Detailed Description of the Invention

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] As Figures 1-10As shown in the figure, the utility model is an injection mold for a quick-connect joint housing, including: a top plate 1, an upper template 2, a lower template 3, a support plate 4, a bottom plate 5, an upper mold core 6, a lower mold core 7, a first core 8, and an inner inclined ejector mechanism 9;

[0032] In this embodiment, the injection product is a quick-connect joint housing. As shown in the figure, the interior of the injection product has two undercut structures. After being formed by a conventional inner core, the inner core is not easily demolded. In this embodiment, the upper mold core 6 is connected inside the upper template 2, and the lower mold core 7 is connected inside the lower template 3. A cavity is formed between the upper mold core 6 and the lower mold core 7 for forming the external structure of the injection product. The first core 8 is movably arranged in the horizontal direction and is on one side of the injection product. It is in the cavity between the upper mold core 6 and the lower mold core 7 and is used for forming the inner straight cylinder structure at one end of the injection product. The inner inclined ejector mechanism 9 is between the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 and is also arranged in the horizontal direction. It is on the other side of the injection product and is used for forming the undercut structure and other straight cylinder structures inside the injection product. In this embodiment, by horizontally arranging the first core 8 and the inner inclined ejector mechanism 9, the horizontal arrangement is more compact, and multiple injection products can be formed simultaneously, increasing the output of one-time forming and thus improving production efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inclined ejector mechanism includes: a first slider seat 91, a core bottom plate 92, a core fixing plate 93, a second core 94, and a telescopic cylinder 95 that drives the first slider seat 91 to move along the product direction; a counterbore 911 is inwardly formed on the right side surface of the first slider seat 91, and the core bottom plate 92 is connected to the counterbore 911 through a screw 912. There is an active gap 913 between the end of the screw 912 nut and the counterbore 911. When the mold is opened, the telescopic cylinder 95 drives the first slider seat 91 to move to the right. The first slider seat 91 is separated from the core bottom plate 92 until the nut of the screw 912 interferes with the counterbore 911, driving the core bottom plate 92 to move to the right together. A chute 921 is formed on the surface of the core bottom plate 92 that fits with the core fixing plate 93. An active cavity 931 is formed inside the core fixing plate 93. The active cavity 931 communicates with the chute 921. One end of the second core 94 is limited and connected inside the chute 921, and the other end passes through the active cavity 931 and is placed in the cavity between the upper mold core 6 and the lower mold core 7 for forming the inner structure of the injection product.

[0034] A forming groove 941 is formed in the second core 94. Two lifters 97 are movably connected in the forming groove 941. One end of the lifter 97 is movably connected in the sliding groove 921, and the other end is matched with the second core 94 in the forming groove 941 for forming an undercut structure in an injection-molded product. In this embodiment, the lifter 97 is L-shaped, its horizontal wall is clamped in the sliding groove 921, and its vertical wall is inclined. The lifter 97 is clamped in the forming groove 941. After the mold is closed, the outer surface of the lifter 97 is matched with the outer surface of the second core 94. A wedge block 98 is slidably connected between the lifters 97. The wedge block 98 passes through the core bottom plate 92 and is connected to the first slider seat 91. In this embodiment, the wedge block 98 is between the vertical walls of the two lifters 97, and a dovetail groove is formed in the vertical wall. A dovetail slider protrudes from the wedge block 98, and the wedge block 98 is slidably connected to the dovetail groove of the lifter 97 through the dovetail slider. When the mold is opened, the upper template 2 moves upward to open the mold. The telescopic cylinder 95 drives the first slider seat 91 to move to the right. The first slider seat 91 drives the wedge block 98 to move to the right together. The wedge block 98 drives the two lifters 97 to move horizontally and face each other along the sliding groove 921, so that the two lifters 97 are separated from the undercut structure of the injection-molded product. Continuing to move to the right until the nut of the screw 912 interferes with the counterbore 911, it drives the core bottom plate 92 to move to the right together. The core bottom plate 92 and the core fixing plate 93 drive the second core 94 to completely separate from the product, completing the demolding. The forming and demolding of the undercut structure are realized at one time, improving the production efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, spring holes 914 are formed in the first slider seat 91 and the core bottom plate 92. Spring guide posts 915 are arranged in the spring holes 914. A spring 99 is sleeved on the spring guide posts 915. Two ends of the spring 99 are respectively connected to the first slider seat 91 and the core bottom plate 92. And the spring 99 in this embodiment is a tension spring 99. When the telescopic cylinder 95 drives the first slider seat 91 to move to the right, the spring 99 abuts against the core bottom plate 92, preventing the core bottom plate 92 from following, ensuring the stability of the actions such as the horizontal inward movement of the lifter 97 to separate from the undercut structure of the injection-molded product, improving the demolding success rate, and reducing the defective rate of injection molding production.

[0036] In this embodiment, the telescopic cylinder 95 is connected to the right side wall of the lower template 3 through a mounting seat 96. By arranging the telescopic cylinder 95 in the horizontal direction, it is possible to avoid adding structures in the vertical direction, reducing the complexity of the mold, and thus improving the efficiency of mold design and mold processing.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first core 8 moves horizontally through the second slider base 10; specifically, an active second slider base 10 is provided on the left side of the injection molded product, and the second slider base 10 is connected to the first core 8; a cam pin 11 is connected below the upper template 2, and the cam pin 11 is inserted into the second slider base 10. As shown in the figure, the cam pin 11 is inclined outward. When the upper template 2 moves upward, the second slider base 10 is driven to move leftward by the cam pin 11, so that the first core 8 can be withdrawn from the injection molded product.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support plate 4 is between the lower template 3 and the bottom plate 5. A ejector plate 12 is movably connected between the support plates 4. A ejector pin 13 is connected to the ejector plate 12. The ejector pin 13 passes through the lower template 3 and the lower mold core 7 for ejecting the injection molded product; when the first core 8 and the internal lifter mechanism 9 are completely withdrawn from the injection molded product, the injection molded product is ejected by the ejector pin 13 to realize the demolding of the product.

[0039] Working principle: When the mold is opened, the upper template 2 moves upward to open the mold. The second slider base 10 is driven to move leftward by the cam pin 11, so that the first core 8 can be withdrawn from the injection molded product; the telescopic cylinder 95 drives the first slider base 91 to move to the right side, and the spring 99 abuts against the core bottom plate 92 to prevent the core bottom plate 92 from running away. The first slider base 91 drives the wedge block 98 to move to the right side together. The wedge block 98 drives the two lifter blocks 97 to move horizontally towards each other along the chute 921, so that the two lifter blocks 97 are disengaged from the undercut structure of the injection molded product; continue to move to the right side until the nut of the screw 912 interferes with the counterbore 911, driving the core bottom plate 92 to move to the right side together. The core bottom plate 92 and the core fixing plate 93 drive the second core 94 to be completely disengaged from the product; thus, the forming and demolding of the internal undercut structure are realized at one time, improving the production efficiency.
