[0027] The following further describes in detail the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Example:
[0029] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 7 figures:
[0030] The utility model provides a mold for injection molding of a steering wheel trim piece, which includes an A plate 11 and a B plate 12. Grooves are respectively formed on the adjacent sides of the A plate 11 and the B plate 12, and the two grooves can respectively clamp a front mold core 21 and a rear mold core 22. An injection molding assembly for injection molding a product body 10 is arranged between the A plate 11 and the B plate 12. The injection molding assembly includes a first slide block insert 26 and a second slide block insert 28. A first slide block insert 26 is arranged between the front mold core 21 and the rear mold core 22. A chute is formed on one side of the first slide block insert 26, and a slidable second slide block insert 28 is arranged in the chute.
[0031] Please refer to as Figure 4 shown, an installation groove 23 is formed at the top of the rear mold core 22. Specifically, a first wear-resistant block 24 and a second wear-resistant block 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation groove 23 through screws. The first wear-resistant block 24 and the second wear-resistant block 25 are installed at the bottom of the installation groove 23 through screws, which can well protect the inner wall surface of the installation groove 23 from wear.
[0032] Please refer to as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, a first slide block insert 26 is arranged at the top of the first wear-resistant block 24. A product body 10 to be molded is clamped and fixed on one side of the first slide block insert 26, which can ensure the position stability of the product body 10 during the molding process. In addition, a first runner 27 is arranged on one side of the first slide block insert 26. A gate 35 is arranged at one end of the first runner 27, which can introduce mold filling material into the product body 10 during the molding process. At the same time, a runner hole groove 20 is also formed at the top of the rear mold core 22. The other end of the first runner 27 penetrates into the runner hole groove 20, which forms a support point and can stably fix the position of the first runner 27. In this way, not only can the stability of the runner passage be ensured, but also the runner can be prevented from damaging the product body 10 due to the pulling force during the mold opening and closing movement, thereby further improving the reliability and stability of the entire mold system.
[0033] Please refer to as Figure 4 shown, one side of the second slide block insert 28 contacts the first runner 27. In addition, a second runner 29 is arranged at the top of the first slide block insert 26. By arranging the first runner 27 and the second runner 29 together on the first slide block insert 26 and using the slidable second slide block insert 28 in the chute for adjustment, the first runner 27 and the second runner 29 can be flexibly positioned along with the movement of the slide block during the molding process, which solves the problem that the position of the runner carrier in the traditional mold is fixed and immovable. Through the sliding structure between the first slide block insert 26 and the second slide block insert 28, the runner can better adapt to the change of the product shape during the mold opening and closing movement, thereby expanding the applicable range of this type of mold.
[0034] Please refer to as Figure 4 shown, a lifter base 30 is provided on the top of the second wear-resistant block 25. An inner cavity channel is opened on one side of the lifter base 30. This inner cavity can be in fluid communication with the first runner 27 and the second runner 29. At the same time, a water pipe 31 is specially designed to pass through the channel. The water pipe 31 in the lifter base 30 can communicate with the first runner 27 and the second runner 29 through the inner cavity channel to realize the transportation of fluid.
[0035] Please refer to as Figure 4 shown, the injection molding assembly further includes two groups of lifter ejector pins 32. Two through holes 33 are correspondingly opened on the lifter base 30 and the first lifter insert 26. These two groups of lifter ejector pins 32 can be respectively slidably inserted into the two through holes 33. At the same time, springs 34 are arranged in the two through holes 33 on the first lifter insert 26. The two groups of lifter ejector pins 32 are respectively inserted into the two springs 34. When the mold is opened, when the lifter retracts, since the lifter ejector pins 32 are all arranged in the springs 34, their movement of leaving will be delayed compared with the retraction movement of the lifter. In this way, the clamping force of the lifter disengaging from the cavity can be realized first. And the springs 34 make the movement of the lifter ejector pins 32 delayed. It can continue to hold against the back of the product when the lifter disengages first, preventing the product from disengaging with the lifter, so as to achieve the purpose of better separation of the product from the cavity.
[0036] Please refer to as Figure 1 As Figure 2 shown, a hot runner plate 13 and a face plate 14 are sequentially arranged on the top of the A plate 11. A hot runner 15 is arranged on one side of the hot runner plate 13. A locating ring 16 is arranged on the top of the face plate 14. The B plate 12 is connected to the bottom plate 18 through two groups of square irons 17. A ejector plate 19 is arranged between the two groups of square irons 17.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are given for purposes of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the present invention to the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thus design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.
