[0029] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0030] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 4Describe an injection mold 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The injection mold 10 includes a front mold 11, a rear mold 12, and a positioning component 13. A first installation groove 111 is formed on the front mold 11 and is recessed toward the inside. The rear mold 12 is arranged corresponding to the front mold 11. A spring block 121 is arranged on the side of the rear mold 12 facing the front mold 11. The spring block 121 can selectively adhere to the front mold 11 and is provided with a second installation groove 1211 recessed toward the inside. One end of the positioning component 13 is received in the second installation groove 1211 and is connected to the spring block 121. The other end of the positioning component 13 extends toward the front mold 11 and cooperates with the first installation groove 111. Among them, the front mold 11, the rear mold 12, and the spring block 121 define an injection cavity 123. A first wall surface 112 is formed on the side of the front mold 11 facing the injection cavity 123. A second wall surface 1212 is formed on the side of the spring block 121 facing the injection cavity 123. The first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 are coplanarly arranged.

[0031] Currently, most of the exterior plastic parts of vehicles are injection molded. In order to reduce costs, the number of plastic parts is usually reduced. However, the reduction in the number of plastic parts will lead to an increase in the complexity of the single-piece injection molded parts and the corresponding mold structure. The complex mold structure will cause the problem of clamping lines in the injection molded parts, making it difficult to meet the requirements.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, specifically, the injection mold 10 may include a front mold 11 and a rear mold 12. The front mold 11 may be formed with a first installation groove 111, and the first installation groove 111 may be recessed toward the inside of the front mold 11. The rear mold 12 can be arranged corresponding to the front mold 11, and the rear mold 12 can selectively adhere to or separate from the front mold 11 to achieve injection molding. Among them, a spring block 121 may be arranged on the rear mold 12, and the spring block 121 may be located on the side of the rear mold 12 facing the front mold 11, that is, the spring block 121 may be located between the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12. The spring block 121 can play a role in further defining the specific shape of the injection molded part, and the spring block 121 can selectively adhere to the front mold 11. A second installation groove 1211 may be arranged on the spring block 121, and the second installation groove 1211 may be recessed toward the inside of the spring block 121.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 may be arranged corresponding to each other, and in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the rear mold 12 facing the front mold 11, the projections of the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 coincide. It can be understood that the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 are arranged opposite to each other in the direction of the rear mold 12 facing the front mold 11.

[0034] The injection mold 10 may further include a positioning component 13. One end of the positioning component 13 can be received in the second installation groove 1211, and the positioning component 13 can be connected to the ejector block 121. The other end of the positioning component 13 can extend toward the front mold 11 and cooperate with the first installation groove 111. Optionally, a detachable connection can be formed between the positioning component 13 and the first installation groove 111 by snap connection or plug connection.

[0035] Further, the front mold 11, the rear mold 12, and the ejector block 121 can define an injection cavity 123. A first wall surface 112 is formed on the side of the front mold 11 facing the injection cavity 123, and a second wall surface 1212 is formed on the side of the ejector block 121 facing the injection cavity 123. The first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 can be arranged coplanarly, so as to ensure that the stitch of the injection molded part is eliminated during injection molding and the product qualification rate is ensured. It should be noted that the coplanar arrangement of the first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 means that the first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 are in the same plane. During actual operation, before the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12 are closed, the positioning component 13 is first aligned and cooperated with the first installation groove 111, so as to ensure that the edge of the ejector block 121 is aligned with the edge of the front mold 11. During injection molding, the first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 are kept horizontal. Therefore, there is no stitch on the surface of the injection molded part, and no trimming is required, improving the product qualification rate.

[0036] In short, the injection mold 10 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a positioning component 13. The first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 that cooperate with the positioning component 13 are respectively arranged on the front mold 11 and the ejector block 121. After the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12 are closed, the positioning component 13 can cooperate with the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 respectively to make the first wall surface 112 of the front mold 11 and the second wall surface 1212 of the ejector block 121 coplanar, ensuring that there is no stitch on the surface of the injection molded part after injection molding. Compared with the prior art, no additional trimming is required, ensuring the product qualification rate, reducing the cost, and shortening the product delivery cycle.

[0037] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the positioning component 13 may include a positioning block 131 and a positioning screw 132. A part of the positioning block 131 may be received in the first installation groove 111, and another part of the positioning block 131 may be received in the second installation groove 1211. It can be understood that the positioning block 131 may be connected to the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 by a snap connection, and both ends of the positioning block 131 may respectively abut against the inner walls of the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211. A positioning hole extending axially is further formed on the positioning block 131. A stepped surface 1311 may be formed on the inner wall of the positioning hole. The positioning screw 132 may pass through the positioning hole, and one end of the positioning screw 132 can abut against the stepped surface 1311, so as to realize the axial limit of the positioning screw 132. The other end of the positioning screw 132 can protrude from the positioning block 131 and be connected to the elastic block 121. Optionally, the positioning screw 132 and the elastic block 121 are connected by a threaded connection. An external thread is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning screw 132, and an internal thread matching the external thread is formed on the elastic block 121. The positioning block 131 and the elastic block 121 are connected by screwing the positioning screw 132 and the elastic block 121 together.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the depth of the first installation groove 111 is D1, and it satisfies the relationship: 10mm ≤ D1 ≤ 15mm, that is, the depth of the first installation groove 111 can be any value between 10mm and 15mm. For example, the depth of the first installation groove 111 can be, but is not limited to, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, etc. The depth of the second installation groove 1211 is D2, and it satisfies the relationship: 10mm ≤ D2 ≤ 15mm, that is, the depth of the second installation groove 1211 can be any value between 10mm and 15mm. For example, the depth of the second installation groove 1211 can be, but is not limited to, 10mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm, etc. Such a setting can ensure that the positioning component 13 can better cooperate with the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211, avoiding problems such as inaccurate positioning and difficult positioning caused by the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211 being too shallow or too deep, and improving the reliability of the positioning component 13.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the shortest distance between the inner wall of the second installation groove 1211 and the second wall surface 1212 is L, and it satisfies the relational expression: 8 mm ≤ L ≤ 12 mm, that is, the shortest distance between the inner wall of the second installation groove 1211 and the second wall surface 1212 can be any value between 8 mm and 12 mm. For example, the shortest distance between the inner wall of the second installation groove 1211 and the second wall surface 1212 can be, but is not limited to, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, etc. Such a setting can ensure that after the positioning component 13 cooperates with the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 1211, the first wall surface 112 and the second wall surface 1212 can be coplanar, and then there is no clamping line on the surface of the injection molded part after injection molding, ensuring the product qualification rate.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a third installation groove 1213 may further be formed on the elastic block 121. The third installation groove 1213 may be recessed toward the inside of the elastic block 121. A fourth installation groove 122 may be formed on the rear mold 12. The fourth installation groove 122 may be correspondingly arranged with the third installation groove 1213. The injection mold 10 may further include an elastic component 14. A part of the elastic component 14 may be received in the third installation groove 1213 and abut against the inner wall of the third installation groove 1213. Another part of the elastic component 14 may be received in the fourth installation groove 122 and abut against the inner wall of the fourth installation groove 122. The elastic component 14 may eject the elastic block 121 when the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12 are separated, so as to take out the injection molded part.

[0041] Furthermore, the elastic component 14 may include a guiding member 141 and an elastic member 142. A part of the guiding member 141 may be received in the third installation groove 1213, and another part of the guiding member 141 may be received in the fourth installation groove 122. The elastic member 142 may be sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the guiding member 141, and one end of the elastic member 142 can abut against the inner wall of the third installation groove 1213, and the other end of the elastic member 142 can abut against the inner wall of the fourth installation groove 122. It can be understood that the guiding member 141 can play a guiding role and a role in limiting the elastic member 142. When the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12 are separated, the elastic member 142 is restored under the influence of the elastic force. Therefore, the elastic member 142 can provide an elastic force to the elastic block 121, so that the elastic block 121 is detached from the rear mold 12. The guiding member 141 has a guiding role to ensure that the force generated by the deformation of the elastic member 142 can act on the elastic block 121. In some embodiments, the elastic member 142 may be configured as a spring.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first engaging member 1214 may be further provided on one side of the elastic block 121 facing the front mold 11, and a second engaging member 113 may be provided on the front mold 11. The second engaging member 113 can be correspondingly arranged with the first engaging member 1214, and the second engaging member 113 can be engaged and cooperate with the first engaging member 1214. When the front mold 11 is separated from the rear mold 12, the second engaging member 113 can synchronously pull the first engaging member 1214 to make the elastic block 121 pop up, ensuring that the elastic block 121 can be separated from the rear mold 12 when the front mold 11 and the rear mold 12 are separated. Further, the first engaging member 1214 is configured as one of a hook and a tongue, and the second engaging member 113 is configured as the other of a hook and a tongue. In a specific embodiment, the first engaging member 1214 can be configured as a hook, and the second engaging member 113 can be configured as a tongue.

[0043] As Figure 1 As described above, in some embodiments of the present application, a wear-resistant plate 1215 is further provided on one side of the elastic block 121 facing the rear mold 12. The wear-resistant plate 1215 can increase the hardness and wear resistance of the elastic block 121, thereby improving the service life of the elastic block 121. Specifically, the wear-resistant plate 1215 can significantly reduce the friction generated between the elastic block 121 and the rear mold 12, thereby reducing wear. The material of the wear-resistant plate 1215 usually has a high hardness, can resist the compressive stress and friction generated during plastic filling and flowing, maintain the precision stability of the shape and size of the elastic block 121, and reduce the replacement frequency and cost.
