[0002] As the Chinese automobile market matures and rises, large-scale sales have made Chinese joint ventures gradually feel the pressure of direct imports from abroad; the first step of localization is to choose a foreign-funded injection molding supplier that produces domestically; the second step of localization is to designate a mold factory to carry out technical research on automobile wheel cover molds, but foreign-funded injection molding suppliers are still producing them; the third step of localization is for domestic mold factories and injection molding factories to jointly develop lightweight products, with mold prices reduced to half of the original price and injection molding product prices reduced to one-third of the original price;

[0003] After analysis, it is found that the wall thickness of the automobile wheel cover product is about 1.5mm, which is a thin-walled part with a relatively soft material. Since the actual product of the automobile wheel cover has a large area of ​​undercut surface, it is necessary to design a slider core puller. The large undercut is wrapped on the punch core. The conventional mechanism needs to design a cylinder core puller on the opposite side to first pull out the undercut and then eject the product to demould. However, the existing molds for injection molding automobile wheel covers have complex structures, poor stability, short service life, and inconvenient maintenance.

[0004] To solve the above problems, after searching, a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN209580373U discloses an automobile wheel cover injection mold with a slider pulling deformation structure; the article includes a mold opening inclined guide column driving the large slider to retreat, the pull block remains motionless under the action of the spring force, and the large slider continues to retreat to drive the pull block to move, the product is pulled and deformed, and then ejected and demolded. This structure simplifies the mold structure, has good working stability, long service life, and convenient later maintenance;

[0005] When the product is formed inside the mold, an ejector mechanism is needed to eject the product. The ejector mechanism is generally driven by a cylinder, so a separate drive source is required to drive the product, which directly increases the mold opening cost of the product.

[0012] Preferably, two sets of stripping plates are screwed and fixed on both sides of the bottom of the upper mold, and a limiting opening is provided inside the stripping plate, and the limiting opening is an "I"-shaped structure.

[0013] Preferably, the limit opening is adapted to the size of the demoulding column, and the length of the demoulding column is greater than the depth of the limit opening. At the same time, the upper mold moves upward to demould the wheel cover product by driving the edge mold core upward through the demoulding plate and the demoulding column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: when the cooled product needs to be demolded, the upper mold moves upward under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, causing the demolding plate to move upward; when the bottom of the limit port contacts the demolding column, the demolding column, under the action of the demolding plate, causes the center mold core to move upward, driving the wheel cover product inside the mold cavity to move upward, thereby quickly demolding the wheel cover product and improving the molding efficiency of the mold; there is no need to use a separate driving source to drive the product for demolding, thereby directly reducing the mold opening cost of the product.
