The existing technology involves direct injection molding using a mold that matches the shape of the chip-shaped plastic part. However, the "M" feature of the mold part cannot be machined to achieve the sharp corner using wire cutting, EDM, or CNC machining centers. The mold part also has a 0.1mm rounded corner at the center of the M, which does not meet the customer's functional requirements for the plastic part.

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0035] In this invention, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment to other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.
[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for processing chip mold parts with sharp corners, comprising the following steps:
[0038] Rough machining step: Machining the first structural component and the second structural component according to the preset shape to form the first structural component preform and the second structural component preform, wherein the first structural component preform and the second structural component preform can be matched with the limiting clearance.
[0039] Finishing electrode preparation steps: Prepare the first finishing electrode and / or the second finishing electrode according to the sharp corner shape of the chip mold part;
[0040] Finishing step: Using a first finishing electrode, several first guide grooves of a certain depth are machined on the end face of the first structural component preform, penetrating the inner and outer walls of the first structural component preform, to form a first structural component with a first guide groove structure;
[0041] And / or,
[0042] A second precision machining electrode is used to machine several second guide grooves of a predetermined depth that penetrate the inner and outer walls of the second structural component preform, forming a second structural component with a second guide groove structure.
[0043] The first guide groove and the side wall of the second structural member form a first sharp-angle machining groove, and the second guide groove and the side wall of the first structural member form a second sharp-angle machining groove;
[0044] Polishing process: Remove the sparks from the first and second structural parts after finishing and polish them to obtain the final chip mold parts.
[0045] like Figures 2-11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the plastic product of the present invention is disc-shaped and is injection molded from the chip mold part. An annular groove needs to be machined on the surface of the disc. The sidewall of the groove has several first sharp angles 501 and second sharp angles 502 extending towards the center of the groove. The first sharp angles 501 and second sharp angles 502 are arranged alternately, forming an M-shaped structure for the entire groove. The first sharp angle 501 is machined by a first sharp angle processing groove (formed by the outer sidewall of the first guide groove 104 and the second structural member 2), and the second sharp angle 502 is machined by a second sharp angle processing groove (formed by the inner sidewall of the second guide groove 204 and the first structural member 1). The first sharp angle 501 includes a first longitudinal plane 5012 disposed at the top and second sharp angles 502 respectively disposed on both sides of the first longitudinal plane 5012. The longitudinal plane 5011, the first longitudinal plane 5012 and the second longitudinal plane 5011 form a certain angle on the projection of the plastic part body. In this example, the angle can be a right angle, an acute angle or an obtuse angle, so that the plastic part of the present invention meets the requirement of no rounded corners at the sharp corners. In this example, the depth of the second longitudinal plane 5011 on both sides of the first longitudinal plane 5012 is 0.61mm, and the width of the first longitudinal plane 5012 is 0.1mm. The depth of the present invention can also be set to other values as needed, all of which can meet the requirement of no rounded corners at the sharp corners. Since the sharp corners of the plastic part of the present invention are very small, the processing difficulty is very high. Through the mold parts of the present invention, this technical obstacle can be overcome, and the injection molded plastic part meets the product characteristics and functional requirements, meets the precision required by customers, and can also enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
[0046] like Figures 2-9As shown, in the rough machining step, the mating end faces 101 and 201 of the first structural component 1 and the second structural component 2 are both circular, and the first structural component 1 can be sleeved on the outside of the second structural component 2.
[0047] In this example, the second structural component 2 is first machined using CNC machining center and lathe. Figure 3 The shape; the first structural component 1 is machined into the shape using CNC machining centers and lathes. Figure 2 The shape of the mating end faces 101 and 201 is such that the sharp corners to be processed are flat.
[0048] The first structural component 1 includes a first base 102 and a machined body disposed on the first base 102. The base 102 is provided with a first limiting plane 103. The second structural component 2 includes a second base 202 and a machined body disposed on the second base 202. The second base 202 is provided with a second limiting plane 203. The first limiting plane 103 and the second limiting plane 203 are fitted together. The Z-axis assembly position of the first structural component 1 and the second structural component 2 is achieved by the cooperation of the first base 102 and the second base 202. The cooperation of the first limiting plane 103 and the second limiting plane 203 prevents relative twisting and misalignment between the two, thereby making the position controllable after assembly. Of course, the first structural component and the second structural component of the present invention can also adopt other limiting methods, such as buckles, bosses and grooves, etc. for limiting.
[0049] Before the finishing step, a finishing electrode needs to be prepared. In this example, the first finishing electrode 3 includes a circular body 301. The inner surface of the circular body 301 is provided with several first cutting blade units 302. The cross-section of each first cutting blade unit 302 is an isosceles triangle matching the shape of the first guide groove, and its height differs from the thickness of the sidewall of the first structural component by more than 0.2 mm. The cutting edge of each first cutting blade unit 302 is positioned towards the center of the circular body 301. In this example, when setting the first finishing electrode 3, its overall inner diameter is 0.2 mm smaller than the inner hole of the first structural component 1, thus allowing the machining of a sharp corner with a width of 0.1 mm. If the width of the sharp corner changes, the relationship between the inner diameter of the first finishing electrode 3 and the inner hole of the first structural component 1 is adjusted as needed.
[0050] The inner wall 304 of the annular body 301 is also provided with a first boss 303. The first end face 305 of the first boss 303 cooperates with the upper end face of the first structural member 1 to limit the processing depth of the first fine electrode 3, that is, the depth of the first guide groove 104.
[0051] Similarly, in this example, the end face of the second structural member 2 is annular with a hollow portion. The second finishing electrode 4 includes a disc-shaped body 401 that can be clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the second structural member 2, and a plurality of second cutting blade units 402 disposed on the outer wall 404 of the disc-shaped body 401. The cross-section of the second cutting blade unit 402 is an isosceles triangle matching the shape of the second guide groove 204, and the height differs from the thickness of the side wall of the second structural member by more than 0.2 mm. The cutting edge of the second cutting blade unit 402 is oriented towards the center of the annular body. In this example, a second boss 403 is also provided on the outer wall 404. The second end face 405 of the second boss 403 mates with the upper end face of the second structural member 2 to limit the processing depth of the second finishing electrode 4, which is the depth of the second guide groove 204.
[0052] After the design is completed, the first precision electrode 3 and the second precision electrode 4 are then processed by CNC machining center and wire cutting process.
[0053] In the finishing step, the first structural component 1 is machined using an EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) machine in conjunction with the first finishing electrode 3, and the second structural component 2 is machined using an EDM machine in conjunction with the second finishing electrode 4. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the final machined part has the following shape. Figure 8 As shown, the final part is prepared by the die-cutting personnel, who eliminate the sparks from the finishing process.
[0054] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the chip mold part processed by the present invention includes a first structural component 1 and a second structural component 2, which are fitted together with a clearance. The clearance between the first structural component 1 and the second structural component 2 is less than 0.01 mm, preferably with an accuracy of about 0.005 mm, to avoid slippage. Since the sidewalls of the two components are relatively thin, the clearance fit facilitates disassembly and maintenance, thereby reducing production costs.
[0055] The first guide groove 104 is evenly distributed on the end face of the first structural member 1, and the second guide groove 204 is evenly distributed on the end face of the second structural member 2. The first guide groove 104 and the second guide groove 204 are staggered. The converging tip of the first guide groove 104 corresponds to the middle of the second protrusion sidewall between two adjacent second guide grooves 204, and the converging tip of the second guide groove 204 corresponds to the middle of the first protrusion sidewall between two adjacent first guide grooves. Figure 9 The C region is the structure used to process the two adjacent central apex angles of the "M" feature.
[0056] Of course, as another embodiment of the present invention, this example can only provide the first guide groove 104 to cooperate with the outer side wall of the second structural member to process a single-sided sharp corner. This example can also only provide the second guide groove 204 to cooperate with the inner side wall of the first structural member to process a single-sided sharp corner. The position and cooperation relationship of the first guide groove 104 and the second guide groove 204 can also be set according to actual needs.
[0057] Compared with existing technologies, this invention improves the design method, enabling the injection molding of sharp corners that meet the requirements when processing delicate parts or even tiny parts at the millimeter level. This not only meets functional requirements but also greatly reduces production costs and improves processing efficiency.
[0058] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the specific scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
