Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, an automatic front safety door mechanical protection lock for a large injection molding machine includes a fixed door 1 with an inlet and outlet. A sliding door 2 is axially slidably installed on the inner wall of the fixed door 1 to close or unclose the inlet and outlet. A drive mechanism for moving the sliding door 2 is installed below the fixed door 1. A locking mechanism extending through to the back end of the fixed door 1 is installed on the front end of the fixed door 1 away from the sliding door 2. An inwardly protruding limiting plate 10 is integrally formed below the back end of the sliding door 2. The limiting plate 10, in conjunction with the locking mechanism, is used to limit the sliding door 2 in the open state.

[0015] In this embodiment: When the injection molding machine is performing injection molding, the sliding door 2 is in a closed state, sealing the entrance and exit of the fixed door 1. After the injection molding is completed, when the injection molding machine opens the mold, it is necessary to take out the product injected by the injection molding machine. At this time, by pressing the open switch, the drive mechanism drives the sliding door 2 to slide open. During the opening process of the sliding door 2, the limit plate 10 moves synchronously until the sliding door 2 is fully open. At this time, the limit plate 10 abuts against the locking mechanism, and the sliding door 2 cannot be closed. At this time, the injection molded product can be taken out, avoiding the installation risk caused by the sliding door 2 closing when taking out the injection molded product. After the injection-molded product is removed, the limiting plate 10 is released by applying a pushing force to the locking mechanism located at the front end of the fixed door 1, thereby releasing the limiting of the sliding door 2.

[0016] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 3 The drive mechanism includes a forward and reverse motor 3 fixedly installed below the front end of the fixed door 1. Two tensioning wheels 15 are rotatably installed on the lower inner wall of the fixed door 1. The two tensioning wheels 15 are connected by a belt 16. A connecting block 17 is fixedly installed on the upper outer periphery of the belt 16. The bottom end of the connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding door 2.

[0017] In this embodiment: by starting the forward and reverse motor 3, the forward and reverse motor 3 drives a tension wheel 15 connected to its output end to rotate. The tension wheel 15 drives another tension wheel 15 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction through the belt 16. At this time, the belt 16 can drive the sliding door 2 to slide through the connecting block 17, so as to realize the opening and closing of the sliding door 2.

[0018] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking mechanism includes a rack 5 extending from the front end of the fixed door 1 to the back end of the fixed door 1. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the rack 5. A handle 7 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the connecting plate 6 by bolts. A guide shaft 8, welded to the front end of the fixed door 1, is slidably mounted on the end of the connecting plate 6 away from the rack 5. A first spring 9, which is sleeved on the guide shaft 8, abuts against the back end of the connecting plate 6 and the front end of the fixed door 1. The locking mechanism also includes a gear 13 rotatably mounted on the back end of the fixed door 1 via a bracket 12. Wheel 13 meshes with rack 5. A movable plate 14 is coaxially mounted on one end of gear 13. A locking block 18 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of movable plate 14. The bottom end of locking block 18 extends through to the bottom of movable plate 14. A pressure-bearing inclined surface 19 is formed on the side of locking block 18 near the limiting plate 10. A vertical rod 20 that is slidably connected to locking block 18 is vertically fixed on the inner wall of movable plate 14. A second spring 21 that is sleeved with vertical rod 20 is abutted between the top of locking block 18 and the top of the inner wall of movable plate 14.

[0019] In this embodiment: when the sliding door 2 is opened, the sliding door 2 drives the limiting plate 10 to move until the limiting plate 10 contacts and presses against the locking block 18. At this time, the limiting plate 10 applies a pressing force to the pressure inclined surface 19, and the locking block 18 moves upward under the force. The locking block 18 can slide upward along the inner wall of the movable plate 14. The locking block 18 slides upward along the vertical rod 20. At this time, the second spring 21 is compressed until the locking block 18 is misaligned with the limiting plate 10. At this time, the second spring 21 resets and pushes the locking block 18 to reset downward. The reset locking block 18 blocks the limiting plate 10 to prevent the sliding door 2 from automatically closing due to a program error. After the injection molded part is removed, the staff member comes out and pushes the connecting plate 6 towards the front end of the fixed door 1 by the handle 7. The connecting plate 6 pushes the rack 5 to move. When the rack 5 moves, it pushes the gear 13 to rotate. The rotating gear 13 drives the movable plate 14 and the locking block 18 to rotate. When the locking block 18, the movable plate 14 and the limiting plate 10 are misaligned, they will no longer block the closing of the sliding door 2.

[0020] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A pressing block 11 is fixedly installed on the back end of the connecting plate 6. A pressing switch 4, which is aligned with the pressing block 11, is installed on the front end of the fixed door 1. Proximity switches for opening and closing the sliding door 2 are installed on both ends of the inner wall of the fixed door 1. The proximity switches, pressing switches 4 and forward and reverse motors 3 are electrically connected.

[0021] In this embodiment: after the card block 18, the movable plate 14 and the limiting plate 10 are misaligned, the pressing block 11 connected with the connecting plate 6 contacts and presses the pressing switch 4. At this time, the pressing switch 4 can control the forward and reverse motor 3 to run, thereby closing the sliding door 2. The design of two proximity switches allows the drive mechanism to stop operating when the sliding door 2 is fully open or closed.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
