Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molds, and in particular to a cooling structure applied to a mold. Background Art

[0002] Injection molds usually consist of two parts: an upper mold base assembly and a lower mold base assembly. The material molten at high temperature is filled into each mold under high pressure to produce corresponding plastic parts according to the internal shape of the mold.

[0003] In order to improve the production efficiency of plastic parts, a cooling pipeline structure is usually added to the mold. Cooling water enters the mold through the pipeline structure, thereby reducing the temperature at the mold core and accelerating the cooling and shaping of the plastic parts.

[0004] However, in the mold design process, it is often encountered that the cooling water cannot reach the parts of the plastic parts that need to be cooled due to the limitations of the plastic parts structure. For example, the parts of the plastic parts that need to be formed by the core pulling structure cannot leave processing space for the cooling water to circulate effectively due to the small cross-section of the pulling rod. This also makes this part unable to be cooled by water cooling, causing the plastic parts to deform due to uneven cooling, thereby reducing the quality of the plastic parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a cooling structure applied to the mold, including an upper mold base, a lower mold base, an upper mold core, a lower mold core, a slide assembly, a side pull-out rod and a bottom pull-out rod, the upper mold base and the lower mold base are respectively connected to the upper mold core and the lower mold core, the upper mold core is slidably connected to the slide assembly, and the slide assembly is provided with a side pull-out rod for core pulling, the lower mold core is fixedly connected to the bottom pull-out rod vertically distributed with the side pull-out rod, and also includes a solenoid valve for controlling the on and off of the cooling gas, the solenoid valve is fixedly connected to one side of the upper mold base and / or the lower mold base, the upper mold core is located above the moving path of the slide assembly and is provided with a first air hole for cooling the side pull-out rod, the lower mold base is provided with a second air hole for cooling the bottom pull-out rod, the first air hole and the second air hole are respectively connected to an external air source through the solenoid valve, when the upper mold base and the lower mold base are molded, the slide assembly blocks the first air hole, and the upper mold base / upper mold core blocks the second air hole.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the upper mold base and the lower mold base are molded together, the upper mold core and the lower mold core form a cavity for injection molding. At this time, the slide assembly controls the side pull-out rod to abut against the bottom pull-out rod, and vertically distributed air holes are formed in the plastic part through the side pull-out rod and the bottom pull-out rod, and the slide assembly and the upper mold core respectively block the first air hole and the second air hole to prevent the material from flowing into the first air hole and the second air hole; when the plastic part is cooled and formed, the upper mold base and the lower mold base are separated, and the slide assembly makes the side pull-out rod move away from the bottom pull-out rod through the action of the inclined ejector rod. At this time, the first air hole and the second air hole are opened accordingly, and the solenoid valve controls the cold air to flow out from the first air hole and the second air hole respectively, thereby cooling the upper mold core, the lower mold core and the plastic part, so that the plastic part is cooled evenly as a whole, the cooling time required for the mold is reduced, and the production efficiency of the plastic part is improved. Compared with the traditional mold, its production efficiency is improved by 22%.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the diameter of the first air inlet duct is greater than the diameter of the first air hole, and by changing the cross-sectional areas of the first air inlet duct and the first air hole, the flow rate of the gas flowing out of the first air hole is increased, thereby increasing the cooling effect of air cooling.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the slide seat assembly includes an inclined top seat, a sliding seat and a bushing, the inclined top seat is provided with a side sliding block and a clamping groove, and an inclined hole for guiding the movement of the side pull-out rod, the sliding seat is provided with an I-shaped portion adapted to the clamping groove, and the sliding seat is provided with an inner hole passing through the I-shaped portion, the inner hole sleeve is provided with a bushing, the bushing is provided with a first countersunk hole for installing the side pull-out rod, and the side pull-out rod is clamped between the bushing and the inclined top seat.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: the lower mold base is provided with an adapter seat and a second air inlet, the adapter seat is provided with an inner cavity and a second air hole, the solenoid valve is connected with the second air inlet and the inner cavity in sequence, the lower mold core is provided with a second countersunk hole, the bottom pull-out rod is vertically distributed on the lower mold base through the second countersunk hole, the opening of the second air hole is facing the direction of the bottom pull-out rod, and the upper mold base is provided with a rectangular groove adapted to the adapter seat. This structure is suitable for a structure in which the vertical hole of the injection molded part is a blind hole. When the mold is demolded, the cold air from the second air hole blows toward and cools the plastic part. After demolding, the cold air from the second air hole blows toward and cools the bottom pull-out rod.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: the lower mold base includes a mold frame, a positioning plate, an adapter plate and a bottom plate which are distributed in sequence from top to bottom, the lower mold core is fixedly connected to the mold frame, the positioning plate is provided with a third countersunk hole, the bottom pull-out rod is clamped between the adapter plate and the positioning plate through the third countersunk hole, and the bottom pull-out rod sequentially passes through the positioning plate and the mold frame and extends into the lower mold core, the adapter plate is provided with a second air inlet channel, the bottom pull-out rod is provided with a second air hole running through itself, the solenoid valve is connected to the second air hole through the second air inlet channel, and when the mold is closed, the bottom pull-out rod abuts against the upper mold core / upper mold frame.

The guidance of the spherical surface facilitates the closing of the upper mold base and the lower mold base, thereby avoiding interference with the upper mold core / upper mold frame due to installation errors of the bottom pull-out rod.

[0016] 1. When the plastic part is cooled, shaped and demolded, the slide assembly moves the side draw rod away from the bottom draw rod through the action of the inclined ejector rod. At this time, the first air hole and the second air hole are also opened with the demolding action.
