Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the international status of China's manufacturing industry, the mold industry has developed rapidly, and the demand for molds has increased exponentially. The production cycle of molds is getting shorter and shorter. Mold production is evolving from multi-variety small-batch production to single-piece production to diversification of varieties, diversification of production processes, and complex production capacity. Injection molds are generally suitable for hot forming of thermoplastic plastics. Using the principle of hot melting of thermoplastic plastics, melt the plastic, inject it into the mold cavity through the injection molding machine, then cool and set, open the mold and take out the plastic product.

[0003] The function of the mobile phone data line and the computer data line is to connect mobile devices and computers to achieve data transmission or charging purposes. Therefore, the precision requirement of the data line connector is very high. In the processing process, the connector and the wire are usually welded first, and then the welding material is placed on the inner layer forming mold to form the inner layer to cover the welding position. Then it is transferred to another outer layer forming mold to form the outer layer on the outside of the inner layer to form the finished product.

[0004] However, this processing method requires two processing equipment\molds, which not only has high equipment cost and requires a large space, but also requires two employees to operate simultaneously, which has high labor cost.

[0035] The upper die 10 includes an upper die plate 11 and an upper inner forming area and an upper outer forming area provided on the bottom surface of the upper die plate 11. The upper inner forming area is provided with an upper inner forming cavity, and the upper outer forming area is provided with an upper outer forming cavity. The upper outer forming cavity and the lower outer forming cavity are combined to form an outer layer forming cavity, and the upper inner forming cavity and the lower inner forming cavity are combined to form an inner layer forming cavity. The structures of the upper outer forming cavity and the lower outer forming cavity and the upper inner forming cavity and the lower inner forming cavity are basically the same. In addition, the lower outer forming cavity and the lower inner forming cavity are symmetrically arranged in the product structure.

[0036] The upper die 10 is provided with a glue injection port 12 in the middle, and two groups of branch flow channels 13 are extended on both sides, and the two groups of branch flow channels 13 correspond to the inner forming cavity and the outer forming cavity respectively. The glue injection port 12 is also provided with a main flow channel 121 on one side, and the main flow channel 121 connects the two groups of branch flow channels 13.

The separation piece is provided with two, which are respectively arranged at the connection part of the main flow channel 121 and the left branch flow channel 13 and the connection part of the main flow channel 121 and the right branch flow channel 13. It is used to separate the left or right flow channel, so that the main flow channel 121 only enters the right branch flow channel 13 or the left branch flow channel 13, so that the mold can work in a single forming area, and the other side forming area has no glue flow.

[0037] The mold is also provided with a master control device, which is provided with three working modes, which can be two-side flow passage normal flow and right-side flow passage flow, right-side flow passage flow. When the inside forming area and the outside forming area both need to work normally, the normal flow mode is started. If only one side needs to flow, the other side does not need glue to enter, the corresponding mode is started. Understandably, different modes are different in length, which can be designed according to the needs of the system, and when switching modes, the data of the feeding time and the holding time are automatically retrieved. The driving device of the separation piece is signal connected with the master control device, when the normal mode is started, the two separation pieces move upward to open the two-side flow passage. When only one side needs to work, the separation piece drives the separation piece on that side to move upward to open the flow passage. When only one inner layer or outer layer needs to be processed (when reworking, repairing, or testing small batches of products), this structure can greatly reduce material waste.

[0038] Step two, form the inner layer, open the upper mold 10 and the lower mold 20, take out the positioning piece 30, insert the sub-joint 30a end of the welded wire product into the positioning groove 216 corresponding to the inner layer forming area 23 of the positioning piece 30; and the positioning groove 216 corresponding to the outer layer forming area 22 is empty. Then insert the positioning piece 30 back into the limiting groove 24, and embed the welded wire, main joint 10a into the second inner insert 254, middle insert 252, first inner insert 253 and positioning insert 256 in turn; after positioning, mold injection to form a semi-finished wire.

[0039] Step three, form the outer layer, after forming the inner layer, open the mold to take out the positioning piece 30, insert the welded wire into the empty positioning groove 216 according to the previous method; then turn over the positioning piece 30, so that the semi-finished product with formed inner layer corresponds to the outer layer forming area side, and the welded wire corresponds to the inner layer forming area side; insert the positioning piece 30 filled with wire into the limiting groove 24. The semi-finished product is embedded into the lower outside forming area 23, and the welded wire is embedded into the lower inside forming area 22; mold injection.

[0040] Step four, after opening the mold, take out the finished product of the lower outside forming area 23, then insert new welded wire; then turn over the positioning piece 30, and place the new wire on the lower inside forming area 22 side; and the semi-finished product is placed on the lower outside forming area 23 side. Cycle accordingly.

[0041] In summary, the integrated forming method of the present application, by integrating the inner layer forming die and the outer layer forming die on the same die, the inner layer and the outer layer of the product can be formed at one time, without two different sets of dies and without changing equipment; not only reduces the equipment cost and the occupied space, but also reduces the labor cost and the material changing time. Greatly improves the production efficiency and reduces the production cost, especially suitable for small batch production. In addition, the positioning member and the insert on the forming die can be disassembled and replaced according to the actual product, so as to improve the application range and the utilization rate of the die, the practicability of the present application is strong, and it has strong popularization significance.

[0042] The above-mentioned embodiment only expresses one embodiment of the present application, which is described in detail, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent scope of the present application.
