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 frequently touched by the driver. 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, they are 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, and the produced face cover is relatively rough, and the product quality cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, during the demolding process, it is easy to shake, affecting the stability, and often requires rework, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The object 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 structure of the product is stable and fast during demolding.
[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 supporting 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 supporting plate through the mold feet. The supporting 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 supporting 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 respectively communicate with the corresponding product forming areas. 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 oppositely arranged retracting blocks and a driving block for driving the two retracting blocks to slide are provided in the rear mold core at the position of the product forming area. 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 supporting plate. The two retracting blocks are located on both sides of the guiding shaft and are in guiding sliding cooperation 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, and then the plastic melt is ejected to the product forming areas on both sides through the sub-runners for product forming, thereby improving work efficiency. At the same time, when the product is formed, when the mold is opened, the core pulling block 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 pushes the rear mold to move, drives the two retracting blocks to move upward and move toward each other to disengage from the product, and the ejector mechanism continues to move upward to eject the product, thus solving the problem in the prior art that during the product falling-off 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 leading to a reduction in work efficiency. Therefore, it has the characteristics of high work 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 forming 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 forming 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 integrally forms 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 - forming of the product. Therefore, the working efficiency is improved.
[0008] Another further setting of the present invention: It further includes a first locking mechanism. The first locking mechanism includes a reset rod, a slider, two pressure bars and a guiding 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. A boss is provided 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 guiding block is fixedly arranged on the supporting plate. An inclined first guiding chute is provided on the guiding block. A first guiding convex block is correspondingly provided on the slider. The first guiding slider slides in the first guiding chute and, when sliding to the top of the first guiding chute, the slider disengages from the boss 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 boss on the reset rod drives the slider to slide in the first guiding chute. Because the first guiding chute is inclined, when the slider slides upward and is located at the top of the first guiding chute, the slider separates from the boss, 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 formed product in the product forming 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: Inclined second guiding convex blocks are provided on both sides of the guiding shaft, and correspondingly inclined second guiding 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. The second positioning convex block is integrally provided 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] The 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 provided on the front template. The positioning shaft and the positioning member are located inside the outer cover. There is an arc-shaped groove on the positioning member, and 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 near 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 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 be tightly closed, 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] The further setting of the present invention: An inclined guide post is fixedly provided 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 sliding block slides synchronously 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 precise injection of the plastic melt, 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 first upper flow paths arranged in parallel, 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 work of the front mold core pulling mechanism and other structures, and 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 grooves are arranged on both sides of the third guiding groove on the connecting block. The skid plates slide in the fourth guiding grooves. The fourth guiding grooves are inclined. A connecting card slot and a connecting block located in the connecting card slot are arranged on the sliding block. The lower end of the inclined ejector pin is inserted into the connecting card slot, and a horizontal slot is opened corresponding to the position of the connecting block. The connecting block is clamped in the horizontal slot.
[0022] With the above further settings, the inclination direction of the fourth guiding groove is the same as that of the third guiding groove, both inclined 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 guiding chute, driving the two inclined ejector pins to move upward and towards each other, ejecting the product from the rear mold core. The structure between the inclined ejector pins and the slider is convenient to install and does not affect the stability between the two at the same time. Description of the Drawings

Mold guide posts are provided at the four corners of the rear template 3, and the rear template 3 is connected to the front template 2 through the mold guide posts. The support plate 4 is also connected to the rear mold core 31 through the mold guide posts; a glue injection port 11 is provided on the upper panel 1. The front template 2 is located below the upper panel 1, and a front mold core 21 is provided inside the front template 2. A front injection area 211 is provided on the front mold core 21. The lower panel 6 is connected to the support plate 4 through the mold feet 5. The support plate 4 is connected to the rear template 3. A rear mold core 31 is provided inside the rear template 3. A rear injection area 311 is provided on the rear mold core 31. When the front mold core 21 and the rear mold core 31 are closed, the front injection area 211 and the rear injection area 311 form an injection cavity. An ejection mechanism 7 is provided between the lower panel 6 and the support plate 4. A glue injection runner communicated with the glue injection port 11 is provided inside the front template 2. A main runner 23 and two sub-runners 24 located at both ends of the main runner 23 are provided inside the injection cavity. The main runner 23 is communicated with the glue injection runner. Product forming areas are provided on both sides of the sub-runners 24 inside the injection cavity. The two sub-runners 24 are respectively communicated with the corresponding product forming areas. Two front mold core pulling mechanisms 25 are provided on the front template 2. The two front mold core pulling mechanisms 25 are respectively located on both sides of the front mold core 21. Each of the two front mold core pulling mechanisms 25 includes a fixed seat 251 fixedly connected to the upper panel 1, a core pulling block 252 fixedly connected to the front template 2, and a core pulling rod 253. A sliding block 2511 is provided on the fixed seat 251. An inclined first chute 2521 and a second chute 2522 are provided on the core pulling block 252. The first chute 2521 and the second chute 2522 are respectively located inside and outside the core pulling block 252. One end of the core pulling rod 253 is arranged in the first chute 2521, and the other end extends into the product forming area. A first positioning convex block 2531 is provided at the end of the core pulling rod 253 extending into the product forming area. The sliding block 2511 is slidably arranged in the second chute 2522. Two relatively arranged retracting blocks 32 and a driving block 33 for driving the two retracting blocks 32 to slide are provided at the position of the product forming area inside the rear mold core 31. The driving block 33 is fixedly connected to the rear mold core 31. The bottoms of the two retracting blocks 32 are in contact with the driving block 33. A guiding shaft 41 is fixedly provided on the support plate 4. The two retracting blocks 32 are located on both sides of the guiding shaft 41 and are in guiding sliding fit with the guiding shaft 41. A second positioning convex block 321 is provided on the opposite sides of the two retracting blocks 32. A through groove 34 for the second positioning convex block 321 to extend outside the rear mold core 31 is provided on the rear mold core 31. The plastic melt enters from the injection port, then the main runner 23 flows into the product forming cavity, and then the plastic melt is ejected to the product forming areas on both sides through the sub-runners 24 for product forming, thereby improving work efficiency. At the same time, when the product is formed, when the front mold core pulling mechanism 25 opens the mold, the core pulling block 252 slides relative to the fixed seat 251. Due to the inclined second chute 2522, the two core pulling blocks 252 can move away from each other.The first positioning bump 2531 disengages from the product forming area and the product. The ejector rod of the external injection molding machine pushes the ejector pin 73 mechanism upward, first pushing the rear mold to move, driving the two retraction blocks 32 to move upward and move towards each other, disengaging from the product. The ejector pin 73 mechanism continues to move upward to eject the product, thus solving the problem in the prior art that during the product shedding 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 leading to a reduction in work efficiency. Therefore, it has the characteristics of high work efficiency and good stability.
[0049] The ejection mechanism 7 includes a lower ejector plate 71, an upper ejector plate 72 and a plurality of ejector pins 73. The ejector pins 73 include a vertical ejector pin 731 and an inclined ejector pin 732. The lower end of the vertical ejector pin 731 is fixedly connected to the upper ejector plate 72. The upper end of the vertical ejector pin 731 passes through the driving block 33 and extends into the product molding cavity, and is set in contact with the inner top wall of the product. The driving block 33 slides outside the vertical ejector pin 731, which can make the driving block 33 slide. The structure is stable and has a guiding effect, and it can also save space and have a standardized layout. The inclined ejector pin 732 is located on the vertical ejector pin 731. The lower end of the inclined ejector pin 732 is fixedly connected to the lower ejector plate 71 through a connecting block 74, and the upper end extends into the product molding area and is arranged to abut against the inner top wall of the product. The product is ejected from multiple angles through a variety of ejectors 73, which is faster. The upper end of the inclined ejector pin 732 is integrally formed with an ejection block, which has a large contact area with the product. The structure is more stable and efficient during ejection. A return rod is provided on the lower panel 6, which can quickly reset the lower ejector plate 71 and the upper ejector plate 72, facilitate the closing of the front mold and the rear mold, and the product is molded again, thereby improving work efficiency. The lower panel 6 is fixedly provided with an inclined guide column 61, and the inclined guide column 61 is located on one side of the inclined ejector pin 732. The inclined ejector pin 732 is provided with a sliding block 7321, and the sliding block 7321 is slidably arranged on the inclined guide column 61. The connecting block 74 is provided with an inclined third guide slot 741, and the sliding block 7321 slides in the third guide slot 741. The inclined guide column 61 plays an auxiliary and guiding role, reducing the force on the inclined ejector pin 732, making its structure firm and having a long service life. The slider 82 slides synchronously with the inclined ejector pin 732 and slides along the inclined guide column 61, which is more stable; slide plates 7322 are fixedly provided on both sides of the sliding block 7321, and fourth guide slots 742 are provided on both sides of the third guide slot 741 on the connecting block 74. The slide plate 7322 slides in the fourth guide slot 742, and the fourth guide slot 742 is tilted. The sliding block 7321 is provided with a connecting slot and a connecting block located in the connecting slot. The lower end of the inclined ejector pin 732 is inserted in the connecting slot, and a transverse slot is provided at the corresponding connecting block position. The connecting block is clamped in the transverse slot. The inclination direction of the fourth guide slot is consistent with the third guide slot, and both are inclined from the inside to the outside, and from top to bottom. In the process of the ejector pin 73 plate moving upward, the slide plate 7322 slides in the fourth guide slot 742, driving the two inclined ejector pins 732 to move upward and toward each other, ejecting the product from the rear mold core 31. The structure between the inclined ejector pin 732 and the slide block 82 is easy to install without affecting the stability between the two.
[0050] It further includes a first latch mechanism 8, and the first latch mechanism 8 includes a reset rod 81, a slider 82, two pressing strips 83 and a guide block 84. The lower end of the reset rod 81 is fixed on the upper ejector plate 72, and the upper end of the reset rod 81 extends on the rear template 3. A boss 811 is provided on the inner side wall of the reset rod 81. The two pressing strips 83 are located on both sides of the slider 82 and are in contact with the slider 82. The pressing strips 83 are fixed on the rear template 3. The guide block 84 is fixedly arranged on the supporting plate 4. An inclined first guiding chute 841 is provided on the guide block 84. A first guiding convex block 821 is correspondingly provided on the slider 82. The first guiding slider 82 slides in the first guiding chute 841. When it slides to the top of the first chute 2521, the slider 82 disengages from the boss 811 and the rear template 3 stops sliding. When the ejecting mechanism 7 moves upward, it drives the reset rod 81 to slide. The boss 811 on the reset rod 81 drives the first guiding convex block 821 to slide in the first guiding chute 841. Since the first guiding chute 841 is inclined, the slider 82 slides upward and when the first guiding convex block 821 is at the top of the first guiding chute 841, the slider 82 separates from the boss 811 and the rear mold stops sliding. The ejector plate continues to move upward to drive the reset rod 81 and the ejector pin 73 upward to eject the molded product in the product forming area.
