[0024] Example 1

[0025] When producing injection molded products, sometimes it is necessary to have an undercut 12 on the non-penetrating side of the injection molded product. In this case, a sloping top structure is provided on the mold to demould the product undercut 12. However, the current method of detaching the sloping top from the undercut 12 still has shortcomings: since the position of the sloping top movement cannot be accurately controlled, the sloping top has an ejection movement during the movement, which can easily damage or strain the undercut 12 product.

[0026] In response to the above problems, the present embodiment discloses an undercut 12 demoulding device, comprising a slider 1 and a pull hook 2 arranged outside the slider 1, the slider 1 is inlaid with a first inclined top 3 and a second inclined top 4, the bottom of the first inclined top 3 and the bottom of the second inclined top 4 are both fixed on the same ejector plate 5, the top of the first inclined top 3 and the top of the second inclined top 4 both pass through the slider 1, the top end of the first inclined top 3 is constructed as a first hook 6, and the top end of the second inclined top 4 is constructed as a second hook 7, the first hook 6 and the second hook 7 can be hung on the slider 1 respectively, the undercut 12 is formed on the first hook 6, the second hook 7 can be buckled on the pull hook 2, the hook portion of the second hook 7 is close to the hook portion of the first hook 6, the slider 1 can push the second hook 7 to move along the hook surface 8 of the pull hook 2, wherein the inclined top is inclined to the side facing away from the undercut 12 product.

[0027] The mold opening operation process of the above-mentioned undercut 12 demolding device is: the slider 1 moves along the length direction of the inclined top, and the slider 1 generates a translational driving force for the inclined top, wherein the second hook 7 of the second inclined top 4 moves along the hook surface 8 of the pull hook 2, and under the limiting action of the pull hook 2, the second inclined top 4 can only move horizontally, and the second inclined top 4 drives the ejector plate 5 to move horizontally, thereby also driving the first inclined top 3 to move horizontally, so that the first hook 6 of the first inclined top 3 gradually moves horizontally out of the undercut 12, so as to avoid the first hook 6 from damaging or pulling the undercut 12 product.

[0028] In the demoulding device of the undercut 12 of the present embodiment, the bottom of the first inclined top 3 and the bottom of the second inclined top 4 are both fixed on the same ejector plate 5, and the top of the first inclined top 3 and the top of the second inclined top 4 both pass through the slider 1. Before opening the mold, the undercut 12 is formed on the first hook 6 of the first inclined top 3, and the second hook 7 of the second inclined top 4 is buckled on the draw hook 2. Since the second inclined top 4 is hooked by the draw hook 2, when the slider 1 moves along the inclined top, the thrust generated by the slider 1 on the inclined top only pushes the second inclined top 4 to move horizontally, that is, pushes the second hook 7 to move horizontally along the hook surface 8 of the draw hook 2, and at this time drives the first hook 6 to move horizontally out of the undercut 12 until the second hook 7 moves out of the hook surface 8 of the draw hook 2. Therefore, by controlling the stroke of the hook surface 8 of the draw hook 2, the movement distance of the first hook 6 can be accurately controlled to ensure that the first hook 6 moves horizontally out of the undercut 12 and then further detaches from the undercut 12 product, effectively avoiding the problem of the undercut 12 being damaged or pulled.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1As shown, the slider 1 is provided with a first inclined groove 9 and a second inclined groove 10 , the first inclined groove 9 and the second inclined groove 10 are parallel to each other, the first inclined top 3 is embedded in the first inclined groove 9 , and the second inclined top 4 is embedded in the second inclined groove 10 .

[0031] The first inclined top 3 is embedded in the first inclined groove 9, and the second inclined top 4 is embedded in the second inclined groove 10. On the one hand, the inclined groove facilitates the inclined top to be embedded in the slider 1, and on the other hand, when the slider 1 moves along the length of the inclined top, it can generate a driving force to push the inclined top to move horizontally.

[0032] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1 As shown, a cavity 11 is opened in the slider 1, and the ejector plate 5 is arranged in the cavity 11. The ejector plate 5 points to the inclined groove and can approach or move away from the inclined groove.

[0035] A cavity 11 is opened in the slider 1, and the first inclined ejector 3 and the second inclined ejector 4 are translated. Under the ejection action of the first inclined ejector 3 and the second inclined ejector 4, the ejector plate 5 can move in the cavity 11, thereby further driving the inclined ejector to disengage from the undercut 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, an insert (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outside of one end of the slider 1, the hook 2 is fixed on the insert, and the insert only points to the top of the first slanted top 3 and the top of the second slanted top 4 to abut against the top of the first slanted top 3 and the top of the second slanted top 4, and the other end of the slider 1 is detachably connected to a cover plate 13, and the cover plate 13 and the slider 1 constitute the cavity 11.

[0037] The insert can fix the draw hook 2. In addition, since the insert will not move with the slider 1, when the product with undercut 12 needs to be taken out and the mold needs to be closed, the first inclined top 3 and the second inclined top 4 are hung on the slider 1. When the slider 1 moves, it will drive the first inclined top 3 and the second inclined top 4 to move. When the first inclined top 3 and the second inclined top 4 move to abut against the insert, the first inclined top 3 and the second inclined top 4 stop moving. Here the slider 1 continues to move, and the slider 1 generates a translational thrust on the first inclined top 3 and the second inclined top 4, so that the second hook 7 of the second inclined top 4 is reset to the draw hook 2. Here the hook of the first inclined top 3 is also reset to the position where the undercut 12 is formed.

[0038] The cover plate 13 is convenient for forming a cavity 11 with the slider 1 to support the ejector plate 5 .

[0039] In this embodiment, a buffer spring 14 is provided between the cover plate 13 and the ejector plate 5 .

[0040] A buffer spring 14 is provided between the cover plate 13 and the ejector plate 5 to prevent the ejector plate 5 from having a distance collision with the cover plate 13 .

[0041] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 2 and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1 As shown, a limit block 15 is provided on the ejector plate 5 , and the ejector plate 5 can move in the cavity 11 . The limit block 15 moves with the ejector plate 5 and can abut against the slider 1 .

[0044] Since the limit block 15 is facing the inclined groove, when the second inclined lifter 4 is hooked by the pull hook 2 and the slider 1 continues to approach the ejector plate 5, the limit block 15 can support the slider 1 to prevent the first inclined lifter 3 and the second inclined lifter 4 from continuing to move. At this time, the first hook 6 of the first inclined lifter 3 and the second hook 7 of the second inclined lifter 4 are prevented from colliding with the slider 1 to avoid damaging the mold.

[0045] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 3 and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Example 5

[0047] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1 As shown, the hook 2 is an L-shaped hook 2 , and the second hook 7 is buckled on the flat hook surface 8 of the L-shaped hook 2 .

[0048] The L-shaped hook 2 can provide a relatively flat hook surface 8, thereby improving the efficiency of movement.

[0049] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Example 6

[0051] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1 As shown, an ejector pin 16 is fixed on the ejector plate 5 , and the ejector pin 16 passes through the slider 1 and can abut against the insert.

[0052] The ejector pin 16 passes through the slider 1 and can abut against the insert. When the ejector pin 16 abuts against the insert, the ejector plate 5 stops moving, and the first inclined ejector 3 and the second inclined ejector 4 can continue to move, so that only the slider 1 continues to move, thereby causing the slider 1 to translate and push the first inclined ejector 3 and the second inclined ejector 4 to reset.

[0053] In this embodiment, a middle thread 17 is provided on the slider 1 , and the middle thread 17 is located in the cavity 11 . The middle thread 17 points vertically to the ejector plate 5 , and the middle thread 17 can penetrate the ejector plate 5 , and the ejector plate 5 slides along the middle thread 17 .

[0054] The middle support wire 17 plays the role of guiding the ejector plate 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the mold.

[0055] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 3 and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Example 7

[0057] For ease of understanding, an embodiment of the undercut 12 demoulding device is provided below for illustration. In practical applications, Figure 1 As shown, the ejector plate 5 is provided with a first inclined ejector seat 18 and a second inclined ejector seat 19 , the first inclined ejector 3 is fixed to the ejector plate 5 via the first inclined ejector seat 18 , and the second inclined ejector 4 is fixed to the ejector plate 5 via the second inclined ejector seat 19 .

[0058] The first inclined roof seat 18 and the second inclined roof seat 19 provide installation positions for the first inclined roof 3 and the second inclined roof 4 respectively.

[0059] Other components and principles are the same as those in Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.
