[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the film fixture 100° at one angle; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the film fixture 100 from another angle; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the two circular bottom pieces 60 in the film fixture 100 in a split state; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the split structure of the film fixture 100.

[0021] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a film fixture 100, including a handle 10, a push rod 20, and two containers 30; the two containers 30 are connected as one unit, and each of the two containers 30 has a groove 301 for accommodating film at its front, and each of the grooves 301 of the two containers 30 has a first air hole 302. Each of the two containers 30 has an air supply column 50 at its rear, and each of the air supply columns 50 at the rear of the two containers 30 is connected to an air pump. The air supply columns 50 at the rear of the two containers 30 are respectively connected to the first air holes 302 in the grooves 301 of the two containers 30. The air vent 302 is connected, and the handle 10 is fixedly installed at the rear of the two containers 30. Each of the two containers 30 has a circular bottom plate 60 in its groove 301. The center of the circular bottom plate 60 is provided with a second air vent 601 corresponding to the first air vent 302. The push rod 20 is movably installed at the rear of the two containers 30. The rods 201 on both sides of the push rod 20 pass through the two containers 30 and extend into the grooves 301 of the two containers 30 respectively. The rods 201 on both sides of the push rod 20 are respectively connected to the circular bottom plate 60 in the grooves 301 of the two containers 30.

[0022] In the film fixture 100 provided in this embodiment, a vacuum pump is used to continuously pump air into the two air columns 50. The user holds the handle 10 and pulls the push rod 20. When the push rod 20 is pulled up, the rods 201 on both sides of the push rod 20 drive the round bottom pieces 60 in the two cavities 301 to rise, so that the two round bottom pieces 60 abut against the inner bottom walls 303 of the two cavities 301 respectively. At this time, the first air holes 302 in the two cavities 301 are respectively aligned with the second air holes 601 on the two round bottom pieces 60. Then, the user places the two films into the two cavities 301 respectively. Due to the continuous pumping of air into the two air columns 50 and the first air holes 601 in the two cavities 301, the user continues to pump air into the two cavities 301. The two air columns 50 50 respectively align with the second air holes 601 on the two circular base plates 60, allowing the two air delivery columns 50 to draw air from the first air holes 302 in the two containers 301. Consequently, the first air holes 302 in the two containers 301 draw air into the two containers 301 through the second air holes 601 on the two circular base plates 60. Because air is drawn from the two containers 301, the films placed in the two containers 301 are held in place and will not fall out. At this point, the two films are successfully installed in the two containers 301. Then, the user uses the film fixture 100 to align the installed films with the two mounting positions on the existing injection molding machine. Both mounting positions on the injection molding machine also have air extraction capabilities. The two mounting positions on the injection molding machine correspond to the two films installed in the film fixture 100. To allow the two mounting positions on the injection molding machine to draw the two films from the film fixture 100, the user simultaneously pushes the push rod 20 downwards. The rods 201 on both sides of the push rod 20 drive the circular bottom pieces 60 in the two receiving grooves 301 to descend. As the two circular bottom pieces 60 descend, they push the films in the two receiving grooves 301 to the groove openings and disengage the two circular bottom pieces 60 from the inner bottom walls 303 of the two receiving grooves 301. The first air holes 302 in the two receiving grooves 301 correspond to the second air holes 601 on the two circular bottom pieces 60, and the circumferences of the two circular bottom pieces 60 are respectively aligned with the two receiving grooves 301. Each inner peripheral wall has a gap space. Since both films are circular and equal in size to the two circular base plates 60, when the two films are adsorbed and fixed in the two containers 301, the two films are exactly attached to the two circular base plates 60. Therefore, the gap space is not blocked by the films. This gap space increases the space area for the first air holes 302 in the two containers 301 to draw air, which weakens the directional suction force of the two first air holes 302 on the films in the two containers 301. Thus, the strong suction force of the two mounting positions on the injection molding machine can directly adsorb the films that have been pushed to the groove opening in the two containers 301. The user then completes the loading of the two films onto the injection molding machine with the help of this film fixture 100.In this utility model, after the user installs the film using the film fixture 100, the user can use the film fixture 100 to feed the film onto the injection molding machine, which replaces the existing method of manually feeding the film onto the injection molding machine, thus having the advantage of safe operation.

[0023] In some embodiments, the two containers 30 are connected together by a plurality of connecting rods 40. The connection between the two containers 30 by the plurality of connecting rods 40 enhances the strength of the connection between the two containers 30.

[0024] In some embodiments, the two containers 30 and the plurality of connecting rods 40 are integrally injection molded. This integral injection molding enhances the strength between the two containers 30 and the plurality of connecting rods 40.

[0025] In some embodiments, the air delivery column 50 is connected to an air pipe 501, which in turn connects the air delivery column 50 to a vacuum pump. This connection enables the air delivery column 50 to effectively perform its vacuuming function.

[0026] In some embodiments, the air delivery column 50 has an internal airflow channel, which is connected to the air pipe 501 and the first air hole 302 in the container 301. The air delivery column 50 is connected to the air pipe 501 through the internal airflow channel, allowing the pump to draw air into the airflow channel inside the air delivery column 50 through the air pipe 501. The air delivery column 50 is connected to the first air hole 302 in the container 301 through the internal airflow channel, allowing the air delivery column 50 to draw air into the first air hole 302 through the internal airflow channel.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
