Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frame technology, specifically to a hardware frame for an injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] As the core load-bearing structure of injection molding equipment, the hardware frame of an injection molding machine must be designed to balance strength, stability, and functionality. Traditionally, frames are assembled using welding or bolting methods. For example, the main frame is formed by welding uprights and beams, and then the table and side panels are fastened one by one with bolts. The overall structure relies on manual positioning and connection of each component.

[0003] However, the assembly efficiency and flexibility of such racks are low, mainly due to the following reasons: First, the welded frame needs to be prefabricated, making on-site adjustments difficult, and welding thermal deformation can easily lead to misalignment errors in components; second, bolted connections require multi-station collaborative operations, such as high-precision alignment of bolt holes on the uprights and crossbeams, requiring repeated adjustments and tightening one by one during installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; third, fixing the side panels to the frame usually requires additional clamps or complex clips, resulting in cumbersome assembly and disassembly steps. These problems make traditional racks suffer from complex processes, strong tool dependence, and low fault tolerance during assembly, which is particularly unfavorable for rapid equipment installation and maintenance.

The side of the upright has a shaft insertion hole that matches the rotating shaft and two limiting holes that match the locking blocks. The limiting holes are connected to the shaft insertion hole and are horizontally arranged on both sides of the shaft insertion hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the groove includes a central groove and two snap-fit ​​grooves that are interconnected. The snap-fit ​​grooves are located on two non-opposite surfaces of the central groove. The T-shaped snap-fit ​​block is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove and fixed. A through groove for accommodating the end of the T-shaped snap-fit ​​block is provided between the snap-fit ​​groove and the outer side of the upright. The protrusion is snapped into the central groove and fixed.

[0009] Furthermore, the two ends of the side panel are closely attached to the outer side of the adjacent upright, and the side panel is provided with several doors and holes for heat dissipation.

[0010] Furthermore, the processing table is provided with a mold mounting station for installing injection molds, and an air hole communicating with the inside of the machine frame is opened in the middle of the mold mounting station.

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.

[0032] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a hardware frame for an injection molding machine, which aims to provide a frame with a stable structure and easy assembly, thereby reducing the time spent on frame assembly and lowering costs.

[0033] The injection molding machine frame in this embodiment mainly comprises three parts: a processing table 1, a machine frame 2, and side panels 3. The processing table 1, serving as the main load-bearing surface for injection molding operations, is securely mounted on top of the machine frame 2. The machine frame 2 forms the skeleton of the entire frame, featuring a unique design consisting of four vertically arranged uprights 201, four lower beams 202 connected to the lower part of the uprights, and four upper beams 203 connected to the top of the uprights. This design not only enhances the overall stability of the frame but also facilitates subsequent assembly and maintenance. The side panels 3 are mounted on the sides of the machine frame 2 and are secured by the lower beams 202 and upper beams 203.

[0034] Both ends of the lower beam 202 can be pivotally inserted into two adjacent uprights 201 via a rotating shaft 221, achieving a flexible connection between the lower beam and the uprights. A locking block 222 is provided on the rotating shaft 221, which can be rotatably locked onto the corresponding upright 201, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the lower beam 202 and the upright 201. In this embodiment, two locking blocks 222 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 221, to further enhance the stability of the connection. The upright 201 has a shaft insertion hole 212 matching the rotating shaft 221 and two limiting insertion holes 213 matching the locking blocks 222 on its side. The limiting insertion holes 213 communicate with the shaft insertion holes 212 and are horizontally arranged on both sides of the shaft insertion holes 212, facilitating the rotational locking operation of the locking blocks 222.

[0035] The top of the upright 201 has a downwardly recessed groove 211 for fixing to both ends of the upper beam 203 and the processing table 1. Both ends of the upper beam 203 have T-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks 231, which can be snapped into the corresponding grooves 211 for fixation. The groove 211 is designed to include a central groove 250 and two snap-fit ​​grooves 251 that are interconnected.
