[0055] As Figures 1-9 shown, an injection molding and assembly mold structure comprises:

[0056] The fixed mold plate 100 is fixed with the fixed mold insert 110 and the slider guide groove 120;

[0057] The movable mold plate 200 is fixed with the movable mold insert 210;

[0058] The floating plate 300 is assembled between the movable die plate 200 and the fixed die plate 100 in a floating manner through the guide column guide sleeve, and the movable die plate 200 and the fixed die plate 100 press the floating plate 300 when the mold is closed to form a closed cavity on the fixed die insert 110, the movable die insert 210 and the floating plate 300; the slider insert 310 moves to the middle part after the molded part in the closed cavity is formed and the movable die insert 210 is avoided to make the molded part snap-fit assembled.

[0059] Specifically, the slider insert 310 is arranged in the floating plate 300, and the bottom of both sides extends outward to form a limiting boss 314, the floating plate 300 is fixed with a pressing strip 330 on both sides of the slider insert 310, the pressing strip 330 is provided with a limiting step 331 below and overlaps the limiting boss 314, the slider insert 310 is further provided with a pressing rod 312 and a roller 313 arranged at the end of the pressing rod 312, the pressing rod 312 is arranged on the pressing strip 330 so that the pressing strip 330 is between the limiting boss 314 and the pressing rod 312, the pressing strip 330 can effectively support the slider insert 310, and the limiting step 331 and the limiting boss 314 slide with each other to limit the movement of the slider insert 310, so that the slider insert only makes linear reciprocating motion on a horizontal plane of the floating plate.

[0060] The slider insert 310 slides to the middle part when the mold is closed and is attached to the movable die insert 210, and the movable die insert 210, the fixed die insert 110 and the slider inserts 310 on both sides form a first closed cavity and a second closed cavity when the mold is closed, and the first closed cavity and the second closed cavity are used for injection molding of the first injection molded part and the second injection molded part which can be assembled, as shown in the figure, the end of the first injection molded part 51 and the second injection molded part 52 is respectively provided with a clamping or buckling unit 53, and the clamping or buckling unit is clamped and buckled when they are close to each other to make the two injection molded parts assembled to form an integral injection molded part 50. The injection molded part of the embodiment is a wall pipe part which is used to connect the pipe and the line between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and to prevent the damage of the wall surface caused by the through hole, and after injection molding, the first injection molded part and the second injection molded part are obtained, which are two halves of semicircular surfaces and are buckled through the middle part to form an integral wall pipe whole circle part. Figure 2

[0061] ​The end of the sliding insert 310 away from the movable die insert 210 is provided with a inclined pushing surface 311, and the fixed die plate 100 is provided with a inclined pushing limiting block 130 corresponding to the inclined pushing surface 311, so that the inclined pushing limiting block 130 abuts against the inclined pushing surface 311 when the mold is closed, and the sliding insert 310 is pushed against the movable die insert 210 by the action of the inclined pushing surface 311, and the sliding insert 310 is pushed to always adhere to the end of the movable die insert 210, and then the fixed die plate 110 is closed to form a closed cavity. When the mold is closed, the floating plate 300 moves towards the fixed die plate 100, effectively pushing the sliding insert 310 towards the fixed die plate 110, and pressing the sliding insert 310 and the fixed die plate 110. The present embodiment further limits the adhesion of the sliding insert 310 and the movable die insert 210 by the inclined pushing limiting block 130, and further limits the adhesion of the sliding insert 310 and the fixed die plate 110 by the pressing strip 330, which effectively guarantees the sealing of the closed cavity when the mold is closed.

[0062] The sliding block guide groove 120 is arranged in the floating plate 300, one end is fixed on the fixed die plate 100, and the other end extends towards the movable die plate 200 and is inclined at the end towards the middle. The sliding insert 310 rolls in the sliding block guide groove 120 through the roller 313, and when the roller 313 moves to the inclined section of the sliding block guide groove 120, it drives the sliding insert 310 to move towards the middle on the floating plate. The floating plate is also provided with a limiting column 320 at the end of the movement direction of the sliding insert, which is used to limit the stroke of the sliding insert. The bottom of the sliding insert is also provided with a positioning groove and an elastic limiting steel ball (not shown in the figure), which has a positioning function when the sliding insert moves towards the middle for assembling injection molded parts. Specifically, when the roller 313 slides to the bottom end of the sliding block guide groove 120 or slides out of the sliding block guide groove 120, the positions of the two sliding inserts 310 are just moved to make the first injection molded part 51 and the second injection molded part 52 assembled to form an integral injection molded part 50. At this time, the positioning groove is located at the position of the elastic limiting steel ball and makes the elastic limiting steel ball pop up, so that the sliding insert 310 is positioned at this position. When the next mold closing action is completed, the roller of the sliding insert enters the sliding block guide groove and makes the sliding insert move towards both sides, the bottom surface of the sliding insert starts to press the spherical surface of the elastic limiting steel ball to make it out of the positioning groove, thereby releasing the positioning at this position. It should be noted that the hemispherical groove and the elastic limiting steel ball arranged at the bottom of the sliding insert are standard parts and conventional technology of the mold.

[0063] The mold structure further comprises a limiting pull rod 220, one end of which is fixed on the movable die holder 230 behind the movable die plate 200, and the other end is a limiting protrusion 221, the floating plate 300 is provided with a limiting groove 340 corresponding to the position of the limiting protrusion 221, and the limiting protrusion 221 and the limiting groove 340 reserve a floating space between the floating plate 300 and the movable die plate 200 in the movement direction of the floating plate 300.

[0064] The mold structure further comprises a floating elastic member (not shown in the figure), which is assembled on the floating plate 300 and makes the floating plate 300 move away from or close to the fixed die plate 20 in the floating space under the pushing force of the floating elastic member or the external compression force.

[0065] The movable die insert 210 is provided with a ejector rod 410 in the middle, one end of which passes through the fixed die plate 200 and is connected with the top plate 400, and the other end is used to be pushed by the top plate 400 to extend from the movable die insert 210 and abut against the assembled injection molded part to make the injection molded part fall off from the slider insert 310.

[0066] The embodiment utilizes mold opening action to complete assembly, and forms an automatic circulation processing mode for injection molding, in-mold assembly, ejection reset, mold closing and re-injection molding, cancels the operation process of manual + tooling, and realizes the purpose of saving labor cost. Compared with the traditional technology, no additional peripheral machine equipment is needed, the cost is low; no oil cylinder is needed as power source, only the mold opening and closing actions of the conventional injection molding machine are needed, and the mold does not need to stop during the process to complete the in-mold assembly and reset, so that the mold cost is low and the efficiency is high.

[0067] The embodiment also provides an in-mold assembly method, which comprises:

[0068] The injection molding machine starts the injection molding action, the mold structure is closed to form a first closed cavity and a second closed cavity, and the injection molding and cooling molding are completed, so that a first injection molded part and a second injection molded part are obtained, the ends of the first injection molded part and the second injection molded part close to each other are respectively provided with a clamping or buckling unit, and the clamping or buckling unit is clamped and buckled to combine when close to each other, so that two injection molded parts are assembled to form an integral injection molded part. Figure 6 The mold structure in the state of the key part after mold closing is shown, and the mold opening action is performed after the mold structure is closed, injection molded and cooled.

[0069] In the mold opening action, the movable die plate retreats, the fixed die plate retreats to drive the movable die insert 210, the ejector rod 410 and the limiting pull rod to retreat, the floating plate keeps close to the fixed die plate under the pushing force of the floating elastic member and the reserved floating space, so that the slider insert 310 and the fixed die insert 110 are not moved, as shown in Figure 7The moving mold insert of the mold structure shown is separated from the bottom of the injection molded part, and the moving mold plate retreats to make the bottom of the injection molded part empty.

[0070] The limiting pull rod retreats with the fixed mold plate to make the limiting block compress the floating space in the limiting slot of the floating plate. When the limiting block compresses the floating space to the limit, the pulling force acting on the floating plate will overcome the pushing force of the floating elastic member, and then make the floating plate retreat with the fixed mold plate. The pulling of the floating plate starts to retreat, and the two side slider inserts on the floating plate and the two injection molded parts adsorbed on the slider inserts start to separate from the fixed mold insert as the floating plate retreats, and the top of the injection molded part is separated from the fixed mold insert and exposed.

[0071] The slider insert starts to move along the slider guide slot as the floating plate retreats. In the process of the left and right slider inserts retreating, the rollers slide to the inclined section of the slider guide slot, and the left and right slider inserts 310 move towards the middle in the floating plate and drive the first injection molded part and the second injection molded part to move towards each other. At this time, the two slider inserts are always kept in relative motion in the floating plate due to the limiting boss and the limiting step. As shown in Figure 8 The assembled state of the injection molded parts. When the roller 313 slides to the bottom end of the slider guide slot 120 or slides out, the first injection molded part and the second injection molded part are buckled and assembled at the middle, and an integral injection molded part 50 is assembled. At this time, the slider insert is positioned at this position due to the positioning slot and the elastic limiting ball. As shown in Figure 9 The state of the ejector rod ejecting the injection molded part. The ejection force is provided by the injection molding machine, the top plate drives the ejector rod 410 to eject from the fixed mold insert 210 to the injection molded part and make the injection molded part 50 fall off from the slider insert 310. After the ejector rod completes the ejection action, it is reset by the spring.

[0072] Prepare for the next clamping action. After the top plate drives the ejector rod to complete the ejection action, it is returned by the spring. The injection molding machine starts the clamping action again. As the moving mold plate starts to move towards the fixed mold plate, the roller always remains at the end or outlet of the slider guide slot due to the positioning of the slider insert in the positioning slot and the elastic limiting ball. When the floating plate moves towards the fixed mold plate, the roller enters the slider guide slot and drives the slider insert to move. The slider insert compresses the elastic limiting ball when moving towards the two sides to make it disengage from the positioning slot. The slider insert is reset, the floating plate is pressed back to the original position by the fixed mold plate, and the moving mold insert, the slider insert and the fixed mold insert form a closed cavity to complete the preparation work before the next injection molding.

[0073] The embodiment adopts a movable mold floating core-pulling demolding mode after injection molding, uses the mold opening force of an injection molding machine to drive the movement of a slider insert and the injection molded part to realize the assembly of the injection molded part in the mold, and achieves the effect that injection molding and assembly process are combined in one mold and can be completed without increasing external power sources such as oil cylinders and gas cylinders. The whole production process adopts a recyclable mode of injection molding-in-mold assembly-resetting-remodeling production, does not need the assistance of manual work, robots, and tooling, realizes fully automatic closed-loop production, and achieves the purpose of saving costs such as site, labor, and auxiliary machines.

[0074] The embodiment does not need external power sources such as oil cylinders and gas cylinders, the power source comes from the mold opening and closing force of the injection molding machine, can drive the movement of each part in the mold to complete the assembly of the wall pipe part and the resetting of each part of the mold, and achieves the purpose of saving costs. The all-mechanical structure optimizes the structure of oil cylinders and gas cylinders, realizes uninterrupted mold opening, assembly, and resetting actions, and has high production efficiency.

[0075] The above disclosure is only one or more of the preferred embodiments of the present application, which is used to help understand the inventive concept of the technical solution, and does not limit the present application in other forms. According to the limited features of the present application, the skilled in the art can make other equivalent or conventional means of replacement scheme, which still belongs to the scope covered by the present application.
