Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molds, in particular to an injection mold for a light guide column. Background Art
[0002] Molds are various molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain the desired products by injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting or forging molding, smelting, stamping and other methods. In short, molds are tools used to make molded objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. It mainly realizes the surface processing of objects by changing the physical state of the molded material, and is known as the "mother of industry". Injection molds are tools for producing plastic products. Generally, injection molds are composed of an upper mold and a lower mold. During injection molding, the upper mold and the lower mold are closed to form a runner system and a cavity for plastic products. During injection molding, the mold is clamped on the injection molding machine, and the molten plastic is injected into the cavity and cooled and formed in the cavity. At the same time, the molten plastic is also cooled in the runner system to form a runner system condensate. After the plastic product is formed, the upper mold and the lower mold are separated, and the plastic product is ejected from the cavity and leaves the mold through the ejection system. Finally, the upper mold and the lower mold are closed again for the next injection molding. The entire injection molding process is carried out in a cycle.
[0003] Two-color injection molding uses a double-barrel injection molding machine to complete the two molding of the product by rotating the movable mold 180°, thereby obtaining a two-color product with two materials. It can be seen that the movable mold part has exactly the same mold structure, while the injection molding of the two-shot material is completed by the differential mold structure of the fixed mold part.
[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, a two-color guide column plastic product includes a one-shot product and a two-shot product, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first mold corresponding to a one-shot product and a second mold corresponding to a two-shot product are correspondingly provided. In the first mold, the cavity has a molding area corresponding to the one-shot product and a molding area corresponding to the two-shot product. During the molding process of the one-shot product, the molding area of the one-shot product and the molding area of the two-shot product need to be separated from each other. In the prior art, the molding area of the one-shot product and the molding area of the two-shot product are generally separated from each other by cooperating with the parting surfaces of the upper mold core and the lower mold core, so that the parting surface of the upper mold core not only needs to match the molding shape of the one-shot product, but also needs to match the molding shape of the two-shot product and close the molding area of the two-shot product, which leads to a complex design structure of the upper mold core, which is not conducive to cost.
