[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0026] First, combine Figures 1 to 4 The embedding and removal tooling for a vehicle rearview mirror according to an embodiment of the utility model is described, which is used to remove and embed the rearview mirror in an injection molding cavity of a mold and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embedding and removing tooling for the automobile rearview mirror according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a tooling plate 1 and a pair of three-point fixing modules 2.

[0028] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the tooling plate 1 is connected to an external manipulator; a pair of three-point fixing modules 2 are respectively arranged at both ends of the tooling plate 1, and the three-point fixing module 2 fixes the rearview mirror 4 in the injection molding cavity; the manipulator moves, driving the tooling plate 1 and the three-point fixing module 2 to move, so as to take out and embed the rearview mirror 4. By using the three-point fixing module 2, it can be ensured that the rearview mirror 4 remains in a firmly fixed state during the embedding and taking out process, avoiding unnecessary shaking or damage during the movement process; it can provide precise positioning to ensure that the position of the rearview mirror 4 in the injection molding cavity is accurate; the tooling can be automatically taken out and embedded through the tooling as a whole, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0029] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of positioning posts 3 are provided at both ends of the tooling plate 1, and the plurality of positioning posts 3 correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes preset in the mold, thereby ensuring the precise positioning of the tooling plate 1 and the mold, stably fixing the position, reducing assembly errors, and ensuring the precise positioning and fixation of the three-point fixing module 2 and the rearview mirror 4.

[0030] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the three-point fixing module 2 includes: a plurality of connecting columns 21, a plurality of springs 22, a mounting plate 23 and a three-point fixing assembly; one end of the connecting column 21 is fixed on the tooling plate 1, and the other end is slidably connected to the mounting plate 23; a plurality of springs 22 correspond to a plurality of connecting columns 21 one by one, and the springs 22 are sleeved on the connecting columns 21, and the two ends of the springs 22 are respectively in contact with the tooling plate 1 and the mounting plate 23; the three-point fixing assembly is fixed on the mounting plate 23 and connected to the rearview mirror 4 to fix the rearview mirror 4. The setting of the mounting plate 23 allows the three-point fixing assembly to be disassembled and adjusted in position, and the springs 22 allow the three-point fixing assembly to be in soft contact with the rearview mirror 4 when connected, thereby reducing product damage.

[0031] Further, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the three-point fixing component includes: a first clamping cylinder 24, a vacuum suction cup 25 and a second clamping cylinder 26; the first clamping cylinder 24, the vacuum suction cup 25 and the second clamping cylinder 26 are fixed on the mounting plate 23; the first clamping cylinder 24 clamps and fixes the protrusion inside the rearview mirror 4, that is, the protrusion that is injection-molded at a specific position of the rearview mirror 4 for clamping and fixing; the vacuum suction cup 25 adsorbs and fixes the rearview mirror 4; the second clamping cylinder 26 abuts against the two opposite side walls of the rearview mirror 4, tensions and fixes the rearview mirror 4, and fixes it by friction. Through the synergistic effect of the clamping cylinder, the vacuum suction cup 25 and the second clamping cylinder 26, the rearview mirror 4 can be firmly fixed in three different fixing methods, and the three-point positioning ensures the balance; at the same time, the rearview mirror 4 is given a more uniform support force, and the damage and deformation caused by excessive local force on the wall surface are avoided. In this embodiment, the first clamping jaw cylinder 24, the vacuum suction cup 25 and the second clamping jaw cylinder 26 are not in the same straight line, and the force is evenly distributed, providing a larger fixing range, multi-angle support, and increased stability.

[0032] Further, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of pneumatic scissors 5 are fixed on the tooling plate 1 , and the plurality of pneumatic scissors 5 correspond to the injection plastic heads of the rearview mirror 4 one by one, and the pneumatic scissors 5 cut off the injection plastic heads.

[0033] Working principle: After the prototype of the rearview mirror 4 is injection molded in the hard plastic cavity in the mold, the mold is opened, and the manipulator drives the tooling plate 1 to move to the corresponding position, so that the positioning columns 3 on the tooling plate 1 are inserted into the positioning holes on the mold one by one; the manipulator drives the tooling plate 1 to move down, the first clamping claw cylinder 24 clamps and fixes the protrusion of the rearview mirror 4, the vacuum suction cup 25 is adsorbed and fixed, and the second clamping claw cylinder 26 opens and abuts against the side wall of the rearview mirror 4 to complete the fixation; the manipulator drives the rearview mirror 4 to move out to the shearing position, and the pneumatic scissors 5 shear the injection molding plastic head; the manipulator then drives the sheared rearview mirror 4 to move into the soft plastic cavity, and the rearview mirror 4 is embedded in the soft plastic cavity. The point fixing module 2 returns to its original state, the manipulator drives the tooling plate 1 to leave the mold, and the mold performs soft glue injection molding on the rearview mirror 4; after the soft glue injection molding is completed, the manipulator drives the three-point fixing module 2 to be taken out, so as to realize the embedding and removal process of the rearview mirror 4; since the hard glue injection molding and the soft glue injection molding are carried out at the same time, after the mold is opened, a pair of three-point fixing modules 2 respectively take out the rearview mirror 4 in the hard glue cavity and the soft glue cavity at the same time, thereby improving the production efficiency. In a pair of three-point fixing modules 2, one of the three-point fixing modules 2 takes out the rearview mirror 4 in the hard glue cavity and embeds it in the soft glue cavity, and the other three-point fixing module 2 only needs to take out the rearview mirror 4 in the soft glue cavity.

[0034] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 4The invention describes a tool for embedding and removing a rearview mirror for an automobile according to an embodiment of the utility model, which realizes three-point positioning and fixation of the rearview mirror, improves the balance when embedding and removing the rearview mirror, and improves the accuracy of the injection molding process.
