DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and distinct, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] Light guide plate injection molds typically include a movable mold and a fixed mold. When the movable and fixed molds are opened and closed, several precisely matched moving cavity parts within them typically engage in relative sliding surface contact. However, this surface-contact sliding structure often results in excessive resistance and is prone to mutual damage between the moving cavity parts. To mitigate the problem of surface-contact sliding between the moving cavity parts, prior art techniques typically create gaps between the moving cavity parts and insert needle rollers within the gaps. However, the needle rollers are free between the moving cavity parts, resulting in a chaotic and uncontrollable positioning of the multiple needle rollers, which in turn reduces the product precision of the light guide plate injection mold. Based on the problem of messy positions between multiple needle rollers in the light guide plate injection mold in the prior art, the present invention provides a needle roller injection molding retainer, a needle roller structure and a light guide plate injection mold. By arranging a needle roller placement groove for fixing the needle roller on the retainer body, a plurality of needle rollers can be integrated on the needle roller injection molding retainer, so that the multiple needle rollers can maintain and regularize relative positions under the action of the retainer body, forming a stable contact surface, thereby improving the injection molding accuracy of the light guide plate injection mold, and at the same time, achieving line contact between the moving cores through multiple needle rollers, reducing the running resistance between the running cores, improving the protection effect of the needle rollers on the moving cavity parts, and improving the service life of the light guide plate injection mold. For details, please refer to the following embodiments.
