Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of molds, and in particular relates to a horn glue feeding structure and an injection mold. Background Art

[0002] A glue injection structure with a bull horn shape is often used in the mold casting system. Compared with side injection and overlapping injection, the bull horn injection structure can be hidden in the non-appearance surface of the rear mold, so that no trace of the gate can be seen on the appearance surface after the product is assembled, and the product as a whole is more beautiful. However, in the process of the bull horn injection being ejected by the ejector, the existing structure is prone to various problems such as breakage, flipping, flying off, and abnormal ejection noise, resulting in the ejection runner being broken and remaining in the mold that is difficult to remove, affecting automated production and reducing production efficiency. The bull horn injection structure is flipped over or bounced off, causing damage to the mold, which requires mold repair and increases production costs.

[0003] Therefore, it is expected to set a stable parameter to meet the requirements of shortening the molding cycle, saving plastic materials, simple processing, and convenient robot grasping. Utility Model Content

[0006] The double-sided bull horn gate structure is relatively stable. Therefore, the present application scheme limits the height of the glue column and the width of the ejector pin and the glue column of the double-sided bull horn gate. Specifically, the radius of the glue column is increased so that the radius of the first glue column is at least 0.25 mm larger than the radius of the first ejector pin, and the width of the glue column on one side is at least 0.25 mm larger than the width of the ejector pin, and the height position of the glue column is limited, thereby improving the stability of ejection and avoiding tipping and flying.

[0007] Preferably, the distance from the inlet to the center point of the outlet of the first bull horn gate is A1, and A1 is 10-15 mm; the distance from the inlet to the center point of the outlet of the second bull horn gate is A2, which is 10-15 mm.

[0011] For the unilateral horn gate structure, due to the imbalance on both sides, it is more likely to be toppled and bounced off. Therefore, in the solution of this application, a second rubber column is introduced, and by further restricting the heights of the first rubber column and the second rubber column, the ejection stability is improved, and toppling and bouncing off are avoided.

[0012] Preferably, the distance from the inlet to the center point of the outlet of the first horn gate is A1, and A1 is 10 - 15 mm.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Bull-horn gluing is a common method of gluing in plastic injection molds. Gate ejection often causes breakage or failure to be ejected from the mold, which has always been a problem plaguing the industry. For example, patent document CN216100181U limits the distance between the first ejection runner and the second ejection runner to prevent the bull-horn runner from breaking, flipping, and bouncing, thereby avoiding mold damage and ensuring normal automated production. However, the limitation is not accurate enough. In actual applications, it is easy for the gate to directly bounce off after ejection, so it needs to be improved.

[0027] The solution of the present application optimizes the double-sided bull-horn glue injection structure and the single-sided bull-horn glue injection structure respectively, especially the single-sided bull-horn glue injection structure, which further avoids the bull-horn type runner from breaking, flipping over, and bouncing off.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] A single-sided horn glue injection structure, reference Figure 1-4, including: a glue inlet runner 1 with a U-shaped cross-section; a first horn gate 21 is provided at one end of the glue inlet runner 1 and is in communication with it; a first glue column 31 and a second glue column 32 are vertically provided at the bottom of the glue inlet runner 1 and are in communication with the glue inlet runner 1; the first glue column 31 and the second glue column 32 are arranged in parallel, and the first glue column 31 is close to the first horn gate 21. A first ejector pin 41 is provided below the first glue column 31 and is matched with it; a second ejector pin 42 is provided below the second glue column 32 and is matched with it; the first glue column 31, the second glue column 32, the first ejector pin 41, and the second ejector pin 42 are all cylindrical. The bottom of the first glue column 31 is flush with the bottom of the mold insert 8 that is matched with the horn glue inlet structure, and the radius of the first glue column 31 is 0.25 mm more than the radius of the first ejector pin; the radius of the second glue column 32 is 0.25 mm more than the radius of the second ejector pin 42; the height of the first glue column 31 is L1, the height of the second glue column is L2, and L1 < L2; and the height L2 of the second glue column and the central arc length C of the horn gate satisfy: L2 = C + 5 mm.

[0030] The distance from the inlet to the center point of the outlet of the first horn gate 21 is A1, and A1 is 10 - 15 mm. The value of A1 should be as small as possible and can be selected from 10 to 15 mm according to different products to make different specifications.

[0031] The front ends of the first ejector pin 41 and the second ejector pin 42 both have tapered heads. Two ejector pins and two tapered heads can prevent the runner from rotating after ejection.

[0032] The first horn gate 21 is also provided with an upwardly convex bending deformation groove 6 on the side close to the first glue column.

[0033] This embodiment is a single-sided horn glue inlet structure with poor stability and is more likely to be toppled and bounced off. On the basis of increasing the width of the glue column, by setting the first glue column 31 and the second glue column 32, and the first ejector pin 41 and the second ejector pin 42 that are matched with them, the ejection stability is improved. Further, by optimizing the height of the glue column and combining with the design of the tapered head, the ejection stability is improved, and toppling and bouncing off are avoided.

[0034] Figure 3 and 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a mold with this glue inlet structure, including a mold core 7. A receiving groove is provided on the mold core 7; the above-mentioned single-sided horn glue inlet structure is embedded in the receiving groove through an insert 8; 9 is a product to be injection-molded. When the product is molded, the first ejector pin 41 and the second ejector pin 42 respectively push the first glue column 31 and the second glue column 32, pull the horn out of the mold channel. After ejecting a certain distance, the glue inlet runner 1 can be grabbed by a manipulator.

[0035] The above structure is applied to actual production. After two years of operation, the injection-molded products have stable mass production and high qualification rate.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] refer to Figure 5-6 , a double-sided bull horn glue feeding structure, a glue feeding channel 1 with a U-shaped cross-section; a first bull horn gate 21 and a second bull horn gate 22 connected thereto are respectively provided at both ends of the glue feeding channel 1; a first glue column 31 vertically connected to the glue feeding channel 1 and a first ejector pin (not shown) matched thereto are provided at the bottom of the glue feeding channel 1; the first glue column 31 and the first ejector pin are cylindrical as a whole. Due to the double-sided glue feeding, the balance is relatively good, so only one glue column can be set for ejection, as long as the bottom of the first glue column 31 is flush with the bottom of the mold insert matched with the bull horn glue feeding structure; and the radius of the first glue column is at least 0.25mm larger than the radius of the first ejector pin.

[0038] The distance from the inlet to the center of the outlet of the first horn gate 21 is A1, A1 is 10-15mm; the distance from the inlet to the center of the outlet of the second horn gate 22 is A2 is 10-15mm. The distance from the inlet to the center of the outlet of the horn gate should be as small as possible, and can be selected from 10 to 15mm according to different products to produce different specifications.

[0039] The front end of the first ejector pin has a tapered head to prevent the runner from rotating after being ejected.

[0040] The first bull horn gate 21 is also provided with a bending deformation groove 6 protruding upwards on the side close to the first glue column 31; the second bull horn gate 22 is also provided with a bending deformation groove 6 protruding upwards on the side close to the first glue column, further improving stability.

[0041] The double-sided bull horn gate structure is relatively stable. Therefore, in this embodiment, the height of a single glue column of the double-sided bull horn gate and the radius of the ejector pin and the glue column are restricted to improve the stability of ejection and avoid flipping and flying.

[0042] The ox horn glue injection structure shown in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2 has been applied to actual production. After two years of operation, the product mass production is stable and the qualified rate is high.

[0043] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
