AI Technical Summary
The existing plastic molds used to prepare automotive steering wheel control handles require sliders in two directions to operate separately when opening and closing the mold, and the process is complicated and the efficiency is low.
A plastic mold including a fixed template and a moving template is designed. The moving template is provided with a first slider assembly whose sliding direction is perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the mold. Two second slider assembly symmetrical is provided on the first slider assembly. When the moving template is moved through the delay contact mechanism, when the moving template is moved, the second slider assembly begins to move, realizing the core pulling action in both directions.
The process flow is simplified and the mold opening efficiency is improved. The core pulling action in both directions is completed with only one action of the template, ensuring the molding quality of the product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Figure 1 This is the main product view of the control handle on the car steering wheel. Figure 2 This is the AA section view along the parting line of the mold. Figure 3 for Figure 2 BB section view. The material of the product is PA66-GF30. The dimensions are a=55.4mm, b=43.2mm, c=6.9mm, d=31mm, e=25.3mm, f=3.6mm, g=4.2mm. After the position of the parting line of the main view of the product and the opening direction of the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 2 are determined, Figure 2 It can be seen from the figure that at the first cavity 110 of the product body 100, the mold is released along the direction of the arrow indicated by F. Figure 3 It can be seen that the control handle is demolded along the arrow direction indicated by G and the arrow direction indicated by H at the second concave cavity 210 of the connecting shaft 200; that is, the arrow direction indicated by F is perpendicular to the arrow direction indicated by G and the arrow direction indicated by H in the direction of the slider movement of the mold. This embodiment is formed around the sliders in these two directions, showing that a slider in another direction is installed on a slider, completing the core pulling action of the sliders in the two directions.
[0027] The mold structure of the present invention is shown in Figures 4 to 7.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, there is a 13mm radial movement gap L in the first waist-shaped inclined guide hole 7 matching the first inclined guide column 6 and the first slider seat 5. The function of this radial movement gap L is to enable the first slider seat 5, the first slider body 3 and the first sliding insert 4 to achieve delayed core pulling action during the mold opening process.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the second slider 9 is slidably fitted into the sliding hole 8, the second slider seat 11 is provided with a sliding groove 12 extending along the moving direction of the first slider body 3, the second slider 9 is provided with a hanging platform 10 that is slidably fitted into the sliding groove 12, the fixed mold plate 1 is provided with a second inclined guide column 13, and a second inclined guide hole 14 is provided on the second slider seat 11, the second inclined guide column 13 is slidably fitted into the second inclined guide hole 14, when the mold is opened, under the drive of the second inclined guide column 13, the second slider seat 11 will retreat, driving the second slider 9 to disengage from the second concave cavity 210 of the connecting shaft 200.
[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, corresponding to Figure 3 The undercut area of the second concave cavity 210 of the middle connecting shaft 200, which is formed by demoulding in the direction of the arrows G and H, is Figure 6 The product undercut areas at J and N indicated in the figure are the molding areas of the head corresponding to the second slider 9. There is a 6mm activity space at the assembly position limit groove 16 corresponding to the limit screw 17 and the second slider 9. The second slider 9 and the second slider seat 11 are connected in the manner that the hanging platform 10 is embedded in the slide groove 12 to transmit the axial force transmitted to the second slider seat 11 when retreating. The limit screw 17 is fixed on the first slider body 3, passes through the first slider body 3 and the first sliding insert 4, radially extends into the slide hole 8 and is embedded in the limit groove 16 to prevent the second slider 9 from falling off from the first slider body 3.
[0031] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the relative position relationship between the first sliding insert 4, the first slider seat 5 and the first inclined guide column 6 during the mold opening process is shown. The thrust spring 18 is used to give thrust to the second slider 9 when the mold is opened, so that the second slider 9 can smoothly leave the second cavity 210. At this time, the second slider 9 has not left the second cavity 210.
[0032] Figure 8 The movable mold plate 2 and the fixed mold plate 1 of the mold are separated by a distance of N=18.2mm. As can be seen from the figure, when the mold is opened by a distance of 18.2mm, the second inclined guide pillar 13 drives the second slider seat 11 and the second slider 9 to move a distance along the sliding direction. At this time, the second inclined guide pillar 13 is just in the position of leaving the second slider seat 11.
[0033] Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of the second slider 9 can be seen from the figure that at this time, the second slider 9 has been separated from the second cavity 210 by a distance, and the limit screw 17 is in contact with the second slider 9, preventing the second slider seat 11 from continuing to move in the sliding direction. At this time, a 6 mm idle travel appears in the limit groove 16.
[0034] Fig.10 This is the case where the mold opening distance between the movable mold plate 2 and the fixed mold plate 1 is 18.2 mm. As can be seen from the figure, in the first waist-shaped inclined guide hole 7 matched with the first inclined guide column 6 and the first slider seat 5, the current radial movement gap L=4 mm. If the mold opening continues, the first inclined guide column 6 will contact the first waist-shaped inclined guide hole 7 of the first slider seat 5.
[0035] Fig.11 yes Figure 8 DD sectional view. The figure shows the relative position relationship between the first sliding insert 4, the first slider seat 5 and the first inclined guide column 6 during the mold opening process. It can be seen from the figure that the second slider 9 has been separated from the second cavity 210 at this time.
[0036] Fig.12 This is the state when the movable die plate 2 and the fixed die plate 1 of the mold are separated to the point where the first inclined guide column 6 is about to be separated from the first slider seat 5. It can be seen that the movable die plate 2 and the fixed die plate 1 have been completely separated.
[0037] Fig.12 It can be seen from the figure that the hanging platform 10 of the second slider 9 has been separated from the sliding groove 12 of the second slider seat 11.
[0038] like Fig.13 As shown, at this time, the product body 100 has been completely separated from the first sliding insert 4 smoothly, and if the mold continues to open, the product can be ejected.
[0039] Fig.14 yes Fig.12 EE section view in. Fig.14 It can be seen that, driven by the first inclined guide column 6, the slider system composed of the first slider body 3 and the first slider seat 5 has completed the mold opening action, and the first sliding insert 4 fixed on the first slider body 3 has also completed the mold opening action. At this time, the control handle has completely separated from the first sliding insert 4. Similarly, the hanging platform 10 of the second slider 9 set on the first slider seat 5 and the slide groove 12 of the second slider seat 11 have also completed the separation action.
[0040] So far, the delayed slider structure of the core pulling in two directions has completed the mold opening action, and the control handle has successfully completed the demoulding action.
[0041] The mold closing process is just the opposite of this process, and the mold closing action can also be completed smoothly.
