Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a texture processing device and its usage method, belonging to the field of injection mold technology. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molds are precision tools used to produce plastic products. They not only give plastic products a complete structure but also ensure high dimensional accuracy. In injection molds, the mold core, as a key component, directly determines the final product's appearance, texture, and performance through its surface quality and processing technology. To enhance the visual appeal and tactile experience of plastic parts manufactured using the mold core's cavity, texturing is typically performed within the cavity.

[0003] Traditionally, this type of texturing is achieved using electrical discharge machining (EDM). However, the texture depth created by EDM is often uniform, which, while meeting basic functional requirements, can easily lead to scratches at the edges of plastic parts during subsequent injection molding, thus affecting product quality. To address this issue, laser engraving technology has gradually become the mainstream choice in recent years. Using high-precision laser engraving equipment, a gradient texture from dark to light can be created within 1 mm of the edge of the mold core cavity. This gradient design effectively reduces stress concentration at the edges caused by material flow during injection molding, significantly reducing the risk of scratches.

[0004] However, in practice, the machining process of the mold core is not always smooth. In the initial machining stage of the mold core forming cavity, it is usually necessary to supply coolant or water to the mold core surface to control the temperature and extend tool life. However, these media inevitably leave residues on the inner wall of the forming cavity. When switching to laser machining, these residues can become obstacles: on the one hand, the attached liquid may absorb some laser energy, interfering with the beam focusing effect; on the other hand, under high temperatures, these liquids will rapidly evaporate to form water vapor, and these tiny particles and vapor clouds floating between the laser generator and the mold core will scatter or even reflect the laser light. This optical interference not only weakens the laser energy density but may also lead to problems such as reduced clarity of the engraved lines, blurred edges, and overall unstable quality.

[0005] Content of this invention

[0006] To address the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a texture processing device and a method for using it.

The piston is attached to the upper end of the desiccant pack. The inner wall of the straight cylinder is recessed outward to form a groove. A limiting member is installed on the groove, and the limiting member is located on the outside of the straw. The limiting member is attached to the upper end of the piston.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a tooling box, which is mounted on the upper end of a rectangular box and extends into the rectangular box. The upper end of the tooling box is attached to a cover plate. Two clamping plates slide symmetrically at the bottom inside the tooling box. The clamping plates are rotatably connected to a screw at the middle of their outer ends. The screw extends out of the outer side of the tooling box and is threadedly connected to the tooling box.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving component includes a telescopic device, the fixed part of which is installed on the right end of the rectangular box, the bottom of which is slidably connected to a movable block, and the movable block is located on the right side of the tooling box. The movable part of the telescopic device passes through the rectangular box and is connected to the movable block.

The multiple connecting rods all pass through the rectangular box, and the rectangular box is slidably connected to the connecting rods.

[0014] Furthermore, a rectangular block arranged horizontally is installed on the lower side of the front end of the movable block, and the rectangular block is slidably connected to the bottom of the inside of the rectangular box.

[0015] The lower end of the tooling box is hinged to a vertically arranged rectangular column via an elastic hinge.

[0017] Furthermore, multiple vertically arranged cylinders are equidistantly arranged at the lower edge of the turntable, and the cylinders are located outside the connection position between the turntable and the rotator. The lower end of the cylinder is provided with a fixed part of the second rolling member, and the movable part of the second rolling member is tactilely connected to the upper end of the fixed part of the rotator.

[0018] A method of using a texture processing device includes the following steps:

[0019] The first step is inspection, which involves checking the polishing degree, hardness, material consistency, whether welding repairs are needed, whether there is rust, scratches, or dents in the mold core.

[0020] The second step is cleaning. Use a cleaning agent to clean the mold cores that have passed the inspection.

[0021] The third step is material loading. The cleaned mold core is placed into the tooling box and positioned between two clamping plates. Then, two screws are used to move the two clamping plates inward to clamp the mold core. After calibration, the finished overall model and pattern parameters are imported into the controller.

[0022] Step 4: Pre-treatment. Using the telescopic device, the moving block, connecting rod, movable block, L-shaped frame, and cover plate are moved to the right, thereby sealing the opening of the tooling box with the cover plate. At this time, the outlet of the suction tube and the outlet of the blow tube are located directly above the forming cavity of the mold core. Then, the fan, heater, and blow tube are used to blow hot air into the forming cavity of the mold core, thereby heating the moisture in the forming cavity of the mold core and forming water vapor. At the same time, the water vapor will enter the straight cylinder with the suction tube. At this time, the desiccant pack will absorb the water vapor, thereby cleaning the forming cavity of the mold core. After completion, the cover plate is returned to its original position.

[0023] Step 5: Engraving. According to the parameters, the mold core is engraved with patterns inside the forming cavity using a laser head. Gradient patterns from dark to light are engraved at the edge of the forming cavity near the mold core.

[0024] Step 6: Inspection. A comprehensive inspection is conducted on the processed mold cores. Once they pass the inspection, they are put into storage.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0026] 1. The opening of the tooling box is sealed with a cover plate. Hot air is blown into the molding cavity of the mold core through a fan, heater, and blowpipe, thereby heating the moisture on the surface of the molding cavity and turning it into water vapor. The generated water vapor is then collected through a suction pipe and transported into a straight cylinder. The water vapor is absorbed by a desiccant pack, and the dried gas is transported to the heater through an air pipe, allowing the residual hot air to return to the heater. This achieves full and timely recovery of water vapor generated in the molding cavity of the mold core during cleaning, effectively ensuring the quality of pattern engraving, and reusing the heat generated by the heater to improve energy utilization.

[0027] 2. The electric push rod moves the rectangular block, moving block, connecting rod, movable block, L-shaped frame, and cover plate to the left, thereby separating the cover plate from the tooling box and causing relative movement between the second bullseye and the rectangular block. When the second bullseye moves into the trapezoidal groove, the rear of the mold core will lift up. When the second bullseye moves to the top of the trapezoidal block, the front of the mold core will lift up. When the second magnetic plate moves directly below the first magnetic plate, the left side of the mold core will lift up. This allows for angle adjustment of the clamped mold core, effectively creating a processing angle between the laser head and the vertical wall of the mold core's forming cavity, improving the engraving effect, ensuring the quality of the engraved pattern, and achieving linkage between the movement of the movable block and the angle change of the mold core, effectively reducing equipment costs.

[0028] 3. The rectangular box and the turntable are positioned by means of positioning grooves, and the rectangular box and the turntable are fastened by studs, pressure plates, grooves and nuts, so as to realize convenient disassembly and assembly of rectangular box and turntable, and to ensure the positioning of rectangular box and turntable, effectively reducing the probability of rectangular box displacement and ensuring the quality of pattern engraving.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0042] Example 1: As Figures 1-10 As shown, a texture processing device is provided, including a base 1, a housing 2 installed on the upper end of the base 1, the housing 2 provides installation space for components such as a two-axis mover 7, and the fixed part of the two-axis mover 7 located inside the housing 2 is installed on the upper end of the base 1. The two-axis mover 7 is used to make the rotator 8 move back and forth and left and right. The fixed part of the rotator 8 is set on the upper end of the movable part of the two-axis mover 7. The rotator 8 drives the turntable 6 to rotate, and the turntable 6 is installed on the upper end of the movable part of the rotator 8. The turntable 6 provides an installation carrier for components such as a rectangular box 5.

[0043] The rectangular box 5 is detachably connected to the upper end of the turntable 6. The rectangular box 5 provides an installation carrier for components such as the tooling box 43. The tooling box 43, which extends into the rectangular box 5, is installed on the upper end of the rectangular box 5. The tooling box 43 provides an installation carrier for components such as the clamping plate 44. The two clamping plates 44 are symmetrically slid on the bottom end inside the tooling box 43. The two clamping plates 44 work together to clamp the mold core. Two screws 45, which extend out of the outside of the tooling box 43 and are threaded to the tooling box 43, are rotatably connected to the middle of the outer end of the two clamping plates 44. The screws 45 cause the clamping plates 44 to move back and forth.

[0044] A laser head 3, located directly above the cover plate 4, is installed on the top of the inner shell 2. The laser head 3 is used to engrave patterns and process gradient patterns from dark to light near the edge of the molding cavity of the mold core. Multiple cylinders 61 arranged vertically and located outside the connection position between the turntable 6 and the rotator 8 are equidistantly set on the lower edge of the turntable 6. The cylinders 61 provide a mounting carrier for the second rolling member. The fixed part of the second rolling member, which is tumbled and connected to the upper part of the fixed part of the rotator 8, is set on the lower end of the cylinders 61. The second rolling member is used to assist the rotation of the turntable 6. The second rolling member can be a first bullseye 62.

[0045] The cover plate 4 is attached to the upper end of the tooling box 43 to seal the opening of the tooling box 43. The movable block 9 located on the left side of the rectangular box 5 is attached to the upper end of the turntable 6. The movable block 9 provides an installation carrier for components such as the L-shaped frame 91. The horizontal parts of the two L-shaped frames 91, which are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the movable block 9, are symmetrically arranged on the left end of the cover plate 4. The two L-shaped frames 91 are used together to connect the cover plate 4 and the movable block 9.

[0046] A blower 94 located between two L-shaped frames 91 is installed on the upper end of the movable block 9. Airflow is generated by the blower 94. A blow pipe 42, with one end installed on the upper end of the cover plate 4 and the other end extending to the lower end of the cover plate 4, is connected to the outlet of the blower 94. The airflow generated by the blower 94 is blown into the forming cavity of the mold core clamped in the tooling box 43 through the suction pipe 41. A heater 93, located in front of the blower 94 and connected to the inlet of the blower 94, is placed on the upper end of the movable block 9. Hot air is generated by the heater 93.

[0047] The air pipe 95 is connected to the front end of the heater 93. The heater 93 is connected to the straight cylinder 92 through the air pipe 95. The straight cylinder 92, which is arranged vertically and connected to the front end of the air pipe 95 and located between the two L-shaped frames 91, is placed on the upper end of the movable block 9. The straight cylinder 92 provides installation space for components such as the desiccant pack 921. The desiccant pack 921 is then filled into the straight cylinder 92. The desiccant pack 921 is used to absorb moisture.

[0048] A piston 922, located above the position where the trachea 95 connects to the straight cylinder 92 and attached to the upper end of the desiccant pack 921, is slidably connected inside the straight cylinder 92. The piston 922 seals the opening of the straight cylinder 92, effectively preventing leakage. A suction tube 41, which extends to the lower end of the piston 922 and extends out of the upper side of the straight cylinder 92 and is installed on the upper end of the cover plate 4, and extends to the lower end of the cover plate 4, is installed on the upper end of the piston 922. The suction tube 41 delivers the recovered water vapor into the straight cylinder 92.

[0049] A groove is formed by recessing outward on the inner wall of the straight cylinder 92. The groove provides installation space for the limiting component. The limiting component, which is located outside the straw 41 and fits against the upper end of the piston 922, is assembled on the groove. The limiting component restricts the installation between the piston 922 and the straight cylinder 92 and makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the piston 922 and the straight cylinder 92, which facilitates the replacement of the desiccant pack 921. The limiting component can be a retaining spring 923.

[0050] The movable block 53 located on the right side of the tooling box 43 is slidably connected to the bottom of the rectangular box 5. The movable block 53 provides a mounting carrier for components such as the connecting rod 54. The fixed part of the telescopic device, which has its movable part passing through the rectangular box 5 and connected to the movable block 53, is installed on the right end of the rectangular box 5. The telescopic device drives the movable block 53 to move left and right. The telescopic device can be an electric push rod 56.

[0051] Multiple connecting rods 54, each with its other end connected to the right end of the movable block 9 and passing through and slidingly connected to the rectangular box 5, are equidistantly arranged on the left end of the movable block 53. The multiple connecting rods 54 work together to connect the movable block 53 with the movable block 9.

[0052] When in use, first place the mold core into the tooling box 43, and the mold core is located between the two clamping plates 44. Then rotate the two screws 45. Since the screws 45 are threadedly connected to the tooling box 43, the rotation of the screws 45 causes the screws 45 to move inward, which in turn causes the clamping plates 44 to move inward, thereby using the two clamping plates 44 to clamp the mold core, so that the forming cavity of the mold core is located directly below the laser head 3.

[0053] Then, the electric push rod 56 is activated, driving the moving block 53 to move to the right, which in turn causes multiple connecting rods 54 to move to the right, thereby causing the movable block 9 to move to the right along the turntable 6, which in turn causes the two L-shaped frames 91 to move to the right, thereby causing the cover plate 4 to move to the right, and then causing the cover plate 4 to move to the upper end of the tooling box 43, thereby using the cover plate 4 to seal the opening of the tooling box 43. At this time, the outlet of the suction tube 41 and the outlet of the blow tube 42 are located directly above the forming cavity of the mold core.

[0054] Then, the blower 94 and heater 93 are started. The heater 93 generates hot air, and the blower 94 draws the hot air and delivers it into the blow pipe 42. The hot air is then blown into the molding cavity of the mold core through the blow pipe 42, thereby heating the moisture on the surface of the molding cavity of the mold core and turning it into water vapor. At the same time, the water vapor generated in the molding cavity of the mold core is drawn into the suction pipe 41 by the blower 94, and the recovered water vapor is delivered into the straight cylinder 92 through the suction pipe 41 and comes into contact with the desiccant pack 921.

[0055] The desiccant in the desiccant pack 921 absorbs moisture, and the dried gas is then transported to the heater 93 through the air pipe 95. This allows the residual hot gas to return to the heater 93, thus enabling the full and timely recovery of moisture generated during cleaning of the molding cavity of the mold core. This effectively ensures the quality of the pattern engraving and allows the heat generated by the heater 93 to be reused, improving energy efficiency.

[0056] Then, using the electric push rod 56, the moving block 53, multiple connecting rods 54, and two L-shaped brackets 91, the cover plate 4 is returned to its original position to the right, thereby exposing the opening of the tooling box 43. Then, the laser head 3 is activated, and the laser head 3 emits a laser, which is used to engrave patterns on the surface of the mold core's forming cavity. The two-axis mover 7 is activated to drive the turntable 6 to move back and forth and left and right, thereby moving the clamped mold core back and forth and left and right. The rotator 8 is activated to drive the turntable 6 to rotate, thereby rotating the clamped mold core. Thus, the surface of the mold core's forming cavity is fully engraved with patterns using laser processing, and a gradient pattern from dark to light is processed in a local area of ​​1mm close to the edge of the mold core's forming cavity.

[0057] Example 2: The opening of the tooling box 43 is sealed by the cover plate 4, thereby cleaning the forming cavity of the mold core inside the tooling box 43 and timely and fully recovering the water vapor generated during cleaning. However, in order to ensure that the cover plate 4 can effectively seal the opening of the tooling box 43, the tooling box 43 will be in a horizontal state, causing the mold core clamped inside the tooling box 43 to be in a horizontal state. This will cause the laser head 3 to be parallel to the vertical wall of the forming cavity of the mold core, which will affect the engraving effect of the laser head 3 on the forming cavity of the mold core.

[0058] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a rectangular block 52, which is slidably connected to the bottom of the rectangular box 5 and arranged horizontally, is installed on the lower front side of the moving block 53. The rectangular block 52 provides a mounting carrier for the trapezoidal block 522. A trapezoidal groove 521, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, is formed by recessing the upper surface of the rectangular block 52 downward. The rectangular column 46 is moved down through the trapezoidal groove 521. The trapezoidal block 522, which is located on the right side of the trapezoidal groove 521 and is arranged narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, is installed on the upper end of the rectangular block 52. The rectangular column 46 is moved up through the trapezoidal block 522.

[0059] A vertically arranged rectangular column 46 is hinged to the lower end of the tooling box 43 by an elastic hinge. The rectangular column 46 supports the tooling box 43 on the one hand and provides a mounting carrier for the first rolling member on the other hand. The fixed part of the first rolling member, which is tumblingly connected to the upper end of the rectangular block 52, is installed on the lower end of the rectangular column 46. The first rolling member allows relative movement between the rectangular column 46 and the rectangular block 52. The first rolling member can be a second bullseye 461.

[0060] The function plate 47, located on the lower side of the tooling box 43 and the rear side of the moving block 53, is slidably connected to the bottom of the rectangular box 5. The function plate 47 supports the tooling box 43 on the one hand and provides an installation carrier for the second rolling component on the other. Multiple universal couplings 48 are equidistantly installed between the lower rear side of the tooling box 43 and the function plate 47. The multiple universal couplings 48 work together to make the tooling box 43 and the function plate 47 movably connected.

[0061] The first magnetic plate 49, located on the upper side of the moving block 53 and on the right side of the functional plate 47, is installed on the lower right edge of the tooling box 43. The second magnetic plate 55, located on the lower side of the first magnetic plate 49 and arranged to be attracted to the first magnetic plate 49, is installed on the upper end of the moving block 53. The first magnetic plate 49 and the second magnetic plate 55 work together to tilt the tooling box 43.

[0062] In use, the mold core is first clamped into the tooling box 43, and then the cover plate 4 is placed over the top of the tooling box 43. The mold core clamped in the tooling box 43 is then pre-processed. After pre-processing, the moving block 53, connecting rod 54, movable block 9, L-shaped frame 91 and cover plate 4 are moved to the left by the electric push rod 56, thereby separating the cover plate 4 from the tooling box 43, thus exposing the forming cavity of the mold core in the tooling box 43. Then, the laser head 3 is used to engrave patterns inside the forming cavity of the mold core.

[0063] Then, by using the electric push rod 56 to move the moving block 53 to the left, the rectangular block 52 will move to the left, thereby causing the second bullseye 461 to move relative to the rectangular block 52. When the second bullseye 461 moves into the trapezoidal groove 521, under the weight of the tooling box 43, the tooling box 43 will swing downward around the universal coupling 48, thereby causing the rear part of the mold core to lift up.

[0064] Then, the rectangular block 52 continues to move to the left, so that the second bullseye 461 moves out of the trapezoidal groove 521 and moves to the upper end of the trapezoidal block 522, thereby causing the rectangular column 46 to move upward, so that the tooling box 43 swings upward around the universal coupling 48, thereby causing the front part of the mold core to lift up.

[0065] Then, the rectangular block 52 continues to move to the left, thereby moving the second bullseye 461 and the trapezoidal block 522 to the top of the rectangular block 52, and moving the second magnetic plate 55 directly below the first magnetic plate 49. At this time, an adsorption force is generated between the first magnetic plate 49 and the second magnetic plate 55, and under the action of the adsorption force, the first magnetic plate 49 moves downward, and with the assistance of the universal coupling 48, the left side of the tooling box 43 is lifted, thereby lifting the left side of the mold core.

[0066] This allows for angle adjustment of the clamped mold core, effectively increasing the processing angle between the laser head 3 and the vertical wall of the mold core's forming cavity, improving the engraving effect, ensuring the quality of pattern engraving, and achieving linkage between the movement of the movable block 9 and the angle change movement of the mold core, thus effectively reducing equipment costs.

[0067] Example 3: Before engraving the forming cavity of the mold core, the tooling for holding the mold core is usually placed on the turntable 6, and the tooling is pressed and installed on the turntable 6 using a pressure block structure. However, during the engraving process, the turntable 6 will rotate, which will cause the tooling to shift under the centrifugal force generated by the turntable 6, which will affect the quality of the pattern engraving.

[0068] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning groove 67 is formed by recessing the upper surface of the turntable 6 downwards. The positioning groove 67 is used to position and install the box and the turntable 6. The lower end of the rectangular box 5 is extended into the positioning groove 67 and fits against the bottom of the positioning groove 67. The front and rear end faces of the rectangular box 5 are recessed inwards to form grooves 51. The grooves 51 provide installation space for the pressure plate 64.

[0069] Two vertically arranged studs 66, located on the front and rear sides of the positioning groove 67 and penetrating the through groove 65, are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the turntable 6. The studs 66 provide an installation carrier for the nut 63. Two pressure plates 64, extending inward into the groove 51, are respectively arranged on the front and rear ends of the rectangular box 5. The two pressure plates 64 and the two grooves 51 work together to secure the rectangular box 5 to the turntable 6.

[0070] A through groove 65 is formed by recessing the upper end of the pressure plate 64 downwards. The stud 66 passes through the pressure plate 64 through the through groove 65. The nut 63, which is attached to the upper end of the pressure plate 64, is threaded onto the outer end of the stud 66. The nut 63 applies a downward force to the pressure plate 64.

[0071] During assembly, the rectangular box 5 is first inserted into the positioning slot 67 to position the rectangular box 5 and the turntable 6. Then, the stud 66 passes through the through slot 65 on the pressure plate 64 and moves the pressure plate 64 inward to insert it into the groove 51. Then, the nut 63 is threaded onto the outer end of the stud 66, so that the nut 63 applies a downward force to the pressure plate 64, thereby pressing the bottom end of the groove 51 downward, thus securing the rectangular box 5 and the turntable 6 together. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the rectangular box 5 and the turntable 6, and ensures proper positioning of the rectangular box 5 and the turntable 6, effectively reducing the probability of the rectangular box 5 shifting and ensuring the quality of the engraved pattern.

[0072] A method of using a texture processing device includes the following steps:

[0073] The first step is inspection, which involves checking the polishing degree, hardness, material consistency, whether welding repairs are needed, whether there is rust, scratches, or dents in the mold core.

[0074] The second step is cleaning. Use a cleaning agent to clean the mold cores that have passed the inspection.

[0075] The third step is to load the mold core. After cleaning, the mold core is placed into the tooling box 43 and positioned between the two clamping plates 44. Then, the two clamping plates 44 are moved inward by the two screws 45 to clamp the mold core. After calibration, the finished overall model and pattern parameters are imported into the controller.

[0076] Step 4: Pre-treatment. Using the telescopic device, the moving block 53, connecting rod 54, movable block 9, L-shaped frame 91, and cover plate 4 are moved to the right, thereby sealing the opening of the tooling box 43 with cover plate 4. At this time, the outlet of suction pipe 41 and the outlet of blow pipe 42 are located directly above the forming cavity of the mold core. Then, the blower 94, heater 93, and blow pipe 42 blow hot air into the forming cavity of the mold core, thereby heating the moisture in the forming cavity of the mold core and forming water vapor. At the same time, the water vapor will enter the straight cylinder 92 with suction pipe 41. At this time, the desiccant pack 921 will absorb the water vapor, thereby cleaning the forming cavity of the mold core. After completion, the cover plate 4 is returned to its original position.

[0077] Step 5: Engraving. According to the parameters, the pattern is processed inside the forming cavity of the mold core through the laser head 3. The pattern is processed from dark to light at the edge of the forming cavity near the mold core.

[0078] Step 6: Inspection. A comprehensive inspection is conducted on the processed mold cores. Once they pass the inspection, they are put into storage.

[0079] Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
