Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile decoration injection molding, and in particular to an injection molding device and an injection molding process for producing automobile decoration parts. Background Art

[0002] Automotive accessories serve to decorate and enhance the appearance of a car. They are broadly categorized as interior and exterior trims, and their decorative effects directly impact the vehicle's interior and exterior image. Due to their diverse types and functions, different automotive accessories are made from a variety of materials. Plastics are often used as the supporting shells for these accessories during their production.

[0003] The plastic shells of automobile accessories are mostly produced by injection molding, which is characterized by being able to be molded in one step, which is convenient for mass production, and being able to produce different plastic shells by replacing the mold. The process is relatively mature and is convenient for reducing costs. For example, a pressure-maintaining automobile accessory injection molding device with Chinese patent publication number CN117962231B relates to the technical field of injection molds, including a base and a slide, the base is laterally symmetrically provided with slides, the slide is slidably connected between the symmetrically provided slides, the first spring is connected between the bottom of the slide facing the base and the base, the molds are respectively provided on the base and the slide, the mold close to the side of the slide is provided with multiple injection inlets, the electric push rods are respectively provided on the side of the slide away from the base, the support frame is fixed between the electric push rods, and the plasticizing and pressure-maintaining assembly is provided on the support frame. This solution solves the problem that the injection inlet is easily blocked during injection molding.

[0004] However, most existing injection molding devices and processes for producing automotive trim parts still struggle with preventing adhesion during demolding. Due to the high internal mold pressure during the injection molding process, molded parts can easily adhere to the mold's inner wall after molding, causing surface deformation during demolding and poor injection molding quality. In particular, insufficient cooling of the molded part during demolding can increase adhesion and even tearing, reducing the yield rate and increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0044] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0045] An injection molding device for producing automotive trim includes a housing 1, which is used to support an injection molding assembly 2. The device also includes the injection molding assembly 2, an air stripping assembly 3, a lower mold separation assembly 4, and a direction adjustment assembly 5. The injection molding assembly 2 includes an upper mold base 20, an upper mold 21, a lower mold base 22, a lower mold 23, and a drive mechanism 24. The upper mold base 20 is vertically movably mounted on the housing 1 via the drive mechanism 24. The top of the upper mold 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold base 20. The lower mold 23 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the housing 1 via the direction adjustment assembly 5. The bottom of the lower mold 23 engages with a groove at the top of the lower mold base 22. When the drive mechanism 24 is activated, it drives the upper mold base 20 and the upper mold 21 downward, allowing the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 23 to fit together and close the molds. Molten plastic is then injected into the two molds for injection molding. After the molded part cools, the upper mold 21 is raised for demolding, completing the injection molding of the automotive trim. The pneumatic stripping assembly 3 includes an air pump 30, a hose 31, and a pair of leak-proof mechanisms 32. The bottom of the air pump 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 1. The bottom wall of the lower mold 23 is provided with a pair of inflation holes 230, symmetrically distributed on either side of the lower mold 23. A three-way slot 231 is provided at one end of the lower mold 23, communicating with the inflation holes 230. One end of the hose 31 is connected to the air outlet of the air pump 30, and the other end of the hose 31 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and communicates with the three-way slot 231. The provision of the hose 31 ensures that the air pump 30 is always connected to the lower mold 23, facilitating movement of the lower mold 23. The leak-proof mechanism 32 is installed in the inflation hole 230 and is used to prevent molten plastic from flowing into the inflation hole 230. The lower mold separation assembly 4 is mounted on the housing 1 and is used to drive the lower mold 23 to move vertically. During injection molding, after the mold is closed, the air hole 230 is blocked from the inside of the lower mold 23 by the leak-proof mechanism 32 to prevent molten plastic from flowing into the air hole 230 and causing blockage. After the injection molded part cools, the upper mold 21 is driven to separate from the lower mold 23 by the driving mechanism 24, and at the same time, the lower mold separation component 4 drives the lower mold 23 to separate from the lower mold base 22, and the first demoulding is performed. At this time, the injection molded part is easily adhered to the inner wall of the lower mold 23 due to factors such as pressure, and direct demoulding is likely to cause tearing. Subsequently, the lower mold base 22 is rotated by the direction adjustment component 5, and the mold is closed again. After the mold is closed, the injection molded part can be prevented from being blown out of the lower mold 23 and causing collisions. At this time, the air hole 230 is connected to the inside of the lower mold 23, and the air pump 30 is operated to inject air into the three-way groove 231 through the hose 31, and enter the gap between the injection molded part and the inner wall of the lower mold 23 through the air hole 230. By increasing the air pressure, the molded part is gradually separated from the inner wall of the lower mold 23, so that the molded part is subjected to slow and uniform force during the demolding process, preventing tearing at the adhesion point and improving the injection molding quality. Then, the mold is demolded again, and the molded part is easily ejected from the lower mold 23 through the demolding assembly to complete the injection molding.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown:

[0047] The anti-leakage mechanism 32 includes a piston rod 33 and a thrust spring 34. The top of the piston rod 33 is slidably connected to the inflation hole 230. Two pairs of circular holes 220 are provided on the bottom wall of the lower mold base 22. The two pairs of circular holes 220 are distributed circumferentially on the lower mold base 22. The depths of the two pairs of circular holes 220 are different. The bottom of the piston rod 33 is plugged into the circular hole 220. One end of the thrust spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the piston rod 33, and the other end of the thrust spring 34 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the inflation hole 230. When the mold is closed, the downward pressure provided by the thrust spring 34 causes the bottom of the piston rod 33 to be inserted into the circular hole 220, and the depth of the circular hole 220 corresponding to the piston rod 33 is adjusted by the direction adjustment component 5, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the inflation hole 230. When the two piston rods 33 are plugged into the other pair of circular holes 220, the tops of the piston rods 33 are flush with the bottom wall of the lower mold 23, and the inflation holes 230 are blocked by the three-way groove 231. At this time, during the first mold closing process, the piston rods 33 block the circular holes 220 to prevent molten plastic from pouring into the circular holes 220 and causing blockage. When the two piston rods 33 are plugged into one pair of circular holes 220, the tops of the piston rods 33 are located at the bottom of the three-way groove 231, and the inflation holes 230 are connected to the three-way groove 231. At this time, during the second mold closing process, the piston rods 33 are pushed open to allow air to enter the inflation holes 230 smoothly.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown:

[0049] The drive mechanism 24 includes a motor 25, a screw 26, and a pair of guide rods 27. The bottom of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The screw 26 and guide rods 27 are both rotatably mounted between the top and bottom walls of the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 25 passes through the top wall of the housing 1 and is coaxially connected to the top of the screw 26. A first thread groove 260 is defined on the periphery of the screw 26. One side of the upper mold base 20 is threadedly connected to the periphery of the first thread groove 260. The periphery of the guide rods 27 is slidably connected to the upper mold base 20. When the motor 25 is energized, its output shaft drives the screw 26 to rotate. Through the threaded transmission between the first thread groove 260 and the upper mold base 20, the upper mold base 20 drives the upper mold 21 to move up and down along the guide rods 27, thereby achieving the mold opening and closing operation.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown:

[0051] The lower mold separation assembly 4 includes a pair of support rods 40, a support frame 41, and an ejection mechanism 42. One side of the support rod 40 is fixedly connected to the lower mold 23, and the other side of the support rod 40 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 27. The support frame 41 is mounted on the support rod 40 so as to be movable up and down via the ejection mechanism 42. A second thread groove 261 is formed on the outer periphery of the screw rod 26. The outer periphery of the second thread groove 261 is threadedly connected to one side of the support frame 41. The pitch of the second thread groove 261 is smaller than that of the first thread groove 260, and the second thread groove 261 and the first thread groove 260 are in the same direction. When the screw rod 26 rotates to drive the upper mold base 20 upward, the threaded transmission between the second thread groove 261 and the support frame 41 drives the support frame 41 and the support rod 40 to move upward simultaneously, causing the lower mold 23 to move upward and disengage from the groove on the lower mold base 22. At this time, the lower mold base 22 can be rotated to change its direction through the direction adjustment assembly 5. Furthermore, because the pitch of the second thread groove 261 is smaller than the pitch of the first thread groove 260, the upper mold 21 moves faster and farther than the lower mold 23, thereby separating the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 23 and preventing them from interfering with each other. The ejection mechanism 42 can also eject the molded part from the lower mold 23 for easier demoulding.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown:

[0053] The ejection mechanism 42 includes a pair of T-shaped rods 43, a pair of tension springs 44, a pair of limiting rings 45, a pair of connecting rods 46 and a pair of ejection blocks 47. The bottom of the T-shaped rod 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 41, the T-shaped rod 43 passes through the support rod 40 and is slidably connected thereto, the tension spring 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the T-shaped rod 43, one end of the tension spring 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the T-shaped rod 43, the other end of the tension spring 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 40, the limiting ring 45 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 27, the bottom of the limiting ring 45 and the top of the support rod 40 conflict with each other, one side of the connecting rod 46 is fixedly connected to the support frame 41, and a pair of sliding grooves 232 are opened on the bottom wall of the lower mold 23. The sliding grooves 232 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the lower mold 23, the sliding grooves 232 are slidably connected to the ejection block 47, the other end of the connecting rod 46 passes through the side wall of the lower mold 23 and is slidably connected thereto, and the ejection block 47 can be vertically movably installed on the connecting rod 46. As the lower mold 23 moves upward, the support frame 41 drives the T-shaped rod 43 upward, and the tension provided by the tension spring 44 drives the support rod 40 and the lower mold 23 upward. The support rod 40 stops moving upward after it contacts the retaining ring 45. At this time, as the support frame 41 continues to move, the tension spring 44 is stretched, and the distance between the support frame 41 and the support rod 40 is reduced. One side of the connecting rod 46 slides within the lower mold 23 and drives the ejection block 47 upward, thereby ejecting the injection molded part.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown:

[0055] The ejection mechanism 42 also includes a pair of telescopic rods 48 and a pair of first return springs 49. The bottom of the telescopic rods 48 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 46, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rods 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ejection block 47. The first return spring 49 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the telescopic rods 48, one end of the first return spring 49 is fixedly connected to the ejection block 47, and the other end of the first return spring 49 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 46. During the first demolding, if the injection molded part sticks, direct ejection may easily cause it to tear. At this time, as the connecting rod 46 moves upward, the return springs are squeezed and shortened, and the telescopic rods 48 ensure that the return springs do not bend. The ejection block 47 remains stationary, preventing the injection molded part from tearing. During the second demolding, an air film is formed between the injection molded part and the lower mold 23 to prevent adhesion. Under the thrust of the return spring, the ejection block 47 can eject the injection molded part from the lower mold 23.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0057] The direction adjustment assembly 5 includes a rotating base 50, a pair of bevel gears 51, a rotating shaft 52, and a linkage mechanism 53. The top of the rotating base 50 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower die base 22. The bottom of the rotating base 50 passes through the top wall of the housing 1 and is coaxially connected to one of the bevel gears 51. The two bevel gears 51 are meshed with each other. The other bevel gear 51 is coaxially connected to one end of the rotating shaft 52. The other end of the rotating shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The linkage mechanism 53 is mounted on the rotating shaft 52 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 52 to rotate when the support frame 41 rises. When the support frame 41 rises, the linkage assembly drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate, and the meshing transmission of the two bevel gears 51 drives the rotating base 50 to rotate, thereby causing the lower die base 22 to rotate when the lower mold 23 rises, achieving direction adjustment.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0059] The linkage mechanism 53 includes a ratchet 54, a lifting rod 55, multiple pawls 56 and multiple second return springs 57. The ratchet 54 is coaxially connected to the periphery of the rotating shaft 52. The top of the lifting rod 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 41. The bottom of the lifting rod 55 passes through the top wall of the shell 1 and is slidably connected thereto. One end of the lifting rod 55 is provided with multiple cavities 550. One end of the pawl 56 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 550. The other end of the pawl 56 conflicts with the teeth on the ratchet 54. One end of the second return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the pawl 56, and the other end of the second return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 550. When the support frame 41 drives the lifting rod 55 to rise, the pawl 56 and the ratchet 54 conflict with each other. At this time, the spring is shortened to the limit, causing the ratchet 54 to rotate as the lifting rod 55 rises. When the lifting rod 55 descends, the pawl 56 and the ratchet 54 conflict with each other, causing the spring to pull up, and the pawl 56 rotates upward, so that the lower mold base 22 rotates 90 degrees when the lower mold 23 moves upward, so that the piston rod 33 moves from above a pair of circular holes 220 to above another pair of circular holes 220. When the lower mold 23 descends, the lower mold base 22 remains stationary to prevent the piston rod 33 from offsetting the circular holes 220.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0061] The pawls 56 are located at the outer bottom of the lifting rod 55. This ensures that the ratchet 54 only engages the pawls 56 after the lifting rod 55 has moved upward a certain distance. This prevents the lower die base 22 from rotating and interfering with the lower die base 22 before the lower die 23 is released. When the lower die 23 engages the grooves in the lower die base 22, the ratchet 54 and pawls 56 separate, allowing the lower die base 22 to remain stationary and facilitate upward movement. When the lower die 23 separates from the lower die base 22, the ratchet 54 and pawls 56 interfere with each other. The lower die base 22 then rotates and changes direction to follow the movement of the lower die 23.

[0062] The present embodiment also provides an injection molding process for an injection molding device for producing automotive accessories, comprising the following steps: step 1: an injection molding assembly 2 is installed on the shell 1, which can drive the upper mold 21 to move downward to complete the first mold closing, and then inject the molten plastic between the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 23 for injection molding; step 2: after the injection molded part cools, the upper mold 21 is driven to move upward by the driving mechanism 24 installed on the shell 1 for the first demolding, and at the same time, the lower mold 23 is separated from the lower mold base 22 by the lower mold separation assembly 4 installed on the shell 1, so as to facilitate the rotation of the lower mold base 22; step 3: a direction adjustment assembly 5 is installed on the shell 1, and is used to drive the lower mold base 22 to rotate 90 degrees during the upward movement of the lower mold 23, and then perform the second mold closing; step 4: an inflation separation assembly is installed on the shell 1, which can inject air into the gap between the lower mold 23 and the injection molded part to completely separate them and improve the injection molding demolding effect; step 5: finally, the second demolding is performed, and the injection molded part is ejected from the lower mold 23 by the ejection mechanism 42 installed on the shell 1 for easy removal.
