Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive plastic injection molding technology, specifically to a precision injection molding connection device for automotive plastic parts. Background Technology

[0002] Precision injection molding of automotive plastic parts requires extremely high mold closing accuracy and clamping force. Especially under the trend of automotive lightweighting, the injection molding process of high-precision, high-strength plastic structural parts (such as connecting brackets, interior clips, etc.) must ensure that there are no gaps between the molds after mold closing, in order to avoid problems such as flash, dimensional deviation or uneven material filling.
