Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to a decorative ring injection mold and its injection method. Background Technology
[0002] The decorative frame is an important component of automotive lights. Due to its special position and purpose within the light, the decorative frame is exposed, and the surface of the product requires texture, high gloss, and electroplating, resulting in a very high appearance. At the same time, the product is mounted on the lens, and its exterior decoration serves to cover and decorate. Under the strong light of the lens, any defects in the product's appearance become more obvious. The product is usually small, but has a relatively complex structure. Solving the problem of structural demolding within a compact space while ensuring the product's appearance greatly increases the difficulty of mold development. Its appearance and function are indispensable parts of automotive lights.
[0003] Moreover, the product has a small space, and structural design on the product can easily lead to uneven cooling, imprint marks, and color differences. During the design process, it is necessary to focus on making the mold movement structure smaller to reduce color differences caused by uneven cooling due to the structure. It is also necessary to fully consider the cooling of the thin steel parts of the product to avoid color differences on the product's appearance due to heat accumulation in the thin steel.
[0004] After the product is injection molded, the gate needs to be trimmed. However, most trimming methods involve removing the product and investing a lot of labor costs, which can easily reduce the product's pass rate. Therefore, we propose a decorative ring injection mold and its injection method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a decorative ring injection mold and its injection molding method, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a decorative ring injection mold, comprising an injection structure, wherein the injection structure includes a fixed mold base, the fixed mold base having a cavity, and a movable mold base below the fixed mold base capable of vertical displacement, the movable mold base having an insert, the insert in the movable mold base being able to mate with the cavity in the fixed mold base, and a gap being left between the insert and the cavity to form a decorative ring product, the fixed mold base having a flow channel communicating with the gap, and molten liquid being able to be injected along the flow channel into the cavity. The insert in the gap can be used to cool the injection-molded decorative ring product. The outside of the moving mold base is provided with a mold locking buckle assembly that can lock the contact between the fixed mold base and the moving mold base. The fixed mold base and the moving mold base are provided with an automatic gate shearing assembly that can automatically shear the gate in the runner when the fixed mold base and the moving mold base are opened. The moving mold base is provided with an ejector core pulling assembly that can cooperate with the insert and can eject the injection-molded decorative ring product between the cavity and the insert and can perform a release buckle action.
[0009] Furthermore, the insert includes a base, on which a 3D printed insert connected to the base is provided, and the 3D printed insert has conformal cooling water channels arranged along the interior of the 3D printed insert.
[0010] Furthermore, one side of the 3D printed insert is higher than the other side. The inlet of the conformal cooling water channel is located at the bottom of the base. The conformal cooling water channel is irregularly arranged along the internal shape of the 3D printed insert. The outlet of the conformal cooling water channel is located at the bottom of the base. The height of the inlet side of the conformal cooling water channel is lower than the height of the outlet side. The 3D printed insert is fastened to the base with bolts. The 3D grafting printing principle of the 3D printed insert in this solution is as follows: The principle of 3D printing technology is to use a high-energy laser beam to sinter metal powder material in a selected area, layer by layer, to form a shape that is close to the CAD drawing. Grafting printing, on the other hand, only builds up the parts to be printed under the premise of selecting the base. Then, the whole part is heat-treated and tempered to relieve stress. Combined with ordinary machining, excess steel is removed to complete the final part forming. As shown in the diagram, the insert is divided into two parts (base + 3D printing). The base is manufactured using conventional machining, and then 3D printing is used to fuse them together layer by layer, ultimately forming a single, integrated insert. This solves the problem of difficult cooling around the protruding sharp corners, and the conformal cooling water channels ensure uniform cooling of the product, thus guaranteeing its appearance, reducing the molding cycle, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the base can be procured and machined conventionally, while 3D printing only the necessary parts reduces costs.
[0011] Furthermore, the mold locking assembly includes a locking module, which is installed in the moving mold base and can contact the surface of the fixed mold base. The locking module is provided with a locking element that can be inserted into the fixed mold base and lock the fixed mold base. To unlock the mold locking mechanism: manually pull out the pin, remove the locking module, rotate it 180°, and place it on the corresponding hole on the fixed mold side. Then insert the pin into the fixing threaded pin. The mold locking mechanism will open, and the mold can be opened. To close the mold locking mechanism: manually pull out the pin, remove the locking module, rotate it 180°, and place it on the corresponding locking hole of the moving and fixed molds. Then insert the pin into the fixing threaded pin. The mold locking mechanism will close, and the mold can be lifted and moved.
[0012] Furthermore, the lock module can be embedded in the moving mold base, and the locking element includes a fixed threaded pin, which is threadedly installed in the lock module, and the fixed threaded pin is provided with a pin that can be inserted into the lock module.
[0013] Furthermore, the automatic gate shearing assembly includes a pull buckle, which is installed in the moving mold base. The fixed mold base has a shovel, and the pull buckle can drive the shovel to move during mold opening operations. The fixed mold base has a swing arm that can contact the shovel, and the shovel can drive the swing arm to rotate during movement. The fixed mold base has a connecting guide block connected to the swing arm and capable of vertical displacement along the interior of the fixed mold base. The fixed mold base also has a cutter connected to the connecting guide block and capable of automatically shearing the gate in the runner. The mold opening shearing working principle is as follows: When the mold opens, the pull buckle is fixed on the moving mold base. The pull buckle drives the shovel to move (while simultaneously compressing the spring). The shovel's movement drives the swing arm to rotate around its axis. The swing arm drives the connecting guide block and the cutter to move (while simultaneously compressing the spring). The cutter squeezes the runner and cuts off the gate. At this point, the pull buckle has just completed driving the shovel, and the mold opening action is complete. The spring and springs that were compressed during the previous action will quickly return to their original state after the pull buckle completely releases its drive.
[0014] Furthermore, the pull buckle is installed in the moving mold base by bolts, the shovel is provided with a first return spring that is connected to the interior of the fixed mold base and has elastic return, the fixed mold base is provided with a swing rod guide block for limiting and guiding the swing rod, the swing rod is installed in the swing rod guide block through a rotating shaft, the swing rod guide block is provided with a swing rod limiting block that can be inserted into the fixed mold base, the connecting guide block is provided with a second return spring that is connected to the interior of the fixed mold base and has elastic return, and the cutter is installed at the bottom end of the connecting guide block by bolts; the automatic gate shearing assembly is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving mold base.
[0015] Furthermore, the ejection core-pulling assembly includes multiple ejector rods, which are disposed in the moving mold base and are movable. The insert has an ejector block adapted to the insert, and the surface of the ejector block has a cover plate for assisting in the formation of the decorative ring product. The core-pulling device is sequentially arranged in the ejector block. The ejector rods can drive the ejector block to eject the decorative ring product. During the movement of the ejector block, the core-pulling device moves and achieves the unhooking action. Ejection-synchronized core-pulling action: The injection molding machine drives the lower ejector plate, which drives the ejector rod to push the ejector block out of the product. The core-pulling device is installed in the ejector block. At the same time as ejection, the core-pulling guide block is fixed in the moving mold base and does not move with the ejection. However, the core-pulling guide block is connected to the core-pulling dovetail groove, which allows the core-pulling device to retract inward during the ejection process with the ejector block, achieving the unhooking action.
[0016] Furthermore, a square iron plate that can contact the moving mold base is provided below the moving mold base. A lower ejector plate is provided within the square iron plate, and an upper ejector plate is provided above the lower ejector plate. An ejector block fixing seat connected to the ejector rod is provided within the upper ejector plate. A locking bolt that can be inserted into the upper ejector plate and can limit and lock the ejector rod is provided within the lower ejector plate. A core-pulling guide block is provided within the insert, and the core-pulling component can be displaced along the surface of the core-pulling guide block. An ejector block guide rod that can be loosely fitted with the ejector rod is provided within the moving mold base. A moving mold fixing plate that can be connected to the square iron plate is provided below the square iron plate. A dovetail block is provided at the top of the core-pulling guide block, and a dovetail groove adapted to the dovetail block is provided within the core-pulling component.
[0017] Furthermore, the injection molding method for the ring mold includes:
[0018] Step 1: During injection molding, the moving mold base can be moved by the injection molding machine, so that the moving mold base and the fixed mold base are tightly attached. Then, the fixing threaded pin can be inserted into the locking module, and the pin can be inserted into the fixing threaded pin, thereby locking the fixed mold base and the moving mold base, which facilitates the injection molding operation of the decorative ring product.
[0019] Step 2: After the molten liquid is injected into the gap between the cavity and the insert along the runner, cooling water can be injected into the conformal cooling water channel in the insert to accelerate the solidification of the molten liquid and make the product cool evenly until the decorative ring product is formed; Step 3: After the decorative ring product is formed, the pin, fixing threaded pin and locking module in Step 1 need to be removed in sequence. Then, the moving mold base and the fixed mold base can be opened. During the mold opening operation, the pull buckle drives the shovel to move. At the same time, the first return spring is compressed. When the shovel moves, it drives the rocker arm to rotate around the rotating shaft. During the rotation of the rocker arm, it drives the connecting guide block and the cutter to move. At the same time, the second return spring is compressed. The cutter will squeeze the runner and cut off the gate. At this time, the pull buckle just completes the drive of the shovel. The mold opening action is completed. After the pull buckle is completely released from the drive, the first return spring and the second return spring reset, so that the above-mentioned components are reset. Step 4: After the gate is cut, the fixed mold base and the moving mold base are separated. At this time, the lower ejector plate can be driven to move, so that the ejector pin can drive the ejector block to move, thereby ejecting the product. At the same time as ejection, the core puller moves along the surface of the core puller guide block, so that the core puller moves inward during the ejection movement with the ejector block, thereby realizing the unhooking action.
[0020] The product in this design requires not only a good appearance but also stable strength and high-temperature resistance. PC2407 high-temperature material is typically used. The material needs to be dried at 120°C for 4-6 hours beforehand. The molding temperature is 300-320°C, and the mold temperature is 120°C. The molding conditions are quite stringent. To reduce costs, customers usually opt for a wall thickness of 2.0mm. The injection pressure is generally between 90-130MPa, and the injection speed should not be too fast, with a filling speed of around 40mm / s. Otherwise, silver streaks and air bubbles may easily form on the product's appearance. Based on these adjustments, the product is molded under high pressure, high temperature, and slow speed. The dimensions of this product are 179X204X117mm (Note: 117 is the height of the mold in the demolding direction). The material is PC2407 thermoplastic. This material has the characteristics of a 0.6% shrinkage rate, good light transmittance, good heat resistance, low shrinkage, and high dimensional accuracy.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this decorative ring injection mold and its injection method, through the design of the locking buckle assembly and other structures, make the solution easy to assemble and disassemble, simple to process, and require no tools. The locking buckle is easy to operate, allowing for quick opening and closing without any tools. The automatic gate shearing assembly utilizes the principle of accelerated movement of the swing rod structure during mold opening to simultaneously achieve automatic gate shearing, saving mold cycle time and avoiding problems such as insufficient hydraulic cylinder driving force causing gate incomplete shearing. The mechanical structure is safe, reliable, and practical, requiring minimal space in the mold and usable in most environments. The standardized structure only requires cutter replacement, simplifying maintenance and improving production efficiency, resulting in significant economic value. The ejector core-pulling assembly utilizes the ejector's own driving force to simultaneously eject and disengage the core-pulling structure, saving molding cycle time. The structure is safe, stable, and space-saving, allowing for space-saving water channel layout. Attached Figure Description

8. The injection molding method for the decorative ring injection mold according to claim 1, characterized in that: The injection molding method includes: Step 1: During injection molding, the moving mold base (3) can be moved by the injection molding machine, so that the moving mold base (3) and the fixed mold base (2) are in close contact. Then, the fixing threaded pin (15) can be inserted into the locking module (12), and the pin (16) can be inserted into the fixing threaded pin (15), so that the fixed mold base (2) and the moving mold base (3) can be locked, which facilitates the injection molding operation of the decorative ring product (41). Step 2: After the molten liquid is injected into the gap between the cavity (7) and the insert (8) along the flow channel (17), cooling water can be injected into the conformal cooling water channel (11) in the insert (8) to accelerate the solidification of the molten liquid and make the product cool evenly until the decorative ring product (41) is formed. Step 3: After the decorative ring product (41) is formed, the pin (16), the fixed threaded pin (15), and the locking module (12) from Step 1 need to be removed in sequence. Then, the moving mold base (3) and the fixed mold base (2) can be opened. During the mold opening operation, the pull buckle (18) can drive the shovel (19) to move, and at the same time, the first return spring (25) will be compressed. When the shovel (19) moves, it drives the swing arm (20) to rotate around the rotating shaft (24). (20) During the rotation, the drive connecting guide block (21) and cutter (22) move, and at the same time, the second return spring (26) is compressed. The cutter (22) will squeeze the runner (17) and cut off the gate. At this time, the pull buckle (18) just completes the drive of the shovel (19). The mold opening action is completed. After the pull buckle (18) is completely released from the drive, the first return spring (25) and the second return spring (26) reset, thereby resetting the above components. Step 4: After the gate is cut, the fixed mold base (2) and the moving mold base (3) are separated. At this time, the lower ejector plate (32) can be driven to move, so that the ejector rod (27) can drive the ejector block (28) to move, thereby ejecting the product. At the same time as ejection, the core puller (30) moves along the surface of the core puller guide block (35), so that the core puller (30) moves inward during the ejection movement with the ejector block (28), thereby realizing the unhooking action.
