Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of molds and relates to an automatic gate cutting structure in a mold. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding is a method of producing industrial products. Products usually use rubber injection molding and plastic injection molding. Injection molding machines are the main molding equipment that use plastic molding molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics. Injection molding is achieved through injection molding machines and molds.

[0003] The injection molding machine passes thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics into the mold through the gate. When the plastic product is formed in the mold, the thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics at the gate will also solidify, and after solidification, they will be connected to the plastic product. Then the product and the gate are removed from the mold as a whole through the blanking structure. In order to obtain the plastic product, the gate needs to be cut off. The existing gate cutting method is usually done manually by operators. Manual gate cutting requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the production cost is high. Manual gate cutting is affected by the operator's proficiency and fatigue, and the production efficiency is low. In addition, manual gate cutting also has problems such as uneven cutting and even cutting plastic products by mistake, resulting in reduced product quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and proposes an in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, and solves the technical problem of how to improve the efficiency of gate cutting.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an automatic in-mold gate cutting structure, the mold has a runner, a plurality of cavities and a receiving cavity, the runner is connected to all the cavities, and is characterized in that the gate cutting structure includes a mounting plate located in the receiving cavity, a plurality of cutters fixedly connected to the mounting plate and a driver arranged outside the mold, the connection between the runner and all the cavities has a through hole, and the driver drives the mounting plate to move so that the cutter passes through the through hole or retracts into the through hole.

[0006] During processing, the molten rubber is injected into the cavity through the runner. After the molten rubber cools and solidifies, the driver works to drive the mounting plate to move so that the cutter passes through the through hole. Since the through hole is located between the connecting part of the runner and the cavity, the cutter passes through the through hole to cut off the gate, and all the gates can be cut off at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of cutting the gate. After the gate is cut off, the driver drives the mounting plate to move so that the cutter retracts into the through hole.

[0007] In the above-mentioned in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, the through hole is located between the runner and the corresponding cavity, so that the space is reasonably utilized so that the cutter can better cut off the gate.

[0008] In the above-mentioned in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, all the cavities are divided into two groups, and the two groups of cavities are symmetrically arranged at the edges of both sides of the mold. There is a distance between two adjacent cavities in the same group, and there is a part of the flow channel and a pair of through holes between two adjacent cavities in the same group. Reasonable use of space allows the product to be unloaded from both sides of the mold after the gate is cut off, making it convenient to unload the product.

[0009] In the above-mentioned in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, the flow channel is located between the two groups of cavities. Reasonable use of space allows the molten rubber to flow more evenly to each cavity, making the product cooling time as consistent as possible and improving product quality.

[0010] In the above-mentioned in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, the two ends of the mounting plate are respectively protruded outside the two ends of the mold. This structure allows the driver to be better fixedly connected to the mounting plate, so that the position of the driver can be arranged more reasonably.

[0011] In the above-mentioned in-mold automatic gate cutting structure, the mold is also provided with a guide rod, the guide rod passes through the mounting plate, and the mounting plate moves along the guide rod. The setting of the guide rod improves the moving accuracy of the mounting plate, so that the cutter can cut the gate more accurately.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the in-mold automatic gate cutting structure provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The automatic gate cutting structure installs multiple cutters on a mounting plate. By moving the mounting plate once, multiple cutters can cut the gate, thereby improving the efficiency of gate cutting.

[0014] 2. This mold arranges the positions of cavity, through hole and flow channel reasonably and makes rational use of space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
