Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of injection mold technology, and in particular to an injection mold for automotive trim parts. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molds are tools used to produce plastic products. Molten plastic is injected into the mold, and after cooling and solidification, a molded product is obtained. In the production of automotive trim parts, specific injection molds are required to produce the desired trim parts.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automotive trim component includes a plastic chassis 1, a mounting socket 2 disposed on the top of the plastic chassis 1, a mounting piece 11 connected to the side edge of the plastic chassis 1, and two plastic conduits 3 symmetrically disposed on the top of the plastic chassis 1. The mounting socket 2 and the mounting piece 11 are both symmetrically arranged about the two plastic conduits 3. The plastic conduits 3 are L-shaped and include a first conduit 31 and a second conduit 32. The second conduit 32 includes a first tube portion 321 and a second tube portion 322 along a direction away from the first conduit 31. The first tube portion 321 has a conduit annular groove 3211. The width of the mounting piece 11 gradually increases along a direction away from the plastic chassis 1. The mounting piece 11 forms a notch 12 with the circumferential sidewall of the plastic chassis 1. A metal insert 4 is disposed within the mounting socket 2. The metal insert 4 includes a horizontally arranged pin portion 41 and an inner portion 42 connected to the pin portion 41 and disposed inside the mounting socket 2. During the injection molding of the aforementioned automotive trim parts, the structure of the plastic conduit 3 having a conduit annular groove 3211 and the mounting plate 11 having a notch groove 12 between the plastic chassis 1 and the plastic conduit 3 causes the unidirectional core-pulling structure to interfere with the structure at the conduit annular groove 3211, making the unidirectional core-pulling structure unable to meet the core-pulling requirements of the aforementioned plastic conduit 3.

[0004] In view of the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe there is a need to provide an injection mold that can be applied to the aforementioned automotive trim injection molding process. Summary of the Invention

The second tube section has a molding insertion hole structure; the upper mold core has a molding upper part for molding the first tube section; the first core-pulling block has a molding lower part for molding the first tube section and cooperating with the molding upper part; the first core-pulling seat has a first slide rail arranged inclined upward along the core-pulling direction, and the first core-pulling block has a first slide groove cooperating with the first slide rail; the first core-pulling seat is provided with a first spring, and the first spring drives the first core-pulling block to always have a tendency to slide downward along the first slide rail; a first limiting mechanism is also provided between the first core-pulling seat and the first core-pulling block to limit the sliding range of the first core-pulling block; the top of the first core-pulling post abuts against the upper injection mold, and the first core-pulling seat is provided with a second spring for driving the first core-pulling post to be lifted up. When the injection mold of the automotive trim part is opened, the second spring drives the first core-pulling post to disengage from the notch groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the automotive trim part is formed in the injection cavity, the upper mold base moves upward relative to the lower mold base, and the upper part of the molded part separates from the upper half of the guide ring groove. The second spring pushes the first core-pulling post upward, so that the first core-pulling post separates from the notch groove. The first spring allows the first core-pulling block to move downward relative to the first core-pulling seat when the first core-pulling assembly is pulling the core, so that the lower part of the molded part moves vertically downward relative to the guide ring groove and separates from the lower half of the guide ring groove. The first limiting mechanism allows the first core-pulling seat to drive the first core-pulling block to move in the core-pulling direction under the action of the first driving mechanism after the lower part of the molded part separates from the lower half of the guide ring groove. The second core-pulling assembly allows the second core-pulling assembly to separate from the mounting socket along the core-pulling direction when the mold is opened. The injection mold for automotive trim parts provided in this application can realize the core-pulling action of the plastic guide, thereby realizing the injection molding of the above-mentioned automotive trim parts.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during mold opening, the first core-pulling seat moves towards the core-pulling direction under the drive of the first driving mechanism. The setting of the limiting protrusion allows the side wall of the vertical slide of the first core-pulling block to abut against the limiting protrusion. Under the drive of the limiting protrusion, the first core-pulling block can move downward relative to the first core-pulling seat along the vertical slide, so that the lower part of the molding separates downward from the guide ring groove. When the limiting protrusion separates from the vertical slide, the setting of the guide slide ensures that when the first core-pulling block and the first core-pulling seat move synchronously along the core-pulling direction, they will not interfere with the limiting column.

[0011] Optionally, the first limiting mechanism includes a first limiting groove formed in the first core-pulling seat and parallel to the first slide rail, and a first limiting post arranged in the first core-pulling block and cooperating with the first limiting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the first core-pulling assembly is disclosed. The setting of the first limiting groove and the first limiting post enables the first limiting groove to abut against the first limiting post at the end facing away from the core-pulling direction when the first core-pulling seat moves toward the core-pulling direction, thereby driving the first core-pulling block to move synchronously with the first core-pulling seat toward the core-pulling direction.

[0013] Optionally, the first core-pulling block has a first arrangement slot for arranging the first spring, the first arrangement slot being parallel to the first slide rail, and the first core-pulling seat is equipped with a first insert that is inserted into the first arrangement slot and is used for arranging the first spring.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the first arrangement groove enables the first spring to drive the first core-pulling block to move downward relative to the first core-pulling seat during mold opening; the setting of the first insertion post makes the stability of the first spring ideal during the compression / extension process, which helps to improve the stability of the first spring driving the first core-pulling block to move.

[0015] Optionally, the first core-pulling post includes a second body, a second sliding part, a second forming part disposed at the bottom of the second sliding part and used to form a notch, and a second driving plate connected to the top of the second body; the first core-pulling seat has an installation groove for arranging the first core-pulling post, the installation groove including a sliding groove for the second sliding part to slide up and down and a driving groove for the second driving plate to slide up and down; the bottom surface of the driving groove has a spring arrangement groove for arranging the second spring; a limiting plate for restricting the first core-pulling post from disengaging is installed on the top of the first core-pulling seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the first core-pulling post and the first core-pulling seat is disclosed; the setting of the second molding part can realize the molding of the notch groove; the setting of the second spring can push the first core-pulling post upward when the mold is opened, thereby separating the second molding part from the notch groove; the cooperation between the second sliding part and the sliding groove body and the cooperation between the second driving plate and the driving groove body can drive the second sliding part and the second driving plate to move upward along the sliding groove body and the driving groove body respectively when the mold is opened, which helps to improve the stability of the first core-pulling post when it moves upward; the setting of the limiting plate ensures that the second spring will not separate from the first core-pulling seat when it drives the first core-pulling post to move upward.

[0017] Optionally, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving block slidably mounted on the lower mold base along the core-pulling direction of the first core-pulling assembly, a driving link connected to the first driving block, and a driving cylinder mounted on the lower mold base for driving the first driving block to move; the driving link has a piston rod groove for inserting the piston rod of the driving cylinder; both first core-pulling seats are fixedly mounted on the first driving block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the first driving mechanism is disclosed. When the mold is opened, the driving cylinder can drive the first driving block to move toward the core-pulling direction of the first core-pulling assembly. Since the two first core-pulling seats are fixedly installed on the first driving block, the two first core-pulling seats can move synchronously with the first driving block to realize the core-pulling action. The setting of the piston rod groove ensures that the piston rod of the driving cylinder always maintains the same contact position with the driving connecting rod during the extension / contraction process, which helps to improve the stability when the driving cylinder drives the first driving block to move.

[0019] Optionally, the piston rod of the driving cylinder is provided with limiting planes on both the upper and lower sides; the limiting plane on the upper side is in contact with the inner top surface of the piston rod groove, and the limiting plane on the lower side is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the piston rod groove.

[0059] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the first core-pulling seat 531 moves along the core-pulling direction, the end face of the limiting protrusion 5341 facing away from the core-pulling direction abuts against the end face of the vertical slide groove 5324 facing away from the core-pulling direction, causing the first core-pulling block 532 to move vertically downward under the drive of the limiting protrusion 5341, thereby causing the lower forming part 5321 to disengage vertically downward from the guide annular groove 3211 of the first tube part 321. After the lower forming part 5321 disengages from the guide annular groove 3211 of the first tube part 321, the limiting protrusion 5341 disengages from the vertical slide groove 5324 and aligns with the guide slide groove 5325.

[0060] Reference Figure 12 To limit the sliding range of the first core-pulling block 532 on the first core-pulling seat 531, a first limiting mechanism is also provided between the first core-pulling block 532 and the first core-pulling seat 531. The first limiting mechanism includes a first limiting groove 53114 formed at the bottom of the first mounting groove 5311 and a first limiting post 535 installed on the first core-pulling block 532 and cooperating with the first limiting groove 53114.

The second core-pulling seat 551 has a second locking surface 5512 that is inclined downward on the side opposite to the second core-pulling seat 551 and abuts against the upper mold seat 61 when the mold is closed.

[0065] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 16 The bottom of the second core-pulling seat 551 is provided with a driving through groove 5513, which is a U-shaped groove structure that runs through the upper and lower surfaces and opens in the core-pulling direction. The inner wall of the driving through groove 5513 is symmetrically provided with limiting arrangement grooves 5514, within which a limiting rod 5515 and an elastic element 5516 are slidably installed. The limiting rod 5515 includes a limiting body 55151 and a second limiting block 55152 arranged at the bottom of the limiting body 55151. The limiting body 55151 has an elastic arrangement groove 55153 for inserting the elastic element 5516. The limiting arrangement groove 5514 includes a second sliding groove 55141 for sliding of the limiting body 55151 and a second abutment groove 55142 communicating with the second sliding groove 55141 and for arranging the second limiting block 55152. One end of the elastic element 5516 abuts against the bottom surface of the elastic arrangement groove 55153 and the other end abuts against the second core pull seat 551, so that the second limiting block 55152 always tends to abut against the side end face of the second abutment groove 55142 facing the drive through groove 5513. The limiting rod 5515 also has a second limiting head 55154 extending from the limiting arrangement groove 5514 to the drive through groove 5513. The second limiting head 55154 has a guide slope 55155 on the side facing the opening of the drive through groove 5513 and an abutment plane 55156 on the side facing away from the opening of the drive through groove 5513.

[0066] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 17The second core-pulling block 552 is detachably installed in the second mounting groove 5517. The second core-pulling block 552 also has a second limiting groove 5521 for engaging with the second protrusion 5518, so that when the second core-pulling seat 551 moves in the core-pulling direction, the second core-pulling seat 551 can drive the second core-pulling block 552 to move in the core-pulling direction. The end of the second core-pulling block 552 has a pin seat 5522. The pin seat 5522 has a mounting hole 5523 for mounting the pin part 41 of the metal rod 4 at one end facing away from the core-pulling direction. In this embodiment, there are four mounting holes 5523 arranged side by side along the width direction of the pin seat 5522. The second core-pulling block 552 is also provided with a support protrusion 5524 for supporting the built-in part 42 of the metal insert 4 on one end face opposite to the core-pulling direction. In this embodiment, there are three support protrusions 5524 and they are arranged side by side along the width direction of the second core-pulling block 552.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 16 The injection mold 6 also includes a drive slant rod 63 mounted on the upper mold base 61 and arranged downwardly in the core-pulling direction towards the second core-pulling assembly 55, and a clamping plate 64 for locking the second core-pulling block 552 in the second mounting groove 5517. The drive slant rod 63 has a slant rod abutment surface 631 on the side facing the core-pulling direction. During mold opening, the slant rod abutment surface 631 abuts against the abutment plane 55156 of the second limiting head 55154. When the upper mold base 61 moves upward, the drive slant rod 63 can drive the second core-pulling block 551 to move in the core-pulling direction. When the mold is closed, the upper mold base 61 moves downward, and one end of the drive bar 63 facing away from the bar abutment surface 631 abuts against the guide slope 55155 of the second limiting head 55154, so that the limiting bar 5515 slides into the limiting arrangement groove 5514, thereby allowing the drive bar 63 to slide past the second limiting head 55154 and move towards the bottom of the drive through groove 5513.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The upper mold base 61 is also provided with a first locking module 65 for abutting and cooperating with the first driving block 541 and a second locking module 66 for abutting and cooperating with the second core-pulling base 551. The first locking module 65 has a first locking mold structure that cooperates with the first locking mold surface 5412, and the second locking module 66 has a second locking mold structure that cooperates with the second locking mold surface 5512. The first locking mold structure includes a first locking template 651 installed on the first locking module 65 and a first abutting surface 652 arranged on the first locking template 651 and inclined downward toward the core-pulling direction of the first core-pulling assembly 53; the second locking mold structure includes a second locking template 661 installed on the second locking module 66 and a second abutting surface 662 arranged on the second locking template 661 and inclined downward toward the core-pulling direction of the second core-pulling assembly 55. When the injection mold of the automotive trim part is closed, the first locking mold surface 5412 abuts with the first abutting surface 652, and the second locking mold surface 5512 abuts with the second abutting surface 662.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 17 The implementation principle of an injection mold for automotive trim parts according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the injection mold for automotive trim parts is closed, the upper injection mold 6 moves downward relative to the lower injection mold 5, and the upper forming part 621 of the upper mold base 61 and the lower forming part 5321 of the first core-pulling block 532 close together. After injection molding is completed and when the mold is opened, the upper injection mold 6 moves upward relative to the lower injection mold 5, and the driving cylinder 543 drives the first core-pulling seat 531 to move toward the core-pulling direction of the first core-pulling assembly 53. Under the action of the first spring 5319 and the limiting column 534, the lower forming part 5321 moves downward and disengages from the guide ring groove 3211; then, under the action of the first limiting mechanism, the first core-pulling block 532 and the first core-pulling seat 531 move synchronously toward the core-pulling direction; the driving rod 63 drives the second core-pulling seat 551 to move toward the core-pulling direction of the second core-pulling assembly 55, so that the pin part 41 disengages from the mounting hole 5523.

[0070] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
