[0029] The specific operation is as follows: when the 5G communication equipment box is injection molded, the rotating screw rod 701 is driven to rotate by the micro motor 702, so that the moving seat 703 carrying the core rod 704 descends along the surface of the rotating screw rod 701, the built-in encoder of the micro motor 702 controls the rotating angle of the rotating screw rod 701, so as to accurately control the descending height of the core rod 704, and the connecting column 705 is stretched out from the bottom end of the rotating screw rod 701 when the core rod 704 descends;
[0030] Then the hexagonal nut 707 is twisted to be threadedly connected to the bottom of the core rod 704, at this time the hexagonal nut 707 cooperates with the extension sleeves 709 on the upper surface and the lower surface to completely cover the threaded groove 706;
[0031] Afterwards, the upper mold 3 is sleeved to the outer wall of the guide column 2 and slides along the surface thereof, so that the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1 are combined, and then the injection material is injected into the inner cavity after the combination by using the injection port, which is not shown in the figure, and the material fills the gap between the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1, so as to wrap the hexagonal nut 707, and after the material is cooled and formed, the box body is preliminarily formed, at this time, the solidified material wraps the hexagonal nut 707 to limit the hexagonal nut 707, and the capillary foot 708 is used to enhance the bonding degree, so that the hexagonal nut 707 cannot be moved or rotated, and the hexagonal nut 707 cooperates with the extension sleeve 709 on the upper surface and the lower surface to completely cover the thread groove 706, so as to avoid the direct contact between the material and the thread groove 706;
[0032] When the mold is demolded, the micro motor 702 is reversely rotated to make the moving seat 703 carry the core rod 704 to ascend along the surface of the rotating lead screw 701, and the rotating lead screw 701 drives the core rod 704 to rotate through the connecting column 705, and the connecting column 705 is retracted into the rotating lead screw 701 as the core rod 704 ascends, and since the hexagonal nut 707 is solidified, the thread groove 706 part at the bottom of the core rod 704 is separated from the hexagonal nut 707 by rotating, and after the core rod 704 is separated from the hexagonal nut 707, the mold is opened to separate the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1, and then the formed box body can be taken out;
[0033] Based on the above description, the hexagonal nut 707 with high precision is pre-threadedly connected to the bottom of the core rod 704, so that the material can wrap the hexagonal nut 707 when the box body is injection molded, and the hexagonal nut 707 is solidified in the specified position of the box body after the material is solidified, so that the thread hole position of the formed box body is changed from the original injection molding to the embedded nut, and the capillary foot 708 around the hexagonal nut 707 enhances the bonding degree between the hexagonal nut 707 and the material, so as to prevent the hexagonal nut 707 from loosening, so as to realize the high-precision cooperation between the thread hole and the bolt, and thus positively affect the electrical performance and mechanical stability of the equipment.
[0034] As Figures 1-7As shown, the inner wall top of the magnet cavity 5 is fixed with a nut positioning assembly 8, the nut positioning assembly 8 comprises an adsorption electromagnet 801 and a spring 802, the bottom of the adsorption electromagnet 801 is connected with the spring 802, the bottom of the spring 802 is connected with a force receiving disc 803, the bottom of the force receiving disc 803 is fixed with a lifting sleeve 804, the bottom of the lifting sleeve 804 is fixed with a positioning disc 805, the bottom surface of the positioning disc 805 is in contact with the top surface of the extension sleeve 709 on the upper surface of the hexagonal nut 707, the outer opening structure size of the positioning disc 805 is matched with the inner opening structure size of the receiving cavity 6, and the inner opening size of the positioning disc 805 and the lifting sleeve 804 is matched with the outer opening size of the core rod 704, the lifting sleeve 804 penetrates through the magnet cavity 5 and the receiving cavity 6, and the lifting sleeve 804, the force receiving disc 803 and the positioning disc 805 are elastically connected with the adsorption electromagnet 801 through the spring 802.
[0035] Specific operation is as follows, in the process of box injection molding, the embedding depth of the hexagonal nut 707 needs to be planned, so as to prevent the hexagonal nut 707 from being embedded too deep to cause the bolt to be unable to be deeply embedded in the position and difficult to complete the threaded connection, and also prevent the hexagonal nut 707 from being embedded too shallow to cause the bolt to be unable to stably install the module after being completely tightened, for this, when the hexagonal nut 707 is installed at the bottom of the core rod 704, the adsorption electromagnet 801 is kept off, at this time, the lifting sleeve 804 is lowered under the elastic action of the spring 802 until the force receiving disc 803 is limited by the magnet cavity 5, and when the hexagonal nut 707 is threaded and connected and installed at the bottom of the core rod 704, until the top surface of the extension sleeve 709 on the upper surface of the hexagonal nut 707 is in contact with the bottom surface of the positioning disc 805, at this time, the lowering height of the core rod 704 is cooperated to control so that the embedding depth of the hexagonal nut 707 reaches the preset range.
[0036] Then, before injection molding starts, the adsorption electromagnet 801 is powered on to adsorb the force receiving disc 803, at this time, the force receiving disc 803 is raised to compress the spring 802, and the lifting sleeve 804 carrying the positioning disc 805 is raised until the positioning disc 805 fits inside the receiving cavity 6, and then the injection molding operation starts, since the positioning disc 805 fits inside the receiving cavity 6, it can ensure that the side of the box is flush after molding.
[0037] Based on the above description, the hexagonal nut 707 is embedded in the process of box injection molding to improve the fitting accuracy with the bolt, and when the hexagonal nut 707 is pre-installed, the embedding depth of the hexagonal nut 707 is positioned by the positioning disc 805 to ensure that the bolt can be fitted with each embedded hexagonal nut 707 after the box is molded, avoiding the problem that the hexagonal nut 707 is embedded too shallow or too deep to cause the thread to be unable to be fitted and affect the stability of the module installation, and when injection molding, the positioning disc 805 automatically rises to shrink to ensure that the side of the box is flush after molding.
[0038] In summary, the 5G communication equipment box rapid forming die, in use, first, when the 5G communication equipment box is injection molded, the miniature motor 702 drives the rotating lead screw 701 to rotate, so that the moving seat 703 carries the core rod 704 to descend along the surface of the rotating lead screw 701, the built-in encoder of the miniature motor 702 controls the rotating angle of the rotating lead screw 701, so as to accurately control the descending height of the core rod 704, and the connecting column 705 extends from the bottom end of the rotating lead screw 701 when the core rod 704 descends;
[0039] Then, the hexagonal nut 707 is screwed to be threadedly connected to the bottom of the core rod 704, at this time, the extension sleeve 709 on the upper surface and the lower surface of the hexagonal nut 707 completely covers the thread groove 706, and when the hexagonal nut 707 is installed at the bottom of the core rod 704, the adsorption electromagnet 801 is kept off, at this time, the lifting sleeve 804 descends under the elastic action of the spring 802 until the stressed disc 803 is limited by the magnet cavity 5, and when the hexagonal nut 707 is threadedly connected and installed at the bottom of the core rod 704, until the top surface of the upper surface extension sleeve 709 of the hexagonal nut 707 contacts the bottom surface of the positioning disc 805, at this time, it indicates that the embedding depth of the hexagonal nut 707 has been positioned;
[0040] Then, before injection starts, the adsorption electromagnet 801 is powered on to adsorb the stressed disc 803, at this time, the stressed disc 803 rises so that the spring 802 is compressed, and the lifting sleeve 804 carries the positioning disc 805 to rise until the positioning disc 805 fits into the inside of the receiving cavity 6;
[0041] Then, the upper mold 3 is sleeved to the outer wall of the guide column 2 and slides downward along the surface, so that the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1 are closed, and then the injection port is used to inject the injection material into the inner cavity after being closed, the material fills in the gap between the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1, so as to wrap the hexagonal nut 707, after the material cools and forms, the solidified material wraps the hexagonal nut 707 to limit it, cooperates with the capillary foot 708 to enhance the bonding degree, so that the hexagonal nut 707 cannot move or rotate, and the extension sleeve 709 on the upper surface and the lower surface of the hexagonal nut 707 completely covers the thread groove 706 to avoid direct contact between the material and the thread groove 706;
[0042] When demolding, the miniature motor 702 reversely rotates so that the moving seat 703 carries the core rod 704 to rise along the surface of the rotating lead screw 701, at the same time, the rotating lead screw 701 drives the core rod 704 to rotate through the connecting column 705, and the connecting column 705 retracts into the rotating lead screw 701 as the core rod 704 rises, and because the hexagonal nut 707 is solidified, the thread groove 706 part at the bottom of the core rod 704 is separated from the inside of the hexagonal nut 707 by rotating, after the core rod 704 and the hexagonal nut 707 are separated, the mold is opened so that the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1 are separated, and then the formed box can be taken out.
