Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machines, and in particular to a mold clamping component for a high-speed preform machine. Background Technology
[0002] Preform injection molding requires injection molding machines with rapid mold opening and closing capabilities for the following reasons: 1. To shorten the molding cycle and increase production capacity; 2. To ensure preform transparency and crystallization control; 3. To optimize mold life and stability; 4. To adapt to the seamless transition requirements of blow molding processes. Therefore, improving the opening and closing speed, precision, and stability of the mold closing components is essential.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN204398283U discloses a transmission clamping mechanism for a three-platen supercharged injection molding machine, which includes a fixed platen, a moving platen, and a tail plate. A toggle mechanism is provided between the tail platen and the moving platen. The toggle mechanism includes a long elbow arm, a short elbow arm, and a support rod. The opposite ends of the short elbow arm and the long elbow arm are hinged together, and the opposite ends of the two arms are respectively hinged to the tail platen and the moving platen. The two ends of the support rod are respectively hinged to the short elbow arm and a support plate connected to a clamping cylinder. The cylinder body of the clamping cylinder is mounted on the tail plate, and the end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the center of the support plate.
[0004] Existing toggle mechanisms are all self-locking toggle mechanisms. They achieve a mechanical self-locking state by having a support rod perpendicular to the horizontal plane when the mold is closed, thus maintaining the closed state. However, this method slows down the mold opening speed, which is not suitable for the production of preforms that require faster mold opening and closing speeds. Therefore, it is necessary to design a high-speed preform machine mold closing component that can open and close molds quickly. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcoming that the opening and closing speed of existing three-platen injection molding machines cannot meet the speed required for preform production, and provides a high-speed preform-specific mold closing component that improves the opening and closing speed.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:
[0007] A mold-closing component for a high-speed preform machine includes a fixed mold plate, a moving mold plate, and a tail plate. A thrust seat is provided between the tail plate and the moving mold plate. A toggle mechanism is provided between the moving mold plate, the thrust seat, and the tail plate. A mold-locking cylinder is provided between the tail plate and the thrust seat. The toggle mechanism is a non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism, and the mold-locking cylinder is a buffer cylinder.
[0008] The crankshaft mechanism using the above scheme includes a self-locking crankshaft mechanism and a non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism. The non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism can move freely in both directions and can maintain its motion state when the driving force and resistance are balanced, thus achieving rapid mold opening and closing. The mold locking cylinder adopts a buffer cylinder. When the moving platen moves flexibly under the action of the non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism, the buffer cylinder can reduce the time required for the entire mold closing process and achieve good mold locking performance through its own buffer braking. The combination of the above structures can significantly improve the speed of mold opening and closing, and improve the quality and efficiency of preform production.
[0009] Preferably, an ejection mechanism is provided on the moving template. The ejection mechanism includes a main ejection cylinder and an auxiliary cylinder that eject materials synchronously and have different lengths of extension and retraction.
[0010] Using the above scheme, the main ejector cylinder and the auxiliary cylinder participate in the first ejection action to ensure sufficient ejection force at the beginning so that the product can be separated from the mold. The main ejector cylinder also participates in the second ejection action to ensure that the product is ejected from the mold. This design can improve the unloading speed and further improve the production efficiency of bottle preforms.
[0011] Preferably, an auxiliary plate is integrally provided on the side of the moving template near the tail plate. The cylinder body of the main top cylinder is mounted on the auxiliary plate and the piston rod is inserted into the moving template. The cylinder body of the auxiliary cylinder is placed in the mounting groove of the moving template. The piston rod of the main top cylinder is directly opposite the center of the cavity and the end of the piston rod is equipped with an ejector rod. When the piston rods of the main top cylinder and the auxiliary cylinder retract, the end of the ejector rod is flush with the end of the piston rod of the auxiliary cylinder and does not extend beyond the side of the moving template near the fixed template.
[0012] By adopting the above scheme, the above settings can ensure that the ejector rod and the auxiliary cylinder can act synchronously on the product to perform the first ejection action, and the installation method of the main ejector cylinder can ensure that it can achieve the first ejection action and the second ejection action continuously.
[0013] Preferably, there are 2N (N≥1) auxiliary cylinders symmetrically distributed around the axis of the piston rod of the main cylinder.
[0014] Using the above scheme, 2N auxiliary cylinders are set and distributed symmetrically around the axis of the piston rod of the main top cylinder (which is also the center of the cavity), which can provide a stable ejection force for the product.
[0015] Preferably, the ejector rod is connected to the piston rod of the main ejector cylinder through the ejector guide plate. The ejector rod includes 2M (M≥1) uniform force ejector rods symmetrically distributed around the piston rod axis of the main ejector cylinder and / or a central ejector rod distributed coaxially with the piston rod of the main ejector cylinder. The moving template is provided with a clearance groove that runs through both sides and allows the ejector rod to pass through. The clearance groove is staggered from the installation groove.
[0016] By adopting the above scheme, an ejector guide plate is added to increase the number of ejector rods. Since there is friction between the product and the mold, the more ejector rods there are and the more evenly they are distributed during ejection, the more stable the product ejection will be and the lower the risk of product deformation. The ejector rods can be set with only a central ejector rod, or multiple uniform force ejector rods in addition to the central ejector rod, or a combination of central ejector rods and uniform force ejector rods. The optimal setting method is the combination of both, and the ejected product quality is the most stable.
[0017] Preferably, a mold adjustment mechanism for increasing mold clamping accuracy is provided on the tail plate, and the mold adjustment mechanism is an electric mold adjustment mechanism.
[0018] By adopting the above solution, the mold adjustment mechanism can be more adaptable, and the mold adjustment accuracy of the electric mold adjustment mechanism is higher.
[0019] Preferably, the moving template slides on the mold closing base, and the lower end of the moving template has mounting planes on both sides. Guide sliders are fixed on the mounting planes, and the mold closing base has a linear rail that extends towards the mold closing direction of the moving template and allows the guide sliders to be embedded and guided.
[0020] The above solution results in low friction between the linear guide and the guide slider, high running accuracy, and low energy consumption.
[0021] Preferably, the side wall of the moving template is provided with an oil supply hole for supplying hydraulic oil to the auxiliary cylinder.
[0022] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solutions, has significant technical effects: it improves upon conventional three-platen injection molding machines by using a non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism, a buffer cylinder for the mold-locking cylinder, and a main ejector cylinder and an auxiliary cylinder with different stroke lengths for the ejection mechanism. The non-self-locking crankshaft mechanism allows for bidirectional free movement, enabling rapid mold opening and closing. The buffer cylinder, through its own buffer braking, reduces the time required for the entire mold closing process and achieves good mold-locking performance. In the ejection mechanism, the main ejector cylinder and the auxiliary cylinder participate in the first ejection action, ensuring sufficient ejection force at the initial stage to allow the product to detach from the mold. The main ejector cylinder also participates in the second ejection action, ensuring the product is ejected from the mold. The combination of these structures significantly improves the speed of mold opening and closing, and enhances the quality and efficiency of preform production. Attached Figure Description

Guide holes 161 are provided on both sides of the ejection guide plate 16 for the guide rod 18 to pass through. The ejection guide plate 16 slides between the auxiliary plate 304 and the moving template 3 guided by the guide rod 18. A central ejection rod 172 and eight uniform force ejection rods 171 are provided on the side of the ejection guide rod 18 near the moving template 3. The central ejection rod 172 is coaxially arranged with the piston rod of the main ejection cylinder 4 and is directly opposite the center of the product cavity.
