The first venting groove is located on the second ventilated layer, and there is at least one second venting groove on the second ventilated layer. The second venting groove and the first venting groove are vertically staggered. There is at least one third venting groove on the third solid layer, and the fourth venting groove and the third venting groove are vertically staggered. The third solid layer is provided with vent holes, which are connected to the venting grooves. The end of the vent hole away from the venting groove is connected to the blow-suction channel of the mold to realize the venting function.
[0009] Preferably, the second breathable layer has better air permeability than the first breathable layer, which is beneficial for exhaust and blowing.
[0010] Preferably, the materials of the first and second breathable layers include, but are not limited to, breathable steel.
[0011] Preferably, the material of the third solid layer includes, but is not limited to, solid steel.
[0012] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for forming an in-mold venting insert, the steps of which include:
[0013] S1: Design Model: Design the exhaust insert model that needs to be printed;
[0014] S2: 3D printing: The overall structure of the exhaust insert is printed in three sections. The first section prints the first breathable layer, the second section prints the second breathable layer, and the third section prints the third solid layer.
[0015] S3: Post-processing: The surface of the printed exhaust insert is polished and coated.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it employs an in-mold venting insert and its molding method. By designing the overall structure of the venting insert into three sections: a first section is a first permeable layer, a second section is a second permeable layer, and a third section is a third solid layer. The connection surface between the third solid layer and the second permeable layer is provided with at least one venting groove, and the third solid layer is provided with a venting hole. The venting hole is connected to the venting groove, and the end of the venting hole away from the venting groove is connected to the blow-suction channel of the mold to realize the venting function. This effectively solves the problem of clogging of the venting insert in mold processing, and is also beneficial for maintenance, cleaning, and reuse. [Attached Image Description]

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention and their accompanying drawings.
[0023] This invention provides an internal venting insert for a mold, comprising:
[0024] First breathable layer 110;
[0025] Second breathable layer 120;
[0026] The third solid layer 130 covers the periphery of the first ventilated layer 110 and the second ventilated layer 120, which is beneficial to the strength of the exhaust insert 100 and suitable for subsequent grinding. The connection surface between the third solid layer 130 and the second ventilated layer 120 is provided with at least one ventilation groove, including a first ventilation groove 121, a second ventilation groove 122, a third ventilation groove 131, and a fourth ventilation groove 132. The first ventilation groove 121 is disposed on the second ventilated layer 120, and the second ventilation groove 132 is disposed on the second ventilated layer 120. At least one air groove 122 is provided on the second ventilated layer 120. The second air groove 122 and the first air groove 121 are vertically staggered. At least one third air groove 131 is provided on the third solid layer 130. The fourth air groove 132 and the third air groove 131 are vertically staggered. The third solid layer 130 is provided with an air hole 133, which is connected to the air groove. The end of the air hole 133 away from the air groove is connected to the blowing and suction channel of the mold (not shown in the figure) to realize the exhaust function.
[0027] The second breathable layer 120 has better breathability than the first breathable layer 110, which is beneficial for exhaust and washing.
