Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of injection molding equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a horizontal injection mold and injection molding machine for manufacturing new energy battery components. Background Technology

[0002] In injection molding, molds are generally classified into vertical molds and horizontal molds. A vertical mold is one mounted vertically on the injection molding machine's template, while a horizontal mold is one mounted horizontally. In the manufacturing process of new energy battery components, such as welding rings and terminals, the welding ring and the terminal located within it are first inserted into the mold. Then, after the mold closes, plastic material is injected into the welding ring to form a qualified new energy battery component. Because the welding ring is ring-shaped and relatively thin, the industry typically uses vertical molds for injection molding, where the welding ring is located in the lower mold. This ensures it is effectively fixed to the mold and won't fall off during injection molding. Then, the mold closes again for injection molding. However, vertical molds are usually larger, and vertical injection molding machines also require a larger footprint. Furthermore, since the molded parts of the welding ring and terminal are ejected upwards after injection molding, a robotic arm is needed to remove the molded parts, resulting in lower injection molding efficiency. Therefore, how to effectively fix the welding ring and pole onto the mold, and thus apply them to smaller horizontal molds that can be automatically demolded, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

In other words, this design allows the welding ring and terminal post to be implanted into the horizontal mold. Thus, new energy battery components containing welding rings and terminal posts can be injection molded using a smaller horizontal mold, thereby reducing mold size and the space occupied by the injection molding machine. Furthermore, because it is a horizontal mold, after one injection molding cycle, the adsorption device releases its adsorption on the terminal post, the injection-molded component is ejected by the ejector assembly, and the welding ring disengages from the fasteners, allowing the component to be easily demolded and automatically fall into the material frame under gravity. In other words, using a horizontal mold enables automatic demolding of the product, thereby effectively improving injection molding production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0038] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0039] This application provides a horizontal injection mold for manufacturing new energy battery components.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 10In one embodiment, the horizontal injection mold for manufacturing new energy battery components includes a fixed mold assembly 200 and a moving mold assembly 100. Specifically, the fixed mold assembly 200 includes a fixed template 210 and a female mold core 220 mounted on the fixed template 210. The female mold core 220 has a vertically arranged pressing surface 221, and a first cavity 222 is provided on the pressing surface 221. The moving mold assembly 100 includes a moving mold plate 110, a male mold core 120, and an adsorption device. The male mold core 120 is mounted on the moving mold plate 110 and has a vertically arranged bearing surface 121. A welding ring 310 and a pole post 320 located in the welding ring 310 are fixed on the bearing surface 121. The interior of the welding ring 310 forms a second cavity 122. The first cavity 222 and the second cavity 122 are enclosed to form an injection cavity after mold closing. The pole post 320 is fixed on the bearing surface 121 by the adsorption device. On the bearing surface 121, each welding ring 310 is also provided with multiple fixing buckles 130 on its outer periphery. The welding ring 310 is fixed on the bearing surface 121 by the fixing buckles 130 abutting against the outer periphery of the welding ring 310.

[0041] Based on this structural design, in this embodiment, the welding ring 310 can be fixed to the vertical bearing surface 121 by multiple fixing clips 130 around it. Simultaneously, the electrode post 320 located within the welding ring 310 can also be firmly adsorbed onto the bearing surface 121 by an adsorption device. Therefore, the welding ring 310 and electrode post 320 can be securely fixed to the vertical bearing surface 121 by the fixing clips 130 and the adsorption device. In other words, this design allows the welding ring 310 and electrode post 320 to be implanted into a horizontal mold. Thus, the new energy battery component containing the welding ring 310 and electrode post 320 can be injection molded using a smaller horizontal mold, thereby reducing the mold size and the space occupied by the injection molding machine. Furthermore, since it is a horizontal mold, after one injection molding is completed, the adsorption device releases its adsorption effect on the pole 320, the injection molded part is ejected by the ejector assembly, and the welding ring 310 disengages from the fixing buckle 130, so that the part can be demolded smoothly and automatically fall into the material frame under the action of gravity. In other words, by using a horizontal mold, the automatic demolding of the product can be achieved, thereby effectively improving the injection molding production efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0042] It should be noted that the new energy battery component includes a welding ring 310 and a terminal post 320. The terminal post 320 is located in the inner ring of the welding ring 310. The plastic material is injected into the internal space of the welding ring 310 and will not overflow outside the welding ring 310. Therefore, no plastic material will flow to the fixing buckle 130, and this will not affect the smooth demolding of the new energy battery component containing the welding ring 310 and the terminal post 320. In addition, this mold is also equipped with a drive mechanism that can drive the moving mold assembly 100 to move and an exhaust channel for convenient venting. In addition, to ensure accurate and smooth mold closing, multiple guide posts 230 are also provided on the fixed mold assembly 200.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In this embodiment, the fixing buckle 130 includes a buckle housing 131, an elastic element 132, a snap-fit ​​element 133, and an adjusting screw 134. The elastic element 132 and the adjusting screw 134 are both internally disposed within the buckle housing 131. One end of the elastic element 132 is connected to the adjusting screw 134, and the other end of the elastic element 132 is connected to the snap-fit ​​element 133. The buckle housing 131 has a snap-fit ​​through-hole 137 at the end facing the welding ring 310. The snap-fit ​​element 133 has a snap-fit ​​connector 133b at the end away from the elastic element 132. The snap-fit ​​connector 133b extends from the snap-fit ​​through-hole 137 and elastically abuts against the outer peripheral edge of the welding ring 310. Specifically... Figure 2 As shown, there are four fixing buckles 130 arranged in a cross shape, which ensures that the welding ring 310 can be fixed in four directions, improving the fixing stability. Here, the elastic element 132 is specifically a spring. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 132 can also be other structures, as long as it can provide the snap-fit ​​element 133 with an elastic force toward the welding ring 310. However, in this embodiment, the use of a spring has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and convenient adjustment of elastic force. In actual use, by adjusting the adjusting screw 134, the elastic element 132 can maintain a certain elastic force. When the welding ring 310 is inserted, the snap-fit ​​element 133 will retract slightly to facilitate the insertion of the welding ring 310. When the welding ring 310 is inserted into place, the snap-fit ​​element 133 will extend slightly forward under the action of the elastic element 132 to elastically abut against the outer edge of the welding ring 310. This elastic snap-fit ​​design provides a suitable elastic snap-fit ​​force to ensure that the welding ring 310 can be stably fixed, and also reduces the frictional resistance received by the welding ring 310 during insertion and removal, which facilitates the insertion of the welding ring 310 and subsequent demolding.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​housing 131 has a front end face 135 facing the front end of the welding ring 310. Along the first direction from the male mold core 120 to the female mold core 220, the front end face 135 includes a first partition 135a, a second partition 135b, and a third partition 135c that are sequentially adjacent. The first partition 135a is opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the welding ring 310 and has a gap. Taking the radial outward direction of the welding ring 310 as the second direction, the third partition 135c is a concave arc surface that is inclined from the first direction to the second direction. The chamfered connection area between the first partition 135a and the third partition 135c is the second partition 135b. Specifically, the curvature of the arc surfaces of the first partition 135a, the second partition 135b, and the third partition 135c is consistent with the curvature of the outer edge of the welding ring 310, thus better adapting to the shape of the injection molded product. The inclined second partition 135b and the third partition 135c can serve as guides to facilitate subsequent demolding.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​through-hole 137 is located near the second partition 135b and the third partition 135c. The snap-fit ​​connector 133b has a snap-fit ​​surface 136 facing the outer edge of the welding ring 310. The snap-fit ​​surface 136 protrudes from the front end face 135. The snap-fit ​​surface 136 includes a snap-fit ​​area 136a and a guide area 136b. The snap-fit ​​area 136a elastically abuts against the outer edge of the welding ring 310, and the guide area 136b is also arranged in an inclined concave arc surface consistent with the third partition 135c. Here, the snap-fit ​​surface 136 slightly protrudes from the front end face 135 so that the snap-fit ​​surface 136 can play a role in fixing the welding ring 310 by elastically abutting against the outer edge of the welding ring 310. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​area 136a in the snap-fit ​​surface 136 is used to abut against the welding ring 310, while the guide area 136b, like the third partition 135c, has the function of avoiding displacement and guiding, which is conducive to subsequent demolding. It is understandable that to minimize the resistance of the retaining clip 130 during demolding, its contact area with the outer edge of the welding ring 310 should be as small as possible. However, due to the small size of the retaining clip 130, if the snap-fit ​​connector 133b is too thin, it is prone to bending and damage, thus failing to provide elastic fixation. This could even lead to significant losses such as mold damage due to the welding ring 310 detaching. Therefore, the thickness of the snap-fit ​​connector 133b must meet the design requirements. The design of the snap-fit ​​surface 136 in this embodiment, including the snap-fit ​​area 136a and the guide area 136b, simultaneously satisfies these two contradictory requirements.

[0046] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component 133 includes a connector 133a and a snap-fit ​​connector 133b that is thinner than the connector 133a. The end of the connector 133a facing the adjusting screw 134 is connected to the elastic element 132, and the snap-fit ​​connector 133b extends from the other end of the connector 133a away from the elastic element 132 toward the welding ring 310. Here, the connector 133a and the snap-fit ​​connector 133b are integrally formed. The thicker connector 133a is beneficial for better fixing and connecting the elastic element 132, while the thinner snap-fit ​​connector 133b can reduce the snap-fit ​​contact area with the outer edge of the welding ring 310, so as to facilitate smooth demolding of the injection molded product. Understandably, when faced with the challenge of how to securely fix the welding ring 310 while minimizing resistance during product demolding, this technical solution employs an elastic element 132 to provide elasticity, a smaller snap-fit ​​connector 133b, a special snap-fit ​​housing 131 front end face 135, and a snap-fit ​​surface 136 of the snap-fit ​​connector 133b, thereby achieving both objectives simultaneously.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​housing 131 is also provided with an adjustment hole 131a and a clearance recess 131b; the bearing surface 121 is provided with an installation groove 123, and the snap-fit ​​housing 131 is built into the installation groove 123; the bottom surface of the installation groove 123 is provided with a first fixing hole 124, and the bottom surface of the snap-fit ​​housing 131 is provided with a second fixing hole (not shown). The moving mold assembly 100 also includes a fixing shaft 125, which passes through the first fixing hole 124 and the second fixing hole in sequence and extends into the snap-fit ​​housing 131; the clearance recess 131b is provided at one end of the snap-fit ​​housing 131 facing the welding ring 310 and is located below the snap-fit ​​connector 133b. When installing the retaining clip 130, the clip housing 131, which contains the adjusting screw 134, elastic element 132, and retaining element 133, can be aligned with the mounting groove 123. This allows the retaining shaft 125, extending from the first retaining hole 124, to pass through the second retaining hole and be accurately placed in the mounting groove 123. Part of the clip housing 131 protrudes from the mounting groove 123. Correspondingly, the female mold core 220 has a recess corresponding to the protruding part of the clip housing 131, thus ensuring that mold closing is not affected. Here, the clearance recess 131b not only serves a clearance function but also fits and overlaps with the edge step of the mounting groove 123 facing the welding ring 310, thereby playing a certain limiting role. In this way, the retaining surface 136 of the retaining element 133b, especially the smaller retaining area 136a, can be directly aligned with the outer edge of the welding ring 310, thereby achieving a very precise retaining effect and improving the fixing stability.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the adjustment hole 131a is located at the other end of the buckle housing 131 away from the welding ring 310, and corresponds to the position of the adjustment screw 134. On the side of the buckle housing 131 away from the welding ring 310, a relief groove 126 corresponding to the position of the adjustment hole 131a is also provided on the bearing surface 121, and the relief groove 126 communicates with the mounting groove 123. In this way, the adjustment hole 131a and the adjustment screw 134 in the adjustment hole 131a can be observed from the relief groove 126, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment and maintenance of the adjustment screw 134. In addition, two adjacent fixed buckles 130 can share a relief groove 126, which makes the structural design and manufacturing simpler.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 In this embodiment, an adsorption through hole 127 is provided at the center of the second cavity 122 on the male mold core 120. The adsorption device includes a suction cup 140, which passes through the adsorption through hole 127 to adsorb and fix the electrode post 320 in the welding ring 310. The horizontal injection mold for manufacturing new energy battery components also includes an ejection assembly, which includes a driving device and an ejection rod 150. The top end of the ejection rod 150 abuts against the electrode post 320, and the suction cup 140 is located at the middle of the top end of the ejection rod 150. After the welding ring 310 and the electrode post 320 are inserted into the mold, the adsorption device activates its vacuum adsorption function, and the suction cup 140 adheres to the electrode post 320. After one injection molding cycle, the moving mold assembly 100 and the fixed mold assembly 200 separate, the adsorption device deactivates its adsorption function, and the suction cup 140 releases its adsorption on the electrode post 320. Simultaneously, the drive device drives the ejector rod 150 to eject the injection-molded product. Under the action of the ejection force, the welding ring 310 disengages from the fixing clip 130, thus successfully demolding the injection-molded product. This integrated design of the ejector rod 150 with adsorption function can simultaneously achieve both adsorption fixation and ejection demolding functions, thereby helping to further reduce the mold volume.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9 as well as Figure 10In this embodiment, there are multiple female mold cores 220 and male mold cores 120, and the number of each is the same. Multiple welding rings 310 and terminal posts 320 are spaced apart on the male mold core 120. Specifically, on the moving mold plate 110, there are two male mold cores 120 arranged vertically, and correspondingly, two female mold cores 220 on the fixed mold plate 210 are also arranged vertically. Each time each male mold core 120 is molded, eight new energy battery components containing welding rings 310 and terminal posts 320 can be obtained. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number and positional arrangement of male and female mold cores 120 and the number and positional arrangement of grooves on each male mold core 120 can be set according to actual needs. It can be understood that the design of multiple mold cores and multiple grooves allows multiple products to be molded at once during injection molding, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0051] This application also proposes an injection molding machine, which includes a machine tool and the aforementioned horizontal injection mold for manufacturing new energy battery components mounted on the machine tool. The specific structure of the horizontal injection mold for manufacturing new energy battery components is as described in the above embodiments. Since this injection molding machine adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
