[0039] The embodiment of the utility model provides an undercut flexible material demoulding structure and a mold device, the undercut flexible material demoulding structure comprises a fixed mold structure 10 and a movable mold structure 20;

[0040] The fixed mold structure 10 and the movable mold structure 20 are molded together to form a mold cavity; the mold cavity is partially recessed toward the fixed mold structure 10 to form an undercut cavity 19;

[0041] The fixed mold structure 10 is provided with a first through hole connected to the undercut cavity 19; a core-retracting insert 12 is provided in the first through hole;

[0042] The core-retracting insert 12 is connected to a core-retracting device, and the core-retracting device can drive the core-retracting insert 12 away from or close to the undercut cavity 19;

[0043] During molding, one end of the core-retracting insert 12 and the fixed mold structure 10 form an undercut cavity 19;

[0044] During demoulding, the core-retracting insert 12 moves in a direction away from the undercut cavity 19 .

[0045] When implementing it, Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, the surface of the product 30 to be formed is provided with an undercut structure 31;

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the undercut flexible material demoulding structure includes a fixed mold structure 10 and a movable mold structure 20;

[0047] The fixed mold structure 10 and the movable mold structure 20 are molded together to form a mold cavity, which has the same shape as the product 30 and is used to mold the product 30; the mold cavity has several areas that are recessed toward the fixed mold structure 10 to form undercut cavities 19;

[0048] The fixed mold structure 10 is provided with a first through hole (a through hole where the core-retracting insert 12 is located, not marked in the figure) connected to the undercut cavity 19; the number of the first through holes is determined according to the number of undercuts 31 required for the product 30; the core-retracting insert 12 is provided in the first through hole; the core-retracting insert 12 is adapted to the first through hole;

[0049] The core-retracting insert 12 is connected to the core-retracting device, and the core-retracting device can adopt an existing separation device; the core-retracting device can drive the core-retracting insert 12 away from or close to the undercut cavity 19;

[0050] During molding, one end of the core-retracting insert 12 close to the undercut cavity 19 and the first through hole of the fixed mold structure 10 form the undercut cavity 19;

[0051] During demoulding, the core-retracting insert 12 moves away from the undercut cavity 19. The withdrawal of the core-retracting insert 12 can, on the one hand, make room for the pull-out deformation of the undercut 31, thereby facilitating the pull-out of the undercut 31; on the other hand, it can destroy the surface adsorption environment between the undercut cavity 19 and the formed surface of the undercut 31 when being pulled out; thereby reducing the problem of the undercut 31 being pulled, deformed or damaged due to insufficient deformation space or excessive adsorption force with the inner wall of the undercut cavity 19 during the demoulding process.

[0052] The demoulding structure of the undercut flexible material provided by the embodiment of the utility model solves the problem that the product with undercut is easily deformed and damaged during demoulding by means of the fixed mold structure 10, the movable mold structure 20, the first through hole connected to the undercut cavity 19, the core-retracting insert 12, and the structure of the core-retracting device. Especially when producing products with large undercuts, the defective rate of the products can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the production quality and production efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, a protrusion 121 is provided at one end of the core-retracting insert 12 close to the undercut cavity 19 ; the diameter of the protrusion 121 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion of the core-retracting insert 12 connected thereto.

[0054] When implementing it, Figure 6 As shown, the core-retracting insert 12 is adapted to the first through hole, and a protrusion 121 is provided at one end of the core-retracting insert 12 close to the undercut cavity 19; the diameter of the protrusion 121 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion of the core-retracting insert 12 connected thereto. The undercut 31 formed by this structure can form a depression in the middle, thereby improving the adsorption performance of the undercut 31.

[0055] Furthermore, the protrusion 121 is hemispherical.

[0056] Furthermore, a hot needle valve 14 is provided in the core withdrawing insert 12 .

[0057] When implementing it, Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, a hot nozzle needle valve 14 is arranged in the core-retracting insert 12. In this structure, the core-retracting insert 12 can be used as a hot nozzle bushing, and the hot nozzle bushing and the hot nozzle needle valve 14 connection structure can adopt the existing structure and will not be repeated here.

[0058] Furthermore, the core withdrawing insert 12 moves synchronously with the hot nozzle needle valve 14.

[0059] During specific implementation, the core-retracting insert 12 moves synchronously with the hot nozzle needle valve 14. Since the core-retracting insert 12 needs to withdraw from the undercut cavity 19, the hot nozzle needle valve 14 must seal the glue position and cannot be separated from the glue sealing surface. If the hot nozzle needle valve 14 is opened for a long time and then closed, it will cause the hot nozzle needle valve 14 to have flash. Through the design of the synchronous movement of the core-retracting insert 12 and the hot nozzle needle valve 14, the glue sealing surface of the hot nozzle needle valve 14 and the core-retracting insert 12 remain relatively still, and only the core-retracting insert 12 and the fixed mold structure 10 are moving relatively, thereby achieving the purpose of not affecting the glue sealing.

[0060] Furthermore, the hot needle valve 14 is provided with a gate 141 ; the gate 141 is provided on the central axis of the undercut cavity 19 .

[0061] When implementing it, Figure 7 As shown, the gate 141 of the hot needle valve is arranged on the central axis of the undercut cavity 19 to avoid affecting the appearance of the gate 141.

[0062] Furthermore, the fixed mold structure 10 includes an upper fixed plate 15, a hot runner plate 16, a spring plate 17, and a fixed mold plate 18 which are arranged in sequence;

[0063] The movable mold structure 20 includes a movable mold plate 21 and a lower fixed plate 22 which are arranged in sequence;

[0064] The fixed mold plate 18 and the movable mold plate 21 are molded together to form the mold cavity;

[0065] The first through hole passes through the fixed template 18;

[0066] The core-retracting insert 12 is connected to a spring plate 17 ; the spring plate 17 is connected to an external buckle-making machine 40 ; the external buckle-making machine 40 drives the spring plate 17 away from or close to the fixed template 18 , thereby driving the core-retracting insert 12 away from or close to the undercut cavity 19 .

[0067] In a specific implementation, the fixed mold structure 10 includes an upper fixed plate 15, a hot runner plate 16, a spring plate 17, and a fixed mold plate 18 which are arranged in sequence;

[0068] The movable mold structure 20 includes a movable mold plate 21 and a lower fixed plate 22 which are arranged in sequence;

[0069] The fixed mold plate 18 and the movable mold plate 21 are molded together to form a mold cavity;

[0070] The first through hole penetrates the fixed template 18;

[0071] The upper end of the core-retracting insert 12 is connected to the spring plate 17; the spring plate 17 is connected to the external external button-making machine 40, and the external button-making machine 40 adopts the existing external button-making machine device; the external external button-making machine 40 drives the spring plate 17 away from or close to the fixed template 18, thereby driving the core-retracting insert 12 away from or close to the undercut cavity 19. The external external button-making machine 40 and the spring plate 17 constitute a core-retracting device;

[0072] The upper fixed plate 15 is provided with a glue inlet 151; the glue inlet 151 enters the mold cavity or the undercut cavity 19 through the flow channel formed by the hot runner plate 16, the spring plate 17, and the fixed mold plate 18 in sequence, or the glue inlet 151 enters the undercut cavity 19 through the flow channel formed by the hot runner plate 16, the core-retracting insert 12 and the hot nozzle needle valve 14 in sequence.

[0073] The mold opening method adopts secondary mold opening. The first mold opening is to open the core-retracting insert 12 through the core-retracting device to reduce the influence of air adsorption force; the second mold opening is to open the PL surface (parting surface), and then use an adsorption device such as a robot to adsorb the product surface and strongly pull out the product.

[0074] The undercut flexible material demoulding structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model reduces the ejection structure, simplifies the mold structure, and reduces the risk of template deformation compared to the existing mold structure.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the core-retracting insert 12 passes through the spring plate 17 and the fixed mold plate 18, the cross-section of the first through hole at the upper end of the spring plate 17 is T-shaped, and the cross-section of the upper end of the core-retracting insert 12 is T-shaped; the upper end of the core-retracting insert 12 is arranged in the first through hole at the upper end of the spring plate 17.

[0076] Furthermore, a spring 181 is provided in the fixed mold plate 18 ; when the spring plate 17 is assembled with the fixed mold plate 18 , the spring 181 is compressed by the spring plate 17 .

[0077] When implementing it, Figure 4 As shown, a spring 181 is provided in the fixed template 18; when the spring plate 17 is assembled with the fixed template 18, the spring plate 17 compresses the spring 181; when the external button making machine 40 and the spring plate 17 drive the core-retracting insert 12 away from the undercut cavity 19, at this time, the spring plate 17 is also away from the fixed template 18; the spring 181 can provide elastic force for the separation of the spring plate 17 and the fixed template 18, thereby improving the withdrawal efficiency of the core-retracting insert 12.

[0078] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a mold device, which adopts any of the above-mentioned undercut flexible material demoulding structures;

[0079] It also includes an adsorption device; the adsorption device adopts an existing structure, such as an existing negative pressure manipulator; after the mold is opened, the adsorption device adsorbs and takes out the product 30.

[0080] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
