Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection blow molding machines, specifically a mold locking mechanism for injection blow molding machines. Background Technology
[0002] Injection blow molding machines process tubular thermoplastic preforms, which are still in a softened state after being extruded from an extruder, into a molding die. Compressed air is then introduced, and the pressure of the air causes the preform to deform along the die cavity, thereby blowing it into a hollow product with a short neck. Injection blow molding is the third most commonly used plastic processing method and also one of the fastest-growing plastic molding methods. Compared with injection molding, it has a lower equipment cost, stronger adaptability, better moldability, and can mold products with complex undulating curves.
[0003] The existing mold-locking mechanism of injection blow molding machine still has certain drawbacks in use. The traditional mold-locking mechanism is relatively complex. Under long-term operation, the mechanism will generate a certain vibration, which will cause the connection position inside the mold-locking mechanism to loosen. This not only affects the firmness of the locking, but also affects the stability of the operation of the mold-locking mechanism. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold-locking mechanism for an injection blow molding machine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, that the traditional mold-locking mechanism has a relatively complex mold-locking method, and that the mechanism will generate a certain vibration under long-term operation, which will cause the connection position inside the mold-locking mechanism to loosen, affecting not only the locking firmness, but also the stability of the mold-locking mechanism operation.

A balance push block 7 is provided at the position, and locking connecting rods 5 are provided on both sides of the balance push block 7. An upper limit plate 6 is provided above the balance push block 7, and a cylinder 9 is provided at the middle position of the top of the mold clamping frame 1. The fixed guide post 2 is used to guide and position the moving mold base 14 to move up and down. The fixed mold base 16 is used to install and fix the fixed mold 17. The lower limit plate 22 is used to limit and position the moving mold base 14 to move up. The fixed post 21 is used to install and fix the buffer pad 19. The buffer pad 19 is used to buffer the locking connecting rod 5. The cooperation between the lower support rod 4, the upper support rod 3 and the locking connecting rod 5 is used to lock the closing position of the moving mold 15. The balance push block 7 is used to adjust the balanced movement of the locking connecting rod 5. The upper limit plate 6 is used to limit and position the retracted position of the locking connecting rod 5.
[0021] The upper support rod 3 and the lower support rod 4 are rotatably connected to the locking link 5 via pins. The upper support rod 3 and the lower support rod 4 are of the same length. The rotatable connection allows the upper support rod 3 and the lower support rod 4 to move in coordination with the locking link 5. The upper end of the locking link 5 is rotatably connected to the balance push block 7 via a pin. The rotatable connection allows the upper end of the locking link 5 to operate in coordination with the balance push block 7. The two sides of the top surface of the upper limit plate 6 are connected to the mold clamping frame 1 via positioning rods 8. The bottom end of the positioning rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper limit plate 6 via a thread, and the positioning rod 8 is slidably connected to the mold clamping frame 1. The positioning rod 8 is used to guide and position the upper limit plate 6 to move up and down.
[0022] The lower limit plate 22 is connected to the fixed guide post 2 via a hanger 12. Both ends of the hanger 12 are connected to the fixed guide post 2 via mounting sleeves 13, and the mounting sleeves 13 are fixedly connected to the fixed guide post 2 via fixing screws 18. The hanger 12 is used to suspend and install the lower limit plate 22.
[0023] The buffer pad 19 is connected to the fixing post 21 by a spring 20, and there are a total of four fixing posts 21. The spring 20 can make the buffer pad 19 have a certain degree of elasticity, so that it has a good buffering effect.
[0024] Working principle: During use, the blank is placed between the fixed mold 17 and the moving mold 15. The cylinder 9 drives the upper limit plate 6 to move downward, pushing the balance push block 7 downward. The locking rod 5 pushes the upper support rod 3 and the lower support rod 4 to both sides, so that the upper support rod 3 and the lower support rod 4 are connected in a straight line, thereby adjusting the moving mold base 14 downward, so that the fixed mold 17 and the moving mold 15 are closed. At the same time, the buffer rubber pad 19 buffers the force of the movement of the locking rod 5, so that the locking rod 5 is smoothly adjusted to the mold locking position. Then, compressed air is introduced into the blank to make it air-pressurized.
