Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a tie rod structure for a dual-motor injection molding machine. Background Technology
[0002] During the movement of the injection stage in a dual-motor injection molding machine, the slight difference in output torque or speed between the two motors in the dual-drive structure can easily lead to asynchronous movement of the lead screw assembly, resulting in problems such as overall stage skew, vibration, or decreased positioning accuracy. Traditional solutions often use a single drive or a mechanical coupling for forced synchronization, but the former is difficult to meet the demands of high loads, while the latter suffers from drawbacks such as complex structure, slow response, and high maintenance costs.

Two lead screw assemblies are provided between the tailstock and the middle frame corresponding to the two sets of drive assemblies. The drive assemblies are used to drive the lead screw assemblies to rotate. The lead screw assemblies can drive the middle frame to slide on the tie rods through rotation and extension.
