Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of molds, and in particular to a molding component, a mold using the molding component, and an injection molding system using the mold. Background Art
[0002] At present, in order to improve the processing efficiency of products, more and more products choose to be injection molded through molds, which makes molds an important part of the industry. However, there are still some areas that need improvement in the molds in the current industry. For example: when a hole structure is formed on a product, the current common practice is to directly process a protrusion in the molding cavity on the fixed mold or movable mold in the molding component of the mold, so as to mold the hole structure on the product through the protrusion. At this time, the fixed mold or movable mold in the molding component will make the structure of the molding component more complicated and inconvenient to process directly due to the formation of the protrusion, which makes the manufacturing of the mold more inconvenient. At the same time, when there are other hole bodies or groove body structures connected to the hole in the product, it is necessary to set a corresponding slider or bevel structure in the mold to form the hole body or groove body. In addition, the slider or bevel in the mold needs to abut and cooperate with the protrusion. At this time, the raised portion is fixed, so that the slider or the bevel tip is in hard contact with the raised portion, and then during the movement of the slider or the bevel tip, there will be greater friction with the raised portion, which will easily cause greater wear between the two and affect the service life of the mold. Summary of the Invention

[0013] When the first mold body and the second mold body are in contact, one end of the mounting member can be driven to rotate by the second mold body, so that the other end of the mounting member drives the insert to move in a direction close to the molding cavity.
[0014] Optionally, the mounting member includes:
[0015] a main body section, the main body section being rotatably disposed on the first mold body;
[0016] a mounting section connected to one end of the main section and arranged at an angle to the main section, wherein an end of the insert away from the molding cavity is arranged on the mounting section; and
[0017] The abutting section is connected to the end of the main section away from the installation section and is arranged at an angle to the main section. The end of the abutting section away from the main section can be abutted and driven by the second mold body.
[0018] Optionally, the first mold body is provided with a movable channel, a first channel, and a second channel and a third channel respectively connected to both ends of the first channel; one end of the movable channel is connected to the molding cavity, an end of the second channel away from the first channel is connected to an end of the movable channel away from the molding cavity, and an end of the third channel away from the first channel passes through a side of the first mold body facing the second mold body;

[0020] Optionally, the first channel runs through a side of the first mold body facing away from the second mold body, the first mold body is provided with a fixing piece, a portion of the fixing piece is arranged corresponding to the first channel, and the main body segment is rotatably provided on the fixing piece.
[0021] Optionally, the molding assembly further comprises an elastic member, which is provided between the first mold body and the mounting member to drive the mounting member to rotate in a direction away from the mounting member abutted and driven by the second mold body.

[0023] The present invention also provides an injection molding system, comprising:
[0024] Injection molding machines; and

[0026] When the molding assembly of the technical solution of the present invention is applied to a mold, the molding cavity formed by the movable mold and the fixed mold in the molding assembly can be used to mold a product of the desired shape.

Moreover, it is particularly important that the molding assembly in this solution uses an insert that is independent of the fixed mold and the movable mold to complete the molding of the hollow structure on the product. At this time, compared with the mold in the related art that directly processes a protrusion on the fixed mold or the movable mold to mold the hollow structure on the product, the molding assembly in this solution can manufacture the insert separately from the fixed mold or the movable mold and then assemble them together. When the insert is separated from the fixed mold or the movable mold, the respective structures can be simplified and conveniently processed and molded, which is conducive to improving the convenience of mold manufacturing. At the same time, the insert in the molding assembly in this solution can also be moved relative to the fixed mold or the movable mold. In this way, when the mold is used in a product and there are other hole bodies or groove structures connected to the hole structure, that is, there are also sliders or bevel structures in the mold that abut against the inserts to perform molding processing on other hole bodies or groove structures. Since the insert is movably arranged, the insert can move adaptively during the movement of the slider or bevel, and will not apply a large force to the moving slider or bevel structure, and will not cause large friction and lead to large wear, which is beneficial to extend the service life of the mold. Therefore, by providing a movable insert in the molding assembly in this solution, the convenience of mold manufacturing can be improved, and the service life of the mold can be extended.

[0036] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0039] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0040] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B as an example", it includes solution A, or solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0041] Injection molds are tools used to produce plastic products and give them their precise structure and dimensions. Injection molding is a process used in the mass production of complex components. Specifically, molten plastic is injected into a mold cavity under high pressure using an injection molding machine. After cooling and solidification, the resulting molded product is formed. Due to its relatively high production efficiency, an increasing number of products are being molded using molds, making molds a crucial component of industry.
[0042] However, despite the current widespread use of molds and their gradual improvement, there are still some areas in which molds in the current industry need to be improved. For example, when a hole structure is formed on a product, the current common practice is to directly process a protrusion in the molding cavity on the fixed mold or movable mold in the molding assembly of the mold, so as to mold the hole structure on the product through the protrusion. At this time, the protrusion and the fixed mold or movable mold are an integral structure, which makes the structure of the molding assembly more complicated and inconvenient to process directly, and thus makes the mold manufacturing more inconvenient. At the same time, when there are other hole bodies or groove body structures in the product that are connected to the hole, a corresponding slider or bevel structure needs to be set in the mold to form the hole body or groove body. In addition, the slider or bevel in the mold needs to be in contact with the protrusion. In this case, the raised portion is integrally fixed to the fixed or movable mold, causing the slider or bevel structure to rigidly abut against the raised portion. Consequently, during movement of the slider or bevel, significant friction occurs between the raised portion and the raised portion, causing significant wear and tear between the two, shortening the mold's service life. This means that molds in the related art suffer from drawbacks such as inconvenience in manufacturing and susceptibility to damage.
[0043] Therefore, based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problems of inconvenient manufacturing and low life of the mold, the present application proposes a new type of molding component used in the mold. The molding component innovatively uses an insert that is independent of the fixed mold or the movable mold to perform molding processing on the holes on the product to improve the convenience of mold manufacturing; at the same time, the insert is further set to be movable to reduce the wear of subsequent inserts and the slider or bevel structure in the mold, which is beneficial to extend the service life of the mold.
[0044] Of course, it should be noted that the molding assembly proposed in this application is obviously not limited to applications where a slider or bevel structure is provided in the mold. The molding assembly in this application can also be used when the mold does not have a slider or bevel structure. In other words, the molding assembly in this application can be used whenever a hole structure is formed on the product and needs to be processed and formed. In this case, because the insert is movable, when the movable mold and the fixed mold in the molding assembly are separated, the insert can be moved and separated from the hole structure on the product in advance. Then, when the movable mold is subsequently moved into place, the push rod assembly in the mold is used to separate the insert and the hole structure on the product during the process of pushing out the product retained on the movable mold. In this way, the push rod assembly can push the product quickly with a relatively small thrust, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of removing the product from the mold, thereby improving the production efficiency of the product.
[0045] Next, the specific structure of the molding assembly proposed in this application will be introduced and explained in detail. In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The molding assembly 100 includes a fixed mold 10, a movable mold 20, and an insert 30. The movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 enclose a molding cavity 21. At least one of the fixed mold 10 and the movable mold 20 is provided with the insert 30. The insert 30 is partially located in the molding cavity 21 and is movable relative to the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20.
[0046] The fixed mold 10 can be used to form a part of the molding cavity 21. Among them, when the fixed mold 10 is actually used in the mold, since the end of the mold close to the fixed mold 10 needs to be connected to the injection molding machine, the fixed mold 10 is set in a fixed manner. In addition, the fixed mold 10 can include a fixed plate and a fixed mold 10 core installed on the fixed plate, so that the important structure of the molding cavity 21 can be formed by the fixed mold 10 core made of relatively good material. Of course, the fixed mold 10 can also include only the fixed plate, in which case the fixed plate can be used to form the molding cavity 21. In addition, the shape of the fixed mold 10 can be a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube structure, so that the shape of the fixed mold 10 is more regular and easier to process and form. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixed mold 10 can also be a cylindrical or other shaped structure. In short, it is sufficient to ensure that the fixed mold 10 can be used to form a part of the molding cavity 21. The present application does not make any specific restrictions on its structural components and shapes.
[0047] The movable mold 20 can also be used to form a portion of the molding cavity 21 and cooperate with the fixed mold 10 to form the complete molding cavity 21. The specific shape of the molding cavity 21 can be adaptively set according to the shape of the product to be processed. Among them, when the movable mold 20 is actually used in the mold, since the end of the mold close to the movable mold 20 needs to be moved to separate from the fixed mold 10 and remove the product in the molding cavity 21, the movable mold 20 is configured to be movable. In addition, the movable mold 20 can include a movable platen and a movable mold core 20 mounted on the movable platen, so that the important structure of the molding cavity 21 is formed by the movable mold core 20 made of relatively good material. Of course, the movable mold 20 can also include only the movable platen, in which case the movable platen can be used to form the molding cavity 21. In addition, the shape of the movable mold 20 can be a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube structure, so that the shape of the movable mold 20 is relatively regular and easy to process and form. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the movable mold 20 can also be a cylindrical or other shaped structure. In short, it is sufficient to ensure that the movable mold 20 can be used to form a part of the molding cavity 21. The present application does not impose any specific restrictions on its structural components and shapes.
[0048] The insert 30 can be provided only on the movable mold 20, or can be provided only on the fixed mold 10, or can be provided on both the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10. The specific setting can be adaptively adjusted according to the holes that need to be formed on the product. For example, when the fixed mold 10 and the fixed mold 10 are arranged in sequence along the up and down directions, a hole that needs to be formed is provided at the bottom of the product to be formed, and then an insert 30 can be provided on the movable mold 20 to form the hole structure; when a hole that needs to be formed is provided at the top of the product to be formed, then an insert 30 can be provided on the fixed mold 10 to form the hole structure. Therefore, the present application does not limit the location and number of the insert 30. In addition, the shape of the insert 30 can be a square column, a cylinder, or other shapes. The fact that part of the insert 30 is located in the molding cavity 21 means that after the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 cooperate to form the molding cavity 21, part of the insert 30 is set in the molding cavity 21 so that the mold can perform normal injection molding. Therefore, the insert 30 can be partially embedded in the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20, that is, part of it is exposed in the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20. Of course, the insert 30 can also be embedded in the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20 as a whole, and then exposed in the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20 by movement. That is, the present application does not limit the initial setting state of the insert 30 on the movable mold 20 or the fixed mold 10. After the molding cavity 21 is enclosed and formed, part of the insert 30 can be in the molding cavity 21. In addition, the movement of the insert 30 can be driven by the fixed mold 10 and the movable mold 20 in the molding assembly 100 when they are in contact. Of course, it is also possible to drive the insert 30 by additionally providing a drive structure such as a cylinder. Alternatively, an elastic structure can be provided between the insert 30 and the movable fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20. When the slider 90 or inclined tip structure provided in the mold moves, the insert 30 can be squeezed and driven, and the elastic structure can be compressed. In this case, when the insert 30 moves up and down, the slider 90 or inclined tip structure can move horizontally to form the hole or groove structure on the side of the product. Therefore, this application does not limit the source of power for the movement of the insert 30; it is sufficient that it can move.
[0049] When the molding assembly 100 of the technical solution of the present application is used in a mold, the molding cavity 21 formed by the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 in the molding assembly 100 can be used to mold the desired shape of the product. At the same time, the insert 30 extending into the molding cavity 21 can be used to mold the cavity on the product, thereby completing the injection molding structure of the product. Moreover, it is particularly important that the molding assembly 100 in this solution uses the insert 30 independent of the fixed mold 10 and the movable mold 20 to complete the molding of the cavity structure on the product. At this time, compared with the mold in the related art that directly forms a protrusion on the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20 to mold the cavity structure on the product, the molding assembly 100 in this solution can manufacture the insert 30 separately from the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20 and then assemble them together. When the insert 30 is separated from the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20, the respective structures can be simplified and conveniently processed and molded, thereby improving the convenience of mold manufacturing. At the same time, the insert 30 in the molding assembly 100 in this solution can also be moved relative to the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20. In this way, when the mold is used in a product and there are other hole bodies or groove structures connected to the hole structure, that is, there is a slider 90 or a bevel structure in the mold that abuts against the insert 30 to perform molding processing on other hole bodies or groove structures. Since the insert 30 is movably arranged, the insert 30 can move adaptively during the movement of the slider 90 or the bevel, and will not apply a large force to the moving slider 90 or the bevel structure, and will not cause large friction and cause large wear, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the mold. Therefore, by providing a movable insert 30 in the molding assembly 100 in this solution, the convenience of mold manufacturing can be improved, and the service life of the mold can be extended.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, when the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 are in contact, the insert 30 can move in a direction close to the molding cavity 21; when the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 are separated, the insert 30 can move in a direction away from the molding cavity 21.
[0051] The movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 are in contact, that is, when the mold is closed, and the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 are separated, that is, when the mold is opened. Among them, when the fixed mold 10 and the movable mold 20 are arranged in sequence in the up and down directions, when the mold is closed, the insert 30 can move upward to a preset position. For example: it can be moved upward to a hole structure that can be formed and processed to the required depth; or when the mold further includes a slider 90 or a bevel structure, the insert 30 can be moved upward to abut against the slider 90 or the bevel structure. When the mold is opened, the insert 30 can be moved downward to a preset position. For example: it can be moved downward to be located outside the molding cavity 21; or when the mold further includes a slider 90 or a bevel structure, the insert 30 can be moved downward to be separated from the slider 90 or the bevel structure. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit the moving distance of the insert 30.
[0052] In this embodiment, the insert 30 is configured to move toward and away from the molding cavity 21 during mold closing and mold opening, respectively. This allows the insert 30 to be promptly moved away from the molding cavity 21 as long as the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 are separated but not in contact. In this case, the slider 90 or the slant tip structure in the mold will not abut against the insert 30 during mold closing and mold opening, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of wear and damage to the insert 30 and the slider 90 or the slant tip structure, thereby further extending the service life of the mold. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the insert 30 is extrusion-driven by the slider 90 or the slant tip structure as described above, the insert 30 can be extruded and moved away from the molding cavity 21 during both mold closing and mold opening.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, one of the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 is defined as the first mold body 40, and the other is defined as the second mold body 50; the insert 30 is provided in the first mold body 40 and can be driven by the second mold body 50, so that when the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 are in contact, the insert 30 can move in a direction close to the molding cavity 21.
[0054] The first mold body 40 serves as one of the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10, while the second mold body 50 serves as the other. That is, when the first mold body 40 serves as the movable mold 20, the second mold body 50 serves as the fixed mold 10; and when the first mold body 40 serves as the fixed mold 10, the second mold body 50 serves as the movable mold 20. The insert 30 is located within the first mold body 40 and can be driven by the second mold body 50. That is, when the insert 30 is located within one of the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10, during mold closing, the insert 30 can be driven by the contact with the other mold body, thereby moving the insert 30 toward the molding cavity 21.
[0055] In this embodiment, the insert 30 is configured to be abutted and driven by the second mold body 50 during mold closing. This, on the one hand, ensures timely mold closing and improves mold operating efficiency. On the other hand, this eliminates the need for an additional structure to drive the insert 30, and directly and cleverly utilizes the first mold closing abutment process between the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50. This eliminates the need for circuitry or air circuitry, allowing for a simpler mechanical structure. This simplifies the mold structure and further enhances its manufacturing convenience. This configuration also improves mold stability. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, a sensor may be provided. When the sensor detects mold closing, it transmits a mold closing signal to a drive structure, which then drives the insert 30 toward the molding cavity 21. When the sensor detects mold opening, it transmits a mold opening signal to the drive structure, which then drives the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the molding assembly 100 further includes a mounting member 60, which is rotatably disposed on the first mold body 40; when the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 abut against each other, one end of the mounting member 60 can be driven to rotate by the second mold body 50, so that the other end of the mounting member 60 drives the insert 30 to move in a direction close to the molding cavity 21.
[0057] The mounting member 60 can be used as a transmission structure to transmit the abutment drive of the second mold body 50 to the insert 30, thereby enabling the second mold body 50 to drive the insert 30 to move in a direction close to the molding cavity 21 when the mold is closed. Among them, the mounting member 60 can be as described below, including a main body section 61, a mounting section 63 and an abutment section 65, roughly forming a U-shaped structure. Of course, the mounting member 60 can also be a structure that only includes two sections, the abutment section 65 and the main body section 61, roughly forming an L-shaped structure. Alternatively, the mounting member 60 only includes one section, the main body section 61, and the second mold body 50 is provided with an abutment mechanism that can abut against the section. That is, the present application does not limit the specific shape structure of the mounting member 60, and it is sufficient that it can transmit the abutment drive of the second mold body 50 to the insert 30.
[0058] In this embodiment, the rotatable mounting member 60 forms a "seesaw" structure. Specifically, when one end of the mounting member 60 is abutted and driven to rotate by the second mold body 50, the other end of the mounting member 60 can rotate toward the molding cavity 21, thereby driving the insert 30 toward the molding cavity 21, thereby achieving mold closing. In this case, the "transmission structure" formed by the mounting member 60 is relatively simple, facilitating mold design and further improving mold manufacturing convenience. Furthermore, when one end of the mounting member 60 is abutted and driven to rotate by the second mold body 50, the other end of the mounting member 60 simultaneously rotates in the opposite direction, enabling timely and efficient conversion of the abutting driving force of the second mold body 50 into drive for the insert 30, thereby achieving timely and effective drive of the insert 30. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the mounting member 60 may also include a first vertical section and a second horizontal section. The first vertical section may be arranged on the first mold body 40 so as to be liftable, and the second horizontal section may be arranged on the second mold body 50 so as to be horizontally movable. At the same time, one end of the second horizontal section is fitted with the first vertical section in an inclined plane, and the other end of the second horizontal section is also fitted with the lower end of the insert 30 in an inclined plane. When the first vertical section is driven downward by the second mold body 50, the inclined plane fits between the first vertical section and the second horizontal section, thereby driving the second horizontal section to move horizontally in a direction close to one end of the insert 30. At the same time, the end of the second horizontal section away from the first vertical section is fitted with the lower section of the insert 30 in an inclined plane. Thus, during the horizontal movement of the second horizontal section, the inclined plane fits the insert 30 upward.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 60 includes a main body section 61, a mounting section 63 and an abutting section 65. The main body section 61 is rotatably disposed on the first mold body 40; the mounting section 63 is connected to one end of the main body section 61 and is arranged at an angle to the main body section 61, and the end of the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21 is arranged on the mounting section 63; the abutting section 65 is connected to one end of the main body section 61 away from the mounting section 63 and is arranged at an angle to the main body section 61. The end of the abutting section 65 away from the main body section 61 can be abutted and driven by the second mold body 50.
[0060] When the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 are arranged in the up-down direction, the main body section 61 can be arranged in the horizontal direction, and the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 can both be arranged in the up-down direction and located on the same side of the main body section 61, for example: located on the upper side or the lower side of the main body section 61.
[0061] In this embodiment, the mounting member 60 is configured to be composed of a main body section 61, a mounting section 63, and an abutting section 65. This allows the mounting member 60 to be rotatably connected via the main body section 61, to be used to mount the insert 30 via the mounting section 63, and to be driven by the second mold body 50 during mold closing via the abutting section 65. Thus, the various components of the mounting member 60 effectively achieve the required functions of the mounting member 60, namely, mounting and transmission functions. Furthermore, the structure of the mounting member 60 is relatively simple, which facilitates its manufacture.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, the first mold body 40 is provided with a movable channel 41, a first channel 43, and a second channel 45 and a third channel 47 respectively connected to the two ends of the first channel 43; one end of the movable channel 41 is connected to the molding cavity 21, the end of the second channel 45 away from the first channel 43 is connected to the end of the movable channel 41 away from the molding cavity 21, and the end of the third channel 47 away from the first channel 43 passes through the side of the first mold body 40 facing the second mold body 50; the insert 30 is arranged in the movable channel 41, the main body section 61 is arranged in the first channel 43, the installation section 63 is arranged in the second channel 45, and the abutment section 65 is arranged in the third channel 47.
[0063] In this embodiment, the movable channel 41 can be used to accommodate the insert 30 and also guide it, thereby facilitating improved stability during the movement of the insert 30, facilitating accurate subsequent processing and molding of the product. The first channel 43, the second channel 45, and the third channel 47 can respectively accommodate the main section 61, the mounting section 63, and the abutment section 65 of the mounting member 60, thereby facilitating improved compactness when the mounting member 60 is installed on the first mold body 40, thereby reducing the overall volume of the mold. Furthermore, such an arrangement can also reduce the volume of the mounting member 60, thereby saving raw materials and reducing manufacturing costs. It should be noted that the cross-sections of the first channel 43, the second channel 45, and the third channel 47 can be larger than the cross-sections of the main section 61, the mounting section 63, and the abutment section 65, so that the mounting member 60 can rotate. In addition, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the first mold body 40 is not provided with the first channel 43, the second channel 45 and the third channel 47, the main section 61, the mounting section 63 and the abutment section 65 of the mounting member 60 can also be provided on the outside of the first mold body 40.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, the first channel 43 passes through the side of the first mold body 40 facing away from the second mold body 50. The first mold body 40 is provided with a fixing part 49. A part of the fixing part 49 is arranged corresponding to the first channel 43, and the main body section 61 is rotatably provided on the fixing part 49.
[0065] The first channel 43 passes through the side of the first mold body 40 away from the second mold body 50 , that is, the first channel 43 is hollowed out on the side of the first mold body 40 away from the second mold body 50 to form an opening, and the fixing member 49 can be partially arranged corresponding to the opening of the first channel 43 .
[0066] In this embodiment, the first channel 43 is positioned through the side of the first mold body 40 facing away from the second mold body 50, simplifying the structure of the first channel 43 and further simplifying the processing and forming of the first channel 43, the second channel 45, and the second channel 45. Furthermore, the fixing member 49 provides a mounting position for the main body section 61, further simplifying the rotational connection of the mounting member 60. Thus, while simplifying the processing and installation processes, the convenience of mold manufacturing can be further improved.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment of the present application, one of the two facing surfaces of the fixing member 49 and the main section 61 is provided with a rotation rib 491, and the other one is provided with a rotation groove 611; the rotation rib 491 is embedded in the rotation groove 611, so that the main section 61 can be rotatably arranged on the fixing member 49.
[0068] One of the two facing surfaces of the fixing member 49 and the main body section 61 is provided with a rotation rib 491, and the other is provided with a rotation groove 611. In other words, when the fixing member 49 is provided with the rotation rib 491, the main body section 61 is also provided with the rotation groove 611. When the fixing member 49 is provided with the rotation groove 611, the main body section 61 is also provided with the rotation rib 491. The rotation rib 491 can extend along the rotation axis of the main body section 61 and can have a circular or semicircular cross-section.
[0069] In this embodiment, the main section 61 and the rotating groove 611 are directly connected by the rotation rib 491 and the rotation groove 611. This can greatly simplify the rotation structure between the main section 61 and the rotating section. The abutment fit can also simplify the assembly process, thereby further improving the convenience of mold manufacturing. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, a plug-in shaft can be provided on one of the fixing member 49 and the main section 61, and a plug-in hole can be provided on the other. The rotational connection between the two can also be achieved through the cooperation of the plug-in shaft and the plug-in hole.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present application, the mounting section 63 is provided with a slot 631 , and the end of the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21 is snapped into the slot 631 .
[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting section 63 and the insert 30 are secured together via a snap-fit connection, simplifying their connection and facilitating assembly. This arrangement also allows for disassembly between the mounting section 63 and the insert 30, facilitating replacement if either is damaged. The snap-fit groove 631 can be a T-slot or a dovetail groove, extending through opposite sides of the mounting section 63 to facilitate machining and forming the snap-fit groove 631 and facilitating assembly of the insert 30 onto the mounting section 63. The insert 30 can include a main rod 31 and a snap-fit joint 33 connected to the main rod 31. This allows the insert 30 to be molded and processed using the end of the main rod 31 distal from the snap-fit joint 33, while remaining visible within the snap-fit groove 631 of the mounting section 63 through the snap-fit joint 33. It should be noted that the present application is not limited to this embodiment; in other embodiments, the insert 30 and the mounting member 60 may simply be in abutment with each other.
[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, the mounting section 63 has a first abutting surface. When the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 abut, the first abutting surface is adapted to abut against the end surface of the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21 .
[0073] In this embodiment, when the mold is closed, the mounting segment 63, through its first abutting surface, abuts against the end face of the insert 30 that is distal to the molding cavity 21, creating surface contact between the mounting segment 63 and the insert 30. This allows the mounting segment 63 to stably abut against the insert 30, maintaining the insert 30 in a stable, mold-closed state and allowing for normal, stable molding of the product. If the mounting segment 63 is provided with a slot 631, the first abutting surface can be positioned within the slot 631.
[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, the mounting section 63 has a second abutting surface. When the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 are separated, the second abutting surface is adapted to abut against the end surface of the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21 .
[0075] In this embodiment, when the mold is opened, the insert 30 moves away from the molding cavity. To stabilize the insert 30 in its moved state, the mounting segment 63, through a second abutting surface, can adaptably abut against the end face of the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21, thereby achieving surface contact between the mounting segment 63 and the insert 30, thereby improving the stability of the insert 30 in its moved state. If the mounting segment 63 is provided with a retaining groove 631, the second abutting surface can also be disposed within the retaining groove 631. The difference between the first abutting surface and the first abutting surface is that the first abutting surface abuts and limits the insert 30 after the mounting segment 63 and the insert 30 have moved toward the molding cavity 21, while the second abutting surface abuts and limits the insert 30 after the mounting segment 63 and the insert 30 have moved away from the molding cavity 21.
[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the abutting section 65 has a third abutting surface. When the second mold body 50 abuts against the second mold body 50 , the third abutting surface is adapted to abut against the second mold body 50 .
[0077] In this embodiment, when the mold is closed, the abutting section 65 is adapted to abut against the second mold body 50 through the third abutting surface, so that there is surface contact between the abutting section 65 and the second mold body 50, and thus the abutting section 65 can be stably abutted by the second mold body 50, so that the abutting section 65 is stably in a state after being abutted and driven by the second mold body 50, and correspondingly, the mounting section 63 and the insert 30 can be further stably in a state after moving in a direction close to the molding cavity 21, thereby realizing stable processing and molding of the product by the insert 30.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 4In one embodiment of the present application, the moving direction of the insert 30 is defined as the up-down direction, the main section body is extended in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 are both extended in the up-down direction.
[0079] In this embodiment, the main section is set horizontally, and the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 are both set vertically, which can make the structure of the mounting member 60 simpler and facilitate its processing and forming.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, the main body section 61 , the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 are provided as an integral structure.
[0081] The body section, the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 are in an integral structure, that is, the body section, the mounting section 63 and the abutting section 65 form an inseparable integral structure.
[0082] In this embodiment, the main body section 61, mounting section 63, and abutting section 65 are configured as an integrated structure, which improves the connection strength at the joints, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the mounting member 60, thereby providing stable support for the insert 30 and achieving stable processing and molding of the product. Furthermore, this configuration allows the mounting member 60 to be manufactured through an integrated molding process, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present application, the molding assembly 100 further includes an elastic member 70 , which is disposed between the first mold body 40 and the mounting member 60 to drive the mounting member 60 to rotate in a direction away from the mounting member 60 driven by the second mold body 50 .
[0084] The elastic member 70 is disposed between the first mold body 40 and the mounting member 60. When the mounting member 60 is abutted and rotated by the second mold body 50, the elastic member 70 is compressed. Subsequently, when the mold is opened, the mounting member 60 is no longer abutted by the second mold body 50. The elastic force of the elastic member 70 causes the mounting member 60 to rotate and return to its original position, thereby moving the insert 30 away from the molding cavity 21.
[0085] In this embodiment, the elastic member 70 is configured so that its elastic action can promptly reposition the mounting member 60 after the abutting force exerted by the second mold body 50 is removed. This allows the insert 30 to be promptly and effectively driven away from the molding cavity 21 during mold opening, thereby promptly and effectively avoiding significant friction with the slider 90 or the bevel structure that slides during mold opening. The elastic member 70 can be a spring, which provides good elasticity and is readily available on the market. To facilitate installation and compactness of the elastic member 70, the mounting member 60 can be positioned outside the insert 30, with both ends of the elastic member 70 abutting between the mounting section 63 of the mounting member 60 and the first mold body 40. Of course, it should be noted that the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the elastic member 70 is not provided in the molding assembly 100, after the second mold body 50 no longer abuts the mounting member 60, the mounting member 60 may be rotated and reset by its own gravity. For example, the weight of the end of the mounting member 60 closer to the insert 30 may be greater than the weight of the end farther from the insert 30. Consequently, after the mounting member 60 no longer abuts the second mold body 50, the mounting member 60 may automatically rotate and reset due to the heavier end closer to the insert 30, thereby driving the insert 30 in a direction away from the molding cavity 21.
[0086] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6In one embodiment of the present application, a molding assembly 100 includes a fixed mold 10, a movable mold 20, and an insert 30. The movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 enclose a molding cavity 21; at least one of the fixed mold 10 and the movable mold 20 is provided with an insert 30, a portion of the insert 30 is located within the molding cavity 21, and the insert 30 is also movable relative to the fixed mold 10 or the movable mold 20. One of the movable mold 20 and the fixed mold 10 is defined as a first mold body 40, and the other is defined as a second mold body 50; the insert 30 is provided in the first mold body 40 and can be driven by the second mold body 50, so that when the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 abut, the insert 30 can move in a direction close to the molding cavity 21. Furthermore, the molding assembly 100 further includes a mounting member 60 rotatably mounted on the first mold body 40. When the first mold body 40 and the second mold body 50 abut, one end of the mounting member 60 can be driven to rotate by the second mold body 50, so that the other end of the mounting member 60 drives the insert 30 to move in a direction approaching the molding cavity 21. The mounting member 60 includes a main body section 61, a mounting section 63, and an abutting section 65. The main body section 61 is rotatably mounted on the first mold body 40.

The first mold body 40 is provided with a movable channel 41, a first channel 43, and a second channel 45 and a third channel 47 respectively connected to the ends of the first channel 43. One end of the movable channel 41 is connected to the molding cavity 21, and the end of the second channel 45 away from the first channel 43 is connected to the end of the movable channel 41 away from the molding cavity 21.
