Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of vehicle lamp forming, and relates to a multi-color multi-station mold. BACKGROUND

[0002] Some existing vehicle lamp products are transparent thick-walled parts, and one-time injection molding directly causes a long forming cycle, so the products are subjected to layered injection molding, and the more the layers are, the shorter the cycle is and the higher the production efficiency is. For example, if the product is divided into three layers, a three-color three-station injection molding machine is used to first inject one layer, then rotate by 120 DEG to inject the second layer, and then rotate by 120 DEG to inject the third layer. Therefore, the mold needs to have a rotating function, that is, a motor is designed on the mold to rotate the movable mold. When the first color product is solidified and formed, the movable mold needs to be rotated to change the cavity, so that the first color product enters the cavity for injection of the second color.

[0003] For example, a layered injection molding mold for thick-walled products disclosed in a patent document (application number: 201810157185.5) includes an upper mold, a lower mold, a rotating plate, a driving device, and a rotating device. At least one first injection cavity and at least one second injection cavity are arranged on the rotating plate. At least one first glue inlet and at least one second glue inlet are formed on the upper mold. The rotating plate is connected with a rotating shaft at the bottom. The rotating shaft passes through the lower mold and extends from the bottom of the lower mold. The driving device drives the rotating shaft to move up and down, thereby driving the rotating plate to move up and down. The rotating device drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate to rotate. After the first layer is injected, it is automatically rotated to the corresponding position for the second layer injection, thereby realizing the layered injection molding of the thick-walled product in the same mold. The mold changes the cavity by rotating the rotating plate provided with the cavity. Since multiple cavities need to be formed on the rotating plate, the area and thickness of the rotating plate are large. In addition, since the cavities are directly formed, the steel quality of the rotating plate is required to be high. These all result in a large weight of the rotating plate, which is supported on the rotating shaft and driven to lift and rotate by the rotating shaft. The large weight results in low rotation precision. In addition, long-term use causes large wear of the rotating parts on the rotating shaft, thereby reducing the overall reliability and precision and affecting the forming quality of the product. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to solve the problems of low rotation precision and low forming quality of the existing multi-station mold.

[0005] The purpose of the present application can be realized by the following technical solutions: a multi-color multi-station mold, comprising a fixed mold, a movable mold and a main shaft passing through the movable mold and capable of moving synchronously with the movable mold, wherein the fixed mold side has a plurality of fixed mold cavities distributed around the main shaft, and the movable mold side has a plurality of movable mold cavities distributed around the main shaft, characterized in that the end of the main shaft towards the fixed mold is fixed with a plurality of rotating cores uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, the rotating cores are columnar and are arranged radially along the main shaft, and the fixed mold cavities and the movable mold cavities each have a notch penetrating in the direction of the main shaft, when the movable mold and the fixed mold are in a closed mold state, the rotating cores are located between the fixed mold cavities and the movable mold cavities, and the two notches act on the outside of the rotating cores to form a closed injection cavity between the fixed mold cavities, the movable mold cavities and the rotating cores, and when the movable mold is in an open mold state, the main shaft can slide axially and rotate circumferentially relative to the movable mold.

[0006] When injecting a multi-color product, the movable mold and the fixed mold are in a closed mold state, and the rotating cores are arranged in the injection cavity through the two notches, the injection machine injects the first color molten plastic into one of the injection cavities, and after solidification, the first color product is formed, which wraps the rotating core positioned in the injection cavity, then the movable mold and the main shaft move away from the fixed mold synchronously to realize opening, then the main shaft moves towards the fixed mold relative to the movable mold, and the rotating core can take the first color product out of the movable mold, then the main shaft rotates the rotating core relative to the movable mold by a set angle, for example, if the mold is a three-color three-station mold, it rotates 120 degrees, so that the rotating core with the first color product rotates to the second color station, then the main shaft moves relative to the movable mold to reset, and then the mold is closed, so that the first color product is located in the second color injection cavity, the injection machine injects the second color molten plastic into the second color injection cavity, and the original first color injection cavity continues to inject the first color molten plastic, and after the second color product is solidified, the above process is repeated for the third color product injection, so that the injection of three colors of molten plastic is carried out at the same time, improving the production efficiency. The rotating core on the main shaft is connected, that is, the main shaft rotates the product through the rotating core to position the product and rotate to change the station, compared with the existing direct rotation of the movable mold or the mold plate to rotate the product to switch stations, the rotating core on the main shaft is columnar, small in volume and light in weight, but can position and support the product for rotation to change the station, so that the travel accuracy and position accuracy during rotation are higher, the driving force required is smaller due to the smaller load on the main shaft, the wear of the rotating parts on the main shaft is smaller during long-term use, the main shaft itself is more stable and has higher accuracy, and the forming quality of the product is improved.

[0007] In the multi-color multi-station mold, the fixed mold comprises a plurality of fixed mold inserts distributed around the main shaft, the fixed mold cavity is arranged on the fixed mold insert, the movable mold comprises a plurality of movable mold inserts distributed around the main shaft, the movable mold cavity is arranged on the movable mold insert, and the outer side surface of the rotating core has a gap between the inner wall of the fixed mold cavity and the movable mold cavity when the movable mold and the fixed mold are in the closed mold state. Compared with the fixed mold and the movable mold, the fixed mold insert and the movable mold insert have smaller volume, which facilitates higher precision processing of the fixed mold cavity and the movable mold cavity, improves product quality, and the gap between the rotating core and the inner wall of the fixed mold cavity and the movable mold cavity enables the product to be wrapped on the rotating core, and the positioning of the product by the rotating core is more stable. The opening of the fixed mold cavity and the movable mold cavity is opposite, which facilitates the product to be separated from the fixed mold cavity when the mold is opened and the product to be separated from the movable mold cavity when the main shaft moves axially relative to the movable mold.

[0008] In the multi-color multi-station mold, the one end of the rotating core is vertically fixed on the installation surface, and the other end can be inserted into the injection cavity.

When the movable mold and the fixed mold are closed, the inner peripheral surface of the two recesses is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the positioning convex edge, and the two are tapered surface matched, which can press the top plate against the installation surface to ensure the position accuracy of the top plate. The hole wall of the avoiding hole of the top plate and the inner peripheral surface of the positioning convex edge cooperate with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating core to ensure the position accuracy and stability of the rotating core, thereby avoiding the decrease in stability of the columnar rotating core due to the reduction of the load of the main shaft.

[0012] In the above multi-color multi-station mold, the mounting surface is provided with a mounting hole, and two fixing grooves are also provided on the mounting surface, the two fixing grooves are respectively located on both sides of the mounting hole, and both the two fixing grooves penetrate the mounting hole wall; the end of the rotating core facing the mounting seat is provided with two clamping grooves on the outer side; the end of the rotating core is inserted into the mounting hole, and the two clamping grooves are respectively opposite to the two fixing grooves; the fixing block is fixed in the fixing groove through a bolt; the fixing block is inserted into the clamping groove and tightly fixes the end of the rotating core in the mounting hole.
