, the mold docking mechanism 8 including an annular plate 806, an oil injection plate 801 and a moving template 802, the annular plate 806 being fitted to one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 6, the oil injection plate 801 being fitted to one side of the annular plate 806, the moving template 802 being sleeved on one end of the guide rod 9, an oil injection assembly 16 fixedly installed on the guide rod 2, the oil injection assembly 16 being used to lubricate the guide rod 9 inserted in the oil injection plate 801.

[0031] Example 2: As Figure 1 As shown, the ejector cylinders 5 are distributed on one side of the fixed plate 1, and the ejector cylinders 5 and the fixed plate 1 are fixedly connected to each other. The output end of the ejector cylinder 5 passes through the limiting plate 4. A top block 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side surface of the limiting plate 4. An annular groove 11 is opened inside one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 6. One end of the annular plate 806 is inserted into the annular groove 11 so that the annular structure at one end of the snap-fit ​​plate 6 can accurately insert one end of the annular plate 806 into the annular groove 11.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a spring groove 12 is circumferentially formed on the outer wall of one end of the annular plate 806. The quick-release assembly 7 includes a snap-fit ​​spring 701, which is fixedly installed in the spring groove 12. A rod 702 is fixedly installed on one end of the snap-fit ​​spring 701. Slots 703 are evenly formed on the inner wall of the annular groove 11. The rod 702 is inserted into the slot 703. The quick-release assembly 7 also includes a rotating ring 704, which is rotatably snapped into the annular plate 806. A linkage rope 705 is fixedly installed on one end of the rod 702. One end of the linkage rope 705 is attached to the snap-fit ​​spring. The spring 701 passes through one end of the spring groove 12 along its axial direction and is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 704. Through the linkage rope 705, the snap-fit ​​spring 701 and the insert rod 702 provided on the rotating ring 704, the insert rod 702 can be retracted into the spring groove 12 when the rotating ring 704 is rotated. Then, the annular plate 806 is inserted into the annular groove 11, and the rotating ring 704 is reversed. At this time, under the elastic force of the snap-fit ​​spring 701, the insert rod 702 is pushed into the slot 703 in the snap-fit ​​plate 6, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the annular plate 806.

[0033] Example 4: Figure 5As shown, the inner ring of the rotating ring 704 has a positioning groove 706 circumferentially formed, and the annular plate 806 has symmetrically distributed fixing grooves 707 inside. A fixing spring 708 is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 707, and a positioning conical rod 709 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing spring 708. One end of the positioning conical rod 709 is slidably engaged with the positioning groove 706. A rotating rod 710 is fixedly installed on the annular plate 806. Through the fixing spring 708 and the positioning conical rod 709 on the rotating ring 704, the positioning conical rod 709 can be slidably engaged with the positioning groove 706 after the rotating ring 704 rotates, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating ring 704. As a result, when the rotating ring 704 rotates and the linkage rope 705 is wrapped around the rotating ring 704, the insertion rod 702 disengages from the slot 703, thereby releasing the connection between the annular groove 11 and the annular plate 806.

[0034] Example 4: Figure 4 As shown, the oil injection plate 801 has a threaded groove 13, and a push rod 14 is rotatably engaged in the threaded groove 13. Guide holes 15 are symmetrically provided on the oil injection plate 801. One end of the guide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 806 along the guide hole 15. The mold docking mechanism 8 also includes a push rod 803, which is fixedly installed on one side surface of the oil injection plate 801. A return spring 804 is sleeved on the push rod 803. One end of the return spring 804 is fixedly connected to the oil injection plate 801, and the other end is fixedly connected to the moving template 802. The free end of the push rod 803 passes through the moving template 802. It should be noted that limit rods 805 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the annular plate 806. One end of the limit rod 805 passes through the fixed template 3. The working principle of the docking mechanism 8 is that the ejector cylinder 5 pushes the snap-fit ​​plate 6 to move. At this time, the mold docking mechanism 8 begins to move towards the fixed template 3. When the moving template 802 in the mold docking mechanism 8 docks with the fixed template 3, the injection molding machine injects plastic into the moving template 802 and the fixed template 3. Then, by controlling the ejector cylinder 5 to retract, the mold docking mechanism 8 can move towards the limiting plate 4. When the ejector rod 14 on the annular plate 806 in the mold docking mechanism 8 abuts against the ejector block 10 on the limiting plate 4, the oil injection plate 801 begins to move towards the fixed template 3, which causes the push rod 803 to push the molded plastic on the moving template 802 to detach from the moving template 802. The elastic force of the return spring 804 can make the oil injection plate 801 return to its original position.

[0035] Example 4: Figure 7As shown, the oil injection assembly 16 includes an oil injection hole 1601 and an oil return hole 1602. One end of the oil injection hole 1601 is connected to the upper wall of the guide hole 15, and one end of the oil return hole 1602 is connected to the lower wall of the guide hole 15. The other end of the oil injection hole 1601 is connected to an oil injection pipe 1603, and the other end of the oil return hole 1602 is connected to an oil return pipe 1604. A support plate 1605 is fixedly installed on the guide rod 2, and an oil injection tank 1606 is fixedly installed on the support plate 1605. The oil injection pipe 1603 and the oil return pipe 1604 are respectively connected to the oil injection tank 1606 to facilitate the oil injection plate 801 in... When the guide rod 9 slides, the oil pump in the oil tank 1606 injects the lubricating oil into the oil injection hole 1601 above the guide hole 15 through the oil injection pipe 1603, thereby achieving real-time lubrication of the guide rod 9. The lubricating oil dripping into the return oil hole 1602 can enter the oil tank 1606 along the return oil pipe 1604. The oil pump outlet is connected to the oil injection pipe 1603, and the oil pump inlet is connected to the oil tank 1606, thereby achieving cyclic oil injection of the guide rod 2.
