AI Technical Summary
In automotive headlight manufacturing, thin steel in the gasket mold causes cracks due to long-term uneven stress, which affects the pass rate of the gasket.
The decompression groove is opened on the side of the hard rubber bonded to the thin steel to remove the pressure force of the thin steel, and a communication groove connecting the decompression groove and the soft rubber forming chamber are opened between the top of the thin steel and the upper die core, so that the soft rubber flows in through these channels during injection, thereby balancing the pressure on both sides of the thin steel.
By balancing the pressure on both sides of the thin steel, cracks in the roots of the thin steel are avoided, the pass rate of the sealing gasket is improved, and this effect is achieved without affecting the product quality.

[0029] The present application opens a decompression groove 31 on the side of the hard glue 3 that is in contact with the thin steel 5, so as to relieve the pressing force exerted on the thin steel 5 by the vertical side of the hard glue 3, and at the same time opens a connecting groove 6 between the top of the thin steel 5 and the upper mold core to connect the decompression groove 31 and the soft glue molding cavity 4.
