[0027] The cavity is provided with two upper sliders 9 and two lower sliders 10 arranged oppositely, the upper sliders 9 and the lower sliders 10 are connected by the first locking blocks 7, and the upper sliders 9 and the lower sliders 10 enclose a forming cavity which is communicated with the sprue bush 6, and the terminal block is injection molded in the forming cavity. The lower sliders 10 are connected with the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism is preferably a motor 5.
[0028] The terminal block forming mold based on the technical features above, by arranging two upper sliders 9 and two lower sliders 10 oppositely in the cavity, connecting the upper sliders 9 and the lower sliders 10 by the first locking blocks 7, and enclosing a forming cavity communicated with the sprue bush between the upper sliders 9 and the lower sliders 10, connecting the lower sliders 10 with the driving mechanism, driving the lower sliders 10 to move by the driving mechanism when the mold is pulled out, driving the upper sliders 9 to move by the lower sliders 10, realizing the separation from the terminal block, and then separating the upper mold plate 2 from the lower mold plate 4, which realizes the integral injection molding of the terminal block and the vertical mold pulling of the terminal block, and ensures the production quality of the terminal block.
[0029] The upper sliders 9 can include two oppositely arranged slider units, each of which corresponds to a first locking block 7, facilitating driving the upper sliders 9 to move under the action of the first locking blocks 7.
[0030] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 , 5 In the embodiment, the second locking block 8 is arranged between the lower sliders 10 and the driving mechanism, the first sliding surface is arranged obliquely on the side of the lower sliders 10 opposite to the forming cavity, the second sliding surface 19 is arranged obliquely on the side of the second locking block close to the lower sliders 10, the first sliding surface abuts against the second sliding surface 19, and the driving mechanism passes through the second locking block 8 to connect the upper sliders 9. By arranging two obliquely arranged sliding surfaces to abut against each other, when the driving mechanism drives the lower sliders 10 to move, a certain displacement can be generated between the lower sliders and the second locking block through the sliding surfaces, ensuring the safety of the mold as a whole.
[0031] Meanwhile, when the lower sliders 10 move towards the driving mechanism, the lower sliders 10 or the second locking block 8 may be lowered, which needs to be reset after the mold is pulled out. Since the lower sliders 10 are arranged inside the lower mold plate 4, the buffer cavity is arranged on the lower mold base 3, so the guide column 12 can be arranged between the lower mold plate 4 and the bottom wall of the buffer cavity, the buffer spring is arranged on the guide column 12, and the upper end surface of the buffer spring abuts against the lower surface of the lower mold plate 4, so that the reset of the lower sliders 10 or the second locking block 8 can be ensured. Meanwhile, the buffer spring can also play a buffering role when the upper mold plate 2 and the lower mold plate 4 are closed.

The low-voltage terminal in the terminal block has a small terminal gap and a compact structure, and when the low-voltage terminal is integrally injection molded with the terminal block, the terminal position deviation and the problems of bubbles, insufficient injection of injection material and uneven injection of injection material are prone to occur. The independent low-voltage terminal front mold insert and the low-voltage terminal rear mold insert are provided, and six exhaust grooves are respectively arranged on the four side surfaces of the low-voltage terminal front mold insert and the low-voltage terminal rear mold insert, so as to overcome the problems of excessive internal pressure and insufficient exhaust during injection molding of the low-voltage terminal, and solve the problems of terminal position deviation and bubbles, insufficient injection of injection material and uneven injection of injection material.

By setting the mold to integrally injection mold each part, the strength of the connector can be enhanced, the complexity of workpiece assembly can be reduced, and the process quality of the product can be improved.
[0040] The locking block is used to lock the left and right slider cavities, and the spring guide column on the side edge of the left and right slider cavities and the inclined surface of the row position locking block at the output end of the motor are used for locking and disassembling, so as to realize the vertical mold stripping of the electric connection integrated terminal block.
