[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a nozzle alignment mechanism for an injection molding machine, comprising:

[0031] Alignment component, the alignment component includes a frame 100;

[0032] The fixing component includes a nozzle seat 200, a support seat 201, a support half ring 202, a bottom ring 203, an internal threaded ring 204, a threaded rod 205, and a handle 206. The support seat 201 is located on the upper surface of the mechanism frame 100, the bottom ring 203 is fixed to the top of the support seat 201, the nozzle seat 200 is placed on the top of the bottom ring 203, the support half ring 202 is located on the outer surface of the bottom ring 203, the internal threaded ring 204 is disposed on the outer surface of the support half ring 202, the threaded rod 205 is threadedly connected to the middle part of the internal threaded ring 204, and the handle 206 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the threaded rod 205.

[0033] When it is necessary to install and align nozzle seats 200 of different sizes, the nozzle seat 200 can be placed stably on the top of the bottom ring 203. The operator only needs to turn the handle 206 to drive the threaded rod 205 to rotate. As the threaded rod 205 rotates, it gradually clamps tightly on the outer surface of the nozzle seat 200, thus achieving a stable clamping and fixing of the nozzle seat 200.

[0034] The supporting semi-ring 202 is arc-shaped and surrounds the outer surface of the nozzle seat 200.

[0035] It also includes a positioning component, which includes a sliding groove 300, a moving groove 301 and a slider 302. The slider 302 is opened inside the bottom ring 203, the moving groove 301 is opened at both ends of the outer surface of the bottom ring 203, the slider 302 is movably connected to the inside of the moving groove 301 and the sliding groove 300, and the other side is fixed to the outside of the supporting half ring 202.

[0036] The supporting half-ring 202 can be moved by the slider 302 moving inside the slide groove 300 and the moving groove 301.

[0037] A snap-fit ​​block 303 is fixed to one end of the outer surface of the slider 302, and the snap-fit ​​block 303 is clamped to one end of the moving groove 301.

[0038] A second snap-fit ​​block 304 is fixed to the other end of the outer surface of the slider 302, and the second snap-fit ​​block 304 is clamped to the other end of the moving groove 301;

[0039] The position of the support half-ring 202 after sliding is reinforced by clamping and fixing with snap-fit ​​block 1 303 and snap-fit ​​block 2 304.

[0040] The supporting components also include an inner groove 101, a lead screw 102, a nut 103, and a support base 104. The inner groove 101 is formed on the top of the mechanism frame 100, the lead screw 102 is rotatably connected to the inside of the inner groove 101, the nut 103 is set on the outer surface of the lead screw 102, the support seat 201 is fixed on the top of the nut 103, and the support base 104 is welded to the bottom of the mechanism frame 100.

[0041] The motor runs, driving the turntable and lead screw 102 to rotate. The nut 103 moves in position through the rotation of the lead screw 102, aligning the nozzle seat 200.

[0042] Working principle: The operator can stably place the nozzle seat 200 to be installed on top of the bottom ring 203. The bottom ring 203 serves as the foundation of the entire support structure, providing a stable platform for the nozzle seat 200. At this time, the slider 302 precisely matches the sliding groove 300 and the moving groove 301. Due to the special design of the sliding groove 300 and the moving groove 301, the slider 302 can slide smoothly in a ring. With the help of this ring sliding, the support half ring 202 can move flexibly along the predetermined track until it reaches the optimal upper position that fits the current nozzle seat 200. After the support half ring 202 is in place, the operator only needs to manually turn the handle 206. The handle 206 is connected to the threaded rod 205 through a reasonable transmission structure. When the handle 206 is turned, it will directly drive the threaded rod 205 to rotate synchronously. As the threaded rod 205 rotates, it gradually comes into contact with the outer surface of the nozzle seat 200 and continuously applies pressure during the continuous rotation. This pressure allows the threaded rod 205 to fit tightly against the outer surface of the nozzle seat 200. As the fit increases, it eventually achieves a holistic and stable clamping and fixing of the nozzle seat 200. This eliminates the need for complex tools or cumbersome steps, greatly saving installation time and improving production efficiency.

[0043] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0044] The support component includes a side plate 400, a guide rod 401, a crossbar 403, and a guide ring 404. The side plate 400 is fixed to the top of the frame 100, the guide rod 401 is fixed between the two side plates 400, the crossbar 403 is fixed to both ends of the support base 201, and the guide ring 404 is disposed at the outer end of the crossbar 403 and is movably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 401.

[0045] The guide ring 404 is installed on the outer end of the nut 103. During the movement of the nut 103, the guide ring 404 will slide synchronously on the outside of the guide rod 401. The guide rod 401 provides precise guidance for the movement of the guide ring 404, ensuring that the nut 103 strictly follows the predetermined trajectory during the movement, avoiding deviation or shaking, thereby significantly improving the stability and accuracy of the movement of the nut 103.

[0046] A spring 402 is wound around the outer surface of the guide rod 401, and the spring 402 is attached to both sides of the guide ring 404;

[0047] When the nut 103 moves the bottom ring 203, the spring 402 can provide strong support for the bottom ring 203. At the beginning of the movement of the nut 103, the spring 402 will adaptively adjust its elastic deformation according to the moving speed and direction of the bottom ring 203, thereby buffering the impact force on the bottom ring 203.

[0048] Working principle: First, the guide ring 404 is installed on the outer end of the nut 103. During the movement of the nut 103, the guide ring 404 slides synchronously on the outside of the guide rod 401. The guide rod 401 provides precise guidance for the movement of the guide ring 404, ensuring that the nut 103 strictly follows the predetermined trajectory during the movement, avoiding deviation or shaking. A spring 402 is wound around the outside of the guide rod 401. When the nut 103 drives the bottom ring 203 to move, the spring 402 can provide strong support for the bottom ring 203. At the beginning stage of the movement of the nut 103, the spring 402 will adaptively adjust its elastic deformation according to the moving speed and direction of the bottom ring 203, thereby buffering the impact force on the bottom ring 203 and reducing the vibration caused by sudden start or stop. During the movement, the spring 402 always maintains a certain preload, continuously providing stable support for the bottom ring 203, effectively preventing the bottom ring 203 from tilting or shaking due to gravity or external force.
