1. An injection molding system comprising:
an injection molding apparatus, wherein the injection molding apparatus includes a frame and includes first support members configured to support a bottom of the mold, and wherein the injection molding apparatus includes a first support base that holds the first support members; and
a conveyor apparatus configured to move a mold between a first position in the injection molding apparatus and a second position different from the first position, wherein the conveyor apparatus supports the mold when the mold is located at the second position, wherein the conveyor apparatus includes a frame and includes second support members configured to support the bottom of the mold, and wherein the conveyor apparatus includes a second support base that holds the second support members,
wherein the improvement to the injection molding system includes:
an upper connection part and a lower connection part configured to fix the conveyor apparatus with the injection molding apparatus such that a part of the injection molding apparatus that is closest to the conveyor apparatus and a part of the conveyor apparatus that is closest to the injection molding apparatus are spaced apart, such that the first support members are aligned with the second support members in a direction in which the mold moves when moving between the first position and the second position, and such that the first support base and the second support base are spaced apart,
wherein a first end of the upper connection part is fixed to the first support base and a second end of the upper connection part is fixed to the second support base, and
wherein a first end of the lower connection part is fixed to a base of the frame of the injection molding apparatus and a second end of the lower connection part is fixed to a base of the frame of the conveyor apparatus.
