Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of injection molds, in particular to a connector injection mold. Background Art

[0002] Injection molds are important molding equipment in the plastic processing industry. They are mainly used to make various plastic products from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics. They can efficiently and accurately produce a large number of products with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy requirements, such as automotive parts, home appliance housings, etc. The quality of injection molds directly affects the quality, production efficiency and cost of plastic products, and plays a key role in modern manufacturing.

[0003] The existing injection mold is mainly composed of a cavity, a core, a gate, a runner, an ejector mechanism and a guide component. Its working principle is: after the plastic raw material is heated and melted in the injection molding machine, it is injected into the gap between the cavity and the core of the mold through the runner and the gate. When the plastic is cooled and solidified in the cavity, the mold is opened and the ejector mechanism ejects the molded plastic product from the cavity, thus completing an injection molding cycle.

[0004] At present, the injection mold in the prior art has the following disadvantages: the demoulding pressure control lacks precision. When demoulding, the ejector system applies a constant and uniform pressure to the product. However, when the plastic product is formed, the cooling and shrinkage of each part are different, resulting in a large difference in demoulding resistance. This makes it difficult to demould smoothly at the part with large demoulding resistance, while the part with small demoulding resistance will be deformed and cracked due to excessive ejection force, which seriously affects the product yield. Secondly, the existing mold cannot meet the demoulding requirements of different products, because the demoulding pressure of the product changes after each injection molding, and the fixed ejector pressure setting of the existing mold is difficult to adjust the specific demoulding pressure for plastic products with complex shapes and variable structures, which limits the adaptability of the mold to different products, thereby increasing the mold development and production costs. Therefore, a connector injection mold is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Specific examples are given below.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 7The present invention discloses a connector injection mold, comprising a fixed mold assembly 1 and a movable mold assembly 2 matched therewith, wherein the fixed mold assembly 1 comprises a first base 11 and a fixed mold 3, wherein the fixed mold 3 is provided with a first mold cavity 4, wherein the movable mold assembly 2 comprises a second base 21 and a movable mold 5, wherein the movable mold 5 is provided with a second mold cavity 6 matched with the first mold cavity 4, and further comprises a sliding auxiliary molding mechanism 7, and a driving mechanism 8 for driving the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 to move, wherein the fixed mold assembly 1 comprises an ejector mechanism 9 for discharging materials, and wherein the fixed mold assembly 1 further comprises an injection port 10 for injection molding; wherein the base 11 is provided with a first movable groove 12 and a second movable groove 13 matched with the auxiliary molding mechanism 7, wherein the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 is provided with a first movable groove 12 and a second movable groove 13, wherein the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 is provided with a first movable groove 13 and a second movable groove 13, wherein the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 is provided with a first movable groove 12 ... The forming mechanism 7 includes a first moving block 14 slidably arranged in the first movable groove 12, an auxiliary block 15 is clamped on one side of the first moving block 14, a forming column 16 is arranged on one side of the auxiliary block 15, a first inclined hole 17 is opened on the first moving block 14, the auxiliary forming mechanism 7 also includes a second moving block 18 slidably arranged in the second movable groove 13, a forming rod 19 is fixedly arranged on one side of the second moving block 18, and a second inclined hole 20 is opened on the second moving block 18, the driving mechanism 8 includes a first linkage rod 22 fixedly mounted on the second base 21 and matched with the first inclined hole 17, and also includes a second linkage rod 23 fixedly mounted on the second base 21 and matched with the second inclined hole 20;During operation, when the injection mold starts the mold closing process, the movable mold assembly 2 moves smoothly toward the fixed mold assembly 1 based on the power drive of the injection molding machine. During this process, the first linkage rod 22 and the second linkage rod 23 firmly assembled on the second base 21 will move together with the movable mold assembly 2. As the movable mold 5 gradually approaches the fixed mold 3, the first linkage rod 22 slides in the first inclined hole 17 preset on the first moving block 14, and the second linkage rod 23 synchronously slides in the second inclined hole 20 of the second moving block 18. Due to the unique guiding characteristics of the inclined holes, during the continuous advancement of the movable mold 5, the first moving block 14 slides along the first movable groove 12, and the second moving block 18 slides accordingly in the second movable groove 13. This sliding process drives the auxiliary block 15, the molding column 16 and the molding rod 19 to accurately reach the preset molding operation position, providing indispensable assistance for the molding of plastic products, wherein the molding column 16 is inserted into the first mold cavity 4 and the second mold cavity 6 for molding the first through hole 011 in the product connector 01, wherein the molding rod 1 9 is inserted into the second through hole 012 in the first mold cavity 4 and the second mold cavity 6 for molding the product connector 01. When the injection molding process is completed and the mold opening stage is entered, the movable mold assembly 2 moves in the opposite direction according to the injection molding machine instruction. At this time, the first linkage rod 22 and the second linkage rod 23 again rely on the guiding effect of the inclined hole to drive the first moving block 14 and the second moving block 18 to slide in the opposite direction, prompting the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 to accurately reset to the initial state, so that the auxiliary block 15, the molding column 16, and the molding rod 19 leave the first mold cavity 4 and the second mold cavity 6, which is convenient for subsequent product demolding and fully prepared for the next round of injection molding. The automatic control realized by the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 and the driving mechanism 8 greatly reduces the manual operation links, which not only effectively improves the production efficiency, but also significantly enhances the stability and reliability of the production process. In addition, this design greatly improves the versatility of the mold. For products with different structures and shapes, only some parts of the auxiliary molding mechanism 7 need to be properly adjusted to achieve efficient molding, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost and development cycle of the mold. ;

[0030] Furthermore, the ejector mechanism 9 includes a push plate 24, a cylinder body 25 is fixedly provided on one side of the push plate 24, an air-filling chamber 31 and an active chamber 32 are divided in the cylinder body 25 by a limit ring 29, an ejector pin 26 and a piston 27 for discharging are movably provided in the active chamber 32, one end of the ejector pin 26 extends into the first mold cavity 4, a pressure sensor 36 is fixedly provided on the end of the ejector pin 26 close to the first mold cavity 4, a spring 28 is terminated between the piston 27 and the ejector pin 26, a branch pipe 30 is provided on the outside of the cylinder body 25 at the air-filling chamber 31, an electromagnetic valve 33 is provided on the branch pipe 30, the other end of the branch pipe 30 is connected to a main air pipe 34, the main air pipe 34 is connected to an external air source, and the air-filling chamber 31 is connected to the main air pipe 34. An air pressure sensor 35 is arranged in the cavity 31; during operation, when the product is cooled after the injection molding process is completed, the demoulding process is immediately started. At this time, an external driving device such as a cylinder pushes the push plate 24 to move, and a plurality of ejector pins 26 simultaneously apply thrust to the product. In this process, the pressure sensor 36 equipped at the front end of each ejector pin 26, like a sensitive tactile nerve, captures the pressure changes at the contact point between the ejector pin 26 and the product in real time, and transmits these pressure data to the data processing end of the controller at a speed of milliseconds. At the same time, the air pressure sensor 35 in each cylinder body 25 also continuously monitors the air pressure value inside the inflation cavity 31, and synchronously feeds back the data to the controller. When the pressure sensor 36 of a certain ejector pin 26 detects that the pressure is low, it means that the position The product can be demoulded relatively easily. The controller responds quickly and accurately controls the solenoid valve 33 corresponding to the ejector pin 26 to reduce the gas input from the main air pipe 34 to the air charging chamber 31. As the air pressure in the air charging chamber 31 decreases, the force pushing the piston 27 to move is weakened, and the compression degree of the spring 28 is reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the thrust of the ejector pin 26 on the product accordingly. On the contrary, if the ejector pin 26 pressure sensor 36 senses a large pressure, indicating that the product at this position is difficult to demould, the controller immediately controls the corresponding solenoid valve 33 to increase the air intake of the air charging chamber 31 and increase the air pressure. Under the action of high air pressure, the piston 27 pushes the spring 28 to be further compressed, and the thrust of the ejector pin 26 on the product is significantly enhanced. Through this closed-loop feedback and intelligent control mechanism, each Ejector pin 26 can achieve highly adaptive and precise adjustment according to the actual demoulding pressure of different parts of the product. This intelligent and adaptive ejector pin adjustment system can accurately apply force according to the specific needs of the product, greatly improving the demoulding quality of the product, and fundamentally eliminating common defects such as product deformation and cracking caused by improper ejection force, significantly improving the product yield rate and reducing scrap losses. In addition, the system has strong adaptability and can automatically adapt to the fluctuations in demoulding pressure of different batches of products without frequent manual intervention and adjustment, effectively improving the degree of automation and overall efficiency of production, and reducing unnecessary impact on the mold and product by accurately controlling the ejection force, extending the service life of the mold, and reducing long-term production costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the first mold cavity 4 includes a product cavity 37, an auxiliary cavity 38, and an injection channel 39 communicated with the injection port 10, and the ejector pin 26 acts on the product cavity 37, the auxiliary cavity 38, and the injection channel 39; during operation, in the injection stage, high-temperature and high-pressure plastic melt is injected into the injection channel 39 at a high speed through the injection port 10, and the injection channel 39 serves as a conveying pipe for the melt. With its reasonable design, it guides the plastic melt to be quickly and evenly diverted to the product cavity 37 and the auxiliary cavity 38. During the filling process, the plastic melt gradually fills the entire mold cavity with its own fluidity and injection pressure, completing the preliminary molding of the plastic product. At the same time, a key surface connected to the product but independent of the product is formed in the auxiliary cavity 38 and the injection channel 39. The ejector mechanism 9 starts to work when the injection molding is completed and the demoulding process begins. A number of ejectors 26 do not act directly on the product itself, but on the structure formed together with the product in the auxiliary cavity 38 and the structure formed on the injection channel 39 according to the preset program. In particular, the ejector 26 will avoid the position with a through hole on the product to prevent the through hole from being deformed due to external force during the demoulding process. This ingenious ejection method not only ensures that the product can be smoothly separated from the mold cavity, but also avoids damage to the product surface and key structures. The scientific and reasonable cavity structure design and the precise ejector action mode work closely together, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality production of plastic products.

[0032] Furthermore, the four corners of the movable mold 5 are provided with positioning grooves 40, and the four corners of the fixed mold 3 are fixedly provided with positioning protrusions 41 that match the positioning grooves 40; during operation, when the injection molding machine issues a mold closing command, the movable mold 5 is driven by the mechanical device and moves steadily toward the fixed mold 3. In the process of approaching the fixed mold 3, the positioning protrusions 41 at the four corners of the fixed mold 3 gradually approach the corresponding positioning grooves 40 on the movable mold 5. As the movable mold 5 is further advanced, the positioning protrusions 41 are accurately inserted into the positioning grooves 40, limiting any displacement deviation of the movable mold 5 in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the movable mold 5 and the fixed mold 3 achieve extremely high position accuracy when closing the mold. This precise positioning process enables the first mold cavity 4 and the second mold cavity 6 to achieve perfect matching, creating ideal conditions for the precise molding of plastic products.
