Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plastic moulds, and in particular to a plastic mould adaptable to height errors of inserts. Background Art

[0002] In the field of injection mold technology, metal insert molding is used more and more widely. Through the combination of the resin's easy formability, flexibility, lightness, insulation and the metal's rigidity, strength, heat resistance and conductivity, complex and sophisticated metal-plastic integrated products that can meet the special functional requirements of the product can be made.

[0003] In the actual production process, the main difficulty of insert molding lies in the coordination with the mold. The overflow value of plastic resin is generally small, and the overflow value of PA66 is about 0.015mm. When the sealing surface clearance is greater than the material overflow value, the product will produce flash.

[0004] Metal inserts can be processed and manufactured by cutting, grinding, stamping, cold heading and casting. Different processing techniques lead to different processing precision. The higher the precision requirement of metal inserts, the more expensive the processing cost is. Insufficient precision of metal inserts will lead to problems with the mold, and the final product cannot meet the quality requirements. The metal positioning surface of some cylindrical metal inserts is also the sealing surface, and the dimensional tolerance is required to be ±0.01mm. The plastic material is PA66, and the material overflow value is 0.015mm, while the axial dimensional tolerance of metal inserts is usually ±0.05mm. The size of metal inserts fluctuates greatly, and the mold cannot match. If the mold is made according to the upper limit of the metal insert size, the size of the metal positioning surface of the product will be out of tolerance, and the sealing surface will produce a large flash, which is not allowed by the product function; if the mold is made according to the lower limit of the metal insert size, the metal insert will face the problem of being unable to be embedded in the mold, the mold cannot be closed, and the mold structure is easily crushed. In traditional solutions, the quality requirements of the product can only be met by controlling the axial dimensional accuracy of the metal insert within ±0.005mm, which greatly increases the processing cost of the metal insert. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a plastic mold that can adapt to the height error of the insert, improve the adaptability to the height error of the insert, and reduce the flash problem and the insert processing cost.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The plastic mold that adapts to the height error of the insert shown includes: a hardware insert 2, a front mold assembly and a rear mold assembly corresponding to the front mold assembly, the rear mold assembly includes a limit adjustment structure, a press needle 3, a press needle spring block 5, a press needle bottom plate 14, a press needle panel 13, a telescopic drive device 10, a base 15, a mold foot plate 12 and a rear mold plate 11, the mold foot plate 12 is arranged on the base 15 at intervals, the rear mold plate 11 is arranged on the mold foot plate 12, and the rear mold plate 11 is supported and fixed by the two mold foot plates 12.

[0024] The hardware insert 2 is arranged in the rear template 11. In this embodiment, the hardware insert 2 is a cylindrical metal insert. A mold core 22 is arranged on the rear template 11. The hardware insert 2 is arranged in the mold core 22. The mold core 22 is provided with a socket corresponding to the hardware insert 2, which is convenient for manual or mechanical hands to install the hardware insert 2. The front mold assembly includes a front template 16 and an insert 1. The insert 1 is arranged on the front template 16 and points to the hardware insert 2. After the mold is closed, the top of the hardware insert 2 is pressed and fixed by the insert 1.

[0025] The pressure needle bottom plate 14 is located between the base 15 and the rear template 11, and the distance between the pressure needle bottom plate 14 and the rear template 11 is changed by the telescopic driving device 10. In this embodiment, the telescopic driving device 10 is a cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the telescopic control is flexible. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic driving device 10 is fixed on the base 15, and the end portion is connected to the pressing needle bottom plate 14, and the pressing needle bottom plate 14 is directly pushed and pulled.

[0026] The press needle panel 13 is arranged on the top surface of the press needle base plate 14 and can be fixed by bolts. The press needle spring block 5 is arranged in the press needle base plate 14, and a guide groove corresponding to the press needle spring block 5 is arranged in the press needle base plate 14, which is conducive to the lifting and lowering of the press needle spring block 5. A first spring 4 is arranged at the bottom of the press needle spring block 5 to elastically support the press needle spring block 5. The press needle 3 is arranged on the top of the press needle spring block 5 and passes through the press needle panel 13 and points to the bottom surface of the hardware insert 2. The first spring 4 applies elastic pressure to the press needle spring block 5, the press needle 3 and the hardware insert 2, and cooperates with the insert 1 to position the hardware insert 2 to adapt to the height error problem of the hardware insert 2, reduce the processing cost of the hardware insert and the flashing problem of the product.

[0027] In order to prevent the first spring 4 from exerting too much pressure on the pressing needle 3 when the pressing needle bottom plate 14 moves forward, a limit adjustment structure is required for adjustment. The limit adjustment structure is arranged on the pressing needle panel 13 to limit the travel of the pressing needle bottom plate 14. In this embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the limit adjustment structure includes a limit column 6, a screw mounting block 7, a limit column adjustment slider 9 and a screw 8.

An inclined groove 19 is provided at the lower part of one side of the limit column 6, and a bending portion 20 penetrating the inclined groove 19 is provided on the limit column adjusting slider 9. By sliding the limit column adjusting slider 9, the height of the limit column 6 protruding above the needle pressing panel 13 is changed, so as to cooperate with the rear template 11 to limit the stroke of the needle pressing panel 13, and change the elastic pressure value applied by the first spring 4 to the needle pressing 3 and the hardware inlay 2, which can not only ensure that the requirements of the hardware inlay 2 are met, but also avoid the problem of damage to the needle pressing 3, the hardware inlay 2 and the inlay 1 due to excessive force, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
