1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a molding, and more particularly, to a molding having a counter.
2. Description of Prior Art
Generally, a molding of prior art is equipped with a counter for counting the number of times of forming products.
However, records of such counter cannot be clear during usage and the counter has to be removed for maintenances to avoid wrong records of non productive molding. Therefore, due to disassembly and assembly occur so often, the mold-repair efficiency and the life time of the counter will be unavoidably impacted.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a molding having a counter capable of avoiding wrong records of non productive molding and removing the counter during the mold-repair.
For realizing the aforesaid objective, the molding having a counter comprises a fixed half, a moving half, a counter, a locator and a counting operator. The fixed half is opened with a through hole. The moving half is functioned in accordance with the fixed half. The locator is positioned at the moving half. The counting operator is slidably set at the moving half and comprises a sliding main body, a locator and a contacting bump. The sliding main body comprises two locating slots positioned at one end thereof. The locator extends into the locating slots to locate the counting operator. The contacting bump is positioned on the sliding main body and can press the contacting part of the counter.
As aforementioned, as the record for the productive molding has to go for the molding having counter, the contacting bump of the counting operator can be moved above the contacting part of the counter, then, the locator dips into one of the locating slots to locate the counting operator after the mold opening. When the mold closing is done, the contacting bump of the counting operator pressed the contacting part of the counter and one productive molding is counted. As the record for the productive molding does not have to go, the contacting bump of the counting operator can be moved aside the contacting part of the counter, then, the locator dips into the other locating slots to locate the counting operator after the mold opening. Therefore, the contacting bump of the counting operator will not press the contacting part of the counter when the mold closing is done. Accordingly, the counter of the molding does not have to be removed during the mold-repair.

The moving half 2 is functioned in accordance with the fixed half 1. An accommodating area 21 is positioned at the moving half 2. The counter 3 is positioned at the fixed half 1 and comprises a contacting part 31 extending into the through hole 11 of the fixed half 1.

In this embodiment, the locator 53 comprises a spring 531 and a clipped steel ball (not shown) which one end thereof reaches and presses spring 531. The locator 53 is positioned and installed in the locating through hole 513 of the fixing block 51. As the locator is installed, the spring 531 is first put into the locating through hole 513. Then, the clipped steel ball is put into the locating through hole 513. One end of the clipped steel ball inside the locating through hole 513 reaches and presses spring 531. A portion of the other end of the clipped steel ball is exposed out of the locating through hole 513.
The operation thimble 4 is movably set in the through hole 11 of the fixed half 1. One end of the operation thimble 4 reaches the contacting part 31 of the counter 3 and other end of the operation thimble 4 dips into the fitting slot 511 of the fixing block 51.

As aforementioned, as the record for the productive molding has to go for the molding 100 having counter, the contacting bump 522 of the counting operator 52 can be moved above the contacting part 31 of the counter 3. When the mold closing is done, the contacting bump 522 pressed the operation thimble 4 and the operation thimble 4 pressed the contacting part 31 of the counter 3. One productive molding is counted. As the record for the productive molding does not have to go, the contacting bump 522 of the counting operator 52 can be moved aside the contacting part 31 of the counter 3. No productive molding counting of the counter 3 is proceeded. Accordingly, the counter 3 of the molding 100 does not have to be removed during the mold-repair.
As is understood by a person skilled in the art, the foregoing preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrative rather than limiting of the present invention. It is intended that they cover various modifications and similar arrangements be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structure.
