Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts manufacturing, and in particular to a manufacturing process for preventing an insert from jumping out of an injection molded product. Background Art

[0002] When producing injection molded products with inserts, it is generally necessary to set the insert in the cavity of the injection mold in advance, and then press the molten injection molding material into the cavity, so that the insert can be fixed at the specified position of the plastic product while molding the plastic product.

[0003] In the existing production process of injection molded products containing inserts, the insert is set in the cavity of the injection mold through the insert fixing pin. Since the molten injection molding material is pressed into the cavity with a large pressure, the insert is easy to jump in the cavity of the injection mold, making it difficult to fix the insert in the specified position of the plastic product, thereby affecting the quality and defective rate of the injection molded product. In order to reduce the jumping, the technicians designed the matching clearance between the insert and the insert fixing pin to be smaller, so as to increase the friction between the insert and the insert fixing pin, thereby improving the jumping of the insert, but the larger the gap between the insert and the insert fixing pin, the smaller the gap between the insert and the insert fixing pin, and the smaller the gap between the insert and the insert fixing pin. Friction will reduce the success rate of placing the insert on the insert fixing pin before injection molding, and increase the damage rate of the insert and the injection molded product when the insert fixing pin is withdrawn from the insert after injection molding, which will also affect the quality and defective rate of the injection molded product. In addition, in the existing production process of injection molded products containing inserts, the injection molded products containing inserts themselves need more features to be molded, and the insert fixing pin requires an independent power source to realize the setting of the insert in the cavity of the injection mold before injection molding and the withdrawal from the insert after injection molding, resulting in many production steps and complicated production processes.

[0051] See also Figure 1-12The manufacturing process of anti-jumping insert of an injection molded product shown in the figure includes an injection mold, the injection mold includes an upper mold assembly 4, a lower mold assembly 5, a mold core 6 and an insert anti-jumping mechanism; the insert anti-jumping mechanism includes an insert fixing needle 1, a driving structure 2 and an insert tightness control structure 3; the insert fixing needle 1 includes an insert body 11 and a sleeve assembly 12 arranged in the insert body 11; the insert body 11 includes an insert mounting portion 111 arranged at one end, and the sleeve assembly 12 includes a deformable end 121 arranged at the insert mounting portion 111; the driving structure 2 includes a J-shaped guide column 21 arranged on the lower mold assembly 5 and a slider 22 arranged on the upper mold assembly 4; the insert tightness control structure 3 includes a driving taper needle 31 arranged on the upper mold assembly 4;

[0052] The manufacturing process includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 1, insert 7: the robot grasps the insert 7 and puts the insert 7 on the insert installation part 111;

[0054] Step 2, mold closing: During the process of gradually closing the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5, the upper mold assembly 4 drives the slider 22 to move downward, the J-shaped guide pillar 21 drives the slider 22 to move rightward and releases the insert tightness control structure 3, and the deformable end 121 is deformed by the driving taper needle 31 to increase the force acting on the inner wall of the insert 7; the insert mounting portion 111 carries the insert 7 into the mold core 6;

[0055] Step 3, injection molding: the injection molding machine presses the molten injection molding material into the mold core 6 to form an injection molded product 8 containing the insert 7;

[0056] Step 4, mold opening: During the gradual mold opening process of the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5, the upper mold assembly 4 drives the slider 22 to move upward, the J-shaped guide column 21 drives the slider 22 to move leftward and squeezes the insert tightness control structure 3, and the deformable end 121 is deformed by the driving taper needle 31 to reduce the force acting on the inner wall of the insert 7; the insert mounting portion 111 exits the mold core 6;

[0057] Step 5, taking out: the robot takes out the injection molded product 8 containing the insert 7;

[0058] Step 6, next round of production: repeat steps 1-5.

[0059] In actual manufacturing, the injection mold used in the manufacturing process of the present invention includes an upper mold component 4, a lower mold component 5, a mold core 6 and an insert anti-jumping mechanism, wherein the insert anti-jumping mechanism includes an insert fixing pin 1, a driving structure 2 and an insert tightness control structure 3, and the substructures include an insert mounting portion 111, a deformable end 121, a J-shaped guide column 21, a slider 22 and a driving taper needle 31. Due to the above settings, the insert mounting portion 111 can be set to have a larger matching clearance with the insert 7, so as to improve the success rate of the manipulator setting the insert 7 on the insert mounting portion 111 in step 1, improve the setting position accuracy of the insert 7 before injection molding, and thus improve the quality of the injection molded product 8; during the mold closing in step 2, since the deformable end 121 is deformed by the driving taper needle 31, the force acting on the inner wall of the insert 7 can be increased, so that the insert mounting portion 111 carries the insert 7 into the mold core 6. Afterwards, the insert 7 is locked to prevent the insert 7 from jumping during the subsequent injection molding, thereby improving the quality of the injection molded product 8; and, since the deformation of the deformable end 121 is achieved by the upper mold assembly 4 driving the slider 22 and the tapered needle 31 in sequence, there is no need to set up an additional power source, nor is there any need to add additional steps, so that the production steps are fewer and the process is simple; during the injection molding of step 3, since the insert 7 is locked by the deformable end 121, it can be prevented that the insert 7 jumps on the insert mounting portion 111 when the molten injection molding material is pressed into the mold cavity with a large pressure, thereby improving the quality of the injection molded product 8; during the mold opening of step 4, since the deformable end 121 The deformation caused by driving the tapered needle 31 can reduce the force on the inner wall of the insert 7, so that the insert 7 will not be damaged when the insert mounting part 111 withdraws from the mold core 6 after the injection molding is completed, thereby improving the quality of the injection molded product 8; and, because the deformation of the deformable end 121 is synchronously achieved by the upper mold assembly 4 driving the slider 22 and driving the tapered needle 31 in sequence, there is no need to set up an additional power source, nor to add additional steps, so that the production steps are fewer and the process is simple; after the mold is opened in step 4, step 5 is executed to take out the manufactured injection molded product 8 containing the insert 7, and step 6 is continued to be performed for continuous production, so that the continuous production of the injection molded product 8 is relatively coherent, without the need to stop the machine and without unnecessary steps.

[0060] Please continue reading Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , wherein the deformable end 121 includes at least one deformable sheet 1211 , and the insert mounting portion 111 includes at least one empty groove 1111 cooperating with the deformable sheet 1211 ; the driving tapered needle 31 includes a needle rod 311 and a needle head 312 arranged at the end of the needle rod 311 .

[0061] Specifically, the size of the needle head 312 is smaller than the needle rod 311, and the influence on the deformable sheet 1211 gradually increases in the process of driving the tapered needle 31 to move downward; the deformable sheet 1211 itself is elastic, and under the action of the needle head 312 or the needle rod 311, it will gradually deform along the empty groove 1111, until the needle rod 311 is in full contact with the deformable sheet 1211, the deformation degree of the deformable sheet 1211 reaches the maximum, and the force of the deformable sheet 1211 on the insert 7 also reaches the maximum. At this time, the entire injection mold is in a closed mold state, and the molten injection molding material is pressed into the mold cavity to prevent the insert 7 from jumping under the huge injection pressure.

[0062] For the preferred option, please continue to read Fig.10 , wherein a plurality of locking portions 12111 are provided on one side of the deformable sheet 1211 facing the empty slot 1111 ; the locking portions 12111 are used to increase the acting force between the deformable end 121 and the insert 7 .

[0063] For further information, please refer to Fig. 9 The sleeve assembly 12 includes a sleeve body 122 and at least one connecting strip 123 nested in the sleeve body 122; the deformable end 121 is arranged at the end of the connecting strip 123; due to the tight fit between the sleeve body 122, the connecting strip 123 and the inner wall of the needle body 11, the entire sleeve assembly 12 maintains a stable position with the needle body 11 during the up and down movement of the driving tapered needle 31, and will not be driven by the movement of the driving tapered needle 31, thereby maintaining the stability of the position of the deformable sheet 1211 and the empty slot 1111, and preventing the two from being misaligned and causing failure.

[0064] Please continue reading Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , where step 2 includes the following sub-steps:

[0065] Step 21: In the first stroke of the upper mold assembly 4 driving the slider 22 to move downward, the slider 22 and the J-shaped guide pillar 21 are in a disengaged state, the tip of the needle 312 cooperates with the deformable sheet 1211, and the deformable sheet 1211 is hidden in the insert mounting portion 111 through the empty slot 1111;

[0066] Step 22: In the second stroke in which the upper mold assembly 4 drives the slider 22 to move downward, the J-shaped guide pillar 21 gradually drives the slider 22 to move rightward, and the slider 22 gradually releases the driving tapered needle 31, so that the needle head 312 gradually squeezes the deformable sheet 1211, thereby causing the deformable sheet 1211 to gradually protrude from the empty slot 1111;

[0067] Step 23: When the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are completely closed, the driving tapered needle 31 is completely released, and the critical point between the needle head 312 and the needle rod 311 contacts the deformable sheet 1211 to maximize the deformation degree of the deformable sheet 1211.

[0068] Specifically, in step 21, the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 move from the fully open mold state to the closed mold state. At this time, the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 have a stroke. The setting of this stroke provides space for the manipulator to place the insert 7 in step 1. In addition, the J-shaped guide post 21 is not in this stroke. This design can save the material of the J-shaped guide post 21; in step 22, the J-shaped guide post 21 and the slider 22 begin to contact and form a match; in step 23, the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are in a fully closed mold position, and the critical point of the needle head 312 and the needle rod 311 is in contact with the deformable sheet 1211 The two positions correspond to each other. Since the needle head 312 is a tapered structure with a gradually changing diameter, while the diameter of the needle rod 311 is constant, the deformable sheet 1211 gradually changes under the drive of the needle head 312. When the needle rod 311 contacts the deformable sheet 1211, the deformation degree of the deformable sheet 1211 is the largest, and the continued movement of the needle rod 311 cannot cause the deformable sheet 121 to continue to change. Therefore, under this position setting, the stroke of the needle head 312 and the needle rod 311 is the shortest, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the driving tapered needle 31 and improve the stability of the entire insert anti-jumping mechanism.

[0069] Please continue reading Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , wherein step 4 includes the following sub-steps:

[0070] Step 41: When the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are opened, the driving tapered needle 31 is immediately squeezed, and the needle head 312 immediately moves toward the deformable sheet 1211, so that the deformation of the deformable sheet 1211 is immediately reduced;

[0071] Step 42: In the first stroke of the upper mold assembly 4 driving the slider 22 to move upward, the J-shaped guide pillar 21 gradually drives the slider 22 to move leftward, and the slider 22 gradually squeezes and drives the tapered needle 31, so that the needle head 312 gradually releases the deformable sheet 1211, and then the deformable sheet 1211 gradually retracts into the empty slot 1111;

[0072] Step 43: In the second stroke in which the upper mold assembly 4 drives the slider 22 to move upward, the slider 22 and the J-shaped guide column 21 are in a disengaged state, the tip of the needle 312 cooperates with the deformable sheet 1211, and the deformable sheet 1211 is hidden in the insert mounting portion 111 through the empty groove 1111.

[0073] Specifically, during the entire injection molding process in step 3, the driving tapered needle 31 is always fully released, and the deformation degree of the deformable sheet 1211 is always in the maximum state, so as to prevent the insert 7 from jumping under a larger injection molding pressure; but when the mold needs to be opened in step 4, if the deformation degree of the deformable sheet 1211 is always in the maximum state, it is easy to damage the inner wall of the insert 7 when withdrawing, affecting the quality of the injection molded product 8; because in step 23, the position where the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are completely molded, the critical point of the needle head 312 and the needle rod 311 and the position where the deformable sheet 1211 contacts are corresponding to each other, so in step 41, when the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are opened, the driving tapered needle 31 can be squeezed immediately, and the needle head 31 2 immediately moves toward the deformable sheet 1211, so that the deformation of the deformable sheet 1211 is immediately reduced, thereby immediately reducing the force on the inside of the insert 7, and preventing the inner wall of the insert 7 from being damaged when withdrawing; in step 42, the J-shaped guide column 21 gradually drives the slider 22 to move leftward, so that the deformable sheet 1211 retracts to the empty groove 1111, so as to continue to reduce the force between the insert 7 and the insert installation portion 111, thereby improving the success rate of installing the insert 7 in the aforementioned step 1; in step 43, the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 continue to move relative to each other until they are in the fully open mold state at the beginning of step 21, so that the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are restored to the stroke at the beginning of step 21, so as to take out the manufactured injection molded product 8 and install a new insert 7.

[0074] Please continue reading Fig. 9 , wherein the J-shaped guide column 21 includes a compensation block 211, a connecting block 212 arranged at one end of the compensation block 211, and an inclined guide column 213 arranged at the other end of the compensation block 211; the slider 22 has an inclined hole 221; in step 22 and step 42, the inclined guide column 213 cooperates with the inclined hole 221 to drive the slider 22 to move left and right.

[0075] Please continue reading Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , wherein the lower mold assembly 5 has a first mounting groove 51; the connecting block 212 is arranged in the first mounting groove 51, so that the lower mold assembly 5 and the J-shaped guide column 21 are relatively stationary; the upper mold assembly 4 has a second mounting groove 41; the slider 22 is movably connected to the second mounting groove 41; in steps 22 and 42, the inclined guide column 213 moves up and down in the second mounting groove 41, so as to drive the slider 22 to move left and right through the inclined hole 221.

[0076] Please continue reading Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9, wherein the driving structure 2 includes a slider cover 23 arranged below the slider 22 and a limit block 24 arranged on the right side of the slider 22; the slider cover 23 is arranged in the second mounting groove 41 so that the upper mold assembly 4 drives the slider 22 to move up and down; the upper mold assembly 4 further has a third mounting groove 42, and the limit block 24 is arranged in the third mounting groove 42 so as to limit the stroke of the slider 22 moving to the right.

[0077] Specifically, the slider cover 23 is fixed in the second mounting groove 41 of the upper mold assembly 4 by fasteners, the lower end surface of the slider 22 is supported by the upper end surface of the slider cover 23, and the upper end surface of the slider 22 is supported by the upper end surface of the second mounting groove 41, so the slider 22 cannot move in the up and down directions. When the inclined guide column 213 interacts with the inclined hole 221, the slider 22 can only move left and right.

[0078] Furthermore, the slider cover plate 23 has a first avoidance groove 231 for avoiding the oblique guide pillar 213 so as to provide space for the up and down movement of the J-shaped guide pillar 21 .

[0079] Please continue reading Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The driving structure 2 includes a driving bevel block 25 arranged at one end of the slider 22; the end of the driving bevel block 25 pointing to the insert tightness control structure 3 has a first bevel surface 251; the insert tightness control structure 3 includes a base block 32, a movable block 33 arranged on the base block 32, a lining plate 34 arranged in the movable block 33, and an elastic member 35 arranged between the base block 32 and the lining plate 34; the upper end of the driving taper needle 31 is arranged in the movable block 33 and fixed by the lining plate 34; the movable block 33 has a second bevel surface 331 that matches the first bevel surface 251.

[0080] It can be understood that, since there are many other mechanisms between the upper mold assembly 4, the lower mold assembly 5 and the mold core 6, and the space is limited, if the slider 22 is used to directly interact with the insert tightness control structure 3, it will occupy a large space; therefore, the slender driving bevel block 25 cooperates with the movable block 33, which can save space and avoid interference with other mechanisms in the injection mold, and can also control the distance between the slider 22 and the insert tightness control structure 3, so that the slider 22 can be minimized while meeting the cooperation with the J-shaped guide column 21.

[0081] Please continue reading Fig.12 , wherein, in step 22 and step 42, the left and right movement of the driving bevel block 25 is converted into the up and down movement of the driving tapered needle 31 through the movable block 33 and the elastic member 35; in step 23 and step 41, the first bevel surface 251 and the second bevel surface 331 are in a fit state.

[0082] It is worth noting that the positions where the upper mold assembly 4 and the lower mold assembly 5 are completely closed and the positions where the critical points of the needle head 312 and the needle rod 311 contact the deformable sheet 1211 mentioned in step 23 and step 41 correspond to each other, and at this time, the first beveled surface 251 and the second beveled surface 331 are in a fitted state. Under this setting, once the mold is opened, the first beveled surface 251 and the second beveled surface 331 will immediately take effect and immediately drive the tapered needle 31 upward, thereby achieving the aforementioned immediate reduction in the deformation of the deformable sheet 1211 at the moment of mold opening, thereby immediately reducing the force on the inside of the insert 7 and preventing damage to the inner wall of the insert 7 during withdrawal.

[0083] Please continue reading Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , wherein the upper mold assembly 4 further has a fourth mounting groove 43 and a transition groove 44; the base block 32 and the movable block 33 are arranged in the fourth mounting groove 43; the driving bevel block 25 is arranged in the transition groove 44; in steps 22 and 42, the driving bevel block 25 moves left and right in the transition groove 44, and the movable block 33 moves up and down in the fourth mounting groove 43;

[0084] Specifically, the base block 32 is fixed in the fourth mounting groove 43 of the upper mold assembly 4 by fasteners. During the movement of the upper mold assembly 4, the base block 32 and the upper mold assembly 4 are relatively stationary, and the movable block 33 is movably connected to the fourth mounting groove 43 through the base block 32. When the first beveled surface 251 and the second beveled surface 331 act, the movable block 33 can move up and down in the fourth mounting groove 43.

[0085] Furthermore, the end of the driving bevel block 25 has a second avoidance groove 252 ; the second avoidance groove 252 avoids the driving taper needle 31 when the driving bevel block 25 moves left and right.
