Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of injection molds, and particularly relates to an injection mold lower die for automobile parts. Background Art

[0002] Some automobile parts will embed metal parts in the mold cavity before injection molding, such as ribs for increasing the strength of parts, nuts for connecting between components, and so on. Among them, the nuts are generally distributed at multiple points on the automobile parts. In the injection mold, the nuts are generally positioned by pins, but there is a gap between the pins and the nuts, which will cause poor position accuracy of the nuts on the injection-molded finished automobile parts, resulting in difficult installation of the automobile parts or arching and deformation after installation.

[0003] Therefore, we propose an injection mold lower die for automobile parts. Content of the Utility Model

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0053] Referring to the attached Figures 1-5 , an injection mold lower die for automotive parts, including a lower template 2, on which a lower mold cavity 2a is formed, which is combined with the upper mold cavity 1a of the upper template 1 to form an injection mold cavity 3 for the product;

[0054] A socket 6 is installed on the lower template 2. The upper end of the socket 6 protrudes from the surface of the lower mold cavity 2a to form a connecting ring 6a. The connecting ring 6a is externally threaded with a lower positioning sleeve 5. A vertically extending strip hole 5a is formed on the side wall of the lower positioning sleeve 5. A plurality of strip holes 5a are distributed in a ring around the lower positioning sleeve 5. An elastic arm 5b is provided in the strip hole 5a. The top of the elastic arm 5b is connected to the upper edge of the strip hole 5a. The root of the elastic arm 5b is provided with a driving block 10 extending inwards and an elastic convex block 9 extending outwards. The inner side wall of the driving block 10 is an inclined surface 10a with a curvature, which can better fit with the conical part of the positioning pin 4;

[0055] A positioning pin 4 is provided directly above the lower positioning sleeve 5. The positioning pin 4 is installed on the upper mold base and can penetrate the upper template 1 downwards. The positioning pin 4 includes a main body 4a, a driving part 4b and a guiding part 4c connected coaxially from top to bottom. The driving part 4b is a cone that tapers downwards;

[0056] During the process of inserting the positioning pin 4 into the lower positioning sleeve 5, the driving part 4b can extrude the driving block 10 outwards, causing the elastic arm 5b to turn outwards, and the elastic convex block 9 to press tightly against the embedded nut.

[0057] In this embodiment, the elastic arm 5b can be formed by a precision engraving machine on the side wall of the positioning sleeve. The top of the elastic arm 5b is provided with a connecting part 5b-1. The width of the connecting part 5b-1 is one-third to one-half of the width of the connecting arm main body 4a. A notch 5b-2 is formed at the upper end of the connecting part 5b-1 to reduce the thickness of the connecting part and facilitate elastic deformation and turning around the axis under force.

[0058] In this embodiment, a columnar and horizontally extending positioning portion 5b-3 is formed on the inner side wall of the root of the elastic arm 5b. The cross-section of the positioning portion 5b-3 is preferably polygonal, which can position the driving block 10 to prevent it from rotating. The positioning portion 5b-3 of the elastic arm 5b is inserted and matched with the positioning hole 10b of the driving block 10. After the second bolt 11 passes through the driving block 10, it is threadedly connected to the positioning portion to lock and fix the driving block 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, an installation hole 2b penetrating from top to bottom is formed on the lower template 2. A limiting flange extending inward is formed at the upper end of the installation hole 2b, and its lower end is sealed by a pressing plate 7. The [entity not clear in the original] is locked and fixed to the lower template 2 by a first bolt 8. The socket 6 is inserted into the installation hole 2b. The positioning step 6b at the upper end of the socket 6 is combined with the limiting flange, and its lower end is tightly pressed by the pressing plate 7.

[0060] In this embodiment, the elastic bump 9 is hemispherical. The elastic bump 9 is made of rubber and is vulcanized and bonded to the outer side wall of the root of the elastic arm 5b. After several elastic arms 5b turn outwards synchronously, multiple-point contact with the wall of the embedded nut can be formed. At the same time, a plurality of elastic bumps 9 are distributed at the roots of each elastic arm 5b, which can further increase the contact points and improve the stability of the embedded nut.
