[0063] When using a single-color mold, the single-color glue feed point 7261 must be free of air marks and material smears, ensuring that the translucent shell 2 is free of defects such as bubbles, black spots, and flow marks. This ensures the production quality of the translucent shell 2 and prevents defects in the translucent shell 2 from being visible through the fully transparent shell 1 of the two-color mold. The single-color mold utilizes a pinpoint-style side-to-side glue feed method, which helps reduce the material temperature at the connection point between the single-color glue feed channel 726 and the single-color molding cavity 725. The pressure generated by the material flowing in the single-color glue feed channel 726 at the connection point between the single-color glue feed channel 726 and the single-color molding cavity 725 prevents deformation of the molded translucent shell 2, thus ensuring the production quality of the two-color shell.

[0064] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The single-color glue feed channel 726 includes a single-color glue feed point 7261 and a single-color runner 7262. The single-color glue feed point 7261 is located in the single-color front mold boss 7242. The single-color glue feed point 7261 has a first glue feed outlet 72611 and a first glue feed inlet 72612. The first glue feed outlet 72611 is connected to the single-color molding cavity 725; the single-color runner 7262 includes a first part 72621 and a second part 72622. The first part 72621 is located in the single-color front mold boss 7242, and the second part 72622 is located in the single-color front mold mounting seat 7241.

[0065] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 To further reduce deformation of the molded translucent shell 2, the single-color glue feed channel 726 also includes a single-color side glue feed groove 7263. This is located on the single-color rear mold insert 723, with a first glue feed outlet 72611 facing the notch of the single-color side glue feed groove 7263. The single-color side glue feed groove 7263 is connected to the single-color molding cavity 725 and is located to one side in the depth direction of the molding groove 72421. The single-color side glue feed groove 7263 further ensures that the feed point of the single-color molding cavity 725 is free of air marks and material splinters, thereby ensuring the production quality of the two-color shell.

[0066] Specifically, the single-color glue inlet point 7261 and the single-color flow channel 7262 form a first linear channel, which is arranged vertically. Preferably, the first linear channel is a first tapered channel, having a large end and a small end, and the small end of the first tapered channel is connected to the side glue inlet point 82511.

[0067] In order to facilitate the use of the one-color mold, the one-color mold core 72 is provided with one, the one-color upper mold 711 includes a one-color upper mold assembly 7111 and a one-color nozzle 7112, the one-color nozzle 7112 is arranged on the one-color upper mold assembly 7111, and the one-color upper mold assembly 7111 is provided with a one-color upper mold channel (not shown in the figure), and the discharge port of the one-color nozzle 7112 is connected to the second part 72622 through the one-color upper mold channel.

[0068] To improve the molding efficiency of the translucent shell 2, two single-color mold cores 72 are provided. The single-color upper mold 711 includes a single-color upper mold assembly 7111 and a single-color nozzle 7112. The single-color nozzle 7112 is mounted on the single-color upper mold assembly 7111. The single-color upper mold assembly 7111 is provided with a single-color upper mold channel (not shown). The discharge port of the single-color nozzle 7112 communicates with the two second portions 72622 through the single-color upper mold channel. Compared to using two independent molding dies to mold the two translucent shells 2 separately, this single-color mold is more cost-effective.

[0069] Specifically, the single-color nozzle 7112 is used to connect to the nozzle (not shown in the figure) of a single-color injection molding machine (not shown in the figure), and the single-color injection molding machine simultaneously feeds glue to the two single-color molding cavities 725 through the single-color nozzle 7112, the single-color upper mold channel, and the single-color glue feed channel 726.

[0071] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7The present invention also provides a two-color mold, which is used for molding a fully transparent shell 1 of a two-color shell. The two-color mold includes a mold core installation component and a two-color mold core 82; the mold core installation component includes a two-color upper mold 811 and a two-color lower mold 812, and the two-color mold core 82 is located between the two-color upper mold 811 and the two-color lower mold 812; the two-color mold core 82 includes a first two-color slider 821, a second two-color slider 822, a two-color rear mold insert 823 and a two-color The front mold core 824; the two-color rear mold insert 823 is located between the first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822; the two-color front mold core 824 includes a two-color front mold mounting seat 8241 and a two-color front mold boss 8242 fixed on the two-color front mold mounting seat 8241, the two-color front mold boss 8242 is located between the first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822, and the two-color front mold boss 8242 is arranged opposite to the two-color rear mold insert 823. The two-color rear mold insert 823 is used to contact the translucent shell 2 of the two-color shell; the first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822 are used to approach the two-color front mold boss 8242 and the two-color rear mold insert 823 to clamp the translucent shell 2, and the first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822 are used to move away from the two-color front mold boss 8242 and the two-color rear mold insert 823 to release the translucent shell 2; a molding groove 82421 is provided on the two-color front mold boss 8242, and the molding groove 82421 is used to form a two-color molding cavity 825 between the clamped translucent shell 2, and the two-color molding cavity 825 is used to mold the fully transparent shell 1 of the two-color shell; a two-color glue feed channel 8251 is provided on the two-color front mold core 824, and one end of the two-color glue feed channel 8251 is connected to one side of the depth direction of the molding groove 82421, and the other end of the two-color glue feed channel 8251 is located at the two-color front mold core 824.

[0072] The two-color mold utilizes a pinpoint, side-by-side glue injection method, which helps reduce the material temperature at the junction between the two-color glue flow channel 8251 and the molding groove 82421. The pressure exerted by the material flowing within the two-color glue flow channel 8251 on the junction between the two-color glue flow channel 8251 and the molding groove 82421 prevents the translucent shell 2 located on the two-color rear mold insert 823 from being punctured or deformed by the material in the molding groove 82421, thus ensuring the production quality of the two-color shells and the uniformity of the light source passing through the fully transparent shell 1. Because the translucent shell is formed first, color mixing between the fully transparent shell 1 and the translucent shell 2 is less likely to occur.

[0073] When using a two-color mold, the translucent shell 2 is placed on the two-color rear mold insert 823. The first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822 are both close to the two-color rear mold insert 823. The first two-color slider 821 and the second two-color slider 822 approaching each other clamp the translucent shell 2 on the two-color rear mold insert 823, ensuring that the material in the molding groove 82421 is molded into a fully transparent shell 1 on the translucent light-emitting portion 22 of the translucent shell 2.

[0074] Specifically, the translucent light-entering portion 21 of the translucent housing 2 contacts the two-color rear mold insert 823 .

[0075] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The two-color glue feed channel 8251 includes a side glue feed point 82511, a two-color glue feed point 82512 and a two-color runner 82513.

The side glue feed point 82511 has a side glue feed outlet 825111 and a side glue feed inlet 825112. The side glue feed point 82511 is located in the two-color front mold boss 8242. The side glue feed outlet 825111 is connected to the two-color molding cavity 825; the two-color glue feed point 82512 has a two-color glue feed outlet and a two-color glue feed inlet. The glue outlet is connected to the side glue inlet 825112; the two-color flow channel 82513 includes a first flow channel part 825131 and a second flow channel part 825132, the first flow channel part 825131 is located in the two-color front mold boss 8242, and the second flow channel part 825132 is located in the two-color front mold mounting seat 8241. The first flow channel part 825131 is connected to the two-color glue inlet, one end of the second flow channel part 825132 is connected to the end of the first flow channel part 825131 away from the two-color glue inlet, and the other end of the second flow channel part 825132 passes through the two-color front mold mounting seat 8241.

[0076] The coordination of side glue point 82511, two-color glue point 82512, and two-color runner 82513 enables pinpoint-style side glue feeding in a two-color mold. Second runner portion 825132 ensures that material outside the two-color mold core 82 enters the glue feed runner. Two-color glue point 82512 connects two-color runner 82513 with side glue point 82511.

[0077] Specifically, the two-color glue inlet point 82512 and the two-color flow channel 82513 form a second linear channel, which is arranged vertically. Preferably, the second linear channel is a second tapered channel having a large end and a small end, the small end of which is connected to the side glue inlet point 82511. When material outside the two-color mold core 82 enters the second tapered channel, the material inside the second tapered channel slowly flows into the side glue inlet point 82511, further ensuring that the translucent shell 2 on the two-color rear mold insert 823 is not scratched.

[0078] In order to improve the ease of use of the two-color mold, a two-color mold core 82 is provided. The two-color upper mold 811 includes a two-color upper mold assembly 8111 and a two-color nozzle 8112. The two-color nozzle 8112 is arranged on the two-color upper mold assembly 8111. The two-color upper mold assembly 8111 is provided with a two-color upper mold channel (not shown in the figure). The discharge port of the two-color nozzle 8112 is connected to the second flow channel part 825132 through the two-color upper mold channel.

The two-color upper mold assembly 8111 is provided with a two-color upper mold channel (not shown). The discharge port of the two-color nozzle 8112 communicates with the two second flow channel portions 825132 through the two-color upper mold channel. Compared to using two independent molding dies to mold two fully transparent shells 1 separately, this two-color mold is more cost-effective.

[0080] Specifically, the two-color nozzle 8112 is used to connect to the nozzle (not shown) of a two-color injection molding machine (not shown). The two-color injection molding machine simultaneously feeds glue into two two-color molding cavities 825 through the two-color nozzle 8112, the two-color upper mold channel, and the two two-color glue feed channels 8251. The material in the two-color injection molding machine flows into the two-color nozzle 8112 through the nozzle, and the material in the two-color nozzle 8112 flows into the second flow channel portion 825132 through the two-color upper mold channels.

[0081] Specifically, the first two-color slider 821, the second two-color slider 822, the two-color rear mold insert 823 and the two-color front mold boss 8242 are located in the two-color front mold mounting seat 8241; preferably, the two-color front mold mounting seat 8241 is provided with a second mounting groove 82411, the first two-color slider 821, the second two-color slider 822, the two-color rear mold insert 823 and the two-color front mold boss 8242 are located in the second mounting groove 82411, and the two-color front mold boss 8242 is fixed to the bottom of the second mounting groove 82411.
