[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, according to Figure 1-5As shown, it includes: a support 100, on which a lower template 110 is provided; a mold 150 is provided on the lower template 110; the lower template 110 has multiple openings 111, and a mold clamping column 120 is correspondingly inserted through each opening 111; one end of each mold clamping column 120 is connected to an upper template 130, and the other end is connected to a base 140, the base 140 being located at the bottom of the support 100; a mold locking device, which is located on the lower template 110 and acts on the base 140; a lifting device, which is located on the lower template 110 and acts on the base 140; and an injection device 400, which is located on the upper template 130, and the injection device 400 is used to inject adhesive into the mold 150.

[0037] Specifically, the mold-closing column 120 passes through the lower mold plate 110, with one end connected to the base 140 and the other end connected to the upper mold plate 130. The lifting device can act on the base 140, causing the base 140 to move up and down, further causing the upper mold plate 130 to close and open. When the mold is closed, the mold-locking device acts on the base 140 and locks the position of the base 140, thereby locking the position of the upper mold plate 130, preventing the upper mold plate 130 from moving backward or loosening, and ensuring that the upper mold plate 130 remains stably closed during high-pressure injection. The injection device 400 is located on the upper mold plate 130, and can inject rubber material into the mold 150 when the mold is closed.

[0038] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the mold 150 includes a lower mold body 151 and an upper mold body 152; the support 100 is provided with a first cooling component for dissipating heat from the lower mold body 151 and the upper mold body 152; the lower mold body 151 is connected to the lower template 110; the upper mold body 152 is connected to the upper template 130, and the upper template 130 is also provided with a second cooling component, which is used to dissipate heat from the upper template 130 and transfer the cooling energy to the upper mold body 152.

[0039] Specifically, by setting up a first cooling component, heat can be dissipated from the lower mold body 151 and the upper mold body 152. Because the upper mold body 152 is close to the injection port, the heat is high and the heat dissipation is slow. By setting up a second cooling component, heat can be dissipated from the upper mold plate 130, and the cold energy can be transferred to the upper mold body 152, so that the cooling speed of the lower mold body 151 and the upper mold body 152 is approximately the same, the product shrinkage is consistent, and the scrap rate is reduced.

[0040] according to Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the first cooling component includes an external coolant module (not shown); both the lower mold body 151 and the upper mold body 152 are provided with cooling channels 153 and inlet holes 154 and outlet holes 155 that connect to the cooling channels 153. The coolant module is connected to the inlet hole 154 and outlet hole 155 through a conduit. The coolant circulates in the cooling channels 153, which can quickly cool the injection-molded workpiece.

[0041] Specifically, this method is liquid cooling, which has a good heat dissipation effect. The heat of the mold 150 can be quickly reduced by circulating the cooling liquid in the cooling channel 153.

[0042] It is understood that the cooling channel 153 can be a spiral channel. The cooling channel 153 can be set only around the outer periphery of the lower mold body 151 and the upper mold body 152 without affecting the middle injection space.

[0043] The coolant module mainly consists of a coolant tank and a heat exchange component. The heat exchange component can keep the coolant in the coolant tank at a continuously low temperature.

[0044] according to Figure 1 As shown, the second cooling assembly includes several water-cooled plates 160, each water-cooled plate 160 being disposed on the side of the upper template 130. The water-cooled plates 160 can cool and dissipate heat for the upper template 130, thereby transferring the cold energy to the upper mold body 152. The water-cooled plates 160 are provided with multiple heat dissipation fins for auxiliary heat dissipation. A support arm 170 is provided on the bracket 100, and a fan 180 is mounted on the support arm 170, with the fan 180 facing the water-cooled plates 160.

[0045] Specifically, the second cooling component mainly relies on the water cooling of the water-cooled plate 160 and the air cooling of the fan 180. The two work together to reduce the temperature of the upper mold plate 130, thereby reducing the temperature of the upper mold body 152. This ensures that the heat dissipation speed of the upper mold body 152 and the lower mold body 151 is similar, preventing inconsistent product shrinkage and high scrap rate.

[0046] It's understandable that the water-cooled plate 160 has inlet and outlet ports for liquid, and an internal circulation channel. The coolant from the coolant module flows into the water-cooled plate 160 through conduits, thus lowering the temperature. The air cooling of the fan 180 can accelerate the heat dissipation of the heat sink fins, resulting in better cooling performance when used together.

[0047] The boom 170 can be divided into a first branch 171, a second branch 172, and a third branch 173. The first branch 171 is connected to the bracket 100. The first branch 171, the second branch 172, and the third branch 173 are all connected and rotated through a rotating seat 174. The fan 180 is mounted on the third branch 173. By rotating the third branch 173, the direction of the fan 180 can be adjusted at will. By adjusting the rotating seat 174 between the first branch 171 and the second branch 172, the fan 180 can be moved closer to or further away from the injection molding machine.

[0048] It is understandable that a display screen is also installed on the third branch 173, which can display data, and operation buttons can be located next to the display screen.

[0049] according to Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the lifting device includes two first rapid mold-moving cylinders 200; the two first rapid mold-moving cylinders 200 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the lower mold plate 110, and the output shaft of the first rapid mold-moving cylinder 200 acts on the base 140. The base 140 is connected to the upper mold plate 130 through one end of the mold-closing column 120, which can drive the upper mold plate 130 to move up and down to realize mold closing and mold opening. The mold-locking device includes a mold-locking cylinder 300; the output shaft of the mold-locking cylinder 300 acts on the base 140 and provides mold-locking force to ensure that the mold 150 will not be pried open under the impact of the injection molding process.

[0050] Specifically, an oil tank 500 is also provided next to the support 100. The oil tank 500 is connected to the mold-locking cylinder 300 through a conduit. The oil tank 500 is also equipped with a rotating motor to stir the oil tank 500 to prevent low-temperature solidification.

[0051] The mold-locking cylinder 300 is also equipped with an ejector cylinder 310. The ejector cylinder 310 is located near the lower mold plate 110, and the ejector shaft 311 of the ejector cylinder 310 passes through the lower mold plate 110.

[0052] The first rapid mold moving cylinder 200 and the mold locking cylinder 300 both act on the base 140. The base 140 is fixedly connected to the mold closing column 120, and the upper mold plate 130 is fixedly connected to the mold closing column 120. Driving the base 140 to move is equivalent to driving the upper mold plate 130 to move.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the injection device 400 includes a feed tube assembly 410; the feed tube assembly 410 includes a barrel 411, a screw 412 is provided inside the barrel 411, and a nozzle 413 is connected to one end of the barrel 411. The upper mold plate 130 is provided with an injection hole 131, and the nozzle 413 can pass through the injection hole 131 to inject the rubber material into the mold 150. The injection device 400 also includes an injection cylinder 420 and a lifting cylinder 430.

[0054] Specifically, there are two injection cylinders 420 and two lifting cylinders 430. The material tube assembly 410 is located inside the injection cylinders 420 and the lifting cylinders 430. A motor is also provided at the end of the screw 412 away from the nozzle 413. The motor drives the screw 412 to rotate and plasticize the plastic material. The injection cylinders 420 are used to directly push the screw 412 forward to complete the injection of molten plastic. The lifting cylinders 430 are used to control the up and down movement of the material tube assembly 410 to ensure that the nozzle 413 fits tightly with the mold gate.

[0055] It is understandable that the method by which the injection cylinder 420 and the lifting cylinder 430 drive the feed tube assembly 410 is a mature existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, the architectural form of this utility model can be flexibly varied without departing from its concept, and a series of products can be derived. Any simple deductions or substitutions should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
