Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an injection mold, and more particularly to an injection mold for an automotive handle switch face cover. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of technology and the improvement of living standards, automobiles have entered the lives of ordinary people. As a switch for switching the working states of an automobile such as forward, reverse, or parking, the handle switch plays an important role and is also a component that is touched by the driver more frequently. Therefore, the operating feel and touch of the handle switch are particularly important for car buyers. The handle switch includes a face cover and a bottom cover that are separately arranged. After being injection molded by an injection mold respectively and then assembled. In the production process of traditional injection molds, after the product is formed, due to the undercut of the product, after directly opening the mold, the ejector pin and the lifter are used to eject the product. Then, there is not enough space at the lifter position in the traditional injection mold, resulting in the lifter not reaching the position, the produced face cover being relatively rough, the product quality not being guaranteed, and the product being prone to shaking during the ejection process, affecting the stability, often requiring rework, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Objective of the present invention: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an injection mold for an automotive handle switch face cover, with good product effect and high quality after molding, and the product has a stable and fast structure during ejection.

[0004] Technical solution of the present invention: An injection mold for an automotive handle switch face cover, comprising an upper panel, a front template, a rear template, a support plate, mold feet and a lower panel. A glue injection port is provided on the upper panel. The front template is located below the upper panel, and a front mold core is provided in the front template. A front injection area is provided on the front mold core. The lower panel is connected to the support plate through the mold feet. The support plate is connected to the rear template. A rear mold core is provided in the rear template. A rear injection area is provided on the rear mold core. When the front mold core and the rear mold core are closed, the front injection area and the rear injection area form an injection cavity. A ejection mechanism is provided between the lower panel and the support plate. A glue injection runner communicating with the glue injection port is provided in the front template. A main runner and sub-runners located at both ends of the main runner are provided in the injection cavity. The main runner communicates with the glue injection runner. Product forming areas are provided on both sides of the sub-runners in the injection cavity. The two sub-runners communicate with the corresponding product forming areas respectively. Two front mold core pulling mechanisms are provided on the front template. The two front mold core pulling mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the front mold core. Each of the two front mold core pulling mechanisms includes a fixed seat fixedly connected to the upper panel, a core pulling block fixedly connected to the front template and a core pulling rod. A sliding block is provided on the fixed seat. An inclined first chute and a second chute are provided on the core pulling block. The first chute and the second chute are respectively located inside and outside the core pulling block. One end of the core pulling rod is arranged in the first chute, and the other end extends into the product forming area. A first positioning convex block is provided at the end of the core pulling rod extending into the product forming area. The sliding block is slidably arranged in the second chute. Two relatively arranged retracting blocks and a driving block for driving the two retracting blocks to slide are provided at the position of the product forming area in the rear mold core. The driving block is fixedly connected to the rear mold core. The bottoms of the two retracting blocks are in contact with the driving block. A guiding shaft is fixedly provided on the support plate. The two retracting blocks are located on both sides of the guiding shaft and are in guiding sliding fit with the guiding shaft. Second positioning convex blocks are provided on the opposite sides of the two retracting blocks. A through groove for the second positioning convex block to extend outside the rear mold core is provided on the rear mold core.

[0005] With the above technical solution, the plastic melt enters from the injection gate and then flows into the product forming cavity through the main runner. Then, the plastic melt is sprayed into the product forming areas on both sides through the sub-runners for product forming, thus improving the working efficiency. At the same time, when the product is formed, when the mold is opened, the core pulling block of the front mold core pulling mechanism slides relative to the fixed seat. Due to the inclined second chute, the two core pulling blocks can move away from each other, and the first positioning convex block disengages from the product forming area and the product. The ejector rod of the external injection molding machine pushes the ejector mechanism upward, first pushing the rear mold to move, driving the two retracting blocks to move upward and move towards each other to disengage from the product. The ejector mechanism continues to move upward to eject the product, thus solving the problem in the prior art that during the product dropping process, the product shakes greatly, resulting in poor stability, so there are often rework phenomena, thus unable to meet the continuous production of automotive parts and resulting in reduced working efficiency. Therefore, it has the characteristics of high working efficiency and good stability.

[0006] Further setting of the present invention: The ejection mechanism includes a lower ejector plate, an upper ejector plate and a plurality of ejector pins. The ejector pins include vertical ejector pins and inclined ejector pins. The lower end of the vertical ejector pin is fixedly connected to the upper ejector plate. The upper end of the vertical ejector pin passes through the driving block and extends into the product molding cavity, and is in contact with the inner top wall of the product. The inclined ejector pin is located on one side of the vertical ejector pin. The lower end of the inclined ejector pin is fixedly connected to the lower ejector plate through a connecting block, and the upper end extends into the product molding area and is in contact with the inner top wall of the product.

[0007] With the above further setting, the product is ejected from multiple angles by multiple ejector pins, which is faster. The upper end of the inclined ejector pin is integrally formed with an ejection block, which has a large contact area with the product, and the structure is more stable and efficient during ejection. A retraction rod is provided on the lower panel, and this retraction rod can quickly reset the lower ejector plate and the upper ejector plate, facilitating the closing of the front mold and the rear mold and the re-molding of the product. Therefore, the working efficiency is improved.

[0008] Another further setting of the present invention: It further includes a first latch mechanism. The first latch mechanism includes a reset rod, a slider, two pressure bars and a guide block. The lower end of the reset rod is fixed on the upper ejector plate, and the upper end of the reset rod extends on the rear template. There is a convex platform on the inner side wall of the reset rod. The two pressure bars are located on both sides of the slider and are in contact with the slider. The pressure bars are fixed on the rear template. The guide block is fixedly arranged on the support plate. There is an inclined first guide chute on the guide block. A first guide convex block is correspondingly provided on the slider. The first guide slider slides in the first guide chute and, when sliding to the top of the first guide chute, the slider disengages from the convex platform and the rear template stops sliding.

[0009] With the above another further setting, when the ejection mechanism moves upward, it drives the reset rod to slide. The convex platform on the reset rod drives the slider to slide in the first guide chute. Since the first guide chute is inclined, when the slider slides upward and is located at the top of the first guide chute, the slider separates from the convex platform, and the movement of the rear mold stops. The ejection plate continues to move upward to drive the reset rod and the ejector pins upward to eject the molded product in the product molding area. When the rear mold moves, it will drive the retraction block to move, realizing unlocking and separating from the product, reducing the vibration and offset generated by the high pressure or high-speed operation during the injection molding process of the mold, enhancing the stability and service life of the mold, ensuring product consistency, ensuring the accurate position of the mold, and being able to ensure the consistency of the products in size and shape for each injection molding.

[0010] Another even further setting of the present invention: There are inclined second guide convex blocks on both sides of the guide shaft, and correspondingly inclined second guide chutes are provided on the retraction blocks to drive the two retraction blocks to move towards each other when sliding upward and move away from each other when sliding downward.

[0011] Further setting: On the opposite sides of the two retracting blocks, there are also extension blocks provided. The second positioning convex block is integrally arranged on the extension block. The extension block is located in the through groove, and there are several grooves on the extension block on one side of the second positioning convex block.

[0012] With the above further setting, when the rear mold moves upward, it drives the two retracting blocks to move towards each other and separate from the product, facilitating the subsequent ejection of the product.

[0013] A further setting of the present invention: It further includes a second latch mechanism. The second latch mechanism includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a positioning member, and a positioning shaft. The first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the upper panel, and the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rear template. An outer cover is fixedly arranged on the front template. The positioning shaft and the positioning member are located inside the outer cover, and there is an arc-shaped groove on the positioning member. The end of the positioning shaft is located in the arc-shaped groove. There is a space on the outer cover for the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to slide. The positioning member is located on one side of the connecting rod. There is a pressing block on the lower end of the first connecting rod close to one side of the positioning member. There is a first inclined surface on the pressing block. There is a hook portion on the upper end of the second connecting rod. There is a relief groove on the positioning member. There is a second inclined surface on the relief groove. When the first connecting rod slides upward, the first inclined surface contacts the second inclined surface and can drive the positioning member to rotate around the positioning shaft. When closing the mold, the hook portion hooks on the positioning member. There is a return spring on the positioning shaft for resetting the positioning member.

[0014] With the above further setting, when opening the mold, during the process of the upper panel moving upward and driving the first connecting rod to move upward, the first inclined surface on the lower end of the first connecting rod contacts the second inclined surface of the positioning member. When the first connecting rod continues to move, it can drive the positioning member to rotate around the positioning shaft, vacating space for the second connecting rod to slide. The setting of the latch makes the position accurate when the mold opens and closes, and when closing the mold for injection molding, it can close tightly, preventing the mold from separating under the injection pressure, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the injection molded product. The outer cover hides the latch mechanism, making it more beautiful. Two second latch mechanisms are provided, respectively located on both sides of the mold, and the structure is more stable when opening and closing the mold.

[0015] A further setting of the present invention: An inclined guide post is fixedly arranged on the lower panel. The inclined guide post is located on one side of the inclined ejector pin. There is a sliding block on the inclined ejector pin. The sliding block slides on the inclined guide post. There is an inclined third guiding chute on the connecting block. The sliding block slides in the third guiding chute.

[0016] With the above further setting, the inclined guide post plays an auxiliary and guiding role, reducing the force on the inclined ejector pin, making its structure firm and having a long service life. The slider synchronously slides with the inclined ejector pin and slides along the inclined guide post, being more stable.

[0017] A further improvement of the present invention: The two runner channels are arranged in a horn shape. Concave cavities are provided on the rear mold core corresponding to the positions of the two runner channels. Two fixing blocks are arranged in the concave cavities. Accommodating grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the two fixing blocks. The runner channels are located in the accommodating grooves. Through holes for the ends of the runner channels to extend out are provided on the fixing blocks corresponding to the product forming area.

[0018] With the above further improvement, the stability is good, enabling the plastic melt to be accurately injected, and the formed product is more beautiful.

[0019] A further improvement of the present invention: It further includes a first circulating water path and a second circulating water path. The first circulating water path is arranged in the front mold core. The first circulating water path includes a first water inlet pipe, a first water outlet pipe, and a first water flow path. The first water flow path includes two parallel first upper flow paths, a first lower flow path, and a connecting flow path connecting the first upper flow path and the first lower flow path. The connecting flow path is arranged vertically. The first lower flow path is located outside the product forming area. One ends of the two first upper flow paths are connected to the connecting flow path, and the other ends are connected to the first water inlet pipe or the first water outlet pipe. The ends of the first water inlet pipe and the first water outlet pipe are exposed outside the front template. The second circulating water path is arranged in the rear mold core. The second circulating water path includes a second water inlet pipe, a second water outlet pipe, and a second water flow path. The second water flow path is arranged in a "U" shape and is connected to the second water inlet pipe and the second water outlet pipe at both ends respectively. The ends of the second water inlet pipe and the second water outlet pipe are exposed outside the rear template.

[0020] With the above further improvement, through the setting of water circulation, the surface heat of the product can be effectively reduced, enabling the product to be quickly cooled and formed, preventing overheating inside, resulting in slow production of finished products, greatly accelerating the production speed of finished products, improving work efficiency, and the first lower flow path and the second water flow path are located on the outer periphery of the product forming area, further improving the cooling effect. The first water flow path is arranged in two layers, extending the path of the water flow channel without affecting the operation of the front mold core pulling mechanism and other structures. The overall structure layout is reasonable.

[0021] A further improvement of the present invention: Skid plates are fixedly arranged on both sides of the sliding block. Fourth guiding chutes are arranged on both sides of the third guiding chute on the connecting block. The skid plates slide in the fourth guiding chutes. The fourth guiding chutes are arranged obliquely. A connecting clamping groove and a connecting clamping block located in the connecting clamping groove are arranged on the sliding block. The lower end of the inclined ejector pin is inserted into the connecting clamping groove, and a transverse groove is opened corresponding to the position of the connecting clamping block. The connecting clamping block is clamped in the transverse groove.

[0022] With the above further settings, the inclination direction of the fourth guide groove is the same as that of the third guide groove, both inclining from the inner side to the outer side and from top to bottom. During the upward movement of the ejector plate, the sliding plate slides in the fourth guide chute, driving the two angled ejector pins to move upward and towards each other, ejecting the product from the rear mold core. The structure between the angled ejector pins and the slider is easy to install and does not affect the stability between the two at the same time. Brief Description of the Drawings
