    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1-6, an anti-falling protection device for an automatic mold opening and closing machine in accordance with the present invention is suitable for use on a mold mounting unit 11 to secure or release an upper mold 12 which is provided with a pair of wings 121. In this embodiment, the mold mounting unit 11 includes two opposite lateral surfaces 111, a front surface 112, a rear surface 113 opposite the front surface 112, a top surface 114 and a bottom surface 115. At each of the lateral surfaces of the mold mounting unit 11 is provided a mold clamping unit 13 which is used to clamp the wings 121 of the upper mold 12. The anti-falling protection device includes: a movable member 20, two protection members 30, a power unit 40 and a connecting member 50.
  • The movable member 20 is movably disposed on the top surface 114 of the mold mounting unit 11 and movable along a direction from the front surface 112 to rear surface 113, and includes: a first movable portion 21 and a second movable portion 22 connected to the first movable portion 21. In this embodiment, the first movable portion 21 of the movable member 20 is provided with two slots 23 running in the direction from the front surface 112 to the rear surface 113. Two restricting members 61 are used to restrict the movement of the movable member 20, and each include a restricting portion 611 fixed at the top surface 114 of the mold mounting unit 11 and located in the slots 23, and an expansion portion 612 connected to the restricting portion 611 and abutted against the top surface of the first movable portion 21.
  • The two protection members 30 are driven by the movable member 20 to move along the two lateral surfaces 111 of the mold mounting unit 11, and each include: a fixing portion 31 fixed to the first movable portion 21 of the movable member 20, a middle portion 32 connected to the fixing portion 31 and located toward the two lateral surfaces 111 of the mold mounting unit 11, and a protection portion 33 connected to the middle portion 32 to support or release the wings 121 of the upper mold 12. In this embodiment, the middle portion 32 of the respective protection members 30 is located a distance from the two lateral surfaces 111 of the mold mounting unit 11, and the protection portion 33 is located a little lower than the clamping members 131 of the mold clamping units 13.
  • The power unit 40 includes a cylinder 41 and a piston 42 which extends and retracts between a first position and a second position. The piston 42 includes a rod portion 421 which is exposed out of the cylinder 41 and fixed on a surface (namely, the rear surface 113) of the mold mounting unit 11.
  • The connecting member 50 includes a first connecting portion 51 connected to the cylinder 41, and a second connecting portion 52 connected to the first connecting portion 51 and the second movable portion 22 of the movable member 20.
  • When in the first position (as shown in FIG. 5), the piston 42 will drive the movable member 20 and the two protection members 30 to move toward the power unit 40 until the protection portions 33 of the respective protection members 30 are moved to a position beneath the wings 121 of the upper mold 12. When in the second position (as shown in FIG. 8), the piston 42 will drive the movable member 20 and the two protection members 30 to move away from the power unit 40, so that the protection portions 33 of the protection members 30 are moved away from (namely out of the position beneath the wings 121) the wings 121 of the upper mold 12.
  • What mentioned above are the structural relations of the main components of the embodiment, and for a better understanding of the operation and function of the present invention, please refer to the following descriptions.
  • When the mold clamping units 13 of the mold mounting unit 11 are clamped against the wings 121 of the upper mold 12, the piston 42 of the power unit 40 can be controlled to extend out into the first position, namely, the cylinder 41 moves in a direction away from the rear surface 113 of the mold mounting unit 11. Since the connecting member 50 is connected to the cylinder 41 and the movable member 20 which is connected to the protection members 30, the protection members 30 will therefore be moved toward the power unit 40 until the protection portions 33 of the respective protection members 30 are moved to a position beneath the wings 121 of the upper mold 12, so as to provide protection to the upper mold 12 when the mold clamping units 13 lose clamping ability.
  • It can be seen from FIG. 6 that the upper mold 12 is clamped at the bottom surface of the mold mounting unit 11 by the mold clamping units 13. When the mold clamping units 13 lose clamping ability, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper mold 12 will be released from the mold mounting unit 11 and the mold clamping units 13, and supported by the protection portions 33 of the protection member 30 at the wings 121 of the upper mold 12, preventing the upper mold 12 from falling down to the ground, and protecting the automatic mold opening and closing machine from being damaged by the falling upper mold 12.
  • It is to be noted that when in a state shown in FIG. 5, to release the upper mold 12, the piston 42 of the power unit 40 can be controlled to retract to the second position, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, namely, the cylinder 41 moves towards the rear surface 113 of the mold mounting unit 11, due to the connecting member 50, the movable member 20 and the protection members 30 are fixed to one another, the protection members 30 will move away from the power unit 40 to make the protection portions 33 of the protection members 30 disengage from the wings 121 of the upper mold 12. Then, the mold clamping units 13 are controlled to stop clamping the upper mold 12, and release the upper mold 12 from the mold mounting unit 11.
  • While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
