DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a new energy quick-sealing plug includes a base 1 and a plug end 4 located at the center of the base 1. The base 1 is in the shape of a regular hexagon, and the plug end 4 is cylindrical. The base 1 and the plug end 4 are an integrally formed structure. Three through-holes 5 for the wires to pass through are provided in the base 1 and the plug end 4. The through-holes 5 are in the shape of a square, and the three square through-holes 5 are distributed in a herringbone shape in the plug end 4 and the base 1. The inner walls of the plug end 4 and the base 1 respectively form fan-shaped and rectangular spaces with the herringbone-shaped through-holes 5 at the corresponding ends. The spaces in the plug end 4 are not connected to the spaces in the base 1, and the through-holes 5 in the plug end 4 are connected to the through-holes 5 in the base 1.

[0025] The surface where the base 1 connects to the plug end 4 is a seating surface 101. This surface 101 of the base 1 is provided with a sealing groove 2 for mounting a sealing ring. The sealing groove 2 is located at the periphery of the connection between the plug end 4 and the base 1. Eight protrusions 7 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the base 1, located around the periphery of the sealing groove 2. These protrusions 7 serve to stabilize the sealing ring within the sealing groove 2, and their height is consistent with that of the sealing groove 2.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the plug end 4 is provided with a circumferentially distributed raised ring 401. The portion above the ring 401 is the upper end of the plug end 4, and the portion below the ring is the lower end of the plug end 4. The outer circumference of the lower end of the plug end 4 is provided with multiple turns of thread 6. The circumference of the portion of the plug end 4 provided with multiple turns of thread 6 is greater than the circumference of the remaining portion of the plug end 4 not provided with multiple turns of thread 6.

[0027] An annular boss 3 is provided at the lower end of plug end 4, below the multi-turn thread 6, at the junction with base 1. This boss 3 forms a sealing groove 2 on base 1 during injection molding of the sealing plug. The height of boss 3 is 1-1.5 mm above the seating surface of base 1, with a total height of 1.22 mm.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mold assembly for producing the above-mentioned new energy quick sealing plug includes an upper mold 9, a lower mold 12, and a side mold 11. A cavity for injection molding of the sealing plug is formed between the upper mold 9, the lower mold 12 and the side mold 11. A plurality of vertically distributed inserts 13 are arranged in the cavity of the upper mold 9, the lower mold 12 and the side mold 11. The inserts 13 are used to form through holes 5 in the base 1 and the plug end 4.

[0029] An annular chute 10 is formed between the upper mold 9 and the lower mold 12, into which the side mold 11 slides. The side of the side mold 11 facing the cavity is provided with multiple racks distributed along the circumference. The racks are evenly spaced to allow the plug end 4 to be injection-molded to form multiple turns of thread 6. The other side of the side mold 11 is distributed toward the periphery, and the outer periphery of the side mold 11 is provided with a T-shaped pull rod 1101 to facilitate pulling the side mold 11 out of the annular chute 10.

[0030] like Figure 3 The technical solution of this application is similar to the Figure 5 Compared with the prior art shown in the figure, the upper mold 9 in the technical solution of the present application also includes an upper mold 901 and a bottom mold 902. The upper mold 901 is located above the bottom mold 902. The second parting line 16 between the upper mold 901 and the bottom mold 902 is set on the periphery of the base 1 to facilitate the separation and removal of the sealing plug from the mold assembly after the injection molding is completed.

[0031] The first parting line 15 between the bottom mold 902 and the side mold 11 is located on the table surface 301 of the boss 3. An annular insert 8 is provided at the bottom of the upper mold 901. This insert forms the sealing groove 2 on the base 1 of the sealing plug. A connecting portion 14 is provided on the bottom mold 902 between the seat surface 101 of the base 1 and the first parting line 15. One side of the connecting portion 14 connects to the bottom mold 902, and the other side connects to the annular insert 8. This facilitates direct injection molding of the sealing groove 2 on the base 1 during the production of the sealing plug, reducing the cost of secondary processing of the sealing groove 2 and improving the production efficiency of the sealing plug.

[0032] The specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows: First, the side mold 11 is slidably inserted into the annular chute 10, and the corresponding inserts 13 are then inserted into the mold cavity to form the injection mold. Next, the injection molding material is introduced into the mold cavity. Once the sealing plug is formed within the cavity, a worker controls a machine to lift the upper mold 901 on the upper mold 9. The side mold 11 is then slid out of the mold by pulling the pull rod 1101. Then, an ejector pin located below the lower mold 12 lifts the injection-molded sealing plug and removes it.
