[0007] A first molding structure is detachably disposed in the receiving groove. When the first molding structure passes through the receiving groove, a first injection cavity for injection molding a film part is formed between the first molding structure and the side wall of the receiving groove.
[0008] A second molding structure is detachably disposed in the receiving groove. When the second molding structure passes through the receiving groove, a second injection cavity for injection molding products is formed between the second molding structure and the side wall of the film.

[0019] When the second upper punch and the second lower punch are mated and pass through the receiving groove, the second extension is closed in the gap between the second molding structure and the outer mold.
[0020] According to a mold structure provided in one embodiment of this application, the top of the receiving groove is provided with a first opening, and the bottom of the receiving groove is provided with a second opening, with the first opening and the second opening being disposed opposite to each other.
[0021] This application also provides a method for injection molding using the above-described mold structure, including:
[0022] The first molding structure is introduced into the receiving groove of the outer mold, and a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure and the side wall of the receiving groove.
[0023] Injection molding is performed into the first injection cavity. After a thin film part is formed in the first injection cavity, the thin film part and the outer mold are demolded.
[0024] The second molding structure is introduced into the receiving groove of the outer mold, and a second injection cavity is formed between the second molding structure and the side wall of the film part.

[0026] The mold structure provided in this application, by setting an outer mold, a first molding structure, and a second molding structure, firstly sets the first molding structure in a receiving groove, so that a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure and the side wall of the receiving groove. Then, a thin film part is formed by injection molding in the first injection cavity, and the thin film part and the outer mold are demolded. Then, the second molding structure is set in the receiving groove, so that a second injection cavity is formed between the second molding structure and the side wall of the thin film part. Finally, injection molding is performed in the second injection cavity. After demolding, a product with a thin film on the surface can be formed. This not only solves the problem of difficult mold demolding, but also makes the outer surface of the product free of embedded lines, eliminating the need for subsequent grinding, improving product yield and mass production capability, and reducing the cost of mass production.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0043] This application provides a mold structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are all cross-sectional schematic diagrams of the mold structure, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mold structure includes: an outer mold 3, a first molding structure 1, and a second molding structure 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the outer mold 3 serves as the supporting workpiece for the entire mold structure. The outer mold 3 has a receiving groove 30, which is used to cooperate with the first molding structure 1 and the second molding structure 2 for injection molding. The first molding structure 1 is detachably disposed in the receiving groove 30, and the second molding structure 2 is detachably disposed in the receiving groove 30.
[0045] When the first molding structure 1 passes through the receiving groove 30, a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the injection cavity. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the first injection cavity is used for injection molding the film part 4. The film part 4 has a thin wall thickness of approximately 0.1 to 10 mm. The film part 4 has an outer surface 41 and an inner surface 42. The outer surface 41 is a draft surface, and the inner surface 42 is a straight surface. The film part 4 has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and smooth surface. Moreover, the film part 4 has good flowability. The injection molding material can be ceramic, glass, lightweight alloy, etc.
[0046] When the second molding structure 2 passes through the receiving groove 30, a second injection cavity is formed between the second molding structure 2 and the side wall of the film part 4. The second injection cavity is used for injection molding product 5 (deep cavity part).
[0047] During the injection molding process using this mold structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first molding structure 1 is first introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3. Since there is a gap between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30, a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30.
[0048] After the first molding structure 1 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding is performed in the first injection cavity. After the film part 4 is formed in the first injection cavity, the first molding structure 1 is removed from the receiving groove 30, and the demolding of the film part 4 and the outer mold 3 is completed. After demolding, the film part 4 is placed in the receiving groove 30.
[0049] Then, as Figure 2 As shown, the second molding structure 2 is then introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3. Since the film part 4 is set in the receiving groove 30 at this time, after the second molding structure 2 is set in the receiving groove 30, a second injection cavity is formed between the side wall of the second molding structure 2 and the film part 4.
[0050] After the second molding structure 2 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding is performed in the second injection cavity. After the product 5 is formed in the second injection cavity, the second molding structure 2 is removed from the receiving groove 30, completing the demolding of the film part 4 and the product 5. Since the outer surface 41 of the film part 4 is in contact with the side wall of the receiving groove 30 at this time, and the inner surface of the film part 4 is in direct contact with the product 5, the second molding structure 2 can be directly removed during demolding. The film part 4 and the product 5 are demolded simultaneously. By setting the film part 4 on the outer surface of the product 5, not only is the problem of difficult mold release solved, but also the outer surface of the product 5 is free of embedded lines.
[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer mold 3 has a thickness L, and the diameter of the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the first molding structure 1, so as to leave space on the inner periphery of the receiving groove 30 for forming the film part 4.
[0052] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer diameter of the first molding structure 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the second molding structure 2.
[0053] The mold structure provided in this application, by setting an outer mold 3, a first molding structure 1, and a second molding structure 2, firstly sets the first molding structure 1 in the receiving groove 30, so that a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30. Then, a thin film part 4 is injection molded in the first injection cavity, and the thin film part 4 and the outer mold 3 are demolded. Then, the second molding structure 2 is set in the receiving groove 30, so that a second injection cavity is formed between the second molding structure 2 and the side wall of the thin film part 4. Finally, injection molding is performed in the second injection cavity. After demolding, a product with a thin film on the surface can be formed. This not only solves the problem of difficult mold demolding, but also makes the outer surface of the product free of embedded lines, eliminating the need for subsequent grinding, improving product yield and mass production capability, and reducing the cost of mass production.
[0054] Generally, the outer mold 3 can be made as a single piece. In this example, the mold is made as a split draft mold according to the structure of the deep cavity part, so the outer mold 3 needs to be made as a split mold. Alternatively, a single-end draft mold can be used, and the mold can be made as a single piece.
[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer mold 3 includes a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32. The first cavity 31 is provided with a first receiving groove, and the second cavity 32 is provided with a second receiving groove. The first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are arranged opposite to each other so that the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove cooperate to form a receiving groove 30.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first die 31 is disposed on the left side and the second die 32 is disposed on the right side, and the two are detachably connected to each other. The first die 31 and the second die 32 are provided with a first receiving groove on the side opposite to each other, and the second die 32 is provided with a second receiving groove on the side opposite to each other. Thus, the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove can be spliced together to form a receiving groove 30.
[0057] To facilitate demolding, the outer surface of the film part 4 has a first draft angle, and the inner surface of the film part 4 has a second draft angle, wherein the first draft angle is greater than the second draft angle. Preferably, the outer surface of the film part 4 is a curved surface with a certain draft angle, and the draft angle of the inner surface of the film part 4 is zero degrees. That is, the draft angle of the side of the film part 4 that contacts the receiving groove 30 is greater than the draft angle of the side of the film part 4 that contacts the product.
[0058] During the injection molding process using this mold structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first mold cavity 31 and the second mold cavity 32 are first joined together, and then the first molding structure 1 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3. Since there is a gap between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30, a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure 1 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30.
[0059] After the first molding structure 1 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding is performed in the first injection cavity. After the film part 4 is formed in the first injection cavity, the first molding structure 1 returns and is removed from the receiving groove 30. The first die 31 and the second die 32 rotate 180 degrees to complete the demolding of the film part 4. After demolding, the film part 4 is placed in the receiving groove 30.
[0060] Then, as Figure 2 As shown, the second molding structure 2 is then introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3. Since the film part 4 is set in the receiving groove 30 at this time, after the second molding structure 2 is set in the receiving groove 30, a second injection cavity is formed between the side wall of the second molding structure 2 and the film part 4.
[0061] After the second molding structure 2 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding is performed in the second injection cavity. After the product 5 is formed in the second injection cavity, the second molding structure 2 returns and is removed from the receiving groove 30 (or the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are separated), completing the demolding of the film part 4 and the product 5. Since the outer surface 41 of the film part 4 is in contact with the side wall of the receiving groove 30 at this time, while the inner surface of the film part 4 is in direct contact with the product 5, the second molding structure 2 can be directly removed during demolding. Moreover, the draft angle of the side of the film part 4 in contact with the receiving groove 30 is greater than the draft angle of the side of the film part 4 in contact with the product, so the film part 4 and the product 5 can be demolded simultaneously. By setting the film part 4 on the outer surface of the product 5, not only is the problem of difficult mold demolding solved, but also the outer surface of the product 5 is free of embedded lines.
[0062] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first molding structure 1 includes a first upper punch 11 and a first lower punch 12 that are mated together. Both the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are detachably disposed in the receiving groove 30. When the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are mated together and pass through the receiving groove 30, the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 form a first injection cavity between the upper punch 11 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30. The demolding of the film part 4 and the outer mold 3 is completed by the separation of the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first molding structure 1 includes a first upper punch 11 disposed on the upper side and a first lower punch 12 disposed on the lower side. During the return stroke of the first molding structure 1, the first upper punch 11 returns upwards, and the first lower punch 12 returns downwards, completing the separation of the first molding structure 1 from the receiving groove 30, thereby enabling the demolding of the film part 4 and the outer mold 3. When the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 close, the first upper punch 11 closes downwards, and the first lower punch 12 closes upwards.
[0064] To ensure the molding of the film part 4, a first extension 111 is provided on the first upper punch 11 or the first lower punch 12, or the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are both provided with the first extension 111. When the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are mated and pass through the receiving groove 30, the first extension 111 is closed in the gap between the first molding structure 1 and the outer mold 3.
[0065] In this embodiment, both the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are provided with first extensions 111. The first extension 111 on the first upper punch 11 closes the upper side of the first molding structure 1 and the outer mold 3, and the first extension 111 on the first lower punch 12 closes the lower side of the first molding structure 1 and the outer mold 3. This forms a closed first injection cavity, and after injection molding, a thin film part 4 can be formed in the sealed first injection cavity.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, both the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 include a soft outer shell 101 and a hard inner shell 102, with the hard inner shell 102 embedded in the soft outer shell 101. The soft outer shell 101 has a groove, and the hard inner shell 102 fills the groove. The hard inner shell 102 provides support strength for the entire first upper punch 11 and first lower punch 12. The soft outer shell 101 is made of high-temperature resistant soft rubber or an elastomer, used for molding a straight surface, and can be forcibly demolded. When demolding the film part 4, the soft outer shell 101 on the first upper punch 11 and first lower punch 12 can be forcibly demolded directly by moving the first upper punch 11 and first lower punch 12.
[0067] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the second molding structure 2 includes a second upper punch 21 and a second lower punch 22 that are mated together. Both the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are detachably disposed in the receiving groove 30. When both the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 pass through the receiving groove 30, the second upper punch 21, in conjunction with the second lower punch 22, forms a second injection cavity between itself and the side wall of the receiving groove 30, thereby forming a product through injection molding. The separation of the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 completes the demolding of the film part 4 and the product.
[0068] In this embodiment, the second molding structure 2 includes a second upper punch 21 disposed on the upper side and a second lower punch 22 disposed on the lower side. During the return stroke of the second molding structure 2, the second upper punch 21 returns upwards, and the first lower punch 22 returns downwards, completing the separation of the second molding structure 2 from the receiving groove 30, thereby enabling the demolding of the film part 4 and the product 5. When the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 close, the second upper punch 21 closes downwards, and the second lower punch 22 closes upwards. Furthermore, the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 can be simultaneously lifted by a fixed lifting member to complete the demolding of the film part 4 and the product 5.
[0069] To ensure the molding of product 5, a second extension 211 is provided on the second upper punch 21 or the second lower punch 22, or both the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are provided with a second extension 211. When the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are mated and pass through the receiving groove 30, the second extension 211 is closed in the gap between the second molding structure 2 and the outer mold 3. Both the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are hard molds, and the hardness of the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 is greater than the hardness of the soft outer shell 101, so that the film part 4 and the product can be demolded as a whole during subsequent demolding.
[0070] In this embodiment, the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are both provided with second extensions 211. The second extension 211 on the second upper punch 21 closes the upper side of the second molding structure 2 and the outer mold 3, and the second extension 211 on the second lower punch 22 closes the lower side of the second molding structure 2 and the outer mold 3. This forms a closed second injection cavity, and after injection molding, the product 5 can be formed in the sealed second injection cavity.
[0071] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the top of the receiving groove 30 is provided with a first opening 33, and the bottom of the receiving groove 30 is provided with a second opening 34. The first opening 33 and the second opening 34 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0072] During the injection molding process using this mold structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first die 31 and the second die 32 are first aligned and spliced together. Then, the first upper punch 11 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the first opening 33, and the first lower punch 12 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the second opening 34. Since there is a gap between the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30, a first injection cavity is formed between the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30.
[0073] After the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are guided into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding is performed in the first injection cavity. After the film part 4 is formed in the first injection cavity, the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 return to their original positions, removing them from the receiving groove 30. The first die 31 and the second die 32 rotate 180 degrees, completing the demolding of the outer mold 3 and the film part 4. After demolding, the film part 4 is placed in the receiving groove 30.
[0074] Then, as Figure 2As shown, the second upper punch 21 is then introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the first opening 33, and the second lower punch 22 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the second opening 34. Since the film part 4 is set in the receiving groove 30 at this time, after the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are set in the receiving groove 30, a second injection cavity is formed between the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 and the side wall of the film part 4.
[0075] Injection molding is performed in the second injection cavity. After product 5 is formed in the second injection cavity, the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 return vertically (or simultaneously eject from one side), removing the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 from the receiving groove 30 (or separating the first die 31 and the second die 32), thus completing the demolding of the film part 4 and product 5. Since the outer surface 41 of the film part 4 is in contact with the side wall of the receiving groove 30 at this time, while the inner surface of the film part 4 is in direct contact with product 5, the second molding structure 2 can be directly removed during demolding. The film part 4 and product 5 are demolded simultaneously. By setting the film part 4 on the outer surface of product 5, not only is the problem of difficult mold ejection solved, but also the absence of embedded lines on the outer surface of product 5 is ensured.
[0076] This application also provides a method for injection molding a mold structure, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the injection molding method includes the following steps:
[0077] Step S101: The first molding structure is introduced into the receiving groove of the outer mold, and a first injection cavity is formed between the first molding structure and the side wall of the receiving groove.
[0078] Step S102: Inject the first injection cavity. After the film part is formed in the first injection cavity, demold the film part and the outer mold.
[0079] Step S103: The second molding structure is introduced into the receiving groove of the outer mold to form a second injection molding between the second molding structure and the side wall of the film part.
[0080] Step S104: Inject the second injection cavity. After the product is formed in the second injection cavity, demold the film part and the product.
[0081] Specifically, during the injection molding process using this mold structure, such as Figure 1 As shown,
[0082] First, the first die 31 and the second die 32 are aligned and spliced together. Then, the first upper punch 11 of the first molding structure 1 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the first opening 33, and the first lower punch 12 of the first molding structure 1 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3 from the second opening 34. Since there is a gap between the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30, a first injection cavity is formed between the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 and the side wall of the receiving groove 30.
[0083] After the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 are guided into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, injection molding begins in the first injection cavity. After the film part 4 is formed in the first injection cavity, the first upper punch 11 and the first lower punch 12 return vertically, removing them from the receiving groove 30. The first die 31 and the second die 32 rotate 180 degrees, completing the demolding of the outer mold 3 and the film part 4. After demolding, the film part 4 is placed in the receiving groove 30.
[0084] Then, as Figure 2 As shown, the second upper punch 21 of the second molding structure 2 is then introduced from the first opening 33 into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, and the second lower punch 22 of the second molding structure 2 is introduced from the second opening 34 into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3. Since the film part 4 is set in the receiving groove 30 at this time, after the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 are set in the receiving groove 30, a second injection cavity is formed between the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 and the side wall of the film part 4.
[0085] After the second molding structure 2 is introduced into the receiving groove 30 of the outer mold 3, the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 return vertically (or simultaneously eject from one side), removing the second upper punch 21 and the second lower punch 22 from the receiving groove 30 (or separating the first die 31 and the second die 32), thus completing the demolding of the film part 4 and the product 5. Since the outer surface 41 of the film part 4 is in contact with the side wall of the receiving groove 30 at this time, while the inner surface of the film part 4 is in direct contact with the product 5, the second molding structure 2 can be directly removed during demolding, and the film part 4 and the product 5 are demolded simultaneously. By setting the film part 4 on the outer surface of the product 5, not only is the problem of difficult mold ejection solved, but also the outer surface of the product 5 is free of embedded lines.
[0086] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of this application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application and should be covered within the scope of the claims of this application.
